who is a leading law 'er in the
Nebraska mctorpolis , 1S a veteran
of the Civil War , although no
one would suspect it from his I
youthful appearance. He went I

when he was a little past fourteen -

Former : : ; < mater John 1\ [ ,
'fhurston , of Nebraslm , appeared
before the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia this week
to protest against the proposed
bill to regulate the usury evil.
He dechrcd it dangerous.
t t
Secretary Wilson , on the occasion -
casion of visit to the Whitc
House this wcek , declared that
the crops in Nebraska and
throughout the entire middle
west are in excellent condition.
He is decidedly optimistic concerning -
cerning the future , and declares
that the chances for a bumper
'
crop of orn are very'Bright. . . . .
Even in the usually dry parts .ot.
the middle west there are reports
of plenty 'of moistur this year ;
and altogether the countr.v see1l1s
to be fairly launched on another
season of plenty.
t t.
1'herc are just 1,587 cieris in
the dilTerent departments of 'the
governmenf more than 65 years
old , and of this number 17L are
upwards of 75 years. 1"'he Civil
Service Commission has completed -
ed its census of the dilTerent departments -
partments , and within a few days
a report will be made to President -
dent Roosevelt regarding the
years and efficiency of these
clerks. : The oldest clerk in the
service is 91 years. 'r here i5 one
who is 90 ; three are 8 ( ) ; four 85 ,
five 84 ; six 83 ; twclve 82 ; fourteen
Sl ; eighteen SO ; fifteen 79 ;
twenty-five 78 ; twenty-three 77 ;
and fourty-four 75. Of the entire -

tions on account of their war
records.

The laurels of J. Adam Bede ,
as official humorist of the House ,
werc seriously shal n this week
\\then Hepresentath'e Cushman ,
of Washington , treated his col-
lcagues on the floor to an hour of
uproarous hilarity by picturing
his woes during the last pcmo-
cratic Administration. Even the
Democrats were forced to join in
the hiLtrity which the gpecch-
made in nnswcr to the encomiums -
iums which John Sharp William"
heaped on his part v-aroused.
It was indeed a ludicrous and
doleful picture he drew when he
said :
"My memory harks back to
the clays when the Democratic
party was in fu1l control. 'l'herc
is only one way that I can de8-
cribe lhc conditions that then
existed , times got just as bad as
they possibly could be , and remained -
mained that way for a long time ,
and then they got worse.
"It was a most fortunate air-
cumstan e for me that in those
I daJs of panic and starvation I
1- - -
lived in the City of 'fal < oma , on
the shore of the ocean , because
along the sea-shore there is al-
waYi ! an abundance of raw clams.
\ \ ' hcnevcr the tide is out the
table is set. And if Almighty
God had not madc that wise anel
beneficent provision I would never -
er have becn able to live through
that last Dcmocratic Administra-
tion.
, "And , Sir , , I pledge you 1IJ }
wonl that dUring the last adnl1n-
istration of Grover Cleveland I
cat clams , and cat clams , and eat
clams , till my stomach rose amI
fell in harmon\ " with the tides. "
In the lauglllcr which followed
somebo(1) ' had the temerit ' to
hint that possibly Mr. Wilhams
was not feeling quite so "Clam'
orous" as before Mr. , Cushman's
speech.
t t t
'A pretty row has been 1dckcd
up by the lack of tact shown by
the administration in permitting
Father Thomas Sherman , son of
the famous Civil War General , to
have an escorl of Fcderal Cavalry
in the trip he is making through
the South to collect data on his
father's famous march to the sea.
Perhaps there is no more cordially -
ly hated Union General. than
Sherman , because of th ruin
that markcd the trail of his
army. Such hatred is natural ,
"
"although General Sherman acted
o ly as the rules of war compel-
l d and none at heart more heartily -
ily hated warfare than he. But
for the United States Government -
ment to give a Ji'cderal escort to
the son of Gcncral Sl1erman was
somcthi'lg the South could not
understand amI there arouse a
I spontancous and concerted storm
. Gen'ral Du\'all
protest. ( \ ,
commanding the Department of i
I the Gulf , has been preremptorily ,
ordered to h'alt the escort and let
Father Sherman proceed nlone to
