The weather ot late has been spec ially fine for the growth and spread of diphtheria, and several severe cases have been reported. James Mitchell's little folks are among the afflicted, but are convalescent. It is hoped further spread of the disease may be prevented, and that the schools will not have to be closed, though several parents are keeping their children at home on account of the disease. The progressive ladies of Weatfield, Ind., issued a "Woman's Edition" of the Westfield News, bearing date of April 3, 1896. The paper is filled with matter of interest to woman, and we notice the following from a correspon dent, which the editors printed, real izing that it treats upon a matter of vital imnortance to theic sex: "The best remedy for croup, colds and bron chitis that I have been able to find is Chamberlain '8 Cough Remedy.

The employes of thd "Budweiser department" of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery association were remembered with a special gift today. The reason for the celebration was the filling of the five hundred millionth bottle of "Budweiser," These astonishing figures show the great popularity of this beer in Amer ican households and all over the world. Five hundred million bottles of a single brand is a record that has been reached by no other brewery in the world, and the officers of that monster enterprise have cause to be jubilant.

All the railroads in the state re ported snow along their respective lines yeste'day morning. The snow throughout Nebraska is of about the same depth as that in Omaha, says the Omaha Bee. In Kansas the snow along the railway lines is about six inches in depth. In Wyoming there has been no snow since Monday, but the thermometer has been steadily failing.

Upon Examination the l'hyslt lans Found That Amputation of the Injured Limb Was Imperative, Aud the Operation Was Successfully IVrformod Last Kvenlng Other News. From Thursday's Daily Tub Nkws succeeded this morning in learning tho full details of the un fortunate accident which befoli County Treasurer EiUenbary yester day afternoon. It seems he was out quail hunting in his father's orchard, about 2 p. m., ana naving seen a covey ui unuo across the fence in another Held, ho . . , 9 t.i. started to cross the fence with the shotgun which he was carrying in bio left hand, or under his left arm the muzzle pointing forward. He was on the top board of tho fence with his ritrht limb over, when the board broke and in the fall tho gun, which was cocked, was discharged. The en tire load of fine shot entered his ankle from tho muzzle of the gun, which could have been only a few inches away. The ankle joint was shattered and the two bones of the leg the t.ihin. and fibula were fractured for four inches above the joint. The'ar- ticular surface of the ankle joint was hlnwn to fragments, makintr a most trhastlv and oainful wound. The bones were so badly broken and flesh B A lacerated by the force of tho explosion that amputation was found imperative. As soon as the accident happened Mr. Eikenbary called for help, and he was carried into the house. Doctors Wallaco and Davis of Union were auickly called and a telephone message was sent to this city for Dr. Humphrey, who made quick time in reaching the bedside of the injured man: After a careful examination of the wound, the threo physicians agreed that amputation was necessary and at 6 o'clock last night, Dr. Hum' nhrev performed the operation, as sisted by Dr Wallace and Dr. Davis. At 3:30 this morning the patient was recovering nicelv from the shock of amputation and seemed in a fair way for complete recovery. OliiTUAKY. John Frederick Stull was born in Germany, May 13, 1831, aud in 1834 he came with his parents, Henry and Elizabeth Stull, to the United States settling in Piko county, Ohio, lie learned the trade of blacksmith, serving an apprenticeship of two and one-half years at Piketon. He then opened a shop of his own and worked there for two years more. In 1859 ho wAnt tn Kentucky, then returned to Ohio and lived for a time at Columbus From the latter c'.tv he went to Illi nois, and worked at bis trade and in the fall of 1S-35 moved to Council Bluffs. He met an old Ohio friend there by the name of Sayers, and that gentle man gave him employment. He made a trip out as far west as Salt Creek, and then back to Plattsmouth in Feb ruary, 1856, where he remained and erected the first blacksmith snop in this county. He continued in business for a time; then took up a preemption claim out on the Platte bottom,wnere he lived up to the time ol his death January 1, 189S. He married the lady who survives him December 25. 1856. His wife was also born in Germany, her maiden name being Agatha Hengstler. Six children are living Jacob.Frederick, rawrence. Henrv.

A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case of la giippe, and recognizing it as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy, and the many good recorameDdatious included therein, we concluded to make - first trial of the medicitie. To say that it was satisfactory in its results, is put it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent cure. We have no hesi tancy in recommending this excellent Cough Remedy to anyone atHicted with a cough or cold in any form. The Banner of Liberty,Liberty town, Mary land.

