It can be done by persistent, judicious newspaper advertising. No other means will do it. According to the News-Press of St. Joseph, that city is also filled with poets. That paper recently invited its readers to contribute rhymes and nearly everybody responded.

The Jamestown exposition seems to be a bigger financial failure than the rule among such enterprises. It was too far removed from the center of western activity and generosity to win the good fortune of only an average failure. Tecumseh barbers who raised their rates some time ago, have restored lower prices. This is the Arst report of reduced prices in several years, and therefore is worth noticing. Most prices are on the move, but headed up instead of down.

Fremont business men and capitalists are setting a good example by donning overalls and turning out to labor at clearing away the debris caused by the fire that destroyed the Normal. This worthy action follows the impossibility to hire regular laborers. A Gage county agriculturist points to wheat at 93 cents, oats at 45 cents, corn 50 cents, eggs 17 cents and butter 21 cents as good reason why farmers should feel satisfied with the world. He says it is no wonder they are not interested in politics. They are too busy and too prosperous to build up discontent.

Following the conflagration which destroyed Fremont's Normal college building, the Herald of that city renews its demand for a paid fire department. It credits the volunteer Bremen with valiant service, but as they are clerks and business men scattered over the city they are unable to respond as promptly nor accomplish results as quickly as would a small number of paid, trained firemen who have nothing to do but keep apparatus in order and rush to a fire when an alarm is sounded. The county fair might well be made the occasion of special effort to win trade for the city. Invite people to the stores to inspect new fall and winter goods, and be attentive to the matter of making the visit pleasant for all. It would be wise if each bueiness house could have a "rest in which tired mothers and children could find comfort.

By judicious effort fair week could be taken advantage of to enlarge fall trade, and not only direct profit would be realized, but the advertising would bring returns long afterwards. Twenty cases of smallpox, all in a mild form, have broken out among children who have been attending the Brown Park school in South Omaha. It is such a mild type of the Harmful and Helpful Drugging By DR. HUBBARD, Roosevelt Hospital, 1 New York City. It is hardly fair to say that medicine does nO good.

Certain diseases depend entirely upon medical treatment, and, if left to a simple nature cure, would overwhelm 1.9. I refer to such discases as diphtheria, malarial fever, rheumatism with heart complications, and others. The fact that many drugs are useless does not necessarily mean that all drugs are useless. Discrimination and in medicine much depends upon knowledge and must be displayed, judgment. the past few years there has been a marked spirit of laissez During faire displayed in the practice of medicine.

The pendulum often swings far in one direction as it does in the other. Medicine has as much too its cycles just as have the drama, music, fashion, or anything else absorbhuman interest. There are periods when too much medicine is ing to and others when there i is not enough given. It might be administered, said that there are fads in medicine as there are i in less important things in life. The present fashion is the continental one; the physician lights his pipe and waits for the patient to die; he may obtain an autopsy.

His is to verify his diagnosis. If he discovers that he object apparently he is satisfied. The comfort of the patient, the cure of guessed right, the disease, if possible, are minor considerations. Too much medicine, like anything else, may prove harmful rather than beneficial, and there is no doubt that we are rapidly becoming convinced that only so much is required. In the future less medicine will be used, but what is employed will have a specific action.

The general public has to be taught that indiscriminate drugging is harmful. Like every other lesson, this takes time to impress. There are several absolute specifics which prove the efficacy of internal medicine, such as quinine, salicylic acid, mercury, and various anti-toxins. Then again, in many diseases, such as typhoid fever, more depends on intelligent nursing and proper feeding than on the medicine employed; yet it would be impossible to do without medicine for certain symptoms of these diseases, which demand immediate relief. disease that it did not arouse suspicion until it had been generally spread.

That is the difficulty in preventing contagious diseases from becoming epidemic. A few mild, cases may pass with little notice and without correct diagnosis, but they may cause an outbreak of a malignant type. The fall of the year when certain ugly diseases are especially encouraged to develop, Is the time for precaution. There is still complaint of reckless bicycle riding on the sidewalks. One night recently a citizen, walking with his wife and wheeling baby in a carriage, was compelled to move a his family into the street to allow a bicycle rider to pass.

