With pleasure we find the follow

gressional delegation in letter from
Washington City to the Kearney
Press.
The Nebraska delegation has work
ed faithfully during the present ses-
sion and have served their constitu-
ents we'll. Senator Saunders hes be-
come decidedly popular and stands as
high as any member of that august
body. Senator Paddock has also la
bored diligently. OF Frank Welch l

claim him the best representative in
the lower house Nebraska has ever
had. His time is constantly occupied
with the duties of his office, and when
your eve fails 10 catch him in the
house you may rest assured he IS
pushing them at some of the depart
ments. Col Majors has ably pressed
his right for seat, and whether he
succeeds or not his friends can rest
firm in the belief that he has made q
most gallant fight.
In the same letter we find the fol-
lowing complimentary reference TO
ex-senator Hitchcock:
Ex-senator Hitchcock is still in the
city. He is still very influential and
popular at the department.

Business for Ladies.

Our attention has been called to
new article for the use of ladies, the
invention of which has conferred an
everlasting blessing upon every lady.
We refer to the Queen City skirt sus-
penders for supporting ladies' skirts,
the most desirable and beneficial arti-
Gle aver invented for the relief of wo-
men, many of whom have suffered
years of miserable health caused sole
ly by carrying the weight of a num-
Der of heavy skirts. completely drag
ging them down. Something to sup
port ladies' clothing is absolutely nee
essary. These suspenders are recon-
mended by our leading physicians to
all ladies and young girls. Every Ia
dy should have them. They are sold

opportunity is offered to some reliable
lady canvasser OF this county to se-
cure the agency of a pleasant and
profitable business. For terms and

In g generally sensible srticie
which we publish this week from the
Bloomington Guard, in reference to
the State Fair and the Premium List,
the editor deprecstes the action OF the
managers in providing for a little
sport at the Fair We presume horse
racing and trottiug is what is alluded
10. When this question was first
sprung a few years ago we fell in with
the popular idea among newspapers,
that announcement for racing ought
70 cease at once, and the premium
money for trottiBg and running hOrs-
es be added to the more prOssic feat
ures OF corn, hogs. bulls, beef-legged
horses. But We speedily became con-
WINGED that we were in error. We be-
lieve in the horse-the runner and
trofter as cell as the strong Norman
and Percheron. The saddle horse and
Iight-draft and roadster are valuable,
useful and in demand as much as the
heavy draft horse, and if so the i'm
provement of the stock and the best
blood should be encouraged and fos-
tered. To prove these kinds OF horses
they must be tried, as to blood, bottom
and to class, on the track or the road
aud we do not see anything but pro-
priety in making these trials IN the
presence of people at State and coun'
tv faifs. Sach exhibitions of fast
horses. while they afford a source Of
attraction, sport amusement, are in
no wise immoral If regulated by judic-
fous rules. Itis possible that in the
past too much aftsntiotf has been
paid to horse speed. as compared
with other useful features of fairs
and if so let the mistake De corrected
but not ny the entire expuisian of fas
blood horses

A GOOD OPENING.

There is not, probably, q more ell
| igible town or city in Nebraska, or
the West for q good steam Touring
mill than Brownvilie. yet we have
none. This year this idea strikes one
forcibly on account of our vast acreage
of wheat, every acre of which prom
ises an uncommonly large yield. Any
one with q few thousand dollars seek
ing investment in an enterprise sure
to paw we'll should investigate this
matter. The business men OF Brown
will would no doubt tender substantial
/ inducements for a number one mill
/ in this city. All our comparative
towns and cities have mills-we have
none. AS city with ineipient pros
poets of importance-of growth and
wealth, every channel of healthy
CONNER cial intercourse with the peo-
pie should be fostered and jealousy
watched and as fast as possible new
enterprises calculated to attract trade,
and people, and capital, and fresh i'm
petus to all branches of business,
should be inaugurated and establish
ed. "Procastination is the thief of
time" our old school book said, and
how true it is that the best time to do
anything is when it ought to be done.
Brownville needs at this time more
than any other one thing a Touring
mill of capacity commensurate with
our crop productions, and now is the
time to look after ito have it. If
we are determined to be Micawbers
waiting for something to turn upon
natural advantages, ''or tightening to
strike favorably-or anything else
that will relieve US from exertion, of
going to work to help ourselves. ten
chances to one that some other place
will get what we might have had, and
! too late wediscover ourselves away be-
hind everybody else, grumbling over
bad luck.
We started out merely to write
five line item to say Brownville is
most excellent point for some enter
prising, wide-awake business man to
erect q stear, Touring mill; but our
enthusiasm over an 'idea"-one we
have always entertained that our
adopted and favorite little city may
yet be called great, has led US into an
admonitory talk to our citizens, many
of whom we know Will appreciate
and approve all we have said or may
say in advocacy Of this or any other
tangible proposition for the good of
our city and people. What we have
said about q mill may be applicable for
the building up of machinery shops,
factories, etc.
Now that an era of prosperity for
the whole country is dawning, if the
signs of the times are not deceptive
financial matters improved and set
tied, crop prospects good beyond pre-
/ cedent-the time is certainly auspic-
/ ious for our citizens to view the situs-
tion and ascertain what ought to he
done to avail themselves of a goodly
share of the benefits 10 be reaped from
period OF general prosperity, peace
and plenty,

The Falls City Record last week
announced its own demise. 1t sus-
pends for want Of sufficient support.
Mr. Stretcher made the Record a good
paper, but it ought not to have been
started-there was 10 use for it-no
demand for third paper in Falls
City; butts mission was to burst up
the other papers there, and very just
ly il burst itself. A newspaper, like
any other business, should be started
only where there is q public demand
for it and popular will ard ability to
sustain it. And when any one COM
mences the publication OF paper for
no reason but to run OUT some old
Daper, he finds himself IL the worst
paying and most thankless business
he could possibly engage in, and in its
usually speedy ingloriOus and humil-
iating death has little sympathy from
any source.

Mr.. Alfred Smith, the miller at
Aliens who makes the popular flour
that comes from that mill. some days
ago left with Us a sample sack for
trial. We have tried it and found it
TO be only a fair sample of Allen s
flour, for ail that bear that brand Is
lust as good flour as anybody ought to
want and as good as can be made from
good wheat. We speak from person
acknowledge as for some time we have
used;noue but Aliens. Mr.. Smith de-
serves the credit of saeirs a number
one miller; for IL matters not how
good and perfect the mill, machinery
and facilities for making good flour,
unless the miller is an expert aud pro-
ficient in the business, the flour will
not be excellent Besides all this Mr..
Smith has our thanks with this de-
served notice for that sack of excel
lent flour. For the good Of the CON-
munity and the peace and happiness
of families, we hopeihe will continue
TO manipulate the wheat for Allen.

BeatTicej Courier: There are
some very fine and extensive fruit
farms in Otoe, Nemaha, and Richard
son counties, aud We are assured that
the State can be fully supplied with
apples, peaches. pears and graues of
her own growing. This is really a
proud thought that we owe no State
thank you for grain and fruit. We
do not necessarily have to buy from
any State This system will eventual
ly bring untold wealth to the citizens.
Keep on setting out fruit trees where
ever you can, and pay no attention to
the croaking that Nebraska will never
be fruit State. Gage county will
raise more peaches this year than her
citizens can possibly use.

- This is striped bug time, and an

vines can be circumvented by sprinkl-

says to plant few radish seeds in the
hills with the vine seeds is a good
remedy, as the bugs will eat the
young radish tops in preference to
the cucumber or melon. We doubt
the latter statement. yet it might be
