It IS now Grover Cleveland, Esq., of
Princeton, N. J.
A few more names are needed on
the petition for jail erection. Re
member any legal voter is entitled to
sign the petition who resides in this
county.
Wrrn all Grover Cleveland's mil
lions he is reported in bed suffering
acute pain from an attack of gout. No
newspaper man ever had the gout,
hence Grover will get little sympathy
from the press. He ought to have
lived on plainer diet.
The Kansas legislature is in a fer
ment over the fact that two virtuous
legislators openly say they have been
offered bribes in a stock yard regula
tion bill that was before that body.
Warrants have been issued for the
guilty parties aud it is to be hoped
they will meet with the severest pen
alty the law can inflict, as a good ex
ample for others.
Poor Greece, the descendants of
the heroes of Thermopala; and of the
Hellenese, have been notified by the
allied monarchies of Europe that the
blessed Turks must not be humbled.
Crete will remain under Turkish rule
and the Grecian warriors will have to
abandon the island of Crete. It is a
disgrace to civilization, but the Greeks
must submit to the order.
The deposed mayor of Nebraska
City, Mr. Stahlhut, seems to hang on
to his old job with a tenacity worthy
of a better cause. He went in and at
tempted to preside at a meeting Mon
day evening just as if nothing had
happened, but he was given the mar
ble heart and left the council chamber
after which the acting mayor called
to order and proceeded with the busi
ness. OUR anglicised ambassador, Thomas
Fj, Bayard, will visit the queen today
and sleep in the palace tonight as the
latter's special guest. His farewell is
so painful that we believe he ought to
be given a permanent leave of absence
so he wouldn't have to give up his
pleasant relationship with royalty.
His successor, will doubtless be an Am
erican citizen who will not be ashamed
of the stars and stripes.
While Major McKinley ia an earn
est believer in civil service, yet he is
also ,a believer in fairness, and it is
said the plan carried out by Cleve
land to fill ail offices by appointing
democrats and then place them under
the protection of the civil service,will
not be allowed to stand. The rule
will be suspended by McKinley' until
examinationsc3j) &s 'ihade and men
outsidithe ranks can have an oppor
.fWuity to draw a salary.
Mr. Cleveland's idea of the Am
erican flag in foreign countries is be
ing carried out to the letter. Near
Havanna yesterday "old glory" was
raised by Americans and immediately
torn down and stamped on the
ground by Spaniards. Cleveland's ad
ministration stands insults to this
country now, but Mr. McKinley will
not. It must be considered in Ha
vana by the Spanish an insult to have
a relative within the confines of the
United States. Nebraska City Press.
The city treasurer of Omaha publi
shes a statement monthly showing
just how much public money he has
on hand and the precise amounts on
deposit in the various city depositories.
Nobody ever has claimed for a mo
ment that the publicity given to the
city finances reacted injuriously upon
the banks holding the money. Why
should not equal publicity be given to
the state finances? If the state money
is placed in well-secured banks as re
quired by law how could any official
information about the state deposits
discredit them? Publicity is the most
effective safeguard to insure the pru
dent handling of public officers. Om

' The talk in certain quarters about
Hartley's bond being invalidated is
shameful, and a court that would heed
such silly, flimsy technicalities ought
to be removed by force to Oklahoma.
"We at one time thought Mr. Bartley
was not a defaulter, but we no longer
harbor any such an opinion and we
not only hope to see him punished but
we hope also to see the state recover
every dollar that has been squandered.
The courts are in republican hands,
but they will not remain so if any at
tempt is made to shield the pillagers
who have fattened off the 6tate funds,
and indeed no honest man could ask
that republican judges be elected
hereafter if they are to become abet
tors to state robbery.
The Nebraska reform press associa
tion met in, Lincoln the first of the
week, but we could not see that the
reformers walked any- straighter or-in
any way seemed better than their
brother editors who refuse to sail
under a reform flag. There is, e.s a
rule, more hypocrisy and genuine vil
lainy hatched and carried on under
the garb of reform than under any
other name.
Brother Stewart of the Murdock
Columbian is inclined to oppose the
erection of a new jail, but we notice
some of the heaviest taxpayers in the
west end of the county are in favor of
the proposition. The special election
will cost less than $200 nd not 82,000,
as our friend imagines.

