A TOWN of 'll.(KK) inhabitants has just been c.iptun d by force of 1,000 Americans That is about the right proportion t-n to one. It is not as bad as lti to 1, anyway. : The democrats of Maryland havo nominated a gold standard democrat for governor. A fow year9 ago Mary land had quite a sprinkling of free sil ver advocates, but they are as scarce now as tho proverbial hen's teeth.

It is hoped, this will prove successful, as the credulous wage workers hnvebeen "skinned'! long enough in largo cities by private labor agencies. The offi ces will be established at Chicago. "( After taking a two weeks' lay -oil from their petty quarreling as to who is getting out tho hot t paper, tho lee and World-Herald aro once more at it. The fuss started over tho reports from S n Francisco in regard to the First regiment and gives promise of being as interesting as any school-boy rag-chewing. . ALL that is nocessary to make the street fair a great success is a laaJer to get the thing started. A number of merchants have spoken favorably of the scheme and expressed them selves as being willing to contribute liberal sums. It would be a splendid advertisement for the city, and every dollar spent would come back to the merchant who gave it, with interest. Push it along. t The following sensible paragraph is taken from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "Representative Land is of In diana is undoubtedly right is his as sertion that 'the west is with the president oq the Philippine question.' The west,except a few of the reaction aries, like Bryan, Stone and Altgold, stands with the administration in the purpose to prosecute the war vigor ously, and establish American author ity all over the islands. These cop perheads have the greater part of the western democracy against them. There will be a savage fight in the democratic convention of 1900 on the expansion issue. Probably the reac tionaries will win in that gathering. Democratic conventions have com mitted eo many follies that nobody will be surprised if Stone carries his 'anti imperialism' lunacy through that of 1900. No states in this quarter, how ever, will be won on tbe contraction issue." There are very few flag furlers in the western states. information and opinion. The men of tbe Twentieth Kansas need not imagine their troubles are ended when they leave the Philip pines. The woman of Kansas have formed clubs whose members are pledged to marry none but members of .the regiment. Unless the volun teers surrender on their return the crop of old maid's threatens to be larger than that of sunflowers and not half so gorgeous.

It is not generally known that many flashes of lightning not only measure themselves but actually manufacture the recorder by which they are defined. When a bolt of lightning strikes a bed of sand it plunges downward intothe sand for a distance less or greater, transforming simultaneously Into glass the silica in the material through which it passes. Thus, by its great heat, It forms a glass tube of precisely, its own size. Now and then such a tube known as "fulgurite" is found and dug up. Fulgurites have been followed into the sand by excavation for nearly 30 feet. They vary In interior diame ter from the size of a quill to three Inches or more.accordlng to the "bore." of the flash. Fulgurites are found also in solid rock, though very naturally of slight depth, and frequently existing merely as a thin, glassy coating on the surface. Such fulgurites occur in as tonishing abundance on the summit of Little Ararat in Armenia, The rock Is soft and so porous that blocks a foot long can be obtained, perforated in all directions by little tubes filled with bottle-green glass formed from the fused rock. There is a small specimen In the national museum which has the appearance of having been bored by the toredo, and the holes made by the worm subsequently filled with glas3. Some wonderful fulgurites were found by Humboldt, on the high Nevada de Toluca, in Mexico. Masses of rock were covered with a thin layer of green glass. Its peculiar shimmer in the sun led Humboldt to ascend the precip itous peak, at the risk of his life. COUNTESS ITO'S BRAVERY. Cruelly Ill-Treated by a Band of As sassins. Many years ago, when quite a young man, during a rebellion, Count Ito was hiding from his enemies, who, having tracked him to his house, sent a band of "sohsls" to assassinate him, says the Cornhill Magazine. On hearing his enemies approaching, and trapped like a rat in Its hole, the count drew his sword and prepared to die, but the countess whispered, "Do not die, there is hope still," and. removing the "hibatchl," or firebox, and lifting up tbe mats and the planks beneath, sue induced her husband to correal him self In the hollow space which exists under the floors of all Japanese houses. The murderers broke Into the room just as the firebox had been replaced and demanded of the countess their victim. In vain they threatened and cruelly Ill-treated her, dragging her about the room by her long black hair. But it was of no avail; they coutd not shake her resolute fidelity. Thanks to her courage, Count Ito escaped and has lived to give his coun try a new constitution and become one of the greatest statesmen of modern Japan. I often wonder when I see the countess, now a delicate, gray-haired, little lady, at the courage and presence of mind she displayed at that critical moment of her life.

