my blood, trivin t-trent'th ; wherea all other
melicine weakened me. and filled my system
witli )Kiisi.n ; and I am fati.fied that if families
that live 111 the ague districts of the south and

All Dish asks ok the rii.oon. If X'enetiiie
will relieve pain, cleanse, purify, and cure such
diseases, restoring the patient to perfect
health, after trying dilfereut physicians, many
remedies, suffering for years, is it not conclu
sive proof, if you are a sufferer, you can ie
cured? Why is this medicine pcrformini; Mich
jrreat cures? It works in the blood, in the cir
culating fluid. It can tr.ily be called the
(ireal lil'Kxl I'urilh r. The great source of dis
ease originates in the blood, and no medicine
wiichdoes not act directly upon it. to purify
and renovate, has any just claim upon public
attention.

INSURANCE AND ASSURANCE.
Solomon Keen briar and his nephew,
Ralph, dropped down upon the people
of ycliulll 'fcruff as if from the clouds,
and immediately took the rank due to
their seemingly celestial origin.
Spinsters who acknowledged to
thirty or upwards, Fet their c; ps f r
the uncle, whilst those w!io ;tckii' wl
edgetl nothing chronologically speak
ing, turned ttieir attention to the
nephew.
The Keenbriars took a house, which
they kept in approved bachelor style.
Schulilescrutt was a cheap place to
livt in, but tlie uncle and m piiew 11ms;
have h::d money, even tlieie, to hoi .
up their heads as they did.
1 was a joun lawyer, sitting in my
oilice, when one day the elder and
ymti'ger Keenbriar e;iSeretl.
"Mr. Mc.Jorkle," said Kit-nhriar se
iiior, "we called to c nsul. you upo:
an impor a .t legtd question."
"AhV I answered.
I u icli in iitcnrM mv nMilipw'fl 1'fe
Can I do so?" he as!;ed.
"Have you an insurable interest?" 1
inquired.
T he pair exchanged glanc s.
"What do you mean?" inquired th
uncle.
"Do; s your nephexv owe you any
thing?" I replied.
There was another quick exchange
f glances.
"lie dots," said Keenbriar, beaming
kindly sit his nephew, who cast Uwi
his eyt s and blushed. "Of course, I
intend to have him everything; bui
should I outlive him, which is not
Very likely, I mi tint as well have what
is due nw out of sums good company."
"There is no doubt if your right to
insure under ihe circumstances," 1 an
swered. "How much does your nephew
owe you?"
"Ten thousand dollars," said the old
gentleman.
Aud th-f nephew nodded.
I advised that the insurance be ef
fect tl in the Wigg.esworih Company,
which was the bt I knew, and it was
tlone accordingly.
Ralph Keenbriar xvas then thirty
yeuis old, and at that age, according
to the tables, a man litis eleven years
and six hundred and e ghty-two thou
sands of a y ar to live- i ot that any
man ever did live exuctly thai length
of time after reaching thirty; but that
s the line point down to wnich the in
s.irance companies have figured it
and if one dies before or alter his time
comes, it isn't their fault.
Now. it wasn't three months after
young Keenbriar 's life was insured
1 il he went oul trouting one day on a
neighboring lake. lie didn't return,
out the boat was found upset, and hs
iat tl ating in the water.
For das and days they dragged the
lake. At lasi the body was found.
Ihe features xvere past recognition,
but the garments were these Ralph
was known to have worn, and papeis
in the pocket of the corpse left no

trial, attcmpu d to prove luit t .c body
was a trille hhorter than the recorded
measurement of Dirk Cabbage, the
tailor, who had made po; r R dt h's !a t
suit. Rut the other evidence was so
strong that the jury, rftee making due
allowance for shrinkage, deemed the
variance immaterial, anel gave a V:r
dict for the plaintiff.
Wiihout intenupting the current of
my story, I tould not v.e.l biing in till
now the fact that ilr. Keenbriar, a
few d.iys after ti e insmauce of tin
polit y, got ms to elialt his will, leaving
allot which he might die possessed to his
''beloved n phi w Ralph."
Ralph, you tee by c nsul i:g the ta

Hon. (Jco. F. Blanchard for Congress.
The name of Hon. Geo. Blanchard,
which was announced by the News
last xveek in connection with the na
tional congress has been received
imong many of the state papers with
favor among none with disfavor.
Concerning the subject the Cass Coun
ty Chronicle well says: "The Omaha
Evening Xews announces the name of
Hon. Geo. F. Blanchard for congress,
and there i3 to our mind no Xorth
Platte man more eminently fitted to
represent Nebraska in the National

from the North I'latte country, we
know of no reason why Hon. Geo. F.