Speaker GafHo, consisting of three

There wits war in the fusion ranks
at Lincoln yesterday when Senator
Ransom, and W. W. Clary, Clerk of
committee of the whole, had a knock
down fight at the Lincoln ftotel.
Clary's face was cut open and the
blood flowed freely before the com
batants could be parted. The trouble
arose over a roll call in the senate,
when the stock yards bill was up for
consideration. In the eveuing an as
sistant sergeant-at-arms had a fight
with bis brother door Keeper, but no
serious damage was done to either. If
the session grows much warmer there
will be a general row which we trust
tho republicans will keep clar of.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
the Telltale Tracks on the Tapestry Re
trayeil Him.
Four or five Washington pastors were
having a pleasant little meeting the
other afternoon at the study of one of
them, and they were having compara
tively as much fun out of it as that
many rounders would have had at a sa
loon knee deep in 47 varieties of tipple.
They were telling Sunday school stories,
as a rule, but they swung around after
awhile to temperance.
"In my youth in Virginia," said the
host, "we had, what is rare nowadays
to wit, a lot of more or less seedy and
shabby genteel old fellows who went
about the country delivering lectures on
temperance and getting out" of it only
about so much as would clothe and feed
them. Some of them were no doubt good
and conscientious men, but among them
were many who, notwithstanding their
professions, dearly loved to take a glass
of something warming to the inner man.
' 'Most of these tipplers were very par
ticular not to have the rumor get abroad
that they ever tasted the vile stuff, and
when they took their drinks they ob
served great secrecy. I remember there
was one whom we thought to be a most
abstemious old fellow, and no one
diought he ever tasted a drop, particu
larly a maiden aunt of mine who lived
with my mother and was as rigid a
temperance woman as ever came out of
NewJnglancL My mother was much
more liberal and wanted always to en
tertain these workers in the good cause,
but my aunt had In-come so suspic ious
of all of them except this particular one
that he was tho only one who could find
a night's lodging at our place.
"One night this old chap came to staj
all night, and he had such a severe -old
that my mother prescribed a rubbing of
goose grease on his feet and toasting it
in by the fire before he went to bt.d.
Now, as it happened, in the room where
he slept there was a new carpet which
my aunt had presented to my mother as
a birthday gift, and there was an old
fashioned sideboard in the same room,
with a two gallon jug of good whisky
on it, which somebody had forgotten to
put inside and lock up. At 8 o'clock tl e
black boy carried in the goose grease to
our guest and left him sitting before the
fire.
"Just what happened after that no
body knows, but after tho guest had de
parted next morning and the servants
went to straighten up the room they
found tracks innumerable between the
fireplace and the sideboard, and in some
way it was discovered that the old fel
low, afraid of taking cold, had greased
his socks and toasted the grease into his
feet through them, and while the toast
ing was going on he made regular and
freqxient trips to the jug. Of course, ii
the tracks on t lie cariet had not betrayed
him, no one would have ever noticed Ly
the jug that he had been drinking out
of it. He never came back again, and 1
don't know whether my aunt was more
pained over the ruined carjf t or ovct

DETECTED THE REPEATERS.
Innocent Fishhooks Which Caused Whole-.
sale Arrest of Voters.
During the reconstruction times in
Alabama, just after the late civil war,
all of the Btate and county offices were
administered by the Republicans. This
was from 18GG to 1874, when the Dem
ocrats again secured control of the gov
ernment and have held it ever since.
The election of George S. Houston, a
Democrat, as governor in 1874 was one
of the hottest ever held in the state, and
many were the tricks practiced on both
sides in that election. Possibly the most
novel was a device put into operation at
Mobile. Kepeaters were common in
those days, -and this device was used by
the Democrats to catch the negroes, who
had learned the repeating trick. All of
the negroes voted the Republican ticket
then.
On the election day mentioned the
polling places were opened, and the vot
ing commenced. The. Democratic elec
tion officers at the boxes had secured a
stock of small fishhooks with which to
carry out their new plan. Whenever a
negro voted, an officer stuck a hook in
the voter's vest front, where it could be
plainly seen. After having exercised his
constitutional right of voting. "Cuffy"
proceeded to another polling place and
sought to vote a second time. He was
thereupon arrested and put in jail uioii
a charge of fraud. The scheme worked
like a charm. By noon 175 negroes had
been arrested and jailed. The whole
sale arrests so frightened the negroes
who had not voted that they refrained
from going to the polls that clay, and
the Democrats won the election. Chi

