fairly good progress and with the ex
ception of the latest pieces is entirely
beyond danger of injury by frosts.

A report reached the governor's office
from County Attorney J. J. Thomas of
Seward county , that a lot of cattle had

ernor forbids the shipment into this

farmers , especially the man who con
templates making a change , to look at
the Nebraska exhibit at the county
fair. He will meet there with men
who can tell him exactly .the condi
tions he may expect to meet with in
farming in Nebraska. He will see
samples of corn that will average CO to
70 bushels per acre over most of the
state and produced irom land that cost
from $5 to S10 an acre ; less , consider
ably less , in most cases , than the aver-
age.renter pays to get one year's crop
from lands in this and adjoining
states. "
Early the other morning W. T. Allen
entered the office of the Ashland Mill
and Electric Light company , and rais

ton. Hides , Wool and Pig Iron
Quite Active Increase In
the Number of Failures
Trade Notes.
New York , Sept. 21. R. G. Dan &
Co. 's Weekly Review of Trade says :
There is still no distinct improvement
in business , although conditions favor
it. Confidence slowly rises , specula
tive buying of materials for future
use continues , imports of gold do not
cease and the Bank of England has
not tried to check them by further ad
vances in rates as the weight of the
demand now falls upon France. But
an enormous business is held back
until the future is more clear. Maine's
great majority had no such influence ,
as was anticipated from a verdict less
emphatic.
To many minds nothing an Eastern
State can do in a contest , represented
as sectional gives sufficient assurance
how the Western and Southern States
may decide.
In cotton , hides , wool and pig iron ,
buying , opening speculative in char
acter , marks the current business.
Resumption of work by a good part
of the Fall River cotton mills aud ad
vances in some kinds of cotton goods
helped to raise the prices of middling
uplands to 8c again , though realiz
ing sent it down to 7 > c

been 317 in the United States against

SPEECH BY HOKE SMITH
The Ex-Secretary Not for Fro * Silver ,
Bat for * Bryan 77evorthelesa.
Daltok Ga. , Sept. 2L Hoke Smith ,
ex-secretary of the interior , spoke
here to-day to a large political rally ,
held under the auspices of the state
Democratic executive committee. In
opening ho referred to a former visit
to Dalton two years ago , at which ho
spoke in behalf of "sound currency , "
and urged that the Democratic nation
al platform should not approve the
free coinage of silver. He stated that
he would not be candid did he fail to
say to-day that his views on the finan
cial question remained unchanged ,
and he regretted that he could not in
dorse that part of the platform adopted
at the Chicago convention. He urged
however , that those who , like himself ,
did not approve of this plank , would
still remain loyal to the regular nomi
nees of the party.
Mr. Smith claimed that long after
the financial question was settled , the
Democratic party would be found ad
vocating principles dear to the in
terests of the masses of the people of
the country , and it would be unwise
to quit the party on account of oppo
sition to a single plank in the plat
form. So far as those were concerned
who had taken a par in the fight for
"sound money" delegates to the Chicago
cage convention , he felt that they
were practically pledged , as he was
actually pledged , to vote for the nom
inee.
inee.Mr.
Mr. Smith then briefly discussed
that portion of the Chicago platform
which dealt with the subject of rais
ing revenue. He urged the justice of
a tariff for revenue only , and con
trasted it with the high protective
tariff for which McKinley so preeminently
nently stood. He approved of the in
come tax and insisted that it was not
class legislation.

