Tit far Tat.
Railroad Corporation Mr. Farmer,
I shall have to appropriate about ten
acres of yonr farm for right of way to
locate and run my road upon, for
which I will allow you what it cost
you and a fair per cent on your in
vestment. FarmerBut, sir, I can't take that
sum.' Land is worth double the orig
inal cost and interest. I must have
my price, or I can't allow you to ap
propriate it.
R. R. C All right ; there is a way
to get it. I shall apply to the govern
ment to exercise the right of eminent
domain, and it .will condemn your
private property to public use, and it,
not you, will fix the price.
Farmer Then I may have to yield,
but I will see you again.'
The land is condemned, the railroad
company appropriates it, all costs are
thrown upon the farmer, and he gets
about half price for his ten acres. A
year passes ; the parties meet again.
Farmer Mr. Railroad Corporation,
I shall have to appropriate about ten
of your freight cars to haul my grain,
hogs and cattle to market, for which I
will pay you the cost of transportation
and a fair interest for your actual in
vestment. R. R. C. Why bless your granger
soul, we can't do business that way.
We shall have to chargo you what the
traffic will bear, and our rates are es
tablished. You must pay our price
or haul your products to market with
your team.
Farmer All right. Thero is a way
to make you transport my property at
fair rates. I will see that legislation
is had to compel you to do it.
R. R. C. No, you can't interfere
with "vested rights" nor cau you com
pel a man to sell, or hire the use of
his private property for any price less
than he chooses to a9k. Can the law
set a price upon your product, your
labor, or your farm ?
Farmer Is your railroad private
property ?
R. R. C. Of course it is ; it is our
own private enterprise as much as
farming is yours, and we have as good
a right to charge all we can get for
service, as you have for corn or pork.
Farmer Very well then ; let us see.
Transportation of persons and prop
erty is a public necessity, and your
franchise was granted for public use.
Admit that the cars, the locomotive
and the rails are private property. I
propose to ask the government to ex
ercise its right of eminent domain and
in the exercise of that right to con
demn yonr private property to the
public use of transportation, and it,
and not you, shall set the price for
such use. It is a poor rule that works
but one way. Chicago Express.

It is claimed in certain political
quarters that President Arthur will
be a candidate for president in 1884.
Such political claimants admit that
President Arthur does not say he will
be a candidate, and possibly he de
nies it; but these political prophets
appear to know it by everything that
a person can do to indicate his pur
poses. They say he is not doing
everything that the politicians want
him to do, and he is doing a great
many things that they do not want
him to do.

far this season cheap lauds will be a

Geo. Bliss, the lawyer of the star
route prosecution who was to get $150

smoothly as be ha3 been calculating
upon. The first auditor of the treas

authority that the Queen's condition

DR. FISHBLATT,
OF
OMAHA MEDICAL DISPENSARY,
ON ACCOUNT OF HIS
Immense Practice in Columbus, Nebr.,
WILL MAKE HIS NEXT VISIT
On FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1883,
AND WILL REMAIN ONE DAY AT THE CLOTHEK HOU.Sf'
WHERE HE CAN BE CONSULTED ON
THE THROAT, and LUNGS, CATARRH, KIDNEY
AND BLADDER AND FEMALE DISEASES. AS WELL AS ALL
CHRONIC AND NERVOUS DISEASES.
DR. FISHBLATT
Has discovered the greatest cure in the world for weakness of the back aud limbs,
involuntary discharges, impotency, general debility, nervousness, languor, confus
ion of ideas, palpitation af the heart, timiditr, trembling, dimness of sfcht or giddi
ness, diseases of the head, throat, nose or skin, affections of the liver, lungs, stom
ach or bowels those terrible disorders arising from solitary habits of vouth, and
gecret practices more fatal to the victims than the songs ot Syrens to the mariners of
Ulysses, blighting their most radiant hopes or anticipations, rendering marriage
impossible.
Those that aro suffering from the evil practices, which destrov their mental and
physical systems causing
JNERVOUS DEBILITY,
the symptoms of which are a dull, distressed mind, which unfits them from perform
ing their business and social duties, makes happy marriage impossible, distresses
me action or ine neart, causing nusnes or neat, depression of spirits, evil forebod
ings, cowardice, fears, dreams, restless nights, dizziness, forgettulne., unnatural
discharges, pain in the back and hips, short breathing, melancholy, tire easily of
company and have preference to be alone, feeling as tired in the morning as when
retiring, seminal weakness, lost manhood, white bone deposit in the urine, nervous
ness, confusion of thought, trembling, watery and weak eyes, dyspepsia, constipa
tion, paleness, pain and weakness iu the limbs, etc., should' consult mc immediately
and be restored to perfect health.
YOUNG MEN
Who haye become victims of solitary vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands of voung men of exalted
talent and brilliant intellect who might otherwise entrance listening sen.itors with
the thunders of their eloquence or wake to ecstacy the living lyre, mav call with
full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married pel sons or young men contemplating marriage be aware or physical
weakness, loss of procreative power, impotency, or any other disqualification speed
ily relieved. He who places himself under the care of Dr. Fishblatt may religiously
confide in his honor as a gentleman, and confidently rely upon his skill as a
physician.
ORGANAL WEAKNESS
Immediately cured and full vigor restored. This distressing artllction which ren
ders life a burden and marriage impossible, is the penalty paid by the victim for
Improper indulgence. Young people are apt to commit excesses from not beine
aware of the dreadful consequences that may ensue. Now who that understands
this subject will deny that procreation is lost sooner by those falling into improper
babitb than by prudent? Besides being deprived of the pleasure of healthy off
springs, the most serious and destructive symptoms of both mind aud body arise
The system becomes deranged, the physical and mental functions weaken. Loss of
procreative powers, nervous irritability, dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart indi
gestion, constitutional debility, wasting of the frame, cough, consumption and death

of the most astonishing cures that were ever known; manv troubled with ringing iu
the ears and bead .when asleep, great nervousnejs, being alarmed at certain sounds
with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of the mind were
cured immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.

and solitary habits which ruin both mind and body, unfitting them for business
study, aociety or marriage. '
