Davis, ex-Sheritf of Clay county, was appointed Warden of the state penitentiary by Gov. Ueit rich Monday. The cash contributions to the Gal veston flood sufferers last summer reached the enormous amount of f 1,988,414. The Odd Fellows in the United Stated now number a trifle over a million, outstripping ull other soci eties in point of membership. y If tlis office of King of Epgland was lapped now it would sound hollow. There is nothing in it, except a profligate son of an honored pareut._ UeWet captured another supply irain from the British last week. Whenever he runs short of luuuilious of war, he makes a sortie and takes them from John lfull. There may be objections to. elect ing United States Senators by direct vote, but the tom foolery being car ried on at Lincoln ju»t now will strengthen the hands of the advo cates of the new plan. Mrs. Nation says she will stay in Topeka, until every one of its 120 saloons are closed. Judging from the past, modern embalming will be the only means by which she can hope to make her word good. General McArthur has expelled one ltice, an American editor of a Manila paper, from the isiatid bml returned him to the states. There is a chance for a grand stand play by the Commoner. Let them secure his services as sub editor. England pays 72 cents per pound for letters carried across the Atlantic in English bottoms, and 4 l cents if carried by vessels of oilier nations, but very little mail from the British Isles is allowed to get into alien ves sels hence the home companies reap a magnificent harvest How is that for subsidies. A proposition is being submitted to the voters of Arnold township, Custer county, to vote sixty-four hundred dollar bonds to aid in the construction or extention of the Kearney and Mack Hills railroad, the terminus of which is now at Ca! la way. This is the same road which we noted last week as having made a proposition for bonds to be sub mitted to the voters of Logan county. T^ie mother of Quantnll of guerilla fame is passing her last days in the Oad Fellows home at Springfield, Ohio. Her husband, who was an honored member of that order died in 1854 and after nearly half a cen tury of life a'one she was forced to go to the poor house, where she was recognized by an Odd Fellow and immediately taken to their home, where she will die among friends. The last desirable tract of tbe public domain will be opened to settlement in Oklahoma, sometime next summer. This will doubtless be the last chance for people to ob tain free homes from Uncle Sam There is already a large immigration in that direction. From every part of the country people are moving towards the strip with a hope pf securing a tract for a new home. The republican members of the house and serrate will keep oa with their wrangling over the election of a United States senator until they will hear something drop, and that (irop is very liable to come from the opposition side of the house. It would be an easy matter for the fusionists to settle the business h\ leaving some of the most formidable republican candidates out in tin cold and cast their vote for others ol the republican candidates whose support is enough to hardy win out wjih the support of the opposition. I’bis may not be dt at but it is r ot unreasonable to expect something of the kiud when the fusionists fin ally learn ihat iLtre is no hope for them to secure one of the plums. If D. h). Thompson was not *o much for self and would stop to con sider where he was at, it would not rake him long to see that he has gone far enough in the senatorial contest. The leading tcpublicans of this state do not want to see him elected ar.d the rank and file of the republican parti is even more pre counced against him. The admin istration needs the support of good loyal republicans. If allegations as charged against Mr. Thompson are true, it is conclusive evidence that he is not loyal to his party, and that if elected he will only be expected to work for the interest of self nud that the welfate of his party and eonatituants will be a secondary matter. Mr Thompson should step down and out. The ship subsidy bill, should it pass or should it not? Let the pendulum of prejudice cease to swing for a brief moment, until our Amer icanism asserts itself before we an swer. Information gathered from reliable sources incline us in its favor, as regards cur merchant marine. Our coastwise and lake shipping is protected by sumptuary laws, our ocean interests are at the rnsrcy of all nations. Statistics say that il costs l'O per cent more to build vessels in America than in Europe, for instance two vc-sels that have been selected for a comparison show that the Aineiicati baiL boat of d,TOO tons burden cost $273,000, while the Englishman's float of 4, loi) tons co.-t $217,000. Both arc common carrying vessels. Aftei being put in commission and run for one year, both fully manned, one paying American wages and the other the prevailing English prices, the Yankee craft cost- $0,000 mme t i operate it than did that of the Englishman, The Sieintifle Amei i an says that these figures ere facts, which of course furnishes ns a test of tin* tine mcrits of the case, and cannot, it would seem, stop short of convincing the American people that one of tw» things must occur, lilber the continued inertia of our mei ch uit marine or the adoption of a subsidy system. Last year »e paid $240,000,000 to owners of foreign lottoras to carry our traffic, the pro posed subsidy bill carries with it $0,000,000 a year, which can we afford best. This measure is purely American and politics should not inter into it. For us we say build up our merchant maiine. What do you say ? Westerville, Jan , ‘23, 1301. Born—To llev. and Mrs. VV. E.

