Dawes county was settled thinly in 1854 @nd no farming was tried until 185, and then only as an experiment to see what the 80il would do. 'This county had so long been characterized as a desert that the farmers were loth to come in, But by those who did come, grain, corn, ete. were vlanted. The weld was astonishing and each one vied with the other to induce emigration. The result was people poured into the country and farms were opened up 1n earnest. Every kind of crop and veetable was sown and lanted. The result has been more than sat- sfactory to the most sanguine. 1n 1556 the firat agricaltural fair was held and the exnibit then made sat stied the few who had experi- mented in farming, ‘This season, 1887, has seen & wondertul strige in this direction and the second annual fair just completed in this city was an astonisher to those best informed a3 to the ‘Yruurun» of the county.

In the street and near the church many people had assembled, but a way was easily made through the crowd and as the party passed to the door of the church the spectators uncoverad heads, but made no other demonstration. The auditorium was crowded and as the president passed down many of the congre- gation arose. A pew in front of the center of the auditorinm was accorded the visitors, There were no speclal arrangements and the usual service was conducted without change. ‘The pastor confined himself strictly to his text and alluded in no mavner to the pres- ident except in the closing prayer, when he invoked the usual blessing on the chief executive of the country, Atthe closeof the service the president’s party left the church immediately and re- turned to Mayor Frances' residence, where they dined. In the afternoon they were driven to the botanical gardensand the even- ing was spent quistly at the mayor’s house. President and Mrs. Cleveland appeared con- siderably fatigued from the trip, butare rapidly recuperating. - A Sermon By Dr. Parker. New Yonuu, Oct. 2—Rev.

Hawley, the wife of Professor Billy Hawley, the well known western puxllist, recently found one of those rare lucky stones found In the gold and sil- ver mines on the Pacific slope. She had it painted red, white and blue and forwarded to Richard K. Fox,at the Police Gazette oftice, from Omaha, to be put in the ring in Jake Kilrain’s (the American champlon) cor- ner when he fizhts the tnglish champlon. The stone is the size of a walnut and is a composition of quartz the shape of a horse- shoa. It was forwarded in abox with the following: TO MR. JAKE KILRALN, OMAUA, NEB. William E. Harding, the sporting editor of the Police Gazette, had the stone in his pocket at the Brooklyn Jockey club races on Sept 28, He boughttwo 8$5 tickets on Har- vard and the horse won, paying $:04, or $152 for each ticket. After the race the stone, which must be lucky, was admired, and the general opinion was that there may be some- thing in a lucky stove after all. 1ts First S ay Peal. ‘The Trinity chimes pealed forth in all of their harmony and sweetness upon the Sunday quiet yesterday.

First Baptist Churoh. Rev. A. W. anni preached before a large congregation Inst evening, taking his text from LAkg)17:17: “Were there not ten cleanseflscbut where are the nine?" Christ, sayd the speaker, was on His last journey from Galilee to Jeru- salem, and when He reached Sumaria He departs from the pudlic highway and goes a long distange out of His course to meet the ten unfertanates, who, by rea- son of their infirmity, were banished from the presenffe’jof ‘men. This i« another instance of His divine compns- slon and of His great concern for the happiness of the suffering. Here there are ten lepers; they have been drawn to- gother by a common- suffering. The fact that in their isolation the reports about Jesus had reached them, isa striking Sermon at the proof of the greatness of His fame. Doubfless they had long hoped that He would come their way and we can very readily pic- ture to oursclves the intense excite- ment they must have felt when they knew that He was actually passing along the road near by. They could not come nearer to the public highway than 100 P 80 they raised their cry as Christ and His friends wero passing by. Itis a moment of desperate hope. I[n that ory is concentrated the hopuu and thoughts verhaps of years. Their cry startles every ear ‘‘Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.'” And their cry reaches an ear that is never indifferent to the cry of distress. He stops and looks towards them. He speaks: “Go show yoursclves to the priests.” A strange command—no promise that they would be healed —and obedience rm}nired no small degree of faith, ‘Their faith was very imperfect. No doubt they did not yet comprehend his messianic dignity and were doubtless full of confused notions as to who He was, but they had beard that He was a great healer, a great prophet. They appealed to Him and He does not reject them becaunse their faith is weak. We notice, tirst, how Christ varies His treatment of different cases. Here His