TO YOUNO MEN IN LOVE(!!llll Artl- clo):-Ailm!tt!ug the truth of all I said to you Inst week ubout the compelling force of lovo anil Its moulding In fluence, so strango that purified thought has forced out grossness, so transforming that music is in your soul and poetry on your tongue, so volcanic that tlio crust of sclilshncss thick over your heart is rout asunder and a stream of thoughtfulncss for another gushes forth admitting this, I say, you must coucedc another fact that cxlsits In every Christian ci liga tion. Every young follow, no matter how lowly or lofty, no matter how un educated or learned, no matter how badly or well brought up, gains from his feeling of devotion to ono dear wo man choico of his heart a glimpse at least of the real grandeur of living and a ray at least of the sunshine of lite possible to all of us forever and ever through woman, tho weak-strong com plement of man. This gift of better understanding of tho responsibility of existence comes to all who truly love; with some it lingers for aye, with others it vanishes liko the dew on a summer morning. But to all it comes; whether treasured or disregarded. Fleas now for here my heartfelt appeal to yon whose steps-arc springy cut conviction that perfect love con sists as much in communion with her dear mind and spirit as it docs in seeming contact with her precious body. I know you have felt this way and ought to still, for you like to think as she docs; opinions and beliefs ex pressed by her tender lips and bright oyes have become for awhilu more real touches of divltio wisdom than you think you ever heard before. Of coutso she is not tho wisest mortal, but tho effect on you is just as good as if she were, for it diaws jou to her sido and you both rejoice in being together. If this feeling can be mado to last, your future will bo ono of beautiful growth in wisdom and happiness. OUR EASTERN VISITORS. To avoid the misery I depict, bear in mind that lire is a good servant but a frightful master; that the added free dom of marriage will havo a tendency to confuso your thought so that tho minor function a function whose gratification has not hcretoforo been essential to your happy communion with her is in dauger of becoming tho tnaior feature of the united lifo. In stead of being a subordinate enjoy ment, merely added that the mental and spiritual attachment may bo more nrrftly welded, it will, like a cuckoo in in the home nest, grow and fight for the mastery of all and will succeed un less you watch. Tho abuse of the physical duties and privileges will, like the scorching heat of a desert, destroy the fragrance and delicacy of life. The dividing line between love and tart k easily crossed, and then, with hope must Jbegin look around like a paralyzed king in thelower floor yon. Look well at many ol thoso wno 01 ms inree-sionea paiace, it win do haviag loTed each other and truly, years ago passed into marriage, a state which in your present feeling seems the one thing above all others to bo de sired. Study them closely, for mayhap you are looking in a prophetlo mirrorl The youth of ten summers ago goes to his daily duties now like a machine, and like a moro machine ho turns homeward at night. Buoyancy has disappeared. Ho plods much liko a horso plods, with no motion taken un less forced to it by extovnal necessity. Whore ho once obeyed a gentle voice with alacrity, glorying in sacrifice, leaping to hor tasks, (he was just as sincere as you are) ho is apt now to grumblo at even tho harncsaing of the horso for her to drive. Ho approaches tho maiden of ten years ago more often with complainings than with praise. At eventldo ho wraps himself up in silenco, doiug nothing to enliven tho hours or away ho goes to tho society of tho club or tho grocery or tho saloon or worse. Tho ordinary courtesy prompted by civilized feeling towards women is forgotten when with his wife, and ho linds In marrlago merely per mission to be rude to one woman with out fear of rebuke. Tho fragranco of love that exists in tiny attentions like opening tho door, raising tho hat, and saving choico portions for her at tablo, has evaporated and left no traco be hind. If occasionally ho (his namo is logion)l thinks backward along tho way ho has traveled, his puzzled heart will admit with a groan that no mat tnr how sweet tho uncertainties and hopes and dreamlngs of courtship, marrlago with its knowledgo and intimacy has scattered all. Sunshine has been followed by gloom; tho rosy tints of the dawn of love by tho un relieved stretches of a dun colored day. So lads, though you are likely to dony such a thing and probably ready to arguo with mo most vigorously about it, there is a possibility, not very remote, if wo may judge from othors, that your heart's feelings wlllchango and tho glorious oasis you aro resting in, (capable of becoming a beauteous kingdom under your care,) will witness your back turned on Its pleasures aul your face set towards a dreary, desert journey, Uko the ono you have traveled before you found your dear lovo. As follows traversing but once tho path way of life, letiiis talk with our hearts closo together. j f hard to reach the higher stories of her mind and spirit, in whose beauties you once gloried. Whero there is a com plete surrender of tho best of each to each, there will never he contentment with grossneas; tho completion of lovo will remain lofty and sanctified. But whero the act degenerates into lust, it becomes as unlovely as tho satisfied grunting of breeding swine. Then our little Eden will become closed to us by the Uaming sword of tho outraged higher qualities.

