Platte yesterday to intercept the first
fight of ducks and geese to the north.
The party was preceded by Jake Raincy,
who went down to prepare the camp
and have things in shape. Reports
from the camp are to the effect that
there are nc ducks yet and events may
prove that nothing but four large geese
were discovered. 1t lie said that the
Platte is open and that it is the highest
for 20 years. The flight of fowl is ex.
pected to be unusually large this year
when the the season opens.

An organization of young men calling
themselves the "Inissippi Club" have
rented a suit of three rooms upstairs in
the McClary block which they have
furnished in fine shape, with an organ
and games for amusement; the walls
decorated with pictures and everything
for comfort and convenience of the
membership. The object of the organ.
~ization is to have q comfortable and con.
venient place in which members may
spend an idle hour, day or evening
where they may read or write or indulge
in an innocent game. The members
assert that the intention of the club is
moral and refined, and that nothing of
an immoral or degrading nature will be
tolerated in the ooms. They hope the
rooms will prove a counter attraction to
saloons and other places of questionable
resort, where many young men have
been accustomed to spend their even.

They have very crude and oppres-

ness in Switzerland. About two years
ago the government bought the entire
railroad system of the nation and pro-
ceeded to show what it could do. After
increasing the wages, reducing the
hours of employees and reducing the
tariff to one-third of it's former rate
on both freight and passengers, the Of

railroad in the nation as often as you
please. as long AS you please, and at any
time within it's limit that you please
Did you ever hear of such oppression?
Was ever tyranny more tyrannous?
How thankful we should be that we live
in a free country where we have to pay
three cents mile to travel, have to use
the ticket on the day of purchase or
lose it, where we have to sign our names
and prove our identity to every conduct
or, where we are looked upon with sus-
picion whenever We present coupon

live in a free country, And what is
worse, the government of Switzerland

two thousands of years ago.
We all know that seven great Chris
tan nations have been deceived by the
sorceries of the gold standard manipu-

our children, know that the value of all

the man with the mark OF the beast,
that buys and sells. If gold, or the
beast mark wheat on exchange in New
York tomorrow at 80 cents per bushel
cnd a producer of wheat sends 1000
bushels there, freight, grading, weigh
ing, inspecting and commission is
charged up against it, then the word
OF money, the mark of the beast sells
and buys.
If that thousand bushels Of wheat
graded by private gold or money which
in buying and selling is equal to gold,
sells for one cent bushel less than the
charges against it, the beast draws on
the farmer for $40.
Who can buy or sell in this city?
None but those bearing the mark of

of the beast, that the people must wor-

it, killed.
Had the majority OF our legislators

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when it
is entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused BY
catarrh, which is nothing but an inf1amed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
can not be cured BY Halls Catarrh Cure.

State factory inspector of New York re-
ports as follows: Under the tenement
house system of manufacture our beneficent
laws restricting the hours of labor for all
women and minors and prohibiting the
employment of children are set at naught
The inducement of long hours of toll and
the utilization of child labor in order to
swell the pittance received from unscrup-
ulous manufacturers and contractors is I'M
doubtedly one of its most baneful evils
This condition can never be successfully or
wholly regulated in the home as it can be

manufacture is also unmixed evil from
a sanitary standpoint. The danger of the
contamination and of the wholesale spread
of disease result thereof is one of the
