Governor Savage has again subsided after administering his " " "stinging" re buke to Editor Biown. He roiled the water perhaps considerably more than he expected to , and has wisely decided to make less commotion hereafter. It is bat a short time until the city election and , while thre are no matters of exceeding great moment at stake , every voter rhould exorcise his right of franchise and have his gay as to who the city ofilters shall be for the ensuing municipal year. Cecil Ilhodes , the Croesus of South Africa , didn't possess wealth enough to extend his life for a moment when his time came to die and ho was placed on n level with the least of those he cm. ployed. He wielded a stupendous power in his day , but disease brought his great power to a piano lower than that of the pnuiost iufiuit with life and development before it. It if reported that heavy frosts in - n , Washington nnd Idaho have the growing winter wheat ' cr.ip to the extent of not less than $3,000 000 8 HUG will prefer to do their figuring on the loss hustainert after the crop IK harvested and threshed. It may be like the etory that the Nebraska Ask your crops had been injured by a drought be fore they wore planted , or that frosts have killed the fruit crop before the vines , bushes nnd trees have budded. A York nurseryman uses a half page of the Republican and in attractive and readable language in rod print tolls of his fruit and forest trees. If the nursery is not prosperous and building up a fine trade it is not because there is a lack of the requisite business instinct. The newspaper men will wish such a nursery firm success and arc more or less envi ous of the York paper. . Boone county likewise has a candidate for congress on the republican ticket in the Third district. The Albion News presents the name of HOD. II. 0. Vail of that city as nn aspirant for the honors , subject to the appoval of the convention. Ho does not wish his name on the ticket unless the delegates consider him the best and strongest candidate in the field , which is a very commendable manner of getting before the nominating body. Ho has received the assurance of con siderable pre-convontion support and will undoubtedly bo backed by the del egation of his home county. According to Surgeon General Wy- man of the marine hospital service the physicians of America have a now dis ease to combat that of leprosy. In a recent report ho makes the assertion that there are 378 cases of this disease in 21 states of the nnion. He reports no cases in Nebraska , but there are cases in Iowa and South Dakota. Two deaths from the disease occurred in Iowa dur ing the past two years. Of the 278 canes , 145 wore born in the United States and 120 abroad. The birthplace of 13 is unknown. Of the whole num ber 180 contracted the disease in this country. The effort will undoubtedly be made to isolate all cases that can bo located and thus prevent the spread of the disease. Tuesday is the day when the people of Norfolk will decide which Koeuigstein Jack or Dan they will choose for mayor during the coming fiscal year. The brothers have conducted their campaign with a dignity very becoming under the circumstances and the people have been left largely to their own ohoico , which will probably bo a right one. Usually such choice is made with little regard to the party affiliations of the candidates , but it is probable that because - cause the present candidates are brothers 1 party lines may bo drawn a little more closely than is customary on similar 03- cantons. Koch certainly has a host I3.of friends and there ore so many friends in common that only the party will serve to dictate a choice between them , BATTLE CREEK. Rev. J. B.

Stone , the American missionary , passed through Vienna last night enter ter way to London.

She said to a. rep resentative of the Associated Press : "I have dally become better mca I was liberated. This I owe mainly to the fact that for many years 1 have been accustomed to the air and food of the locality where I was a prlsonwt. The brigands treated me and Mmo. Tsllka as well as they could. They told us It was to their Interest to keep us in as good health as possible , as nobody would pay ransom tor us If we were dead. Indeed , they aid the best they could. My companion. Mmo. Tsllka , bore all the hardship * brave ly. I can only say the best about her , as well as about her husband , whoso reported arrest for complicity In our abduction is quite absurd. It baa not yet been deckled who Is to pay the damage. I am going to London to sec my friends , afterwards I will go home to my mother , who is longing to see me. I cannot say how long I will remain In the United States or wheth er I will return to Macedonia. " Miss Stone said she wanted again to express her thanks to all the people ple everywhere who had taken such an Interest In the welfare of her compan ion and herself during the six months of their captivity. Miss Stone expressed - pressed her thanks with deep emotion. STEAL MOTHER'S BURIED GOLD. Skrabel Brothers of Gage County Dis covered by Hired Man. Beatrice , Neb. , March 28.