.Masonic Resolutions on the Death of
Frank Welch.
Omaha, September 9th, 1S78.
Brother Freemasons, Since Wed
nesday last our Grand Master, Frank
"Welcn, has not been seen of men.
neat u men tooli nun lrom our view.
He was stricken down with unfinish
ed designs upon his trestle-board,
skilled workmen as he was. His work
was not done; his eleath was untimely;
and his Brethren mourn.
To-day all that remains of him on
earth litis been taken hence to a ilis
tant country for interment. Yet even
there the honors due his life, his in
tegrity and his many virtues, will be
given by our Fraternity. And as we
bid farewell to one so dear to us, we
feel that one more tie to earth is loos
ened, so xveary are we of life's grief
and sorrow.
True, we will resume our labors;
will again plod and delve; will soon
cease to feel the pang of his loss; but
while we live who knew him his mem
ory will be cherished, his loss will be
deplorcel, his absence will be cherish
ed. For he was good and true and
noble; upright and steadfast as became
a man; kind and charitable as became
a Mason; strong and wise as became a
leader. He was our Grand Master;
and, neglecting none ef the duties he
owed his family, his neigbor, his coun
try, his God, he met tne many and va
ried duties of the station with honor
to himself and to us all.
In token of our sorrow let all our
Lodges and working tools be draped
in mourning until the Festival of St.
John the Evangelist: and let it be
made of record in each Lodge that al
most the youngest of our Grand Mas
ters was the first to pass from earth.
In the absence of the Grand Master.
Wm. B. Bowex.
Grand Secretary.
Extracts from a Private Letter.
Published by Keqaest.
Dear L. of Lixcolx
wished me to tell you the
As you
history of
I will do
the Cass County Chronicle.
so as far as memory serves.
About two years ago the democrats
assisted a young man in starting the
Chronicle at Louisville. Chronicle is
1 good mime, and sticks well. In a
short time the paper suddenly changed
its base, but not its name. Some of
the democrats thought it was base for
a paper to change its base so suddenly.
It soon fell into the hands of Fox &
Glovei and agaiu changed its base.
Though the Editors died, the name
lived; in a few month? Fox & Glover
passed the" child along into the arms
of Mr. Thorras. While these three
gentlemen had control of the paper, it
was not run in the interest of any pri
vate clique. While the great Temper
ance earthquake in Plattsmouth was
striking every body from a horizontal
to an upright condition, they were ask
ed to subscribe for the Chronicle on
condition that it should be brought to
the county seat, and run as a Temper
ance Organ. Before this a private
political ring tried to get partial con
trol of the Herald and change its
base but not succeeding, attempted to
kill it with tho Chronicle. Wo hold
that xvhen an editor announces to the
public, that he will print a news and
political, or a news and religious, or a
news and temperance paper, and the
people send in their names and money
he has no right to change his base and
forfeit his agreement. But let us pro
ceed; The Chronicle run finely for a
few week as a temperance sheet, then
suddenly changed its editor and base
xv ho yoked temperance and violent pol
itical partnership. Of course the tem
perance imtluence of the paper was
ruined, neither temperance or religion
will succeed in such a partnership. A
man might as well succeed as a re
vival preacher, yoked up with another
mans wife. We have men who would
put on a temperance garb to hide a po
litical one, or rob Gabriel of his trum
pet if they could find a Haw in the ti
tle. If the Chronicle changes its base
and editor as often in the future as the
past, we would suggest that at the
next change they call it the Cass Co.,
Weathercock.
The Papillion Times is som?what
severe on our fellow eitizin, Hon. Wm.
A. Gwyer, who announced himself last
week as a candidate for the vacancy
created by the death of the late Frank
Welch, in the U. S. Congress. The
Times says:
Hon. Wm. A. Gwyer ha3 sprung'up
like a stalk of "volunteer corn" for
Congress. He presents himself a liv
ing sacrifice. He comes out a full
blown rose, in one night. He goes to
the newspapers to let the world know
the kind of fragrance he will shed.
He proposes not only to smell sweetly
himself, but xvill perfume everything
he touches. He will build railroads,
set sails of commerce to Muttering in
the Missouri river breezes. He says,
"I belong to no political ring or
clique." There is none like him under
the sun. He is neither rosy, posy
plant, shrub, or herb, geranium or cac
tus. He is not fish, flesh, or fowl, and
says, I propose meeting all opposition
xvith defeat. In short, William can be
nothing less than a miraculously con
ceived and newly-born political cy
clone, that will v'hin and lash, sweep

