ISENHART, Mrs. S. E. DOUGLAS. It was not expected that McKin les inaugural address would please the popoerats. The president, how ever, was not bidding for their sup port when he wrote it. Japan" will go to the gold stand ard in October, and the Fremont Tribune wants to know if Mark Hanna is responsible for this orien tal outrage. He probably is in the ;eyes of Nebraska popoerats. The republican papers of the slate are a unit in denouncing the defaulting republican state officials. They have no use for men who be tray the confidence of the people who elect them to office, and mis use the funds of the state. Accoedikg to the latest estimates the supply of breadstuffs of Hie world will be sixty million bushels less on July 1, 1897, than it was July 1, 1896. This probably means that wheat will advance steadily in price fnr cotroml m unfile fn nnmp The Tribune speaks by card when it says the city marshalship will not be an issue in the city cam paign, so far as Mr. Evans is con cerned. That gentleman is mak ing no ante-election pledges and when elected mayor he will appoint as marshal a man who is qualified for the position and satisfactory to the citizens. Four. days after McKinley was inaugurated the price of hogs ad vanced ten cents per li unbred pounds in the local market. A Lincoln county populist farmer who held his hogs until March Sth in stead of selling them on March 1st. made over fifty dollars by his good judgment. This republican admin istration will be the cause of mak ing money for everybod7, especially the fanners. The Omaha Bee makes a perti nent inquiry. It wants to know why the amendmeut recount should stop with one of the twelve amend ments voted on at the last election. Of course the only answer is that the popoerats do not care for the liii.ll V A U . I U V t-IIUIl V illy II . V that may be made of one of them in seating a couple of partisan su preme judges. For instance, they have made a great hullabaloo about the investmentof the school fund. Why don't they recount the ballots cast for and against that particular amendment? Kearney Hub. nmpnrinipnr. tii-p f hor rrmn tho tico President McKinley, who did not think kindly of the recipro city clause in the 1890 tariff act, is now fully in accord with that policy and in his inaugural address said": uT 1 1 : t a. i. i j ii me itjvisiuii ut tue tarnr especial attention should be given to the re enactment and extension of the rec iprocity principle of the law of 1890, under which so great a stimu lus was given to our foreign trade in new- and advantageous markets, for our surplus agricultural and manufactured products. The brief trial given this legislation amply juetifies a further experiment ancl additional discretionary powefinthe making up of commercial treaties, the end in view always to be the opening. up of new markets for the products of our country, by grant ing concessions to the products of other lands that we need and can not produce ourselves, and wliie.h do not involve any loss of labor to our own people, but tend to increase their employment." "Republicanism means justicein politics. lie publican ism stands for an honest expression of the-will of people at the polls. Republicanism means progress in civilization. Re publicanism means an honest dollar for the rich and poor alike and a chance to earn it in an honest way." This definition of republicanism given by Representative Jenkins will be approved by every Nebraska republican as telling what republi canism ought to mean, Unfortu nately for the party it has been bur dened by a lot of in grates who have not. been seeking honesty in politics and. who have used the party to pro cure public offices for them, only to betray the trust and injure their benefactors. Republicanism will again be triumphant if the party follows honest leadership and honors only men who deserve ..honor" and show- their, appreciation of it by faithful and conscientious discharge of duty. Bee. That President McKinley is a good business man and an able fi nancier is shown by the fact that his 160-acre: farm in Ohio paid all expenses, last year and petted him $1,100, notwith standing 1 the low price of farm produce. The presi dent is now drawing a salary of $150 per day, and we have no fears but that he will demonstrate by his ability to successfully govern the country that he earns twice the amount. FIVE DIE IN A WRECK CASUALTY OCCURS ON THE EVANS VILLE AND TERRE HAUTE ROAD. Accident Caused by a Washout Near Hazleton. Intl. Engine Falls. Distance or Fifteen Feet Into Six Feet of Water. Seat! Hodics Cannot lie Found. Princeton-. Ind.. March 11. One of the worst railroad wrecks that has oc curred iu this vicinity for many years happened at 3 o'clock Wednesday morn ing to the Chicago and Nashville lim ited southbound over the Evansville and Terre Haute railroad, one mile north of Hazelton. The train was