Six Months, cash In advanco 75 Cents. Entered at the NorthPIatle (Nebraska) postoffice as second-cla6 matter. ELEVEN YEAB8 OLD. With this issue The Tribune be gins its twelfth year, having been issued ten years as a weekly and one year as a semi-weekly. Like all other business concerns, the pa per has felt the effects of dull times during the past year, yet the editor has not missed a meal for lack of funds to pay for it, nor have the printers struck because they did not receive their pay promptly. For these conditions the editor is duly thankful; and he is also grate ful for the patronage given the pa per by business men and others. Tbe paper will continue to make its semi-weekly visits, and if the present bright prospects for a re vival of business are realized, it will be materially increased in size. Edison says that science will be compelled to offer suggestions for defending our seacoasts in time- of war. He believes that water can be made availiable as a partial means of blowing up warships so deadly that no living tiling can exist in them and huge steel cruisers quite a distance out can be blown to atoms by mechanism located upon the shore. The North Platte Tribune asks: "How about Jack MacColl as a gubernatorial candidate?" "Well Jack dosen't appear to be very much in evidence these days, and it is doubtful whether he cares to make another flyer for the govern orship; but whether it shall be Mac Coll or some other man from this section, it will be sufficient to have the governor hail from this corner of the state. Kearney Hub. We acknowledge the receipt of the almanac and encyclopedia issued by the Lincoln State Journal and have no hesitancy in pronouncing, it the equal of the almanacs issued by the metropolitan papers of the country. This almanac contains 400 pages of statistics and other useful information, and as a refer ence book is very handy. It is mailed postpaid for 25 cents by the Journal Co. E. B. Warner, ot this city, is mentioned as a candidate for dele- gate-at-large to the republican na tional convention at St. Louis next June. It is believed that Nebraska will send a McKinley delegation to that convention, and as Mr. Warner was the only delegate from Nebras ka who cast his vote for McKinley in the convention ot 1892, it would seem that the stand he took tor the great protectionist at that time should entitle him to recognition when the selection of delegates to the coming convention is made. The list of aspirants for the re publican nomination for congress in this district is large and steadily growing. Among those spoken ot are some strong men and also some mighty weak ones. What the re publican convention should do is to nominate the man who possesses the ability to make a live, earnest representative and who will also poll the full vote of the party. The Sixth district is. we believe, republican-by a small plurality, and with three tickets in the field a strong republican candidate can win. even though Governor Si is nominated by the populists. One of the most notorious green goods swindlers, Vosburg, was dis charged from custody the day be fore Christmas in New York, where he had been on trial for swindling a Nebraska farmer out of 5500. His lawyer made a plea for clem ency based upon the ground that his client had never sought to take human life and he concluded by saying: "In brief let the law be merciful, and grant a suspension of sentence on account of Christmas and the crucifixion of our Lord." Recorder Goff. that remarkable re form official, actually barkened to the plea and did discharge the no torious swindler on the council's promise that Vosburg should ab stain from crime in the future. Vosburg is an aged man whose lite is a record of crime and who could no more obey the law than he could fly. It will probably not be thirty days before he swindles another vic tim. One remark of the recorder'?, however, is worthy of notice. He expressed the belief , that the far mer who comes to purchase counter feit money should be punished as a felon. There is truth in this, but that is no reason why Vosburg should, have been turned loose upon the community. Council Bluffs Nonpareil, Dr. A. P. Sawyer Sir: After suffering four years -with female weakness I was persuaded by a friend to try your Pastilles, and after using them for one year, I can say I am entirely well . I can not recommend them too highly. Mrs. M. 8. Brook Bronsoo, Bethel Branch Co., Mich. For sale by F. H. Longley. , TE ANS VA AL INVASION THE CRISIS IS ENDANGERING THE ANGLO-GERMAN RELATIONS. President Kramer Determined to Repel the British by Force of Anns Sketch of Dr. Jameson's Ufe Was the Prime BIoTez Za the Ma tab el e War. London, Jan. 2. A dispatch, from The Hague to The Times says that the Rotterdam Checoyrant regards Dr. Jameson's action in the Transvaal as a most flagrant example of British arro gance. It admits that Holland can do nothing for the Boers and fears that Eoglandwill seize the opportunity to wipe out the stain of the Majuba Hill Incident. It also expresses the, hope that Germany will come to the rescue. The