SETTLERS on timber claims will be glad
to note the tenor OF an opinion recent
ly fled by the secretary of the interior,
remarks the Nebraska Farmer. 1t puts
on record a decision from the depart
ment to the effect that If settler has
honestly tried to live up to the require
ments OF the timber culture act he will
be protected in the possession of his
property though there is not a growing
tree thereon. This is simply justice.
A man cannot be held responsible under
the adverse conditions of nature. The
opinion is we'll taken and it sets prece-
dent that can safely he followed hereaf-
ter, and one, in fact, that was anticipat-
ed by the action of the last congress.

The Worlds Fair.

Fifty years hence, the local old timers
will still tell about what they "saw in
Chicago in 1893."
And what they say will be worth
listening to. Time and old age and in
trinity will make no difference; their
memories will not hold more pleasant
recollections than those connected with
the Great Fair.
The glorious magnificence of the Ex-
position buildings - the crowds of
strange. foreign-looking people-the de-
lights of the trip to Chicago by the Bur-
lington Route. All these and thou
sand other equally pleasant topics will
be referred to over and over again.

"A queer fact this season is the dis
tance the water is below the surface in
Schuyler. During former seasons one
could dig a couple feet below the surface
and strike water. Cellars had to be we'll
cemented to keep the water out. This
season the water in the city is at least
ten feet below the surface as has been
shown by digging for water works pur-
poses. Cellars not cemented are per-
fectly dry. Last season it was nearly
the same. The question now arises, is it
owing to the unusually dry season or
has the water dropped SO much below
the surface for all time? 1t is SO great
a change that attention toit is attracted.

Considerable interest was manifested
the latter part of the week in a suit at
law little ont of the usual course Of
proceedings. Some time ago nearly all
of our merchants received the following
circular, which will explain itself:
II will pay you spot cash for any
claims, notes, accounts or judgments
that you hold against employees of the
railways, express companies or telegraph
companies mentioned below. Send me
name of debtor, his address, capacity in
which he works, the company for which
he works, and amount and character of
your claim, and I will make you an

Some Columbus merchants sent in a
few accounts, and in due time several
railroad men received notice from Eras-
tins Young, auditor of the Union Pacific
road, that their wages had been gar
nisheed.
Upon investigation the men SO gar
nisheed, believed that it was done under
the advisement of Fuller 4 Wilcox, at
torneys of this city. They consulted C.
A. Woosley and at his suggestion suit
was brought against Fuller & Wilcox for
violation of sections 5Oe4 and 5O65 of the
code of Nebraska, which prohibit any
action to 'tseize, attach, or garnishee the
wages of such person or persons earned
within sixty days prior to the COM

Moral Courage.

Young man, you will need great deal
of moral courage as you 60 through this
world, and if the demand for it is greater
than the supply with you is likely to be,
do your best about it, if you want your
life to he a success.
When your associates do right, it will
be easy for You to do SO also; but when
they do wrong and try to get you to
follow them in some wrong practice,
perhaps to violate the Sabbath, have you
moral courage enough to say, No? God
says, Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy" Bear in mind as you
mingle with the world, that if You do
not firmly resist the temptation to CON-
NIT even what You might regard as
small sins, soon the idea of committing
great ones will not startle you. Be
prompt to say yes, or no, at all times as
the right demands, even though by SO
doing You may be in the minority, or
stand alone Remember Christ said,
"Broad is the way that leadeth to de-
struction, and many there be which 60
in thereat, because straight is the gate
and narrow is the way, which leadeth
unto life, and few there be that find it. !"
So You need not expect to see the major
ity in the right at all times, but just call
forth your moral courage, for soon all
uncertainties will be swallowed up in
one certainty-death, and what then?

The Wonderful Moving Sidewalk at Chicago.
From Henry Haven Windsor's article
on Transit Facilities at Chicago" in
the June Review of Reviews, We clip the
following: For those who come by the
lake route, and for others who prefer to
sail on land, there is the movable side
walk, seating 10000, and extending out
on the great pier 1900 feet into the lake.
The view of the grounds from the end
of the pier is superb, and as one can ride
as long as the fancy dictates for one FIVE
cent fare, it is deservedly popular. The
construction of the moving sidewalk
with its endless chain of seats was not
alone for fun, but fact, and to demon
strate its wonderful possibilities for the
transportation of great masses of peo-
pie. The line, which is operated by cleo
tricity, has capacity of 100000 pas
sengers per hour. There are three end
less platforms, forming loop at each
end. The first is stationary, the second
moves at three miles an hour, and upon
it one steps in a natural walk but with
out experiencing any jar or shock; from
this he steps to the third platform, NOV
ing three miles faster than the second,
or at total of six miles per hour. This
third platform is entirely filled with
cross seats. The moving platforms are
carried on ordinary railway wheels and
track and constitute one of the most in
teresting attractions on the grounds.
