Brandreth's Pills are the best medicine
known.
Frst-They are purely vegetable, in
fact medicated food.
.Second-The same dose always pro-
duces the same effect-other purgatives
require increased doses and finally cease
acting.
7Nird-They purify the blood.
Fourth-They invigorate the digestion
and cleanse the stomach and bowels.
FUfh-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiated bile and other depraved
secretions.
The first two or three doees tell the
story. The skin becomes clear, the eye
bright, the mind active, digestion is re.
stored, costiveness cured, the animal
vigor is recruited and all decay arrested
Brandreth's Pill are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain OF
sugar coated.

LINCOLN, NEB.. Feb. 7, 1892 Governor
james =. Boyd, Omaha, Neb-DEAR SIR ::
When commenced proceedings one year
ago to test your title to the office of GOV
ernor, / did so in the full belief that there
was great doubt in the public mind as to
your citizenship and eligibility. l then
took occasion to publish that as soon as
your citizenship was established by the
courts would gladly surrender the office
to you.
The contest was not one of personal strife
nor to satisfy any ambition of my own, but
to comply with and uphold the constitution
of the state. Now that the public press has
announced the highest tribunal has de-
clared under the Constitution and laws of
our country and state your rights to the
office, cheerfully yield the Office of COVER
nor to you without awaiting the mandate
of court.
AS | am about to leave the state on
Monday to be absent some weeks, it would
| be most convenient to me to turn the
| office over to you at Q o'clock of that day
| if it is your pleasure to accept the same a
that time. Very respectfully.
John M. THAYER.

That they will bust with gigglin.

AN IMMENSE GRAIN TRADE,
But the American Flag Fioated Over
Very Few of the Carpoes.

The Commercial Adgertiser, New York

William E. Ferguson of the Produce
Exchange, recognized statistical
authority, the grain shipments from
this port in 1891 were; Wheat, 45,706,-
1856 bushels; corn, 1881, 572; rye,
4,401 ,513; oats, 2,707,T73; flaxseed,
2,133,366; barley, 1,943,019; buckwhedt
(the first year it was ever exported in
quantities worth noting), 260,377. This
grain was carried in 1928 steamers and
10 sailing ships.
But % of the 1888 cargoes left here
under the American flag, and there are
only four American steamers now in
the grain trade. English ships made 7e2
trips with 49 1858, 1906 bushels.
The exports last year were greater
than at any time since 1881, when they
