WASHINOTON NOTES. Wasiiinotun, D. C, May 10. If oithor Admiral Sampson with his licet frcdh from tho destruction of the fortifications in tho harbor nt San Juan, Porto Hico, or Commodore Schloy, with tho Hying squadron, which is itching for a chance to (lis tiuguiah itself, can meet and tight tho Spanish Capo Vcrdo fleet this week tho end of tho war will bo in sight, l'hcro is no doubt that cither Sampson or Schley can crush tho Spanish fleet, if they can only get at it, but there is a doubt about their getting at it. Tho Spanish fleet has been piny in g now-you-see-it and uow-you-don't-seo-it. It is now thought to be trying to get to Cuba without lighting cither of our big fleets. If it succeeds, tho war will be considerably prolonged, and that is evidently what Spain desires, in tho hope that if tho war is prolonged some other European power will gut mixed up in it. Owing to tho superior .speed of the vessels composing the Spanish fleet, they will have tho choice of light ing or running should they be met by either of our fleets. The most formid able lighters in both our fleets the monitors and bnttlo-ships aro too slow to keop up with the Spanish licet, if it desires to run awav without light ing, it is only a qusetlon of time when every ship in this Spanish fleet will bo oithor captured or destroyed; if thoy light our fleet it will be immediately, if thoy got into a Cuban harbor it will bo u matter of n few weeks. This week will tell which. V Tho blockade of Cuba, which during tho past few days has been accom panied by some stirring lighting which wo got tho best of, besides cut ting two important Spanish cables, will bo continued, but the lauding of tho ai my in Cuba has been postponed until after the Spanish fleet has been wiped out. A very distinct reminder of the civil war is the more or less active, although of cotir.-tf, not open criticUm of the civilian .it till" appointments made by President McKinley, which Is heatd among army ollicers ami their friends. Among the appointments especially criticised as having been made solely because of social influences are tho following: John Jacob Astor; who knows nothing whatever about military ntTairs and some say very little about anything, to bo inspector general with the rank of lieutenant colonel; James G. Bltiluo, who has tried and failed in about as many things as possible, and who doesn't know enough about tactics to be a corporal, to bo assistant adju tant general with a rank of captain; Russell 1). Harrison, whoso escapades, business and otherwise, doubtless add ed many gray hairs to his father's head to bo assistant inspector general with a rank of major; Charles 11. Miller, whoso appointment is duo solely to his father being an old friend of tho president; Fred W, Alger, who is the mmi of a soldier, Secretary Alger, and who makes his military debut as assistant adjutant general with u rank of e.ip tain; (j.Cruightou Wubb, closely con nected with the Vauderbill family; John A. l.ogau, whom the governor ot Illinois declined to make a colonel; Lloyd Carpenter (iriscom, sou of tho president of the American Steamship line; J. It. Forukoi, Jr., son of Senator Poraker; Latv. Audor.iou, ,i social swell of Washington, and Hush Uuidukopur, a Newport veteriuary surgeon, all of whom have become captains or majors, Ami mnjoiity of the stall are regular army ;Hicers a few grccnics sue not likely to impair its work. The democratic senators, some of whom are very much in favor of an nexation, decline to make the annex ation of Hawaii a party question, but then is a movement a Jiang members of the party in tho house, to which has been leported favorably a joint resolu tion providing for annexation, to hold a caucus for tho purpose of trying to commit the party to opposition to an nex ullou. In view of the sentiment of the country on the subject such action would bo very poor politics. V The war revenuo bill was so oxten lively amended by tho senate linauce committee befoio it was reported to the senate that It is really a new meas ure. The amended bill is far from satisfactory to tho tobacco interests, which were not pleased with the doubling of tho lax on manufactured tobacco from six to twelve cents per pound because it increases that tax to sixteen cents per pound. Tho propri etary medicines and toilet article mak ers are protesting and saying that the stamp tax on their wares is too great. Tho representatives of tho brewers aro not saying much, because they have gotmoio iu the bill as it now stands than they expect to have when tho bill is passed, and thoy legard it good policy to keep mum. Tho striking out of the bond clause by tho committee has not alarmed tho administration. It was expected from the committee. It is understood that a majority of sen ators aro pledged to vote to restore tho bond clause. So confident are treasury olllciuls that this will bo done that they aro going right ahead preparing the printed blanks that will bo needed in distributing tho bonds. The provis ions for issuing 9150,000,000 in green backs, and for issuing $42,000,000 iu silver certificates iu advance of tho coinage of the sciguorago on tho silver bullion owned by the government, aro not likely to bo in the bill when it be comes a law. . STATE CREEK. Small grain never looked better. Grass is getting good and stock can now live on it without grain. Creed Perry bus a letter from Albert Rubins. Ho is still atTopeka ami says thoy have not drawn their clothing yet. Tho old Undo Joo Fogcl mansion looks as is it had had a mino under it similar to tho ono under tho Maine in Havana harbor. Tho new preacher has not put in his appearance at Mt. Hop:, yet. His name is said to be Wright so ho will not wrong any one, and will bo on hand soon. All is quiet iu this part. Nearly everybody and his next door neighbor is finishing up planting corn. The acreage planted far exceeds that of last year. Tho let cream supper at Pleasant Dale a few nights ago was not us grand a success as it would havo boon had tho weather been warmer and tho peo ple dono planting. Sovoral did not go because thoy had been ut work and wero tired. Wo learn from V. Scrlvnor, superin tendent, that tho time of tho Sunday school at Mt. Hopo has changed from 2 p. m. to 10 a. in, and every neighbor is invited to attend. A special iuvita tlou is extended to all other schools iu tho neighborhood to attend. Tho school picnic on Penny creek last Friday