Of that state that Nebraska was the
best place on earth for them to go
if they wanted a farm. It was the
truth and I flatter myself that it
was told III a way that they be-
lieved it and that it added a good
many of them to Nebraska's pop
ulation," said D. H. Stearus at the
Lincoln last night.
'!Things have changed a good
deal since then. Nebraska was the
best state in the union while her
railroads and cities were being
built. She's good yet, though
there is nothing in the next twenty
years to duplicate the stream of
money that has been poured out
here in construction during the
past twenty. IAe people have got
10 get along without thar. Ne
braska is not alone. The whole
country from here to the Atlantic
has had It's share of construction
prosperity and has now entered
upon period Of rest rom work. !"
This country had come down We
couldn't go on building railroads,
cities, factories, cars, engines, fur
niture. The gold money man will
tell you its the silver agitation.
The silver men says its because
silver was demonetized. The
straight politician lays hard things
to the Mckinley tariff or the Viii
son bill. But these have nothing
TO do with the hard times. They
are merely the salient points ex-
posed by the rubbing off Of the
prosperity of the great construction
era Of the last half of this century.
More money has been poured out
for labor during this period than
had been paid out in wages since
the world began. The wage
Garner who has saved some Of his
share and put it to good use is
fortunate. God help those who
have spent all they got Of it. For
no man can tell what they are going
to do III the future and no such
chance will come again during the
lifetime Of any one now living
The only hope for those now wait
ing for something to do is to bestil
themselves and get on a piece o

farming to sell products is just a.

The following is an extract copied
from Capt. Y. w. Symon's report
as government engineer in charge Of
the work on Yaquina Bay;
Before improvement the usual
low-water depths over the bar at
Yaquina bay were from seven TO
eight feet. There were three dis
tinct channels, known as the north,
middle and south channels. The
south channel was the one mostly
used, but was rendered dangerous
by rocks. The middle channel,
though free from rocks, was little
used, being usually the shoa1est.
The north channel, besides being
long and tortuous, was so studded
with rocks a. to be considered un-
navigable. These channels were
constantly shifting ard changing in
depth.
A project was adopted in 1881 to
construct a stone jetty on the south
side, at an estimated cost Of
S465, 900, in order 10 cause the
south channel to shoal up, and to
obtain least high-water depth Of
II feet in the middle channel. The
Ijetty was to be two feet above
mean low water, and was to run
out to sea a distance Of $500 feet
from low-water line. The stone
was 10 be deposited from barges,
and cribs were to be used if pos
sible. Both were found impossible,
owing TO rough water, and the
ietty had to be built from a tram
way begun at the high-tide line,
making the projected length about
1000 feet.
The present project, adopted in
1888, is to raise the south jetty TO
high-tide level, without further ex-
tension, and to build a mid-tide
ietty on the north side about 2,3oo
feet long from the north head 10 a
point opposite the end of the south
jetty and about 900 feet from it.
Thie nroiect hos heen notified to
proViue ior raising the norm Jetty
to high-tide level, and for building
five groins from the south jetty to-
ward the channel. The estimated
cost, from beginning, is S755, $780,
80. The amount expended prior
to June 80, 1893, was 5000, S49.S4.
AS result, the cond ition of the
entrance was very satisfactory, there
being minimum depth over the
bar Of ID feet at low water.
Trouble was threatened, however,
!, by the formation Of bar inside the
entrance. The amount expended
| during the year ending June 80,
: 1894, was $25,39S 90. The results
I are practically the same as before
, The inner bar disappeared during
: the year 1898, but has reformed

THE AVERAGE MAN.
a Very Suggestive Lecture by Rev. DR.
Parsons Last Evening.

At the Congress- street Methodist church
last evening, Rev. DR.. Parsons OF the
Chestnut street church, delivered his
lecture, entitled "The Average Man.
In the beginning he said that his earnest
plea was for the ordinary man. 1t is
and to look down at the inferior man.
1t is the ordinary manEthat most of US
must be and must associate with.
There's a great wrong done at COM
mencements in telling all young men to
climb to the top. They're not going to
get there and will be disappointed. 1t
is great thing to be contented with
your lot, the average lot, and to realize
that this average lot is a source of con-
tent and happiness. Most great men die
broken hearted. A head isn't the tar
get of enmity and injustice until it rises
above the rest.
1t was once the speakers fortune to
be offered II college presidency in the
West. He asked the advice of friend,
the president of Dickinson College. The
latter said "Don't you accept it. A
college presidency is the loneliest place
there is. There are two or three men
in that faculty that want that position
and they won't help you, if you take it. :"
The importance of the average man
cannot be overestimated. Be willing to
be of the mass, but be SO good man of
so high quality that you Will elevate
the average of the race.
DR.. Parsons spoke at some length of
General Grant. He said that Grant, the
silent man, was..ssbut the average man,
until the war broke out He rotated an
incident when he (Parsons) was once
conversing with General Sherman, and
asked him what, in his opinion, was
the secret of General Grants success and
ability. The old warrior replied, "Com-
mon sense and bull dog pertinacity. -
The average man is the king of this
country. What he is the country will be.
What he wants will be enacted into law.
Legislation never rises an inch above
the average man. It's not the advanced
leader who determines legislation.
Its the continual heave of the average
man.
DR.. Parsons emphasized the impor-
tance of elevating the average man and
especially the need of guarding the bal
lot from ignoranta foreigners aud of
maintaining the English language and
Americanssfag everywhere throughout the
country. He also paid a high. tribute to
the average woman, declaring that she
was just as important as the average

WOMEN AND PROHIBITION.

The question Of the probable influ

ercised through tho ballot has received
an ILLUSTRATION Ia Norway recently
Not long ago the attention OF Europ,
aud America was called TO the way IN
which the liquor irafilc Is regulated In
that country, and a great many b..
came quite enthusiastic over the 90.
called GothonbuTg system.
Since then the women 10 Norway
have been given chance TO exprs,s
their We've on the liquor question, and
since they for years have boon IN n
position to study the practical results
OF the syslom on their husbands and
brothers, their verdict Is not TO DO set
aside by theoretical arguments. The
hrst chance tho women had TO make
themselves heard with effect was in tho
little city OF GJovik. There on election
day they rallied en- mAsso around
the polls and voted against the
system. In another city, Arsndhl,
the result was the same. The third
place where the women pronounced
against the liquor trafii9 was at Riser.
