A Des Moins woman who has been troubled with frequent colds, concluded to try an old remedy in a new way, and accordingly took a tablespoonful (four times the usu al dose) of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy juBt before going to bed. The next morning she found that her cold had almost entirely dis appeared. During the day she took a few doses of the remedy (one tea spoonful at a time) and at night again took a tablespoonful before going to bed, and on the following morning awoke free from all syrnp toms of the cold. Since then she has, on several occasions, used this remedy in like manner, witli the same good results, and is much el ated over her discovery of so quick a way of curing a cold.

"Oh! that's about a size too small for you," said a salesman in a big clothing establishment near ' Her ald square, as he critically survey ed acoatjn which he had assisted a patron. ' "Yes, it is a bit too small," as sented the other, removing his, gar ment; "but just tell how much a size is." ,"In a coat," answered the sales man, "a size is one inch." , "Is that so!" exclaimed the cus tomer. He had been living nearly thirty-two years, and wasfairlj in telligent, but never knew that fact. And there are thousands just like him, who do not know, for instance, that a size of underwear is two inches, in a sock, one inch, in a collar, half an inch; shoes, one sixth of an inch; in trousers, one inch; in gloves, a quarter of an inch, a hat, one-eighth. - Before the Legislature., . A measure of great importance is Senator Brownell's bill No. ;80, known as the irrigation bill. It is intended to create the office of state irrigation engineer, the holder to be a man versed in surveying and engineering, hydraulics, hydro statics, etc., and to be under con trol of the state board of land com missioners. He must have his of fice at the capitol and his salary is to be $3,000 a year, his deputies and assistants : not more than $5 per day for actual time employed. His duty shall be to examine', arid lands, locate and measure streams and other bodies of water possible to be reached for' , irrigation . pur poses; prepare maps showing arid lands, sources of water, size and lo cation of canals, flumes, etc.( have BUfiervision of the building of such canals, etc. The act provides that the governor shall tile these maps Blondie" and the "Corporal" make a discovery. with the 'secretary of the interior and obtain contracts for the land to be reclaimed." ; It also provides the manner of constructing the ir rigation works; creates a state -irrigation fund to be used only for reimbursing the state for expenses incurred. The bill is designed to enable the sttte to take advantage of the act of congress known as the Carey law. Falling Off. ' A startling evidence of the man ner in which our wheat trade with Germany has suffered by the com petition of the Argentine Republic is contained in a report to the state department by Frank II. Mason, united fotates consul general at Frankfort, upon the German wheat imports for the laet three years. In 1892 the United States ship ped to Germany 6,302,130 tons of wheat. Jhe next year this drop ped to 3,149,282 tons, and in 1894 the imports were ' but 3,054,069 tons. Meanwhilo, Argentine seem to have gained about what we lost of this trade, for the imports of wheat from that country into Ger many, amounting in 1892 to but 651,697 tons, had swelled from 18- 93 to 1.513,961 tons, and in 1894 tn 3,196,190 tons. The nomination of candidates for municipal honors the other night at the school hoiine, turned out to be illegal inasmuch as the law requires ' that nomination shall be made 30 days before the day of election. When the calen dar was referred to, it was found hat but 29 days elapsed until date of election, consequently all names will have to go in by petition. , Highest of all ia Leavening Li VV C ;SS3S3 if rr W IMPRISONMENT. FOR LIFE. Judge Refuses 'Bunco" Kelly a New ; trial and Passes Sentence. Joseph Kelly, now so well known as "Bunco" Kelley, was brought before Judge Stephens, probablv for the last time. Anticipating his appearance in court, quite a crowd of curiously-disposed had already taken seats at the time the prison er was ushered in the presence of the judge. Kelly's attorney, Judge Caples, was in his seat, prepared to argue the motion for a new trial, and as soon as order prevailed, the argu ment was proceeded with. Three affidavits were filed with the clerk of the court, showing that new . ev idence had bien discovered. Judge Caples, in his appeal for a new trial, laid great stress upon this new evidence, which, he said, would prove Kelly not to have been away from town on the night of the murder.;- Li spite of Judge Caples great effort