The Female Drummer ~More Drum- mers' Day Talk—A Veteran Trav- eler—Sunday at the Hotely— Samples from tho Gossips. The Female Drammer. Have you soen tho latest comer In the field | ‘When you gaze upon her, know your Fate is sealed ! 1t's no sort of use to throw your Self before hor And implore her, In your weakness, And your meckness; Nor to mutter, You are but a Man, and she a female drummer. She will talk you deaf and dumber Than a clam ‘Though you know the goods she's selling Aro a sham ; You give in—there's no ropelling Her invasion, English, Asian, White or yellow, Where's the foilow That is human, Born of woman. Can resist the female drummer Be It winter, be it summer, She will drum On her tours of devastation She will come, And your bump of approbation Can but dwindle At the swindle You submit to; Wife will twit, too, Till you wonder Why in thunder Heaven e’er made the female drummer. A Street Car Incident. As a motor train passed the Paxton house corner about 8 o'clock Wednesilay afternoon 18 was stopped for w moment to let on two passengers. One was o woman of middle age, neatly but plainly dressed, evidently a well-to-do woman of the middlo cluss. Her companion was possibly thirteen years old. Thelikeness in feature marked tho twain sisters. It was particularly a ploasure to ook upon the face of the younger, high- spirited, fresh and innocent. ‘The older woman approached the con- avctor and_ told him to put her sister off at the Central houseon the other side. He started and looked sharply at her for a mowent, then, half curiously, nodded his bead in assent. At the next corner the elder turned to the little girl at her side, and kiss- ing her fondly, said she hoped all would be pleasant at the new place and that she “would like 1t. Then she left the car, Tho conductor addressed his little passen- ger, saying: *‘Did you say you wanted to get off at the Central houso ! “Yos, sir.” *Havo you ever been there before” WNow “Whiat are you going to do there?” “Why, I'm going to do chumberworlk," she replicd ‘wonderingly, unable to understand why she was subjected to such questioning. “How does it come you oro going there?” he persisted. “Why, an old lady and & man called at our Rouse last night and spoke t my parents about me. They said I might go.” “Well, do yon know the character of this Central nouse?” “No.” “Well, then, you must not go there. It Is one of the werst hell-holes in the city, a re- sort. for negro and white prostitutes. You would be in fearful danger thero.” Then he sat down and told her in a big- hearted brotherly way of the inevizable re- sult should she enter this house. Death or ‘worse surely awaited her there, and he coald mot allow her to proceed. She looked to him like a mere child, innocent and ignorant. Sbe must return home to her sister, As he told her all this the littlo miss's big blue eyes spread wide with horror, and she thanked her preserver generously. A traveling man _who was a deeply inter- ested, though silent spectator, jumped to his ot and heartily grasping the conductor's and exclaimed: “By Gi—d, here’s a man, snd a man who deserves the best inthe land. If no other testumonial to his square- mess can be given 1'll see that his action nds its way into print. Most men wouid ve sat still and let this little girl go straight to. hel. Why, I myself heard hor say she was going to that hell hole, and I looked at her in_surprise. She seemcd very young and innocent to be going to such a piace, but T'd never have thought to stretch out a hand to hold her back. We are all a blamed sight too careless and it's a real treat to meet a man—a real true man who knows how to act s well as how to sce.” “Don’t put 1t t0d_strong, for those peoplo might slug me some night. They’re quite capavlo of doing it,” interposed the con- ductor. It isenly through the modesty of the latter that he is nameless here. The girl was brought back to the place whoro she got. on the car, and within a short distance found her sister. A Pertinent Query. OMama, July %.—To the Editor of Tam Bre: Wil some of the many boys who are talldng so much of “Drummers’ Day" dur- ing Morchants’ week, please inform us when the committee of merchants have asked them $0 take part in the weok’s work? T8 it not going a little too fast to presume that the drummers are nocessary to make tho week a success? Of course the drusmer is noted for his eheck, but wo had no idea he would insist on the jobber taking him in on the pleasure that gOes with the business | Ts it not enough for the jobber to pay all the profits out this year 1 salary and ex- penses of the drumier, without fixing up ar- rangoments for a day off{ Now, for heaven's sake, boys, let up on Ahis drummer day talk, and put in your time selling goods, and when the jobbers need Four asaistance in a Merchants' week they Wil call on you. ONE OF THEM. In reply to the above, which appeared last week, "One Who Was There” writes as follows: Evidently the party who wrote the article regard to Drummers' day, in your 1ssue of o 20th, is-not acquainted with the particu- ra of