Spring is drawing near the scnaon in
which , if wo nro to believe the most fa *
nous of English pools , young mnidcna
'lightly turn to thoughts of lovo. " But
n this practical country , whcro useful
ness is esteemed nbovo other things , the
coming of the spring is accompanied by
houghts inquiring into new means of
'making a living" and how to make the
wheels of industry spin round at an in
creased ratio. The husbandman , the
voll-ito-do mechanic , nnd the speculator
n landa and town lota , nro eagerly wait-
tig for reports which will unable them to
nako up their minds ns to where and how
.hoy shall invest their surplus earnings.
! t is for their benefit that the following
> riof description of the best wntorcd
tountry in Nobrask.i is herewith given in
ho columna of the BKE :
FUUVAH COUNTV ,
n the llopublicon valley , extending 2-1
miles from north to south , and 30 miles
rom east to west , is bounded on the
lorth by Frontier and Gospor counties ,
on the cast by llarlan , on the south by
ho atnto of Kausas , and on the west
> y lied Willow county. It contains
00,000 acres , of which 348,700 are capa-
> lo of cultivation.
Water courses abound ; the llo-
mblican , Bappa and Beaver , with their
numerous tributaries , along the banks of
vhicli timber grows plentifully.
"History of Mobraska" says : "Along
.ho banks of the streams there is consid
erable natural timber. Though not ot
nucli value for building purposes it is
BufUcient to furnish an abundance of
uol. " A part of this statement is baldly
-ruo. - That Furnas county is not laok-
ng in timber good for building purposes
s clearly demonstrated to any one who
visits Edward Anguish's saw mill at Ar-
rapahoo. There may bo scon at any
.lino a number of logs of huge dimen
sions turned into good building material ,
ast year Mr. A. had sawed 500,000 foot ,
Cho tact is that for timber , fuel and
abundance of pure running water Furnas
county stands foremost in southern No-
jraska. During ordinary winters the
Suil'alo grass makes line grazing. On
; ho bottom lands a blue stem grass is
ound , making good hay. Millott and
mammoth grass yield immense quanti-
; ies. These facts servo to explain why
stock raising is the principal resort of the
country.
It would , however , bo a great mistake
o suppose that in Jb'urnrts county the far
mer's occupation has given way to the
stock misers. On the contrary , hero , ns
clsowhoro , it has been proved that farm-
ng and stock raising go hand in hand.
In nine-tenths of the county rye , millet ,
Barley and oats are "a sure crop ; " next
comes wheat , and corn will in ordinary
years give bountif 1 returns. The pe
riod of the grasshopper is pasted and
government lund is yet to bo had in the
county.
A. contented people dwells in this por-
:5on : of the Republican valley. The old
settlers point with pride at the many
neat towns and villages , with their mills ,
churches and school house ? , and at the
lilted corn bins , the herds of bellowing
cattle and the broad acres , comparing in
their mind the present plenty with the
hardships of the past. Ben Burton , now
a resident of Arapahoe , can tell , if ho
wants and ho generally wants of the
three enemies of the pioneer : the chinch
bup ; , the grassshopper and the Indian.
Boandthoso with him , who have suf
fered in days gone by , belit vo in the future -
turo of Furnas county. Next , if not equal
to the great natural advantages of Fur
nas county , its future prosperity is duo
to the energetic men who hava settled on
the land. Such men as Crutchor , Phelps
& Jones , of Beaver City ; Child A Col-
vin , Tomblin , Bennet , Oluto , Finch ,
Winslow , Clark , &c. , of Arapahoe , and S.
Dow , Van Buskirk and E. Poaao , of OxFord -
Ford , give strength and success to the
communities of the west. '
AUAl'AHOK
The chief town in Furnas county is
Arapahoe , ( the initial "a" not pronounc
ed ) , situated on the Republican river and
the B. & M. railroad. This thriving
place of COO inhabitants is possessed of
bwelve retail stnrog , one steam and two
water mills , acknowledged to bo among
the best in Huiitlieru Nebraska , two
hotels , three livery stables , one packing
house , one creamery , several brick'
yards , etc Ono bundled and forty
zhildron ure 011 the school roll ,
and an § 8,000 school housj is to bo erect *
ed this spring. Two woil-built churches
are used by live religious aouietica. On
\ hill , one milo north of tlio town , is per-
liapa the finest cemetery in southern
Nebraska.
The town of Arupahoo , though young
in years , has airt-ndy reached that stage
of municipal development when brick
buildings are taking the place of frame
houses. E. S. Child , the well-known
real estate man , 0. W. Woodward , post
master , and 'W. E. Winslow have opened
the way for this improvement.
Among the prominent business 'firms
of Arapahoe should bo mentioned
CHILD AND COIiVIN ,
the only exclusive real estate firm in the
town and vicinity. They are heavy
dealers in deeded land at prices from
$3 00 to $30.00 per acre , and have for
lease 20,000 acres of school land in Gos
per and Furnas counties. They are , be
sides , loaning largo amounts of money on
land and chattels , and carry on an exten
sive insurance business. It is no exag
geration to Bay that this enterprising
firm is among the most solid nnd reliable
real estate fir ma ia the State of Ne
braska ;
ENO3GLA11K ,
proprietor of the Star mills , which have a
capacity of 100 barrels a day ;
I ) . Jf. TOM 1JLIN ,
proprietor of Furnas county bank has
built up a successful business ;
KKEKH & JIOCKNKLL ,
proprietors of Arapahoe lumber yard.
The press of Nebraska is ably represented
sentod by the Pioneer and the Public
Mirror.
OXKOHD
Is the youngest town in the vulloy
with over two hundred inhabitants , on
the B. & M. railroad and a bend of th
Republican river which hero furniahe
plenty of mill power. About May 1st

