RENEWING THEIR YOUTH.

A Btrao2o Story from a Nebraska Village. From the World-Herald, Omaha. FVh A World-Herald reporter was attracted by the evidence of renewed activity of some of the old inhabitants of Bruce, near Omaha, and inquired the cause. Mr. Andrew Finkenkeler, a member of -Co, B of the First lowa Volunteers during the war, made the following explanation so far as he himself is concerned. “In July, 18(36, while my company was on the march to Austin," Texas, I was attacked with rheumatism of the worst kind in one leg. I was also sunstruck and remained nnconscions for several hours. Ever sinee I have been unable to stand the heat of the sun, and have been compelled to give up work. There was in: my head a beating down feeling which increased until ft seemed my head would burst. —My Aars rang, and palpatation of the heart set in, so that the slightest noise would set my heart thumping. Several times it has rendered me unconscious seven to ten hours •t a time. In addition to this the rheumatism extended up my side until it drew my head down on my shoulder. I lost my strength and flesh and was totally unfit for work. “For twenty-eight years I have consulted physicians and taken their prescriptions without deriving any material benefit. My ailments increased in intensity until I was assured that there was no hope for me. During last year I went into the butcher business, but the dampness from the ice used increased my rheumatic pains «o that I was not only compelled to quit the business, but was confined to my bed for nearly six months." “In November last I read in the WorldHerald a case of a man who had been entirely cured from the same ailments by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Teople. On Nov. 28, I purchased a box. In a week I was astonished to know that I felt better than I had for six months past, and before I had used half a box. The ringing in my ears began to lessen, and finally left me. The pain from the rheumatism gradually left me, so that within one week from the time I took my first pill I was able to sit up in bed. On Jan. Ist, I.was able to go out and walk a little. The palpitation of my heart entirely ceased. On Feb. 0, I was so thoroughly cured tfiat I accepted a position as night-watchman in the Forest Lawn Cemetery, remaining out of doors from 6 p. m. until (3 a. m. I have gained in weight from 144 lbs, which I weighed in November last, to 172 lbs. For nerve building and for enriching the blood Pink Pills nre unexcelled. They may be had of druggists or direct from the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for 50 cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50.

Caught by a Turtle.

John Wilkinson and James Holmes, aged 9 and 12, were bathing in Lygart’s creek, Kentucky, last week, when Wilkinson, wading among the water lilies which grew in shallow water, stepped upon a large turtle, which at once seized his toe in its mouth. Young Wilkinson yelled with fright and made for the bank, dragging the turtle after him, and his companion came to his assistance and tried to force the reptile to let go by beating it on the back with a stone. The reptile, however, held on until it was beaten into a jelly, anil then the boys cut off its head and pried open its jaws with a pocketknife.

FUTURE IS BRIGHT.

THE OUTLOOK FOR CROPS WAS NEVER BETTER. Most Satisfactory Reports from the Great Grain Producing Tract—Oats, Rye and Fruit Flourishing Corn Yield the Greatest Ever Known. Bonntifnl Harvests. This is likely to be a phenomenal year for agriculturists as the indications for good crops throughout the farntfhg districts of the whole West have never been surpassed. Grain of every sort and all variety of fruits will be most abundant, and as the farmer looks over his fields of rich crops and his trees laden and weighed down with fruit his heart laughs aloud with joy.— Kansas has this year raised nearly 7,000,000 bushels of Irish potatoes, the largest crop in the history of the State. In many instances 200 bushels have been raised on a single acre, which were sold on board the cars at 50 cents per bushel. Taking the State as a whole, the yields of fruit and garden products were never so bountiful, and the trees and vines were never before so laden. Conditions average 75 per cent, for apples, peaehes, grapes and cherries, and ip one-half of the State apples and peaches rate at 100 and above. The stories of drought and distress which went forth from Nebraska last fall and winter will hardly be repeated this year, for, while farmers in many sections are on the anxious seat as to their corn crops, they are just completing what is probably the most satisfactory harvest of small grain in the history of the State. Indeed, the yield of wheat and oats may be said to be a record-breaker. The acreage of both these cereals this year, along with rye and barley, was less than that of last, but the production of all, according to estimates made, will be far above the average. This is ail the more gratifying frdm the fact that the early- drought was the cause of gloomy forebodings. In the Dakotas,' the great wheat-grow-ing States, the crop is placed at 2,400,000 acres and the yield at about twelve bush-

