After six years the republicans aro again in con trol of both houses. A United States senator will be elected and a host of other good things should be done. No matter what your politics, ou will want to read about the legislature. No mat ter what paper you read at other times you should read the Lincoln State Jour nal during the legislature. It is printed at the state, capital and devotes more space to legislative doings than all the other stato dailies combined. The Jour nal has jumped away up in the lead, having the largest circulation in Ne braska. It is spending more mouoy for news than its competitors. Col. Bixby is its daily poet. It also has Walt Mason. Wm. E. Annin, its Washington correspondent, serves up Washington stuff as no other correspondent employed by Nebraska papers has ever done it Annin knows Nebraska people and No braska politicians like a book; his letters are a great feature. Stories are fur nished by Conan Doyle, Rndyard Ki . ling,and a host of others who are regular contributors to tho world's groatest magazines. Tho Journal's price has been cut to 50 .cents per month, without Sunday, and 65 cents with Sunday. You should try it awhile. The Semi-Weekly Journal is only 31.00 per year, and is a great family paper, almost as good as a daily for a large class of people The Journal's phenomenal growth is duo largely to the reduction in price Jind the po!icy of attending to its own busmesr, not presuming to bo a dictator.

While it would be expensive to send ag-ents to the farms every spring- to collect data concerning yields, stocks and general conditions, such re ports would be of real service to the farming and commercial classes and would undoubtedly be worth their cost. There has been entirdy too much imagination in the reports of the agricultural department in the past, and the introduction of scientific methods would be an un mixed blessing to the country. Ex.

The railway companies have apparently not gone any further than was necessary to make a case in accord ance with their desires', and have been strongly accused of suppressing farts which would materially Weaken their position.

"There was no reason, whatever," he said, why I should have left. I have a nice home at West Union, a kind, lov ing wife and one child, and no man's domestic relations were happier than mtne have always been, The only Wriy 1 account for the uneasiness is that my letter failed to reach my wife. It seems strange, though, that no one of the many people I met did not say something to me about the inquiries that were made for me. I made no concealment of my name or place of residence. I called upon Mr. Matthews, Mr. Taggart and Mr. Bynum, having served with the latter in congress, and none of them mentioned the fact that my absence from home had caused and comment In any ot the papers" Oelwein, la., Dec. 31.

' Annual Neir Tear's Revel on the Chicago Board of Trad. Chicago, Dec. 31. The annual New Year's revel on the board of trade was observed today with unusual enthusiasm. The market waa neglected during the last hour and at the tap of the bell at noon every trader on the floor was long on Racks of flour and short on dignity The galleries were crowded with people who had come to see the fun and the per formance wa3 fully up to expectations. When the market closed the ball opened. The festivities began with a series of bloodcurdling yells and a vivid imita tion of the ghost dance. A short, fat trader with a high silk hat, who was leading the vocal exercises, was sudden ly cut short in his musical flights by the swift descent of a bursting sack of flour With the Bignal every man on the floor entered energetically into the attempt to pound every other man with a sack of flour. Hats were battered and hurled toward the ceiling; coats were torn, men were upset and for half an hour a merry war was waged in a mist of flying flour. When the stock of flour was exhausted the sample tables were robbed of barley, oat3 and corn and the air was full of flying missiles until the exhaustion ended the fun. When it was over the pit looked as though it had been struck by a blizzard and the traders resembled a choice collection of tramps. Visible Supply or Grain. New York, Dec. 31.
