Monday the Visible Supply was is

ble issued today showing aaother de
crease of 4.300.000 bu. also helped the
weather la bracing up prices.
The receipts of wheat last week were
a little less than the previous week,
but ttey were greatly ia excess of a
year ago. The shipments .from pri
mary points has dwindled some .but
they were Iarrer than receipts.
Tbe worlds shipments for the week
somewhat less than useual owing to
smaller exports from the U. S. and
Argr atlae.
Prices ia corn recorded a figure dur
ing the nast week, snowing more thr.n
C1; decline from the extreme higher
xaark of a few weeks ago. The move
meat from the country during the first
half of May has been smaller than was
expected and the exports have been
large enough to rapidly cut down the
stocks at market centers! Receipts at
Western points have been little larger
than those of last year and they were
small for this season of tie year. The
.rouble uas not been with the receipts)
however, but with the export demand.
Foreigners have been spare buyers and
it was the pressure of cash corn going
out of store that caused most of the
weakness. A leading bull in Chicago
who has been holding on through the
recent declines is reported to have let
go of his line. Everything up to yes
terday morning seemed to be ia favor
of tte bears, July corn declining rap
idly to 36 U. and as rapidly recovering
the loss, aad today selling at a higher
price than for over a week. The rapid
advance was probably due to shorts
tryin- to cover after tbey had,, put out
their lines, as anything else, as the
conditions seem to still be as favorable
as at any time - f
The Visible Monday showed a de
crease of 1.982.000 bu. but this, was
about what was looked for.
The market in oats has been about
the most stubborn thiag on the board,
when the other cereals were declining
cats were strong and inclined to move
up. and with the Increase shown in
the Visible still seem to be strong.

Industrial Conditions in Guam
The vice governor of the island of
Guam in describing the industrial con
ditions in that island says that every
native is a laadowner and farmer. A
man may know how to bake bread, make
shoes or. build a house, yet such a tking
as a regular baker shoemaker, or car
penter is unknown in Guam. You may
be kept waiting weeks for a pair of
shoes or a chest or a pair of trousers,
because the man engaged to work for
you has to harvest his corn, or build a
hut on his ranch, or plant rice. Did you
ever imagine what the condition would
be if every one were rich? These are
the conditions in Guam. If you had
a farm producing corn, sweet potatoes,
yams, taro, chickens, pigs, coffee, choco
late, syrup of eocoanut sap, vinegar, ci
der, sugar, beans, pumpkins, etc., would
you go to .work on the road for fifty
cents a day, or hire yourself as a farm
hand for 6 a month, Mexican, and food?
The people of Guam will not do this,
and are therefore called by some lazy
and worthless.'
I do not say it is for the good of the
island that such conditions exist. The
roads and bridges are bad, and nobody
wants to mend them. Formerly all
such work was done" by convicts sent
here from Spain and the Philippines.
We need. laborers, and need them badly.
It would be an excellent thing to import
two hundred or three hundred Chinese.
I have seen them work in Hawaii, and
know how industrious and frugal they
are, and what good husbands they make
when married to natives. The descend
ants of Chinese on the island have
proved themselves to be excellent citi
zens. They are good rice planters, and
we have much land here which could be
cultivated in rice and sugar. Rice and
sugar can not be grown bv individuals.
Even the cultivation of coffee on a largel
pcale is an impossibility witcou - labor
ers. I never saw a country in which
coffee grows better, even down to the
very level of the sea. Yet nobody makes
a business of coffee planting. Each has
his little patch, and none is exported.
Many young men have come here and
gone away discouraged, simply from the
fact that if they do acquire land they
can get nobody to work for them, and it
is a serious thing for a man with only
two hands to get a living oujt of . the
earth. Workmen do not come here, be
cause they can get better wages at home.
We literally have no market not a sin
gle store where you can go and buy a
bushel of sweet potatoes or a dozen of
oranges or a fowl or a turkey. Yoa
have to beg people to sell you things.
They don't want money. They get pre
served food, which they really do not
need, and rice from the traders in re
turn for their dried eocoanut. We
found that they were anxious to get a
supply of ship's tobacco when last year's
supply of tobacco gave out, so several of
the officers laid in a supply of ship's to
bacco and exchanged it for chickens,
eggs, etc. It was the only way to in
duce the people to bring them.
Bryan and Towns
Bryan and Towne make a ticket after
our own heart. No fitter running mate
than Towne couid be found for Bryan.
He is as young as Bryan, but like Bryan,
does not lack the knowledge and exper
ience which are usually the fruit of
riper years. Like Bryan, Towne has
led a clean, pure life; like Bryan, he is
possessed of the courage of his convic
tions; like Bryan, he belongs to the
mighty west; like Bryan, he has a heart
which beats in sympathy with the
higher aspirations of mankind. The
delegates to the Sioux Falls convention
are to be congratulated upon the wis
dom of their choice.
The all-important question is now:
What will the democrats do? If the
convention at Kansas City allows, wis
dom to preside over its counsels, it will
meet the' people's party half way, for
Towne is not identified with the people's
party, nor has he ever been and it will
make the Lincoln republicans, who are
also to assemble in national convention
in Kansas City, enthusiastic in their es
pousal of the ticket. It will also, almost
certainly throw Minnesota into the re
form column, for state pride in Charlie
Towne wi'l rally the forces in his state
around him. Let us hope that the tri
une forces will unite upon the ticket,
Bryan and Towne. Simpson's Bayonet.
Wealth Controls Republican Party
"Aggregated wealth today controls the
action of the republican party. In an
hour of peril the republican party can
draft a man, but it cannot draft a
Socket book, for the republican party
as put the-dollar above the man." W.
J. Bryan.
Assessing the Railroads
The state board of equalization, con
sisting of Governor" Poynter, Auditor
Cornell, and Treasurer Meserve, have
fixed the valuation on railroad prop
erty in Nebraska for the purpose of
the 1900 assessment. ,
The valuation of the various roads
was left at precisely the same figure
as that fixed in 1899. The only change
made by the board, aside from re-establishing
last year's figures, was to
add to the assessment roll the 90.56
miles of Nebraska, Wyoming & -Western
railroad, a branch of the Burling
ton system, built during the past year
through Box Butte, Cheyenne, and
Scott's Bluffs counties.
The total valuation amounts to $26,
287,570.10 and the total mileage is
?3,632.93.

