PERSONAL, POLITICAL AND PERTINENT.
Dr. AbielW. Nelson, the inventor
of the humane police club, which has
been recently brought to to the atten
tion of the police authorities, has been
a practicing physician for thirty yeara.
Four years ago an idea of a humane
police club occurred to him, and it con
sists of a rubber envelope over a
wooden core a club with a soft rind.
simulatiEg the corky bark of a tree.
- similar to the flesh on the bones of tli
v fish. A policeman's club is simply an
elongated arm, and gives the police
man the advantage over the other
man. and this humane club gives him
that ample advantage without the ne
cessity of disfiguring a man for life,
or causing other permanent injury.
The policeman has the law and thi
physical assistance on his side, and
chouM nt be given more force than i.
necessary for telf-protection. The
doctor applied for and received a pat
ent that itidudes the coating of anj
core with an elastic covering. The.
club is so made that the rulUi i all
around and sticks to the core, and the
covering is about one-quarter of an
inch thick. The club is of good ap
pearance and looks like a well-made
rosewood or cherry club.
How fast the time llies on. Only a

hens will be wallowing in our beds of

courage to remaik, in passing, that
another crop is now assured. Bixbj

Cornelius Vanderbilt was elated the
other day because he was able to eat a
few stewed oysters and not be dis
tressed. Mr. Vanderbilt has for years
suffered from acute dyspepsia and has
been pleased enough when a bit ot
graham cracker and a sip of malted
milk did not bring agony to him. The
gentleman w ho told of Mr. Vander
bilts happiness over the stewed
oysters remarked that they weie as
much of a feast to nim as a great
C9urse dinner and wines galore would
be to a tramp.
It might be well for those having at
heart the purpose of aid and relief to
the poor and unfortunate to consider
the plan inaugurated by Mayor Pin
gree of Detroit, namely, that of ask
ing prope-ty owners to donate vacant
lots on which men and women who
have no means of support can plant
gardens and raise vegetables for sale
or for their own use, as they may
choose. This system ha3 not only been
successful in Detroit, but in Xev
York City and elsewhere, as well.

Only one man from Nebraska has
been recognized as big enough to sit
in the ways and means committee o!
tne lower house of congress and that
was Hon. W. J. Bryan. Only one
man was b g enough for the coinage,
weights and measures committee, and
that was Hon. VY.A MeKeighan. The
congressmen from Nebraska, previous
to them, and like the present ones,
were allowed place at the tail end of

An irreverent exchange says it isn't
much wonder that we poor mortals
rind it hard work to keep straighl
and be good. The first man was a liar
and a sneak; the first woman kept bad
company and meddled with things
that did not concern her, and her son
killed his brother. Our first ancestors
were a pretty scaley lot. you see, and
its hard to get it out of the blood.
A printer in "making up" news iu
the forms, cetting ready to print, took
a handful of type from the tail end of
a fire item and by mistake put it
against the first part of a funeral
notice. In the paper it read like this:
"The pall bearers lowered the body
into the grave and a3 it was con
signed to the flames there were few if
any regrets, for the old wreck had
been an eyesore to the town for yean.
Of course there was individual loss,
but that was fully covered by insur
ance." The widow thinks the editor
wrote the obituary that way because
the lamented partner of her joys and
sorrows owed him five years subscrip
tion. Exchange.

From Friday' Dally.
This being the week of prayer
among the union churches I may be
pardoned for suggesting to them that
special prayers be said .for one. R. E.
Evans, now judge of the Eighth Judi
cial district, this state. Her" is a
genuine case of heathenism in a civil
ized laud and needs prayers badly.
This broad-minded and liberal (?)
jurist was county attorney of Dakota
county at the time of his election ai
district judge, and the board of county
commissioners were of the opposite
political faith last year, but their
political status changed with the new
official yesr. In order to prevent his
successor being of different politics
ibis kindly judse elect held on to his
attorneyship until the very last mo
ment, when he took the oath of office
as judge. Ileie is a judicial mind fit
for men to gaze upon. Broad, open,
liberal with a benevolence shining as
the summer sun Judge Evans has
earned undying fame. His colossal
intellect well befits him for guard on
the outer wnll in council 16, A. 1'. A..
Genial Pete Brown, of the Nebraska
City Press, was in the city last night
attending the banquet to Judge Chap
man. Brown is the same whole
souled fellow that he used to be when
tie ran the Nebraska City ball team,
tnd his festive ways have not changed
a bit. He is an ornament toNebraska
City, and his paper is one of the statefs
brightest dailies.
The wolfish appetite of republicans
to hold office under any and all cir
cumstances was strikingly illustrated
yesterday when the newly-elected
ounty judge of Dawes eounty, being
t populist, was compelled to forcibly
rject his predecessor, a republican,
rom the building. Why republicans
ire so houndishly tenacious of public
office is a mtstery, but it seems to be
ime that they would rather expire
han yield up a few glories. Being a
democrat I am not interested in the
least in quarrels between populists
nd republicans, as I regard them all
as enemies to mankind.

