A Missouri mob indicated that it could nt least bo Impartial by hanging a white man as well as n negro. The white man probably did not seek the distlno- tion , nor nek to bo made an example of. Alaska isn't BO Blow when it comes to earthquakes and America doesn't pro pose to allow other countries to reap all the honors for BtronuotiB Kolsmlo dis turbances oven if it Is necessary to shako the tail cud of creation. Senator Oockroll would probably not have warned the democrats to observe Bilouco if ho had happened to think that Bilonco is goldou and no person nffillat- ing with a silver party should over bo advised to favor anything golden. The trouble with the country , viewed through democratic goggles , is that sur plus in the treasury when there should bo n deficit. A return to good demo cratic principles would soon correct the failing and they , if not the people , would bo happy. Now that King Edward has been crowned and has withstood the strain It is considered that the world will move along without any serious inter ruptions and the people will bo prepared to turn their attention to other and minor matters. The \Viusido Tribune , independent in politics , gives Mr. McCarthy credit for great judgment in the selection of his political manager. It said : "Judge Falos is just a llttlo slicker than any of thorn and will pull his mail through if it IB within the bounds of possibility to do it. " The legacy of an English woman of fering | 100 a year to the person who will adopt her pet dop , has brought in applications by the bushel. Almost any- ouo would keep a dog at that price. Many require no pay whatever ; not oven n good trait or item of worth on the part of the animal. A party of Springfield , Illinois , cap italists have decided that the match trust has too good a thing and have or ganized the Union Match company to furnish it with competition. If the now company will only make matches that will burn and not break when they are bolng lit it will find that there is n long- felt want for it to fill. A western Nebraska paper says that prospects are splendid for a crop of fall and winter apples in that section. A country that can raise apples can pro duce almost anything , and if that kind of reports continue to come from the western portion of the state based on fact there will be a considerable change in the opinions of people regarding that country. A college student of Atlantic City , N. J. , kicked a Russian count the other day before thousands of people on the street because he didn't like the count's style of dressing. The youth was arrested but his satisfaction nt having adminis tered a rebuke to n foreign nobleman for "putting it on" in this country will probably be sufficient in his American mind to repay for all the costs and in conveniences of an arrest. The autis should hold a meeting of praise and rejoicing. Their wards in the Philippines have just recently way laid a coaching party of four American school teachers and murdered them , twelve miles from Cebn. That is n way to get even with the cruel and blood-thirsty Americans that cannot fail to receive the approbation of the Boston crowd and they should vote them n gold medal apiece , at the very least. Poor old Russell Sage , 90 years of nge , etill works early and late nt his office aTthongh he didn't own a cent's worth of property. He only has a few million laid by and considers it his duty to no- cunin'nto a few more before he retires from active service. If he has any intention of dying poor as has An drew Carnegie , it is about time for him to be working in the other direction and getting rid of his money. The sugar trust has made another ad vance in the price of sugar. It must ac cumulate f nnda in some manner to fight the beet industry and fix the laws so that it can have Cuban raw sugar for Its refineries nt a reduced price. Thorn nro those who are willing to volunteer without cost to nnslst the trust , but it will tnko funds , nevertheless , to carry on the battle , which the trust hopCH to nettle - tlo dnring the coming sesfllon of con- The democrats who nro figuring on counting the lowu rcpublicnnH Into their pnrty bccnuBO of their recent dec- Inration in ntnto convention should not bo too hasty in counting the votes. The Iowa republicans may hnvo a peculiar way of saying and doing tilings in convention , but when it comes to voting ing it is safe to bet that they1 will rofnso to bo counted for anything but the re publican ticket. Caucuses of Norfolk republicans have been called for next Saturday evening to elect delegates to the county and pre cinct conventions. There should bo n good nttondnuoo and nttention given to the workof those primaries as there IB where a basis is formed for the work of the npproaohing campaign that should bo accomplished with care and wisdom. Republicans should turn out and sco to it that representative men of the party are ohosou to attend the conventions. It is rumored that Governor Snvago may bo given n federal appointment af ter the expiration of his term of olllco. In view of the regard in which Savage IB hold throughout the state , it is con sidered that a very grave mistake would bonmdobytho general government in nppoiutiug him to n position. The people hnvo olonrly given it out thnt they have had enough of Savage and they arc of the opinion that any office in the stnto or nntlon will hereafter bo too good for him. The amount of banking done last week nccordlug to Dun's Review was n record breaker , the heaviest business on record being done in the loading cities of the country. The exchanges for the week amounted to $2,009,000,000 , , n gain of 20 per cent over those of the corresponding week of last year and 118 per cent over the showing of 1890 , It is an indication that prosperity is not yet loosening its grip , in spite of the fact that a few years ago Mr. Bryan warned the people that it was but temporary. Already there are imitators of Tracy , the Washington outlaw , but they have speedily comoto grief ns have those who tried to follow in the footsteps of the noted kidnaper , Pat Crowe. Young mou with weak intellects nro qnito apt to aspire to the notoriety of some famous criminal but after n few of them have mot with fates not exactly in accord with the dime novel style the others are ready to give it up as a bad -job. The experience of either Crowe or Traoy are not such as to inspire emula tion ill the minds of boys with n modi cum of souse and rensoulng power. A woman advertised for a hnsbaud and got so many replies that she couldn't answer all her letters and couldn't begin to consider all her offers , snys an exchange. It all depends on what is offered and how the news of the offer is spread whether the returns will be Buftlcient to justify the expense put on the pushing and whether the results will payfor | the returns. Advertising is not an experiment , nor is it an art , nor is it a chance , nor is it a donation to a papor. It is a business proposition. It requires the thought of the business man and must have the care which would bo given any other business in vestment. The Chicago police ore anxious to find the loving BOU of Mrs. Annie Bartholiu , whose nude body was found in the collar of her homo where it had been carefully buried and the cement that had been disturbed artistically replaced , It is suspected that the kind hearted boy was not only the master hand at the burial but had something to do with her sudden death. The crime was dis covered by a party of newspaper men after the police had made a search. A young man who could have it in his heart to murder his mother must bo be low brute creatures , and in the name of parental affection it is to be hoped that such a crime cannot bo charged against young Bartholin. Perhaps some republicans may en deavor to Jfit themselves to an issue looking toward tnriff reform but they will be found pushing for n protective tariff if the reformers happen to win out. About eight years ngo there was tariff reform galore and no one demo crat or republican has dared to scarcely mention reform as nn issue since. The reformers adopted free coinage , nuti-imperinlism and any other oia inmg 10 Keep away irom tne issue and they have only recently found courage to return to the old question. It is safe to presume that the majority of the people have not yet forgotten the sad experience of Graver's term and will insist that the tariff reformers be kept at homo. The state of North Dakota , through its governor , has applied to the bureau of forestry of the deparmeut of agricul ture for assistance toward planting woodlots on the grounds of a number of state institutions and the proper officers of the department are now preparing plans for that work. It is expected that the grounds of the Btate capital at nismnrk , the noiiool for the denf at Dovll'n lake , the university at Grand ForltH , the normal school * at May&villu and Valley City and the manual training school nt Elloudalo will bo improved In this manner. The Improvement will bo a flno thing for the state , and the depart ment of agriculture will bo pleased to render what assistance it can in aid of the work. It Is a point that should not bo overlooked in Nebraska. Many of the Btato Institutions have generous grounds , portions of which might well bo devoted to forestry. Some economical sort of individual will BOOH bo discovering that the reducing of time required by the railroads in male- nig a trip across the continent should mean n corresponding reduction in fares. The man who formerly paid faro from Now York to San Francisco when the journey required n couple of woekB should bo nblo to figure out that because it is now made in n few days it is costing him considerable more , per day , to sit in n railway carriage. The question is respectfully referred to the populist state committee to bo made into an issue. Their campaign slogan might bo : Why should the common people bo charged moro per day to ride on a railway train than they were formerly ? Perhaps the railwny compnuics might ngroo to give transportation on n way freight , but thnt should bo no excuse for ohnrging so much moro per diem to sit in the varnished cnrs. There nro over three thousand million aires In this country. Which is spread ing the wealth out pretty well. In Eng land there nro hardly a quarter as many But in England the millionaires have all and the rest of the people have noth ing. Here there nro not only three thou sand millionaires but three million oth ers who are just as well off as though they wore millionaires. They have all the conveniences and comforts that money will buy in their locality and could not use a greater income if they had it. Then there nre nbont ten million moro who nro comfortable and happy as nnybody can be in this world , with plenty to oat nud wear , both for them selves and their families and no fore bodings for the future. They are just as well off as the ones who have the most money. This is a very opulent country , far moro BO thnn any of the fable lauds of oxhanstlesa wealth ever even painted. Such universal thrift and comfort wore never before dreamed of nor imagined. York Times. The labor unions of Omaha are lately discovering what sort of nn individual has been occupying the governor's chair for nearly two years past and they are not sounding his praises to the skies to any great extent. When it was con sidered probable thnt the governor would have the appointing of the police board of Omaha , his iuoxcellency de cided that the opportunity was ripe for making a grand stand play , and ho did. He recommended thnt the labor unions