The Whipping: Post In Boston.
Alice Morse Earle, in an article ou
"Punishments of Bygone Days," found
in The Chapbook, after giving John Tay
lor the Water Poet's rhymed descrip
tions of corporal punishment iu London,
explains how rapidly flogging came into
use in Boston :
The whipping post was speedily in
full force in Boston. At the session cf
the court held Nov. 80, 1630, oue man
was sentenced to be whipped for steal
ing a loaf of bread, another for shooting
fowl on the Sabbath, another for swear
ing, another for leaving a boat "with
out a pylott" Then we read of John
Pease that for "stryking his mother and
deryding her he shalbe whipt. "
Lying, swearing, taking false toll,
perjury, selling mm to the Indians all
were punished by whipping. Pious re
gard for the Sabbath was fiercely upheld
by the support of the whipping post. In
1643, Roger Scott, for "repeated sleep
ing on the Lord's day," and for strik
ing the person who waked him from his
godiess slumber, was sentenced to be se
verely whipped. Women were not
spaied in public chastisement. "The

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.
by local applieations. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion ol the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutio
nal remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and un
less the inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sutaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be

COST OF RUNNING A TRAIN.
Knglish Estimates ou Railroad Travel of
Passengers in England.
How many people who travel . in
trains ever think of the cost of running
then.? says the London Tid Bits. It
will probably surprise most people
who have traveled from London to
Edinburgh to know that every mile of
the journey costs the railroad com
pany over half a crown. Tne cost of
the whole journey ftom the English to
the Scotch capital is 50. -
The average cost of running a train
in England is 2 shillings 7 pence per
mile, so that, the fare being reckoned
at one penny per mile, a train with
less than thirty-one passengers for
each mile is run at a loss. There are
few trains, however that do not carry
more than this number of passengers,
anil niaDy of them carry that number
doubled many times over. It is neces
sary frequently to run trains that do
not uay usually in thinly inhabited
country districts but for every train
run at a loss, probably, a hundred are
run at an enormous profit.
Take, for instance, the journey from
London to Edinburgh, which costs
the railway company 50. The aver
age number of "through" passengers
iu these trains is probably sixty, in
which case the total fares would be
nearly 100 a clear gain of nearly 50.
When it is remembered that these
trains run several times a day, and
every day in the year, it will be un
derstood what an enormous revenue a
single line yields in the course of
twelve months. Supposing the aver
age number of passengers to be sixty,
the midnight mail from London to
Edinburgh yields over 20,000 for
dividened in a year!
The longest railway journey in the
United Kingdom would probably be
from Penzance in Cornwall to Thurso
in the north of Scotland, a distance of
over a thousand miles. A train run
ning between these two places would
exhaust an ordinary clerk's salary for
a whole year, the cost being no less
than 13S. A train from London to
Manchester involves an outlay of
about 25, and the "through" train
to Aberdeen, exclusive of taxes, rates,
government duty, etc., which sum up
to more than 3,000.
Faithful to His Captain.
That was a loyal if not very gentle
answer once made by a private soldier
to Frederick the Great of Prussia, as
the story is told in Harper's Round Ta
ble:
During a campaign in Silesia the
king made it his habit to stroll through
his camp in disguise at night, to come
into closer relations with his soldiers.
One night he was stopped by a sentry,
but, giving the proper password, was
permitted to proceed. Instead of doing
so, however, he endeavored to tempt
the sentry into accepting a cigar, say
ing that a sniole would solace his long
watch.
"It is against the rules, "said the
soldier.
"But you have my permission," said
Frederick.
" Your permission!" cried the soldier.
"And who are you?"
"I am the king."
"The king be hanged!" said the in
corruptible sentry. "What would my
captain say?

Necessity the Mother of Invention.
"If a man keeps his eyes open, he
sees many a fnnuy thing while riding
on street cars," said a regular patron of
the Peters avenue line. "If you will
take a ride ou this line some dark
night, frequently ahead of the car
you'll Bee a light waved across the track,
and if you watch closely you will see
the motormau begin applying the brakes,
and the car will stop, and a smiling col
ored gentleman will board the car and
laughingly say that he got this car to
stop for him. I found, upon asking a
conductor one day, that the negroes in
this part of the town have caught on to
the fact that as that part of the city is
black at night the motormen of the
swift moving cars cannot detect their
presence on the track in sufficient time
to stop their cars for them, so they, fig
uratively, 'hang out a light for the car
to stop,' and it seems to work both to
the satisfaction of the colored population
and the motormen on the cars. " Neces
sity is the mother of invention, and it
seems our colored brother has hit upon
a scheme to offset the lack of lights on
those streets back of town traversed by

X Rays and Diamonds.
One excellent use to which the new X
rays can be put should interest women.
It seems that by their aid one can read
ily determine whether diamonds are
real or false, for the rays pass quite
through. real diamonds, leaving them
transparent, and not at all through false
ones. A real parure when photographed
would show oulj- the mounting, but in
a false one all the stones would turn
out black. Strangely enough, theX rays
will not penetrate glass. Eyeglasses, if
photographed, come out black. This
proved useful in the case of a Vienna
glassworker who got a bit of glass into
his finger. By the aid of the rays it was
discovered, extracted and the workman

