a Woman's Discovery.

"Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by lady in
this county. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven
years she wIthstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were un-
dermined and death seemed immi-
nent. For three months she coughed
necessarily and could not sleep. She
bought of US bottle Of DR.. Kings
New Discovery for consumption and
was so much relieved on taking the
first dose that she slept all night and
with one bottle has been miraculous
ly cured. Her name is Mrs, Luther

The news which excited greatest
interest among Democratic leaders a
few days ago was the action of about
one thousand Irish-Americans, who
were ardent supporters of Mr..
Blaine in 1884, but who have now
come out for Cleveland. Four years
ago they supported Blaine because
they thought he was better friend
of Ireland than his opponent.

One of the four men that managed
the capture of Jeff Davis at the close
of the war was in Chicago
few days ago chatting with
his Grand Army brethern, on his
way TO Columbus, Ohio. 1t was
Capt. J. A. 0. Yeuman, who resides
IN Fort Dodge, Iowa, and who has
been prominent in Grand Army work
in that state. He is Democrat and
will probably be nominated for con-
gress while he is at the encampment.

the Mississippi, except, perhaps, the
Eads jetties, is located dt and about
Keokuk, Iowa. 1t is great canal,
over seven and half miles in
length, varying from 300 to COO
feet in width, and of depth suffi
cient to float the largest river steam
ers. Ten years were consumed IN
its construction, at an expense OF

around numerous chsins of rocks
which obstruct the Mississippi at
that point, called the Des MONIES

People of Omaha who are anxious for
details OF the marriage of the young Chinese
emperor will have to wait until the Chinese
new year which will arrive on the 25th day
of February. As every Chinaman spends
oil his available funds at his wedding the
nuptials of the young emperor were to have
been exceedingly gorgeous, and an outlay OF
twenty millions dollars was contemplated
But the bursting of the Yang tse Kiang from
its boundaries depleted the treasury consid-
erably, and the cost was pared down TO tf- ,
teen millions. And now that the great
island of Formosa is in revolt it is probable
that there will be still further retrench-
ment. The Princess Kang Sing who is the
future empress is probably not so vexod
about the matter as an American girl would
be under the same circumstances, for Chi
nese wives do not consider their lot to be a
happy one. tormosa has been quiet for
a hundred years for the last rebellion was in

GET TO WORK ON THE CHARTER

Committees have been appointed by
the city council and board of trade to
prepare amendments to our charter.
These committees, for the present, at
least, are acting separately. Their rec
concentrations may clash in many very
essential particulars. Less than four
weeks remain for them to complete
their work, and the chances are, ten to
one, that by the time the legislature
convenes the delegation will find itself
loaded down with all sorts of recon-
mendations, on which they will be as
much divided as the committee. And
then we shall have another huggermug-
ger for a charter, with incidental con-
troversies that will retard its passage.
In fact, if any radical reform is
proposed that touches corporations and
syndicates on a tender spot, we are
graceful conflict Of two years ago. This
ought to, If possible, be avoided.
The charter committees and members
Of the delegation should get together
as soon as possible, talk over every
change proposed, and harmonic differ
ences before the legislature convenes.
Unless this is done, Omaha will again
be the butt of jobbers and legislative
mountebanks, who always take advan-
tage Of such squabbles and make noun
tains out OF molehills. While the
Omaha charter affects nobody outside
of this corporation, aud Omaha pays
one-tenth OF the state taxes, and re-
ceives in return less than one per cent
OF the appropriations, she is obliged to
tussle and wrestle over her charter as
if the state was contributing millions
toward her institutions

NEWS COMMENT.

They are short of coal in Butte City and
Helena, in western Montana, for reasons
which have not yet been satisfactorily eX-
planned, but which possibly are connected
with the desire of the Union Pacific to make
money by sending coal from Rock Springs
and Evanston to San Francisco during the
recent coal famine. And in addition to this
there is in Butte City want of wood for the
local sources of supply have been exhausted.
Two of the mines may have to suspend for
want of fuel, and the Montana Central rail
road is beng petitoned daily to bring wood
from other quarters, until coal comes. Moth
ing can better illustrate the paramount ne
cessity of not allowing railroad which Is
common carrier to enter into other business
and the sooner this is made law the better,
not only for Montana but for the whole of
the United States. There is such a law in
Pennsylvania, but what is wanted is q
United States law.
Australian merchants have been buying
wheat in San Francisco. What is thecause
Of this marvellous occurrcnce' Is it drouth
or is 1t rabbits!
All the territories of the northwest are in
line waiting for the gift of statehood from
their big sister Columbia except Idaho. 1t
seems that the people of the northern section
object to bearing their share of a burden
which they claim will only benefit the south
ern portion of the territory. Very good.
Idaho can go and sit IN the corner with her
face to the wall until she has composed her
feelings. Columbia will attend to her case
in good time.
DR.. Williams of Toronto. the Canadian
who was in Africa with Stanley is convinced
that he is dead, IN spite Of the recent authen-
tic news of him at the head waters Of the
Niger. He believes that Stanley was more
desirous of making fresh discoveries than of
rescuing Emin Bcy, and that he struck out
from the direct path with that object, and
was massacred through the treachery of
some of his own men, furnished by Tippu
Tlb, who led him into an ambush.
