At the meeting of the board of trade , Wednesday ovcnlne , Mr. ( J. C. Thomas , who holds valuable patents on Improvements. sul > - rnittcd u proposition to the board and the citl/cns of Lincoln for the location of a watch works in the city. The proposition was for the organization of u Joint Block company with a capital of S)50,0H ( ) , of which Mr. Thomas would tiiko $100,000 In his patent and $10,000 in cash , leaving ? 1 10,000 for the citi zens to raise. A stock company of this mag nitude would build und equip a factory 100x300 foot In size , which would give constant employment to ! iOO men , und would hnvo u running capacity of r > 00 watches a day. One of the features brought forth by the board In discussing th6 proposi tion was that the business of the manufacture of watches Is something that Is not ovcrdono and every factory in the land is constantly worked to its utmost capacity and all arc be hind in orders. The discussion and oxprcs- Hlons from members of the board present were of an encouraging nutiiro and the busi ness was placed in the hands of u committee consisting of N. S. Harwood , W.V. . Holmes , J. C. Mcllride , J. J. Imhoff and J. H. Me- Murty. opncniis lar.cT. The following oflloors huvo been elected by three of the Knights of Pythias lodges in this Htato for the ensuing year : A.

Competent parties liavo been over the proposed line entire , and rejwrt tlndlng the route a feasible ono and the grades , in most part , easy. The proposed line , after leaving Lincoln nearly parallels the Missouri Pacific to the \vcst line of CasH county. It then bends northward , crossing the Missouri Pacillo Omaha line at the town of Manley and thcuco casUvurd to the Mis- Bourl river at Hock Blurts. The line , as pro jected , touches no town of any R\ro \ in Iowa rxcept Ilcil Oak and is located , as nearly as poRsihlo , us an air line between Lincoln and DCS Moines. NEW NOTARIES.

STATI. IIOL.II : xoTi : . The annual calking of cracks in Iho Avails of capital building Is In progress. Workmen with tow hand themselves up ami down the sides of the building and lilt the interstices with this cheap product. It is u fair exam ple of the way the building has been con structed. Guy A.

Patrick Eagnn returned home yester day from attendance nt the meeting of the executive committee of the Irish National League in America , lit St. Louis. Mr. Kngnu reports thc-oxecutivo committee much grati fied at tliu work accomplished nnd the pres ent outlook under the able guiihulee of Hon. John Fit/geralil. Tlio next meeting of the national league bids fair to eclipse all former meetings , and already Cincinnati , Chicago , St. Louis , Kansas City and other points are working to wccuro thu convention. Tlio place for holding the mooting was left by Iho ex ecutive committee for President Fitzgerald to select. Marshal Cooper is homo from Kearney , where ho escorted a girl to the state reform school who was sentenced to a term there by the county court. For a city without a gov ernment , and two days without a 'marshal , Llucoln is doing quite well. Kenowcd energy is observed in the work on buildings not jet completed , and despite the lateness of the season now ones are com menced. Hctwccn heat and cold J. C. Mc- Hrlilo has the excavation work complete for his now block , ami the now Christian church people are excavating for the foundation of their now edifice. Tlio Lincoln Paint and Color company tha located in Lincoln the present year have a heavy stock anil business in running order , with five men on the read. The board of trarta gave the linn ยง 3,000 for locating here. Ono of the present managers of the West Lincoln packing house , known ns No. 1 , is in the city , coming from Chiciigp. The gentle man expresses himself well pleased with the plant but would like to see hogs comity ; in faster , It being nnixmiblc thus fur to s'ecuro the number desired for work. With the increased local business and real estate transactions in West Lincoln , are other notirabla improvements , the principal of which nro the erection of two new business blocks that will bo completed at the earliest possible day. The words of General MeUriile at the board of trade meeting In regard to the half million beet sugar plant , are attracting much attention uml it looks as though the project would bo backed with a will. Feminine New York Sun : Ilumbug is indeed an audacious and successful clement in New York life. A westerner came here to get the furniture and fittings for anew now house. With thooft-mistakon thrift of her f-ox , she mndo up her mind to take advantage of some city sister's mis fortune and buy her belongings "at a sacrifice. " To that end she read Iho ad vertisement , and soon found that sacri fices in Now York were about ns fre quent as they were in the days of Jacob and Isaac. She spent three days in specting them , and finally concluded to take a load of traps of ti family going to Europe , and a piano from a young woman who