James Prosser, a famous colored ca terer of this city, dead long ago, fur nished tho following formula for pre paring and serving terrapin, which was published in a gastrononii journal at tho time when he was on earth : "You can't enjoy terrapin unless the day is nippin. Temperaturo and terra pin go hand in hand. Now, as to your terrapin. Bless you, there is all the difference in the world in them. Tho more northerly is the terrapin found the better. You eat a Florida terrapin you needn't despise it, for terrapiu'is terra pin everywhere but you get a Chesa peake one or a Delaware bay one, or, better still, a Long Island one, and there is just the difference between $ 10 a dozen and $86. Warm water kinder washes the delicate flavor out of them. Don't you let Mr. Bergh know it, bat jrour terrapin must be boilod alive. Have a good big pot, with a hot fire un der it, so that he shan't languish, and when it has got on a full head of steam pop him in. What I am goin to give is recipe for a single one. If you are aw fully rich and go in for a gross of terra pin, just use your multiplication table. Just as soon as he caves in watch him and try his flippers. When they part when you pry them with your finger nail, he is good. Open him nicely with a knife. Bilin of him dislocates the snuffbox. There ain't overmuch of it, more's the pity. The most is in the jints of the legs and side lockers, but if you want to commit murder just you emash his gall, and then your terrapin is gone forever. Watch closely for egga and handle them gingerly. Now, bav in got him or her all into shape, put the meat aside. Take three fresh eggs you must have them fresh. Bile 'em hard and mash em smooth. Add to that a tablespoonful of sifted flour, three tablespoonfuls of cream, salt and pepper (red pepper to a terrapin is just depravity) and two wineglasses of sher ry wine. Wine as costs $2. 50 a bottle ain't a bit too good. There never was a gotega in all Portugal that wouldn t think itself honored to have itself mixed op with a terrapin. Now you want quite a quarter oi a pouna oi ine very oess fresh butter and put that in a porcelain covered pan and melt it first mustn't be browned. When it s come to be oily, put in your terrapin, yolks of egg, wine and all. Let it simmer gently. Bilm up two or three times does the business. What you are after is to make it blend. There ain't uothin that must bo too point ed in terrapin stew. It wants to be a quiet thing, a suave thing, just pervad ed with a most beautiful and natural terrapin aroma. You must serve it to the people that eats it on a hot plate, but the real thing is to have it on a chafin dish, and though a man ought not to be selfish there is a kind of divine satisfaction in eatin it all yourself." Philadelphia Times. ANCIENT STUTTGART. Postal and Traveling Accommodations of the Old German City. The post relations of ancient Stuttgart were unpretentious. The two maid servants of the postmaster distributed through the city the daily letters, which thev carried in the same basket witn tne family marketing. Letters were carried out of the city by postilions. There was a number of couriers, and as a surety against mistakes there hung in the post- office, beside the curious mail bags, a huge whip, with which, when the com mission had been given to the courier, a powerful blow for the strengthening of his memory was dealt him. Coaches and post wagons were inno cent of any suggestion of comfort a hieh. clumsy wooden box was secured by thick leathern straps, and in the cavernous bottom were confined together packages and passengers. Up and down hill, over ruts and rocks, the cumbrous vehicle rattled on its way, the hapless travelers being ever on the defensive against the assaults of tumbling boxes and bundles. And then the weary slow ness of the way I Formerly the journey from Stuttgart to Tubingen was made in 12 hours. The same journey ia now made in four hours. The postilions alighted to take refreshments when it pleased them, and one traveler has left a dismal record of a journey that h nnrei made, durinz whioh the driver took the horses from the carriage ana attached them to a hay wagon that had heen left mired in the mud. The man drove the wason into the next village, and when there he joined the grateful neighbors in a carousal, while the tirca passengers languished on the dusty country road. Elise J. Allen in Har per's Magazine. The Modern Agnostic We look at our churches with their congregations, growing in numbers and dwindling in faith, says a. u. Lnap- man in The Atlantic, and we ask our selves: In all these buildings, cheap or costly, what real prayers rise, and of those that rise do any get above the roof? What God hears them and has there ever been an answered prayer? We look at the face of the dead and repeat a burial service. If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephe bus, what advantageth it me if the dead rise not? And as we say the words we ask ourselves "Do the dead rise?" And if any one is found who believes these things he knows that there is another at his elbow who believes them not a tvhit or an atom, and these two can hit ui no universe that shall satisfy both, tor can one be poet to the other.

