General James B. Weaver , the populist
candidate for the presidency at the last
election , addressed n couple of hundred mem
bers of the party and others last evening at
Hughes' hall. There were r. number of
ladies in the audience , and his effort re
ceived close attention. However little one
may agree with 'him in hi * beliefs , the ad
mission must be made that Mr Weaver has
about as smooth way of presenting his falla
cious doctrines as any one could wish to see ,
and even while one Is disposed to smile at
the agility with which he rides on entirely
d literal t platforms , o-ie must admire the
gracefulness which he manifests in his polit
ical gymnastics. CD CD
He enaeavored to set at rest the popular
notion that ho has been In the habit of
blowing about into any party that happened
to bo handiest He said he had belonged to
only two parties , the republican and the
peoples. With reference to the greenback
and the union labor parties , he did not con
sider thtm distinct parties. In fact , he con
sidered his position about the same as that
of a man who married a wife whoso name
was Surah. He might call her Sallie , or
Sadie , or-Aunt Sallie , but the charge of blg-
am.v would never stick.
Most of his argument , as usual , was with
reference to the money question and the
government control of the telegraph and
r.ulroads. The jwwer of regulating com
merce between the states , which is given to
congress by the federal constitution , he
thinks extends , to the telegraph and the rail
roads as well as to the postal sjs'.em , and ho
thinks congress should take immediate steps
tow.ird exercising its riirhts.
With regard to the result of the vote in
the last election , he did not think the iicurcs
would bear out the theory that democratic
principles were adopted by the majority of
the citizens of the country The republicans
and the populists together cast more votes
than the democrats , so that it was merely
an accidental victory for democracy.

I'actn Concerning T < < niper.tturo and Trcclpl-
t lit Ion from th Weather linrrau ,
WASHINGTON , D. C. , March 3. Mark W.
Harrington , chief of the weather bureau ,
has issued the following concerning Febru
ary's weather :
The month of February , 18fl3 , has been
colder than usual throughout all sections , ex
cept the southern iwrtious of the south At
lantic and east Gulf states and New Mexico.
Over the region named there has been a
slight excess "of temi > erarue. but over
all other agricultural districts the daily
mean temperature ranged from 8 = to 9 = be
low the normal. The coldest region Includes
Montana nnd adjoining states , where the de
parture from the normal ranged from 0 = to
9 = . It was unusually cold in the central
Mississippi valley , where the departure
from the normal exceeded C = , while in the
Atlantic coast districts and on the Pacific
coast , the mouth , although colder than
usual , the mean temperature dlSferod but
slightly from the normal.
During the first week of February the
temperature was unusually low over the
Northwest , aud including the greater par-
lion of the winter wheat bolt from Illinois
westward to Kansas , and the second week
was still more trying over the entire winter
wheat t > olt , owing to unusual cold and ice ,
while the third and fourth weeks of the
month were more favorable , although the
average tem | > eraturo over this region was
below the normal.

i the cutre winter h.m * x. n i "J ler t'i ' in usual

I ture ini'e > fX-toiieruvnr * ntxtmsie per

during whU-h it wns whflner than usual In
the iioeky mountain districts , but it wag
unusually cold over Ifif entern half of the
. 'nited States The nxwds , therefore , show
.hut the principM fsnnfhff districts have ex-
icrienced four conseeut-ivc mouths of unuuu-
nlly cold weather.
There has been nfiVkcwn of rainfall gen-
? rally over the districts' east of the Mlssls-
ilppl during the motth.of February , except
'
n 'lorida , southeast.Alabama and south-
t Georgia. Slight excesses in prccltilta-
Ion are also reported in the spring wheat
region and in OregonWashington and north *
irn California.
The month was relatively dry In the Mis
sissippi valley , Missouri. Kansas and the
southwest. Compared with the January
chart of the weather crop bulletin it will be
seen that the largo deficiency then reported
to the cast of the Mls isslpp [ , excepting Illi
nois , has been replaced by excessive
rains and snows during the current month ,
and while the January deficiency in thn Mis
sissippi valley nnd southwest has been fol-
owed by a further out slighter deficiency
during February H should be noted , how
ever , that this region received heavy rain-
'alls during December , I'-.y.
At the close of the mouth the country was
covered with snow generally in districts
north of the 40th parallel , from New Etig-
and westward to the Hocky mountains , the
depth of snow over the greater portion of
New England , the lake region and Minnesota
seta , exceeding twelve inches , and in some
ilaces in New Enirland , Minnesota and Wis
consin exceeding thirty inches. The greater
ortlon of the winter wheat has been unpro-
.ected during the month , although the
northern portion of the belt is now covered
with snow.

Field Minstrels will hold the boards at the
Farnam Street theater for three nights.
They everywhere present an entertainment
not less brilliant than that which hns so
frequently delighted the metropolis with its
completeness. For years they have enjo.\ed
lhaenviable distinction of being among the
bestftind their hold on public esteem nnd
confidence was never stronger than at the
present time , due to the care they have al
ways successfully exercised in making their
entertainment as refin d as it is clever und
amusing. Lovers of good music and whole
some fun should avail themselves of thisop
portunity to see America's representative
minstrels , as this will be their only uppQur-
nuce here this season. Matinee Saturday , j

ance the beautiful souvenir which is pre
sented to every lady visitor , the clever list
of specialties , which precede the drama and

always be a favorite play. Today the little
folks have their matinee , and tomorrow will

