Perhaps tho most astonishing noto of
the senatorial campaign is that just re
cently sounded by Charles J Greene
tho Burlington attorney of Omaha in
declaring Edward Kosewater of the
Bee the logical candidate for the office
of U S senator While tho great com
mon people will look askance at this
pronouncement from such a remarkable
source its significance cannot bo over
looked and gives added importance to
tho fact that Edward Rosewater is a
sure enough candidate and will have to
bo reckoned with
One has but to follow tho investiga
tions of the Inter state Commerce com
mission through tho different states to
be compelled to the conclusion that tho
railroads and other great corporations
and trusts of the United States must
come soon under federal control of an
adequate and effectivo nature It is
quite beyond believe the extent to
which tho corporations have gone in
corrupting the people in tho uso of re
bates passes special favors of various
sorts Graft and special favors and free
transportation have become a curse of
mammoth and menacing proportions
enabling the favored and powerful the
unscrupulous and conscienceless to
thrive and prosper prodigiously where
honest honorable square dealing men
of merit and ability lo t out absolute
ly because of there inability to complete
with the graft and rebato robbers Fed
eral control has come to be an urgent
necessity in tho face of such facts It
is no longer a question of expediency

THE ZULU UPRISING
THE SPIRIT OF UNREST AMONG AFRI
CAN NATIVES AND ITS CAUSES
The Bravery and Dixclpline of Iho
DarU Skinned Warrior Who Gave
the UritiMh So Jtlnch Trouble Twenty-live
Year Abo Chief Clmlio
The uprising of the Zulus under
Chief Bambaata against the English
has directed attention once more to
South Africa which has so often in
the past half century been the theater
of war or tho scene of more or less
bloody conflicts between natives and
European settlers The Zulu uprising
Is not the only disaffection which ex
ists In the dark continent indicative
of unrest on the part of the natives
and a disposition to resist the Invasion
by Europeans and the rule of the for
eigner In French Nigeria a new mah
dl has appeared at the head of a cloud
of religious fanatics and the French
have suffered defeat at his hands
There has been trouble in northern
Nigeria too -where a company of
A ZULU WABRIOR
lsh soldiers was overwhelmed In
German West Africa there has been
disaffection and it is believed by many
that wars are on the point of breaking
out in Ashantl and Belgian Kongo
Strangely enough the discontent
among the colored races in various
sections of Africa is by some ascribed
in part to the work of American ne
gro missionaries who in spreading the
Christian religion among their dark
kinsmen have told them of the free
dom and opportunities for advance
ment possessed by members of their
race in America and have thus awak
ened a spirit of independence among
the African natives who are subject to
the rule of Europeans Many of these
missionaries have encouraged educa
tion and helped push the dark skinned
Africans along on the pathway of in
tellectual and industrial progress and
in some parts of South Africa the na
tives have attained quite a degree of
civilization and realize something about
what freedom In a large sense means
In others where the tribes are still
wild and ignorant their chief Idea of
freedom is extermination of their white
rulers
The Zulus are the strongest and
bravest of the Kaffir inhabitants of
South Africa Under their powerful
Chief Chaka who organized his war-

riors into regiments after the European
fashion they reduced the smTOvling
tribes to subjection and it v I i
Cetewayo with whom the BrltK
had such a sharp conflict i
twenty six years ago The British t
quered but only after heavy losses
and the country of the Zulus was then
parceled out under several chieftains
under British rulership
The Zulus are of fine physique are
proud of the traditions and achieve
ments of their race and are expert
in wielding the battleax and the assa
gai a kind of spear They have also
learned how to shoot accurately In
the towns of Natal Zulu police officers
may be seen and they make a fine
looking body of men though their Eu
ropean helmets and uniforms do not
harmonize with their bare legs and feet
It was a stern discipline which pre
vailed among the Zulus under the re
nowned Chief Chaka After dividing
his warriors into regiments and estab
lishing rewards to encourage a com
petitive spirit among them he trained
them to advance and attack In solid
formation and developed the close
quarters attack with the assagai He
established an Inviolate law that any
soldier returning from battle without
assagai or shield or with a wound In
his back should be executed as a cow

TO TELEGRAPH FROM POLE
Haxirell J Smith Wireless Operator
of Wellmans Arctic Party
Walter Wellmans trip in search of
the north pole will be somewhat differ
ent from any hitherto undertaken In
the first place the polar explorers will
travel In the air Instead of upon tho
land or sea In the next place the air
ship will carry wireless telegraph ap
paratus and by means of this and
shore stations in tho far north it is
hoped that constant communication
may be maintained between the air
ship party and those watching eagerly
the progress of the arctic tour from
safe and comfortable latitudes In the
Inhabited part of tho world
If a message reading We have dis
covered the north pole or words to
that effect should come by wireless and
cable some fine day next August it
will be a young man named Maxwell
J Smith who will have the honor of
sending It He has secured the diffi
cult and dangerous post of wireless
operator of the expedition The party
on the Wellmau airship will be very
small and select and Smith will be
one of the most important members of
the expedition On him will devolve
MAXWELL J SMITH
the duty of telegraphing for aid if aid
Is needed as well as of announcing dis
coveries if fortune favors the object of
the expedition Mr Wellraan hopes by
keeping in touch with the inhabited
world by means of the wireless tele
graph to avoid dangers that many oth
er explorers have met For the suc
cess of this part of the scheme he
must rely on Mr Smith and the Amer
ican DeForest Wireless Telegraph
company which is to install the ap
paratus Station No 1 will be at
Hammerfest the farthest point north
reached by cable companies Station
No 2 will be on the ship Frithjof
which will He off Spitzbergen after
carrying the Wellman party there and
station No 3 in charge of Mr Smith
will be on tho airship itself
Mr Wellmans wireless expert is
twenty six years of age and is a na
tive of Cape Cod Mass After attend
ing school and college in St Pierre
Mlquelon he took up telegraphy and for
three years was an operator for the
Commercial Cable company After
ward he worked as an operator in
Central and South America He be
gan devoting himself to the wireless
system as soon as its discovery was
announced and for several years served
as operator for the New York nerald
on the Nantucket lightship Afterward
he installed wireless stations in Alaska
where he withstood temperatures as
low as 70 degrees below zero
He thus obtained an experience in an
arctic climate which will stand him in
good stead as a member of Wellmans
party in the search for the north pole
THE HIGHEST BRIDGE
It Will Span Arkansas River at u
Height of Nearly Half a Mile
The highest steel railway bridge in
the world will be that which will span
the famous Royal gorge at Florence
Colo Arrangements have recently
vlMl J jlUllTSjr1
PROPOSED BRIDGE AT ROTAIi GORGE
been completed for building over tKe
Arkansas river at this point a solid
steel suspension bridge stretching
across the gorge from the brinks of
the precipices on each side The height
of the bridge above the Arkansas river
will be 2400 feet or in other words it
will be very nearly half a mile high
The stream is narrow and will look
like a mere thread to a person stand
ing upon the structure and looking
down to the rushing waters far be
neath The length of the bridge will
be 000 feet and street cars will be run
over it
The view obtained from the bridge
will be one of the most remarkable to
be had In the United States The
Brooklyn bridge which is one of the
marvels of engineering is only 135 feet
above the East river
