Some "stock" is being taken, savs a Beatrice dispatch, in the rumor that the Rock Island Will construct a lino through here it) the south by rea son of the fact that the chief engineer, whiie on a recent visit remarked that tne company was not going to give Beatrice tho "go by." However, tho majority of people consider this as meaning that the company would con tinue to run a "stub" train to Lincoln over the U. 1 to connect with the new main line.

He ha? already gain ed the moat and with his might bat tie ax is pounding at thecastio gate as he would shiver it in splinters witn his ponderous blows?" Aye. aye. Horatio. I see. I see it aii too plainly, and tho sight doth make the shivers chase each other up my spinal column. But Horatio, he has no science: this burlev Knight of ' 'G'J.

Stop: Horatio! Utter that word again, and by the spirit of old Hick ory .iacKson Iii turn your picture to t'ne wail forever. Know you mil. fool ish boy. tnat or the lonen of ihat ac rurscd word tr.is present evil is now com upon me? Never speatc that j word to me again, cood friend, as vou 1 wouid have my biessinir in the years to eoihe.

' ate jailer legged chickens from house do hiss at tho very word calamity, and td house two years ago, in Marshall say that I have slandered all tho' com monwealih. And so I say, Horatio, speak not that word to me again." But my iord. by this same evil token which you now despise, you ;pianted your banner on these castle walls two years ago. And will yeu now turn tail and run. and let them kill the goose that laid your golden esg? Brace up my iord and have some spunk!

There was a time wnen I couid pi ay that smile upon the multitude, and even us a warm sunbeam kissing a oaoy s chuooy face will mriKe him dream of angels, so that same smile of miuo shod out across the gaping Crowd.

But alas! Horatio, the Grecian smile hath lost i;5 grip, and tile curving gestures no longer weaves the wanted speil upon tne crowu. Horatio whatever oc tne issue of this uncertain hour, remem ber ine. that I was eloquent. And if this bold young tariff slugger doth o'ercome here, then hang my picture on tho wail, and in the coming years when you have wed. and curly-headed babes ciimb upon your knee, then point them to the picture, uoou Ho ratioi Hnd ay that I wns eloquent." Take iuv:i Your Falc Co": or and I'lit ii Your Ticket an You .'Iran It. The independent press df the state are carrying at tho head of their col umns what they call their state ticket: For Governor. C. H. VAX WYCK. For Lieutenant Governor, C. D. SHliADEK. But that ticket is a deception. It does not convey the roal meaning of the Van Wyck and Shrader move ment. Their ticket should read: For U. S. Senator, C. II. VAN WYCK. For Gdverndr, tl. D. SHIIADEH. Van Wyck is hot running for goT briidr. Everybody Knows that. Van Wyck has no ambition to be governor and remain in Lincoln among the peo ple of this state. His ambition aii points toward Washington City, where his home is. and where his principal property and money interests are. The oniy personal effects of his that aro purely of Nebraska, is the old bine coat that he has worn for years while among the farmers, in sham humility, ns a decoy to capture the farmer vote. And it is Shrader who Is the real can didate for governor.

If the Swedes of Nebraska were overgrown chuckle headed boys, as the calamity leaders seem to havo sized them up. then an appeal to their sensitiveness on such a childish proposition might avail to arouse their anger against the republican party. But in tho first piace no one knows for sure that such a thing was said. In ihe second place no ono knows who said it. In the tnird piace everybody knows that if it was said, it was said by some hot headed fool, who is not in a position to control or renre.-ent the republican nartv, and iastiv the Swedes of Ne braska are not mere grown up cnildren j that they should take offense on so flimsy a pretext.

Has he talked about tho epiendiu achievements of his own state in its material development?

