W nhm. IRA L. BAKE, Editor and Propbietob SUBSCRIPTION KATES. Bctret lheKorikPleKebrta) f tcond-cla- f (setter. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 17, 18&). J.v M. Jnr.T succeeds Wade' Hampton ::s United States Senator from Sculh Carolina. Mr. Trbvs election is tie iBrst triumph of the Farmer's Alliance in a senatorial contest. TflE Kwirnev New Era says: The "honci-- t rcars" who voted recently "for'Te'ftom." rroFperity and a re- vival of trade. are silently waiting, for the "good times" anticipated. It has been suggested that if Senator Stanford has really at heart the welfare of the poor tax pavers be should loan them money instead of asking the government todo so. Stanfords pile of lucre if estimated at eighty millions. Kansas isTapidly gaining a repu- tation as being the breeding ground for political parties, the latest one Vine called the Knights of Keci-procit- v. The title is favorable, but as the organization is a secret one it will probably die young. At present the politics of Kansas is badly dis- turbed. C. D. SHKADER,of Logan county, is an aspirant for the speakership of the lower bouse and it is said he has a fair chance of being elected. Shradcr could handle the farmer legislators about as well as any one, but there are a few Republican and Democratic members who may make it a little warm for him.. However he has our indorsement for the position. : The Logan county alliance passed a resolution last week petitioning the coming legislature to appropri- ate at least S500,000 for the purpose of supplying those farmers who are in need of seed, feed "and the nec- essaries of life. Such petitions are unnecessary, as the men who are to form Nebraska legislature this winter are acquainted with the needs of the drouth stricken farmers and will act accordingly. The latest drawback to Gov-ele- ct Boyd taking his seat is that he has never been naturalized. A recent dispatch trom Zanesviue, u., says: "A curious complicatiou has arisen in the case of Governor-ele- ct Boyd of Nebraska. He was born in Ire- land in 1834 and came to this city 11 I il T 1 TJ J - mtn ins rattier, .loseun uovu. iu 2 849. His father fled notice of his intention to become a citizen, but iliil-m- nt takeout final naiiera until November, 1890. The Ron did ' not take out papers; here, and it is stated that he has never been naturalised in Nebraska. The statues provide that where a father is naturalized his sons under twenty-oo- e years of age are- - naturalized In this case the father filed his declaration in 1849, but did not take out final papers until 1800." Wt, AND ST YOU GUNS. A great party can survive a defeat. Bnt to crawfish and back Sown from pronounced convictions and deliberate declarations is to court 'defeat ind disruption. If anvthin? was established by the election two Team ago it the people of this country jibMnced -- fdr nrotectiod. - that apostle of free trade, Grov-- r Cleve- land: with the Demoaraticjiarty of ihe United States and "all England" aat his backinsisted that the issue as distinctly free trade as agaiust protection. The Republican party accepted the issue and a great battle was fought squarely on that issue. The result was a decided victory for protection. A Republican house was elected pledged to pass a tariff bill. The McKinley bill was the result. The assumption that the people passed judgment upon that bill in the late election is entirely wrong. Only in McKinley 's district in Ohio, was there a square fight on the tariff issue, and the whole country knows in that gerrymand- ered district McKinley reduced the Democratic majority from 2.900 at the last election to less than 300. This talk of repealing or remodeling Ihe tariff reform bill passed at the last session of Congress by a few weak-knee- d Republicans is worse than useless, it is criminal, as tending to unsettle the business of the country for months to come. These wiser-thau-their-pa- rty Re- publicans, of whom Senator Pad- dock appears to be one, had best get into the saddle again and stand by the party that made it possible for them to reach their present position. W. COMMISSIONER'S PROCEEDINGS. Dec". 10th, 1890. The board of county commission- ers met pursuant to adjournment; full board present. - E. W. Crane, distributing agent of Lincoln County Relief Committee of "supplies from the state relief committee is hereby authorized to employ such help as is needed in unloading coal, groceries or grain that may be shipped to North Platte for distribution.