made up of an engino in charge of En gineer J. K. McCutchan and Joseph Bowman, fireman; a combination bag gage and mail car, smoker, ladies' coach and one sleeper. The engine went over an embankment, falling a distance of 15 feet, into six feet of water. The smoker was telescoped by tho baggage car and the ladies' coach, and the sleeper remained on the track. . Engi neer McCutchan says he was running 16 miles an hour, and when he ap proached the washout saw nothing but a very small hole. The engine passed over it and went down tho embank ment. The dead are: Geouge A. Seers, conductor. Joseph Bowman, fireman. Three Passexcers, names unknown. The injured are: John K. McCutchan, engineer, bruises received by jumping. John B. Hnueiss, brnkemnn. foot horri bly mashed and otherwise bruised. All the passengers in the smoker are supposed to have been killed. Four persons besides Conductor Seers were seen in the smoker as it broke loose, rolled down the embankment and floated off in the current. Harry J. Hill was the only member of the train crew that escaped unhurt. About 8 o'clock in the morning a large section of the levee broke, sending the baggage and the smoker down into the water, and both subsequently floated away. At 12 oclock the ladies' coach, which had been lying crosswise on tho tracks, floated off toward the river. The steamer P. Frank took a load of excur sionists up "White river to see the wreck. It looks now as thongh several days will elapse before trains can be run over the washout, as there is no way of get ting around it. The cars and engine cannot be taken out before the water goes clown. Then the bodies of the un known dead may be found, but the pro bability is that they will have been washed away. The only passenger who went down in the wreck whose identity can be traced was a traveling man rep resenting W. B. Phillips of Fort Wayne, selling ladies shirtwaists. His grips, a pair of gloves and a card bearing the above information were found near tho wreck. W. F. Henderson, manager of the Henderson Comedy company, sus tained a broken leg. He went on to Vincenues to join the company. It has bpen learned that Herbert Allen, a door keeper in the late Indiana legislature, was in the wreck and was probably killed. He lives at Evansville. Mr. McCutchan did not realize that danger was ahead, and us soon as the locomotive went on to the unsupported rails the monster piece of machinery plunged down and beneath the water. It is believed that about six persons were killed, and it is known that five actually perished. GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT. Ac Unprecedented Amount of Grain Still In Original Hands. "Washington, March 11. The crop report of the department of agriculture, based on reports from three independent sets of regular correspondents, added to I several mills and elevators carefully combined and weighted, relative to the distribution of principal grains, the stocks remaining on farms, all grain in the hands of farmers, including amounts remaining in previous years, are in cluded in the estimates given. Corn in hand is estimated aggregates 1,164,000, 000 or 51 per cent of the crop, against 1,072,000,000 in March, 1896. Both the proportion and the quantity in original , hands at this estimate was unprece- j dented, although closely approached last year and March, 1800. Correspond ents report large stocks in cribs, particu larly in the prairie states, awaiting bet ter prices. The aggregate sold from farms to go beyond country lines is 628, 000,000 bushels, or 23.3 per cent of the crop. The proportion merchantable is 1,936,000,000, or 84.8 per cent. The wheat reserve in farmers' hands amount to 20.6 per cent of the crop, or 88,000,000 bush els, against 123,000,000 last March. Of this amount 3 per cent is reported as carried over from previous crops. The proportion of wheat sold outside the county is 51.7 per cent. Of oats there are 313000,000 bushels, or 44.2 per cent of the 1890 crop yet in farmers' hands. Proportion shipped be yond county lines, 27 per cent. POSSE AFTER TRAIN ROBBERS. Louisville and Nashville Express Held Up by Masked Men. Birmingham. March II. A posse is in pursuit of the train robbers who held up the northbound express on the Louis ville and Nashville yesterday. The train had stopped at a water tank in the woods, when two men boarded the en gine and covered the engineer and fire man with pistols and forced them to un couple the locomotive and express car from the remainder of the.traiu and run forward half a milo with it. Here four men were in waiting. The messeuger refused to open the car, when the door was broken open and the messenger covered with pistols and forced to open the safe. A number of packages of money were secured. The total amount is not known, but. it is said to have been large. . Marines For Philippines. Madrid, March 11.

