Great Damage by Rain Storm.

CHADRoN, NEB., June 1O.-For three hours
today rain fell in torrents in Chadron and vi
cinity. The sewers were unable to carry the
water off, and all easements and cellars are
flooded. The rain was accompanied by a
heavy hail storm Some houses in the low
part of the town were inundated, but the oc-
cupanis were rescued.
Meagre reports from the country indicate
great damage to crops and stock. There were
many narrow escapes from drowning in the
canyons north of town. 1t was the heaviest
rainfall ever known in Dawes county.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.


All Doctors have tried to cure Catarr h
by the use of powders, acid gases, in
halers and drugs In paste form. Their
powders dry up the mucous mem branes,
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same men,
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while pastes and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and expert
enced practitioner who has for many
years mace close study and speciality Of
the treatment Of Catarrh, has at last per-
fected Treatment which, when faithful
ly used, not only relieves at once, but
permanently cures Catarrh, by removing
the cause, stopping the discharges, and
curing all Inflammation. 1t Is the only
remedy known to science that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This wonder
full remedy is known as "SNUFFLEs, the
GUARANTEED CATARRH CURE" and Is sold
at the extremely low price of One Dollar,
each package containing internal and ex-
ternal medicine sufficient for full months
treatment and everything necessary to its
perfect cure.
"Snuffies" Is the only perfect Catarrh
Cure ever made, and is now recognized as
the only safe and positive cure for that
annoying and disgusting disease. 1t cures
all inflammation quickly and permanently,
and Is also wonderfully quick to relieve
Hay Fever or Cold In the Head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads to
"Snuffles" will save you II
you use it at once. 1t Is no ordinary
remedy, but complete treatment which
Is positively guaranteed to cure Catarrh
in any form or stage II used according to
the directions which accompany each
package. Don't delay but send for 1t at
once, and write full particulars as to your
condition, and you will receive special ad-
vice from the discoverer of this wonderful
remedy regarding your case without cost

fles," the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure"

the higher places and deposits the
earth thus collected In the lower places
or dcpressiOns. A comparatively level
field is thus reduced to series of ia
bles called water levels. These tables
are then irrigated at intervals, as re-
quired, during the growing season, as
the water on ground thus prepared
may be made to flow even in drill
marks.
Undertaking is often a necessary
accompaniment which adds consider
ably to the expense, though, il proper
ly done on suitable soil, the resultant
crops may be doubled or even increas-
ed threefold.
Another great improvement in spe-
cific machinery Is in facilities for han
ding the great American corn crop in
its varied branches, kinds and grades.
This has attained such a degree of per-
lection that crop that was once ma
nipulated entirely by manual labor is
now in some places never touched by
hand, from the planting of the seed to
the weighing of the yield.
1t would be difficult indeed to men,
ton one item in a subject like this that
would be of more general interest than
others. The thousands, we might say
millions, who visit the Exposition must
each make their individual selection
and follow where their inclination
leads them. Ii they have time enough
at their disposal, they will, no doubt,
find what interests them most, and, no
matter what it is, they will find it
represented in a manner that is at once
comprehensive and valuable.

AGRICULTURE.
HOW IT WILL BE REPRESENTED AT
THE PAN-A..E RlCAN.

The Most Elaborate Display of All
Interests Connected With the Soil,
Embracing Every Product of the
Farm and Articles manufactured
Therefr0m.
Since prehistoric times agriculture
has been the most important industry
in all American countries. In the
United States about one-half of the
population is now engaged in some &C.
cupation connected with the cultivation
of the soil. With proper consideration
of these vast and growing interests,
the managers of the Pan-American
have dedicated more than half of the
Exposition space to the products Of
the farm and the many articles manu-
featured therefrom.
The Agricultural building is one Of
the largest and handsomest on the
grounds, while tie Dairy building,
with it's contents, is a fair in itself.
Sixteen separate buildings are devoted
to live stock besides model stable
that is practically and scientifically in
advance of anything so far attempted.
Besides all this, one-quarter of the
great Liberal Arts building is devoted
to food products, and many of the ex-
hibits in other parts Of the building
may be traced directly or indirectly to
the soil.
The Stadium with it's one-quarter
mile track will be devoted at certain
70 f1,n Of
including many kinds of animals not
generally considered in the latitude Of
Buffalo as belonging to the farm.
One of the most elaborate HOrticul-
tural buildings ever planned stands in
a conspicuous section of the grounds,
which will be stocked with such lux
urious assortment of fruits from every
section Of North and South American
countries as to easily outclass any for
mer attempt in this direction.
Forestry is represented in charac-
teristic building, built of logs. which is
in itself typical of natures spontaneous
outgrowth for the preservation and con-
servation Of moisture. Exhibits con-
tanned in this odd structure will show
how subtle is the connection between
successful farming and a proper forest
preserve.
In the windmill section will be shown
many varieties of the latest and best
samples of this useful power generator,
together with useful applications of
this inexpensive energy to the relief
and profit Of the farmer in many
branches of agricultural business.
We now come to tie Machinery and

