Nebraska Senators Crnsa Swords. Washixgtos, Aug. 19. NebraskttV two senators.wcre prominent in the 'de bates before the Senate yesterday 6n the national bank circulation bill. Se ntor Allen made a speech fc favor of an amendment fFdi'ed b' him to sus pend fnttVost on the bonds on which he increased circulation is based. - II stated that if tho biil which mi be fore the senate should become a law and national b-Aiiks were given par valc ot circulation upon bonds depos ited, they should be willing to give the government the interest upon the 10 per cent bonds upon which no circula tion was now given. He argued Hial national bank circulation Vta profita ble and that a great many advantages were accorded to .national banks that were not given to private banking in stitutions. , Senator Mandcrson arose to appose the proposition of his colleague and antagonize some of his assertions re garding the rOal net profit there is in national bank circulation. Hi speech Was a brilliant one, waa extemporane ous throughout ttttdxwas listened tj by. not only every mnn on the fldot of the senate, but crowded galleries.- in replying to assertions that national bank circulation should be abolished and the bioney issued by the govern ment, Senator Mandersen statcdrthat he also favored that proposition. He felt that national banks would willingbjr give 'dp all of their circula tion! as it was not desirable as it was not now profitable, and that fact was proven by the palpable fact that nearly all national banks had taken out the minimum of circulation required by law; that if there was a substantia! profit in national bank circulation the banks Would secure the maximum of circulation instead of the minimum. Senator Manderson said that while he favored the abolition of bank circula tion and the issuance of the money direct from the government, he would not favor the abolition of the national bank system or favor the repeal of the state bank tax, which was a prominent plank in the democratic platform and thcj:eal,aiui .of thcdcniocratiapartyi as state bank circulation would open the door ,to fraud ,and , all sorts of swindles. He declared that no man had ever lost a dollar by holding the currency of national banks. Third Party in New York. Srr.vAX llEAcn, N.

Nothing is of moro help in telling butter at a good price than to have it in neat, clean, attractive looking packages, 6a3'S tho llomcbtuad Of course if tbo butter is taken to the store and traded for dry goods and groceries tho kind of packages docs not make so very much difference, for the price is usually adapted to butter of tho very poorest quality and the most untidy appearance. Those who are satisfied with taking butter to tho country storo and trad ing it will not care to improve their methods of raking, anyhow. They are very easy people to satisfy and the store keeper can pay about what he pleases for their butter so long as he pays tho same price for all, both good and bad. But there are some farmers and dairymen who want to Improve tho quality of their butter and increase the price they are get ting for it. They sell to grocers who will retail it in the original packages to consumers who have learned to appreciate that"" brand, or to private customers. The neater tho package tho better the butter will sell and tho easier to establish a reg- uiar aomanu ior it. ooden pack agos givo good satisfaction.

Col man's Rural S'orldi Timothy' Hay In l'Uco of Wheat. Fal-sotrf timothy is much hardier than is wheat, t'?lc rally on wet land. It often happens ifb'ore the wheat is nearly killed out that the growth of grass makes a good hay crop the samo season. Such grass should be cut early so that what shattering wheat may bo among it will bHiti aa hay rather than as tho straw of ripeiW wficat Where wheat winter kills it is of ltMc u to sow clover seed, as it is cq (tally liable to be thrown out or drownc 1 out. Timothy !to will not keep in tho ground more than' Ono or two years, and will bo replaced by coarse grasses of little value for hay. American Cultivator. Farm Note. Fruit sent to market should be packed so it can't jostle. Make an effort to constantly un prove the quality of the fruit. A mule colt will always sell at some price, though it may be low. Skim-milk, ground oats and mid dlings will make pigs grow rapidly. Sheep that are to be marketed should be well fattened before sell ing. L'ndcr-drainngo is coitly, but some times it almost pays for itself in one season. It is claimed that a slight dusting witfi Uliid aids the keeping quality of potatoes. Strawberries are frequently small and inferior because toj thickly matted in the row. Black knot and the tent caterpillar are best destroyed by cutting olT the affected portions and burning them. Tho results of experiments made in dctasscling corn do not seem to justify a farmer in wasting much time in that way. He can employ himself moro profitably. Tho good farmer will see that tho fertility of his soil Is maintained, atld gradually incroascd from jear to year by rotation, the application of manure and proper drainage. Meat animals arc a surer sale than horses and mules, for people have to eat. o the man who raises good hogs, cattle or sheep economically will generally have a chance for a profit. An agricultural writer claims that a good hay barn holding fifty tons of hay can be erected at a cost of $100 $12o. and not infrequently enough is saved in one year to cover tho cost of the barn. When you are tired in walking after the team, you can believe that ! poriiaps the team may be tired. if you arc riding, it is well enough to think that the horses arc walking and may get tired. lloinn Kthcr will take Hint. out water marks from silk. A lump of sugar saturated with Vinegar will euro hiccoughs. Ilendercd beef fat makes an excel lent piecrust used with butter. Leather bindings will supersede vclvot on the bottom of dress skirts. A little parafiine rubbed on serews will make them enter wood more easily. Diamond ivy loaves and pearl ber ries form long sprays for the front of an evening gown.

Sleeve-, sashes and corselets are made of tho very elegant light velvet shot of two colors called zephyr vel- I vet, or of tho soft, bright satin which goes by the name of liberty satin. Nervous headache may bo greatly relieved by tho application of hot water to tho temples and the back of the neck, particularly if a hot footbath is used at the samo time. Brass should bo cleaned at least once a week. Alcohol, spirits of turpentine, benzino or kerosene will generally rcraovo all ordinary spots on this metal.

There is only ono right way to clean wall paper, and that is with a week-old loaf of bread cut in halves Begin at the top of tho wall and wipe downward, with tho crumb side cf the loaf, making the strokes a half yard or so in length. Never rub crosswise or upward, but always downward. Generally after this operation the paper will look as good as new, -THE- First National Bank OFFICE US. A. AMDEKSOJT, J. II. GALLEY. President.
