China Growing Uneasy.

We learn from Pekin that there ia a
feeling there of great uneasiness as to the
stability of things in China. The Young
emperor and empress are believed to be
nnluoky, as there has been nothi, 70
u disaster since their accession
there is no loyalty in China, in our sense
o. me word. Apa there are great fears that
troubles va arise from tie general dis.
!sess inevitable in this coming winter, and
!. mere Tfers any man in eminence who
saw aD.y advantage to be gained from rais-
Lag .tebellion it would go hard with the
pre- cent dynasty.
The misfortunes that have happened
Since the present emperor's accession have
revived the discomfort that was felt at the
%1rregularity Of his succession, which found
Its expression at the time, as will be re-
membered, in the suicide of one of the cen.
sors. We would earnestly impress upon
b naval authorities that no treaty port of
this empire ought to be left without q man
of-war this winter.
There is no special antipathy to foreign
ers, but their safety may easily be involved
III some tumult that may arise from causes
entirely ~unconnected with their presence

Tricked Into Matrimony,

Schuyler is enjoying a unique sensation.
The cause Of it happened last week, but
has just come to light. County Judge
Thomas was called to the residence of o
Mr.. Poole, whose daughter Nellie was to
marry a Mr.. Peterson. When he reached
the house George Poole, a brother to the
bride-elect, told the Judge privately that
Miss Belle Woods and himself were to be
welded after the marriage of his sister and
Mr.. Peterson. George suggested they per-
petrate a little practical joke on the guests
by reversing the order Of the ceremonies.
The judge agreed. The guests in the
meantime, who had been told that George
and Miss Woods were to act as best man
and bridesmaid respectively for the othe,
couple, were greatly surprised when they
came out as star actors in the matrimonial
drama. The judge asked and received
proper answers to the usual questions and
pronounced Miss Woods and Mr.. Poole
man and wife. The other marriage cere-
mony quickly followed and then came
the real sensation of the evening. Miss
Woods, upon being told that she was the
lawful wife Of Mr.. Poole, declared indie-
nantly that she was not; that she had
gone through the performance with Judge
Thomas on the supposition that
this was necessary to the proper perform
ance of her duties as bridesmaid and that
she had not become and would never be
the wife OF George Poole. She stoutly re-
fused to accompany her husband home and
still remains under the parental roof. Miss
Woods is very handsome. Her father is
very indignant over the affair, and says he
will take steps to have the marriage or.
nulled. Poole had been going with Miss
Woods for two or three years,

In her high country wagon sitting,
While the good smith with friendly haste
Her horses clumsy shoe is fitting.

his hammer blows ringout with shriilnsss
Into the August afternoon,
STEPPED in its dreamy twilight stiffness.
With an anxious eye she watches him,
Her busy thoughts are homeward straying
Shadows grow long DER field and road,
And weary farmers leave their haying.
High In the elm tree DER the way.
On sunlight boughs the birds are singing
Their cradle songs above their nests,
Within the whispering sweetness swinging.
She knows at home the patient COWS
Stand lowing at the bars to greet her,
And anxious goodman scans the road
And sends the children out to meet her.
She knows the supper fire is lit,
The hearth swept clean, the kettle singing,
The kitchen table cleared to hold
The things from town that she is bringing.
And smiles In honest, rustic pride,
At shrewd, hard bargains she's been making

Poor Humanity!

The common lot is one of sorrow say-at lenst
1.-The p%essimists, they who look at the worst
side. Certainly what would otherwise be q
bright existence, is often Swallowed by some ALL
ment that overhangs it like q pail, obscuring
perpetually the radiance that else would light
the peth. Such al ailment, and a very common
one, is nervousness, or in other words weakness
of III, nervous system, a condition only irremo-
diable where inefficient or improper means are
taken to relieve it. The concurrent experience
of nervous people who have persistently used
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is. that it conquers
entirely supersensitiyeness of the nerves, as
well as diseases-so c~alled-which are invited
and sustained by their chronic Weakness. AS
the norves gain stamina from the great tonic
the trouble disappears. Use the Bitters for
ma aria, rheumatism, biliousness and kidney

AGRICULTURAL POINTS
THE DECEMBER REPORT ,r rHE mn.
fARTMENT SUMMARIZED.

A Cuban Arrested for Embexxlement-A
Nebraska Wedding Sensation - Other
News Of ali Sorts.
The December report Of the department
OF agriculture contains q detailed state
ment Of the estimates OF the principal
cereals by states, including area, product
and values. The reported area Of corn is
1s,3l9,65i acres, which represents an in.
crease Of ~ per cent. over the average Of
1883. The wheat acreage Of SO, 123. $50
acres, shows it to be Q ITO per cent. great
or than the aggregate for 1883. A revision
Of the acreage find a smaller area in Iowa,
Nebraska, Oregon and Washington and
. larger breadth in Kansas and Dakota.
The dairying and meat production have
for years been encroaching on wheat
growing on the eastern side of the great
spring wheat belt, as the small yield of
wheat in Kansas, Illinois and other
states, occurring from year to year, is the
result Of variable meteorological conditions.
The acreage of oats is placed at q, 462, $40
acres, an increase of less than 2 per cent.
The yield per acre of corn is very nearly 81
bushels, or one-tenth bushel less than the
product of 1879, and is the largest rate of
yield since 1880. The product, as estimated,
is 2,112, 1902, QUO bushels. The largest yields
are west of the Mississippi, Iowa taking
the first rank in the aggregate produced and
the yield per acre. Wheat is nearly 1919
bushels. or one-tenth Of a bushel greater
than the November average Of yield per
acre. The variation from the current ex-
pectation Of the last six months is not over
l per cent. The total product as estimated
is 49o,560,C00 bushels. The product of
oats is Isl, 515, 900 bushels, at the rate Of
27.4 bushels per acre. The aggregate of
all cereals is about $3.50, 900, 900 bushels,
OF at least IS bushels per capita.

Many Tomatoes.

The twelfth annual estimate Of the to-
mato packing Of the United States during
the season Of 1889 made BY the American
Grocer results in q total OF 1876 65 cases
OF two dozen q each, q shortage as con1-
pared with the season Of 1888 Of 366,372
cases, or . reduction of nearly IL per cent.
The deficiency is attributed to the unusual

Had it not been for an extension Of the in
dustry and a good season In the western
and southwestern states and on the Pa
cific coast the supply would have been I'M
usually light. The west and southwest to-
gether can now, in q fair season, be safely
counted upon to furnish one-third of the
total supply.