It seems there is an ordinance which allows bicycles to use the walks when the streets are muddy, but it appears that the walks are used for that purpose regardless of the weather, and thus the ordinance is only observed during or immediately after a fall of rain. If the privilege to ride on walks when the streets are wet continues to be abused, the ordinance ought to be repealed, and a rule to keep wheels off the walks altogether strictly enforced. The Sherman county parents who to town and left their two children, one 9 years and the other 5, on the farm alone, and on returning found them, half dead, buried under a pile of deed of some something no parent should be guilty of doing. Children of such ages should never be left alone to defend themselves and the premises against possible intrusion. Besides the risk of being visited by a fiend, fires or accidents are apt to occur, and they would be at a loss to know what to do.

Children must be protected until they are old enough to protect themselves, and the Sherman county parents were thoughtless, bordering on imbecility, when they left their little ones of 5 and 9 years on a farm, subject to the villainy of some wandering hyena. There are always enough devils running at large to make caution imperative. NOT OF GENERAL INTEREST. A comparatively small number can appreciate the necessity for remedies suggested in the following from the St. Joseph News-Press: A pamphlet by "Clean Money Mor1ison" has been received.

It was a little late getting out this way; the eastern exchanges have been commenting upon it for several weeks. Mr. Morrison is the instigator of a movement for a general redemption of all bills after a short time and for the disinfecting of coins reaching the United States treasury before they are sent out again. The advantages of such a plan are generally admitted, but there is doubt that it 1s worth the time and trouble involved. Here is where Mr.

Morrison comes in with his suggestion that the exchange be made easier and quicker, since the loss of the use of bills while they are away to be exchanged has been one of the strongest practical objections to the plan. The essential thing to bear in mind is that the filthy currency of which so much is in circulation is a real if not very frequently effective danger to health, and that any practicable method of keeping a supply of clean money in circulation would be a benefit to the people of every community. Legislation on the subject by congress is considered not improbable. had evidently mistaken her road. As Jefferson approached she asked: you kindly tell me if this is the way to Wareham?" said Mr.

Jefferson, "I'm sure I don't know; it's the first time I've ever seen any." No Time For Conundrums. During the war a teamster with the Cumberland army got stuck in the mud and let fly a stream of profane epithets. A chaplain passing at the time was greatly shocked. "My friend," said "do you know who died for sinners?" "Damn your conundrums! Don't you see I'm stuck in the mud?" The Educated Flea. It was at a banquet.

A rule bad been agreed upon to the effect that every person called upon for a toast must respond with speech, song or story. As a last number be on the improvised programme, retiring sort of chap was called upon to do his part. "I--I can't make a sp-speech," he stammered, "b-but I heard that fleas could be trained to do tricks, and some time ago I tried to train one. Would you care to see him?" A place was cleared off in the center of the snowy tablecloth, and in the middle the owner set the small pillbox he had taken from his vest pocket. Removing the lid of the box the trainer called out: "Jump out, Henry!" Henry jumped out.

"Play dead, Henry!" Henry played dead to perfection, "Lie down and roll over, Henry!" Henry did so. "Jump backward, Henry!" Henry obeyed. "Jump forward, Henry!" Henry jumped forward with such enthusiasm that he landed upon one of the ladies. Quite a search was necessary before Henry could be recovered from the lady's clothing, but finally the black mite was retaken and set in his accustomed place. "Jump through there, Henry!" Henry didn't move.

"Henry, I say, jump through there!" nothing doing. "Henry, jump through there, I tell you!" Still the most abandoned disobedience. The flea trainer bent low above his pet and looked at him a moment intently. Then straightening up, with a look of relief on his face he said to the woman from whom the flea had been taken: "I your pardon, madam, but that's not my Jenny's Problem. A little girl stood at her mother's knee and from the expression of her face was evidently evolving some knotty problem.

"What is it, Jenny?" asked the mother. "Mamma," said the child seriously, "if I grow up and marry, shall I have a husband like papa?" "Yes, dear, I hope so." There was a long pause. Then the youngster asked: "And if I don't marry, shall I grow up to be like Aunt Susan?" "I hope so." Then the little girl put her hands to her head and said in a tone of despair, "Well, I am in a fix!" Wanted to Be Obliging. A visitor, wishing to be polite to the little son of her host at table, said: "What a pretty dimple you have, Benny!" "You think that's a pretty dimple?" said the boy. "Mamma, can I show the lady the one Home Journal.

