CJt Her Wish
Syracuse. Neb., June 13, 1896.
Editor Nebb ask a Independent: I used
to wish we might get you and your wife
interested in our state paper, but"ever
dreamed we should be able to do so. We
bare now a paper to be proud of, and one
that ranks among the reform papers as
the best. I cannot do without this pa
per. Mr. Beers, living a few miles north
of here, told me three weeks ago that he
would subscribe for it. I gave him a
bundle of reform papers, among them
three of the Independents, with the re
quest that he give them to others after
readinz them. lie said they knew noth
ing of what was going on politically, as
they took no reform papers, and I have
no doubt that farmers living miles out
in the country all over the state know
very little about the condition of the
country at this time, and might be very
easily influenced to vote our.party ticket,
We are living in interesting times and
making history fast. W hat the end will
be no one can tell. We can only hope
for the best. Ilt-spectfully,
Mrs. C. Davenport.
Ogalalla.
Ogalalla, Neb., June 1, 1806.
Special to the Independent: We
reached this village the county seat of
Keith county ou Saturday morning May
30 and found the people all in prepara
tion for the decoration cermonies to be
observed at the opera house.
The forenoon was taken up in the dec
oration services at the cemetery and
the program at the opera" house, began
at 2 p. m. the principal address was de
livered by Mr. Cadey, of St. Paul, Neb.
there were a number of very appropri
ate recitations by ladies and girls of
which were well rendered.
Ogalalla is like a great many Nebraska
towns very quiet at the present time
but her citizens are hopeful for the future,
they were visited by a refreshing rain
about 4 p. m. on decoration day which
thoroughly soaked the ground and will
add very much toward insuring a good
crop of small grain and vegetables. The
people of this little village are public
spirited and aggressive. Their churches
and schools verify this statement, all of
which are very neat and of modern con
struction. There is a very healthy and
growing sentiment in and around this
place in favor of the 16 to 1 idea and in
my judgement it is safe to predict the
defeat of any and all anti free coinage
candidatesin this county the coming elec
tion. J. M. D.

Pyramid Pile Cure Cure Piles QuU-kly,
Painlessly., Without Danger.
People go along for years suffering
with piles. They try this, and that, and
the other thing; from carrying a buck
eye to getting treatment from a physi
cian, luey obtain temporary relief,
maybe, but they are never quite cured.
A little strain in lifting, excesHivefatinue,
a little constipation or a little diarrhoea
and the piles eonie baek.
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they banish sleep and appetite. No
position is comfortable. There is intense
local pain and that dreadful feeling of
weight iu the perineum.
Maybe in the early stages some of the
many salves on sale will afford tempor
ary relief. If the case is of long standing
there is only one speedy and sure remedy.
It is Pyramid Pile Cure, hven in light
cases it is the safest thing to use. Other
applications may cure and may not.
Pyramid cure is always sure, always re
liable, always brings comfort at once.
Its prompt use saves months of severe
suffering. In extreme cases it ft ill save
surgical operations and their attendant
dangers and discomforts. It is better
than a knife. Will cure easier, quicker
and safer. Thousands bave used it.
Thousands have been cured by it. The
cost is trifling compared with what it
does. The price is fifty cents. Most any
body would gladly pay ten dollars to be
rid of piles.

The temperature of the past week was
below the normal until thelast twodayi
which were warm, bringing the average
for the week up to nearly normal in the
western portion of the state and only
about three degrees below in the eastern
portion. Light frost occurred In the
western section on the morning of the
12th.
About all the rainfall
curred on the 10th and
of the week 00
11th when rain
was general. It, however, was less than
a quarter of an inch over the eastern sec
tions, exceeded half an inch throughout
the central and the greater part of
the western sections and in a few limited
localities exceeded an inch.
The past week has been an unusually
favorable one for the agricultural inter
ests of the state. The light rainfall in
the eastern sections has allowed the cul
tivation of corn to be pushed, and small
grain has recovered somewhat from the
effects of continued heavy rains while the
heavier rainfall in the west central sec
tions came at an opportune time and
was very beneficial.
Small grain has made excellent pro
gress in all sections. Rye and wheat are
turning in the southern counties and a
few fields of winter wheat have been cut
in the southeastern corner of the state.
Oats have attained a rank growth and
are heading. The army worms are caus
ing considerable damage to few fields ot
rye and wheat but the total acreage
affected is quite small. . Grasshoppers
are also doing some damage.
Corn has generally grown somewhat
slowly the cool weather being rather un
favorable but the crop is in excellent
condition except in small sections where
it was badly washed by the severe storm

Gratis is everywhere in remarkably
fine condition and the hay crop promisee
to be heavy. The harvest of the first
crop of alfalfa is quite generally about
completed.
