Anger, wrote the great historian, Clarendon, Is the most Important pas sion that accompanies the mind of man; It effects nothing It goes about, and hurts the man who Is possessed by It more than the other against whom It is directed. Like flakes of snow that fall unper relved upon the earth, says Jeremy Taylor, the seemingly unimportant events of life succeeded one another. As the snow gathers together, so are our habits formed. No single flake that is added to the pile produces a sensible change; no single action cre atps, however it may exhibit, a man's character. Carbolic ar id, which Is so much used ns a dressing for wounds and skin troubles, Is a dangerous remedy. Many Instances are known In which morti fication, with consequent loss of fin gers and toes, has resulted from the application of cloths moistened in weak solutions of the drug, and physi cians are beginning to cry out against this practice. The towns of Wheeling and Gaston in Delaware county, Indiana, were rivals in the matter of securing a rail road and Gaston won. The other night a number of Gastonians started over to Wheeling with the intention of Jubilating over their success. Just outside Wheeling they were met by a brigade armed with eggs. The defend ers were as deadly of aim as the Boers and the Gaston folks took to flight, but not before nearly each of them had been profusely decorated.

GENEVA, Neb., Kept. 24. 1900.— There Is room for much improvement in the management of the State In dustrial School for Girls at Geneva. Particularly Is this true in regard to affording relief to taxpayers. So far as the accounts are concerned Steward Brennan has a mark to his credit for the accounts of this insti tution have been kept in better shape perhaps than those of any other. The management, however, deserves to be reckoned with. It is both weak and extravagant. Superintendent Weber draws a sal ary of 91.500, but that does not seem *o thoroughly appease his appetite. He has added his wife’s name to the pay roll us ’’housekeeper’’ at 930 per month. In addition to this he has two "family managers" on the pay roll, Annie Pat terson and FTedelka Willard, who draw a salary of 9*00 pe year earh. T. J. Wilson is on the pay roll as ‘‘farmer”*at 930 per month. W. E. Baher and W. II Kumser are ! on the pay roll as engineers at 9’>0 per i month each. Mbhael Martin Is on the pay roll ap "extra man" at 920 ppr month. There Is a matron at the institution and why a '‘housekeeper" Is needed ia a question that can only l.e explained by Superintendent. Weber. The only explanation thus far offend it th.1t It was occasioned by the desire of Su perintendent Weber to reap a more bountiful harvest. i he record a in the auditors onti-e i would Indicate that the “housekeep er's” duties arc to Rome extent tho^r , of a tourist. Voucher 1441583 is a 1 voucher drawn in favor of the wife of the superintendent "for going to 1 Omaha and bringing back Blanche Green." In this voucher u claim for hack hire was made and allowed, though, with the city of Omaha cov ered with a network of street car lines it is difficult to determine why a hack WH3 necessary, unless to use the com mon everyday street car would not comport with the dignity of the occa sion. Street cars are largely used by the common people. It is true, yet now and then you will see on them bankers, capitalists and business men. It Is perhaps asking too muon to require state employes, whose bills of this sort are paid by the taxpayers, to put up with such primitive accommodations. EXPENSIVE "RUNAWAYS.” There Is a painful lacking, in con nection with the management, in the way of discipline. The inmates are given too much freedom, and this re sults in escapes from the Institution, with consequent assaults on the treas ury to pay the expense of capturing and returning them. Last April the people hereabouts were treated to a real exhibition of "girl” hunt. They had seen "fox” hunts and "wolf hunts until these had ceased to be of interest, but it was a novel experience and attraction for them to see a "girl” hunt. Three of the inmates had escaped and Super intendent Weber threw out a line of scouts and scoured the whole country for miles around. Nine s'alwart men wore engaged to run down three puny specimens of the opposite sex. The "runaways” were finally captured and returned and the state wns presented with a bill of expense amounting to $28 for "helping return three runaway girls." This is the language of the vouchor. Neither in the lulls rendered nor in the voucher are the names of the captives given (see voucher B48594). Superintendent Weber has not been a brilliant success in man aging this institution. He has failed to maintain the standard of discipline and has inaugurated few. if any, beneficial changes. A considerable reduction might be made in the expense of ihe manage ment, But as that would involve a re duction in the volume of "loaves and fishes,” that, under the Poynter ad ministration, is not to be counted on or expected. At Geneva, as at other places where state Institutions are located, there is complaint of the manner In which drags, groceries and supplies are pur chased It is tiie saute story told over and over again lu these columns.

