Drouth sufferers in the western part of this state who do not wish to leave the state have sent a petition to the board of transportation asking that railroad rates into their territory be materially lessened, so that they may ship in grain for themselves and stock for the winter, and thereby hold their farms. The board considers the re quest not unreasonable, and will prob ably comply in this instance if it finds it has the power. Adolph Rosburgand S. G. Samuelson, two prosperous farmers living three miles northeast of Spencer, have just completed arrangements for putting down an artesian well on their farms to be used for irrigation. This will be the first attempt to get a flowing well in Boyd county. It is thought that no trouble will be had to get a good How in about s'00 feet, as it is less than twelve miles from the well at Fort Randall, S. D. The coroner's jury, after two days session of investigation of the cause of the death of ex-County Treasurer Pius Neff of Dakota county, whose body was found in Crystal Lake, has returned a verdict that deceased came to his death by accidental drowning. Although public sentiment differs very much with the decision there is no positive or circumstantial evidence sufficient to prove otherwise than that such was the case. An old farmer named Garrett living near Kenesaw, committed suicide by putting the muzzle of a double-barreled shotgun in his mouth .and pulling the triggers by a stick. Garrett was an old soldier who went to Texas about three years ago, returning last year. His crops last year and thisyear were complete failures and, as Garrett had lost about all the property he had in Texas, he is supposed to have pondered over his troubles until he decided on j suicide. While Alfred Geist and family were riding down a hill in the country about I two miles from West Point the tonguo broke close to the wagon, throwing I Mr. Geist and his two children out upon the ground. Mr. Geist was caught. in the reins and dragged and run over, receiving several bad cuts about the head and had a rib broken. His 0-year-old boy was caught between the spokes of the wheel, which revolved several times, breaking an ankle. In taking a trip through the country this week, says the Ragan News, we called on our old-time friend Johnny Fallon, and found him engaged with his irrigating appliances. He is fixing to irrigate twenty acres by a four-inch cylinder pump and a twelve-horse pow er engine, the water first entering two mammoth tanks, each with a capacity of nearly 10,000 barrels, from which pipes lead to convenient parts of the field and there intersect with ditches, which carry it through every portion of the field. A rather ludicrous scene transpired at the Congregational church last feun- windows. A. B. Jonnson's horse was hitched opposite one of the windows, and in some manner while fighting Hies, became entangled in the harness, rolled over and crashed entirely through the basement window and landed on its back in the middle of the floor. Grant Wiggins, colored, was arrested at Beatrice and iriven a hearing in F!n. - : (cured, .tones was sent to the asylum - cured, .tones last March, but was there before that in 1S10. His home is' in Glenover. The naked body of ex-County Treas urer Pius Neff of Dokata county, was found in Crystal Lake last week bv two fishermen. He left home Wednes day afternoon, saying he was going bathing. There are suspicions of foul play, as there are several bruises on his head. He was a pioneer resident and a wealthy citizen. He leaves one daughter. The school board of Lincoln has on hand a first-class row between a former principal of one of the city schools, J. G Penster, and Mr. Lewis, a mem ber of the board. Charges of immoral ity and general misconduct have been made by both parties. -r'flER-r' WMTHW' T was a new sen sation to Dolly this perfect, beautiful happi ness. It seemed to her that some wonderful new brightness must have settled down over the World. And i t Was duly this morn ing that she had dnsted the old brown dress and tried to brighten it With a fresh Collar arid pink bow. 