When tha (youngster came on deck Captain Ham ilton asked him how the glass Btood. "‘Steadily rising, sir," was the reply, “Ah!" said the captain, "and how i> the sherry?” Like a shot came thO answer, “Steadily falling, sir." Hamil ton so much appreciated the joke that lie allowed the Incident to pass with put further notice. i —-- » ■-■ . Of the modern tendency to flock to Ihe city, a writer says; “In 1801 not more than 30 per cent, of the entire population of England lived in towns End embarked In urban industries; to day they who dwell in cities form more than 6G per cent, of the whole. On the other hand, in 1801 the percentage of the nation who lived in strictly rural districts and were occupied In agri cultural and rural pursuits amounted, to 52 per cent, of the whole population; today It has descended to the alarm ing level of not more than 18 per cent.” , Tolstoi Is In excellent health, but t-eads less than formerly and sleeps longer.

Omaha, Neb., May 15.—Unlawfu fences which inclosed 800,000 acres ol the government domain in the westerr part of the state have been taken clown Sworn, statements to that effect have been received by Special District Attor ney Hush from twenty-five cattiemer against whom he brought seven eivi actions, five in federal circuit courl and two In federal district court. These actions were all injunction suits filed last fall, and three days age decrees were issued commanding the cattlemen to remove their fences with in five days and enjoining them per manently from constructing fences up on government land. None of the cat tlemen appeared or answered the bill ot complaint, and the reason they did not is now obvious. They had com piled with the order to remove their fences before the official decrees were issued by Judge Munger. As the result of abandoning the ille gal fences, vast tracts of land, outside the inclosures, have been relinquished. A case in point is that of the U. B. 1. Cattle company in Hoker county. George G. Ware, president of that x-r poratlon, has advised Mr. Rush that the unlawful fences of the company, inclosing 31 1,000 acres of government land, have been taken down. Connect ing with this inclosure on the south west was the lnclosure of Ruben W. Mahaffey. He also has announced that his wires have been taken down. A similar thing is true of all the small ranchmen round about the U B. I. inclosure. They, as well as the Federal Cattle company, the O’Con nor Cattle company, Black Brothers and nearly all the defendants In the seven suits have sent in affidavits tc Inform the government that their cat tle ranges have been relinquished.

Railroad employes have been having held up before them by their superior officers the possibility of the next legis lature reducing railroad fares to 2 cents a. mile and enacting a new maximum freight rate law. They are told that If these two things happen, the em ployes will be the first to suffer, as retrenchment to meet reduced income always hits the employe first. This ex plains in a measure the concern of the men over the situation. MASONS MAY BUILD. Long Pino.

