should die without issue, its estate

The verdict of the jury in the case
of The State of Nebraska vs. Harris
was not a surprise, as it was difficult
to remove from the minds of the
jurors the character of the deceased
and the principal witnesses for the
state. For this reason the case was
exceedingly difficult to try. County
Attorney Root made a vigorous prose
cution and many favorable comments
are heard upon his closing argument
in the case.
The new year is likely to see the
money in circulation in the United
States close to the $2,000,000,000 marie.
The figures on November 1 were 81,-

000 put into circulation through the
redeeming of outstanding bonds by
the treasury department, and the con
stant increase in the country's circu
lation registered from month to
month, and it seems likely that Mr.
Bryan will soon be confronted with a
circulation of $2,000,000,000, notwith
standing his "continuous perform

crease was possible without the free
coinage of silver, and at which time
the country's circulation was but $1,-

Some fifty of the retail merchants
of Massachusetts, representing an as

The woman who is lovely in face,

The ever fascinating problem of the
conquest of the air seems somewhat
nearer solution by the experiments
with a soaring machine which have
recently been conducted In England by
Mr. Percy S. Pilcher. The machine '
consists of two large flat planes, or '
wings, made of bamboo, and covered i
with a light textile material, the en
tire apparatus weighing fifty pounds

Leading silver republicans of Idaho
are refusing to co-operate longer with
the democrats and populists and are
preparing to return to republican
ranks. Secretary of State Patrie, who
was elected as a silver republican in
fusion with democrats, has written a
letter to leading silver republicans of
the state, saying: "I do not see that
up to date anything has been accom
plished by the coalition of the silver
republicans with the democracy ex
cept the upbuilding of the democratic
party and the destruction of the re
publican party in the states in which
silver republicans were strong," and
adds that "it would be impossible for
me to identify myself with the demo
cracy and become a democrat."

How Adam Was Punished.
The other day, in a Sunday-school
