WHATS in a Name?

Everything is in the name when it
comes to Witch Hazel Salve. e. C.
Dewitt & Co. of Chicago, discovered,
some years ago, how to make a salve
from Witch Hazel that is a specific for
piles. For blind, bleeding. itching and
protruding piles, eczema, cuts, burns,
bruises and all skin diseases DeWitt's
Salye has no equal. This has given
rise to numerous worthless counter
feits. Ask for DeWitt's-the genuine.

fertile Ponca valley to Bonesteel, S. D., at
the edge of an undeveloped region of great
promise. where is the Elkhorn headed
for?" is one Of the walking interrogations
i'm this region. The shrewdest guess Of
fercd is that it is travelling in the path of
Lewis and Clark and will parallel the Mis-
souri, river at a short distance from that
stream, as 1t already has a road into the
Black Hills, and there would seem no OBJ
ject in building another. II this surmise
proves true 1t will bring Omaha into imme-
date rail connection with both South and
North Dakota west of the Missouri river
and make it by many hours the closest
large city to that vast region which has
hitherto traded with Sioux City, st. Paul or
Chicago. Will the old dream Of commerce
down the Missouri come true and the trade
of the Louisiana Purchase seek the sea
down hill instead OF crossing half a dozen
divides. but seek it on steel rails instead OF
uncertain waters? Mighty question for the
h~ustling Omaha business man as well as
the dreamer by the shore OF unnavigated

full embryo city in 1857 Niobrara was
transformed into a collection of deserted
shacks by the Pixies Peak excitement of
1859. The whole town literally got up and
moved off on the trail for Pixies Peak, leay-
ing Mr.. Lamont to run his own city gov

public improvements. 1t would be interest

Pixies Peak found their fortune at the end

half-section of Niobrara bottom, where he
has just sold the railroad land for depot

In Mr.. LGmont's back yard is an historic
old cannon, survivor of forty or fifty years
of service on the frontier. Some say it
was abandoned by General Harvey while
marching across this region in 1860, its old
fashioned carriage making it little suited
to field work. In 1S67-7S it is found at the
old POnca Indian Agency, three miles away.

Ed Fry of the Niobrara Pioneer is inclined

dispute between colonies on a war topic
