An exchange, apologizing to thewomen, says: "Ladies should bearin mind that the word 'man,' usedin a broad sense, means 'woman,'too." It is barely possible thatladies will not care to have thesex mixed in that way. Men andwomen differ in many things, andit something to be thankful for thatit is so. It is as easy to say menand women when women,, are in-

cluded as to say "man" and meanthe race.

The number of burglars shot inthe act of burglary is very small.But the list of the innocent victimsof hasty shooting at supposed housebreakers is assuming alarming pro-portions. Firing in the dark isrisky business, and it is time to calla halt in this random target prac-tice. Better allow a hundred burg-lars to escape' than to kill an inno-cent wife or mother.

Give Them a Chance.That is to say, your lungs. Also all your

breathing machinery. Very wonderful machin-ery it is. Not only the larger butthe thousands of little tubes and cavities leadingfrom them. When these aro clogged and chokedwith matter which ought not to bo there, yourlongs cannot half do their work. And what theydo they cannot do well.

Call it cold, cough, cronp, pneumonia, catarrh,consumption or any of tho family of throat andnose and head and long obstructions, all aro bad.All onght to be got rid of. There is just one sureway to get rid of them. That is to take Bos--choe's German Syrup, which any druggist willsell yon at 75 cents a bottle. Even if everythingelso has failed you, you may depend npon thisfor certain.

There are 519 tons of gold and7,396 tons of silver stored up in thetreasury vaults at Washington. Aprocession of teams hauling thisbullion in carts, allowing a horsefor every ton, would be twenty-thre-e

miles long according to the NewYork Tribune's mathematician.The same authority finds that thegovernment has been paying offthe public debt during the twenty-two-yea- rs

past at the rate of $120.47per minute. That is about as fastas the paying- - teller could count itout.

You must not forget that the firstcrop of soldier boys after the oldboys came home froni the front andmarried the, girls that waitedior-them-,

STARTLING BUT TRUE.Wills Point, Texas, Dec. 1, 1885.

After suffering for more than threeyears with disease of the throat and lungs,1 got so low last spring 1 was entirely un-able to do anything, and my cough was sobad I scarcely slept any at night Mydruggist, Mr. H.

Blaine has left Ireland, and goneto the continent. Whoever-- heardof anything so scandalous? Hehas doubtless gone to Rome, to bar-gain with the pope for the Catholicvote of the United States. IfBlaine had the slightest regard forthe properties of life, he would havehimself locked up in the Tower ofLondon, and remain there duringall his stay in Europe.

Under the allotment bill theIndians who take advantage of itsprovisions become citizens of theUnited States and endowed with allthe rights and privileges of such.Some of the county seat workers inKnox county became anxious toknow if tli ft Sp.ntees would beallowed to vote on that questionsand to settle the matter telegraphedthe acting commissioner of Indianaffairs, who replied that the Indianswould certainly be allowed if theyso desired, to vote on any and allquestions. So the condition of theIndians is becoming more and morein accordance with the principles ofright and of a higher christiancivilization.

Piles.Piles are frequently preceded by a

sense of weight in the back, loins andlower part of the abdomen, causing thepatient to suppose he has some affectionof the kidneys or neighboring organs. Attimes, symptoms of indigestion arepresent, flatulency, uneasiness of thestomach, etc. A moisture like perspira-tion, producing a very disagreeableitching, after getting warm, is a commonattendant Blind, bleeding and itchingpiles yield at once to the application ofDr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which actsdirectly upon the parts affected, absorbingthe tumors allaying tho intense itching,and affecting a permanent cure.

Col. J. Pierce thinks he can dem-

onstrate that pneumatic tubes canbe useifricross the Atlantic connecting the two continents. He tninksit possible to fire a train throughone of these tubes at the rate of1,000 miles per hour, using an, aircurrent as the motive power. Thespeed is to be so great that, owingto the circular motion of the earth,the pressure will be upward insteadof downward. The interior of thetubes and exterior of the cars is tobe of polished steel.

Some friends of Mrs. WinfieldScott Hancock, who now live inWashington, are urging her ap-

pointment as postmastress of thatcity. The movement was begunentirely without the knowledge ofMrs. Hancock, and it is probablethat she does not care for the office.General Hancock died poor, but afund of 50,000 was raised for hiswidow soon after his death, and shedraws a 3,000 pension.

AN EPIDEMIC.

A Violent Form, of Cholera Morbus at Belknap,Iowa, Prostrates the Whole Community.

A Plain Statement of Facts by a Leading Mer-

chant of the Town.Last summer wo had an epidemic in this com-

munity in tho form of cholera morbns. Nearlyevery man. woman and child was prostrated byit. and it seemed to bo a very violent form. Wo

tried every medicine we could find without relief.I then went to Ottnmwa and Blake. Brnco & Co.,wholesald druggists, advised me to take homoChamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem-

edy. I done so and distributed it, and it gavorelief immediately; it worked like magic. I or-

dered more of the remedy at once, and sold itdaring the day at my storo and at night at myhome. I sold as much daring tho night as I diddaring tho day. Tho people hero cannot sayenough in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Choleraand Diarrhoea Remedy.

Henry Watterson says: "I wouldrather be editor than hold an officein the gift of the people. I hadthat qnestion to settle, and didsettle it finally. It cost me no pangto settle it on the side of my pro-fession. I do not mean to exalt theprofession of journalism above allothers, but I do pretend to sav thataside from the good old rule that ashoemaker should stick to nis last,a journalist is nowhere so much outof Blace as when1 directing the mechanism pi political -- movement.No man can manage politics andjournalism and remain an honestman. He must, as a politician,sacrifice the truth, or as journalistcare nothing tor the truth. Thereis only one thing the journalistshould strive after, and that is totell the truth in advance of any oneelse." Here is food for reflectionfor the average Nebraska journalist.

The gain in the exports of American breadstuffs is very eneouragingjust now, when the merchandiseoalance of trade is in our favor bysuch an uncomfortable close marginas it was in the fiscal 3'ear whichended about seven weeks ago. Inthe past seven months three exportsof these commodities amounted toabout 100,000,000, as comparedwith $81,000,000 in the corresponding period or the calendar year1886. This increase is all the moregratifying for Americans, becauseof the fact that it is coupled with afalling off in wheat exports fromIndia. That country just at thismoment is not such a formidablecompetitor of the United States asit was last year:
