THE NEBRASKA INDEPEDENT Jan 2S 1897 HI 1$ 1 i 2b 1 GIRAFFES BECOMING EXTINCT. Kerlr All tb South African Antplop Alio i'.-mnl ig Hnr. An article by Mr. Bryden says that the days of the giraffe are numbered. A. few years ajjo a herd of seventy or eighty of them was often met in va iious parts of Africa. Mr. Bryaen eays that nineteen pirafTea are now a larjre herd. They have been hunted bo mercilessly, both by natives and foreign sportsmen, that they are rap idly becoming extinct The intelligent African Km? Khama has, however, taken the giraife under his protection and hopos to save it from extermination. He has forbidden the hunting of the en-alte in his large domain, and in this way he hopes thoy will multiply in his country. It is an Interesting fact that Russia has pre served the European bison from ex tinction by setting apart a forest of Lithuania for them and permitting no one to molest them. Recent explorers in southwest AfrL ca eay that the fauna has changed greatly during the last forty years. Dr. Henry Slichter, in a paper he road before the British association a few weeks ago, says that antelopes, lions, buffaloes, rhinoceri. giraffes and oth er large animals whore mot with in abundance when the country was lirst explored are no longer to be found in any part of the southwest Africa on account of their ceaseless slaughter by European hunters, as well as by the natives since the latter have possessed breech-loading guns. The mot im portant among these animals, the ele phant, has wholly disappeared from this part of Africa except in the neigh borhood of Lake JJgainL Anderson, one of the early explorers of this region, said that 1,200 pounds of ivory could be bought at Lake Ngami for a musket According to Livingstone, in threo years not less than nine hundred elephants were killed near the little Zonga river alone. How much their number has diminished is shown by the very small ivory export from Wallish bay, which amounts to about fifteen hundred pounds per annum, while In 1875 it was as high as 37,000 poands. The various kinds of animals would doubt less increase again if some protective measures were taken in their behalf, but thore are not many Kahamas among the important men of Africa who have sufficient foresight to en deavor in the interests of their own people to prevent the extermination of these valuable animals. LABOR NOTES. The anticipated strike of the brick layers and hodcarrlers of Cincinnati has been averted. The National Tin Plate company, An derson, Ind., attempted to substitute piece work for day wages, and thirty five tinners walked out. Two years ago the Wabash railway made a sweeping ten per cent reduc tion in the wages of all its employes, Recently, without the leart premoni tion or demand, an order was issued restoring the. former wageu. Cincinnati clgarmakers are gleeful .over the outlook for a busy season in their trade. The indications are that the factories will be running full force, with plenty of work for all union ci garmakers in the city. The Great Western Pottery vorks at Kokomo, Ind., are again in operation after a long idle period during the strike in the East. All the potters are again at work on the terms proposed by the company, the reduction of wages in some departments being quite marked. A dispatch from Lorain, O., says: An effort is being made to secure the lo cation of a big electric motor works ' in this citv. which will employ S25 men. Johnstown is also trying to se cure the enterprise, but the chances are largely in Lorain's favor. Tom L Johnson and his brother, Albert John son, are said to be interested In the motor works. There are rumblings of a coming strike on the Metropolitan elevated railway. Chicago. Although the road it is said, paid 34 per cent during 1S05 on the investment the motormen aud conductors are paid only $30 and $10 a month, out of which the latter must purchase their own uniforms. Their demands are for an increase of eight and four cents per hour, and the com pany shows no indication of making the concession. The I'opnliat Platform.

