St. Louis society item : "One hun
dred and seven gentlemen and Indies
who assimilated too much buck beer on
Sundajpaid three hundred and twenty-
one dollars into the city ticusury Mon
day and swore off on Tuesday. "
Joe ClUTCiiriEl.l ) , the [ mliaiia tem
perance talker now at large in Nebraska ,
puts it in this way : "Licensing the
liquor traffic and fining a man for get
ting drunk , is like licensing the itch and
fining a man for scratching. "
The lower house of the Pennsylvania
legislature has passed a bill giving con
ductors and station masters police pow
ers. The bill is designed to preserve
order on Mains and about stations , and
empowers trainmen and station masters
to arrest on sight.
In the North American Review Mr.
Edward Atkinson , the well known au
thority on economic questions , makes
the positive assertion that the value of
eggs consumed in this country is $100 , -
000,000 , being greater than the annual
production of pig iron , wool and silver
combined.
Punch , conductor , punch with care ,
punch in the presence of the editaire , he
gave up his pass with a stony stare , and
now he ' s requested to pay his fare. His
boots are patched and his coat thread
bare , and how can you wonder that he
stops to swear ? It's rough on the writer
when he pays his fare , but punch in the
presence of the editaire. Atchison

The whisk } ' pool is about broken up.
It cannot stand the burden of carrying
so much over-production in the face of a
daily decline in the amount of whisky
consumed. The price has been reduced
from $1.13 to $1.05 , at which point no
doubt a good deal will be exported. But
the fact remains that the average dis
tillery is a losing piece of property.
Lincoln Democrat.
A horrid man inquires , with some
solicitude , apropos of the female suf
frage question , "If the mother of a
young family should go to congress ,
what would become of the children ? "
Rest in peace , base male , no mother of
a young family wants to go to congress.
Fortunately those females thirsting for
political honors are in the main mother
less wives and spinsters. Young moth
ers prefer the home congress.
O the dust , the beautiful dust !
Whirling along on the eddying gust ;
shaping its course to disfigure our
clothes , piling in ridges inside of our
nose ; blown by the zephyrs all day in
our ears , blearit/g our eyes till we can
not shed tears ; blown with a whoop and
a flourish so grand , filling our teeth with
the pulverized sand ; the fiueness of pow
der , the color of rust , may the blank
send a blank on the blankety dust.
Atchison Globe.
The adjutant general is completing
preparations for organizing the second
regiment of the National Guards. The
governor has decided that the following
places will be allowed to organize com
panies : Chadron , Shelton , Tekamah ,
Ord , Stromsburg , Long Pine , Hay
Springs , Fairbury and Nebraska City.
There is still another location to make ,
and half a dozen cities are striving for
the honor of supporting a first class mil
itary organization.
"We have it from Postmaster Thomp
son that a quantity of the mail intended
for McCool , York county , comes to this
postoffice before reaching its destination ,
being a source of considerable annoy
ance and work. As there is no office at
the Junction as yet , in view of the like
ness between McCook and McCool , the
latter place might with propriety receive
a postoffice name more dissimilar. Loss
of time and damage to individual dispo
sitions may thereby be averted.
It is becoming more and more appar
ent that in the territories this is a gov
ernment of the people , by the people
and for the Indians. Territories have
no vote. Neither 'have Indians , but
eastern Indian Rights associations have ,
and nothing pleases one of these socie
ties so much as to see 300 families
driven out of their homes at the point
of the bayonet to make room for one
bloodthirsty old brave who began his
education in the New Elm massacre
and graduated in the Custer butchery.
