DOUGLAS COUNTY TO THE FRONT.
W. G. Woodward On Top.
NotwithgUadiug the hard times,
Douglas county is forging ahead. Her
natural resources, though Elowly, are
Earely coaling into promicent notice.
Our agricultural resources are good,
our fruit products are being dtvelopcd
with amazing progress, and our mineral
deposits are almost unlimited; all of
which are attracting notice. The latest
evidence of our mineral wealth is the
certificate of experts as to the quality of
Douglas county marble.
Our townsman W. G. Woodward bis
just received a bronze me lal from the
World's Columbian Exposition at Chi
cago for a specimen of marble from the
'Variety Marble Company," awarded
" for its fceiuty and quality."
The medal is about three mchts in
diameter, wrought in the bighett ;degree
of art. The obrerse side is a ecroll sur
mounted by a figure of the earth with an
acgelic figure of a woman on either side,
one with a block of wrought marble in
in her hand, the other with a trumpet
heralding glad tidings of human prog
ress. The reverse side is the figure cf
Columbus landing. This beautifal
bronze medal is inclosed in'an aluminum
case.
Accompanying the medal is a diploma
signed by the committee of award and
the high officials of the exposition, certi
fying that it is "awarded for the beauty
of marble from one of the most impor
tant quarriee in the country." This
modal, while ya luable in itself as a sou
venir, is most highly prized as getting
forth the fact that this Douglas county
marble is from one of ttie mot ijriant
quarries of the country.
This specimen is from the Variety
Marble Couipmy of Douglas county
about 12 miles east of this city and was
brought to notice through tho injrsever
ing.enterpnse of .Mr. W. G. WcoJward
of this city.
A Cyclone Cursed Country.
The Chicago Tribune commenting up
on tho late destructive tornadoes which
have viiited the Mississippi valley stales,
eaye:
"The premature spring of 15'JG, which
has advanced everything a month ahead
of its time, has done the same unpleas
ant office for windstorms, cloudbursts,
and lightning. The cyclone season be
gan its fatalities in tho latter part of
April, and from that time to this 317
persons are reported to have been killed,
the most prominent disasters lieing the
following: April Xtj, Kansas, J','; May1
15, Tex3e, J-'ti, May 17, Kentucky 0, and
Kansas, 'Si; 3Iay 18, Nebraska. 41, May
-'1, Oklama, 10; aud May '.', Iowa, -10.
In the same period seventy persons have
been killed by lightning."

their good fortune that they enjoy a cli

Origin of The Q. A. R.
Springfield, III,, was tho birthphico ot
tbo Grand Army of tho Republic Dur
ing tho winter of 1SG3-G(i, a considerable
number of soldiers who bad Eerved in
tnu armies oi tiio i niteil Mates were
gathered in tho vicinity of SpriuglioM,
and Dr. B. V, Stephenson, who had
served as surgeon of tho Fourteenth Illi
nois infantry, was so prominent in per
fecting tho organization that to him bo
longs the credit of having started this
powerful association. The first post was
formed at Decatur, III , on tho night of
April (5, 1SM5, and tho entiro staff of com
positors of the Decatur Tribune beiug,
as it happened, eligible to membership,
was mustered in. The first printing for
tho order was done by these members,
whoso circulars thus Announced the ob
jects of tbo order, viz:
"First To preserve and strengthen
those kind and fraternal feelings which
bind together the soldiers, sailors and
marines who united to suppress the late
rebellion, and to perpetuate the history
and memory of the dead.
"Second To assist such former com
rades as need help and protection, and
to extend needful aid to tho widows and
orphans of those who have fallen.
"Third To maintain Into alleciunco
to tho United States of America, based
upou a paramount respect for and fidel
ity to the constitution and laws ; to dis
coutenance whatever tends to weaken
loyalty, incitea to insurrection, treason,
or rebellion, or in any manner impairs
the efficiency or permanency of our free
institutions; and to encourage the spread
of universal liberty and equal rights arid
justice to all men."
Two posts were immediately formed
at Springfield, aud others rapidly fol
lowed, in many sUtes. Dr. Stephenson
was recognized as
provisional com-1
mander-inchief. In November, ISOti,
the first national convention of the order
was held at Indianapolis. The second
general meeting was held at Philadel
phia in January, 1505, which was the
first othcially named "oncanipn-ent.

By special request of many prominent
peoplo, Prof, Tyndall, tho man of myst
ery, has consented to give another exhi
bition at tho Opera House tomorrow
(Tuesday), night, when ho will pre
sent n grand double bill in hypnotism
and tslopathy. It Is positively the last
opportunity that tho peoplo of Rossburg
will have tj ceo the Psychic wonder
display his marvelous hypnotic power
aud mental force. He had a tidal-wave
of skepticism to overcome in this city,
since his advent, but he demonstrated
beyond all question to any reasoning
mind, that his claims, as advertised, aro
modest in the extrcmo when ono con
templates tho wonderful psychic power
he posesses. No oao who is open to
conviction, or cares to be honest with
himself will dispute the fact that Prof.
Tyndall is a human marvel and stands
tho ieer and high priest of cccultism.
Tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock tho
professor will give a grand free mind
reading test from the McClallen house,
assisted by a comniitteo of prominent
ladies, when ho will demonstrate how
thought can be transmitted through
wire. Everyone Is invited to attend.
Admission to Opera House 23 cents,
