Of any Ca County Pper
President McKinxey baa at last
given it out that h& is only waiting
for the return of Special Commissioner
Calhoun from Cuba to take immediate
action in the Cuban matter, and we
have faith enough in his Americanism
to believe no weakling policy will be
adopted. .
The democratic newspapers which
were swearing at John Wanamakor
only a few months ago are now print
ing his speeches with great gusto. It
is marvelous what a kind feeling
democrats have for sorehead republi
cans. Wanamaker is exhibiting his
sore spots lo the pub! ic since his de
feat by Quay.
There is still reason to believe that
McKinley will soon give the people a
taste of the true American policy, and
thatCuba will not only have its bellig
erency recognized, but that steps
looking to permanent annexation of
the island are not .improbable. Right
now is a good time to act in some
manner, anyway.
Ex-Judge Chapman was reversed
again last week in a case appealed
from Otoe county, in which the M. P.
railway was a party defendant. The
supreme court is by many considered
rather friendly to the railways, but
the rank work of Chapman while on
the bench in the Missouri Pacific's
interests, it seems, was too far from
the settled principles of law ana jus
tice, hence his decisions meet with al
most universal dismissal or are re
versed for a new trial.
Mb. W. J. Bkyan now says that
"the adoption of the gold standard by
Japan and Peru has incrersed the
strain upon gold." What does .Bryan
mean by such tommy-rot as this? Gold
is simply a standard coin by which
other metal moneys are measured, as
well as all paper representatives of
money. Does Mr. Bryan mean to in
sinuate that the adoption by Japan
and Peru of the standard of 36 inches
for a yard would, incr ease the strain
.upcQ yardsticks? If he does not mean
- this his whole complaint is but a hand
ful of moonshine. Lincoln CalL
Silver continues to drop lower
and lower, there being bow 46 cents
worth in the silver dolar. The
nonsence about the farmers wheat
and the silver dollar is not heard any
more. Time has shown that the silver
fiatists of the Bryan species were
badly mistaken, or else they were try
ing to mislead the people when they
preached the wonderful relation in
price which wheat and silver bore to
each other. Wheat is now worth
nearly twice as much as it was a
year ago, and silver is cheaper than
it has been before for a hundred
years. One, by one, the props are
falling and long before the dawn of
1900 is seen, the silver issue wille be a
decayed reminiscence.

4 The Eg-ft- Crop.
From the Texas Stock and Farm Journal.
There are about 800,000,000 chickens
in the United States. The increase
in this sort of live stock in this coun
try has been enormous. In 1880 there
were only 102,000,000 chickens. The
"production of hens' eggs in the United
States is about 900,000,000 dozen an-
' nually just about double that of 1830
The greatest egg producing state is
Ohio, which sends to market 75,000,
000 dozen per annum. It is closely fol
lowad by Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and
- Pennsylvania, In the order mentioned.

INFORMATION AND OPINIONS.
After a longr, wearisome day's toil
io chop, office or factory, what a relief
it is to the tired husband to find, upon
entering the door of his own home,
the smiling faces of his wife and
little ooes beaming upon him with all
the love that can possibly exist be
tween human beingsl This man, of
all others, may be considered indeed
fortunate. Though the jingle of
wealth be a strange, unaccustomed
noise to his ear, yet the loving voices
of those dependent upon him will give
him courage even strength to forge
his way ahead to the goal which
every man strives to gain. He does not
become easily discouraged over life's
numerous misfortunes; he does not
display a frown where he should wear
a smile, and he seems to be ever sat
isfied with things in general. Wealth
may be a great and necessary thing,
but it cannot always purchase happi
ness, and from this fact the toiler, who
must sweat for his daily bread, can
extract an abundance of consolation.
While be is ccmrtilccto spend his
dollars as fast as he can earn them,
yet the laborer, who can live and be
happy upon his meagre income, is far
more blessed than a 'great many men
who are termed "millionaires."
W. H. Gildersleeve of Wayne
bought ninety-eight head of cattle
last fall at $3.25. He fed them 10-cent
corn and sold them the other day at
a price which netted him 55 cents a
bushel for the corn. He feels as if he
knew something about making money
out of cheap corn, having cleared
over $2,000.
Nebraska City claims to have well

James Mullen, a Kentucky farmer,
recently sold a walnut tree standing
on his farm to a Cincinnati firm for

