M r i: M n THE NEBRASKA ADVERTISER ii W. W. BANDICUS, 1'nblUher. KEJ.LA.nA, - - NEBRASKA. TOPICS OP THE DAY. IV h it lliiHy l'lucc. Wo hIiiiII have to go into the gulf of Mexico with u Hhovol in one hand unci a rifle in the other. It's getting 1o be u busy place since we started 1hc cunnl. One Consolation. ' 1 One gleiini, mid the only one, of consolation in those wretched Ken tucky feuds is that they drive a lot of Unit-rate Kcnlueklniin into other ntutcH which profit by It. How lllloy Ilcut tin; Tax I.iiw. In order to evade the Inheritance lux law, William Illley, of Medforcl, N. .7., put $15,000 in each of four envcl opeH and directed that at his death one envelope be handed to each of lite four children. This was done. Plenty of Other Poutry. School teachers at Seltuate, Mass., have expurgated Kipling's poetry In order to rid it of its profanity so that jnipilH may recite it. The trouble might bo more until ly obviated by not reciting it. There is plenty of other poetry. Oiio Oltntiiclu Iluinovcil. Mm. Cleveland dlHtinetly denies that she wild alio hoped Mr. Cleve land would not be nominated or re elected, or that she has expressed a dislike for life In the white house. Mr. Cleveland adds that he can recall no such domestic remark. Ailnm Wiih tin; Heal Tiling. Now another doubter has thrown reflections upon the existence of Adam. Yet there is the strongest Wnd of circumstantial evidence that Adam existed and was a real man. As soon as he got into trouble he blamed it all on the woman. Further Hliicltliitlon Ncodoil. Mr. lloosovelt, in a characteristic maxim has laid down the rule that promises made on the stump should be kept just as much as any other promises. The president should now show how the campaign orator is to observe this rule ami remain in the business. Great on Sedative. The assurance that Senator Alli son will write the platform for the republicans of Iowa will prove a po litical sedative of unquestionable ef ficacy, it is reminiscent of the re mark of the late J. ,7. Ingalls that "Allison can walk, over a tin roof with hobnailed shoes and make less noise than a cat on a moquette car pet." She nilKht Try .Solitude. Youth and its fresh vitality are not proof against the modern ailliction which, the Washington dispatches in from us, has seized upon Miss Alice Itoosevelt after an unrelenting and remorseless social season not less trying than the vicissitudes encoun tered by her almost indefatigable father. Mr. Roosevelt has sought re lief by waving us, thu people, adieu ..occasionally and disappearing into the wilderness, but Miss Alice has not i profited entirely by the system of her parent. HiiiiilllittliiK:, Hut Seunlhle. ' In declining to make an aggressfve campaign in Somnliland, the llritish government is making a humiliating confession, but it is acting a sensi ble part. Tho territory involved would not at present bo of much value to England. In order to get control of it now she would need to send ninny thousands of soldiers there, under her best commanders, and this would involve ninny battles, tho loss of perhaps thousands of Jives, and thu expenditure of tens of millions of dollars. The Doubtful Mr. .Tenklun. Chairman Jenkins, of tho house judiciary committee, does not think much of the "trust-busting" features of the act creating thu department of commerce. In an interview he nays the trusts will resent the pub licity provisions of that, act and un dertake to withhold from Mr. Gar field's bureau of tho new depart ment tho details of their business. lie even contends that the federal government has no power to place any restrictions whatsoever upon in terstate commerce. A Prunlc Proclamation. ' In his Fast day proclamation the governor of Maine said: "Wholly contrary to good sense and n spite of my own convictions, I do now ap point a Fast day, hoping nobody will observe It, feeling sure that it is a 'mockery and a farce, and wishing 'with all my heart that it might be abolished and thus enable me to keep a clean conscience." Tho good old Puritan day has certainly t alien far from its ancient honor and respect when tho governor feels imptllod to peak of it in such terms. VOTES CAME HIGH. 3t.

"Defendant." It is a common and natural practice of lawyers in addressing a jury to single out one member who seems to them the most intelligent, and to deliver their appeals to him. They usually feel that if they can impress- him, hi influence will be valuable in its effect upon the other members. If they make a mistake they rarely discover it, says the New York Sun. Hut th stenographer of one division of the supreme court tells an incident of a mistake that was found out. All the testimony in a case had been taken, the lawyer for both idc had summed up, ami the judge had charged, the jury, when up rose the intelligent juror whom both counsel had singled out as the recipient of their impassioned appeals. He wanted the court to give him some in formation. ' "I have been bothered a good deal," said the juror, "about two words the lawyer use here all the time." "What arc they?" nsked the court, ex pecting to be called upon to expound re inter alios acta or a fortiori, or some other dead terms. "Why,- 'plaintiff' and 'defendant,' " said the juror. "I don't just know what they mean." Shnke Into Your Shops Allen's Foot-Ease. It cure painful, rwollen, smarting, sweating feet. Makes new shoes easy. Sold by all Druggists and Shoe Stores.
