Thcro is coiiBldcrftblo stroiiK talk unions our pcopio mill oincr parties interested therein or securing 11 now and doslrublo educational Institution fur Crawford 11 vounc ladles' academy and hoardlnit school In the near future. Two Catholic Sisters of tlio Order of l'rovldenco visited our city recently for thu purpose 01 looking up n, suitable situ oil wiiiun to build. Tlio contemplntfd project of locating a con vent school at Alliance has been abandoned and a proper effort on the part of our people should result in bringing It to Crawford, as our thriving and progressive llttlo city the rallroud center of northwest Nobraska poss esses all of the. necessary conveniences and attractive natural surroundings, coupled as these uro with healthy climatic conditions and plenty of pare water to make, it an ideal place for building mi educational school of this kind with ovory assurance of permanency as it would bo easy of access by rail for young ladles from Alliance, Charon, Douglas, Kdgo inont, and numerous other towns north, bouUi, cast and west. No doubt the ulsters who were hsro will re turn soon or others equally Interested visit us in f urtiierance of this mission, and when thoy do no, every vantage ground v?o have, should bo fairly placed boforo them and every poss ible encouragement given them in a laudable endeavor to secure this much-prized Institu tion of learning for Crawford. Crawford Tribune. Our Crawford friend is mistaken as to the facts in the case. Far from being abandoned, the Sisters' academy project, we have the pleasure of stating, is progressing with flying colors. The fine brjck building is progressing and by the middle of next JUne we will be able to show the good people of our sister cit' and the rest of the northwest a model structure for educational pur poses, and invite the Crawford citizens to send their children down next fall for a thorough training under the direction, of the good Sisters of St. Frances. Not only this, Mr. Tribune, eiMliancQiwill also hav,e a fine hospital erected in the near future, which will do further credit to our citizens. This institution will also be under the direc tion of the sisters and will occupy a block of ground just west of the academy. This will give the people of the north west an opportunity to send their sick and maimed to Alliance, rather than subjecting them to the paiuful joiirney of going to Omaha, as is now the case.

GENERAL BROOKE WINS SUIT Need Not Pay Countess $250,000 for Destroying Her Beef Monopoly. Washington, March 17. Tho long pending claim of the Countess of Buena Vista against Major General Brooke was adjudicated by the su premo court of tho United' States un favorably to tho countess. The suit was begun in tho United States dis trict court for the southern district of New York and was a demand for the payment of damages to tho extent of $250,000 claimed to .havo, been sus tained through an official order is sued by General, Brooko while serving as military governor of Cuba, by which the countess' excluslvo right to slaughter cattle in Havana was abol ished. She claimed this right as tho daughter of tho hereditary high sheriff of Havana. The slaughter right was one of tho perquisites of the office of sheriff. When her father, the last male of the line, died tho office was abolished, but his daughter continued to hold the franchise until it was annulled by Major General Brooko and the district court Intimated that while- no action would Ho against Gen eral Brooke, there was legitimate claim against tho United States for damages under tho Paris treaty. With out expressing directly an opinion as to the responsibility of the United States government, the supremo court affirmed the decision on the ground that the countess had suffered no loss of property. American Warship on the Way. Washington, March 17. An Amer ican war vessel, probably the gunboat Eagle, is now on the way, from Guanta uniuo to Port au Prince, Haytl, where tho Haytlen government summarily executed a number of alleged' revolu tionists. Tho vessel is not sent there because of any serious apprehension on the part of officials here that Amer ican Interests at Port au Prince or at other points In Haytl are in serious danger, hut as a matter of precaution. It is not believed at the stato depart ment that foreign interests in Haytl aro seriously menaced. Tho disposi tion of the administration Is to keep hands off and to give the poople of Haytl an opportunity to work out their own salvation. It is realized that In dealing with revolutionary movements stern repressive measures often are necessary and the impression hero is that it Is not up to tho American gov ernment to Interfere with tho acts of our neighbors unless the situation is such that our Interests are In jeopardy or that broad humanitarian interests require us to lnterfero.

