T.?.E LARGEST CIRCULATION
Of any Cms County Paper.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1899.
HoiTSE RENT Si was governor two
terms.but he will not be supreme judge
any part of one term.
Joiix Sattlek could not 6erve as
deputy treasurer ar.dcqroner both, so
what is the usof talking about It.
It IS pre'.ty certain that the Ne
braska boys can see their services
were appreciated by their friends at
home.
THE political pot is beginning to
boil a little bitsmi the first thing that
is known some of the fusionists will
get scalded. -
The people got quite enough of
Nolcomb while he was governor and
he will be excused from sitting on the
supreme bench.
Among the numerous candidates for
county judge on the republican ticket
T. Frank Wiles of P.atUmouth pre
cinct seems to be the leader so far as
this part of the county is concerned.
The democrats are booming James
Herold for county treasurer. Jimmie
is a tiptop fellow a d it looks wicked
to kill him off w hi e ho is so young.
But such is polit cs nryhow popocra
tic politics.
W. J. Bryan, the free silver luna
tic, it i3 expected has promised to
epeak in I'lattsmouth on the 27th of
September and the fanatics of his per
suasion are in high feather over the
announcement.
Thk early closing i u'e which went
into effect in Oinah -oir.rtime ago has
been broken. A numb r of the lead
ing merchants have announced that
they will keep open beinr.ing with
next Saturday evening.
Mu. Johnson's runny friends will
regret his deci.-ion not to become a
candidate for sheriff. He could cer
tainly have leen elected, and many
democrats wanti d u opport mity to
attest their app--.c at on of his merit.
The Ohio deraoc.-aiiu convention at
Zanesville yesterday nominated John
R. McLean of the Cincinnati Enquirer
for governor on the first ballot by a
mitority of a half of one vote. The
platform endorses the Chicago free
silver deliverance of 1896 and de
nounces trusts and combines. The
candidates will probably butt their
brains out fighting Hanna.
The News, in anticipation of a big
run of business, has just received a
shipment of two tons of paper. The
subscription list to The Daily and
Semi-Weekly News is growing
rapidly, which is evidence that the
people appreciate a clean, fair paper
that gives the news and does not seek
to besmirch anybody and one that is
not the personal organ of a few old
relegates.
"We know what American victory
means. 11 means not to oppress, not
to tread on the necks of the fallen. It
means to lift them up, to place them
upon their feet, and to do ali that is
in our power to extend comfort, civili
zation, happiness and prosperity to all
mankind. This war has brought un
der the dominion and protectorate of
the stars and stripes many millions of
our Catholic people, far removed, some
of them, from the American continent.
but we predict for them unhesitatingly
that they will make American citizens
as loyal, as sturdy and as true as those
that are here today." Father Lavelle
in speech introducing President Mc-
Kinley, at Catholic Summer School
Grounds, Champlain,N. Y., August 15.
The free-traders who were in such
high feather over the slightly in
creased importations of the fiscal year
ISO',) have lost interest in that subject
since it is discovered thai this increase
was almost entirely in articles re
quired by manufacturers whose busi
ness had been increased by the protec
tive tariff. The imports of raw 6ilk
for manufacturing were in the fiscal
year 1899 $31,876,342, against $17,558,-
163 in the last year of the Wilson law;
of raw fibers for use in manufacturing
the imports of 1899 were $20,290,727,
aeainst $13,445,186 in 1898,and $12,336.
418 in the lust year of the Wilson law;
of crude India rubber the imports for
use in manufacturing were in 1S90 $31,-
870,342, against $25,545,391 in 1898,
and $17,5!8,163 in the last year of the
Wilson law; while the imports of tin
for use in manufacturing tin-plate
were, in 1S99. $11,843,357, against $8,-
77S.151 in 1S93, and $6,533,352 iD the
last year of the Wilson law. The only
reduction in imports of material for
manufacturing was in wool, of which
the imports in the last year of the
Wilson law, which were admitted free
of duty, were $53,243,191; In 1898, the
first year of the Dingley law, they
were $16,7S3,692,and in lS99,the second
year of the Dingley law.but $8,322,897.
A WAR WELL-FINANCED,
History will give the administration
high credit for the financial manage
ment of the war with Spain and the
war that followed it as an unwelcome
but unavoidable sequel.says the Globe
Democrat. The cost has been far less
than Wc8 anticipated before hostilities"
began. War taxes were wisely im
posed at the beginning of the conflict
and the country, in spite of greatly in
creased expenditure,has avoided a for
midable accumulation of cebt Most of
the expenses of the war were charged
up during the last fiscal year ending
June SO. The deficit for the year was
S9,000,000, much less than any of the
estimates. This year's prospect ia that
the treasury will keep even, or nearly
so. K 3 venue is increasing and expen
ses falling off. The navy costs but
little more now than on a peace foot
ing. Congress appropriated $80,000,-
000 for the authorized army of 100,000
men. The cost of maintaining the
army in the Philippines is not yet
closely ascertained,butit will be noth
ing unusual except in the matter of
transporting troops. Manila is an ideal
base for convenience and securlty,and
campaigning in Luzon will be no more
expensive than elsewhere. Carrying
army supplies in ships is the cheapest
method known.
Homing m the condition of the
treasury indicates that heavy taxes
will be necessary and those in exist
ence bear lightly upon the ptople
There is an ample balance of cash on
nana. ine unitea states came out
of the war with Spain in extraordi
nary good financial shape, and paid
large sum to the defeated nation in
stead or asking one. At the end of
modern wars,"as a rule, both combat
ants have contended with huge addi
tions to national debts and have been
compelled to meet the emergency with
increased taxation or, for the winning
side, a demand for immense indemnity.
TTfl f . i . ,

