THE DAJLY Bk -‘().\lArl[A lilill’);} Y MAY 4 ~ No Whiskey! Brown's IroN BITTERS is one of the very few tonic medicines that are not com- posed mostly of alcohol or whiskey, thus becoming a fruitful source of intemper- ance by promoting a desire for rum, Brown's IroN BrrrERS is guarantced to be a non- intoxicating stimulant, and it will, in ncarly every case, take the place of all liquor, and at the same time ¢ lutely kill the de whiskey and other intoxi- | cating beverages. { Rev. G.W. Rick, editor of the American Clristian Re- view, says of Brown's Iron Bitters: Cin,, 0., Nov. 16, 1881, Gents :—The foolish wast- ing of vital force in business, pleasure, and vicious indul- gence of our people, makes your preparation a necessity ; and if applied, will save hun- dreds who resort to saloons for temporary recuperation, Brown's IroN BITTERS has been thoroughly tested for dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness, weakness, debil- ity, overwork, rheumatism, neuralgia, consumption, liver complaints, kidney troubles, &c., and it never fails to' render speedy and permanent relief.

The deslre to azquiro a home and acoumulste property ls well nigh unl. versal, The question which men of moderate lncomes find so difficult to solve {8 how to make the start in the first place. Men who have made thelr milllons, have ften sald the hardeat work they had was to save the first thousand dollars. The clerk or mechanlo for instance, recelves his month's pay; alter psying his rent, grocery bill and other current ex- penses, he has a small amount left. What shall he do with it? The sum is too small to loan, even {f he had the time to attend to it. Ho, there- fore, hands it to his wifs to pat aslde “for a ralny day.”” Bat one want suo- ceeds another, The money s at hand, and little by little it slips away; and 80 it goes on week after week, and month after month, and year after year, and he finds hlmself no richer than when he began. He is often re- proached for his improvidence, but he has done as well as he could. The questions which {oterest thousands, are, how can I invest a portion of my earnings aver{ month {n such & man— ner as to unite the greatest profits with the most absolute seourlty, and howcan I secare a home on the easlest possible termsj T. was to answer these quee'i s that Bullding snd Loan asaociaiions were first devised, and how well they have answered them, the thousands of com- fortable homes throughout the coun- try, bullt through their agency, bear witness, In Philadelphia, for in- stance, it is well known that nearly all the mechanics owa thelr homes, and hence that clty is called, *‘the Oity of Homes” A fow years ago a gentle- man of Philadelphia took great pains to search the records of that city and oollect information on thls subjeot, for a paper which he read before the ‘American Soclal Sclence assoctation, and in which he stated that from 1849 to 1876, the bullding soclety mort- rages recorded were 36,129, averaging $2,000 each,showing that through this agenoy at least, thirty thousand houses wére erected, and $72,000,000 added to the value of real estate {n that city. He farther stated that from 1870, to January 1876, 31 479 dwellings had been bullt in that city, and during that perlod, 20,5636 baullding soctety mort- gages were created; thus showing that during five years endlng with 1875, twe-thirds of all the dwellings erected in Philadelphia were bullt and owned by its workingmen, with the capltal furnished by themselver, through the medlum of the building associations. In every oity of importance, instances are numerous of prosperous business men, buflders, merchants, bankers, eto., who made their first start and lald the foundation of thelr fortunes by In- vesting thelr earnings each month In bullding and loan associatlons, Others have bullt homes with the fands pro- vided by these assoclations, paying back monthly, the amount they had previously paid for rent, and in a few years thefr places wero pald for. They had hardly missod the money, while they had enjoyed tho satlefaction of livieg where every tree they set, and every shrub they planted, and every flower that blossomed beslde