state of Illinois during the last year,
one of the worst from Kansas last
week. The charitable institutions of
Illinois are filled with party workers
. who have had no training for the po
sitions that they hold. The asylums
and hospitals are filled with the work
ers for the republican machine. All
the decent men and women on the
state board have resigned, and the
heelers have things their own way
and will continue to have them while
the republican party remains in pow
er. No other sort of government can
be expected from men who have been
elected- by the contributions of the
trusts.
General "Miles returned last Satur
day from his trip to ths Philippines
and around the world. He refused to
give any information concerning the
nature of his report to the president.
It now turns out that the German
ambassador was removed because he
used his position, or tried to, to ad
vertise a certain brand of wine. That
is another illustration of the truth
fulness of the dispatches published in
the great dailies.
It is How generally conceded that
there is no fight on in the United
States senate between Matt Quay and
the other senators over the omnibus
statehood bill. It was a little agree
ment made among all hands that that
bill should be used to prevent the
passage of the anti-injunction, eight
hour and other bills to which the
trusts objected.
Republican . legislatures being all
elected by the same influences legis
late everywhere in the interest of the
railroad corporations. Out in Wyom
ing there was an almost universal de
mand that a tax should be put on
coal, thecoal fields nearly alf having
been goI)bled by the roads long ago.
The bill was defeated. The refusal
to pass the law has created such an
uproar out there that, a split in the
republican party is predicted, but The
Independent puts no confidence in the
prediction. The rank and file will
line up and "vote 'er straight" next
time as usual, because Abraham Lin
coln freed the slaves.
Bryan is a private citizen of Lin
coln, Neb., and says that he is not a
candidate for president or any other
office, yet it seems that a word -from
him can. bring a man into prominence
all over the union. His passing refer
ence to Dr. Garvin,, governor of Rhode
Island, has set the whole country to
talking about the only democratic gov
ernor north of Mason's and Dixon's
line. Dr. Garvin's picture is in all
the great dailies. He is a fine-looking
man.
Official reports of the mining indus
try in Indiana show that the coal out
put in that state exceeded that of the
year before by 1,742.202 tons, beins
an increase of more than 25 per cent.
What caused that coal famine?
In accordance with the Alaskan trea
ty with Great Britain for the settle
ment of the boundary line, the presi
dent has appointed Secretary Root,
and Senators Lodge and Turner as the
American arbitrators. It is a queer
sort of an arrangement, there being
three arbitrators on each side and no
umpire. It is safe to ray that there
will be no settlement by that com
mission, the object of which is to pro
long the controversy instead of mak
ing a settlement
That Seventh National bank scan
dal in New York was settled last week
bv fining the president. William H.
Kimball, $5,000 and letting all the
re.t go free. The judge remarked:
"The cases of overcertification of
checks in the city of New York on
any business day have teen abundant.

Personal to Subscribers!
An Experiment
Is sometimes a cost'y experience, both for the experimenter and the per
son, animal, or object experimented upon. Some experiments are necessary
for the advancement of civilization; and although frequently lives are lost
and much damage done, the ultimate results and benefits are the cause of
much good to humanity. . Others result in loss of life from no apparent cause
other than the obstinacy of the experimenter, who will not heed the advice
of friends, and refuses to see that hi experiment is impossible or imprac
ticable for the results aimed at or intended.
As all experiments are dangerous, so it is a dangerous thing to experiment
with worthless patent medicines and nostrums of the kind that spring up in
the night, "and none knew from whence they came" or what their origin.
It is seeking after an impossible result to look for health in a bottle of alcohof and
sarsaparilla, or a package of senna and strawi and such experiments are often dis
astrous to the experimenter.
- VitaOre, Nature's Remedy, is not an experiment, and the sick and suffering
person who seeks its aid is not experimenting. It has stood the test of the American
public, a critical judge, for a generation of time, and is growing in popularity and sell
ing more rapidly from year to year, and has fully substantiated our claim to being the
best thing in, on, or out of the earth for afflicted people. Beware of experiments in
medicine and when you need a remedy let the experience of. others be your guide.
ViLe Ore will not fail you. It is Nature's Specific for all ailments.

