Nickel Uunt0rg.

Anyone who chances 70 take stroll
just before sunrise along the lire of
any of the surface railways in New
York, will be sure to see from two to a
dozen men walking near the tracks
with hands in pockets and heads bent
down. He may also observe that the
conductors and drivers on the infrc-
quent horse cars of that early hour
also have their eyes turned carthward.
They arc all hunting for money. Dur
ing the night, ana particularly when
the after theatcr homcward rush is on,
the conductors are very busy collect
ing fares and making change by the
dim light of the car lamps. In the
process both they and the passengers
allow more or less snail coin so slip
through their fingers, and it is for the
dimes and niclzels that have rolled to
the pavement that search is made at
dawn. The change that falls beneath
the floor Stats of the closed cars DC
longs to the cleaners at the stables.

wlNE-AND MIX OF EQUAL COST.

Ex-senator Evarts Finds His Farm In var-
mont . Costly Toy.
'It costs considerably more to run a
farm than people imagine" remarked
man to a Boston Herald reporter.
"a man may support yacht, go off on
long cruises, entertain literally, and
gain. the reputation of being hail fell
low we'll met: but oftentimes, it has
been asserted, the running of farm
is still more costly. People as rule
labor under the impression that the
returns more than Offset the outlay.
They figure that the owner raises
enough vegetables and fruit to last
him from year to year, and the fact
that he can enjoy homemade butter
is something not to be disregarded in
summing up the profit and loss.
"Now, that idea is entirely errone-
Gus, which think can prove to your
satisfaction" Then settling himself
in his seat, the speaker went on to tell
of the agricultural experience of Will
liam NJ. Evarts, the famous New York
larwyer, who has just celebrated his
golden wedding on his farm. He rea-
lized at one time, it has been said, an
income OF over fifty thousand dollars
yearly from his practlce. lie was also
the owner of the place at Windsor,
VT, on which gang of men was con-
stantly employed.
On one occasion lady, hearing of
Mr.. Evarts' large income from his Fro
fession, exclaimed in the presence OF
the attorneys wife: GLOW rich they
must be!' to which the latter replied
In quiet manner: "You forget, mad
am, that we own farm" 1t is also
related of the distinguished lawyer,
that. while entertaining n number of
friends at his home one evening he
produced several bottles of champagne
and n quantity of milk. Turning to
his guests he said, without semblance
of humOr: Gentlemen, here is some
milk from my firm, and here is some
wine. You can take your choice
they both cost the same"

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
CURED.
An Old Case Successfully
Treated.

The symptoms are: Roaring, Crack
ing, buzzing in ears, with gradually in
creasing difficulty in hearing. If not
cured the hearing will be entirely des-
troyed. When the case has not al
ready gone to far before the treatment
is begun Pe-ru-na will Cure every case.
It is only after the catarrh has de-
stroyed portions of the middle ear that
Pe-ru-na fails to cure.
Mr.. Frederick Bierman, of McComb
City, Miss, had chronic catarrh very
badly for many years. The disease
finally passed IN the eustachian tube
into the middle ear, and had almost
destroyed his hearing. He has been
taking Pe-ru-na but a short time, and
his catarrh is very much better, and he
hears again as we'll as any one.

Ob1tu ary.

DIED-On Wednesday,, Feb'y., 18th
1888, from injuries received in a ac
cident on the Great Northern road,
near Devils Lake, Rob't Cairns, of
Osnabrock, N. D., aged As years.
The entire community Of Devils
Lake are deeply moved by the sad
news of the death of Robert Cairns in
the railroad accident of Wednesday
morning. Deceased was born at RoX-
buryshire, Scotland, on Feb. %, 1913.
When he was quite young his family
moved to Wellington county, Ontario,
where he resided till he was of age.
Then he removed to Hastings, Neb.,
where he was married to Miss Ellen
Chapman, of Ohio. Two bright child
rem, Mary and Robert, bless their
union, the former aged ten and the
latter five. The family came to Devils
Lake in 1888, where the deceased open
ed the Commercial house opposite the
United States Land Office. He went
from here to Langdon in 1887 and open
ed a general store in partnership with
Mr.. Boyd, also branch store at Osna-
brock where he resided. No person
ever became acquainted with Robert
Cairns without being impressed with
his manliness, honor and straight
forwardness. He was one of the best
and most respected business man in
this region. The sympathy of the ell
tire community is deservedly with the
family and relatives of the deceased.
His death is severe loss to his family
and to the business community with
whome he cast his lot.-Devils Lake

he received the nomination of the
party for governor against "Honest
John Miller, when he received 12,-
1888 against 95,O53 for Burke, asd
4,s2t for Walter Muir. On Mon
day last he was elected United

pays to lead, what the republicans
have been in the habit of calling a
forlorn hope, sometimes. Wonder
where folorn hope lays now?

