When wo came to Omaha to intro

ao it , "as BO many others have tried
h and foiled , and the trade are dis
gusted , ot . Wo never had any doubt
that the DUKE OF DURHAM Cigarette -
otto would meet with popular favor
and sell rapidly , knowing it to be
made of the BEST North Carolina
Tobacco , wrapped with the BEST rice
paper , and ABSOLUTELY free of
DRUGS. You see , wo give consumers
credit for knowing a good thing when
they have tried it , and then wo
thought hiw comfortable the fooling
( when enjoying a leisure smoke ) TO
KNOW that you are not absorbing
injurious drugs.
We are mutually interested in this
matter of purti Cigarettes. If the
DUKE OF DURHAM are the PUR
EST and BEST , ot course , you will
continue to use them : if not , you
wont So wo concluded to call your
attention to thorn through the news
papers and tell you frankly all about
- thorn , and induce yen to try them and
t- then lot them speak for themselves.
Wo know those are pleased who have
tried them , as they continue to buy
them , and wo are gutting most flatter
ing reports from dealers as well as con
sumers. Wo promised more roporta
from dealers yesterday , but wo mot
with one who cooled pur arder tem

toll what he said , but wo withhold his
name , street and number.

them , and shall not keep them. Can
buy nnd Cigarettes for
50c per 1,000 less and Cigarettes
for $1 per 1,000 less than theUKE ,
and I can retail them at same price of
the Duke. "
Well , wo * have somewhat recovered ,
and since wo have thought the matter
over don't feel much worried , us ho
doesn't 8ellintvnyand | his limited sales
will notatloct us much. - Wo appre
hend that it's because ho does not
keep the bostbut instead tries to palm
off nn inferior article at aamo price ,
that his trade is ao small. With this
exception , wo find most of the trade
disposed to handle the DUKE OF
DURHAM Cigarettes and Tobacco
because they ARE the BEST and
PUREST on the market.

them yet , you should drop in the

WHAT A CONOUK'WMAX HAYS OP HIM.
WAHIUNHTOX , December 27. Dur
ing the holiday recess thuro has been
conducted n discussion between mem
bers of conpross over the policy of
President Arthur. The general con
clusion is that this will bo a practi
cable business administration and ac
tively controlled by the president
himself. ' On. ) of the loading members
of the house ways hud means committee -
too , in an interview , states that ho
called upon the 'president just after
the adjournment for the holiday re
cess and was surprised at the extent
nnd accuracy of the knowledge that
ho had of the legislation probable and
desirable during the aesmon. He
found him a perfectly clear and posi
tive , courteous and delightful conver
sationalist. Mention was made con
cerning the appointment of a man tea
a certain office. The president in
stantly became dignified and reserved ,
and when the conversation had finished
made no reply but resumed
the conversation on miscellaneous
matters. The impression was con
voyed that ho was willing to listen to
all advices , but was'a determined man
and would act ultimately on his own
judgment nnd knowledge , and was
willing to accept thu respon
sibility. lie believes' that the
people have the right kind of
a man occupying the position of prosi
dent. The general toner of numerous
conversations ia that tbo president
will insist upon an active administra
tion , as he believes there is more
danger in doing nothing than in the
activity of tho-purty responsible. It
is known that ho favors liberal ex
penditures for improvements and ex
tensions of the various branches of
the government , and that ho will not
tolur.ito any dissensions on account of
'actional differences } no matter from
whence emanating , and it is also be
lieved that the stalwarts may expect
simply fair but not partisan treatment.

Calkins , chairman of the house com
mittee on elections , as has been stated ,

pers in three cases went to tbo prin

luminous. The first of them can hardly

his committee into three- subcommittees

of the cases for primary examination
When this is done , it will bo reported

RICHMOND , Va , December 27A
special from West Point , on the York

disaster to the steamer West Point ,
plying between that point und Balti

valued nt ? GQOOOj , insured.
No theory us to thu cause of the
explosion has been settled upon but
it is generally i.ttributed to the oil on

Ono theory advanced is that aomo
dynamite may have been smuggled in
the freights. A auspicious box is re
moinbered to have been seen.
The steamer was now , having just
boon built and turned over to the
company a few weeks ago. She made
her first trip to We.it Point , Virginia ,

himself in the Revolutionary war as
to twice receive thu thanks of con-
Kress and a ( { old mods ] , This scrip
was issued in lieu of two exchange
warrants issued by the state of Vir
ginia to his heirs soon after hia death
under an net granting a bounty in
land to all citizens of that state
who aervod under the authority of
thu continental congress. Under that
act the commodore ranked with brnm-
dior generdl and was entitled to re
ceive 100,000 acres of land for throe
years'service ' and one-sixth of that i
amount additional for every year's
service over six. Oommodoro Jones
aervod soyen years , ton month * and

Cltii'Auo , December 27. The
branch wholewalu house of A. T.
Stewart A Co. , in this city , which has
been eMahlinhcd for several yutts , is
in distress on account of a misunder
standing with the salesmen. It seems
that for several months pant a spirit
of dissatisfaction ban been growing
among the employes , owing to thu
eastern methods of running thu es
tablishment which were not in accord
with western ways. The decisive
move , however , which caused the rup
ture was the presentation to-day to
ouch salesman of a receipt for the
mouth's salary which contained in
printed form the clause that the
inisitiLM ? engagement between
the house and the man
aligning the document could
bo terminated at any time at the op-
MOM of either party. As the period
had already passed when engagements
could be made for the ensuing year
and as all the present employes had as
yet received no intimation of any
change , they became no indignant at
the innovation that with uiie accord
all the aalosmon of thu house ( eighty
in number ) threw up their positions
and precipitately left the house.
Somu of the salesmen were among the
bent in the vest , covend of them re
ceiving salaries amounting to $3,000
cash. The action of the salesmen hns
caused great excitement in trade cir
cles because of such an unusual char
acter.

didn't believe in hereditary insanity ,
As a general rulu the descendants of
innano persons did not become insane.
The belief that a man would live forever -

on hands was no evidence of insanity.
Guitean interrupted that there woru
two kinds of insanity : "Crank" insanity -
sanity and "Abraham" insanity , and
ho belonged to the Abraham school ,
Dr. MaoDonald continued that ho
did not believe in moral insanity ; it
was incruly wickedness or depravity.

ple didn't make deliberate prepara

acted in ,1 moment of passion.
They did not show the name

victims as sane people. Sane people
had a definite motiw. , nnd their vie-

had Bomo grudge , or whom had in

generally have no fear of the consequences

sons were careful of their own safety
and approach their victims from
behind.

tried for two weeks to put it aside.
Thu Almighty not interposing , ho
formed a deliberate purpose to exe
cute thu act. Ho had no doubt he
would be acquitted on thu ground of
insadity. Wlnlu ) 0 wus not medically

a change in his actions and behavior.
In jail , ho is well behaved , gentle
manly and courteous. "
"I am not abused there , " exclaimed
the prisoner.
"I think , " continued the witness ,
"that any insane person showing the
excitement and making the interrup
tions this prisoner has made would
not display the sumo method and the
same judgment in the selection of the
tiinu lor and the naturu of these in
terruptions , The insane person would
interrupt only when thu impulse came
upon him without any particular re
gard to thu evidence being given. I
noticed that when the prisoner came
aciosa Dr. Spit/.ka's letter ho selected
only thoHo sentences to blurt out
which were favorable to his case. "
