W. Sherman, is among the best. Its editorials are clear, strong, and always on tbe right side. It is difficult to overestimate the iulluence for good which such a paper exerts in a country. It deserves the loyal support of those who believe that governments deiive their just powers from the consent of the gov erned and that legislation should be in the interests of all the people.

On cointr to the river Irid -y morn ing, he found that the boat had been burned to the water's edge and had sunk, the top of the engine only stick ing above water. The craft is a total loss amounting to about $100, and. in addition, a lot of blankets, mattresses, cooking uten sils, etc.. were also lost. The engine was raised and brought ashore. The boat was built a year ago last snriric, and last spring a two-horse power gasoline engine and a wheel were put on it. It lias beeu used all summer as an excursion boat, taking parties out on tishing and hunting ex- cursions. TUe boat will probably be rebuilt on different lines for next sea-.son.

Nebraska City Xews. The Lincoln Journal says that "C. J. Ernst of the Burlington land depart ment says he has received notice that the directors of the Lancaster Land company, the owners of the town ol Havelock. are preparing to erect houses for the accommodation of the seventy families of employes who now have to go to their work from Lin coln." Assistant Land Commissioner Ernst of the Burlington has received samples of giain raised this year by John D Brittell in Antelope county, show ing a wonderful yield. One sample was of mixed oats, threshing ninety-Dine bushels to the acre, machine measure, testinc thirty-seven pounds to the bushel, or equivalent to 115 bushels Der acre bv weight.

A very neat take-off on the Ilave ock pastors was made this week by a bright little miss, says the Havelock Times. She dropped the remark that the church worshippers ought to keep warm this winter, as they were well supplied with fuel. When asked to explain she answered: "Why, the Congregationalists have their Wood and the Methodists their Cobbs." An exchange says a mind reader. having demonstrated to a party of ladies, and gentlemen his ability to read a newspaper through two thick nesses of horse blanket, one of the girls left the room with the remark that she "wasn't going to stay here any longer with this calico dress on."

I made inquiry as to the nature of the disease and learned that I had a somewhat aggravated case of Hemorrhoids or Piles. Was told of several remedies and used them as di rected, obtaining thereby some tem porary relief. Not being satisfied with such slight relief I cast about for a per manent cure; when a friend directed the use of the famous Magnet Pile Killer. I used it. Immediate relief from pain followed, and soon a com plete cure was affected. Very respectfully, Oscaii Allen. For sale by Gering & Co. Ilev. William II.

The News some time ago announced that the Nebraska City starch works .had had plans prepared for doubling the capacity of their present works Just where to put the new building was what has been worrying the man agers and last w ft? K Superintendent Carl Morton and Engineer John Con ley went to Chicago to consult with Joy Morton and others, leaving the plans with him. Now we are happy to state that the question has been solved and the new building will be erected just west of the present fac tory. It will be loOxW), four stories high, and will extend from where the oflice now is up to the engine room, and will cost about $23,000. In order to get iteam power for this addition another battery of boilers will be ad ded. This addition was made necessary because the Argo Manufacturing Co was unable to fill the orders received, their goods having gained such a rep utation that all wanted to sell them This speaks volumes for a manufactory that has been established but three or four years, and no doubt it will con tinue to grow. Work on the addition will be com menced immediately and pushed to completion as fast as possible, and it is intended that the factory will not shut down a single day while the building is being erected and connec tions made. The feast of Mondamin was splendid I guess; it was billed at $10 a head; I hadn't ten dollars to throw at the birds, so I stuffed my fat carcass with bread. I remained at my home with tbe frau and the kid, eating bread and red herrings and cheese, a sirloin ot codfish some hen fruit and milk, and various viands like these. The feast of Mondamin was splendid, I guess. for dudes who are living in style, whose daddies have kindly crossed over the range, and left them a beautiful pile; its easy to squander the wealth that you get, at some old rich codger's bequest, but the wealth that you get by the sweat of your brow you will keep right inside of your vest. If the friends of Mondamin will get up a feast of turnips and bacon and slaw, I'll cough up my twenty-five cents at the door, and wonders perform with my jaw. Wa!t Mason. The two-beaded calf has ceased to be a matter of much curiosity as a freak of nature: consequently pro gressive Nebraska has introduced the two-headed snake. It is a product of Thurston county and made its appear ance about three weeks ago in that much agitated district of country called the Omaha Indian reservation. The snake was captured by an Indian and is now in the possession of W. F. Diddock. It is alive, active, perfectly formed and is a complete snake, ex cept it is a little overdone, having two heads, each on a neck about four inches long. It acts in all respects like two snakes. In the management of tbe body the two heads seem to act as one and there seems to be perfect harmony.
