Keep Moving Ahead.

The man, town, city or community
that, in this age, halts and waits for
something to turn up, will most as
suredly get left! The present only is
ours. and it is question of success on
the one hand, or misfortune and ruin
on the other, This fact is strikingly ex-
emplil ed by individuals, firms or COM
panies in our city. The errand boy in
an office has become the proprietor of
one of the most popular, enterprising
and successful newspapers in the lead
ing city; the clerk in a clothing house
with hardly five dollar bill in his
pocket, becomes the head of the largest
merchandising concern in America, or
any other country; the young student
in materia medica, who compounded
medicines in accordance with his own
sense, knowledge and belief, as sure
remedies for certain diseases, and tried
to sell them to druggist; and when
failing in that, begged him to take the
medicine, and, if suitable opportunity
presented itself to sell or to give them
away, at last succeeded in introducing
his remedies to the world, and was re-
warded by a fortune. 1t has been said
that by the slow process of generations
mankind has come to learn that our
position in nature is dependent upon
ourselves, can we obtain control over
he condition in which we are placed.
The ingenuity of the inventor has kept
pace with new processes to meet the
demands and increasing necessity for
economy of time in the greater activity
of industrial life. Our manufactures
must not stand still; greater ones are
yet to be overcome. Let the merchant
the mechanic, the student, the laborer
in any righteous and laudable under
taking, move on, and keep moving on,
and he will find success nearer than he
hoped. clippings.

wish to say few words about the
country and its productions. In this
part of the state the land is billy and
in many cases very sandy, the soil
being somewhat like that south of the
Falls.
Wheat raising is not profitable in
this section of the state as the soil is
too light and long drouths are quite
prevalent. 1t has not rained about
here for over five weeks and there is
scarcely any dew, the nights being
very warm.
Stock raising is quite an industry in
many OF the counties about this place.
1t would pay well but for the high
rates of transportation. Most of the
railroads have monopoly in this state
and both freight and passenger rates
are very high.
The people IN this part of the state
are largely Bohemians and Poles, and
exhibit many of the peculiar traits of
their native land. They are not very
progressive, use liquor in large guam
titles, care little about education, or,
general improvements of any kind
The few Americans that are left here
are principally business men.
There are many places about here
that are called sand-hills. They are
quite a curiosity and look much like a
large field of drifted snow. The hills
rise from five to twenty or more feet,
and in most cases contain thousands
Of acres of land. In the hills there
are cuts which the people call cauons,
and on windy days the SAND drifts like
snow about the canons.
1t has been very hot for the past
week, the mercury indicating from
100 to lI00 in the shade.
Crops have suffered greatly during
the hot and dry spells. l do not think
wheat or oats will yield over a half
crop and the quality will be very poor.
Corn is beginning to look yellow and
fears are entertained that there will
be but very small crop.
There is no natural scenery of any
note In this section. The only thing
that breaks the monotony of ride
over the prairie or the sand-hills is the
jack rabbit, a peculiar animal, with
very prominent ears. He has pecu-
liar gait and generally keeps beyond
reach of shot. In many places among
the hills there are prairie dog towns.
My best wishes to all readers of the
JOURNAL.
Yours truly,

It is not urged that all farmers wives
are drudges. Many of them perform no
more work than is essential to vigorous
health. But thousands and tens of
thousands of them are worked into
their graves. These are the women
who build the fires, cook meals three
times day for force of men, feed
and milk the cows, do the washing and
ironing for dozen persons, make the
butter and cheese, do marketing put
ND the fruits, cultivate the kitchen gar
den-the women who commence thei
round of toll by starlight in the morn
ing, an hour or more before the
stronger men are out of bed, and end
it about midnight, hours after the
same strong men 60 to bed to sleep.
The farmer, working hard himself,
and hearing but few complaints
from his toiling wife-doing his
work and seeing that hers is done
asks no questions, and no doubt feels
that while his wife can get through
with her work it would be a useless
expenditure of means to hire a servant
to help her. When at the age of forty,
from hard work and collaborating she
takes on the appearance OF a woman
of sixty, heicOncludes that she ''didn't
have a strong constitution and that
she would have Jared better had she
been the wife of carpenter or shoe
maker. We repeat that the slavery
to which we allude is not the lot Of
all farmers wives. Many farmers
are as considerable for the health of
their wives as they are for their own
health; but the fact is not undeniable,
nevertheless, that, as a class, the
wives of farmers are oyer-worked.

tured with reference to the two
Georgia reyiyalists. Sam Jones, plea
in favor of the use of tobacco, after
his Chicago utterance last winter that
no man could be IA gentleman and use
tobacco cooled off the ardor of some
for him.
On the ID inst, we had the pleasure
of meeting Mr.. Thos. J. Nc Andrew

About two years ago the cry was raised
by many that Prohibition had been
set back twenty years by reason of
the firm stand taken by its advocates.
Would that it might have another
just such a backset and in ten years
Prohibition would be an established
fact all over this free liberty-loying
country.
On the eth inst.the State Prohibition
Convention of Minnesota convened
here and nominated full state ticket
which is as follows:

There were Dds delegates present at
this convention, 50 the readers of the
JOURNAL see that nominations were
not made by few wire pullers as is
too often the case on such occasions.
In the evening mass meeting was
held, and well attended in Market
Hall, the addresses were by represen-
tative men such as DR.. A. b. Leonard,
late nominee for governor of Ohio on
the Prohibition ticket, Rev. Pinkham,
OF Minneapolis, and others.
Being this early in the field the
work in this state will make an unusu-
al advance this season, and its friends
are ent husiastic as to the final out

the elevation mankind. We are sorry
that we have neither the time or space
