The city council of Omaha has de
cided not to oust the police board un
til the supreme court acts on Judge
Scott's ruling in the matter. It is
hinted by some people that the. judge
took this opportunity to square him
self with the Bee editor, when he de
cided the appointment of the po
lice commission by the governor to be
unconstitutional. However, the su
preme court's findings may disabuse
their minds of this idea.
The first really inferior appoint
ment of McKinley, of general public
interest, was that of McKenna, whom
he named for associate justice of the
supreme court. McKenna seems to bo
a poor lawyer with no particular
standing other than that of being on
personal friendly terms with the presi
dent. It is to be hoped the senate
may refuse to confirm the nomination
in order that the personel of tha court
of last resort may be raised rather
than lowered.

REPORTS from Louisiana indicate
that the past season has been a pro

The crop has been slightly in excess

history of the state. The tonnage
of grain was below the average, but

SHORT SIGHTED.
Nothing can be more bhort-siphtod
than tho opposition to tho annexation
of Hawaii by tho beet sugar men or
tho sugar boot farmers on the supposi
tion that it would in any way increase
tho competition against their product,
says tho Stato Journal. In the first
place there is so much tarifTuncerlain
ty in this country owing to tho even
balance of tho protection and anti-pro-t
ction parties that to keep Hawaii
and Cuba forever out of tho union on
the supposition that tho protection
will always be sufficient to keep out
competition of their products, is hard
ly a good business proposition.
It is well known that the wages in
Hawaii under a nativo government
or unilor a government that has no
inherent strength, is down to the
oriental low water mark. Only a few
cents a day is paid tho servile labor
that works sugar plantations.
But give her a strong government,
protected by the stars and stripes and
the superior class of labor-that will
soon put a stop to this sort of thing
and then the competition of the cane
sugar of Hawaii and tho beet sugar of
Nebraska will bo an empty dream. It
will not bo so dangerous as the com
petition ia now, even if tho sugars
wore mado io pay a duty. The duty
doe-, not begin to amount to so much
ot a tax on the Hawaiian sugar

Edgar Howard, tho l'apillion popo

prietor of the World-Herald ever got
the benefit of the stealings of Bolln
and Hartley he should be sent to the
penitentiary to keep those embezzlers
company, remarks the Omaha Bee.
As the charges, repeatedly mado. that
the World-Herald man not only had a
credit slip for stolen citv money in the
municipal cash drawer, but also se
cured financial accommodations by
favor of the embezzling state treas
urer, Edgar Howard has no excuse
for longer delaying calling upon the
popocratic attorney general to get
after this aecesf-ories to the crime.

Some timo ago a well known explorer
was traveling in the interior of Queens
land, Australia, where he met many
natives who had never seen a whito man
before.
Ono day a crowd of natives was in
the white man's camp carefully inspect
ing the explorer and lii.s baggage when
a newspaper happened to drop out of
his pocket. I
Tho natives unfolded and spread it'
out on the ground. They decided that it
must bo an articles of wearing npparel,
and ono of them tried it en. lie wrap
ped it round his shoulders like a shawl
and sat down 011 tho ground, arranging
his covering tins way and that and
watching tho faces of the crowd to Heo

ment, covered as it was with many
thousands of curious murks.
Presently, however, an accident hap
pened, wnile the ravage was rearrang
ing his shawl and trying to bring the
corners together in front of him tho gar
ment began to tear at the nape of his
nack. A howl from tho crowd called at
tention to the disaster. The blanket, or
whatever it was, was evidently mado of
the poorest sort of material.
The savage took his covering off, ex
amined tho mischief he had wrought,
made tho tear a little longer and then
with his uger poked a hole through
tho paper.
That settled tho fact that the article
was worthless. The newspaper sudden

BREAKFAST CEREALS.
They Contain Kssential Klments For Per
fect Nourinluiient of tlio I'.ody.
"Cereals and fruits should form the
base of breakfast foods," writes Mrs.
S. T. Rorer on "Breakfast Cereals and
Fruits" in her cooking lesson in Tho
Ladies' Home Journal. "They will sup
port muscular action, preserve the heat
of the body and strengthen the brain in
its nervous activity. Whole or steel cut
oats and whole wheat, from which our
nineteenth century bread should be
made, contain the essential elements for
the perfect nourishment of tho human
body. The great objection to cereal
foods is their difficulty of digestion, not
from any fault of the foods, but, first,
from lack of time in cooking and, second,
from lack of proper mastication. Haw
starches are indigestible. The first step,
then, toward the digestion of starches
is over the fire. Each little cell must be
ruptured, and for this long and careful
cooking is required. The second step to
the digestion of starches is in the
mouth. They are there converted from
the insoluble starch to soluble sugar.
If they are swallowed quickly, without
mastication, they miss this digestion,
entering the stomach as strangers. This
organ not being prepared to receive
them, they are cast out into the email
intestines to be entirely instead of part
ly digested. This organ, now compelled
to do, in addition to its own duties, the
work of the mouth, soon beco nes over
taxed, and we have, as a result, tho
disease most common in this country-
intestinal indigestion.
"Of the breakfast cereals steel cut
oats head the list. Any of tho wheat
germ preparations are good. After these
come the rolled wheat and barley and
rice preparations. All theso foods, how
ever, must be thoroughly cooked and
eaten without sugar. "
Why Be Left the Stajc.
There is in Philadelphia a man who
abandoned the theatrical profession be
cause he could not lift Fanny Daven
port, lie was a member of one cf the
local stock companies about 20 years
ago, when Aliss Davenport came to
Philadelphia with one of tho men of
her company sick. Sho applied to the
manager of the theater in which the
young man referred to was employed
for some one to take the sick man's
place, and as the young actor was not
in the cast of the play then running his
services were loaned to Miss Davenport.
He was cast for the part of CaiusLucins
in "Cymbeline, " and the business of
the part required that he should take
Miss Davenport in his arms and carry
her off the stage. The lady weighed
considerably more than he did, and
when he attempted to pick her up he
found that his strength was not equal
to the task. His struggles caused the
audience to laugh, and that spoiled a
good scene. He was so humiliated that
he left the profession after that engage

ANCIENT STUTTGART.
Postal nl Traveling Accommodations of

The post relations of ancient Stuttgart
were unpretentious. Tlie two maid
'scrvants of tho postmaster distributed
through the city the daily letters, which
they carried in the same basket with the
family marketing. Letters were carried
out of the city by postilions. There was
a number of couriers, and as a surety
against mistakes there hung in the post
ofiice, beside the curious mail bags, a
huge whip, with which, when the com
mission had been given to the courier, a
powerful blow fur the strengthening of
his memory was dealt him.
Coaches and post wagons were inno

high, clumsy wooden box was secured
by thick leathern straps, and in the
cavernous bottom were confined together

hill, over ruts and rocks, tho cumbrous
vehicle rattled on its way, the hapless
travelers being ever on tho defensive
against tho assaults of tumbling boxes
and bundles. And then tho weary slow
ness of the wayl Formerly the journey
from Stuttgart to Tubingen was made
in 12 hours. The same journey is now
made in four hours. The postilions
alighted to tako refreshments when it
pleased them, and one traveler has left
a dismal record of a journey that ho
once made, during which the driver
took tho iiorses from the carriage and
attached them to a hay wagon that had
been left mired in the mud. The man
drove the wagon into the next village,
and when there he joined the grateful
neighbors in a carousal, while the tir- J
