Omaha IN this respect.
The Omaha Bee, Of which Ed
ward ROSewater is the archltrct,
is one of the best and most intlu-
entail papers Of the West. The
building is magnificent ten
story brown sandstone, and the
best equipped newspaper building
in the country. Rosewater's ex-
perience is only an illustration Of
what a man can do who has pur-
pose and integrity, supplemented
with brain. His nationality is
Swedish. During the war Of
lS6l-5 he entered the military
service as a telegraph operator,
and by fidelity to duty gained the
attention Of the late Gen. AnSen
Stager, who gave him promotion.
The war over he dropped into
journalism in Omaha with an am
bitlon to succeed, and he has no
doubt filled the full measure Of
his honest and laudable ambition.
He owns the best paper in the
western country and is honOred
and respected by all who know
the honorable and manly traits
of character and indomita6le
will of the builder Of his reputa-
tion and fortune. But there are
many others.

opinion years ago. This trron-

GREAT FLESH

Get Strength, VigOr, Clear Complex
Ion, and Good Digestion, Not by
Patent Medicine, But in Natures
Own Way
Any honest physician will tell
you that there is but one way to
get increased flesh; all the patent
medicines and cod liver oils to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
Nature has but one way to in
crease flesh, strength and vigor,
mind and body, and that is
through the stomach, by whole
some food, we'll digested. There
is no reason or common sense in
other method whatever.
People are thin, run down,
nervous, pale, and shaky in their
nerves simply because their
stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have
dyspepsia, but the fact remains
that they do not eat enough food,
or what they eat is not quickly
and properly digested, as it
should be.
DR.. Harlandson says the rea-
son is because the stomach lacks
certain digestive acids and pep
tones, and deficient secretion of
gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases
is to supply what the weak
stomach lacks. There are sew
eral good preparations which will
do this, but none so readily as

which are designed especially for
all stomach troubles, and which

mittee meeting of Saturday ad-
iourncd when Chairman w. S.
Bullock received q telegram from
the governor ordering an election
for sheriff.
To conform to this new phase
OF the question tOday's commit
tee convened to act. It. did so by
confirming IT'S recommendation Of
Saturday and ordering the name
Of p. II. Nugent to be placed on
the official ballot by the board of
county commissioners.
The meeting was a full one
Every precinct but one was rep
resented. There were seven writ

verbal ones.
Chairman Bullock went over
the law, and his opinion was con-
Cured in by K. l.. Anderson, 4.
A. Burford, Judge McConathy
and w. K. XeWadski, that the
time intervening between Sheriff
Hodges death and Mr.. Nugent' S
recommendation, left too little
time to call an election for the un-
expired term between now and
November s, but he bowed to the
will Of the governor, who in this
case interpreted the law.
w. f. Allen, who was Mr..
Nugent's opponent, SAID he ap-
proved Of the action Of the com
mlttec Saturday and considered
that that recommendation was
equivalent to a nomination for
sheriff and he was too good a
democrat to destroy what the
committee had dOne-that Mr.
Nugent IS the nominee, and he SC
moved. Mr. Aliens manly words
created great applause.

The Great Western Exposition
Continued from Saturday.

Then, too, few people realize
that Nebraska is a fruit growing
state of magnificent realities,
that at the Centennial she car
ried off the premium for the best
apples, and her display of fruit
of all kinds in the horticultural
building is an Edenic dream.
Many years ago New York led
in the production of apples, then
Michigan took the lead, and now
the states of Iowa, Missouri, Ne
braska and Kansas are second to
none of the states of the union in
the production of this indispcnsa-
BILE fruit; Kansas leading in the
largest apple orchard in the
world.
We are reminded to say that
the Chicago, burlington and

Primitive House Lighting,

The first and most natural way of light
ing the houses Of the colonists was found in
the fat pitch-p.ne, which vas plentiful
everywhere; but as soon as domestic ami
n ais increased candles were made, and the
manufacture of the winter supply became
the special autumEal duty of the thrifty
housewife. Great kettles were hung over
the kitchen fire and filled with hot water
and melted tallow. At the cooler end of
the kitchen two long poles were placed
from chair back to chair back. Across
these poles, like the rounds of a ladder,
were placed shorter sticks, called candle
rods. To each candle-rod were tied about
dozen straight candle wicks The wicks
were dipped again and again, in regular
order, in the melted tallow, the success sion

such employment of able-bodied men II lust
so much subtracted from the productive
forces Of the country. Considering that the
number Of men required cannot be much
In excess Of 5000. altogether the drain will

are the cause of employment of others: Cor
armies must be fed and clothed as well as
paid. Every year 10000 men offer them
selves for enlistment in the army, and re-
cruiting officers can pick and choose. The
asp1rantS for enlistment include many
bright young Americans-no aliens will he
taken now-to whom the military career is
attractive.
Nor are tie Inducements in the way of
pay offered to be despised by able-bodied
young men who would otherwise be EN-
ployed in civil labor in the lower grades of
employment. While the private soldier be-
gins his service at sl3 month, his ray in

ice up to the sixth. when II is SIS Ser
geants in the line get as high as $50 a
month; in the engineers. ordnance and sig
nal corps pay runs at its highest, from 80
to $50 a month. To the educated man in
the ranks there is the chance to compete
for commission. The navy pay for men
before the mast and petty officers is higher

When we consider how much is supplied
gratis to the soldiers and sailors in the
way of food. lodging and medical attend

compares very favorably, for single men at
least. with the wages given in at least the
lower grades of mechanical employment.
Many soldiers and sailors. steady. tenn

during their service to begin a business ca
