"Power of the Press. "
The power of energetic and persistent
advertising is most advantageously shown
in the victory achieved by the" Majestic"
range people over the "Home Comfort"
peddlers. The news comes from Indiau-
ola that "the stove peddlers have wrapped
the folds of their tent around their fancy-
priced 'Home Comfort' and moved
away. "
To S. M. Cochran & Co. of our city
and J. W. Dolan & Co. of Indianola there
is due much credit for the victory won ,
and the money saved and retained at
home.
Intelligent , well-directed and honest
advertising will pay as long as people
have intelligence , judgment and a sense
of right and justice.
Particular attention is called "to this
' selection of children's
season's new ves-
tee suits , two-piece suits , reefer coats and
overcoats. An assorment not only
much larger but considerable lower in
price than the same class of goods can
be bought for elsewhere in southwest
ern Nebraska. Many of the styles are
exclusive and very choice and can only
be had here. Mothers , come and see
them. THE FAMOUS.

Heavy Passenger Train.
What is said to have been the longest
passenger train ever run for business
purposes went out of Chicago Frida\
afternoon over the Burlington. It car
ried the Cook county marching club ,
which cut a wide swath at the exposition
at Omaha. The train consisted of nine
teen cars , seventeen heavy sleepers , and
was pulled by two monster engines.
When the train pulled out of Chicago it
was headed by a monster locomotive , a
new type just introduced by the Burling
ton. Back of this was another engine ol
the powerful class used for hauling the
fast freight and passenger trains. Next
to this was a baggage car. Behind this
came a private car and seventeen first
class sleeping cars. An unexpected stop
was made at Aurora , consuming about
ten minutes of the schedule. From
there to Mendota this huge train equaled
th.e time of the fastest passenger train on
the road. Here Captain Farrell missed
cqunections with his train and it was
necessary to back nineteen cars a dist
ance of five miles to pick him up. At
Burlington the train was cut in two and
proceeded in two sections. Unavoidable
delays were encountered at several
points , yet the big train covered the
distance between Chicago and Omaha ,
over 500 miles , in nineteen hours , count
ing in all stops and delays.
Wheat and Humanity.
Sir William Crookes , in a recent ad
dress to the British Association , stated ,
while reviewing the sources of wheat
production , that presently the demand
will exceed the supply. Not long ago
M. de Nadaillac said the same thing in
another tongue. Their premises differ ,
but the deduction is the same. If these
gentlemen are right , the hour , relatively
speaking , is not distant when there must
begin a struggle for life which will re
sult in a survival of the fittest , providing
always survival there be the clatter
and clash of empires contending not for
China , not for Cubas , not for Cretes , not
for Capes to Cairo , but for bread. A
question remains , however. Are these
gentlemen right ? If so , then , manifestly ,
humanity is in love with an ideal which
is not in love with it. Edgar Saltus in
Collier's Weekly.
