The booklet on Nebraska just issued
by the passenger department of the
Burlington from the pen of Dr W 11
Steele of Hastings is one of the most
comprehensive and to-the-point items of
information concerning the state recently
issued by the company It is replete
with fair facts and handsomely illustrated
with characteristic scenes and familiar
objects over the state Write J Francis
Omaha Nebraska for a copy
The too early dates of the Republican
convention this year make it doubly
important that Republicans avoid fac
tionalisms and party strife and unice in
the nomination of able and unexception
able candidates It will not do to de
pend too securely on tho evident disor
ganized condition of the opposition It
will be well to be on guard against over
confidence especially if it shall prove
true that W J Bryan will be the can
didate of the allies for governor a possi
bility now suggested from various quar
ters
Governor Savage has been besieged
by newspapers and individuals for some
time in behalf of Rhea the brutal mur
derer and robber of the helpless Zahn
The facts in the case are that Rhea
murdered Zahn kicked and robbed the
dying man in his brutality Zahn was
shot down while holding both hands
heavenward at the command of Rhea
There seems to be no reason for execu
tive clemency other than that Rhea was
drunk He seems to have been just
drunk enough to have been an inhuman
brute Having brutally and in a cow
ardly manner robbed a man of life why
all this lachrymose demonstration when
the forfeit is demanded by the law
Some of the appeals upon the governor
have been most cowardly and but em
phasize the fact that the state should
have a pardon board and the public
sympathy Dlea bo thus obviated Con
trary to the claim of the York Times it
is not revenge the people want but
rather the enforcement of just laws for
the protection of life and property It
is a distinctly impersonal matter The
Times concludes a two stick sympathy
appeal which would be ludicrous if tho
subject was less solemn by stating that
When God wants him Rhea he will
call him and will not ask you the gov
ernor nor Warden Davis to help get
him which forces us to the conclusion
that Tim Sedgwicks tender heart is
only exceeded by a most abominably
atrocious system of theology An All-
Wise Cod would have called Rhea be
fore he murdered an innocent and inof
fensive fellow citizen

Easter Day
Easter eve was gloomy and threaten
ing After nightfall rain set in At
first tho drops fell slowly quietly then
faster By midnight they were descend
ing in a steady downpour sounding on
the shingles dripping from the eves
splashing against windows The skj
was black The stars and moon were
hidden by clouds The street lamps
shining dimly through the mist rayed
yellow paths across the wet pavements
and were reflected in tho pools that
formed in the hollows of the road
The wind rose to a gale during the
night When morning dawned gray
tho wind still blew gustily Over tho
world a blanket of snow had been
thrown roofs walks lawns pavements
roads the trunks of trees the windward
side of buildings all the ugliness of
tlio night before was covered from sight
Nature had clothed even the trees in
mantles of white every black leafless
limb to the tiniest twig bending be
neath its burden
The sweet peace of the early morning
was broken by the warring elements
Tho street full of houses was sleeping
No sound came from tho railroad none
from the clanging cable trains The
wind drowned the discord of human in
dustry Above the winds crescendo no
man made noise could carry The milk
wagons on their morning rounds moved
soundlessly The snow aided the wind
in the effort to silence the world of men
A bobbing mail cart trundled by and
occasional carriages rolled over the
smooth way Feathery flakes driven by
the furious blast slanted earthwards
but seemed never to alight The wind
whistled around corners roared down
chimneys shrieked through the tree
tops rose and fell in rythmical cadences
a symphony piped by natures orchestra
The trees with their added weight swayed
stillly in the breeze sending showers of
ice clashing to the ground
At six oclock the chiming church
bells summoned the faithful to worship
Suddenly the streets swarmed with hur
rying throngs Doors opened and the
houses gave up their occupants An
endless parade moved by to tho first
mass The Hakes fell more slowly and
finally ceased to fall The snow became
as if pock marked The sun burst
through the barriers and dispelled the
mists The wisps of cloud that filled
the heavens wore sent scudding eastward
by the wind The waters of the lake
were tossed into foam capped waves
