The Return of Prosjierity in the
Middle VYtst.
With 1897 the clouds lifted. It
was in many respects a year of
surprises to the business world
of the plains. Few realize why
its record stands out so brightly
compared with the half dozen
seasons gone before, 'l’uera Jiiaye
been published glowing reports
of the wheat raised in Kansas,
yet in t*o years in the past dec
ade have there been larger yields
The corn is a boast, yet four
years in the decade have done
better, The live-stock products
are pointed to with pride, yet
three years have shown larger
cash returns. The aggregate
value of all products of farm and
ranch has been exceeded twice in
ten years. The same is truo of
Nebraska. Notwithstanding this,
it is doubiful if in all the history
of the prairies there has been a
year when the workers had so
much to show for their efforts—
both in material values and in
enhanced credit—as in the one
just past. It was the first step
forward that manifested itself
prominently. The advance had
been going on, but it had not
come to the surface.
'Die crops were above the
average, the prices were good,
new sowing favorable, But above
these things, and working with
them, was the fuct that the debts,
public and private, were no longer
nerye-wearing burdens—they
had been reduced in the years of
economy to reasonable propor
tions. Herein lies the key to
the new era that is opening for
the prairie West; it 1 as resources
gained through its own toil, and
its obligations occupy the place
of servant, not of master.
Here is an example: A farmer
came into my office one day last
summer wearing ragged, faded
clothes, and appearing very
shabby. “Look pretty tough,
don’t I?” lie remarked, laughing.
“Well, it will be better next time.
lam going lo buy a new suit of
clothes this afternoon. I have
not had a new suit for five years'
—just couldn’t afford it. JMy wife
has been saving egg money, and
1 have kept up the taxes and in
terest, Now we ‘are gettiug out
of the woods, acd I am to have a
suit and she a dress from the egg
money.” He said it without any
bitterness or regret, as if it were
a perfectly natural situation. He
felt that he had done his duty,
and the new clothes were doubt
less worn with a pride and satis
faction unknown where less sac
rifice was needed to procure
fresh raiment.
The hens are said to have
saved Nebraska. From the sta
tions in the interior of the State
were shipped thousands of doz
ons of eggs every week. The
money received for them was
about the only clear cash that
came into to household, and kept
the children fit for school and
the wife in presentable clotl e3. In
Kansas the humble cow was more
in evidence. Scattered over the
plain s are the creameries, to
which every morning winds a
procession of farm wagons, each
containing a dozen or more high
tin cans filled with milk from the
farms. One oonney has for six
years received from the cream
eries §250,000 annually in month
ly payments. It has been the
salvation of the settlers. Others
have done nearly as well, and the
annual value of the milk products
has been from §4,600,000 to $5,-
000,000. This, add«d to the help
of the hen and the returns of the
swine-yard, has been the resource
upon which many a family has
depended to ; tide over the lean
years.—From “New Era in the
Middle West,” by Charles Mo
| reuu Harger, in Harper’s Mag
uziue for July.
‘ What are you going to do
with that blossom?"

WALKER COUNTY MESSENGER, JUNE 30, 1808.
‘•Oliio” in Japan.
Americans are held in the great
est esteem by the peonle of Ja
pan. A tourist from the United
Statos need never worry about
courtesies iu the laud of the Mi
kado. That peculiarly progres
| sive people regard the men and
women who bear allegiance to the
Stars and Stripes as the posses
sors of a civilization that should
be their model in attaining.
Capt. “Joe” Fifer of the United
States navy, had an experience in
Jitpau which his messmates never
tire recounting, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. When “Joe’
was in Annapolis his fellew-ca
dets used to say that bo would
pay dearly for his slashing vrit,
and it seems that the manes of
of many a discomfited professor
and student have been properly
avenged.
It came Capt. Fifer’s turn to
make a cruise to the Occident and
he preparen for a long trip with
great trepidation. He was Wont
to consult a fortune teller when
ever he undertook a sail, and was
usually gladdened by assurances
of a safe voyage and a speedv re
turn. On this occasion he was
wounded most deeply. The diver
into the future informed the in
corrigible commander that the
predictions of his former asso
ciates would at last be realized.
What the nature of the fate in
store for Fifer was the mystic per
son would not divulge. Ho was
left to choose between a thousand
humiliations and death.
After w'eeks of ploughing thro’
the deep sea the cruisers arrived
at Japan. Capt. Fifer and hisj
staff went ashore as usual to as
certain whether their limbs had
lost any of their efficiency on land.
Every Japanese they encounter
ed recognized them as visitors
from the far-cff Republic, and
saluted them with great respect.
The American sailors finally en
countered a party of aristocratic
Japanese who approached them
and bet t low in salutation. Each
of the natives pronounced the,na
tional word of welcome m loud
tones, which in American phonog
raphy sounds like a rendition of
the name Ohio. This was re
peated several times, until the
air was full of “Ohio, Ohio,
Ohio.” Oapt. Fifer expressed the
greatest snrprise at the sagacity
of the Japanese. He was an
avowed resident of Ohio when at
home, and always championed
the cause of his state.
“Repeat that honeyed word
again,” requested Capt, Fifer.
“How did they manage to find it
out, anyhow?”
“Ohio, Ohio, Ohio,” came in a
chorus from the nobles.
“Yes, gentlemen, it is Ohio,
and, by Jove! it is Cuyahoga
county, too, gentlemen.”

