HUHSCHIITION 1'KIUK : One Vc r , In advance fl.tti THURSDAY , APRIL 11 , 1U01. It is reported that Annelmo's vote on license was 30 to 0 , in favor of the open saloon. It would indi cate thnt there is no probability of tbo town going dry soon. Since Aguinaldo has been cap tured and tnkon the oath of alleg- iauoo to the United States , it will bo in order for Pettigrow and a few of his devoted followers in the United States to follow suit. The promotion of Fred Funston , to a brigadier general , as a rucogni- lion of his ability and courage as a soldier and commander , was the correct thing to uo , and will moot the general approval of the public. The crowning feat was in the capture - turo of Aguinaldo. While strata gem was used , courage was also an indisponsibla constituent of the sticoees of the daring exploit. The plan was his own , and the execu tion of it depended wholly upon his management. The service was of invaluable moment to the American Army , and the honor conferred up on him , with the otnoliimontB in cident thereto , wore worthily be stowed. Governor Dietrich outs down appropriations in the same whole sale manner as the alleged "re formers" increase thi'in. In deal ing with house roll No. 480 , beiim A measure providing for the pay. ment of the .salaiieu of offices of the state government , Governor Dietrich withheld his approval of the section providing $1,000 p r aunnm for a clerk to the court re porter and § 800 for a deputy libar- iau. In tUo-coiirH3 of his moHuago the governor says , "My approval is withhold from the foreign appro priations because the duties right fully devolve upon the clerk and if ho is unable to perform them ho should bo required to have the work performed without expense to the state. " Governor Dietrich may not bo a reformer in name , but ho is a reformer in. fact , which is much bettor Falls City Journal. Jas , t. Mo Williams , an old boldior. of the Union Army of the sixties , has a valuable relic oi the days of the civil war , of which ho is justly proud. It is a copy of the Union Volunteers , published at Louisville , Kentucky , July 10th , 1803 , by llankins & Walbridgo The front page has red and blue borders , and two largo flags adorn the page printed in rod , with the words Gettysburg and Vioks- burg above them. The paper gives a detailed account of the rebels evacuation of Gettys burg , and the surrender of Gen. Pomuerton of Vioksburg to Gen. Grant on July 4 , and the oommuni- cations between them loading up to the surrender. The paper is one of the regular editions , which Mr. MoWilliams received at the time as a subscriber. Ho values the paper very highly , and it in well that ho should , This spring is most favorable for tree planting. The opportun ity should bo improved by every land and lot owner in Custor county. Arbor day does not come until the 22 , but as this weather is very suitable no ono should wait for Arbor day. The town , espec- iully , would be very greatly im proved if ito streets , three blocks from the public square , were lined with thrifty trees. A popular sub- Hcnption could easily bo raised to purchase trees or to hire some one to go to the Loups and secure the necessary number to ornament the lots and blocks unoccupied , three blocks from the square on Maine , Broadway and Cedar streets and Third , Fourth and Fifth avenues. We would suggest to make the undertaking more certain of Bucoesa that the city authoritioa have ditohoH plowed along the line of streets where the trees are to bo planted a foot and a half deep , in which to plant the trncs which should bo left open for mulching purpoHos and for additional pur pose of convoying nioto of the rain fall to llio trees. If the city will have the dUohcH plowed out wn behove most of the residents will see to it that trees are planted on their respective lots or blookfl , HO there would be no expense to the city oxoopt securing the trees I H the plowing can be done with the city team , The Supreme CourtvommlnHlonerH. The Supreme Court has appointed the following Commissioners to servo for a term of two years , at a salary of $2,500 , a year : John II. Amos , Lincoln , gold democrat ; W. G. Hastings , Wilbor , dcuiooial ; I. L. Albert , Columbus , populist ; S. II. Sodgwick , York , republican ; E. U. Duille , Omaha , democrat ; J. S. Kukimtriok , Lincol.i , populist , George A. Day , Omaha , republican ; W. D. Olduam , Kearney , democrat ; lioscoo Pound , Lincoln , republican. No Steno graphers for the commissioners were named. J. S. Kirkpatriok was formerly a resident of Broken Bow , and pardner of Judge Holoomb , and is well and favorably known to a largo number of the people of Custnr county. Ho served several terms as county attorney of Custer county. Custor county has two representatives in the Supreme Court and will have the chief executive in a few days , if present plans ma terialize. Agitlimldo and Ills ChuniploiiH.

If ho is the man that the anti-iinppmlists have proclaimed him to bo , ho must keep his oath. Alasl for Snl/.or and Lentz and Pottigrow : alas ! for Bryan , too ; that they are placed in this em bairaesing position ! First they said the United States Army could never put down the Philippine in surrection. But it did. They said Aguinaldo would never give up. Butho has. It they now assert ho was influenced by the flesh pots of Manila , or mouoy , then they must have been sadly mistaken in dubb ing him "the George Washingtoi of the Philippines. " If they were right in that estimate of his intel ligence and his fitness for leadoi ship , then they must accept his belief that it is for the best that American authority shall bo accept ed. Aguinaldo is on the ground Uo knows what the United States rule is over there. Ho has in dorsed it by submission. It is certainly tough on the Pottigrowe , and slows what a hard game it ia to buck the United States , cither at home or abroad. ( J. Llllott , Supreme Sec retary of the M. II. A.

