With an open fight by the I5eo and
a fight among tho board of managers
tho success of the Greater American
exposition is not at all assured.
Ik all the wrong doings credited to

resignation of Superintendent O'Brien
of tho Btato fishorios. Of courso this

the Census Wines estimates that
tho national census to ho taken in 1900
will enow 77,000,000. This is a gain of

rate of increase is maintained, in 10o0
tho population of tho United States
will bo 190,000,000.
A populist was appointed as super
intendent of the reform school at Plan
kin ton, S. D., the other day and when
the boys, who wero out playing ball,
were ordered to form in lino they
broke and run for liberty, saying as
they did so, "The pops can't hold us."
This is another hard shot on tho poor

Some years ago a story was invented
to tho effect that Henry Ward Beecher
had with deliberation declared that
one dollar a day was enough for any
wage-earner and sufficient to maintain
any ordinary family. Mr. Beecher
never 9aid any such thing. But dur
ing his long and useful life his oft-repeated
and truthful denial limped
along away behind the sprintiDg lie.
And bo Mr. Beecher died without
vindication as to that particular slan
der, but he has come to be universally
acknowledged as one of the brainiest
and best citizens who ever so persuas
ively aud successfully addressed aud
iences inimical to the United States in
a foreign land and converted them
from enemies into friends. The lie,
however, "that one dollar is enough
wages for any laborer," is still doing
business ai the old rate aud gait. The
remark has boeu falsely attributed
first to one and then to another public
man. It is told again and again with
malice and envy, by men who ought to
know that no person with common
sense enough to have acquired reputa
tion as a public man, could or would
have been ever capable of such idiocy.
But lies leap and truth crawls.
A NOT II E It KiriU-FIKK PKACeJiAKEK
Notwithstanding tho universal wl9h
of civilized humanity that war shall
bo abandoned as a means of settling
disputes between nations, the ingenu
ity of inventors is being taxed to in
crease the efficiency of the instruments
of slaughter, eaj's the Times-Herald.
It is comforting to reflect, however,
that tho improvements now being
made in tho engines of destruction
are all in the direction of making the
battles of the future a question of
hours instead of days possibly min
utes instead of hours. War will Ye
none the less horrible, but the engage
ments will be brief and the destruc
tion will be swift and decisive. Whole
regiments will be swept away by
single guns, and there will be little
opportunity for the daricg hand-to-hand
encounters that were the fea
tures of many of the bloodiest conflicts
of the civil war.
It would seem thatinventive ingenu
ity had reached the limit of its possi
bilities in the production of rapid-fire
guns when one recalls the slaughter
of the rebellious savages at Omdur
man by Kitchener's guns. But a new
record for rapid-Ore guns has jut
leen made on the proving grounds of
the Driggs-Seabury Gun company at
Derby, Conn. The gun, which was a
six-pounder, made a record of sixty
shots per minute, which was twenty
five better than the record of the most
modern rapid-fire gun. With such
destructive powers as this the gun i
will doubtless play an important pirt
in the national defense.
Tho work of increasing tho destruc
tive capabilities of the modern rapid
fire gun is justified on the score that
if we must have war it should be as
brief as possible. Let the action bo
short, sharp and decisive. The per
fection of these weapons by mechan
ical skill is also defended on the
ground that the more terrible their
possibilities of slaughter the more
certain aro they to invito universal
peaco.

Five tons of dynamite wero e.x ploded
on the summit of Big Bull mountain, a
milo from Victor, Colo., and 1'J,000
feet above the sea, on tho Fourth, with
the idea of furnishing a good imitation
of a minature earthquake, hut the re
sulting disturbance was very like tho
real thing. No one was hurt, hut tho
town was pretty well shaken up and
tho shock was felt as far away as
eighty miles.
Spencer Pratt, United Statos consul
at Signapore, who has been credited
with having exceeded his authority in
making promises to tho Filipinos in
tho early stages of our occupation of
tho Philippines, brought suit recently
agaiiit tho publishing firm in Signa
poro that put out a book in which was
given in detailed form an interviowal
leged to have taken placo between Mr.
Pratt and Auinaldo. The court
found that tho story of tho interview
was falso and libelous and further pub
lication of tho book was prohibited.
The story of the boy who can, whilo
in a hypnotic state, see through peo
ple, examine their hones and locate
diseases, has about capped tho climax,
and all the anxious public now havo to
wait for is tho person who can see tho
conscience of an ico man, tho heart of
the average mu'.o drivor or the soul of
a llirt, and while ho is in search of tho
invisible he might he able to detect
cash in the printer's pocket. When
, this can ho done there is no need to
try further.
In India tho Hindoos havo estab
lished homos or asylums for aged and
infirm boasts and birds One of these,
near tho Sodepur Station, and about 10
miles from Calcutta, is under tho con
trol of a manager, with a staff of SO
servants and an experienced vetinary
surgeon. In this placo at piescnt
thero ure 979 animal paupers 129
bulls, 307 cows. 171 calves, 72 horses,
l.J water buffaloes, 09 sheep, 15 goats,
141 pigeons, 44 cocks and hens, 4 cats,
3 monkeys and ;" dotrs. The asylum is
described as bein systematically and
mercifully managed. Tho cows have
especially a good time of it, inasmuch
as on festal occasions natives go from
far and near to decorate and worship
them. One of tho established sights
of the city of Bombay is the Pinjra
pole, a spot whither wornout or dis
eased creatures are sent by benevolent
Hindoo citizens, and are maintained
until they bocome restored to health
or die.