six to seven dollars. We can make
the liberal offer we do only because
(in connection with another pub
lisher) we have bought : them in
lots of iooo watches at a time.
We could get a cheaper watch than
the one we offer, but we prefer to
give A GOOD OXE OR XONE.
To make a long story short, it is a
splendid watch, neat in appearance;

Bran and Monnett
A newspaper man who accompanied
Bryan in his recent trip through Mich
igan and Ohio gives the following ac
count of the meeting between Bryan
and Monnett, the republican Attorney
General who got after the Standard
Oil trust and was downed by Mark
Hanna.
"Hardly had Mr. Brayan seated him
self in the car which carried him from
Columbus tc Detroit today when he
was greeted by a slender man whose
earnest face and candid eyes marked
him in the throng that pressed around
the democratic leader. He was Frank
Monnett, the Attorney-General of Ohio,
who was politically degraded by Mark
Hanna for enforcing the anu-tnist law
against the Standard Oil Company .
"Mr. Bryan congratulated Mr. Mon
nett heartily on the courage vand intel
ligence e had shown in attempting to
honestly enforce the law. It was an
extraordinary scene, pregnant with
meaning. .
"Here was a faithful public officer,
who refused a bribe of $400,000 and
dragged the most dreaded law-break
er in the world to the bar of justice,
spurned and punished by the leader
of the republican party, thanked and
honored by the leader or the- demo
cratic party.
"The meeting was almost accidental.
but it was none the less, dramatic and
significant . The two men looked ear
nestly into each other's faces and
shook hands. Could there be anything
more suggestive than that spectacle?.
"Mr. Monnett, the unbnoable. unter-
rified Attorney-General, who dared to
do his duty anu succeeded in bringing
the monstrous Standard Oh Company
to its knees, was condemned by Mr.
Hanna and thanked by Mr. Bryan."
Destroying Competition
The sugar trust has decided to de
stroy every trace of competition in
the sugar refining business. This is
clearly shown by the suit filed by
Robert J. Trimble a stockholder of tne
trust in which he charges that the
company has more than $1,000,000 of
surplus and that this surplus is now
being used ; to depress the price or
sugar and to force Arbuckle Bros., in
dependent refiners, into a combination
with the American Sugar Refining
company, to illegally restrain trade.
The bill prays for an1 injunction and
asks uiat the American Sugar Refining
company be compelled to exhibit its
books and show what surplus it has
and what is being done with it. A
subpoena will be issued and the Amer
ican Sugar Refining company has
thirty days in which to file its an
swer.
Small Shippers Must Pay
All the trans-Mississippi railroads
have again solemnly agreed to keep a
solemn agreement.- It Is that of firm
ly but politely declining to any and all
s-ockshlppers a return pass home for
less than two cars of stock shipped.
It is an old-time agreement that the
man who has reason to expect return
transportation "must have at least two
rarinarla cf sheen, cattle, or hofes. But
in the rush of .competition, several of
the ambitious roads had oeen giving
tViA rptnrn transnortation to the ship
per of one carload of stock .provided
that he promised to say noining aooui
it. In the future the small shipper
mill h rnmnelled to Day. It Is an
other illustration of the modern appli
cation of the old adage that "to him
that hath shaJ be given, ana rrom mm
that hath not shall be tasen even max
which he hath."
Ice Trust In Omaha