method is to try the faith of the lep~ ers; He sends them away unheeded. In another case Christ will resist strong faith to make it stronger. It s thus He tried the Syrophwenician woman when He told her that it was not meet to take the children’s bread and give 1t to the dogs. In another case He aids weak faith lest He quench the smoking flax or break the bruised reed. The woman who had been sick twelve years, and whom the doctors could not heal, is an illustration of this. When she, timid and shrinking, feared to come before the crowd, but touched His garment, He saw the timidity and weak- ness of her faith, and He said to her: *‘Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made the whole.” An important fact we often overlook is this: God employs us in executing iis mercy towards us. He demands of us to do what we can that He may dao what we cannot. Christ alwpys insists on this. Let us see. To the man with the withered nand He said, “‘Stretch forth thy hand.” How could he stretgh that hand forth? or raige that withered arin that had been useless th five yeats? But he must make the effort, thérg must be the con- junction of his will with the divine promise to heal, and in that conjunction Now you been hoping, wishing, waiting, ¢ in me."” I am He says, ot he obtained the divine mercy. have longing. Christ says, ‘‘Be! Yousay, ‘‘l cannot. How can 1? full of the leprosy of sin.” “Try,” and in thoe effort e will m with you and bless your soul. The mo ment they tried to obey they were heal for notice, ‘‘And it cume to pass as they went.” Their faith, as we have said, was imperfect and certainly mixed up with many erroncous notions, but they saw sufficient to move them to obedience, and obeying they were im- mediately healed, = You observe that what is ventured on faith in Jesus' promises 1s never fruitless. A striking illustration of this came under my obser~ vation some time ago. A German girl reared in infidetity and skepticism, but who was troubled about her soul, came to me und said, "I cannot believe in the divinity of Jesus.” 1 said, “What do you believe? Do you believe that you are a sinner? Would you like to believe that the Lord is your Savior?" “Yes," she said, *'I would give worlds to believe that He was divine.”” “Well,” [ ans swered, ** ‘It any man will do My will he shall know of the doc- tring.” ‘This is the promise and now you go to Him and claim that promise, and tell Him you want to do His will. You want to believe in Him, and see if He does not let the light of His love shine into your soul.” She came several days after and said she had tried the Lord and now she knew He was the Son of God, for nothing but a Divine Savior could do for a soul what He had done for her. So these were commanded to go without being healed and mn going they felt the electric shock of returning health, One of them when he saw that he was healed —what sensations must have filled his heart? No wonder he shouted with lond voice and praised God. There are times when men ought to shout. HOW OFTEN WE ARE DISAPPOINTED OF MEN. “He was a Samdritan.’’ No one ex- vected anything of him. This is often illustrated 1n hfe. Peovle of whom we have the right to expect great things turn out badly., People of whom we thougnt nothing, come to the Savior and surprise us by their nobleness. “Where are the niney”’ Christ's omaiscience comes to view, though ubsent. He knew they were healed; 1here is a sadness in his question. Yormerly a miracle set ten to praising; now ten mira- cles set but one to praising. ‘I'he mercy they receivea was extraordinary:yet only onc showing gratitude. The same is true now, ten are cleansed, but where the nine? Only one is found to ord before men the goodness of (iod to him. Ina thousand ways God is dis- playing His goodness and mercy—in sorrow, in sickness, in pestilence, in great dangers and in multitudinous ways to the sons of men, saving them and blessing them, yet but few there are whose words and life show an appre- ciation of divine mercy. i AMUSEMENTS, — Opening of the German Theatrical Scason—Other Nutes. The first poerformanee of the winter season of Baureis & Puls German com- pany was given last- evening at Boyds. The audience was large and appreciative and the piece in most respects was pre- sented 1o a lively and entertaining mian- ner. The play was “Der Bibliothekas ' produced for the firsttime in this city. It is the original 5i the ‘‘Private Secre tary,"” which made & great hit with Gil- rette in the title role two seasons ago. The latter picce vossessed much more stage business than does the “Der Bibliothekar" though the plot of the orignal 1s sufliciently well conceived to provoke a great deal of amusement. Mr. Kraft, one of the new members of the new company, had a good make-up and a fine concoption of the character, though some of the effects of his acting were lost by too much play- ing to the aumence. rry Marslana was played by Conrad Nies, another new actor, but without the dash and mischiey- ous spirit of which it is capanle.