Consent road No. 130, filed Oct. 30, 1890, signed by F. Kade, H. T. Johnson and twenty-on- e others, came up for final action. The petition reads as follows: Commencing at a point eighty rods north of. the southeast corner of section 28-13-- 29, thence north to nort beaat corner of section 28-13--29, joining public highway No. 72; all of said road to be on section 28-1- 3 29; and we also petition your honor- able body to vocate and-abolis- h the following ' described road to-w- it: Commencing at a point eighty rods north of southeast corner of section 28-13-- 26, thence northwesterly to the quarter in the middle of said section 28-13-- 29, thence west to section line, ending at the north- west corner of southwest quarter section 28-13-2- 9. - The above road being a consent road and the location of the road previously established being prayed for'it is "therefore ordered by the board that consent road No. 130 be and the same is hereby declared tn be a public highway from and aft r this date. The remonstrance ot J W. Beaton and fifteen others - gainst the establishment of lioad No. 130 was not granted. The countv clerk was instructed to notify O. H. Weeks, overseer of Dist.

Also taxes paid by U. P. Dick on south.-- : west quarter section 32-16-- 29. When the board of adjourned to meet Dec. 12th. KITXEK ritECINCT. A very destructive prairie fire passed through our section of the country doing much damage. It seeufs that the most ill-fat- ed ones for fires have been W. C. Ritner's folks, the fire came out of the hills directly north of their house and burnt in an east and Southern course, burning up about 100 worth of haj' for him and a small amouut for other parties, but Mr. Ritner was the most serious loser. M. C. Lindsay lost a small barn. It would be a good thing if people of the north side would take more pains to have hre guards; jf they would all work together it would be easy for all. A brother of W. C. and J. R Ritner arrived from the east recent ly. The Gleaner wishes him pleasant visit. Miss Florence McNeil is at home complaining of a slight illness. We hope she will soon be able to resume her duties as teacher. Gibbon Birtland had the mis- fortune to loose a valuable horse. Case brothers are still handling baled hay; the' are energetic 3'oung men. R. M. Hopkins has removed his cattle from W. Siebold's to his homestead on the south side of the South river in Baker precinct. F. Camble and-W- . Allen have re- turned home. As playing "freeze-out- " in a'tent isn't much fun it is not known whether they will bale any more or not. ' D. B." McNeal took a iinuch of forty-fo- ur three year old steers to the city stock yards, for feeding purposes in the eastern part of the state. They were a fine lot and spoke well for the class of cattle handled bv him. S. Harafield, of the West Bird-woo- d, was through here lately' and reports crops up that way good and they have some produce for sale. Mr. Hupfer has a party of hunt- ers stoppiBg at his house cathing the industrious-- black and white cat commonlv called a skunk. Evi dently Mr. H. does not want to do business in town and run a cattery ia the country, its pretty expensive.