Aadxow Jackson Could Not Spell Cor rectlyFew Presidents Have Been College- Ured, but All Were T7el2 Informed. The President's Bible. Special Correspondence. Washington, March 8. A writer on oratory recently called, attention to tho fact that Garfield was tho best educated of the presidents. Now that we have a new president, the statement still holds good. But I don't believe Garfield was any better informed than President Mc Kinley. Few of our presidents have been college bred, though almost all have been men of good education. Androw Jackson was illiterate almost as illit erate as he was positive and thereby hangs a talo which has come down to me from one old department clerk through another. It hinges on the fact that tho president in early days not only signed land patents, but passed on the accounts of officers in the consular serv ice. Susceptible to Cliacgc. This old clerk, whose name was Mus tin, had charge of the accounts of the consular officers. To him came one day a consul wbo had arrived in the morning and was anxious to get away from Wash ington qn the afternoon of tho same day. He had his accounts made up, and be handed them to Mustiu, with the statement that the president had seen them and said they were all right. There was no indorsement on them, and Mr. Mustiu declined to audit and pass them to the treasurer until the president's name was written across the back. The consul hurried to Ihc White House, much annoyed. Apparently the presi dent was quite as much put cut by the necessity of handling so much red tape, for he wrote across the back of the ac count: "Correct. Andrew Jackson. Let this fiat be obeyed. " But ufortuuately he wrote fiat with an "o" instead of an "a," so the injunction lost much of its dignity and force. The "fiot" of An drew Jackson is on the files of the treas ury department to this day. Mustin was hardly more than a pen sioner toward the close of the war. Ho came to the office every day, but he did very little work. He had positive opin ions on politics though, and ho was a strong Lincoln man. It happened that most of the people in the office with him were opposed' to Lincoln's rcnomi nation, and one of them, taking the old man aside, said: "I wouldn't be so pos- MRS. M'KINLEY ACCEPTING THE BIBLE. itivo in my expressions of opinion if I were you, Mr. Mustin. Tho administra tion may change, you know." "It can't change any quicker than I can," said the old gentleman cheerfully. Fortunately he was not compelled to change, but no doubt he could have adapted his political views to any emer gency. That has been the way of - his kind. s The supreme court people were much amused when the present Kansas state government took office to read that the new stato officers objected to being sworn iu by the old niolhod of kissing the Bible because they believed the cus tom spreads disease through disease germs transmitted from one person to the book and from the book to the next person whose lips touch it. The disease germ has become a bugaboo in medical circles, and eveiy time some one has blood poisoning from contact with a roller towel or with paper money like the bookmaker in New York who died because of the habit of holding money in his mouth the germ is brought out and paraded for public entertainment. The President's Bible. Usually tho book used at the inaugu ration of a president has been oue pur chased for the occasion by Clerk Mc Kenny of the supreme court. Mr. Mc Kenny is a figure in tho inauguration ceremony, though a modest one. He hands to the chief justice of the supreme court at the proper moment the Bible on which the president elect is to take the oath of office. Mr. McKenny talks inter estingly about the Bibles qii which the presidents have taken the patji. He has officiated at every inauguration since that cf General Grant. Ho was not clerk of the court at the time of Hayes' in auguration, but ho was selecfed to pres ent the Bible on which Mr. Hayes was sworn in to Mrs. Hayes in accordance with the invariable custom to present the volume to some member of the pres ident's family as a souvenir. Mr. McKenny presented tho Bible to Mr?. Hayes in one of the parlors of the White House. As was customary, he had marked as the president's lips touched the book the page and the pas sage. Mrs. Hayes, when he told her this, said, "I hope Mr. McKenny will be kind enough to read the verses aloud." Several members of the prcsi dent's family were present Mr. Mc Kenny opened the bock at the place he had marked and read, "And they op press me yea, they persecute me but in ibe name of the Almighty God will I destroy them." Mrs. Hayes smiled and said: "Oh, no! I don't believe that any body will be destooyed. " Then she took the Bible, asking Mr. McKenny to con vey to Mr. Middleton, the clerk pf the court, whom he represented, her warm est thanks. The Bible on