"The Old Salt Doctor. " Ii
From the World-Herald. Omaha , Neb * % j W\ \
Mr. William C. Hart , favorably ! Zfl
known among his friends and acquaint * W4 |
nnces as "The Old Salt Doctor , i Iff
probably the most familiar characterr *
in the vicinity of Twenty-fourth ancu m
Franklin streets , Omaha , Nebraska.M
Mr. Hart Is now over SO. jli
An interesting history of his rccov-f J % |
ery from a common malady follows : ! J f
A little over five years ago I became ; * W |
afflicted with a malady , the name oC / * !
which I do not know. My family have. | * J
been troubled the same when they ar- A a
rived at my aere , and they said I was (
on the same road and that there was S
no cure for me. The symptoms were , (
dizziness , loss of memory , and an utter M
prostration of the nerves. The most notable - $ S
table trouble was a swl/nmlng of the 'M
head , when I came In from a walk or 9
was out standing in the sun or doing1 it
any kind of exercise at all. When I M
would sit down , my head would swim * M
and everything would dance before myj j&f
eyes , and I would become so dizzy thatt J § |
I would have to hold to a chair to keepr / 1
from falling ; or If I were sitting down } j §
and got up suddenly , everything would ! . m
whirl before me , and I would have toi M
hold to the chair for some little timed If
my memory was so poor that "It was dlf-L MR
flcult for me to remember some of myjl s5&
best friends. This state of things con-T W %
tinued for about a year and a half , and *
kept getting worse and worse ; I could y |
not remember anything : , and my head | r I |
was In a constant whirl ; everythlmr §
swam before me so that life was really' ' 8 | f
miserable. 9 yM
"On the recommendation of some. jffl
friends , I went to my druggist , Mr ' to
Shrader , on Twenty-fourth and Clarlc § j |
streets , and got a box of Pink Pills forr M
trial , and after taking a few doses E ff
began to feel the effects and found ! rf | |
that they were doing me good. "Whenl / "
the first box was gone I got anotherr ' .n j
and another until I had taken four. ( {
boxes and I was entirely relieved- ' f | j
And now , although my memory Is not * if
so good as it was forty years ago , it m
is greatly improved , and Is better than &
many men's memory that are much * / \
younger than I ; my dizziness is entirely - " ,
ly gone , and my nerves are strong as- i
they were ten years ago , and Dr. Wil- ,
Hams' Pick Pills did It too. " t
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pals- _ '
People are now given to the public as" *
an unfailing blood builder and nerve
restorer , curing all forms of weakness
arising from a watery condition of the *
blood or shattered nerves. The pills I
are sold by all dealers , or will be sent j *
postpaid on receipt of price , 50 cents
a box , or six boxes for $2.i > 0 ( they are
never sold in bulk or by the 100) , by

POPULAR SCIENCE , _ _ < , • •
At a recent meeting of the Paris' " %
Academy of Sciences M. Balland presented - -
sented a memoir describing * n analysis j
of a sample of rice over a century old. j
He found the rice only slightly defl- . •
cient in fat. M
Though butterllies are often blown w
out to sea , and have been thought by a
inexperienced observers to belong to a a
different species to the ordinary land ! 'J
butterfly , there are none which can be- f
said to live on the sea. j
It is reported from Paris , where •
pneumatic tires have been introduced f * ?
on some of the cabs , that in conse5i(3 L
quence of the lessened shock to the- BF
vehicles the cost of repair has been. K
reduced fifty per cent , to say nothingX ' |
of the saving to the nerves of passen
gers aud the muscles of horses.
Sir John Lubbock says that the house
fly , which produces the sound F , vl- " * "
brates 20,100 times a minute , or 335 a.
second , and the bee , which makes the-
sound of A , as many as 26,000 , or over-
430 a second. On the contrary , a tired"
bee hums on E , and vibrates its wings-
only 300 times a second. JR
The tongue of the cat family is cov- 7i
ered with recurving spines. In tho- f I
common domestic cat these are small , ' I
but sufficiently well developed to give- J
the tongue a feeling of roughness. In 41
the lion and tiger the spines
are strong- ,
enough to enable the animal to tear
the skin of a man's hand by licking it' ' *
It has been practicable to propogato m.
sugar cane only by cuttings or their i
equivalents , and the lack of seedlings i
has been a difficulty in the way of im- J
provement. From the 200 or 300 varieties - *
*
ties experimentally grown in East fij
Java Mr. J. H. Walker has been able- * ' f
to select a few plants that by crossing- %
have given very good seeds. These 3 *
have given vigorous seedlings , which ' * 'tiL
yield more sugar than the parent • PJ
plants and promise varieties more
profitable than any hitherto known. * m
SUMMER CIRL. ; '
First , remember that a good voice is * * J $
as essential to *
self-possession
as good 4 w
ideas are essential to fluent language. ' ' ' \t \
The voice should be carefully trained x ( /i
and developed : a full , clear , flexible -V *
voice is one of the surest Indications of * * :
good breeding. |
Second , remember that one may be / -
witty withut being popular ; voluble * <
without being agreeable ; a great talker r •
ana yet a great bore. , f
Third , be sincere. One who habitual
ly sneers at everything will not ren
der herself disagreeable to others , but
will soon cease to find pleasure in life.
Fourth , be frank. A frank , open
countenance and a clear , cheery laugh. If
are worth far more even socially than I
"
"pedantry in a stiff cravat. " § " ,
Fifth , be amiable. You may hide a " *
vindictive nature under
a polite exterior -
terior for a time , as a cat masks lt3
sharp claws in velvet fur , but the least
provocation brings out one as quickly
as the other , and ill-natured people are
always disliked.