A Sunday school is to be organ- ized in'our new school house in the near future, with the assistance of Mrs. W. C. Ritner it should be both profitable and interesting. A good work of the kind is needed. Gleaner. BIRDWOOD PKECIXCT. As nearly all my neighbors have gone to North Platte to attend the law suit, I am somewhat lonesome and I will once more give you the the news. The law suit I spoke of is a very important one, as it is two champions who have locked horns Hingland against America. The Alliance meets w night at the lower school house. We are preparing to send a good Alliance man to the White House iu ninety-tw- o. The Bird wood 'sufferers are get- ting anxious about that free coal. Every sufferer says there cant be another load of chips found in this country My peaceful slumber was dis- turbed last night by a loud yelling up the creeK ana to aay i learned that it was Mi thrashing his yellow coon cause he wonld not hunt, says if that purp goes back '. Feigin dog on him he will have to accept aid. Will Somers was up on the Bird-woo- d a few days ago andjhe told me confidentially, that he had traveled over Hengland, Hireland and arf way across Hamerica and studied the habits and customs of different nations, but the Bird wood sufferers have tne strangest customs of any tribe he ever saw.He says that every sufferer goes around with a law book under one arm and a shot gun under the other. George Sherman had a curious adventure the other day. He was down to the creek skating on the t ill ice and tell down anu Diimpea a hole through the ice and killed a pike sixteen inches long. Since then George wears his hair Mr. Rupp was assisting the school to-da- y. I think that he has some notion of getting manned again. Who's That. THE PUEBLO & DDLUTH RAILROAD . From Tribune December Stti.. Mr. Hitchcock has returned from his eastern trip, and is well satisfied with the result of his visit. The company he represents is now in good shape for effective work, and railroad men with whom lie con- ferred consider the project one of the very best. Neligh has been looking after her railroad interests of late, and our people appear to be a unit in favor of an earnest endeavor to secure another through line of com- munication with the east. A majority of our citizens would, not lift a hand to secure any plug road or an ordinary cross road, but when an enterprise like -- the one now under consideration is inaugurated; a line that will give us not only competing lines 6f travel, but com peting markets at the terminal points as well, thus assuring actual rather than nominal and delusive competition, we immediately be- come a united band of workers for the enterprise. At the public meet- ing held in court house ball last Thursday evening, the 20th, the f t reeling of was unanimous in favor doing all we reasonably can to secure the location of the road through our town. A committee consisting of Krvger, Roben, Roche, Coleman, Hatfield and Maybury was appointed to invite all the towns along the proposed road from Concord in Dixon county to Ord in Valley county to send delegates to a conference to be held in Neligh Dec, lltb, 1890, at which Mr. Hitchcock will be present. In this connection the following letter will be of interest to our readers: North Platte, Neb., ) Nov., 13, 1890. f Editor Antelope Tribune: 1 have only recently learned of Dwight "Hitchcock's connection with the proposed Pueblo & Duluth railroad company, and after a per- sonal acquaintance since way back in the CO s I can congratulate the company on having, as one of its incorporators, a man possessed of so much sound judgment and ener- getic executive ability as I know Mr. Hitchcock to have. I know him to be a man who does not yield to small obstacles, nor allow dis- couraging circumstances to divert him from the pursuit of the object in view. I have also the pleasure of an acquaintance with another of the incorporators, Mr. James Hunter, aud know him as a successful finan- cier in the great financial center of this" conn try, New York. The con- nection of these gentlemen with the enterprise should be an assurance of success. Can you send me a copy of your paper containing some history of this proposed railroad in which I take a deep interest? Yours truly, A. D. Buck worth. J. P. Price proprietor of "Repub- lican Valley Farm," of Stratton, .Hitchcock county, Nebrask, writes to the officers of the Pueblo & Duluth railroad under date of Oct. 29th as follows: "We are very anxious about the building of the Pueblo Duluth railroad. We want the lumber from the northeast, and" they want our grain and stock and other numerous resources of th s south-wes- l, to say nothing of the traffic with Mexico and South America, which country abounds in mineral wealth. We of the southwest think the building of the Peublo & Duluth railroad one of the grandest railroad schemes of the United States, as it runs the boundary of no other road, and cannot help beingapaying road when completed." Hastings, Neb., Aug. 30, 1S90. To the Antelope -- Tribune: . I have known Dwight Hitchcock Esq., for nearly thirty years. I knew him when we were both young men, each having a few hundred dollars in our respective lines of business, located in a small town in Illinois when we struggled along with more or less success for years trying as best we could to support "those dependent upon us and add to our small stock of mer- chandise. I knew Mr. H. and had intimate business relations with him in after years .when he had become identified with prominent railroad projects, and have noticed his course through all these years, and 1 must say that it gives me great pleasure to learn of his connection with the Pueblo & Duluth R. R. Co. I know nothing of the merits the enter- prise presents, but have great faith in the ability,, energy and judgment of Mr. II., and if the others asso- ciated are possessed with the same ability energy and push, backed up by reasonable capital, the project, in my judgment, cannot fail. I will just add that if the .Tames Hunter whose name I see in tl: list of incorporators is from New York City and a former associate of Mr. Hitchcock it is a very fortunate alliance, as I have known Mr. Hunter for twenty years and more and could not speak too highly of his ability as a financier. Respectfully 'ours, A. L. Clarke. For the benefit of our readers we would say that Mr. Clarke is presi- dent of the First National Bank of Hastings, Nebraska, and ""mayor of that city. He was president of the State Bankers' convention that met in Omaha last winter. The Mr. James Hunter, referred to by Mr. Clarke is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and vice president and financial agent of the Pueblo & Duluth Railroad Com- - panr. OLD FOLKS AT HOME.

