A Flowery Brief.

A brief for the state in an early
Nebraska case INDUCES in the fol-
lowing prairie flowers of fancy:
Plaintiffs in error are afraid that
the honor and dignity of the state
will suffer. and they invoke for the
claimants broad principles of natural
equity. and the claim that neither the
laws governing courts nor the consti-
tuition apply to them. The logical Sc
quence is this-that persons who hold
claims against the state are favored
class, who can alone make wings of
Justice and right to fly to that mys-
tic region above and beyond the tram
mels of law, and where such unjust
things as contracts and written con-
stitutions do not exist: but where for
them straight and narrow pathway
leads to the treasury, whose doors,
without stint or delay, turn softly on
golden hinges to admit them. Yet if
l do not very much mistake this
court, these wings will unfeather in
their flight, and claimants against the
state must fall to common level with
all other litigants, and stand up to the
rack where is fed that good old fod'
der Of Justice and right as admin
istered by our courts"

Cure for Grip.

According to French physician an
attack of grip can be cured by cologne.
The prescription is also recommended
for colds, which at this season are so
stubborn and so common. To be effec-
tive the cologne must be used at the
very beginning of the disease. The
very best cologne is poured on hand
kerchief and the fumes instantly In
hailed through the nose and mouth. II
the trouble is concentrated IN the
throat the relief. it is said, is almost

or fifteen minutes may elapse. Twelve
hours is a fair test with the remedy

The big wheat farms of the Dako-

Beginning with the crop OF 1897.
the wheat has been good every year.
Not always has it been record-break'

it has returned great harvest. The
farmer estimates the cost of his crop
at $3.50 an acre; if he gets thirty
bushels an acre and sells 1t for Sc
cents he has profit of $3.50 an acre.
On 100 acres it is $3.50; on 1000
