After Uio Russians liavo enticed the Jnps Into Now Chwang , Uiolr next ntop will bo to lure thorn Into Mukden. The cup of the people's happiness will never l > o full nnil running over ' until thnt time arrives when the skil let will again stink of fresh boot. Bonestcol can thnnk the thugs and gamblers who have boon there for making that town the host advertised town In the country providing they like that sort of advertising. The World-Herald probably refers to the dish of crow served up to the democrats at St. Louis when It says : "The untutored Ignrroto who Insisted on having dog meat has the laugh on us now. " Denver has done sonic sweltering thfs summer In total Ignorance of the fact that there Is a lake of solid ice within forty-five miles of the city. The Ice trust may bo expected to got hold of the property ahd olther keep the people nwiiy from It , or cut It up in chuncks and pass ( t out to , Uiem at so much per. It was not so important that the nominees of the prohibition party should bo notified of the action of the convention , as that the voters of the country should bo kept enlightened on the results of that meeting. In Uic Interest that Is likely to center In the main circus this fall , the little side show may bo forgotten. New Jersey claims to have at last lound a euro for the Insect pest and It is not through the use of coal oil or anything of thnt sort , but by the drainage of the marshes and bogs that have furnished a prolific breed ing place for the llttlo pests. With all the scientific research that has been given to the subject heretofore , It is rather strange that this simple method should not have presented W oelf to the investigators. After Wednesday there should be < jvn increased demand for north Ne braska lands. The air castles that thousands have been building on a South Dakota claim will have col lapsed by that time , and they will bo ready to listen to reason and build up respectable homes on the flatterIng - Ing Inducements that north Nebraska has to offer. North Nebraska lands are unequalled for Investment , and those who buy In time will be more certain of n winning than hundreds who will succeed In pulling out a South Dakota claim from Undo Snin's lottery. The censorship on Mrs. Maybrlck's movements are evidently as rigorous as regarding the war operations in the far east. A report that she had sailed for the United States was promptly followed by a statement . that her whereabouts were unknown , and preceding both was a statement that she would not cross the ocean to America. The people should rlso In their might and demand the truth , the whole truth and nothing but the truth. An affair of such importance as this should receive the conscien tious consideration of reliable cc/rres- / pendents. It Is bothering some of the former admirers of Mr. Bryan to know what to do , now that it Is up to them whether to follow him over to the gold standard and plutocracy or get Into the band wagon with Watson and Tlbles and show the people that there Are yet quite a respectable following who believe In turnout principles. On the theory they have hold In the past that whatever Drynn did was right , they should have no scrupled over following him Into the ranks of the enemy nnil hohnoblng with I'orry Del- mont and other Influential factorB In the Wall street crowd. The greater part of the editorial Hpace of Congressman Hitchcock's paper In being devoted to urging fu sion on the popultBtfl which , until the eighth of August , IB llkoly to main tain Its place an the paramount lasue , and It will succeed unless the popu lists are awnko to the opportunity 'that presents Itself In thin Important year to establish their Independence. Wonderful arguments are being pre sented as to why the | K > pullsts should continue IIH an adjunct to the demo cratic party where their votes are sadly needed , but the action of the democratic national convention and of Mr , llryan In n counter argument that many populists will not swallow , and If there IH fusion they will ( lock to the republicans In larger droves than during any previous campaign. The republicans are not llkoly to wor ry over the action of the opposition. If there IH fusion the republican ranks will bo strengthened to meet the battle , and If there IH no fusion they are much more llkoly to help out ono or the other of the opposition tickets. The domocrntH are charging the republicans with nttomptlng to lend the , populists away from the prospect of fusion. Perhaps , In all common BOUSO , the republicans have IIH much right to ask them not to fuse as the democrats have to urge such a plan upon them. The democratic party has proven a very poor guardian of the populists , and they' might not find It unprolltablo to listen to the republicans a tlmo or two. When the democrats began advising fusion the populist party was growing like a rag wood In July and had prospects of at an early date proving a formidable antagonist to the party In power. But they listened to the voice of democ racy which had nothing to lose and everything to iilu. From the tlmo fusion was effected the two parties to the combination have been losing strength , and the populists have lost about thrco to the democrats ono and In this supreme test when the popu list national ticket should receive n largo acquisition from the fusion ranks It will bo a safe hot that all the original democrats will line up for Parker and Davis , as Mr. Bryan has done , while they will permit their former allies to tight out their own battles. If the populists wish to maintain a state party they will llnd that thcro Is no opportunity like the present for asserting their Independ ence. If they wish to continue their fusion with the democrats