Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent physi-
clan for an obstinate case of eczema,
i resorted TO the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied.entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
CutiCura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills.
When we Commenced with the Cuti-
cura Remedies her feet and limbs we're
covered with running sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble.
"In July Of this year n little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
amounting them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up. SO we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the

Does 1t Pay to Advertise

About one week and n half
ago, f. V. Hamilton of this
city had two horses to stray
away and by n acareful search
OF the country was unable to
find them and gave them up
for lost. But us n last re-
sort he put II notice in
two of the papers of this city
one being the Democrat and
today an Indian came to
his office, saying that he had
seen the notice in the Demo-
crat, and would bring the
horses in. He lives near
Apache on Cache creek and
is n subscriber to this paper.
This shows that whatever
it is that it pays to advertise
for no matter whether they
be black, brown or white
they read the Democrat.

At noon tbs all sunshine, so clear is the
sky,
The sums rays are burning direct from on
high
The winds now have blown from the south
land for days,
Barometers fall to their cistern relays.
The hot, weary horses are dragging a stage,
Sweltering along mid the greasewood and
Q, for relief from the dust and the heat
The journey must know no delay nor de-
Beyond in the distance the mountains APP
Buttes that seem ten are fifty miles in the
rear;
The skins sense of pressure portends
storm,
Tho no signs appear yet to pressage
alarm.
The stage carries the mail nigh to Jack
son hole,
One longs for draw or lee side of some
knoll.
The driver knows well that his shelter de-
ponds,
Some natural restraint to the loosened
winds.
See! the sky to the north begins to unfold.
A message so ominous signal behold,
a gust of cold air and few flakes Of
snow,
A blizzard is on us apace now we know
Notice the horses how their senses do tell,
For they understand things Of nature full
Whitening with fright not to the drivers
delight ,l
They know gainst the storm is to struggle
with might
No sheltering hand DER you, nothing but
space,
The winds and the furies are off in a race;
A snow fast and fine to dazzle the mind,
The landscape is changing TO nothing in
kind
The winds howl in anger. the snow cuts
with teeth fine,
suffocation seems only matter of time.
Full breath can't be taken, direction is
lost,
The mind most enthroned in oblivion tost.
What phantoms are these that spring up
and around
To add to the cold, to benumb and con-
found.
Unhitch the horses, lie down by their Sides
Let the snow drift and cover all as Il
glides,
The morrow may find you alive on the
trail,
Or the snow a glistening pail to ali hail.

BRYAN's NEW PLATFORM.
Mayor DRhlman Uses CIenvcr on De-
cRyed Timber.
New York Tribune


cRyed Timber.
New York Tribune.
According to the Hon. James c. Dahl
man, Nebraskas representative on the
democratic national committee, Mr.. Bryan
is going to run for president next year
on a greatly simplihed platform. Mr.. Dahl
man is an intimate friend Of Mr. Bryan,
and apparently talks by the card when he
describes the simplfcations which are to
be effected in current democratic doc
trine. 1t seems to have occurred to the
editor of the Commoner that he is carry
ing excess political baggage. When ne
returned from Europe last August he
found the democratic party in an unex-
pectedly receptive mood, and under the
spell of an expansive welcome he under
took to outline the terms under which
he would accept and exercise party leader
ship. The program he submitted was both
minute and comprehensive But though
the party had committed itself In advance
to all his policies 1t began at once to
criticise details in his summary, and lead
ers like Senators Rayner Daniel and Bal
ley and Representative John Sharp
Williams promptly said that II nominated
he must be nominated on a platform which
ignored his fundamental issue of govern
ment ownership and operation of the rail-
roads.
Mr.. Bryan has shown signs for some
months past Of firing of the government
ownership proposition. He has repeatedly
explained that he aims only at ultimate"
ownership and that he will be satisfied
with gradual" taking over of the in
strumentalities of interstate commerce. In
his Brooklyn speech last week he forgot
to talk about the railroad issue, and
dragged the referendum to the fore as
the sheet anchor of democratic faith and
the vital test OF democratic safety and
sanity. That mastery retreat from the
Chickahominy to the James seems TO have
been promptly interpreted by Mr.. Bryan's
home friends, for Mr.. Dahlman now as
sures us that government ownership and
operation Of the railroads will not trouble
the dreams of the resolutions committee
in the next democratic national conven-
ton. It is an ultimate" solution; let 1t
be ultimate" still, The free coinage of
silver at twice its market value is also
an ultimate" ideal It will be left for
some twenty-first century convention to
deal with "Anti-.mperialism" as an issue
is neither ultimate. penultimate nor ante
penultimate. II is a buried memory; let
It stay buried. But what is left to All the
void? Why, the tariff, of course. Tariff
reform will be a strong feature" says
Mr.. Dahlman. But so as not to interfere
with complete harmony the plank will be
moderately worded." Like Bottoms roar
It will not terrify the nerves of the most
sensitive who hear It. AS side issues the
democracy will present civil service re-
form, cessation In armament, the election
Of United States senators by direct vote
and strong foreign policy"

As I'D oENsus ESTIMATES.

