The members of the republican county central committee are re spectfully called to meet at the courthouse, in North Platte, on Saturday, March 14th. 1896, at one o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of determining the man ner of selecting delegates to the state convention to be held at Lin coln on April 15th, 1896, and for the transaction of such other busi ness as may properly come before the meeting-. A full representa tion is desired, as important bust ness reaching- through paign of '96 is liable to the cam come bs- fore the committee. G. C. McAllister, Chairman. These spring-like daj-s are pro ductive of presidential boomlsts. The latest to be propagated is that of our junior senator, John M. Thurston, by the Colorado Ameri can, the leading paper of the Ne groes in Washington. At the head or tail of the nation al ticket Senator Quay would be in the wrong place, but at the head of the national commitee he would be in the rijrht place. Carter, of, course, will have to be .deposed, and Pennsylvania's junior senator is the man to succeed him. Cuba this year will furnish only one-sixth the usual exports ot sugar, but the production of beet sugar in Europe last j'ear was greater by a million tons than in 1894. All of which goes to prove that the United States should raise its own sugar. - .i. - Henry D. Estabrook having- re moved to Chicago, Governor Hol comb has appointed Victor Rose water as regent of the state uni versity in place of the former. The appointee was numerously endorsed by the professors, yet it is probable that "Rosev's" pull with pop politi cians was the more potential power. .,- Silver senators have reached a consensus regarding the overwhelm ing vote against them in the house. They pronounce it of no conse quence, and just an incidental aber ration of misguided legislation. The fact that the verdict is as fresh from the people as any vote in congress can be cuts no with the senate. figure A prominent railroad man who has just returned from London re ports that confidence in American credit and securities has been re stored, but that the English finan ciers say the only safe policy for us is to make the revenues equal to expenditures, which is equivalent to saying that the republican party should be restored to power. Ft. Collins, Col., society is all a&ST over babies' receptions, where the little tots less than six months of age are the honored guests of the occasion. Such little diversions would no doubt prove pleasureable and popular in North Platte, as she is abundantly able to supply an unlimited number of guests of honor for these affairs. Another good populist brother gone wrong-. This time it is Elias Baker, late clerk of the- district court for Lancaster county, who is said to be short in his accounts from $6,000 to 10.000. He only held the office one term, and his shortage is supposed to have been occasioned by the large sums of money he ex pended last fall to secure his re election. 'Tis thus our reformers reform. The Sixth district papers an nounce that Hon. A. E. Cady of St. Paul has decided to become a candi date for congressman. Cady will reclaim the populistic stronghold to the republican party. He is clean, honorable in politics as in business, and a fighter that Gover nor 'Si" will find worthy of his steel. Hall county is interested in the success of the ticket in the big Sixth, as the senatorial and judi cial districts of which Hall county is a part, will be greatly strength ened by putting- such men as Cady to lead the battle, Grand Island Independent. A Chicago scientist is desirous that Perrine's comet will strike the earth next month for the benefit of scientific research. He admits that the collision might not prove entirely harmless to the people of this planet Of what benefit will science prove to us when we are all dead? This sort of logic is like that of some "pops" who are honest enough to admit that the putting in operationof someof their petgov ernmental ideas might not prove pleasant nor profitable to the peo ple, yet they are anxious to put them in practice in the endeavor to prove their theory. Assistant United States district attorney S. R. Rush has gone to St. Louis to get the permission of Judge Caldwell and when he re turns it is expected that he will be gin suits against the Union Pacific Railway company for some sections of land which the railway claims. The first grant made to the Union Pacific was of every alternate sec tion for twenty miles on each side of the track, except for a large number of sections which were either occupied by settlers or had been secured by some one under the homestead or pre-emption act. Many of these sections were aban doned or neglected by the owners and fell into the hands ot tbe com pany and were bought by other set tlers later from the railroad com pany. The ownership of these tracts was confirmed to the rail road company until about 1880 when the interior department de cided that the land belonged to the government and that the settlers must get their patents from the government and not from the rail roads. The railroad company has