Beats the Klondike.

Mr. A q Thomas, of Marysville, Tex,
has found more valuable discovery
than has yet been made in the Klon-
dixie. For years he suffered untold
agony from consumption, accompanied
by hemorrhages; and was absolutely
cur ed by DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. He
d eclares that gold is of little value in
comparison with the marvellous cure;
would have it, even if 1T cost a hundred
dollars bottle. Asthma, Bronchitis
and all throat and lung affections are
positively cured by DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption. Trial

Number The Buildings.

Missouri Valley has now reached the
condition of necessity to have the
buildings all properly numbered. 1t is
almost impossible to conduct water
system for buildings without q systema-
tic number on each building. It was
once commenced, but for some reason
never completed, and now the work
should be finished. Our city has q
splendid system of waterworks and
soon every street will be properly sup
piled with mains and hydrants, but to
secure complete system let each
building be known by proper mum
Der, SO the water commissioner can
book the same and keep proper re-
ceipt.

Two Hours In The Lead.

Whether or not the records establish
ed by the competing Chicago Omaha
roads which are now operating fast
mail trains between the two cities
mentioned above, in anyway tends to
influence the United States govern
ment In awarding its fast mail con-
tracts, yet remains mooted and un-
settled question amongst railroad men.
II the efforts which the Northwestern
railroad company is putting forth to
secure the mail award prove fruitless,
the company will find deal of solace
In pointing long index finger to the
fact that for the first thirty-five days
racing, they beat all other competitors
over two hours, that is figuring arriv
ing time at the end of the run as q
basis. Since the new fast mail was
put into service on the North w esteru
the first day of January, it has been
in the aggregate two hours and twenty
minutes late against the Burlington's
the company holding the contract, toul
hours and thirty-two minutes late.

The vast armies kept standing in
Europe are tremendous burden on
the people. 1t has been estimated that
Europe pays yearly for the msinten-
ance of its fleets and armies the sum
Of 81, 1876 ZOO, 900, and nearly as much
again in the guise Of interest on debts
contracted for the prosecution of for.
eign wars. More than one third of all
the national revenues are annually
swallowed up by the budgets of the
army and navy, and increase is still
the order of the day. In the countries
of the dual and triple alliances, and in
Spain and England taken together, the
amount absorbed in one year by mill
tary preparation is 1876, 600, 900, COM
pared with 1856 5,OOO,O 600 allotted to edu-
cational purposes.
