JVifayt. By F. M. K1MMELL. OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER. Largest Circulation in Red Willow Co. Subscription , $1 a Year in Advance HON. GKOKGK D. MIUKLKJOHN has honorably and ably filled every public station approaching the U. S. senator- ship and he would give a good account of himself in that position , by the same token. MR. BRYAN confess that Nebraska pops look so much like democrats that you cannot tell them apart. This is the result of natural laws. It has always been noted that in happy marriages , husband and wife finish by resembling each other. Despite their little family jars the marriage of the pops and demo crats in Nebraska has been measurably happy. The twain were evidently made for each other. ONE of the strangest of the phenom- eua noted in Cuba by General Wood is the large immigration from Spain which during the past year has exceeded sixty thousand. But it is still more strange that these new settlers fresh from Spain , where Uncle Sam is perhaps hated more intensely than anywhere else in Europe , are almost unanimously in favor of an nexation to the United State * , preferring the stars and stripes to a flag of their own. Journal. TUB friends of Donne college will re joice to learn from the special report of the endowment committee that success has attended the campaign to place the finances of the institution on a sound basis. A large amount of money bus been needed to pay off old debts nn-l to keep up the running expenses , but the money has been furnished together with enough in addition to increase the en dowment of the college to $ [ 50.000 The full extent of this victory for Doane college will be understood when the re port is read and it is seen just how much money has been required to bring about the present satisfactory situation The college has been doing faithful and efficient work in the cause of higher ed ucation in Nebraska for nearly thirty years. It is a cause for general congrat ulation among the school people of the state as well as among the supporters of the Congregational church , that Doane college has been strengthened and stim ulated to so marked an extent by this successful campaign for an increased en dowment.

Its subjects preach and practice two cardinal truths : First , believe in Christ to the salvation of your own soul. They do not make two bites to that cherry. They believe that when Christ saves a man he is saved and that if saved , his life in disposition and conduct will show it by growing in the grace of the know ledge of Jesus Christ. Second , work to save your brother. They take no stock in any man's salva tion or profession of salvation , no matter how orthodox his creedif , he won't work to save his fellow man.

The British war office admits the loss of 40,000 men , exclusive of those in hos pitals and those .who were invalided home. Now what is the number of these ? The British governnient is silent on that point , hut we are told that about 100,000 men garrison the territory oc cupied. Roberts has 30,000 men for of fensive operations ; the admitted losses are 40,000 , thus making a total of 170,000. The number sent to South Africa WHS according to official statement , 220,000. Where are the missing 50,000 ? There is but one conclusion : Great Britiun has already lost forty per cent of the army raised for this war or about 90,000. If the Boers know this , then it is not as- touishing that they refuse to give up the struggle , for they are still the real victors despite their reverses. England must continue to send troops or her army by next April will have melted away to such an extent that it is no longer a match for the burghers. Truly the latter have staggered humanity.
