General Gomez, the Cuban patriot ‘will visit the United States in the interest of his country. Carrie Nation has made $11.000 by her crusade, but she has been a frost to all the towns she visited. _ It is now expected that our nrtm in the Philippines wil be reduced by at least 20,000, which means a sav ing of at least $20,000,000 in army expenses. The German General. Schwartz kopf, lost his life in the fire which recently destroyed the part of the Chinese imperial palace at Pekin, in | which Von Waldersee had kis head quarters. A trio of American heiresses who married European titles a few years ago are just now discovering that they were badly buncoed. They should have came to Nebraska and got something for their money. Next Sunday is the day named for the beginning of President McKin ley’s great trip around the circle of the United States. While our ruler starls of with great potnp and a shake ot the hand for all he meets, the crowned heads of Kurppe are shutting themselves in armored palaces and dreaming of dynamite bombs. Aguinaldo has issued a manifesto to his people repuesting them to lay down their arms and help the United States to establish the humane and civilized government for the Philip pines which they have already be gun. This is a wise move on Aggy's part but it is not >et announced how George Fred Williams, Atkinson and W. J. Hryan will view it. A special to the State Journal from Butte, Neb. says that the jur\ after being out all night in the case of Fred Braley, who was charged with an assault with intent to commit rape upon a you'ng woman by the name of Mae Allgor, returned a verdict of not guilty. Before dis charging the prisoner Judge Har rington administered t" Mr. Braley a repremaud that he will long re member. The Judge stated that the evidence would have warranted cidher a virdict of not guilty or of conviction, and stated that he might consider himself fortunate that he was not found guitly, because if he had been he would have rccieved a a severe sentence. Braley has a j wife and child. The judge re- J minded him of this fact and slid he i ought to so conduct himself that it would not be necessary for him to bring his wife into court and dis grace her. The speech of Sir Michaol Hicks Beach, chancelor of the exchequer of Great Britain, last week, placed that country before her people in a much more sorry plight than was expected. His deductions informed them that the cost of killing a Boer in each case had been to England, *5,000, and while their victories had been glorious ones a few more of them would ruin the country, ting lands outlay has not nearly reached that ot tier Ncpoleonie wars which did not seriously embarrass her, but the end is not yet. neither can her wise men devine it. The American colonies were eight years in forcing her to acknowledge their indepen r’e ice, and if the Boers continue n a • ing the showing that they are now for half that length of time their snlvn j tion is assured. And why should t the Boers lay down their arms as long as a hostile Englishman Is in J their country? Dewet may be crazy m has been announced from London, but a continuation of his wav of presenting his madness to John Bull will cnmpcll a recognition of the South African Republic in the near future. SUICIDE. I •»n which was conclusive" idenee of his intent to thus end his life. lie was found by John Biemond by a soil building near tne Purl school house, in Clay township, about (i 0 clock, p m. When Mr. Biemond eame up to him he was jumping a round in great agony and when asked what was the matter held up the bottle and said he had poisoned himself. Mr. Biemond wanted to take him in the wagon and to where he could get help. Miller would not go and said that he wanted to die, but urged Mr. Biemond to go and tell his son William living about a mile away. As soon as possible Mr. Bienmnd carried the news to Mr. Miller's sin, and in the meantime Mr. Iielyster, who was living near went to his assistance, hut before he got to him he was dead. The old gentleman was a man 58 years of age and seemed to be brood iug over domestic troubles which no doubt unbalanced his mild. The facts, as we learn them, was that he came to town on Wednesday with ins son Henry and after staying with his daughter Mrs. Herman Jung until Friday, fully prepared himself to put an end to his trou lilo.s. Just before going to dinner at the Jung residence he went to Oden luhl's drug stole and bought some seryebnine, registering for the same ami stated that he wanted it to kill jophers as tie was going to do some plowing and would put it into the jopher holes. He went to dinner with Mr. Jung but did not seem to 1 ive much appetite. Mr. Jung told iim to lie down and lake a rest and perhaps he would feel bet'er after a while. He did so but after a short .ime got up and came down own and was seen leisurely walking iron mi in diHercnt parts of the city, when ati »ut half past two o’clock he it rated towards home. When he •cached the Deiystcr farm house he went in and filled a long black yott 13 with water, the a he went to ,tie sod house above mentioned and Here, it appears, mixed the deadly lose. lie also uatl with linn a whiskey hotile, the contents of which, it appears, he had taken to icrve himself up. Apparently he lad taken a portion of the whisk) tnd strychnine and mixed it with lie water in the long black bottle md from it had taken the poisonous lose. Mr. Miller leaves a wife, two sons uid two daughters. The funeral .ook place at the Miller farm last Sunday morning at 9 o’clock and he was buried in the Evergreen cemetery north of this city. The gold in the treasury at Wash ington, has reached the enormous nnouut of more than a half billion iollars and is still accumulating. So other government in the woild pusesses the ready cash that Uncle ■iam does and with one exception, llussia for a bhort time, no country ever did possess such a vast amount .f money at one time. Contrast this with ’90 and argument would lie su perfluous. The poor almond eyed celestial finds himself in the position of the spider and the fly, with the excep tions that lie has no choice left ex cept to walk in and be devoured. Thu greedy governments of conti nental Eeri pc seem to he deter mined to fleece him of even his hritch clout and make a slave of him for generations to come. Germany de mands seventy millions, while llus sia asks ninety, France comes in w ith a bill of forty millions and the little leeches that did not have a cor porals guard in Cmna, demands in the aggrrgats ihiity five. England, i!,.' a. lid renowned vampiie ic-ks !.at twent)-four millions and Uncle Sain thinks that twenty-five will heal his sores. llussia has made the modes! demand of one-*bird of the em|»irc on the side to entirely smooth their rutiled dignity and if Japan, China's lienditaiy eutmy, had not shown her teeth in the emphatic man ner she did Manchur'a would be Russian territory. Japan is far see ing enough to know that if Russia gains possession of Manchuria, her future will be misty, therefore the little island will light to the hitter end. Let the allies once leave Chi na and self preservation will cement that country and Japan, amt the Russian Bear is liable to discover that the Ural Mountains are a con genial back yard fence.