If there is anything I haveentire faith in, in the way of intent medicine, suid Mrs, Ann T. Devenlsh, of Custleton, H no county, Kansas, to a reporter, "it is l)r. Williams' i'itik l'ills for Pale People. "Why? do you nsk well, for seven years I was a wretched sufferer from nervous debility and rheumatism. My wrists were so swollen and my fingers so siff that I got no sleep at night. My hips, backbone and shoulder blades were so painful if I moved that I awoke screaming with agony, and asmall lump of bone or callous grew on my spine, which was exquisitely painful. Of course, my heart was badly u fleeted, and the numerous physicians with whom I con sulted were all of one mind, and that was that my days were numbered and they could do me no good. I could not leave my bed without help, and once lay for three weeks ill one position and would not nave Oeen sorry if death had ended my sufferings, when one day about three months ago some one read to me from the Hutchison ua zette an account of a wonderful cure of a patient whose ills were somewhat similar to mine, by using Dr. Williams nun Pills for Pale People. '1 was struck by what 1 heard and procured a supply of Pink l'ills about six weeks ago, and had not got through the first box when 1 received extraordi nary relief. Hope returned and I con tinued with the pillH, every day adding to my store of health. My uerves be came i tranquil, the rheumatic pains be gan to leave me, palpitation of the heart ceased, my kidneys and liver grew nor mal, and though 1 am still taking Pink l'ills, lam almost well. lcnn tell vou of three persons to whom I have recommended Pink Pills all of Custleton, who were suffering with heart d llii'iilty Mrs. L. Smyth, Mrs. John Pureell and Mrs. Maher, and they will tell you what Pink Pills did forthem and they also know what they did for ine." Dr. Williams' Tink Pills contain, in a condensed lorin, nil the elements neces sary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. 1 hey are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregular ities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men tl e.v effict a radical cure in all cases arising iroin mental worry, over work or excesses of w hatever nature. Pink Pills are wold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from ' Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. A Pocket Bicycle. A Frenchman named Leguir, who is an enthusiastic bicyclist, and has had untold trouble with train guards and baggage men when transporting his wheel on the ailways, has invented for his own convaaience a pocket bicycle. This name is not to taken literally; the bicycle cannot be folded so closely as to go into a man's pocket.- However, each wheel, after the rubber tiring has been remove!, may be taken apart in four sections, and these , sections clapped together, as a fan would be, so that the whole machine goes into a case of about the size required for Ave or six umbrellas. M. Leguir carries the package with : shawl strap. A Berlin e,jlor wh0 went to Paris to examine . ., with the Intention of hav ing one made for his own use, remark ed after his return: "All very frne, but we shall think a long time before trust ing our own bones to this machine." .Senator Allen' Invesliitatlon. In its dispatches of Saturday evening brief mention was made in Tim Post of the fact that suit for foreclosure of the government lien upon the Union Pacific railroad was filed at noon of that day in Omaha, und also the fact that Judge Sanborn at St. Louis had the previous evening granted to (Jeneral John C. Cowin, special counsel for the govern ment, leave to file the proceedings. The papers presented by General Cowin at St. Louis were received by Clerk Hillis of the federal court in Omaha a little before noon on Saturday. They were brought from St. Louis by H. H. Hatteroth, pri vate secretary to General Solicitor Kelly of the Union Pacific, acting for General Kelly, the special government counsel. They comprise the hill of complaint, the appearance of Attorney General Harmon in the ease, the petition asking leave to make the receivers defendants, and the order of Judge Sanborn grant ing the petition. The bill has reference to the Union Pa cific road alone, the Central Pacific not being included. General Cowin remained at St. Louis to prepare like papers to be bled in the other jurisdictions of the court. '1 he interest of the government is al leged to be $57,201,178.30. This in cludes the balance dueto the government fop interest paid on the subsidy bonds in th amount of $29.9G4.6G.:W; ma tured bonds paid in February, 18!)(J, in the amount of f4.320.00O; matured bonds paid in January, 1807, in the amount of $.'5.8411,000; bonds to come due in J808, $15,010,512. The defendants are the Union Pacific railway and its receivers; also F. Gordon Dexter and Oliver Ames us first mort gage trustees, also the Union Trust com pany of New York as trustee for bonds issued iu 1873; also J. Pierpont Morgan, Edwin F. Atk lis und the Central Trust company hh trustees for bridge bonds. The bill describes the organization of the Union Pacific railroad and recites the variousacts of congress in relation thereto with the issues Of bonds. Ex hibits are at tactied showing the state, inent of accounts between the road and the government. It asks that judgment be had on the priority of all liens; that that the lien of the United States be adjudged to be in its proper order of lawtul incumbrance on all the premises, property and fran chises of the system; that through a master in chancery or otherwise a des cription of all the property of the road be made that is subject to the lieu and liable to be sold, that the value of the sinking fund be determined and provi sion made for turning it into money, also its application as a credit on th" debt to the government; thatou pay ment in a reasonable time to be fixed by the court the mortgage be foreclosed and the proceeds turned into the treasury of the United States; that the present receivers be extended for this suit or others appointed for the preser vation of the interests of all parties concerned. The action is the Jdirect result of the defeat of the funding bill in the house and the negotiations of the attorney general with the reorganization commit tee, the chief object of which was to guarantee that the government would not sacrifice its claim by a sale at a price that would leave nothing after the first liens had bpen satisfied. The bill will also be filed in the districts of Iowa, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. Bills for the foreclosure of the lien on the Kansas Pacific division of the Union Pacific will be filed iu Missouri and Kansas. "One fact should not be lost sight of. and that is that thousands upon thou sands of our people have invested their savings in our junior securities of the system, in the $00,000,000 of stock, be cause the government was interested with them and would protect the prop ertv. They will