fal O REIGN disorders on three conti
fljj nefnts caused apprehension. The
assassination of Dr. Mauchamp, a
Frenchman, at Morocco City, excited
resentment in France, and anti-German
feeling was provoked by reports
to the effect that the disturbance in
which the Frenchman lost his life was
deliberately brought on at the Instance
of Germany. Enough forces were sent
to Morocco to preserve order.
More serious disorders occurred in
Roumania, one of the Balkan states,
where a general uprising of peasants
against the land holders and the Jews
created wild disorder. In all parts of
the country pillaging and incendarism
prevailed. In some cases parties of
soldiers were overcome by mobs. Pre
mier Cantacuzent analyzed the trou
bles as follows: "The grave troubles
which have broken out in Roumania
do not result from any anti-Semitic
feeling. They are of a well-defined
agrarian character. The peasants are
devastating not only the houses and
farms of Jewish farmers, but also
those of the Roumanian landed pro
prietors. It is undeniable that these
sad occurrences are in part a result
of the agitation now prevalent in Rus
sia, especially in Bessarabia, which
borders on Roumania. The Rouman
ian government is taking energetic
measures to restore order and -it hopes
that bv active military internevtion
the rioting quickly will be suppressed.
Immediately thereafter the govern
ment will introduce measures for nec
essary agrarian reforms."
Tho war in Central America pro
ceeded actively. Tegucigalpa, the cap
ital of Honduras, was captured by the
Nicaraguan forces and the secretary
of the American legation at that place
reported: "Tegucigalpa was aband
oned early yesterday morning precip
itately. It was occupied last night by
Nicaraguans and Honduran revolu
tionary forces. The Bonilla govern
ment no longer exists." A provisional
government has been established at
Tegucigalpa in sympathy with Nicara
gua, but President Bonilla remains in
the field. It is feared that the success
of the Nicaraguans may lead them and
their Honduran allies to carry the war
into other Central American states.
The New York stock market showed
unrest following the panic of the week
before, but business throughout the
country remained undisturbed. Rail
road men still profess apprehension
at the railroad legislation of the
states. A committee of the Illinois
manufacturers' association called upon
the president to ask him to deliver an
address statin e his future policy with
regard to the railroads, in order that
doubt as to future developments
might be removed. According to the
statement Issued by the committee,
the committee submitted to the presi
dent that the present railroad financial
situation was creating a feeling of
timidity and apprehension to such an
extent that it threatened an immediate
curtailment of banking and business
credit, which had heretofore been ex
tended to the business interests of the
country at a time when the greatest
possible demand for the extension of
credit prevailed for the development
of the-increasing demands of the man
ufacturing and mercantile industries
of the country. It was urged, upon the
president that very great good would
come to all interests alike if he would
signifv his willingness to express in
a public address as soon as possible
the keynote of his creative and con
structive policy"
The railroads havfng lines -in Mis
souri and Arkansas have decided to
contest the two-cent fare laws passed
by the legislatures of those states this
year. Ex-President Cleveland said in
an interview:
"There is much of the nature of de
lirium, .in the popular outcry against
corporations. We shall all be ashamed
of it bye and bye. There is much 'that
is not groundless but wrong in the off
hand attack made on the railroads by
thoughtless people. We should reflect
that the railroads are virtually related
to our prosperity and that to attack
them needlessly is to attack ourselves.
It is not the stock of Bootless million
aires, but the property of citizens,
widows and children, whose earnings
ar Invented In railroad that are being
damaged. We should recall what rail
roads have been and are to be to the
development of our country and this
trato will pa. Of course there must
be some form of governmental super
vision but it should be planned In a
nulet hour. nt In one of anrry txrite
ment. Popular emotions follow peculiar
laws."