els per acre, or a total of from 28,000,00 to 30,000,000. This estimate was made before thrashers got to work and on a basis of fifteen to eighteen bushels per acre in the Southern and eastern counties. But since the actual test is being made, the yield in that section is going beyond the average, some fields thrashing out as high as thirty-five bushels per acre, while from twenty to twenty-five bushels is common. This may bring the total up to 35,000,000 bushels, while there was not over 7,000,000 or 8,000,000 bushels raised last year. The yield will be cut in the northeastern part of the State, where the prospects were good, by a heavy hailstorm, which destroyed 20,000 acres. Some smut is reported in the eustern part of the State, but not enough to do anygreat damage. The acreage devoted to the oat crop is probably about the same as in former years, or 800,000 acres, and the yield is reported far above the average —twenty-five bushels per acre. Wherever the crop has been thrashed some fields go as high as eighty bushels per acre. In the southeastern part of the State, where all crops are the heaviest, the average this year may be safely put at thirty bushels per acre, or a total yield for the State of 23,000,000 to 30,000,000 bushels. The Coro Crop. The crop of corn of the country this year will be the largest that has ever been known. It is estimated at the present time that the yield will exceed by 200,000,000 bushels the record of any previous year. This condition did not exist a month ago. At that time continued drouth in nearly all the corn States made the outlook dubious for an average yield. But the rains came, copious, heavy, continued showers, just at the time most needed, and to-day prosperity hovers closer over millions of homes than for many a year. How much depends upon the corn crop is realised by few. The corn crop will bring more money, if marketed, than all other grain products combined, and potatoes may be counted with the grain to make good measure. The estimated yield of corn for this year is from 2.250.000,000 to 2,500,000,000 bushels. A t the present price.'Whieh is 35 cents for December or May delivery, the crop will be worth $800,000,000. To emphasize the immensity of this product it mny be said that the State of lowa almfe will raise enough corn this year to supply more than five bushels to every man, woman and child in the United States. Illinois, lowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas comprise what has I>cch termed the corn belt This section furnishes nearly. If not quite, twothirds of the entire corn product. -The prospect for a phenomenal crop of •ora is not only excellent throughout the

Downs, whose portrait we give. She desires that her case may be stated as a means of benefiting others. She says: “ Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Com•pound has cured me of Kidney trouble, painful menstruations, and headaches. It is

r corn belt, bat from the extreme east and west, from the sonthern coast and from the Gulf States comes the cheering newß that the corn crop was never in better condition. Throughout the country there are but a few isolated spots where it is said to be slightly backward or affected by drought. The greatest yield of any year previous to this was in 1889, when the acreage was 78,319,(351 and the yield 2,112,892,000 bushels. The following year brought a practical failure, which was again made up in 1891, when the yield amounted to 2,060,154,000 bushels from an acreage of 76,204,515. For the past three years the yield has been 1,628,464,000 bushels for 1892, 1,619,496,431 bushels for 1893 and 1,212,770,052 bushels for 189*. The indications at present, therefore, are that the 1895 c-rop will bo nearly double that of last year. Tt will not all be turned into cash, hut considered from the standpoint of value it will represent $400,000,000 more than the crop of last year.

FOR THE BENEFIT OF VETERANS.

Accommodations Provided Those Attending Chattanooga Reunion. The Chattanooga national military park commission has issued the following announcement on behalf of the veteran soldiers who wish to go to the encampment at Chattanooga: “It appears from numerous letters received by this commission that its previous circular in regard to furnishing quarters in camp barracks has been construed to mean that such barracks will be erected without regard to ;the orders received, and that those desiring these quarters can obtain them upon their arrival at Chattanooga. This, however, is not the case. - “As Congress made no appropriation for free quarters, a plan was devised by which barracks accommodations could be provided by the citizens’ committee of Chattanooga at a very low rate for all who might order such a sufficient time in advance. It is the intention to extend barracks as orders for accommodations are received. Such accommodations cannot be provided under applications received after Aug. 30, 1895. - “Those who send $2 to Capt. Charles F. Muller, Chattanooga, Tenn., will receive in return a ticket which will entitle the

holder to a comfortable barrack bunk for the entire time of his stay at Chattanooga, including safe storage for hand baggage and toilet be possible to furnish ladies with quarters in these barracks, or to supply meals or lunches in connection with them. It will be necessary for each person to bring his own blanket and towels. The barracks will be constructed upon the plan adopted at the last Grand Army encampment at Washington city, where a very large number of veterans were thus housed. Such structures will be erected in Chattanooga, where, within convenient distances, meals and lunches may be obtained at reasonable prices. “Communications in regard to barracks addressed to Capt. Muller, who was selected by the citizens’ committee to take charge of this work, Will receive prompt and reliable attention.