When savage people first come in con tact with tho whites, nouo of tho won ders that they boo is regarded with more suspicion than large nheets of paper. TVm mttivn in ant to roiard TnTer as a sort of cloth, and the fact: thnt it tears raiHilv and is worthless for most of tho purposes to which cloth is put convinces him that it is a fraud. One or two Kongo travelers told of the diHgust with which the natives at first regarded paper. The Kongo tribes, by the way, are on the lookout for sharpers, and it is exceedingly hard work for anybody to Bell them a bad quality of cutlery or cloth. Savages Boon find, however, that paj.er is not in tended to servo tho purposes of cloth. Then they ceaso to look upon it as a fraud, but they do not think it ranks high among white man's manufactures, and they have little une for it. Some time ago a well known explorer was traveling in tho interior of Queens land, Australia, where he met many natives who had never seen a white man before. Ono day a crowd of natives was in the white man's camp carefully inspect ing the explorer and his baggago when a newspaper happened to drop out of his pocket. The natives unfolded and spread it out on tho ground. They decided that it must be an article of wearing apparel, and one of them tried it on. He wrap ped it round his shoulders likea Bhawl and sat down on the ground, arranging his covering this way and that and watching the faces of the crowd to see what they thought of his elegant gar ment, covered as it was with many thousands of curious marks. Presently, however, an accident hap pened. While the savage was rearrang ing his shawl and trying to bring the corners together in front of him the gar ment began to tear at the nape of, his neck. A howl from the crowd called at tention to the disaster. The blanket, or whatever it was, was evidently made of the poorest sort of material. Tho savage took his covering off, ex amined the mischief he had wrought, made the tear a little longer and then with his finger poked a hole through the paper. That settled the fact that the article was worthless. The newspaper sudden ly lost all interest for the natives, who tnrned their attention to less destructi ble objects. Pearson's Weekly. BREAKFAST CEREALS. They Contain Essential Elements For Per fect Nourishment of the Body. "Cereals and fruits should form the baso of breakfast foods," writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer on "Breakfast Cereals and Fruits" in her cooking lesson in The Ladies' Home Journal. "They will sup port muscular action, preserve the heat of the body and strengthen the brain in its nervous activity. Whole or steel cut oats and whole wheat, from which our nineteenth century bread should be made, contain the essential elements for the perfect nourishment of the human body. The great objection to cereal foods is their difficulty of digestion, not from any fault of the foods, but, first, irom lack of time in cooking and, second, from lack of proper mastication. Raw starches are indigestible. The first step, then, toward the digestion of starches is over the fire. Each little cell must be ruptured, and for this long and careful cooking is required. The second step to the digestion of starches is in the mouth. They are there converted from the insoluble starch to soluble sugar. Ji they are swallowed quickly, without mastication, they miss this digestion, entering the stomach as strangers. This organ not being prepared to receive them, they are cast out into the small intestines to be entirely instead of part ly digested. This organ, now compelled to do, in addition to its own duties, the work of the mouth, soon becomes over taxed, and we have, as a result, the disease most common in this country intestinal indigestion. 14 Of the breakfast cereals eteel cut oats head the list. Any of the wheat germ preparations are good. After these come the rolled wheat and barley and rice preparations. All these foods, how ever, must be thoroughly cooked and eaten without sugar. " Why He Left the Stage. There is in Philadelphia a man who abandoned the theatrical profession be cause he could not lift Fanny Daven port. He was a member of one of the local stock companies about ao years a- - J- A. ago, wnen juiss uavenporu came Philadelphia with one of the men oi her company sick. She applied to the manager of the theater in whioh the young man referred to was employed for some one to take the sick man s place, and as the young actor was not in the cast of the play then running his services were loaned to Miss Davenport. He was cast for the part of Caius Lucius in "Cymbeline," and the business of the part required that he should take Miss Davenport in his arms and carry her off the stage. The lady weighed considerably more than he did, and when he attempted to pick her up he found that his strength was not equal to the task. His struggles caused the audience to laugh, and that spoiled a sood scene. He was so humiliated that he left the profession after that engage ment Philadelphia Inquirer. His Board of Trade Style.

Things Once Used or Now Va& a Substl. tutes For tbe Chinese Herb. Of course every one knows tnat wo drink a good deal that isn't tea when we drink a cup of tea. We drink or are supposed to drink some tea, some lead and some straw. But there are sev eral "teas" that the drinkers know are not made of tea leaves and yet aro not adulterated. In Peru they drink mate, a tea made from the Ilex paraguensis, a species of holly. This is the only mate tea, but there is a Brazilian tea, gorgonha, call ed mate there ; another tea used in Aus tria, called Brazilian tea, and Beveral other so called mate teas are made from different varieties of the ilex. In L.ab rador they make a tea from two species of ledum. Oswego tea was made rrom the scarlet mouarda, and mountain tea from the dwarf evergreen, Gaultheria procumbens. Then clover tea and tanpy tea and catnip tea and mint tea are used, though not as beverages. In Sumatra they use coffee leaves to make tea out of, and the beverage is Baid to be very refreshing. In Mauritius the leaves of an orchid, Angroecum fragrans, are used. The Tonquinese have teas of their own, made of leaves, berries, barks and woods. The Abys sinians make tea out of the leaves of the Catha edulis. When a sentinel can t ltaun hia nnst to iret a cud of tea. be can chew a leaf or two of this plant, and he won't feel like going to sleep all night. In Tasmania there are said to be more than 200 substitutes tor tea; in England they used to make a tea of saare. betony or rosemary and of rasp berry leaves; in France they use black currant leaves and borage to make tea, and a centurv or so ago they gathered in English gardens and fields ash, elder and sloe leaves, and the leaves oi wniie thorn and blackthorn, out of which to make tea. So it is evident that there are teas and teas. New York Sun. Animals' Fright Is Short. A aue6tion that has often been asked is. How Ions: does fright last in a wild creature?