Did you ever buy a horse and not have some misgivings as to his points till they were fully tested? Not so with Ayer's Sarsaparilla; you may be sure of it at the start. It never disappoints those who give it a fair aud persistent trial. General Humphrey of Kansas says the Farmers' Alliance people are not as wildly erratic a crowd as has been represented. He. does not exppct that they will attempt any really-craz-y legislation in his State this winter.

The New York and Ohio apple crop is a failure and the eastern market will this year depend on Missouri and Kansas. For the first time in the hitory-t- f the cpuutry, buyers have been driven west of the Mississippi river to supply the east with apples. The largest and most profitable orchard in the west, if not in the entire country, is owned by Wellhouse and Wheat, near Leavenworth. The apples in this orchard sold at 3 per barrel. As the orchard yielded 12,000 barrels, the profit on the 450 acres of or- chard land amounted to more than 30,000. Nearly all colds are slight, at first, but their tendency is to so lower the s'stem that the sufferer becomes a ready victim to any prevalent dis- ease. The use of "Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, in the beginning ofa cold, would guard against this danger. J. D. Calhoun, the versatile edi- tor of the Lincoln Herald, in a brief talk to the Democratic Jeaders of the State, says: '"The approachiDg collapse of the democracy ought to be avoided in some wa and now is a good time for the men who direct the party to begin to give it thought. Whatever is done must be done be- fore the coming legislature shall have finished its work. The day it adjourns sees the conditions for the next two 3'ears fixed without the possibility of chitngc.

I have been a druggist twenty-thre- e vears, and have sold all the "patent medicines which arc known in this country, and can truthtully say that I have never known a rem- edy for Blood Diseases of more value than S. S. S. (Swift's Specific). Mr. A., a customer, was troubled with an eruption of the skin on the back of his hands, and had in vain sought relief of the best local medical-talen- t, also of some of the mojt noted specialists iu New York, and as a last resort spent some months in Paris, France, under treatment of the physicians there, and had secured only temporary relief. After all this treatment he was finally cured, sound and well, by Swift's Specific. Another customer, Mr. B., had suffered for many years with Blood Poison, and thought he had been cured by mercurial treatment, but the disease returned, accompanied by Rheumatism of a bad type. A dozen small bottlos of S. S. S. made a perfect and lasting cure. VV. H. Desasway, Old Fort. N". C. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. Farmer Frank Efarney, ten miles south of Nebraska City had forty aqres of winter wheat this season that averaged over forty-seve- n bushels to the acre. Edgar Clay-ton'jie- ar Peru also boasts of eighty acres of corn yielding seventy bnshels to the acre.. Another farmer in that neighborhood states that he is harvesting forty bushels from a field of about sixty acres of corn for thirty-tw- o successive years, and it was a poor stand this summer. Mr. Rice, of Brownville, states that one of his neighbors sold from his orchard of four acres, $1,300 worth of. apples and retains an abundaut supply for family use.

The laws of health are taught in the schools; but not in a wny to be of much practical benefit and are never illustrated by living examples which in many cases might easily be done. If some scholar, who had just contracted a cold, was brought before the school, so that all could hear the drjr, loud cough and know its significance; see the thin white coating on the tongue and later, as the cold developed, see the profuse watery expectoration and thin watery discharge from the nose, not one of them would ever forget what the first symptoms of a cold were. The scholar should then be given Chamberlain's Cough Remedv freely, that all might see that even a severe cold could be cured in one or two days, or at least greatly mit- igated, when properly treated as soon as the first symptoms appear. This remedy is famous for its cures of coughs, colds and croup. It is inade especially for these diseases and is the most prompt and most reliable medicine known for the purpose. 50 cent bottles for sale by A. F. Streitz, Druggist.