Berlin correspondent of The Times says: "Thecriiis is clearly en dangering the Anglo-German relations. Public opinion is excited and angry and without doubt the government will in terfere because relations have gradually arisen between the Transvaal and Ger many, which have assumed in the pub lic mind almost the shape of a moral protectorate by Germany over the Transvaal." It is stated that President Kruger has telegraphed to Colonial Secretary Cham berlain pledging his government that the Beers shall temporarily adopt a pas sive attitude toward Dr. Jameson's forces on its arrival outside of Johan nesberg. An important feature of this arrangement between Mr. Clamberlain and President Kruger is that all respon sibility for hostility will rest with the chartered South Africa company. Sketch of Dr. Jameson's Life. Dr. Jameson, the leader of the party of British South Africa company sym pathizers now engaged, apparently in an invasion of the Transvaal, is the ad ministrator for the British South Africa company's territory in Mashonal and Matabele lands. He is the son of a Scotch journalist and was educated for the medical profession. But just as he began to make his mark as a practi tioner in Glasgow, he decided to go to South Africa, and in the early '70s he reached the diamond fields and soon ac quired a high reputation and it remun erative practice in the treatmont of ty phoid malerial diseases as"camp fever," which is very prevalent in the South Africa mining districts. In fact Dr. Jameson was so successful that he was upon the point of returning to Scotland when he was persuaded by Mr. Cecil Rhodes, the premier of Cape Colony, to enter the service of the British South Africa company, in which not only Mr. Rhodes, but all his friends, are under stood to bo largely interested. CONFLICT IS EXPECTED DAILY. President Krngcr Determined ta Repel the British by Force of Arm. Berlin, Jan. 2. A cable dispatch re ceived here from Pretoria says a rising has occurred at Johannesburg. It is added that 300 more armed men belong ing to British chartered company have crossed the frontier and that President Kruger is determined to repel the free booters by force of arms. A conflict be tween the Boers and England is expect ed at any time. In discussing the invasion of Trans vaal by Dr. Jamison and the forces of the British South Africa company, all the newspapers here declare his action constitutes a serious and unjustifiable breach of the peace against which Ger many must protest. The National Zeitung remarks that German interests demand the mainten ance of the independence of the South African republic, and it expects that the government will vigorously defend and come to President Kreuger's aid in case of necessity. POET LAUREATE OF ENGLAND. Bestowed on Alfred Anstin ns n Tsew Year's Honor by the Queen. London, Jan. 2. Among the New Year's honors which have been gazetted are the appointment of Alfred Austin to be poet laureate of England; Sir Fred erick Leighton and Mr. Henry Hucks Gibbs to be peers of the realm; Sir Henry Temple, ex-member of parlia ment, and Mr. C. B. Stuart-Wortley to be privy councillor, and Colonel Howard Vinvent and Judge H. P. P. Crease of British Columbia have been knighted. Prussian Mine Horror. Breslau, Jan. 2. An explosion of fire damp oenrred in a colliery at Yal denburg, Prussia Silesian,40 miles south west of this city, today. Fifty persons are known to have been killed or in jured, and 17 others are missing Twenty-one bodies have already been recovered, and 12 of the injured miners have been brought to the surface of the mine. The work of recovering the bodies of the others is progressing, and everything possible is being done for the injured. Franco and Russia With Us. Vienna, Dec. 31. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Frie Presse an nounces that France and Russia have actually promised diplomatic support to the United States in the Venezuelan trouble, and he adds that Russia is pre pared to facilitate the United States loan with her own gold reserve. Active Military Preparations. New York, Jan. 2. A special to The World from Caracas says: Active mili tary preparations are going on. Gen eral Garcia Gomez has been appointed to command the troops organized in the federal districts. He has ordered that all males between J 8 and 50 who have been enrolled be drilled immediately. Miller Speaks For Morton. Hew York, Jan. 2. Ex-Senator "War ner Miller says that Governor Morton lias authorized his friends to say that he had consented to become a candidate for president of the United States. Chauncey M. Depew would not discuss the subject, but announced that he woui'd soon give out a statement con cerning; the matter. The stock men of the sand hills are being- ruined by this wholesale stealing- of cattle from their herds and something must be done to stop it or failure of the owners will result. The Register believes there is an organized movement on foot to rid the country of cattle thieves, and those who are engaged in this unlawful-business will do well to take warning. Chappell Register.