Twenty-five years ago France was
able to put as many soldiers in tho

Iceland is probably the one country
in the world which gets along with a
single policeman. The descendants
of the Vikings have no need of police
men. The solitary officer, in spite of
his great responsibility, has a very
easy time. He is maintained more for
ornament and dignity than for use.
The Icelanders think it weuld not do
to have a capital without a policeman,
and so they keop one.

A repetition of the P. E. O. min
strel entertainment on Saturday even
ing did not attract as large an audi
ence as on the previous night, but
thoa who wero present thoroughly
enjoyed tho novel spectacle of so many
Platt&mouth society ladies masquerad
ing as "persons of color." The cos
tume dance by the Misses Agnew and
Levings was a revelation of graceful
postures and was much admired.
Solos wero sung by Misses Petts,
Gygor, Green, Swcaringen and Hall,
and beautiful chorus singing by the
troupe the selections being the
latest coon songs wero greatly en
joyed by the audience.
The participants in the cake-walk
which closed the entertainment were
Mrs. Swearingen and Miss Murrey,
Miss Heisel and Miss Black, Miss Ag
new and Miss Green, Miss Mauzy and
Miss Murphy. Friday evening Mr9.
Swearingen and Miss Murrej'took the
cake, while on Saturday evening the
applause was divided, the honors and
cake being shared by the Misses Ag
new and Heisel and their escorts. It
was rather difficult to discriminate, as
the participants all did exceedinglj'
well.
The P. E. O. societv is to be con
gratulated on their successful enter
tainment and much eredit is due to
Miss Hail and her assistants. Miss
Matilda Vallery and Miss Lou Smith
also added greatly to the success by
their skillful accompanying of the
various songs on the piano. Mi3s
Kauble and Mr. Eigenbroadt were also
valuable additions and were listened
to with much pleasure.

UAILHOAD NOTES AND PERSONALS
The Burlington pay car arrived this
morning and distributed tho usual
amount of wealth among the railroad
men.
''Nothing waited" appoars to bu the
order of tho day in every branch of in
dustry. The use of discarded locomo
tive flues for the manufacture of iron
fence poets is the latest illustration of
thi- fact. The idea was put in practice
some time. ago by T. E. Calvert, gen
eral superintendent of tho Burlington
lines at Lincoln, Neb. Tho advantages
the Burlington linds in its new post
aro that they will not burn nor decay
like tho old stylo posts of wood. Th
c iuso of failure of more than one-half
tho wooden fence poets along tho Bur'
lington lines has been lire. The details
of tho manufacture of tho new posts
from old engine Hues aro so arranged
that two workmen can turn out fifty
posts per day. Tho Burlington will
use a large number this year to replace
wooden posts. Valuing the discarded
engine Hues at what they would bring
for scrap iron, and counting tho cost of
labor, the new iron fenco posts are
turned out for cents apiece, about
tho same as a wooden fenco post costs

lhe greatest diving leat ever

the cargo of the ship Cape Horn,
wrecked off the coast of South mer-
ica, when a diver named Hooper made
seven descents to a depth of over 200
feet, remaining at one time forty-two
minutes under the water. An author
ity states that tho greatest depth to

To bo bound hand and foot for

worst form of slavery. George D
Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells
how such a slave was made free. He

for five years that she could not turn
over in bed alone. After using two
bottles of Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work." This supreme rem
edy for female disease quickly cures
