I * [ The United States supreme court
H ' has postponed handing down its
B * decision in the Nebraska maximum
R : rate case until October , much to
H the disappointment of many Be
rn braskans. It is , however , understood -
* stood that their decision will be in
favor of the railroads , and that the
! ' decision is postponed on account of
premature publication of the same
I in the newspapers.
If it was the corporations who
M mode Pingree governor for the
purpose of getting rid of him as
K mayor of Detroit , as has been
H hinted , they must be heartily sick
of the job by this time. But it is
I probable that the corporations only
I flatter themselves when they take
I the credit for Governor Pingree's
I promotion. The people of Mich-
y igan seem to have had something
II to say in that matter. Omaha Bee.

Secretary of Agriculture
"Wilson says the system of mak
ing weather forecasts by means of
kite observations has been per
fected to such a degree that dur
ing the coming year he expects to
locate twenty or thirty stations
equi-distant in the region between
the Alleghanies and the Hocky
mountains. Prom the daily read
ings of these kite stations the chief
of the weather service will be able
to construct a chart of the condition
of the atmosphere at an elevation
of one mile throughout a stratum
2,000 miles in width , which will
so strengthen the forecast work
j as to render it of utility to the in-
j dustrial and commercial interests
of the country. Omaha Bee.

years , is not as it should be , butte
to look gloomy and cuss and dis
cuss matters upon the street cor
ners , as many farmers do , is a bad
habit and shows an improper

About Water.
Persons who want to use water at the
cemeteries must apply to the city clerk
for permission. The charges are , $2.00
for a lot , $ r.25 for a half lot or burial
space. The clerk's receipt must be
taken for the sum paid and the receipt
given to the sexton , Howe Smith , who
will see that all lots are properly wa
tered. The contract with the water
works company gives free use of water
for two years , after that for a period of
five years $1.50 will be charged extra
per lot in addition to the $2 00 , which
will be used in paying the salary of the
sexton. The sprinkling season will be
the same as the lawn sprinkling time ,
from April 15th to October 15th ; and the
hours any time during the day except
the hours for lawn sprinkling.
The ladies of the cemetery committee
request that all barrels be removed from
cemetery by the 15th of June. The
ladies want it known also that the
sprinkling of lots must under the con
tract be done by the sexton and not b } '
individuals.
At the meeting , Monday evening , in
the opera house , H. H. Berrry , cemetery
superintendent , explained the terms and
other particulars of the use of water in
the cemetery. It is in brief given else

"Weep not for him who sleeps so low
Within his narrow bed ;
While fragrant breezes gently blow ,
And stars shine overhead.
Weep not for him , no more his eyes
Beam on you as you come ;
In yonder happy world of light ,
He's near the great white throne.
Weep not for him , no more his feet
Tread where he loved so well ;
He's treading now the golden streets ,
With angels now he dwells.
Weep not for him , 'twas God who ga\e
And He has all the right
To call His loved one through the grave ,
To be with Him in light.

Shall leave these scenes of care ;
Triumphant shall the grave pass through ,
And with his glory share" .

Mr. James Rowland of this village , states H
that for twenty-five years his wife has been a H
sufferer from rheumatism. A few nights ago H
she was in such pain thatshc was nearly crazy. M
She sent Mr. Rowland for the doctor , but he H
' ' and instead , M
had read of Chamberlain's I'ain Balm -
stead of going for the physician he went to JH
the store and secured a bottle of it. His wife J
did not approve of Mr. Rowland's purchase - il
at first , but nevertheless applied the Balm ri
thoroughly and m an hour's time was able to I
go to sleep. She now applies it whenever she , 1
feels an ache or a pain and finds that it always * I
gives relief. He says that no medicine which | , 1
she had used ever did her as much good. The r / fl
