A New Lincoln paper, the first issue of which appeared June 12, is the Alliance, which is the official organ of the Nebras ka Farmers' Alliance. Tins week witnesses another closing of of the Plattsmouth city schools and the commencement of a class of graduates an occurance which the city should be proud of. - Whkn Plattsmouth is compared with the rest of the the ''third cities" of the state, there are none of them making more substantial and extensiye progress than she h. The weather of the past week, though sultry, is the most profitable to the state that could be had. It is known as "corn weather." During these hot days and nights you can almost see the corn grow, and the crop, which wa3 for some weeks stationary in growt'i, now has an excep tional good start. Those who stay in pleasant homos and can not find means to go to Europe this year may take comfort in the announce ment made that "the most popular steamers arc so packed that it requires four seperate dinners each day to acom vnoJate the crowd." With such sur roundings, it will not be strange If many sing: 'Home, cwtet home, There's no place like home," long before they get back. NEW PRODUCT FOR NEBRASKA. Flax culture in Nebraska is a topic now being discussed all over this state in newspaper from the largest to the small est. The seed of the ilax is very valuable nnd the grain is now grown quite ex tensively for that alone, but ie is also known that an excellent quality of twine can be made from the straw, but because of a cheaper process for poorer material the producing of twine or fiber Irom liax straw has not been successful. But now there comes a voice from over the ocean which assures the American people the cost of separating the fibre has been overcome and a line product will be the result. America is a great llax country and recent investigation and tcits go to prove Nebraska's soil and climate adapt ed to that production. If the claims in the following letter are true, llax will soon be a truly profitable gain. 3Ir. Willett. Assistant Secretary of the department of Agriculture, ha received a letter from Ireland, which, he thinks, if the writer is not too enthusiastic, will solve the important problem of exclusive and profitable flax culture in this country The writer says: "Thera is every reason why the Ameri can farmers should produce a million acres of flax for both seed and fibre over and above wiiat is now produced, which would give 12,000.000 to 13,000,000 bushels of seed, worth as many millions of dollars, and 2.500,000 of tons of liax straw, worth i!.0,000,000, and from which 500,000 tons of flax fibre would be' ob- t,;,i -r.rh i. 1 00 0;K) 000. Once cs- tablished, American inventus would soon build up an industry to consume the raw material. 'Further than this, I have to tay that I believe an entire revolution in flax and linen for the whole world is at haud, and most assuredly an aiting the operation of the next few months to demonstrate this in America. I have discovered a process JY which lhe flax straw is handl ed and its fibre recovered in a length of time of but five minutes, from the dry natural straw to the perfect fibrq, doing away -with all water or dew retting and the labor of scutchinir. and nroducins h fibre as soft and fine as raw Bilk. savinj nore as sou ana line as raw ml, savin- uio great expense oi uicaci.ing, wane wic fibre is much stronger and the yield much greater than ly the old process of dew and water retting. "I enclose vou a small sample of the fibre as produced in fire minutes by the new nrocesa from the flax tit raw taken in its natural condition, and no injurious chemicals are used, nothing more so than an emulsion of linseed oil." Eli Whitney's cotton gin did away with the difficulty which was exactly an alogous with our flax troubles. Is the 4,Eli Whitney" for the flax to como in j our day? FIGURES COMPARED A Weeping Water paper, edited in the L I ....... .1 immediate neighborhood oi our county seat aitatir, Harry IUce, last week put its foot into the soup in elegant style, 1 " - I and appeals to the horny-handed voters of the county to sit down hard on Platts mouth on account of election frauds be- . . 1 . .1 r 1 I inr perpctratcii at tne juvcimuit cjlu- " I tion, and the court house .on., ciec- tion last week. As proof of the alleged frauds, that statesman and journalist points to the vote cast in November last, in Plattsmouth, for Plattsmouth as coun ty seat and compares it with that cast at the same election for county commis sioner, arguing that because there was an excess of votes cast on the county seat matter oyer and above that cast for foiintv commissioner that such fact proves that tho excess so cabt was frudu lent, etc. Now. not for the purpose of w,; wf,.p wiitnr nf tl,ftBtatf morals existimr at his own home, for we know he knows all about the rottenness of the county seat ring of that city, avc will mako a little compari- r .v. ti..j. i. ,i w.n,nrT I SOU VI llie i lutuuiuuiu aiiu. uuiiu6 i wf,r vr,t. oAt at the November elec- tion. in hopes that the citizens of that locality and the western portion of Cass countv may read the figures and know i just how honest that county seat ring at Weeping Water i3. In the village of Weeping Water, where the county seat syndicate resides, there were cast at the November election 508 votes for presi dential electors and 747 votes for re location of county scat, showing an ex cess or 2:59 votes. In the Third ward of lattsmouth, which the Weeping Water editor selects as the polling place where the greatest fraud was committed at that election, there were cafc for presi dential electors G01 votes, and against re-location of county seat, 810; showing an excess cf 200 votes. In other words, at Weeping Water, according to the po litical county seat logic of our editorial friend out there, out of a total of 747 votes cast there were 239 illegal votes cast, while in the Third ward of Platts mouth out of a total of 810 votes cast there were 20'.) illegal votes. What does our Weeping Water neighbor thluk of these figures? What sort of a show inz does it make for a polling place where the minauers of the election franchise are charging everybody else 1 ? Tln snvm tureen of tliC Eagh is sadly disfigured by the editorial foot of that Journal. The safest thing our neighbor can do is to good na- turedly (?) call the people of Platts mouth thieves, robbers and highway men. The moment he goes to fooling with the figures he cppils the effect of his long illused county seat sectional ar gument. IMPORTANT TO THE CITIZENS. A Traveling Man Creates Great Ex citement in the Empire House- IXDEPEXDENt-ls, loWA, Oct. 14, 1S8S. Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jachion, Mich: Gexts: Your Mr. Brooks came here tonight and registered as agent for Hib bard's Rheumatic Syrup, apd as ho did so it awakened in me an interest neyer before realized in a guest at mv house. You will not wonder at it when I tell you the story.. For years I have been greatly afflicted with iiiijammatory rheu mafiem thp. nain and sorenctw of the joipts at time3 being almost unbearable; could move ajjout oulv- with the aid of crutches. In addition to llia my stomach became badly diseased, and neuralgia set in, which threatened to end my day. A traveling man stopping with me gave quite a history of your Syrup, and the peculiarities of its combination, which induced mo to try it. I hav taken six bottles and no act in my life affords me greater satisfaction than in writing you I am a well ian. - It will be a pleasure for re G answer any communications, for I beiieve U to be the best remedy ever formulated.