which President Elect Grant tcok tho oath was presented to Mrs. Grant The Garfield Bible was presented to Mra. Garfield by Mrs. Mc Kenny March 5, 1881. The Arthur Bi ble was presented to MissNellio Arthur. TJp to the time of the first inaugura tion of Mr. Cleveland it had been the custom of the clerk of the supreme court from time without record to buy a now Bible for tho inauguration. ,Jfr, Mc I.I. liarHV ' '. I .rii- tlHrr Kenny boug"hi a Bible for the CJiEvelana inauguration. It was a large octavo, morocco bound, and it came wrapped in tissue and incased in a stout pasteboard box. There Avas no chance of germs. or microbes getting at its pages. Therefore it was not for sanitary reasons that the president elect refused to use it Mr. Cleveland is not credited with being a sentimental man, but he has a vein of sentiment in him. and it came to th9 surface when ho sent word to Clerk Mc Kenny that ho wanted to take the oath on a shabby little Bible which his moth er had given him when he started out to shape his own career. Mr. McKenny is a bit of a sentimentalist himself. So when President Elect Harrison was to be sworn in ho would not use the Bible he had bought for tho Cleveland inaugu ration, but purchased a brand now book, leaving tho Cleveland Bible to become one of tho relics of the supreme court files. President McKinley was sworn in, as yon know, on a Bible which was the gift of the African M. E. church. The Fertile Promoter. The new secretary of war, General Alger, told mo tho .other day that he had lost $45,000 within tho last year through the unfortunate investments of a man whoso business ho capitalized. If General Alger is disposed to use his money as freely for the relief of indigent congressmen who have "sure things" needing a little capital, he will find op portunities enough. Washington is one of the best fields for the promoter in the whole United States. Senators and members of the house who are impecu nious have no conscience about going to their wealthier colleagues and asking them to subscribe to tho stock of ven tures in which they are interested. The people they havo "struck" most often are Brico of Ohio and Cameron of Penn sylvania, and there was a wail from the poverty stricken when these two "good things" left congress on tho 4th of March. Next to these twarich eastern ers the wealthy Californians have been visited by the promoters mo3t frequent ly. Men like Stewart and Jones of Ne vada arc known as geed speculators. Stewart is not a "producer," although he is always ready to go into anything involving a risk. Somo time ago a member of the house was trying to get capital to establish a factory to make a now explosive. This sort of thing appeals to men in congress because they know tho government can bo persuaded to buy large quantities of an explosive if it is good and their in fluence with the appropriations commit tees cf congress will be of great value in getting Ihc matter through. The ex plosive in which the Massachusetts man was interested was very remarkable, to judge from the tests made, and the member had little difficulty in interest ing a number of capitalists in it To ward the end of the session of congress he called on one cf the California sena tors and urged him to subscribe for some stock. He commended the explosive es pecially for use in mines. "I'm not a practical miner, " said the senator, "but here arc two members of tho house, B. and C;; who are. Perhaps you can interest them." How It Worked. The two members, who were sitting at the other side of the room, were called over, and the virtues of the explosive wero explained to them. "If it will do alt you claim for it," said C., "I will not only subscribe, but work up an interest for you in Califor nia. But I want toisk about one thing. Many of these explosives have been in vented. All of them go off with a great noise and display enormous force. But I fin ""ffinnlfrf wi'Hi till of tlinm "otliior Tn exploding they create a gas which is dangerous to life, and this gas so fills the mine that work has to be suspended, sometimes for a day or two, until the gas can be pumped out" "That is all right," said D., who had the explosivo in charge. ' 'I inhale the gas from this explosive every day." And to prove what he said ho put some of the explosive on the recister in the floor, and leaning over seemed to inhale tbe fumes. "Let me inhale it," said C. More of the explosive was put on the register, and C. took a good luugful. "It seems harmless," he said. There upon an appointment was made for the following morning. Toward noon cf tho following day C. camo into the office of the senator. His face was yellow, his hands shook, his legs gave way under him at every third step. "Can you tell me what happened yes terday?" he said to the senator's clerk. "I have a dim recollection of being here, but I remember