our parado last yoar. L will ask him what was thore last year besides Drummers’ day for the entertainment of visiting mer- ghants while in the city. I will also state that all expenses connected with the travel- ing men's part of the parado was paid by the boys. ‘Thero is no doubt but what the mer- chants of Omaba appreciated our efforts and would gladly extend us an invitation to par- ticiputo this year, If this party thinks it is all ploasure and no work to take part i these parados, and that the boys are only after the pleasure there is in it, I would refer him to Robert Easson, Joseph Gar- peau, jr., Charles A. Coe, John Brady, Mr. Croy or Mr. Meday. Any of the above can fell you if tho drummor did -any work last 7. Mot of the boys look at the mattor m a busine: nd to help entertain their eustomers while in Omaha. In answer to the last sentence of his artiole I will say that the boys who did all, or nearly all, the work 1ast year keep up their end of the striog in selliiig goods for their respective houses.

He 1s the manager for two Iarge manufacturers who have sales- rooms in St. Louis, whero they carry a heavy stock of goods for delivery in the west. He says ho never drinks between drinks nor eats on ‘an_empty stomach, but often refers to the governors of Nortn and South Carolina. A Nocturnal Guest, “Did you hear the latest on — ——1" in- quired a well known knight of the grip, as he edged up to a reporter and uttered the name of a fellow drummer ho represents one of the leading grocery houses of Omaha. The scribe replicd to the nega- tion. “Well then 1 can relate to you a corker, but don't mention any names or there will be trouble in the ranks of the gentiles. We were out at — about a week ago, and there being no train upon which wo might depart at a_seasonable hour, and as we had both listed heavy orders, we con- cluded to put up at the hotel over night. There were but few of the boys in the hotel that night, and in consequence we were al- loted the parlors on the first floor. We retired somewhat late, and, the night being warm, we left our window open, I was aroused from mg slumbyr by the bite of & festive bedbug, but after deliberately mur- dering the intruder, 1 again closed by eyes upon the wicked world. Suddenly I heard a noise not unlike the roar of a cannon, which was followed be the smashing of furniture, glass, and, in fact, it scomed as though the elomonts of destruction had been turnod loose, and that the building was to be reduced to fragments, My room opened into the office where the night clerk—a large brindlo bull-dog—was stationed, and I was dis suaded from instituting an investigation. In & fow moments tho landlord appeared upon thescene. This gave me courags and I ventured out in order o as- cortain what was up. The noise came from that portion of the building where my partner was domiciled, and as tho landlord and myself entered the hallway there he stood in his nocturnal garb with his former rosy cheeks as white as bleached musliu. “‘Say,’ he stammered, addressing the landlord, ‘why in - didn't you tell mse something about that cu d thing. I never hud such -a close call in my life. Talk about spooks, I thought that the devil himself was in that window.’ ““You see, thero wae a mule allowed to run at lurge, und it poked its heaa through the wingow and brayed. -—— was asleep, and of course he was frighted all the more. Just as the mule swuug his air from a to g, sprang from the bed and broke the door down it making his escape.’ Horace Simms. Horace Simms was at the Murray yester- day. Away back 1 '74, in the gentle springtime, Simms made his first visit to Omaha. In his own words, “it was a rocky trip.” “I don’t remember,” said Horace, as he pulled Billy Anderson’s whiskers, “‘just what road it was I came 1n on, but I do remember 1anding away off there about fourteen miles below Council Bluffs and taking an old stern ‘wheel ferryboat for Omaha. The wheezy old engine puffed along at tho rate of about & mile an hour, and finally we landed at Omaha. There were a lot of Indians on the bank, a few white men and an old- fashioned _omnibus. It was mudd Muddyt Well, that old caravan's wheels went down about three feet in the mud. It was a hard trip, but finally we landed at a hotel tbat stood over there near where the Millard now stands. The hotel wasn't first class in all its appointments, but we were treated royally by the proprietor and had no kick coming. In these latter years when [am at Omaha on Sunday I amuse myself by noting the changes in the town during these ffteen years. Where there was mud in '74 there are now well pavea stroe! nd on the whole this old town of Omaha is the most promising city of the west. By the way, I was up to sec the new home of Tie Bee yesterday, and also the New York Life .building, and [ consider them the two fiuest structures wost of New York, and I dou't care where they are. Death of a Traveling Man. ‘W. A. McCutcheon, a traveling man from Des Moiues, aged about fifty years, died at the Park hotel in Atlantic, 1a., of heart dis- case or apoplexy.

