Official Paper Sherman County -- T 1 -- Why does Spain spell her name Sain now? Because Dewey knocked the “p” out of her. Our signal station had its flags at half mast the other day. Suppose this was a mark of remembrance for deadbeets. Governo Holcomb, showed good judgment in waiting until all the troops called tor were gone before he made a Colonel out of our Billy Bryan. So Billey Bryan has been made a Colonel of volunteers. Well that may be all right for politics but for war better get some one that thinks a cannon ball is as big as a Mexican Dollar. Nebraska furnishes as many pat riots to the square inch as any state but there is still a pop(y) contingent left that snaps at the heels of the administration like a penny dog af ter a bear. The ways and means aommittee. of the house of representative re ports that it costs #25,000,000 for the first months prepcrations for the land forces tor the war with Spain, and that it will probably overreach that amount hereafter. The army will be brought up to the full quoto on a war footing which is 60,000 regulars and with the present arrange ments 125,000 volunteers which will cost S t0,000 per day to feed them besides the arming clothing equip ping and maintaining them in first class shape. $500,000,000 will be the least figure that can be depended upon for one years \varfor both bran ches of the army. Nebraska, on the average presents more advantages for the agricultur ist than any other state in the union. It is true we have our drawbacks as have all others, but for diversified crops in great profusion we rank with the best of them. One man can till more soil and handle easily more acres in Nebraska, than in any other state in the Union, and can keep it clean. We have farmers in Sherman county, who singlehanded cultivate 100 acres and who last year cleared #1,500 on a quarter section of land. The prospects this year are so far more flattering than last, small grain is perfection all around and corn ie promising the same and with a con tinuation of present favorable weather and prices Nebraska will be the pearl of the west. Our climate seems tc be again assuming its old conditions and even better than before our long drouth period set in. The copious showers that have fallen this spring has pushed vegetation to a poim never reached at this early date, am it looks more like a tropical growtl than that of a temperate clime. The Philippines, comes in for t large share of the war interest nor being shown by tbe people of tin United States. The great queatioi being, since we virtually have then what disposition to make of them It is a question that is full of goo* argument from any standpoint.

It is the pur pose, without a doubt, of Hu rope to drive American commercial <>pp lion from the far east, then home interests demand it, or at least that is the way they seem to loo* at it. Our interests demand the fii-edom <■* the world for barter and trade, end our hearts demand it for the person.

In lso.'J Lieutenant Pawie, a young brave and gifted sailor of t Jit- <’ a federate navy, had con-dr .-•*■• 1 a submarine torpedo boat. On October 12, of that v .r, .11 Mobile bay, the vessels as teal 01 an errand of distruction a: urist the Yankee llect.

The inventor had been r> trained from taking part in the trial, lie had faith in his invention, and on January 11, l8ol insisted in direct ing the vessel on a similar iuU-,ion in che harbor of Charleston. Again there was a failure, but Lieutenant Payne and two sailors narrowly escaped the death which overlook their companions by breaking though the top of a glass compartment. Subsequent improvements caused tlie vessel to be capable of diving and rising at the will of the oper ator, and repeated trials in tie one | river caused the entliusiaui of the confederates to know no bon: u went for a mile under v.ate.", is charged blank torpedoes and r. turn ed, breathing easily. On January 29 ol the same year, however, .-un stuck her nose in the sand, and this time Lieutenant Payne stayi 1 to sleep the long sleep with the men who went down with him. Again the boat was raised. Other brave men manned her, and on l ehr. 17, 1884 in Cbarlston harbor, ..he was sent to attack the Federal w; is’.ip liousatonic.

GOLFING PHILOLOGY. Derivation of Curtoai Ttrrnu V. >ik*h lie long to tb« Canir. To the enthusiastic g dfer the game is never out of season. Fitted with “arc tic” goloshes and a war. i uitvid waistcoat, be is seen upon the links oil many a day which appears inclement to tho uninitiated. Perhaps this disregard of snow and ico is natural wl. ti one comes to look up the derivation of golf ing terms. Many <the words c ..ue di rectly from the 1< laadio lat.-ua.-es, others have tym cyans in <it lie or Swedish. Tho tee, or little nodule of gravel or earth from which tao golfer..'.;.. ill his ball, at the Loginning of c; h link, is derived from “tia," an Icelandic v..rb signifying “to point out.” Again, “golf” itself evidently cornea from the Scandinavian “kolf,” u club, the Gaelic form being “colb”-and tbo Icelandic form being “kolfr” (a olajipi r of a bell or bulb). Tbo “links” come straight from tho Swedish “lynku,” meaning a “twist” cr “crook;” hence its application to tbo windings of the coast, the ; indy, barren ground called “links” in Scotland. To “put” (pronounced “putt”)comes from the Gaelic “put,” signifying to push cr throw, as when ti • us.-ful “put ter” propels tho golf pall from tho "tmttii g croon” into the bode. j The “loiter” is derived from the Ico ; lnndir “Jolt”—that i.-. v ,r air—a ! Danish form being “loft” for e< Hing or 'j loft.—I’hila h itibia Iin-jul :•••?.
