LARGEST CIRCULATION
Of any Cass County Paper.
Fill DA V, JUNE .".0, 1800.
Nkxt Tuesday is tho day upon
wh eh the giant lire crackor gets in
its deadly work.
TllK apportionment for rapresonta
tion at tho republican state convention
gives Cass county twenty-five dole
gates. Tin: fusionists will hold their stato
convention in Omaha August 22. This
will probably bo ono of the attractions
on the Midway.
Tiik News put tho library preposi
tion before the people last Saturday
and it has been the principal topic of
conversation ever since.
IIkuk is tho most unkind cut of all.
It is from the Globe-Democrat: "Over
the democratic ticket in 1000 the
inot appropriate device wi'l 1 e a last
year's bird's nest."
TllK delegates in attendance at the
democratic stalo convention at Louis
ville became so "enthusiastic' that it
was necessary to c-.ll two police to
prevent bloodshed.
i J
Tiik Most Influential Paper of tho
City so dubbed by its editor has
learned of the public library proposi
tion. But it was two days after it
came out in The News.
It is understood that D. E. Thomp
son is arranging to remove from Lin
coln to Omaha. If he expects to stay in
politics he would do well to go fur
ther away than Omaha. Me is pretty
well known all over the statu.
Tnrc IJeatrice papers are complain
ing about the dust being so bid in that
city. There is no dust in Cass count',
but tho farmer will have plenty of
'dust" this fall when their crops are
hai vested. Cass counly is the best of
them all.
Theke is ono thing cortain and that
is that harmony will not be found in
very large "hunks" at the fusion
state convention July 22. Tho demo
crats claim tho pops want to hog all
the otlices and tho pops think the
democrats are not fit. to held cHice.. .
The question propounded by The
News last Saturday as to who would
donate tie ground upon which to
erect a library building has had the
desired effect Mrs. C. II Parmele
being the first to offer a lot. It is
situated at the corner of Fourth and
Vine streets and would bo a prettj
site.
"Stkike while the iron is hot"
should be the motto of the citizens of
Plattsmouth in regard to the public
library proposition. There is no neces
sity of becoming involved in a dispute
over the the location of such a build
ing. There can bo no well founded
objection K the lot offered by Mrs
Parmele. It is a good ono.
The silver republican party of
Iowa is a thing of the past. The hand
ful of members have announced that
hereaftor they will bo democrats.
The truth of the matter is that they
were democrats all the time, but
wanted to go in by degrees. The sil
ver republican party in Plattsmouth
consisted of ex-Chief of Police Mike
Morrissey and Colonel J. M. Leyda and
now that Morrissey is gone, Mr.
Leyda has removed the mask and is
ready to climb in the democratic band
wagon.
America has dropped from the first
place among the world's gold pro
ducers. Its gold product, however, is
rapidly increasing, but that of some
of tho other countries is growing
faster, says the Globe-Democrat. The
world's output of the yellow metal,
which Bryan in 1895 said wa on the
decline is growing with a rapidity and
constancy undreamed of by the most
sanguine gold standard advocates a
few years ago. The gold product of
the world in 1896 was $202,000,000. It
will be $100,000,000 in 1900 according
to the estimate of the director of the
mint, based on the rate of increase
shown in 1S98 and 1899.
TIIK JOIt WILL. BE FINISHED.
The obstacles to the Philippines
campaign which the rainy season has
produced inspire the anti-expansionists
with fresh zeal in urging the aban
don ment of the whole affair, snj-s the
New YorK Sun. They would have us
acknowledge that Aguinaldo and his
men have got the better of us. At all
events, they would have us pack up
and scuttle out of the islauas.
Now, that is not the Ameriran way
of doing things. We are not accus
tomed to backing out of a job merely
because it proves a little harder than
wo expected. Even were there noth
ing else against such a course, tho loss
of prestige in the world's eyes would
be enough to deter us from it. We do
not wish to bcome, as an American
st'itesmnn nnce expressed it, "the scorn
of the universo, tho contempt of our
selves," through lack of tenacity.
If we havo e-ornewhnt underrated the
capacity and the wi Win truest of the
Tgals to w;igo war on us, we under
stand them now, and shall proceed a -eordingly.
Citinptigniiig in the trop
ics wait a rovelty wo had not quite
mastered befoi o the rainy season put
certain restrictions on it, but tho delay
will bo brief. The ridiculous thing is
to supnono that we shall not put forth
all the more strength when it is
i needed; thai, having put our hands to
( the pkuph, wo t-hall turnback. The

