Highestoall in Leavening Power.Latest U. S Gov't Report - R.y W ' 'Z ABSOWTELY PURE i , . 1 t e By F. M. KIMMELL. $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. FEW statesmen and patriots rise above nepotism , which is prevalent in a noticeable degree in the present - ent legislature. IN the appointments in the present - ent legislature Lancaster county - exhibits the characteristic hoggishness - ness of the big cities of the east end. THE New York Sun describes the recent love-feast betweenGrove and Dave as the kissing of righteousness - eousness and peace , and leaves the reader in doubt as to the identity of the kissers. 4 LooI'ING state treasuries is getting - ting to be quite a fail. A choice selection of state treasurers and t their thieving confederates need to be Barrett Scott-ed most urgently. Even if some of them must be lost down a well or in the unopenable mystery of the Nlobrara's quick- sand. SECRETARY LUDDEN's report of the non-arrival of the vaunted contributions to the "Nebraska sufferers" from various states of the Union suggests a modern method - od of getting big adv6rtisements gratis. The Journal hopes , however - ever , that the people in th ® states so far promising with no performance - anco will insist on having those train loads of wheat and coal forwarded - warded or else that the fact of their non-appearance shall be as widely ' 1 advertised as the good intentions of those who contributed them in their dreams.-Journal. THOUSANDS of people had to be turned away from a meeting of citizens called in San Francisco , Saturday , to protest , among other things , against the Pacific funding b bill. The people of California have not been quiescent under the threat of this odious piece of legislation - lation , but have been showering remonstrances upon their representatives - sentatives in congress and calling upon them to defeat it at all haz- ards. The representatives from the Pacific coast will not be able to . excuse a vote in favor of the funding - ing bill by asserting that they did not know how their constituents stood on the matter. Colorado , too , has spoken against the funding bill through its legislature. What does the Nebraska legislature propose - pose to do-Bee. SOUTH DAKOTA appears to have been blessed with two thieves in her roll of state officials. According - ing to late reports the land corn- missioner has been stealing the school fund that passed through his hands as the proceeds of the school land sales and leases. As in the case of the treasurer the steal wasconsummated through the carelessness - lessness of other officials whose duty it was to look after his ac- counts. It is a bad mess and indicates - dicates a general state of demoralization - ization in official and banking circles - cles in that young state. Now that the horse is gone it is too late to lock the door of the stable , but the thieves should be run down to the last man of them and equal justice meeted out to the gang , from the highest to the lowest.- Journal. . , S.

I have bought several plating machines , but they were either not large enough for some articles or they did not work easy , and I have never made much money until I obtained the Practical Plating Dynamo. This is the electrical machine used in all the great gold and silver plating factories , and does the work every time. No sooner did the people hear that I had this electrical Dynamo , than I had more spoons , knives , forks and jewelry than I could plate in a month. The first week I cleared $31.50 , and the second week I cleared $75.00 , and I think by the first of January I will have a thousand - sand dollars in cash and give my farm considerable attention too. The Plating Dynamo is the tiling to use , and you can learn to use it in about an hour. Any one can write to W. P. Harrison & Co. , of Columbus , Ohio , who make the machines , for circulars. As this is my first lucky streak , I give my experience , hoping others may be benefited as much as I have been. LEBANON. Pleasant winter weather. Selah ! Meeting still in progress at the church.

During the course of one of Dr. Hartmau's latest lectures at the Surgical Hotel , he said : "Good hearing is essential to health and safety. A continual roaring , cracking - ing and buzzing in the headwhich is always produced by partial loss of hearing , is a constant nervous irritation which will gradually undermine - dermine the strength. Besides this , even a slight loss of hearing , renders any one more liable to accident , many persons being killed - ed every year because of partial deafness. Many people think that a gradual loss of the sense of hearing - ing is inevitable , and that every one must submit to it sooner or later. Hence they make no effort to find a cure. This is a mistake. Loss of hearing in the old or young people , is nearly always due to chronic catarrh of the head or middle ear. " Catarrhal deafness is due to Catarrh - tarrh of the throat passing up through the Eustachian tubes to the middle ear. The catarrh in rare cases originates in and remains - mains confined to the middle ear. The symptolns are : Roaringcrack- ing , buzzing in the ear , with gradually - ually increasing difficulty in hear- ing. If not cured the hearing will be entirely destroyed. When the case has not gone too far before treatment is begun Pe-ru-na will cure every case. It is only after catarrh has destroyed portions of the middle ear that Pe-ru-na fails to cure. All such cases should write Dr. Hartman , Columbus , 0. , for further advice. A book on la grippe , coughs , colds , catarrh , etc. , will be sent free to any address by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company of Columbus , Ohio. TYRONE. Rev. Sireeter filled his appointment - ment here Sunday. Mrs. Hunt and son Charlie visited - ited old friends at Tyrone , fore part of the week.

" At the Sunday school election , last Sabbath , Frank Moore was reelected - elected superintendent and Mrs. Mary Richmond , assistant super- intendent. The many friends of Hon. J. J. Lamborn here are pleased to note that he was first to offer a bill for the relief of drouth sufferers , also that he is serving on some important - tant committees.
