NOTICK.

All accounts are payable to either C.
S. Polk or J E. Marshall.
JANUARY thaws are starting in
early this winter. About two or three
days of winter is all that Nebraska
can Bfford at a time.
Lieutenant IIohson must have
enjoyed his Denver visit very much.
He was not besieged by a crowd of
girls and kissed until he was sick.
No moke winter weather can be ex
pected until after the ground hog
comes out and takes a look at his
shadow on February 2. Wait for him
The awards of permiums and
distribution of medals of the Trans-
misslssippi exposition have not yet
been completed and the Iowa papers
are makiDg sme strong kicks. The
live stock awards were made October
21 and have not yet been made public.
This is hard to understand. But
there are things in connection with
the exposition that outside people
cannot see through.
The Tribune is wasting a lot of
valuable (V) space oyer Senator-elect
W. H. Newell. Judge Newell has not
served the county in any capacity for
twenty years, and there was nothing
in his career of office holding at that
time to warrant any insinuation that
he would not prove true to any trust
reposed in him. If the Tribune had
any disposition to be fair, it would not
criticise a man for what he has not
done or had an opportunity to do, but
might consistently wait until the sen
ator had had an opportunity to servo
his constituents. But e do not under
stand the cause of such anxiety to the
course to be pursued by Judge Newell.
There are other senators and repre
sentatives it this great state who will
have an opportunity to vote for a
United States senator, and if the bur
den for each one of these will rest as
heavily upon the Tribune and its ed
itor, as does the course of Judge
Newell, we fear that they will not be
able long to withstand the strain.
Judge Newell was a McKinley repub
lican, and yet he probably would have
voted for Senator Manderson, had his
vote been sufficient to have made him
the nominee of the party. The judge
has never attempted to mislead his
party or his friends, and is frank to
state bis position on any subject of
public interest to any one who will
frankly ask it, but whether he is for
Hay ward or Thompson or somebody
else, is his business, and he alone will
have to answer to his constituents. for
his acts, unless the Tribune is re
sponsible for the judge's election, and
feels called upon to t-erve as a kind of
foster father for the party in the com
ing session. The Tribune's peculiar
independence is of that character that
condemns unheard, those who do not
consult it-t political oracle. If the
Tribune will state its preference for
United States senator, we are sure
Senator Newell will give its wishes
very careful consideration.
AS TO PENSIONING SOLDIERS.
The report of Pension Commissioner
Evans shows a large increase in the
number on the rolls and gives little
reason to believe that this will not
continue for a long time to come, there
being according to his estimate 200,
000 union veterans who have not yet
received any pensions and more than
that number of Spanish war soldiers
who will file applications later, says
the Beatrice Express. Besides these
there is an army of women who have
married old soldiers for the purpose of
succeeding them on the pension rolls,
and who appear as fast as the veterans
are mustered out to file their claims,
or who having married a second or
third time go back and collect arrears
for the benefit of shiftless or greedy
husbands who had nothing whatever
to do with the war. He illustrates the
workings of the system in one way by
a case taken from the records of the
department.
"Claim No. , , captain in
company , regiment, volun
teer infantry, was honorably dis
charged. In 1871 this captain died.
He was not a pensioner, and never had
filed a claim for pension. Hia widow
remained a widow until March 3, 1887,
when Bhe remarried, having filed no
claim, and, having remarried, had no
pensionable status. In 1893, five years
after the act of June 7, 1888, had
passed, six years after her marriage,
and twenty-two years after the death
of her soldier husband, she files her
claim for penslon'as a widow, from the
date of the death of her soldier hus
band in 1871 to the date of her remar
riage in 1887 Bixteon years and gets
nearly $4,000, practically for the use
and benefit of the second husband."
Every one concedes that the veter
ans should be placed upon, the rolls as
fast as they need aid or ask for asslbt-
8uo, and no one objects to their
wives, who shared with them the
anxieties, privations aud distress of
the war period, taking their places
when they have passed away; but why
a woman who lies in wait for an old
soldier and marries him in his last
days, or a widow who waits twenty-
two years after the death of a soldier
husband, should be paid a pension for
the benefit of another man can scarcely
b3 explained.
An AflKNT of a German steamthip
line was in California the other day.
studying conditions with a view of
establishing a trans-pacific line of
German steamships with which to
share in the increase of American
commerce with the Orient. He
causually remarked just to impress
the people with whom he was in con
versation that the tonnage of the
ships in his line was greater than that
in the navy of the United States. The
tonnHge of that one line was more
than one quarter hs large as the total
tonnage under the American flag in
the foreign trade. It it to be assumed,
for a moment, that individual or even
corporate effort in thu United Stat s
is equnl to the trtsk i f wresting thu
carrying of American commerce now
controlled by such a corporation as
that a corporal o , by the way re
ceiving a subsidy from the Herman
government exceeding a million dol
lars a year?
Colonel Brown of the Nebraska
City Press jumped on Judge Ilamsey
the other d ly and claims the judge is
partial, in that he holds more court in
Cass than in Otoe county, and finds
fault because court was adjourned at
Nebraska City sine die. What's the
matter with Colonel Brown? Is it pos
sible that he is guilty of some heinous
offense and is anxious for Judge Ram
sey to go down and receive his plea of
"guilty," and thus at once permit the
colonel to cultivate a more intimate
acquaintance with Warden Leideigh
at Lincoln? Or does ho still retain
the same old grudge against Judge
Ramsey which he contracted some
three years ago, and now, having an
opportunity to even up, desires so to
do by giving the judge the small pox?
Or is it because Colonel Brown leels
unsafe in person and property since
the change on the bench made three
years ago, and for this wants Judge
Ramsey always near him.

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Pac km t the Ilattle of Santiago de
Cuba were all Heroes, Their Heroic Ef
forts in Getting Ammunition and Rations
to the Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago do Cuba, on
July 23, says: "We all had diarrhoea
in more less violent form, and when
we landed we 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,1
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 the indirect savior of our army,
for if the packere had been unable to '
work there would have been no way
:f getting supplies to ihe front. There
were no roads that a wagon train
could u-e. My comrade and myself
had thf good fortune tol y in a sup
ply of tois medicine for our puck-train
before we left Tampa, and I know in
four cases it absolutely saved life."

manufacturers of this medicine, the

$600. Property valued at $30 and
identified as taken from the store was
found in their possession.
