Streitz. 225 An exchange, apologizing to the women, says: "Ladies should bear in mind that the word 'man,' used in a broad sense, means 'woman,' too." It is barely possible that ladies will not care to have the sex mixed in that way. Men and women differ in many things, and it something to be thankful for that it is so. It is as easy to say men and women when women,, are in- cluded as to say "man" and mean the race. The number of burglars shot in the act of burglary is very small. But the list of the innocent victims of hasty shooting at supposed house breakers is assuming alarming pro- portions. Firing in the dark is risky business, and it is time to call a halt in this random target prac- tice. Better allow a hundred burg- lars to escape' than to kill an inno- cent wife or mother. Give Them a Chance. That is to say, your lungs. Also all your breathing machinery. Very wonderful machin- ery it is. Not only the larger but the thousands of little tubes and cavities leading from them. When these aro clogged and choked with matter which ought not to bo there, your longs cannot half do their work. And what they do they cannot do well. Call it cold, cough, cronp, pneumonia, catarrh, consumption or any of tho family of throat and nose and head and long obstructions, all aro bad. All onght to be got rid of. There is just one sure way to get rid of them. That is to take Bos- - choe's German Syrup, which any druggist will sell yon at 75 cents a bottle. Even if everything elso has failed you, you may depend npon this for certain. There are 519 tons of gold and 7,396 tons of silver stored up in the treasury vaults at Washington. A procession of teams hauling this bullion in carts, allowing a horse for every ton, would be twenty-thre- e miles long according to the New York Tribune's mathematician. The same authority finds that the government has been paying off the public debt during the twenty-two-yea- rs past at the rate of $120.47 per minute. That is about as fast as the paying- - teller could count it out. You must not forget that the first crop of soldier boys after the old boys came home froni the front and married the, girls that waitedior-them-, will vote next year at the presidential election. . Thera isn't any discount on these boys. The crop of new voters in the north, who came to the polls in '84 were mostly the sons of stay-at-hom- es, and they didn't generally vote the republican ticket according to all appearance. It's going to make quite a difference in the count in '88 about a hundred thousand, we should guess. STARTLING BUT TRUE. Wills Point, Texas, Dec. 1, 1885. After suffering for more than three years with disease of the throat and lungs, 1 got so low last spring 1 was entirely un- able to do anything, and my cough was so bad I scarcely slept any at night My druggist, Mr. H. F. Goodnight, sent me a trial bottle of Dr. Bosanko's Cough and Lung Syrup. I found relief, and after using six $1 bottles I was entirely cured. J. M. Welden. Sample bottle 5 cents at A. F. Streitz1 Blaine has left Ireland, and gone to the continent. Whoever- - heard of anything so scandalous? He has doubtless gone to Rome, to bar- gain with the pope for the Catholic vote of the United States. If Blaine had the slightest regard for the properties of life, he would have himself locked up in the Tower of London, and remain there during all his stay in Europe. Under the allotment bill the Indians who take advantage of its provisions become citizens of the United States and endowed with all the rights and privileges of such. Some of the county seat workers in Knox county became anxious to know if tli ft Sp.ntees would be allowed to vote on that questions and to settle the matter telegraphed the acting commissioner of Indian affairs, who replied that the Indians would certainly be allowed if they so desired, to vote on any and all questions. So the condition of the Indians is becoming more and more in accordance with the principles of right and of a higher christian civilization. Piles. Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has some affection of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At times, symptoms of indigestion are present, flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspira- tion, producing a very disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is a common attendant Blind, bleeding and itching piles yield at once to the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts affected, absorbing the tumors allaying tho intense itching, and affecting a permanent cure.

Pierce thinks he can dem- onstrate that pneumatic tubes can be useifricross the Atlantic connect ing the two continents. He tninks it possible to fire a train through one of these tubes at the rate of 1,000 miles per hour, using an, air current as the motive power. The speed is to be so great that, owing to the circular motion of the earth, the pressure will be upward instead of downward. The interior of the tubes and exterior of the cars is to be of polished steel. At a Savage club dmner in Lon- don recently Wayne MacVeagh, of Pennsylvana, made a very clever hit In the course of a long speech he said to his English auditors: We admire your pictures and buy them; we welcome your actors and pay them; we read your books and steal them."

Some friends of Mrs. Winfield Scott Hancock, who now live in Washington, are urging her ap- pointment as postmastress of that city. The movement was begun entirely without the knowledge of Mrs. Hancock, and it is probable that she does not care for the office. General Hancock died poor, but a fund of 50,000 was raised for his widow soon after his death, and she draws a 3,000 pension. Texas has got a new school land law and new men in the land office. The result is that ,000,000 acres of land have been leasted to cattle men mainly in the- - last few weeks. Thisthe result of healthy pub- lic opiMcjE i With a little vigorous adminwtration there f is no need of eternaTwar with ranchmen. Texas has really 'a great, outlook. Its school fund, fed from the public land set aside for that purpose will alone develop a better educational system than most of the southern states have. Then the breaking up of the vast annual drives of cattle from Texas to Colorado, Wyoming and other feeding regions, makes the most natural thing in the world for Texas-itsel- f to furnish a distri- buting point for the cattle trade in the southwest.

A Plain Statement of Facts by a Leading Mer- chant of the Town. Last summer wo had an epidemic in this com- munity in tho form of cholera morbns. Nearly every man. woman and child was prostrated by it. and it seemed to bo a very violent form. Wo tried every medicine we could find without relief. I then went to Ottnmwa and Blake. Brnco & Co., wholesald druggists, advised me to take homo Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem- edy. I done so and distributed it, and it gavo relief immediately; it worked like magic. I or- dered more of the remedy at once, and sold it daring the day at my storo and at night at my home. I sold as much daring tho night as I did daring tho day.

Henry Watterson says: "I would rather be editor than hold an office in the gift of the people. I had that qnestion to settle, and did settle it finally. It cost me no pang to settle it on the side of my pro- fession. I do not mean to exalt the profession of journalism above all others, but I do pretend to sav that aside from the good old rule that a shoemaker should stick to nis last, a journalist is nowhere so much out of Blace as when1 directing the me chanism pi political -- movement. No man can manage politics and journalism and remain an honest man. He must, as a politician, sacrifice the truth, or as journalist care nothing tor the truth. There is only one thing the journalist should strive after, and that is to tell the truth in advance of any one else." Here is food for reflection for the average Nebraska journalist.

The gain in the exports of Amer ican breadstuffs is very eneouraging just now, when the merchandise oalance of trade is in our favor by such an uncomfortable close margin as it was in the fiscal 3'ear which ended about seven weeks ago. In the past seven months three exports of these commodities amounted to about 100,000,000, as compared with $81,000,000 in the correspond ing period or the calendar year 1886. This increase is all the more gratifying for Americans, because of the fact that it is coupled with a falling off in wheat exports from India. That country just at this moment is not such a formidable competitor of the United States as it was last year: H. D. Rhea. Real Estate and Mam Room 12, Land Office Block.
