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

an English ‘ prophet according to
Mr. Bryan, is the leader of demo

that party object to friendly relations
between the two countries*
On the 10th of December, 1897, Rev.
S. A. Donahoe, pastor M. E. church,
South, Ft. Pleasant. \V. Ya. contracted
a severe cold which was attended from
the begglntilng hy violent coughing. He
says; -After resorting to a number
of so-called ‘specifics,’ usually kept in
the house, to no purpose’ I purchase
a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Reme

The “government canteen.” What
is it? During the past few years
considerable capital has been made,
or tried to be made, against tbe ad
ministration for favoring the “can
teen” as it was claimed it was Injur
ious to the mort is of the soldier, and
demoralizing to good order at the
posts. An interview with three reg
ular soldiers, Mr. J. ltost of near
Albion, who has spent, the past six
years in the army, Mr. Chas. Unit
man a member of the, Sixth U. S.
Cavalry for thirteen years, and Chas.
Mohler who was a member of the
First Nebraska and now a regular
-oliiicr, elicited the following facts:
That the “canteen” merit a regular
supply store wnere every unrig com
monly carried by the stiller can be
purchased including beer and wine,
but whiskey,they ciaim, is never sold.
A superintendent is employed ai
$45. 00 per month and must corrcct
iv aecouut for all nan-actions. A
private soldier is select) d fiom
among the hoy's by 'heir own ehoiee
to assist in the “canteen'' auci is
given i>lf> 00 a mouth extra pay. The
‘•canteen” belongs to the boy’s ur
tualy, and ail profits is turned into a
general fund and used for the sol
diers when necessity demands. 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. The
boy's prize the systsm very highly
and say it would be a bid idea to go
back to the sutler system.

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.
Ti e prisoner says lie didn't. You settle
it.”