little experience with a trust close at

hate combined under the atle of the

Th nsnai svmDtom of the trust has
been manifested in the big advance in
prices, and with an lnamerence aue
tr a knowledee that it has the commu
nity oy the throat, the protesting citi
zens are very plainly told that "if they
don't like it, they can let it aione.
A week ago we realized that we were greatly overstocked on
Ladies' Ready-To -Wear Suits, and as jt is ; our,, rule not to

Nebraska Insurance Report
The annual report of the insurance
commissioner is now ready for distribu
tion and for all the heavy losses by fire
the report shows a large gain for the Old
Line Companies. After deducting the
amount paid for losses it leaves a net
gain of premiums over all losses amount
ing to $741,681.00 and still to hear the
Old Line agent talk his company is pay
ing out more money than received. But
the above figures show just who is money
out. Certainly the ones who are paying
these enormous premiums to swell the
income of the Old Line companies are
not benefiting themselves any by the
enormous profits these companies are
making on their money. There is, how
ever, one gratifying thing in the report.
That is mutual companies operated at
home keeping every dollar at home have
made another great gain in the amount
of insurance in force as compared with
the report of 1898. All mutuals showed
amount of insurance in force January
1st 1S99 amounting to $65,000,000, while
on Januarv 1st 1900 they show a trifle
over $30,000,000 in force. This is cer
tainly a good showing. The cry that
comes forth from Old Lines that Mu
tuals cannot pay heavy losses has also
proven itself. The largest amount of
loss paid by any one company in the
state was paid by a Mutual only organ
ized January 14th 1899, only one year
old. The largest amount paid by any
Old Line company was 56,909, out of
an income of f 124,918.00,' while the
United Mutual Hail Insurance associa
tion organized January 4, 1899 paid
losses amounting to $62,974.00 and on
April 18th paid an additional sumo!6,
767 making a total of 69,741 out of an in
come of 595,376 which shows that a Mu
tual with an income of 529,542 less than
the Largest Old Line, has paid 512,832
more losses than the Old Lines. The
above figures are absolute proof that a
well managed Mutual can pay and does
pay a larger percentage of money col
lected from its members than any Old
Line company.

. She Was Too Fat
Ada St. Clair, the actress played lead
ing lady parts from 1890 to 1896, when
she became so stout that she had to leave
the stage.- ' j.;
She tried many medical remedieg and
nostrums without avail. The more anti
fat remedies she swallowed the fatter
she became,: and in July; 1896 she
weighed 205 pounds. ; .
One day she found a perfect cure, and
in two months thereafter she appeared
in a high-class young girl part, weighing
just 128 pounds, and the reduction in
flesh was without the least injury to her
health or purse. " - - ."
. What she did, how she . did it, and
what she used, and how the , same treat
ment has cured many men and women
since, Mrs. Lafarge will tell you, confi
dentially, in a letter, for the small fee of
one dollar. There is no other charge
hereafter. You can buy what she. pre
scribes from your own druggist. The
cure depends more on what you dg and
how you do it. . No violent exercise.no
starvation diet, or anything of that sort.
You can follow instructions unknown to
your friends, and during a month you
will get rid of from one to two pounds of
useless fat every day. If you think uch
a result worth One Dollar, to.you, send
that amount (in a $1 bill or stamps.)
