Call and See Us Get Your Money's Worth The Semi-Weekly News-Herald BARGAIN- AGUINALDO is on the coast with a sea in front of him and General Young and his cavalry behind him. His situation is almost as precarious as that of bis running mate,W. J. Bryan. The latest from South Africa is that Laydsmith hesitates about being taken and General Joubert refuses to stay dead. Sir Rodvers Buller is traveling incognito while the British are anx ious to know what the Boers are going to da Rev. Fred Warren has branched out into the newspaper field and is running a warm pop paper up in Polk county. His editorials are so hot that they curl the paper. If Rev. Fred isn't on both sides of every question within a year we miss our guess. It seems to be the money in the office of clerk of the supreme court that attracts fusion patriots, and not cheap glory. The allied forces of re form cannot insure the country against imperialism and the gold standard until they get possession of this office, and then the country will be safe. If D. E. Thompson should get a controlling interest in the Omaha Bee he would show Gilbert M. Hitchcock how to run a paper that is a paper. Colonel Thompson never smelled the smoke of defeat until he tackled a sen atorial boom, and in that line Colonel HitchcocK knows how it feels to stand out in the hall while the banquet is go ing on inside. Considerable complaint comes to The News in regard to owners and keepers of cows who persist in turning their animals loose at night to forage upon innocent citizens. This is a nuisance that the city officials should strive to do away with at the earliest possible date. No person cares to have cattle eating up everything that is left outside. Hebe is a chance for Mr. Bryan. The Tagal organ in the Philippines, the Independencia, declares that "Rizal, Bryan and Aguinaldo are the glorious trinity of our political re demption." If Mr. Bryan and his as sociates in the United States are suffi ciently helpful to enable Aguinaldo to establish independence in the Philip pines, Mr. Bryan might transfer his presidential aspirations to that spot, where he appaars, according to the Indepencia, to be extremely popular. Preachers of the African Metho dist church in New Jersey propose to urge definite action among the col ored religious bodies of the state to stay the increase of crime among that people. Penal statistics of the state show that in its prisons the average of white convicts ehow that in its pris ons the average of white convicts is as 1 to 1,463 of population, while col ored prisoners are in startling propor tion of 1 to 160. It is evidently time for missionary work among them on the part of their own race and others, and they seem to stand in the most urgent need of it. American capital is being rapidly invested in the island which have of late come under the control of the the United States government. The business men of the country realize that we have to send abroad $250,000, 000 a year for tropical products, and think they might as well get their share of the profits from the produc tion of these articles, every dollar's worth of which can be grown in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip pines, and thus keep this vast sum of money within our borders instead of distributing it to the outside world every year. The old soldiers of the war of 1861-5 have nn patience with the perform ances of the fault-finders in the so called democratic party of today. Gen eral Dan Sickels, who was in Wash ington the other day, said: "I have always baen a democrat and always expect to be one, but Bryanism is not the faith of the old-time leaders of the party. I would scorn myself were I to pretend to indorse such principles as were embodied in the Chicago plat form, which has already nearly made shipwreck of the democratic party; and if put forward again, the verdict against it will be more overwhelm ingly crushing than in 1896." A UNIQUE question is being raised in the various courts of the state which may have a far reaching influence. The constitution of the United States provides that no person shall be tried for a felony without having been first indicted by a grand jury. The statutes of this. state permit prosecution upon information without an indictment. The supreme court of this state has held that an information is sufficient, but the attorneys for Bolln, the do- ZUCKWEILER & faulting treasurer of Omaha, have taken the question to the United States supreme court, where it will be finally settled. The attorneys for Harris raised the same question yes terday, but the judge followed the holding of the state court and over ruled the plea in abatement. The Bolln case will be followed with keen interest by attorneys generally, as many states have pursued tha same course as Nebraska. Eveky year when the rich autumn days of October set in, with cool nights but warm noons, there is a cry of "Indian summer" prematurely raised. But the real Indian summer comes at a later date; generally at the middle of November, and sometimes is prolonged until the first week of De cember. Indeed it is, on the whole. nearer to December than to October It is Indian summer which we are now enjoying, a season wnicn maKes our changeful and often inclement climate for the time the most perfect in the world. We may fix the date of its oc currence by coupling it with the SL Martin's summer of our European cousins, which comes with or follows St. Martin's Day, November 11. But the date is most of what the two have in common, the eastern season being indeed mild in temperature, but gen erally damp, moist an unpleasant. INFORMATION AND OPINION. The state of North Dakota has just passed its tenth birthday. "Fleet- footed