was not as well attended as it would havo been had corn plant ing been over. This ended tho second term Miss Heed has taught iu this pari, one at Pleasant Dale and ono at Penny creek. She is a very popular and sue oc.nful teacher and deserves great praise and credit for the minner in which she has conducted her schools. Occasional. COWLE3 Tin Hit for lnt wi'bIc I he wheat oiop looking splendid Corn planting is the general brt'lness these days. Little Lloyd llailey is rapidly recov ering from his bad accident. Fuller & Good shipped two ear loads of hogs and cattle last week. Rev. Hussorg held services in the Chiistiaii church last Sunday after noon. On Monday evening a rather lively celebration of the glorious Manila vic tory was held on our streets. Anvils ami fireworks made tho peaceful in habitants think that something was the matter. Tho Maine memorial service iu the Congregational church last Sunday was attended by a large crowd. The addresses by Cupt. Hlaiiie, F. A. Good, ami the pastor, and .special music well rendered, made up an attractive ser vice. A liberal ollerlng was taken up for the proposed monument. On Saturday evening last a china wedding party was held at the resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. John Waller. A very pleasant and sociable time was spent by tho largo company of friends and relatives presold. After refresh ments Hcv. Deakln was called upon iu behalf of tho company to present a very pretty china service. Ho con gratulated Mr. and Mrs. Waller on their record of two decades of married life, giving an example of constancy and lidelity, without which there can bo no true homo life. Many congratu lations and good wishes were ex pressed. . LESTER. A small hail storm struck this placo Tuesday evening but no damage dono. No church Sunday ou account of tho rain. Farmers aro almost through planting corn. A. U. Saladen and wife wore in Hcd Cloud Tuesday. Missos Mary Hasser and Ida Iiakor were at Cowles one day last week.

Mrs. Moushaiig was calling on Mrs. Middloton last week. Most of tho farmors of this place havo finished planting corn. Most of tho people of Willow creek reservation wero in Cowles Saturday. Tho rain Sunday prevented Sunday school and church at tho Willow creek school house. Some of tho boys of this place are wishing their corn was laid by so they could go to war. Some of our farmers fear they will have to plant their corn over because of it rotting iu the ground. Ti:ndkiikuot. Opening Exoroisos Trans-Mississippi Exposition, Omnhn, Juno 1. 1808.

Flossio Deakln, youngest daughter of Ruv. and Mrs. Deakln who died at her homo in Cowles, Nebraska Tuesday May 17-03 after an illness of only a fow days was born iu Shrowsburg, England April 1st, 18S0. Sho camo to America with her parents when two years of ago and 1ms dwelt In Cowles for about four years, t lossio has gone from our midst and her going lias left a vacant placu not only iu the family circle but every where in our little village where her presence has mtido sunshine. Flossio was a leader among her playmates and greatly loved by all. The funeral took placo Wednesday from Congregational church of which her father is pastor. The church was tilled to overthrowing with sorrowing neighbors and friends who had come to show their love for tho little one and sympathy tor the parents, brothers and sisters. Kind friends tilled the church aud covered the ca-kct with flowers Wo laid the little limly away in the cemetery in a neii in no.veis ami uic little ew grave wtis colored i it h llowiis by the sor rowing schdiliiiati's of little Flossie. We can but sorrow now and yet with tho pain still there comes a joy to know that thu dear one shall never more know sorrow or pain but till is joy aud she shall some day meet her loved ouos at the gate. Considerable diseudoii is being par ticipated in us to whether "Phil lipine is spelled with a single or dotibl "1" but we think since Dewey knocked a little "I" out of them one is enough. The Superior Journal says, "A ciazy man was picked up on our streets Tuesday morning." That's nothing new for Superior. We have heard it reported by people who have stopped there between trains that crazy folks in great numbers infest the shouts of that hamlet. Give us something new. Tho gravel walk between tho depot and the main part of town is a good thing (?) this wet weather, for small boys who go barefoot and carry sling shots, but older people think very difl'ori nt. If our farmers and eitiei.s intend to patronize till the shows that visit Bed Cloud this summer they had better ask Loiter to send tho price of farm cereals up u little higher. The community is sullerlng cousibcrably with kidney disease, however before thu tho "three mouths for a dollar treatment" purchased on our streets this week is all taken no doubt it will bo improved. Madrid is cooling down. While defeats are still counted as vic tories nothing further has been said about tho satisfaction of Spanish hon or. So much rain lias fallen iu tho west part of tho state that the fast trains havo to slow down for fear of sliding off the roadbed. Our creamery plant presents somowhat of a dilTcrcnt aspect these mornings as compared with tht mornings a few short weeks ago. Tho farmors of this section must bo prosperous. Peterson has sold over eighty buggies among them sluco the middle of February, mostly for cash. Tho heavy wind and light hail last Tuesday did considerable damage to tho fruit crop. It has been discovered that Dewoy is a red hot republican. No woudor ho was so successful. Tho towu of Cavite, recently bombarded by Dewey, should be changed to Cavity, iu remembranco ot tho hole in which tho Spanish fleet dropped. A fow buildings on tho cast sido of Webster street would look considerably better if they wero elevated to tho grade. No talk as yet of a Fourth of July cele bration in this city. The probabilities are the tiro department will remain in blissful ignoranco of tho celebration this year. The weather has finally ar rived at a genuine spring basis and gardens are humping themselves, so aro tho weeds. The volunteer com pany will march with the G. A. H's ou Decoration Day. There aro a number of lawns in this city which look as neat as a parlor, and there aro still others which could be considerably improved by a llttlo work. There are people iu this vicinity who wish they had not been told that there was nothing to hold up the price.
