Ex-Governor Taylor, of Tennessee,
tells a new story that probably explains
the choice of a cemetery lot, made by
the democrats of the Nebraska 1egisla-
ture. It runs like this:
Pat was about to die. The priest had
been called and had administered the
last services. Then he said;
"Pat is there anything else you desire?"

i'll a third-party graveyard"
"Why Pat" said the priese, "why is
that?'
"Well, your reverence" says Pat, "a
third-party~ graveyard is the last place
the devil would look for a democrat"

1t is a curious fact, and one that will
surprise most people, that OF the $1,000
100000 worth of crops estimated to have
been produced in this country in 1892,
the largest item is $3.50, 100000 worth of
hay. This affords some idea of the

One farmer near Fremont has been

swindled, but are ashamed to complain.

The city fathers are considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of PAVING the cutters Of
Main avenue for four or FIVE blocks
north from Railroad street. Doubtless
this is the only proper solution Of the
question and will meet with the approval
of all. A permanent, substantial, paved
gutter will be economy in the long run,
though somewhat expensive at the first.
The authorities are also earnestly seek
ing a more economical culvert than the
wooden ones now in use, to construct
and maintain which is a heavy and con-
slant drain on the city treasury. Thing
of large dimensions, or paving, is sug-
gested. Either will serve the purpose
more satisfactorily than the expensive
wooden ones now in vogue. We hope
to see this desirable improvement COM
menced in the early spring.

good for sore eyes. He now has cribbed
yer 5000 bushels of corn, and when
his immense cribs are full he will have
over 10000 bushels of "King Korn."
His pens now contain 900 head of cattle
and a like number of hogs, all of which
he is feeding for market. Some two
weeks since he marketed a carload of
hogs in Omaha, which netted him 81, 200.
lie has another carload about ready for
shipment. If You want to see what can

everywhere visible Of energy and enter

A contemporary says, speaking Of the
Australian ballot system; "To stubbornly
sustain a law in all its imperfections
that has been shown by practical dem
s~tration to rob any portion of the people
of their political rights, is a crime
against suffrage and an outrage on
American citizenship" It is strange
that so simple, safe and effective a sys-
tenn of voting should meet with such
criticism. 1t works well enough in this
state and nobody here wants to exchange
it for any other plan Of voting that has
ever been proposed.