Sheldon when editing a daily paper in refusing to print Fraternal items , mggests his idea of what Christ would think of Fraternal work , but wo have a childlike faith , nevertheless , that He could not condemn the bonoti- ciont work that Fraternal men and women are doing. The people who compose those societies are the Haino 11 ; eh and blood with whom the Master mingled at the marri age feast and upon whom in His dying moments He looked with tenderness. The needs of humanity appeals to His great heart today. The little children whom His great heart loved , as ho said "of aiioh is the kingdom of heaven , " are the words of Fraternity. The mission of these pooiotics is to do good , following the example of the Good Samaritan who bound up his brother's wounds. Every time the clock strikes a good deed shines out from the Alter of Fraternity and only those who am in position to see can tell how far the little candle throws its beams. None see the fitness of it al quicker than the man and woman who havojoined hands and hearts for lifo and go forth to work out their future and fit a place to be their kingdom uud they to rule as king and queen over all they bo prospered in. Some ono , perhaps , is saying as ho ghnoes backward into the glorious past that love of country oxccodH our love for the homo Hut what would bo our country were it not for its happy homos' The uncivilized red man fought for h'lH happy hunting grounds they wore his home. George Washington , with his suffering soldiers , thought am fought for homo , and wo will al ways do him reverence. The boys of ' 01 responding to the call of Abiaham Lincoln wen forth in buhalf of liberty am country , that the homos of this fai land should forever after bu be und harm , mid thin in truth i- tin * and ol tlm freu Arid th home of ho brave. The boyh of ' 'J8 , with the name warm and liberty loving hearts , went forth determined to lift the land of tyranny from the nock of he ojpreHHed. Komomboring the Maine , they lid not forgot Cuba's freedom , vl.ich in turn would advance the ionics of that fair ink . Long will we cherish the matn- ory of the boys of ' 01 and ' 08 for heir noble sacrifice of liio and lealth , for today wo can say "God bloHH our homoB. " May it bo written in characters , which will not fade , upon all our loans. Have wo done and are wo doin ; our duty in providing for the uturo of these who have a right to ook to us for protection. Eaoh one should lay up treasures where moth and rust doth not corrupt. Thin must bo done each for him or herself. Earthly provission o.m and hould bo made for each other. The investment from $10 to $20 yearly in Fraternal insurance will ! o this * * * * Think of life's uncertainties. The wealthy ihan of today be- oomej the beggar of tomorrow , ask ug favors at the laboring man' * leer , because of rapidly ohangit ciruumstancos. The heat and passion in which HisinosH is conducted forbids proper - or time to consider and weigh the 'uturo of events. The brainy business men and the wealthy men stand side by suio with the prudent , honest toiler in approving of insurance and homo > rotootion. Wo may meet with business re verses. Sickness , death in its sudd enness , old ago if wo live , are thp every day scones of life. Amid these scones wo aim to jrovido for our homes by invest- iionts one way and another. Fraternal protection siys use a small part of our income and pro vide for the future and continue at the Huno time your pursuits nt the old Htaml. A Fraternal certificate with the Beneficiary named cannot be affect ed by changing conditions , it is the Hole property of the beneficiary. Wo are all ambitious and striving to so ptirth business that wo may ay aside for a rainy day. Do wo all succeed ? Fraternal benefit societies or similar institutions have existed 'or centuries , but in thin country they como with the locomotive , the telegraph and the telephone , which annihilated dintince and brought together the people of every sec tion. They came when the cannons ceased their belohings ; when the civil war was over. The fact that Fraternal societies are managed by its members being a representative body. The officers or managers are but servants if they look upon their positions in the true light. Statistics of 27 of the loading fraternals show a mombiTShip of 2,370,974 , representing benefits amounting to over $4,000,000,000 , which does not include the millions represented by the other smaller societies. In thin , the M. B. A. is given as ono of the 27 , and represented over $25,000,000 on December 31 , 1899. How can wo make oomparisonH that will help us to understand. It seems incredible and yet statistics before us show it. And fraternities stand ready , with willing hands , to lend com fort and aid to the homos of its members with this vast amount. There was actually paid out last year benefits amounting to over $40,000.000. Compare the life of euoh societies calling on its members tor money when funds are needed and thereby fiunibhing to their members pro tection at cost , with old line com. pnni'-H. How seldom we find a fraternal failure while statistics show 771 old line failures out of 822 com panies , after taking largo premiums from their policy holders. Look at the comparative figures , December 31 , 1899 : 27 loading old line , show insur ance in force , $5,807,000,000 ; 27 leading fraternals , show insurance in foroo , $4,050,601,590 ; old line written in 1809 , $1,807,504,498 ; fratofnals written in 1890 , . $730- 071,050 ; fraternals , per cent of ex pense , 11.3 ; old line , per cent 24 ; net gain , old line , $402,211,787 ; net gain , fratornuls , $549,309,700 ; expenses for 1890 , old line , * 58r 952,517 ; expenses for 1800 , fra- tornalH , $3,313,087. We are not much of R believer in insurance from an investment standpoint. O Wo say this having carried in surance , some of it old line , over since wo vrera old enough to do i o.