The Crete Union, speaking of the
bickerings, personal quarrels, of cer
tain papers and persons in this state,
says this:
The salvation of the Republican
party in Nebraska, depends on such
papers as the Omaha Reimblican, Fre
mont Tribune, Columbus Journal,
Grand Island Times and Independent,
Kearney Press, Hastings Journal and
Gazette, Fairmont Bulletin, Beatrice
Express aud Courier, Seward Advocate
and Reporter, York Tribune and Re
publican, Lincoln Journal. Plaits
mouth Herald, Neb. City Press aad
papers of like character.
The Evening News expresses our
opinion very nearly as to the conduct
of a real newspaper:
"As those w ho have happened to be
in a p isition to ascertain vell know,
and as those who have read the News
fro in its birth must have Rained, the
editor of this paper is a Republican in
thought and feeling. Candidate's and
other circumstances being equal, we
should support the republican ticket;
but as for being a strict partisan in
the most common acceptance of the
term, that we arc not. In partisan
journalism we recognize a spirit which
can under no possible reasoning
whether of expediency or morality, be
either just or honest. Tho journalist
who can see nothing xvrong on his side
or right on the other, is a man self
blinded." News.
As showing w hat
poor men, who are
becomes of our
industrous, and
saving in this country and how littio
cause they have to join communistic
moves, Hon. E. Carr, in a speech in
Iowa tells, how poor men have succeed
ed there and it is true all over the
United States:
"The largest owner of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy stock, ami one of
the wealthiest men in the country,
worked out after he was twenty-one
years of age for 88.00 a month and
worked 14 hours a day. Ho started
from home with only the clothes on
his back and an extra pair of stock
ings. The man who owns tho most stores
in the city worked out when an ap
prentice for twenty-five dollars per
year and clothed himself out of it.
The most successful dry goods mer
chant, one of our wealthiest men, came
to this city a poor boy, and I knew
him when he was clerk in a store on
Main street at a small salary.
The largest stockholder in the First
National Bank and a man of large
means, got his start by working on a
farm for nine dollars per month.
One of the leading bank directors
worked as a hand, when a young man,
on a North River sloop.
A citizen worth a hundred thousand
dollars, who started with nothing,
learned to write his name after he
was 50 years old.
One of the wealthiest men who
walks these streets worked as an ap
apprentice in a drug store, in Philadel
phia, for his board and clothes, came
to Peoria with nothing but his good
) name, and lured out as cicik. lie soon
went into company xvith a man xvho
furnisheel capital, and in a few years
paid his partner forty thousand dol
lars for his interest in the establish
ment. One of our wealthiest citizens, pres
ident of a leading bank in Ioxva, start
ed on Cape Cod without a dollar, and
lias earned his own living since he w as
11 years old.
Nearly every elirector of three banks,
First and Second Nationals ami the
Farmers and Mechanics, started pen
niless. There is scarcely an exception.
Tho president of one of the banks told
me he did riot believe that the entire
board of directors had inherited fif
teen hundred dollars.
The honorable chief justice of the
supreme court of Illinois a resident of
this ciiv, commenced the practice of
his profession in Knoxville, xvith only
ten dollars in the xvorld.
The honorable judge of the circuit
court of this district, xvho has lived
here for thirty years, worked his own
way through college and to his profes
sion. The county officers, judge, attorney,
treasurer, clerk of courts, and sheriff,
all start"d poor men.
The president of Knox college, from
the time he xvas a mere lad, not only
earned Lis oxvn living and paid for his
education, but assisted in the support
of his parents.
The division superintendent of the
Chicago Burlington & Quincy railroad
started at the brake. A boy whom he
gave a job at this elepot as a brakeman,
xvith whom many of us have role
xvhen he attaineel the dignity of pas
senger conductor, is the general super
intendent of the Central Pacific, per
has the most important railroad on the
continent. Another xvho started here
as section boss, is now assistant super
intendent of the Union Pacific. The
master mechanic of this division of the
C. B. & Q-, started here as a fireman.