ALSO A LITTLE GAME OF DRAW. The Ladies Indulge in the Festive American Game, as Well as the Colonels and Judges. Onuting at the Lake. Srinrt Lake, la., July 90.—|Special to Tre Bee. | —Spirit Lake has had its mid-fammer crush, and the regular guests of Hotel Or- leans are once more happy in the thought that for the remainder of the soason they will have rest, comfort and quict inthe pleasant groves and beaches of the beautiful lako, Tho woek started in until yesterday evening nothing but crowds. The common conversation from last Mon- day morning until Wednesday at 8 o'clock was about races, The crews were all on hand, and two or threo times each day the light'shells wero driven through tho glassy water over the course. Kach team worked hard to learn the courso at every point and fit themselves for the contest, With each crew's appearance interest in the races increased to such an_extent that when the first crew appeared in their boat pre- pared to strive for the covoted medals, fully 3,000 poople looked upon thom with specula- tive interest. The crowd was scattered along every part of the course. The surfaco of the lake was dotted with every kind of twater craft and device that would float and carry vassen- ger: Tho lake steamer, “The Queen," was char- tered for the referes, the judges, represen- tatives of the preas and their wives. Tue Bek was represented by o good large par. The next largest craft in sight was a_sail boat which would accomodate fifty people. It was anchored just outside of the fishing flags, and its passengers included an Omaha party of about twenty, whose names were given in the race report. The grove in front of the hotel, the hotel verandas and tower held the rest of the crowd and their cheers reached far up the conrse. The races were over Thursday afternoon, and Thursday evening the medals were pre: sented at the regatta hop, Colonel Clark, of Cedar Rapids, in a very pleasant little speech aunounced the names of the winning crows 1n each race, and as he did so the members of tho crows stepped forward and received their prize. During the romainder of the evening there was 80 much shining gold worn by the vie- tors and their best girls, that one could easily imagino limself af a reception of some of tho crowned heads, or that Gilmore and his famous band had been turned loose upon the company. Each and every town represented in the regatta received a medal but nicGregor. ‘They rowed in two of three hard races, and made a royal showing, but the rud- dor of their boat could mot cross the line first. Council Bluffs were late n thelr winnings, but they won a glorious and cloge victory when it came. It was the swimming race, and the last event on the programme. Mr. J. L. Dodgn represonted the Bluffs in this race, and by his endurance as well as_his speed was able to win in soy enty-five yards by only a body’s length. It was anybody's race until the last twenty yards, when a beautifal spurt landed the winner in his place. The races have not been the only source of entertainment during the week. Tuesday a game of ball between the Cedar Rapids Episcopal church choir boys and the Spirit Lake nine for the gate receipts was watched with interest by & good crowd. The mem- bers ‘of tha choir do not care to have tho score of the game anuounced. Wednesday morning a game was played on the hotel grounds between nines from Sibly and Pivestone. Thursday was the base ball day of the season, however, when nine brawny Indians from the great’ Sioux reser- vation crossed bats with the local nine. To say that the red man can play ball does not haif express it. He throws and runs bases with au accuracy and speed that would make an American ball player blush, and wish he belonged to tno great rod tribe. The bovs acquired their knowledge of the game at the Indian school in Carlisle, Pa. Each nine won and 10st a game by oue score. The races and base ball, however, did not attract every one. The knights of the'line and rod wero persistent in their attempts to anni- hilate the finny tribe, and every day fishing boats started away loaded with fishermen. Tho ovents of the evenings have been the hops. Tuesday evening tho office of the hotel was converted into an informal ball room, and the week’s dancing began. The_first dress partyof the weelk was given Wednesduy nlght in the dinmg hall. It was the regular midweek party and was attended by about one hundred couples. Tho regetta hop took place last might, and while not_quite so large as the Wednesday evening