The city councils of many towns in
the state are making a wise move in
seeing that the health ordinances are
strictly observed. By keeping the
streets, alleys and premises free from
filth, not only diminishes the dangers
of disease, but it improves the ap-
pearanco of things in general and
shows that the citizen has an equal
respect for the welfare of others as he
has for that of his own. If every prop
erty owner spent a few hours occasion
ally in this worthy occupation, it
could soon be claimed that we lived
in a healthful community a place
entirely-devoid "of unnecessary filth.
While there are always a few in
animate people who oppose auy good
movement, yet their disregard should
not serve in any way to delay the
good work that has been and is now
in progress.
Probably the smallest piece of
painting in the world is that executed
by a Flemish artist. It is painted on the
smooth side of a grain of common
white corn, and pictures a mill and a
miller mounting a stair with a sack of
grain on his back. The mill is repre
sented as standing' on a terrace, and
near it is a horse and cart, while a
group of several peasants is shown in
the road near by. Ex.

at 4,529,000 bushels. The wheat crop
of Oklahoma is estimated at 6.000,000
bushels more, against 2,600,000 lust

When we see them signal each other

CHURCH BELLS.
Of tn upon some Alpine height
Where cooler breezes blow
I've listened with a kwn delight
To chiming bells below.
Their music rose no sweet, so clear.
Its memory with me dwells
And rushes o'er ine when I hear
The Sun lay morning belli.
Or frou. jnthedral spire of stonft
High Roaring in the air,
The great bells' solving, throbbing tone
Has moved my soul to prayer.
The grandeur of that lofty chofr
I hear from tower and dome,
Afar or near, whene'er I hoar
The Sabbath bells at home.
Buoh pious memories, indeed.
Their melton notes recall,
I find I really do not need
To go to church at all.
They drive away and keep at bay
111 humor and the vapors.
And bo I listen as I stay
In bed and read the papers.

THE REPORTER'S STORY.
flow Editor McCullagh Used Ilia Lengthy
Writ Up of a Murder.
When I applied to Joseph B. McCul
lagh for a position as reporter on The
Globe-Democrat, hi 1885, I bad been
posted abont his detestation of dudes
and wore an old 6uit clean, but almost
threadbare. I had letters of recom
mendation, from Colonel Burke of The
Times-Democrat and from Colonel Do
remns of the Dallas News, which I held
in my hand, ready for -his inspection.
I made my speech, rather disconcerted
by the cool, calculating manner in
which he inspected me while doing so,
and then handed him my ' 'credentials. "
He glanced at the signatures, without
reading the contents of either of the let
ters, picked up n slip of instructions and
told me to report the murder of Joe
Robedeanx, a Frenchman who had
been murdered a few minutes before in
the French quarter, and then carefully
placed my beloved "papers" in his
pocket, without a word of explanation.
Three hours later I handed him a
very carefully written report of the
murder, giving all of the- details,
which would have filled two columns,
preceded by my own "scare heads" in
six sections, giving all of the principal
facts in short sentences. Next morning
I found that my report had been
"killed" at the "enacting clause," for
the report appeared in an article about
two inches long under a small head,
"Foully Murdered," with all tho rest
of my "scare heads" printed, word for
word, exactly as I ha 1 written them, as
the body of the item. Not a word of the
report appeared.
It was a beautiful Christmas morn
ing, but I will never forget my feelings
as I read that little item. I felt utterly
crushed, and if I had had my letters
Mr. McCullagh would never have seen
me again. I wandered around the hotel
corridors until time to report, when I
presented myself before "Little Mack"
and asked for the return of the letters.
To my unspeakable surprise and intense
delight he pave me an immediate as
signment for special work, handed me a
huge bundle wrapped iu wrappirg-'pa1
per, and while holding this package,
the contents of which were unknown to
me, he proceeded to give me instruc
tions and detail all of my failings in
blunt but very lucid sentences, wind
ing up like the crack of a whip with,
"Put those clothes on and report for
duty in one hour. " My head was actu
ally swimming when I left the room.
The package contained a complete
outfit, including shoes, shirt, under
wear, collar, tie and one of the best
fitting suits I ever wore, tho total cost
of which could not have been much less
than $50.
I never saw my letters again, but
when I left, two years later, he wrote
me the best recommendation I ever re
ceived and was always ready to say a
good word by wire if it was requested.

