What's the matter with March? A. H. WECKBACn is a candidate for the nomination for mayor on the demo cratic ticket. Next Saturday night the republi cans expect to nominate a city ticket that will be a winDer. ABOUT all the people have to say about candidates for the council is that we must have good men. If THE Boers will surrender uncon ditionally England will be perfectly satisfied. Her streak of generosity is somewhat lean. t --T-r a V a f urith anm A mAn I t, v;..k ia,nn.!M a a neater proposition than the Fourth Z. t.., c cs.o J " - . , . THE populists of Richardson county refused to be absorbed at the conven tion of the three-ring circus, held at Falls City yesterday. They prefer to stand alone. EDITOK SnELDON has tagreed to mnot with thn norrflsnonden ts of east em papers at 7:30 each evening and nntrerUin Information COHCem- lag his work. Rev. Charles SHELDON says he is a Christian socialist. Ho defines a Christian socialist as"one who applies the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount to his daily life.' KENTUCKY" is again in a state of comparative quiet, the state legisla ture having, adjourned, pending the decision of the court of appeals in the matter of the governorship. The Bee states that the' only candi date on the city ticket who ran as a democrat without any fusion indorse ment was beaten by a smaller plurality than most of the fusion candidates. Nine democrats from the east acted with the republicans and passed the "gold bill" yesterday afternoon by a vote of 1QQ to 120. It is expected that President McKinley will gie it his signature today. A DisPATCn from Sheridan, Wyo., conveys the news that the republicans elected their entire city ticket. For year6 Sheridan has been a. democratic stronghold, hence their is great rejoic ing in the republicon ranks. Governor Poyntek doesn't seem to admire Dr. B. F. Lang, superinten dent of tbe institute for feeble minded youths at Beatrice. If the doctor has not reformed since he resided at Weeping "Water he is no angel. THE friends of B. L. Kirkham are urging that he be nominated for city clerk. Mr. Kirkham has been a hust ler for the fusionists and his support ers in the convention will be numerous if he cares for the nomination. TnE Chicago Times-Herald states that a Kansas man, with whiskers eight feet long, says he will never shave antil Bryan is elected president. Better to have eight foot whiskers and be famous than to have a smooth face "and be one of the many. Governor Poyntkr's being at the head of the new insurance company, known as the Equitable Hail Insar - ance company, will not be likely to make him more popular in this county. The farmers in this vicinity have had plenty of tbe hail insurance busi - nees. The remains of the late William E Goebel were buried yesterday. The highest spot in the cemetery was se lected for interment, and the monu ment to be erected maybe seen from all parts of Frankfort. The members of the legislature attended the ser- vlce9 in a body The reduction of grain rates to St. Louis on the part of the Missouri Pa cific has brought about a similar re duction by the Burlington to both Chicago and St. Louis. The farmers are correspondingly happy. The re duction on wheat is 5 cents per hun dred pounds, and on corn 3 cents. MlSS JULIA E. BRACKEN is said to be the envy of many a Chicago woman today, for she is Chicago's first legally licensed automobile driver. Miss Bracken drove an automobile in the bicycle parade during the fall festival, and took first prize for being the cleverest woman operator. She also captured the prize for the most band- eomely decorated vehicle. Senator Allen declares he has not deserted free silver at 16 to 1. -lte-publicans want him and Mr. Bryan to continue right along that line. They made so much of the iseue four years ago they will have to continue to ad- Tocuie mi1 fine iu i. !- - : tent. Ail. since none of their p eiic- : t tionsastathe n-mlt of noi adopting their theory has coma f ue, ttey wm necessity bo playiii-' a losiog gaa.e. t In PLATTSSiorrn, as in many other cities, it has been the disposition of most of its business men to refuie to nerve the city in any capacity, thereby plac!ng the business management iu incompetent hands. And then f oui one year'B end to another they-find fault with the administration of affairs. They have reason to complain, no doubt, but the responsibility should be placed where it belongs, vz , on their own shoulders. D. B. SMITII will doubtless be again nominated for a member of the school board, unless be should refuse to 6erve the city longer in that capacity. HON. K. B. WiDxnAM is being talked of for councilman for the First ward. Probably no better man could be suggested. W. J. Bryan will speak wood, S. D. M irch 21. in Dead- IN FORMATION AJiU. OPINION. Turpin, the inventor of melinite, is said to be with the Boers. I he pe troleum bombs fired at Kimberley are attributed to him. Great Britain was the onlv power that offered him com pensation for his discovery. -tin 4 railroad train while stealing a ride, has brought suit far damages alleging that his mishap was due to tne negu eence of the company's employes. He savs that, although he knew where he "f - ; - bo Dut off. nuof o thev did not put. him oft. Prospectors are boring for z'nc in four counties in Northern Arkansas, and within the last year several changes in the ownership of the land has resulted in consequence. One syn- OlcafcO is iu v y"' v-""--- 000 acres of land. Coneressmnn Uevries of California introduced a joint resolution for the repeal of duties on white or printing paper and the material from which it is made, and directiner the attorney general to proceed under the anti-trust law against those maintaining a mon- opoloy in such paper and material. A St. Louis judge has ruled that if a husbaud be locked out by his wife he maj- chop down the door, if necessary, to gain entrance but he has to pay fop tbe door Burlington, X. Y., will not collect any taxes this ye;ir, the saving on ap propriations having gone on so long that the township has sufficient funds to run all departments. A western man has patented a warm ing device for raising bread, having a lamp set in tho bottom of the casing, with a number of trays to carry the dough, arranged in a .ier in an