THROUGH ROCK BLUFF
Hard Work on New Line of Elkhorn

uiout , Elkhorn & Missouri Vixlloy rail-

the Boo of Friday. General Manager
Eidvvoll has just returned from the scene
of the work und says that the attack on
the solid rock bluff which must bo out
through just west of Nlobraro , was made
Wednesday nt noon.
A big force of men is nt work , but it
will take fully four inontha to complete
this stupendous cut through uolid rock.
It is right along the bank of the Mis
souri river in n bluff , in which n niohe
will bo out for the roadway. The
Btrotch is n little more thau a uiile in
extent nud is the most dillloult piece of
work of the outiro lino.
"That is the finest piooo of engineer
ing I ever saw iu my Ufa" finid Mr.
Bldwbll. "Tho engineers bnvo boon
cross-Eectioiring in that mile oC rock for
fourteen days now nnd have only 800
feet completed. It will take them six
weeks yet merely to finish cnm-Rectiou-
ug. About 100,000 oubio yards of rock
must be torn out of that bluff before wo
nre through with it. "

Institute at Lexington.
William Horuor , Claude Smith nud
L. W. Hawkins , the local committee on
the farmers' institute recently bold nt
Lexington give the following resume
indicating what may bo expected by the
farmers of Norfolk nnd vicinity Friday
nud Saturday of next week :
"Hon. M. F. Grooloy spoke of the
purposes of the institute. Ho explained
that a greater effort towards mutual
interest nnd harmonious QO-oporntiou
among the farmers was one of the chief
purposes of the organization. Its edu
cational advantages , loading to a more
eoioutlQo knowledge of soil , and varia-
gated farming was ulso observed.
"Plain Foods and Plain Living,1 a
very important part of the program ,
was eloquently handled by Mrs. Bertha
D. Laws , of Minnesota. All who bad
the pleasure of bearing this lady wore
very highly pleased.
"Mr. Greeloy was again called upon
and spoke on 'Landed Homos. ' It em
braces material worthy of most serious
consideration.
"Tho announcement of 'Tho Amer
ican Girl In the Homo1 by Mrs.
Laws , who bad before won the admira
tion of all , brought out n full house.
Her audience embraced largo numbers
of high school girls , teachers , professors
and others of culture.
"Tho affair was very profitable. Tbo
farmer's institute iu a commonwealth
like Nebraska , depending almost entirely
upon agriculture and stock-raising , is
not appreciated as it should bo. Its as
sistance and encouragement should not
bo confined to the farmer , but to everyone
ono who possesses any business interest
iu the state. Lot it bo hoped , therefore ,
that in the future more attention will
bo given to thin enterprise. "
Question Answered.
Yes , August Flower still has the larg
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and your grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for indigestion or biliousness.
Doctors were scarce , and they seldom
heard of appendicitisnervous prostration
or heart failure , etc. They used August
Flower to clean out tbo system and stop
fermentation of undigested food , regulate >
late the action of , the liver , stimulate
the nervous and organic action ot the
system , and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bed with headaches
and other aobes. Yon only need a few
dosea of Green's August Flower , in
liquid form , to make yon satisfied there
is nothing serious the matter with yon.

The Difference.
If the editor makes n mistake ho haste
to apologi/.o for it , but if a doctor makes
a mistake ho buries it.says nu exchange.
If wo make ouo there is n lawsuit , tall
swearing and a smell of burning sulphur ,
but if the doctor makes one there is n
funeral , cut flowers aud a smell of var
nish. The doctor can use a word a foot
long , but if the editor wants to use it he
has to spell it. If the doctor calls to see
another man's wife bo will charge the
man'for the visit. If the editor calls on
another man's wife ho gets a charge of
buck shot. Any medical college can
make a doctor. You can't make an ed
itor. Ho bos to be born ouo. When the
doctor gets drunk it is a case of "over
come by the beat , " aud if ho dies it is a
case of heart failure. When the editor
gets drunk it is too much booze and if he
dies it is a case of delirium treaious.
Material Arriving.
The two new side tracks nre completed
and material for the extension has been
shoved on to them. In n short time
large force of men will bo employed to
unl uxd the oars as fast as they arrive.
It is safe to say that the iron horse will
whistle for Niobrara before the first of