Congressmen returning from inspecting
the Panama canal operations have
unanimously expressed satisfaction
with the progress made. The spokes
man for one party of thirty-nine said:
"We were delighted with all we saw.
They are taking out from 30,000 to 31,
000 cubic yards of dirt a day, with, an
average of about 800,000 cubic yards a
month. There are now estimated 52,000,
000 cubic yards to dig out. so you can
work it out for yourself. There are 35,
000 men on the pay roll, of which 5,
000 are Americans. We did not see a
single Chinaman at work on the canal.
We found the feeling was against their
employment. The only ground of com
plaint we found was that possibly the
food was not all that might be desired.
This Is, of course, accounted for by the
great heatrThere were only about 200
men in the hospital while we were
there and the general health seemed
good."
Indictments continuue to be made in
large numbers against alleged San
Francisco corruptionists. A. K. etwH
er, a prominent capitalist of Toledo,
Ohio, and Louis Glass, formerly an of
ficial of the Pacific States Telephone
and Telegraph company were among
the indicted, on the charge of brioery.
Over a hundred indictments have been
returned. ,
A strike of trainmen on all western
railroads has been threatened owing
to the inability of the labor organiza
tions and the railroads to agree on a
scale of hours and wages. At the end
of the week the matter was in dead
lock, with the interstate commerce
commission and the department of
commerce and labor preparing to inter
vene in the hope of inducing a peaceful
settlement. The commission will act
under the terms of a new law which
instructs them, in such emergencies as
this "to put yourself in communica
tion with the parties to said contro
versy in order that there may be an
amicable settlement of the same, and
that if such effort should be unsuc
cessful, it is further requested that you
proceede to endeavor to bring about an
arbitration in accordance with the pro
visions of said act."
Arizona, Texas and Montana have all
passed laws this- year prohibiting
gambling. The world's laws are grow

After twelve weeks of balloting the
vote on senator in the Rhode Island
legislature stands just as it did at the
beginning. That spectacle tends io
show Nebraskans how fortunate
they are. VThe nomination of senators
by direct vote is now an accomplished
fact in Nebraska, and ordinarily that
amounts to the same thing as election
by direct vote.
"Great Britain, particularly the lib
eral party, i3 stirred by the discovery
that the London & Northwestern Rail
way company contributed to the cam
paign fund of the moderate party in
the late London elections. If British
corporations are to prove such apt pu
pils as this indicates it may be neces
sary for Great Britain to enforce a
censorship on American political news.
The startling way in which Ameri
can cities are exploited by transporta
tion companies finds illustration in the
declaration of a stork dividend of $2,
f'OO.000 by the Atlanta street railroad
which already had a capital of $6,000,
000. The objection to this sort of thing
in street railways is the same as in
caso of steam railroads. The object Is
of course to sell the stock to "Innocent
investors" and thus Justify a high rate
for service until the day of judgment.
Judge Jones of the Alabama fed
eral court has issued temporary In
junctions suspending the two and a
half cent passenger fare and the law
reducing freight rates passed a short
time ago by the Alabama legislature.
This is done for the purpose of ascer
taining In advance whether the lower
rates are high enough to warrant
compelling the roads to give them a
trial. There Is no ground here for
complaints by the railroads of con
fiscation by the states.
Thirty-six thousand paplls of the
New York schools, six per cent of the
total number enrolled, are found upon
examination, to suffer from one or an
other form of defective eye sight.
Whether the city should see to it at Its
own expense if necessary, that the
proper remedies be applied, or should
depend rather upon the uncertain at
tention of the children's parents, Is as
yet an unsettled question. The one

not be permitted to continue under
their handicap.

