MAIL ORDERS GIVEN hold the responsible position of dis trict judge, it telegraphed to Treasurer Mann of the populist state ,,-central committee as follows: "Uncoln. Neb. Theo. Mahn, Alma, Neb.; Wire amount Judge Stubbs con trituted to campaign fund last year. "NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT." Mr. Mahn replied: Alma. Neb., May 22. Nebraska In dependent My books don't show that Judge Stubbs contributed anything THEODORE MAHN." In Is idle to contend that a judge's expenses are so much greater than the ordinary individual's that out of $2,500 per year he cannot afford to give any thing toward maintaining the expenses of the political parties that placed him In power. The Independent has but the one objection to the nomination of Judge Stubbs; and, unfortunately, he Is not the only pebble on the beach of parsimony and Ingratitude. There are others: and as their names, are men tioned. The Independent intends to give the people enlightenment. BEPIBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE The republican legislature and the redeemers at the state house have gone Into as petty a little steal as ever dis graced the state in the days of the old regime. They are expending $5,000 to dig a well and gave the contract to Joe Burns. There is no more necessity for a well on the state house grounds than there is for brains in a republi can editor's head. Water is furnished by the cily plant for 15 cents a tho.u fand gallons and it cannot be pumped by a small plant for that price and ev erybody knows that it can't. The state j house will not use to exceed 2,000 gal- tnnc ra TaV tVia i o v ennnH Thor rroo 30 cents a day. To put in and run a g?.soline engine to pump the water will cost three or four times as rauch. The gasoline to run the engine will cost more than the city would furnish the water for. But Joe Burns must have a rake-off of some kind for helping in carrying the state and so a useless well is to be bored and a constant cost to the taxpayer for years to come in dulged in. That is the kind of work the redeemers are engaged in all around. That is the sort of redemp tion that the republican farmers so much admire. THAT SHIP SUBSIDY Minister Conger at the dinner given ia New York took occasion to give Mark Hanna's ship subsidy a boost. The same paper that brought the re port of his speech contained accounts of the formation of a ship-building trust.

Moore & Sons com pany of Elizabeth, N. J., and the Canda Manufacturing company of Carteret, N. J. According to the prospectus which has been issued this new trust will have a capacity for building 380,000 tons a year and is to be capitalized for $65,000,000. All the yards which have gone into the trust, it is stated on good authority, could be duplicated for less than $10,000,000. If this new trust can make dividends on stock that has been watered 600 per cent, the sane man will inquire what necessity Is there to further subsidize it by taxa tion. Everything points to the probability that at the next session of congress Mark Hanna will put through his sub sidy steal. There never was such a barefaced thing attempted in the coun try before. Ships are now nuilt of iron and steel and the steel trust is send ing its products to the old world and selling them at a lower price than they can be made there. To ask for a tariff and then a subsidy for the benefit of these men is the most barefaced fraud that the world ever beheld. That does not trouble Hanna any. The bigger the fraud the more certain he feels of accomplishing it. When one reflects upon the horrors that exist in connection with our civili zation. It makes any decent man feel like wanting to emigrate to some other planet where the trusts do not run the government and where they do not set up a simpering hypocrite to rule over the people. The maternity hospitals and the baby farms, the all-night, all day and ail-Sunday saloons, backed up by Denison s policy shops that ex ist in Omaha by the grace of the re publican party, would make a man de spair of the state if it were not for the sane, sensible and moral population that inhabit the country and live upon farms. Why any farmer can bring himself into political association with this republican gang of thieves and gamblers is past comprehension. It is authoritatively stated that only five per cent of the carrying power of the Western Union wires and labor force employed by the trust is utilized. Ninety-five per cent is always idle. Yet that mullet-headed concern keeps up its enormous charges when a reduc tion of one-half in price would double its income by increasing the amount of business. A trust is a hog and in many instances has no more sense, than a hog. The Western Union has bought ON REQUEST I t 1 Co. RefaiI No. 948.

