The wearing of am Der beads to prevent
or cure Group, quinsy, epilepsy or nose
bleed, the idea that measles is one of
the necessary and u~npreventable diseases
Of childhood, and that 'long hair makes
weak Children" and the popular notion
that the second summer of childhood is
more fatal to life than any other period,
are nursery superstitions against which
a well known physician has at last made
a vigorous protest. Statistics prove that
more infants die in the first summer than
the second. The large number Of deaths
that do occur in the second summer are
due, says this authority, almost entirely
"to digestive and hence preventable di-
seases," for which parents are often more
responsible than the summer.

In order to increase their water sup
ply, which the dry weather and the di-
v~erting Of the water into the irrigation
ditch have seriously impaired, the onl
pany is having another well sunk in the
neighborhood of the present cluster. In
the meantime they have issued a circular
calling for the greatest economy in the
use of water and forbidding its use
for lawn purposes for the present. It is
to be hoped that this condition Of affairs
may not last longer than a few days. In
the event of a prolonged absence of water
the lawns, trees and shrubbery of the
city will suffer incalculable injury.

The death of the Cummins child at
P~lattsmouth, recently, from inhaling the
gas from a fve-gallon tank of gasoline,
may serve as a warning to our readers. It
seems that the can had just been deliver
ed filed. While the can was allowed to
remain on the porch, the child which was
about two years old, pulled out the cork
stopper placed its mouth over the hole
and soon inhaled enough poisonous gas to
throw it into spasms, which resulted in
its death within five hours, in spite of the
efforts made by the doctors to say the
dear one. Be careful with your gasoline
can especially if you have little children
of an inquisitive nature around.

Strictly for Cash.

The very unusual stringency in hnan-
cial circles makes it absolutely necessary
for us to adopt a strictly cash basis on
which to conduct business in the future,
and we fondly hope that our many old
friends and customers will appreciate the
situation, which is imperative, and will
in the future give us their trade, as in the
past. We can save you money be selling
for cash, as we'll as protect ourselves.

Complaint is registered at this Office
that the highway leading south from the
middle river bridge is almost impossible
on account of the terrible odors arising
from dead animals which have been
hauled there and not properly buried.
1t is difficult to understand how any one
could be guilty of such an outrageous
act. At any rate the authorities should
promptly abate the nuisance; and in future
the practice of hauling dead animals
anywhere and failing to properly cover
them should be frowned down, even if
somebody has to pay a heavy fine. 1t is
heathenish, disgusting and unhealthy.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS.

"a AAN1L&AV
Do your children belong to the Junior
c. E. here? If not enroll them at once.
Meetings s O'Clock, Sunday evenings, in
Lutheran church.
The St. Andrews c. E. society of Liv-
erpool, England, have raised $500 to
send one of their members as a mission
airy to China. That needs no comment.
1t isn't a very large society either.
Miss Maud McMillen will lead the
meeting, Sunday evening, the goth.
Meeting commences at 7 sharp. Don't
be late. This will be a good time for
some of you to break the record in this
particular. Try it. Strangers and others
are cordially welcomed.
Here's something from the Juniors of
Boston: "On Sunday recently, the Jun
iors of the South End Tabernacle carried
out to the hospitals nearly one hundred
punches of ~violets, each bearing its pre-
cious verse of comfort" Who derived
the greater blessing, the children or the
hospital patients? "Tis more blessed to
give than to receive"
The lookout committee of Congrega-
tional Chinese c. E. of Fresno, Califor-
MIA, before the meeting commences, 60
through the lanes and alleys of China
town inviting their friends to prayer
meeting. There's practical Christianity
for you; and from Cinnamon too. Why
not do the same here. If Cinnamon
can invite their friends we certainly
ought to be able to invite ours.

ment? did not know that there is a
person in this country who did not know
what it is; it seems that there is though,

pledging themselves to attend all the
meetings, unless prevented by a good
reason, and to take some part therein,
aside from singing. None but professed
Christians of course are admitted as &C
tive members. The associate members
are young people of good character, who
like Christian associations, and they
pledge themselves to attend the meetings
of the society, although they are not
pledged to take part unless they feel SO
inclined. The work is done through
committees, such as look out committee,
which passes upon all applications for
membership. The prayer meeting com

SILVER MEN DEFIANT.
FILIBUsTERING Is THE METHOD TO
BE RELIED UPON.
Voorhees, Urged by the Administration to
Accept No Compromise and Asks Again
for Night sessions-The Silver
Men Insist on Quorum.

WASHINGTON, Oct 16.-The word
sent along the line of silver forces to-
night was to filibuster and require an
silver men have been comforting dur
out that Senator Voorhees, would re-
quest the senate to sit into the night
and the information, whether correct
or not, was added that he would take
this course upon the direct request of
the president, made through Secretary
Carlisle. The purpose OF the fili5uster-
ing is to show the futility of attempt
ing to force unusual hours.
A visit vas made Carlisle by Voor-
hees this morning and Carlisle urged
Voorhees, to hold firm and keep his
forces in line. He expressed the opin-
ion that by so doing it would be posi-
BILE to secure the passage of the bill
unamended and suggested the advisa-
bility of continuing night sessions. 1t
was Immediately after the visit that
Voorhees, repaired to the capitol and
announced his intention of asking the
senate to sit until 10 o'clock at night.
Appearances would justify the state
ment that the administration has
taken another occasion to announce
and emphasize its opposition to any
deviation from the course originally
mapped out and determination to
have all the resources exhausted
before accepting compromise. The
attitude of the repeal forces In the
senate. seen early this morn
ing, was enough to convince the silver
men that something had happened.
Advocates of repeal had not at the be-
ginning of the session shown q more
determined front. Efforts at compro-
mise were kept up In q desultory way
and Cockrell. who has taken the lead
as a compromiser, continued his work
in that direction. He did not, how
ever, make material progress. Both
the radical Democratic and Republi-
can repeal senators asserted positively
that compromise proposition would
never secure vote sufficient to secure
Its adoption. Republican repealers
were especially confident In this
assertion. They have held no
formal conference, but are
standing very closely together on the
question. They say they are willing
to hold out indefinitely. Some went
to the extent today of proposing that
they prepare written pledge assur-
ing Voorhees, of their devotion to the
cause and Of their willingness to stand
by him until the first Of next July II
necessary to secure the passage OF the
bill.
There are few Republican repeal
senators who take another view, how
ever. Among them Manderson. He
said today that If Cleveland
would not accept a COM
promise he would find he would get
nothing. Sherman was asked tonight
what he thought was the prospect FOR
the repeal bill. He replied that it all
depended upon the Democratic side of
the chamber. "We,' he said, refer
ring to the repeal Republicans, "are
quiescent. We are waiting for the
Democrats to reach conclusion, but
it seems very difficult for them to
agree. They do not seem to realize
that they are in a majority and the re-
sponsibility for legislation rests on
them"
