FRIDAY, NOVKMBER 17, 18J9. Tiik forces of Atkinson, Aguinaldo &, Co. aro on tho run aa a rosutt of tho rocont elections. Tine rocont experiences of McLean and (Joehol will Hcat coly justify candi dates in 1!)00 in caliinf upon Mr, Jiryan to help them out with speeches. Tiik Nkws presents a brightor ap poaranco than usual thia evening, as a roult of putting new rollers on the proas. It is tho aim of tho publisher to irivo tho readers a roadablo paper, both as to contents and the manner in which it is printod. Thkiie is much excitement in polit ical circles over tho prospect of tho official count olecting Ely, the repub lican candidato for regent, over Rich, fusion. Thia will not bo at all pleas ing to tho fusionists, but the republi cans aro well pleased with the pros pect. Tiik "militarism" bugaboo of tho Jittlo American party was knocked out in ono round by ex-Sonator Man dorson tho other day, who showed that a United Statos regular army of 05,000 men today is proportionally smaller than an army of 20,000 was in 181'J, or 25,000 in 1870. Tiik prosperous workingmon of the country ovidontly remembered on tho last oloction day tho failure of an ex poriment in change of administration made in 1892, and this accounts for tho unexpectedly iargo republican vote in the great manufacturing sections whero protection has brought prosper ity to evory lino of industrial enter prise mmm Mm Tiiekh seems to ba sorao doubt whether Mr. Bryan will be in great demand as a campaign orator in 1900, in viow of tho fact that the republi cans pollod an unexpectedly large vote and gained substantial victories in every state in which ho made speeches in tho recent campaign, excepting Ne braska, whoro a fusion of populism and flat-money democracy was successful. The people who wore charging the administration with a terrible loss of life during the recent war are saying nothing moro on that subject, now that thov have an opportunity to compare our losses with those of Great Britain in her campaign in progress now in South Africa, where the English losses in action in a month have been greater than those of our entire army in all tho war with Spain. The announcement that more than one-half of the gold produced in the world in the last four hundred years has been mined in the last forty years is proving embarrassing to the people who were brushing the dust off their campaign speeches of 1896, in which they asserted that gold was appreciat ing because its production did not keen pace with the demands of the world for a circulating medium. Campaign assertions of 1896 read strangely now. Tho popocratic ora tors of that occasion were insisting that tho gold mines of the world could not possibly produce enough of the yellow metal to keep pace with the world's requirements for an increased currency; yet the gold production of the prosent year will far exceed the average annual production of silver and gold combined during the period between 1873 and 1S96. The Omaha News (independent) says: "It would be a bold assertion, however, to say that Mr. Bryan has 6cored a final victory. His defeat, in deed, would have been a final defeat, but now he has still to traverse a long and thorny path from here to the democratic convention, and another even rougher road thence to the white house. Mr. Bryan's victory was by no moans complete. In Ohio the democrats suffered a crushing de feat, and in Kentucky also, the repub licans claim large majorities,although Mr. Bryan worked might and main on behalf of the regular candidate." Senator Mills has thrown a new bomb-shell into the democratic camp by announcing, in a recent interview at San Francisco, that he is an expan eionist,and is"in favor of holding onto the Philippines, if we can adjust con ditions to our form of government." Add Mill3 to" the long list of demo crats, including McLaurin, of South Carolina, Morgan, of Alabama, Berry, of Kentucy, Wheeler of Alabama. Black, of Illinois, Fitzgerald, of Mass achusetts, King, of New York, Grace, of New York, Caffery and McIIenry, of Louisiana, Lindsay, of Kentucky, Gray, of Deleware, and a host of others, who refused to get onto the silver-populist-anti-expansion plat form which Bryan and his followers are now trying to patch together, and tho outlook for democratic success far extremely dubious. The campaign is now over, but the "Exquisito" is still the most popular 5-cent cigar on the market. H. Spies, manufacturer. ZUCKWEILER & SLlGflTlNU THE CHURCH. The fault clearly is not in Chris tianity itself, but in the methods of its presentation. Too many extraneous and unnecessary features have been introduced in the church service which distract and weary the hearers and help but little to promote relig ious belief and spiritual development, says Leslie's Weekly. The vast major ity of people who attend church regu larly (we refer here to tho Protestants) and help to support it Gnancially and otherwise go to hear the preaching; the sermon is, for them, the chief fea ture of the exercises, all the others be ing merely subsidiary. In older times this want was recog nized, and the sermon occupied the chief p'ace in the order of procedure, and the larger part of the time and at tontion. But this is not so now. Even in many of the so-called non-liturgical churches the tendency has been to relegate the sermon more and more to the background, the larger emphasis apparently being placed on the music, the responsive reading and other fea' turos. As a typical instance, it may be noted that in a certain Presbyter ian church, recently, the exercises that went before the sermon occupied three-quarters of an hour, and the ser mon itself thirty minutes. Herein we believe that a Berious mis take has been made, and one which ac counts in material degree for the de cline in church attendance. People are wearied out with all the uprisings and down-sittings which the service calls for before the sermon begins. So much time is occupied with what are regarded as incidental or preliminary exercises that many bearers are brought to a frame of mind where the sermon does comparatively little good. The long wait has taxed tho patience and wearied the body, and the sermon falls on nardenod and unresponsive soil. The sermon is what tho people. go to hear more than anything else, and nothing should be allowed to over shadow it or push it to the back' ground. Let it be short, practical and full of vital force and truth, and it will attract and hold the people. INFORMATION AND OPINION. After twelve years' litigation the title of ex-Postmaster General Don M Dickinson, of Detriot, Mich., to Strom- ness Island, in tho St. Clair river. which congress attempted to dedicate as a national park, has been declared valid. The pension agency at Knoxville, Tenn., has upon its rolls the name of the widow of one soldier of the re vol u tion, and while there are no names of soldiers who served in the war of 1812, there are the names of the widows of more than 400 of them. Mrs. Vanderbilt, widow of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, was so pleased with the services of the New York po lice at the funeral of her husband that she has sent a check for $5,000 to Chief of Police Devery to ba turned into the police pension fund. It is a well-known fact that New YorKers come to Philadelphia when they want a long and undisturbed sleep, but it appears they do not come often enough. Here, foi inntance, is J. Wilson Klcey of Brooklyn borough who went to sleep while pedaling his bicycle and ran into a heavy wsgon which threw him and bumped bis head on the pavement. It took several doc tors to wake him. Dr. Leyds, the representative in Europe of the Transvaal government, repeats President Kruger's assertion that, if the republics must eventually belong to England, the latter will pay a price for them that will astound the world . Capt. Lewis McNabb.of Company K, Forty-ninth Unitei States Volunteer Infantry, colored, recently promoted from being First Sergeant in Twenty fourth regiment infantry, committed suicide at St. Louis, blowing his head off with a Krag-Jorgensen rifle. Dock Master Willtam G. Cramp has severed his connection with the Cramp Drydock company of Philadelphia. He was the best known expert in his Una in the country, and had docked thousands of vessels without a single mishap. To Patrons of "The News ."

