A DEMAND FOR REDUcED RATES IN NEBRASKA.
A manifesto signed by B. E. Thayer
and twenty others, farmers and members
of the farme1s' alliance at Benedict, York
county, was re ceived by the state board of
transportation. 1t is a very positive and
most remarkable document and reads:
"To the Honorable State board OF Trans
portation of Observation-Disclosures: We.
the undersigned farmers and members of
the subordinate lodge of the farmers
alliance at Benedict, York county, demand
that you reduce the freight rates on all
roads in Nebraska to a point where we will
be able to obtain a living price for our
products. We have petitioned prayed and
coaxed long enough. Go at it now, and
no more of your double-dealing, prevarica-
lion or evasion. We, the people, created
you as a board for this very purpose, and
you shalt do our bidding, or we will see
to it chat those of you recreant to the trust
placed in Your hands now, shall never fill
any office of honor or profit in this state.
You have the power-that is, the author
ity of law-to do this thing, and no one
knows our necessity better than you do.
We mean to bring this matter to the atten-
ton of every subordinate lodge in this
state. Well have you know that YOU are
our servants and not our masters. You
have one choice and only one. obedience
to the will of the people,. That's what this
government meant when founded, and we
are going to start things from the bottom"

the attendance at the district alliance,
and yet all sections OF the Hills were

have faith that they will be heard from
later on. President Adams did not
arrive until evening and many ladies
who intended being present were pre-
vented. The public meeting on Tuesday
evening was well attended by the citizens
both ladies and gentlemen, and we are
sure all felt well repaid. The Glee clut
kindly rendered it's services adding much
to the entertainment. The address o

QUEER GENEROUSLY IN MINNEAPOLIS.

The North Dakota farmers feels hat he
has asked for bread and been given a
stone. The business, men of st. Paul and
Minneapolis have raised 100000 with
which to buy seed wheat for the Dakota
farmer. Then when they have bought the
seed wheat they propose to sell it for 81 a
bushel to the starving farmer, permitting
him to pay twelve per cent for its use. and
courteously requesting him to give first
lien on his property for the prompt pay
ment of the money loaned. As the Dako-
ia farmers were obliged to sci! this wheat
as g AIDE No. 2 last year, receiving only
fifty cents a bushel, they are mildly irri-
tated at having a proposition made that
they should buy it back at 81 a bushel in
their present unfortunate condition. Oma-
ha was bad enough and slow enough and
for a time it did look as if there was not
going to be any wild rush to help the
farmers i'll Dakota, but if any man here
had proposed a scheme so heartless as
that which the benevolent gentlemen of
st. Panl and Minneapolis are trying to
work. it would have met with the condem-
nation of every other man in the city,

How to See the Wind.
st. Louis Republic

Take polished metal surface of two
feet or more, with straight edge; a large
handsaw will answer the purpose. Take
a windy day for the experiment, whether
hot or cold, clear or cloudy; only let it not
be in murky, rainy weather. Hold your
metallic surface at right angles with the
wind. e., if the wind is north hold
your surface east and west, but instead of
holding it vertical incline it about AZ de-
grees to the horizon, so that the wind
striking, glances and flows over the edge,
as water flows over dam. Now sight
carefully along the edge some minutes at
a sharply defined object, and you will see
the wind pouring over the edge In grace
full curves. Make your observations care
fully and you will hardly ever fail in the
experiment; the results are even better if
the sun is obscured
Horsemen are predicting great racing
season for 1890, and from the number of
entries that are being sent to the differ
ent jockey clubs. the probabilities are that
there will be fully 5000 horses in training
for races in different parts of America.
The American turf Is in very vigorous
condition at present, and many assert that
it is now at It's zenith and that decline
is bound to come This has been said for
the past two years, but the sport keeps
growing nevertheless