ACRES OF FLOOR SPACE up and suppressed all the" patent im provements in telegraphy for many years. When this epidemic of partisan insanity passes away, these things will be looked at from a different stand point. The sane men and - women of this nation will find some .way, without in terfering with religious beliefs or the freedom of the. individual, to prevent such fanaticism as resulted in the death of a woman in Chicago from bleeding, when any reputable physi cian would have stopped the hemorrh age within a few moments. The fan atics relied solely upon prayer and the woman died. . Bixby seems to be just as crazy as Rosewater. Listen to him: "A few years ago it was predicted with the most solemn assurance that the gold standard would plunge the country into irretrievable disaster and under that same .standard the country has been, flourishing more abundantly than ever before." With over a thousand millions of paper and silver in circulation and Wore silver being coined and more na- per being issued, to talk about the gold standard is proof positive that Bix is afflicted with delusions. The Chicago weekly report issued by the board of health is so different from the common run of such docu ments that it deserves a notice. It can rightly be classed with the best litera ture of the day. It is interesting to all classes of persons. If doctors every where would drop their technical ex pressions and use plain common sense English it would be a blessing both to the profession and the people at large. The death rate last year in Chicago was 14.68 per thousand, while in Bos ton it was 20.82. A republican writes a letter to the editor of The Independent which he winds up by saying: "The course you are pursuing will bring you neither fame nor wealth." Does he suppose that any sane man ever become a re form editor because he wanted fame and wealth. Not much. Wre do it for the satisfaction there is in hammering the gold standard lunatics and poking fun at the mullet heads. There is more satisfaction in that than being worth a million dollars or in having a big funeral and a tomb stone a hundred feet high. The question of right and wrong, principles, honorable sentiments, ev erything of that sort, have been elimi nated from the policies of this govern ment of McKinley and the most re volting doctrines have,-taken their place. Trade, conquest glory, mili tary, pageants, corruption, deceit, hypocrisy have taken the place of the noble sentiments of the men who founded, built up and defended this government. On with the dance. Sam Jones says hell isn't half a mile away and the sooner we get there the sooner the inevitable end will come. The American Economist has come to the conclusion that reciprocity trea ties are unconstitutional. It has be come so excited over the general de mand that American consumers shall not be compelled to pay twice as much for American goods as foreigners have to pay, that the next thing it will do will be to declare that any discussion of the Dingley tariff is unconstitu tional. It should remain calm. Let it remember that the great American mullet head delights to pay three or four dollars more for a plow than the same plow is sold for after it has been transported all the way to Russia. A few of the New York ministers got up enough courage last Sunday to call the speculations on Wall street "gam bling." That is a great step forward When the populists called it gambling and wanted a law passed preventing the selling of stocks that were not in the hands of the seller and which the buyer never expected or w:anted to get, these same ministers, or at least one of them, denounced populism as an archy and socialism, showing that he was as ignorant of anarchy and so cialism as he was of populism. The Independent congratulates the New York ministers on their attainments of courage and their advance in ethics. GONE COMPLETELY DAFT Governor Savage will soon have to prepare a room out at the asylum for the occupancy of the editor of the Bee. He grows wilder every day. In the Bee of last Saturday he talked af ter the following fashion: "There never was a time in the his tory of the United States when the uners or tne son nave been more prosperous than they are today. The enormous surplus of grain has been marketed at higher prices than had been realized for many years and the raising of cattle, sheep and hogs has been more profitable within the past three years than for many previous de cades." 1 j '11. j . . . Ana men ne says me cause or it is "the stability of our money standard!" TninK of that!

ELMER FLEMING, of Minneapolis, Minn., writes from 2535 Polk street,N.E.: I have been troubled all my life with catarrh. I took Peruna for about three months, and now think I am perma nently cured. I believe that for catarrh in all its forms Peruna is the medicine of the age. It cures when all other remedies fail." Mrs. C. Nickel, Hebron, Neb., writes : I suffered from weakness for ten years. The least exertion caused me pain in the middle of my chest and difficulty in breathing. When I would awake in the night my heart would palpitate so that I often could not sleep. I took Peruna and now I can do all of my work easily without getting short of breath. "Peruna is the best medicine tor me. It strengthens my nerves, it Is just what I need. As long as I use Peruna I do not know anything about weakness. 'l have never found a medicine that makes me feel so strong and vigorous as Peruna. I shall always keep Peruna that would buy four bushels of corn two years ago would buy less than two bushels a few days ago in the Chicago market, and that sort of changing Rosewater calls "stability." WTien a money standard that bobs up and around like that is called "sta ble," the man who entertains such de lusions needs the attention of the in sanity experts and needs them right away before he does some injury to himself. A NEW JOKE One definition of a joke is to make merry with words. The bibliograph ers all declare that there is .no such thing as a new joke. They can trace the mother-in-law and all other jokes back for more than two thousand years. Some or tne men say tnat lr Adam was created only six thousand years ago, then all the jokes that ap pear in the comic papers were current before Adam came upon the stage of action. Now The Independent be lieves that it has discovered a new joke. It was reported in a private let ter. A little Indian girl was asked what she thought of a certain white man. After taking a good look at him she replied: "I think that he would be prettier without his face." If any of the comic writers can improve on that sort of a left-handed compliment, they can find a market for it at the business office of any New York comic weekly. Hardy's Column The Top Political Question of the Day Personal Experience. The tonmost nolitical question of the dav is. whether the Declaration of In dependence and the constitution are to be respected or not. One side say tney were made in weakness and should have no consideration in strength. A promise made when you cannot do better is of no binding force when you can do better. The American peo ple had no royal blood in their veins when they made the declaration tnat "all men are created equal and en titled to the same nrivileges and pro tection of law," but now wealth has given them royal blood and things are different. There are three things that make red blood royal wealth, wit and parentage. The time has passed for the establishment of any more re publics, and anybody who talks for them and who favors the rule of all the people by all the people, as Bryan does, must be kicked out of the ranks of the higher civilization. He should be branded on his forehead "Little American." John Jacob Astor was about the only millionaire we heard of our boyhood days. We used to read of his buying fur of the Indians and of the pioneer trappers on the lakes and western rivers. His trade extended as far north as Lake Winnipeg and Hudson bay. From our early boyhood we en joyed hunting, fishing and trapping. The stories circulated about Astor in no way cooled off our love. Mink, muskrat, coon and fox were the only fur animals to be trapped anywhere near our native town. Our traps, guns and ammunition were all paid for with fur money. - t For several years we bought a few hundred dollars' worth of the trappers near and always managed to make a little money. In February, 1862, ..we started north from Grand Haven, NEAPOLIS, Mig j I r H6B BON. NCQ- F in the bouse. It ought to have a plaice in every home. . "The longer I use it the better I like it.