Among Missouri Strawberries.
E. B. Branch has returned after
spending a few days in the strawberry
country of Missouri cantering around
the towns of Carthage. Nevada and
Sarcoxie. Berries occupy the same
position in that country that corn
does in Nebraska. The harvest is now
at its height and some idea of what
that means may be gathered from Mr.
Branch's statement that eighteen cars
were loaded with strawberries at
Sarcoxie alone on Saturday, and on
Monday they expected to send out
thirty. At night it is a strange sight
to see the camp fires of the pickers
burning in every direction. In the
vicinity of Sarcoxie it is said there
are 20,000 pickers, the most of them
in camps. These people earn all the
way from 50 cents to $1.50 per day, the
price for picking being li cents per
box.
Mr. Branch is of opinion thai the
crop is a paying one as there are
many evidences of prosperity to be
observed. Carthage especially struck
him as being one of the finest little
cities he had ever visited. They have
jusVcompleted a $100,000 court house
and the roads leading out into the
country are macadamized and kept in
splendid condition. Omaha Bee.
A Dog Story.
There is a dog at Paris, Tex., that
can tell the time of day and call his
master for breakfast every morning.
He belongs to H. C. Peterson, a work
man of the cottonseed mill at Paris.
It is Nick's duty, besides waking his
master in the morning, to take his
dinner to him in u littlo pail every
day. Should Mrs. Peterson by any
mischance overlook the matter, the
dog is Bute to remind her in proper
time by bringing tho pail to her
and urging her to fill it. At first it
was supposed to be the dog's intuition
which enabled him to know the hour,
but be has many times been seen
watching the clock, and once, when
Mr 8. Peterson set the hands ahead to
test the matter, Nick brought the
dinner pail promptly on the stroke of
12, although in reality it was only 11
o'clock. Kansas Farmer.

Tb Beggars of Italy.
"Bicycling Through the Dolomites;"
In The Century, is an account of Colonel
George E. Waring 'a European trip.
Concerning mendicancy in Italy, Col
onel Waring writes: Perhaps there is
no better index to the good or bad con
dition of the working people of a coun
try than is afforded by the number of
beggars one meets on tbe road- Vhe
poles set up at the border of AtQtria,
with their spiral stripes of yellow and
black, do not mark the line between It
and Italy much more clearly than does
the advent of the beggar the moment
the line is crossed. In Austrian Tyrol
there are virtually no beggars. On the
Italian side, even well dressed people in
the fields will leave their work to beg
coppers from the passing traveler.
One day, in the upper IiinthaL a cou
ple of bright looking, rosy faced chil
dren ran after us, asking for kreutzers.
"Mawknix" upbraided them for such a
shameful act, and they slunk away. He
spoke of this with much indignation to
a neighbor, who said their whole iam
ily were away in tbe fields at work, or
they would not have dared to beg, and
that he would see that they were well
spanked when their mother came home
at night. Nuns and a few favored crip
ples -sometimes ask alms at the doors of
the churches in the larger towns, and
the poor box is always found inside,
but the peasantry and the churches take
care of their own poor, so that tbe vice
of beggary is unknown among them.
In Italy, on the other hand, it is ob
vious that special conditions of deform'
ity are artificially produced. Both legs
broken and badly reset in childhood
constitute a good source of income foi
life, and anything that appeals to sym
pathy is made the occasion for cultivat
ing a very mistaken and mischievous
charity.
She Never Kissed.
'I reckon if I wus to ketch n.y daugh
ter kissin of a man I'd just aatchelly
cut him into mince meat ground fine.
said the old man from the swamps of
the Bracken hills.
"Then your daughter won't kiss the
boys?" ventured a. Dover youth with
spectacles.
"Well, I reckon not, young man,"
and the old man gave him look that
dazzled his specs.
"But ah, yon know, some girls
who are engaged you know some
times kiss their their boys you
know and it's all right and proper
and"
The old man looked at him real hard.
and, after watching the youth wilt like
a tobacco leaf in an August sun, than
dered out, "Well, my daughter never
kissed a livin man, not even her pap
ner a poodle dog, ner a cat, ner nothin. "
"But there's no harm and why er
why er?" stammered the brave
youth.
"Well, I reckon the most principalist
reson why my daughter never kissed
nothin is that I never had any daugh
ter."
, . And the thoughtful silence of the
young man was so dense that you could
hear the price of farm lands drop quiet
ly, drop by drop, while the farm prod
ucts hanging in the tobacco shed tier

Constantinople's Beauty.
No one ever neared Constantinople
without being struck by its marvelous
beauty. Mrs. Max Muller, in "Letters
From Constantinople," thus describes
it:
"Under all lights and at all hours
the view of Constantinople from the
Marmora is unique in loveliness. The
gentle outlines of tbe low hills, the va
ried colors, the magnificent buildings
form a whole, combining in one the
beauties of Stockholm, Venice and the
bay of Naples. When lit up by sun
shine, tho varieties of color are dazzling.
The eye rests on mosque after mosque,
with their snow white minarets, in
sharp contrast to the almost black cy
presses that mark the small, unused
burial grounds surrounding each mosque
or the vast cities of the dead at Scutari,
beyond Pera, and outside the old city
walls. The roofs of most Turkish houses
are a rich brown, while large plane
trees, with their bright green leaves.
stand in every garden, and over all is a
sky so blue that after a sojourn of sev
eral weeks one longs for the contrast of
English clouds. "
The Political Handkerchief:
There has just been sold by auction
in France the complete set of an old
newspaper which was probably unique.
It was called the Mouchoir de Poche
Politique (Political Pocket Handker
chief) and was published in 1831.
The proprietors hit upon the idea of
printing it on cheap cotton stuff for the
purpose of evading the high paper duty.
The complete collection consisted of 144
numbers just a gross of pocket hand
kerchiefs for it is evident from the
title that the publishers believed the
newspaper would serve two purposes.
The price was S pence 3 shillings
per dozen not a high price to pay for
news, articles, theatrical criticisms and
a pocket handkerchief combined.
Unfortunately the cotton required too
much ink, and the scheme had to be
abandoned. London Globe.

