To tiraml Army 1'osts.
C E. Adams, department command
er, has issued the following to Grand
Army posts in the form of general or
der No. 11:
"The department commander desires
to thank the retiring oilicers for the at
tention and general efficiency displayed
in the department work during this
year. The reports which are rapidly
coming in show an excellent condition
of the department, such in fact as could
only be brought about by the united ef
forts of officers and members.
'And to the newly initiated officers,
I congratulate you upon the high de
gree of confidence placed in you by
your comrades. Your duty tu them is
one that should be faithfully and care
fully performed. Not only the welfare
and stability of our order, but the pa
triotism of the country depends upon
an intelligent performance of your
duties. And as an important item in
the line of your duties I urge you to
take immediate steps to reinstate all
worthy n. embers suspended for the
non-payment of dues. The national
encampment wisely provided liberal
regulations for such relief, and posts
should at once move to carry out the
true spirit of these regulations, and
bring back without delay all comrades
who, from inability to meet their obli
gations, have been dropped from the
rolls. We are passing through a very
critical period in our history, and those
who are strong and vigorous should be
nntiring in their zeal to strengthen
the weaker lines, and thereby make it
possible for the appeals in behalf of
our deserving comrades to reach the
heart of this great nation and com
mand its respect and acquiescence in
all reasonable demands.
The New Nebraska.
No one questions, says the Hastings
Democrat, the healthfulness of the cli
mate and its wonderful invigorating
effect upon man or beast. The natural
grasses are remarkably rich in milk
making and fat producing qualities.
Water is almost invariably of a very
good quality and usually entirely free
from alkalies. There are more, clear,
nice balmy days than in any other lo
cality east of the Rockies. Kain usual
ly comes in the spring and with proper
tillage can all be utilized and a most
elegant crop grown. The falls are
usually clear and dry, giving the most
favorable time for harvest. The win
ters are less severe than in the more
humid districts, on account of the dry
nesa of the atmosphere.

of Ilolbrighton, Long Branch, N. J.,
during a dense fog between 1 and 2
o'clock this morning. She was soon
discovered by the patrol of the Long
Branch life saving station and prepa
rations were made to open communi
cations with the vessel. Apparatus
was dragged to the point nearest the
St. Paul and a shot was fired across
the vessel. The hawser was placed on
board and the breeches buoy sent off.
The passengers on board desired to re
main on the vessel, however, as there
appeared to be no danger. Mvs-ages

a high tide at the time and it is feared
the big liner will have difficulty in
getting off.
LATEST SPANISH NEWS.
Cubau Rebels Reported Divided and la
Critical Positions "Garza" Dead.
Washington, Jan. 27. Captain Gen
eral Marin cabled to-day from Havana
to Minister Depuy de Lome that it
was believed Jose Maceo's insurgent
band had been located east of the
Conto river, in the province of Santi
ago de Cuba, and that Iiabi was
wounded. This is of special
importance, as the army of
Maceo and Rabi has been depended
upon by the insurgents to succor
Gomez in Havana province. Maceo's
position on the conto river is such
that it will take him thirty days to
reach Gomez, even if unopposed. The
woundiug of Rabi will cripple his di
vision, leaving Gomez alone to with
stand the Spanish forces, which pro
pose closing in on him.
The dispatch also says the "Mexi
can," believed to be Garza, formerly of
Texas, who has been foremost in burn
ing plantations has been killed.

SEALERS CLAIMS.
British Government Accepts Arbitration
to Settle Bering: Sea Awards. I
Washington, Jan. 27. Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador,
called on Secretary Olney to-day to
submit the final acceptance by the
British government of the plan of a
Bering sea commission to pass upon the
claims of Canadian sealers seized prior
to the Paris award. It remains only
for the president to submit the plan
to Congress, and as the legislative
branch has refused to pay a lump sum
for the seizures, it is considered cer
tain that the commission arrangement
will be approved. It is likely that
the president, in submitting the plan
to Congress, will suggest once more
the desirability of a single payment as
the most expeditious means of settle
ment, for the commission 0' arbitra
tion, if agreed to, will bind the United
States to the payment of any sum
which the commission may award.
The commission i to be composed
of one American commissioner, one
British commissioner and an umpire
to be chosen by the two. The per
sonnel of the commission has not been
suggested, but there is a belief that
the president of Switzerland will be
asked to act as umpire, or some one
designated by the Swiss president, if
the sessions of the commission neces
sitate the presence of the umpire