tainty the average estimate of the
probable cost was about $700,000,000.
That was the general judgment, and
the great difference between that fi
ure and the actu tl expenditure is the
just measure of the financial efficiency
and foreeight of the administration.
There are two factions in the fusion
ranks in this county. If they should
fail to fuse there would be six little
bunches of dissatisfied, disgruntled
politicians the two pop factions, the
democratic factions and last and least.
the free silver republicans.
The fusionists have the birrest iob
on their hands thisfall they have ever
had to elect any part of their ticket.
This is not a good year for the roar-
bicks. There are eood croos and
money is too plentiful for their cause
to prosper.

out the statement that never before in
the history of the American cattle

is enormous. The statement is made
that the prices of all cattle will be
higher next year than they are new.

MATURITY.
It Wu a Hut A ii 'I Dry Week Iu Most
ConntU-a of the State.
University of Nebraska, Lin
coln, Auj:. 2'. The p ist week has
been warm, with scattered showers in
the southeastern portion of the state.
The average dailj' excess of tempera
ture has been between three and four
degrees. The maximum temperatures
on the first days of the week ranged
from 90 to 104 degrees.
The rainfall of the week was very
light, except in small areas in Rich
ardson, Johnson, Saline, Nuckolls and
Franklin counties, where an inch or
more fell. Light, scattered showers oc
curred in thecentral and southeastern
counties, while in the northern and
western counties little or no rain fell.
The past week has been an excellent
one for haying. 6tncking and thrash
ing. Most of the small grain is now
either thrashed or in the st;ick. The
yield of wheat in the northern coun
ties is generally between ten and fif
teen bushels per acre. Hay is gener
ally a good crop. The dry weather,
with high temperature, hat been un
favorable for corn in most parts of the
state. In parts of the southeastern
section, where the moisture was suffi
cient, corn has advanced rapidly
toward maturity, without injuo1. In
other parts of the sta e it has de
teriorated somewhat in condition and
h:is ripened too rapidly. Good pro
gress has been made with plowing,and
a little seeuirjr has been done. The
ground was cetting1 too dry to plow
well in most sectious by the last of the
week .

fered to buy goods for a wedding dress
for his sister In China. It was faith
fully awaited and expected, but failed
to arrive. A few days ago came the
explanation. The merchant from whom
the purchase was made, instead ot
sending tse dress to Paterson, forward
ed it to Ensign Butler, who was unable
to send it to Paterson until after It had
undergone on Admiral Dewey's flag
ship the experience of the great battle
of Manila bay. Thus it was American
ized. Blotches and excresonce, which bo
often annoy people, are nimp'y efforts
of nature to throw off impediments to
the proper performance of her duties.
Ilerbine will aid and assist nature in
in her work, and n-ure a skin clear
and beautiful, entirely free from all
imperfections. Price 50e. F. G.

"Tattooed Ladjr" on the Cable Car.
One sometimes hears rumors of
women resorting to tattooing as a fad,
but the designs are usually made on
some part of the body where they will
not be visible in ordinary conditions.
A woman on one of the Broadway ca
ble cars, the other day, however, car
ried a conspicuous tattoo mark on the
back of her hand, a little to one side.
Her bands were bare and bro'wn, hav
ing the look of strength and much ex-
weise. One fancied that she belonged
to sailor or flaher folk somewhere, and
that she eould lend a hand when neces
sary with the best of them in manag-
tng a boat and similar work

Crippled by
Rheumatism.
Thoso who have Iiheuniatism find
themselves growing steadily worse ail
the while. One reason of this is that
the remedies prescribed by the doctors
contain mercury ami potash, which ul
timately intensify thetlisoast by caus
ing the joints to swell and stiffen,
producing a severe aching of the bones.
K. S. S. lias been curing Rheumatism
for twenty years even the- worst cases
which seemed almost incurable.
Capt. O. K. Hni'lK's. the popular railroad
conductor, of OmIuiiiIiIu, s. !., had an xwn-enc-c

Kverybody knows that Rheumatism
is a diseased state of tln blood, and
only a blood remedy is the only proper
treatment, but a remedy containing
potash and mercury only aggravates
the trouble.

the very cause of tin- d i-ense. jial ft yy;--
nutrient cure always resiiks. It is the
only blood remedy guaranteed to con
tain no potash, mercury or other dun