RAILROAD BONDS ARE REJECTED Proposition to Issue Money on Car riers' Securities is Withdrawn by Committee Wisconsin Senator Raps Morgan and Standard Oil Crowd. Washington, March 18. "What I havo to say is mado mora pertinent, If possible, by tho action taken during the day with respect to tho Aldrlch bill," Bald LaFolletto, In beginning his speech In tho senate on thu currency bill. His reference was to tho amend ments mado to tho bill by thu commit tee on finance, excepting railroad bonds from classes of bonds to bo used to Becuro emergency currency, limiting tho retirement of such cur rency nnd providing that such Issues should bo permitted up to tho par value of bonds used to securo them. Speaking of tho "Morgan nnd Stand ard' Oil banks," and looking ncross tho chamber toward Senator Aldrlch, LaFollotto declared: "I will Bhow tho SENATOR LA FOLLEfTTE, connection of thoso great groups with tho bill pending horo, notwithstanding tho dexterous withdrawal of tho plan to incorporate railway bonds In tho bill." Aldrlch said tho most earnest objec tion to this bill waB mado by tho Na tional City bank of New York nnd that Mr. Vandorllp, vice president of that bank, has opposed tho measure. ''It is," he added, "not only opposed by that bank, but by all tho banks of NowYork. I have rocelved' this morn Ing'rt statement from tho Now York Clearing Houso association, saying wo would better havo no currency legislation at all than havo this bill, and stating reasons why wo should havo nn asset currency. I know of no bank or banking man In fnvor of this bill. Tho fact Is tho banks throughout tho country aro against It and tho soimtor from Wisconsin has Btudied this situation to llttlo effect If ho had failed to learn that." "I will Inquire," retorted LaFolletto, "what tho position of Mr. Morgan Is." Thoro was laughter in tho galleries. "I do not know," replied Aldrlch; "I know Mr. Morgan Is a man of wldo experience and wise judgment nnd patriotism, and I should feel gratified if ho approved this bill." "Perhaps," roplled LaFolletto, In a tone of sarcasm, "in some way tho chairman of tho flnanco commlttco will bo able to find out where Morgan stands. His countenance, beaming from the gallery of this chamber while the senator from Rhode Island spoke on this measure, rather indicated that Mr. Morgan, tho head of ono of the3o great groups, was not entirely adverse to propositions embraced in tho bill." "I suppose." said Aldrlch, "tho sen ator from Wisconsin will ngrce with me that this proposition should bo dis cussed on its merits as to what It will do and not in view of what men In the poslUon or MT. Morgan think of lt7" "Let me say," LaFolletto replied, "you cannot always tell from tho lines of the bill. I should say tho propo sition to withdraw the provision to incorporate railway bonds in this bill throws n floodlight upon the purposo of this legislation. Let mo say to tho senator from Rhode Island further that It is not beyond question that these great organizations might put out hero or there criticisms of this proposition to give color to the idea thnt there is np grent and mighty pow er organized behind thU legislation." Authors of the Panic. Declaring that the recent financial stringency In the country was brought about by the Influence of "Standard OH" and J. Pierpont Morgan, LaFol letto entered upon a denunciation of men high In the financial world. "There were no commercial reasons for a panic," said LaFollotte. "There wero speculative, legislative and po litical reasons why a panic might servo special Interests. There wero business scores to settle. There was legislation to be blocked and u cur rency measure suited to the system to be secured. Thero was a third term to bo disposed of, and policies to bo discredited. Prices can be lowered or advanced at tho will of the 'system.' When the farmer must movo his crops, a scarcity of money may be created nnd the prices lowered. When tho crop passes Into the control of tho speculators artificial stringency may be relieved and prices advanced, and the lllogitlmate profit raked off tho agricultural industry may be pock eted in Wall street." 1 ' " nail "i flTfcMfci 1000 Every dollar spent in painting your houso and sheds nnd fence this spring: will make it look too dollars better, last longcf and yivo vou n degree of pleasure rwor experienced before.