'Only this morning scarce ly twelve hours ago she had pinned on the brown hat, with its dejected "droopy" bows, and wondered if she must walk about under it all the sum mer. And now it was all away' back in the pitiful past For at noon a telegram had come for her. She was eating her lunch, so daintily put up by Aunt Harriet, when the messenger-boy came into the little back room of the millihery storc and handed her a yellow en velope. "It is all right Coming to-morrow. Rohert." That was all; but oh, the meaning of it! It meant an end to the years of weary waiting. It meant comfort and happiness and rest and the ful fillment of countless lovely dreams. And it meant that an heir had been found at last by the puzzled lawyers, and that the fortune of the old West ern miner would no longer go a-begging for some one to use it. For the miner's will had called for "the son of my friend Garrison Brent,'' and Robert was the fortunate mart. Dolly's hands were not quite steady that afternoon, when she fitted one after another of the pretty hats over her cousin Kitty's yellow bangs, and Kitty was hard to please. "You ain't interested, Dolly; your eyes are dreamy. Do you know Robert is coming home? Amy told me; thej had a telegram. He is the heir; isn't he rich? But he's had a hard time taking care of his mother and sisters and Mrs. Brown's children. That one is a little too close; try a flaring brim." Dolly bought another hat and patiently laid the blue feathers around it. "Maybe you'll be getting married now," Kitty said, smiling under the drooping plumes, "now that Robert is a rich man." Dolly flushed and bent over the hats on the counter. "It looks like it's time." Kitty went on, "if you are engaged, as people say. But long engagements rarely ever end in mirriage, mother saj's. Yes. this one will do. Get it feady by Sunday, Dolly; and I nearly for got mother told me to ask if Aunt Harriet is through with fcor head ache." But it was not or her pretty cousin that Dolly thought now, as she lay in the hammock under the low spreading magnolia-tree down by the gate. She was resting and thinking of th-j blessedness of this new world that had formed itself about her the world that held Robert all her own, and a home that she would make beautiful for him. It was twenty years since Robert, standing by her under this very tree, all in blossom then, had told her the sweet storv that everv maiden miis "ITS AGAINST THE HULKS, MISS DOM.T," UK SAID. hear. Twenty years! She had been a slip of a girl then, awkwardly con scious of her first long " dress; and Robert, a boy scarcely older than herself, had blushed and stammered over the story that is never easy to tell. And then his father had died, and his mother and sisters; and, later on. a family of little orphaned nephews and nieces had been left to him. Dolly was the first to say they must wait She could see how impossible it would be for Robert to take care of them all. He left school and worked bravely on the old farm, and the wait ing had gone on. So twenty years crept away. Dolly had remained in her aunt's home, helping with, the children at first, and afterward working down town: for her aunt's daughters needed every thing, now that they were grown up. and Dolly was used to looking out for herself. And now the waiting was over at last, and she would be Robert's wife. She would rather have waited for this than to have been a queen long ago. It seemed to her that the very leaves knew and trembled, as she did, with joy: and the stars twinkled down between them as if they, too, knew all about it The town clock struck ten and Patty and Ben came in from the reading club. They always lingered a little at the gate, as the manner of lovers is, you know. Dolly smiled as the soft murmur of their voices came to her. She won dered if the poor young things would ever be as happy as she was then! And then, as they walked slowly mm mm' I np the path, words began to grow out of the soft murmur. "Bob Brent has struck it, they say," Bob remarked in his elegant way, and Patty replied mournfully: "Ah, yes. How sorry I am for Dol ly! Poor faithful, loving Dolly!'' "Sorry? Why isn't she in it? I thought they were " "Why, Bed," Patty broke in, With tears in her little babyish voice, "can't you see that Dolly is only a faded, iniddle-aged woman now, while Rob ert is in his prime the handsomest man in town? And haven't you no ticed how he admires Kitty? It was