the cutting does not do that. In the

Keep on advertising. It is said that

to have seen it before ; the eighth time ,

gins to think there is something in it ;

rule is too little appreciated. To be
profitable , advertising must be year in

pers , dogged and persistent.

Southern girls have for generations

that nothing is more soothing to the

dainty hands and rubbed on the face ,
takes off all sunburn , while application
of the cool white pulp next to the red

Last Saturday evening , while out

an accident in which , however , serious
injury or damage was happily averted.
While engaged in conversation with
Mrs. G. L. Laws at the latter's residence
the right hand line caught under the
end of the thill , the horse turning
around overturned the phaeton and threw
'out the occupants , Mrs. Hocknell , Miss
Lyons , and babies Hocknell and Laws ,
with more alacrity than comfort or
grace requires. The frightened horse
then made a strong effort to demolish
the handsome new phaeton to which it
was attached ; but assistance arriving ,
the animal was stopped ; not , however ,
until it had received injuries which will
interfere with its usefulness for some
time. P. S. We are constrained to
add right here that nothing short of
the splendid horsemanship exhibited
averted serious results.

Captain Jack's Fishy Story.
There is always virtue in having
friends at court. In fact it conies
mighty handy to have friends anywhere
and everywhere. And , by the way , Ne
braska has 'em. One of them has just
come to-the front handsomely , as > vill
be seen by the following from the Utica
( N. Y. ) Daily Press of August 26th :
To the Editor of the UTICA DAILY PRESS.
UTICA , Aug. 23. If you will kindly give
me space in your columns , I would like to
say a word in reply to a statement made in
the following persoual in the Sunday Trib
une :
"JACK" RETURNS FROM THE WEST.
"Stalwart 'Jack1 O'Brien , formerly
the celebrated watchman of the Long
block , has returned from McCook , Neb. ,
and will in the future reside in this city.
Oaptain 'Jack' says there is great suf
fering in the state and many have
already deserted the place. The provis
ions are very scaice and the crops are a
failure. His son Charles will remain
in the west for the present. "
Although not now a resident of Neb
raska , yet I believe it to he one of the
best states in the union. This year , for
the first time in seven , the crops are a
partial failure in some parts of the state ,
principally in the western. McCook is
in Western Nebraska where but little
farming is carried on and where they
experienced the driest season. But I
believe that the statement that "there
is great suffering in the state and many
have already deserted the place" is a
great mis'take. 'i he farmers of Neb
raska will not make as much this year
as they have every year up to the pres
ent time. But for the past seven years
( to my knowledge ) they have made
more money , considering the amountin-
vested and the labor performed , than
the farmers of any other state in the
union. There has been a larger immi
gration to the state in the pustsix months
than in the sauie length of time in the
history of the state. The farmers of
the state are not going to suffer because
of a partial failure in crops one year.
They are in a good financial condition
and can stand it , and they will also see
that the more unfortunate farmer of
the western part of the state , where the
drought was felt the Tnost , does not
suffer. That portion of the state where
crops are above the average covers an
area larger than the whole state of New
York. I make this statement because
I do not believe such a prosperous state
should be kept from prospering by such
reports made , probably , ashonestfacts ,
but certainly without a proper under
standing of the situation. I have been
well over the state in the past month ;
was interested , therefore made it a point
to learn how matters stood , and so know
what I am talking about.
TALBOT R. GADD :
The writer of the above truthful
statement of facts in Nebraska's defense
is a son of Colonel E. T : Gadd. Cap-
bain Jack must be a descendant from a
long line of fish commissioners , the
modern heirs of Ananias. It is a won
der he allowed his own son Charles to
remain in Nebraska at the peril of starv
ing to death. Sunday's Journal.
Wise Men from the Eorsf" .
THE TRIBUNE esteems it a favorable
and suggestive indication , the fact that
eastern parties are quietly coming into
this section and making land purchases ,
and paying fair prices as an earnest
of their confidence in the future of this
part of Nebraska. Regardless of the
fact that the crops are a failure to a
greater or less extent , ( in common with
jther portions of the country , be it
known , however , ) there is now a greater
demand for farm property than we have
experienced in two or three years.
The effect should be reassuring and
stimulating and means that the coun
try will emerge from the present de
pression into a more substantial and
permanent prosperity , upon a more
jusiness-hke basis. It is also an evi
dence of wisdom and foresight in the
purchasers of Nebraska realty at this
juncture.
Prejudice's Sa < / Work.
Prejudice seems to have completely
almded Commissioner Bennett of the
third district. At least he now refuses
to accept a complimentary copy of THE
TRIBUNE which has been sent him since
iris appointment to that oflice. Upon
no other hypothesis can be explained his
strange and unaccountable action. The
joosetown Banner is about the doctor's
size. He can smell Ananias' articles
and don't need to use his sadly impair
ed sight.