party was pleasanter, owing to the decrease in numbers. About seventy-five couples attended it. Aside from tho general public amusements, such ns dancing, base ball and fishing, small individual crowds of about four or six may be seen wending their way to rooms during the_carly hours of the evening or af- ternoon. What they do there can only be surmised from the rattle of the ivory. A distinguished member of the United States senate, from & university town in this state, has aneat square table in bis room, where every evenng u select company of judges, colonels, etc., discourse on the twenty-five cont limit.subject, A swell English party raise that limit a little and_entertain their American friends once in a while, or be entertained. Tho great navional game is not limited to tho gentlemen only. A number of ladics are said to indulge in a five and ten cent limit, and settle like soldiers. One pecatiarity about the guests at the Orleans is_their lack of appreciation of an clegaut bathing beach. No lake or ocean has a finer sandy boach, or clearer water than Spirit Lalko, This feature of summer resort lifo scems to be appreciated by only about twenty-five of the rusticators. Among theso Miss Wilson, of Omaha, has the reputation of being the handsomest diver and swimmer, She can be scen in the water almost every afternoon. Miss Merbar, of New York, hus the second place in the eyes of the peoplo as *lone of tho ladies who dive.” The class of people who neither swim, fish or row spend their their time buried in books, and enjoying the elegant cool weather which the lake has been blossed with all summer, A cool enough breeze auring the day to render flannel outing suits very confortable sud make Light wraps comfortable during the evening. This kind of weather makes life at the lakes very attractive for Omaha visitors, aud has a tendency to_detain them here until Omaha is cool enough to live in, The ouly departure for Omaha during the prosent week was' Mr. Charles Ogdea. A number of Council Bluffs citizens wero pres- ont during the week to witness the races, but have returned home o to other rosorts, Auwong those present who have returned to the Bluffs were Mayor and Mrs. M. F. Rhoror, L. M. Treynor and the members of the crews. J. L. Dodge, Phil Dodge, Miss Dodge and her friend, Miss Judson, have de- parted for their cottage at Cear lake.

Watkins, a mantifactarer of cooper- age at Rock Falls, Ili, Was in the city yes- terday at the Paxtor hotel. Questioned re- garding the general vondition of his trade, he said: “‘Consolidation 1s: the central ideaof the, age. We fool it. Every businoss foels it. Just where it will all end js an interesting prob- lem that our social philosophers should tacklo. It's like looking for tho bridge at the other end of oternity. It beats all how fast things havo boen going that way during the last ten years. A '@écade ago the butter tub and barrel business of the north Mis- sissippi was in tho bands of thousands of small_manufacturers, @and the work was done almost entirely by hand. An army of men was employed in the big barrel shops of Minneapolis, and another army in the in- numerablo country butter-tub factories of Towa, lllinois and Minnesota. They ail earncd good wages, were independent and were inveterate travelors, To-day the same territory is covered by loss than half a dozen big butter-tub factories, whoso output is vastly largor than was that of the hand shops. Not 8o much change is noticeable in the Minneapolis bar rel shops as in the butter tub factories. In tho latter oven more thun 1n the formor, labor saving machinery has displaced skilled hand labor and driven hundreds of men from the trade, Lots of men who forierly earncd 815 to $20 a woek at the bench are working now for half as much, and glad to get it, running machinery. Most of the best men have quit the trade, though I can't see what has become of them. And yet it would be folly for any man to say that iabor saving machinery isn’t & good thing for the race.” “*Hull is out of the race,” remarked a well- known Iown politician stopping at the Pax- ton last evening. **In fact, he never was in it. He's a slow horse in mighty fast cow- pany, to use a sporting phrase, and he knows itas well as any man. Ho isn't in the race 10 win, but to help_one of the big fellows pocket the other. It's going to be Hutchin- son or Wheeler, and if the convention don't say Wneoler I'll miss my guess. ~Larrabeo couldn’t have it now, and wouldn't take it if he could. Sour grapes!