The Bees criticism OF the made
quate and inaccurate guess at Ne
braska's population made by the Cen
sus bureau has received attention from
Director North with the admission
that the estimate for Nebraska is pal
pably wrong, and this excuse, that to
correct II in the official computations
is impossible because it would upset
the figures for the whole United States.
That may be good excuse, but it does
not make the census estimate of Ne
braska population any better, nor does
It square the inconsistency of the
bureau in subtracting 1879 from the
1890 figures for Omaha and Lincoln
and then including the same 1879
in its computations for the whole state.
The assumption by the Census bur
eau, furthermore, that Nebraska has
been subject to the same conditions OF
emigration by which Iowa suffered
positive loss of population since the
1900 census. as shown by It's state
census, is hardly warranted by the
facts. The most competent observers
insist that whatever exodus of farm
ers has taken place from Nebraska to
the west and to British Columbia has
been far more than made up by the in
coming immigration from the east and
the settlement of previously unoccu-
pied public lands. Yet the census es-
innate which gives the three cities Of
Omaha, Lincoln and South Omaha a
population increase since 1900 Of 40,-
439, credits Nebraska with an increase
OF only 2,184, or a positive loss out
side of these cities of $4,000.
In view of the admission of the Cen
sus bureau that it was only guessing.
this wide-of-the-mark estimate might
not be taken seriously we're it not to
be used in various connections as the
basis for other statistical computa-
tons 1t will be used as the chief
factor in figuring out the per capita
wealth and the per capita debt and the
per capita taxes of the state. 1t will
be used to show the number of people
per square mile, as it was in the recent
argument about the proposed 2-cent
fare law, and it will be used to deter
mine the rate of growth from year to
year. If the population estimate is
VIGOROUSLY wrong all of these deriva-
tive figures will be misleading.
II It is worth while for the Census
bureau to correct the return of the
1890 census for Omaha and Lincoln in
order to get a more accurate ratio for
its estimates, it ought to be worth
while making the same correction for
the purpose of getting closer to the
facts in its estimates of Nebraska pop
ulation.

CAR SHORTAGE AND COMPETITION

An Illuminating story comes from
New Orleans relating to the difficulties
of the lumbermen in the Teche dis
trict in Louisiana in securing cars to
transport their output, and the final
solution Of the problem. The Tech9
district contains the greatest producers
in the southern lumber district and
the lumber dealers have been suffer
ing from a car shortage for more than
a year. The price of lumber has ad-
yanced in all markets and the dealers
of the south and southwest have seen
fortunes in profits going from them
because unable to secure transporta
ton facilities. Finding appeals to the
ailroads in vain, the dealers finally de-
clded to go into the transportation
business on their own account The
result has been q determined effort on
the part of the railway companies to
relieve the car shortage.
The lumb ,rmen # the Teche dis
trict recently raised a fund of $780,
900 to improve the Atchafalya river
for a direct water route from their
district to New York. and secured as
surauces of cooperation from other
lumber dealers throughout the south.
At a receat conference in Memphis,
the dealers took preliminary steps to
organize q water transportation line
that would run direct from Memphis
to New York. for the benefit of the en-
tire lumber trade adjacent to the Mis-
Pissippi river and it's tributaries. The
railroad managers did not overlook
the meeting of the lumbermen, by
any means. Tho announcement is now
officially made that the railroads en-
teGing the lumber regions of the south
have agreed to spend a minimum Of
8S5, 900 900 within the next year in
extending tracks and improving ter
minal facilities in the lumber shipping
centers. and they have given wide pub
llcity TO the fact that they have placed
orders for 375 new locomotives and
$4,000 lumber cars, contracts calling
for the delivery of this additional
equipment before October / of the
present year.
The incident is noteworthy in view
of the agitation for the rehabilitation
OF the river transportation facilities
that formerly figured so conspicuously
in trafEie affairs in the west and south.
With the movement far enough along
to have spurred the railroad companies
70 provide relief of the car shortage
IN the south. II is hardly probable
that the shippers win be induced to
abandon their project for improve
ment OF the inland waterways. II
nero plans for such improvement have
already proved so valuable an asset In