fought this decision several times but has been beaten, but has not settled for the land. By the act of congress passed a few years ago these suits by the government against the Union Pacific for the value of these lands must be begun before March 3, 1896, and it is thus proposed to begin this suit and bring the matter to a settlement. The amount of the land is not known but it is supposed to be many thousands of acres. THE TOREENS SYSTEM OF TITLES. As an evidence in the way which business is expedited and money saved under the Torrens' system of land title just adopted in Illinois this year the following extract from the the Chicago Inter Ocean is apropos. Some day some progres sive Nebraska legislator will have the same system adopted in this state, and all the people will rise up and call him blessed. "The shortest time on lakinsr a real estate record for loan was scored yesterday afternoon that is, for Europe or America. In Aus tralia they have been doing these things for years. At 1:30 o'clock yesterday Mrs. Ellen F. Hobbs was given by Registrar Chase her certi ficate of title in a certain piece ot real estate under the Torrens sys tem; the description is immaterial for the elucidation of the incident. At 3:15 o'clock a trust deed for $8,000 from C. T. Reynolds & Son from M. W. Kerwin was filed for record. This means the work of at least twenty days under the old system was condensed to less than two hours under the new method, being a complete indorsement of what the friends of the Torrens system of land title registration and transfer have claimed for the method in this connection; that is ease in making sales or loans, de sire to make purchase or sale being granted. The certificate saved the time necessary to make the abstract say ten days as a minimum. It also saved the time necessary to examine and report on the same by the attorney, say ten days. The financial saving depends on the fee that would have been paid abstrac ters and lawyers under the old sys tem, say S50 as a minimum, as against S21.50, the cost under the Torrens method. Registrar Chase feels properly enthusiastic. So do the members of the board of exam iners." Dr. A. P. Sawyer I have had Rheumatism since I was 20 years old, but since- usins y.ur Family Cure have been free from it. It also cared my husband of the same disease. Mrs . Root. Con nelly. Brooklyn, Iowa. Sold by F. H. Longley. Woman In New Jersey. The alarmed male lords of New Jer sey take up their last ceusns to find that the women have a baudsoruo majority in their state. Withoue end of the state fed by New York and the other by Phil adelphia tho girls find tho sands of Jer- sey an excellent field for employment. Many of the German women, a largo element of the female population of the state, engage in field work on the farms. But what is most significant is tho fact ' that the females increase much fastarj by birth than the males. Is this to be ' considered a fixed tendency under the t present conditions of American civiliza- j tion? Some statisticians aver that it is. In several states, on tbe basis of univer-! sal suffrage, the women, if they chose to ' unite, would run thiuR3. They could outvote the men in New Jersey today. ! The likelihood of a woman "combine" against man even under a universal suf frago regime is not a contingency great-! ly to be feared. Nevertheless the citizen who votes should have a care. Unless he behaves himself , who can tell what may i happen to him in a coming age, when women may outnumber men all along the line? Elmira Telegram. I Suinas on Women. Alexandre Dnmas was a strong cham pion of equal rights for women. "Is it not absurd,"ho said, "that Joan of Arc, if now among us, could not serve as a witness of the birth of a neighbor's child or vote for town councilor in any part of tho fair France she saved? ' Franco was proud of Do Sevigne, De Stael and George Sand, but refused them tho civil and political rights ex ercised by their coachmen. " i Dr. A. P. Sawyer Sir: After suffering four years with female weakness I was persuaded by a friend to try your PasUlles, and alter using them for one year, I can say I am entirely well. I can not recommend them too highly. Mrs. M. S. Brook Bronson, Bethel Branch Co., Mich. For sale by F. IL Longley. Highest of all In Leavening RtiV&l Barons jL r jMgjggga Powder Absolutely pure THE ORCHESTRA. Upon tho mountain's morning side The players, nil in feathered cuats, On treo tops hwIiik, In thickets hido. And sound preliminary notes. Tho violinists horo and thcro Tuno nil their many tarings unseen; Long sloping tones aro In tho air, With pizzicato bits between. Hark, 'tin a Auto's roulado so near That rovols gay and unafraid I And thcro tho clarinet rings clear Its mellow trill from yonder glado. Tho gcntlo tappings of a drum Sound where tho beeches thinner grow; Nearer a humorist is cozno Upon his droll bassoon to blow. And now a 'cello from afar Breathes out its human, dim appeal A voico as from a distant star Whero mortals work their woo and weal. Then down a sylvan aislo I gaze. And to my musing senso it seems A leader mounts a stamp