J.v M. Jnr.T succeeds Wade'

Hampton ::s United States Senatorfrom Sculh Carolina. Mr. Trbvs

election is tie iBrst triumph of theFarmer's Alliance in a senatorialcontest.

TflE Kwirnev New Era says: The

"honci-- t rcars" who voted recently

"for'Te'ftom." rroFperity and a re-

vival of trade. are silently waiting,for the "good times" anticipated.

It has been suggested that if

Senator Stanford has really at heartthe welfare of the poor tax pavers

be should loan them money instead

of asking the government todo so.

Stanfords pile of lucre if estimated

at eighty millions.

Kansas isTapidly gaining a repu-

tation as being the breeding ground

for political parties, the latest one

Vine called the Knights of Keci-procit- v.

The title is favorable, but as

the organization is a secret one itwill probably die young. At present

the politics of Kansas is badly dis-

turbed.

C. D. SHKADER,of Logan county, isan aspirant for the speakership ofthe lower bouse and it is said he hasa fair chance of being elected.Shradcr could handle the farmerlegislators about as well as any one,but there are a few Republican andDemocratic members who may makeit a little warm for him.. Howeverhe has our indorsement for theposition.

: The Logan county alliance passeda resolution last week petitioningthe coming legislature to appropri-ate at least S500,000 for the purposeof supplying those farmers who arein need of seed, feed "and the nec-

essaries of life. Such petitions areunnecessary, as the men who areto form Nebraska legislature thiswinter are acquainted with theneeds of the drouth stricken farmersand will act accordingly.

The latest drawback to Gov-ele- ct

Boyd taking his seat is that he hasnever been naturalized. A recentdispatch trom Zanesviue, u., says:"A curious complicatiou has arisenin the case of Governor-ele- ct Boydof Nebraska. He was born in Ire-

land in 1834 and came to this city11 I il T 1 TJ J -mtn ins rattier, .loseun uovu. iu

2 849. His father fled notice of hisintention to become a citizen, butiliil-m-

nt takeout final naiiera untilNovember, 1890. The Ron did ' nottake out papers; here, and it is statedthat he has never been naturalisedin Nebraska. The statues providethat where a father is naturalizedhis sons under twenty-oo-e years ofage are- - naturalized In this casethe father filed his declaration in1849, but did not take out finalpapers until 1800."

that

apostle of free trade, Grov-- r Cleve-

land: with the Demoaraticjiarty ofihe United States and "all England"

aat his backinsisted that the issueas distinctly free trade as agaiust

protection. The Republican partyaccepted the issue and a great battlewas fought squarely on that issue.The result was a decided victory forprotection. A Republican housewas elected pledged to pass a tariffbill. The McKinley bill was theresult. The assumption that thepeople passed judgment upon thatbill in the late election is entirelywrong. Only in McKinley 's districtin Ohio, was there a square fight onthe tariff issue, and the wholecountry knows in that gerrymand-ered district McKinley reduced theDemocratic majority from 2.900 atthe last election to less than 300.This talk of repealing or remodelingIhe tariff reform bill passed at thelast session of Congress by a fewweak-knee- d Republicans is worsethan useless, it is criminal, astending to unsettle the business ofthe country for months to come.These wiser-thau-their-pa- rty Re-

publicans, of whom Senator Pad-

dock appears to be one, had bestget into the saddle again and standby the party that made it possiblefor them to reach their presentposition. W.

