It isn't often that thu benefits of national legislation can be traced directly , yet the enact ments of the last congress will l > e of more direct benefit to the west than has any legislation for years. The law forbidding the giying of rebates will build many Factories in Nebraska that would iisve never been established if it were not for this law. Falls City will have a vinegar factory , the establishment of which can be directly traced to the rebate legislation. There is a repre sentative of a silk concern in Falls City now looking for a lo cation for a western branch of business. Heretofore large con cerns were given rebates that permitted them to ship their raw material and manufactured pro- luct a great distance and still re ceive a good profit. Now , how ever , the rebate is to be cut off. The silk man can ship his raw material from New York to Falls City as fifth class matter. If he continues to manufacture his product exclusively in New York ic will pay five times the freight to supply the Denver , Omaha and Kansas City market that he will pay to ship his raw material as fifth class matter to Falls City , manufacture it here and supply the western trade from the west ern factory. All through the west today there are representa tives of great eastern concerns booking for locations to build branch factories from which to supply their western customers and thereby save the freight which the cutting off of rebates will make necessary. r , : if. * The removal of the duty on what is known as denatured al cohol is another piece of legisla tion that will benefit the west and which will make some men independently rich. Denatured alcohol so adulterated that it cannot be used as a beverage but fit for fuel purposes. The duty on denatured alcohol has been maintained at the instance of Standard oil in order that there might be no competition for gaso- ine. The removal of this tariff will make a cheaper and better "uel than gasoline. Within twelve months denatured alcohol will be more extensively used for fuel purposes than gasoline. The raw material that enters most largely in the manufacture of alcohol is potatoes. The great alcohol manufactures of the fut ure will be located in the potato belt. Several Kansas towns arc preparing to erect factories foi the purpose of supplying the enormous demand that will be created by this bill There is nc better potato country than thai surrounding Falls City. The man or set of men who first pre pare to meet this demand is goin to make a mint of money as well as greatly benefit the town. The man who gets rich is the mar who can see and who dares Very few men recognize oppor tunity when they meet face tc face. All men can recognixf opportunity when they see it ! back- The one who wins in : financial way is the one tha recognizes opportunity before i turns away. * * . * It is interesting to a country bred mar. to watch city folk : celebrate the Fourth. Some o them , a very few , go to some in significant little stream in whicl no fish has been for a centurj and fish the day through. Man : thousands of them go to som < park and sit in the German vill age listening to cheap vaudevilh and drink beer. There wen three hundred and twenty sever thousand street railway fare ; paid in Kansas City on tlu Fourth. Out at Electric park a night there were so many peopli shooting the chutes , listening t < the band drinking beer and cele brating in different ways tha the writer waited until after oni o'clock before he could get a ca down town. Fairmont park ha no beer drinking nor free vaude ville , but is a great sweep o green grass and towering oln trees , Here the sedate city folks and most of the country folk ; spent the day. I saw hundreds of family parties eating theii dinners of fried chicken and cake on the grass. At many of these parties some one , usually tlu preacher , made a little Fourth ol July speech , telling of the daj and its meaning , keeping alive the fires of patriotism and speak ing for a better and cleaner man hood and womanhood. I sa\v hundreds of country girls witli their white dresses , blue ribbons and , best of all , their fellows , listening to the words of the preacher , or sitting with his hat in her lap far apart from the resl and listening to a far more beautiful and interesting story , Somehow or other when I sa\\ these fresh young girls from the country pursuing their simple pleasures in beautiful Fairmont park , and then at night saw hci city sisters at Klectric in the sawdust covered court of the German village , drinking glas for glass with her city fellow , listening to the coarse jokes fron ; the stage , with the odor of stale beer in her nostrils , absorbing all the impurity of hersurroundings , I was very , very glad that I was a country Jake and that my pco' [ ) le were of the narrow , simple kind that furnish so much amuse ment to the finer sensibilities ol the smart alecs of the city. An Appetising Girl. From Life. She's awfully sweet. Her cheeks are like peaches , She has cherry lips. Her breath is nectar. Her hair is like yellow corn , Her eyes are like black berries. She is perfectly delicious in Frence dressing. Her complexion is a delecate cream. I love to toast her. She's a honey. I sometimes feel as though 1 would like to press her to ; i ielly. Hut if I did , would she be cordial ? Tuesday was circus day in town. John Oswald attended the races in St. Joseph. George Jones was in Rule oiu day the past week. 13. F.

