A Big Cut in The Price.
The Nebraska State Journal has re
duced its prices to sudscribers outside
of Lincoln and sudurbs from $7.50 to
$5.00 per year, including the big Sun
day paper, or $4.00 per year without
Sunday. The price of the Sunday
issue will be $1.50 per year.
By this action it is presenting its
state readers with thousands of
dollars, but the result will be thou
sands of new subscribers, thus enlarg
ing its usefulness and abbing to its
value as an advertising medium. In
stead of any lessening in the effort to
make it a first-class State Paper, the
Journal will be improved in every de
partment, making it the best newspa
per in the state for Nebraskans. It
is published at the State Capital,
which has always been the center of
things political and social of a state
nature. The Journal’s state tele
graphic service excels that of all com
petizors which, with its compelet
associated press reports and . special
telegraph service from Washington,
makes it the paper for Nebraska
people.
A. L. Bixby’s department is one of
the most widely read in the west,
and the fair and unprejudiced editorial
treatment of all state matters has
made the Journal thousands of warm
ffiends,,
This big reduction in price which |
now makes t he six week day papers
eight cents a week, and the seven
day paper ten cents a week, will make
the Journal the most widely read
paper throughout Nebraska.

The rapid declino of the native popu
lation of the Aleutian chain of islands
Is told in a report Just received by
the marine hospital aervico from Mr.
F. J. Thornbury, its assistant surgeon |
at Dutch harbor, Alaska. The report
says that formerly there were 120 vil
lages on the islands with a native
population variously estimated at from
t,500 to 2,500. Now, in the same dis
trict there are only 10 villages and

“Mt. McKinley.”
A bill will be Introduced into the
next New Hampshire legislature
changing the name of Mount Pleas
int, in the Presidential range, to
‘Mount McKinley.” There Is prece
lent for the change, Inasmuch as, be
sides the five early Presidents, only
those who have been shot by assas
ins have had their names given to
mountains. The name Lincoln was be
stowed on the second highest peak of
die Franconia group, and “Mount Gar
old” displaced Haystack mountain in
1881.
Four Territories Seeking Admission.
There are now four territories seek
ing admission into the Union as states

dominant party in Washington. Of
the four, three, Oklahoma, New Mex
ico and the Indian Territory are gen
erally regarded as Republican, and
anly one, Arizona, as Democratic.—

Epitaph for Equine.
A recent number of the Westminster
Gazette contains the following obitu
ary notice: “Mercifully sent to sleep
at Landguard, full of years and honor,
Freedom, a chestnut mare belonging
to Dr. Cowper. She was bred by me
and was named ‘Freedom’ by Mr. Bart
lett on account of her absolute free
dom of movement when quite a tiny
filly. In her best days she would be
hard to pass on any road.”
Tricking a Chrono’.oRpr.
President Pritchett of the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology, in
relating his experience in college re
cently, said that the way boys had of
finding a certain professor was to step

*nd call out a date in American his
tory. Instantly the professor would
come out from some window or door
In the college and say that the date
was incorrect.

ing and grading coal in northern
France. Rates have been made on
French roads which will drive Ger
man coal out of central Europe.

General Buller once explained why
lit was necessary to put such showy
elothing on most of the troops: "Be
cause a showy uniform attracts Mary
Ann, the nursemaid, who makes Tom
my Atkins join the army. In plain
uniforms, you would find recruiting a
harder job than ever.”

Domestics Are Ratified to More Com
fortable Sleeping Apartments.
Tho servant girls throughout the
country are asking that comfortable
sleeping apartments be assigned them.
As a rule the bedroom of the “hired
girl" is the most cheerless and con
tracted in the house and it is no won
der that she seeks to fly from it on
every occasion that she receives an
invitation to spend an evening else
where. Every charitable institution
In the country built for paupers and
orphans is fitted up with steam heat,
hot and cold water, and the matrons
take great pride in showing visitors
the bathrooms with all the modern im
provements. And it is not strange
that girls who work for their living
WQuld like a few of these privileges
that are given to those who are living
on charity. It is not too much to as
sume that the girls who live in our
homes and who cook our meat and
bread for us to eat may possibly have
the same ambitions to keep clean and
comfortable as those who are living in
charitable Institutions. It is not going
beyond the bounds of all reason to sup
pose that if a girl is earning her liv
ing she has a natural desire to be self
respecting and might like a closet to
keep her clothes where the moth and
dust doth not corrupt; that she may
like an opportunity to take a bath once
in a while and that she may enjoy a
decent room.
Great Reach or Roots.
It has been remarked as a serious
fact of science that a person cannot
feel pain in two different places at the
same time. To be sure, there are peo
ple who maintain that the place some
times covers the entire body, but that
does not interfere with the general
theory. A certain dentist, whose
name and address are not given, is a
stanch adherent of this theory, and
has once or twice sought to demon
strate the truth of it by Jabbing his
patients in idle arm or leg with a
heavy needle Just as he extracts the
offending tooth. One day he got hold
of a particularly stubborn tooth, which
gave him no end of trouble. “Here it
comes out at last!" he exclaimed as he
felt it yielding, and at the same time
he plunged his needle into the pa
tient’s leg. “There," he said, tri
umphantly as he held up the forceps,
with the tooth securely wedged, “we’ve
got it, you see!” “Yes, I see,," replied
the victim, ruefully. "I knew it was a
big one, and I was afraid it would
come hard, but I never supposed the
roots went so far down a3 this," and
he rubbed the spot on his leg where
the doctor had Jabbed him with a look
that was partly awe and partly pride.
ittalury Blazed on Treez
For six miles through the forest of
Hancock and Wood counties, Ohio,
may be seen a wide swath through the
treetops, the once open space being
grown thick with smaller timber. It
tells the story of Gen. Hull and the
army that blazed its way north to Fort
Meigs in the war of 1812. On several
farms near Findlay are still found
sections of the old corduroy roadway
built of the tree trunks that were
felled to gain a passage for the army.
The logs are well preserved and are
found from two to five feet under the
soil. It was at the close of that mem
orable campaign that Col. Findlay
camped on the south side of Blanch
ard’s fork of the Auglaize and estab
lished the old stockade fort named
after him, Fort Findlay.
Burial Reform Begin-,
A burial reform society has started
In a little town in California. One oi
the members has been engaged as the
undertaker, and another as grave-dig
ger. The coffins are to be made by the
undertaker, and a neat wagon is to
take the place of the conventional
hearse. The mourners will walk to
the cemetery, and the total cost of the
funeral will be about $20. On the oc
casion of death, each member of the
organization is expected to render the
assistance that ho can to the family,
and to attend the funeral. These peo
ple feel that fashion and pride gener
ally stand in the way of funeral reform
and that it is only by organization of
this kind that reform can con'!-.

Water Power Is Mighty.
Gigantic water power developments
are projected In the Alps. There are
