His spe cialty is a "retiring act." and It gives him his name, "Mr. Goodnight” He appeared for the act in checked trou sers, dark Jacket, hoots on his hind feet and a straw hat. These he re moved leisurely and sat down in an arm chair to remove his hoots. He then left the ring and wheeled in his big bedstead by pushing it along with his head. One by one his bedclothes followed, and with a little help from the attendants, he carefully put the bolster and pillows in place. Ke then brought a light, but es ie raced about the ring, it went out, and he prompt ly brought another, and lighted the candle by his bed. After putting out the torch by kneeling down and knock ing it on the sawdust he laid down to rest, pulled the quilt over him and pre tended to be asleep. Bulletin* That Attract.

NEBRASKA INLINE Indications That It Will Give Its Vote to McKinley. Public Sentiment Steadily OkMfiifi Abuse of Executire Authority. Omaha, Sept. 10.—At a pace that evinces deliberation and sober thought Nebraska is making its way toward the Republican column. It is no idle assertion to say that at this very time Nebraska is a doubtful state, with sentiment steadily change ing in favor of the Republicans, in that degree as to Justify the assertion that it will give its electoral vote to McKin ley. The efTort of the fusion campaign managers to stem the tide by trying to meet the logic of events with bug aboos and vagaries is falling far short of accomplishing its purpose. In the first place, the people of Ne braska are too Intelligent to be duped in any such way. They know that the cry of “imperialism” and “militarism” Is only a scheme to divert attention from the real issues. They know that it is Intended for no other purpese-ttam to keep them from thinking of the ter rible distress of four years ago, and from comparing the philosophy and prophecy of the "boy orator” in 1896, as to what terrible things would hap pen If McKinley was elected, with what really has happened. Knowing this, the people are turning their backs upon bugaboos and are giving prob lems associated with their domestic af fairs careful consideration. The people are asking themselves what guarantee have they, if Bryan is elected, that the terrible Industrial and commercial distress of four years ago will not return? They are asking themselves why they should desert a wise leader and sound policy—a policy that has brought good prices for all farm products, that has closed the free soup house and opened the factories to ten million la boring people—for an unwise leader and an unsound policy that, every time it haB been tested and applied, has precipitated a financial and industrial crisis, has stilled the hand of labor and extinguished the fires ,in nearly every factory. They are asking themselves why they should reject that which has been proven to be for their best interest for that which history proves to be weighted down with injury and dan ger. There was a time when many of the people of Nebraska permitted others to think for them. They were too busy with their own personal affairs, or too confiding, to devote attention to polit ical problems. For that reason many honestly believed in the vagaries of Bryan in 1896. They accepted what he said as gospel truth without stop ping to consider for a moment. It is different today. They have learned to the contrary in the school of experience. They have been taught to think for themselves, and, in doing this, they have discovered to what ex tent their confidence has been imposed upon. They have discovered that not one of Bryan’s predictions of 1896 has come true. That he was wrong in each and every instance. He told them McKinley’s election would visit upon the country inconceivable disas ter. He told them that just so sure ns McKinley was elected this country would be visited by such suffering and distress as it had never before known. Results have demonstrated that itu. to say the least, was a vicious and shameful imposition on public credul ity. NOTHING TO GAIN. The people of Nebraska know by this time that they have nothing to gain by voting for the Bryan electoral ticket. They know full well that es tablished policies of government are in such close sympathy with industrial j conditions that they cannot be dis turbed without causing unrest, and they know further, that to substitute policies that are a tax on enterprise and energy for policies that are stimu? lative means to do that which sober reason holds to be inimical to the pub lic weal. ii is vasuy more important to tne voters of Nebraska that there shall be good markets and good prices for farm products, that labor shall be employed, that the money of the nation shall be free fi'om spurious contamination and shall be the very best, that money may be had at a low rate of interest as a stimulant of Industry and as a relief to the debtor, than that the Philip pines shall be turned over to Aguin aldo’s tribal government. Concerned as all patriotic Americans are in the proper solution of the Phil ippine problem, the first and foremost thing to be considered is the welfare of the American people at home, espe cially since the McKinley administra tion has demonstrated its ability and intention to adjudicate the Philippine question along that line most consist ent with American customs and tra ditions. There is no danger, as regards the Philippines. That problem will be properly solved. The great danger that confronts the American people is free trade, spurious money and consequent low prices, idle