What is in a name? General Val
eriano Weyler, of the .Spanish army,
the new captain-general of Cuba, al
though he has a German name, is
really of Irish extraction, says an ex
chanee. He is sixty years old, and ex
tremely energetic. He distinguished
himself during the Carlist war, and at
tracted attention during the Spanish
war against the Moors in Africa.
General Weyler was sent to Cuba in

and served under two captain-generals.
He remained there more than
two years, aod was recalled to Span
on account of charges of extreme
cruelty made against him.
Col. Bixby has figured out that "if
the recent snow in Nebraska was
stacked up on a mile square of alluvial
soil, with perpendicular walls, it
would extend skyward almost twe
enies. If melted a standpipe, cover
in? the same area and 110 feet in
height, would be filled to the brim and
run over in places. We can rejoict
again that the drouth is broken and a
crop is now assured."

Atchison is full of nice girls who
will make sacrifices during Lent for
the purpose of earning an Easter
offering for their church. The people
hear of this, but the Lord has one ear
to the eround waiting to hear from the
girl who will let the church slide, and
make her sacrifice in a way that will
lighten her mother's work and wor
ries, whether she earns any money by
it or not. Young people hear entirely
too much about their duty to their
church, and too little about their duty
to their mothers. Atchison Globe.

Since then all is changed, and today it

Atwood and several fighters amoiig

erness. They say that sentiment for
McKinley is all right but when it
comes in conflict with the business of
"standing up for Nebraska" and belp
ng to advertise the state, sentiment
isn't "in it" The fact is pointed out
that Gen. Manderson is aman without
h blot on his record, has made a proud
record for himself as a soldier, and de
serves all that can be done for him.
It is a pretty fight, and the democrats

The only way to find out which of a

To the afflicted:
Several years ago I discovered a
slight falling and bleedingof the lower
bowel which increased and became
very distressing. I made inquiry as
to the nature of the disease and learned
that I bad a somewhat aggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Piles. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem
porary relief. Not being satisfied with
such slight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of the famous Magnet Pile
Killkh. I used it. Immediate relief
from pain followed, and soon a com
plete cure was affected.

TBK THINGS THAT YOU MISSED.
I've noticed a thing as I've traveled about.
And you. too, have noticed the Fame, I've no
doubt.
Wherever you go, or whatever you see,
In the land of the serf , or the land oX the free,
Your sure to be told when your Btory is done.
That of all the fine things there Is under the Bun.
By the blue sty o'erspread or Dy summer winds
kissed ,
'Tis the thing that you missed.
I saw Monte Carlo, and Florence and Cannes ,
The Nj'hlni and the mummies besides the blue
Nile.
I stood on the top of Mount Neby awhile;
Bnt when to the land of my birth I returned.
From every old crony that met me I learned
That grander by far than the things on my list
Were the things that 1 missed.
I crossed the Sahara to Egypt of old,
I crossed the wide plains and the mountains of
gold ;
I saw where the temple of Solomon stood.
And gathered such relics of It as I could,
I blept in an .African jungle all night.
Next morning my hair was a silvery white,
For cobra capello on every 6lde hissed.
But the best things that I missed.
I have been taking notes and the next time I
roam
Away from the comfortsand pleasures of home,
To increase my knowledge of men and of
things,
And drink from out learning's original springs;
I'll pass by the wonders of which I have read
For those my friends recommended instead .
I'll endeavor to, either by turn or by twist.
See the things that I missed.