they will llnd that the republicans , as In the past , will bo able to win over the combination , particularly on the ofll- ces that the democrats most hope to gain. At Sault Sto. Marie , Mich. , today representatives of the local building and loan associations of America are In session. These men , coming from every state In the union , are Interest ed In ono of the most Important move mouts of America. They are from companies that have done business amounting to $000,000,000 , which means thnt since the movement start ed thousands of wage earners and men of small Incomes have Improved the opportunities afforded for ac quiring n homo of their own , and many others have taken stock merely for the Investment. No Influence has contributed rnoro toward making America a country of homes than have these companies. Formerly , un less the head of a family could save enough from his wages to buy a home , ho was destined to move along In a rut , paying rout all his life. Now , with enough of an Investment to make his loan secure , ho may buy or build and pay for his home with the same money ho formerly paid out for rent , with only the satisfaction of a roof to cover his family as his returns for the payments. Thous ands of homes In America have boon built through these associations and thousands of home-owners created. At the safe time the men with money to loan find these associations a good Investment , and they are therefore n valuable Intermediary between the men who want to own homes and the men who want to loan their money on safe security to the homo builders. Anyone who has an ability to pay rent Is able to some day own his home by saving enough to make the loan secure to the association , but many have been paying rent for years without a thought of getting ahead through 'this ready means. More are Improving the opportunities afforded each year , however , and It Is to be expected that In tlmo the majority of the people with' steady In comes and a desire to save will own homes. Judge Parker may not dcRlro to Bpcnk out for himself , but It IB Bald that Perry llelmont will not bo averse to doing the talking for him , and his money will anoint In the talking. Now that the democrats hnvo chos en n national chairman and the re- publlcanH have told their candidate that ho IH It , the campaign may bo mild to bo fairly ouen and the battle on , The dcmocratB may admit that Senator Davis Is too old for the office of vice president , but they will hardly admit that bin mlllloiiH will not con tribute slnowH of war to the Parker campaign fund. Again hnH "Undo Joe Cannon shown an ability to make a pleasing and utrong speech and his friends and admirers have Increased re markably Blnco ho told President UooHovolt that he WOH It yesterday. There are a few loft In the country who did not register In for a chance at the Hosobud reservation drawing , hut preferred to take a risk on north Nebraska property with much better chances of winning. Dave Hill IB said to-havo admitted that Judge Parker could not have been nominated If his position on the money question had been known early In the campaign. In other words , he felicitates himself on hav ing pulled the wool over the eyes of the democratic delegates ; hut he will llnd It more difficult to thrust his man on the voting public. Next week Norfolk will entertain the firemen of the state and their friends , and It Is expected to turn the city ever to them to do with ns they please , knowing from previous experience that they will treat It well and return It as good as new with no thumb marks or scratches. They are a jolly lot of lire-fighters and the city Is well pleased to act In the ca pacity of host. With the sinking of a British steamer , loaded with goods consigned to a firm hearing an American name , It Is not Improbable that the Russians will have a couple of powerful and stubborn nations to settle with In addition to the settlement that must be made with the Japanese. It will bo found thnt either of them are as capable of attending to their Inter ests as are the Japanese. Some of the democrats have started In early to tell how they are going about It to elect Parker and Davis , but a largo number of those whose support they are looking for , are are waiting for an Introduction to the two gontlemcn. They are told that they are the right sort , but the record of the candidates' In helping the public to anything that Is good Is somehow'lacking. The matter of fusing or not fusing will be settled by the democrats and populists nt their joint meetings at Lincoln on August 10. Meantime the other politicians of the state will con tinue to wonder whether the popu lists will again consent to live In de mocracy's house , with Parker and his gold plank , after they have been so nearly divorced by the action of the two parties In national conven tion. Secretaary Wilson has estimated the value of the farm crops this sea son at $4,500,000,000 , which Is a snug llttlo sum to be handled by the In dustrious tillers of the soil. With nothing to interfere during the next month or six weeks Nebraska will add her full quota to this magnificent sum , and with the Increase In the number of acres placed under culti vation , there will be added amounts placed to the credit of this state In the general summing up. With the Rosebud drawing over af ter a few days , beginning tomorow , the Nebraska real estate men would like to interest disappointed holders of numbers In Nebraska property that will prove of real and Increasing value. Not many actual farmers have their property on the market , because they realize its value and want to hold It for themselves , but consider able of the land Is In the hands of speculators and not yet