HAS THE INTEREST DIED ourr

HAS THE INTEREST DIED OUTI
When the Burlington strike was first
inaugurated it seemed like something
happening at a distance in which the peo-
pie of this city could only feel an indirect
interest, As matters are turning out per-
haps no town on the whole Burlington
system has felt the effect of the strike
more keenly.
When the road was first extended here
about a quarter of a million dollars was
spent in purchasing property. AS the in
vestments were so heavy it was naturally
supposed that many decided improve
ments would follow the advent of the road
here. The situation and importance Of
the town were of such a character as to
warrant the belief that Cheyenne would
be made one Of the great centers of the
system. Here was the natural location
for railway shops such as the company
would need west of P~lattsmouth and here
would be the headquarters for the system
that would ramlfy through the Territory
and ultimately extend to the Pacific coast
Since the strike was precipitated the
aspect of things has been materially
changed. The contemplated extensions
of the road are temporarily abandoned,
perhaps for the season, and improvements
of the %company's city property are appar-
emily no longer thought of.
1t is a matter Of no wonder that Chey-
enne is being dropped from the compa-
ny's calculations, while every little town
adjacent to us is being doomed and the
country is rapidly settling up with a
thrifty population. A great deal of very
hard work was done to induce the Bur.
lington to extend its line to Cheyenne.
When the rails we're finally laid into
the city the occasion was one of general
congratulation. The price of property
doomed quite merrily, and for a time
nothing was thought of or spoken of but
the great good that would flow from the
arrival of the Burlington.
This sort of thing was kept up for sey-
eral weeks, and then it was dropped out
of sight as though it never existed.
Now it cannot be denied the interest or
lack of interest manifested toward Chey-
enne by the Burlington railroad must ex-
ercise a wonderful influence on the future
welfare Of the town. The people of the
city therefore owe it to themselves to
exert their influence JIM the direction of

Among the Afghans marriage is a
case of purchasing the bride. A rich
Afghan marries early, simply because he
he can afford to pay for a wife,
while a poor one often remains single
until middle life on account of his ina
bility to purchase. If the husband dies
and the widow wishes to marry again,
she or her friends have to refund the
purchase money to the friends of the
dead husband. Like the Jews, a COM

deaths from poison in Great Britain are
due to opium, and this rate of mortality,
according to DIR. Wynter Blythe, ''arises
in a great measure from the pernicious
practice, both of hard working English
mothers and the baby farmer, of giving
infants soothing syrups,' infants
friends, and the like, to allay restless
ness and keep them asleep during the
greater part of their existence" 1t has
been calculated that one preparation

Are Your Pallets Laying 2

This question is often asked at this season
by persons keeping hens; and the answer Is
too often: "No! and suppose they won't lay
until eggs get cheap next spring, just my
luck" 1t ought not to be your luck. Pull
lets Matched in April last should have com.
menced laying month ago; while May and
and June matches should be laying this
month. 1t is not too late even now, to force
the early pullets to laying in a few weeks.
The late. ones, even as late as July and Au-
gust, can be brought forward SO as to pay
well, while eggs bring good prices. Strictly
fresh. pullet eggs will probably retail
as high as so to 60 cents per dozen, in
Boston and New York markets, before March
list, 1889. Mrs. L. j. Wilson, of Northboro,
Mass, says: 'In past years 1 have noticed
when my pullets laid at all, they would lay a
litter and then, either want to set, or NOPE
around for ten days, often for weeks doing
no laying. Last fall and winter there was
no interruption of their laying. The results
were the best l ever saw in an experience of
eighteen years. My thirty pullets were all
just six months old when they commenced
laying. l never saw such return of eggs. In
just eight weeks after they commenced to lay
the thirty pullets laid 1887 eggs: which |
ascribed to the use of Sheridan's Condition
Powder, to make hens lay" The new and
enlarged edition of the Farmers Poultry

above subject. J. S. johnson & Co.. % Gus.

