"Vox Populi" say to their represent
atives at Washington: Enact laws so
that on till deals made prior to J uly 1st,
1893, interest shall cease from July-1st
to Jan. 1st, 1894. In the ad interim they
are to enact laws to become of force at
once to make loans direct to the people
at a low rate of interest. Five hundred
million dollars may be issued nt once,
and if the emergency requires it then on
Jan. 1st, 1894, another like amount shall
be issued. The effect would be that
monev now tied up which cannot be-got
at any price would then go begging at
three per cent interest The present
emergency is as great as a sudden war

know the government would bond itself
too quick, and in order to protect your

the state, which is beginning to need
rain again. In the southeast section
wheat harvesting is progressing rapidly
and the outlook is satisfactory for good
yields. Oats are nearly 'ready for har-
vestine. bat'the ciwwill be cut short
by rust; complaint of which is quite
general. In the northeast section most
all the reports aro favorable, and wheat
harvesting is about ready to begin. In
Wayne county some damage was done

Reports from tho central and southwest

the prospects more promising than they
havo been during tbo last two months.
Refrigerators at James Bel ton's.
The Chicago Times of a recent date
says: xne yvua west nas some oi me
appointments of a good-sized town. Its
electric lighting apparatus is quite large
enough to illuminate tho average town
of 10,000 inhabitants. Tho engines are
of 250-horso power, and a double equip
ment of dynamos insures perfect ser
vice. The other night, for instance, the
b?lt connecting one of the dynamos
slipped and tho lights went out. There
was darkness for a minute or two iu tho
immenso arena, relieved by the prompt
playing of "whero was Moses when the'
light went out?" and then the other
dynamo sot a now curront in motion, and
tho 200-odd lights, representing some
thing like 50,000-candIe power, blazed
out again. No ono in tho camp is al

metician to figure out that 400 men and
ss many horses, camped on ground
which, from its location between tho
Illinois Central and the fair itself, is the
most expensive site of its Fizo near
Chicago, must cost a big pile of monoy
to keep trointr. to say nothing of the or

iuv. Tribune: Tho propositions in
relation to obtaining power for running

by Councilman Johnston is one that

city or town laying in the valley of the

obtaining cheap power for tho purpose
of running machinery as our city.
Directly north of the city the river is
narrower than at any other point that I
know of for miles. In the vicinity of
the North Platte bridge the velocity of
the current is fully seven miles per hour
and for years the current has been keep
ing the main channel of the North Platte
closely against the south bank of the
river. No more favorable location for a
powerful undershot water wheel that
would light the streets, run all the ma
chinery of the town, and if necessary
heat the bouses and cook the food of
the citizens by electricity and do other
work of various kinds, can be found any
where along the river than wo have in
the vicinity of the bridge. We have a
water power here that is directly avail
able. AH that will be required is the
wheel, its support and the machinery to
secure the power. The wheel can be
made by any carpenter and if necessary
placed in position by him.
We have a far greater power readily
and cheaply available than tho combined
powers of a half a dozen Gothenburgs
and Kearneys, and this without the ex
pense of lengthy cannals, lakes and
waste wiers.
The only engineering required would
be the riprapping of the south bank of
tho river and perhaps driving a few
piles or running a wing dam up the river
to divert and throw the water when the
river is low against the wheel.
This principal, of securing power by
undershot wheels is neither new nor
original, but is one that has been in use
for centuries. It is one of the cheapest
nnd easiest applied means for obtaining
power from water. We have an abun
dance of it going to waste the year
round. The only; difficulty., would be
the-freezing Tnjwtnter, but this could be
overcome byTncreasing the velocity of
the water passing under the wneel. The
only question is hvS the-residents of
North Platte'st mcienfr ability to secure
harness .and utilize this power' they
should- have? '

U.-.U woor, postmaster
is largely proven by the great
seepage in tho Gothenburg canal. An
othor proposition has been suggested
that the city secure power upon the
Birdwood by the construction of a canal
and dam at that point and thence
through machinery transmit by wire the
power to our city. The difficulties here
would be the first expense of a power,
canal, tail race, and tho wire line. But
the greatest difficulty would bo tho loss
of power through the wire in the lenghty
transmission to our city. Probably
twentyper cent ot actual power would
be lost. Then the difficulty of doing
the work and having the power housejso
far away, and again tbo ice in winter
would give as much trouble or more
than we would hnve with our current
wheel nt homo. .
This proposition of Councilman John
ston's is a vital one to our city and i"b
worthy careful inquiry, and investiga
tion. It ia practical and would save us
thousands of dollars that is expended in
fuel, besides make us a manufacturing
centerfor western Nebraska. The only
question is havo we men on tho board or
in the city to push tho proposition?
Respectfully, I. A. Fort.

