Corn ia king and alfalfa is queen,
and side by side they shall sit upon
their royal throne in Nebraska. The

Never in the history of this or any
other state were meUns, tomatoes and
fruits and vegetables of all kinds as
cheap at this time of year. The whole

The Rockefellers never cared much
about showing off to the public. The

A whip-poor-will this morning flew
against the wire in front of Schwake's

captured and put in a box and was on
exhibition today. Although there are
quite a number of these birds around

It is related that the Prince of Wales
acquired the habit of smoking from

A man told us the other day that his
corn was filling out at the end of the
ears so fast the grains were being I
shoved off the end of the cob, and that
he could not buy hogs enough to eat up
the corn that was going to waste by
falling off the cob. Another man was
complaining because so many ears
crossed each other, and, when the
wind blew, it created a sawing motion
grinding meal faster than his chickens,
turkeys and ducks could eat it.
Another man says the corn is more
modest than he ever saw it before, be
cause it hangs down as though it was
ashamed to look up. Now, we do not
vouch for any of the above stories, but
merely jot them down to show our
readers how our farmers feel about the
great corn crop of 1S95. Nebraska

The lovers of the weed can take com

One of the attractive features of the
coming state fair will be the alfalfa
palace, which is just being completed.
The building which will contain the
exhibit of this comparatively new in

two stories in hight and ornamented
with a tower. The palace will be lo
cated near the alfalfa farm anp
not far from the fisheries building.
The building will be canstructed
chiefly of steel and iron, and will be
thatched with alfalfa. Eight cars of
this product will be nsed for thatching
purposes. One car has been sent by

A Lincoln man tells of a farmer near
Deweese who anticipated the partial
drouth of this year and last spring con
ceived a plan by which to plant and
grow hiscropindependentof uncertain
rainfall. He first bored a well, then
put up a good strong windmill and
constructed a large pond from which
to irrigate the land below, when he
bad decided to plant his crop. Then
he prepared his ground, about three
acres in all, and planted it to onions.
The drouth came, but in nothing
daunted, he regularly turned the water
of the pond upon his field of onions.
A few days ago, off the three acres, he
harvested the enormous crop of 3,000
bushels. Lincoln Journal.
If the bolters are representative
democrats, who do they represent? No
democratic convention elected them.
TnE convention of Nebraska bolt
ing democrats is to be held this week
at Lincoln. The republican press is
giving it all possible encouragement.
It is a mistake about anybody going
from Plattsmouth to the bolters' con
vention today. They went up to meet
with Dr. George L. Miller a Cleve
land office-holder.
The Elmwood people have made the
date for their fair the same as for that
named by the Cass County society.
This is unfortunate for both societies,
as it will prevent many people from
attending both.
The call for the democratic county
convention is elsewhere published.
The date should not be forgotten
Wednesday, September 23 and the
place, Plattsmouth. It occurs during
the county fair.
Tiik contention for place among the
republican candidates is so hot that it
will be impossible to reconcile differ-
ences. For instance, when the bosses
have beaten Swearinsren. as it is on th
program to do, will Brick's friends lie
down quietly?
The Lincoln Journal and all the
other republican oreans are doincr
everything possible to advertise and
assist in making a success of the demo
cratic bolting convention at Lincoln
even to publishing letters from Wash

sense know what that means. They
want to continue to fool the people.

If one believed the reports the re
publicans give of the conduct of each
side in the late primaries they must be
a rotten set. One story goes that a
very prominent citizen of the precinct
was detected in the effort to place two
ballots in the box. Other reports tell
how that nnmerous men who are not
republicans were induced to participate
in the primary. Each party is estopped
from complaining on the other because
they know there is evidence against
them. It is a low state of political
morals that will bring about such re
sults.

Several years ago I discovered a

very distressing. I made inquiry as
tothe nature of the disease and learned
that I had a some what aggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Files. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem

such slight relief 1 cast about for a per