under culti vation , and this , when It can be se cured at the average value of Nebras ka soil , will prove a fortune to the Investor , and particularly if he is looking for a farm home. The Daily Bee , of Sacramento , Cal. , Is another democratic newspaper that cannot see Its way clear to support Parker , and has declared for Reese velt. The Bee would like to bo loyal to Its party , but It has such firm con victions on the trust question that It would prefer being found a deserter to the party ranks than an adherent of the cause of the trusts. It finds that the trusts do not want Roosevelt velt , while they do want Parker and will bond every effort to got him Into the chair In the presidential office , but the editor does no't pro- PORO to bo an aid to the trusts and tin enemy to the people ; rather than desert the cause of the public In this content , the Bee prefers to go back on the party that It has respected andworked for. The Kearney Democrat and the Plattfimouth Journal have been at war over the quewtlon of which was the original Parkqer paper of Ne braska. The Democrat argued for the Now York jurist something like a year ago , but the Journal claims to have been In the Parker band wag on for considerably more than n year. The World-Herald hopes hint the dls- puto will bo settled without bloodshed - shod , and takes the occasion to re mind the newspaper men that In the scrimmage they should not forgot Col. Maher Is really the original Parker - kor man of the state. Great Britain Is getting real mad over the action of the Russians , and the llrst thing that Is known there will bo a merry round up between the lion and the hear and a bear that IB more or less seriously wound ed nt that. Conditions are almost ns foretold by a Japanese strategist that the war In the far east would re sult In a world-wide war and that Russia would bring the other pow ers Into It. This performance on the high seas appears to bo a de liberate attempt to get the British government mixed In the trouble , and It may succeed to the eminent dis satisfaction of Russia , If the army and navy officers of the czar are not more careful regarding their action toward British possessions and prop erty. The fact that the trusts and cor porations have found It possible to operate all through the Roosevelt ad ministration without forcing strikes and lockouts will argue against them with thinking people If the strike re cently Inaugurated wore Intended to get the people dissatisfied with the Roosevelt administration. Some of the unthinking ones may tax the ad ministration with responsibility for the strikes , but the majority of them will find ample reason why the mil lionaires should wish to create senti ment against the republicans and In favor of Parker , and will hold to their purpose of re-electing President Roosevelt so that ho may further ad vance his plans for aiding the people in opposition to the Interests of Wall street. With the calling out of the textile workers In the Fall River district on account of the threatened reduction In wages , there are now many thous ands out of employment In certain sections of the country , but If the strikes are to continue It Is likely that the majority of them will find work In other channels. Up to the present time there has been gener ally more work than workmen , and the want columns of the newspapers have been loaded with advertise ments for men and women desiring positions. Thousands will be taken care of If the strikes continue , but for a healthy condition of the two In dustries It is to be hoped that they will not stretch out Indefinitely. With the meat packers and textile manu facturers stocked up on products of their industries , the laying idle of the plants will work no hardship to them , and if the employes are ready to do what their hands find to do , It Is probable that the strike will not be serious on their account , as a busy season Is coming with the fall and If the packers and textile makers can not use the help they have had , other Industries will take large numbers of them so that the employes may not be available when they are want ed. President Roosevelt's speech of ac ceptance Is notable for Its cleanness , freedom from words that cause wounds and sentences that stir up strife and passion. Ho treated the opposition with uniform courtesy , threw no slurs or made no criticisms of the leaders. It Is to be hoped that the president's remarks on the occa sion will be the key-note of the cam paign in that particular and thnt the republicans will conduct the battle on a high plalne and with sobriety. The party and Its leaders and its policies will necessarily be subject to criticism , but it is not necessary that there should be Invective , slan der and abuse. The fight can just ns well be conducted with dignity on both sides and the people will be just as highly edified and their Inter ests protected as though the cam paign Is Intense and bitterly parti san. MEDICINE OF THE FUTURE. It Is probable that In the future , and not in the very distant future either , the duties of physlcinas will be on an altogether different order from what they are today , and that , Instead of prescribing medicines , they will do their doctoring by regulating the diet of their patients. It Is now a recognized fact that what patients cat Is almost as Important as the medicine itself In affecting a cure. It Is also known that a natural appetite , well controlled , will dictate about the proper food for the physical well be ing of a proson , but It should bo pos sible to bring the dietary up to a point of efficiency that will keep people ple healthy without the use of drugs. Most drugs , It Is true , are taken from nature's great vegetable