IN 1901 Detroit will hold an exposi tion to celebrate its two hundredth anniversary as a trading post. Although Lieutenant Hobson is an entertaining conversationalist, he dce9n't talk much. He has other uses for his mouth. ' The Spanish-American war is a thing of the past, but the good service of the volunteer soldier will ever be fresh in the memory of the American people. Plattsmouth merchants enjoyed the best Christmas trade last week they have had for many years, which is conclusive evidence that prosperity has cone to stay. 1 Mil Nebraska State Press apocia tin . wiii met at Omaha January 24 . It .vill be the first meeting r,ror VM in that city, and there is that it will be a record ik - r ''n "ji-'rua particulars. ADViiN'Trs.jtS Americans will now lin'o n? iiy ric-.v Ee"u in which to seek thir fort-.inoa.

If all nations were as indifferent to the growth or decline of their ship ping in the foreign trade as the United State are, then our humiliating :posi tion on the seas might be laid to the door of the people themselves but in dividual effort cannot equal national effect. In 1800 the population of the United States was 5,300,000, and we had a for eign commerce valued at $162,000,000 inclusive of both imports and exports At that tfme the tonnage under the American flag engaging in that trade amounted to 667,000 tons within less than 75,000 tons of being as large a9 our tonnage in the foreign trade is to day. Our tonnage in the foreign trade almost a century ago was eight-ninths as large as it is today, and yet, during the same time our foreign commerce has increased more than eleven times what it was a century ago. ATTENTION AND NEGLECT. The repressive measures adopted by the mother country while the United States were colonies prevented the growth of our shipping, although our ships were concedediy superior in many points to the best that were built abroad. But our people were filled with onergy and vigor. Enterprise was the breath of their life. They would not brook the oppression which prevented the use of native ships in which to carry abroad native pro ducts, or to bring home our purchases. We rebelled. We were still more rigorously treated, the oppression be came even more drastic, inen tne war, and independece. It was natural, with such a preface, for the subsequent story to show that the most sedulous care was exercised by congress in see- ng to it that our marine increased, as it ought to do. The result of that care ul ucneressional attention created con- 'ernstion among our rivals, while tirj"yto our own people.

In our zenith more than nine-tenths of our sbir: ing was carried under our own flVg eleven-twelfths, in fact. From the time we felt able to "go it alone," from that moment our foreign carrying has steadily increased under foreign flags, and steadily diminished under our own, with the result that today only one-eleventh of our foreign commerce is carried in our own ships. The time is again ripe for renewed national attention. For broken limbs, chilblains, burnB, scalds, bruised shins, sore throat, and sores of every kind, apply Ballard's Snow Liniment.

Nothing could be more discouraging to those advocates of free silver coin age who base sheir loyalty to silver on the assumption of the scarcity of gold, says Tie Times-Herald, than tho marvelo.s increase in the stock of gold in the United States during the last two years and a half, as shown in the following table: Stock of gold in the U. S July 1. $.V57.475.00O July 1. 18UT 6yC.270.000 Jan. 1. 1898 745.245.000 July 1, 18U8 K6I.514.000 Deo. 1.

