Uncle lion Fitzsimmons was an easy winner in th contest with Shancey. Uncle Sam will send no more troops to China at present. Those now at sea have been ordered to Manila to await developments. . .President McKinley has notified the Chicapo people that pressure of work at tho national capital will not permit him to attend the G. A. R en campment. The storm of Thursday oveninpr seemed to bo genoral throughout the Btato. Crops wero damaged somewhat and many buildinps wrecked but no loss of life is roported. Republicans aro jubilant over the result of their county convention. The tickot is a very stronp one and there are no eore spots. The News has heard no doubt expressed but that it will bo a winner. THE convention at Weeping Water Saturday was one of tho best and most harmonious ever held in the county. Everything w.is conducted in a most tusiness-like manner, and a general good feeling prevailed. IN accepting tho nomination by the populists at Topeka, the democratic leader discussed the silver question at considerable length. He appreciates the fact that they will stand more of the 16 to 1 business than the democrats will. Mention tho namu Mark Ilanna to the child of a populist out west and it will crawl under the bed and stny un til driven out by hunger. Such is the mischief that comes of telling wrong stories in the presence of little ones. Bixby. ' XEnAffKA is eoing to lead all other towns in this section of the state in organizing a mounted rough-rider club. Captain George I. Sheldon has been placed at the head of the club and Netiaw.ka rough-riders will be heard from this fall. The republicans of Hastings oponed their campaign Friday.

A McKinley club was organized at Barlin last Saturday. Sixty voters were enrolled, mostly Germans. Four of the membors were democrats who voted for Bryan four years ago. The Germans down there aro said to be solid for the republican ticket. Weep ing Water Republican. .President McKinley will not bo expected to travel ovor the country making campaign speeches. His "duties in the public service will de mand his entire attention unless mat ters are soon settled. He will rely upon "the public knowledge of- what he has done as president and let others impress tho facts upon the people. Omaha isn't saying much about her population. Tho recent census shows a decrease of about 35,000. Platts . mouth anticipates quite a falling olT. There seems to havo been an immense amount of padding in 1S00. It looks as though tho census takers of this year aro more honest than eomo we have had in times past, or else they didn't take time to get all tho people. The Denver Republican, one of tho two leading papers of Coloralo that supported Bryan in ISfWJ, says: "So far as we are able to learn after care ful inquiry in many quarters not one silver republican in a hundred in Colo rado is willing to accept either the ticket or the platform adopted at Kan sas City. Nobody need be surprised to see Colorado give a majority for Mc Kinley. President McKinley fears the Chinese are going to keep him so em ployed that he will be unable to visit . Chicago during the Grand Army of the Republic encampment. It is said that the president fully realizes that another crisis is rapidly approaehiDg in China and that momentous ques tions, which may involve life or death of the empire may at any time bo pre sented for solution. Ex-Governor Crounse has been nominated for state senator in the Tenth district. He is one of the best and most able men in the state, and he has Accented the nomination at a con- ' siderable personal sacrifico on account of the importance of the campaign. It is quite unusual, however, for a man who has held so many higher positions to accept a less important one, but in so doing Mr. Crounse has 6hown a dis position to serve the people and bis party whenever needed. A COMPARISON. Falls City Journal. Now, gentiomen,let us view the situ ation calmly and unbiased by political predjudices and survey tho situation just as it is. William Jennings Bryan is the nominee for president of the United States. He is billed to speak in a town of 4.000 people,, the county seat of one of the most populous coun ties in his own congressional district. The bills are widely circulated aud every mrans used to draw a crowd. The night for the epoaking arrives, the weather is all that could be de sired and yet when tho presidential nominee of a great party rircs to ad dress the voters of a stctioa of the country that should be favorable toliira he finds himsolf facing less than 1,000 people. Four yeirs ago in tho same town 10,000 people was considered a conservativeestimiUe of the crowd that listened to his address. Gentle men, you know the facts, draw your own conclusion. SHORT. HCT TO Til K POINT. The voter to be, reminded of tho hard times we had four yoars ago should reflect on the terst, eloquent and briof remarks made by President McKinley in his speech accepting tho nomination, as follows: "Wo have lower interest and higher wages; more money and fewer mort gages. Tho world's markets havo been oponed to American products, which go now whero they havo never gone before. We have passed from a bond issuing to a bond-paying nation; from a nation of borrowers to a nation of lenders; from a deficiency of revenue to a surplus; from fear to confidence from enforced idleness to profitable employment. Tho public faith has been upheld. Public order has been maintained. We have prosperity at home and prestige abroad. " The young voters do not realize what a groat blessing a sound and uni form currency is; all dollars are alike to them; yet they won't have to go back in history very far to read up on the miseries that were endured in this country when all sorts of money, of varying values, or no value at all. wore in circulation. Jct them ask the old men about tho trade dollars, and the paper money that was worth a hundred cents on tho dollar one d iy. and fifty cents tho next. A vote for Hryan is a vote for experimental money. Beatrice Express. TnR posters entitled "Undo Sam's Balarco Sheet" and "That Terrible Eel ipso," published by tho American I'rotecti ve Triff leigue. are perhaps the most striking illustrations of the difference in conditions between 1S!)G and 1!00 which have been issued thus far in tho campaign. TheBe posters can be seen in the rooms of any local republican eomruittee, or will be sent to any address for 8 cents. Ask for posters "G"and "II". Address, Amer ican Protective Tariff League. 1 :.."