England's Panper Population. On Jan. 1, 1S99, the total number of paupers receiving relief in England and Wales was 821,238. As the popula tion of the two countries Is estimated at 31.397,078, the paupers relieved amounted to one out of every 38 per sons, or 2.6 of the population. London city heads the list in regard to the number in receipt of relief, the total amounting to 123, CC5 persons. In Mid dlesex the outdoor pauperism is small er than in 3G of the 45 counties. There is an increase in the number of insane paupers. This class has increased year by year from 20,975 in 1S5S to 93,357 in 1899; London contributing to the re lief of 5,592 indoor and 14,541, or a to tal of 20,133. The West Riding of Yorkshire comes next in the order of insanity with a total of 5,551.

Nebraskans lr Camp at the Pre sidio Take Up Trjeir Regr ular Duties. Drilling Will Soon Be Dispensed With; and Men Relieved of Their Guns. Sax Fraxcisco, Aug. 1 The First Nebraska regiment spent a pleasant night in camp and the boys are feeling good today. The weather is fine and the dust which bothered somewhat yesterday is not stirring today. Very fow of the men have caught cold and there were a smaller number than usual at sick caTi today. Orders wer e Issued at the camp to day and the Nebraskans took up tho regular routine of duties as follows: Guard mount at 7:40 in tho morning, baod concert at 4 o'clock and parado at 6:30. It is probable that all drilling of the returned troops will bo dispensed with and that within a short time they will be relieved of their guns. Governor Pointer and Congressman Stark visited the camp this afternoon and gave a close inspection to all the conveniences and surroundings. They found that the government was taking such good caro of tbe boys that noth ing further coul 1 be desired. Concert Ily the Itauil. The hand concert todav was the first regular oue given since the fighting began. At the opening of hostilities with the Filipinos the band men went into the ranks and have raudo good soldiers. Sinco the regiment was taken from the front the band took up practice aain and is now in good shape. It has twenty men. Since en listment fifty-two men havo served iu the band. In order thnt they might havo every care, e'even meTT v. ho answered to sick call wero ?ent to tho general hospital today. They were Roy Wiltamuth, Company M, fever; Fred Triich, Com pany II, ulcer; William Stevens, Com pany G, absces.-; Charles Mohler, Com pany G, bun ; F.

Miller of Oomp my A received notice by wire . tnlay nf his Ldiseharge, in order that ho may go home to see his sick father. Ilo will start as soon as the discharge is com pleted. It is learned from an official source that any man in the hospital may b-5 immetUilly discharged in case his relatives or friends aro here ready to give him proper caro. This course mu4, however, ln approved by the regimental commander and mr goon in each ea-e I'lenty to Kit. The soldiers nt tho Presidio have an excellent bill of faro. Besides the reg ular ration of froi-h meat, bread, pota toes, coffee and vegetables, they have canned fruit, butter and milk. The companies also tmvi moss funds with which they buy frfr-h fruits and vege tables. Tho new kitchens and dining halls are found to be models of con venience. In fat, the complaint comes from certain sources thut the boys are being treated extra good as an induce ment for them to re-enlist. As was expected a general attack is being made on the national adminis tration by a S in Francisco paner with a New York and Omaha attachment. A few interviews with Nebraska boys have been printed denouncing General Otis. . These interviews, when seen in print.are for the most part repudiated by the men, who say the language is that of an unscrupulous reporter in stead of their own. Silent consent to the suggestive remarks of the inter viewer is ma le the pretext for columns of pretended interviews. Colonel Mulford heard from the Bee correspondent the Grst definite news of his new commission , in the army and of the effort being made to get him a better one.