INMIKMATION AND OPINION.
The largest so irchlight in the world
was exhibited at tho Columbian expo
sition in Chicago. The reflecting
lens, sixty inches in diameter, woighs
800 pound, and is mounted in a brass
ring which weighs 750 pounds. The
rellocted light from the great electric
lamp is equal to that of 750,000,000
candles. A newspaper could be read
by its lights 100 miles away.
The rocent edict of the king of ffiain
that no naked children shall hereafter
be allowed in tho streets of Bangkok,
under penalty of a line, is proving a
hardship to parents, as the chileren,
unaccustomed to any raiment, cast off
what is put on them as soon as they
are out of sight of their parents.
Twenty-live years ago a Russian lad
of sixteen years arrived in Mays City,
Kan., direct from the liver Volga.
Me was dressed in a sheepskin co!it.
and his tlrst act on stepping from the
tr.tin was to light his pip with a Hint
and steel. Lnt week Mnys City in
augurated a fine eb ctric light system
of which this Russian 1 id is the sole
p oprietor.
Governor Roosevelt shortened the
sentence of John Howard, a convict in
the Sing Sing prison, because the
prisonor constructed two large pipo
organs for the chapel, working two
years on the j b, and thus saving the
slate an amount of money estimated
at about $,000. Tho organs wero f n
Uhcd about two weeks ago, just as
Howard's sentenco expired, and he
wastoloased. The organs presented
a most imposing appearance, and wero
greatly admired. When it came to
trying them I ist Sunday it transpired
thiit they only looked like what they
purported to be, and d spite all the
eletric pumps would not give forth a
sound Mownrd f ,i!od to leave his
future address at the prison when he
departed. Me is believed, however,
to be in some spot where h.) tan laugh

Walt Mas jn of the Beatrice Express,
who is past grand master on plain
and fancy drinks, gives the following
advice as to warm weather beverages:
"Lean, people who desire to pile up
flesh and get themselves ready for the
fall market, should not waste their
money on patent dope; the best thing
they can do is to consutno buttermilk
in lange quantities. Buttermilk will
fatten any animal that drinks it. It
would faiten Frank DuTeil's Indian if
injected into that majestic savage
with a squirt gun. It is the most
wholesome beverage a man can tackle.
aud for that reason will never be as
popular as it should be. When the
average man spends money for a
beverage, ha wants something that
will ruin his vitals and make his eyes
look as though they were fried."
Near Dillsboro, Ind., Mrs. Dora Mc-
Clellan, while attempting to hive a
swarm of bees, was stung so severely
that she fell to the ground uncon

the bees by splashing water upon

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined ana
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She finally discov
ered a way to recovery, by purchasing
of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, and was so
much relieved on taking first dose,
that she slept all night; and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured.

Cabinet Farloi; s Crisis.
ROME, June 29. Great interest is
being taken in today's session of the
Chamber of Deputies. There are ap
prehensions that It may lead to a min
isterial crisis over the royal decree em
powering the government to prohibit
public meetings, etc., and to punish
strikers and those who lnfrings on the
press laws. The extreme leftists are
desolved to resort to every means to
postpone a vote approving the meas
ure, so that they may subsequently
be able to contest its legality in the
courts on the ground of its being un
constitutional as well as not sanction
ed by Parliament.
The debate on the navy estimates
ought to have been resumed today, but
immediately after the sitting was open
ed Signor BonaccI, minister of jusiice,
moved its suspension on the ground
that the Chamber should first pro
nounce an opinion on the loyal decree.
The house eventually decided to ad
journ until this afternoon.

