There is a counterfeit dime in circu
lation in Omaha that is an exception
ally deceptive piece of work. It is of
the new design, dated 1895, with the
"S" to show that it was coined at the
San Francisco mint. The printing
and milling are perfect, the color and
weight the same as a genuine coin and
the only way the bogus article can be
detected is by the ring, when it shows
that there is little silver in its make
up. California farmers in a dozen coun
ties have become very eager during
the last few weeks to try tobacco
growing. A story of some highly suc
cessful and remunerative experiments
made by a i aimer in Santa Clara
cou !i' y was printed several weeks ago,
and since then the state board of trade
has had dozens of letters of inquiry
and requests for seed from farmers
all over the state. They will be sup
plied with seed and it is thought to
bacco culture will soon be an import

One of the most singular suits ever
recorded is that against Holmes, tte
murderer, who is to be executed to
morrow at Philadelphia. It was at
the instigation of the attorneys for
Mrs. Pitzel, who had him arrested in
an effort to make him return the
money out of which he had defrauded
her. Holmes has several times spoken
of the frauds he perpetrated upon
Mrs. Pitzel, and has declared that
he has made amends in his will. liy
the arrest they hope to get out an at
tachment before the great criminal is
shuttled off.
When Howe, the Iowa embezzler, es
caped to Mexico and took out citizen
ship papers in that country to avoid
arrest, he was at the instant credited
with great shrewdness. But as a citi
zen of Mexico the courts there decided
he could not escape punishment for his
crime so easily, and, after finding him
guilty, treated him as a citizen of that
country in earnest and sentenced him
to twelve years in the penitentiary, all
of which has a double moral: It is
not good to renounce your American
citizenship; and Mexico can teach us
something about justice, as well as
about some other things. World-Herald.

With its usual accompanying moral:
Her eyes were wild her face was
tlushed! "Oh, cruel one," she cried.
"I have borne with you too long!
You have injured the very foundation
of my being! When we Orst met your
ease and polish attracted me! Now
your understanding is too small for
my soul ! You have ruined my stand
ing in society ! You are opposed to
my advancing myself ! Had we never
met I might have walked in peace !
So now begone ! We part forever !"

breathing, a gritting of teeth, a sharp

Wliy ot Knjoy a (iootl smoke?
It is said that a man thinks most
when enjoying a good smoke. Some
of the brightest expressions were
formulated while watching the clouds
of smoke from a genuine Havana
cigar. Why smoke a cheap, tenement
house, Chinese-made cigar, when, for
about the same amount of money, you
can buy a genuine, hand-made Ha
vana cigar, made of good, pure to
bacco, and by honest American labor ?
We refer to Herman Spies' celebrated
''Exqulsitos," the best nickel cigar
ever put on the market. You don't
have to run all over town to find a
merchant who sells "Exquisitos"
thev all sell them. Why? Because
they are the best sellers, and give the
i;est satisfaction.

Of wheels and piston-rods was stilled
With clammy food his stomach filled.

He dragged himself (he could not run t
Toward the spot that ought to hold

With pie and cake and meat and bread.

And lyibies sweet as morning dew :

With scarce a trouser to their name.

Alas ! he knew the cause full well.

Secretary It. II. Townlev has just
completed the report to the state bank
ing board of the condition of the state
and private banks of the state of Ne
braska as shown by the statements
made by the banks at close of business
on March 29. This report, while it
shows a decrease in the number of
banks in the state from 417 to 441 since
December, 189o, is said by the officials
of the banking board to show a better
general condition than for several
years. The legal ieserve which banks
are required to carry is fifteen per
cent. This report shows that the av
erage reserve at present is thirty
two per cent. This item has been
increa.sed from twenty-eight per
cent in December last, with which
report other comparisons are made.
The last report shows a decrease
in bills payable and rediscounts,
and a . decrease in the expendi
tures since December. The last item
would show that there has been neces
sarily an increase in the profits of the
hanking business during the three
mouths last past. The loans and dis
counts have decreased about 82,090,
099 and the deposits about $490. OoO.
The decrease in deposits has brought
this liability down to such a figure
that with the cash reserve on hand it
could be met and paid off if only about
60 per cent on the face value was
realized on the loans and discounts.
This is said to indicate that the banks
of the state are in better condition for
meeting sudden demands than ever
before.

very distressing. I made inquiry as
tothe nature of the disease aud 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. Xot being satisfied with
such slight relief I cast about for a per

the use of the famous Magnet Pile

from pain followed, and soon a com
