The manipulations in Wall street
last week were of the kind ttiat make
socialists
The Marion, Ind., Leader, says
‘•This is a Democratic year every- '
place.” The Leader is mistaken
The surplus in the treasury n still
rolling up.
Europe is looking with a jealous
glance toward us but “he whom the
gods wish todestrov they first make
mad." Just watch them take les- i
sons from Yankee John.

Loup City ha9 had a represents
tive at each of the great military tin
dertakingn and battles since the
blowing up ot the Maine, except
Dewey’s great victory, and now we
send three of our buys, Charles B
Gibson, Charles H Cramer and Will ,
S. Tay lor, to be trained in the Navy j
for the future.
.Mrs. McKinley was taken sudden
ly ill at Delmonte, Cal., and was at
ouee taken to Sun Francisco, where
she could receive superior medical
treatmeut. This somewhat disar
ranged tlie scheduled plan of the
Presidential party, but it will be
continued if she improved to so
warrant.
Coh mbo is making a strenuous
elf ut to induce the United States to
relinquish any designs she lias on
the Nicaraguan route for the Ismian
canal, ami acquire and complete the
one already under way at Panama
In the face of the fact of there bav
ing been such a great amount of
wark already done at Panama, and
the favorable iudu ■eniejp* held ou'
by Colombo, it would not. be sur
prising if the latter route wasohosti.

who suffer from those unprincipled!
robberies, neither did he buy nor |
sell a single share of stock though j
he might have made millions by so
doing. Mr. Hill claims that lie is
just a little to honest ami honorable
to wreck the homes of his fellow
man to gain millions that he does
not need.
J. Pierpont Morgan was the most
welcome American visitor to the
English capitol the other day that
could have made his appearance.
A large number of English specula
tors had sold short on Northern Paci
fic stocks and they wanted Mr. Morgan
to help them let go. J. Pierpont !
was very wroth when lie discovered
that Vanderbilt & Co. were trying
to stampede his herd while he was
enjoying a lay otl in ‘‘Gay Parce
aud he immediately started for Wall
street with a brick in his hat.
Tl.e days of the ubiquitous train
newsboy appear to be numbered.
The management of the Burlington
lioute has sounded his death knell, j
After June 1st passengers on the
Burlington will have no need to de
cline lsinon drops and chewing gum,
nor hold ‘all the popular works ot
the day’ on their lips until the re.
turn trip of Ike attentive attache. |
Of the several million passengers j
who have made the acquaintance of
this individual few will chant a is
quiem for him. lie never enjoyed
a great degree of popularity, save
with children who cordially welcom
ed his aid to make persisted as
saults ou their mothers' pockelbooks.
The loss of the newsboy on Bur
lington trains will be more than :
atoned for bv the increase in the j
number of magazines ami other pe
riodicals on its library cars. More
over, uews stands will be provided
' a more than double the number of
B ulington stations now possessing
them. The radical change, alto
gether comfortable to those persons
who travel, marks an epoch in the (
gradual improvement of passenger j
train service.

ous wild anima l w tli which the e.iily
settlers of New ,b i -.ev lmd to coni *ti I.
They wen* very numerous, and tl ir
bite, if in it treated properly at on e,
was generally fatal. In “Stories Fr. in
Amerieaa History" F. Ik Stock4 in
cites an incident whieli gives an Idea
of the abundance of rattl r., in the new
colony:
In a quarry from which the work
men were engaged in getting out stone
for tlie foundations of Princeton col
lege a wide crack in tlie rocks was dis
covered which led ilow award to a large
cavity, and in this cave were found
about 20 bushels of rattlesnake bones.
There was no reason to believe that
this was a snake cemetery, to which
tin' creatures retired when they sup
posed they were approaching the end
cf their days, but it was, without
doubt, a great rattlesnake trap.
The narrow, winding passage b ail
ing to it must have been very attract
ive to a snake seeking retired quarters
In which to take its long winter n
Although the cave at the bottom of t ■
great crick was easy enough to g> t
Into, it was so arranged that it was
dillicult. if not. impossible, for a stink1'
to get out of. especially in tlie spring,
when these creatures are very thin
and weak. Laving been nourished all
winter by their own fat.
Thus year after year the rattlesnakes
must have gone down into that cavity
without knowing that they could never
get out again.
The Ilonne Problem In Purl*.
The housing problem Is one that for
years has lain heavily on those with
small incomes in Paris.
Every day the French capital be
comes more and more impossible as a
residence for poor people and. while
handsome houses grow more numerous,
reasonable lodgings become scarcer.
The poor no longer find 11 ea-y to se
cure apartments a- a modest rental in
the city unless they are willing to be
confined in barruekliko tenements on
the sixth or even seventh story or shut
off in a courtyard where they get very
little daylight and hardly ever see the
sun.
The workingman has therefore been
Obliged to migrate to the outskirts <-t
the city, and whole suburbs, like Ea
Villett • on one side of Paris and (Jro
Uelle on the other side, are now inhab
ited exclusively by industrial eolonh -
Every exhibition in Paris has
brought a rise In re: ts all around, aud
today the landlords' dm - are higher
than ever. Less accommodation is
available in Paris for a given rental
than in London, and the sanitary con
ditions are generally in! ri ■>.'.
The better housing of the working
classes, however, is now b •tinning
to attract the attention oi r forme .

Ancient entitle. Curious Cloek.
Kusheti eastie, C’astledown. Isle of
Man, is the am lent seat of the kings
and lords of man. The eastie is a veri
table curiosity, both historically aud
otherwise. The tii t mention of it
dates to the year 1-57. It was taken
after six mouths’ siege in the year
l.’51.5 by IJobert the Bruce. The castle
Is l.uilt of limestone and is not a ruin.
Fiitil a few years ago it was used as a
prison. The town clock seen in the
castle wall was presented by Queen
Elizabeth in the year 1597. It has only
oik1 hand on the dial. This is the hour
hand. The minutes are judg* d by the
position of the hand between the hours.
The works of this cloek are also a curi
osity. The weight at the end of the
pendulum is a large stone, and It is
driven by a rope ended around a cylin
der of wood, with another stone at the
end of Hie rope. The clock is still going
after its centuries of service and is still
the town clock.—Newcastle (England:
Chronicle.
Not Arenin*:.
The person who feels like saying
“Let us keep silence, that I may have
the talk all to myself.” would fain re
duce conversation to an entirely one
sided affair.
The London News says that the lnie
Charles Keene, the artist of Punch,
used to describe with great delight the
method of a certain man whom lie
called a “pot house Luskin.”
This person was sitting with a friend
in an Inn parlor and was haranguing
the other man on matters in general.
Finally the friend ventured mildly to
interpose an objection. The speaker
drew himself up with much dignity.
“I ain't a-arguing with you,” said
be; “I'm a-telling you!”
Hopeless Woman.
Mrs. Shears Oh, dear, how the wind
does blow!
Mr. Shears—My dear, did you ever
know the wind to do anything else but
blow?
“But the other day you said the rain
came right down. Did you ever know
the rain to go right up?”
“That’s quite another thing. Just
like a woman! Never can stick to the
question under discussion.” — Boston
Transcript.
