I PURELY PERSONAL j MnutnunuuHticittxMittKitl A Fair Iconoclast. When Ethelyn Leslie Huston, whose philosophic writings on social evolu tion and kindred topics are attracting wide attention, was a wee bit of a child »he Mvas precocious in nearly every thing. Above all, she w’as a devoted lover of books, the deeper the range of thought suggested, the more suited to her tastes. She had a habit of reason ing out little deficiencies in the human ■character that used to drive the older ,folks nearly to distraction. She was Hernally “treading on the corns" of nearly everyone with whom she came In contact. Just after she left a Ne braska college, at eighteen, she took it into her head to censure certain of the olorgy for their narrowness of view Her first article on that subject ap peared in a Cleveland paper. It w'as widely copied, and from that day. Miss lieslie (that was her ante-nuptial name) was a quantity lo be reckoned with in the world of protest—a quanti ty the magnitude of which has steadily increased. Today she has few, if any ppers among defenders of individual independence of thought In poral and religious matters. Her stories and ar ticles now -tinning in many American publications, being happily attuned to her philosophy, are in great demand. Mrs. Huston was born in Toronto. Canada, bu* is a thorough cosmopoli tan. While living in Idaho, her ex treme independence of thought attract ed the attention of the late W. C. Brann who secured her as associate editor of his "Iconoclast," of Waco, Texas. After his death. Mrs. Huston came north and recognizing that Chi cago was destined to become the liter ary hub of the continent, took up her ETHELYN LESLIE HUSTON, aliode in that city. There she is the vice president of the Independent Pen woman's club and the center of a con stantly increasing circle of writer folk and of persons of literary habits gen erally. Surrounded by kindred spirits, •she lives what might be called an ideal Bohemian life, dispensing the in cense of her broad and Omaresque phil osophy among the thirsty souls that come to drink at the fountain of her good cheer. EjrtratJagancr in College Sport The opinion grows that athletics may be overdone at colleges if carried beyond the point of compelling each student to take adequate exercise. Re form is evidently required in the in terest of the students themselves, a majority of whom can ill afford the money thrown away yearly on "sport." Exercise in a gymnasium is well enough, but the tpams. with their games, rivalries, etc., if not properly regulated. detract attention from studies, to say nothing of losses of life on tlie football field and the "cane rushes," hazing, etc., which violent snarts seem to promote. — Lord Salisbury's Son. Viscount Cranborne, who was posed <n {parliament by Henry Norman on the'attjtude of the British government in the K'icaraguan canal treaty, is par liamentary secretary for foreign af fairs. He is the eldest son of Lord Salisbury and has just passed his thir tieth birthday. At 25 he entered par liament. but has done nothing to dis tinguish himself either for his bril liancy or his ability as a statesman. Young C'ranhorne was educated at Ox ford. and was married to the daughter of the fifth earl of Arran. He has rep VISCOUNT CRANHORNE. resented the Darwin division of Lan cashire. and since 1893 he has sat for Rochester. In the last parliament he was chairman of the committee on church. He will succeed his father in the marquisate of Salisbury. i In tbe Public €pe j "RenJenue Commijjioner. John VV. Yerkes of Kentucky, ha3 been nominated by the president to be commissioner of Internal revenue. The recent candidate for governor of Ken tucky will at once assume the duties of his new post. He is considered a j capable man for the w'ork he will have | to do in the revenue office. He Is a JOHN W. YERKES. | lawyer of uncommon ability and has ' already served the United States in that branch of the department in which he is now to be an important functionary. Three years ago Mr. Yerkes was made collector of internal revenue in Kentucky, and has since occupied that position. He succeeded William O. Bradley as member of the Republican national committee and | for many years has been a prominent Republican. He is 46 years old. Peck's MtUennium. The future historian will note as one of the most conspicuous features of the close of the nineteenth century the innumerable projects of re formers to expedite better conditions among men. After examining the sys tems of Marx, Most. Henry George and Bellamy he will, perhaps, light upon that just set forth by Mr Peck of Lew iston. Me., which is beginning to at tract the attention of those who are engaged in the pleasant task of hur rying up the millennium. Mr. Peck is the owner of a large for tune. His scheme is a far-reaching one; nothing less, in fact, than the organization of a huge trust which will absorb the government of the United States and administer it so as to abolish vice, ignorance and poverty. "Rofeberry'j Daring Dluff. It is related of Lord Rosebery that he once arranged to meet a friend at a country railroad station, the two in tending to travel in the same direc tion. The train arrived, but his friend was still over half a mile away,though his carriage could be seen coming as fast as the horses could gallop. Lord Rosebery vainly entreated the station master to hold the train for a few min utes, and as a last resort sat down on the rails in front of the engine, refus ing to budge until his friend was on the platform. "Raifcj the Dalance of Grade. Edna May, the actress, has arrived home from England with sufficient EDNA MAY. gold to raise the balance ot trade