" Even the newspapers of Omaha
haven't the nerve to boom the 1899
exposition very heard. And thev are
pretty long on nerve, too. The prop
osition to hold another exposition is
the rankest thing ever heard of, be
cause it could not possibly benefi
anyone but Omaha and were it largely
patronized would be very detrimental
to other towns.
In each of the eight years preceding
the war of 1812-15, our tonnage in the
foreign trade, under our own flag, was
greater than it was during the fiscal
year of 1S9S. To think that ninety
years we had cs large a shipping
under our flag on the sea as we have
today ! The value of the nation's for
eign commerce has increased about
twenty-fold during the past ninety
years, but the quantity has increased
tar greater. jNotwitnstanuing, our
shipping in our own foreign trade
today is less than it was ninety years
ago.
THE CUBAN ANNEXATIONISTS.
The assurance given bv President
McKinley that the promise of the
United States that Cuba should have
an indepandent government shall be
carried out has not wholly discouraged
the annexationists, says the Omaha
Bee. One of the organs of this ele
ment, the Philadelphia Inquirer, de
clares that Cuba must be annexed.
".Let congress take the commonsense
view," says that paper. "According
to the president himself, the war was
justified as one of self preservation on
our own part and our interests can
only be preserved by maintaining
control over the island. Cuba will
have far greater freedom and Inde
pendence as a part of the United
States than as a separate nation con
tinually torn by strife and revolution,
Leave her to herself and it cannot be
long before the 6ame old conditions
will prevail and wo shall have to send
our troops there to do the fighting
all over again. Far better end the
matter now. Cuba's destiny is with
the United States and military occu
pation should be followed by annexa
tion and that annexation, with our
hold upon the island, cm very readily
be arranged for without a resort to
force."
Our Philadelphia contemporary
would fiercely resent any reflection
upon the integrity and honor of this
government, yet it counsels a course
which would place the nation in a
most dishonorable position before the
world and justly deprive us of the re
spect and confidence of the world.
.We are glad to believe that a very
large majority of the American people
are in full accord with the position of
President McKinley.

terrible affair occurred in the
Dunkard settlement near Goshen, Ind.,
early in tbe week, which resulted in
the deatn oi v ernon liigier, only son
of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Bigler. Young
Bigler was persuaded much against:
his will to unite with the Dunkard
church, and last Monday was taken
from a sick bed and baptized In the
icy waters. The shock was so great
that he died the next day from the
results. His parents, who are promi
nent members of the church, insisted
upon, the baptism, and the feeling
among such oi the neighbors as are
not members of the church is very
bitter toward them, and many threats
are being made. Whether the coroner
will take action is a matter that is
now being discussed, but nothing so
far has been done, and just what action
could be taken is a puzzling problem.
Bitter disappointment awaited Wm.
S. White when he marched into the
marriage license clerk's office the
other day at Lancaster, Pa., and asked
for the necessary papers to wed Emma
Knoudt, his step-mother. The woman,
who is 32 years old, was divorced from
his aged father, and White thought it
the proper thing to keep her in the
familv. He himself is 34. The clerk
refused the license on account of the
relationship of the couple, and White
left in an angry mood, muttering that
there were other counties in the state.