THE NAME CAME BACK.
And For Awhile the Doctor Could Not
See the limn or of It.
It is a familiar contention among
psychologists that an incident once
thoroughly presented to the human
mind cannot be effaced from the mem
ory. In this connection Dr. Cyrus Ham
lin, the well known missionary to Tur
key and the founder of Robert college,
Constantinople, is reported by the Wash
ington Star as telling a humorous story.
Among Dr. Hamlin's friends and
substantial helpers was a Philadelphia
gentleman, whose name could not be re
called by the doctor, who was then in
Turkey. Every incident connected with
their interviews, even to the street and
number cf the house irf which his bene
factor had lived, was as plain to the
doctor as if the events had occurred but
yesterday, but to save Lis life he could
not think of the gentleman s name.
As time went on this failure of mem
ory Caused him serious annoyance, and
he adopted all sorts of expedients to
bring back the same. He would take the
letters of the alphabet one at a time and
think over all the surnames he had ever
heard, but to no avail. Then in his
imagination he would start down the
street where his friend had lived, enter
the house, go through the ceremony of
introduction and repeat word for word,
as nearly as he could remember it, the
conversation which had taken place be
tween them, but still he could not recall
the name.
When, after 3 years, he returned to
his native land on a visit, he took the
trouble to go to Philadelphia, in order
to settle the question which had been
puzzling him so long. He visited the
house, but found only strangers, who
could tell him nothing of the people
who had lived there so many years be
fore. So finally Dr. Hamlin abandoned
the search, thinking that here at last
was a case where something had been
thoroughly presented to the human
mind, and as thoroughly effaced.
One night, after he h:.d returned per
manently to this country, he attended a
large dinner where were several clis
tinguished psychologists. During the
evening the conversation turned upon
the subject of memory, and the well
known scientific principle was discussed,
This was too good an opportunity to be
lost, and Dr. Hamlin proceeded to relate
his experience at length, as an example
of the opposite kind.
He was, of course, listened to with
great interest, and as he approached the
end of his story he said, with great lm-
pressiveness: ,
"Gentlemen, there was an incident
presented to my mind more than 40
years ago, and I have not been able to
think of the name of Captain Robinson
from that day to this. "
When his climax was greeted by a
hearty burst of laughter, the worthy
doctor looked round in great astonish
ment, for he thought he had told a
pretty good Ftory and could see nothing
fn it to provoke mirth. It was some time
before the truth of the matter dawned
upon him.
Bock Pictures In Oregon.
W. B. Whittemore while in Alturas,
Or., recently discovered some remark
able hieroglyphics about 15 miles north
east from the north end of Warner val
ley on the edge of what is locally known
as the "desert in Lake county. Mr.
Whittemoie says the hieroglyphics had
been cut with a sharp instrument in the
surface of the hard basaltic rock. They
cover the face of the bluff for a distance
of about three miles and consist of pic
tures of Indians with bows, arrows and
spears, besides deer, antelope, dogs and
wolves, geese, ducks, swans and reptiles
of various kinds. Intermingled with these
animals are characters which, of course,
he could not decipher. He says that the
execution of the pictures was very good,
and he is satisfied that it could not
have been the work of ordinary Indians.
Throughout the entire distance the char
acters and pictures are in rows.
The Indians of the vicinity have no
knowledge of the meaning of the hiero
glyphics or of the people who ages ago
chiseled them on the snrface of the
rocks. From the description given, the
picture writing bears a close resem
blance to that found in Mexico and Cen
tral America. If this supposition is true,
a careful study might reveal to the
archaeologist some insight into the origin
or wanderings of a dead and forgotten
civilization. Cor. San Franc::o CalL
It Was Lucky.
"Harry," she said reproachfully.
"Well?" he returned apprehensively.
for there was that in her tone that made
him fear the worst.
"It is evident from your breath," she
went on, that you have been drinking.
"Well?" ts said again for want of
something better to eay.
"When a mere girl," she explained
regretfully, "I made a solemn vow that
lips that touched wine should never
touch mine."
"Oh, is that all?" he said with evi
dent relief. "If you were a little more
conversant with the price of things in
that line and with the details of my sal
ary, you wouldn't hesitate a moment on
account of that vow. But it's mighty
lucky that yon didn't include anything
but wine in it." Chicago Post