labor and hard times. ON A JUNKET. Attorney General Smyth is off on an other “trust-smashing” expedition. Why fee had to put the state of Ne braska to the expense of a junket to New York with no possible objective point, other than to achieve partisan notoriety, iff a question difficult of so* lutlon. Thus far he has accomplished nothing, nor Is he likely to, but on the other hand has added a few more fig ures to the enormous amount ex pended by bis department in one way and another the last two years. No other attorney general ever made more grand stand plays for political effect and no other was ever less successful No attorney general ever gave the peo ple such 6mall returns on the money expended. From first to last it has been a play to the galleries, with the result that much money has been ex ponded and very little if anything ac complished. If Attorney General Smyth really intended to drive trusts into exile he would hardly indulge in the profitless practice of chasing phan toms about the country when he has any amount of material to work on right within the limits of his home community. It may be enjoyable sport for him, but it is rather expensive sport to the tax payers, who will have to go down into their pockets and pay the bills. ATTESTED PROSPERITY. Reports from the various towns and Cities throughout Nebraska, bearing on the financial condition of the peo ple, go to Indicate that there has been a substantial Increase in the earnings and savings of the people the last four years. Of the many reports received not one shows a decrease in the amount of money deposited. All show a substantial increase. Four years ago money was a scarce article and the borrower, even on the best collateral, found it difficult to negotiate a loan. Today money is abundant, and, what is more significant, much of the money being loaned out, is, not the money of eastern capitalists as formerly, but money deposited by and belonging to the people of Nebraska. More than 530,000,000 is money belonging to peo ple of Nebraska. Nearly 50 per cent of the mortgages held against Nebras ka collateral is held by Nebraska peo ple. In the last four years the people of Nebraska have increased their bank deposits by more than $30,000,000, while the amount that has gone into new homes, new farms, new enter prises and new industries, is fully twice as large. The prosperity of the business man, of the farmer and of the laborer, is abundantly attested by these figures. INVADED THE ASYLUM. Since it has been discovered that the editor of the Des Moines Globe, a paper from which the fusion organs have been gathering campaign mate rial as a result of its incendiary utter ances on imperialism, was formerly an inmate of an asylum for the insane, the fusion editors have with a display of reluctance deserted him, and they now find themselves subjected to the humiliation of having quoted as au thority the irrational, irrelevant and insane opinions of an insane mind. The Omaha World-Herald, which has devoted column after column of space to the reproduction of the edi torials of this poor unfortunate, after having learned that he was at one time an inmate of an asylum for the insane, and after knowing that his mental faculties have hot as yet re covered their equilibrium, still persists in palming off his spurious opinions upon its readers. Other fusion papers have discovered their mistake and quit it. The World-Herald alone still keeps at it, presumably because it had given up more space to the reproduction of his articles and was therefore all the more sadly taken in. Its readers, how ever, will hardly fail to hold it to ac count, even though partisan, for per sisting in filling its columns with the distorted conceptions of a disordered brain. It is no doubt the concensus of opinion that the fusion editors are abundantly able to distort facts, even to that extent as to reflect Insanity, without going into partnership with a person admittedly insane. It is safe to assume, though having discovered that the author of these ar ticles which they have been palming off on their readers is irresponsible by reason of a disordered mentality, not one of the fusion editors will have the manhood to apologize to the public or to acknowledge the mistake. In attempting by this ruse to fore shadow the policy of the Republican party the Fusion editors are less con siderate than humanity generally, for it Is a well established principle of j ethical jurisprudence that no one of i unsound mind shall be held accounta ble for his words or deeds. In this in stance, however, not alone do they af fect to hold the lunatic accountable, but they persist in holding the Repub lican party accountable along with him. It is a flagrant imposition upon the Dublic. nothimr more. A VULNERABLE PRACTICE. The custom or practice which per mits officials to sell public property and not make a proper accounting of the funds to the treasurer and auditor is a vulnerable one at best. Surround ed by every safeguard possible it nev ertheless affords an opportunity for the dishonest and designing official to rob the taxpayers. In the reports that have been pub lished from time to time, concerning the management of the state institu tions the last two years, evidence of this character stands out prominently. In more than one instance it has been discovered that property has been sold and the money misappropriated. Some of Governor Poyuter’s appointees have not been slow to make use of this op portunity to replenish their exchequer. Just to