all well enough when he couldn't marry; but now " But the words were indistinct again; Dolly heard no more. She had risen from the hammock arid Was standing, white add still, in the glare' of the electric light ' $ae stars Were niockirig her now above the lower light, add the brVJszea "wiri" Whispering 6f the twenty years that had rolled dver her, carryirig her freshness away. Ben saw her there when he came down to the gate, and bowed with a cheery, "Good night, Miss Dolly," and went whistling his newest favorite oovvn the street Then Dolly crept up to her room. "And I would have let him do it! i never would have thought of tho change. Oh, the shame, the humilia tion of it! To think that I, ft faded middle-age'd Woman, wotlld have held him td the promise made to a fair young girl twenty long years ago! He was too true and noble to let mo know, too tender to hurt me. If only I had seen! It is all so oinerent witn women, but 1 never thought of it before. It would not matter to me how chantreil Robert might be; I'd love him only the more, if he needed more. But he is grandly handsome and and he must have a young, pretty wife. It is best, I see that best for Robert and for her and for me; for I couldn't hear to have him sorry or or ashamed:" She loosed her dress at the thr'oat and pressed her hands against lier" temples. "He mustn't be ashamed of his wife, dear, faithful Robert He must be happy, now that the' world is brighter for him. I can bear it for him." And then she wrote a lettar, and, when it was flrtishedt she illicit by her bedside; arid the stars tWiiikle'd iii arid the breeste filiitled Her paid, cairn face. Faded? Oh, the beauty Of it as she knelt there giving dp rill she held dear. What are dimples and all fresh prcttitiess compared to a beauty like that? Ytln only get the soul after these are gone. In the morning before uny of the household was awake she took the letter and carried it out to the mail box on the corner; and then she went to the hammock under the magnolia and watched the sun rise down at the end of the cross street. Presently the gate latch clicked, and then a pair of strong arms folded themselves abdut her And her head was on Rdbert's broad shoulder, an I he Was telling her how he had ldnged for her, arid what art aire the last her, week had been "You would have been sorry for me, Dolly," he was saying; "for in my hurry getting off, I left your last pho tograph in the pocket of the coat I'd been wearing, and there was only the childish little 'thing taken twenty years ago. Forgive me, dear, but it's more like your little sillyfaced Cousin Kitty than like you. There( don't be vexed I know you are riot very like her now; but, bstween us, I believe you were in thoe first days, though it is hard to think of my beautiful full blown rose as anything less lovely and sweet than she is now. But you will soon be my very own, Dolly, ami I shan't be missing a photograph when I have yon." Dolly drew her breath. She was in the new world again. "Do you really want me, Robert?" she asked, a glad light In her dark blue eyes. "I'll show you preUy soon. Want you? Oh, Dolly!" and then he went on, laughing happily as I12 told hir of his plan. "I'm coming to-night with Mr. Sims, and I'm going to claim my wife and take her away with me. What a jolly tour ours shall be! Yes, I know there is always trouble about clothes and things; but we won't let that make the waiting longer. Put on the little blue frock and come away with me. I want you, and I've waited twenty years; and now I must hurrv to mother an 1 Amy and the small army of young people. I'll come for my wife at 9, Dolly. Will she be ready?" What could she sa- but yes. And then how her happy eyes fol lowed him as long as his broad shoulders were in sight! She stood by the gate until the post man came to take up the mail, and then she flew out to him and begged for the letter she had dropped through the slot an hour ago. "It's against the rules. Miss Dolly." he said; but she held out her hand and lifted her pleading eyes to him, and he laid the letter across her palm. Then the breakfast bell rang, and Dolly went in to tell them that her wedding day was come. Whet He Xcedeil. The New York druggists make a large percentage on the money in vested.