Carnival.
The masquerade carnival at the ice

come off some three weeks previous,
but necessarily postponed owing to the
nature of the weather came off last
Friday evening in decidedly success
fill manner. The attendance was
good, indeed better than was generally
anticipated when it is remembered
that quite Il number Of families are out
of town. The number and variety of
costumes which hid the identity of
familiar faces, was quite large and all
seemed SO natural that the task of the
judges in awarding the hOnors for the
best ladies and gents costumes was in
deed an unenviable one. The prizes
were Il ladies toilet set and gents
shaving set, which the Judges Messrs

LINCOLN, May I7.-When the court con-
vened Tuesday morning Judge Post, in
behalf of his associates, announced that
the offer made by the attorneys for the
respondents had been considered, that
the testimony relative to Ex-Governor
Thayer's message, commencing tbs
members of the board of public lands
and buildings for their honesty. and the
testimony relative to the message of
Ex-Governor Boyd demanding an inves-
tigation of the asylum matter, would be
admitted in evidence. He also said that
the report of the legislative committee
of 1891, the report of DIR. Knapp, the ex.
superintendent at the asylum, and the
report of the board could be considered.
The testimony taken Ill the investiga-
ton, however, he held was not to be ad-
mitted.
Major Post, the accountant, went
upon the stand for the purpose of identi-
flying the flour vouchers showing the
amount of -four charged by Sewell g Co.
and paid FOR by the state. The major
found most of the vouchers and upon

ness of either himself. the baker, tho
cook, or that of J. Dan Lauer. With
all of this testimony Major Post did
not utter a syllable to show that any
check was kept on the flour, the plan
evidently being to receive the -four and
merely 30 K" Sewell s. Co.'s bill. This
class of testimony is just what was pre-
dicted by the state, and it is openly adj
mitted that it is for the purpose of again
shifting the responsibility and getting it
farther away from the respondents.

paper MIL was here and told Governor
Lewelling and Attorney General Little
that an agent Of the trust had threatened

the combine. The governor instructed
the attorney general to resort to every
measure that would prevent the COM
bine from driving out Kansas industries,
and that official addressed the county
attorneys of the state giving the follow
ing instructions:
SIN consideration of the vast injury
the people of Kansas have suffered at
the hands of these trusts, and are likely
to suffer, therefore call upon you to
seek out the agents of this great trust
and arrest each and every one of them
and spare no pains in their prosecution,
and let me know and you shall have as

HoLToN, Kan, May 16.-William
Prater was shot and probably fatally
injured by his brother, Mac Prater, a
horseman, of this city. The wounded
man had been boarding at his brothers
house, but the latter became suspicious
of his relations with his Wits and
ordered him to leave. William left
town, but returned Thursday and was
about to enter his brothers house when
Mac stepped out from a place where he
had been hiding and gave him the con-
tents Of a double barreled shotgun.
Mac Prater has been arrested.

Topeka, May 15.-The officers elected
in fully one-third of the state have failed
or refused TO comply with the election
law passed last winter, requiring full
report of all moneys expended
by candidates for Office. The attorney
general decided Saturday that all such
persons were liable to prosecution, and
that the election of persons who had
failed to comply with this law would be
contested. This decision may probably
start dozens of contests, and many Re-
publicans elected will have to give up
their Office to POpulists,

Evidence All Taken At Fort AIAdisOHs
Some Oft Shows Enmity Of the warden.
Fort MADISON, Ia, May I4.-The
prison investigation committee virtually
completed its work. The session was
devoted to inquiries into the complaints
alleging overcharges for clothing and
the extra charge Of % cents pair from
guards for cloth shoes. It is now
claimed that the warden will be able to
show that the state received pay for
labor performed by convicts outside the
prison, but this will not relieve him
from at least censure for permitting
such work to go on in gross violation of
the law. The fact has been developed
that considerable epmity exists between
Warden Mcmillan and some of the IN
der officials of the prison, which, it is
said, probably had considerable GO do
with charges being made originally to
the governor.
