When Luke had told his story to Captain Smart the latter said
 If it's yer intention to fight fur tho Union, ye needn't go any further fur want three moro mon here TOW, and I'll en- roll he and sw ar ye right n, ? It was Il sudden change, but sudden changes were comnon, and in q few min utcs Luke Mason was enlisted as a recruit An old hite-haiged man, dressed half in bucl1skin and half jeans, came to him and invited him to his mess, as they just lacked one more. The cid fellow vas known as Arkansaw Tom was brave as a lion, with q heart tender as a Womau's. Luke found this beginning of soldier life far from agreeable. The coffee was black, the meat burnt and the bread hard and dry The ncwly-made soldiers were lying about upon the grass, some aIready complaining of the hardships and others narraung re- markabe adventures, of which tho narrator was always the hero.
 Captain Smart was n man of pluck and common sense, which in a measure made amends for his lack of military skill He had United States drill book and Hardccs tactics, over which he had been pouring every idle moment for three days. Immedi- atey after breakfast he brought his com pany upon 2 green spot, devoid of trees, to instruct them III the manual of arms
 After an hour spont in these exercises they gathered up all camp equipage and took up their line of march, intending to go to Lexington.
 People came to their doors to see them, | and as they went by they thought they must be great army. About the middle of tho afternoon they reached S1TrFt small lIonn of half n dozen houses, one store, a blacksmith shop and post-ofice to give it the appearance of ! 2 village The houses were scattered over the crest of a hill. In q woods pasture north of them, 10 the left of the road, Gap tain Smart said they would cncamp to await the arrival of other companies of re- | crults.
 | About fifty men who had come the night l before were already cncampCd among the | trees which covered tho hillside, and dur | ing the day hundred more came in. The | supcrabundarce of commissioned officers, or 1 men who would be commissioned officers if | the Governor would sIgn their commis sions, gave no little trouble about Who | should rank the others. Bat after much | parleying, the honor of command was con | fcrred on Captain Smart The men were under very slight restraint, and the enforcement of military discipline 1 was almost impossible.
 I4uke's acquaintance, Arkansaw Tom,
 seemed to take considerable interest in the
 new recruit.
 Don't spect sojer life II agree with yc at
 fust," Tom said
 No, don't think it will, but hope to get accustomed to it," Luke answered

Facts for Poultry Raisers.

Daily outdoor exercise or free range is the best advice we can give those who want fertile eggs and strong chickens. The past winter has been favorable for all kinds of poultry; the fowls have been out on the bare ground every week. The non-hatching of eggs will not be as common a com paiut as last spring. Hens that lay early usually set early; some hens are often broody after laying fewer eggs than others We could never succeed in making our hens sit until they were inclined to do so. Some of them will sit standing if removed from their ac- customed seat. Last month we had a bullet that was laying on an exhibition coop in the hen-house. Becoming broody. she would not set where

- Stricken With Apoplexy.

An aged gentleman of our acquaintance went out after a hearty meal to remove the ice from the sidewalk He worked as an old man naturally would with his head and shoulders bent low. He suddenly fell, be came unconscious and soon died.
 What was the cause of his death2
 Apoplexy the physician would say apo plexy of the brain.
 In persons of good health, the coats of the arteries throughout the entire body arr tough and elastic. In unhealthy persons particularly those whose kidneys are dis eased, the walls of the arteries undcrgC "dcgencration''- to the action of thl impurities in the blood which th, kidneys have been unable to remove.
 In these cases, when the action of the heart Is intensified by vigorous exercise or excitement, the pressure upon some artery becomes too strong for 1t in Its weakened state a rupture occurs and { stroke of apopIexy follows as a matter O. course.
 Derangemcnts of the kidneys are a com mon cause of apOpleXy
 Whenever they fail ln the complete re moval of the waste matter in the blood, tht deadly poison known as uric acid ac cumuates, and crocps through all tho blood channels where it rapidly causes de cay.
 The primary cause of all organic disea & such as paralysis, consumption, heart dis ease and nervous disorders, is directly at tributable to failure of tho kidneys II their special function of purifying th' blood. Kidney derangement IS wthou doubt the most aggravating as well as the most prevalent of all ills of the present day and unless kidney disease is taken in tim and prompt restorative, such as Warner Safe Cure, appied-death will inevitabl, result.
 Advanced kidney disease has baflled tn united efforts of the best physicians fo years and it is solely due to Warmers Saf Cure, a simple vegetable discovery, tha modern science has been able to success fully cope with it.
 Life insurance companies make sure Q it's non-existcnce before issuing their poll cies and the learned and careful physician will not attempt to prescribe for patien afflicted with serious illness before frs ascertaning if this disease is present.

THE BREACH MADE.