LEGALITY OF MACHINES Probable That Defeated Official* Will Attempt to Prove That Voting by Machines Is Contrary to Constitution. Omaha. May 12.—Efforts may be made In the courts to extend Indefinite ly the terms of the present city coun iHImeri and other city officers. That such a scheme is incubating was re ported Tuesday, and developments yes iterday seemed to confirm It. 1 The rumor was to the effect that pnembers of the outgoing council and corporation interests had asked \V. W. [Morsman. attorney for the Nebraska .Telephone company, to prepare an lopinlon as to whether the voting by machines meets with the requirements of the Nebraska constitution regarding (the definition of the word ‘ ballot.” ' Today Mr. Morsman said he did not , care to discuss the matter. ■ in other states where voting ma chines have been used similar cases have been taken into court on the same kind of grounds. Records are .said to show the suits have been beaten find the registering of a vote by an automatic counter found to be suffi cient. The point was one discussed (when Omaha bought Us voting machine equipment, and before tills was done Special laws were passed by the legis lature. Recently the supreme court up held *'-><* validity of bonds authorized by a vote cast on the machine. Never theless, prominent lawyers are not sure about the proposition one way or the other, and hesitate to express an opin orj. QUAKE IN NEBRASKA. Sand Hills Shiver and Rumble Likt Passing Train Is Heard at Cody. Cody, Neb., May 12.—An earthquak< occurred here last evening. The ground shook as though a heavy train was passing. No damage was done. The shock was plainly felt In this vi cinity and from fifty to sixty square miles around, lasting fully one minute. Three years ago a slight earthquake shock was felt in the vicinity of Cody, the phenomenon being observed on the same night of the great disaster at Martinique, the eruption of Mont Pelee. The tremor was observed over an area of several hundred square miles. PROBE RATES AT OMAHA. Omaha, Neb., May 12.—There are In dications that the federal grand jury, now In session, is to be called upon to ascertain if the railroads have allowed the South Omaha packers to profit by secret freight rates. Also if there were rate discriminations by which the so called grain trust has had a monopoly of the grain interests of Nebraska. In federal circles it is reported that Dis trict Attorney Goss has directions from the department of justice to proceed J in these investigations. Asked if he had received such in structions, Mr. Goss said Wednesday: | "It is contrary to the rules of this office to make public our correspond- | enee with the department of Justice.” "Do you care to deny the report that the grand jury will probe the rebate matter?” he was asked. ‘ "If it comes to that—no, I will not it.” Ever since the message of President | Roosevelt to congress in regard to Com missioner Garfield's Standard Oil re port, federal officials in Omaha have an- [ tielpated that something drastic would soon be doing In the west. . Inasmuch as the land frauds have thus far been successfully prosecuted j in Nebraska and the efficiency of the federal legal department well tested, it is believed by those most familiar with , United States court affairs that the de partment of justice will make this an important field of inquiry as to secret rate discriminations. CONFESSES AND IS SENTENCED. Defaulting Bank Cashier at West Point Surrenders Himself. | West Point. Neb.. May 12.—Charles E. Mead, the defaulting assistant cash- | ler of the Be enter State bank, who was out on bond of $1,500 pending his trial in the district court of Cuming county on a charge of embezzling the sum of $8,300, the pro. rty of the bnnk, surrendered to his bondsmen and appeared before District Judge Guy T. Graves and pleaded guilty to the charges alleged in the complaint. He was Immediately sentenced to a term of three years in the penitentiary and will be taken there by Sheriff Mal ehow. The prisoner manifested no concern whatever—was perfectly non chalant in his manner and did not seem to realize the gravity of his position. I The case presents a number of very curious features which the people of the community are unable to under stand. Much sympathy is expressed for his young wife. RESIGNATIONS REQUESTED. Norfolk, Neb., May 12.—Dr. Alden superintendent, and Dr. Nicholson, as sistant. of the state Insane hospital here, who have been requested by Gov ernor Mickey to resign, have not yet sent in their resignations. Dr. Alden , says that he desires a thorough inves- I Itigatlon before resigning and he will i submit to fhe result. He says that as long as no charge has been brought against him he believes he is entitled I to an investigation. He denies that, ! there has been friction, and declares j : there has never been an unpleasant 1 ! word between himself and Dr. Nichol- 1 , son. Dr. Nicholson says that new de | velopments may arise in the matter '< within a day or two. Both are unde I aided as to what they shall do. There is some resentment in Norfolk that successors have both been chosen from the southern part of the state for the only state institution in the northern half.

D., May 10.—Jess Smith, a teamster for Sheriff Wright, took car bolic acid last night here in a dance hall and died in lire presence of the whole company. The act was caused by jealousy of attentions paid his wife. TRADE EXPANDS AS STRIKES ARE ENDED Adjustment of Matters in Coal Fields and on the Lakes Has Good Effect. New York, May 15.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says to-day: Domestic industrial conditions are greatly improved by the anthracite coal settlement and, the resumption of traffic on the lakes, while the inter national situation is much brighter now that the French elections have passed without a serious outbreak. Foreign conditions are of unusual im portance to business interests in the United States owing to the present close relations of the money markets. Prices of securities have recovered part of the recent loss and heavy im ports of gold have at least temporarily relieved the financial stringency. Man ufacturing plants operate close to their full capacity with orders in the steel industry already running well into 1907. and structural work was never more active. Wholesale trade in fall and winter goods is on a large scale, but unseasonable weather causes much complaint regarding re tail distribution of merchandise and retards work on the farms in sev eral important sections. This element of uncertainty as to the crops tends to maintain quotations of staples at a high position. Dun's Index of com modity prices on May 1 was $106,059, against $106,066 a month ago, the slight decline being supplied by dairy and garden products, but compared •with the level of all quotations a year ago there is an advance of 8.5 per cent. Railway earnings thus far available for April show a gain of 90.7 per cent, over the previous year and foreign commerce at this port for the last week exhibits gains of $4,526,277 in lexports and $428,538 in imports as compared with the same week in 1905. 'Mercantile collections are still some 'what irregular, but show a slight im provement on the whole. Bank ex changes at New York for the week were 23.8 per cent larger than a year ago, partly because of the much heav ier trading in securities. At other leading cities the gain averaged 5.6 per cent. Failures this week were 209 in the United States, against 197 last year and Inst week 17 in Canada, comp'ared with 21 a year ago. KRUPP GUN HEIRESS HIT BY CUPID’S DART Widow of Great German Ironmaster, Wealthiest Woman in Europe, May Wed a Prince. Berlin, M:iy 15.—Bertha Krupp, the wealthiest woman in the work: and the heiress of the German Iron master, whose annual income was $5,000,000. is engaged. The name of the lucky man who has won her affections is kept secret. One report is that the fiance is a royal prince, and another is that it is a poor physician. The kaiser will soon visit the Krupp residence in Essen, when the betrothal will be celebrated. His presence presages a sumptuous festival, according to German custom. The name of the fiance is to be kept secret until then. THE MARKETS. . Sioux City Live Stock.