Of the stock of gold in the United States Dec. 1, 1898, $059,100,000 was in circulation and $26G,000,0C0 in coin or bulllan in the treasury. In July, 1898, the gold in circulation in the United States wat $454,905,064. So there has been an increase of over $200,000,000 of the yellow metal where it does the most good to the greatest number. This is one of the reasons why the peop'e of the United States ought to be so happy this glorious Christmas morning. HAWAIIAN POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS. Among the recommendations made bv the Hawaiian commission is the abolition of the Hawaiian postal sav ings banks. This recommendation should be negatived by congress. The experiment inaugurated in Hawaii has proved tuccessful and no valid reason can bo pres-ented for remanding the people of the islands to the private banking concerns that want to make a profit out of savings deposits, says the Bee. While there will be nothing to hinder the establishment of private savings banks under the proposed ter ritorial gomernment, it may be safely asserted that the people of Hawaii who have been w iilin to entrust their sav ings to the safe keeping of the un- certafn republic of Hawaii will prefer to trust the Uniten States government rather than any private indivinual or corporation. The very fact that pos tal savings banks have been success fully managed by an unstable govern ment in a couutry whose people are mostly poor affords a Btrong argument, not only for their retention, but also for the establishment of postal savings banks en a similar plan in the United States. Nothing that congress could qo would give more universal satisfaction to the masses than the organization of postal savings depositories as an aux- iliary to the postoffice at least at the principal industrial centers. INFORMATION AND OPINION. Just how the late colonel of the Third Nebraska slid in and out of New York without pressing pilms with Boss Croker is explained. Mr. Bryan was chaperoned by a Dr. Girdner, president of the Society for the Sup pression of Noise. The story that Mr. Bryan became an active member needs no denial. T. Uurton Kinraide, a iioston in ventor, who was an iatimate acquaint ance of John W. Keely, has, at the solicitation'of Mrs. Keely, taken up the work of the great inventor, and wili continue the experiments. He has gone to Philadelphia to consult with the directors of the motor company. Kinraide is thirty-eight years of age, a native of New Brunswick, and has in vented numerous electrical appliances. He was a confidant of Keely, and, it is said, knows Keely's secret of per petual motion, and will work It out at his laboratory. it- Two of the richest men in Montana W. A. Clark and Marcus Daly are competing for a senatorsbip in Mon tana this term. Mr. Clark who has had a burning senatorial ambition for years, is expected to open a large bar rel, but will have to buck against an equal financial force wielded by Mr, Daly, who is sworn to defeat hia long time ioe. Merchants in Helena are looking forward to a profitable season. as many state legislators are expected to earn more than their salaries. Thomas J. Wellt, ex-supreme judge of the state of Illinois, landed in Bour bon, Ind. , two years ago, and at once began to woo Mrs. Jeasie Chaplain. A marriage soon followed, but when the honeymoon was over "Uncle Tom" be gan visiting New York, Washington and other points without his wife. A woman in Chicago figured in the case. Mrs. Wells began divorce proceedings, and has just been granted a divorce, $23,000 in government bonds and $2,000 in cash. Mrs. Wells has been married five times and her husband three. E. G. Chamberlain has been re elected secretary of a Goshen, Ind., lodge of Masons, having served fifty- three years in that capacity in the same lodge, a record which has never been attained by another living mem ber of any lodge. Fifty thousand people started for the Klondike last year, and only 30,000 arrived. Each man spent a minimum of $500 in getting there or in failing to do so, says the Njw York Tribune. The cost was, therefore, $25,000,000, while the returns were not much more $10,000,000. If the region is to be ex ploited for all it is worth, much over scientific methods will have to be adopted. Enterprise and capital are only just beginning to learn the diffi culties which lie before them in un locking that mighty treasurebouse. guarded by winter and the spirit that bideth by himself in the land of mist and enow; but they will find out all about them in due time. I RAILROAD NOTES AND PERSONALS From Monday's Daily, It is expected that tho new time card, which goes into effect on the Durlington January 1, will rankoeomo important changes in the trains. Nos. 14 and 4, which arrive here at 9:35 and 10:24 a. m.,itis said, will bo consolidated into oue train and arrive here about 10. Nos. 1 and 6 will run by the way of Council Oliitld as the new fast mail. No. 1 goes west at 11:10 p. ra. and No. 6 goes east at 7:12 a. m. Will Carr, formerly of this city, was down from Omaha yesterday visiting his mother, Mrs. C. S. Twiss. "Billy" is climbing up in railroad circles, be ing at the present time traveling freight agent for the Erie road, with headquarters at Omaha. L. ft. Karnes, the night operator at the Burlington depot, was probably the happiest man in town yesterday. When asked what was the cause of the broad smile he was wearing, he produced a nne eDony cane, with a gold head, upon which was engraved, 'From the B. & M. Conductors." Sat urday night when Conductor J. N. Dority went into the station to get his orders, he left a package and told Mr. Karnes to examine it at his leisure. Attached to the package was the fol lowing explanatory letter: The undersigned friends wishing to make our friend, L. E. Karnes, a small Christmas present for his many acts of kindness to us in past years, take this method of doing so by presenting him with this small token of our regard, hoping it will be something to lean upon when he is old Goodbye.

