M salary of $3,600 per annum atm -

M The republican senators have
M happily agreed on the sugar sched-
M ule in caucus , the amendment of
M the finance committee to the Ding-
B ley bill being amended and agreed
M upon. The amendment is calcu
li lated to remove the objections
m urged in some quarters that the
M Aldrich schedule was too favorable
m to the sugar refiners. State Jour-

B Judge Baker's refusal to con-
m tinue the Bartley case over until the
m next term of court is highly comm -
m mended in business circles. There
m is no reason , in a simple issue of
m this sort , an issue of fact , that can
fl be decided in short order , for dragr-
ging the trial through six months
or a year. Since the ex-treasurer
1 has not shown up the money of the
state with which he is charged , he
m n should be given the earliest chance
1 possible to locate the cash or take
j the consequences. Journal.
M " The Omaha World-Herald stops

B answer that it is on grounds of a
H bonded indebtedness of $262,000-
h 000 contracted by Grover Cleveland
M ' with the assistance of the Wilson-
M ' Gorman-Bryan deficiency for-rev-
H enue-only act. It is no more nor
H less than a war tax , to pay the
H -war debt incurred by the crowd
H that surrendered the industries of
H the country to "Yurrup" and made
H a wreck of the finances of Uncle
H Sam. The World-Herald is at lib-

H The suit of the South Omaha <
H stock yards people to prevent by

I enforcement of the new state law j
I regulating stock yards and fixing '
H maximum rates of charges for them
H is stimulated by the- success of
H the railroads in holding up the
H Nebraska maximum freight rate
law. The two cases , however , seem
H to be altogether different. If the
H federal court can undertake indis-
H criminately to stop state laws from
B going into effect on mere allega-
I tion that they reduce the inflated
H profits of some corporation , the
legislative power of our states

I of postage stamps in commemoration -
tion of the queen's jubilee which are
I * described as being almost the size
I and shape of our old Columbian
I postage stamp and embellished
I- with two portraits of Victoria , one

other in 1897. Canada will be
t . welcome to the exclusive use of
these stamps , as after our experi
ence with the Columbian posters
L patrons of the American postoffice
f find their present adhesives quite
| large enough. The double por-

lorses on the prairie to eat , while
ie preached. Such were the good
Id days of long ago.

i cure seemed of any avail. As
tated in her own words :
"My daughter was taken sick
ome time ago and 1 tried many
aediciues in vain. She was very
reak , appetite poor , bowels costive ,
nd night sweats. She appeared
d be cold all the time , being taken
rith violent chills at times. Her

A Heavy Storm.
For the space of over two hours , lnsl
night , n severe rain , thunder and % ht
ning storm prevailed in this section. The
rain fell in torrents and was accompanied
by terrific lightning and thituder , innk
ing strong hearts qunke aud the timid tc
seek seclusion.
The steeple of the Congregational
church was struck and considerably shat
tered ; the damage will amount to about
a hundred dollars.
Lightning went into the Episcopal
church on the electric light wires , and a
number of persons were somewhat
stunned , Rev. Russell and Miss Burgess
being among the number.
The precipitation as recorded at the
Burlington station was 1 80 inches. It
was one of the heaviest storms of the
year.
The stroke that damaged the Congre
gational church went out of the church
on the electric light wires , which became
heavily overcharged played havoc with
the electric lights on that entire circuit ;
and there were similar eperiences with
electric lights all over the city.
The rains extended from the moun
tains on east , being lighter east of Cam
bridge. At Barr , Colorado , the Burling
ton has a big washout , which will delay
trains badly. No. 2 is coming o'er the
U. P. to Cheyenne and then east over