Baltimore, Dec. 29. The horror at the Front Street theater last night, caused by a foolish cry of fire, resulting in a senseless panic, is increased rather than abated by today's developments.

A special to The Commercial from Lebanon, Ky.. says: Within two miles of this city a relentless mob burned to death a preg nant woman and riddled with bullets her gray haired paramour. The blackened and disfigured corpses of the victims, Mrs. Thomas West and Will iam Deveres, were found in the ruins of the woman's home by the 14-year-old daughter of the murdered man The tragedy was one of the most brutal ever enacted under the gruesome sway of dread judge lynch. Despite the plead ings for her father's lifcof a half clad, frightened child and the prayers and tears of the ill and helpless woman, the mob went through with its work with cold blooded, cruel deliberation, and only left when certain that both the man and woman were dead. The affair was the outgrowth of the old story of a faithless wife and a revenge ful husband. BOUNDARY COMMISSION. President Cleveland Has Selected' FItb Members. Washington, Jan. 2.

The commission is regarded here among those who had an opportunity to see the list of names after they were made public as a very satisfactory one, whoso opinions and conclusions will be received by the American public with that confidence which the standing of the members of the commission in tho public eye inspires. FERGUSON STARTED THE FIGHT. Third Victim of the Victor Shooting Affray Not Expected to Live. Victor, Colo., Jan. 2. Just what caused the shooting at the Union theater, in which at least two and probably three lives were sacrificed, is not known. It appears that Burt Ferguson, a denuty sheriff, went into the theater and threatened to shoot out the lights. George Smith,the proprietor, was called, and immediately the shooting began. Smith was shot dead, as was Tom Pas coe, a patron ,of the theater, while Fer guson was fatally wounded.

Baking Powder ' gQJJJ) BJJJ, PASSED. PRESIDENTIAL DEMAND HONORED IN FULL BY THE HOUSE. Provides For an Issue of 3 Per Cent Bonds, Emergency Measures Now Go to the Sen ate Congresiional Proceeding In De tail Spirited Dobate In tho Senate. Washington, Dec. 29. When the house convened today but three hours remained for debate on the bond bill. The vote by tho terms of the rulo under which the house was operating was to be taken at 3 o'clock. The attendance was large. Mr. Brossius (Rep., Pa.) opened the debate in favor of the bill. The debate was closed for the respect ive sides by Messrs. Crisp and Dalzell. The former insisted that the bill was a political measure really inten- em barrass the treasury, while tter said it was a plain business tion to save interest. Mr. Dalzell ui tacked the Carlisle interview of last night as a violation of the decencies of public life. At 3 p. m. a vote was taken on tho first section, and resulted as follows: Yeas, 169; nays, 136. Forty-seven Re publicans voted with the Democrats and Populists against the bill. The second section of the bond bill was then passed without a division. HOUSE PASSED THE TARIFF BILL. Designed to Raise 840,000,000 For the Be lief of the Treasury. Washington, Dec. 28. The house yesterday responded to the appeal of the president by parsing a tariff bill, tho operation of which is limited to two and a half years, and which is designed to raise 40,000,000 for the relief of the , treasury. The vote was on party lines j with two exceptions. The special order under which the bill was brought to a vote at 5 o'clock, after three and a half hours of debate, was ironclad in its : character, and compelled the members to adopt or reject it without opportunity 1 of offering amendments of any kind. The bill as passed repeals the present tariff law until Aug. 1, 1898. It restores i 60 per cent of the McKinley rates on wool and woolens, lumber and carpers and makes a horizontal increase of the present rates in all other schedules, ex cept sugar, of 15 per cent. When the bill was put upon its passage, it was passed by 205 to 81, the vote being taken by yeas and nays. AGREED ON REORGANIZATION. Resolution Passed In the Senate by a Ma jority of Two. Washington, Dec. 31. Tho commit tees of the senate Monday passed into the control of the Republican.