loose all they have had whatever they might pay in to save it, if the government is completely disinter ested. "Now this question is not settled and is going over to the next administra tion. We have the assurance from the highest officials that the government would continue its protection, and un less it does so do the company may not be re-organized for years. "With the government in it, an assess ment of $10 per share would be suffi cient and the savings of tens of thou sands of people would be protected. While these proceedings wese going on at this end of the line, Senator Allen was busy in Washington trying to see that no undue advantage was being taken of the government by this action, which seems to be entirely satisfactory to Union Pacific people. He introduced in the senate a resolution, w hich was agreed to without objection, calling on the at torney-general to inform the senate whether he had entered into an arrange ment or stipulation with the reorgamza tion committee of the Union Pacific rail road respecting the foreclosure of th government lien; also to send the senate the full text of the agreement or stipu lation, together with the names of tin parties thereto, and of the persons com prising the reorganization committee, ns well as the written authority he may have for beginning such foreclosure pro ceeding or entering into such agreement or stipulation. PECULIAR POISONS. GENERATED IK THE HUMAN BODY The Kesult of Imperfect Food. Digestion of Every living thing, plant or animal, contains within itself the germs of cer tain deenv and death. In the human body these germs of dis ease and. death (called by scientists Ptomaines), and usually the result of imoerfect digestion of food; the result of indigestion or dyspepsia. The stomach, from abuse, weakens does not promptly and thoroughly di crest the food. The result is a heavy sodden mass, which ferments (the first process of decay) poisoning the blood making it thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning the brain causing headaches and pain in the eyes. Ibid digestion irritatesthe hear!, caus- ing palpitation and finally bringing on disease of this very imprtant organ. Poor digestion poisons the kidneys. causing Bright 8 disease and diabetes, And tins is so because every organ every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion shows itself not only in loss of appetite and flesh, but iu wen nerves and muddy complexion. The great English scientist, lluxlev said the best start in life is a soun stomach. eaK stomaens lau 10 uiges food properly because they lack th proper quantity of digestive acids, (la tic and hydrochloric) and jetogeni products; the most sensible remedy nil cases of indigestion, is to take afte each meal, one or two of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets, because they supply i a pleasant, harmless form all the ele ments that weak stomachs lack. They increase flesh, insure pure blood strong nerves, a bright eye and clear complexion, because all these result only from wholesome lootl wen oigestea.

A Successful Woman' Method of Ripen ing (.'ream A Mistake. About Gar den Aii vintages of Geeie and Duck larm Note and Home Hint. A Womin'i Way. Mrs. E. M. Jones of Canada Is still In love with tho old way of setting milk the long rows of shining pans in the cool, quiet dairy and she de clares that she has made just as good butter by shallow setting as by deep setting, when everything was all right But the trouble is that every thing is not always all right. She found, as everybody found, that she could not control the surroundings, and so she took to the creamery which bids defiance to surroundings. But when the cream is drawn off you are again at the mercy of the atmos phere, and now you must keep your wits about you, for here is where much trouble creeps in. Stir your can thoroughly down to the bottom, twice a da or every time fresh cream is added, and keep it as cool as you possibly can (but on no ac count freeze it) till you have suffi cient for a churning. Now, you must raise it in summer to sixty degrees, in winter to sixty-two to sixty-five, according to the temperature of the room you churn in. Some people do this by putting the can near the kitchen stove, and then the butter is ruined before it goes into the churn. The side next the stove will be ever so much too hot, oily and greasy, while the other side is too cool, and the cream will absorb every odor of cooking an 1 kitchen, to re-appear in the butter and tell the tale of iarnorance or carelessness. There is but one way to temper cream properly, and that is in a hot water bath. Have a larger can than the cream can, ana nave reaay a long wooden paddle, a common thermom eter and a clean towel, rill the larger can about half full of hot water (but not boiling), then set in the cream can, and instantly be gin stirring constantly with the paddle, so none of the cream next the in will get over-heatod. ihe water must raise as high as the cream does, so all will be equally heated. Have a light wire attached to your ther mometer and lower it to the middle of your cream can occasionally. Hold it there a few moments, then take out and wipe quickly, so as to clear the glass. The moment the cream is of the right temperature, lift out the can, stir for a few moments longer. cover with a clean towel, and put where it will remain at exactly the same temperature till fit to churn. Of this fitness much has been said or written, while the truth i only ex perience can decide. Twenty-four hours has been fixed as the right time, but it is often more and often less.

I still retiin vividly painful rec ollections of an occasion wheu in London I paid a cabman a sovereign under the impression that it was a shillin?. The cabman had a contract to drive me a certain distance every night, but I never - clapped my eves on him again. lie evidently wasn't a hog. lie was satisfied with what he had made out of the contract and was willing to give some of the other cab men a chance. I have no doubt that during the brief period recently when so many houses paid off in specie because they couldn't get bills many careless per sons let gold slip through thr fingers under the impression that it was silver or nickel. One instance came under my own observation. A Xileuu had just re ceived his week's pay in $" gold pieces, and I improved the opportunity to tell him my experience with the London cabman, at which he laughed heartily. Then, being something of a cigarette fiend, he sought the nearest cigar store for the means of indulgence ia his favorite vice. He thrust a hand into one of his pockets, tossed what tie thought was a nickel on the counter and strolled out of the shop. I shall always patronize that cigar dealer hereafter when I get a chance. It didn't take him five seconds to decide that he preferred a nickel with a clear conscience to 85 without it. My Lon don cabman had been trained in a different school. Over he President' Veto.