Detailed For Baptism. At the beginning of the civil war Colonel Brown and Colonel Smith were raising regiments in Wisconsin. One day Colonel Smith's chaplain paid a visit to Colonel Brown. On leaving he stated that the cause of religion was prospering in Colonel Smith's regiment; that no longer ago than the last Sabbath day he baptized 'ten of Colonel Smith's men. "Sergeant major," exclaimed Colonel Brown, "make a detail of fifteen men to go and be baptized.

I'll be blamed if I allow Colonel Smith's regiment to get ahead of mine in point of religion." Wanted a Permanent Grievance. An Irish landlord returning home after an absence of several weeks saw one of his tenants sitting on a stone wall whistling away to his heart's content. The moment that he greeted him, however, the man scowled and began abusing him. "Why, what's the matter, Pat?" "Matter enough when your stheward is afther evicting me, bad luck to him!" "Evicted you! What for?" "The ould liar pretinded me cabin wanted repairing, and as Oi wouldn't let him in, shure, he put me out." "Never mind, Pat. I hear the cottage you have always wanted is vacant, and Ill let you have that at the same vent." "No, thanking your honor, I couldn't think of It." "But why not? What is to hinder you?" "No, your honor; Of'd rather have me grievance." "Good heavens, Mary," exclaimed the pampered husband, "where did you get these cigars? They're horrible!" "Why, my dear, I'm sure they're quite good," tearfully replied his wife.

Maggi, chief clerk to the governor, was scared out of a year's growth this morning when he was called upon by a genuine crank in the neighborhood of six feet tall, says the Lincoln correspondent of the Omaha Bee. The chief clerk politely removed his feet from the top of his roll top desk and laid aside his paper when the man approached. "Are you Governor Sheldon," the man inquired. After he returned to earth, Maggi very modestly admitted he was not, though he was in close enough touch with the head of the state to attend to any of his business. The man looked cautiously around and then asked for a private Interview in a which he desired to impart some information of very great importance.

Maggi's curiosity got the better of his judgment and he granted the private interview. "My stepmother is trying to hypnotize me," the man began, "and I want you to stop her-'there she is he fairly screamed, looking at the closed door excitedly, and at the same time running his two hands in his pistol pockets. Before the crank came out of it Maggi had the door open, his fists doubled up, Secretary Dimeny in the room, and the crank headed for the police station. "Tell them your troubles--andthat I sent you," gasped Maggi, and he hasn't been normal since. Beatrice Boy Weds.

The wedding of Miss Ella Robertson of this city to John Burner Veon of Oxford, took place at eight o'clock last evening at the home of the bride's sister, Miss Anna Robertson, 1819 street, the Rev.

The four ribbon bearers, Joe Rollings, Gladys Webster, Evelyn Sipp (niece of the bride) and Gussie Heffelfinger of Beatrice (the groom's niece) came down the bower-like stairway, two by two and formed an aisle by stretching white ribbons. They were dressed in white with pink stockings and pink ribbons on their hair.

The maid of honor, Miss Eva Irwin, came next, dressed in white embroidered Swiss over pink silk, and carrying pink roses. The bride's niece, Phelma Robertson, carried the ring in a white rose.

"Look here, Charley," said one young collegian to another who had been asked to run his eye over a letter which his friend had written to his father In which there was the Inevitable re quest for money, "you've spelled jug g-u-g!" "I know," said Charley, you see, I need the cash want and' don't' the old man to think I'm putting on airs. That's how he spells it." A TRAGEDY.

An American actor, who is old enough not to consider himself a matinee idol by any means, was somewhat pleased in a western hotel when a 1 pretty girl stopped him in the corridor and presented him with a rose without saying a word. He received a note the following day reminding him of the incident and asking him to send the giver of the flower two seats at the theater in which he was playing "as a memento of the occasion." "My dear young lady," he wrote in reply, "I should be glad to send you the seats you ask for; but, on consultation with the manager of the theater, I have been informed that the seats are all fastened down and that he is opposed to having them sent away as Home Journal.

"He has habits," replied the daughter, "which I detest! When I marry I want a husband who does not smoke, chew, drink, swear, belong to clubs, play cards, stay out late or go motorIng by himself."

Barbers Restore Low Prices. Tecumseh, Oct. months ago the barbers of Tecumseh got together and advanced the price of a shave from 10 to 15 cents, and a slight advance was made in some of the other work. This ran along smoothly until last week when one firm was of the opinion another was not staying by the agreement. The result has been the announcement today by one of the firms that hereafter shaves will be 10 cents again, and other prices have dropped.