kingdom , but the average person does not know whore and how to get them in the form of food that Is palatable and ef ficacious. With people able to choose what their system requires and mak ing proper changes at the times such changes are needed to keep the sys tem In order , there should bo no need of other medicine. Most of the Ills of man come through the stomach , and Ignorance of the effect of what Is eaten or drunk , Is to blame for nu merous complaints. Vegetables1 fruits , bread-stuffs and meats con tain that which is essential to .some but poisonous to others , and many are required to learn from bitter ex perience what scientists should bo able to tell them on the start that which Is for their physical good. The food of the every-day menu has acids , sugars and other attributes of good or 111 to humanity , but recently sci entists have taken up an Inquiry whether or not their beneficial sub stances can be abnormally enlarged , or that a certain variety of vegetable , differently raised and cultivated , might not be made to answer the pur poses of several varieties of medicine1 The probability that the health of people may he governed by what they eat affords a very interesting theme for the prophetic eye , but it Is safe to believe that the doctors already know much on this subject and that some of their most remarkable cures are effected by telling their patients what they should eat , rather than through the medicines they prescribe. But people would be unwilling to pay for this Information alone , and to make their bills seem right they pre scribe some harmless drug to make the patient believe that he is being doctored. Much of the physicians' practice comes from those who are not only careless as to what they eat , but of how much or how little is eat en , and the majority of the complain ing ones are adcustomed to eating too much , If they but realize It. For such , the physician of the future will not only prescribe what to eat , but will do it up in rations , so that the taking of the medicine cannot be overdone. When the happy day ar rives that people will be Informed on how much and what their Individual physical condition requires that they should eat , It Is believed that an Ideal existence will he reached , and that the people will live happier and long er than nt present when It is only considered necessary to diet while un der a physician's care. Perhaps , how ever , the plan will never be a success as long as people eat pie and drink whiskey and go to other excesses , re alizing full well that in the end the Indulgences will kill them. What the present day patients want is a doctor who will keep them well and permit them all the excesses that their ap petites desire. Real estate activity in Nebraska is beginning remarkably early this season , and no doubt the result Is due to the splendid advertisment that the state has received during the Rosebud rush. Usually from June until October there Is very little doIng - Ing In the transferring of farming and residence property , but this year there is quite a remarkable display of activity before the close of July and It Is expected that this will lead up to an unusually good season for those who have property for sale and do the transferlng. Visitors from the east have been astonished at the re markable showing of fertility In a state they have heretofore considered uncertain in the matter of crop pro duction and are more surprised to learn that this Is but an average year for the production of crops ; that many seasons have given more abundant yields than Is promised this year , and very few have been be low In the matter of promise. Tlifie has been too much rain 'this year for the best results , nn l there have been many seasons that were perfect In every way and produced enormously. While the visitors themselves have been favorably Impressed , they art taking back to their friends In the east wonderful stories of Nebraska' advantages as a farming state and thousands of them who have been tilling the effete soil of the east ami giving the greater part of of the prod uct to the land owner , will bo more than eager to come to Nebraska and get a farm for themselves of superior quality and productive capacity. All of Nebraska will benefit to some ex tent , but the northern portion is cer tain to have the best results as it IK the least developed portion and there were more who saw what It was ca pable of than the southern tmlf. There Is no renw > n In the world why nqrth Nebraska should not support three or four times as many people than now make It their homo and make wealth In addition to the citi zens. The tide Is now started In this direction and before another year Is passed there should be a doubling of the population In the now northwest. There will be a lively demand for farm property beyond a reasonable doubt , and a consequent demand for business and residence property of the cities and towns. The llrst In will get the best bargains. Deafness Cannot be Cured by loca ! applications , as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to euro deaf ness , and that la by constitutional f J remedies. Deafness Is caused by an y Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tubo. When this tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing , and when It Is entirely closed , deaf ness is the result , and unless the In flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition , ' hearing will bo destroyed forever ; , nlno cases out of ten are caused by catarrh , which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness ( caused by catarrh ) that cannot bo cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu lars free. F. J. Cheney & Co. , To ledo , O.