railroad , now under construction , tril
reach this point , increasing the busines

Although mon nro supposed to know ail
about barber shops , few have any idea of
the number of pretty girls and charmiug
women who climb into the big chairs and
iavo thfir hair trimmed or cut and their
leads shampooed every week. It was
about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon , says
i Chicago 'exchange , that a couple of
ladies ana a little girl entered a West
Madison street barbershop and asked
the proprietor if ho thought he would bo
Free from male customers for an hour or
no.
no."I want my hair shampooed. " said the
ady patron , ' 'and Bessie's hair muac lie
cut , but I should die if n nun came in
Sow , if you'C in lock the door or put
somebody outside to say that you uru en
gaged , wo will get ready. "
The barber reassured them and began
at once to "dhinglo" Bessie. A woman
stood on each side of him , nnd Iroiu the
lumber of questions asked it would not
iavo been surprising had hu taken off
ono nf Bessie's ara in the operation.
"Now , do be careful and cut it oven.
Don't you think you are cutting off too
much from this sidn < Try and leave
enough to bang if you can. Ifasn't the
child line hair ) What do you do with the
mir you cut ? " were but a few of the in
terrogations with which ho was plied.
When the child's hair was satisfactorily
arranged the younger of the women
sprang into the seat , piled her arctics up
on the highest rest and prepared to bo
washed , The razor wielder had some
difficulty in taking dowa the Langtry
< not , but succeeded after dropping most
of the hairpins on the floor. She had
brought her owa comb , brush , towel ,
sponge and soap , and although she made
liim wash his hands right there , and clean
liis finger nails a luxury ho had not
indulged ia for moro than a month she
had no objection to the colognes ant
toilet waters on the stand , which slit
helped herself to.
"I have heard that you barbers clean
the head beautifully , but the scalp is per
fectly awful two days later. Now , I don1
want any such work , BO look to you
laurels. "
Whoa her hair was washed and drioc
as well as towel , bay rum and n pair o
bic , strong hands could dry it , she called
for a fan , which , of course , was aot to b
found.
"If I had thought to bring ono ! Well
ao matter.hero's a paper , " and the morn
ing sheet was creased into a fan ant
handed to the astonished tonsorial artie
with which to "dry fan" her hair. Whil
this operation was in progress the man o
the ra/.or was asked how much money th
business yielded , the "price of sucl | t
jolly big chair , " what men talked abou
when they wore getting sliaved , what th
strop was good for , and who trot th
green tickets. After the fanning proce *
the exhausted man wae compelled to coral
out the tangles , and , as ho said to h !
partner when that tardy individual returned
turned , "My head for a football if sh
didn'J want me ( o do up her waterfall. '
NARROW ESCAPE
Of n Well Known Chiron of Month

