Wurne is Chairman Dorsey with his revised returns! Does he still feel con- tident Reese will get 7,6007 Sexaror Vay Wyck had better resign, His presence in the Senate is very of- fensive to the late clerk of Congressman Valentine. SecrETARY T is after the land robbers with a sharp stick. Has Secre- tary Teller heard about the claim jump- ers of the Stinking Water? FIre traps and wooden sidewalks must go. The council ought to extend the the Standard Oil company, which is very suggestive. A comparison made up from the freight agent's testimony, showing the charge per *barrel between Cleveland and Chicago, tells its own story. The figures are as follows 4 Rate to the Rate to Standard, Others, April, 1850 ... £0.44 20,70 March, 1881 3 0.80 January 1 0.30 0.70 May, 1883, 0.40 0,60 The special rates to the Standard are disguised under the plea that tank-cars are used, while the smaller concerns use barrels. The following extracts from the | testimony of the president of the road | h the figures above given, how | show, w effectively competition is broken up and | small oil concerns are forced to sell outto the great monopoly: | “There is nothing at all in the rela- | tions of the Lake Shore to the Standard | Oil company that would prevent us from | giving the same rates to any other ship- per shipping in a like quantity under like | conditions.” | “We have stated that to theseplaintifls but of course we know it cannot be done. We are perfectly satified it cannot be done,” “1'apprehend that any party getting a | lower rate of freight can sell a given pro- duct a little lower than a party who pays a higher rate, of course, as a natural con- sequence.” “Naturally, the practical offect of ing the Standard Oil company 10 cents better rate of freight per barrel is a ten- dency to drive competition out of the western market.” “I'am inclined to think that we have been giving the Standard better rates of | freight than their competitors ever since | 1 have been on the road [1875].” ““How often [to General Freight Agent Vailant| do you pay these drawbacks’”’ # % “Depending on how often they They customarily We settled when sent in their claims. sent them in monthly. they made demands.” Here we have a plain admission that the Lake Shore road has paid back a large portion of its freight tolls to the Standard Oil company while less favored shippers of oil were allowed no rebate. As a natural result of this discrimination the rival oil dealers were unable to com- pete and had to withdraw from the trafiic. That gave the Standard company the monopoly of the oil trade, and with that monopoly firmly established the consum- ers of the il product were compelled to pay tribute and put millions into the cof- fers of the grasping corporation. 1t be- hooves Congress, which alone can regu- late inter-State commerce, to enact laws prohibiting discrimination and favoritism by drawbacks and rebates. And the State Legislatures, who have sole power to regulate railways within the boundar- fire limit and enforce the sidewalk ordi- nance on our business streets. Tk force in the Supervising Architect's oftice is on the anxious seat, as Mr, Bell is expected to make some changes. He will lack force if nothing else. A CONSTITUTIONAL amendment relative to civil rights is favored by some Con- gressmen for the sake of the record the Democrats would make in the debate. THE contests for the Speakership and minor offices of the House opens in Washington this week. Cox, Carlisle and the smaller lights will be on hand early to open pools. Tue Chief of the Fire Department should be instructed to make a thorough inspection of chimneys and stove pipe connections in the heartof the city before the thermometer goes down below zero. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. WaEN the principal thoroughfares of Omaha are paved with asphalt, the char- iot and Herdic coaches will take the place of street cars, They are more con- venient because they land passengers at the curb wherever they may desire to stop, they are more pleasant to ride in and they are never over-crowded. THE next thing in order for Postmaster General Gresham in the way of reform should be an addition to the clerical force in the Omaha postoffice. It was the pro per thing to readjust and raise the post- master’s salary to the first-class standard, but a first-class postoffice ought to have clerks enough to distribute promptly the mails that are handled in i REBATES AND DRAWBACKS, Among the abuses to which the patrons of American railroads are subjected, none are more flagrant than the system of re- bates and drawbacks. While the railway managers exact an arbitrary toll from one class of shippers for carrying their wares and products, they are in the habit of discriminating in favor of another class by paying them buck a portion of the tolls, which have been exacted from them in common with other shippers. This system of favoritism has created and fos- tered industrial and commercial monopo- lies almost as powerful and dangerous as the railroads themselves. When- ever any shipper can transport his wares and products at an inside rate he can undersell and underbid any competitor who is compelled to pay full tolls. 1n other words, by the system of drawbacks and rebates, the favored mer- chant or producer will grow rich while his rival is driven %o the wall, The Stan- dard Oil monopoly,which to-day virtually controls the petroleum market of Amer- ica, affords the most striking example of the pernicious effect of the rebate and drawback system in destroying competi- tion through combination. KFor many years this closest of close corporations has enjoyed special privileges as a ship- per over the great trunk lines of railroad, whereby it has been able to undersell -4and ruin all competitors, Only last week the officers of the Lake Shore railroad gave some testi in @leieland, showing the combi with ies of their respective States, should pro- tect producers and shippers by enacting laws that will require railroads to pub- lish their tolls, and prohibit them from granting rebates and reductions to any patron. In Nebraska such a law is already on the statute books, but, as yet, [competitors of the Standard company], | = D*THOMAS Cures Rheumatism, Lum- bago, Lame Back, Sprains and Bruises, Asthma, Catarrh, Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, Diphtheria, Bums, Frost Bit Tooth, Far, and Head- ache, and all pains and aches, The best internal and extenal remedy in the world, Every Lottle guaranteed.