upper compartment, the heat circulating around the trays and passing off at the tOD. Two New York men have devised a fire-escape truck, with a telescoping vertical shaft, which can be extended to the required height and carries a. horizontal bracket arm on which a pulley is mounted to carry a basket at tached to a wire rope to lower per sons from the windows. "Free bread funds for the poor"seem to h ive passed away, with Coxey's army. It was in 1894, under a demo cratic low tariff, that the lamp posts in New York's streets were decorated with such pigns and with contribu tion bxea to receive the funds. At the same time the greit New York democratic dailies were collecting free clothes for the men who were unem ployed under free trade. It is recorded that a farmer in Ful ton countv. Ohio, recently pold 125 head sheep for $800, being an average $6.40 per head. The farmers there 1 say that under the Wilson free trade period that number of sheep would I not have brought to exceed $125, and I the owner would have h.d to look j around a lonsr while for a purchaser at any price. A new fad is that of having the eye photographed. Young girls now are sending photographs of their eyes,on!y one in tbe photograph, to their friend If sent anonymously a great deal of fun is obtained in guessing who it is are entertained with a collection of the photographs of the eyes of those present, and guessing contec-ts with prizes, make up the game. The pictures are numbered and the tally cards have corresponding numbers. Even with the originals present it is puzzling. Laziness has never been looked upon lightly by the Dutch. They once bad a rough-and-ready but perfect cure for I begging. When a strong, able-bodied J man was caught in the net of asking aim, he was forthwith cast into a pit At the top of the prt was a tip, which I was turned upon the man. At the bot I ton of the pit was a pump, by means of j which the water could be pumped out The beggar was thus in a tight hole If he refused to work the pump he stood a good chance of being drowned if he worked tbe pump for an hour o two he was likely enough to learn a lesson that hitherto he had not cared for. Generally, tbe beggar gladly left hi laziness in the pit. The water cure worked wonders. . i .....wiiwiiiiHWTfTMHMTHnTmffmmmTnTT . h. m im- i . umi ii ii mi ii ii ii iht ii i. . j NEWS OF THE COUNTY :tt,tlliniltM.iiiiiitimuuailllMMIiMiMMUMUiiliMUUAiUUAtUiiaUUIiUilt.-a E tOLE ITEMS.

Kleht of Trial Uy Jury Ii!t-1 I'pon Fxto'rtlouate Txatiou Oipi tl. The following statement from a Presbyterian paper published in Chi cago, sums up with commendable brev ity and accuracy, tho points .t isuo in the South Africnn war: Six principal points uro involved in the arbitrament precipitated by the formal declaration of war by the lit er governmont. . They are: pirst. Taxation without representa tion. The Britifh government de manded for l.ritish subjects that tht-y be rectified. This was what wa meant by the diplomatic controversy over the "franchise." The Hooru finally made tho concession that five ve;ir of resi dence and the oath of allegiance Uthe B.cr republic should entitle an out- binder to vote. But this eor.c s?ion was placed urder limitations which practically nullified it. It was not an hone-t offer. The imperial govern ment demanded ;i live ye r limit to po litical incompetency, and that the bal lot should not bo subjected to any nul lifying conditions. This the ll.it rs e fuscd, unless the imperial goven.mt-iit should rent unce suz?r:iii.ty. The lat ter refused to dircu-s that question ami tha Boers then wiihdrew the ofte.-. Second Trial by jury. British sub- ipfits are allowed a trinl by a i"ry of their peers, and under the laws of all English speaking oeoplo. A British subject under tho Boer oligarchy itust bo tried by a jury of Bo-rs. Third Education. In the public choo.s the English laiiUge is not al lowed. As the poi u ation of Johnn nesburg is twenty E-iglisii to one Boer, this was a virtual t xclu-ion of English children from the schools. Tho lm perial government demand d, rn be half of British ubiects. that the two languages should stand on an equality English speakers to have the sam hem fits as thuso exclusively Civen to the Dutch. This was refused. Fourth Municipal eoveinmcnt There are onlv about l.UUO boers in Johannesburg, to J.,olM) outl-mderf The Boer government clung to its e elusive right to govern the Fngli city without the consent of the gov erned. Fifth Extortionate taxation. B fore the English discovered and developed the Kimbrrlv and ltwaterstanu. mines the total income of the Bon gjvernment was about SG.000.0O0 I is now four times that amount, or- a lew upon the outlanders of $19,000,000 per annum, in the expenditures c which the taxnavers are allowed r.o voice. Sixth Slavery. Though this doe not appear in the uipiomaiie Uiscus sion. It nas Hlieciea tne senximenis o British subjects towards the Boers The natives are practically en-laved by them. They cull it "apprentice ship," but native youth aro held to work and laboi" during the most eflVc tive period of their live, np.inely, til tho age of twenty-eight. After that age Ibey are held to service by terror ism iu many, if not most, instances This is highiy repugnant to the Brit ish constitution, whoso glory has long been that no slaves c in tread on Brit ish foil. The earth emancipates him the instant he stands upon it. The-e are the issues upon which the Transvaal and the Orange Free S ate have thrown down the gauge of b utie. The contention was not over tho right of the Boers to self-government. Thnt the imperi tl government h i- never questioned nor made s.uy attempt to circumscribe. The d. mane) ( f the English is that Engiifhmcn within the limits of the Hritir-h empire shall have equal enjoyment of that right with all others. If. that h:ul been con ceded, the imperial government would have left the- p pie of the Trunsvaal to settle all matters' of do-nTc con cern to suit themselves." Rev. V. E. aitzer, V. C'aton, N. Y. , writes: aI had dvp- psiu over twenty years, and tried doctors and n:edicines without beiutit. I was pursunded to u?e Kodol I)yspepsia cut e and it he! ped me from the start. 1 believe it to be a panace for all forms of ndiee$tion." It dtrw.9 what you e it. F. G. Fricko & Co.