bttnn Herald.
A journalist whoso jnoanderings in
carch of news led him into the thriving
illago of South Easton , yesterday ,
bund the recant cscapo of Mr. Caleb S ,
! xthrup of that place from death in ono
of its most horrible and repulsive forms
o bo a topic of general comment. In
cply to all inquiries for details , the ro-
) ortor was invariably told : "Go and
ec his son William , up huro at the shoo
aotory. Ho'll post you up. "
Mr. William B. Lothrop , the gciillo-
nan alluded to , was found by the reporttr
n the factory of Messrs. Copclnnd it
lartwoll , where , with rolled up sleeves ,
10 was working manfully at his familiar
> onch Ho greeted his visitor cordially ,
nd expressed his willingness to furnish
11 the information in his power respect-
ng his father's case.
'feomo ton years ngo , " said ho , "n
light swelling manifested itself on tlic
iifht sidp of my fntlur's uppur lip. It
tartod like n blood blister , nnd kent in-
rcnaing in size. Its progress was slow
until within throe years , when it grow
iioro rapidly nnd finally spread out upon
lis cheek nnd upon his lip both outaido
nd inside , extending downward to the
; ums. It cracked open and split out like
seed wart. Several physicians were
onsultcd , but they could nllbrd no relief ,
ind said that there was no hope of curing
lim that the terrible cancer would
prond until his face would be literally
i.iton off. You can imagine how such n
lorriblo decision as this would olfoct n
lan's peace of mind. My father , who is
low 07 years old , was n hardworking nnd
ndustrious man , but about a year ago ,
0 greatly had the prospect of death from
1 loithsomo disease ell'ectod himhis mind
) egan to fail , and wo had to keep an al-
uost constant watch upon him , lie had
lecome n burden to himself , Tlio cancer
mittod n most revolting stench , which
lormeatod the entire house.
"Well , this was about the condition of
llaira when , about four months ngo , I
cad in the Boston Ilorald an advortisr-
lent of Swift's Specific ( S , S. S. ) , maii-
facturod by the Swift Specific Co. , of
Vtlantn. Ga. I saw that it was highly
ecommondod for blood diseases , and I
ont for two bottles. Father tried ono ,
ind was not apparently much helped ;
> ut the second had n marked oiled , as
lie cancer immediately began to heal ,
nd a healthier look appeared about the
dgos. Wo persisted in the treatment
vith Swift's Specific ( S. S. S. ) , nnd now ,
ftor using in all eight largo bottles nnd
our small ones , all that remains of the
cancer is a small "root" not so largo as a
tea , which ia itself steadily dis-
ippearinR. Naturally , my father
s greatly cheered by his improved
ondition. His general health is very
; oed , and his mental troubles have boon
really alleviated. There is no doubt
whatever that Swift's Specific ( S. S. S. )
s entitled to ovcry particle of the credit
or saving my father from n death most
iprriblo to think of. I have spoken
lighly of its virtues to all the neighbors ,
nd I am glad to bo of any use I can in
proading the good news. "
The reporter stopped for a moment's
onversation in the business ollico of the
actory before leaving the building. Both
nombors of the firm expressed thorn-
elves as cognizant of the main circum-
tanccs of the case as above narrated.
There is no humbug about it , " said
hoy. "Whatever Mr. Lothrop told you ,

STATE STENOGEAPHEES ,
Tli .v IfnMnn Important Mooting and

List evening the Nebraska State Stcn-

Ono now stenographer , Mr. J. 0
Wostloy , who is employed in tlio Union
acifio freight auditor's ollico , was pro-
losod for membership , and the matter
yas referred to the examining committee.
Since the organization of tjio society ,
ivo years ago , it has lost but ono of iU
members by death , although there
iavo boon ijuito n number of
changes from other causes. But
ast night it became the painful
duty of the secretary to announce thai
since the last mooting ono of ita most beloved
loved members , Mr. William D. Case
had gone to "that bourne from whonci
no traveler returns , " and upon motion o
Mr. Woodman the secretary was In
otructod to draw up resolutions of condol
DCO.
DCO.Mr. . Wilson , in an amusing speech
made the suggestion that at the nex
mooting they have a mock trial , and tha
there would bo no difficulty in finding
auiUblo culprit on a charge of potty lui
ceny. Mr. Pattoo was proposed a
suitable member to sustain tlm rolu c
prisoner. Tlio supgostion mot wiHi grea
favor , and when it is understood tliat i
will bo one of the finest opportunities fo
the stenographic novices to acquire prc
licioticy in verbutum reporting , there i
no doubt it will become quito populai
Mr. Muoro also ina/1o sonio intorostin
observations , and said he would bo gla
to attend himself on the occasions of th
trials , although in order to do BO h
would Jiavo 10 como all the wav froi