Chicago Dally Dispatch. . In these dars of fraud and deception it is a pleasure to find In any business concern an absolute regard for truth. Probably in bo line of business has deception been bractieed as in medi cine. For this reason any concern which lives strictly np to its promises deseives the thanks of everybody. Such a Concern is the Cook Remedy company; Which is located in suite 30? Masonic temple in this City. The standing and reliability of this company has heretofore been lavorably commented upon by the Dispatch, and just now it comes to the front with a cure so remarkable that an account of it will be found of unusual interest to the reading public. The case in ques tion has been fully investigated by the Dispatch, and the following recital of it can be vouched for as absolutely true in every partictllar. A Traly Afatveloos Core. The case in question is that of to. Uoehrig, a prosperous young German American bt 55 Eas't Twenty-fifth street. ir. Koehrig inherited a pre disposition to skin disease. When 6 years old he suffered much from ecze ma, but that in time was cured. Some time ago he contracted blood poison. The symptoms became alarming and physician after physician was con sulted. Allth.ir ministrations, how ever, seemed only to" aggravate the disease. After almost every promi nent specialist in Chicago had tried in vain to alleviate his suffering Mr. Roehrig acted upon the advice of his prrents arid Went to Germany for the t-xpress purpose Of being treated by the most eminent physicians Of Ed rope. At Coburg he put himself un der the treatment of Drs. Kuhn and Martinet, recognized by the medical profession as authorities on diseases of the skin and blood. They succeed ed no better than the many Chicago doctors Who had tried to cure Mr. Rbehrig's aWfui aliment Meantime the cbndition of the sufferer became simply appalling. They Coold Not Care ill to. When the most learned savants of Europe were found unable to benefit him Mr. Roehrig was ready to give up all hbpe. Relatives brought him back to America to die. Resigned to what threatened to be a most horrible fate, he came back to his Chicago home and took to his bed. He had been dosed, drugged and covered with salve; one physician recommended the amputation of his toes, and his resi dence Was full of bottles that had con tained medicines prescribed by ortho dox practitioners arid more modern Specialists, but as he constantly grew Worse Mr Roehrig was willing to quit trying. Relatives, however, iasisted that efforts tb cure be continued and he agaih called numerbus expert spe cialists. The result of their treat ment was the same as before the trip to Europe. The condition of the unfortunate suf ferer was at this time truly pitiable. Life was worse than a burden, not only to himself but to his relatives and all who came in contact with him. It would be difficult to imagine the measure of the mental and physical torture that he UhderWeht While itt the grasp of the dread polsOtL Death not only seemed imminent but the sufferer was ready to welcome it as a relief. Somebody Sasceated Magic Cyphllene. About this time somebody suggested trying the Cook Rem edy company. Expecting no bene fit, but ready to try anything that promised relief, Mr. Roehrig put himself under the treatment of the Cook Remedy Co., 30? Masonic temple, Chicago, 11L, Who have made a spec ialty of treating this disease for near ly ten years. When he began treat ment in December last he was one mass of disgusting, mattery sores. The physicians connected with the Cook Remedy company say his was the worst case that ever came under their notice. He had long been un able to wear shoes and was in every way about as sorry a looking speci men of humanity as was ever seen. It was about six months ago when Mr. Rcehrig began to take their treatment. Since beginning he has followed instructions carefully and to-day is one of the most healthy men in all Chicago. When ho first began the Magic Cyphilene treatment be weighed ISO pounds, and now since cured by this magic remedy he weighs 208 pounds and is a Sandow in appear ance. Every sore has healed, and the un sightly scabs that disfigured him have given way to healthy cuticle. The Caee Carefully Inveetlsaled. As a natural result of the facts narrated Mr. Roehrig is a staunch ad mirer of the Cook Remedy company. He told his story to the Dispatch re porter who was sent to investigate the case, believing that the recountal of his experiences may be the means of saving the lives of others who may be so unfortunate as to be afflicted with blood diseases of any kind. Ths truthfulness "of tbe reporter's statements in the above article are venUed by the following affidavit of