Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1903-04-23

Lander, the poet, says in one of his
sweet little sonnets: 1--WE are what suns,
and winds, and waters make u.s." but
unfortunately suns will scorch, winds
Will roughen, and waters will not remove
the injurious effects of the other two
upon the lovely complexion of the fairer
sex. For ages chemists have tried to
distil from herbs and minerals an elixir
of beauty, but they have failed. and it
was left to modern times to find cos
metic which should remove every speck
loveliness upon the toughest skin. Con.
rauds Oriental Cream does this. and
while so perfectly harmless that spring
water is not more so, it has magic in.
huence upon the complexion which can
not be over estimated or believed until
realized. TO our lady readers we simply
say, would you be as lovely as kindly
Nature intended? Then use the Oriental

MARvELs OF CORN CULTURE.

Thousands of practical instances could be given to show the value of improved varieties of corn. For instance, ona southern Illinois farmer, more progress sive than the rest, was induced to se- cure enough improved seed to plant three hundred acres as result Of his study of corn in the Illinois college ok agriculture. These three hundred acres outyielded all of the other fields on his farm more than thirty bushels to an acre. This increase in yield meant a to- tai gain of about 5000 bushels, which represented a cash value of about $4. 900 that season. As this increase did nod represent an increased cost of produc- ton, the gain was pure profit. In anoth- CT case, farmer in central Illinois be- came interested in improved seed corn through the school of corn Judging In the Illinois Agricultural college He se- cured enough seed, grown by a corn breder, to plant eighty acres, As a re- suit, he raised almost twenty-five ,bush- els more an acree on this field than where the ordinary seed was planted.

GREAT ATTRACTIONS AT SAvIN ROCK THIS WEEK.

The Pleasure Wheel is Great Drawing Card and is Patronized by Hundreds Daily Vaudeville Company at Thea ter.
 The season has begun in earnest at this popular resort, everything is going full blast, the Old Mill has caught the
 fancy of the public and is crowded all

The following is a descrip- tion of the ride through the tunnel: 1 Down tiny river running serpen- l tine course through caves and grottos, with openings showing on either side beautiful scenes, the boat, loaded with passengers, drifts. At times we are gliding through a I subterranean passage to embark on a
 seemingly wide river or lake, with lofty
 mountains in the far distance. Again I've are swallowed up by dark and
 mysterious cavern, coming suddenly upon a charming marine view in the
 foreground of which groups of mer-
 maids are disporting in the tumbling breakers. Anon we drift past cotton plantation, where a quartette of living
 dariies are humping their banjos and
 singing the quaint old melodies of the l south.
 'At last we arrive within a few feet
 of the starting point, where we are in formed by a uniformed attendant that we had traversed a distance of but
 one thousand. feet and this in the space of three minutes" z4 The pleasure wheel is another of the
 new attractions that is doing well, also
 the wonderland and nerry-go-round. ! In fact, all the merchants in and around the Rock say business is great. At the theater this week great big
 vaudville company will appear, in-
 cluding the Majestic Instrumental

The Glorious Fourth was celebrated
 in this city with the usual patrioticAfer-
 vor and enthusiasm. The parade in the
 morning possessed some unique feat
 ures, and the paraders traversed sthe
 route with characteristic dash xand
 eclat. The brilliant sunshine and
 warmth of the day made 1t an ideal one
 for out of doors. and the trolleys lines
 did magnitudinous business. The
 number of pleasure seekers at Savin, Rock was greater than had dlcongregated ever before at that popular resort. The
 small boy was everywhere in his glory. The fireworks in the evening9drew a
 tremendous concourse to the.c centra1
 green, and the pyrotechnicaI display was greatly enjoyed by the multitude. A splendid musical programme was rendered by the Second regiment band,
 but the blare of the brass couldehardiy be heard above the din of the syoung- sters blank bombardmenr.
 Just before the close of thes fireworks display two alarms of fire were sound- ed, one immediately after the other, and the great throng of people hurried and scurried to the scenes of the confiagra- tions, making a panorama as unique and interesting as were the preceding features of the evening"
 During the day many enjoyed, them-
 selves on the water Fifteen hundred excursionists enjoyed sail to and from the mouth of the Connecticut river. The trip was made by the Richard Peck. From up the state more than .000 ex- cursionists came to this city and went to Savin Rock.

VEGETABLE HABITS IN cALIFoR- MT A i

Every blade of grass, every flower and tree has learned in California a different habit from that of it's own family in the eastern states that is. those whose families are represented at all in that intemperate zone. It Is a. wonderful story of botanic promotions, which would make a fascinating book "all by it's lonesome" Out here the east ern annuals learn to be perennials: tho eastern herbs graduate to bushes; the eastern bushes burgeon out as trees. For little instance: Many who read this will remember, as I do, the elderberry bush of back east; here the elderberry becomes tree, and cut one down on my own place which was nineteen inches in diameter-cut it down because of it's interference with lordly syca- more, each one of whose four trunks was nearly twice as large.

RusfiC Work.

Sooner or later every owner OF q
country home runs up against the IDEA
of rustic work Generally it hits him
hard-sometimes too hard. II you
really need seats or summer houses
In your woodland nothing can be. more
appropriate than logs with the bark
On, because they harmonic with the
growing trees, says Country Life In
America. This is the real secret OF
the popularity Of rustic work-its 1T
ness. It is opposed to costlier and
more architectural features which
make a strong contrast with natural
surroundings. Occasionally, however,
you will find a man who has fallen
head over heels in love with rustic
work for it's own sake. The consequ-
ence is that he fills the lawn in front
Of his house with all sorts Of rustic
impossibilities, which look doubly
foolish because they have no earthly
use and because they are out In
sunny spot in the midst Of an enviro-
ment which Is civilization rather than
natrue.

The New York Central's Empire State
Express is recognized as the swiftest. and
Surest train operated by Americas great
est railroad, and considered the very best
means to cover the ground in the time
required. 1t is for this reason that the
Harvard University football team named
their best and surest play of the season
of 1902 the Empire State Express" for
they believed it to be the most reliable
play in their program. 1t was success
full throughout the season until it met
Yales "20th Century Limited" play,
which, was just as swift, safe and sure,
but had longer endurance and was ''lim-
tied" only by the size of the field. The
names Of the rival teams very correctly
describe the difference in the famous
trains, the Empire State" running only
from New York to Buffalo, while the
'20th Century Limited" makes the $50
miles between New York and Chicago in
twenty hours every day of the year.
Great is the New York Central and great
are the trains it operates-swift, safe and
reliable.-From the Brooklyn Standard

No Place for the Doctor.

A physician whose belief in the flu
ture accords with that Of the late Col.
Ingersoll had occasion recently to per-
form q surgical operation upon a man
not select in his language. After ether
izing his patient the operation was sue
cessfully performed. When the effect
Of the ether had passed off, the subject,
looking wildly around the room, ex-
claimed: Where am IT' The doctor
replied: ooh, you are all right "But,"
said the man, II may be all right, but
where am I?' The doctor answered
jocularly: "In heaven" The patient
responded: IF that's so, I'd like to
know what you are doing here"