And what is more important a "tobacco breath" is decidedly untnenaiy to tiieni. prm3 cf manv diseases infect through the air passages. IIewho6mokeB does not furnish tavorabie conditions tor iimir lrulo-nient. According to The Sci- o -- - " ence, Dr. Uajek, of Vienna has declared that smokers are less liable to diphtheria thnn non-smokers in the ratio of about one to three; and . Dr. Schiff says that smoking is forbidden in the bacteriologi cal lalioratories, because it is known to hinder the development of bacteria in the wnrinna culture media. We think Dr. Uajek does not go far enough, and be lieve that ttie physician wno laKes a 'o-nrwl Rinoke" before he is exposed to a diphtheria patient, and another as soon soon as he leaves inui, is pracucaiiy saie from infection. Not a few clerervmen are quite proline in inventions of new remedies and meth od of treatment of disease. Such seem to entertain the idea that their profes sional training lias mauo mem unusuaiiy .lipmin"- in matters physical as well as moral. On of the latest contributions this Konrca is a remedv for insom- ni"fi The acent recommended as a cure is the peanut, and it is advised that it be eaten freely just before retiring. A mem ber of the cergy reports success with this treatment after having fried other means without good results, ur course, the assumption is that the peanut pos sesses some sedative principle, if it has Rimh. however, it has never vet bvvn dis- covered. The reaj value of the peanut lies in its fixed oil, which amounts to tlmn 20 ner cent. This oil has about the same medicinal qualities os olive oil. (Jheimsts endeavored to use it in nharmaceutical preparations, but did not do well with it. It has been used for various purposes in the arts, as for r.ilinc machinery, in the manufacture pf light woolen cloths, etc. If the peanut has a good effect in insomnia, it can be nttrihurpd to its food value, pure and simple. And there arp any number of other foods which would be preferable, for peanuts, as usually sold, are very dif ficult of digestion, and If eaten freely at bedtime for several nights, would be likely to bring on a smart case of dys pepsia. Let those who would use pea nuts in insomnia try bread and niilk; it will be just as serviceable as a remedial '""Tina" extent pf injury which man can suffer from and vet live is simply niar- roL.ua no tho following case shows. It also offers some evidence of the skill of surgeons of the present day. A Parisian, n(rol 90 vmrs. swallowed a wooden spoon. Tvi-plra hours after he felt severe pains and had a sensation of tearing asunder in the neighborhood or the stomach, in o ciwrt rim the &Doon could be felt just a little above tho nayeL The following day his physician, - weuw, vui uuwu and opened the stomach, but found it empty. He then mado an incision over fhn eisv-n and easily extracted it. Now. in this case, the spoon bored through the walls of the stomach, ana nnaiiy passea - tf it into thfi abdominal cavity, some twelve or fifteen hours after it had been oo-niirtwod. The tear it made in thp stomach healed up with exceeding rapid ity.'and, although that organ was taken out and carefully examined when Le Dentu opened it-forty-three hours after the spoon had been swallowed no trace of the tear ppuld be found. Another marvelous feature about this case was the wauJuring about of the spoon in the abdominal cavity without setting up in flammation. The operation lasted a little over two hours, including the chloro forming, and a 6peedy recovery took place. In itself there was perhaps noth ing wonderful, for gastrotomy is now quite freqen'tly performed. In some re spects fhis case 'was no more" interesting than that of an iimaate in one of pur hos pitals here. A man swallowed a set pf false teeth. They did not pass down Into the stomach, but remained lodged in the lower part of the passage to it. The at tending surgeon opened the stomach, dislodged .tLe teeth and removed them. A speedy .recovery took' place. Boston IIralL ' Wife I saw you kiss the nurse this afternoon, sir! - Husband Well, why not? Didn't she save our child when he had the croup?
