II OIIISON, i I'utilUlirr* TEKMS:—Sl.oo pek teak, nr paid in advance Entered at the I.oup City Postuftlce for trails mission ibroiiKh the malls as second class matter. Severe storms on the lakes have ji wrecked many vessels ami a number of lives have been lost during the past thirty days. A large German training ship was wrecked off Mallaga, in the Mediter ranian sea last week and a large number of cadets were lost YY\ Jennings Bryan will be the founder of a paper called the Com moner, so says the press. The name is all right but it smacks of another grand stand play by Billy. Rosewater Stock in Omaha, his home, is slightly above par, but it re mains to be seen how it will be valu ed by the balance of the state after the legislature convenes. ^ That war that was over some time ago in South Africa is still making John Bull jump side ways at u very rapid rate, and prospects for Boer independence grows brighter as time rolls on. Dewet is making it rather damp for Kitchener. The State fair association makes a modest demand upon the legislators this winter for a substantial increase in their cash allowance m support of the big show. State fairs and couu > ty fairs are dying < lit all over the country of their own weight, and most stales are dropping the scheme. Why not start a street fair in the place of the big show. The recent election frauds in South Omaha as developed by the invest igation is the strongest smelling piece of ciisssdness Nebraska lias been called upon to face in the histo ry of the state. It has never been • quailed north of Mason and Dixon's Hue outside ot New Y«>rk City where Tammany steals every thing political 4n sight. And now the Nebraska Indepen dent, the great populist organ, says that a large put so has been raised for the purpose of freeing Hartley from the penitentiary, and that Gov enor I’oynter is to receive $•').”> *>00 of it. It seems strange that al,reform" organ, like the Independent would have supported a man for chief exe cutive that it thought would take money for favors. Everything poiuts towards the a doption of the Davis amendment to the Hay-Pauocefote treaty by the Senate, which nuansthat Uncle Sam claims the right to fortify the Nieara uguan canal if he desires. England i will most likely refuse the treaty if amended in which case the old obso lete Clay ton Buiwer treaty will re main. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty is a back number and has outlived its usefulness, and should be abrogated at the earliest possible moment It don’t seem as if it should be any of John Bulls business whether Uncle Sam fortifies his own property or not as long as it is in America at y least. For the past few years there has been a persistant effort made by the democratic party to imbue the people of this country with the idea that u secret alliance existed between England and the United States for just what purpose was not clearly stated, but the bugabo, it was ap parently, hoped would cost the repub lican party enough votes to place the democrats iu power. The peculiar feature of the whole matter is the position the democratic party holds as worshipers of ‘‘Boss” Croser, the leader of Tammany, the great est democratic machine in 'be United States. Mr. Croker lias beeu virtually a resident of England for some years. He maintains a private residence in that country at.d retired to it immediately after election tlii*. fall. He is taxed as a resident of Hut e uintry and imme diately up >n bis arrival there last inont h a tax ■ f #5.000 was levied upon him as the amount of income tax issued by that country upon i's ciii ■ ■!■■■ «>M ' in ——■IM—■■■!■ I ■ Zens wl- jse annua! income reaches £100 lf> 00 a mouth extra pay.

If • me is sick his delicacies are pnrehas ctl from this general fund, and all three of the above soldiers claimed that no whiskey was sold. Mr. Host was the assistant in the “canteen for a number of months and says he has saw a small amount of alco hoi sold but never any whisky.