drunk fresh at the springs. It is a geological discovery, to which there is nothing added or taken from. It is the
marvel of the century fo curing such diseases as Rheumatism, Bright' Disease, Blood Poisoning; Heart Trouble, Dropsy.
Ca'arrhand Throat Affections, Liver, Kidney, and Bladder Ailments, Stomach and Female Disorders, La Grippe, Malarial Fever Ner
vous Prostration, and General Debility, as thousands testify, and as no one, answering this, writing for a package' will
deny after using. Vitae-Ore has cured more chronic, obstinate, pronounced incurable cases than any other known

benefit. Can anything be more fair? What 'sensible person, no matter how prejudiced he or she may be, who de
sires a cure and is willing to pay for it, would hesitate to try Vitae-Ore on this liberal offer? One package is usually
sufficient to cure ordinary cases; two or three for chronic, obstinate cases. We mean just what we say in the above
announcement, and will do just as we agree. Write today for a package at our risk and expense, giving your age
and ailments, and mention this paper, so we may know you are entitled to this liberal offer.

a bank wrecked by it. What losses
result this court has no opportunity
of learning. But the practice is vic
ious in the eyes of the law. It is dan
gerous for the bank certifying and
those receiving these checks." At the
time this bank was closed, The Inde
pendent remarked tnat the overcerti
fication of checks by New York banks
was common and that the clearing
house ring paid no more attention to
the banking law than the trusts did to
the Sherman anti-trust act, whereupon
a Lincoln banker got very wrathy at
the editor. That said banker will
now be confronted with the word3 of
this judge and asked: "Who lied?"
The protocols agreed upon between
Mr. Bowen, representing Venezuela,
and the European governments have
all been signed and the blockade
raised. So "the incident is closed."
Not Quits
The (populist) leaders are dis
couraged and the majority of the
voters feel as we do about it.
That is they are Bryan democrats
and . think it is time to declare.
Each one is asked to do as he
pleases which he will do any way.
The populists of Colorado have
fused with the republicans and in
the other western states will not
hold conventions in the future.
They have, disbanded in the east,
and are with the republicans in
the south. The Teller will stick
to Bryan democracy. York Teller.
Yes, the populist leaders are dis
couraged in a certain sense. After
democratic and populist state officers
gave the best administration the state
ever had, it is a bit discouraging to
have the taxpayers who benefited by
it show so much apathy. Nebraska
populists, with some exceptions, as tn
Mr. Frank's case, are not content to
be Bryan democrats unless the Bry
an democrats progress on the ques
tions of money and transportation.
Fre6 silver at 16 to 1, and government
control of the railroads will not sat
isfy the populist who believes in full
legal tender paper money and public
ownership of railroads.
While most men will take half a
loaf in preference to no bread, yet in
asking for bread it is best to demand
all you want.
The populi3ts of Colorado were
shamefully treated by the democrats
there and very properly administered
a rebuke that ought to teach the dem
ocrats a lesson.
No, the populists of Nebraska are
not content to be Bryan democrats,
although they have more real ad
miration for Bryan than most of his
own party followers. There will be no
disbanding of the populist organiza
tionand if there should be, the so
cialists would get more of the pop
ulist, votes than would the Bryan dem
ocracy. The Biggest Alfalfa Bargain Yet

Look Out tor Fraud
The following communication from
Postmaster Size is self-explanatory:
To the Public: Throughout tho
west for some time past there has
been in operation a system of raising
and cashing money orders. Parties
purchasing money orders drawn on
other postoffices for small amounts,
generally a few cents,, raise them to
sums usually from $20 to $35. Going
to the city upon which these orders
are drawn, they generally present
them to .merchants in payment of
small purchases made, and receive the
change, merchants, as a rule, accept
ing a money order without identifica
tion. Merchants and the community
generally are warned against accept
ing money orders in any, considerable
sum without a thorough knowledge of
the party presenting same without
first telephoning this office to see if
the amounts correspond with the ad
vice on hand.