thelr doorway, enhanced the value of thelr property, and adorned and beautified, and made dearer thelr own homs, So evident have been the berefits of such assoclations, that the announcement that one has been formed in Omaha, will be received with satlsfaction by hundreds, who will hasten to avail themselves of its privlleges, and already subscriptions for over 700 shares of stock have been received. The officers and directors are Wm, F. Bechel, preeident; Jno. Roslcky, vice president; G. M. Nattinger, sec- retary; Eben K. Long, treasuror; Gustave Andrew, Jno, Wilson, L H. Korty, Chas. R. Turney, Jno. H. But- ier, and Milton H. Goble, The number of shares are 2 500. The initiation fee is twenty-five centn per share, and the monthly install. ments one dollar per share. When the shares reach the value of $200 each, the agscclation closes, and the aseets are divided pro r: mong the members, At the monthly meeting, on the third Thursday of each month, the money in the treaeury is loaned to the member blddirg the highest pre- mium—the borrower giving satisfac- tory eccurity, The interest is elght per cent. per annum, payable monthly, The amourt loaned to any one mem- ber 1a limited to $200 for h of stock that he holds, He il uired to deposlt with the association five shares of stock for every thousand dollars or fraction thereof, borrowed by him. Oa these shares he continues to pay his monthly installments, and aleo the interest on his loan, When, therefore, the shares become worth $200 eech, 1t is plaln to see that the fiveshares that he has deposited will pay the thoueand dollare that he has borrowed, without having recourse to his real estate eecurity, which is only resorted to when he fails, for o speci- fied time, to pay his installments aud interest He may at any tlme ropay his loan in fall, or in instalimerta on hls stock, to liquidate it, by paying a premlum of one per cect, thercon, As fast as the principal 1s repaid the interest ceases, and when the whole amount {s paid back, the shares are returned to him, and hoe will recelve, at the close of the asecclation, the value of his shares in money, tho same as if he had never borrowed, Should any member desire to withdraw from the associa- tlon, he may do so by giving thirty days notlce to the directors, when he will recelve the amount of lnstallments pald on his stock, together with in- terest at five per cent per annum, if he has been a member of the asaocla- tlon six months, and slx per cent per annom if & member a year, for the eaminin: ©Q OMAHA, NEE time such installments have been in the treasury. No member can hold more than ten shares of stock. To lllustrate the rapidity with which money accumulates in the assoclation, suppose & person holds fivo shares, on which he pays five dollars & month |\ When the assoclation closes he draws out $1,000.00. On ten shares ho would draw out §2,(00. On the other hand, suppose a mem- ber wishes to borrow from the assocla- tlon 1,€00 to butld a house, Hls In. torest would bo $6.06% a month, and his installments €5, a total of 811 66F amonth, which 1s a very moderate rent, and when the assoclation closes the house is his. It he borrows but £600 his Interest would be $3.33} plos 856 Inetallments, or a total of §8 33} a month, and when the assocl- ation closes the house {s not only pald for, but he recelves 500 in money be- tides, If ho wishes to bulld a §2,000 house he deposits ten shares of stock. His payments then are $13 33} & wmonth Interest and €10 a month fn- stallments, or 23 33} a month in all, much less than ordiuery rent, and ina fow yoars the house ls pald for, with money which would have been pald for rent, had not the loan been made from the assoctation. The stock 1s tranaferrable, and will unquestionably sell at a premium whenever a member deelres to dispose of 1t. The first natallment will become dae on the 17th of May, and the books are now onen for the subacription ef shares. Coples of the oonstitution and by laws and further information oan be obtalned upon application at the office of the assoclation, which will be open Tuesdays, Thuradays and Sat- urday evenings from b5 to 6 and from 7 to 8 o'clock.

