THE
LARGEST .CIRCULATION
' Of any Cass County Paper.
TnE Lincoln Call last Sunday was a
"hot proposition." It crucified a few
reformers in a way that ought to be a
warning to evil doors, especially
those who wear cloaks. The Call al
ways h:is the courage of its convic
tions. The weather is warm, but demo
cralic politics, with "Dr. Jckyl" as
chief medicine mixer, is 'several times
hotter, and when it gets to fusion
heat at Weeping Water next, Monday,
some people will get their fingers
burned., '
The man who thinks times are
harder and can't see any signs of
prosperity, is, as a rule, one whose
appetite for work has been spoiled,
and whose chief .desire is to have the
government support him in idleness
and luxury.
Emfekor Billy of Germany has
just received a bad set back from the
Prussian diet. He does not like a diet
of that kind. As the emperor is a
poor hand at taking disagreeable
medicine, the nations are waiting
breathlessly to see what he will do.

A COMPANY, known as the Cattle
Feeders' Loan Company, has been or
ganized at South Omaha, with a capi
tal ol $5C0,0O0. The object of the
company is to loan money to farmers
in the territory adjacent to the South
Omaha market, who want to feed cat
tle, but heretofore have been unable to
secure the loan of funds to carry out
their plans.
The rich picking in Kan s i 9, which
favored pops have enjoyed for some
time, has created jealousy and bick
erings.J jyid a row is on that shakes
the party from center to circumfer
ence. It's only a question of tirao un
til Nebraska will be in the same boat,
as the rank and file will not stand the
dictation of the Allen-IIolcomb-Bryan
combine without having something to
say.
If silver continues to decline as it
has been doing lately, the 50-cent dol
lars will very Bhortly contain but 40
cents of the white metal. Mr. Bryan's
agnation aoes not seem to net. as a
boom any more, and the public gives
no thought to the 1G to 1 proposition
since better times are coming without
it. Within twelve months the dead
est issue ever placed before the people
will be the silver question.
Senator Tiiurston continues to
shake the Dolitical plum tree for the
benefit of Nebraska. The latest is the
transfer of Church Howe from Samoa
to Palermo, Italy, where he will do
duty as American consul under the
blue skies in the art center of the
world, while Judge Osbirne of Blair
will go to Samoa. Church Howe was
not quite satisfied with his former
place, but it is said that Italy suits
him exactly;
Now the World-Herald protests be
cause prices are rising. Ever since it
dropped the red-hot tariff-reform
poker it has complained . because
; prices were too low. It lays the blame
' of this perfidious advance on the new
tariff bill. We would like to have it
explain how a rise of prices is possi
ble when the gold standard is being
maintained that great oppressor
which keeps prices down. Fremont
Tribune.
The public pres9 is still comment
ing on the work of Reformer Sehwind,
who labored twenty-four hours every
day for seventy-two days as secretary
of the senate, and besides that, he
managed to get seven days of extra
time. Schwind is a fair sample of the
new up-to-date demo-pop reformer,
and if we don't find a short treasury
when the auditor gets through draw
ing warrants for hi9 friends, it will be
a surprise to those on the inside.
A. Cass county farmer assures The
News that his wheat will go thirty
five bushels to the acre this year, and
is the best he ever raised. He can tret
55 cents for it, which means $19 25 per
acre. The condition of Cass county
farmers need not keep any one awake
of nights. If the business men in the
, smaller tons were as free from debt
and in as good financial, condition, the
country would be a wonderful sight
better off than it is. . '
The latest fusion slate, according to
Dr. Jekyl (Chapman) who has been
kept busy arranging details with
leadiug democrats is Billy Whoeler
for'sheriff, J. M. Patterson for treas
urer, Oscar Allen for recorder of
deeds, Allen Beeson for county judge,
M S. Briggs for county clerk. Dr. B.
F. Brendel for coronor, Fred Patter
, son for surveyor, Douglas Shinn
jfor crfunty superintendent. This is
the latest slate and. appears to be.
quite satisfactory to. the democrats,
but the pops may. conclude to sransh a
part of it, and, if they do, the demo
crats will take what, ever they can
get. . " .
If WHEAT would uiil.v fall with sil
ver to 45 csHts.the sixteen to wunuers
would be as happy as the other clams.
But here it is up to7S cents and silver
still falling. The amount of campaign
oratory that has evaporated in conse
quence of this disparity, would prove
a serious matter if wind wasn't the
most plentiful commodity in the uni
verse. State Journal.
The sorrow fell by tho British news
papers over the, disaster sure to come
to the United States on account ol tho
Dingley bill is almost as keen as the
joy noticed in the same quarters ov r
tho passage of the Wilson bill, which,
according to the London editors, was
tj "tremendously stimulate the in
dustries of tho United States." State
Journal.
The circular issued by the well
knewn authorities in tho sugar trade,
Wiilet Sc Gray, says that tho protec
tion under tho new Dingley bill is
"much loss than the trust has ever
enjoyed." The official figures from
the treasury department make it ap
pear that the amount of advantage
held by the trust has been cut down
more than ono-third by the new law.
Tho trust, it is plain, did not make
the sugar schedules of tho Dingley
bill. They were in.do by tho Ameri
can people, for tho goou" of all tho
people. Under the wise provisions of
tho new law, Nebraska will proceed at
once to develop a sugar industry that
shall make the trust powerless to ov
ercharge "the people for one of the
principal articles of daily consuirp
tiou. State Journal.
THAT awful soulless tyrant-,' tho
gold dollar has ceased to buy - too
much, and according to the World
Herald, the necessaries of life are
now mounting skyward in price on
account of the new tariff bill. L-ist
year everything was too eheip, :md
the silver inoncnia nines assured us
that nothing would raise prices, but
the enthronement of the white metal
on an enforced ratio of 16 to 1. In a
years time tho silver press is com
pelled to change front and howl a
defferent tune. It is too bad tho
world can't be regulated to suit theno
chronie kicuers who seem to have
more time for regulating the affairs of
the universe than they have for at
tending to their own private business.
The Omaha organ will no longer cry
cheap, cheap, its watch word has
been changed to a tirade against
higher prices, but they will come
along with a wave of prosperity,
which the World-TJernId and papers
of like ilk can not retard.