ROSEWATER IS IN RACE FOR SENATOR Editor of Omaha Bee Has His Candidacy Launched by Son. NO CONTEiST OF DOLLARS hhis Sort of Conflict Is Said to B« Tabooed—Governor Mickey Said to Have Eye on the Same Place. Omaha, Neb., May 9—The Omaha Be& :his morning contains the following ar ticle announcing the candidacy of Ed ward Rosewater for United States sen ator: "Many people In all parts of Nebraska have for some time been urging that Edward Rosewater become their candi date for United States senator. Re sponding to these requests, I hereby announce for my father in his absence at Rome as the official representative of the United State: at the Universal Postal congress that a delegation will (be offered for the endorsement of the republicans of Douglas county and I Bnvite the co-operation of Roosevelt re publicans throughout the state for his (nomination in state convention. "The position of Edward Rosewater on public questions is too well known to require recital. For more than a .third of a century he has been working as a consistent republican in season .and out of season for the very meas ures that constitute the principal fea tures of the legislative program now advocated by President Roosevelt. His •whole political career has been an un remitting battle for the common people las against the domination of corporate (interests and the encroachment of over freedy capital. Could berve Nebraska. "All the property Interests of Mr. 'Rosewater are in Nebraska, to whose ■upbuilding he has devoted his life en ergy, and as senator he would have no interests elsewhere to divert or divide !his attention. His intimate familiarity with the resources and needs of Ne braska and his wide personal acquain tance with influential public men should make him most useful in the [service of his fellow citizens as their representative at Washington. Were it not for the conviction that he could in itliat. capacity accomplish substantial good for the development and prosper ity of Nebraska and the west he would not consent to submit his name for consideration. “One thing more should he distinctly ■understood in advance. Mr. Rosewater will not enter into a contest of dollars to secure the nomination for United States senator; he could not if he would and would not if he could. He will look to the whole people of Ne braska, to the wage workers, the farm ers and producers whom he has cham pioned for so many years, as well as to the substantial business interests to rally to his support. But neither will he be a mere passive candidate. A vig orous effort will be made In his behalf, -if necessary, both in his home county and other counties. "All Nebraskans who want their stats represented in the United States senate ,by a man of mental vigor and positive opinions on every important question of the hour, who at the same time is absolutely free from corporation strings, are cordially invited to join in this movement. I also invite all in accord with Mr. Rosewater's candidacy to communicate with me. “Victor Rosewater." Mickey May Be Candidate. Lincoln, Neb., May 7.—Governor Mickey, according to a number of his political friends, will not desist In his efforts to secure the senatorial in dorsement of the next republican con vention. His decision to remove to Omaha is regarded as the first move in that direction. ■ The victory of Mayor-elect Dahlman is regarded by Lincoln politicians as the death blow to the candidacy of John L. Webster. It is declared that! Millard will meet with bitter opiposi-' tion. Wattles is too rich and Rose ;water impossible on account of the pugnaciousness of his political ene mies. So the Mickey adherents will sug-’ gest an Omaha candidate by adoption. Mickey will pledge Omahans his ser vices as a resident senator and hope for support as a compromise candidate.; Friends of Norris Brown have fore-i seen this move and have been laboring to get Mickey in the race for a third; term. The boom of Mayor Miles, of Hast-; ings, has been emphasized by the in dorsement of the United Commercial! Travelers. He was pledged the hearty support of that organization, and each member has promised to boom the in terests of Miles in all parts of the state.
