THE SI0L1 COUNTY JOURN AL IABRISON. NEBRASKA The Philadelphia Press wants to know if there are "no conservative Cu bans." Beyond question there re a few; but they are all dead. The cable says that Prince Ranjit slnighl, the cricket player, has landed In Australia. He evidently has landed very heavily on the English alphabet An Iowa man has Invaded Chicago with a new "voting machine." We j fear It will not meet the exigencies of j the situation completely unless it in cludes an arsenal. Weyler's idea seems to be that the dead woman or child counts as much In the death list as a dead soldier. To a soldier who relies on his pen for victories only the figures are important. A St. Louis woman caught a burglar in her room. locked the door, talked re formation to him for two hours, and then turned him over to a isjliceman. Do they propose to punish him further? Another epidemic of crime is about due in Chicago and nightly bold-tips are worrying the police and the peo ple. The test cure for this is perfora tion, applied where it will furnish in stant relief. In Windsor, Canada, the other day, s magistrate lined a prisoner ?4.13 for kissing a pretty French girl. The odd ity of that fine indicates an expert knowledge on the part of the court as to the exact value of the stolen goods. The London Lyceum Theater was closed the other night because Kir Hen ry Irving had sprained his leg; but Americans who are familiar with Sir Henry's famous walk will be surprised to learn that the sprain is of recent occurrence. Boss Croker never drew a larger sal ary than the average, clerk receives, and yet he Is so rich that he regards losses of $500,000 on the turf as incon sequential trifles. All of which goes to show that the New York reform gun is shotted for rabbits. The Detroit Tribune is receiving de signs for a figure which shall le used to impersonate Michigan's metropolis. "The design which seems to have met with the most general approval is that of a handsome young Indian brave, who, we are told, typifies the red man "before he became debased by coming Into contact with the white man." Thin is a doubtful compliment to civilization, but the pity is that there is truth in it. Clarence F. Foster, who was charged with bigamy in a New York court, frit pretty confident, as he expected only one wife would appear. But while the Jury was being Impaneled, he happen ed to glance behind him and saw a bench filled with young women whom he had married. There were five of them in a row, each armed with her marriage certificate. Foster wilted at once. "You needn't go on. Judge," he said: "I'll plead guilty." The Long Island railroad company has purchased a snow plow which Is described as being as big as a four story house. The recent blockade on the company's lines made It necessary to reinforce Its appliances for clearing the tracks. There is a cupola on top of the plow where the conductor sits, while inside there Is a room big enough to accommodate a number of laborers. The plow weighs 47.2w pounds, and its builders say that it will go through any snow-drift that ever buried a rail road track. Italy, though groaning under foreign and domestic debt, has begun a system of subsidies which must largely in crease the burden of the people. It will take the form of maritime bonuses to encourage ship-building. Every Italian who build a wooden vessel Is to receive $3.50 a too, and $15.40 a ton will be paid to the builder of Iron or steel ships, of which three-quarters of the material Is Italian make. Ex tra bounties will be given for the boiler work, and engines if made in Italy. In addition 16 cents a ton gross will be paid for every 1.0)0 miles navi gated for the first three years. The "proof coins" of the mint are thus described in the Philadelphia Rec ord: "They are made In gold, silver, nickel, and bronze, and a complete set of these "proof coins' costs ?41. There re three sets of coins that can be bought at the mint for this purpose. They are the gold, the silver, and the minor ones. , Each coin is struck by hand on a screw press from a specially polished die, and only polished blanks re used. There is not a flaw In them, Every portion or me ate is brought out, and when such a collection Is nice ly arranged 1n a frame no prettier sight can be Imagined.' The gold coins can be bought for $38.50. They In clude the $20. f 10, $5, and $2.50 pieces. The silver coins, $1, 50 cents, 25 cents, and 10 cents, are sold wltb tbe nickel 8 cents and die bronae cent for 12.90, bat If yon only want the nickel and cent you can get them for 8 cents." There arc many parents who seen to appose that their chief work In tbe tralnlnir of child it to be Incessantly eeosBMliKnnjf or prohibiting; telling the ttild to do this or to do that, and not V . this, that, or the other. Bat this ?rrlB a child Is sot training. child. , ,ri4 eoatno, ft Is destructive of all j fhe nrt U Ws who to d- diiled to it. it is not the driver who is traiuing a horse, but one who neither is trained nor can train, who is all the ! time "yanking" at the reins or "thrap piujf tbenj up and down. Neither par ed cor driver, in such a cae, can do as murh lu the direction of training, by doing incessantly, as by letting alone judiciously. France's Foreign Legion Is the last refuge for adventurers of all nations. In one company there were serving re- j cently a Ftouuiatiiau prince, who was suspected of having murdered his brother; a German count, who had been a lieutenant of the Guards and on the i emperor's staff; an Italian lieutenant , colonel of cavalry, dismissed for cheat-1 iug at cards; a Russian nihilist escaped j from Siberia; a former captain In the j English