nothing else except my dreams. My wife tells me I have been out of my head, and I have seen the most wonderful things I ever saw in my life. What happened? Did I have a fight? Did any one hit me on the head?' ' "Well, I can't remember that any thing like that happened," said tho clerk. "You were here with B, and D. of Massachusetts, and D. showed you an explosive. I believe you both inhaled some of it" "That's it! That's it!" cried C, do ing a war dance around the room. "It was that explosive. Where is D.? Where can I lay my hands, on him? I'll skin him alive!" Fortunately D. did not keep the en gagement, so his skin is still intact O. is back in California, but he is not or ganizing a company to exploit the D. explosive.

Great latitude of .Collars A Stylish Gown of Brown Csahmerc The Brilliant and Sonl Trying' Purple Early Springe Gar ments Described. Special Correspondence New Yoke:, March 8. While some of the new things made and provided for this spring arc silly and entirely .too elaborate, there are still some things that are as. solidly sensible as any one could wishj and among them one may mention some of tho wraps. One new style ia of thick bouretted cheviot and is made in the shape of an ulster, falling from throat to feet in one unbroken line in front. Tho back is shaped to the fig ure. There are no sleeves, but a sort of half cape sewed, in at the shoulder and falling over tho arms. Square fancy jet or carved bone buttons are placed in a double row upon the front, making it double breasted. Neat revers and flat collar are faced with silk and further ornamented with looped ornaments in heavy cord. If the coat is for everyday, marketing or common wear, it is not silk lined throughout. But if for steam er travelings or for a sort of "surtout" I do not dare call it "overall," its real name, for fear of excluding it from the art galleries, or at least one of them it should be lined -with silk of a good, solid quality. It is a most excellent, use ful aud even elegant wrap. Next to that in point of style comes the new "mantle jacket" This in the model was of very thick ribbed velours in a plum so dark that it looked black in somo lights. There is a tight jacket laid in a hollow plait at the back seam, where there were two rows of black as trakhan from top to bottom and a strap of tho same across the plait. Two rows of tho fur also were put down the front, which fastened invisibly. There is great latitudo permitted in the shape of collars, Somo of the chok ers have flat collars sewed to their tops, which stand out straight all around. Some of these arc wide, some narrow, some are rounded, others pointed, some slashed, and othera again are made into tabs. Some are half way around, somo all the way. Some stand up in valois, Marie Stuart or medici style, and somo are cut in Vandykes and scallops. While brown is not the only fashion ablo color, it is a very popular one this spring, most particularly in the warm wood and nut shades ; also the tobacco and seal. All except the tobacco, but ternut and seal have definite tint of red in somewhere. One very odd but stylish gown of brown cashmere double Was of a deep mahogany shade. Around tho bottom of the skirt was a band of black grosgrain ribbon, with a row of very heavy moliair braid at tne upper edge. The waist is almost indescribable. First was a wido black grosgrain belt and then a brick red vest, reaching only to the upper edge of the belt. This vest fastened with little gold buttons over another vest of maize taffeta, with a stock of tbe same. Then there was a short jacket of black, wbite and gray louisiue check silk, uulincd. Tbis had a plaited frill at the neck, stiffened and bound with the brick red silk. Over all this was a bolero of the cashmere, trim med with tho thick mohair braid. The sleeves were trimmed at the wrists quite as .elaborately. The wholo made a very pretty gown. The brilliant and soul trying ray purple is no longer sold exclusively to the Italian and German women of the uneducated lass, for 'one sees the most D5l?N5 glaring purples and greens, and often reds, put together in the best houses.4 One novel idea was found in a black armure silk with a bright purple over skirt, cut in a sort of tablicr front, it being slanted upward at the back, to let the full skirt breadths fall over it. The purple was of ribbed silk and had a wide bias band all around it. The waist was made of the black, and so were the sleeves and the swiss belt, but there were folds of thepurple broughtdowntbefront on each side, reaching under the belt and to a point in tho center of the back. A saving graco was in the plaited ivory colored frill at the neck. A puffed muff of black silk was carried with this, and at each end was a frill of the silk mull, bound at the edge with narrow black velvet ribbon. Such are some of th early spring garments.

