The State Journal says: The many
friends of J. D. Calhoun will be sorrow
to know that he has decided to remain
in Florida. His position on the Tampa
Times is both pleasant and profitable
and he is doubtless not anxious to ex
change it for a situation that might
require him to die a second time for
the same man. There was something
pathetic in his departure from Ne
braska, and while the press gang
would hail his re' urn with joy, they
cannot wonder that he respectfully
declines to play the role of a lamb to
be o fie ied twice on the same altar.
Xo man will make greater personal
sacrifices for a friend tbau Calhoun,
but he has euough discrimination to
know when the cup is full.
It's much easier for a man to let go
a good job than it is to pick up one.
Prosperity is more than some men can
stand or, in other words, they never
realize when they hare a goud thing
until some other fellow gets it. When
a man is doing well he had better hold
ou to what he has and is certain of
then to look for bigger game and often
collapse in his effort to find it.

Ashland proposes soon to le the
most noted pleasure resort in Ne
braska. A line steam pleasure boat
has been purchased which will have a
tine course of five miles up Salt creek
to a finely laid out park west of the
town. A strong company has taken
hold of the matter and will rapidly
push it to the front. The boat is ex
pected to be ready for use by Decora

The Pullman sleeping car i'Iatts
mouth" has been received at the shops
here for repairs. The Alliance Grip
says: Pullman sleeper "IMattsmouth"
in train 42, Wednesday, was discovered
on fire in the vestibule when the train
was about two miles east of Provo,
and was making great headway when
it was discovered. How the fire origi
nated is not known, and only the
timely discovery is all that saved the
car from total destruction. At the
rate of speed the train was running it
would soon have fanned the small
blaze beyond control. The train was
stopped and it was necessary to cut
several holes in the roof to get water
to the fire.
The Nebraska City News says: The
annual meeting of the Turn-verein for

other places.
John Virgin, of Fairbury, has given
the result of the experiment he made
in corn raising last summer, that is, as
to the results in palling the suckers.
He had 40 acres in corn, and he hired
at an expense of 56 cents per acre, men
to pull them off, except enough to de
monstrate the advisability of following
his practice. The corn where the
suckers were pulled off averaged 5Si
bushels to the acre. That on which
the suckers were left averaged 431
bushels to the acre. The difference, 15
bushels to the acre, made a handsome
profit for the work done. The cultiva
tion was alike.
The steamer Capitola Butt, that
was used for years at this point as a
ferry, was burned at Sioux City on
Saturday last, having caught fire from
a defective flue while in mid-stream.
The boat was owned by Gisler & Tal

000, with but little insurance. The
boat was sold about two years aeo to
these parties by the late Captain Butt.
The boat wag. built at Burlington, la.,
for himself and sons years ago and

Trouble In Norway.
Considerable trouble has arisen be
tween Norway and Sweden owing to
the former country's demand for a
Tiore extended home rule policy.
Norway for mauy centuries, was an
independent kingdom. About the
fourteenth century, however, the Nor
wegian people' becam weary of con
stant warfare, and succumbed to the
rules of Denmark. When Denmark
in 1814 was obliged, ov iug to her im
plication in European affairs, to cede
certain territory to Sweden, she gave
up Norway. Norway objected to be
coming a vassal to Sweden, and owing
to her rebellion, was allowed consid
erable freedom iu directing her own
affairs. King Oscar II., rules as king
over both countries. Norway has her
own parliament, calltd the storthing,
to which by universal suffrage she
elects her representatives. Although
all measures passed by the storthing
must receive the signature of the king,
a bill can become a law over the king's
veto, if passed a third time in the
storthing. Norway sends representa
tives to the ger.eral parliament of both
countries, called the riksdag. Norway
is however, dissatisfied, and h ugs for
more power over her own country.
She is especially anxious to regulate
her own foreign affairs. Kii.g Oscar
has attempted to smooth matters over,
but Norway is unwilling to accept any
half way LueuMirt. Iu Jcnuitr last
the Norwegian ministry with Emil
Stang holding the position as premier,
tendered his resignation to Kinx; Oscar.
Owing to the reluctance of each parly
to form a new ministty, and the le
fusal of each party to allow the other
the power of attempting it, matters
have remained at a standstill as far as
theNorwegian parliament isconcerued.
Humors of a settlement of Norway's
claims by war are occasionally started.
The most probable method of settle
ment w ill be, it is claimed, according
to King Oscar's suggestion. This is
that the foreign office be organized on
an equal representation of the two
countries. That the person chosen for
minister of foreign affairs be a native
of Norway or Sweden, and that the
minister be responsible to a delegation
composed of members chosen from
each country.
i-yptlau Territory.
France and Great Britain hae in
dulged iu considerable controversy in
regard to their respective rights to
certain territory in Egypt. The British
Niger company which controls consid
erable territory in the valley of the
upper Nile in Egypt, complained that
the French colonists were infringing
on the company's possessions. Sir
Edward Gray, secretary of the British
foreign office, in a recent speech Lefore
the house of commons, made some
aggressive statements in regard to the
action of the French colonists. Had
not the reply which M. Ilanotaux made
;o these statements iu the French
chamber of deputies been rather mild,
considerable trouble might have been
brought about. According to the
French version of affairs, Great Britain
represented in Egypt by iord Cromer,
extends her control of affairs in that
country beyond her real power. The
khedive of Egypt according to M.
Ilanotaux, has control of the upper
Nile valley, and France is therefore
responsible to the former country. The
British plan of sending another expedi
tion toDongoliis the French claim, is
only an excuse for gaining control of
more territory.
Mrs. Strode' llenllh Improved.
The many Flattsmoujlh friends of

hear the following, from the Lincoln

"It is doubtless a proud moment in
a man's life when he is elected to cou1
gress, but a greater joy has recently
come to Hon. J. B. Strode. For some
thing like twenty years Mrs. Strode
has been an invalid, and it is said that
for eighteen years, up to about three
weeks ago, she liaIrieen unable to
stand upon her feet. Duriog the past
three weeks she has been able to get

A Memorial Tablet.
The idea of placing a memorial tab
let, commemorative of the sending of
the lirst telegraph message, has been
suggested by the telegraph historical
society. Samuel F. B. Morse, the in
ventor of the telegraph system, by the
aid of the United States government,
established a telegraph line between
Baltimore and Washington in 1844.
On May 1M, 1841, the first message was
sent from the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road station opposite the old Maltby
house. The proposed memorial tablet
will be placed on this spot, and will be
historical in character. It will repre
eervt th9-5CC!:e of. the laying of the first
telegraph line, the instrument used by
Morse, and one of the most improved
instruments used at the present time,
also a profile of the inventor.
