And now comes a turn in affairs
The admiuidUatioo has commenced
the work of reducing the standing
army. In Cuba the number of soldiers
is to be reduced about one half. In the
Philippines military operations are at
an end and a system of police service
is being instituted. The next thing
we know, soldiers will begin to return
from the orient e.a well as f rem Cu a
and the bug-a-boo of imperialism &nd
militaryism will have vanished like a
passing- cloud in summer. There is no
party in the world so set against a
standing army or a military form of
government as is the republican party,
but be it said to the credit of that
party, it never goes into business
by halves. The trouble with Spain
and the speedy settlement of all
matters pertaining thereto is con
clusive evidence of the above assertion,
to say nothing with reference to the
speedy manner in which they dispelled
the financial and commercial panic of
1896. When that bug-a-boo of mili
taryism shall become as dead as is
the issue of free si'ver then there will
be left do cause for being a democrat
of the fusion stripe.
INFORMATION ANU OPINION.
JTJDGE Jessen has opened his first
term of district court. The citizens of
Cass county, regardless of political af
filiations, believe they will find in Mr
Jessen an able and upright judge and
that he will be about as free from bias
nd prejudice as it is -possible for a
man to be. The News sincerely be
lieves the people will not be disap
pointed in their new judge.

perhaps, that is being agitated in this
country. Shall the power .be central

be held responsible for results? For
five years Cleveland has left the hir

superintendent should be an expert in
his line and given a free hand in his
department. If he is not thoroughly

IT 13 stated by one of our exchanges
that the governor of Colorado is seri

mending a law contemplating the or
ganizatlon of a board of medical exam
iners, male and female, in each county,
which shall have power to examine
all persons wishing to marry, with
authority to refuse a license to those
not physically and mentally equipped
to enter the marriage state. Such a
law would doubtless result in an in
creased number of marriages in ad
joining states. It may be some time.

The effort being made by the ma
jority of the business men to have all
merchants close their stores on Sun
day should have the hearty support of
very self-respecting citizen of Platts
mouth. It is not only a disgrace, but
it is demoralizing to the city to have
stores kept open on the Sabbath day.
About the only reason given for open
ing them is that "others do, so I
must." People who trade on Sunday

Other days. Many men used to think
it absolutely necessary that barber
hops be kept open on Sunday, but it
has been demonstrated that men can

Exhaustive estimates have just been
published of the cost of living at Yale.
From 8S0O to $1,000 is considered
enough for the average student. The
investigations show that Yale men are
spending less for drink than they did
a decade ago, and. are more liberally
contributing to religious and philan
thropic societies. The total cost, too,
of going to college is less than it used
to be. In this improved showing ath
letics play a not unimportant part, es
pecially at Yale, where the induce
ments to athletic success are strong
enough to make men willing to under
go considerable privations for the
sake of helping their college. And
self-denial, even for mere success at
athletics, reacts in a beneficial way on
them that practice it.
A new one was worked in Beatrice
recently. A stranger (it was probably
Richard Roe in disguhe) called upon
a prominent dentist, groaning horri
bly with the toothache. He explained
between groans, that he had suffered
so long that an alchoholic stimulant
was necessary before he could undergo
any work on his teeth. He would not
enter a saloon under any circum
stances, and, being a stranger, could
not buy what he wanted at a drug
store. Thereupon the dentist cheer
fully volunteered to get him a little
whiskey, and went away and pur
chased a four ounce bottle of it. Then
he returned and handed the poison to
the btranger, and went into his little
dark room to get his instruments
ready for the torture. When he
emerged from the room, ready for bus
iness, the stranger and tbe bottle had
disappeared, and haven't been seen
since. Ibis is an absolutely new
dodge in Beatrice, and it is particu
larly funny because the dentist who
was so successfully worked is an active
prohibitionist. -Beatrice Express.