COPPER TOE NOW EXTINCT. I’orr Hi** Hoot Protector IV*. Invent* <•<1 by n 'liilnr Farmer. Children kick out the toes of their hoots mnv Just ns much us they ever did, but the copper toe 1ms gone ont of date too long ago to talk about. It was flue, though. In its day. llow the cop per did wink and glitter In the fire light! Away up in tin' Maine woods a farmer who could not bear the thought of giving tlie shoemaker all he earned took an old copper washboiler and cut it into strips, which lie fastened on tlie toes of tlie hoots of Elbridge and El mer. Ellsworth and Eddie. "There now!” said he. “Less see you git through them in a hurry. Laws! I never see boys so hard on shoe leath er!” It was a bright idea, and the more he thought about it the more it was borne in on him that it was a bright Idea. He got a patent on it. Elbridge and Elmer, Ellsworth ami Eddie were kind of ashamed to he seen in their copper toes at tirst. but when the other hoys all crowded around them at the district school and said: "(Josh! Wooslit my pa would fix my boots that way!” they felt umre comfortable and rather happy. Prom that it went on till, for tin- sake of peace and quietness In the house, if for no other reason, fathers Intel to buy copper toed’hoots for their hoys. The Maine farmer got rich and had pie three times a day and moved to town and had a haircloth sofa In the front room and a marble topped center table with wax flowers In a glass ease on it and everything that heart could wish. But foolishness Is hound up in tlie heart of u child, and it is part of his na ture to he hard on shoes. You may beat the laws of the universe for a lit tle while when they are not looking, hilt not for lung. The day came when tin* child woke up and realized that it was being robbed of its rights guaran teed under the constitution. Some thing like this, eh, “We, tlie children of the rlilted States, in convention assem bled, do hold those truths to be self evident?" Not at all, not at all. They said: “lice! Coppcrtoes! Copportocs!” And the coon came down.—Harvey Sutherland In Alnslee’s. REPEATING A GOOD STORY. She Wan Mot it Drinker nntl Missed Its Point. “My wife liars just heard that old sto ry about the man on the train and the corkscrew,” said my neighbor. "The story goes this way: Man rises in a car and says, Ts there a man from Bangor Me., iu the car?’ ’Mother man gets up with an inquiring look on his face. ‘I'm from Bangor,’ says he. ‘Well,’ says the lii t feller, ‘let me take your corkscrew.’ “My wife thought the story was pret ty good. The other night I was out in tlie sitting room reading, and she was in the parlor talking with the woman from over the way. I had to stop read ing and listen to this: “ ‘Oh, say.’ says my wife, ‘I heard an awfully funny story the other day. Now, let me think a minute. Can’t be that I've forgotten it. Let’s see. Oh, yes. This is it. The other day on the train a man got up in the car all at once and shouted just as loud as he could, “Is there a man from Bangor, Me., in this car?” Every one jumped and looked at the man. One person down near the door stood up and said, “I'm from Bangor, sir.” The other man then said, “Will you be kind enough to let me take your screwdriver?” There! Isn't that funny?’ "Tie, he, he,’ snickered the other woman.a little easy. ‘Yes, that’s a real cute story; just as funny as it can be. But what did lie mean? I guess I don’t understand what it Is about.’ “I could almost hear the wife think ing. Then says she: ‘Well, my gracious, that doesn't sound so funny now. I wonder what the trouble Is with it? Guess 1 didn’t tell it right. But no matter. Oh, you were going to tell me about that new ribbon cake that’— and then I continued with my literary studies.”—Lewiston (Me.) Journal. Him Wonlil You Have Said Ilf There is much in the way a thing is said. “Your cheeks are like roses,” said Aunt Flora when Lois came In from a January walk, glowing from the cold and exercise. Lois smiled and looked lovingly at Aunt Flora. Aunt Margaret entered the room a minute later and glancing at Lois ns she stood by the fire said: “My! Your face is as red as a beet!” The red grew deeper on Lois’ face, while unconsciously she turned petu lantly away from Aunt Margaret, who prides herself on being “plain spoken.” Aunt Flora's way is best. She can say the right word at the right time, too, even tlie word of admonition and reproof, but she says it in such a man ner that one can think only of the Scriptural “apples of gold in pictures of silver.”—Ada C. Sweet in Woman’s Home Companion. Brief fine] Pithy'. An American law journal has quoted the charge to a jury delivered by a cer tain Judge Donovan as the shortest on record. The judge said: “Gentlemen of the jury, if you be lieve the plaintiff, find a verdict for plaintiff and lix (lie amount. If you be lieve tlie defendant, find a verdict for defendant. Follow the officer.” I tut an English periodical caps this brief charge by quoting a shorter one delivered by Commissioner Kerr. lie raid to n jury: “ That man says prisoner robbed him.