Kitle Brigade; and an ex-canon from ,,ie Wo-,,,,,,', Christian Temper of Notre Dame, suspended for immor-, ance union of Aulort Hamilton county, ality. The Legion is always used ! one afking for an amendment to the dangerous service In which the govern-; nt fllffrage aw giving women the ment does not wish to employ regular ; miinl elections, and troops, as the men have no care for i their lives. i The Boston Glolie says: "It will sur prise a good many people to know that a sugar belt runs through the heart of New York State and it will surprise them still further to know that the op portunities which it offers have until now been almost wholly neglected. The , jzation : also setaie file No. 225, to regu cultivation of beet sugar near Rome, ! j,u Miaries of county judges, county N. ., is about to be undertaken on a ; targe scale, it may oe rainy assumeu ; that the example set by the company, t . , , , , , ., , ' , wh ch is planning the establishment of i , . , --, '. tn n rt Lt mitmp fiwfnt-v In the r.ni- pire State will find many eager emula tors. There's money In lieet sugar le yond a doubt, wherever conditions are propitious for the crop, and scientific methods are employed In Its cultiva tion." . a - Is' it true that when a person Is think ing the words that pass through bis mind are made up by letters? Prof. McGee, who read a paper before the Advancement of Science people last week, declared that such is the case. The statement Is one calculated to ex cite a good deal of doubt. If not of in credulity, for not a little thinking has been done In the jwist by folks who couldn't have thought by means of words so constructed, for the simple and sufficient reason that they were not acqualuted with any alphabet. It is lmioKible, or at least extremely diffi cult, to Itelleve that, aa regards method, the mental processes of a wholly un educated person are different from those of his more fortunate brother. Amateur psychologist are more likely to doubt that word are used at all In thought than to admit that letters form a part of them. Amateurs are usually wrong, however, so perhaps I'rof. Me-j Gee's theory Is quite right. The first white child born tu the vas: Northwestern Territory, now compris ed in the States of Minnesota. Wiscon sin, Michigan.

In the classification of the Intern- perate a certain proportion are recog nized as insane drinkers, for whom ape. clal statutory restraints are provided, and these are again divided into ub claAses: flint, those who Inherit the pro pensity; second, those who evince It as the chief manifestation of some form of cerebral disease; third, those who are afflicted with It aa a result of Injury to the head, severe fever or other wasting bodily ailment, mental shock, heavy grief, reverse of fortune, and indeed, causes similar to those antedating some other Insanities; and, fourth, those who acquire It through a vicious course of Indulgence in stimulants. Cases of this j vlnd rmll,re medical rather than nun! tive treatment, and In the opinion of the British Medleul Association should be discriminated from those of tb crim inal drunkards who require the appli cation of ordinary penal and reforma tory agenees. The doctors oneht to know more about this subject tha.ii any body else, and it is discouraging that In the main they are obliged to admit the Inadequacy of all expedients to the correction and remedy of the evil.

WORLD INVITED TO THE EXPOSITION uttn Inquire Coueerniag Em ploy of State Instit tiou. Public I'linting Mill llln'l I p -M.k'DS Mora Once to b Killed The senate put in a hard working day Wednesday, the leading features being the reception ol the governor's message and the unusuaily lsre number of bills passed. Mr j0hnSon presented two petitions the other asking that the law of dece- dents be amended so as to give the widow or widower her or bis share in absolute t lie. From the committee on revenue Mr. Beal r ported favorably on senate file No. 200, a bill to amend the revenue laws relating to county boards of equal cerkgi county treasurers and clerks ol lhfj dietrict and tl)eir deputies. . , .

From the committee on libraiy, Mr. Canaday teported favorably on senate file 231, providing that reports of the Nebraska supreme court shall be sold for $1.25 per volume. The consideration of senate file No. 132, introduced by Mr. Grothan by re quest, and providing for the appoint ment of a state printer and stationer, having been made a special order for 11 o'clock, and that hour having arrived, the senate went into committee of the whole, with Mr. Watson of Saline in the chair. The consideration of the bill was interrupted by the appearance of the i governor's private secretary with a spe cial message from the chief executive. After the message had been received, confederation ol the public printer bill was resumed. The bill provides that the governor shall appoint a state printer and sta tioner, who shall hold his office for the teim of two years. He is to have gen eral su)rvision over all state printing, binding and stationery and office sup plies used by state officers and in state inttitutions, is authorized to advertise for bids and to let contracts. Mr. Mutx offered an important amend ment, which wss agreed to, requiring the state printer to exercise the same j supervision over all the printing for j coun lies and county officers, and also j directing the attorney general to prepare ; a set of forms to that all legal blanks j used in the several counties shall be uni- j form. The coon hour having arrived, I the committee rose, reported progress ; and was given leave to s.t again. j After the noon recess the regular or ! der was ret-umed.

