-aw As the protecting angel of the peo ple of Nebraska, the Journal feels it to be a matter of duty to continue to expose the oily tongued strangers who frequent the hedges and highways, seeking whom they may devour. The other day a man with a sorrowful face went into Schuyler and solicited aid for a Mrs. , Murphy, who had been burned out. The large hearted editor of the bun chipped in a few dollars, and several other fellows did thusame, and then it occurred to somebody to ask who Mrs. Murphy was, and how she hRDDened to be burned out. It PERSONAL, POLITICAL AND PERTINENT. D. C. West. ..in gooii-lnokinK banker, went to Union Tuesday afternoon, where he took Hie train for - Platts-1 mouth to attend the Masonic lodge. Returning on the late train hedroppd asleep and woke up as the train pulltd into Murray. Thinking he had reached Union, he hurried out of the coach and stepped down on the depot platform, where he rubbed his eyes a few times before it dawned upon his mind what a mistake he had made. He then sought a secluded spot back time at the rate of 1.200,000 bushels a week, it is reported, or nearly ten times as much as was exported last year, and more than double the ex ports of 1892 and 1891. Europe has been slow to learn the value of Indian corn, but is beginning to have a better knowledge of one of nature's finest productions.

The electric belt fakirs are making more money in Nebraska than are the lawyers It is a caution how people who are too poor to subscribe for the home paper or chip in for the support of the heathen will rake up the neces sary cash when a fakir comes along. A careful study of the electric belt scheme and its victims leads to the conclusion that nine men in ten need guardians. Walt Mason in State Jour nal. The republicans of Otoe county are in a panic and have importeu con gressman fetroae to see it uiey can stem the tide of democratic votes that promises to overwhelm them. Surprised the Pastor. The members and friends of t he I Baptist church met as a surprise at the residence of Rev. A- II. Post, Chi cago avenue, last Thursday for a pound sociable. Kind remembrances f life's 'necessities showed the practical appre ciation of the sacrificing effort Rev. Post is making to establish the work of the Lord in South Park. A faith ful few are doing all they can to aid this noble enterprise. Now is the time for every friend of the Baptist church iu the city and surrounding country to rally and give practical help. In the good old days of M. Blanc, writes George R. Sims, it was the cus tom at Monte Carlo .directlv a suicide was found to stuff nis pockets full of bank notes. This was done to prove that his losses at play were not the cause ot his hurried departure from this world. The last person who re ceived this generous treatment was an American. lie was found lying in one ot tue alleys or the beautnul grounds with an empty bottle labeled agents of the bold Blanc instantly stuffed his pockets full of gold and notes, preparatory to giving informa tion to the police. No sooner had they stuffed him as full of lucre as be could hold than the suicide leaped to his feet, raised his hat, exclaiming. "thank you very much!" and went off to enjoy himself with his newly acquired wealth. The M unlock Columbian has broken over the republican party traces and nas deued tue party whip, it gives a strong endorsement of William D. Wheeler and Jacob Tritsch. The army olllcials.it was said, are to make experiments with condensed soup, concentrated hash and couee lozengers. Compressed meats already are a success, and if the other schemes be made to work, a soldier may carry a week's rations in his hip pocket.

The other day we saw a photograph of a circular birn, erected by McKay Bros., on their farm near Traer, Iowa. It is 92 feet in diameter, 29 feet high. The storing capacity or the barn is nearly 175 tons of hay, and there is a silo in the center with a capacity of about 174Mons of ensilage. In the basement tJiere is stall room for 95 . . . . . . head of cattle, ine horse stable is above the basement. The owners claim that for convenience and utility of all the space there is nothing they have seen that better meets the re quirements than the round barn. Ex. A I'" i m i n Meteor. At about 7:30 last evening a meteor of enormous size fell within a short distance of Fremont. It came with a whizzing sound in the northwestern heawns and the llame that followed it lit tlm sky for an instant almost as licht as day. When near the earth, the ball exploded and the report was heard distinctly in Fremont. As the meteor burst, a beautiful display of fireworks was discernible. Anv one who missed the sight lost the chance of a lifetime f steine an immense natural display of firewoiks. Fremont Herald. TU Ever Ihn. The .Iouusal scribe, by some over- sitiht tn the part of Providence, ob tained possession of a five-dollar bill yeieiday. Upon examining it with some natural curiosity, the writer was surprised to find the following, in very minute, but legible, handwriting, on one corner of the bill: 'THE IH'DE'S SOLILOQUY. "Billy, Billy, from me you go, Through this republic grand to flow; "Through this land or care and woe, Leaving me broke or nearly ho." Those llloouaers. A Lincoln scDool teacher, whose doctor ordered her to take more exer cise, bought a bicycle. She also bought, a pair of bloomers to fit the wheel and appeared in them at school one day. the superintendent was very much shocked and told her never to do it again. The papers have taken the matter up and quite a discussion is being waged. The Press this morning published a letter from A. M. llussell, a jack leg lawyer, to Dr. O. M. Huestis. a pro hibition aspirant for office, who is a rank republican at heart, in which this pettifogger undertakes to work off his bile on Judge Ramsey. In Cass county the papers refuse to publish the rot, owing to the source from which, it originated and the unrelia bility of the author. Nebraska City News. The News is partly mistaken. The Weeping Water Republican whose editor always votes the ticket straight, published the letter. The flower committee draped the chair of Deacon Wise tor the com munion services last Lord's day, and hung over the black a cluster of palm leaves and a most exquisite bunch of white carnations. - The palms fitly symbolize the victory the old soldier of Henry Hempel, the populist candi- the cross had won, and the fair flowers date for county commissioner, wants it understood that he is making a Gght for himself and nobody else. No com bination in his, with republican or democrat. testified of a life that was pure beautiful. Kansas City Star. and The Lincoln Journal says that "the B. & M. road is planning a park to cover an entire .block of ground south of their depot at Havelock. Nothing but the surveys will be attended to this fall and probably preparatory plowing for the trees and shrubs to be placed in next spring.

The gentleman lives at Red Cloud and is on the. road constantly in the inter ests of his society.

He gives the Plattsmouth lodge great credit, saying that the members are better up in the routine work than almost any lodge in the state. A Prominent Wholesale Orocer of Omaha Js'eb., Writ en: To the afflicted: Several years ago I discovered a slight falling and bleedingof thelower bowel which increased and became very distressing. I made inquiry as tothe 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, Oscar Allen. For sale by Geriug & Co. Night and Day to Supply DemaD; C.

O I Buv A statement has just been given out by the treasury department to the ef fect that it now holds of silverbullion, purchased under the ''Sherman act." 137,644,000 fine ounces, the cost of which was $124,080,323. The coining value of this bullion in silver dollars is $178,964,000. If this bullion was coined into silver dollars the profit to the government on its coinage would be nearly $54,000,000, which sum could be paid out for the ordinary expenses of the government, or silver certifi cates could be issued against it. The total coinage of silver under all acts amounts to $423,289,309. Sheriffs Sale.

Some thief stole two cows at Syra cuse Tuesday night last and drove or led them as far as SpriDgfield, thirty-five miles, by the next morning, where they were found Thursday. The owners of the cows were at Louis ville last Friday, enroute to Spring field to recover their property. The thief had made his escape. A mob at Tiffin, Ohio, undertook to lynch a murderer confined in the jail at that place, but were met at the jail by the sheriff and a posse, who resisted and killed two of the mob. M. S.