and sways His baton liko a man of dreams. And hero behold a marvel wrought! For marshaled in a concord sweet Tho blending fragments all aro brought To tuno and harmony complete. Is it a masterpiece that men Havo heard before and found it good? Is this tho Bhineland o'er again? Am I with Siegfried in the wood? Nay, for this priceless hour 'tis mino To share with nature's audienco A symphony too rare and fino For skill of human instruments. Leader, what music hast thou stirred! Players, still heed him every onol And God bo thanked for every bird That sings beneath tho summer sun. M. A. do Wolfo Howe, Jr., in Youth's Com panion. A BOOKKEEPER, "Brr what a fogl" said the good man stepping out into tho street. He quickly turns np his coat collar, covers his month with his muffler, bends down his head, and, thrusting his hands into his coat pockets, he sets out for the office, whistling on the way. Without doubt a regular fog. Not so very thick in the streets, because in the heart of Paris fog, like snow, does not stay long. It is pierced and torn by the many roofs, absorbed by the walls, and gradually loses itself in tho interior of dwellings, oven when the doors are open, making the stairs slippery and the bal usters moist. The movement of many vehicles and the passing to and fro of the early crowd driven out to work by the pressure of poverty cut it np, carry it away, disperse it, dropping it on the clothes of tho office boys, wetting the waterproofs of the shopgirls and dim ming their thin, sleazy voils. But at the docks, still silent and de serted, on the Tiridges, the shore and the river, it is Mill a dense, heavy mist, opaque, immovable, and the rising sun behind the church of Notre Dame seems shining like a night lamp through a tarnished cover. Despite the wind and tho mist, our good man follows the docks. He could easily take another road to reach his of fice, but the docks havo a mysterious attraction for him. He seems to take pleasure in walking along the parapets, in grazing the stone balusters bearing the elbow marks of loungers. At that hour and in such weather the louugers are few only hero and there do we seo a woman carrying a basket of clothes leaning against the parapet, or some poor wretch resting upon his el bows and gazing into tho water with a weary look. Our good man regards them a little closely the water is so con- veniently near them and there seems to be in his mind somo strange connecting thought as he looks at them and the river. Tho river is not cheerful this morning; the fog mounting between its waves seems to deaden the surface. Tho black roofs on tho shore, with pipes jutting out unevenly from the chimneys, give a dim reflection of fog and smoke. Our good man does not seem to find this at all melancholy. He is thoroughly drenched with the drizzle, but he plods on with a pleasant smile at the corner of his mouth. Long, long ago, he became accustom ed to these foggy mornings on the Seine. Besides, he knows that a little distanco farther on, at his office, he will find a snug, well lined foot warmer, a good fire in his stove and a warm plate for his breakfast. These are tbe joys of a bookkeeper a prisonlike happiness known ouly to tho poor stunted creatures whose lives are passed in dark corners. "I must not forget to buy some apples,"-says our good man to himself from time to time. And he whistles and hasteus along. You have rarely seen one hurry to his work more cheerfully. Docks, and still nothing but docks, finally a bridge, and we are behind the Notre Dame. Here the fog is much moro intense. It comes from three points at once, almost blots out the high towers 0f the church, and gathers in a thick mass at the angles of tho bridge, as if striving to conceal something, Our good man stops. He is at his place of work. Dimly in the dark shad ows we can distinguish some forms on the sidewalk, bending over as if waiting for some oue. And, much like the vend ers at the hospital gates and public squares, they have large flat baskets fill ed with oranges, apples and crackers. Ah, tho beautiful apples, fresh and rosy in the mist! Our good man fills his pockets, smil ing at the apple woman, who shivers with the cold though her feet are en cased in a foot warmer. Then he pushes through the fog and touches a door, opens it and crosses a small court, where a cart is standing, with the horse har nessed. "Is there anything for us this morn ing?" he asks, as he passes along. "Yes, sir, and something very genteel too." Then he quickly enters his office. It is very warm and comfortable there; the stove crackles in the corner, the foot Warmer is in its place, and his armchair is waiting for him close up to the win dow in a good light. The fog makes a mellow curtain over the window panes, giving a mild and uniform light. Big ledgers with green green their ' backs are ranged in order on Power. -Latest U. S. Gov't Report BholveH. Ouo would say a notary' offlc and study. Our good muu breathes at ease. Ho fs at homo. Before beginning his work he opens a largo closet, takes out a pair of heavy silk sleeves, which bo draws on carefully; also