The residents of this new possession
of the United States are wide awake to
the fact that their interests will be well
served by display of the Islands re-
sources. An appropriation of $4,000
has been made for a building and an
exhibit. The building, which will have
a desirable location in the Court Of
State and Foreign buildings, will be in
the form of a kiosk a one story struc-
ture, with a cupola, 10 feet in height.
The building will be constructed en-
tirely Of native woods of all varieties,
the floor being of hard wood thing. 1t
will be quite imposing. the Moorish
style Of architecture being followed.
In the kiosk will be shown the work
of women. such as embroidery, drawn

be a coffee and cigar stand, where Por-
to Rican coffee will be made and served

Speaking of w. II. c'Coin') Harvey.
q Chicago man said:
IAN amusing incident took place
while Harvey was editor of Coin. a pa
per which he published in Chicago.
Harvey, in talking to one of his part
ners, took exception to the want Of
punctuation in the paper. There isn't
enough punctuation he complained,
and Coin doesn't look right without it.
There ought to be a comma once in so
often. then so often a colon, and all
the rest. Don't you think SOP he wound
up appealingly.
"'I do, indeed heartily replied the
partner. who was not wholly devoid of
humor. That's a great idea of yours,

I'D draw up rule to that effect.

thought commended itself. The next
day. therefore, rule reading some
what as follows was posted in the Of
fee of Coin: Hereafter it is the rule of
this office that articles appearing in the
columns Of this paper must be punctu-
ated as follows: Every ~ words shall

foot Of which is replete with elaborate
decorations in both design and color.
No machinery exhibit ever had such
provision made for it's reception, and
no former collection in this line, wheth-
much attention.
This whole building will be alive with
motion of every known variety-circu-
lar, oscillating. compensating, cam, &C.
centric ellipse, epicyclic and almost ev-
cry other motion known in modern me-
chanics. Most of these intricacies will
be found embodied in the different me-
chanical movements that are instru-
mental in tightening the American
farmers labor, thereby placing him at
an advantage in his inevitable compe-
tition with cheap labor in Europe.
Machinery that is more intimately
connected with farm work is housed
in the Stadium, as this structure alone
affords sufficient room for the size and
diversity of this exhibit. Floor space
to the amount Of $4,000 square feet in
this modern coliseum Is provided
with electric power for the purpose of
chimes displayed in this building.
Machinery Is represented here that
prepares the soil, sows the seed, cult
Yates the growing plants, even to weed
ing the hoe crop, and finally harvests
the ripened product, separates the kerr
mel from the stalk and divides the seeds
into grades, as required.
Lichens and MOSES from the far
North, hardy north temperate grains,
fruits and roots, temperate American
Indian corn, winter wheat and their al
lied products, as well as Southern rice,
Kaftir corn, cotton and a thousand 9TH
er modern necessities, will all have
their respective connecting mechanism
representations in this elaborate ma
chinery section that is destined to tell
the story Of our modern diversified
country life in a much more eloquent
manner than our vocabulary is capable
Of doing. Besides these general. divi-
sions, specific cases are carefully con-
sidered. Irrigation is such an impcr-
tant adjunct to modern farming. even
in the sections that are not considered
arid. that especial machinery is now in
practical use that few years ago was
never thoughtsof.

The kiosk will also contain the offices
of the Porto Rican commissioners, and
it will be general headquarters for in
formation concerning the country.
The Island will have 1900 square feet
of space in the Agriculture building
and the same space in the Horticulture
building for exhibits.
Most of the space allotted to the Is
land in the Agriculture building will be
occupied by comprehensive exhibit Of
sugar, coffee and tobacco in various
stages of growth and manufacture.
Nearly every species Of plants and
trees of the Island which will bear
transportation will be sent to Buffalo.
Besides everything produced and
manufactured on the Island, instruct
i've tables of information have been
prepared which will be invaluable to

A MOUNTAIN LAKE.

Oh, limpid listener, in your placid soul
Are mingled all the songs that brooks have sung
When years and years, the shaggy hills among,
They babbled of their trials, with foamy tears,
Until, all wearied. having reached their goal,
You softly soothed their sorrows and their fears.
Like sentinels the stolid mountains stand
About you, dres't in garb of gorgeous green;
At early dawn their mirrored shapes are seen
In shimmering outline, painted by the sun,
Upon your face, athwart the cleaning sand,
Nor fade from view until the day is done.
A fitting figure of eternal rest
You typify the changeless fate of man
When, having coursed mortality's brief span
Adown the hills of Time, his life shall end,
And all his doings, be they banned or blest,
Forevermore, with other deeds, shall blend.
