THE stars and stripes now float in Havana , and many coast wise vessels of the PhilJipiues have also unfurled the stariy emblem of lib erty. THEY do say that Colonel Bryan is consumed with desire to get home and look after his political fences , and contemplates resigning in order to do so. REMEMBER a Republican United States senator is involved , and vote for Dr. J. E. Hathorn for repre sentative. He will be a credit to Red Willow county. THE mortality in General Lee's corps of 30,000 men at Jackson ville has been much below the average of military camps. In 871 cases treated iu one division hospital between July and Septem ber there was a total of twenty- seven deaths. The figures are a remarkable contrast with the sen sational stories set afloat. FOR the first time since 1883 the postoffice department expects to realize a small profit. The receipts are expected to reach § 100,000- 000. While the largest sum in the past has been § 82,000,000. The government expects to realize in the neighborhood of § 5,000,000 profit , this year , a fact largely traceable to the economical and careful management of the depart ment. THE pops blow a good deal about the old soldiers , and their candidate for congress in this dis trict is going to make his cam paign upou the efforts he made in the pension department in their behalf. The republicans have nominated an old soldier for their candidate. He is a splendid man , too : a man against whom not a word of ill can be truthfully spok en. He is an able , substantial , successful man , practical iu busi ness , honorable in his methods , is polished in his manner and is in close touch with the people among whom he lives. He will make an ideal congressman for the Fifth district. Mindeu Gazette. Awarded HighesV. Honors World's Fair , DR ; CREAM BAKING POWDHt MOST PERFECT MADE. A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder.