A young lady called at the postolfieo
recently and bashfully inquired if
there was a letter for her. "Business
or love lettor?" jokingly inquired the
clerk. "Business," was the reply, 'ac
companied by a fiush of deepest crim
son. As there was no such letter to
be found, tho yojng lady took her de
parture. She came back, however,
after a little and said in faltering ac
cents: "Please would you mind look
ing among the love letters?" Ex.

Mrs. B. P. Egan a few days ago re
ceived an old-fashioned, hand-made
Irish linen table cloth, with napkins
to match. They wero made by two of
her cousins, on their own looms ana
are the finest pieces of hand work that
have over been brought to this coun
try, and the artistic work n the same
is something marvelous. Tho ladies
who have seen them say that they are
the most artistic pieces of table orna
ment they have ever seen, and Mrs.
Egan is justly proud of them. The
table linen is large enough to cover
one of the old-fashioned banquet ta
bles. Nebraska City News.
The London Central railway, an un
aergrouna electric line, let its con
tracts for construction amounting to
hundreds of thousands of pounds to
American bidders much to tho dis
gust of the English contractors. But
the company explains that the Ameri
cans knowmore about electricrailroads
than anybody else on earth and they
want tho best work. They know a
good thing when they see it. Ex.
Nebraska City lias two circuses, in
one week. It's n great town for red
lemonade.
Ouida has more fads and fancier
than even a fin de siecle college girl,
says an exchange, the scent she
uses is made specially for her by a
celebrated Venetian perfumer and
cents $40 an ounce. She cannot bear
starched muslin. Tho touch of vel
vet makes her feel creepy. She lives
n a pretty villa near Florence and is,
as those who have read her books can
see for themselves, an enthusiastic
lover of dogs. Ouida always dresses
in white, summer and winter. -
The pension building at - Washing-
ton is the largest brick building in
the world. The enormous number
of ton million brick were used in its
construction.
Tho Klondyke gold fever has taken
hold of Lincoln, and a company has

Those who are in a position to Know
say that there will bo more nraiiie
chickens this year than for many
years. As a warning, . however, to
those who are impatient to .begin the
hunting before tho legal time we will
state that tho last legislature passed a
very stringent law 'in regard to shoot-
in? chicken? out of season, and that
the fine is $25, half of which goes to
the informer. Hunters will do woll to
take heed to this warning Ex.
Uncle George Shryder walked in on
his friends uere Monday morning just
as if he had not been to the Pacific
coast for the p ist four months grow
ing up with tho country. We were
not surprised, however, in the least,
for Uncle George has taken Iloraco
Greeley's advice so often, only to re
turn each time, that webe gan to feel
that it was about time for his arrival.
Undo George says he came back after
hi9 dog, Mrs. Shryder came along and
they will probably remain until win
ter. They say George, jr., is we'll
satisfied with his home in Oregon.
Weeping Wator Republican.
. Ilolcorab says that tho honesty and
frugality of "the pop administration
has lifted state warrants from 95 per
cent to par. Tho amount of credit
which Nebraska's governor arrogates
to himself is apparent when one takes!
into consideration the fact that tho j
descent of said warrants from a com -
fortibln nreminm to :l n iu.r rent .lis-
count took place under the same econ
omic administration. No amount of
socialistic gush can drive the people
from the conclusion that Nebraska's
salvation lies in the crops and not the
pops. Bradshavv Il-j publican; r
Iioad master Shepird says when he
came in on a Burlii gtoi: train from
Seward tho other day, it raind ail
the way on the caboose, whilo it wvs
dry as timber on the engine. Ex.
Democrats who wish to swam'p the
populist band wagon by overloading
it, will lie on deck Friday evening at
the- primaries.
This is a queer world, a bibliophile
recently . paid $20,000 for a bible
printed in 1430. Ho will doubtless
enclose it in a glass caso and never
read a woitl in it, whilo the man
who pays 00 cents for a bible will
ttidy the book.
Big red apples down in the big red
apple country in Missouri, so exten
sively advei tised, are worth but 5
cents per bushel, according to a Mis

