SENATOU Tiiukston Monday in
troduced a number of petitions asking
for an nn-ti-polygamy amendment to
the constitution.
AN advance of 50 per cent was made
on all classes of furniture yesterday.
This is discouraging to young people
contemplating matrimony.
As A result of the pressmen's strike
in St. Louis, there were no daylight
papers issued in that city yesterday
the first publication the- have ever
missed.
Governor 1'oyntkk is now begin
nlng to realize the importance of his
office. There is a little more import
ance connected with it than ho likes
just now.
TllK prosident has assigned Major
General Wood as military cmnvinder
of Cuba, relieving Major General John
It. Brooke, who has orders to report
in Washington.
It is not presumed that ITon. Or
lando TelTt expected that the gover

Ilayward's placo, but there was no
harm in asking.
TlIEKK is one saloonkeeper in Ma

Wrrn an opera house and a public

many people hold back and try to

The bitter fight over the appoint
ment of a man to fill the vacancy in
the senate is going to leave a groat
many sore spots and will not have the
effect of doing the fusion cause in Ne
braska any good.
The Omaha Daily News was yester
day incorporated with tho secretary
of state, the paid up capital being
150,000. The News is fast growing in
favor in Omaha. It is a lively paper
and is deserving of success.
The Nebraska Stat'j Press associa
tion will hold its annual meeting in
Lincoln on Januarj' 23 and 24. These
meetings are looked forward to with
no Email amount of pleasure by tho
newspaper bojs.. They are a source
of much information, as well as pleas
ure. THE concensus of opinion in Wash
ington and elsewhere is thai Colonel
Henderson will make the best speaker
who has ever had the honor of tilling
that important po.-ition. 0;.e thit.gis
sure he will not cr.use so much dis
satisfaction in the ranks of his own
party.
The citizens of Austin, Tex., have
offered W. J. Bryan one of the finest
residences in the city if ho will locate
there. Tho colonel is too bu?y hunt
ing ducks to render a decision in the
matter just now, but it is not likelj' he
will accept the offer uutii aft-r the
presidential campaign.
In AN interview published in a
Springfield, Mo., paper a few days
prior to the death of Senator Hay
ward, W. J. Bryan is quoted as favor
ing Allen for the vacancy in case of
the Senator's death, Mr. Bryan is
very careful about not getting any
nearer home than Missouri with his
interviews. Ho doesn't want to get
mixed up in the muddle.
There is one pop editor in Ne
braska who is on the square. He is at
the helm of the Ulysses Dispatch and
in hia last i?sue urged Governor Poyn
ter to call together the legislature and
permit the election of a republican to
fill the vacancy created by the death
of Senator Hayward. This shows a
sentiment that is not often seen in the
ranks of his party.
Charles H. Harris, editor of the
News, at Belden, this state, last Sat
urday shot and killed a stockman by
the name of J. H. Blenkiron. The
verdict of the coroner's ju y was that
ZUCKWEILER &
the shooting was done in self defense.
It is stated that tho article over which
tho trouble arose contained only facts
and the editor would not make a re
traction. It is getting to bo too com
mon a thing for people to demand rn
iraclious of articles that are distaste
ful. If only facts are given, no re
traction is duo.
The raonoy in circulation in tho
United States has increased 33 per
cent since Mr. Bryan and his deluded
followers at Chicago and all over the
country in 1S0G announced that our
money could never increase without
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. On July 1. 1896, and on De
cember 1, 1S!)'., it wes $1,0S5,!)30,030,
1X54, with the pro-p ct of crossing the
$2,000,000 mark by the end of the pres
ent month, while the gold coin and
certificates increased from $493,449,242
on July 1, 189(5, to $778,3SS,303 Decem
ber 1, 1899, a gain of 31i per cent in
total currency and 56 per cent in gold
and gold certificates.
The appointment of ex-Senator W.
V Allen by Governor Poynter to fill
tho vacancy in tho United States sen
ate caused by tho death of Senator
Hay ward was no surprise to the peo
ple generally, but it was a great dis
appointment to G. M. Hitchcock and
his friends, and from the present out
look tho end is not yet. nitchcock
attributes his defeat to W. J. Bryan,
who sen t a telegram to the governor
recommending Allen for the place.
Since the World-Herald hns for some
time b 'en Bryan's peisonal organ and
worked incessantly for his success, the
sting of ingratitude ' is almost un
bearable. Bui then, it is pretty cer
tain that the World-Herald will be in
line for the colonel in 1900.
People who are exercised over the
assertion that tho extension of the
tariil linos around the island of Porto
ll'.co would prove disadvantageous to
our sugar-producing interests, forget
that the island itself is less than haif
the size of the state of Massachusetts
and that the sugar-producing area is
simply a fringe along the water's
edge. Pof-to Rico's sugar exportation
in her best years amouted to only
about $6,000,000, a very small percent
age of the sugar which we are com
pelled to buy from foreign countries;
while by eliminating the tariff lines
and accepting her products which we
require, we open to ourselves a market
for $15,000,000 annually of farm pro
ducts and manufactures which
pe. pie of tl at Ular.d are compelled to
import and wou d buy exclusively
from us if our tariff linos wt re ex
tended around the island.

A Gigantic Flower,
The largest flower in the world is the
Rafflesia Arnoldia, of Sumatra. Its size
is fully three feet in diameter about
the size of a carriage wheel. The five
petals of this immense flower are oval
and creamy white, growing round a
center filled with countless long, vio
let hued stamens. Tne flower weighs
about fifteen pounds and is capable of
containing nearly two gallons of water.
The buds are like gigantic brown cab