The Story of a Soldier.
From the Transcript , Peoria , IU.
No man is bettor known and liked in that
rich tit*" of Illinois counties, of which Peoria
is tne centre, than genial Chester S. Harring
ton, of Princevtlle, 111. For many years Mr.
Harrington has traveled through the country
on profitable journeys as an itinerant mer
chant, and everywhere he goes he is given a
hearty welcome by the people who depend
upbn his visits for the purchase of the neces
saries, ami some of the luxuries, of life.
Mr. Harrington is a veteran of the war,
and from this fact is made the remarkable
experience which he related at the Trans
cript office recently. His story, telling of
the evils of which the C ivil War was hut
the beginning in his own, and iu thousands
of other eases, was as follows:
‘ I served three years in the 124th Illinois, i
enlisting at Kewanee, 111. 1 was in Libby
Prison, and suffered, like many another North- 1
ern soldier. Until recently i was a member !
of the Princeville Post,of the (j. A. U.
“The strain of army life did its work in !
undermining my health, although the col
lapse «li<l not come for years. For some time
I suffered from general debility and nervous
ness, so badly that I could not sleep. For
fifteen years my sleep was completely broken
up. Indigestion, resulted and my misery in
creased. My eves began to fail, and ns my
body lost vitality my mind seemed to give
way also. T could scarcely remember events
that happened but a few weeks before.
“For two years I was unfitted for busi
ness. I wag just able to creep around during
the greater part of this time, nnd there were
times when I could not get up at all. My
brother is a doctor, but all bis efforts to help
me failed to give me any relief.
I tried a number of remedies, without
avail. Finally, having read articles regard- 1
»ng cures that had been effected by Dr. Wil- j
l urns’ I’ink Pills for Pale People, I derided
ft» try them. That was in 18fit>. I bought
a box ami took the pills according to in- j
struct ions. Just four days later I had the 1
Cuban Co-operation.
Washington, D. CJ., June 21.
The Navy Department continues
to hear from Admiral Sampson
relative to the general condition
of affairs with the fleet off Santia
go.
The reports last received speak
of the satisfactory condition of
affairs, and particularly draw at
tention to the continued good
work being done by the Cubans.
The Admiral says he now has
about 1,000 Cubans, fully armed,
engaged in the bushwhacking
work which has proved so effec
tive in protecting the marines and
in preparing the way for the
American troops. This fores of
Cubans is quite apart from the
regular force under Gens. Rabi
and Garcia, and is a detached
body of guerrillas which is co
operating- with onr naval forces
rather than with the army.
The extent to which the Cubans
have been exposed to action is
shown by the report reaching the
Navy Department that thirty
wounded Cubans have been
placed son the Solace. This is
believed to be considerably more
than the wounded from the
American marines. Surgeon
General Van Keypen, of the nayy,
has directed the chief surgeon of
the Solace to receive Cuban
wounded and give them the same
treatment and facilities accorded
to our men. Later, however, the
hospital ship Relief will receive
the Cuban wounded, as the Relief
is an army ship and the work of
the Cubans is looked upon as
more properly coming under the
direction of the army. But pend
ing the arrival of the Relief no
distinction will be made between
Americans or Cubans, army or

; happiest hours I had known for years. Tha<
night I went to sleep easily and slept soundly
as a child, and awoke refreshed. Three oi
| four weeks after beginning the treatment, when
I had tid'.en four boxes of the pills, 1 found I
had increased in weight, from Ilf) pounds to
14fi pounds. This greatly surprised my friends
who thought my ease was a hopeless one. I
began tny work on the road nuain, and have
continued it right along ever since iu excel
lent health.
“ Let me tell you a remarkable thing flint
was a side issue, but a valuable gain to me.
I found that while 1 was taking Dr. Mil
limns’ Pink Pills, I Imd been cured of the
smoking habit, which had been formed when
! I was a boy. six years old. and which bad
clung to me all these years. The craving for
tobacco left me, and I have never experienced
it since. 1 have recommended the pills to
many.

The Expenses of Imperialism.
Imperialism will be a bit expen
sive. The extinguishment of the
Spanish title in the Pliilipiues
will cost in initial expenses not
less than $100,000,000; Cuba and
Puerto Ilico will easily add SIOO,-
000,000 more in the shape of im
mediate expenditure,and the out
standing debt of Hawaii to be as
sumed will be $4,000,000. Totbis
must be added $130,000,000 for
digging the Nicaraguan canal in
order to make our Pacific coast
possessions accessible and defen
sible. Put this preliminary cost
will be as a flea bite to the cost of
maintenance. We shall get our
new islands in a very run-down
and unprosperous condition. VV'e
s’lail have to build a navy to cor
respond with our insular aggran
dizement. We shall have added
to our holdings an enormity of
unfortified coastline. We shall
haye to lauild foits and maintain
standing armies to held insurrec
tionary populations in order.
Imperialism is grand. It has a
swelling and majestic sound. Put
it is costly.—Philadelphia Record.
