To the afflicted:
several years ago l discovered a
slight falling and bleeding ol the lower ;
hou el which inci eased 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 I
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
Killek. I used it. Immediate relief I
from pain followed, and soon a com
plete cure was affected.

came to m division, though I was
very loth to relieve Colonel Greusel of
the Thirty-sixth Illinois, who had al
ready indicated much military skill
and bravery, and at the battle ot
Perryville had handled his men with
the experience of a veteran.' Colonel
Greusel, like General .Sneiidan, was
cool as a cucumber' in a battle and.
also like him, was friendly and so
ciable with his men, and very lenient
in regard to violation of red tape'
orders or rules, and very strict in re

It is said that 'earth hath one joj

entitled to of that exceptional joy, if
thereby there would be no needy and
suffering people, just as we would all
gladly give up the 'glory' and 'fame,'
knowing that 'glory is a hollow sound
and fame is but an empty name,' it
we could only see the time when peo

humanity, civilization and Chris

or the more gigantic evils that cause
it, should never curse the human race.

W. A. Boeck of Auburn bas in
vented a revolving store shelf that is
one of the best things of the kind for
stores that are crowded for shelf room
that ever was introduced, and is bound
to meet w ith popular favor. He re
ceived notice last week that his patent
was granted.
The shelf is so arranged that it can
be worked from the floor and obviates
the old style of ladders to get down
shoe3 besond the reach of clerks, be
sides twice the amount of shelf room
is afforded. The shelves are fastened
to continuous chains and revolve with
out disturbing the contents of the
shelves iu the least. The shelves are
made any height, simply by adding
links to the continuous chain, and
when in position any shelf can be
brought within reach by pulling on the
shelves and making them revolve.
Mr. Boeck bas not yet decided upon
the manufacture of the same, but is in
corresponnence with foundries and
will probably have some on the market
soon.
It is reported that several employes
of the B. & M. shops here have been

There is at present running in Mc

features are the illustrations.
The oldest inhabitant never remem
bers such a winter as the present. It
is seldom that winter eomes to Ne

like the present one, and it is such a
winter as we should appreciate. Dur

years much poverty has obtained in
the land and the open winter is to the
poor a blessing. Truly "The Lord
tempers the wind to the shorn lamb."
The transferring of Itev. Frank
Crane from Omaha to Chicago means
that the sensation center of the coun

Omaha has been marked by episodes
of this character. In other words.
