Tlio war-cloud in tlio far oast Is iis-sumlng n tnoio tluentonlng aspect, nnd tho slightest false movo on tlio part of Russia will oauso tho .laps to doolaro war. Most of tho woild would lio Kind to t-oo tho plucky lit t lo Japs wallop tho ltusslatis good and hard. Tho Iroquois theater disaster has hIiowii how vain aro human oll'orts to forestall calamity. Tho house was tho most modern playhoiiho in Chicago and supposed to bo proof against dan Her from llro or panic, yet tho disastor was ono of tho worst in tho history of theater panics. Tho President's message on tho Pan ama canal tteaty is n very clear and elaborate statement of tlio factR in tho case, nnd ovoryono who takes tho trouble to read it will no longer liavo any doubts of tho causes leading up to tho Panama revolt and tho part tho United Stiitcs took in tlio matter. Richard Oluoy nnd Grovor Cleve land aro just now conducting a mutual admiration society, each declaring that tho othor is tlio only logical candidate for tho democratic presidential nomi nation. It is probnblo that Billy Dryan will not agree with olthor of thorn, nnd In tint caso thoy may as well "forgot It." Senator Dietrich won tlio first bout with District Attorney Summors in tho United States vs. D etrioh, trial of which was begun at Omaha Mondny in tho United States circuit court. Sen ator Dietrich demurred to tho con spiracy cfiargo and the demurrer was sustained by tho court. Tuesday a motion to postpouo farthor action in tho caso until Thursday was granted. Perry Heath's htory about MoKinloy having told him, just prior to his assassination, that ho would like to see Mark Hanuii succeed him in tho ptosl- dontial chair, lias boon discredited from mnny reliable sources. Heath's connection with tlio postal frauds and his nrrnignmout by Fourth Assistant Postmastor General Dristow hnvo evi dently disjointed his thinking appara tus. It is about tlmo for him to resign from his position as secretary of the Republican national committee. The rapidity with which tho ranks of the voteruuB of the civil war are be ting depleted Is a sad reminder that in a few more years they will live only in the memory of the people. It will soon bo too Into to do honor to thorn as they desorve. The etforts of the voterans of thl county to erect n suit able monument to their departed com rades have mot with little success. .It is a sad commentary on tho patriot ism and liberality of men who can afford it that thoso horoos of former days aro compelled to almost beg for tho honors which aro duo them.

JM jT Proverbs "When the butter won't come put i penny in the churn," is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers arc worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat ment. Wc will send you the penny, . c, a sample free.

Y. 90e.andf1.001 alldniKgitU. savo General Gordon, has just died at his old homo at Gaiusvillo, Gn., at tho advancod ago of 84 years Ho was one of tho ablest olllcors dovolopod by tho olvil war, ranking on tho coufodorato sldo fully up to tho high standard of Leo, Joseph E Johnston and Stouowall Jackson Ho was among tho ninny cool bonded mon of tho south who wont reluctantly into the rebellion, but from tho beginning till tho very end ho held high lunk nnd was all tho time one of tho most important notors in tho great military drama. Dy many tho palm of suporior gon lous has boon awarded to Stonewall Juckson, and that ho was a commander of marvidous foroo and brilliancy is conceded. Dut it Is well known to oloso students of tho campaigns bo tweon Wasningtou and Richmond that when thoro was desperate lighting, when tho i-tornest and most torrilla tests of military virtuo woroto bo mot, it was to Longitroet and his corps that tho work was habitually assigned by Leo Longstreet commanded iu no one sorlos of movoments as spectacu lar aud brilliant as Jackson's famous maneuvers In the Shenandoah valley, but for grim tenacity, for desperate omorgonoles, for sustaluod ability throughout the bloody length of the greatest war in modorn times, no general on the confederate side sur passed Longstreet, If wo except only Iioboit E.Leo and Joseph E.Johnston. Longstreet has been iilamed by somo, most severely by General Gordon, for tardiness In tho awful churgoon Semi nary ridgo on tho third day at Gotts burg. That charge is now regit' dod by military critics as a miotnke, a mlstuko a thousand-fold more