The criminal part of the federal anti-trust law is evidently forgotten by the administration. A court martial in the Philipines has found that Major "Waller is not guilty when it is admitted that he murdered a number of helpless natives and the funding of the court martial has been disapproved. Our flag has been pulled down in Cuba and as yet riot a word of condem nation has been heard from the repub lican press. Who will pull down the flag was not long ago their favorite question and they always frothed at the mouth when asking it. John M. Thurston has just leturhed from Cuba , wheie he witnessed the in auguration of the new republic's first president , and is quoted as sayiug that in a few years Cuba will ask so be an nexed to the United States. After her experience with Keeley and Rathbone' ? The first rattle snake story of the season comes from Hickman , where a child was bitten on the foot without serious results. The American people were fond of accusing Spainof excessive cruelty , and yet the Americans have killed more people and burned more towns in the Philipines during the past three years than Spain did in three hundred years. After buying mules and other sup plies in this country in violation of the neutrality laws for a couple of years , John Bull has received a hunch from the administration and has quit for the present. There will be an election some of these days and the republicans have been gazing at the-handwriting on the wall. As a mathematician John Bull is a wonder. When the South African war began he asserted that the Boers could muster but 20.000 fighting men. Since then John claims to have killed 333,331 Boers , or about that number , and now admits that the Boers have more fight ing men than when the var began. Commoner.

There are several good democrats in Nebraska wlio have lived here as long as he has and have not put in all their time in seeking or hold ing office , and we would prefer to see some of them get the nomination.

The court was holding an evening session and had not proceeded very far with the business when they were astonished to see Eli McGreg or , one of the prisonersvlio had just drawn a two year sentence for horse stealing , and who was supposed to be securely locked in jail , walk into the court room and inform Sheriff Layport that Schwab er- ow had broken out and changed boarding plaues. After the escape McGregor made all kinds of a racket to attract the attention of some one , and , failing in this , he crawled out through the same hole that 3 J J O -3 Schwaberow had made his escape from and notified the authorities of the break. The crime for which Sciuvaberow convicted was the stealing o of a water tank and the punishment for grand larceny is imprison ment in the penitentiary not more than seven } 'ears nor less than one year and the severity of liU punishment was due to the fact that he was a tough character and had been sentenced to a five year term once before for stealing. The escape was made by breaking a lock on a window in the jail and sawing two of he bars through. It is evident that the bnwing hsd ; been done some 'ime a o , as rlic marks of the saw on the iron work is considerably rti&ted. The bars had been sawed and the cut concealed with chewing gum and it is evident that he intended to give the court an opportunity to turn him loose before turning himself loose. It is believed that he was assisted 03 * his bon-in-law , Jess Speck , and Ben. F. Piester. The whole gang live in the vicinity of Gregory and are a tough lot. Sheriff Layport kept the wi'-es hot last night and also - * had postal cards printed , which he sent to officers in all directions anct is of the opinion that he will have him back again in a short time. , , .