a little red plate and some pieces of sugar. He then peels his apples with an air of satisfaction. The fact is, one could hardly find a more cheerful little offlco, better lighted or arranged in such good order. But, sin gularly enough, one hears the noise of water everywhere; it surrounds you, envelops you, very much as if you were in the cabin of a steamer. Below you the Seine rolls and tum bles at the archos of the bridge, making heaps of foam at this point, always clog ged by floating debris. Even in the house itself, all around the office, there is a noise of trickling water. I know not why, but tho sound makes you shiver. It drops upon a hard surface and, re bounding, falls upon a broad stone floor. There are marble tables which make it seem still more cold. What do they wash at this strange laundry? What ineffaceable stain? At times, when tho trickling and pattering cease, down below we hear the sound of solitary drops of water, one by one, like snow in a thaw or tbe beginning of a shower. We might think the fog was condensing, gathering upon the walls and continually dripping. It does not dis turb our good man. He is entirely taken up with his apples, which are beginning to steam in the little red plate, giving out a faint perfume of burned sugar, and the pretty song seems to prevent him from hearing the sound of the wa tersthat horriblo dripping I "Are you ready, recorder?" says a hoarse voice from the adjoining room. Oqr recorder casts a glance at his apples and leaves them, with regret. Through the half open door a current; of cold air, smelling of reeds and marshes, strikes him, and a vision of clothes hanging on a line faded blouses, workingmen's garments, a calico dress stretched at full length by the sleeves and dripping, dripping I He has finished and re-enters. He Iay3 down upon the table some small objects, all wet, and goes to tho stove to thaw out his fingers, benumbed and reddened by the cold. "They must havo been mad in such weather as this," he said shivering. "What is the matter with them all?" When he is again comfortably warm, and when the sugar melts and runs over the sido of the plate, he breakfasts in a corner of the office. While eating he opens one of his great books and com placently turns over the leaves. This big book is beautifully kept ; the lines are straight and headed with blue ink, with little reflections of gold powder and a blotter for every page. Everything is in perfect order. Business seems to be good. Our re corder has the contented air of an ac countant looking over a good balance at the end of tho year. While he turns over the pages with delight they open tho doors of the ad joining room. There is the sound of a crowd upon the stone pavement and hushed voices as if in a church. "Oh, how young sho is! What a pity 1" And thero is a hushing and a whis pering. What is it to our good man whether she is young or not? He tran quilly finishes his apples and draws to ward him the objects which he placed on the table but a short time before. A thimble full of sand, a pocketbook containing a pop, a little pair of rusted scissors, so rpsted that they never can be used again. Oh, something else! A working girl's book, all the pages stuck together; atom, defaced letter a few words aro still legible "the child no money a month as a nurse." The bookkeeper shrugs his shoulders as if to say, "I have seen all that be fore." Then ho takes his pen, blows away carefully the bread crumbs which have fallen upon his book, makes a lit tle preparatory gesture before getting his hand in the proper position, and then, in large round letters, he writes, Felicie Rameau, metal burnisher, age 17 years." From tho French of Al- phonse Daudet in Short Stories. Movin an Indian Settlement. Many a time, while the morning stars were still shining, I have watched tho mother dismantle the tent poles, wrench them out of their earth sockets, and lash mem, two on a sine, to a meeic pony that had outlived his skittish days, and was now to be trusted with the little ones, who would ride in a comfortable nest made of the folded tent cover fas tened between the trailing poles. Before ponies were obtainable dons were the burden bearers, and in somo remote places they are still used. Great were tho snarls and quarrels incident to a dog train. Often an irritable fellow would find himself on his back or caught by his poles, so that he became frantic with impotent rage. When ford ing a stream, the children and the pup pies were carried over on tbe backs of women; the dogs and ponies had to plunge for themselves. "Tribal Life Among the Omabas," by Alice C. Fletcher, in Century. Japanese Occultism. You talk about tbe miracles of India, but Japanese occultism isn't to be de spised. The Indian adept will throw a rope into tho air and lasso an imagi nary peg, then climb up tho rope, throw it still higher and climb a second time, after which he will disappear altogether. That is very well, and I should like to see it done. Herrmann says he can du plicate most things, but I imagine he would be puzzled by this feat. The Jap anese adept is not behindhand with his wonders. He has a ladder, and in place of the ordinary rungs he has 12 swords as sharp as razors. After a lot of incan tations he begins to mount the ladder and doesn't stop until he reaches the up permost rung. I don't think I should like to do it with bare feet, but it would be a delight to see some one else do it whose fet are not as valuable a3 mine are to mo. The old song runs, "I don't know how to do it, but you da "New vnrk ht9m. SHE TOOK THE PRIZE. M!s Mella Taylor Is Declared the Pret tiest Girl In Iowa. Miss Melissa Taylor, who possesses tho distinction of being the prettiest girl in Iowa, is the daughter of Mr. aud Mr. H. M. Taylor of Albia.