disastrous than the famous chargo at Dtilakluva, which was a bagatelle iu comparison aud had no effect on tlio nlbod campaign, wheiea-'at Gettysburg the doom of too confederacy was bcalod when Long stroofa column was hurled back. It was Leo's mistake, not that of Long- street, who protested iigiihit It and previously udvisod the cone t thinking movement Leo generously assumed tho responsibility, nor did ho blame ! Longstreet for failure to obey orders, nor is there evidence that ho did not J movo at tlio earliest possible moment, or that tlio rosult would hsvo been diirereut if tlio chargo could hnvo been tmido four or six hours soouir. From tho hour of A npoinutox, Long street without reservation accented . the situation and throw all his inllu etico ou tho sido of reconciliation. Genorul Grant, his old f riond, when ho came to tho presidency offered and Longstreet accepted olllco, aud there by for many years lost casto in tho south. I General Lougsteet was a man of high persoual character, kindly, quiet, rosorvod, faithful to friouds, and do ' lug tho right as ho saw it. Mauy of I his wnrmest friends wero old soldiers ' of tho Union ido who will sincerely 'rogtot his death. McHlnlcy's Choice. Tho credibility of tho talo told by Perry Hoath, to tho elfeot that Mo Kinloy had cuosi n Senator, linnnu to XlSMWSak4 s iccod to tho presidency, and to d 1 Icutli so on u certain occasion, fails In two Important points. It has bcon shown that McKfnlcy was not in Washington and had not boon for many weolcs at tho time Heath claims that tho revelation was mndo to him at the Whlto Houso It is not likely tlmt MoKinloy had cliosou a successor in the sense of a deflnito doicrmimatlon. That nould not Imvo boon like MoKinloy Hut there is good reason to believe that McKiulcy's directions and admira tion had centered upon ono man, and that if he had been called upon to choose a siiccostor n that time, which was just as-ho was fairly entering up on his econd term, ho would very likely have oliotnti tho ablest member of his cabinet Ellliu Root. Thero is evidence that MoKinloy was profoundly impressed with the great abilities of Ellhu Soot, as President Itoosovolt. and as all discerning mon who hnvo o .mo into close relations with him hnvo been, and that ho do libera oly planned lo put the socretary in the way of becoming better known to tlio American people. It is Mifo to say that MoKinloy, if ho hud been called upon to namo his successor fnHKT, as Hoosovolt, If lie hail the choosing of his successor in V.W, would Imvo named Elihu Itoot. Football Game n Tic. Thn Supurior Red Cloud football game on New Year's day was about is rough ami bloody an exhibition of tlio game lis the most enthusiastic crunk could wish to see. Tho Superior ag gregation looked like giants by the side of tlio Red Cloud boys and tlio friends of tlio homo tnm weio greatly discouraged by tne outlook. Superior drew on the Kansus university, N hrtckn university and towns along tlio U & M. fori!" playeis, and canio lure with tlio dt t'rnnntUion to win. The Red Cloud bots put up a stiff git tne, however, and at tlio critical time succeeded in outgonoralllng their opponent. Red Cloud kicked (iff iu the first bait, and tlio game whs close nnd exciting from that timo on. Tin Superior boys, owing to their weight, depomlod mainly on lino bucking, but were unable to ndvanco tho ball for uiiiterinl gains. Whon H"d Cloud flu ally get the ball it was rapidly ndvnuc od in Superior territory, whoro it re mained during the greator part of the llru half, and when time for tho lirst half was called the ball was nonr the center of the Held. In the second half Supoiior sturted iu with a tierce ntta:k on the line, nnd xtendily Htlvanred the bill to Red C ourt's five yard tine, where the most exciting play of the game was nisde! Nicol wont thro'igh the center and it lnokod like a touchdown, but Drown and Jeffries tnckled and Nicol fumbled tlio bnll. Joffrio got it, and a wrangle ensued, Superior claiming thnt Jeffries hnd knocked the bill from NicolV hands. Thoro was but ten minutes in which to tlnUh iho game, and tho re feree and umpire being unnhfa to agree, the players wore finally given two minutes in which to settle the dispute. Neither sido would give in and the gime endod shortly afterward with tlo ball in R"d Cloud's pessossion on its. own flvr-yard lino. The tenuis lined up as follows. RED CLOUD.