GENEROUS ' RAILROADS.
Oltlug Knorinoiis Commissions on 1'aclllc
Const Itiu-incsK.
That rates to the Pacific coast arc de
moralized from Missouri river points is a
fact well known to passenger officials in this
city , but just how far. the demoralization extends -
tends is food for thought with lines in in-
terest.
Yesterday the Koclc island on train No.
took out quite n number ofcj > eople for
California points , and ns some of these people
ple are directly off tlo ) line of the Union Pa
cific , Northwestern nnd Burlington , the
natural question is "Who is footing the
billf"
From West Superior ? Wis. , on the line of
the Northwestern71 'party of eight is going
in charge of L. E. "Lewis , a prominent gen
tleman of that city. From Perry , la , five
are booked for passage , from Harlan , la. ,
two , from Fremont on the Union Pa
cific three , from Falls City one ,
from Lincoln one , while three
people who reside in Portland avail them
selves of the Kov'k Island's excursion to go
with the party.
It is openly asserted by the Rock Island's
competitors that that road is paying enor
mous commissions to secure California busi
ness , $7.50 fjom the Missouri river to Denver
being the basis upon which its late business
has been secured , while $10 rebates
are very common to the Pacific coast. On
the other hand the same charges arc made
against the Burlington-lid Union Pacific ,
untiloit would appear as f ull the California
roads are interested In demoralizing rates.
Mr. Lomax stated this morning that the
boycotted roads were doing some things that
were past his mortal ken , and he thought
the Kock Island must be giving free trans
portation to sonio of the people going to
California , else the business naturally would
go by his road.
"The idea of a sane person from Fremont
on the Union Pacific coming to Omaha to go
by the Kock Island to California is too deep
for my understanding , for the rate is exactly
the same. Still us long as the pass
enger earnings of the Union Pacific

HEADACHE AND WEAKNESS.

"Oh , how my head aches ! "
Far too often is this exclamation made
j some Buffering womitn. She is weak
and nervous , nnd some excitement , some
strain on the nerves , has brought on a
racking headache , She has chlllv feel
ings , a sickness at the stomach , and
other painful symptoms , but above nil
she has this throbbing , this norro-spllt-
tlng aching of the head which nothing
seems to relieve.
Can nothing bo done to relieve this
terrible acony ?
"Yes , " Is tllo answer given by Dr.
Laury McHenry , u celebrated physician
who has devoted u lifetime to the study
and cure of just such trubles as those.
Ho says :
"Take things easier. Do not fret. Do
what you can and don't worry about
work left undone. Sleep more than you
do , Now there arc many moans of
speedy relief , but the cure that 1 want
you to make is thorough , complete and
lasting , and like all things well dono.
requires patience. To sum it all up :
The radical , permanent euro for sick
headache in weak , nervous women must
combine the following : A general toning
ot the system , regular habits and plenty
of sloop at the right time. "
"Yes , you say , I would gladly try any
thing to bo freed from the suffering 1
endure , but how is it to bo done ? What
shall I take for it ? There are so many
remedies , how am 1 to cheese the right
one ? These are reasonable questions ;
there are so immy tonics , nervines , sar-
taparillastand other concoctions claimed
to bo ready reliefs , but which , in real
ity , only make matters worse. Physi
cians will tell you that there is only one
safe and reliaolo cure known to medical
cloaca th'it really does soothe and nour
ish the wornout nerves , permanently
cures hcadticho of every kind , and
strengthens the system. What this
great remedy is and what it will do for
suffering women is best told in the words
of some who have tested it. Hero is
what a. few well known women have to
say about Us wonderful powers :
Helen Ashlana Kean , who wrote ,
' When the Tide Comes In1 and many
other popular songs , and who resides n't
Hartford , Conn. , suys : "One year ago I
lay at death's door , a complete mental
and physical wreck. I had neither hope
nor ambition enough to desire life. My
dear little children had ceased to give
me joy or cheer. I was moody by day ,
despondent ntid sleepless at uight. At
times I fell into a sort of trance , losing
all power over nerve or muscle. My
nf
foot and hands wore like ice and heart
almost pulseless. In such a state , tny
nurse and friend ndniiuifetcrd something
for which I was always profoundly gratc-
sul. Tne first dose- impacted warmth to
my body. J began to gain visibly , rap
idly and steadily , day by day. I feel
now as if I could endure everything
without , its tiring me , aud it is all due
to that grand discovery , that wonderful
specific for the nerves that conquers all
prostration , Palno's 'celery compound.
My literary labors are such that I write
sometimes far into the 'woo sma hours , '
consuming the midnight oil , but not us
of yore , consuming brain , nerve- and
muoelo without their being replenished.
I would not bo without this grand com
pound for its 'weight in gold. ' "
To the same effect are the ernest , out
spoken words of Mrs. C. E. Prescott ,
who resides at No. 8 Worcester street ,
Cambridgeport , Mass. , which areas fol
lows :
"Thoro is nothing liko'Painp's celery
compound. It hns helped me wonder
fully. For more than five years I have
boon troubled with constipation. My
heart was so weak that I could not do
any kind of work without a terrible
throbbing. Ever since I can remember
I have had nervous headaches of the
woret sort. I have taken several bottles
of Paino's celery compound nnd find it
the only thing that helps me. I heartily
recommend it to all suffering from the
complaint with which I wasattlictedfor
this compound has done me such a mar
velous amount of good that I want
others to know of its value. "
Can anything mo more convincing
than this ? And if this great compound
could do so much for these ladies , may it
not bo just what you require to prevent
the coining on of untimely age , the
withering of the energies , and drooping
of the life ? If this great discovery has
been 6O _ * rand a friend of thousands ,
docs it not stand to reason that it may
also prove a friend to you ?