That country merchants are sell ing more goods and gett'ng larger profits nnd prompter pav for goods sold than ever before In the history the state. 6. That mechanics are busy every where. From towns, largp and small, come reports of a demand for mechan ics exceeding the supply. In Omaha more men are employed at higher wages and shorter working hours than was the caso in any previous year save 1897-8, when the exposition pro duced a temporary demand for men. Inquiry among all classes of mechan ics reveals the fact that the mean av erage of wage scale is higher, work day hours shorter and the demand for men very active. No man who wants to work need be Idle. (i, That the Jobbers and wholesale merchants and manufacturers of Ne braska arc selling more goods at lar ger profits than was true of their trade In the year 1S9G; that of fifty firms reporting, the Increased volume of bus iness ranged from 20 to 9.’0 per cent, nnd that in no case was a decrease of business reported. 7. That flity jobbing houses, farm Implement houses, manufacturers, 1 wholaale houses, etc., report a large Increase In the number of men em- | ployed. In wages paid and the average Increase In the number of traveling men covering Nebraska territory is nearly 60 per cent. The paramount question Is: What ; would any of these classes gain by a change of government at Wasning ton? Ho you want a change? WHAT THE MECHANIC'S RAY. In Omaha the change in regard to wages paid, hours of employment and number of persons engaged is so grat- 1 ifving that the classes affected will i gladly do what they can to support in powar the political party which has mail* possible tills remarkable im provement In conditions. The follow ing reports were obtained from ofli cials of the various local anions: Printing Pressmen’* Union—Our scale of wages In 1896 war $16 to $18 per week for ten hours per day. In 1900 our scale Is the same per diem for nine hours per day. In 1896 20 per cent of our members were idle all the time and 40 per cent of those pm ployed were making but half time In 1900 all members are employed and all are making full time—in short, we are working shorter hours and making more money than we did in 1896. Plasterers', Bricklayers’ and Stone masons' Teniers’ Union—Our scale of wages in 1896 was 15 to H'/k cents per houi* for ten hours. In 1900 our scale Is 24 cents per hour for eight hours, and we have 50 per cent more men em ployed than in 1896. , Plumbers' Union—Our scale of wages in 1896 was 45 cents per hour for eight hours. In 1900 it is 50 cents per hour for eight hours. Until July 1st we have had 30 per rent more me* em ployed than wc had in 1S96. Painters and Decorators—Our scale In 1896 was 30 cents per hour. We had no scale signed up regarding hours of employment. Our present scale is 35 cents for eight hours, time and a half for overtime and double time for Sundays. In 1896 our union had about fifty members in good standing. In 1898 we had nearly 200 members. This was owing to the Trans-Mississippi exposition. Our members are all, or nearly all, employed at the present time. Bricklayers 'Union—In 1896 our scale of wages was 50 cents per hour for eight hours, time and a half for over time and double time for Sundays. Our scale for 1900 is 50 centH per hour, with no other changes. Our union has had about 160 members for the past five years. There is more work In our trade in Omaha at the present time than wo have had in the last , eight years. Carpenters Union—Uur scale or t wages In 1896 In South Omaha was 25 cents per hour for ten or twlve hours, * For 1900 it Is 35 cents per hour for , eight hours, time and a half for over time and double time for Sundays. In Omaha our scale In 1896 wav 30 cents per hour for eight hours, time and a half for overtime and double time for Sundays. In 1900 It Is 40 cents per hour and no other change*. More than double the number t re now em ployed in our trade than In 1896, al though there are a great many car penters idle at present. This is owing to the Transmississlppi Exposition, which brought a great many carpen ters here wtio have remained. Horseshoer*’ I nion—Our scale is the same as it was in 1996 for the same hours.

There has also been a gratifying In crease of prices during this time. Hteers, for instance, sold July 31st, 1896, at from $2.75 to $3.70; July 31st, 1900, they brought $5.50. Hogs sold July 31st, 1896, at $2.77; July 31st, 1900, the price was $5.09. The price paid for sheep July 31st, 1896, ranged from $2 to $5.50; July 31st, 1900, the range was from $4 to $5.45.