Tho Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a community of simple, honest, God fearing men and women, havo pre pared tho Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years, and It is always tho same, simple, honest, eurativo medicine that has helped to make tho Shakers the healthy, long-lived peoplo that they aro. The Shaken) never havo indiges tion. This Is partly owing to tluir simple mode of life, partly to tho won derful properties of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the stomach glands not supplying enough digestive juice. Shaker Digestive Cor dial supplies what's wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial invigorates tho stomach and all its glands so that after awhile they don'l need help.

Land Owners of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio Come tq Sec Nebraska's Uountllul Crop. At 4 p. m. yesteulay tho Burlington 5pecial train of eastern land agents and prominent farmers from Ohio, Indiana aud Illinois pulled into the depot hero on its trip of sight seeing in Nebraska. Tho train consisted of a day coach, two Pullman sleepers the "Persia" and "Napier." Tho object of tho excursion is to acquaint tho people of tho eastern states with what Ne braska is aud what it offers to tho far mer in the way of productivo lands, tho best of markets, its schools, its towns aud its unmatched climate. Tli cro is llttlo time lost in cities. The land, tho country and tho crops ate what tho excursionists wish most to sec, and they aro afforded an oppor tunity to seo nil tho hours of daylight in tho week practically without look ing twice at tho same placo. C3 The excursionists aro the guests of the Burlington and they aro invited lor tho singlo purpose that after a wcok they may know for themselves and for tho benefit of all inquirers just what Nebraska is. They havo been in vited from many localities, largely in Indiana and Illinois, but with a num ber from Ohio. It is a novel enterprise on the part of the Burlington but none the less ad mirable. It will be appreciated by tho peoplo of the state as well as by the guests themselves for the peoplo of Nebraska are proud of their state nnd prond of tho magni&cant showing it is making. A practically completo list of them with the locality from which they come is herewith given although in tho short timo and opportunity given to obtain them tho completeness of tho list may be marred.

