0 i FARMS AND FACTOUlt9. COMMISSIONERS' PROCEEDINGS. IN AND AROUND THE TOWN. v i The true valuation of the United States in 1890, according to census bul letin 379, was $05,037,091,197, of which $39,554,333 represents real estate and improvements thereon and $25,492, 546,8G4 personal property, including railroads, mines and quarries. The livestock on farms, farm Implements and machinery stand for $2,703 015,040; mines and quarries, $1,291 ,291, 579; gold and silver coin and bullion, f 1,158,774, 948; machinery of mills and product, $3,058,593,441; railroads and equipment, including stre t railroads, $3,6S5,407, 323; telegraphs, telephones, shipping and canals,$701,755,712; miscellaneous, $7,S93,703,S21. These figures are instructive in re gard to certain matters now under dis cussion, the tariff, bimetallism, etc. The manufacturing interest, which makes so much noise and perverts our tariffs in a spirit of greed, only amounts to about one-eighth of our total inter ests, including unprotected along with the small number of our protected in dustries. The value of the farms of the country, according to bulletin 378, was $ 134279 .252,649. Adding the value of farm implements and machinery, $4944247,467. and live stock, $2,208, 767 ,573, we find the total far mi i g in terest in 1S90 was over 516,000,000 000, or about twice the whole manufactur ing interest. Taking S16,000,000,000 as indicating roughly the capital invested by farmers in tbair industry, it is interesting to note that the total value of farm pro ducts in 1S90 was but $2,460,107,454, while the $6,138,716,604 invested in manufactures produced products valued at $9,054,535,337. The farmers, it thus appears, on a capital nearly three times that ef the manufacturers, get a product worth under one-third of that of the manufacturer. The dispropor tion is excessive. The profits of the manufacturer may not be what he would like them, but they are vastly larger than the farmer's and the manufacturer can no longer decently ask the farmer to "protect" him. Ex-Sfeakek Reed was fairly and parlimentarily flattened beyond recog nition in the house Wednesday. No more discomfited leader ever collapsed in that body. His assertion that Ding ley had addressed the chair before the beginning of the roll-call and bis sub sequent contention that if Dingley had not addressed the chair he was ready to address the chair, was almost as pitiable as it was amusing. For once Mr. Reed lost his head, and the more he attempted to recover it the more "rattled'' be became. The United States senate demands expedition in others, but reserves eternity for its own actirn. It has passed a resolution calling upon Secre tary Morton to furnish, within three days, certain information which it sought of him six weeks ago. Now, if it will pass a resolution calling upon it self to take, within three weeks, action upon the tariff which the country in structed it to take a year and a half ago, it will at least assume a semblance of consistency. Cheap Coal. The best hard coal at $10.00 and Mendota soft coal at 84.25 per tor Delivered to all pirts of the city. Leave orders with 8-tf Waterman & Son. Remarkable the low prices offered by Gering & Co., on wall paper, paints and oils. Some days ago Senator Manderson introduced an amendment to increase the limit of cost of construction of buildings at Fort Crook, near Omaha, Neb., from $500,000 to $750,000. The former amount, which was the original cost of the post, has been nearly ex pended. It is expected that the new Fort Omaha will cost, when completed, nearly a million and a half of dollars, and in order to secure the legal ex penditure of this sum the limit of the estimates must be increased by act of congress. The committee on military affairs have reported favorably upon the amendment, which Senator Man derson will now attempt to add to the sundry civil bill. Dr. Marshall, DENTIST Fitzger ald block.

A dispatch from Fremont in yester day's World-Herald reads: "The report that Mrs. J. W. Love had dird with the same disease which carried away her husband December 21, 1893, proved erroneous. She was taken sick one week ago with a severe pain in her bead. Friday night there was an in ternal hemorrhage and discbarge from the ears, the pain increasing in se verity until she became unconscious yesterday tnornin,?. in which condi tion she has since remained. Last evening Dr. Bridges of Omaha held a consultation with Drs. Smith and Mc Donald, and pronounced the disease cerebrospinal meningitis."

These plays are popular and full of fun from start to Gnish. Come and enjoy a good laugh. Admission 25 cents, children 15 cents. WHAT! SPRING? Yes, spring Is here, and I must say to you that if you fail to see my stock of wall paper and room tnuuld ins before you buy. you will surely regret it when you see my paper. Owing to the extremely hard times I think it is wise to reduce the price of paper and place it in reach of everyone. You should not over look the fact that if you would in vest a few cents in room moulding it will add fifty per cent, to the appear ance of your rooms. Remember the place for low prices BROWN'S PHARMACY, DRUGS. 510 Mais Street. This ad changes each week. When such partisan republican or gans as the Herald and News acknow ledge the elecion of Mr. Tutt to the council from the Fifth wsrd, it seems as if the republican majority in the city council which seated Mr. Hawk ins, was a trille too hasty. Mr. Hawk ins stands an excellent chance, if there is justice in the courts, of learn ing that might and a partisan majority do not make right. Beware of the so-called professors and remember that Gering & Co., sell spectacles and guarantee a fit. See Brown and save money this year on your wall paper, paints and oils. WANTED.
