Miss Saiiaii Oknk Jkwktt'h next story
has been bought by the Ladie's Home
Journul, and it will chartly begin in that
magazine.
Campan'ini, the famous tenor has
written a striking article on "How to
Train the Voice" for the Ladie's Home
Journal, and it will appear in the No
vember number of that periodical.
A Significant urticle appeared in the
Journal the other evening defending at
great length and with much zeal, the
character and standing of Lemasters, the
independent candidate for the Senate.
Mr. McClintic, has paid his assessment,
and now Lemasters seems to be the
favorite of that democratic
organ of free trad'.'. Mr. Mc
Ciiutic's friendsj should pay J off their
knavish pretenders by voting for Thomas
and thereby set the seal of their indigna
tion deep and hard upon the crowd
that wculd take McClintic's money and
then sell him out for Lemasters.
It is now more than five hundred
years since a handful of patriots in the
Alps established the Swiss league of
free repubLcs,and founded a government
t Vi u t mm c r i iwwl 1 1 run rYi flif rl i m o v r i
democracy in the nineteenth century.
2 To American readers there can be but
few subjects of greater interest than the
story of a government which has for so
long a period been conducted by the
poople anel for the rwnnle; and not only
all political etude : t all thoughtful
American citizens, ..n welcome with
pleasure an article on the institation"
and people of Switzerland which is an
nounced to appear in Harper's Magazine
for November. The author of this arti
cle, Mr. S. H. M. Byers, having been for
sixteen years a resident of Switzerland,
is amply qualified to give much valuable
information regarding that ancient and
thorough going governmont.
While the McKinley bill was being
debated in Congress a great mass meet
ing was held in the city of Sheffield,
England, to pretest against it, and to
demand that that the British Govern
ment should interfere to prevent it from
becoming a law. Just what the Sheffield
people expected their goTernment to do,
affords a large opportunity for amusing
conjecture; but at the meeting, according
to the report cabled over to the New
York Herald, the leading speaker, who
was a Sheffield manufacturer of cutlery,
after stating that he remembered the
time when the American supplied work
for the entire city of Sheffield, went on
to declare that the McKinley bill was a
bill to raise American taxes out of the
pockets of the Sheffield importers and
that Sheffield was not going to pay
pntish taxes and American taxes to.
This statement shows very clearly that
the foreigners know who pay our pro
tective eluties! Sheffield may tlo as she
pleases about it, but under the McKinley
bill, if she desires to sell her goods in
American market' she will have to pay
for that privilege, and the amount of
her payment will be exactly that sum
which is the difference between the cheap
labor of Sheffield and the expensive la
bor of America.
Some time ago, in a speech elelivered
in the Canadian Parliament. Sir John
Macdonald, the Premier of the Dominion
governmont, gave a most apt and accur
ate illustration of how our protective
tariff works. This was his exact lan
guage: "Suppose the man has 100 acres on
th? Canadian side of the hue una 100
acres on the American side of the line.
Suppose he grows 1,000 bushels of barl; y
on each one of his farms. lie takes his
1,000 American bushels to the American
market and gets one $1 a bushel for it.
He takes his 1.000 burhel- of Canadian
barley to tin American m.-.rk-1 and ;-e'.s
8c per bushel, because lie has to pay l "c
duty for taking it across the line. How
cin it, in this case, be said that the con-
sumer pays the duty? It comes out of L
the pockets of the Canadian farmers
What better proof is wanted to de
monstrate the fact that protective dutie'
are not paid by the American consumer
but by the foreign producer? Es

The home of Mr. Yandervoort, the
baker at Malvern, and that of Mr. W. J.
Smith at the same place, are in mourning

ture of their two boy? for parts unknown.
The Vandervcort boy is about 15) years
old. wjjile Guy Smi:h is about 1(5. Mrs.
Smith, the mother of Guy. is a sister of
D. IL Wheeler of Omaha and i. almost
frantic over the young man's escapade.
The father was in Plnttsmouth this
morning on his way to Omah i to find
the boys if possible, though le- in no

home in a i hort time, much wiser, and
better satisfied with his lot; but mothers
are u't usually made of that kind of

Fatal Accident.
A freight brakeman by the name of
Steel was run oyer at Chalco last night
by the west bound merchandise fieiht
train No. 23. He was taken to Lincoln
end medical aid summoned, but the
skill of the physician was powerless to
rally the vital forces and he died this
morning at six o'clock. The details of
the accident could not be learned: it
seems that both lower limbs were cut off,
He resided in Lincoln.
The firemen held their regular monthly
meting last night, at the council cham

routine business.

A Pleasant Surprise.
George Longenhagen, a popular and
well known citizen of the First ward
reached his 51st birthday yesterday, and
to properly commemorate the event, his
estimable wife and son Fred organized a
thorough surprise for him. He went
downJtown to attend an S. of V. meet
ing and returned bome about 0 o'clock
to find his pleasant home taken posses
sion of by his neighbors and friends. A
good social time was had until supper
was announced, when all repaired to the
dining room, where a royal feast had
been prepared by the good housewife
that really added new encomiums to the
well known merit of Pennsylvania cook
ery. All the delicacies of the season, as
wTcll as the best of thj substantial were
provided in the greatest abundance, anel
the way the crowd enjoyed the collation
can be better understood when we say
that those present were- Henry Cooper,
Fred Bates, A. J. Price, L. C. Curtis,
Andy Frye, T. II. Leach, J. Hutchinson
wife and daughter, F. II. Steriwker, wife
and daughter, M. D. Polk, wife and

Vmong the many presents rcived
was an easy chair from Mrs. L. and a
tine, well executed crayon picture by
Fred Longenhagen, that was very fine
indeed. The box of cigars that was re
ceived were passed around, and we can
youch for their being good. The Grand
Army boys made an appropriate present,
and at a late hour the party adjourned,
all having spent a very pleasant evening.

The Herald learns that some of th
finest samples of sugar beets raised iu
Nebraska came frcm the uplands of Cas
county. Thay were not only juucfi
larger than the western beet but were
sweeter than some cf the Grand Island
samples. Why can't Plattsmouth have
a sugar factory? It would do far more
for the town than a new railroad, and
would be completed this winter if
we can outbid Fremont.
