The beef trust is not showing any
signs of uneasiness over the action of
the government. 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.

his name whether he gets the nominat
ion or not. 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.

With a Five Year Sentence
* ' ;
ing Over Him '
Herman Schwaberow , whose trial on the charge of grand lar
ceny has just ended , broke jail early last evening and shook the dust
of Yalentine from his feet , The jury brought in a verdict of guilty
and just before supper the judge had given him a five year sentence.
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. , , . Schwab-
crow is described as being 41 years old. about G feet high , weighs
about 190 pounds. Dark complexion , black mustache , fierce black
eyes , black hair and swarthy skin. 850 rewaid is offered for his cap