during the tvJln. The tuiki shop
will be outlawed generally in a few
years. Just as gambling has been
driven out from state after state un
til comparatively few places are left
where the game may be prosecuted
openly. In some respects the crooked
bucket shop game is a meaner and
more inridious form of gambling than
cards or the roulette wheel. It has been
exposed In recent years in all Its ini
quity, and it is surprising that more
laws like Senator Epperson's have not
been placed on the statute books of the
different states.
Mr. Harriman has never figured as
an expert in boomerang throwing, but
his success in getting bowled over by
the missiles he hurls at the president
entitles him to a high rank in that ac
complishment. This latest attempt to
discredit Roosevelt leaves the railroad
magnate in a pitiable condition before
the country. His boast that he could
"buy Hearst," and "buy congress,"
and even "buy the judiciary" reveals
him in a lightning flash as a danger
ous man to be in his present position
of power and responsibility.
City ownership of expensive public
utility plants is turned into an argu
ment for wide awake citizenship by the
Seward Independent. Seward people
are advised to drop all foolishness and
elect "their best and most competent
men" at the city elections because they
cannot afford to do otherwise "with an
electric light and waterworks system
worth at least $50,000 to bo managed
by the city authorities, with a sewer
age system just being installed, and
with such other improvements as a city
hall and the pavement of the streets to
come up."
"I don't look for any disturbance of
the two-cent fare by the railroads,"
says an attorney on the outside edges
of the corporation camp. "It would
make too much of a row. If the com
panies bought control of politics be
fore by carrying a part of the people
free, why can't they buy the good will
of the entire public by giving them a'
passenger rate that at least covers the
cost of the service. The roads could
almost afford to carry alb tho people
free- in fact, if by doing that they
could secure immunity for their freight
pchcdules."
Governor Stuart of Pennsylvania has
issued a proclamation naming April 5
and 19 as Arbor days this year. Two
days are named for the reason that
southern Pennsylvania differs in cli
mate from northern Pennsylvania to
such an extent as to make a general
tree planting day inadvisable. Ne
braska differs ten days or two weeks
in the coming of spring south and
north, but has had a special reason
for holding to a single day, April 22,
that being the birthday of the Nebras
kan who receives credit for starting
the Arbor day movement. Owing to
N0X1MT TO ITS POYERS FOR EVIL
Contagious Blood Poison has brought more suffering, misery and huraila
Hon into the world than all other diseases combined ; there is hardly any
limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disorders,
wrecking the lives of those unfortunate enough to contract it and often being
transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of Buffering and shame.
So highly contagious is, the trouble that innocent persons may contract it
by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose
blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison
but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience
know by the little sore or ulcer, which usually makes its appearance first, of
the suffering which is to follow. It comes in the form of ulcerated mouth
and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands ia the groin,
falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and in severe cases the
finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous 6ystem is shat
tered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especi
ally is the treacherous nature of Contagious Blood Poison, shown when the
infected person endeavors to combat the poison with mercury and potash.
These minerals will drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles for
a while, and the victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When,
however, the treatment is left off he finds that the poison has only been driven
deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form
because these strong minerals have not only failed to remove the virus from
the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructive
action. S. S. S. is she only real and certain cure for Contagiou3 Blood Poi

Missouri and Arkansas will not ride
at two cent a mile without passing in
the courts the laws which they re
cently passed in their legislatures.
This is the official announcement of the
railroads Interested. Symptoms ap

cent fare laws soon to take effect
Even President Stickney of the Great
Western, who is usually at cross pur
poses with the rest of the railroad
managers, announces his Intention to
carry to the supreme court the ques
tion whether state regulations which
unduly reduce railroad incomes are not
to be regarded as an interference with
interstate commerce. It remains to be
proved, of course, that two-cent fares
"unduly reduce" railroad incomes.

WIKN the April sun's a-shlnln' hot an'
things is nice an' fresh.
When the willer's droppin' tossels an' the
blackbird's In the bresh.
An pa comes In fer noonin' an' the
floors is wet as souse,
Then It's "Iaws-a-massy on us! Your
ma's a-cleanln house!'
Then me an' Jim is sure to find rag
carpets in the sun
When we'd planned to go a-flflhln' fer the
suckers In the run;
But while pa takes hia noonin' an' the
hosses eats their snacks,
Us boys can beat them carpets while
we're restin' up our backs.
An then next day pa's certain sure te
have to go to town;
But he always leaves us orders, "Help
to put them carpets down."
An' at night, when he gets home again,
you'd think to hear him groan
About the hardship of it, that he'd done
tho job alone.
Poor ma! She has It awful hard, she'll
work until she drops,
An' pound her thumb nails half way oft,
an wet her feet with slops;
She'll get so hoarse that she can't speak,
an' sore at every bone;
But pa, he says If it was him he'd let
the house alone.
An' when that night the kids Is sick an
has to have a drink,
An' ma she can't get up because her
hack's in such a kink,
If pa should bang tho furniture whilst
gropin' fer the cup,
You can feel him gettln' mad enough to
fairly eat her up.
So me an' Jim was sayln' If the time
should ever come
When pa an' ma should change their
work an' pa Hhould stay to hum,
I wouldn't like to be a boy, but jest a

To hear what things pa would say If he