what extent this practice has been carried Is not as yet fully known, though there is evidence that much money has been diverted from the proper channel in this way. This custom or practice has been In vogue for some time, yet it is a most expensive one to the taxpayers. SPLIT RAIL8 WITH LINCOLN. South Dakota Hu Recalls Association with "Honest Abe." He split rails with Lincoln; that it the one claim old Thomas Thompson, of Lyman county, South Dakota, layc to anything like distinction. But he if Immensely proud of that, says the Min neapolis Journal. Thompson’s one vote helped make Lincoln president One episode in particular won him as a voter, if he needed any winning by the friend be had known in a humbly admiring way for years. It was when "Abe” was home from Springfield, where he had become a prominent practicing attorney. Thompson was helping hiB father and Borne neighbors to make rails when Lincoln appeared. Old Tom says he "liked Abe on the spot—you could not help it It did a feller a lot of good to shake hands with him and look into his kind, good natured face. He gave ye such a hearty grip o’ the hand that ye liked it. Some one asked Abe, says he, 'I s’pose yev forgotten how to handle’n axe.’ ‘Well, let’s see,’ says Abe, and he picked up an ax. The way he picked it up meant a whole lot, and the way he peeled off his coat and vest meant a whole lot more. First he hefted the ax to get its balance, and then went at a log that was lyin’ near. We fellers all stopped to watch him, but he didn’t mind. Chuck, chuck, he sent the axe into the log with his long, powerful arms, and with a few licks had that log crackin’ and snappln’ and splittin’ until it lay in halves. Then he Quartered it and eighted it and so on without restin’ a bit until a clean, nice pile of rails lay where the log had been. Then he quit, sayin’: ‘Well, boys, I guess I ain’t lost the hang o’ it yet.’ Well, it was such things that made every one like Abe; he wan’t stuck up a mite. He was a good man.” And there were tears in the old man’s eyes when he finished his recital. HUSBAND TURNS UP After His Wife Had Collected life In surance and Kemarried. Gloucester (Mass.) cor. St. Louis Republic: The appearance here of W. A. Ragland, of Little Rock, Ark., with the news that Howard A. Saville, who disappeared 16 years ago, is still alive, has created a sensation here. Mrs. Saville had collected his life in surance, married again to Benjamin Kinsman, of Gloucester, and separated *rom her second husband. Saville, who was reported to have died in St. Louis of cancer, is also said to have married again and become the posses sor of considerable property. In the meantime the four sons and one daughter of Howard Saville have grown up. One son, Prof. Marshall Saville, of New York, recently made his name famous hy his discoveries of rare antiquities in Mexico. Mr. Sa ville, if living, would be heir to a portion of an estate of the late S. Oliver Brown, and it is to gain infor mation concerning this that Mr. Rag land, according to his statement, is here. He further states that he wishes to establish Mr. Saville’s identity in order that the latter may come Into some money in a New York bank, to which, it is claimed, he is an heir. Mr. Ragland was identified at the Cape Ann Savings bank as one of the larger brokers in Little Rock. He says that Mr. Saville has been living in or near Little Rock for the past 14 years. Rela tives offer an explanation for the pos sible existence of a legacy in New York, the tale of Mr. Saville’s great grandfather, who was captured by pirates, and, after a long service of slavery, returned to this country to find his wife married again. He then went to South Carolina and accumu lated a fortune. The share of the es tate to which Howard Saville is en titled will amount to $5,000. Trials of Paris. Nobody who may be thinking of stopping in peace at the Grand Hotel, in Paris, should ask the maltre d’hotel about the American woman who spoke French with the aid of a dictionary, says the Chicago News. Although there was no need of it, as they all spoke English, she persisted in firing off Orlendorflan French at the waiters every moment. One sad-eyed knight of the apron came down one morning and asked for leave of Absence, and the maitre d’hotel himself went up to solve the mystery. After a violent tirade against the incivility of the garcon she declared that his French was so frayed out at the edges that he did not understand what “a bottle of embonpoint” was. And it took the manager 20 minutes to discover that ehe had intended to ask for stout. Car* of Jewelry. Jewelry hardly comes in as bric-a brac, but It often is Injured by care lessness in handling and cleaning. Washing and brushing with jewelers’ soap and water is, as a rule, enough, and may be done where stones are clear set. When they are backed with foil, water must not be used or the foil, after having been wet once, will be clouded over and cease to be of any use. Occasionally gold and silver arti cles become much tarnished from con tact with vulcanized rubber, which cantains a large proportion of sulphur. Precipitated chalk, carefully sifted through two thicknesses of muslin and mixed with spirit and water, makes an excellent paste in such cases. City O pa rate* Nanny. The little city of Orea, in Sweden, owns and operates a nursery that brings it an annual income of $160,000, a sum that pays all the expenses of the municipality, including free schools for the children and a free telephone system for the people.
