A few more exposures of llic "Greater American Exposition" by the Omaha I3cc and we will be ready to believe tliat nosclf-rcBpcct-inf person will pay the fifty-cent admission fee. An honest office holder will court an honest investigation of his of ficial acts, rather than refuse an in vestigation. If the "reform" of ficials have been doing business on the "Bquarc" they will not object to throwing their offices and records open to the committee appointed by the last legislature. If they refuse to give the committee the informa tion which they have a right to demand, the "reformers" must naturally be branded dishonest. Thk O'Neill Frontier says that "of the eighteen free Bilvcr men be longing to Company M, Third reg iment, sixteen returned home re publicans. The boys found that the American dollar in Cuba was worth thirty cents more than the big Spanish dollar. Mr. Uryan Rhould have accompanied the reg iment and received a few practical lessons in finance." This j tiic hind of 10 to 1 there is some sense in 10 converted pops to .1 company, The committee appointed to in vestigate the state offices and the official conduct of the fusion state officials has unearthed sufficient rottenness to make a smell which readies out to the west part of the Htate, and as the work of the com mittee proceeds the stench will in crease. There is no question but that the "reform" slate officials have been guilty of pursuing dis lioneLt and dishonorable methods in conducting the businens of their respective offices, and it is only pro per that their acts should be held up to the uearchlight of publicity. AceoiintNf! to news from Wash ington, President McKinley is working energetically upon a plan to submit the question of indepen dence or annexation to the people of Cuba. He believes that they would vote for annexation. Reports from Governor General Urookc in dicate a contrary view, but the president has received coufidcutal letters from influential representa tives of commercial interests and fronj other sources in and about Havana which have convinced him that General Urookc is mistaken and that the people in the western portion of the island, as well aB those in the eastern portion, would gladly vote for a territorial govern ment under the greater republic. The democratic central commit tee of Douglas county haH turned down the fusion program, and a prominent member of the com mittee in speaking of the action said: "The time has at last come when we can no longer close our eyes to existing conditions. We as democrats arc fusing with the result that wc arc driving the brains and manhood of our party into the republican ranks. In Douglas county the fusion vote, outside the democratic party, is composed almost entirely of Borc heads whose entire concern in the triumph of the fusion is the getting into office. They threaten us with revolt if we do not give them at least two-thirds of the offices, though they have but a handful of votes in the county all told The tail has wagged the dog long enough. 1 think I am not in error when I say that the democrats of this county arc through with pop ulism. " The committee appointed by the la3t legislature to investigate the state offices began its work this week. The first investigation made was that of the recount commission which attempted in 18 to "countJ in" the amendment providing for an increase in the number of supreme judges of the state. Secre- tarj Porter refused to give to the investigating committee the tally sheets used by the recount com mittee, but the evidence of 10. L. Simons, who was employed to re count the ballots was secured. Sim ons testified that thousands of bal lots which were voted blank were marked by the recount committee so as to lavor the supreme court amendment, and that this crooked work was done under the supervision of Oil Inspector Kdmistcn and with the full knowledge of ex-governor Ilolcomb, then in the executive chair. The testimony of Simons was corroborated by Ole Ilcdlund, one of the clerks of.thc recount com- inifcsion, The evidence throughout showed that the work of the pop- ocrats was not only dishonorable but thoroughly dishonest; it was a bold attempt to thwart the will of the people as expressed at the polls and secure soft berths on the supreme bench for a couple pop ocrats. Some people, and especially some popocrats, have been a long time in finding out the true inwardness of the political character of Silas A. Ilolcomb late governor of Nebraska, and since his retirement from office have been learning those things that .were continually pointed out during ins campaign lor re-election in loVO. The Papilliou Times is one of these and speaking of his candidacy for supreme judge the Times states that it opposes him because he is not a true popocrat. The fact is that the record of Ilolcomb, begin ning at Ilrokeu How as a mortgage shark lawyer, his first nomination for district judge by a railroad cor poration, and his support by cor poration interests all the way through, have been lrequcntly pointed out and there is no reason why any person should be ignorant of these things. The discovery of the Times is not timely but it is all that is claimed for it.-Kearney Hub Additionai Local. Separator StaMono. D. P. Ashburn, who was one of the lecturers at the Farmers Insti tute held here several months ago, was a passenger on 'one of the sections of train No. 2 yesterday. Mr. Ashburn is now in the employ of the Nebraska Creauierv Coin pany which has its headquarters at Lincoln. The company has recently opened a creamer)' at Fremont and expects to establish separator stations all along the main line of tfie Union Pacific. The creamery at Lincoln is turning out a carload of butter per day and on that account is able to pay more for cream than any other company in the state as they ob tain a higher price for their butter when they are able to Mini out n carload o"f uniform quality. Mr. Ashburn expects to return here in a short time and canvass the country tributary to North Platte to sec it it will not be pos sible to put in a separator station here. The station is'btiilt by the farmers and operated by the com pany and the farmers are paid a per cent on the money invested. Cox-Mulr WoiltUnjf.

And yet there ought to be and can be n score of happy women to one who i.i unhappy. Those women whose lives arc saddened by the drains upon the system, by prolapsus, by Irregularities, by headache, nervousness and bearing-down pains, can be restored to happiness and hcnlth by Dr. Pierce's l'a vorite Prescription, a medicine that Is be yond question the best in the world for disorders of the womanly organs.

Secretary Wilson, of the State Hoard of Irrigation, and the board's stenographer, Miss Nellie Holland, were in town yesterdey taking test imony in water right controversies. The principle cases which were up were those of the Kquitable Farm & Stock Imp. Co.. and the Gothen burg Water Power Co. The case of the Equitable Co. concerns water rights in t he North River for the canal nearOslikosh which wbb com menced several years ago. The other controversy is between the Gothenburg Company and other Dawson county irrigation compan ies as to the priority of right. Sec ictary Wilson went on to Ogallala last night to take some testimony there, The New York Tribune says: One of the certainties ol the not distant future, in the opinion of Wall street, is the establishment of a transcontinental line under Van derbilt control. The Doston & Al bany, the New York Central and the West Shore arc the Vauderbilt lines linking Hoston and New York with HulTalo; and Httffulo is joined to Chicago by the Lake Shore, the Michigan Central and the Nickle Plate. The Chicago & Northwestern, which is practically a Vauderbilt road, stretches west ward trom Chicago to Omaha where it meets the Union Pacific, a con trolling interest in which the Van dcrbilts are credited with holding. From Ogden a branch of the O. S. L. goes southward to AVilford.Ftah from which place the Utah & Pacific is being built into California, it is reported, with a view to enabling bonnet nnd spark-ar: ester.

With these several roads within control, Wall street argues, it will not be beyond the power of Win. K.