Cab Fares In Europe.
I found cab hire cheapest, by cranio
ipal regulation, in Naples, whero 70
centimes, cr 14 cents, transports you be
tween two city points. Fourteen cents
acquits, but 14 cents does net satisfy. It
is not easy in Italy to give pecuniary
satisfaction to both parties to a bargain.
The Neapolitan cab, like tho Parisian,
like ethers that I remember on tlie con
tinent, is fonr wheeled, and in tno case
of Naples high and uncomfortable. In
Rome tho tariff for a single run is 80
centimes, or 10 cents, none too high, it
seems to mo. Berlin differentiates its
cash, asserting them in classes, first and
second, and distinguishing them by the
color cf their drivers' coats and collars
and also in the cabs' outfits. So the
minimum charge in Berlin for a first
class cab is 1 mark, or 24 cents, and for
a second class CO pfennigs, cr about 15
cents.

lias Ulackllstcd Insanity.
The following story is told cf John
Brennan of Stevens Point as a criminal
lawyer. Tho story goes that a farmer
who had killed his wife in tho northern
part cf the state font fcr Mr. Brennan
to defend him, offering to deed him his
farm if he would take the case. Bren
nan wanted his pay in advance, and so
the farmer made over the property to
him. The murder vras a most brutal and
cold blooded cue, and Brennan knew
that there was tut cne plea that might
save his client from a life sentence, and
that was insanity. The trial wa3 one of
the fiercest ever fought in a Wisconsin
court. The attorney fcr tho defense oc
cupied a whole day in his closing- ad
dress to the jury, and tho effort was a
masterly cne. The jury found the man
insane, tivd ho was sent to Oshkosh.
Once there he 'improved rapidly and in
a few weeks was discharged. His firEt
act was to sue Brennan for the recovery
of his prcprety, on the ground that he
was insane at the time he deeded it. In
tho fact cf his own argument that the
man was insane Brennan could do
nothing, and the farmer wen his case.
Brennan has blacklisted insanity as a
defense fcr murderers. Milwaukee

Umpire Bill Hays cf tho Windsor has
invented a new system cf calling sleepy
guests. Its very simplicity isit3 supreme
attraction.
The other night a newspaper man
went to the Windsor, and being desirous
of being called at an early hour left in
structions with Umpire Hays to do the
work. Satisfied that everything would
be lovely, tho scribe retired and slept.
Early the nest morning the newspaper
man was disturbed by a lively tattoo
npen tho deer.
"Well?" he demanded sharply.
"I've got an important message fcr
you," said the bellboy oatside.
Yawning until he Fprained his face,
the scribe jumped out of bed, toddled
across the floor and opened the door.
The bellboy handed him an envelope
and then went away. The newspaper
man opened the envelope and found
therein a slip cf paper bearing the fol

A KemetSy For a Cold.
At the beginning of a cold it is very
good to put tho feet in a capsicum foot
bath, wetting the head and face well
with cold water. At the end of ten min
utes rub tho knees dewn with cold wa
ter and dry thoroughly. A housekeeper
can easily prepare this tincture cf cap
sicum herself. To one quart cf vinegar
add one quarter of a pound of red pep
per, bcil slowly for 10 minutes and bot
tle for use. Add twoteaspocnfuls to one
bath.
When there is danger of a cold set
tling on the lungs, make a lotion cf cne
part peppermint oil and two parts of
kerosene oil. Paint the parts where the
pain is located with this lotion. Lay a
fold cf "flannel over and apply a hot wa
ter bag fcr 10 or 15 minutes. This rem
edy is especially good for pain in the
back of the head and neck, soreness and
tightness cf the chest between the shoul
ders. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Funereal Heart.
I attended a funeral in a Danish vil
lage recently. Tho scxtcn of the village
church, who, as is enstomary in those
parts, was also the village schoolmaster,
and whose wardrobe was limited, pre
sented himself in black frock coat and
trousers and a vest cf homespun mate'
rial, red of color and with big silver but
tons, such as one could see the peasants
wear SO years ago.
The minister reproved him for not
wearing a more somber colored vest

How to Address tho Prince.
The Prince of VTales likes to be ad

as 'sir.' It raves time, and I prefer it."
