WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1894-
Some verv damaging testiniouv
has bNa introduced in the Brecb
inridge-Pollard scandal in the tak
ing of recent depositions at Dan
ville, Ky. The latest developments
appear to put the matter in a very
different light.
The yellow fever has appeared
among the United States war ves
sels off the coast of South America,
and noor Jack Tar appears to be m
store danger from the attacks of
Yellow Jack than rroin tne ounets
of the revolutionists.
The coveruor of Kansas may have
1nfc hut erons bv crasshoppers, but
be never before had Mrs. Lease after
hun. The sooner he builds himself
a cyclone cellar the better. His
populist militia, organized to pro
tect his sacred person, will hardly
save him by forming in a hollow
square before his door every morn-
' The duties received under the
McKinlev law for the Year 1893
were $173,098,471. The duties esti
mated under the Wilson bill for a
like period would have been $107,
000,179, making a difference of over
165,000,000. The poor people of
Europe must be looked after.
American workers, according to
modern democracy, must take care
of themselves.
The average American -is no such
as one might have imagined
after the returns came in in .Novem
ber, 1892. The rapidity with which
he lets go a hornet he has captured
ia play, after he experiences the
badness end of the beast, is illus
trated.in the state and bye-elections
of 1803 and '94. He lives to learn,
and an object lesson is never entirely
wasted on him.
It is believed now that the out
rage committed by Emile Henry at
tne cafe of the Hotel Terminus
last week, when twenty -four
persons were injured by the explo
sion of a bomb thrown by him, was
part of a vast anarchistic conspiracy.
It is thought that the plot was pre
pared in London, and that twenty
three men, among them Henry,
were assigned to execute the out-jages.

Monday of this week President
Cleveland sent in the name of Sen
ator White, of Louisiana, to the
senate as his nominee for associate
justice of the supreme court. The
appointment was promptly con
firmed in the same hour it was made
without the formality of referring
it to the committee. At his third
attempt Grover seems to have suc
ceeded admirably. The gentleman
named, with but a couple of excep
tions, is the youngest man who
ever sat upon the supreme bench.
He is a native of Louisiana, forty

twenty-one.years to serve before he

Nebraska Crry,Feb.l9. Friday mom-
It is an evident fact that whenever you bear a man
bowl be is hit, and hard too. You have no doubt read
the papers the past week and by the language used you
can readily see that some of our would-bo. (if they could)
competitors are very sore. What is the reason? Trade
is not coming their way as fast as they like it, and they
think to force it by opening war on us. We, as a rule,
pay no attention to such slush. It is a-good advertise
ment for us and it costs us nothing. But we must let
our voice be heard that you ma' know that we are still
living. We wish to say that wo do not have to go out
on the street and take a man by the collar and pull
him into our store as we know soiuo have done. We do
not have to resort to this means to get custom. The
people know where they get bargains and who their
friends are and come to us. Look here, did you over
bear tell of the like, that because an article was sold at
auction at a sacrifice that it was not as good as if it bad
cost the regular wholesale price? Nonsense. Tho peo
ple are not all crazy. Such slush puts us very much in
mind of a little dog running out at a big dog and howl
ing and barking and prancing around, making all tho
noise, but look when it comes down to business; where
is your little dog? He ain't in it. That's the way with
our competitor, h-e a-i-n-t i-n i-t. Then again, note he
signs his namo and adds "wrecker of high prices." Now,
who is the wrecker of high prices? Is it not a fact that
when we enmo to town two years ago last August we
knocked tho bottom out of prices, and have kept on
slashing them ever since, hence our success. Tho idea
of a little one-horee shebang striking the town some
two years later and after a fow weeks making a big fuss
and hurrah and claiming all tho glory and honor of be
ing the leading and only one that put tho prices down.
We are hore, and hero to stay, and tho people
know that they run no risk in buying an article of us,
as our would-be competitor would have you believe that
you do, but should an article prove not worth the value
paid for it, wo make it right. Now about tho auction.
We do buy goods at auction when it is a nice clean
stock, and lots of them, too, and are proud to acknowl
edge it, for thiB and this alono is tho reason that we can
undersell all. This is what hurts our competitors, but
it is what makes the consumers happy. So this is why
the competitors are down on us and the reason the con
sumers are with us. Ard this is what wo like, as it is
tho consumers we are trying to pleaso.
Some weeks ago you no doubt read of tho failure of
the James H. Walker wholesale house, one of tho largest
t in the world. On the 7th of this month SG50,C00 worth
of dry goods was put on salo to bo sold to tho highest
bidder. Our buyer is there, has been there all the time,
picking up bargains. They will bo put on salo in this
5L. city. Now won't these goods bo all right, or aro they
not good because they Vero bought at auction? Watch
us, call on us, trade with us. We will make it an object
gE to you.

habitants butchered and scattered. The
once thriving town of Tekiviama, which
a few months ago had 3,000 inhabitants,
is now a scene ot aesoiation. aii tne
nouses are in ashes and the headles3 and
mutilated trunks of men, women and
children are lying heaped amid the ruins.
The stench arising from these mounds of
decaying flesh was horrible. The routo
taken by tho Sofas was marked by simi
lar evidences of wanton massacres and
destruction. The absence of bodies of
young men and women indicated that
they were spared only to he sold into
slavery. Colonel Ellis liberated hun-
-dreds of slaves.
New York's Bench Show.
New York, Feb. 20. Upward of
1,500 dogs are engaged in having their
day at Madison Square garden and going
about it in an intelligent, enthusiastic,
appreciative way, such as dogs alone are
capable of. It begins to look as though
the bench show were to rival the horse
show in popular favor, as the building
was crowded jpith spectators, the major
ity of which comprised tho swelldom. It
eclipses all similar shows held at Madi
son Sqnare garden this year, the number
of entries far exceeding that of any prer
vions display of the club.

fined to the irrigation phase in its bearing
upon the future prosperity of the large
area involved. The claim is madn that
the greater portion of the state of Ne
braska is oblivious of the great necessi
ties of the semi-arid portion of the state,
that as a whole there is no sympathy
with the irrigation idea in the notralons
sections of the state, and that the west
ern end of the state is left entirely to its
own resources to work outite salvation
as best it can. There are many protec
tive features to the Wyoming statutes,
and the advocates of this plan urge it on
the ground that the interests of this sec
tion of Nebraska are identical with those
of Wyoming. Theyclaim that from the
Hill's former friends that it is a bad job
and that a small amount will be realized
by the creditors. Cashier Hill is being
criticised severely on all hands. Hill is
now in charge of the land office at Huron,
having been placed in office on assur
ances that his connection with the bank
failure at Miller was perfectly straight.