Richeson W. Woodruff Ed Christian F. Crosby J. A. Pexton Leslie Moore M. Adams W. C. McDermond J. N. Dority replied in the following To my many friends while receiving this beauti ful canejSyour token of regard, you have un doubtedly bestowed upon me much more than I deserve, but while accepting you have touched a most tender chord. This I shall ever cherish in the many years to come, when bowed down with age and gray hairs. While we may be many miles apart and some have passed beyond the great divide, I assure you that this most valued token and its donors will ever be fresh within my memory and in my declining years when neces sary to lean upon this staff for my support up the hill, that my friends have fulfilled one of God's noblest commands, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Many thanks to you one and all. Dave Hawksworth, of the office of the superintendent of mo'ive power, returned last evening from a business trip to Pittsburg. A train of thirty cars r;ased through on the Burlington Saturday evening earring 1,000 Staver buggies, the cost of which was $50,000. They were for Lininger & Metcaef of Omaha. This is said to be the largest ship ment of buggies ever made. Something: to Know.

At the begining it was difficult to find a little girl who was not making a collection of coupons, but when they found they were not "in it" they turned them over to their best friend who stood a show tu win the prize. There were only three lots of coupons turned in and were as follows: Stanfield Jones 3,107 Helen Egenberger 2,736 Hazel Dovey? 1.240 Stanfield Jones was the happiest lit tle miss in the city when she learned she had drawn the stove and no less elated was her grandfather, W. D, Jones, who says that the friends who assisted little Miss Stanfield in secur ing the coveted prize, will ever be re membered. F. P Brown, M. Spangler and Z. T. Brown acted as judges in the contest. Remembered Their Instructor. The members of Mrs. B. M. Stouten- borough's Bible class, which is com posed of young married ladies and which meets at her home each week, presented her with a Christmas gift last Saturday evening in the form of a beautiful china tea set. She was de coyed away from home a few moments and during her absence Mrs. F. D. Lehnhoff and Mrs. August Reichackle entered the house and placed the set on the table and quietly went away. The Boys' History class a'so remem bered :Mrs. btouten borough with a silver sealing stamp.

From a letter which Hiram llbino' recently wrote to a friend in this city, ! the following interesting extracts a-o taken: "The transports Roumanian an Obdam leave this afternoon with tli Sixth Missouri regiment on board bound for Juan pier in the harbor Havana where they will dischatg freight and passengers. It ith vessel are In excellent snupe, and everything made ready for the comfort of th Doys. fco far no orders have been je sued to us, but it is thought that we will be leaving before the Christmas carols are heard. It is thought w will leave Christmas morniug. Th Third Nebraska Y. M. C. A. has hue taken down, and also the First Texa regimental Y. M. C. A. has been re moved. I will go with tho Firs brigade on board the transport Mich igan. This vessel is a small one, bu has good speed. I will be in Cuba some time before the J htrd iNe braska." In another portion of his letter speaking about a foot ball game be tween the Third Nebraska regimen and the Second Louisiana, he says "The Third Nebraska and Secon Louisiana rogiments came togothe yesterday in a foot ball game, and Ne braska won out. This is the secon game the Nebraska boys have wo from Louisiana. That is one gam which I dislike. Why is it that 6om ladies will enjoy a good foot ball gam and at the samo lime think a prize fight is too rough? When a man has a tin appratus around his ankles and rubber protector for his nose and mouth, it looks to me as though h was going into something tha might hurt him. i ou ought to see the latest foot ball uniform priz fighters can't t uch them."

Solomon Foltz. an old and respected farmer near Weeping Water,died very suddenly Friday of apoplexy. He got out of bed in the morning and washed himself as usual and sat down on a chair. In a few minutes he fell over and a physician was called. Death had marked a victim, however, and at 12:30 he died. Mr. Foltz was eighty two years old and an old settler. He located at Weeping Water over forty years ago and settled on the farm where he died three and a half miies northeast of this city. 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 comlort and relief in advanced stages of these diseases and to usually cure early stages. It is certainly worth trying by those afllicted or threatened with these dread diseases, Too Many Comfortables for Comfort at Herold's.