Mr. Roehrig: I hereby testify that the statement? made regarding my case in the above article are true. " M. Roeurio. State of. Illinois, Cook county, ss: Subscribed and sworn to before me, a notary public in and for said county, 'this 14th day of June, 18C4. Seal. M. W. Jonxso.v. Notary Public. Many other remarkable cures are accredited the Cook Remedy company. This particular case has come under the observation of the Dispatch. The man made whole through the efficien cy of this wonderful remedy is a resi dent of the city and known to be reputable and responsible, and the story of his wonderful cure may be Verified by any one who will call at his residence. Deeervlnc of ConUdence. The old-time orthodox physicians are slow to give credit to any secret formula for the cure of disease. This is owing to the fact that so many of them are really rank frauds, gotten up wholly for gain. It is a well-known fact that the public is easily hum bugged when it comes to purchasing nostrums, but the many successful cases treated by the Cook Remedy company offer evidence than can not be successfully disputed and the old time doctors are compelled to admit that at last an absolute specific for blood diseases, both hereditary and acquired, has been discovered. Magic Cyphilene has wade fortune for its owner, saved many a life tt4 alJwvi ated more suffering than any secret formula for the cure of blood diseaaaa kaowil to the world. Magis Cyphilene was originally compounded at Omaha la leTflt la 1893 the business had g rown to OT2h an extent that it was removed to this city and the Cook Remedy company was organized under the laws of Hit nols with a capital stock of S W0, 00a Its financial standing is strictly first class, as a reference to the commer cial agency report Will show, and it is a corporation deserving the confi dence and patronage of the people. The Dispatch Is as ready to give credit to deserving enjerprises as it U to ex pbso'frauds, and it has seen indisput able proof of the merits of the medi cine compounded by the Cook Remedy company. The Cook Remedy company treats every case under a positive guaranty to cure or return the money. As nu merous other cases attest, the medi cine given effects a permanent cure in a short time. In the most advancd cases of blood poisoning or syphilis Magic Cyphilene has effected numer ous truly marvelous cures, many of which have attracted tbe attention of the medical profession, which had al most invariably pronounced the eases hopeless. No reputable journal can afford to commend an enterprise that is not de serving. The Dispatch knows the Cook Remedy company to be exactly what it is claimed to be, arid the servi ces it has rendered to suffering humanity entitle it to unlimited com mendation. The Roehrig case is not a matter of hearsay. It is positively known to be a matter of fact Beware of Imitators. Their reputation for quick and per manent cures in all stages of the dis ease and even when all other remedies fail, has become so wide-spread that several imitators have come to light, some even going so far as to copy their printed matter advertising, and one concern which is liable to deceive the public has assumed a similar name, calling themselves "The Original Dr. Cook Cure company." Magic Cypht len.2 is owned and controlled only by the Cook Remedy Co., Chicago, 111. BITS OF INFORMATION. The only rainless region in South America is on the coast of Peru.

In 1635 certain trials were held in Ireland re specting the right of the crown to the counties of Ireland. Leitrim, Roscom mon, Sligo and Mayo gave Judgment in favor of the crown, but Oalway stood out, whereupon each of the jury was fined 1,000. The stone that suggested Wilkie Col lins' novel, "The Moonstone," was the Orloff diamond which originally served as one of the eyes of an idol in Sering ham, India, but was stolen about 150 years ago by a French soldier, who fled with it to Madras, where he sold it to the commander of a British man-of-war for $9,400. It was finally sold to Catherine IL, of Russia, for 418,500 and an an nual pension of $18,600.

When one Englishman or American meets anctlier the usual inquiry is, "How do jon do? The Frenchman would ask, " How do you carry your elf?" Th Italian, "How do you stand?" "How goes it?" and "How do you find yourself?" is the German interrogation ; " How do you fare ?" is the Dutch; " How do you perspire ?" asks the Egyptian. The Chinaman wants to know "How is your stomach?' "Have you eaten your rice?" The Pole, "How do you have yourself?" The Russian, "How do you live on?" while the Persian salutation is, "Maj thy shadow never be less," and that of the Mexican is, in the morning, "How did you pass the night ?'

