are the boundaries of the world, or if
there is anything outside - of those
boundaries, it is not worth consider
ing. - , : . .
Our courts are farces in more ways
than one. The trial of the "boy ban
dits' of Chicago after each one of
them had confessed to one or more
murders, cost the city $C0,000, and
there is one more of them to try yet.
. The war news this week has been as
follows: The Japanese e have taken
Port Arthur. The Japanese have not
taken Port Arthur. There was a fight
on the river Yalu and the Russians
captured 1,800 Japanese. There was
no fight' on the Yalu river at all. The
guns on the sunken Russian battle
ships Reizvizan and Czarovitch have
been taken off and mounted on the
shore batteries. No guns have been
removed from the Reizvizan and Czar
ovitch. The Russian gunboat Skori
was sunk by a floating mine daear the
mouth of the harbor off Port Arthur
left there by the Japanese. The Skon
was not sunk and all on board are
well. No damage was done to Port
Arthur by the frequent . naval bom
. bardments. Port Arthur was set on
fire, several of the '.. land forts' we-e
blown up, 365 personsjvere killed and
several Russian officers committed sui
cide after enduring the stress of tbe
awrui conditions for several days,
'i here was a naval fight off Dalney.
,There .was no naval fight off Dalney.
The sound of guns was caused by tar
get practice by the Japanese. The
latest news is to the effect that the
whole Japanese fleet has been bom
barding Port -Arthur again and no
I contradiction of the statement has
been sent. The above is a full suin
mary of all the news of the Asiatic
war received during the week.
, Cortelyou, he of the many car
riages, servants in livery and gold
mounted harness, is going to investi-
gate the meat trust. He says there
will be no public examination of wit
nesses and that he scorns to stoop to
detective work. The meat trust will
continue to grow fat under such in
vestigators as Cortelyou. ;
A distinguished citizen of Indiana
who has failed for three or four weeks
- to get his Independent (it was mailed
all ; right from this office) writes
' There is no way that I can find out
anything here and I am very anxious
to hear. I have heard very little
ahonr. what
little or nothing is published in the
daily papers." That eentleman is in
.the same state of ignorance of tens of
mousanas of populists all over the
country who do not get The Indepen
dent. An earnest and most persistent
effort should be made to get informa
tion of the great populist movement
into the hands of the people.
To get some of those fellows down
in New York to "think" a little, sup
pose some one down there asks them
which is the heavier: a pound of lead
or a pound of feathers. Then after
they have come to a conclusion on
that point, ask them which is worth
the more, a dollars' worth of gold or
a dollar's worth of potatoes, if they
can conquer such problems as that
then they might be asked how do we
arrive at the value of 23 8-10 grains of
gold, 9-10 fine?

Our Illustration Is from tl
, importing establishment of
the only man that ships Stal
lions by Special Train load;
from a man that sells more
feStallions individually than
any other live importers in
America; from an importer ef
Stallions that leads and others
follow; a business man that
does business on business
principles. He. believes in
giving the buyers the middle
men's profits, all commission,
and pays no high priced
"Con" salesmen for "slick"
work. He handles only first
class horses of real merit and
Gilt Edee breeding of the
largest size, big bone, and
best quality. Such is Frank

lams gopla (44936) Black
Frchron 4 Years Old
wt 2310 lbs
A smooth, thick stallion of
even proportions, an extra
ordinary individual of hue
merit, of flne lonn; a Bullion
of line finish, a "Hensational"
mover; in fact, a real Kansas
cyclone in motion.- lie is a
real drafter In every sense of
tbe word. One of those
"wide-as-awngon" sort; a
real "Low Down Dutchman, "
with two good , ends and a
middle; with everything that
goes to make a flrst-class
drafter. - He Is only a fair
sample of 100 Stallions now
in lams barns, reserved Jor
spring trade. He is making
a horse show every day that
is worth going 100 miles to
see. He is selling these "black
Diamonds" at 60c on the dol
lar, compared to those" that
are beintf sold to Stock Com
panles. He guarantees to sell
you a much better stallion for
SI, 000 and $1,500 than are sold
to these Stock Companies
for 12.500 to 5,000. Every
one of these Stallions
must positively be sold" by
June 1st. He has barns full
of big bargains. If you will
visit lams and inspect his
horses, you will see that he
is a hot advertiser but that
his horses , are much better
than he advertises and better
than the pictures in his tffcat
catalog, and that half of the
good things regarding lams
and his horses, have not been
told, and if you can pay cash
orpivea bankable note, you
Will sure do business before
you leave-him. A visit to bis
place will show you more
flrst-elass Stallions than are
owned by any one man in
America. It will show you
his mode and manuer of feed- .
lng, breeding and taking
care of his horses and is one
of the best educators to any
man in tbe stock business,
, ior a little money that you
could Invest. Visit lams the
horse man, or it you cannot
write for the greatest horse
catalog in America.

Dr. William G. Anderson, director
of the gymnasium at Yale university,
seems to be verging very close upon

Congress, on account of the pluto
crats, did not dare to pass a service
pension bin, so the administration
had the commissioner of pensions
make a ruling that all veterans over
C2 years ef age shall receive a pen
sion varying from $(i to $12 a month.
The republican majority in congress
Is about ns cowardly and sneaking a
tdy of men as ever got together.
They have had service pension bilis

dared to pass one bemuse ihe eastern

Tti'i nathni U rapidly opt r.a. bins
ous rule of Theodore Roosevelt. In
the Panama affair, he assumed what
Charles Sumner denounced in Grant
as the "kingly prerogative." In .this
affair of service pensions he assumes
to do," through an order to his clerks,
what has heretofore been done only
through legislation by congress and
which congress alone has the author
ity to do. Mr. Roosevelt waits to be
elected president in November. Ordi
narily, a new congress would be elect
ed at the same time. But what is the
use of congress? Roosevelt can do it
all. Boston Post.
Furnas Co., Neb.
Old Guard Jonathan Higgius, of
Furnas county, Neb., in sending in his
renewal to The Independent, says he
has been afflicted with rheumatism
for some time. Commenting on the
situation out his way, Mr. Iliggins
says:
"In the way of papers the republi
cans have it all their own way out
here, outside of the scope of The In
dependent. This has wrought a change
in more ways than one. Many of our
people are becoming heedless, not tak
ing the interest they did a few years
ago.
Iicpub.it an papers are becoming
much more bold and defiant than when
v had a pros, to answer them. With
out a press it does not now api-car
possible not even for a Dietrich to
save this section, once a popuiwt
stronghold.
"While I rrad every line of The In
dependent, I enjoy most the 'old war
horse" rorrcrpotidenca Trom the isles
of Hades." (This was written while

the tintMuan jer under the ttrmu 1 think the lut are emr.urastns
the socialist movement. They hope
in that way they may destroy the
people's party an organization they
have always feared.
The socialists are well meaning, but
they do not stop to consider that their
platform is no stronger than its weak
est plank. They would have us wait
for government ownership of rail
ways, telegraphs, telephones, the coal
and oil fields and all of thc.-e things
which are agreed by all reformers lo
be public utilities, until we have con
verted the majority of the people that
the other socialist . demands are rea
sonable. For Instance, that the land
shall be held In common. A eentuty
heniM that deratnd may sound reason
able; but today, and during thla gen

siderable portion of the voters of the
country for that proposition.

read the article entitled "populism"
to half a d.r-.en with all the gusto and
