PRESTON , ' : < - - 2 " AMD GOT Have located my Nursery Grounds here , and wi grow only the BEST for my trade. ' * o MmFAGTION GUARANTEED , A TEN days' tour'over that portion o Nebraska visited by the B. & M. loco motives has penmaded the writer tha he has hilhcrto possessed vague notion of the progress and prosperity of th state. The commonwealth is assuminj imperial proportions , and the predic tions of the most sanguine pioneer o twenty to thirty years ago , fall far shor of prophecy. The most striking features of the out look this year is the uniformity of the appearance of the growing crops. Thfe corn fields of the Nernaha are reproduc cd on the Blues and on the Republican and the corn fields of the divides and up lands are fac similes of those of the river bottoms and low-lands , and fron the Missouri river to the Colorado line wherever corn has been planted , the only observable difference between one field and another is manifestly due to a difference in the amount of culture be stowed , and not to soil or altitude. If nothing untoward happens there can be no doubt that the aggregate bar vest of the coming fall in Nebraskadi vided by the area planted , will surpass anything in the annals of the Uuitec States and secure a permanent place for this state in the very front of the agri cultural sections of the union. The magnificence of the grain fieldi in this state is not marred by the ap pearance of the towns. There js not to be found anywhere on the face of the earth a collection of towns , villages am incipient cities of the same age , that show the good taste , neatness , ane marks of thrift and enterprise that are everywhere seen in these new Nebrask towns. The business houses , larger residences and frame cottages of Me Cook , Tndianola , Alma , Republican City and Bloomington and Red Olouc in the Republican Valley , with their shaded and shaven lawns of blue grass and clover , their neat fences and side walks , their brick school houses , churches and court houses , are not , only worthy of New England but surpass the patten in the freshness of their paint and the beauty of their modern designs. Noth ing approaching the completeness of the towns of western Nebraska can be fount in any other frontier state through whiol we have travelled. Nebraska is a marvel , not only to the stranger within her gates but to the older pioneers of the eastern tier oi counties. The people that are now pour ing into her borders and occupying tin , prairie , come for homes. They arc rap idly making her the most home-like state in all the west. State Journal. Siu MOSES MONTEFIOUE has at last succumbed to the common fate of mor tality. A Hebrew of the Hebrews in the tenacity with which he clung to traditions and customs covered with tangled ivy. he won the respect and good will of all nations by the purity of his life and his immeasurable sympathy for destitution and suffering. The poor of every race who "have only the heavens for a cover ing and the earth for a couch , " will miss a generous benefactor. When his friends died he said , "It is a dagger thrust in to me , " and the Israelites of Palestine use the same expression when speaking of their loss. He lived long , but could not outlive his usefulness. He travel led the earth over before railroads were dreamed of ; he has seen dynasties fall and kings and queens flying for their lives ; he has looked into the face of famine and pestilence ; he has been hunted by wolves and has done what he could to succor his people when hunted sy the Czar. And now , after life's itful fever , Sir Moses has "joined the majority. " New York Herald. A NEW use has been found for the gui tar. The Spanish troops occupying the cholera stricken city of Saragosa have jeen supplied with these instruments to enable them to keep up their spirits. Ihe soldiers are trying the effects of guitar music as an antidote for cholera , and for fear the disease might catch them napping they keep up the alleged music day and night. It is reported that the inhabitants have fled the city , but whether in dread of the cholera or to get away from the music is not stated. Be tween the two terrible inflictions the vorld at large will not be surprised that everybody wanted to run away. There will be some curiosity to learn whether there are any soldiers who survive the louble danger. Those that do need not > e afraid of the trifling danger arising from Gatling guns and exploding shells. Is your life worth 25 cents ? That is he price of a bottle of Chamberlain's jolic , Cholera and Diarhcea Remedy , .t has saved many lives and may yours yet if you have it at hand for use in case of an attack of Cholera Morbus , Dysen- ery or Diarhcea. It will also cure Asi atic Cholera if taken in time. Sold by M. A. Spalding and B. & M. Pharmacy. flow indestructible the good grows and propagates itself , even among the weedy entanglement of evil. GOLD can buy nearly everything in this world except that which a man wants most , viz : happiness. THE owners of horses who wish to keep flies from tormenting them , can do so by rubbing with a solution made by steeping a pound of walnut leaves in a quart of water ; after standing a few minutes strain and bottle for use. THE recent exposures of the Pall Mall Gazette have had their desired effect upon the house of commons which by an immense majority passed the law for the protection of female children. Now if the Gazette will sec that the law is enforced and that London's aristocratic lechers are brought to justice , it will re ceive the plaudits of the whole civilized world. IRELAND'S population is steadily am rapidly decreasing , owing principally tc the large migration of its people t ( America. And yet there are few mor patriotic peoples than the Irish. Thesi facts taken in conjunction show tha most if not all the ills of Ireland an real and not imaginary , and that th complaints made against the rapacity and injustice of England arc well found cd. Will the English people never re alizc that they are the. greatest losers by their course toward the Irish ? MORE than five hundred thousand cases of bowel complaint have been cur ed by Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and Diarhcea Remedy.