The presi dent today sent to the senate the follow ing nominations: Secretary of state, John Sherman of Ohio: secretary of tha treasury, Lyman J Gage ot Illinois; tecretary of war, Russell A. Alger of Michigan; attorney general, Joseph Mc Kenna of California; postmaster gen eral. James A. Gary of Maryland; sec retary of the navy. John D. Long of Massachusetts; secretary of the interior, Cornelius N Bliss of .New York; secre- tarv of agriculture. James Wilson of Iowa. The senate confirmed Mr Sher man as secretary of state and then took a recess. The other cabinet members were referred to the proper committees and thev at once took them under con sideration. The- usual custom of the senate is to confirm any man who has been a member of the senate, and for this reason Mr7 Sherman's nomination was immediately confirmed. The first nomination taken up as soon as the sen ate reconvened at 2 o'clock was that of Mr. Gage. This nomination caused considerable discussion, tho silver men of tho senate taking occasion to point out the position of Mr. Gage on the silver question. Tho senators who did the talking said that they did not intend to oppose the confirmation, but they wished to nuke plain that while there were pledges made for bimetallism, there were nominations not in this line. After a little more talk by Mr. Teller regarding the selection of Mr. Bliss, all the nominations were confirmed, with out objection. "ine members of the cabinet were sworn in at 11:80 o'clock in the blue room at the White House, except Secre tary Gage, who was sworn in at the treasury department. Four Bills Full Flat. Washington, March 6. A large num ber oi important bills railed, to receive the signature of Mr. Cleveland before the expiration of his term aud, as a-ro- sult, they fail to become laws. Most important of these are the sundry civil appropriation bill, the Indian appro priations and the agricultural appropria tion bill. They received what is known as pocicet vetoes, being received by the president on March a and not acted on. The deficiency appropriation bill, carry ing about 10,000,000, failed in confer ence between the senate and house. Nominations Thnt Failed. Washington, March 7. The follow ing is tne list or nominations which failed of confirmation during the second session of the Fifty-fourth congress: Postmasters: Iowa Edward M. Wil son, Buffalo Center; Z. T.

Leading senators indicate that the men appointed in Kentucky and Florida to be United States senators will not be seated. It is well known that any decided opposition would prevent a vote and it is believed the opposition will be sufficient to pre vent a vote until the legislatures of tho states assemble. Referee Siler Interprets Rules. Carson, Xev., March 11. Referee George Siler has given out his interpre tation of the Marquis of Queensburv rules, under which the men are to fight on March 17. He has decided that the men shall be allowed to strike in a clinch with one arm free and on breakaways. This is generally believed will be more to the advantage of Fitz simmons' style of fighting than to Cor bett's. Fitzsinimons has long declared that he did not desire to have any hit ting with one arm free and demanded that the breakaways should be clean and with no punching. This is generally thought to be a ruse on the part of the Fitzsimmons crowd. On the other hand, Corbett's friends claim that hitting with one arm will exactly suit him. Mrs. Ilcccher Dead.