WILL STUDY AMERICAN CROPS.

Germany Attaches an Agriculturist to lta Embassy. Several of the European Governments have decided to send to their embassies or legations in this country what they term “agricultural attaches.” Such an attache will be expected to keep his home Government informed not only as to crop conditions, prospects and prices in the Unijted States at regular intervals, but also to keep his people lasted as to progress in all agricultural methods and improvements from time to time. Germany is the first to send an attache of this sort, who arrived in Washington a few days ago and called upon the Secretary of Agriculture. Ilis name is Beno Reinhardt Freiherr von Herman. He is a baron, although an agriculturist, so that he wifi no doubt be welcomed into official society this winter, despite his long name. It is understood that both the English and French Governments will soon follow the example of Germany and send an agricultural attache to their embassies here, and Secretary Morton now thinks that it might be wise on the part of bur Government to return the compliment by sending some of our most practical and successful farmers abroad in place of the few military and naval attaches who presumably adorn the diplomatic service of the United States. The feller of the Merchants* National Bank of Massillon, Ohio, paid out S2C gold pieces iustead of silver dollars on a check for $240, and will, therefore, take no vacation this year. f.\ John Hartman, Joseph Wilke and Alexander Wilke, membeys of a New York pleasure party, were drowned.

Unexpected Visitation.

Some years ago, three young men were camping In the Sierra Nevada Mountains, killing deer, fishing and cooking delectable food. One day, it happeued-that one, of them had twisted his ankle, and the others were hunting without him. As he could not move about, he was naturally somewhat bored, aud after reading awhile, in the shade of a tree, he fell asleep. Thus he tells what followed: I woke up with a start, aud the fuel. iDg that something was about to happen Something had happened. Fifteen _lndians sat iu a half circle about me. waiting for me to stir. They had fixed upon me their fifteen pairs of black, beady eyes, aud not oue of them moved a muscle, All of them had guns and, what was mor,e important, each had presumably two sound legs, whereas I was handicapped by my lameness. I looked at them, aud they continued looking at me. A lightning express of speculation ran through my head. I remembered that the deputy sheriff of the nearest settlement had lately shot an Indian by accident, and that the tribe had sworn to have his scalp. Did I look like the deputy sheriff? Was it my scalp they wanted? Their eyes never wandered, but mine did; for 1 could not help glancing at my gun, at least fifteen feet away, and JV the spot where a big Indian sat composedly on my cartridges: Finally one i*uek made a remark. “Fish hook ?” said he, —-said T r ‘Ann-flsh^hpok.*-’?:: Silence again for fifteen minutes. Then another indicated by a glance a piece of venison hung up iu a tree, and grunted bis approval of it. I nodded, and he roar*, solemnly took it down and laid it on the ground beside him. “ ATittle, boyish felibw.'tviTli eyes more restless than those of the others, removed his gaze from me to a greasy piece of red flannel beside me, with which one of ojir men had been cleaning his gun. I took it up and held it out to him, and he accepted it with outward composure and, I have no doubt, inward rapture. Then we had another period of silent reflection, and they rose, stalked solemnly away to their horses tethered in a neighboring grove, and rode off. They had made me a highly conventional social visit.

Tabby Swam Back to the Kittens.

Albert Stetson, who has been superintending the unloading of the Washtenaw, is telling cat stories along the water front On the steamer Saturn there was for a long time a black cat that was the pet of the seamen. When the Saturn was last in port she went every day to the dock, where she had installed a litter of kittens among the freight. The Saturn left the dock a few days ago on the way to Liverpool, the mother on board. The kittens were on the wharf. The steamer got about 200 yards away from the pier when the mother realized that a parting was taking place, and that her kittens would be left to starve if she did not do something. So she sprang into the cold waters .and swam back to the wharf. She climbed up a pile, dripping wet, and dashed for her babies. The freight clerks took her and her kittens to the Washtenaw, where they have quarters in the captain’s cabin.—San Francisco Chronicle.
