GKNKRAi , OTIS' reply to the questior
how many troops are needed in tlu
Philippines indicates that the chance
to get another Nebraska regiment inaj
be accepted later. If the government
wants fighters the Nebraska boys and
other western troops are just the kind it
is looking for. Omaha Bee.
there is an abundance of grass
on the plains of Nebraska and Kansas ,
drouth conditions prevail in the south
west and the ranchers and stockmen are
becoming alarmed. The conditions in
the mountains , where the snowfall was
so enormous , last winter , ought to be
favorable to a wet spring , but so far the
dry winds have simply evaporated the
moisture from the snow and the streams
are hardly so large as usual at this time
of year. The drouth extends across the
southwest from Texas to southern Cal
ifornia , and as far north as Colorado and
southern Idaho. Few of the weather
stations in that district show more than
one-hslf of the normal rainfall since
March r. Denver has had but one-third
of the normal precipitation , while Yuma
and Phoenix , Arizona , have had abso
lutely none. State Journal.
WAKN the late legislature passed the
dog law , recognizing man's next friend
in the scale of creation of property ,
The Journal warned the dog catchers of
the stale that their occupation was gone
and did not feel like mourning for it.
But it is hard to shake off an abuse that
has uionej' in it and up in Omaha they
have been going right along , confiscating
i ! every valuable dog they coul.l find on
the street or in an unguarded door yard
and hauling them to the pound for ran
som or private sale. But Judge Scott
has warned them at last that if dogs are
property as hath just been declared by
the sovereign state of Nebraska , the fel
low that snatches them without warrant
or process of law is a thief and may be
jugged for it. If dogs are property they
may be taxed in a regular and decent
manner the same as a horse or a cow ,
.but no policeman , and much less an un
authorized hobo , is to be permitted to
sequestrate them for non-payment of the
tax in any other way than by distress
warrant. The dog catcher must go.