Alison's term doesn’t exvire for a lit- tle while yer, and the doughty little gov- ernor can spend a year or two to good advan- tage trimming his anls for tho longor flight. Allison is strong enough to stand six ycars more of it, but it's dollars to cents he dow’t try very hard for it. Allison and Dave Henderson, congressman from the Third, and really the very brightest fellow in_the Towa delogation, are warm friends. Both are from the same town, which the balauce of the state mignt object to if the men were'nt of the heaviest caliver. Allison is old, and could step down and out gracefully bearing with him the affectionate. farewel of a nation, Henderson is young enough to_aspire, and strong enough to win. Some 'day ho will demand a scat in the United States senate-—and get it, to0. Now, wark this: Damon and Pyth- ins wore no more devoted to cach other than Larrabee and Henderson. First and last they will support each other, and if they take the field together, they 'could sweep Towa like a_hurricane and have any thing thoy want for the asking. Now, mark my prediction, both théso men will go to the sen- ate, ana Larrabee first of the pair. To be sure, there is (nothing 80 uncertain as the outcome ot political plans, and all such predictions must bg to_a dogres guosswork, but the speaker has put in fifteen years hard campaigning in Iows, niost of the time serv- 1ng on the state cehtral committes, and all the time enjoying :the:: confldences of the leaders; hence, his apinions carry much weight.” . 0. F. Wilson, a Nodaway county,Missouri, general farmer, poured the following tale into the ear of a Beg reporter as the pair sat on the Arcade's fropt stops yesterdsy after- noon: ! ““We don't care § cent whether binding twine goes up or down; we are wdifferent as to whether or not the Chicago detectives ever catch Tascott, and we don't have to rise in the dewy morn and hunt the chinch bugs out of our wheat felds with shotguns, cither; but there's ono thing we all buy pools on'and give odds every time.

If there's any one thing Missouri should feel proud of more than of everything else it's her fruit crop. 1t’s simply immenso in quantity and quality, and this year will pan out better thau ever.

The Rock lIsland at the Head of the Omana & Gulf Road. Articles of incorporation of the Omaha, Lincoln & Gulf railway have been filed with the secretary of state, an account of which appeared in the Lincoln bureau of Tme Bex yesterday. ‘The incorporators are George L. Rhochs, G. A. Wulkop, J. L. De Bevoise, B. Silloway and M. P. O'Brien. Mr. Rhochs 1s right-of-way agentof the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, witn headquarters at Chicago. G. A, Wulkop is vice president of the Hutchinson, Oklahoma & Gulf rallway. | De Bevoise is local ticket agent of the Rock Island in this city. B, Silloway is proprie- tor of the Murray hotel, aud M. P. O'Brien is a local attorne) Mr. Silloway, one of the incorporators, when questioned concerning the matter, stated that important steps relative to the on. That a line crossing the stato of Kansas, had Dbeen surveyed. He was reticent concerning the support of the project, financially, but it was learned from one of the incorporators who desired that his name be withheld, that the Rock Island is behind the deal. The plan is, he said, to build a line from Omaba to Hutchinson, where a connection would be made with' the Oklahoma road, and the ninety miles of the latter road, already con- structed, would be used by the new line in building' southward to the Gulf of Mex- ico. In other words, the new com- pauy would absorb the Hutchin- son & Oklahoma franchise, Messrs. Rhochs and Wulkop, he said, were here last weok, and looked into the matter of gaining an entrance to Omaha, Thoy are now in Chicago, but will return in a " few days. He also stated that as soon as the plans were perfocted in dotail it was the intention of the projectors to ask tho city of Omaha, and the counties and towns through which the line is 10 pass, to vote bonds us a bonus for tho con- struction of the rosd, The capital stock is placed at $12,000,000. Should circumstances prove favorablo the road will be pushed to completion. The ongineering of the enter- prisa is left entirely in the hands of Rhochs, which substantiates the statement to the effoct that the Rock Island is behind the movement.