Armour & Co. have received an or der from the Russian government for 0,000,000 pounds of "beef on the hoof," to feed the soldiers of tho czar in China. Tnis is the largest order of the kind in the history of tho Chicago meat trade. It will take 5,000 fatu d cattle to fill the order.

His lifeless body was found on tho railroad track a mile from his home. No motive for his self destruction is apparont.

Within thirty minutes after eating tho salmon all were taken violently sick, and but for the timely arrival of a family physician would not have sur vived. j Cass county farmers generally ad mit that their corn fields never looked so good as at present,and are confident the yield will bo from fifty to sixty bushels per acre. The wolf in the fable put on sheep's clothing because if he traveled on his own reputation he couldn't accomplish his purpose.

THE MAN 11KIIIND THE IIANO PRESS We have heard in song and story till the theme is old and hoary. Of the "man behind the gun" and "with the hoc;" We have heard it by the column, cither humorous or solemn. That without 'em this old world would never go. Rut I want to tell my brother of the guti, there is another Who's entitled to a notice now and thon. For he keeps all business going, whether gun ning, whether hoeing He's the man behind the hand press with a pen. "To the man behind the hand piess'' diiuk the toast with gladness and stress. For he's making waste place pleasant evry day He is saving this great nation from dire trouble and damnation. By guiding back to right when wo would stray. At his coming all thrones ctunible, haughty x tyrants take a tumble. Justice tears the bandage from her bliuded eyes; For in paths of goodness guiding, and all tonus of wrong deriding. The mau behind the hand press takes the prize. While for millions men arc scheming or oi offices are dreaming. He unselfishly is pushing them along: And while furthering their chances wcarcth patches on his pantses. And b.nveth himsolf backward from a throng. He'd the mainstay ol the village; saves the state Irom loot aud pillage. Keeps the his'try straight that other people make; And at warning men of old tricks, such as green goods aud as gold bricks. The man behind the hand press takes the cako. When it comes to good advising his ability's surprising. For he's able to run all things by himscll; But howe'er you may abuse him you're not able to accuse him. Ol a miverly desire to gather pelf. For he freely gives for nothing yards and yards of church fair putting. And the "Card of Thanks" he runneth every week. Yea, in standing imposition, with a happy disposiiion The man behind the hand press is a freak. He's always rebuking error, to wrong doers he's a terror. And he makes officials line up to the scratel He keeps congressmen all level, else he gives 'em all the devil As a roaster he has never had a match. Overall ol earth's dominions he ml s men tt his opinions. And he keeps the record straight and all complete. So we hope that all who know him will go pay him what they owe him. For the man behind the haul press has to eat. Could I sing like Mason, Howard. "15ix" or Jeff StoQL". I'd go forward And enumerate his virtues one by one. But the list is too extended, and your patience surely ended. So a final word and then this song is done: "Here's to him whose chief ambition is to see the full fruition Of all virtues as the ages onward roll; Him whose courage never talters as he guardcth freedom's altars The man behind the hand press, bless his soul." Will M. Maupin. World-Heral. Omaha. During the civil war, as well as in our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one of tho most troublesome dis eases tho army had to contend with.
