Dr. Salmon, the chief of the bureau of animal industry, has presented to the secretary a brief statement as to the prices in the Chir cago market of dressed beef and ship ping steers since January 1, 1S95. The The statement showes the extremes of prices for this class of cattle to have been for January, J4.00 to 15.25; for February 4.10 to $5.50; for March $4.60 to $0.20; for April (first half) $4.75 to $6.00. Commenting on these figures Dr. Salman says: "These prices show that cattle on foot are approaching paying figures for growers and feeders. But they do not warrant any such sen setional rise in the price of dressed beef tering such of the retail dealers in meat toconsum ers. A normal rise in the wholesale price of dressed beef and in the retail prices should be only in proportion to the rise Indicated for Leef on foot." Tbo world about look cheerful.

Platte. The company says the town is of an insignificant character and is within two miles of Oreapolis, which is of easT access to the inhabitants of La l'latte. The road says it will open the station when public interest de mands. The fact that Wm. J. Bryan de livered a religious discourse in a church at Omaha on Sunday last, on "The Immortality of the Soul," seems to have struck the News man as a rare occasion to sneer at him. The fact is, ! it is not the first occasion of the kind by any means. He made an address before the Brotherhood of St. Andrew at the Eastern Presbyterian church In Washington, last summer, from the text, "And the Common People Heard Him Gladly."

The enormous growth in the bicycle ! business in recent years is indicated! by the fact that whereas the total number of bicycle manufactories in the United States was but six in ISSo, with an output of only 11,000 wheels, and in 1890 but seventeen, with an out put of 40,000, at the present time there are 126 factories, which will make an aggregate of nearly or quite half a million machines this year. The chorus club of the Thurston Rifles have postponed their tripHo this city until next week, when they will give a musical entertainment at White's opera house. The date and program will appear later. In referring to the manner in which visitors were entertained at the dis trict declamatory contest in this city last week, the Weeping Water Repub lican says: "The visitors all speak in the highest praise of the courtesy and attention of the people of Plattsmouth. There was nothing left undone to in sure th6 comfort and convenience of all visitors, all of whom, had they notified the committee of their com ing, would have been entertained by the generous hosts. Plans had been made to take visitors over the town, through the shops, and across the river, but these plans were spoiled by the rain. The attention of the High School and citizens of Plattsmouth, this year, stand out in striking con trast to the colossal indifference of Beatrice last year." C. H. Parmele planted a small patch of alfalfa cn some of his land near Cullom last May and on examination yesterday found that the plants had grown very nicely, the roots extend ing some eighteen inches in the ground in one years growth. Being such a dry season, it was not expected that the first year's growth would be so favorable. Mr. Parmele has con eluded to plant one hundred acres this spring and has already purchased the seed for the purpose, the same costing him $5 per bushel. Mr. Parmele is the first one The Journal has heard of who will plant alfalfa this year on such a large scale. OE At the Old Stand Again, Waterman Block, Wliere iECe ZE3Ia-s Opened, a.

Aud having spoken In this strain, I went and bought a cow, she had a soft and loving eye, a lofty. thoughtful brow; she was a mournful orphan cow, a creature calm and tnild; the man who sold her said that she was gentle as a child. I said, tonight we'll have some milk as pure as milk can be; and then I took the pail and went to milk her, merilt e. That gentle creature humDed herself and kicked me through the roof, and left upon .my classic brow her trademark with her hoaf: she causht me on her crescent horns and tossed me o'er a tree, and then came round to where I lay, and calmly sat on ui? ; he danced a polka on my chest and jibbed in with her horn, until I wished, like Job, that 1 had never once been born. My neigh bors picked my pieces up when that old cow was gone; they put in splints my busted back aud glt.ed my forehead on; they riveted my shoulderblades, and nailed my collar bone, and fixed me up in such a shape that I could walk alone; and I toddled off in haste though feeling pretty sick, to get the milk the milkman brines from some where down the creek.

Ed Mann and Frank McFadden armed themselves with fishing tackle yesterday and drove up to Clark's lake, some four miles northeast of La Platte, in Sarpy county, where they angled for several hours with very fair success. When they returned to the buggy to start home it was found that Ed's new tailor-made coat and vest and the lap-robe and whip had been stolen, and with the coat went a purse containing some $2 and a fine, the same belonging to McFadden that had been stored in the coat for safe keep ing. Some miscreant had quietly ran sacked the whole buggy for spoil, al though the anglers were but a short distance off from the bugpy the whole afternoon. The loys have reported the theft to the sheriff of Sarpy county While searching about the other day among his papers. Clothier C, E.
