’ ROVING RANGER. He Takes in Kearney in His Circuit. 1 Some Wonderful Signs of Pros- | perity He Saw There. An Interesting Letter Abont An | Interesting Town. Correspondence of the Bre Keansey, August 20.—Kearney is having a boom, From ventre to cir- cumference and beyond, the axe, hammer and saw give the music of progress. Public buildings, store buildings, private residences, water works and irrigation are engrossing the attention of every man of money | and the people hero have money, and | plenty of it. from one of the richest sections of western Nebraska, and one that in this year of poor crops, boasts of a good yield of wheat and a splendid promise of corn. In the B. & M. land office at Kear- ney, Clarke and Whittaker exhibit the finest specimens of millet that I over saw, sod corn in any quantity that has from 10 to 12 inches for length of ear. Oats that equal, if nov surpasses any that I have seen. Magnificent Egyptian rice corn; sorghum stalks that reach nearly to the ten foot ceiling of the office; clover, second cutting for this season, measuring two feet four inches; mil- let heads 13 inches in length, and wheat of all kinds,and yields from twenty-three to thirty bushels. Apple trees proved to yield abund- antly A young tree five years old, in an orchard belonging to Wm, Morse, of this city, is londed down with luscious fruit. Excellent results have been oblained from cultivating the grape, and in the not far-distant future there will be an abundance of this product. Crabapple trees are yielding well, and small fruits are all very thrifty and productive. THE CATTLE INTERESTS, The shipments of live stock from Kearney during the past year aggre- gated in round numbers a quarter of a million of dol Sheep and hogs are also raised oxtensively and with great profit, The stock interests are, without «question, the most important in this section, and raising grain for the mar- ket will sooit be a lost art, and the shipment of wheat this year fron Kearney will, it is estimated, agg gate not less than one thousand car loads. Kearney trade comes IMMIGRATION, bringing it from Omaha, 198 miles The utter neglect to provide for ad- | distant. 1 ! vertising our resources has left Ne-| At five tho freight oflice closes, braska to get along without its usual influx of people. «Every day hun- dreds pass through this state bound for Oregon, Washington Territory, California and Colorado, who never stop to look at what we have to offer, simple ‘ because they have not been asked 1o do so. They have not read or heard about Nebraska, —we have no immigration fund with which to pay agents or printers, We are not as a state inviting the public to come and join' us but other states are putting tens of thousands of their dollars into this thing and are receiving it back a thousand fold. Kearney, however, gets her share of the limited emigra- tion that railroad enterprise and pri- vate effort bring here, and the leading real estate men of Kearney, Messrs. Cuark and Whittaker, report farm land botH wild and cultivated ap fair- ly active. Town lots are very hvely and inquiry is on the increase. IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS, Perhaps the most valuable is the cunal, eighteen miles long, which will bring water from the Platte to Kear- ney for water works, water power and irrigating wpmu. The estimated cost 18 $70, and $20,000 is now on hand and stock is subscribed to cover the entire amount. The Reform school was visited by your correspondent through the kindness B. Clarke, whose grey roadster carried us over two miles in a very few minutes, The institution has just been open- ¢ for the roception of wayward and anguided youngsters, and under the able management of Dr. G, W, Col- 1ins, of Nemaha, it is hoped that the juvenile flotsam and jetsam of {earney, Lincoln, Omaha and other cities may be made into useful eiti- s, The building is three stories high, and is a solid structure, but it has nothing whatever of the prison about, it on the contrary, not a_bar, o prison lock or even a fence is to be ven: Kindness and firmness are to be relied on to chain the culprits here. Two children have been sent here already and plenty more are coming. Before a year goes by it is expected that the school will be full, The Kearney graded school, a build# ing that ranks with any in the state, ontside of Omaha, is now being fin- ished, It is of hrlck, three stories Lizh, with stone basement and metal- lic roof and tower, A Proshyterian church that would lnok well anywhere is being erected, The mateaial is brick with stone trimmings, The Ewpire store and the New York store are both elegant structures of brick with slate glass windows. The former, just complet- ed, lost one of its windows yesterday through a painter’s carelessness, Both of these stores are metropolitan, and when fully ready for business will compare favorably with eastern estab- lishments in large cities, ’ A 7,000 water tank is being erected by the U. P. A Mr. Campbell is erecting an ele- ant brick mansion, and so is Mr, ing.