It was tho object of the Burlington to secure representatives for this ex cursion from as wide a torrltory as possible, and how well thoy succeeded the many places in tho states named testify. There aro some sevcnty-Jivo of tho guests nnd they aro representative men of thuir localities. There aro two-thuds of them farmers, practical farmers, successful farmers, who know what good soil is, what good lands are, what crops ought to bo and who can tell just what crops aro and how sue cessful farmers aro in this Btate. A glanco through the cars shows them to be substantial conservative men, men of middle age, men of affair, exactly tho kind of men that the statu wants and that will do thestato good in tho use of the information they obtain. W. C. T. U. Convention. Tho tenth annual convention of tho ninth district W. C. T. U. met in tho Christian Church of lied Cloud, An?., 11th and 12th. Delegates were pres ent from tho unions of Bed Cloud, Hastings, Hoseland, Ayr, Blue Hill, Cowlcs, Inavale, Franklin, Blooming ton, Napouec, aud Olivet, Kansas. Miss Flora 11. Cassel of Hastings, con ducted tho music and sang some very tiuo solos of her own composition, some of them snug for the first time in public. Site also presented each dele gate a "souvenir" of the convention, a song lcallut containing some seventeen different songs, ono of them the dis trict song, composed by Dr. Cassel, to bo sung at tho stato convention which meets iu Kearney next Octobor. Tho vice president of tho stato W. C. T. U., Mrs. A. M. Bunting, was pres ent and helped greatly with her words of wisdom, presided nt tho election of officers and Thursday evening gave an interesting nnd witty account of her trip abroad especially her visit to Switzerland and climbing the Alps. Memorial services wcro held for two members who hud died during thoycar, Mr. C. A. Hansen of Blue Hill and lWotliRrM Mnrernn nff Pi-nsjnr. A telegram of greeting was received from Mrs. Bense of Fairfield, state superintendent of "Purity in Literature and Art," also three dozen 'booklets' containing the pledge of the "inner mission."2Some thirty took tho pledge. Tho election of officers resulted In Mrs. L. S. 0. Brakefield, president; Mrs. Allco Pope, corresponding secre tary; Mrs. Lina Logan, recording sec retary; Miss Nellie Ownes, treasurer. Nominees to national convention to bo bold nt Buffalo, N. Y., to bo confirmed by tho stato W. C. T. U Mrs. Brake field with Mrs. Cassel alternate. The meetings wero all pleasant and profitablo though too much of tho pro gram had to be hurried or left out en tirely. It was voted to hold the next convention two full days. Burglars Escaped. Tho most skillful and daring bur glar who over carried on his nefarious business in Webster county is again at large. After making a successful op eration an tho store of Fuller & Good at Cowles, escaping with tho plunder into Kansas, being taken by Sheriff Bunchoy, making a during and clover cscnpo.tand then being again capturod, Jack Kiddie with his companion in crime, William Scott, escaped from tho county jail on triday night last. Friday night the sheriff was obliged to go to Lincoln about a case of insanity and tho thieves, undoubtedly apprised of tho situation by some outsider, probably a resident of this city, effect ed their cscapo some time during tho night. Tho cage doors and tho main doors of tho jail wcro securely locked as usual but in some mysterious way, probably with the assistance of a com panion on tho outside himself a profes sional, tho keys were procured nnd tho delivery effected. No blame can bo at tached to tho sheriff since be took every possible precaution for safety during his absence, Mr. Hutchison, tbo marshal, having visited tho jail fre quently during the night and partic ular, care being taken to seo that tbo locks wore all fast. Tho cscapo only makes plainer the absoluto necessity of experience and skill iu tho sheriff's office. Pos sibly no more crlmo will bo committed for a long timo, but when it is there should bo men in charge who know the possibilities of escape. A Chicago man has written a book attacking the evils of tho day and winds up a paragraph on childless life of fashiouablo marriages as follows: "I would rather bo a squatter on a western prairio, living in a dugout, llghtiug floods and fires with a truo woman beside me, than live in a palace in Chicago with a fashion plate for a wifo and a poodle dog for a child." WASHINGTON NOTES. Although thero is a quotum of the cabinet in Washington, tluno is an air of vacation dullness mound all tho government departments. Secretary Sherman Is at his olllco every day, but siuco he has had to deny .so many news paper Interviews, ho will only talk In monosyllables tothosuwhoaro allowed to get iu to seo him. Attorney Gon oral McKenna is wrestling with a tariff problem reforretl to him by Sec ictaryOago, who is also In town, for an opinion, and he has listened to arguments on ono sido by Ex-Secretary Carlisle and Ex-Assistant Secretary Hamlin, the first representing tho Maine and Boston It. U. and tho latter Boston business organizations. Secre tary Wilson, is as usual, hammering away on routine mat tots and uot in clined to couit publicity In any way. According to an official documont signed and mado public by Assistant Secretary Boosovelt, an exhaustive re port made bj Commander Davis, has shown that those who charged that everything was not conducted just as it should be at tho Brooklyn Nnvy Yard wcro merely dreamer) of troubled dreams, or words to that effect. Mr. Roosevelt even goes further, as may be scon from the following extract from his official comments upon Commander Davis' report: "But it is evident thnt tho real reason for tho attacks upon Mr. Bowles (the constructor In charge of the Brooklyn Navy Yard) is to bo found, not in the tact that bo has done badly but that ht baa done well." It would aem thai ax-Senator Hack burn, of Ky., one of the most radical liver men, is not without Influen with the appointing powers of at least one department under tho present ad ministration. At any rate that is the construction most generally put upon tho reinstatement in office of Miss Minnio McMllIin. who was dismissed by Chief Clerk Logan Carlisle while the controversy between his father, then secretary of the treasury, nnd Mr. Blackburn, then senator, was at its warmest period. It was stated at tbo timo of Miss McMlllln's dismissal that it was dono to spito Senator Blackburn and it is now said that sho owes hor re instatement to efforts of Ev-Scuator Blackburn.

Tho efforts now being made by Im migration Commissioner Powderly to provent tho coming to tho United States of thoso anarchists who havo 'been or will be oxpolied from European countries, aader tho stringent regula tions put iu force in consequence of tho asgassbiaUon of the Spanish prima minister, will be watched with eager interest by thoso who know tho weak ness of our laws in defining an anarchist, and who romomber tho failure of a determined effort to pre vent the coming of a notorious Eng lish anarchist several years ago, The man simply proved that ho had amplo meaus and was well cducatod, and the government not boing able to prove that he camo to tho U.

If tho anarchists are paupers or convicted criminals, they can bo kept out easy enough, but if they have moderato means and have not been convicted of crime, keeping them out will bo no easy job. But Mr. Powderly, who has issued & sptolal order to Immigration officers warning them to look out for two Spanish anarchists, said to bo headed this way, will mako tho effort.