Some Ezpreaalona That IltT Been Coined in That City. From the Boston Transcript: At the meeting of the Bostonlan society in the old statehouse C. W. Ernst de livered an Interesting talk on the sub ject, "Words Coined In Boston." Mr. Ernst said that Gov. Aajlros intro duced among other unsalutary things the term ""your excellency," as applied to the governor. The speaker claimed the word "bos was first used by a man named Gardner, who came in a ship from the North sea in charge of seme mechanics. The word "help,1 meaning a person hired to assist, is Bostonian, and was considered a very honorable appellation. Mr. Ernst men-, tioned the following as having had their origin in Boston: "Real estate. "corder." "dockage," "measurer of wood," "advice and consent," "mixed drinks," "dooming board," "tra sients," referring to hotel accommoda tion, used as early as 1709 in a per mission given by the selectmen of Bos ton: "fire ward" "fix," "stormy," in the Boston sense of rainy, cloudy, but not necessarily implying wind; "blanks." in the sense of "blank forms"; "limbs," applied to both arms and legs and described as being pe culiar; "depreciating currency," "fluc tuating currency," and "promoter," claimed by the speaker to have been first introduced In a treatise on finance by Dr. Douglas; "Boston brown bread," first usedin 1746 in descrip tion of a baked mixture of rye or wheat with Indian meal; "assortment," re placing an original sortlment; the use of the "store" for "shop"; "goodiea," "factory," for manufactory." in 1767; also . in the revolutionary and post revolutionary period various phrases, including "continental congress." Mr. Ernst described "block" and "police" as terms originating in Boston, saying that the police were thus named here long before the term was applied to them In England. He held that "bind ery" was coined in Boston; also that the telephone "hello" went from here to all parts of the world. "Teamster" was Boston coined; so was "bicycler." "Democrat" had its origin in Philadel phia in 1793, and was first used to de scribe a party policy in Boston in 1804 BRAVE LITTLE SUNFISH. t Fight with a Carp Ten TlmM It SUe. "I saw an amusing fining the other day, while out fishing in Fish lake, said James Weston to a St. Louts Globe-Democrat man. "I was catching fish about as fast as any one who was not fishing for the market would care to, and many of them were sun fish. In a sheltered spot I noticed one of these little fellows standing motion less, except his fins, which occasionally moved very slowly. I dropped my hook, with a small minnow on, close to the fish's nose, when It moved up, took hold of the bait very gingerly, carried it away about three feet, dropped it and glided back to Its place by the stone, once more settling Itself as it was before I disturbed It. Look ing closely, I discovered a fungus be neath the fish that looked like a bit of colored lace. I then knew that the little goggle-eye was on Its spawning bed. Again in the spirit of fun, I dropped the minnow near the sunflsh. She snapped It by the tall and lugged it off fully two yards and let It drop, scudding back to the nest again like a shot. I concluded not to disturb it again and was about to leave when a lubberly carp came moving along. The ugly fish let Itself rise gradually, as if to take a survey of Its surround ings. Its shadow fell across the sun fish nest, and, like a weathercock in a gale, the little sunflsh swung around and faced the carp that was ten times Its size and fifteen times Its weight. Mr. Carp moved on toward the caru fully prepared nest, when, like a y clone, the little sunflsh, with dorsal fin erect, made a charge on. the big dis turber of the peace. Tbe sunflsh lid not attack the carp's head, but, with bristling spines, shot under the big fish's belly and prodded him with their needle points. The old carp humped his back and began wobbling away, but the sunflsh circled and gave it an other rake with its dorsal fin, when I noticed about six inches of lntestins protruding from the carp's abdomen. That seemed to satisfy the pugnacious sunperch and it returned to Its sentinel duty above its nest. I have often heard of the little sunfish's game qualities, but I never before saw one in action. From that demonstration I don't think the carp will destroy much of tbe spawn of the little sunny, and I am sure they won't get near a bass bed." A Relic of Old rarls. A very curious relic of old rarls is about to be removed the house In the Rue de Venlse. built ip 1402 by the cel ebrated alchemist, palmist and philan thropist, Nicholas Flamel. It Is one of the few specimens of fifteenth cen tury architecture still to be seen In the French capltal.says tbe London Onron lcle.

In accordance with Flamel's will, had only to pray for the repose of his soul and to say an ave every day at the hour he died to se cure lodgings rent free.

In Aurun gabad the priests were paid to pray for rain and did so, day after day, but the rain failed to appear, though very costly processions were organized. At last the people became angry, threw the gods Into the rubbish heaps and blocked up the entrance to the temples with masses of thorns, as a penalty for keeping the fields dry. It's Just as well for a Hindoo god to attend to business if he wants to keep his job. No one knows the unbearable torture, tbe peculiar and agonizing pain, caused by piles, unless they have suf fered from them. Many believe them incurable. This is a mistake. Proper treatment will cure them. Tabler's Buckeye Pile Ointment is an infallible cure. Price, 60c. in bottles, tubes 75c. F. G. Fricke & Co. 'King, Emporer, Duke, Prlnce-$l. Elaon, the Clothier.

The 6tout par ty became purple with rare: "Please move up." The "end hog" blandly answered: "I can't." Then the 400 rounder made one more desperate ef fort, and finally squeezed himself through the second place, puffing and panting with the exertion. But hli woes were not over. A woman had stopped the car, and as the conductor counted hut four heads for this partic ular bench, he ordered her In thre; and she went, climbing over the "enJ hog" to a space of less than three inches besides the choleric passenger, who was the embodiment of six fur naces. It was more laughable to pee the indignation on the countenances of those this last wedge had made miser able. The "end hon" huns his fare over the running board and tried to breathe; the fat party sprawled out his elbows and grumbled to his compan ion, and the other end scaler huncn.-d herself Into nothingness in vain. 'A h on the "fifth wheel" to this coach finally got off the car she was enisl ed to gether like an opera hat. Then the others expanded, and once more four passengers on that particular bench were more than It could conveniently accommodate.
