mothers, though unconscious of the
fact, are themselves the cause of much
suffering from this painful malady in
their children. In her anxiety to have
the child's ears clean a mother Will
sometimes endeavor to remove every
particle of ear wax from the inner
portion of the ear. and to accomplish
this to her own satisfaction will some
times use hairDin covered with the
towel or the towel itself twisted to
a point, says an exchange.
1t is unnecessary and wrong to re-
move every particle of this wax. The
membrane lining the canal of the ear
contains great number of little glands
which secrete this waxy substance, and
the purpose OF this is to prevent the
entrance of insects and keep the ear
clean. The layers of wax dry in
scales, which rapidly fall away and re-
move with the many particle of dust
or other foreign matter which may have
found entrance to the ear.
Be contented when you have made
the child's eais thoroughly dry and
leave nature to attend to her own bus
mess. In a case of earache nothing
more irritating than a few drops of
olive oil warmed to a temperature of
blood heat should ever be placed in the
ear.

New Enterprise Launched.

An enterprise enlisting the influence
and money of a number of successful
business men was launched in Gordon
last week, styled the Niobrara Land
and Sheep company of Gordon. The
capital stock Of the company is placed
at 500, 900, and already land has been
purchased and leased extending from
within a mile from Gordon to the Mo
brara river, ten miles distant. The
range has a river front of about FIVE
miles, insuring plenty Of water, and
with the addition of rough feed raised
by farmers ii is thought there will be
an abundance of pasture for several
very large bands of sheep. The sheep
industry has proved very profitable in
that vicinity in recent years, and some
of the most successful sheepmen are in
the present undertaking.

ORGANIZED RAID ON STORES.
Merchants at Neigh Suffer Through the,
Work of Thieves.

Neigh was visited recently by four
of the light fingered gentry. They
went in pairs and visited the stores,
where one would engage n of tho
clerks, If only two were in charge, and
the other would abstract some goods
and slip out with them. Miss Bolon,
Of the firm of Bolon & Golf, was alone,
and while one of the thieves had her
engaged in showing him some goods
the other carried off two pieces of
dress goods and the other, as he vas
going off, attempted to carry off IN
other piece, but Miss Bolon made him
give it up and organized a pursuit.
The ones who had stolen her goods es-
capped and the other two were arrested
and lodged in Jail. The mes who es-
capped were finally traced to Clearwater
where it transpired that they had been
boarding at the hotel for some days.
and were engaged in disposing of vari-
Gus kinds of merchandise at very low
prices. The sheriff and his deputy fol-
lowed them south, but finally lost track
of them and returned home. The two
who are in Jail are being held for Nor
folk parties to identify, having pre-
sumably stolen goods from them soms
time ago.

Light without Heat.

Heatless light for illumination Is a
possibility Of the near future. Exper-
iments have recently been conducted
with the we'll known Geissler tubes by
which rarefed air or other gas is rem
dered luminous by an electric current.
Recent Investigations show that light
sufficient to read by can be obtained in
a practical way, although at an ex-
penditure of considerably more W
than Is necessary for the i%ncandescent
or arc lights. There are indications.
however, that some form of the Cess
Ter tube will be developed for practical
use. In surgery. there can be no ques-
ton as to its value. as by Its use It will
be possible to pursue Investigations in
the cavities Of the human body which
at present a only be imperfectly car
ried on, owing to the heat developed by
the ~incandescent light.-Boston Trans

Friday, March 10.

The reaction from the senatorial
fight was not felt to any alarming cx-
tent in the house yesterday. for the
members went to work as IL they had
but n few more days on earth. and as
IL each hour must be filed with work.
To begin with the standing commit
tees reported enough bills to keep the
house at work in committee OF the
whole for almost n month. Then the
members took up bills on passage and
went through n long list. cleaning up
all the measures which had been re-
ported from the committee on en-
rolled and cngrossed bills. This kept
them In session till 5 o'clock, when
they adjourned.
The adjournment was till next Tues
day morning at II o'clock, the motion
previously made to adjourn this even
ing til Tuesday, being reconsidercd
and the other motion carrying.
Among the bills passed yesterday by
the house was Weaver's insurance bill
giving the control of the insurance de-
partment of tho state into the hands
of the governors; and taxes insurance
companies on gross premiums. This
measure received cIghty-six votes. and
only two were east in the negative.
The only bills favorably acted upon
were measures for the payment of in
terest aud principal of real estate
mortgages, providing for the appoint
ment Of some fiscal agent to receive
the same for the mortgage; appropri-
ating S35, 900 for a new building at
Peru; permitting county attor ncys TO
follow county cases taken from the
county on change of venue: permit
ting irrigation bond coupons and
district warrants To- be applied upon
taxes owing the district; permitting
the Omaha board of education to fix
the tax levy for the district instead of
| the city council.
A bill by Fisher to provide for the
printing of school district officers hav-
ing public money in charge. of annual
statements OF the same was killed, re-
ceiving only twenty five votes. Flynn's
bill providing for boards OF arbitration
in labor disputes also failed To secure
the necessary number of votes.
