XEBUASKA "I WANT A GOOD COUGH SYBTJP" Is a very frequent request in our Trade and we invariably give the person making it BEGO'S CHERKV COUGH SYiimv as we know itto be the best and most reliable on the market. For eale by 31. A. Bpaldlngr and S. L. Green. A NOTED man says : "Put into my hands the money wasted in tobacco , in the United States , and I will clothe , feed and shelter all the suffering poor on this continent. " THE pope of Rome has made Omaha a see cit } ' . She was a port before. But now she is going to sec if she can't have her street cars warmed with a stove. She will also see if her gas cannot be fixed so she can sec after sun-down. A a HOST is reported to be looseback , in New Jersey , that kisses the girls. This is the first account of a rational act on tho part of a ghost that we have seen for'soinc time. Mo&t ghosts act as though they had parted with their senses. TIIEUB aie church members as hard t'o be revived as china eggs are under a setting hen. Theyill not warm , and they ( INcom.ijre the preacher : isecitiin- : ly as the china egg wears nut the hen that wastes her warmth. New Orleans Picayune. M. PASTEUII is daily receiving fresh accessions of ladies and gentlemen and children who have been bitten by mad dogs. The space at the hospital for this class of patients is getting scarce , and it will soon be necessary to have a special hospital for the hydrophobia pa tients of Pasteur. THE supreme court of Georgia main tains the triumph of the prohibitionists at Atlanta. It is now clearly illegalor will be as soon as present licenses ex pire , to sell or give away any liquor in Atlanta. The effort to enforce the law will be successful , and we shall see how a city of sixty thousand people can do without whiskey. EUROPE is in a most dangerous con dition. Every day is more clearly ex posing the nature of those intrigues which a month ago were not dreamed of. Mighty wars figure on the not distant horizon , as the sequence of an } ' sudden outburst of temper on the part of llus- sia and Austria , and Germany is now showing an unexpected attitude and a deeper interest in the Eastern imbrog- io than any one credited her with. COSTLV homes are not needed for comfort. Indeed , in them is not always found as much genuine happiness as there is in a humbletcottage of only two or three rooms. Kindness and content- nentdo more to make happy homes than gold. Some of the palatial homes are doubtless built to gratify pride , but .hat object is not always accomplished jecause , however fine and costly a home may besomebody is sure te build a finer and costlier one. A ORE AT a nd general scare about hy drophobia would be of great benefit to the United States , for nowhere else on this side of Constantinople arc there so many worthless cur dogs in proportion to the population. In the cities they are seldom seen , but no man can walk thro' a country town at night without being startled almost out of his life by dogb which rush yelping from doorways and seem intent on tearing some one to pieces. Dog laws do not greatly decrease the number. Poison seems the antidote and it cannot be too persistently admin istered. ANOTHER old political land mark has depaited , in the death of Gen. Kobert Toombs of Georgia. The general was an erratic , fiery southerner , somewhat prominent in congress in the years pre ceding the rebellion , but his principal notoriety in the north was made by his boast once upon a time that he would live "to call the roll of his slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill monument. " lie entered the confederate service when the war broke but , but was a failure as a campaigner and was at an early day relegated to the rear by Jeff Davis. lie had many generous traits , and his bark was always worse than his bite.
