ftifaft. By F. M. KIMMELL. OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPEfr Largest Circulation in Red Willow Co. Subscription , $1 a Year in Advance UI.HCTION returns , last weeic , were re ceived with great satisfaction by Repub licans in Washington , especially the gains in Nebraska ami Kansas. They are valuable straws as indicating the trend of sentiment in the far west , where the people seem to be content with a national policy that has resulted in uni versal prosperity. TiiK cardinal purposes of the shipping bill now before congress are to aid in keeping our foreign trade in our own hands , saving the vast amount of money now paid abroad for transportation ; to increase the exports of American goods ; to establish a great American fleet of merchant vessels ; and to increase the number of our citizens who will be edu cated in seafaring and be better able to defend our country on the seas should occasion require. CHICAGO business houses are putting a ban on cigarette smoking by employes by saying the habit is incompatible with efficient service. Absolute prohibition has been declared by three large firms , and one railroad , and others are expected to follow their initiative. It is claimed the nicotine is doing such physical in jury to the clerks and office boys as to cause a loss to the employers. By the prohibition already enforced 1,100 em ployes are affected. Of these , 80 per cent are boys under 18. DURING the war with Spain , for which our preparations were hurriedly made , the Democrats complained that our transport service was inferior , and their sympathy for the soldiers was per mitted to work overtime. But a few days ago a Democratic member of con gress from New York took the floor to complain that extravagance was being practiced in the construction and equip ment of our army transports. The Dem ocratic donkey doesn't stay hitched to one side of a question any great length of time. WITH all the clamor for free trade with Porto Rico , it should be remem bered that the United Kingdom has no absolute free trade with any of her col onies , all of which have different tariff laws to suit their different exigencies. Their products are no more admitted free into the United Kingdom than they are into the United States. With Cana da there are special trading concessions , supposed to be mutually beneficial , but in reality rather more in favor of Eng land than of the Dominion. WHKN the Hon. Joseph Weldon Bai ley , the former leader of the Democracy , first arrived in congress he insisted up on the sergeant-at-arms deducting from his salary for those days upon which he was absent. Now , this Democratic statesman who makes a specialty of the constitution and glories in being better than his colleagues , can go off on a cam paigning tour for a seat in the senate and draw his congressional salary with out doing his conscience the least bit of violence. The Hon. Joseph Weldon Bailey , as a reformer , is sadly lacking in staying powers. AT the close of business , March 31 , the national debt , less cash in the treas ury , amounted to $1,112,256,358. This was a decrease of $6,629,701 during the month. The reserve fund in gold coin and bullion amounted to $150,000,000. Government receipts in March were $48- 726,837 , and the expenditures , $32,188- 271. The surplus for March wasi6- , 538,566 , and for the nine months of the present fiscal 3'ear , ending with last month , the excess of revenue over ex penditure was $54,302,000. This indi cates a surplus of at least $70,000,000 for the year ending June 30 next. This question of surplus revenue has been attracting the attention of Secretary Gage , of the administration , and of Re publican congressional leaders. It is felt , however , that the session is too far advanced to justify any attempt being now made to disturb the existing war revenue taxes. WHEN Senator Thurston arrives home from Washington the indications are that Mr. Edward Rosewater and his little combine may receive a stirring up more or less disconcerting. The senator doubtless properly feels that he is en titled to a hand in the matter of select ing a delegate at large to the national convention ; and in that event his many friends over the state will take pleasure in seeing that an effort is made to secure proper recognition of his strong claims for that position. Few Nebraskans can so ably represent this commonwealth in the coming national convention as can Senator Thurston , and cut-and-dried combines seeking to exclude him from that honorable position will doubtless be aggressively nnd energetically combated. On general principles , combines are in imical to the best interests of the party , and for that further reason they should be earnestly discouraged by Republicans over the state.

THE SIGN OF THE ROTHSCHILD Founder of the Great House Lived in the Ghetto , Staying on a visit with Herr and Frau von Bismarck , iu 1852 , at the time he had succeeded Gen. von Rochow as Prussian envoy in Frank fort , I was walking one morning with my host , who had kindly undertaken to show me the Homer , as well as sontt of the other sights of the venerabfr free town , when suddenly we four- * ourselves in the precincts of the ot& Ghetto , says the Cornhill Magazine Pointing to a small , unpretentious- looking house , with a "red" shield ( Roth Schihl ) over the narrow en trance , Herr von Bismarck said "That's the cradle of millions , the house and shop of old Rothschild , the famous father of the not less famous Baron James the Parn , as Parisians liked to call him , on account of his pronounced German accent. "Well , th'e widow of the founder of the Rothr- child dynasty she was pointed out to me one day , reclining in a splendid barouche , with a pair of thoroughbrtitt steppers , which Lord Lyons might have envied her a shriveled up old lady , wearing the traditional wig of the old Jewess , with clever eyes ami firmly-set lips , denoting no want of character and determination well , the old lady , though inhabiting one ol their grand mansions in tne new part of town , " said Herr von Bismarck , "will not sleep outside the boundaries of the Ghetto , and every evening she returns to the modest little house in which her husband lived and toiled and died ; she says it will bring luck to her children and grandchildren and teach them not to forget the humble beginnings of the world-famed firm , and the time when its founder sold old clothes in the Ghetto.

It is strange , but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound ; it seems to start the digestive machinery going prop erly , so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food , which he could not do be fore , and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health ; if you have not got it you can get it by taking You will find it just as useful in summer as in winter , and if you arc thriving upon it don't stop because the weather is warm. 500. and ? r.oo , all druggists.

The other parts were equally well taken , the audience being kept in a continual roar of laughter Mrs. Darrah , George Darrah's wife , acted b ; Miss Kay , was done most solemnly and sym pathetically ; she at times held the audience in such stillness that a pin-drop could have been heard anywhere in the room.