PICTURES ALONG THE LINE Old Localities Brought Into Notice and New and Desirable Ones Rapldly Reached From Town. The Sherman Avenuo Motor. Tt was agreat day for the Mercer motor. 1t was a groat day for outing. It was a groat day for babes, It was tho first Sunday the north and northwest motors raun, and, like the opening of & new bridge, the inoeption of a new in- dustry, the opening of a new building, every- body wanted to see it. And everybody or noarly everybody is supnosed to have not only seen it, but to have ridden upon it. The trains, evon late into the night, were loaded with passengers. There were among the patrons men, women and children who had never ridden on any street convey- auce save a horso car. To themn there was a novelty in the rumble of the machinery, the hum of the trolley under tha copper wiro and the rapidity with which thy train flow past houses and intersections, us if in defi- ance of city ordinances regarding rates of locomotion.” Then the atmosphoro was plea ant and inspired the riders with tho expecta-~ tion and buoyancy of so many people picnic- bound. Tho bell rings. A long note like A sharp, in orescendo, like the song of the wind sounds. Thoro1s a rumble baneath. The train moves. The note becomes louder, the racket beneath becomes more distinct. It beats a lively tatoo to the air which the spoaking wire above is singing. Louder and louder becomes the music, more rapidly beats the hidden drummer and with & G-whizs feclng dominating the con- trivance, the tram jumps.into a ten-mile Rait. Out from the streets in the inner part of the city which one sees overy duy, it rattlos along thoroughfares little known except to those who live in the vicinity. Up Soven toenth stroet, past houses built a generation ago, curiously associated with those of later years, it loads to a series of pictures which may, at best, be only faiatly reproduced. Here is a little double cottage, with doors scarcely large enough to admit an average adult. Ou the porch of one-half of 1t sits a Union Pacific shopman with his large family and portly, comely wife. delijghted with the visit of the electric wonder, On uext porch sits man, whom this work has pleasures, because the hand of de has laid its mark upon his features. Near by 1s the emerald-carpoted lawn, the conservatory and the oil works of Clark Woodman. There is a little black unpainted one-story frame building. It was erected by a band which was cstablished in North Omaha sev- eral years ago. But the band died and the house has long since found other owners. A horse and buggy stand before the door of & cottage. An ardent swain 1s helping s inamorata into the vehicle, the while a left-behind sistor peeks in envy from out the parlor window. Here, 18 a large house with ample porch. A big, good-natured German, with two chi dren on his knees, four others in close prox- imity, with his good wife on a step leading to the piazza, sits in spoechless adwmiration of the flying train, Further along, thers is a row of flats. Its every window is bopulatea. Four .YOUHH men jump from o game of cards and bunch their heads in inspection uptil the cars have left, their vision. Inside a door, in the same structuro, stands a bonaeted and demure damsel, whose lover's promise to take her riding has not been fulfilled. The noisa of the truin ceases. The train stops. When it is again in motion, a deli- cate man, & round, red, rosy woman with four tawny-headed, noisy, inquisitive chil- dren have been added to the quota. Here is a house which is plastered with fifteen s1gus “to rent,” which is generally pronounced a shame. On one side of the street the residences are humble and on the other they stand upon abank and are of the ornate and ginger- bread style which has of late vears been so extensively introduced into this city. We shoot by them and turn the curve on to Clark street where, yesterday, Mr. Balcombe found his rotten cedar blocks. 'The wonder is the ciscovery was not made weeks ago, a8 it should have been, before a block was laid. Rotteu cedar smells like rotten apples. The smell which greets the tourists'nostrils would argue that a mountain of that decayed fruit had been deposited in the neizhborhood. However, the party is out for & pleas- ant drive. It finds no comfort in tarrying with pestilence, Tt speeds along Sherman avenue, There is less of the wail in the notes which tho trolley sounds. It is & note of triumph over having secured possession of the thoroughfare, because it was bere Meroer had his greatest fignt. Under the massive cottonwoods the train glides, disdainfui of the fact that the track upon which it rides has destroyed the only drive that Omaha possessed. Tom Daily’s residence is passed and the eratwhile Salisbury tract, now held by Gov- ernor Sauuders; D. Chambers’ pretty place, the Cotter lawn, the Bauman park, with its brewery background, and the little forest and cluster of houses which Dock Smith has