All doubt regarding the course OF tho
Chicago x Alton road in tho matter OF
reducing lumber rates between Chicago
and the Missouri river, has been re-
moved by the letter of the general man
ager to the chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Railway association, an
nouncing that reduced rate will be
made June IA. 1T will be remembered
that this company applied to the Inter
State Commerce Railway association
for the privilege of making rate of ten
cents a hundred, which the association
refused to allow, presenting very
cogcnt reasons for the refusal.
Among these it was said that to
permit the reduced rate to bo
made would very likely result in bring
ing on a rate war. The general man
ager Of the Chicago & Alton intimated
at the time that the company would
probably make lower rate anyhow, but
the delay in doing so suggested that a
different decision had been reached.

The Omaha Guards Con cert.

The second concert given by the Omaha

by flushed musicians.
This is the FIRST of "A series of Sunday en-

WAITING ON THE UNITED STATES.

WAITING ON THE UNITED STATES.
1t appears that all that is now neces-
sary to close the Samoan negotiations
is an order from Secretary Blaine to
the American commissioners to sign.
There were some verbal changes which
he desired made, and his request for
these changes were promptly acceded
to. 1t is not understood what further
reasons there are for delay, but at any
rate the administration has done wisely
in giving the terms agreed upon by tn 9
commissioners careful and deliberate
consideration. There is no de-
mand for haste, while there is
very great necessity that the agree
ment shall be SO. clear and deti-
mite in its every provision that there
will be no difficulty in its interpreta-
tion and no loophole left for future con-
troversy. 1t should effect settlement
that will insure the perpetual freedom
OF the Samoans from all danger of hav-
ing their home affairs dominated by
either OF the powers making the treaty,
while securing equality of rights and
privileges to such powers.
This is the fair and just policy which
the United States has contended for in
the Samoan controversy, and which it
is bound to see fully carried out. Tn g
little difficulty which the representa-
tives of this country at Berlin found in
enforcing the demands of tho gov
ernmeut evidences conclusively the
soundness and the Justice OF its position,
and the indefensible character of Ger
many's attitude. Whatever further
conditions Secretary Blaine may re-
quire. il any, will undoubtedly be only
such as are consistent with the declared
policy of this country and essential to
its success. A conclusion Of the con-
ference is expected to he reached this
week, when the terms OF the agreement
will doubtless be made public.

secured 10000 acres of oil lands in the Salt
creek district, in the southern border of this
(Johnson) county. In an interview to-day
Mr.. Hawley expressed himself as confident
that the most sauguine expectations of the
oil men who are interested in this section
will be realized, and that the oil excitement
here will equal the furore created by the dis
coyery Of the great petroleum fields of Penn
sylvania. Mr.. Hawley and party will re-
turn to the oil basin tomorrow, and expect
to be here the 1st OF August with Il company
of seventy prominent eastern capitalists.

THE efforts of the democratic organs
to create an impression that the rela-
tious between Harrison and Blaine are
strained have not been even moderately
successful, yet they do not tire of the
improbable task. The Washington
correspondents of these journals return
to it at brief intervals, manufacturing
the most obviously absurd stories OF dis
agreements and of studied efforts on the
part of the president to annoy Mr..
Blaine. The idea sought to be conveyed
is that President Harrises loses no OPP
portunity to intimate to the secretary
of state by his action that he is the
president, and that Mr.. Blaine finds
this very irritating, while he also frets
under disappointment in not having
to control all the appointments in his
department. Not only do these stories
totally misrepresent the character OF
both the president and Mr.. Blaine, but
they have repeatedly been shown to be
groundless. Every circumstance goes
to show that there has been the most
agreeable and satisfactory understand
ing between the president and the sec
retary of state, as there has between the
executive and all the members of the
cabinet. What it is hoped to accom-
pllsh by setting aaoat such misst ate
ments can not easily De onceived, par
ticulariy when their falsity can be so
readily and effectively established.

How New York state is Governed.

The obvious lesson for the Empire state is
that it will have to choose between govern
ment by the liquor saloons and government
by the people, 1t is well that the issue has
been made defnito at last. Votes for dem
ocratic ticket mean government by the liquor
saloons. Votes for the prohibition ticket
moan the same thing exactly. Whether the
Empire state will hereafter merit anything
better than Governor Hill and his vetoes
will depend upon the votes which the people
may hereafter cast. AT present. it Is state
governed by its grog shops.

was South Dakota and the lakes. To
eastern Nebraska and Iowa the rain
was particularly beneficial, owing to
the light snowfall OF winter and the
scarcity Of spring rains. The unusual
precipitation will go far toward restor-
ing the flow of springs and wells in the

with short sensible talks to the prisoners,
suitable to the occasions. These services
were enlivened by solos by Miss Ethel Howe
and recitations by Miss Almena Parker.
