The republican county central committee is hereby called to meet at the court house in North Platte on Saturday, July 27th, at one o'clock p. m.'for the purpose of selecting a date for the county convention, fixing the basis of representation 'and transacting such other business as may prop erly come before it. Each committeeman is urged to be present. Ik a L. Baku, Chrmn. A. S. Baldwin, Secy Kkhv your right eye on the prayer gauge and your left eye on the thermometer. Tun governments interested in Chinese affairs arc still at log gerheads regarding the method of payment of the Chinese indem nity, with no prospect of an im mediate settlement. The trouble with the powers is they want the Chinaman to do all the hurrying. They can quarrel among themselves, but the min ute they come to an agreement want the celestial to say yes with out any hesitation. Nothing in recent years has so set out the mutual jealousies of the great nations and demonstrated that all the talk of amity and good will is simply lip service like the trouble in China. Bee. Josni'H Baktmcv, ex-state treasurer, out on parole, states that at the time he waa taken in to custody he was paying up the shortage in the Nebraska state treasury, in sums ranging from one thousand to twenty thousand dollars, and that these payments ceased when he was placed un der arrest. The inference con veyed is that he would have made good the entire shortage had nc been given the oppor tunity. This is however a very brittle thread for Bartlcy to hang his case on in the judgment of the people of Nebraska. If he has it within his power now to make restitution, and shall do so, then an extension of his present brief parole may be entitled to consideration. Until then the least he has to say about the matter the better tt will be for him. Kearney Hub. Skckktaky Wilson of the dc partment of agriculture does not take an alarming view of the drought condition that has been prevailing throughout the coun try. He docs not consider that the corn crop is seriously in jurcd, notwithstanding press re ports from the western states, and this is certainly true this time so far as Nebraska is con corned. Speaking of the value of the corn crop Secretary Wil son says: "The extent of a corn crop disaster can be gathered when I say that the corn crop ia the first in point of total value in the United States. From 1879 to 1900 the total annual value o corn, based on farm price on the 1st of December of each year has ranged between five hunt! red and seven hundred and fifty million dollars. Only once has it fullen below the smaller number while five times it has cxcccder the larger. We supply about 75 per cent of the world's product.' LAST TJBAJt'g TORSION BALANCE The actual figures for Unci Sam's business transactions last year have just been given to the public. There have been many forecasts, but actual results were not known until last Saturday wheu treasury oflaciala rave them out. It is highly gratifying to know what magnificent proportions qui foreign commerce reached, ex ceeding all records of former years. The figures show the total imports of the year were $832,750,533, total exports $1,487, 544,000 and the excess of exports over imports $604,900,011. The imports arc $27,184,051 below those of last year and the ex ports arc $93,193,402 above those of last year. The excess of exports over imports exceed that of last year by $i20,358,113, and is $40,407, 335 greater than tlip highest re cord ever before made that of 1898. Under the new relations with Hawaii and Porto Kico the commerce of those islands is no longer included in the regular statement of foreign commerce of the United States. Had they been so included, as has been the case in former years, the total exports would have exceeded $1,500,000, as the exports to those islands during the year have aggregated about $25,000, 000. In the face of these stupendous facts the American citizen has good reason to feel proud. The United States is now the first nation of the earth, by whatever test may be applied. Fremont Tribune.

I hear from Copcnhngen, of nil places, thnt the quantity of Jewelry in tho private treasury of the late queen beggars Imagination. While slow to bellovo In nmazlng things, the amount of wealth locked up In her Jewels muBt havo been well nigh Incalculable. Tho golden Jubilee glfU of Jewelry alone would bo convertible Into a great for tune. Tho donors must havo been brainy peoplo to mako such presents to an aged sovereign who could not wear thorn. It Is a pity that royal wills are not subjected to the same publicity as tho wills of prlvato people. The ways of royalty have been kept too dark, luco tho house ot Hanover came to Cngland. All tho queens consort hoarded except tho two Carolines. Tho first Caroline spent with good Judg ment and generosity. Tho second, Car olina was profuso In spending on her adopted son and her favorite Italian courier and IiIb children. Hut Augusta, princess of Wnlcs, who did without servnnts, hoarded. Queen Chnrlotto hoarded, and received presents from shady "nabobs." Queen Adelaldo gayo away n good deal In charity, but she also hoarded out of her astonishingly lnrgo civil list allowance. Queen Char- lotto winked at tho amours of tho rlnco regent with ladles of rank in tho hope that he would glvo her Jowels. 8ho never chilled Lady Jersey or Lady Hertford at any of her receptions. riils policy had tho effect of swelling her treasury. Sho gave away a great deal of Jewelry to her children. Tho reslduo valued nt 140,000, sho loft to her unmarried daughters. SAVE THE ORCHARD. Constant Spraylnc tho Method ltccom- inomleil to Kill 1'ArntltM. This has been an Ideal season for tho development of tho fungus en emies of tho orchard and garden. Moisture nnd "mugginess," combined with occasional coollsh temperatures, produco Ideal conditions for the growth of vegctablo parasites. Flno weather it is for applo scab, plum rot, grape mildew and the like. Itnln al most every day! The experiment sta tion man in lthnca says spray to pro- cnt the growth of these diseases. Cul tivated plants nro protected from fun gus enemies by covering them up with film of bluo stono nnd lime in com bination. This is cfTcctivo ns long ns It stays on. Tho question then arises Is there any good in spraying during this showery weather? Experience nnd com mon sense both say yes. Spraying dur ing rain certainly kills Bomo Bpores nnd the plants will bo protected to that extent. This matter Is discussed some what fully In "Lessons on Orchard ing," In tho Farmers' Heading Courso, Cornell University, which nro frco to Now York Stato farmers. , Peach curl is doing a great deal, ol damage. This can bo controlled by spraying with Uordcnux mixture be fore tho buds swell; Into spraying Is Ineffective. Now is tho tlmo to look out for apple, pear nnd milnco uceb. Tho soft rotB of the plum, pencil and cherry nro likely to cause much Injury. Spraying at Intervals be tween now nnd tho ripening season will do wonders In saving tho fruit. New York Press.