PEACE COJVUIISSIONERS FRIENDS
Several Mrmbrri of Iloth Couiiulntus
Have Exchanged Krlrnly Call.
Paris, Dec 11. The United States
peaco commissioners rested today after
tbe long strain of daily conferences
and almost daily sessions with the
Spaniards, J,ho intensity of which they
hardly realized until it was oyer.
Warm personal f rieudshiD and mutual
regard havo arisen between the two
commissions as tho result of their ex
tended controversy at close quarters.
Today several members of both com
missions exchanged calls. The Ameri
can commissioners unofficially in
formed the Spaniards that they would
be glad to have the two commissions
dine together. Ihe reply, which like
the invitation was conve3'ed diplomat
ically through a third party, was
that the Spaniards would be most
pleased, but feared it would bo inad
visable, because it might be miscon
strued at Madrid where already much
feeling existed against the Spanish
commissioners.
Several of the United States com-mi-sioners
were inclined to publish the
text of tho treaty, but Senator Fryo
made a strong plea yesterday for the
observance of courtesy towards the
United States senate and his argu
ments prevailed,
Further details, however, have been
learned as to the wording of tbe treaty
which provides that Cuba is to be re
linquished and that Porto Rico and
the Philippines are to bo ceded. The
Americans are to pay for the repatria
tion of the Spanish troops from all
the colonies. Tbe Spaniards are to
return all prisoners held by tbem.
They are to retain possession of all
military stores and munitions of war
in the Philippines and of such ships as
have not been captured. The com
mercial treaties between the two
nations which tho war ruptured are to
be renewed at the convenience of the
two nations.
The protocol makes nearly GOO type
written pages.
The United States commissioners
have been almost overwhelmed with
offers of dinners in England, prompted
by the desire of prominent English
men to emphasize the Anglo-American
entente, but they will remain in Paris
until the dav before 6ailiner for the
United States. They will make for
mal calls upon President Faure and
high officials here and thank them for
official hospitality. Unofficial hospi
tality to the United States commis
6ioners has been ostentatiously lack
ing in Paris.
BAD FIRE AT ELMWOOD.
Explosion of a Lump Is Supposed to Have
Iteen the Cause
Elmwood was visited by a disastrous
fire Saturday evening. The greater
portion of the citizens were at a re
vival at the Methodist church when
the fire broke out, giving it ample
time to get started. The fire depart
ment and citizens did good work, but
owing to low water in the tank and the
headway of theflames,the fire could not
be checked until four heavily stocked
buildings were consumed. A C.
Wright and E. T. Comer were quite
badly burned about the face and hands
while fighting the flames.
The loss is about as follows: Clem
ents & Co., stock $6,500, building $2,'

No Humbug:,
Foley s Honey and Tar does not
claim to perform miracles. It does
not claim to cure all cases of consump
tion or asthma, but it does claim to
give comfort and relief in advanced
stages of these diseases and to usually
cure early stages. It is certainly
worth trying by those afflicted or
threatened with these dread diseases.
Here is a good one from an exchange:
Plunger Gillett, the Westeran cattle
king, had a ranch which he called
Woodbine. "And now he has gone
where it twineth. "
Without doubt, there is no disease
so common as tbe piles, none more
painful or annoying, or that has been

Over the Hills to the l'oor House
The board of county commissioners
this morning ordered 13on Hart, a
familiar character ou the etroets of
Platt&mouth at frequent intervals
for twenty-five years, to tho
poor farm. Ho had workod as a
farm hand for L-'o Allison and others
and was a good workman when sober,
but this was a condition he never
allowed himself to be in when he had
money. OHlcer Murray picked him
up on the street last night and as he
had no place to go took him to jail.
He said he was unable to work any
longer so the commissioners decided

A CRITICAL TIME!
During the Battle of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic Kf
forts in netting Ammunition and Rations
to the Front Saved the Hay.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 23, says: "We all had diarrhoea
in more less violent form, and when
we landed vre had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and
rush night and day to keep the troops
supplied with amunition and rations,
but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep
our health; in fact, I sincerly believe
that at one critical time this medicine
was tbe indirect savior of our army,
for if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that a wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself
had the good fortune to lay in a sup
ply of this medicine for our pack-train
before we left Tampa, and I know in
four cases it absolutely saved life."
The above letter was written to the
manufacturers of this medicine, the
Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des
Moins, Iowa. For sale by all druggists.

Electric Hitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
erally needed when the languid, ex
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic and alterative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often abated long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malar5al
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
stipation, Dizziness, yield to Electric
Bitters. Fifty cents and $1 bottles at