The trees shed their garments of snow
and stood chastely naked Cascades
tumbled from every roof and ledge
The world was gloriouslv radiant The
snow tramped and trodden melted
revealing the gray pavement the muddy
street The gutters ran with water
Tho green lawns began to show The
wind sent a wealth of sparkling drops to
ground The sparrows fluttered and
chattered over their breakfasts The
bells infected with the spirit of the
splendid day pealed forth in joyous
harmony
But the real significance of Easter is
forgotten its sacredness is profaned
Easter has come to be the ono day of all
the year when the world of fashion
arrays itself in new and gorgeous rai
ment in shimmering silks in old laces
in fairy hats in hues borrowed from the
rainbow and goes forth to be looked
upon and admired The gay crowd
gives no heed to the deeply solemn mean
ing of the festival cares not for the
Christ that it professes to believe died
for its salvation has no comprehenson
of the Resurrection
Given wings to soar man is yet con
tent to crawl given eyes to see the stars
he looks not beyond the horizon that
encompasses him Even in the city
surrounded as ho i3 by brick walls he
has the sky with its changing clouds
the sun by day the moon by night the
lake the grass but he has no appreci
ation no understanding of these marvels
Ho can see the blue heavens but he
prefers a bit of dyed fabric The sun
floods the earth with light but he likes
better the flickering gas lamp Nothing
is purer whiter than the clouds and the
snow but they have not the beauty for
him possessed by the artificial white of
cloth Tho world for him is confined by
narrow boundaries He occupies him
self not with the forces of the universe
not even with the beauties of the earth
upon which ho lives but with the little
atfairs of his own existence To go
walking on Easter morning in a prettier
gown than any worn by ner sisters is
an event that to a woman transcends in
import the clashing of spheres For
her tho universe is the narrow circle
of her physical being And for what
purpose does this annual parade take
place Not for tho glory of God not
from joy because Christ rose from the
dead on one Easter morning not even
out of thanksgiving for this splendid
morning but solely to gratify vanity to
satisfy a mean ambition
Tho sun shone only until the pageant
had passed Then clouds like dere
licts at sea came floating up and piled
in dense banks in the west During tho
day a few flakes flow and the sun sank
below the horizon a crimson globe upon
a scene of little cheer

Use of Telephone Increasing-
The Burlington railroad according to
a Chicago paper is making an effort to
supplant the telegraph with the tele
phone wherever possible Much of tlio
commercial Diismess or a ranroau may
no expedited oy tno use or trie phone
On tho Q it is said wires will bo strung
connecting the principal division points
Tho Chicago Chronicle says As a
nucleus for its coming interurban tele
phono system the Burlington already
has many extensive exchanges in opera
tion in the various towns along its line
and when these are connected as they
will be soon the most extensive tele
phone system in tho world will be in
operation An idea of tho inroads that
the phone has made is gathered from
the following statement of tho present
Burlington exchanges which are in oper
ation Chicago 71 lines connecting 135
stations St Louis 27 lines connecting
50 stations Kansas City 13 lines con
necting 11 stations Omaha 23 lines
connecting 21 stations Rock Inland 8
lines connecting 8 stations
New exchanges will be constructed
at tho following points Aurora 25
lines 51 stations Hannibal 30 lines 31
stations St Joseph 60 lines 80 stations
Lincoln 28 lines 48 stations llavelock
8 lines 8 stations
Copper wires aro being strung be
tween Chicago and Aurora to connect
the exchanges at these points and an
other wire will bo strung between Lincoln
and llavelock It is tho purpose later
to connect all the exchanges in the same
way as the Chicago Aurora boards In
the latter exchange a branch exchange
switchboard will be placed in the ollice
of tno master mechanic and connected
with fifty four stations located at differ
ent points of the shopsand yards From
this it is seen that the oflico of the Burl
ington system will soon have a network
of wires that will bring them all into the
closest communication
It has been rumored here for some
time that the Burlington contemplated
enlarging its local plant and several
months ago the statement was printed
that an intermural system was projected
for the Burlington depot building in this
city Lincoln Journal