THE WHOLESALE TRADE. Information gained from a large number of the principal business men of Omaha through letters of inquiry and personal interviews discloses the fact that, without u single exception, there has been a marked “'expansion" of business in Nebraska's chief city during the four years the republican party has been in charge of national affairs. In securing this information no regard whatever was had to politi cal affiliations, the desire being to j make the exhibit a perfectly fair one in every respect. The line of inquiry covers a comparison of amount of j business In 1896 with i960; comparison of the number of employes then and now, and also of the wages paid. The replies show, with one exception, that the lowest increase in amount of bus iness is 20 per cent, ranging from that up lo 950 per cent, with .i large pro portion of instances win re the per centage of gain was 75 per cent to 100; the Increase In ’he number of cm- , pioyes- ranges from 15 to 200 per cent. : and the range of Increase In salaries paid Is from 10 per cent to 53 per cent, j The increase in a iarge proportion of I cases Is from 25 to 50 per cent. WOULD ENDANGER PROSPERITY. The secretary of the treasury. In his reply to Mr. Schurz, with reference to the money question, said. “It yught to have been apparent to you, as it no doubt was, that I was speaking of possibilities of the case under circum stances and conditions as they now ex ist, but you proceed to point out how, at the next session of congress, which will meet in December, legislation could be had which would completely forestall unfriendly action toward the gold standard, even if Mr. Bryan were j ele< ted and should cherish the flrm-set purpose declared by him on September 16, 1896, at Knoxville, Tenn., where he said: 'If there is any one who believes that the gold standard Is a good thing or that it must be maintained, I warn him not to cast his vote for me, be cause I promise him it will not be maintained in this country longer than I am nble to get rid of it.’ “You rebuke me in polite terms for sounding a false note of alarm dis quieting the business community, and especially when uttered by one in au thority. I am not at all skilled in con troversy and have had no practice in dialectics, but I will lndu'ge in a few words In the way of rejoinder to your j criticism. “In 1896 you are yourself quoted as ' saying. 'The mere apprehension of a possibility of a substitution by Mr. | Bryan's election and of the consequent placing of our country on the silver I basis has already caused untold mil- j lions of our securities to be thrown , upon the market. Scores of business orders are recalled, a large number of manufacturing establishments have re stricted their operations, enterprise is already discouraged and nearly para lyzed. • * • And if these are the effects of a mere apprehension of a possibility what would be the ef fects of the event itself? There is scarcely an imaginal limit to the de struction certain to be wrought by the business disturbance that Mr. Bryan’s election would cause.’ i am unanie to perceive, conunuen Mr. Gage, "why tie consequence, in a minor degree, perhaps, would not en hue now. which you so forcibly fore shadowed then. Whpn consequences so great as these are involved the forces operating to inaugurate them should he resisted at every point. Even the possibility of danger should he avoided. It is a familiar fact and one altogether too much In evidence that an administrative officer, filled with ha tred and contempt of a particular law, can, by perverse Ingenuity, practically nullify its operations." Referring to Mr. Srhurz's suggestion that Mr. Bryan's hands could he tied by the present congress, Mr. Gage said that <t would require new legislation by a party whose policy would have been rejected by the people through their last expression at the polls, that the next session of congress will ex pire March 4, 1901; that *h#> free sil ver minority would lie Justified by their constituents in using all the resources of dilatory procedure to urevent such legislation and that such legislation would probably lie Impossible.

All the Improvements were paid for by money earned in business here in the last four years. The most notable change is, that it was almost Impossible to borrow money on any kind of security during the democratic times, but now if it becomes known that Mr. So-and-So wants to borrow a little money, half a dozen loun agents will call to see him before night, each one trying to coax him to borrow the money of him. Tills condition of the finance prompted the Inquiry at the Laurel State bank. E. H. Gerlng. the cashier, said; "It Is difficult to express how the phenomenal prosperity has taken place in this part of Nebraska. Isuul values have almost doubled since 1896; mortgages have been reduced wonder fully. It is impossible to make a tarin loan now without inserting a prepay ment privilege, while in former years the principal idea was to get the money regardless of terms. In 1896 our deposits were about $12,000. In th-> depression incident to the silver craze of that fall they were down to almost $7,000. Since tl;at time there lias been a steady increase, entirely from the savings of our home people, until now we have over $90,000. Present In terest rates are much lower, farm loans can tie placed at 5Vi* per r ’it instead of from 8 to 10 per cent i.< 1896. j\ very Slgniucam leaiure oi . nis prosperity Is the fact .hat Its existence cannot he attributed wholly to good crops, for we had good crops before 1897. The largest crops of wheat and corn ever grown hero either before or since were in 1895 and 1830 respective ly. In 1895 wheat sold here at 35 cents, and in 189b corn sold here as low as 6 cents, and 10 cents was considered very high. The prices of cattle, horses and hogs were as low in proportion as corn. Farmers then sold their crops as soon as harvested; now, they are able to hold them until the price is satisfactory. Times changed; they have paid off their mortgages and are now in pros perous circumstances. Farmers are loaning money to one another to a considerable extent now. We have some instances where farmers are making regular farm loans to their neighbors. At the present rate of in crease in wealth in this part of the state they will soon be able to take care of their farm loans without the aid of money from the east. Tti«* Elk Aiitl#m. The biggest pair of elk antlerB in the world is said to he that which hang in the office at the Philadelphia zoo. in height the antlers are above five feet, and the distance between the main horns at the widest part cf the hoop is four feet six Inches. At *heli base the antlers are fourteen inches in diameter. “Undoubtedly,” natural ist to whom they are shown, say. “these are as big and heavy and per fect a pair of horns as ever grew." The elk that carried the huge antlers was sent from the west to the Acad emy of Natural Sciences. The skele ton excelled in weight and size any that had ever been seen there. The Trank Settled III* Kill. Some years ago a man ran up a bill of $200 in the Tremont house, Chi cago, and then ran away without set ting it. The trunk which remained In his room was unusually heavy, and when opened after his departure was found to contain specimens of ore, brought from the gold and silver mines of Colorado, where, presuma bly, he had lost all his money. After waiting out the legal time Mr. Cage sent the contents of the trunk to an assayer. who returned two lilts of metal valued at more than $100 in excess of the bill, after deducting his own fee.
