BEFTJSLICAN COMMITTEE MEETING.
The committeemen of the several
precincts of Lincoln county are re
spectfully requested to meet at the
court house in North Platte, Satur
day, May 23, 18, at one o'clock p.
m., to designate the time, and place
of holding the republican county
convention, to apportion the repre
sentation -to the several precincts,
and to transact such other business
as may properly come before the
committee. That a representative
meeting may by had a full attend
ance is desirable.
G. C. McAllister, Qhairman.
The Lexington Pioneer thinks
the populist nomination for con
gressraan in this district lies be
tween Green, Edministen, and
Kern. JHow about Judge Neville of
North Platte?
Congressman Meiklejohn has
returned from Washington and will
make an active canvass for the
srubernatorial nomination. The
Meiklejohn boom will probably be
largely in evidence from now until
July 1st.
A hungry populist patriot is
said to be hankering for the janitor
ship of the court house, and wants
honest, old Lu Baker promptly
fired." Mr Baker attends strictly
to businass and is an efficient jani
tor, out nis popuiistic innuence is
not sufficient to suit the pop "gang.'
Among those mentioned as prob
able candidates for the republican
nomination for county commission
er are James Robbins of Wallace.
Cecil Tuell of Sumerset, A. C. Barry
ot Buchanan and John Keith of
O'Fallon. Either of these gentle
men would make a rattling good
commissioner.
Senator Tillman seems to be
of the opinion that there is tco
much fizz to the pop party and not
sufficient essence, hence he cannot
ioin that partv under anv circum-
stances. Any casual observer will
acknowledge that nine-tenths of
the populist doctrine is fizz and the
other tenth fuss.
Several papers in the eastern
part of-the state intimate that if
Jack MacColl is nominated for gov
ernor the triends oi Tom Majors
will knife him. This is only a
bluff; the nominee of the convention
will receive the full vote of the re
publican parry of the state whether
it be MacColl, Meiklejohn, Moore
or Adams. No knives will be
sheathed this year.

According to fire statistics in
this country gasoline has caused in
the last eighteen months the de
struction of no less than 4445 build
ings, valued at $5,000,00C. The re
cords of the Cincinnati "Fire De
partment show that 10 per cent of
the fires there are due to gasoline
or coal oil. A few years ago four
teen girls were burned to death in
a Cincinnati factory by a sudden
gasoline conflagration. Thus the
two worst fire calamities in that
city were the result of the leakage
of gasoline vapor.
WHY THEY WANT HcKENXEY.
TJtica, N. Y., May 1. The male
employes of the Globe woolen
mills, which employs about 600
hands, have signed a petition re-
questing tne twenty-nttli district
elegates to the national conven
tion to cast their votes for McKm-
ley.
It is not at all stransre that these
woolen-mill employes want McKin-
ley. He represents to them the
greatest prosperity thev ever

knew. Under the McKinley bill
the woolen iudustry flourished in
this country as it never did before.
Under the present Wilson bill it