The In- dians! A band of braves, mounted and in their war paint; plumed and feathered and fierce visaged, armed to the tecth; savages from sealp lock to moccasin, Be- hind them, on foot, a band of younger braves that will sweep these old warriors and savages out of existence forever. In the neat uniforms of their schools,trim and tidy as any boys in any graramar school in the land, march- ing steadily as soldiers, with the free, oasy stride born of the prairies, each dark-skinned brave armed with a slate, marched these dusky war- riors from Carlisle and Hampton and Lincoln institute. It was grand, it was inspiring, it was sublime, it was chris- tian ! Aclass of boys and girls drove by, singing with all their Indian hearts i their brave voices: ‘‘Hail Columbia, Happy Land." Anything but a “‘happy land’* has Columbia, from the day of Co- lumbus to the day of the cowboys, been for them and their fathers. T'heysang as i After them came the at their trades; me- chanics, teachers; irly at housework: bright, neat, happy looking girl cooking, sewing, knitting, reading; trained nurses in a hos- pitul ward; useful, happy girls as your own daughters.

There was 1ts solution—the rescue of a race by a christian nation. There is something for this government to do with the next river and harbor appropri- ation bill—divert the spoil from Mud creek, Sandy run and Beasley's branch and pour it out upon these Indian schools. —_—— HAS A BAD MORAL. An Omaha Gambling Debt of Two Dollars Pays Twenty Thousand, Harrisburg Ielegraph.--1 was talking with a gentleman from Nebraska the other day, and he was telling me of the wonderful jump real estate has taken in some parts of that state, but one incident he quoted was particularly interesting. He said that about two years ago a former regular army oflicer, an acqnaintance of his, ealled on him with the deeds of some property in his city and asked him where the property was located. It was in the evening and the gentleman told the oflicer to stop with him all night and they would look uv the property in the morning. They had a pleasant evening, going over the old army life and swapping storios of Iife on the frontier when they were both young and lively and were liable to bet a month's salary on a poker hand. In the morning they looked up the vroperty, which happened to consist of five acres of good &xml within the limits of the city. “What do you think it 15 worth" asked the officer. A 20,000,” was the answer, been offered 10,000 for1t,” said the ofticer, ‘*and {'m glad I met you. Now, do you know how I got that prop- erty?"” “Ihaven't the slightest idea, unless you bought it,” answeged the gentle man, “Well, I took 1t for a two-dollar poker dobt when I was on the frontier years ago."’ K iroat Scottl A twenty thousand dollar property for two dollars!

While he was gone a young wman entered the store to buy a cont, A sulosman waited upon the “customer and showed him a coat plainly marked $7. The customer tried 1t on and said i & pieasant, con- fiding way: i want a good article and can afford to pay a little more.” The salesman showed him many coats, and, tiunl'ljv, having_removed the tag. again offered him the $7 coat which had fitted him at first and said: “‘Here is a coat, a fine article, just your fit, which I can sell you for $12." The cont was ni:nin tried on, the young man seemed pleused, paid his money and went away. On the merchant's return the salesman, with a smile of trinmph all over his countenance, rushea up to him and boasted of what he had done. The merchant looked grave. He only said “Does any one know who the customer was?'' A little boy had recogmzed him a8 a workman 1n a_neighboring factory and remembered his nam 'he mer- chant sent for the young man, told him of his mortitioation, gave him back §3 and the privilege of returning the coat if he chose” und then said to the clerk “'Now, sir, I will pay you your week's salary and I wish you fo go.” If you cheat customers you have not principle enough not to oheat me. If Iean't have my people sell goods honestly I will go out of the business, Good day, sir.”’ A BURCLAR IN THE MUSEUM. How the Metropolitan Musoum of Art Was . Robbad, JACOB SHARP IN A NEW LIGHT. A Congo Teader—The Dry Goods Rus- iness—Omaha's New Buffalo Head —Business Looking Up —New York Letter. NEwW York, Sept.27.—[Correspondenco of the Bek.]—<The Metropolitan Museum of Art hassustained a serious loss through o bold and successful robbery which was perpetrated some days ago. One morning betweon 10 and 11 o'clock a thief pried open one of the cases that contains some of the most highly prized portions of the famous collection dug up at Kurium, Cyprus, by General di Cesnola, and car- ried away a pair of solid gold bracelets, the most valuable articles in the case. Their intrinsic worth 18 estimated at about $1,000, but from an archmological or anliquarian point of view their value is almost incalculable. The Kurium col- lection, as is generally known, 13 perhaps the rarest and most valuable of all the articles found at Cyprus. It includes the official seal of Thotmes I, a king of Egypt, who counquered Cyprus about 1,400 B. C.; Babylonian cylinders or records