A peculiar condition of affairs has
recently been discovered by the stock
men of the Larmie (Wyo.) plains.
For some time past wolf hunters have
been bringing in the pelts of dogs and
collecting bounties on the same as pre
datory wild animals. The hunters
have each time mide affidavit that
they killed the animals among the
haunts of wolves and coyotes. This
has led to an investigation, which dis
closes the fact tnat dogs have been en
ticed away from the ranches by wolves
and coootes, and have taken up resi
dence among the wild animals. The
result has been that the pests have
been breeding rapidly with the as
sistance of the domesticated animals,
which accounts for tbe presenting of
dog pelts for bounty. An effort will
be made to kill off all of the renesrade
dogs and from this time on, only a cer
tain breed of canine will be kept on
the ran cbes.

understand why they do so, as such
women are a trial. March kills off
more people than any other month;

" General Passenger Agent Francis of
the Burlingtoa, at Omaha, received a
un qu- letter ttie other day. It read
"I want to go to San Francisco March
1." Mr. Francis says that this is the
briefest communication of the kind he
ever received. Most people, when
they write for information about a
prospective journey, ask from ten to
thirty questions, and it is a relief for
a passenger man to reply to a com
munication as much to the point us
this one was.
Oa its face it may appear to bo a
small matter, but in reality the ann
ouncement that tbe Burlington road
will begin running a solid train from
St. Louis through to Seattle is full of
significance. It practic.illy means an
other transcontinental line from the
leading metropolis of the Pacific
Northwest to the leading metropolis
of the Mississippi Valley. It means
that the Northwest is to be brought in
to still closer relations with the Mid
dle West through easier facilities of
communication, and emphasizes the
eagerness displayed by the great trunk
systems to get in touch with the com
ing gateway to the Orient and the
North. Seattle Post lnte'ligencer.

day morning tho queen received with
joy and thankfulness the happy news
of the relief of Ladysmith, accom
plished by the troops under command
of iSr liedvers Buller. Her majesty
telegraphed her congratulations to him
and to Sir George White. This was
acidentally omitted from yesterday's
Court Circular. The following Is the
text of her majesty's dispatch to Gen
eral Buller: "I thank God for the news
have telegraphed me, and I congratu
late you and al under you with all my
heart."
The dispatch to Sir George White
read thus: "I thank God that you and
all those with you are safe after your
long, trying siege, borne with such
heroism. I congratulate you and all
nuder you from the bottom of my
heart. I trust you are all not very
much exhausted."
Sir George sent the following reply:
"Your ma ji sty's most gracious message
has been received by me with the deep
est gratitude and with enthusiasm by
the troops. Any hardships and priva
tions are a hundred times compensated
for by the sympathy and appreciation
of our queen; and your majesty's mes.
sage will do more to restore both offi
cers and men than anything else."

To the Troops at Osfontein to Drink Rob
erts' Health,
Osfontein, March 2. The British
camp has been moved here. A heavy
rain is falling, the veldt is Improving,
supplies are rapidly arriving and the
men are in jrod ohealth, despite the fact
that hev have been on half rations for
a fortnight. Cecil Khodes has sent a
qoantitv of champaine from Kimber
ley to be drunk to the health of Lord
Uoberts.
Lord Uoberts has published an order
thinkinc the troops for their courage
and for the zeal and endurance they
have displayed amid the hardships of
a forced march. He says that their !
fortitude and general conduct hava
been worthy of queen soldiers.
A slisrht skirmish occurred six miles
southeast, in watch Colonel Reming
ton had a horse shot under hm. The
Eoer forces on our front are believed
to be under the joint command: or
liotha, Delurey and Dewet. They are
expecting reinforcements from Natal.
The guns that were carturea at
Faardeberg have been brought nere.
The rides captured have, in many
cases, scriptural texts engravea upou
them, for example,- "Lord, strengthen
this arm." It is said that Just prior
to General Cronje's surrender there
was almost a mutiny in the camp.
Cronje Arrives at Simons Town.
Cape Town, March 3. General
Cronje and his party arrived at Simons
Town yesterday. General Cronje was
received by General Sir Frederick For-
estier-Walker and a representative of
Sir Alfred Milner, the overnor or oape
Colony.
What lo Io I'nlil the IliH-tnrH Arrive.
It is ve.-y bard to stand i ti ! y by and
ee our dear ones suiter wniie await-
ng the arrival of the doctor. An Al
bany (X. V.) dairyman calUd at n drur
tore there for a doctor to come and
see his child, then very sick with
roup. Not finding the doctor in, he
left wo.d for him to come at encc on
his return. II- also bought n bottle of
Chamlerlain's Co);h It'iiudy, which
lie hped would giv-3 some relief until
the doctor t-hould arrive. In a few
hours he returntd, taj ing the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, Mr. t)ito Seholt z,
says the family has since recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their
neighbors and friends, until be has a
constant demaud for it from thnt part
of the country. For sale by I'll drug

Those who have never had Blood Poi
