Oar Messengers Wanderings. Kim oal, June 12, 1896, Special to the Independent: Kimball, the county seat of Kimball county, was reacbeed in my regular round on the afternoon of the 10th inst. This county is at the present time politically in the hands of the pops and is inii very good condition financially, and with a few years of economic management such as the present board of commissioners are exercising the county will be in a very prosperous condition so far as her finan ces are concerned. A large number of her oeople have learned the very valu uable lesson that cattle, horse and sheep farming is the one thing which can be done successfully and with profit in this Dart of the state. We met and became acquainted with most of the county of ficers of this county and quite a number of her farmers and business men and can say in this connection that their treat ment of me was cordial, courteous ana eentlemanly. Having finished my work at Kimball. I left for Harrisburg, the county seat of Banner county in company with a Mr, A. S. Alexander of that county who, by the way. is one of the best posted men along the lines of reform that I met while in the west. He is fully conversant with all the questions which . are now agitating the public and is a firm be liever in the maxim of the survival of the fittest, he is an original and life long re former and hopes to live to see the day dawn of the realization of his fondest hope in the restoration of the great American idea of patriotic devotion to the best interests ot our republic. Reaching Harrisburg on the morning of the 12t inst we found a little city nestling at the foot of the high lands in a sort of valley. This place is the county seat of Banner county as above stated and centrally located and like most of the towns in this section of the state, is at a stand still. We visited the court house aud met most of the county of ficers and can say for them generally that they appear to be very clever gen tlemen, and while the county financially, is not in a first. class condition which is largely due to the fact of the crop fail ure of the past three years, yet the peo ple have hopes for the future. "Hope is the buoy which stimulates the human mind to action in the face of almost in surmountable difficulties." To the north of Harrisburg about eight miles can be seen the heavy and rugged tops of the Wild Cat mountains towering skyward to an altitude of 700 to 800 feet above the surrounding val ley with their sides and tops covered with a growth of pine and fir trees. On our journey to the north on our way to Gering, the county seat of Scotts Blnffs county, we pass to the east of the Wild Cat mountains at the east end of which lies the valley of Ashford consist ing of a few scattered houses. Thin place is on the Pumpkin Seed creek, the water of which is, utilized for irrigation pur poses etc. A short distance from Ash ford we begin the assent of what is known in this section of the state as the divide mountains which cover a distance of at least eight miles and are in many respects very attractive to the traveler. These mountains are covered with a growth of pine and fir trees, and occa sionally a few cottonwood, maple and boxelder are found. They also furnish good grazing for cattla and horses. Coming to the north side of these moun tains and at the highest point over which the road lay, we got a glimpse of Gering about eight miles in the distance. In thecourse of time and after a very cir cuituous route we reached the valley on the north of the mountains, at a dis tance of five miles south from Gering. This place is situated on the south side of the North Platte at a distance of one and one-half miles and at the east end of which is known as Scotts Bluffs. This blufforrange of bluffs rise to a distance of 750 feet above the Platte river and are grand to behold. Dome rock, one of its most important foatures rises some what higher than its neighbors and has a great striking resemblance to a dome on some public building, very similar to the dome on the cnpitol at Washington. Gering is the only county seat town in the western part of the state which is doing anything in the way of building, however she has advantages over her neighbors notwithstanding tho fact that she is nearly sixty miles from railroad. She has a rich valley in places ten to twelve miles wide which is watered by a system of ditches the completion of which will cause her wide acres to yield a rich aud abundant harvest, and with a railroad this valley will realize her most extravagant hopes and her future pros perity will be Jassured. Gering is well built and her businessmen are doing a profitable business and her citizens are prosperous and happy. J. M. p. Words of Greeting.

Editor Independent: I an en route with my two motherless daughters from Apelousas, La., to Braidentown, Fla., ray new home and field of labor. From that place I was recalled by telegram on June 4th, but arrived too late. My wife, well known to very many citizens of Ne braska and Kansas, died on that day in the 55thyear of her age. She will be re membered by many for her earnest and faithful Christian service and for her con stant faith aud love toward God, and ucwoaned efforts for others in numerous home mission fields. Her children rise up and call her blessed. She left behind to mourn her death with her husband the following children: George A.

Griffes, who, with their father, return to Florida. J as. A Griffes. Almost Paralyzed. INTENSE SUFFERING , FOB TEABS The Remarkable Testimony of a Husband and Wife to the Virtues of Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. From the Ware, Odell, Nebraska, A reporter of the Wave, having heard of the great faitn Mr. and Mrs. I. U. Brace of Odell, Nebraska, have in the curative qualities of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, determined to see the parties in person and ascertain the truth of the reports. With that purpose in view a drive was taken to their fine farm a few miles west of town, where Mrs. Brace was found busily engaged in assisting her husband make wire fence. No doubt noticing our surprise, she apologized, saying, that the children were old euouirn to be ot mucn help with the house work, and she thus bad time to assist her nusbanrl, wblcn not only gave her pleasure, but at the same time saved the wages that would otherwise go to pay hired help. "But is it possible that you have re covered so as to do work requiring the constant use of your arms, without suf fering?" asked the reporter. This question elicited the following wonderful story: "I do not wonder that you are surprised, said Mrs. Brace, "for, as everyone in this vicinity knows, for several years 1 was nearly crippled, and suffered constantly from rheumatism When I first felt the attack I got medi cine from a local physician, but instead of getting better I grew worse until I suf fered intense agony, which no one who has not had the dread disease can under stand. In hopes of relief, leading physi cians in other towns were consulted, and they all agreed in pronouncing it a se vere case of muscular rheumatism, and, as their prescriptions were taken month after month without beneficial results, they ceased to give encouragement and said that I was gradually becoming par alyzed. "I had by that time become so crippled that I had to give up all work, and the only way I could carry my right arm was in an upright position. Any at tempt to lower it caused excruciating pain. Constant suffering caused general debility, and life seemed too great a bur den to bear. It is said a drowning man will catch at a straw, and so ft was in my case as I read a testimonial in a newspaper I happened to pick up, of a case similar to mine which had been cured by Pink Pills for Pale People and I determined to give them a trial. "I admit my faith was weak, for I had always been prejudiced against so-called patent medicines, but by the time I bad taken three boxes the relief was so appar rent that 1 determined to continue their use. In a few weeks my general health improved, and I could move my arm without difficulty, and by the time ten boxes had beer used I felt better than I had for years, and I can now say that I am cured. I always keep the pills in the house and take a box of them every spring as a blood purifier and at any t;n.s that I take cold and fear a return of my old trouble." Continuing, Mrs. Brace said: "I give all the credit of my recovery to Dr. Wil liams' Piuk Pills for Pale People, and both my husband and I shall always be ready to speak in their praise. We tell our neighbors on every occasion of their virtues and if you think this of sufficient interest we will be glad to nave this tes timonial made public, hoping it may be of benefit to those who otherwise would be lifelong sufferers." To confirm her story beyond doubt, Mrs. Brace made the following affidavit: State of Nebraska, ) S8 County of Gage, ) Mrs. I. 0. Brace, being duly sworn on her oath, saith that the foregoing state ment is just and true. (Signed) Mrs. I. 0. Brace. Subscribed and sworn to before me, F. R.
