The Nebraska legislature has
agreed to submit a constitutional
amendment to the people of that
state providing either for q high
liquor license or for a total prohibit
ton. The high license clause of the
proposed amendment will no doubt
carry if the people really desire to
control the liquor traffic of the state.
High license does control, but prohi.
ton neither controls nor prohibits

In the line of elaborate catalogues,
but here comes vick's Floral Guide
for 1889, from Rochester, N. Y, bet
ter than all previous Issues. "Better"
hardly expresses it-rather, we should
say, far superior. 1t has been chang
ed in every respect; new cuts. new
type, enlarged in size (opening like
an old fashioned singing-book); con-
tains three elegant Autographs (sx-
l04 inches) of Roses, Geraniums,
Melon and Tomato; besides very
fine plste of the late James Wick anu
his three sons Who now own and
manage this large business. These
features must make the Floral Guide
valuable to their many thousands of
customers in this country.
We also notice that Wick returns
to the plan started by the founder of
the business years ago, of offering
cash prizes at the State Fair. One
would think they we're little out of
their heads to offer to the public such
a work as the Guide free, for that Is
what 1t amounts to, when they say it
will be sent on receipt of fifteen
cents. and that certificate good for
fifteen cents worth of seeds will be
returned with the Guide.

Both ladies were enthusiastically encored. Mrs. Whitney then escorted Miss Bradley and her chaperon to the Vermont House, where both ladies gave another musicale for the guests of | the latter house.

Question .and "The Heart Bowed Down." from the Bohemian | Girl. Mrs. Whitney pronounced Miss Brad ley's voice remarkable for sweetness and ex- ecution.
