Omaha's new evening paper, the
News, seems to b jfettine quite a foot
tao'.d. It is a very creditable paper.
The election of Judge Reese would
be the very best thintr that could
hnppon Nebraska- this fall, and it
aoemB probable. If republicans all
over the state can bo made to realize
how important the i-sue Is, the elec
tion can bo won without trouble, and
that will put NebraKa back whero
she belongs in the republic in columt.
Nebraska has clung: to populism too
lonff. Her roputatlon is at slake, and
she must redeem herself. Beatrice

"The future of these new posses

valuable heritage, I feel assured. That
congress will provide for them a gov

to the Thirteenth Minnesota Volun
teers at Minneapolis, October 12.
An editorial article in the Post
last Monday has created a stir among
the friends of Judge II .msey, and
there was a rumor on the st-eeta tht
the judge had determined on calling
a special session of tho court to take
some action in tho matter. A tele
phone communication with the judge.
however, failed to confirm this rumor
He will probably pay no attontion to
the matter. Ooe specific charge was
that an attempt was made to bribe
two of the jurors in the Goebel case,
and that Judge Ramsey paid no at
tection to the matter after being told
that such was the case. The truth of
that charge could easily be apeer
tuined, as the following are the names
of the members on that jury
Charles Speucer, William Case, J,
Vallery jr., A. C Loder, Ed Bates,
James Taylor, Warren McConkey.W.
A. ltojal, Oscar Gipen. Fred Hates,
John Weyrick, J. R. Donson. THE
News withholds iudemfnt on this
matter, awaiting investigation.
Tin-: stoppage of an annu tl gold pro
duction of SUS.OOO.OOO iu the South Af
rican mines will not provo so sorious
an injury to the buine- of the world
as a lo-s of this am- unt wou d have
pro von a few years ago. The world's
gold production in 18ftS w ,s $2S7,000,
000, of which Siri.OOO.OOO was from tho
South African mines, and the estimate
for the year 1S99 is S20.000,000 for thu
ontire world; including 73,00(,000
from the South African mines. This
indicates thtt tho world, outside of
South Africi, is producing from $225,
tKK,000 to 0,OOC,000 of gold per
annum, or more than double what was
produced a decade ago. Prior to 1850
tbe averago annual product of gold in
the entire world never reached more
than about :!J,000,000. But from that
lime up to 1890 it avoragod about
$120,000,000 annuallj-. From 1600 up
to tho presont time, however, the
growth has been very rapid, being in
1898 $287,000,000, of which $G5,0u0,0WH
was from the .African m nes, with es
timates for 1899 of $320,000,000, in
eluding $75,000,000 from South Africa.
Thus, if the African mines were
wiped out of existence, the gold pro
duction from other parts of the world
would te double the average between
IS 30 and 1890, and from 10 to 20 times
the average of the years bstweon 1800
ami 185C.

SOME GREAT EXPLOSIONS.
Seren Ton of Powder Dislodged 200,
OOO Tons of Rock.
Among the many incidents which
are on record one of the most nota
ble is that of the explosion of fifty-five
tons of blasting gelatin which was
being unloaded from a railway train
at Uraamfontein, 500 yards west of Jo
hannesburg, in South Africa, on Feb.
19, 1896, and which was exploded by
an end-on collision, says Cassier's
Magazine. The result of the explo
sion of this enormous quantity of one
of the most powerful explosives used
was to produce a crater 30 feet long,
65 feet wide and 30 feet deep in soft
ground; or, taking a cubic foot of
earth as weighing 100 pounds, the su
perficial explosion of this fifty-five tons
of explosive gelatin excavated about
30,000 tons of soft earth. Besides this
there was a total destruction of 330
yards, while from this distance to sixty
yards all the buildings were shattered
and the roofs were battered In up to
about 1.000 yards. But all these build
ings were built chiefly of corrugated
iron and mud. and. therefore, were of
a mo3t unsubstantial character. On
the other hend we have in the United
States the blowing up of the Hudson
river palisades at Fort Lee in 1S93.
when the explosion of two tons of dy
namite, placed in a chamber in th?
rock, brought down lOO.OOO tons of
rock; the blasting at the Dinorwle
quarries. LaniLeriv In the same year,
when two and a half tons of gelatin
dynamite, placed in chambers in the
dike, overthrew 180,000 tone of rock:
and at the destruction of the famous
Talceu Mawr, in 1835, when seven
tons of powder, poured Into two shafts,
dislodged a mass of rock computed to
weigh from 12."i.000 to 200,000 tons.
From this we find that the dynamite
of the Interior at Fort Lee was over
forty times as efficient a3 the explosive
gelatin on the surface at Johannes
burg, while the powder at Talcen
Mawr was over forty-two times as effi
cient. It is. hence, not surprising that
the superficial explosion of the 300
pound charges of gun cotton thrown
by the Vesuvius' guns at Santiago dur
ing the late war between the United
States and Spain produced no serious
structural damage, and simply har
assed the enemy by their frightful
reports, which occurred at Infrequent
lntervn's and unexpected times.