Joint resolution No. 7, introduced by Mr. Howell, and relating to tbe Trans Mississippi Exposition was passed. It is as foliows : Whereas, Tbe congress k:', the United Stales did, by an act approved by the president Jan 10, 1896, pled?e the gov ernment to participate in a Trans-Mis s'ssippl and International Exposition, to be held in Omaha, Neb,, let ween June I and november 1, lfW8, and did by said act grant to said exposition all the right and privileges heretofore granted to in ternational expositions; tlierefors.be it Resolved by the senile and house of renreerMtiv.of the eol Nebraska. Tt.it his exrelleney, tba. governor of the Jsjj .A TIC'S """ l -e. r. , U- i i r y authorized auu requesieu w uu ui ; by proclamation that Mid exposition is : to be held at the time and place a:ore said, and to extend to the people of the I ititM mil territories of the United fctatef, through the respective governors of such states and territories, a cordiil invitation on the part of the ttate of Nebraska to participate in aaid exposition; and be it further Resolved, That his excellency, the governor of the state ol Nebratka, be and he is hereby requested to isue and deliver to the secretary of state of th United States inv.tations to the foreign nations and goverments having repre sentatives accredited to them in Wash ington, inviting and requesting such foreign nations and governments to par ticipaie in in said Trans-miBi-issippi Ex poilion, with a request to the secretary of state that he deliver such invitations to such representatives ot foreign na tions and governments represented at Washington. The resolution was agreed to by a vote ol 26 to 6. INQUIRY CONCERNING EMPLOYES. Mr. Dundis of Nemaha offered the following: Whereas, It is currently reported that there are on the pay ro Is at the State house and in many of our state institu tions employe whose services could lie dispense! with w ithout violence to good government, or to the management of the state institutionc, which taid report has !een measureably confirmed by re cent report? of state auditors; therefore be it 1?na1.,a.l That Mia rammitteA on finance, ways and means be instructed: by the enale to ascertain and report ! the facts in the matter, at some time be-! fore the senate shall be called on to vote on meaiures appropriating money for salaries and employes' wages. Mr. Ransom objected to the present consideration and the resolution went over. Mr. Ransom offered the following resolution, which was agreed to: Resolved, By the senate, the house concurring. That the State Printing Board be and is hereby instructs not to contract for pay for printing iu the journals of the senate and house biog raphical tketchea of me nbers, or the constitution of the state; and also that said board be farther instructed not to contract for or pay for printing the con stitution in connection wiln the publi cation of the tesssion law s. Tba Horn. When the house convened Hull of Harlan moved that the trans- Miseii-sippi exposition bill, house roll No. 1)3, be advanced' to the head of the list of bills on general file. Mr. Hull made a few remarks on his motion, during which be said no mem ber ned commit himself for an appro priation by voting to advance the bill. Pollard of Cass favored the motion. Wooster of Merrick failed to under stand why the bill should be advanced ont of its regu ar position. He said the frienda of the measure were afraid to let the bill come up in its regular crder because of the recent disclosures in the treasury. He charged them with de siring to take snap judgment on the house before the condition of the treas ury was fully known. He said that up wards cf f. 500,000 of refunding bonds would come due and an appropriation , ., , , , , , k , j i,;aiPys tuetn salaries mat are commen- for them would have to be made at this J .... . , , surate with their services. Ihere are eeceion. tie inougui n wuuihdui for snvone to come and ask a cen-, for! any exposition in view of this condi tion. Pollard of Cass raised the point of or der that Mr. Wooster was not talking to the question. The point was sus tained. Winslow of Gosper moved to amend the motion by deferring action till the state institutions were provided for. He thought that in view of the fact that $500,GXM of deficiency claims were before the committee on claims, it would be injustice to make a large appropriation. Horner of Dawson thought it was a (air proposition to advance the bilL Clark of Richardson favored it. He conteded that tbe promoters of the ex position should no longer be left on the anxious teat and that the success ol the exposition depended largeiy upon early action by the bouse. Gaylord of Buffalo spoke against ad vancing the bill. He said that the par ties who had been circulating a petition at bis home at Kearney in tavor oi a large appropriation wee not taxpayers. Some of the business men who ba 1 signed the petition bad told him that they did not know what they had been signing. He favored mailing tbe sta e appropriations first. Fouke of Gage wanted to take up the bill at the earliest possible date. Jenkins of Jefferson opposed advance ing the bill in view of the recent disclos ures in ti e state treasury, fcTKBIUN IIKAKD VHOM. Stebbin of Lincoln said tbat from tbe speeches of the morning be believed the state was about bankrupt. That, he sa d, had lonir been hit private opinion, but he wanted to say that the populist party was not responsible for