KITXEK ritECINCT.A very destructive prairie fire

passed through our section of thecountry doing much damage. Itseeufs that the most ill-fat- ed onesfor fires have been W. C. Ritner'sfolks, the fire came out of the hillsdirectly north of their house andburnt in an east and Southerncourse, burning up about 100worth of haj' for him and a smallamouut for other parties, but Mr.Ritner was the most serious loser.M. C. Lindsay lost a small barn. Itwould be a good thing if people ofthe north side would take more painsto have hre guards; jf they would allwork together it would be easy forall.

A brother of W. C. and J. RRitner arrived from the east recently. The Gleaner wishes himpleasant visit.

Miss Florence McNeil is at homecomplaining of a slight illness. Wehope she will soon be able to resumeher duties as teacher.

Gibbon Birtland had the mis-

fortune to loose a valuable horse.Case brothers are still handling

baled hay; the' are energetic 3'oungmen.

R. M. Hopkins has removed hiscattle from W. Siebold's to hishomestead on the south side of theSouth river in Baker precinct.

F. Camble and-W- . Allen have re-

turned home. As playing "freeze-out- "

in a'tent isn't much fun it isnot known whether they will baleany more or not. '

D. B." McNeal took a iinuch offorty-fo- ur three year old steers tothe city stock yards, for feedingpurposes in the eastern part of thestate. They were a fine lot andspoke well for the class of cattlehandled bv him.

S. Harafield, of the West Bird-woo- d,

was through here lately' andreports crops up that way good andthey have some produce for sale.

Mr. Hupfer has a party of hunt-ers stoppiBg at his house cathingthe industrious-- black and white catcommonlv called a skunk. Evidently Mr. H. does not want to dobusiness in town and run a catteryia the country, its pretty expensive.

Who's That.

THE PUEBLO & DDLUTH RAILROAD .From Tribune December Stti..

Mr. Hitchcock has returned fromhis eastern trip, and is well satisfiedwith the result of his visit. Thecompany he represents is now ingood shape for effective work, andrailroad men with whom lie con-

ferred consider the project one ofthe very best.

Neligh has been looking afterher railroad interests of late, andour people appear to be a unit infavor of an earnest endeavor tosecure another through line of com-munication with the east. Amajority of our citizens would, notlift a hand to secure any plug roador an ordinary cross road, but whenan enterprise like -- the one nowunder consideration is inaugurated;a line that will give us not onlycompeting lines 6f travel, but competing markets at the terminalpoints as well, thus assuring actualrather than nominal and delusivecompetition, we immediately be-

come a united band of workers forthe enterprise. At the public meet-ing held in court house ball lastThursday evening, the 20th, thef treelingof

was unanimous in favordoing all we reasonably can to

secure the location of the roadthrough our town. A committeeconsisting of Krvger, Roben, Roche,Coleman, Hatfield and Mayburywas appointed to invite all thetowns along the proposed road fromConcord in Dixon county to Ord inValley county to send delegates toa conference to be held in NelighDec, lltb, 1890, at which Mr.Hitchcock will be present.

In this connection the followingletter will be of interest to ourreaders:

have only recently learned ofDwight "Hitchcock's connectionwith the proposed Pueblo & Duluthrailroad company, and after a per-

sonal acquaintance since way backin the CO s I can congratulate thecompany on having, as one of itsincorporators, a man possessed ofso much sound judgment and ener-

getic executive ability as I knowMr. Hitchcock to have. I knowhim to be a man who does not yieldto small obstacles, nor allow dis-

couraging circumstances to diverthim from the pursuit of the objectin view.

I have also the pleasure of anacquaintance with another of theincorporators, Mr. James Hunter,aud know him as a successful finan-

cier in the great financial center ofthis" conn try, New York. The con-

nection of these gentlemen with theenterprise should be an assurance ofsuccess. Can you send me a copyof your paper containing somehistory of this proposed railroad inwhich I take a deep interest?

Yours truly,A. D. Buck worth.

J. P. Price proprietor of "Repub-lican Valley Farm," of Stratton,.Hitchcock county, Nebrask, writesto the officers of the Pueblo &

Duluth railroad under date of Oct.29th as follows:

"We are very anxious about thebuilding of the Pueblo Duluthrailroad. We want the lumberfrom the northeast, and" they wantour grain and stock and othernumerous resources of th s south-wes- l,

to say nothing of the trafficwith Mexico and South America,which country abounds in mineralwealth.