-- The change in the political complexion of tho committees was effected by the adoption of a resolution organizing the committees as agreecLto by the Repub lican and Democratic steering commit tees. The Pcpulists, with the exception of Mr. Kyle (S. D.), declined to vote and the Republicans having a plurality of the senate, were thus enabled to adopt the resolution by a vote of 30 to 28. Mr. Kyle voted with the Democrats against the reorganization. A 2-hour debate followed the adoption of the reso lution, the purposo of which was mainly political. The Democrats, under the" leadership of Senator Gorman, ably seconded by Senator Harris, attempted to show that the reorganization was effected by an alliance between the Re publicans and Populists, contending that the silence of tho latter, making possible the reorganization, indicated acquiecence. He also insisted that the Republican accomplishment of control saddled them with responsibility for leg islation. The Populists, led by Senator Allen (Neb ) and Senator Butler (N. C), denied that they were in any fashion responsible for the result. Before the reorganization, Henry Ca bot Lodge, the senator from Massachu setts who has made a brilliant reputa tion as an historical biographer, deliv ered an address on the Monroe doctrine. Although temperate in language, he took the ground that, unless we insisted 1 that Venezuela's dispute with Great Britain should be submitted to friendly arbitration, we would surrender the es sence, spirit and vital principle of the Monroe dectrine, which, he contended, was as essential to the safety and wel fare of the Americans as the balance of power was to the safety and welfare of European nations. i TO RESTORE THE GOLD RESERVE. Resolution Introduced by Senator Sherman to Protect Our Yellow Metal. Washington, Jan. 1. The senate held a 2-hcurs' session Tuesday, in the ' course of which a speech by Mr. Mitchell on the restoration of the Mc Kinley duties on wools was listened to and a resolution was passed for the in vestigation by the committee on naval affairs of the prices paid by the govern ment for ship armor. The resolution contained a broad intimation that officers of the government were inter ested in armor plate processes. The most important featuro of the session perhaps was a resolution offered by Mr. Sherman for th restoration of the gold reserve, which hereafter should be held sacred for tho redemption of the green backs and treasury notes, the former to be reissued only in exchange for gold coin and bullion. Mr. Elkins asked for the immediate consideration of a resolu lution apropos of the anticipated bond issue, declaring it to be the sense of the senate that no bonds of the United States should he sold at private sale or by private Contract, but should be disr posed of by advertisement to the highest bidder. Hill (N. Y.) objected. Oxnsrd Has No Hope. Washington, Jan. 2. Henry Oxnard, president of the Nebraska beet sugar company of that name, left for New York, after a careful canvass among senators as to the possibility of securing an amendment to the revenue bill now in the hands of the finance committee of the Benate. Mr. Oxnard is not san guine that any legislation looking to a betterment of beet sugar interests could be enacted &t this evesios. NEWS OF NEBRASKA.. Death of Ex-Judge Cole. Norfolk, Neb., Jan. 2.