was forced by cruel circum stances to sell at one-third the original cost , including a box for shipping , a stool , and n coyer. The western speculator later toJd her intentions to a New York friend , who accompanied her on a tour of inspection. They went first to the fiat. The janitor undoubtedly had an in terest in the game , for ho explained how sorxy ho was that Mrs. Morris must soil her nice things , as she was such a good tenant. The cullers wont upstairs to the second fiat , and asked to see the occupants. ' * ! am about purchasing Mrs. Morris' things below , " said she : "Can you give mo anv idea how long they have been used ? " "She hasn't sold since last week Thursday , " said u vinegar-visaged wo man. "It's about time she caught another victim. I'm leaving this house on her account. What with carting in things and carting out things , there' : no peace on the premises. She must n sold out once ti week over since she's been hero. It's all she does , but it's u paying business. " The western ludy was disenchanted but she still clung to the piano scheme and the New Yorker heard the tale , Miss Ellis and her futlior hud struggled together for yours till ho was partial ! ) insane. There was only ono hope tc take him to hifi native Scotland , when ho might recover. For that reason the young lady was selling her doarlo bo1 loved piano , and for just the price o : their passage across the Atlantic When the two women reached Miss Ellis' neat apartmonta , the western wo man sat in the shade of the window curtains , while nor Now York friend did the talking. "For what reason do you part with s < line an instrument at so great a eaerl ileo ? " asked the New Yorker of Mis : Ellis , who in deep mourning described the pianos' perfections. ' 'It's a long , sad story , " said she , will her handkerchief to her eyes , "I htvvt just lost my father and I can't liv < alone hero. I have relatives in London I am English born. I would take m ; piano with me , ns I cannot hope to lint so good u ono ever there , but I can' leave father's grave unmarked. Tin price I have put upon my piano is exactly actly that usKcd for an unpretending monument. I shall know that I hnvi done all In my power to pay loving ro spcct to the best father that eve lived. " "I was hero yesterday , and you father wus out of his mind , but neithc dead or buried , " said the wcstori woman , coming forward. "You have a largo variety of pathotii reasons for tolling this valuable instrument mont , " said the Now York friend , "bu wo certainly couldn't aid you in putting a monument ever your father , who wa insane and alive yesterday. There- i something wrong about your domostl affairs , Miss Ellis , and the authorltio ought to unravel thin mysterious case.1 The piano dealer waxed wroth , am the ladies were glad to escape with i torrent of vituperations following then down the stairs. " 'She catches a tartar once in ft while , ' said a neighbor , "but she sells u lot u pianos. " ' FIELD AND FARM. Winter Work on the Pftrm. , Philadelphia Record : The winter Feason need not necessarily entail idle ness on the fnrm < Much valuable wotk may bq done in wintef ; nnd by a proper and judicious division of farm duties the hurried labor of spring limy bo somewhat avoided. Ono great source of loss in winter is allowing the shocks of corn to remain in the fields to bo in jured by the weather , as well us afford ing harboring places for mice and ver min , instead of hauling the same to the barn , there to remove the cars of corn , and husking them under shelter , by which means the fodder will be brighter and better , while every portion of the stalk may bo conveniently made of some value. The straw stacks- should also bo carried to tlio barn ; there , along with the cornstalks , ' passed through the fodder cutter , to bo reduced into very short lengths , and cither fed to stock or used as bedding. This may cost something for labor , but when it is considered that unemployed help costs as much as that which can be put to service , the real value of the labor is but very little. Every ounce of food saved by preparation iu a clear gain , an d the winter work in that respect is nit , .1 voutinuation of that left over from he fall. The manure heap is another vintcr worcslso ! : > as It is the most im- lortnnt material on the farm. No mat er how cold the weather may be. there ire certain times when the materials of he manure heap require turning ivor. not only to prevent overheating ml to throw the coarser portions to the icntro , where they may , in turn , bo re- luced to a fine condition. Without en- ering into the details of the necessary opairri required for the farm buildings ind fences , and for the inspection of nachinory and implements , the falten- ng of stock is a winter occupation , the vork of which should bo done complote- y before spring in order to bo in readi- ioss for the plow when the frost shall bo out of the ground. Farming is an ill year round