it. Ji favored considering the bill at once and thought it was a courtesy that should be extended to tbe friends of the measure Hull of Harlan raid that postponing the bill till tbe appropriation! were made would in effect be equal to killin. it. Eager ol Seward moved tbe previous question and ii was ordered. Tl e amendment was then lost by a voteo(3 yeas to 7 nays. More interesting events occurred in ti e house. - In addition to the govern or's message a Toporfuf a special com mittee appointed to investigate stall oflVts, arid particular y the treasury, was submitted. T e leriise was not in a uioixl to take uin m ion worn i.w repn ui i special investigating Committee had beeu re-.l. The governor's tnestagt. and the rei ort of tho inuiitte had been t made special order for the same time, and both were conpidere ! t"gether. The couitnnt-e recommended that another committee be appointed to investigate more fully, tut the majority element desired to hold a caucus on the matter and so the whole matter was referred to a committee temporality till a confer ence could be held. The republicans took a firm stand for immediate action. Clark of Lanc&tter moved tiiat the bouse appoint a com mittee of five with full authority to act, which should confer with a like com mittee frsm the senate to go to work at once. This was voted down aa the ma jority freely said, because they wanted t to caucus. The sentiment was strong for investigation on both tides but the populisls said they would get the blame, if there was any, and they did not de tire to go too fast. FARM FIT FOR A KINO. secretary Morton Adailrea Vander bilt's Estate at Blltmore. Win. E. Curtia writes as follow to the Chicago Record: Secretary Mor tua recently spent a week at Blltmore, N. C. Investigating the famous estate of George Vauderbllt, and he told his colleagues at the Cabinet meeting the othtfr day that there was nothing in the world owned by sovereign or subject that will compare with it either as a residence or an object lesson ia the . arts. It Is the grandest idea." said Mr. Morton, "that young Mr. Vanderbilt is trying to carry out. It la uuiiiue, and none but a man of enormous wealth could undertake It Few kings have either funds or the good of their people at heart sufficient to conceive and carry out what Mr. Vanderbilt has success fully demonstrated. I do not know bow much money be has spent there, nor how much more he lutenda to In vest, btt tt Is one of the grandest un dertakings that individual enterprise ever attempted, and I understand that It Is the owner's intention to leave It a legacy to the public when he can no longer enjoy It himself. 'There are 95,000 acres In the estatu, nd every lnc-h of It may be said to be under sclenrlfic cultivation, embrac ing every bru:; 'h of the vegetable king dom. Oomlrined with this he has the most perfect system of roadways Hiat I have ever eeen, and you can drive 100 mile over macadamized pavement without going off his estate. As an e.v hibrtlou of landscape gardening It Is without equal. Fred Law 0!ui6tad baa bad charge of that branch of the work, and the late Mr. Hunt was the architect of all the buildings, which for tbeir several uses surpass any that exist on earth. There ia no palace in Europe tmu can eiunl Mr. Vauderbllt'a villa f-T elegance, comfort and conve nience, and he la gathering there a col lection of works of art that would make It famous If It had no other attraction. His stables, b1a barns, his dairies, b'l propagating bouse, his henneries and other features of his establishment are 11 on the same grand scale. He ha undertaken to furnish the highest pos sible examine otf the science of food cul ture in every one erf its branches. Ha has employed the beet men he can fln 1 to take charge of his experiments and Germans and Frenchmen, Italians and Englishmen, as well as Americans, em ployed. The foreigners are usually men of high professional reputation who are attached to universities in tbe old world and spend their vacations Inrcc, four or six months on Mr. Vaa- derbllt's estate looking after their re spective departments. While the work has not yet been carried far enough to show results, the posw bi ties of im- I, , , ,, . fulness offered by Mr. Vanderbilt s en- terprlse are unlimited. I consider his work there Just , important to the agricultural interests of this country a Hie Department of Agrtou-lture at Washington. He em- ploys more men than I have under my charge, and I think be Is spending mors money every year than Congress appro- prlates for this department, although 1 do not know his figures. He has near ly a thousand names on his pay roll and we have about 700. His men are promoted for efficiency according to the tnowt practical civil service rules. If n man who Is employed at a dollar & day to shovel dirt shows that he is cap able of something better his work and bis wages are both advanced, and the same rule applies to everytody on the rtate. "If there were nothing else to be accomplished, Mr. Vanderbilt is at least building up an educatlonnal Institution that will furnish scientific farmers and teachers for the instruction of tbe rest of mankind, and 1 feel like thanking old Commodore Vanderbilt for bavlnj given us a grantson who luis the brain nd the' benevolence to devote his wealth to afford tbe puhMc such vain ble object lessons in art, archltucturc, ngricutture, forestry, vlticurrure, dairy, ing, roadmeklng snd other useful sci ences.