The beauty of the apple blossom has been sun? by the yard and for ages, but the quince blossom has in some way failed to inspire the poets, though it is a lovely flower, at first a cone of five close wrapped pink petals that gradually unclose till there is a globe slightly opened at the top, showing the yeilow antlers within. The petals keep one deep pink edge, the rest get ting paler till the opposite side is al most white. Finally the flower opens into a fiat, delicate3 tinted cup, with the pistils holding up the group of yel low antlers on mauve pink stems. The glossy green quince leaf, with its white satin underfinish, fits well with the flowers, and so does the enp that the glass blower in Murano made by roll ing a white hot bulb of greenish glass over a sheet of gold leaf and blew and tossed and flattened on one end and cracked evenly off at tin otiier till it stood shapely and gold-flecked, ready for these faraway New Knglandquiu'-e blossoms. Newport News. STILL A PROFOUND SECRET. N YorU'j Air oMinnslity Superiority a Croat a Mjretery aa Ever. The New York Herald recoaHy treated the intelligent and refined constituency to which it caters to Illustrations of ieculiar merit and Value, say the Washington Post Theo were no loss, in fact, than a series of glimpses into the parlors, drawing-rooms, librarios, halls and sleeping apartments of such wealthy New Yorkers as could be induced to turn their dwellings wrong sido out for tho gratification of vulgar curiosity. Wo have ofton con fessed, with pain and humiliation, our inability to understand the aristocracy of tho great metropolis. That they aro aristocrats wo havo every reason to beliove. liecause they admit tho fact themselves. Even if thoy denied it. however, or refused to testify at all, we should know them for superior beings., sinco no peoplo could bo so scornful of others, so complacent as to their own superiority, and so calmly and deliberately rudo to the rest of tho world without tho divino right of exaltation. Not only at home, on Manhattan island, but wherever elso ho may bo found, tho really high class New Yorker is a wonder and a mystery to tho siraplo, provincial mind. No ono has over solved tho problem of his manner toward other human creatures or exposed tho train of reasoning by which he first adopted it. Wo know why Mount Everest looks down upon other mountains, becauso wc can sco that it is loftier than they, but why tho citizens of New York look down upon tho citi zens of other towns is a conundrum which baffles human ingenuity. Wo felt a tremor of oxpectation when wo unfolded tho Herald's panorama, ft r it occurred to us that possibly an inspection of some specimen New York interiors might furnish us with light not obtainablo from tho very minutest inspection of tho Now Yorkers themselves. Wo said to ourselves: "Ha! hero in tho firo places, the coal scuttles, tho wall paper, the bric-a-brac, tho bedsteads, the doormats and tho crockery of these inexplicable beings we shall read tho secret of their high nobility." Wo said: Ha!" several times, in fact, and we fell to examining upholstery and apprais ing furniture and looking undor beds with all tho ardor of a searchor for inspiration. Wo still say. "Ha!" Wc say it with firm and fearless em phasis. But we flounder in darkness as hopelessly as ever. For us, at least there is nothing more suggest ive in this parade of New York eat ing and sleeping paraphernalia than there has hitherto been in the spec tacle of tho individual Now Yorker. It strikes us as being gaudy, osten tatious, vulgar, in bad taste and that is all. If we woro inclined to doubt the superiority of the Now York aristocrat, instead of being honestly anxious to understand it. wo should feel moved to thank tho Herald for having entirely per suaded us. 7 he Snow flower. One of tho greatest curiosities is the snowflower that blooms in tho northern portion of Siberia, where the earth is continually covered witli a coating of snow and frost. This wonderful plant shoots forth from tho frozen soil on the first day of the year, and reaches the height of about three feet; it blooms on the third day, remains open twenty-four hours and then returns to its origi nal elements. It shines for a single day, then the stem, leaves and flower are converted into snow. Tho leaves aro three in number. Tho flower is star-shaped, its petals about as long as the leaves and about half an inch wide. On the third day tho ex tremities of tho leaves show little glistening specks, liko diamonds, about tho size of the head of a pin. These aro the seeds of this queer flower. On ono occasion some of these seeds were gathered and hast ily transported to St Petersburg. They wore there placed in a bed of snow, where they were kept until the first of tho following year, wnen the snowflower burst forth and was greatly admired and wondered at by all who saw it. Illne Mood at at Dlaeannf. Tho East, pale and intellectual, sneered. "You admit, then," she persisted, "that you set no especial value upon good breeding?' The West, glorious and radiant, smiled. 'Certainly." sho answered. "It has been established that grade hogs yield as well as full-bloods, and are -aiscd cheaper." An Knrmr of Cla Distinction. (Jreat regret is felt in Sweden at tho death of Marie Sophie Schwarz. one of the most popular writers in a country in which popularity is not easily gained. She was lit years old. Mmc. Schwarz was an enemy of all class distinctions, and one of her most successful novels bears the title, "The Man of Uirth and the Woman of the People." from New York to Auckland. A wire message from New York to Auckland traverses a length of line of 11', I'M miles, nearly three-fourths of which is submarine cable. It has to be repeated or rewritten fifteen times.