AN EASY GOING BEAR i Fhotmcrnphlnic n niK Url«rl>- Id the Yrllunalunu I’urk. I eaid to my cowboy friend, "Do you know this bear?” He replied: “Waal, I rarkon I do. That’s the old grizzly. He’s the big gest b’ar In the park. lie generally minds his own business, but ho ain’t seared o’ nothin, an today, you gee, he's been serappln, so lie's liable to be ugly.” "I would like to take his picture,” said I, “and if you will help me I am willing to take some chances on it.” "All right,” said he, with a grin. “I’ll stand by on the horse, an If he charges you I’ll charge him, an I kin knock him down once, but I can't do It twice. You better have your tree picked out.” The grizzly came- on, and I snapped him at 40 yards, then again at 20 yards, and still he came quietly to ward me. I sat down on the garbage and made ready—IS yards—16 yards — 12 yards—8 yards, and still he came, wlille the pitch of Johnny's protests kept rising proportionately. Finally at five yards he stopped and swung his huge bearded head to one side to see what was making that aggravat ing row in the tree top, giving me a profile view, and I snapped the camera. At the click he turned on me with a thunderous g-r-o-w-1, and I sat still and trembling, wondering If my last moment had come. For a second he glared at me, and I could note the lit tle green electric lamp In each of his eyes. Then he slowly turned and pick ed up a large tomato can. "Goodness,” 1 thought, “is he going to throw flint at me?” Hut he delib erately licked it out, dropped It and took another, paying thenceforth no heed whatever either to me or to John ny, evidently considering us equally beneath his notice.—E. Seton-Thomp son in Scribner's. TOOK CENTURIES TO BUILD. Cologne Cnthnlrnl Wnw In I’rore»» of Erection ii.'ig Years. While the first stone of Cologne ca thedral was laid on Aug. 1.', 1248, and the body of the edifice was not opened until Aug. 15, 1848, 000 years later to the very day, it was not, however, un til Aug. 15, 1880, that the splendid structure was finally reported complet ed, having thus occupied In building the record time of exactly G32 years. The castle of Kingsgoberg, which stands at the southern extremity of Jutland, took 204 years from the laying of the foundation stone to the rigging of its master’s banner on Its highest flagstaff. Its foundation stone was the skull of its builder’s bitterest enemy. Three months after its layitig Count Jhorsing, the builder of the castle, was killed. Ills son was then In swaddling clothes. lie did not continue his fa ther’s work until aged 24. On his twenty-fifth birthday he was thrown into prison by the son of the man whose skull lay In the earth of Kingsgoberg's foundation stone. In this manner master after master of Kingsgoberg was stopped putting an other stone toward the completion of the founder’s work till civilization in tervened. Itestormel castle, In Cornwall, took 90 years to build, of which period ex actly one-third was occupied in exca vating the foundations. The solid rock upon which it stands is almost as hard as iron. Indeed Kestormel means in Cornish “the palace of the Iron rock.” Miiais cathedral was begun In 1280 and finished under Napoleon in 1805, 419 years. The Duomo, at Florence, was com menced by Arnulfo In the year 1294, the last block of marble being placed in position in the facade in presence of the king on May 12, 1887, a period of 593 years.—Stray Stories. Krnl mill Burr. James Kent, whose famous “Com mentaries on American Law” is class ed with Blackstone as the greatest textbook on law, was a great admirer of Alexander Hamilton, and when the great Federalist was killed by Aaron Burr in a duel he became the implaca ble enemy of tlie latter. One day long afterward when in New York the Judge saw Burr on the opposite side of Nassau street, lie went across the street as fast as his years wmdd per mit and, brandishing his cane in Burr’s face, shouted: “You’re a scoundrel, sir, a scoundrel, a scoundrel!” Burr proved equal to the emergency, lie raised his hat and bowed to the ground and then said in his calmest professional tone, “The opinions of the learned chancellor are always entitled to the highest consideration.”—Argo naut. 'WorkltiK the 11 e a 11 of the Family. It’s a wise boy who knows how to work his father, and In this precious age most boys are wise. Louis’ father works In Omaha, but Louis hlinself lives with his grandma In western Nebraska. Like most boys do, Louis writes to his fond father only when he wants money or something new in wearing apparel. Last week he wrote, enumerating a number of articles he needed. Among other things he wrote: “Please send me some stockiags. You better send bicycle stockings because they last longer than the other kind. Are you going to send me a bicycle on my birthday to wear with my bicycle stockings?”—Omaha World-Herald, The Olintarle. Oldhamme — Young man, have an Ideal.