business , and permits of 10 idle time , if rightly managed , as it neludes the growing of crops during avorablo setisoiis , to bo manufactured on the farm into milk , butter nnd meat luring the periods when but little can > o done in other respects , for winter : an really be made a busy season if the arincr shall so desire. Scientific Fanners. The intelligent farmer , who. gives to his business , finds his mind occupied with matters belonging to the rear just closing , while he also looks 'orwurd to the season rapidly approach- ng. Have there last .year been failure vith some crops , while others have been musually successful ? Wo should ex- imino into the failures , not to mourn over them , but to ascertain if they were luc to avoidable causes or to natural ihenoincna beyond human control. Wo ire apt to ascribe our losses to a higher lower , but are we so ready to accredit nir successes to the same controlling in- luenco ? The "scientific farmer , " so called , is the sensible farmer who sees .hat all nature , on his farm or off of it , s governed by wise and Immutable aws. These who study to learn what ire these laws , nnd how they can best work with them , are the most success- Ail farmers ; they are called "scien tific. " Seasonable HiiitHunct Suggest Ions. Bees should be kept in some place of an oven temperature , not too warm , yet safe from sudden changes , as the animal heat of the bodies may cause the hive to become uncomfortable , thereby inducing the bees to como out , which may bo fatal. A strong colony need not bo as well sheltered as a weaker one. Care should bo taken that the bees are well snpplicd with honey or sirup sufficient to satisfy them until work shall begin. Sheep that are kept on the old pasture fields should bo driven to the barnyard before u storm , as dampness is injurious. It is almost impossible for sheep to find a sufficiency of food when the snow is on the ground , nnd they suffer from lack of shelter in the fields. Yet there are many farmers who turn the sheep out to support themselvesandsuch asystom is one that always leads to loss. There is no benefit in keeping too much stock. Runts , stunted animalsor those that seem to eat all they can get without gaining in size , should be got rid of. Many losses occur from keeping unprofitable stoco on hand too long" . An animal that does not show the effects of good treatment in a few weeks will bo no better in as many months. Wethers should not bo sent to market until very fat , ns no carcass shows to hotter effect on the stalls when fat than that of the sheep , while the increase in the price for quality will often repay the cost of keeping the sheep , Good wethers find ready sale at all seasons , but there are largo numbers of infor.ior ones shipped to the cities. It is not safe to apply unleachcd wood ashes around the base of very young trees. Ashes give bettor results when spread broadcast ever the surface of the ground around the trees. Cases , are known in which young peach trees have been Injurei } by the application of wood nshcs thickly around and close to the trunks. Ono good cow one that gives a large quantity of milk is more economical than two that do not equal her. The euro of ono animal is less than is re quired for two , while less space is also necessary. Every item tjiat enters intu the cost of keeping the cow increase ! : the cost of the milk. Bran is ono of the cheapest foodsusetl in the rations of cows , but it is most beneficial when fed in connection will : ground grain and cut feed. Put kerosene oil on the plows and other implomcntsasn protection agninsl dampness nnd rust before storing them away for the winter. Any domestic animal understands and appreciates kind treatment. It is nc u.so to say they nro "only dumb brutes.1 It is true , they cannot talk , but like dumb or blind men their intelligence in other respects is doubled. You car make friends of all your animals if yoi take the trouble to do so , and if you should ever feel lonely you can bnnisl : this feeling by going among yom beasts. L. S. Dunham' informs the Michlgai Farmer that he has mndo shecp-raisliifj a study all his life , nnd finds in tin Shropshire just what IH wanted for r general purpose sheep , lie has crossci thorn on grade line wools for six yean in succession , und produced lambs ' tbu would average 120 jwunds nt 'from torte to eleven months old , and which sold foi 0 cents per pound each year at hoim market. Some writci'd advise sprinkling drj slaked lime among tlio potatoes whei they are put in the collar. It may bo i good thing. Fowls seldom tire of milk , They maj oat too much grain or wheat for thoii health , but milk in any form Is paint able nnd healthy. Keep the pig-sty clean. Providt plenty of fresh straw , and miiko it im possible for it to bo the mo-it disguatlnf plnco imaginable and a breeder of fpu disCllOd. , Stock must be Buimlied not only will pomethlnp thnt thoj- can cn't , but some thing they can digest.