built upon his ola-time possessions follow. Here we overtako a_struggling horso at- tached to a buggy. The vehicle contains a lover and his girl. The motor has sent athrill of terror into the steed’e hcart. The feeling is communicated w0 the young man and maiden, the farmer instinctively pulling on the lines, without apparent pur- pose. Finally, the animal staggers with the vehicle toward the cars, and there ro: od motionless as the train passed him like a shot. A collision of a most serivus result is avoided only by the thickness of a hair. Spoechless women breath a sigh of relief, The trolley sings as merrily as if it had been brought into the world to_show how horses may be dispensed with and the best. thing to do with them is to kill them at the earliest opportunity. Then the beautiful lawns of A, J. Popple- ton, with its dark green hedge, and winding walks leaping to the vine-clad and trettised porch of the residence, those also _of A, H. Sherwood and J, J. Brown are popped in succession. There the cars rush through a little busi- ness community which has dared to obtrude itself wnere it was once thought nothing but palauial residences would be located. Following the line the heart of Kountze place, the most beautifully built section of the kindin this part of the country, is reached and there the journey comes Lo an end. The car is loaded again as it begins its re- turn trip, and 10 twenty minutes it has reached the center of tne city and the triumph of electricity as a motive power is pronounced complets B The Newspapers of Spain, A statistical memorandum issued lately by the Spanish ministry of the interior informs us that the o are 1,161 periodicals, including newspapers, in Spain, appearing at all sorts of intervals, says the Fondos Timos. They issue a total of 1,249,131 copies, being an aver- age of 1,075 copies each. Of them 496 are political, 247 scientitic or technical and 113 religious, The remaining 515 deal with ail kindsof subjects—literary, theatrical, humorous, musical, bull fights, etc. The 496 ' poli papors and magazines issue 78 copies which would give 1 to every 23 persons of the whole population of Spain. Of these political periodicals 870, with an issue of 513,709 copies, represent mon- archical opinions; 104, with an issue of 269,888 copies, support republican views. But & more detailed classification would be all but impossible, so numerous and minute are the party divisions in Spain. Madrid publishes 827 of the whole; Bar- celona has 117, Seville 88, Cadiz and Valencia cach 82, Alicante 80, Tarra- gona and Murcia each 29, Saragossa 23, and the same number in the Balcaric Islands. the for a pale, thin N Catarrh cured, health and sweet breath secured by Shiloh’s Catarrh Remedy.

Nebraska FRAMES, 1513 Douglas & 3 < WATER IN AUSTRALIA. Discoveries of Underground Rivers in Arid Portions of the Continent. Some years ago 1 ventured to assert in these-pages, says a writer in Mac- millan’s Magazine, that the future of Australia for the next thirty years rested with the engineers. The recent discoveries of underground rivers in the most arid portions of the continent have given those words a greater signif cance. The difticulty of Australin has al been the fear that the land will not support a large population. These discoveries of water dispel that fear. It now appears that the volumes of rain which fall about once in five over the greater part of the Australian con- tinent. covering with floods the plains which for four years previously have not known more moisture than might be given in England by a good fall of dew, find their way through the porous soils into channels and chambers be- neath the surface, where, ata depth of 1,000 or 2,000 feet, they provide an in- oxhaustable store of the most precious commodity - known to the Australian 8 uatter. It is impossible to say at present how the use of these unaerground sup})lies of water may change the face of the Australian _continent. The overflow from one bore at a place called Kerri- bree has already cut a channel of sev- eral feet depth through the sand, and now forms a permanent river of several miles in length in what used to be an absolutely waterless country. It is only to be expected that asmore water is brought to the surface the clouds will take up more moisture by evaporation and the rainfall will Then, with regular rainfall and inexhaustible tanks and creeks, even the Australian squatter might begin to be contented. e Among Errors Ruinous to Hoalth, One of the most mischievous and most com- mon is the indiscriminate and too frequent use of purgatives. Such medicines, if well chosen and scasonably resorted to, are cer- tuinly uscful, but mauy persous select the worst, fly from one to the other, and employ them when there is no occasion, or their utility bas ceased. ‘Lo establish on a porma- nent basis a regular condition of the bowels, the fineat wltorative is Hostotter's Stomach Bitters.