After tha transaction of some routin
business the meeting adjourned , Th

posed to have the first mock trial , will b

lajority of the people want.
John Shortimn , n candidate for prosi-
ont , writes that the tariff is not to pro-
eot capitnl but to protect labor , JSow ,
very candid , thinking man knows the
xnct opposite of this is the truth.
\ \ ho over hoard of n UiiU'on labor ?
Wo Irnvo imported over -1,000,000 for-
ci ncra durini ; the last ten joars , \\lio
landed on our shores free of duty and
reo to compote with us for tlio benefits
accruing to a frco people.
All right : this is in accordance with
! io genius of our institutions.
But wo tax imports 10 , 120 , 40 or fiO
tor cent , for what ) To protect American
npilal as everybody knows ,
This Uwir ! business , like religion , has
locn BO mystified by the high ( tnrtn" )
irirsts as to bo wollnigh incomprelionsi-
> lo to tlio average citizen , and it is with
view to simplifying it and rendering it
asily porccptiblo that The Farmers' Ko-
low publishes the following :
"Suppose government should lay a di-
oct tax of10 per cent , upon every pound
[ nails , f > 5 per cent , on every dish , 515
ior cent , on oviry yard of cotton cloth ,
ind 70 per cent , on every yard of woolen
oth bought by the people of the United
Jutes. Suppose government should
coop a collector in every store to assess
md collect the tax from every customer
n such a way that the customer would
enow exactly what ho was paying for the
oods nnd exactly what ho was p\ying
or tax , how long doca any ono think
uch u system could bo tolerated } Sup-
lose the bill should bo made out so thai
10 customer could sco the cost of the
oods and the amount of tax right bo-
ore his eyes , how long would ho submit
o the exaction without protestSup / -
lese the bill should run something like
lis :
Value Amount
of mils , of tux.
TMItt nml other iron . . 81000 SI ( K )
rockery. . . 10 00 f. C > 0
Cotton cloth HI 00 It M
Voolon cloth 1000 7 00
Totals ? 10 00 S'JO 00
If the customer saw and understood
mt he was compelled to pay $20 taxes
very time ho bought $10 worth of goods ,
low early and how often M ould ho vote
or the candidate for congress who advo
cated and uphold such a system of ox tor-
on ? Probably not very early or very
[ 'ton. But it does not cost the consumer
f goods ono cent loss for tax because the
act that ho is paying the tax is adroitly
oncoalod from him. The bill is made
ut ns though it was all for merchandise
ind nothing for tax. Instead of appear-
ng as above , it runs something like this :
Ml * , oto , . SH 00
Jnickory . 15 50
ottau cloth 13 f > 0
Voolon cloth . 17 00
Total 3CO CO
The $ 20 of tax is there all the same ,
[ though the customer doesn't sco it. If
10 were to carry about with him n pocket
dition of the tariff schedules ho could ,
n purchasing a bill of goods ,
lake something of nn estimate of the
mount of tax. Ho couldn't bo exact
bout it , because of the mixtcd ad va-
orem and specific duties , by moans of
vhich the beneficiaries of the spoliation
, 'Btom manage to befog their victims ,
tut it is not practicable for the nvorngo
itizon to carry n tarill guide book around
with him. llo ought , however , to know
int whenever ho buys $ JO worth of goods
ailing within the above named schedules
10 must pay from § 14 to $28 tax , accord
ing to the kind of goods ho buys. If ho
once Rota a firm grip on this fact , ho will
irob.ibly ngrco with Mr. Morrison that a
tonsidorablo bearing down on these
chodulcs would bo very much to his in
orest as a purchaser and consumer of
oods. "
The sooner the "sturdy ypomanry" of
ur country BOO the thing as it is the bator -
or for them. Yours truly ,