It is the opinion of the most experi enced plfi-growcrs that small pens , in mitllclunt number Iq accommodate the herd , are preferable.to one large ono. Even the yard ! ? they run in si ion Id bo Binall , with'u limited number of pigs in each. The weighing of thd milk , testing of the cows , and knowing to a. dollar what ono in doing , is u great help to the dairy farmer. It enables him to got rid of poor milkers und replace them with good ones , and the latter cost no more ta keep or handle than the former. A French hrecdcr pays tlmt by put ting his rams in the prime of life to old ewes in the decline of llfo he never failed to get a largo proportion of ram lamlw. When ho coupled ewes in the prime and vigor of llfo with ram lambs before they were matured ho got u large proportion' owe lambs. Kerosene Is of great help in the proper care of poultry. Their nest boxes should bo oiled with It as n provootiyo of vermin. A few drops occasionally in the drinking water will hinder colds or ronp , and when applied to hculy legs it ntTecls a cure , while is is highly rccom- nended as a eiirc fyi' cholera. It is the opinion of Dr. Ilonkin's thnt here is really no true "grain"to butter , > uro butter being homogeneous in tex- ure. What is called the "grain" is the granular appearance resulting from a rcnoral and equal distribution of briny rater , separating the little pellets of butter that first appear In churning. A subscriber informs us thnt lye is a ertain cure for kidney worms in hogs , lie had a line sow with pigs by her side , vhich was unable to rise upon her hind 'eot. Believing she would not recover , 10 went to his house and procured a < nifo with the purpose of putting an end to her. On his way ho mot a neigh- jor , who , learning his purpose.In formed iltn that ho could euro her with lye. As 10 had a leach sot ho took some lye. ac cording to instructions , stirred in bran mtil it wa 'quito thick , and gave her several feeds in succession. In a few lays she could got up and walk without dilllculty ; he 1ms tried the same remedy n similar cases several times , and it ilways effected a cure. , . . - Waste of Tissue Without Repair. Vigor begins to decline when dyspe.p- tiiiv invades the stomach , and the dis ease , prolonged through neglect , en tails grievous loss of flesh and serious waste of muscular tissue. To invigor- ite thoroughly and speedily , a sound stomach is required. , There Is none comparable to Hosteller's Stomach Bil- Lers , since it institutes , and if con- Linucd , perpetuates a repair of the tis sues , which may havff'declined in bulk , vigor and olaslically In consequence of non-asslmilalion of the food.

It also remedies and prevents malaria and kidney troublesu. and is a prime auxiliary in the recovery of strength for convalescents from , wasting disease. * A THRILLINGADVENTURE. ; At GIoso Quarters With n Rocky Mountain Iiion. David W. Judol , writing in the Amer ican Agriculturist for November , says : With well-bitted horses , a complete out- lit , and "Uncle'1 Pierson as guide , wo left Laramie City , Wyo. Tor. , on a bright July afternoon for the game parks of Colorado and Utah. "Tim" Foley , ono of the original proprietors of the California , gulch ( Leadyillc ) , and , consequently , now possessing untold wealth , had como from his remote Green River cattle ranch to join us on this hunt. Auditor Wcston , of Ne braska , brought with him his son Ralph , to indulge in some general "frontieri&m" before entering college life. The writer , following months of close tugging at the American Agricul turist's' columns , was full of the zest and buoyancy which these far western trips invariably impart. Through the peculiar hazy atmosphere - phoro of the plains , Sheep mountain looked distant only a half hour's drive. Hut it was twilight before wo encamped at its base , and wo had traveled be tween twenty nnd thirty miles. The hindquarters of two jack rabbits graced our spit that night , and what with good appetites and a free use of salt and pep per , our hungry stomachs were readily able to overcome the characteristic toughness nnd tension of those -jacks. Wo were glad enough to got them be fore our expedition ended. Before sun rise the next morning we had "struck" cam ] ) and were on the mote , und all day long wo broke tho' stillness with fre quent discharges of our Winchesters and Sharps rifles at the distant antel ope. ope.Just at dusk we drew up at Pinkham's ranch , in North Park , and were glad enough to avail ourselves of the hospi talities there extended us. Everyone slop soundly that night , the couches , rude as they were , being a decided improvement over the bare ground of the night before. At daybreak wo wcro again under way , and soon our first antelope was brought down. Later on in the day wo encountered these creatures in largo droves , and appar ently never before having seen a human being , they manifested no little curio.