growing beyond all precedent
is
is
in
Manchester and Bradford, Eng
land. The Massachusetts Bureau of
Statistics has just made a report
on the industry in that state that
shows a condition which prevails
alike in New York and elsewhere.
Nearly one-fourth of the- woolen
manufacturing of the country is
done in Massachusetts.
According to this report, under
the McKinley bill (1890 to 1892)
prior to democratic victory, 140 es
tablishments increased their out
put by $4,500,000 in 1892 over 1890.
In the year 1894, two years after
democratic victory, twenty-seven of
these mills were idle and the total
output was $13,400,000 less than in
1892.
In 1892 the average number of
hands employed was 18,199, while
in 1894 the average was 14,261.
In 1892 the total wages paid was
$7,061,211; in 1894 the total was $4,
887,984.
In 1890 the average yearly earn
ings for all hands was $369. In ,
1892 it had risen under the McKin
ley bill to $388 and in 1894 the aver
age had dropped to $343, as a result
of democratic legislation. .
In 1892 we imported. $12,939,000
worth of woolen cloths. In 1895 we
imported $25,281,668 worth-.
In 1892 we imported $16,630,371
worth of woolen dress goods. In
1895 we imported $22,549,485.
In 1892 Great Britain- sent to the
United States woolen goods valued
at $13,678,935 and from August '94
to August '95 she sent $23,846,101
worth.- This accounts for the high
esteem in which Mr. Wilson is held
in England and -why he was so
royally banquetted over there on
bis last visit.
With pur woolen mills closing
down, with the rate of wages ma
terially reduced, and with the Brit
ish business increasing is it any
wonder the employes of the Globe
woolen mill at Utica are anxious to
have their delegates to St. Louis
support McKinley? Fremont Tribune.
Jackals Are Cautious.
SirE. Tennont, Iho writer of "Natural
History of Ceylon," says: "At dusk and
aftor nightfall a pack of jackals, .having
watched a Iiarc or n small deer tako refuge
In one of those retreats, immediately sur
rounded ib on all sides, and having sta
tioned a few to watch the path by which
the game entered the leader commonced
the attack by raising the cry peculiar to
his race, and which resembles the sound
'okkay,' loudly and rapidly Tepeated. The
whole party then rush into the junglo and
drivo out tho victim, which generally falls
into tho ambush previously laid to en
trap it.
"A native gentleman who had favora
ble opportunities of observing the movo
monts of these animals informed mo that
when a jackal has brought down his gamo
and killed it his first impulse is to hide ib
in tho nearest jungle, whence ho issues
with an air of easy indifference to observe
if anything more poworful than himself
may bo at hand from which ho might on
counter tho risk of being dospoiled of his
capture. If the coast is clear, ho returns
to tho concealed carcass and carries it
away, followed by his companions. Bub
if a man be in sight or any other animal
to bo avoided, my informant has seen the
jackal seize a cocoanut husk in his mouth
or any similar substance and fly at full
speed, as if eager to carry off his protended
prize, returning for tho real booty at some
more convenient season."
An English Libel on Americans.
A dealer in gloves and gontlomen's fine
furnishings, whose shop is in the Grand
Hotol building, Charing Cross, grew qnite
communicative in a half hour's conversa
tion. Eo expressed great admiration for
America and the achievements of Anion
cans, but he said that he thought that
Americans were showy and shallow and
not thorough and genuine. "Americans
will come hero and buy olegant neckwear
and fine gloves. Everything that is to be
seen must look well, but when it comes to
buying underwear or things that are not
soon nino out of ovory ten Americans don't
care what they havo. They do not wont

had Americans worth their millions come
in and pay good prices for fine externals
who want a lower grade of such wearing
apparel as is not seen than I keep. I do
not understand this. Thoy are a great pco-
plo, and they can do more than we can,
but I think that thoy are pretentious and
showy rather than substantial and gen
uine. You have not developed gentlemen
in your country. Now and thon I see an
American gentleman, and, whon I do, I
seo more of a lord than our dukes, but the

Mr. Clatterby Crawls.
After tho usual periodical blast against
the wild extravagance with which Mrs.
Clatterby manages tho household affairs,
tho burning of two bundles of wood whero
ono would do, and so on, Mr. Clatterby
winds up with:
"I'd just like to havo tho running of

CHAPTER IV.
And now, having led the eager stu
dent up to the year 827 A. D., let us
take liim forward from the foundation
of the English monarchy to the days of
William the Conqueror, 10GG.
Egbert, oue of tho Mng3 of Wessex,
reigned practically over Roman Britain
wheu the country was invaded by the
Northmen (Swedes, Norwegians and
Danes), who treated the Anglo-Saxon
as the Anglo-Saxon had formerly treat
ed the poor Britain.
These Northmen were rather (Joarse
people and even put the Anglo-Saxons
to the blush sometimes. They exercised
vigorously, and thus their appetites
were sharp enough to cut a hair. They
at first came in the capacity of pirates,
sliding stealthily into isolated coast set
tlements on Saturday evening and eat
ing up the Sunday victuals, capturing
the girls of tho Bible class and sailing
away. But later they came as conquer
ors and boarded with the peasantry per
manently. Egbert formed an alliance with his
old enemies, the "Welsh, and gained a
great victory over the Northmen, but
when he died and left Ethelwolf, his
son, in charge of the throne, he made a
great mistake. Ethelwolf was a poor
king, "being given more to religious
exercises than reigning," says the his
torian. He would often exhibit his piety
in order to draw attention away from
his royal incompetency. He was not the
first or last to smother the call to duty