It is something of a disgrace to Can

ers must commit the same frand.

THE UTTLE OLD SH0sL
It Is only a tiny shoe
That she touches with tender oare,
A cunning little bit of a thing
That a baby used to wear.
And she gently raises it to her lips
And lovingly holds it there.
It Is worn and faded and old.
But it brings up the happy past.
She sadly sighs aa she thinks of ibe Joys
That were too sweet to last.
In fancy she sees a little child
As it gambols upon the floor.
An elflike creature with golden hair
Is cooing a baby song onoe more,
And a tear drops down on the tiny shoe
That the beautiful dream child wore.
"Ah, well." she sighs to herself,
" 'Tis, alas, the will of the fates!
I used to be able to wear this Bhoe,
But now I take number eights."

ANIMALS AND MUSIC.
A Strange Experiment Blade In a Zoolog
ical Garden,
A violinist was playing various airs
before tbe cages of the animals. Tho
bow, which had been passing backward
and forward half drowsily, took up a
gait that would have distanced one of
the deer in the pen by the buffaloes'
yard. Then there was a transformation
scene in the home of the lioness as rap
id and as complete as that of the tune.
The cubs went into ecstacies. They roll
ed about, jumped, fell over one another,
raced over their mother's recumbent
body, and danced unrebuked on her
head. They ceased their tantrums only
with the ceasing of the music
Then they gathered at the front bars
of the cage again and silently and pa
thetically pleaded for more. Their plea
was successful, and in response to the
delicate flattery conveyed by their man
ner the player gave the lullaby once
more. They simply sat.and listened to
it as silently as they had at the first.
The transition to the jig music was
onoe more made speedily. The first note
of the lively air had barely left the vio
lin before its riotous contagion had
once more caught the cubs. They rol
licked and rolled about and stopped on
ly when the professor, fearing to tire
their little limbs, took his bow from
his fiddle and told them they had danced
enough for debutantes.
The hyena is an uncanny brute. His
very appearance goes a great way to
ward bearing out charges of graveyard
robbery brought against him. He has
no music in his soul nor room for any.
Sweet sounds are to him so antipodal to
everything in his nature that they in
spire him with nothing but fear, and
the most abject fear at that. When Pro
fessor Baker tried to interest the two
skulking hyenas iu his , performance on
the violin, they began trembling visibly
at the first note's utterance, and then as
the musio swelled they sought the far
thermost side of their prison and tried
their best to squeeze their ungainly bod
ies through the bars to escape the mel
ody. Philadelphia Times.
Herole Treatment of Patients.
The hospital physician should be a
man of the most thorough methods and
the most extreme conservatism. . He
should be chosen as much for his prac
tical good sense as for his skill in diag
nosing disease. He 6hould be a man
with intuitions and ought to bo able to
decide almost at a glance whether a pa
tient is Buffering from brain trouble or
alcoholism.
There have been of late a great many
Instances where this mistake has been
made, and it is by no means creditable
to the hospital authorities when such
blunders are made.
One of the latest exploits of a hospi
tal doctor was to order a cold bath for a
consumptive patient who showed some
symptoms of hysteria. Shortly after the
bath the woman died. Just why a doc
tor should order such treatment com
mon sense as well as the medical pro
fession would like very much to know.
Hospitals are in the main supported
by the people, and the people have a
right to good treatment and courtesy at
the hands of those who are put in
charge of such institutions. Failing to
receive this, the public has also the
right to demand an investigation of the
situation and to demand the punish
ment of those who are guilty of such
unprofessional and inhuman conduct
and that their places be filled by those
who are more intelligent and better fit
ted for the duties and responsibilities of
such a place. New York Ledger.
Chance Cor Success la Large Cities.
In solving ' 'Problems of Young Men"
Edward W. Bok, in The Ladies' Home
Journal, replying to an inquirer, con
tends that opportunities for promotion
(in business) are more numerous in
large cities than in smaller communi
ties, but they are not better. "There
are more chances in the larger cities,
but likewise there are more applicants
for the chances. Salaries may be high
er in the centers, but so, too, is the cost
of living. Things always equalize them
selves. To my way of thinking, a mod
erate business success in a small com
munity means more to a man in point
of living and absolute satisfaction than
a greater success in a larger city."