-- ity , frequently waiting until wo were right among them bof6ro starting , and then retreating only tl sliort distance to stop und observe our movemimts. Wo could have shot them as readily then as sheep in a barnfold. A few miles fur ther southward , and wo wore in the very heart ot a game rcgjon. Elk , deer , antelope , wild geese nnd ducks , Fage hens and mountain grouse were been day after day , uiitil wo were fairly surfeited with shooting , and for a change devoted ourselves to sight seeing. , Ono August , afternoon wo made the ascent of Helen's mountain , in the range formlng-tho boundary of North Park , Colorado , to catch a view of the superb sweep beyond. It was a long and wearisome climb , hut tbo magnifi cent views stretching far away in every direction richly repaid us. Fur below lay the beautiful Ebtos park , nnd extending - tending far as the eye could reach ap peared peak after peak , .many of thorn covered with snow here In Julyr Nestled beneath us several hundred feet was u minaturo lake covered with ice , whlcli did not viold to the stones hurled upon Its surface. After feasting our vision for some hours wo began the descent , which was very ditjleult , inasmuch us falling win froze as It fell. I took 7ny cartridges from my Winchester , fearing lest I might sliu and dibohnrgo them. When half way down the mountain. WQ reached a small plateau in the contoi of which was a , ' clump of cottonwood - wood trees. Ralph was porhup three rods ahead , and Foly fifteen paojs. I turned from the jmth to this clump of trees for u moment , thinking perhaps I might stnrt rtclnnamon bcnr. Judge of nly dipmnv when n Rocky mountain lion suddenly sprang from the thicket , resiledipon a broken tree not twenty feet away , nnd. eaytige-ly glaring upon me , apKirently | prepared to spring upon the Intruder who had entered IIM lair. It was a most exciting moment. I quickly brought my rlllo to the shoul der , and aiming between his eyes , draw tho'trigger , to no olTcct. Again and again I attempted to discharge the rlllo , forgetting In the suspense that thu car tridges had been withdrawn. It wim indeed a trying ordeal. If I stopped to remove what was an Imperfect cartridge and substitute another one , or If I turned aMd fled , the glaring creature , who looked to mo as big as n buffalo , would iMninco ujKm mo and tear mo to pieces in n jifTyl I did neither , but fortu- natolv had sulliclent presence of mind remaining to whistle in a low tone to Foley just ahead. He turned , nnd taking in the situation at a glance , quick as a lightning flash sent a bullet through the luiimnl's heart. "You look a little pale , Mr. .Indd , " -exclaimed in a half humorous mannoras he quietly camuback tome , "t do not think that you could blame anybody for being rather pale under Iho circumstances ! " I responded. It was very fortunate for mo that I had no bullet in my rifle ; being in such close proximity , I should undoubtedly have shot high above the point aimed at , and barely grazed his skull , when the then wounded and con sequently infuriated animal would have jumped and finished mo in short order. On Inspecting the surroundings wo found the remains of an antelope clo'-o jy , upoil "hi-jll ho now dead "enemy" Tad gorged himself. I am told ihat when near evening one of these moun- ain lions delivers its peculiar roar , the mtelopo for li long distance around are 'airly terrorized and lice for miles. Unlike'iMr. Roosevelt , ! have never { illod griz/.lies at short range , nnd I do ipl care again to meet n lion tinder such circumstances. Ho appeared to bo as argo as any of tlio genuine Africans which 1 have seen in the menageries , mil a few days later , nt the railway sta tion at Rock Creek , wo saw ono of thcso Hooky mountain lions , which considor- ibly exceeded in sif.o the imported Atrican caged near him. That night ifoung the camp-llro the reader may jo sure wo had a very exciting story to inrrato to Uncle Pierbon and Auditor Weston , who had remained in the val- , oy while we made the ascent. Cured ol' Jluy Fever. This is the season for hay fever and catarrh the latter is never out of season in America and those afllicted with either or both troubles will apprec iate this letter from Joshua Harvey , of No. 5010 Elm avenue , Philadelphia , Pa. : I liavo used Allcock'n Porous Plasters Tor thirty years , and have always found them efficacious in coughs , colds , pul monary complaints , rheumatism , and pains in the back. I also was subject to violent attacks of catarrh or hay fever ; to euro this I cut a strip sufficient to cover the forehead all over und np- plied it on going to bed. Slept well and got up with a clear head and nose stopped running , eyes bright , and all pain in the head and nose gone. Some times I am attacked with extreme hoarseness , but always relieved by an Allcock's Porous Plaster around the throat. . A SnrmiHtlu Parallel. Boston Globe : A Boston man hns cal culated that of a lioO,000 edition of ono of the popular magazines the weight would be ninety-four tons ; that piled over each other they would form n mountain nearly 2,000 feet higher than Mount Washington ; that placed end to end they would stretch thirty-nine miles ; that the sheets before folding would cover JJOO ncres , and that the leaves placed end to end would extend across the continent. Which calls forth from another source this bitter paragragh : "It has been estimated that if all the bores who got up statistics in regard to magazines were placed endways , their coffins would reach from Now York to California. If the total number of lies which we are inclined to think they tell were set in solid brevier typo in ono column , it would be ninety-nine and cightj furlongs long. If the brains required to produce this nonsense were put in one small wooden head they would rattle around at the rate of eighty- six beats to the minute.

Detroit Free Press : A young fellow who was about half tipsy slopped in front of a woman who was grinding a wheczv hand organ on one of the prin cipal thoroughfares the other evening and said. "I'll give you n half dollar , old girl , if you'll lot mo see your face. The woman's head was enveloped in a black shawl. She glanced up , saw a fifty cent picco in his fingers and quickly pushed the shawl back from her face. Ho saw it. The woman looked in good health and there was rather U cunning smile in her eyes.