at 10 cents.
Congressman Maxwell of Fremont
stopped at tho Hotel Kiley today and
shok hands with many of his old timo

Tho southeastern Nebraska ettitors
are called to meet at Salom, August
9, that being the big day at the Chau
tauqua. The bloomer female b.ise ball club
of Boston will play a Nebraska City

A new bicycle has been patented in
England recently which, with ease.
will whirl a man through space at tho
rate of a mile a minute. American
capitalists have gone to see it, and if
it proves to be all that is claimed, it
will bo the winning attachment for
next year's whee's.
The hot wave complained f 'in Ne
braska seems to have encircled tho
globe. London, Paris and Homo cable
grams speak of tho unusual degree of
heat suffered in those cities during
the past week.
Tho strike among the eoal miners
looks as though it would peter out af
ter a whilo. Tho loss to mine opera
tors and workmen has been heavy in
some districts, whilo in others the
men have refused to quit profitable
iobi and coal has been shipped into
the striking districts.
Manager Davis of tho Snicm Inter
Stale ChautauQua in a letter to us
this week reports that about one hun
dred tents have been reserved by
campers lor the assembly, which opens
August 7 and closes August 15. This
is by far the largest number of tents
ever engaged so far in advance, and
is one of the indications that this
will bo one of tho most successful
years this popular assembly has ever
had. The program is the best this
year that has ever been offered, and
will bo sure to draw immense crowds.
Those of our readerr who have not yet
secured tents should do so at once by
sending their names with $1.50 half
of full price for season) to O. W.
Davis, Salom, Neb., and tent and In"
cation will Ikj reserved.
SgBartley's bond appears to continuo
in the embryonic stage with but little
signs of Ufa. Supreme court clerk,
Campbell, was in Omaha yesterday
looking "after some of the signatures
which the Bee says were .put chased
and paid for in hard cash-money
which no doubt belonged to tho state
being used for that purpose.
From the apportionment given out

Tho "burnt district" in Omaha must
indeed be tough, the women having a
habit of stealing mens hat's from their
heads who happen to bo passing along j
the street. Recently a man who lost
his hat that way, called the police to
his assistance, and the woman is to be
made an example of in an effort to
stop the practice, says the Lincoln
News.
Twenty thousand dollars worth of
gold was extracted from the sweep
ings of tho Philadelphia mint la9t
month. There are those who think
like benefits would follow a clean
sweep in other departments of the
government. Ex.
Government experts have just com
pleted 'their valuation of the pictures
and art treasures of one kind and an
other bequeathed to the English na
tion by Lady Wallace, who, during
her lifetime was barred from preset)
tation at court and subjected to much
unkindly ostracism'by English society
The valuo is set down officially at the
enormous sum of $22,000,000. The
government has decided to keep the
collection where it is that is to say,
in Hertford house, which tho state is
now about to acquire for the purpose

Tower Two Thonmtnd Feet High.
William J. Frye, an architect of
New York city, has drawn plans for a
tower to commemorate tho consolida
tion of Greater New York. Tho pro
posed tower is to be 2,140 feet in
height, in all respects the most won
derful structure in the world. The
Eiffel tower in Paris is 084 feet in
height, or less than half the height
of the proposed observatory tower for
New York.
The tower is to be twelve-sided and
built of steel. The lowest portion will
be ."000 feet in diameter and will be I
flanked by four pavillion buildings,
giving the structure a base of four
hundred feet. The outer walls will
bo of cement and wire cloth. Inter
nally the tower will be a labyrinth of
steel columns, girders, beams, plates
and other shapes in steel, no particle
of wood being used in construction or
finish. Electric cars with reserved
motor power of compressed air will
run spirally around tho 100 foot cen
tral area, making a trip to the fifth
floor from the top, about 2 miles ride.