civilization!" cries the Bis marck Tribune. "But yesterday we had the sod shack, the ox team, the prairie schooner and the war-whoop of the untamed red roan; today we have soirees, musicales, pink teas and functions, and we have golfers in plaid cloaks and populist3 with whiskers. We are only ten years old, but we are a great state." General Nelson A. Miles and Mrs. Miles will not return to Washington from their western tour of army posts until December, when preparations will be begun for the marriage of their daughter. Miss Cecil Miles, to Colonel, U. S. A., which is to take place in January. Governor-elect Nash of Ohio will take care of Charles Foster by ap pointing him state prisoner manager at a salary of $1,000 a year. Foster was a member of congress, governor of Ohio and secretary of the treasury under Harrison. But he failed,owing $1,000,000. When President McKinley greeted the returning Thirteenth Minnesota volunteers he gave his boutonniere to the little daughter of F. L. Stetson of Minneapolis. Stetson was a volunteer, but arrived later than his comrades. being on bick leave. Little Miss Stet son told about the cause of her father's datention, and Mr. McKinley replied: "Then give him this flower as my greeting when he returns." Admiral Dewey is ded tired of be ing lionizod, and no wonder. He can't go down town to buy a piece of chew ing tobacco without being surrounded by a howling horde of lunaticd who want to grasp his band and get a lock of his hair. He detests th-it sort of thing, and shows it plainly enough, yet the half civilized people of the east do not take a tumble, but go on persecuting him. The admiral will probably have to go to see again, to enjoy rest and quiet. By the way, a man was interviewed at Athioon the other day with curious results. Before and during the fight at Manila he was captain of the gun crew on the ad miral's flag ship, and did good execu tion; this man has nothing but criti cism for Dewey, and he says that the sailors on the Olympia hated him. Beatrice Express. A book in manuscript, entitled "Chained to the RockB,." was left by the late Colonel In man, plainsman and author,who died at Topeka. Kan,, wit b directions that it should be published, it being a history of his life. Mra. Plant, widow of the capitalist, Henry B. Plant, who recently died in Connecticut, threatens to contest her husband's wilL By the terms of the will, Mrs. Plant receives an allowance of $30,000 a year. Her friends assert that she is not satisfied with this. Confirmation was made at Omaha of the report that Senator John M. Thurston was to wed Miss Lola Pear man, of Washington. The wedding will take place in Washington this week, and the Senator and his bride will take a two weeks' wedding trip before returning to Washington. When a man arrested in Boston on a charge of non-support was fined $20 bis neglected wife secured his release by paying the fine. Then, under a provision of the law covering such cases, which provides for the payment of the amount of the husband's fine to the wife, the sum was refunded to the woman and the pair departed rejoic ing. Recently the Belgian steamer Bel gique, from Antwerp for Alexandria, foundered off the Casquet rocks, near the Island of Alderney. A boat was launched, containing sixteen men, but five of these died of exhaustion aDd three others were drowned in the en deavor of the ship Saint Kilda to res cue them. Eighteen persons, includ ing the captain, out of a total crew of twenty-six, are believed to have been drowned. Further contempt proceedings have been brought at Boston in connection with the suit of Joseph C. Woodbury against Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, to re cover damages for alleged libel. This time the action is instituted against the defendant by the plaintiff. An order of notice has been issued by the superior court, returnable on Monday, for the defendant to show cause why a writ of attachment should not bo is sued against her for contempt. It is alleged that the defendant caused to be published in certain papers on Oc tober 27 certain articles containing nl leged false and misleading statements, in which the issues involved in the case were commented upon. A ten-year-old Boston girl on her way to school turned to throw a kiss to her mother, who stood watching her in the doorway of the home the little one had just left. At that in stant a beam, falling from the top of a building in course of construction, struck the child on the head, killing her at once. Spain's Greatest Need. Mr. It. P. Olivia, of Barcelona, Spain, spends his winters at Aiken, S. C. Weak nerves had caused severe Dains in the back of his head. On using Electric Bitters, America's greatest blood and nerve remedy, all pain soon left him. He says this grand medicine is what his country needs. All America knows that it cures liver and kidney trouble, purifies the blood, tones up the stomach, strengthens the nerves, puts vim, vigor and new life into every muscle, nerve and organ of tho body. If weak, tired or ailing you need it. Every bottle guaranteed, only 50 cents. Sold by F. G. Fricke & Co. 1 Hiram Clark, an enterprising resi dent of Watertown, Mas?., recently de vised a one piece, rubber lined cotton undergarment which was intended to be waterproof. He expected to make a fortune by the sale of the same to miners, seafaring men and others whose vocations are pursued in damp or wet places. Unfortunately for Clark, however, when he donned the new garment and submitted it to a heat test the rubber lining melted and stuck to his body, so that the fabric was only removed with the aid of a pair of scissors and a scraping knife, and with great pain to the wearer.