Dis eases of the ner vous system calls for more blood and better blood. Pe runa answers this call by giving the HOW PERUNA MAKES STRONG NERVES. system a perfect supply of pure red blood. Thus it is that Peruna is a natural tonic,' It does not temporarily stimulate the nervous system, but permanently invigorates it. Peruna regulates the supply of blood to the various parts of the system. When one part has more blood than it ought to have another part is deprived Mich., buying fur. Shipping fur would bring gold and gold was up and going up. No one declined to take green backs. Nothing unusual occurred un til we arrived at Manistee. We heard that there was a tribe of Indians at the head of the lake and that they had a lot of fur. At the same hotel, the same night, a fur -buyer from Detroit put up. He knew my business; so did I his. We were both suspicious of the other that he was going up the lake in the morning. I learned the ice was smooth all the way up, so instead of hiring a horse and racing with the man on land, I hired a pair of skates and took to the ice. I started before it was light and had the fur all bought and was tying it onto an Indian hand- sled for return when the other man drove up. He soon discovered the skates and said not a word, only to invite me to ride back with him. The distance must have been eight or ten miles. The next morning I started on north. The heavy fur, and skins, such as coon, beaver, muskrat and deer, I packed up and left at the ports to be brought out by lake in the spring. When I arrived at Grand Travers 1 had over eighteen hundred dollars w orth of fine fur on my back. I rested here a day and bought several lots. The morning I was fixing to start again, an Indian came up to the post office with a dog tackeled to a trano with three or four mail bags on. The thought struck me at once to buy the dog an4 trano. " The Indian held up all the fingers and thumb of one hand, which meant five dollars. I held up two fingers; then he held up four; next I held up three and he took me. That dog could travel as far in a day as I could and 'haul seventy-five or a hundred pounds. The trano consisted of a piece of birch bark a little over a foot wide, four feet long, turned up in front so the dog could hold it back going down hill with his body. I then had two .friends the rest of the trip, my dog and. my revolver. I did not use the latter, only to shoot at a wolf and a deer or two in the distance. When I got through to Saginaw I de cided I had travelled enough. I sold my dog and trano for five dollars and took the cars.' I learned many things on that trip. I was invited several times to a feast of muskrat with the Indians. I did taste once, and it would not have been so bad if they had left the musk out ,but that taste lingered for nearly a week. They had shrewd ways of killing muskrats. When the ice was clear they would creep up to their houses, rap on them and as the rats start out they would follow them Rats have to stop, let out their breath, then after a short time take it in again and go on. When they stop the Ind ian would pound on the ice over them. scare them away from their bubble of air, and they would soon curl up and die. When they were dead they cut a hole in the ice and take them out. For trapping, fishing and - hunting the white man is far ahead of Indians. The Indians had a. way of spearing muskrats in their houses after they have thawed out. They use spears with three tines nearly three feet long. They creep up to the houses on the thawing ice and drive the spear into the house. They sometimes get otters instead of rats. The otter enjoys feast ing on rats as much as the Indian does. We measured off one stretch through the woods one day of over forty miles with not a house on ... the way and when we saw the first light it did not make us feel bad. Our supper that night was bread, crust coffee and blackberry jam. Then we slept on a floor instead of on the snow. We travelled by hacked trees, two hacks on this side of a tree meant this way to such a place and three hacks on the other side meant this way to another place. - Educate Your Bowels With Cascarets.