WASHINGTON, June 29 Secre
tary Alger, Adjutant General Corbin
and Colonel Bird, assistant quarter
master general in charge of transport
ation, had an hour's consultation with
the president today relative to the
question of reinforcements for Gen
eral Otis. A definite decision has been
reached to continue recruiting men
at all the recruiting stations for serv
ice In the Philippines and Secretary
Alger said when he left the White
House after the conference that Gen
eral Otis would have 40,000 men when
the rainy season clost-d for a resump
tion of active operations.
There are seventy recruiting sta
tions in the United States and enlist
ments are to be taken at all of these
stations. The enlistments are to he
for service in the regular army and
recruits are to be organized In regi
ments or assigned to regiments al
ready formed after enlistment. No
organizations, as such, are to be ac
cepted by regular enlistment. General
Corbin said the enlistments would be
for three years, although the law for
the creation of the provisional army
of 35,000 in excess of the regular army
of 65,000 provides only for such a
force until 1901.
Arrangements ae to be made at
once for increasing the transportation
necessary to get these additional
troops to the Philippines. The deci
sion to reinforce General Otis by the
end of the rainy season is Interpreted
to mean that aggressive campaigning
will cease until the bad weather ends.
Until that time our operations will
probably be confined to occasional ex
cursions to placee in close proximity
to our lines, where the Insurgents may
have congregated in force. By remain
ing quiescent under good shelter dur
ing the rainy season it is hoped the
health of our troops will be conserved
and the danger from climatic fevers
reduced to a minimum.
General Otis has cabled the War de
partment that he has the skeleton or
ganizations of two or three regiments
which it is proposed to raise in the
Philippines. At the War department
this was said to mean that General
Otis has the officers for these regi
ments selected and that they are ready
to be filled with enlisted men. How
many of these can be secured from the
volunteer regiments now in the Philip
pines is not known. It is stated at
the War department that the recruits
now being enlisted at the rate of 1.000
a week cannot lie used for the volun
teer army provided for in the act of
March 2, authorizing 35,000 men. al
though it would be an easy matter to
transfer these men with their own
consent to the volunteer service if it
should be determined to raise addi
tional troops.
Illn Iluslness on Small Capital.
CHICAGO, June 29 Master in
Chancery Edward A. -DIeker has" com
pleted and will present to the circuit
court his resolution in the case which
has attracted great attention in Chi
cago and the west among cattle men.
The case involves about ,100,000 and
the' existence of the corporation of the
George Adams and Burke Brothers
company, one of the best known stock
firms in business in Chicago, which,
according to the evidence adduced In
the master's hearing, is doing an an
nual business in the neighborhood of
$1,000,000. The master's report is in
all points against the plaintiff, and in
addition recommends that the court
enjoin the corporation from doing such
an extensive business with the capital
invested, as it was shown that over
eight times the amount of the capital
stock was loaned out at one time to
stock men for feeding purposes. The
litigation was commenced July 17,
1897, when John C. Burke filed suit in
the circuit court against George Adams
and others, officers and stockholders
of the George Adams and Burke
Brothers company, asking an account
ing and that a receiver be appointed.
At the time of the commencement of
the suit $94,971 had been received by
the corporation as interest on money
advanced by Adams to ranchmen
throughout the west for the purpose
of feeding stock. This sum the plain
tiff should have turned in as profits of
the firm's business, but it was with
held by Adams, the president, as his
own, on account of money advanced.

LINCOLN, Neb., June 27 The fol
lowing is issued by the United States
department of agriculture,clim ilo and
crop bulletin of the weather-bureau,

at 8 a. m. J une 20:
Tho past week has been warm and
wet. '1 he average daily temperature
excess ru.s been about 1 degree. The
first day of the week was very hot, tho
maximum temperature exceeding 100
degrees in most of the central and

heavy, varying from throe to t, early
six inches.
The pnst week has ben the most
favorable one of tho reason for erop
growth. The high tempMMture the
first days was unfavorable in a few
southwestern counties, but was fol
lowed by general and heavy rain,
which revived tho small grain consid
erably. Waim weather, wi h frequent
showers, has causod all crops to grow
rapidly. O its have continuod to im
prove, and now promise a good c.op
in many eastern counties. Wi iter
wheat ana rye have filled well, but tho
crop will be light. Corn has grown ex
ceedingly well. There is soma com

the fields are about as clean as uu:il,
