RELIEF PLANS UNDER WAY

AdmlBlHl ratios' Finn.
AVashingtos, My 19. The tate de
partment hu already notified the con
suls in Cuba to be prepared to reliere
American sufferers in the island, nod
the navy department is already nego
tiating for a merchant ship to carry
medicine, provision and clothing to
Havana soon after the House shall act
on the Senate resolution appropriating
130.000 for relief.
The consuls are also under orders to
report fully as to the condition of pa
cifico Cubans forced into towns by
General Weyler's orders, and there is
very reason to believe that the next
more made by President Mc Kin ley
will be in the direction of affording re
lief to those non-combatants. The ad
ministration's policy will be developed
' along this line, and there is no proba
bility that the President will sign the
fraligereucy resolution now before the
Senate, even if both houses should
jaasit.
Vhe Republicano of the House pro
Pae to get over the blockade of the
Senate relief resolution Thursday by
having the committee on rules bring in
a rule for the special consideration of
t the Senate resolution. Mr. Bailey is a
member of the committee on rules, and
will make a minority report to give
time also for consideration of the bel
ligerency resolution. On his minority
report he expects to get' a vote
which will show the sentiment of the
House on the proposition to recognize
the belligerency of the Cubans,
; While the majority in the House is
thought to be in favor of recognizing
the belligerency of the insurgents, the
Republican leaders are nevertheless
confident that they can induce their
followers to vote down the Bailey mi
nority report. .
MASON' RIVALS MORGAN.
The New Illlools Senator Makes t
Lively Speech for Cuba.
Washington, May 19,The Morgan
Cuban resolution was taken up in the
Senate at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and
Mr. Mason of Illinois spoke In its sup
port He read President McKinley'H
message to prove that a state of war
existed in Cuba. He referred to Sena
tor Wellington's reference to the
United States Indebtedness to England
and said he acknowledged the indebt
edness. "Thank God," he exclaimed,
we settled a small part of it at Bun
ker HilL Another part of it we settled
here in the Senate two weeks ago."
This latter remark was directed at tho
defeat of the arbitration treaty, and
was the first public reference to it in
the Senate, . .'t-'c..,.-.-'.
Mr. Mason said that this country
was so considerate of the feelings oi
the Spanish minister as to be willing
4 to humiliate American citizens in
Cuba by making them the subjects ol
eharity. "Whether the United States
hall interfere or not," he said, "un
der the providence of God Cuba shall
bo free and there shall be no slaves on
the hemisphere."
Mr. Mason had an extract from a
newspaper letter written by Carl
, Decker read, and in reply to a ques-
tlon by Mr. Wellington said that it
was necessary to take the best infor
mation obtainable. ,f,
Mr. Wellington said that Cuba's was
a government on paper, and Mr. Ma
son retorted:
"As good a government as was be
hind Washington at Valley Forge."
Mr. Wellington replied with some
warmth, saying that he would not per
mit himself to be misrepresented or
American history falsified.
Mr. Mason stood by his original
proposition, saying that withont La
fayette's aid Washington's government
was not worth a "continental damn."
What the United States should do
would be to give to Cuba what Lafay
ette gave to Washington. During the
last campaign he had felt the pulse of
thousands of people and was satisfied
there was a deep general interest
among the people in the interest of
Cuban freedom. He was for Cuba, not
for commercial reasons or for the ac
quisition of territory, after the Eng
lish fashion, but for better reasons.
He predicted that this country would
yet develop a Lafayette for Cuba.

PRETTY GERTRUDE FELDT
Arrested for Running Away From Horn
Jailed On Wight.
Miss Gertrude Feldt was arrested
in Lincoln Monday night at the home
of a reputable citizen, where she has
been working since last Saturday.
She was arrested at the instance of
Sheriff Nelson of Beatrice. Chief Me
lick notified the sheriff of the arrest,
at the same, time asking him to investi
gate the matter thoroughly and be
sure of hici case as the girl had an ex
cellent home here and was getting
along nicely. The sheriff after a little
delay, notified the chief to hold the
girl until he came after her. He said
ber parents could do nothing with her
and intended to send her to the reform
school. Miss Feldt looks to be about
seventeen years old, although her par
ents say she is but fifteen. She is
neatly attired and doesn't look as if
she were in the habit of running around
with toughs, and should be classed as
incorrigible. She says that it was im
possible for her to get along with he?
parents, so she ran away. She spent
the night in jail, and Tuesday was ta
ken back to Beatrice by the sheriff.

Nels Benson, an alleged bootlegger
,'roni Oakland, who has been confined
in the county jail at Tekamah serving
out a sentence of $200 and costs for
plying his illegal traffic, has been re
leased on a writ of habeas corpus. It
was claimed for Benson that he had
served for the statutory time to wipe
out his fine and costs and was entitled
to release. The state opposed his re
lease, claiming . that legal processes
were in operation by which it was ex
pected to collect both fine and costs
from Benson s estate.
Bwludled by a Stranger.
C. It. Olds at Fremont cashed a check
for 85 one evening last week which

Mr. McMahon was in the city and pro
nounced the check fi forgery.

What We Inherit :
We are not to blame for. We cannot be
held responsible for the dispositions and
tendencies which we derive from our an
cestors, nor are we responsible for the
germs of disease which may manifest
themselves in our blood as a heritage
from former generations. But we are re
sponsible if we allow these germs to de
velop into serious disease which will im
pair oar usefulness and destroy pnr hap
piness. We are responsible if we trans
mit to oor descendants tbe disease germs
which it is possible for us to eradicate
by the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla, the
one trne blood purifier. This medicine
has power to make rich, red blood and
establish perfect health iu place of dis
ease. Our Agricultural Export.
There is a gratifying increase la
some of our minor agricultural exports.
For several years a profitable business
has been carried ou ia shipping Ameri
can apples to England, and a consider
able part of the surplus of this year's
abundant crop has been - marketed
there. So many American apples have
been "sent this year also to Germany
that some of the German papers are
agitating for restrictions upon the im
ports. They affect a fear that the fruit
may contain the microbes of disease.
Our exports of butter to Germany this
year are about twenty times as large
as they were three years ago-