International Agriculture. In the rush of the close of tin session of congress so mncl was done that general notic ( was not taken of the action of the senate with regard to the international agricultural insti tute. It will be remembered that a year ago last Febnuirj King Victor Emnnnel of Italy , being persuaded to step b } David Lnbin , a California farm er , called a conference of dele * gates from all civilized nations to draw up a plan for an inter , national institute of agriculture , The idea \vas to form whal should correspond roughly witli a national department of agri culture , the department to be made up of representatives ol all nations and to be worldwide in its scope. The protection ol the world's agriculture by the acquirement and disseminatior of worldwide information ol crop and labor conditions is tc constitute the main purpose ol the organisation. Forty-one nations participated in the con. Terence , and most of these have since approved tlm protocol there drawn up providing foi the formation of a permanrnl bureau. Some apprehension was felt throughout the closinsj days of congress lest the senate should overlook the matter , for that would have left the United States outside of the movemenl whereas its every interest de. mantled that the greatest of all agricultural nations should be in the van The senate did not fall ; the international agricul tural institute with the United States a member will be readj for business by the spring ol next year ; and , as the note issued by the Italian govern , incut puts it. "by tightening tlu bonds of interdependence whicl ] unite the different nations ; i new economic basis will be giv en to the ideal aspirations to. ward . . peace.--Ex. The Limit.

One of the funniest things w ever saw was a huge colored lad walking down the streets of city wearing white shoes and ver. open work white hose. There was a wise man in on town , and he was wondroui wise ; he marked a paper dollar and gaye it all to Li see ; sin went to see the butcher ; ant she blew the dollar in ; it wasn' long before the coin came bacl again to him. He took it to merchant , and bought a pair o shoes for Jane -before the wee ! was over , it came back to hin again ; he spent the coin in ou town fully fifty times or more but he always got it back agaii and spent it o'er and o'er ; bu when he sent the dollar off to ; mail order-store , it was gen for good forever , and he neve saw it anymore. Exchange. Drown In Lake. A number of lives were lost as the result of the collapse oE a boat landing platform at 10J10 : on the night of July 4th near Omaha. The accident was due to a rush of people upon the dock in. an effort to get a boat to the lake where the car line terminus is. The boat dock , which ex tended into the water , from three to seven feet deep , sud denly gave way and a hundred or more men , women and chil dren went into the lake. Great excitement prevailed for a time jut it was thought that all had jecn rescued , though some were iinrl , and later Lena Rosenblum a young woman from Omaha , died from her injuries ; It was not until the work of repairing the dock was begun the next morning that it was cnown that any were drowned. The bodies found were under the timbers of the dock. A number of persons are still re ported missing and it is feared that their bodies will be found in the water. Manawa lake is a pleasure re sort on the Iowa side of the Missouri river about seven miles from Omaha , with which it is connected by an electric car line. The accident occurred at a lutei hour that evening , when the people were crowding the platform in an effort to secure a boat from the bathing beach to the Manawa side of the lake. Bill Hall , the diver at the lake , is still pursuiting , with assistance of others , the work of searching for the dead. It is believed , however , all those drowned have been recovered. No arrest has been made. The question of jurisdiction has en raised. Some claim Sarpy county , Nebraska , has author ity in the matter , and others Pottawiittemic county , Iowa. The liquor selling license is taken out from the latter coun ty , and the coroner of the latter county has taken charge of the bodies. What will be done to ward fixing the responsibility is not certain as yet. . The body of Scott Huff was the last to be recovered. It was taken out afternoon Thurs day. He boarded at 1701 Capitol tel avenue and was a clerk at Bennett's. The greatest excitement pre vailed the moment the platform went down. Unfortunate ones in the water sought frantically to get back to safety or to hang onto some piece of timber , and persons on terra firtna who had friends whom they last saw standing where the accident- occurred tried to get to the water's edge and render aid. Doxens of men threw them selves heroically into the hike to rescue women and take them safely to shore , and the men who went down with the rest were seen to work to save the helpless and terror stricken wo men first. Many persons were injured in the crush whose names will not be known , as they lied Irom the spot as soon as possible. Within another hour the cars returning from Manawa brought watersoaked men and women , shivering in the cold night air , many of them minus portions of their cloth ing" . Entertained.