The " Jackson Ball"

A local confectioner was asked the
other day by Brooklyn Citizen man if
that hard, spherical brand of CONNECTION
known as the jackson ball" was still
in the market. He replied that it was,
but that it had very little sale now in
the larger cities. Wholesale confec-
TONERS here manufactured Jackson balls
in large q antilles and shipped them in
barrels through the West and North
west. Any one whose school days ended
ten years ago or more will recall with
vivid pleasure, the Jackson ball, a
species of abnormal lemon drop marked
with striped parallels of latitude, and
convenient to be slyly inserted in the
mouth at the opening of morning ses-
sion, gradually to dissolve its sweetness
until the noon hour The school chill
dren of to-day may boast of superior
advantages in the way of the text books,
tatfy, tolu, slate cleaners, prize packages,
straps, ETC., but the pupil of a decade
ago can shake his head knowingly and
reply: ''Ah, but you have not the
Jackson ball, while the reeking salivary
glands respond even to the thought of
the sweet and finty spheres, whose
essence once tickled his palate through
the then tedious school heurs''

How Sheridan's Life Was Once Saved

According to Colonel Archer Mason,
of San Francisco, Cal, General Sheridan
once had his life saved in an odd way.
Colonel Mason's regiment was once Civ
ing the General re option at the Cali
fernia Theatre. Sheridan was standing
in the wings, peeping out beside the
curtain at the audience, when he sud-
denly pointed to one of the musicians,
and asked Mason:
''Isn't that man named Blythe"
On being told that he was, he asked to
have him brought up on the stage at
once. After a cordial greeting, which
almost wrung the musicians hand OF,
Sheridan said:

Blyth, for he saved my life for me once

BOnner's Eccentric Advertisement

Robert Bonner, says the Pawtucket
Of. l. J Xecor3, in the early days of his
struggle for fortune, began a system of
advertising that has since become COM
mon. but at that time created quite a
sensation. Single columns, then half
pages, then an entire page. and then all
the space that leading newspapers would
allow him appeared with an apparent
reckless disregard as to cost, economy
and common sense Sometimes his adj
vertisements would be made up of the
opening chapter of a new story, some
times a single line would be repeated
until column or a page had been
filed. The first advertisement Of the
latter description appeared in the New
York Herald, following refusal of the
elder Bennett to give the advertiser the
display he wanted. After few adj
vertis ements of this kind appeared,
Bennett again protested. "What do
you want nOw?" asked Bonner. "NOt
so much display replied the sagacious
publisher. Every WELL" was the answer,
and the next day the HeralR appeared
with one sentence commencing the new
story repeated and run in, > profession
ally speaking, with no blank lines, form

far the most conspicuous advertisement

A telegram from Mrs. Eliza
George, living ten miles from this
city, to Chief of Detectives Yankee
Bhgh this morning, developed most
remarkable romance. The telegram
ordered Bligh to arrest, at all haz-
ards, Madeline George, sixteen years
OF age, who had eloped with Robert
Stephens, jr., a neighbor, eighteen
years old. The young couple were
arrested in Justices office where
they had gone to be married. The
boy said he and Madeline were des-
perately in love with each other.
Six hours later Mrs. Eliza Georke
came to town with her face flushed
with excitement. Twenty years ago,
the woman said, her father died,
leaving her his farm and several
thousand dollars on condition that
she never marry. Before and after
the old mans death, Eliza had been
assiduously courted by Henry Steph-
ems. The young woman loved him,
but under the provisions of her faith
er's will, could not marry. At last

and Miss George were married I'M

For three years they lived togeth-
er secretly, two children being born
to them. They then separated, Mrs.
Stephens taking her maiden name
and the younger child. She return
ed to her country home, while Steph-
ems took the eldest child, whose
name was Henry. Some years later
Stephens gave up his business in
Louisville and moved ia the country,
buying farm adjoining that Of Mrs.
George. The children grew up to-