San Luls (Cal.) Republic, Hearlng a report around town that a valuable redwood and yellow ploe forest had been dlacovered by R. D. Cook of this place, aboat elghty miles enst of town, we dropped in upon that gontleman and recelved full confirma uon from him of the report. It seems that about three weeks ago he bec! alarmed at the long dry spell and company with another gentleman he started for the headwaters of the Sis quoe In eearch of feed for his stock. He repcris the scenery along the route sfter ho left clvilization as exceeding- ly grand, rivallng anythiog he ever saw in his life, and he volunteered the information that he had twice crossed the plalns and been through Central Amerlcy, Aftor rlding as faras thoy oould they left thelr horses and footed {t over the mountalns and through canyons, and near the headwaters of one of the tributarles of the Slrquoc they found themsolves upon the briuk of a precipice over which the watcrs of the creek poured with a 600 to 700 feet. He threw a rock over the brink to test the dlstancaand cluded It had lodged on the way down, and was turniog to leave, when the rumbling Intonations told him it had just reached the bottom, The view from this point was grand and awe- fuspiring, and If properly opened to the public would rival the Yosemite a3 an attraction. Fish and gemo abound, and to illustrate the plentifalness of the former he stated that his companion on several oceasions took a common gun- ny sack and fastened it at a rifloe and would drive enough fish Into it while he wae making a fire to serve them for id several million times prev- lous to thisassertion. Thisis because May and the three eucceeding months are not spelled with an r. The man that invented the idea did a good thing for the oyater, if he didn't for bis fellow man The oyster needs rest and a chance to recuperate as well as other people. It recuperates at the rate of nine mil- llons to each female oyster. If any one doubts this they had better count them, it is given, however, on the authority of Professor Atwater, of Mtddletown, Conn, Mr. Atwater also Informed The Morning Journal reporter that this ostracizing the oyster by society was noneensical, and he thought if the board of aldermen would only license them they would be all right. At the foot of West Tenth street on the North river and of Broome street on the East side Is where the oyster interests are located, and at West Tenth street a Mornlog Journal re: porter found that the dealers were just up to their ears in oysters, and it certainly did not look much Ilike the close of the season. Mr. J. Housman, who controls the only steam launch, the ‘‘Minnle and I[rving,” engaged in the oyster trade, informed a reporter that geneially speaking the season just clcalng has been as succeesful as usual, but the mild open winter allowed oystéra to be taken right along and made the sapply more even, Great shipments have been made through the west and south this win- ter and the love for oysters among western pecple seem to be on the in- crease, Ogysters for home shipment are car- rled in cans holding 1,20 aplece, and are filled with ice so they will not churn, shipped from New York at & o'clock in the evening and sorved up }u Buffalo at 8 o'clock the next morn- ng. Baltimore and New York now rank about even as to the largest quantity handled, and it is calculated that the value of the sales for the present year will reach about the followlng figures, New York Baltimore. Elsewhero in the Unitod Staf T T eaonaatonn seeesnesens $ The nataral oyster beds in 78,000, this part of the country are now exhausted and transplanting 1s the rule, being brought from southern beds and trars- planted in Prince’s bay and other New York waters, and an oyster will all take 1ts flavor from the water which it drinke, An oyster would live elght years If it had its own way, but it seldom getn & chance near New York. They grow about four years and then get caught. The best places for planting seed oysters hereabouts are Long Island coast, Kast river, Rockaway, Raritan, Shrewsbury, North river and In Newark Bay, Daurlog the past winter the ship- ments of cysters to Earope have been very great, amountlog to over 300,000 barrels, while the consumptlon in thia city alone s estimated 2 850 000,00 oystera, A Parrot to Give Eyidence in Court. Breoklyn Eagle. A case of unususl Interest came up in Juostice Klehl's court, Robert Strauss, was arralgned on complaint of Jacob Brach charged with stealing aparrot and cage, valced at $30. It appoars that § merly kept a bird atore at No, 729 Fiask ing avenue, which he sold to Mr. plainant. A few daysago M went to the store and carrled away a parrot which he clalmed was not in- cluded in the blll of sale when he transferred|his property to Brach, Mr. Brach holds diffsreatly and consequently had Strauss arrested for grand larceny. When the case was called this morning Counselor Ober- nier, for the defendant, asked for an adjourument in order to have the bird in court, which, he said, would be a vory important witnees. Jaunlslor Merket, for the plaintiff, sald that Deputy Sheriff Aaron would go upon the stand and testify that when the parrot was taken out of the store it locked back and mournfully remarked: ‘‘I belong to Brach.” Mr, Obernier said that the bird was a meal. In coming down a canyon they discovered a red wood forest that has never before been known to exist in that locality, He describes its ex- tent to be from 2} to 3 miles long, and from’ § to 1 mile wide. The trees were from 1 to 6 feet in diameter, snd to ue his own words, ‘“‘there s enovgh timber there 1 fence this valley into ten-acre lots,’” Oa the outer edge of this grove found a tree that had been felled years and years ago by chopping arcund it with a tomahawk, the blade of which was not over three Inches wide. He Is confident that no other white man ever stepped feet inside the grove, for, sald he, it would have been im- possible to’ have reached It a vear sgo; but about that time a forest fire burped . off the thick underbrush for miles this side and made it possible for them to reach the grove on foot. He does not think that the dlscovery of the foreat or the magnificent falls will be of any value for years to come, because of the difficulty of bullding r t them, but nevertheless he intends to start out in a short time and farther explore that Interesting reglon, Good day to you, Mistress O'Brolne, An’ how {s the paln In your spolne?
