s. 8. Green went to Omaha Welnss-
day to buy about three cars OF cattle.
Mr.. Green IL ono OF our most practical
farmers. He buys . bunch Of cattle
just like q merchant buys . stock Of
goods. II the people generally demand
q certain kind OF meat he buys the kind
OF cattle needed to produce that quality
Of meat. He says the medium grade Of
feeders are the kind most in demand,
and consequently the most profitable.
The very high or the very low grades do
not satisfy the popular demand like IN
intermediate grade. Mr.. Green's knowl-'
edge of what it takes to make good feed
ers is based on experience and not tho
advice Of others.-Schuyler Quill.
Prof. Trimmer Of Chicago, who is
giving q two weeks course Of instruction
in voice culture and chorus drill, 10
meeting with good success here. His
cantata given at Albion recently was
received with much prsise. Mrs. Anna
Warren Of this city assisted in the con-
cert with several selections. Prof. Blom-
quest .ss,sts Prof. Trimmer a. bass
soloist and gives instructions on the
mandolin and guitar. All who have
attended the lessons are highly pleased
with the work. Prof. Trimmer contem-
plates directing q normal school in this
city next summer, if proper arrangements
can be made. It gives an opportunity
for music-lovers to put themselves for
ward in the art.
We have concluded best not to de-
lay the issue of The JOURNAL q day, al
though. Of course, going to press on the
afternoon Of the day OF election, We can
give nothing of results. We only know
how We think it ought to be. We are
certain of that. But there are SO many
other voting sovereigns in this country
that also think they think they know,
that this device of the ballot-box, and
election boards was long ago put into
use in order to determine general aver
age OF the voters will and record it, 90
that things could be governed by the
will of the majority. We can say hero
and now, before the election is over and
the count made, that We believe the re-
publican party have made great gains;
that Nebraska has, at least partially re-
deemed herself, and this mainly through
the temporary Gf not permanent) acces-
sion of many nti-popullst, anti-fusion,
anti Bryan voters.
1t is caution, how many people in
the city read The JOURNAL. No sooner
was the issue of last week distributed
in the city mail Tuesday evening than
all the friends OF soldiers away from
home were Immediately interested in
discussing what to send in an "l8x8x8
inch box, outside measurement" a.
Christmas presents to the soldiers. The
next day almost all the boxes we're
ready, and the packing process began.
It was found that q box of that size
wouldn't contain thousandth part Of
what the friends would like to send, but
they had to make the best of it, and buy
and pack with reference to the limited
space. The most of it all will be tho
fact that all are remembered by the
home folks. One Of the most touching
and popular old-time, sentimental songs
is do they miss me at home, do they
miss me?"
1t is said that during one week Of
this fall there was not single death in
the city Of Boston by diphtheria- very
remarkable fact, due, it is thought, to
the general use OF antitoxine in the
treatment of the disease and to the city's
excellent hospital accommodations for
the isolation and treatment OF conta-
gious diseases, and to the daily medical
inspection Of the pupils Of the public
school. This Boston notion seems to be
taking root in other large cities of the
country, and so long as the germ origin
of diseases is held by the medical fra
ternity and the general public, the notion
will doubtless be put into practice.
Certainly this dread 'malady is SO for
midable an enemy to the human race
that if there is anything in the line of
remedies that gives good promise OF
successfully withstanding it, and keep
ing it from entering the homes Of the
people-the remedy should be applied.
In all cases of evil prevention is better
than cure"
The power Of the press is coming to
be acknowledged moro and moro every
year, in all lines of work or business,
where the public mind is to be reached
and influenced through the printed word.
It is q medium OF exchange of thought
not equaled by any other used by men.
and this fact is appreciated in this year
OF grace, 1893, more than ever before.
Progress has received an impulse that is
sending us forward at more rapid gait
than ever before, and all intelligent
people must throw away useless incum-
brances, and otherwise put themselves
in trim for the race, or be left behind.
Make the best use Of your opportunities,
seek greater knowledge for the purpose
Of better life, for yourself as we'll a. for
Others; there is nothing truer than that
mo one liveth to himself alone" We are
destined to move, and to move forward,