Fred Guenther, one of the pioneer settlers of Eight Mile Grove precinct, has rented his home farm to John Boom and in the spring expects to move to Plattsmouth and ppend tho rest of his time in peace and comfort. He is at present the owner of threo large farms in Cass county. It is reported that Richey & Dick son of Louisville are going to start a lumber yard here in a few days. If they put in a good complete Btock they will deserve a good trade, but if thoy intend to use this yard as a dumping ground for the Louisville yards thoy ought never to sell a stick. Just where they intend to locate their yards has not been learned. Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a slave was made free. He 9ays: "My wife has been so helpless 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 nervousness, sleeplessness, melan choly, headache, backache, fainting and di7zy spells. 1 his miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down people.

"What this country needs," said he, in his piping voice and Yankee accent, "is u real good licking!" An Englishman present promptly said with unmistakable Eng lish accent: "Quite rlgnt, Mr. Greeley, quite right. The country needs a 'lick ing.' ' But Mr. Greeley, without glanc ing in the Englishman's direction or seeming to pay any attention to the in terruption, went on in the same squeaky tone: "But the trouble la there's no nation that can give it to us."

Infant mortality is something fright ful. Nearly one-quarter die before they reach one year, one-third before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen!

The sultan of Turkey was more than ordinarily disturbed by the outbreak in Candla, and the subsequent demands of the admirals of the international fleets in Cretan waters. His first act was to send an identical circular to the foreign chancelleries in Constantinople charging that the British provoked tho rioting and murders. When, however, the British admiral at Candla sent his ultimatum to the Turkish governor, the sultan directed his minister of for eign affairs to intercede with the for eign ambassadors for less severe terms. Instead of securing a time-serving commission to determine the responsi bility for the outbreak, the premier went back to tho sultan with the ad vice to yield. Under the ultimatum tho Mussulman authorities arrested a number of alleged ringleaders. Since then the British admiral demanded the disarmament of the Mussulman popu lation. Lord Salisbury ordered deci sive action and reinforcements were sent to the island. Bismarck's Iron Nerve Was the result of his splendid health.