STATEHOOD AND SILVER.
Advocittes of Sound Money May Defeat
Arizona's Admission.
New York, Jan. 27. Nathan O.
Murphy, territorial delegate from and
ex-governor of Arizona, said to
day: "The people of Arizona are a
unit for self government. Six weeks
ago there was practically no opposi
tion to admitting Arizona. It was
generally conceded that the remain
ing territories should be admitted and
the responsibility and the expenses of
their government transferred to their
own people. But lately consider
able irritation has developed on
account of the monetary dispute, and
motives un-American, sectional and
selfish have caused several represen
tatives to announce their opposition to
the admission of any more Western
States whose Senators, they think,
would disagree with the East on the
money question. The merits involved
are temporarily obscured on this ac
count. I have, however, too much
confidence in the ultimate justice and
love of fair play of the American peo
ple to think that an entirely extrane
ous issue will be .allowed to prevent
justice being done to a loyal and pa
triotic sub-division of this country."

The Terrible Ordeal of a Mother Her

A Story that will Tou h ,
the Heart of Every
Mother.
Prom the Journal. Detroit. Mich.
A very grateful mother Is Mrs. A. L.
Ilartness, of 676 Grandy . Avenue, De
troit, for the wonderful cure which hr
daughter has received by the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Said Mm.
Ilartness: "Yes, my daughter's life has
been saved by using l'ink Pills, thanks
to a kind friend who recommended them
to me.
"Blanche was sick for ovr thi'
yriirs. She had the care rn the b'ft
physicians procurable, and rn expanse
or trouble was spared to give her rHu'f.
She was so thin tiiat she whs fairly ski:
and bon:-s, her digestion v.;s out of
order and she had the most awful head
aches. We gave up all hope of her re
covery. Her long, thin, listless face
made me nearly half crazy, and we did
every thing in our power to give h-r
strength and induce her to take an in
terest in anything.
"One day a friend told me about th
Pink Pills, and Mr. Ilartness went down
town and get three boxes She had
taken about one box, when, to my
amazement, one morning 1 beard her
? 'laying on the piano. I could hardly be
neve it, for it had been over a year
t-ince the piano had been opened.
"Soon she began to take short rids
on her bicycle, and soon she went sing
ing around the house, our own happy,
hearty little daughter once more.
"She thinks nothing of a spin on her
wheel over to Mt. Clemens it Pontiac,
and is as well as she ever was.
"I had a girl living at our l.oust who
was a great sufferer from impoverished
blood, and who received instant and
permanent relief from the use of one
box of the pills.
"If this information can be of any use
to help some poor sick one, it is given
with the greatest of pleasure "
The proprietors of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills state that they are n t a patent
medicine but a prescription used for
many years by an eminent practitioner
who produced the most wonderful re
sults with them, curing all forms of
weakness arising from a vatary con
dition of the blood or shattered nerves,
two fruitful causes of almost every ill
to which flesh is heir. They are entirely
harmless and can be given to weak and
sickly children with the greatest good
and without the slightest danger. Pink
Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent post paid on receipt of price, 50
cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 by
addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Com
pany, Schenectady, N. Y.
"'IlieOniet Farm Life.
Many complain of the confinement of
farm life, and especially at night they
must be at home. Statistics show that
nine-tenths of the crimes committed in
the world are done between sunset and
runrise. Ulessed rather is the farmer's
family, safe from the temptation and
secure in the pure influence of home.
Let us build our homes, sending forth a
moral and religious influence, a spot
that will be remembered with pleas
ure by our children in the years to
c jine, a quiet retreat in which to en
tertain our friends, a rest for the weary
traveler and stranger and an honor to
the community in which we live, and
we can say we have made the farm pay.

The encouraging and ever popular
bean, whether boiled. baked or por
porridegd, is thus alluded to by a cor
respondent at Lakeville, Conn:
4A family living in the city were vis
ited by relatives residing some distance
off. One of the visitors remarked that
! there had been a great quantity of por
ridge made in his mothers family,
'enough, .said he, to float a 74-gun
ship. Don't you think so, Unele John?
appealing to one of his relatives.
Yes, yes, replied that uncle, 'and
the ship could float twenty-four hours-
; and not hit a bean." Harper s Maga