total another hundred thousand. It is said on good authority that her London earnings alone amounted to $75,000. Her tour of the provinces brought her an additional $115,000. England as a Pleasure "Resort. outlie ratner startling ideas regard ing the social future of England are set forth by William Clarke in the Contemporary Review. This English man has come to the conclusion that England is destined to surely lose its industrial and commercial supremacy, and that the best future it can hope for is that of becoming a sort of interna tional summer resort and a haven of refuge for the world’s rich men. He sees American steel, iron, coal and ma chinery superseding the English pro ducts. while German goods are ousting English manufactures in every market of the world. The giant of English in dustry is ‘ visibly exhausted,” and this writer believes England can never again overtake its younger rivals. He also thinks England can never change j its institutions so as to establish a ! peasant democracy, such as one finds in certain continental countries. The tendency is to drift toward still g. eater Inequality between the classes, and this, Mr. Clarke thinks, will determine England's new mission as a pleasure ground for the leisured classes ot all nations. IRRIGATION AND RIPARIAN RIGHTS. Constitutionality of State Art to Bt§nb. jert t« I.eiral Test. DiS'COI.N, Dec, 2i -The constitu tionality of tii • stale Irrigation act will be subjected to a legal test ^before the supieme court next month The court recently handed down a decision which was believed at the same time to be a deathblow <o the irrigation interests of Nebraska and an effort will be made to secure either a reversal or a modifi cation of that opinion. The decision was in the case of the Crawford com - pany against Hathaway and others, appealed from Dawes county. The case will be brought to the at tention of the court for second consid eration by Attorneys .1 W Deweese and J S. Kirkpatrick of this city, who will appear as friends of the court in behalf of th" irrigation interesls of the state, but not as attorneys for either party in the original action T.eare was granted to file the motion and the document prepared by the at torneys was presented The court is a«kcd to revets" or modify the judg ment; to decide the constitutionality of the irrigation statutes in their re laion to the creation of th" State Board of Imigalion; to adjudge and determine to what extent the irrigation laws modify or abrogate riparian lights and to adjudge and determine whether the light of I.eroy Hall ap pelle in the Crawford company case, tp maintain a dam upon and to use tli waters c.f White river for power purposes has been acquired by pro scription or as riparian owner or pro pi ietor. The court will listen to argument cut these questions at the sitting be ginning January 2. Nelcrntka v* tlie II. A II. R. K LINCOLN'. Dec. 24—The action of the supreme court in overruling the motion of the attorney general for a t-hearing of the c ase or the State of Nebraska again--: the Burlington rail road, has removed ail possibility of prolonging the existence of the State Board of Transportation under its pres ent organization. According to the de cree of the court the life of the board came to an end when the motion was overruled and. therefore, the salaries cf the three secretaries and other em ployes stopped at the same time. See tprary O I, Laws said regarding the matter "My opinion is that we are knocked out. but there is still a pos sibility of reorganizing the board tinder the ai t of 1885, which may have been revived by the decision of the court. That act provides for a board, consist ing of the auditor, attorney genera! and secretary of state, and allowed oach member to appoint his own sec retary on condition that the three lie chosen trom the Fret, Second and Third districts respectively. If the law of 1885 is still in force there might be a reorganization but 1 am not pre pared to say so positively." Senator Allen Asked to Help. LINCOLN. Dec 24.—The Nebraska dairymen, in annual session in this city, sent the following telegram to Senator Alien at Washington; "In the name of seventy thousand cow owners of Nebraska, we task you to teport the Grout bill from commit tee and to become its especial advo cate on the floor of the senate."

Find Silk* in a Queer Flare. TABLE HOCK. Neb.. Dee. 24.—A sacks of silks and other goods was found here by one of the section men under a pilp of railroad ties a half mile or less east of the depot. During the day a couple of strangers were dis covered tearing down the pile of ties' and handling them over. When dis covered they left on a freight train. The goods were near where the freight, trains stop. Before the find was re ported to the authorities the strangers had left town. Dr n<l«-lioii. It Ton m i ii i; In XehrdikH.

LINCOLN, Dec. 22. -“Returns from the creameries of the state show that 9,093,706 pounds of creamery butter were manufactured in Nebraska in the year 1900, the greater per cent of whit h found a market outside the borders of our state," said Secretary Bassett, “it is estimated that 6.000, 000 pounds of dairy butter or farm butter produced in this state has, under the commercial term of ladle butter, been shipped to markets out side the state, making the exported butter product of the state for the year approximately 15,000,000 pounds. This amount is but a small percentage of the butter which might be produced for export from tlx state or that would be produced if fraudulent imitation products were compelled to be sold .in their merits and honest butter had only fair and legitimate competition in the open market."