He did not have a boiler big enough to

Ethelwolf defeated tho enemy in cue
great battle, but too late to prevent a
hold up upon the island cf Thanet and
afterward at Shippey, near London,
where the enemy settled himself.
Yet Ethelwolf made a pilgrimage to
Rome with Alfred, then 6 years old (A.
D. 855). Ho was gone a year, during
which time very little re-gning was
done at home, and tho Northmen kept
making treaties and coming over in
larger droves.
Ethelwolf visited Charles the Bald of
Prance at this time and married his
daughter Judith incidentally. Ethel
wolf 's eldest son died during the long's
absence and was succeeded as eldest son
by Ethelbald (heir apparent, though he
had no hair apparent), who did not rec
ognize the old gentleman or allow him
to bo seated on his own. throne wThen ho
came back, but hjthelwoli gave tho
naughty Ethelbald the western half of
the kingdom rather than have trouble.
But Baldy died and was succeeded by
Ethelbert, who died six years later, and
Ethelred, in 86G, took charge till 871,
when he died of a wound received in
battle and closed out the Ethel business
to Alfred.
The Danes had meantime rifled the
country with their crossguns and killed
Edmund, the good king of East Anglia,
who was afterward canonized, though
gunpowder had not then been invented.
Alfred was not onlv a codly kins-, but
had a good education and was a great
admirer of Dickens and Thackeray.

on the Danes. Of course he had to live
roughly and must deny himself his up
right piano for his country's good.
In order to obtain a more thorough
knowledge of the Danes and their num
ber, he distinguished himself as a harper
or portable orchestra and visited the
Danish camp, where he was introduced
to Guthrun and was invited to a ban
quet, where he told several now anec
dotes and spoke in such a humorous
way that the army was sorry to see him
go away and still sorrier when, a few
days later, armed cap-a-pie, he mopped
up the greensward with his enemy and
secured the best cf terms from him.
While incog. Alfred stopped at a hut,
where he was asked to turn the pan-'
cakes as they required it, but in the ab
sence of the hostess he got to thinking
of esoteric subjects, or something pro
found, and allowed the cakes to burn.
Tho housewife returned in time to ex
press her sentiments and a large box to
his address.
Ho new converted Guthrun and had
him immersed, which took first rate,
and other Danes got immersed. Thus
the national antagonism to water was
overcome, and today the English who
are descended from the Danes are not
appalled at tho sight of water.
As a result cf Guthrun's conversion
the Danes agreed to a permanent settle
ment along the exposed portion of Great
Britain, by which they became uncon
sciously a living rampart between the
Saxons and other incursionists.
Now peace began to reign up to 893,
and Alfred improved the time by re
building the desolated cities London

behold. A, new stcck law, requiring
the peasantry to shut up their unicorns
during certain seasons of the year and
keep them out of the crops, also protect

CROWNED AT OLYMPIA.
Honors Paid to. tho Victors In the Grecian
Athletic Contests.
Immediately after each contest the
successful athlete appeared before tho
judges and received a palm branch, and
his name was heralded before the as
sembled throng. But at tho closo of all
tho contests, on the final day cf the fes
tival, tho much coveted prises were dis
tributed. Into "tho altis at early morn
ing streamed tho long, joyous procession,
headed by tho judges, tho religious and
civil authorities, and the public guests,
escorting tho now brilliantly clad ath
letes and victorious horses bedecked with
flowers. The song they sang was a song
of victory by Archilochus, which began:
"Hail to thee, powerful Hercules, con
queror in the games, and to thee also,
Iolaus, both famed fcr the spear 1 Te
nella, tenellal All hail to the victor!"
A little boy from tho priestly class
had already cut with a golden knifo
some branches from tho olive tree plant
ed by Hercules, and crowns made from
these branches had been exposed in tho
temple of Hera upon a beautiful chrysr
elephantine table made by Cojotes. The
crowns were then brought to the temple
of Zeus, where, before the represents
tives cf all Greece, the judges, clad in
purple, crowned the heads of the victorir
ous athletes. This Olympic crown, as
tho supreme reward of Greek ambition,
is well expressed in the story of Diag
oras. Himself a victqr in tho games, he
returned in his old ago to Olympiawith
his two sons. Both bore off a prize, and
then ran and caught their father cn.
their shoulders as the crowd of pilgrims
pelted them with flowers. ' 'Die, Diag
oras," they cried, "forthcu hast noth
ing moro to livo for!" With a sigh of
joy tho old man expired.
The crowning of Olympia did not end
the victors' clory. Their statues wore
made by the most famous sculptors, their
portraits painted by the most skillful
artists, their deeds glorified in verse.
They were feasted and maintained at
public expense, received seats of honor
at tho theater and wero cherished as
gods in the hearts of their countrymen.