With this gift she unites a sweet, womanly disposition and a charm ing manner, which win for her a place in the hearts of all who meet her. Chi cago Tribune. aiodera Woman's Strength. Whatever may bo thought of the pre tensions to intellectual advance put for ward on behalf of the modern woman, there ia at least no denying her physical and muscular progress. Brought to the test of actual results, her claim to men tal superiority over tho woman who thought and worked and achieved in a less assertive age becomes by no means easy to establish. With all the exultant fuss about higher education and the equality of the sexes, we look in vain today for worthy successors to some of those gifted and brilliant women of the past who, quietly and without the aid of advertisement, wrote their name upon the history of their time. But when ic comes to a question of physical comparison the new feminine genera tion has far better reason to congratu late itself and pity its grandmothers. London World. Kemarkablo Twins. Tillie and Lizzie of Philadelphia, 19 years old, are remarkable twins, if tho stories told of them be true. When one suffers pain, the other feels it also. Either sister can find the other in a crowd of any size "without hunt jpg,"as they express it. The resem. bJance between the two girls, is remarkr able. Both weigh exactly the gamp. Their recollections of past events are precisely the same. Neither one can re call a single occurrence that did not happen in the presence of both. It takes the minds of both to retain a lasting recollection of any happening, but when the fact is once impressed upon tho minds of both, neither one forgets its least important feature. Ueur York's I.czal Women. New York's list of lawyers includes the names of many talented young wom en. The first woman to win a prize at a regular law school was Miss Nellie Ti tus, now an active and successful law yer. Miss Florence Dangerfield, who was chosen president out of a class of 90 men, is a young woman who has al ready distinguished herself in her pro fession. The versatility of Mrs. Theo dore Sntro, who was valedictorian of her class in tho law school of the Uni versity of New York, is well known. The first woman to be admitted to the bar in this city was Miss Kate Stoner man, a friend and coworker of Dr. Lo zier. New York World. Jeanne dc Chantal. Mme. Jeanne de Chantal, superior of the religious Order of Providence, is dead. Sho was G8 years old. When the Prussians came into France in 1870, she was superior of the Chateaudun commu nity. She concealed in the cellars of the convent a great number of soldiers and guerrillas. Ono of the latter was captur ed and ordered to be shot. She stood be tween him and the squad, and the order to fire was not given. A convoy of wounded French soldiers was ordered to Germany, but she stood in front of it, and the soldiers were returned to the ambulance. This achievement has been made the subject of a celebrated paint ing. Sirs. Louis C. Koehlo. Mrs. Louis C. Eoehle of Baltimore is skilled in working tapestry and in paint ing on silk and china. She has employ ed her spare hours in these pursuits for years, and her house is filled with beau tiful things of her own making. During the national W. C. T. U. convention at Baltimore she became interested in the Armenian question, and wishing to raise money for tho relief fund she lately threw open her house and invited her friends to come and see all it contained that was worth seeing. She charged no admission feo, but every visitor contrib uted what he or she chose. The result was $77 for the relief fund. Mrs. Eoehle says she "wanted to do something, but did not know what to do, so she thought and thought, and finally she thought of that." Here is a hint for other society women. Woman's Journal. Jfew Woman Pastor In Boston. The Hev. Ellen Van Anderson, who was recently made pastor -of the new Church of the Higher Life in Boston, was ordained without ever having pur sued a courso In theology. Her traiuing for her work was gained through her connection with various transcendental cults, of which the new church is the outcome. The new woman pastor was born in Iowa and is about So years old. She is fair and fashionable, and an in teresting episode of her pastorate was a threat on the part of her followers that unless she modified the gayety of her at tire serious offense would be taken. Miss Anderson now preaches in sober garb. 4
