From Falls City, Neb, Eprror Star: —I like your paper splen- did and would not like to do without it. The wind is blowing terrible hard to- night and it is getting colder. We had a right pleasant day, today, but a *‘north- wester” came up this evening and broke my wife's clothes line in three places, scattering clothes . west and crooked. We are all well, except my wife says her corns on her left great toe hurt her. I suppose it is caused by the sudden change in the weather. However, the case is not serious. The baby has the earache, and the boy has a craving appetite for buttermilk. I'd be well myself, if it wasn’t for a tickling in my throat. [I suppose it’s for the taking of something stronger than water. Mr. Livengood, I must praise your pa- per. I think it is the best paper I ever saw, to be printed in a small town. It beats any of the Falls City papers, but then I suppose Salisbury is a great deal larger than it was when I was there. Jan. 12th, 1893. J. N. WAGNER. Travelers may learn a lesson from Mr. J. D. Cone, a prominent attorney of Parker Dakota. who says: *‘I never leave home without taking a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy with me, and on many oc- casions have ran with it te the rehef of some sufferer and have never known it to fail.” For sale by Copland, the drug- gist, Meyersdale, Pa.

Price. a Justice of the Peace, at Richland, Neh., was confined o his bed last winter with a severe at- tack of lumbago; but a thorough appli- cation of Chamberlain's Pain Balm en- nhled him to get up and go to work. Mr. Price says: ‘The Remedy can not be recommended too highly.” Let any one troubled with rheumatism, nenralgia or lame back give it a trial and they will be of the same opinion. 50 cent hottles for sale by Copland, the druggist, Mey- ersdale, Pa. Talking and Swearing. There had been a homicide in a saloon and one man was telling all about it, even to the minutest detail. He had seen it all and knew what he was talking about, he said. and notwithstanding everybody had not implicit confidence in his state: ments, nobody cared to call him to ac- count and make him show proof. Nat- urally such a man wonld be a good wit- ness and at the examining trial he was put on the stand. “What do you know about this affair?” asked the Court. ‘“Nothin’, ver Honor,” he replied so promptly as to startle those who had heard his story. “Didn’t you,” asked the surprised Judge, ‘‘tell a number of people vou had seen it all?” **Yes, yer Honor,” “Then how does it happen that you say here that you don’t know anything about it?” “Well, it’s this way, yer Honor,” he said, with a redeeming blush, *‘I was only a-talkin’ then, an’ now I'm a-swear- in.” The Court noted the distinction.—De- troit Free Press. ” What You Should Weigh. An authority on height and weight states that a man five feet one inch in height should weigh 120 pounds; one five feet two inches, 126 pounds; five feet three inches, 183 pounds; five feet four inches, 136 pounds; five feet five inches, 142 pounds; five feet six inches, 146 pounds; five feet seven inches, 148 pounds; five feet eight inches, 155 pounds; five feet nine inches, 182 pounds; five feet ten inches, 169 pounds; five feet eleven inches, 174 pounds. while he who has attained to the height of six full feet should weigh 178 pounds. A Problem. Once there were two tramps who were actually looking for work. In the course of their wanderings they came upon a pile of coal in front of a palatial resi- dence. Said the,tramp with the inferior intel- lect, ‘‘Let us engage ourselves to stow away this ‘fuel ata price of twenty-five cents.” “Nay, nay,” said the tramp of superior intellect; ‘let me go within and negotiate.” And be did negotiate and secured the job at a rate of fifty cents, of which sum he gave one-half to his companion to per- form the necessary manual labor, reserv- ing one-half unto himself for superin- tending operations. Whereat he of the inferior business ability, though he had received twice the amount of work he expected and at his own rate of compensation, lifted up his voice in wrath and swore by various deities that he had been bunkoed. Was he right?—Indianapolis Journal. ' | { | | BEST LINE TO ve THE WEST Superb Dining C Car Service 1852 = 1892. As long atime as David reigned, so long has the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway run trains westward from Chicago. The Rock Island is foremost in adopting any advantage calculated to improve speed and give that luxury, safety and comfort that popular patronage demands. Its equipment is thorough- ly complete with vestibu’ed trains, magnificent dining cars, sleepers and chair coaches, all the most elegant, and of recently improved patterns. Faithful and capable management and polite, honest service from employes are important items. They are a double duty—to the Com- pany and to travelers—and it is Sometimes a task difficult of accomplishment.’ Passengers on this line will find little cause for ccmplaint on Fihat ground. k The importance of this Line can be better un- derstood if a short lesson in geography be now recited. What is the great Eastern termini of the Rock Island Route?—Chicago. What other sub-East- ern termini has it¥—Peoria. To what important nts does it run trains to the Northwest?—St, Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Water- town and Sioux Falls, Dakota. To what impor- tant Towa and Nebraska points?—Des Moines, Davenport, Towa; Omaha and Lincoln, Nebras- ka. Does it touch other Missouri River points?— Yes; St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas City. Does it run trains to the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains?—Yes; to Denver, Colo- rado Springs and Pueblo, sofia vestibuled from Chicago. Can important cities of Kansas be reached by the Rock Island Route?—Yes; its capital city, Tokepa, and a full hundred others in all directions in the State, and it is the only road running to and into the new lands opened for settlement in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation. It will thus be seen that a line tapping, as the Rock Island does, such a varied territory, has much in that regard to commend it to travelers, as all connections are sure on the Rock Island, and passengers can rely on a speedy journey, as over a bulk of the system through trains are run, and it has become, and rightly too, the popular Line. - A very popular train on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway leaves Chicago, daily,’ at 10 p. m. Itis called “Tae Bia Five,” is only one day out, and passengers arrive at Denver, Pueblo or Colorado Springs early the second morning. The Rock Island has become a popular Colo- rado Line, and the train above referred to is Ves- tibuled, and carries the Rock Island's excellent Dining Car Service.