When did the brilliant young man" ever truer to his vn and mag nificent audiences" in other state?, a word of praise for Nebraska? Has he ever stood up for Nebraska, and has he ever advertised the fact that more poor men have started here and oe come well to do in thu last decade than in any other state on the face of the earth? Has he ever told that to his audiences? Or has the general force of his eloquence been turned against Nebraska and against its reputation? Let him answer how he has used his talents. Let him now account for his stewardship tand Vp r cbrakn 'Stand up for Nebrasica," says Judge Field df Lincoln. Stand up for NebrasKa." says young Andrews of Hastings. "Stand up for Nebraska.' says Jim Whitehead of Broken Bow. And the three congressmen cowards who slandered the state in congress and advertised its people as paupers are now dodging the brickbats of truth and denying that they ever were calamity howlers. Bryan now tries to recall the slander, and with graceful bows and smooth gestures he stam mers out a faint eulogy on his sturdy constituency for what they have ac complished. McKeighan chucks the farmer under the chin and prophesies that he wiil be able to keep the woif from the farmer door a few years yet, if he, McKeighan, is returned to congress.

In the meantime the people aro doing a iittie standing up on their own ac count and they will never again en trust the reputation of the state with men who will seil it for a salary of 25.000 per year. iUrl&eig'.iaiit ii- - le Maiiderer.

LOUIS CAENIYAL.I MARKED INCREASE IN THE AT TENDANCE AND ENTHU SIASM AT THE EXPOSITION- Arrangements for the Veiled rrophet" Reception, I'arnile and Kail Excep tionally Low Itallroad Kale St. Louis, Sept. 22. The Expositon has now been open about one-third of its ninth s asttfl and the attendance up to date is by far the best on record. Gilmore's magnificent band of 100 pieces is giving four concerts daiiy, and although there are 4,0CO scats in the Music hall,- a vacant scat during any portion of any oflc of the concerts is,very unusual. The general features of the Exposition are voted by visitor Irom all parts of the country, as well as from Europe, as remarkable both for their beauty and costliness and also for the great variety, so many attractions hav irg been rarely collected together in one building. The exhibits of manu factured goods, of electrical and me chauicnl triumphs and high class fvorks of art are all first clas; and any onev department would provide a Erst class Exposition. The next illumination will be given an Thursday, Sept. 29, when all tho slectrical panorama and pyrotechnic displays will be in full working order. Tlie carnival will be at its height at the" opening of October, for on the afternoon of Oct. 1 the Veiled Prophet will arrive by boat and be received by a strong military guard. Heretofore the Veiled Prophet has ar rived secretly and has not been seen until he appeared in the parade, but a iW uandmaster oiMior.n. A mark of his appreciation of the ex traordinary attractions this year he will arrive by water and will hold a re ception at the Exposition building dur ing the afternoon. Veiled Prophet's day is Tuesday, Oct. I, when there will be one of the largest crowds in St. Louis ever collected in a Western city. The details of the parade are kept a secret, but it Is generally known that the pageant will be much more costly this year than ever before, and as over six miles of streets will be Illuminated on Veiled Prophet's night the combined attractions will be magnificent to a de gree. All the railroads arc making very low rates to St. Louis and intending visitors should apply at once to the nearest station agent to ascertain on what days round trip tickets can be ob tained. Advance in All Kind of ltns. Nnw Yohk, Sept .10- It is not alone that the public health is jeopar dized by the ravages of cholera in foreign lands and its threatened inva sion of this country, but business in terests arehkeiy to be affected thereby. Aircady it is stated that in consequence of quarantine on rags, ihere has been a rise in print paoer, and that this is but the forerunner of a greater advance in the near coming future. The pa per manufacturers of this country de pend largely for their raw material upon countries now aftlicied with or threatened with cholera, and as the quarantine already placed upon this ciass of goods is likely to be prolonged indefinitely, there is no telling how radical may bo tho advance in the price of print paper from time to time. Large consumers and dealers are talc ing all they can get at the advanced ruling rate, but are not able to piaco contracts for the future on the same basis, manufacturers not caring to give figures while the quarantine re mains.