They Might Walk Back.
I went up to the White House recent
ly," said Representative Kilgore, "and
of course I had a Texan in tow. "Mr.
President, I said, 'this gentleman is a
good man. He wants a consulate ia
Mexico.'
"The president said, 4Phew-w-wr
" 'Why do you whistle?' I asked.
"'Because he wants a consulate in
Mexico,' said the president. 'You know
very well that I dislike to appoint Tex-
ans to those positions.'
" 'Now, Mr. President, I said, "yon
will excuse my 'speaking plainly, but
this prejudice against men from my state
holding federal positions in Mexico is the
most confounded nonsense on record. I
grant that it might apply to the candi
date for minister, for he handles interna
tional questions, but a consul is nothing
more nor less than a business man. His
official acts are almost entirely of a com
mercial.character. Texans are constant
ly doing business with Mexico. The
trade relations of the two countries are
very close.'
" 'Well, said the president, I didn't
make this prejudice, but it exists, and
we are compelled to defer to it. Your
friend must widen tho scope of his ap1
plication. Let him make out a list of
the consulates ho would be willing to
take, naming them in the order "of his
preference, and I will see what I can do.'
"It's a singular thing," added the con
gressman reflectively, "that nearly all of
my people who have come to Washing

anything elso and they generally apply
for places in Mexico, which they can't

Tho Expulsion of Jew From Kauia.
There surely ought -to.be sufficient ex
perience of the methods of the Russian
government to discount 'the attempts at
denial or tne.repon sen? to tms country
bv Mr., Harold Frederiri concerning the
expulsion of Jews from Poland. These
ready denials are familiar phenomena.
That is the manner in which Russia seeks
.to forestall unfavorable- comment and
righteous indignation.
Curiously enough; th rase is always
mccessful, nor ia it to be wondered at
When it can succeedm securing the ac
tive assistance of - a ,Umtee" States nank-

time he was giving this misrepresenta
tion Jews were being expelled en masse.
The testimony adduced by Mr. Fred
erick in substantiation of his report in
regard to the expulsions now going on
in Poland is corroborated by the arrivals
of Jews from Poland in Germany and
in this country. The bare denials of the
press dispatches based on the official ut

are utterly untrustworthy. American

Boiling Water During tho Summer.
A medical friend of the Listener
writes him to do something to arouse
public sentiment betimes to the duty of
filtering and boiling drinking water this
summer. Ho thinks that, in view of the
possibility of cholera, people should ac
quire the water boiling habit as soon as
possible. No doubt this is qmte true.
And, cholera or no cholera, there are no
end of germs in tho ordinary water of
Boston and the towns about. It is real
ly extraordinary how our people have
kept up so long tho practice of drinking
water without filtering or boiling it,
and still more extraordinary, no doubt,
that we should cool our water by put
ting ico into it, when it can be cooled
just as effectively by putting a large
bottle of it corked into a refrigerator or
otherwise into contact with ice.
A good way out of the difficulty, if
one thinks he does not like boiled water,
is to drink no water at all. There are
plenty of other things to drink. From
all accounts, cholera can be taken only
through the stomach, and there is noth
ing so discouraging to a microbe of any
sort as a temperature of 212 degrees.

Summer Styles For Men.
This summer we are going to be
governed by very simple rules. The
key to the entire scheme of dress is
modesty. Nothing can be overdone on
that side. Extremely quiet colors, the
darker tones predominating, and very
little jewelry to set the ensemble off, is
tEe edict. Brilliants and bright shining
gold ornaments are tabooed. It is bad
form to wear diamonds, large watch
chains, bejeweled lockets and charms,
diamond rings and diamond pins. Large
cuff jewelry or scarf jewelry should not
be worn at any time.
The proper jewelry for the scarf is a
small gold pin ornamented with pearls.
The coronet, butterfly, clover leaf and
other devices are popular. These pins are
of dull finished gold, and very little of
that precious metal shows. The link
buttons should be of dull finished gold
without any jewels. The shirt studs
should be of the same metal and finish.
Watch chains should be of small deli
cate links of gold and should run from
the watch pocket straight across the vest
to the pocket on the other side. Haber

A cable dispatch from the European
Union of Astronomers to Mr. J. Ritchie,
Jr., of the Harvard college observatory,
announces the discovery of Finlay's
periodical comet by Finlay himself at
the observatory of the Cape of Good
Hope. The comet is faint, being of the
eleventh magnitude, circular and with
out condensation of light. Its position
May 13 at Washington, midnight, was:
Right ascension 23 hours 42 minutes 1
second; declination, south, 5 hours-1
minute 50 seconds.
This comet was originally discovered
hy Finlay in November, 1886, and was.
onnd to be moving in an orbit of seven,
"wrs' period.