True, tolerable fare and accommodations are furnished Dr. Wilms' Commercial, a very fairly kept hotel, had been making it | bably untrue, were nevertheless be lieved Human nature is w and man's nature extreme! 8 hence anything against | man, especialjy if that man is a and no power on earth can open it, but the B. & M. is willing to accom- modate, and its agent serves patrons of the road when it is possible to do 80 without regard to exact hours, and, a8 a consequence of these things, the to her friends athome, was this morn- ing refused passage on the U, P, has closed every saloon in Kearney, and Thave not scen man during the three days 1 have been in town, is the head liquor sells “under here) that the druggists dispose of is re- up-hill business for his next door neighbor, keeps the Aitken | house, and the rivalry was intense, when Dr. Wilms found two weeping whe damsels in the depot, who had been put out of the other house and their bageage retained for their bills, They | satisfied the doctor bility and told hir shameful proposals which, while pro f their curious stories respecta- | business rival, isapt to be entertained, A prominent lawyer was called in and things looked dubious for a while, but the storm passed over when the | forlorn maidens received a remittance | from home, and proceeded to their | respective destinations, but the sequel appeared shortly after in a prosccu tion began against Dr. Wilms for practicing medicine without comply ing with Nebraska's laws, The rival landlord was backed in his prosecution by two doctors, and they endeavored to get Dr. Baker to join in the foray, but he positively de- clined. The result of the trial was that Dr. Wilms proved that he did not practice medicine within the meaning of the statute, and that he was entitled to, but that one of his prosecutors got his diploma from Buchannan, the bogus diploma peddler. Costs against plaintiff, but it is said that the end ot the whole thing is not yet. RATLROAD TRICKS, There is a great deal of complaint lere about the treatment of Kearney veterans who wanted to attend the re- union. It seems that the G. A. R.’s of Kearney chartered a car, and after selling a 1ot of tickets were refused the car for which they had contracted, and the other road also refusing a car it scemed to be a mew pooling ar- rangement. Half rates were prom- ised the Western Nebraska soldiers if they would consent for tho re-union camp of 1881 to be located at Lincoln, but now one fare and a fourth is chaged if a man stays in Lincoln more than one day. Kor God’s sake, f’“" grasping giants of the rail, uve you no regard for anything or anyone! The men who saved the land want to go to Lincoln and stay a week. Now why can’t you give them special cars at regular excursion rates? Why do you make excursion rates for one day’s stay when you know nine- tenths will stay the week out? Tne complaint has come to the writer a hundred times, All the re- publican valley veterans are complain- ing. It is not too late to remedy the matter, A telegram to all #tations extending the time will be fully sat- isfactory and will bring many thous- and to patronize the roads who other- wise will stay at home. ¢+ THE U, P, is particularly “‘cussed” 0y the busi- ness men of Kearney.