F. G. Fricke & Co. Residing: la Three Countries. Cases have been known of a man's bouse being in two parishes and even in two counMes, but a Belgian paper gives an instance of a miller, whose premises are In Bavaria, Prussia and Lorraine, though, of course, he claims to be a frontier inhabitant. He is the miller of UhrigmuhIe-loz-B!iesmen?en. and the three territories on whieh lie dwells touch each other, the line ot demarcation being in the kitchen Thu miller cannot really say that he Is a Bavarian a Prussian, or an inhabitant of Lo.ralne, for, after investigation, It has been discovered that he sleeps' in Bavaria, Uvea In Prussia and works in UrnOne.

The constant delays in the depar ture of British transports, owing to the bad quality of the food supplies shipped by the contracto- s,is occasion ing a scandal and great indignation. The Arawa on Thursday had to be de layed twenty-four hour?, owing to the faet that 15,000 pounds of rotten English colonial beef and mutton had to bo replaced. All the meat had to be taken out of the ship and dumped overboard at sea.

The subject of a young lady's essay, who was graduated from a high school in an Ohio town, was "Hawthorne," and in her essay she said, "At the age of thirty-nine Hawthorne married and took his wife to the old manse." The day after the commencement one of the village maidens called on Miss E., and in talking the affair over, remarked: "Wasn't it awful that Maude should say such a thing in her essay?" Miss E. Inquired to what she alluded. "Why, she said at the age of thirty-nine Haw thorne married and took his wife to the old man's. Why didn't she say to his father-in-law's?" Lancaster, N. H., says, "One Minute Cough Cure is tho best remedy for croup I ever used." Immediately re lieves and cures coughs, colds, croup, asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, grip and all throat and lung troubles. It prevents consumption. F. G. Fricke & C . I.-ne Majette In Uermanr. Chattanooga Times: The press laws and more especially that dragnet known as les majeste, as administered in Germany, disgraces civilization. Al most daily some eaitor or some mere clown is pulled up and fined or sent to prison, or both, for a passing and respectful crticism of imperial rant and nonsense, or for some clumsy wit ticism about his royal highness' coat or the way his nibs sits his horse! We cennot conceive of a high spirited and Urave people enduring such insult tamely, without resenting it violently.

The country store owned by Mr. Ja bez Dodd contained such a motley conglomeration in the way of "stock" that a village lounger one day offered to bet that another man could not ask for anything In ordinary, every-day use without Uncle Jabe's producing it. The two men entered the store, and the challenged party said: "Got any false teeth on hand to-day, Uncle Jabe?" Without an instant's hesita tion, Uncle Jabe put his hand to his mouth and a moment later held out the hand with a set of grinning teeth in it "There!" he eaid. "I'll sell that set mighty cheap for my gooms hev shrunk so they don't fit me no more, and I'm goin' to have some new ones.

Eczema is more than a skin disease, and no skin remedies can cure it. The doctors are unable to effect a cure, and their mineral mixtures are damaging to the most powerful constitution. The whole trouble is in the blood, and Swift's Specific is the only remedy which can reach.such deep-seated blood diseases. Eczema broke out on my daughter, and con tinued to spread until her head was entirely covered. She was treated by several good doctors, oat grsw worse, and the dreadful disease spread to her lace. She was taken to two celebrated ' Jspsii'v? vo two ceieurateu '.sfrn zJ springs, but Te-6P&&$ no benefit. Many -ASS23Jfuftvr health ceived no benefit. Many patent medicines were taken, but without re sult, until we decided to try S. S. S.,and by the time the first bottle was finished, her head be gan to heal. A dozen bottles cured her com pletely and left her skin perfectly smooth. She Is now sixteen years old, and has a magnificent growth of hair. Not a sign of the dreadful disease has ever returned. H. T. Shore, 2704 Lucas Ave.. St. Louis, Mo. Don't expect local applications of soaps and salves to cure Lczema. They reach only the surface, while the di sease comes from within. Swift's Specific is the only cure and will reach the most obstinate case. It is far ahead of all similar remedies, because it cures cases which are beyond their reach. S. S.