to obtain a new trial, the court overruled the motion. .Judge Stephens then asked the prisoner to stand up and state if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed up on him. ' 1 ; , Kelly had a great deal to say, and without a tremor he addressed the judge. , "Yes judge," he began. "I don't know any thing about the matter of murder of which I am accused. I do not think I got a fair trial. The jury was prejudiced; Attorney Humo was prejudiced. Juryman Charley Reviers had it in forme and wanted to get even. Croas man's Clark, Coffey, was a'lso mad at me, and was only waiting for a chance to come and swear against me. I'll just tell you, judge, Cof fey was mad at me because of a row that we had a little time be fore the thing happened. He's president of the Acme Club, and at a certain meeting he wanted the club to indorse Minto, but we would not have it." . - As the prisoner was rambling off onto dinerent points that had come up during the testimony and mak ing references to the affidavits which his attorney had now filed with the court, Judge Stephens in terrupted him, and in the following words imposed sentence: "Mr! Kelly, the court is of the oppinion that you received a 'fair and impartial trial, and that the jury was not prejudiced against you. This court must discharge iis duty. The sentence of the court is that you be imprisoned in the penitentiary for the rest of your natural life," As Kelly heard his sentence pro nounced he set his features and raised his head defiantly. His eyes glared Bavagely and he ground his teeth fiendishly. "Judge," ho said, "I'd rather be hung. I'd rather you'd hang me than to send-rae to prison for life." A few mfndtA' later the prisoner was led to Wccll.' ; He walked out bearing the same defiant -ir as sumed on hearing his sentence. , He was not at all embarrassed, but rather appeared proud at having been allowed to express himself. . His commitment papers were made out yesterday, and he will probably be taken to Salem tomor row. The testimony was ordered trans cribed by the court reporters, and Judge Stephens allowed the defense until April 1 in which to file a bill of exceptions. .4 a . 1 -. a' Power.Latest U. & Gov't Report fj ' W ft t "vmisv w msmv. STARVES IN SIGHT OF FOOD. Nebraska Sufferers Are Victims of Gross Mismanagement. Lincoln, Neb, Feb. 8.- The com plaints from all parts of the state as to the inability of the1 Nebraska relief committee to furnish proper relief to the destitute have become so frequent that a concerted demand has been made for reorganization by the legislature and an investi gation is now in progress with thaT idaa in view. With people in many counties Buffering all the pangs of hunger and without fuel except dried grass and with the mercurv .seventeen degrees below zero, hun dreds of cars oi food, provisions and fuel are standing on the sidetracks in various parts of Nebraska con tributed by outside states,, waiting the pleasureof the relief committee. In many caseB the people threaten to burst open the cars and help themselves to the food. Charitable people of other states have sent them, and they aro withheld by a clumsily organized relief com mittee. The state has appropriated $50, 000 to relieve the destitute and it is estimated that other sources have contributed $1,000,000 in food, money, etc. This is more than sufficient to feed and clothe all the destitute of the state for a year if properly distributed. . ' s ' As an evidence of the manner in which the supplies are being wasted almost in sight of the hungry for whom they are intended the follow ing report to tho legislature by Cpt. W. II. Hunter, of Lincoln and Dr. S. S." Saddler of Alma, Neb., who investigated the situation, is given: "We visited . the' Burlington & Missouri?, freight office " yesterday and were there informed by,, the agent that twelve cars loaded with supplies for the destitute were then in the Burlington Missouri yards and about three carloads in tho freight depot besides what were f.tored in other w rehouses. We proceeded to a building said to be long to BuckstalFBros, and there we found from the statement. .made by the party ' in charge of aid building, sixty carloads of supplies which the" men in charge said had been there from one to three weeks. These supplies wero composed of flour, wheat, corn, oats,' corn meal, beans, potatoes, Kraut and a large amount of groceries and clothing. Of the potatoes, about one carload was frozen hard. Tho kraut , was in barrels some of which were burst ed and leaking badly. We wero informed one carload had been shipped out of this warehouse Jan uary "30." As Others See Us. We nevtr really know what eiueer things we do and say over here un til we see the Jbngliyh report of us.