Nina Morais in The North American Review Let us examine how far the Jew may be answerable for the prejudice which exists against him. It is true that the body of rich Jews in America | the culture that Compared with his Christian neighbor whose equal afflu opens the Jew does not always present a pleas ing appearance Reaching this coun try when the facilities for accumula- tion wyre enormous; with tile HI%. le developed by long cen turies of enforced confinement to trade the Hebrew mounted too rapidly to the top of the commercial ladder. Dazzled with the new freedom of America, bewildered by the privileges which the almighty dollar could pur. chase, the emigrant directed his ener. gies in that road to power and com- fort which appeared to him the most available highway. He was not slow to learn the tricks and subter- fuges of American trade. While the Jewish mercantile record is as clear proportionally as that of the Christian, the predpminance of merchants in the Hebrew community has rendered the business short-comings of the Jew conspicuous and proverbial. With a pack upon his back, or a few shillings in his pocket, Hebrew's contact with American culture was exceedingly limited when the accumulation of wealth introduced him to American manners he had already become habi- tuated to his particolar grooves, Tt is hard for him te discern the tran- scendent advantage of any other out- let of energy than thesmoney market, Perhaps, too, the difficulty of enter- ing upon a new course of action deters him from adopting that course although he may appreciate its value, but he resolves to give his children the benefits he has lacked, and thinks that meanwhile his money can make him_independent of popular opinion. He ignores the communal responsinl- ity borne by each Hebrow for his whole race. He does not pause to reflect, when he violates the laws of etiquette at a hotel or a watering- place, that he is effering the back of every Jew to the lash of prejudice. In considering the causes of social ostracism for which the Jew is partly or wholly to blame, the 1 exclu- siveness of the Hebrew is urged as a plea against him. The Israclite is said to avoid Christian society, he does not care to introduce business friends into his domestic at public resorts he herds his members of his own faith, This exclusiveness arises partly from temporary and tly from permanent causes. It is largely due to a morbid habit, born amid fires of persecution when the Jow was society's pariah--a habit now cherished by the unspoken fear that the hand of fellowship which the Hebrew is willing and ready to extend may be thrust back contemptuously, or accepted with a mental x ion. Thus far Je: exclusiveness is tem- ) ; its permanent cause is the rule which forbids marriage with the Gentile. Solong as the meeting of the young is attended with spe restric- tions, 80 long as the free intercourse n men and women in American society is likely to re- fails to dis, lay wealth demands, similar ence advantages, sult i unhurpinesu, the social amal- gamation of J ew and Christian must measurably be incomplete Yet the Jewish marriage restrictions, though often fraught with sorrow to the in- dividual Jew, cannot be dirregarded conscientiously by the Hebrew who believes in the mission of the race. The infusion of Aryan blood into Jewish veins would be suicidal for Judaism; it would in a short time re- move prejudice by doing away with the object. The Jew who feels him- self the apostle of monotheism must bear the yoke of his priesthood. His religious regulations have become the Masonic signs of his fraternity; they are necessary to unite the scattered members of a little band destined to propagate an idea. The Jew still holds himself the personal and responsible heir of that testament, graved in the lightnings of Sinai, and signed with the life-blood of its witnesses, Go to the Fair. Theve are a few farmers in almost every community who never attend their county or local far, and of course take ne interest in them. In pursuing this policy they are losers, though it would doubtless be difficult to make them think so, There is much for fairs, and if he would keep abreast of the times it is his plain duty, rather highest yrivilege, to seize every opportunity which shall give him a more extended knowledge and a greater familiarity with everything that pertains to agriculture and horti- culture, At such times he can compare notes with his brother farmers, and in re- lating his own experience with certain fruits, grain, ete., and in nothing the experience of others with the same, he may impart as well as gain some useful hints which shall be of service in the future. There is no better place for such discussion and such ex- perience meetings than at the fair, It also gives him an opportunity to ex- amine the latest improved machinery, and to get on the spot the unpreju- diced opinions of his farmer friends to guide him in purchasing for himself. There is machinery on exhibition ey year, especially at our state fairs, which some farmers would never see at all if they absent themselves from these exhibitions, . Not only should every one go to the fair, but he should contribute from his farm and garden produets in = ing the fair a success. Almost has something unusual, some novelty which will add to the at- tractions, therefore we say to every farmer, *‘Go to the fair and do all in your power to support and elevate b ‘Wicked for Clergyman. Rev, , Washington, D. (., writes: *‘I believe it to be all wrong and even wicked for clergymen or other public men to be led into giving testimonials to quack docters or vile stuffs called medicines, but when a really meritorious article made of valuable remedies known to all, that all physicians use and trust in daily, we should freely commend it. therefore choerlufiy and heartily com- mend Hop Bitters for the good they have done me and my friends, firmly believing they have no equal for fam- ily use.