of fine stone which Rawlinson and Sayce refer to dates 2,700, 8,100 and 3,500 years ago; a gold armlet of a king of Paphos, and a multitude of other precious objects that were placed as votive offerings in the unknown temple at Kurium whi 1t was the general's good fortune to discover. These bracelots aro believed to be at least 2,700 years old. SHAKP IN A NEW LIGHT. I do not know whether all lawyers be- lieve thoroughly 1n the cases they defend, but [ do know that Mr. Stickney thoroughly believes in _Jacob Sharp's in- nocence as a briber. He regards Sharp as entirely the victim of extortion. Tho aldermen had him by the throat and would not let him go until he paid them a certain amountof money. This may be perfectly true, but the man who submits togextortion, except it be from pirates who hold his life in their hands, has no right to submit, If he should then he would become a party to a guilty trans- action. 1 hold that the aldermen do- serve greater punishment than does Sharp, because their crime is greater, but if there should be no bribe-givers there would be no extorters. If they had demanded money of Sharp he would have found it much better policy to speak of it by no higher name, 1f he had then and there refused their demand and exposed their methods. You cannot clean out a cess-pool by throwing more filth in it. A CONGO TRADER. Few Americuns have any practical ex~ perience or knowledge of the Congo country, where Henrv M. Stanley pur- sued his African exptorations, Wiiliam Cooper, ot West Twenty-second strect, i one of the few Americans who have penetrated that region. He went over there in 1885 on a trading expedition and followed the Congo river 750 miles into the country from its mouth. He re- mained there about a year to exchange a lot of beads, accordeons, mouth-organs, jewsnarps and similar trinkets for the valuable ivory, skins, and sim i cles of commerce which the natives w wlad to barter for his gewgaws. He the other day that at the end of a year he sold his goods in Liverpool tor some- thing like $6,800, which was almost en- tirely net protit. While chatting about Africa Mr. Cooper said, “It has always been a wonder to tue that,while the h.,.fy of David Livingstone was brought back to be interred in Great Britain with all the honors that belong to a great explorer,the remains of his faith- ful wife wore left where she died. Mrs. Livingstone was in Africa for something like twenty years, following her husband and s fortunes with wonderful faith- fulness. and deserving rare credit for her fortitude and fidelity. ‘The English gov- ernment ought to d for her body, and place it by the side of her husband.” BUSINESS LOOKING UP, Itis a long lane that knows no turning, and just at present the Wall street breth- ren ‘are ing hopefully upon this proverb. :s have been depressed for o long season, business has been dull, ana about the only things that have oc- curred to interest the speculative public have been bad tumbles in enterprises. But there seems to be good reason now to look for something of & boom, flmui:h few exnect thatit will begin immediately. ‘The effect of Ive’s exit, and the jacke screw set under the B. & G. to rebuild its underpinning, is healthy and encour- aging, but it will be at best but tempor- ary unless sustained st once by causes more general and far reaching. The best opinion of the strect as determined by the writer in a rambling tour of the lending oftices, is that this desideratum will be attained, not with & rush, per- haps, but in the manner of a steady pull to high prices during scveral months of oporations. The present condition of business is full of promise therefore for a big revival THE DRY GOODS Bl 3. One of the dry goods merchants of New York, Colonel William L. Strong, of Worth street, had just come down from Saratoga the other day, and fell to talking about phases of the dry goods business. He said that in its general as- 2 trade was as prosperous as could be desired or anticipated, except in the single direction of worsted goods. This 18 awbranch of American industry in which a ruling by the secretary of the treasury has virtunlty destroyed —an enormous American production. Ten years ago there were no fine worsteds manufactured in this country. ‘Three years ago the product amounted to nearly $20,000,000. Last year under the ruling of the sceretary thig product was decreased over one-half. Mr. Strong said that a mill which had been yielding an anuual profit of $30,000 to $40,000 n vear would scarcely yield a dollar dividend tius year. Che injury is likely to extend into “the future as well, for he said that importers are taking or. ders for these goods at $1,50 to $1 .75 which cannot ha made in this country for less than $1.90. The difticulty aruse from the fact that when the present tariff law was passed, no first-class wool was used for the manufacture of worsted goods, and the tariff on the wool imported for thw mani worsteds was put up at o WiRGWITS ¢ low rate. Atthe present time first-class wools are used largely for the manufact- ure of worsteds and under the ruling of the secretary of the treasury are still brought in at the low turifl. orr comr BUFFALO HEAD.
