John 8. Freeman is in reoeipt of a
letter from Commander A. L. Lowe of
Galveston, Texas, who is contemplating
ohartering a vessel for a cruise to tha
porta of Venezuela, Costa Rica, Guate
mala, Honduras and Mexioo, to occupy
six months time, and to start aome time
thia summer. The commander thinks
some good Nebraska miller might make
the trip along with other manufacturers,
and find a new market for Nebraska
wheat, corn, flour, meal, packing-house
products, etc.
Dr. Talmage, speaking of the country
newspaper, says: MA newspaper whose
columns overflow with advertisements
of business men has more influence in
attracting attention to and building up
n city or town than any other agency
that can be employed. People go where
there is business. Capital and labor
will locate where there is an enterprising
community. No power on earth is so
strong to build up a town as a news
paper well patronized and its power
should be appreciated."
The city council oonvened yesterday
(Tuesday) morning at 10 o'clock, in ad
journed session, with a large number of
interested citizens, to listen to the case
of remonatranoe of L Gluok against tha

ing liquor by L. J. Lee. When the
council was called, Duffy, Gluck's attor
ney, read the remonstrance, and Lee's
attorney, Albert, asked and obtained
leave to withdraw the application for li
cense, and the money was also refunded.
Council adjourned to April 16.
Schuyler waa one of the first, if not
tha first, town in tha state to operate an
electric light plant and system of water
works of her own, saya the Herald. By
running her own plant aha has saved
many dollars to her citizens and at tha
name time given them n better eervioe
than they would have had otherwise.
Cities many times the size of Schuyler
could profit by following her example.
Corporations should not be allowed to
oontrol the water supply of any city nor
furnish the light for tha same.
The chief business of an editor is to
keep lies out of his paper said James
Parton, and the remark is applicable to
the Argus more times than we like to see
it Mr. Galley has reason to complain.
It is bad enough to lie in the ordinary
way, but to say that a business man had
declared, or that it "had been rumored
that he declared that if Mr. Bryan was
elected president that he, Mr. Galley,
would not aoeept stiver in exchange for
goods," is putting it on a little too thick.
Mr. Galley's goods were bought to sell,
and whatever the money of the country
is, undoubtedly Mr. Galley will get hia
share.
Many who read the following from

There is probably no doubt in the
world but Nebraska is blest with about
as good roads as are to be found any
wherethat is our present notion, at
least Notwithstanding this, we believe
we can sincerely commend the following
from the Daveaport (Iowa) Democrat to
the attention of those communities
where they desire to institute a first
class road: "The impression grows that
vitrified briok is the only thing that will
make such n road aa this country needs
in the rural regions. Such brick does
not wear, and with n well drained and
well built foundation and that need
not be a costly one, either it will not
settle ont of shape. Tha brick road that
is made right will be in place in a cen
tury. The macadam, gravel or other
road is merely a question of time, either.
The brick road costs more at first, but
inside of n few years the other roads
mora than make up the difference. The
beat ia the cheapest in the end."

The editor noticing a concert given by

remarks: Music is the highest and best
articulate language of sentiment and we
are glad to see that Columbus is waken

years old, who "showed remarkable mu

It is, to our mind, one of the very
noblest utteraaoea of sentiment to be

erature. Each of the twenty-two stanzas
is a sermon in itself, and the good Qua

ao long aa there are human hearts to
feel the sacred impulses that "strength

A column article by D. Anderson is
reproduced from the Schayler Register
"Reminisoenoea of Old Settlers." For
several years after the first settlement,
the nearest flouring mill waa at Fort
Calhoun, 80 miles away. Frequently n
journey to mill waa delayed until the last
sack of flour in the whole eettlement waa
consumed, and often our people lived for
days and weeks on parched oorn and
salt In the winter of 1857, some of our
Columbus neighbors sallied forth on
snow shoes, and drawing hand-sleds,
made the trip to Omaha for a fresh sup
ply of provisions. The snow on a level
was about three feet deep.

On December 7, 1896, n murder took
place in my family, at which time my
wife received a serious wound by the
stroke of a gun, the hammer or lock of
the gun being driven into the knee. We
employed a doctor at first and the limb
became very painful and extremely
swollen until December 30, when Will
iam D. Acor came, after which we treated
as he advised with his liniment, and in
fourteen hours she waa able to walk upon
the limb. About February 11 a piece of
bone and a rag came out of the knee at
the opposite side from which it '
driven in by the gun hammer, the rag I
being a piece from her clothing. In the
meantime she was kept eo relieved of
pain as to be able to walk without much
difficulty, while before that we had to
carry her. The medicine removed all
swelling and thickening of matter which
had collected in the flesh by so long
suffering, and in a.ahort time the limb
became perfectly stout again. I take
pleasure in recommending Acorn Lini
ment aa the best and most useful lini
ment I ever saw for healing and relieving
pain. Manx Gurauxo,

together. Dr. Thompson has hopes of
saving the entire hand.