When water is brought ¢- | in contact with this starch the particles unite, and the kernal becomes a soft, flaceid body, which, when confined in close bins, heats and instigates alcoholic fermentation, 1f permitted to undergo these changes, the corn is sapped of all its nourishing properties, and rendered totally unfit for feeding purposes. Rot has been thoroughly incorporated in cach kernel, and in a few weeks it returns from whence it came—the elements of the soil. Although frost-bitten corn can not be made as good as that which had time to fully mature, it can, by exercising judg- ment and care, be kept in a state of pres- ervation from further injwy. 1t is only necessary to keep it dry and well aired. Heat will injure it, but cold will not. Shock corn is frequently injured by be- ingcut when wet and put into large shocks, It matters not about its being green, 8o long aa it is entirely free from moisture and put in small shocks or al- lowed to cure in small piles a day or two previous to being set up. The best time to husk corn is ona frosty day, when the ground is frozen and free from snow. If the ground is et and the atmosphere humid, the husks and stalk transmit moisture to the ear, conseduently it should not be husked un- less it is to be fed out immediately. An additional reason for not husking corn on a wet day is that the team and wagon will cut up the field, and leave it in a bad condition te drain next spring. But this is not all. It causes unnecessary strain upon your team, wagon and har- ness, and at night you will have far less corn than if it had been a frosty,invigor- ating day. U. U. Woon.

J., {)nniel Matthews, a pros- perous young farmer, with his wife and one child, One day Matthews surprised his wife by announcing his intention of oing on a trip to the Bermudas for his health, Arrangements were made for him to take passage on a coasting vessel. After his departure no letter nor word of intelligence came to Mrs, Matthews as to Just a year after his departure word came that he had been stricken with yellow fever while in the West Indies and died. In the meantime a second child had been borned to Mrs, Matthews, and be- coming straightened in circumstances she was compelled to accept a position as do- mestic, Last spring a young mechanic named Lafferty came from Philudelphia and sought mul»loymuut near Morrisville. Meeting Mrs, Matthows young Laflerty fell in love with her and offered her his hand and a home for herself and children. the young lady frankly told Lafferty of her desertion by her husband and his re- cent death, Lafferety hoped and finally be- lieved that Mutthews was dead, He married Mrs. Mathews and built a neat home for his wife and her two children. A few days ago a bronzed,bearded man made his appearance in the village and announced that he was Daniel Matthews, Heo said that he had visited the Bermu- das,but that it was his brother David who had died there of yellow fever and not he. He had been working in the Brazil- ian mines frr nearly four years, had amassed a colossal fortune, and yearning for his wife and child, had hurried home- ward, not knowing that another little stranger had made its appearance after he left home. The return of the recreant husband was a great shock to Mrs. Mat- thews, now the wife of another, Matthews - demanded that should leave Lafferty and with her two children return to him. Mrs, Lafferty refused to do this, declaring that she his wife obdurate and began to make threats, but finding he had the sympathy of no one he offered to leave Mr, and "Mrs. Lafferty alone should the woman givelup her oldest child, the one born befure Matthews de- serted his wife. This the woman consent- ed to do, In the meantime the woman will live apart from Laflerty until the courts give heralegal separation from Matthews, when Mr, and Mrs, Laffert y will be united for a second time.

It is d.?.whnu the husk readily separates, and when the kernels shell from the cob with- out much rubbing. This is & universal rule. and should always be observed. 1f, {he whereabouts of her recreant husband. | 4} loved her second husband, Matthews was ———— - Select Good Seed. As it is the time of year for each and every farmer to be looking after the selec- tion of corn and other seeds, I think it well to write in regard to this important subject, which is neglected by most far- mers, especially the over-worked Kansas farmers. These, however, are the very persons who particularly need to be made aware of the importance: of planting good seed. We all need to know what good seed corn in, and how toselectit. A very good way is to have a box or barrel in either end of the wagon, when gather- ing corn, and while husking the load throw the best, dryest and largest ears, well filled out at an ends, and en no oc- casion throw in ears which have ]m-?e cobs; and the grains should be compactly set on the cobs, 80 as to have as many grains as possible on the cob. The stand of cern in this part of Kansas, the last four years, has been poor every other year, while indeed some have poor stands every year, after the insects get through with the corn. The principal reason of is is, but few take the proper pains in selecting seed corn, Most of our corn is husked and piled into cribs holding from five hundred to a thousand bushels, some from five thousand to ten thous- and bushels, and many never cover their corn, The seed should be dry when gathered. There should be no sap in the cob, if it has to be piled up muc‘l and thisis what a mnjurit{ of Kansas farmers are obliged todo. We can not find room to hang up our seed-corn by the husks, as some of the Eastern farmers advise, and 1 suppose practice. This I would advise all small corn-raisers . to do; but such course can not be practiced by the large Western farmer. The selected seed needs to be kept dry from gathering time until ssed- ing time, so that each grain will have vitality enough to send forth a healthy, strong sprout, one which will stand the many trials that young, growing corn is subjected to. The insects are more liable to attack the weak plant than thelstrong. These weak plants are easily destroyed as the sprout depends on the grain for food, but the grain is exhausted of its vi- tality in the sprouting, and consequently the stalk, not having any nourishment from the grain withers and dies.. There- fore, corn will sometimes sproutand then no longer serve the purpose of a plant. It needs to be corn_which is perfect in vitality, and sends forth vigorous sprouts which are sustained until the young plant can grow and thrive on the nourishment received from its roots and leaves. ] THE GREAT GERMAN REMEDY FOR PAIN Relieves and cures RHEUMATISM, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Lumbago, BACKACHE, HEADACHE, TO0THACHE SORE THROAY.