WORKED A NEAT GAME.
"Old Hutch Not Cute Enough For His
Sharp Clerk Who Euchred Him.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-It is reported on
the board of trade that the settling boys"
of B. P. Hutchinson. by series of cross
trade made to a certain broker, have
swindled him out of very large sum of
money. Mr.. Hutchinson was not on the
board this morning, but there appears to
be no doubt that he Is the victim of his
boys" Nothing else was talked of this
morning by the bulls and bears and the
amount taken was reported to be as much
as 100000
The Evening Journal says that Hutchlin-
son, while admitting the embellishments
deny that they foot up more than few
thousand dollars. The Journal says, how
ever, this is but the continuation or part
of the system of robbery whereby ''Old
Hutch" has been victimized for nearly two
years. His trades ON the board are said to
be very loose y managed and this accounts
for the ease with which the stealing was
done. The Journal asserts the job was put
up by Thomas Stoner. one of Hutchinson S
most trusted clerks and Bert King,
trusted clerk of Broker w.
P. Dickinson Mr.. Stoner would
mark up any amount that he consid red
safe, from 500 to $1,000, against Hutch
inson and to the credit of w. P Dicken-
son. King would make no corresponding
entry on Dickenson's sheet. The amount
was to be duly paid into the clearing
house, but, of course, was not collect
ed by Dickinson. 1t would be returned
to Hutchinson as uncollected, when Stoner
would go to Hutchinson's cashier, point
out the debit on the sheet, and have a
check drawn for Dickinson King would
convert this into cash and divide with his
partner III crime.

Salt-Rising Bread.
Ornr,n ca Indd Enrnnnr

One of the essential conditions in the
making of good salt-rising bread, is steady
warmth. If is gets chilled at any stage Of
the making. it is never as good. For thi.
reason one should be careful to warm the
-four after sitting it, both for the sponge
and dough, and then sift it once or twice
after it is warm, as warming ever so care
fully makes it cake, and seen hard when
sifted. There are at least two methods OF
making salt-rising bread. | give
THE EASIEST AND sUREsT WAY,
which is by starting with corn meal ris-
ing. If the days are short and the wealth
er cold, begin your bread thus, in the
morning of the day before baking. Place
on the stove in a tin cup or pan scant
half teacupful of new milk. When the
milk boils stir into it smoothly three tea
spoonfuls sifted meal, which viii be like
mush when it is right. Place this scalded
meal for the rising in warm place. secure
from drafts, until it is light, which viii

after making it. You will know when it

bubbles, and it often has that smell pecul-

The Place for Sportsmen.

White River, at Hazelton, Ind, makes
a regular horseshoe bend of some FIVE or
six miles, embracing several hundred acres
of low bottom land, through which runs
the Evansville & Terre Haute Railroad on
high embankment, this being the only
land visible for miles. During the recent
food it was the refuge of myriads of quail,
pheasants, wild turkeys, squirrels, foxes,
deer, racoons, opossums and rabbits. Al
together over ten thousand of the fowls
and animals mentioned were slain or cap
tured dead or alive by hunters. Among
them was large catamount, or wild cat,
which was captured alive after hard fight.
It nearly ate up half dozen dogs before it
was overcome. Besides those killed by
hunters several were killed by the cars as
the train went steaming through the liking
mass of fowls and animals on their long
narrow strip of earth where they had taken
refuge from the food.

Camphor for Colds.

Camphor in various forms is frequently
recommended for cold in the head.
although DIR. Geo. Johnson and others long
since indicated the dangers attending the
use of concentrated alcoholic solutions. The
following method of application is suggest
ed by Swiss pharmaceutical journal, and
certainly has the merit of simplicity A
jug is half filled with boiling water, into
which teaspoonful of well-powdered
camphor is thrown A funnel-shaped
paper cap is then placed ON the top of the
jug, and hole torn in it just fitting the
nose. The camphored steam is inhaled
through the nose for ten or fifteen min
utes, the inhalation being repeated, if re-
quired, every four or FIVE hours. If the
patient resolutely persists with the in
halation, in spite of its unpleasantness,
it is said that three repetitions will
always effect cure, however severe the
cold may be.

Daily Laramie Boomerang. The paper

wild west like a nigger-chaser thrown into

Such journal was never before seen nor

seen that the Boomerang stood alone, not
exactly grand or gloomy, but peculiarly
