Track laying on the Missouri Pacific railroad extension is now within about five miles of the city, as was observed by parties who visited that locality yesterday. The rapid progress of the work has been, somewhat interfered with by a temporary scarcsty of iron, but this impediment will be of short duration. The track will no doubt be laid into the city as soon as the ground is ready for it here. Hastings Gazette Journal . ThelSew York World, Henry George, and the Hon. Frank Hurd all propose to rub free trade into, the raw. sides of democracy. Hurd and George declare that the president is, for free trade, and the World gives notice that Mfrom time to time it will republish the presidents' special message" on free trade in wool. Of the national political conventions held since the war Chicago has had four, Cincinnati three, and Philadelphia, St. Lonis and New York one each. Previous to the war Baltimore was a great conven tion city, and the democratic convention which ratified the nomination of Horace Greeley at Cincinnati in 1872 was held at Baltimore. The first republican conven tion was held at Pittsburg. A country editor in Missouri has been doing some thinking lately with the fol lowing unique result: "An editor works 265 days in' a year to get put 52 issues of a paper; that's labor. Once in a while a subscriber pays a year in advance for his paper that's tcapital f and ence in a while some son-of- ii-sea-cooK oi jt aeaa-Deat taKes tne paper for two or raree years then skips ou without payi ng for irfthat'a anrchy A nsmpd jinim.il that's hell." The language is not remarkable grace, but is vigorous and conveys excellent quality of truth. Friend, this paper is not printei clusively for you; that's why you like all of it. You say: "There's? article that's no good," and you don't i it, but the one in the next column plea you first rate. Your neighbor isn't bui like you. lne article you nue ne con demns, and reads with interest the one you didn't like. Now do you see? If you want a newspaper to suit yourself, you'll have to edit one. An American who saw the Mikado of Japan at Tokio recently says : "He sat in lonely state, a dark-featured, black haired, thick-lipped man, dressed in the uniform of a European general, and with nothing grand in his make-up or appear ance. The absolute monarch of 36,000,000 people in a tight-fitting,' gold-laced blue coat and a French shake for a cap . Li Hung Chang, the Viceroy of China, is six feet tall, sixty-five years old, well built, graj, and swarthy; his eyes are dark and pearcing, and his teth dark and uneven. When receiving American guests he wears a gray Astrakhan surtout with long rlowiug sleeves, loose silken trousers, felt shoes, and a flaring hat, with a button of his rank on the top, and a peacock's feather sticking out behind. He is to the Emperor of China what Bismarck is to the Emperor of Germany. No other country on the face of the earth can boast of a climate to com pare with western Nebraska and eastern Color ado. During the past winter only twenty days were cold enough to distinguish a difference from October weather in Wis consin or Illinois. No storms occurred similar to what was'experienced in eastern Nebraska and the eastern states. Other winters for the past twenty-two years were almost exactly similar to the one just passed. Plowing was successfully done, even to breaking prairie, for at least sev eral days during every month of 1837, and wheat was sown in January of the present year. Farmers calling at this office report from five to fifty acres of plowing accom-. plished, and in many cases spring worj about half done. Beef cattle are brougi in from the open prairie every day, a are fully as fat as any corn-fed Iowa Illinois cattle, after a winter of unu severity. Without a spear of ha cornstalks to eat, cattle are in better dition than corn- fed beeves in Iowa, w! snows and cold keep them poor, above statement will be contradicti, men who never saw Western Nel; but by none other, as all who wer dents of Iowa during a winter sitn the one just passed will bear w! their accuracy. Land as fertile famed valley of the Nile may be ed at from $4 to $3 per acre in :j where the sun shines more d; year than in any of the eastern Keith County News. CVS . 7 A Serious Accident. Ab Frank Ford was driving rapidly on Sunday about eight miles north of town, the coupling ot the buggy suddenly parts;! and the horses dashed away with the front wheels, leaving the occupants imprisoned under the remainder of the vehicle. They soon extricated them selves with only a few bruises. In the mean time the horses dashed down the road at a fearful rate and after running aboilt two miles, overtook a buggy occu pied by L. Calkins, who being somewhat hard of hearing did not observe the approaching teum, until it had crashed into the buggy. The collision was a terrific one, completely demolishing the DUSgy and throwing Mr. Calkins some distance to the ground. He was. carried tout, farm house ,ji ear byJoAdbplwv condition, and a doctor immediately seat for. It was found that he had suffered a serious fracture of the shoulder blade be sides a numer of minor cuts and bruises. Mr. Calkins is near 70 years of age, and perhaps sustained more injury from the nervous shock than from the actual wounds- His case it serious. Broken Bow Statesman. One Way of Looking- at it. The shrewdest investors in Nebraska real estate are beginning to turn their at tention to farm lands, which have been a good deal neglected during the past four years and are away behind in comparative value . It is a fact that no intelligent man will dispute that farm lands are now cheap that they may be had below their actual worth, ut less than their intrinsic value. The reason is plain. Our econo mic S3'stem, that compelsour farmers to sell their products in the cheapest mark-, ets in the world and buy in the highest, has had the effect to depress the value of farm lands and farm work. That there will be a modification of this system to a greater or less degree admits of no possi ble doubt. The least relaxation of the iron clad restriction upon agriculture will at once be followed by a rise in the value of agricultural lands. A complete eman cipation of the farmer from the burden of the the tariff would make him as he ought to be by virtue of his calling and his position a. the foundation stone of society the strongest mi richest, the most in time immemorial he. of the world. down ai 'HI Accoants solicited and prompt atfentioa givea to all bosiaess entrusted to its 'care.

Martin Irons, leader of the Knights of Labor during the -Missouri Pacific strike two years ago, who has been on trial here on the charge of tapping the telegraph wires feloniously during the strike, was acquitted to-day. Worth, the French milliner, lives in the , suburbs of Paris in a place that covers several acres and is gorgeously furnished. . Once a year it is thrown open to his em ployes, and the fete lasts a day and a night. On this day each of the-wome employed by Worth is permttted to select a dress from his stock, and it is made up according to her directions. A dispatch from Reading, Pa., says: "the impending strikeof the brotherhood of locomotive eaeineers on theCklcac. on me rteaamr tm nositinns rinrinrr throat troubles. of Labor, and most of their po3itions were obtained by brotherhood men, whom they supplanted ten years before. They now propose to retaliate. In case of a strike on the Chicago & Quincy road then pro pose offering themselves for the places of the striking brotherhood men." This is corroborative of a. report which has been current in Chicago this evening. A farmer in Madison county thinks' he has found a sure preventive against the death of hogs by the so-called "cholera." He explains it thus: Between the front teeth and the grinders there is a space of two or three inches, and in this space under the gum of every diseased hog will be found a pocket of poisonous substance. To remove this, take a cold chisel and hammer and cut this bottle of poison out. He says that previous to adopting this device he had lost 73 hogs, but since adopting it he has not lost a single hog, and those of his neighbors who have tried the same operation.report the same favor able results. As everything else has proved worthless, it certainly will not be very expensive to make the experiment Said Mr. Bowditch, the druggist, with a merrv twinkle in his eye, "I'va-got some knowim v. mm - a-.l it, l nit