We of the southwest think thebuilding of the Peublo & Duluthrailroad one of the grandest railroadschemes of the United States, as itruns the boundary of no otherroad, and cannot help beingapayingroad when completed."

Hastings, Neb., Aug. 30, 1S90.To the Antelope -- Tribune: .

I have known Dwight HitchcockEsq., for nearly thirty years. Iknew him when we were bothyoung men, each having a fewhundred dollars in our respectivelines of business, located in a smalltown in Illinois when we struggledalong with more or less success foryears trying as best we could tosupport "those dependent upon usand add to our small stock of mer-

chandise. I knew Mr. H. and hadintimate business relations with himin after years .when he had becomeidentified with prominent railroadprojects, and have noticed his coursethrough all these years, and 1 mustsay that it gives me great pleasureto learn of his connection with thePueblo & Duluth R. R. Co. I knownothing of the merits the enter-prise presents, but have great faithin the ability,, energy and judgmentof Mr. II., and if the others asso-

ciated are possessed with the sameability energy and push, backed upby reasonable capital, the project, inmy judgment, cannot fail.

I will just add that if the .Tames

Hunter whose name I see in tl: listof incorporators is from New YorkCity and a former associate of Mr.Hitchcock it is a very fortunatealliance, as I have known Mr.Hunter for twenty years and moreand could not speak too highly ofhis ability as a financier.

Respectfully 'ours,A. L. Clarke.

For the benefit of our readers wewould say that Mr. Clarke is presi-

dent of the First National Bank ofHastings, Nebraska, and ""mayor ofthat city. He was president of theState Bankers' convention that metin Omaha last winter. The Mr.James Hunter, referred to by Mr.Clarke is a member of the NewYork Stock Exchange and vicepresident and financial agent of thePueblo & Duluth Railroad Com- -panr.

The New York and Ohio applecrop is a failure and the easternmarket will this year depend onMissouri and Kansas. For the firsttime in the hitory-t- f the cpuutry,buyers have been driven west of theMississippi river to supply the eastwith apples. The largest and mostprofitable orchard in the west, ifnot in the entire country, is ownedby Wellhouse and Wheat, nearLeavenworth. The apples in thisorchard sold at 3 per barrel. Asthe orchard yielded 12,000 barrels,the profit on the 450 acres of or-chard land amounted to more than

30,000.

Nearly all colds are slight, at first,but their tendency is to so lowerthe s'stem that the sufferer becomesa ready victim to any prevalent dis-ease. The use of "Ayer's CherryPectoral, in the beginning ofa cold,would guard against this danger.

fore the coming legislature shallhave finished its work. The day itadjourns sees the conditions for thenext two 3'ears fixed without thepossibility of chitngc. If the demo-cracy of Nebraska is not saved bycorn planting time it would take agood coon dog to find is trail in therace two years hence."

After all this treatment hewas finally cured, sound and well,by Swift's Specific.

The laws of health are taught inthe schools; but not in a wny to beof much practical benefit and arenever illustrated by living exampleswhich in many cases might easily bedone. If some scholar, who hadjust contracted a cold, was broughtbefore the school, so that all couldhear the drjr, loud cough and knowits significance; see the thin whitecoating on the tongue and later, asthe cold developed, see the profusewatery expectoration and thinwatery discharge from the nose,not one of them would ever forgetwhat the first symptoms of a coldwere. The scholar should then begiven Chamberlain's Cough Remedvfreely, that all might see that evena severe cold could be cured in oneor two days, or at least greatly mit-igated, when properly treated assoon as the first symptoms appear.This remedy is famous for its curesof coughs, colds and croup. It isinade especially for these diseasesand is the most prompt and mostreliable medicine known for thepurpose. 50 cent bottles for saleby A. F. Streitz, Druggist.