Harrington Writes a Letter.
M. C. Harrington, Democratic nomi
nee for congress iu the Sixth district, is
also a victim of the habit of letter writ
ing, sis wituoss the following sent by
him to Juan Boyle of Kearney, chair
man of the Democratic district couuuir
tee. KKAf.XEv, Nee.
Jn:m Boyle, L'-j.,
Deak Sir The state central committee
is urging prompt action. We must ac
cept the inevitable. The future of Democ
racy in the Sixth district depends largely
uion the numlier we ctin draw from Pop
ulist sources. There is only one more
year to wait and fii.-.ion will he all over.
There will be but two parties and the
lenders of the Democratic party now will
lie the recognized leaders then. Submit
gracefully, even tho' we have to stretch a
point to do so. Find enclosed a certificate
which please sifrn in the two places mark
ed lx-fore a justice of tho pea o or a notary
public who has a seal. McN'eel, who has
been abseut in Virginia, will be at home
in a few days and want to have It ready
for him. M. C. IIarbingtox.
This letter is of particular interest
and significance to all Populists of Ne
braska. It sets forth the avowed pur
pose of the Democrats to swallow the
Populists next year. What concessions
are made this year by the Democrats
are expected to bear fruit an hundred
fold next year, when Candidate Bryan
aud the silverplated Democracy will put
the Populist party out of sight. This Is
the moaniug of the adherence of Bryan
to Ilolcomb in the state convention,
despite the protest of many leading
Democrat who objected to supporting
Ilolcomb, but who are doing so in a
desultory sort of way merely to profit
by it next year, wheu the Populist party,
just as Mr. Harrington writes, is to dis
appear and when leaders of Democracy
now will continue to bo leaders after
the swallowing has taken place. Mr.
Harrington's letter, which has just
come to the surface, throws a strong
side light on the working of Boss Bryan
ami his Democratic machine.
General Fred Fuuston, like Admiral
Dewey, has disappointed the oppon
ent's of tho administration's war policy.
He has confirmed what the admiral
has said siuce his return. He denies the
japaeity of the Filipinos for self -government
aud favors going ahead in a vigor
ous m'sumer to sulvlue the rebellion in
Luzon. He characterizes Aguinaldo as
a "con" man. He is confidenciug his
followers into believing they can whip
the Americans aud drive them out of
the islands. As a disciple of George
Washington, according to General
Fnnston, the little rebel is a miserable
failure, and Nebraskans who may think
they are supporting a pure and high
minded patriot by voting against the
administration should open their eyes to
the facts.
Silas A. Ilolcomb as governor repudi
ated Mr. Sturgess, recommended by or
pauized lalior for appointment on the
state commission for the Omaha exposi
tion. United lalor now has its oppor
tunity to repudiate Mr. Ilolcomb, and
the prospects are very good that it will
do so. The truth is there is positively
no warrant f i r lalor of any kind sup
porting Mr. Ilolcomb and his ticket, on
general principles. All kinds of labor
is in great demand all over the state, at
enhanced wages, and this iu no wise
because there is a Populist state admin
istration, but because the good Lord has
sent big crops and the Republican party
has maintained sound money and kept
its promise to reopen the mills aud re
store prosperity.

ALASKAN FISHERMEN.
Wonderful Kmlli Achieved by Valng
Simple Apparatus.
With his home-made fishing tackle,
one native Alaskan can capture more
fish In a day than can any three white
men with their latest improved Imple
ments. The Alaskan Indian shows his
intelligence by clinging to his own im
plements and tools, and at the same
time in quietly adapting himself to the
greatly altered conditions of his en
vironment. He will adopt certain of
our custom and utensils, but refuses
to adopt many others. While he will
always give yon the rnopt superstitious
; reasons for clinging to his own time-
honored tools, he is quick to decide
that the spirits wish him to make use
of any new idea which will be an ac
tual benefit under existing conditions.
These Indians use the same fishing
tackle that Bering found them using
in his explorations of 1741. and which
George Vancouver found during his
first visit among them t;s a midship
mite under the famous Capt. Cook a
few years later. Fish are abundant.
Alaskan homes are always near some
excellent fishing grounds. A village is
often situated in a certain location
simply to be near good halibut banks.
Hooks used in fishing for halibut are
usually made of a fork of spruce root,
to which an iron barb, which some
times takes the place oi the one of
bone used in the primitive hook. All
bait Is secured to the hook by means
of a small cedar cord, which Is neatly
! lashed amout the hook when it is not
in use. tiaiiDtii reeu near me nottom
of the sea. The Indian bits a method,
as ingenious as it is rude, to keep his
bait where it will be roost tempting.
He will tie a stone a few feet above
the hook on his line with a slip-loop,
which the halibut In trying to get
away, will twitch out. releasing the
stone and giving the Indian warning
that he can draw up his 50 or 10ft
pound halibut without the a! Vtlonal
weight of the stone. Betw- - the
hook and the stone sinker is a wooden
float whittled in the shape of a duck,
which, in seeking to rise from e sur
face, draws the hook up tlie nroper
distance from the bottom. Pittsburg

1le Three Oldest Blater.
There can be no doubt that the three
oldest sisters in the United States,
possibly in the whole world, are some
Indian women in San Diego county,
in Southern California. Tbe women
are Se-mul-lah (meaning peaceful),
Ning-lio (meaning black-eyed), and
Temescal (meaning sharp at a bar
gain). Se-mul-lah, the eldest, was 103
years old last June; Nlng-lio is lOo.and
Temescal was 96 some time last sum
mer. - They are members of the Sa
boba tribe. Each of them has several
score of descendants. The ages of the
sisters is a matter of record in the mus
ty old registers in the archives of the
mission of San Gabriel, in Los Angeles
county.

Every year 600,000 umbrellas are
said to be lost in Paris.. According to
these statistics, one person in every

say that ladies are much more careful

number of parasols taken to the lost
property office annually is only about
100.

Which the doctors said an operation -wad tbe
only hope. The oper

the jawbone and
