LovrsviLLg, Fen, 18.—A Courler Journal special from Sharpe, Marshall county, in the southwestern part of the state, relates the discovery of a large cave by two young men while engaged in preparing a piece of new land for the crop.

In one of the cham- bers there were found two human skeletons, about $600 in gold and silver coin.and a quan- tity of silverware.

Chi servic A SHIPPER'S OPINION, What Dave Anderson, the Veteran Shipper, Thinks of the South Omaha Market, There is no industry in the state that is improving with the same rapidity as the South Omaha live stock market, Omaha is becoming a great live stock market, and the stockmen of the state are fully alive to the fact, and are taking great interest in it, and are doing all in their power to help it forward. At a recent mecting the members of the Live Stock Shippars’ association pledged themselves to put forth every endeavor to build up a market in the state David Anderson, of Columbus, the vice i dent of the association, and |u~nlmb{ oldest live stock shippers the state on he line of the Union Pacific, and who for the past ten years has annually shipped from 150 to 800 cars of cattle, hogs and sheep, when asked his opinion on_South Omaha as a market, rephed: *I shipped mostly to Chicago until last season when I began patronizing the Omaha stock yards, and everything I handle is now sold in South Omaha, No shipper of live stock west of Central Towa can make money shipping hogs to Chicago any longer, because the Omaha market, every day in the week, is within 10 to 25 cents of Chicago, and it costs 50 cents per 100 pounds to run hogs from Omaha to Chicago. Seven-tenths of all the hogs raised in Nebraska are marketed and slaughtered in South Omaha, In three or four years it will be a curiosity to see a full train of cattle pass through Towa, because they will mostly be slaughtered in South Omaha, and the meats shipped in refrigerator cars to the seaboard cities. Omaha can j so mueh near to Chicago prices bes 1 large amount of the pro- duct com t and south and our large operators obtain from Omaha verg tair rates, and the best of facilities for ship- ping, besides their running expenses 1o the .way of buildings, labor, ete., are s9 than in Chicago. Tuside of eight months another mammoth beef slaughtering establishment, iarger than Hammond’s will be erected he 0 cost not less than $150,000. Also within one year Iunderstand there will an extensive Deef canning institution built, ane in full all the cattle ccming to this t will be taken care of and stock and shippers will realize hand- s for everything offered, ¢ in two or three years there will be a smart, active little city of 10,000 to 15,000 inhabitants, Two new depots will be built this spring and one or two viaducts extending over the railroads, y connecting the west and east sides of the town. And_then R‘nu know every railroand in Nebraska comes in here. Thea you will have a splendid and cheap dummy service every hour the day, and one or two projected stvect car lines which will be built the coming season. There is already a very large brewery erceted and_almost ready for, manufacturing the stuff. Three brick yards will open up as soon as spring will” permit. 1 know of seyeral large brick buildings that will go up early this spring. There is nothing that I see that wtll retard the rapid prog- ress of South Omaha except the paraliza tion of the agricultural and stock raising interd A few years ago the packing houses < yards of Chicago were located out and & large prairic luyed en the two placi Now it is all « solid, compact city to the stock yar and for two miles Real estat any where in that locality is worth from $200 to §1,000 per foot front and there is more men employed, more business done and money handied, also more taxes llx d in the town of Lake than any other of the sume area in the Uni State; The same same state of aflairs has been reported at Kansos City, and 1 have no doubt but it will repeat itself at South Omaha, There is already a business of £50,000 to $150.000 transacted daily in these yards, to say nothing of what i being done in all the lurge establishi here.”” — Licensed to Wed. Judge McCulloch granted marriage UTTERLY DISCOURAGED expresses the fecling of many victims of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and nen wous o sick headache. Having tried nume berless so-called remedics, and physicians of all schools, without relief, there seems ta be no hope. Many such have as a last re= sort tried Athlophoros, and to their sur- p rise and joy have found that it was a saf, sure and quick car Athlophoros is not an experiment, thousands have been cured by its use and they testity as to its value. G. W. Aakes, Filley, Mo, says, ‘‘Ath- lophoros has done for my rheumatism than anything I have tried. [ have paid out three or four hundred dollars for doctors and other medicines, but nothing did me any good until found Athlophoros.” I, L. Davis, Insuranca and Loan Agent at Missouri Valley, Iowa, says, *I have used Athlophorss and it has cured me com- pletely, Several years ago while away in an adjoining town on business my atten- tion was called to this medicine by a_phy- sician and friend, who showed me a botile and package, and made the remark that if I was ever troubled \ rheumatism use this medicine and it will soon cure you, About iwo years ago my legs suddenly be- gan to swell and pain, particularly at the knee joints; on my right knee there was 8 bright red spot, that pained me most. In g ew days I was aware it was rheumatism, my legs and feet kept on swelling until | could ot move my toes, and for many daysand night I was obliged to sit, cat and sleep in a big chair.