should got their heads together and make a first , second and third choice of men whom they desired appointed on the board. This looked fair to the labor ing mou and they made such selections , with the governor's promise that one would be appointed. But the governor forgot or declined to be bound by his promise to the labor unions and when the appointments were announced the other day they were not long in dis covering that they had been made the victims of Savnge , and that neither of then : recommendations had been con sidered. The governor and his friends were particular that his previous in tentions were given wide publicity but they have not been so prompt in explain ing his final action to those interested and the unions have fallen into che habit of writing bitter letters and adopting biting resolutions which they take great pleasure in addressing to the governor's offico. The Kansas City Journal considers that Mr. Bryan is as unchanging as the laws of the Medes and the Persians , the same yesterday , today and forever. The Journal has evidently not followed him in his political gyrations or else forgets. Yesterday he was convinced that the paramount issue was the imperialism Into which the "country is drifting ; " the day before that ho considered that the only salvation of the common people of America was in the adoption of the free aud unlimited coiuagd of silver nt the rntio of 1C to 1 without the nld or consent of nny nation on earth and it could not have been longer than a week ago that he carried a choice collection of cutlery and other articles to show how the poor people were being taxed and robbed by the tariff. The voters decided to cive he aud Grover a chance to correct the evils they depicted in that line and they haven't given them n chance to do anything since. Tomorrow he may be back to the point from which he started or ho may bo presenting nu entirely new proposition , no one knows. On the for ever business , however , the Journal struck it. He is forever finding fnult with the republican party ; ho is forever presenting the people with abstract theories which ho nor no one else ever expects to see put into practice ; and he is forever nfter the plaudits of the multitude with a vision of the presi dential chair before his mind's eye. If this is what the Kansas City paper meant it is eminently correct. The republican county convention is a week from Saturday , There are sensible anarchists , or nt least ono has been discovered and ho is ( lend. Ho had been ordered to kill a roynl person of Europe and ns ho approached preached the place where the crime waste to bo committed bo jumped overboard from the vessel on which ho was journey ing aud was drowned. If all having the siuno commissions to perform would do likewise anarchy would not bo BO bad. The story is out that Frederick Wilt Ham , crown prince of Germany , is in fatuated with nn American beauty and desires to renounce his rank and claim to the throne and marry her. Some may think that the young prince is foolish , but those who are best acquain ted with the American girl as n typo cannot but believe that they would do the same thing if they had a throne and title to renounce for one of the fair creatures. A St. Louis woman must bo either an extremely repulsive creature or at least very difficult to approach. Dnring n re cent thunder storm a lady of that town was under the protection of n parasol when lightning struck her. The iron rod of the parasol was twisted out of shape , ngold watch chain about her neck was molted , four gold rings on one finger wore fused and her left shoe was torn from her foot. The lady was un conscious for nu hour but wns other wise uninjured. King Edward Is to receive the Boer generals , Botha , DoWet and Delarey nnd tell thorn how alflred difficult it waste to lick them. This will make them feel good and they will return to South Africa to tell the'people of their country what bumptious chumps they have been all this time to spend their treasure nud spill their blood to keep from being absorbed by such a generous , kind hearted nation as Great Britain. This is undoubtedly the object of the meeting and in vlow of the fact thnt the war is over there are few friends of either party to the late unpleasantness but will wish for it unlimited success. The agricultural authorities at Wash ington are giving Nebraska credit for a good deal in this year of bumper crops. While the average yield of winter w.heat in the entire country producing that crop.is given at 13.8 bushels , the average yield in Nebraska of that cereal is placed nt 22 bushels per acre. The state with the next highest average is Missouri with 18.2 bushels per acre. Kansas , which is usually considered to be vrell up to ward the top on winter wheat production is given nn average yield'of only 8.7 bnshels perncre. Nebraska's prospects for n corn crop .ore given as showing an improvement of 11 points during the past month. Pennsylvania comes next with an improvement of 10 points. In spring wheat Nebraska has fallen back 0 points but the average is better than that of the last 10 years. The state promise ? to exceed the average yield of oats , al though' the past mouth has not been as favorable for that crop ns the earlier part of the beusou. The hay crop of the state promises to be excellent. Taken nil around Nebraska has proven to be equal if not superior to any of them in raising n crop and those who own farms here should realize that they are in the Eden of the country. Standup for Ne braska and raise bumper crops. Miles Zentmyer , a reader of the World-Herald at Schuyler sent it a communication regarding the at tempt of that paper to make it appear as though there wers few worse people than railroad attorneys and concerning the refuted announcement that W. H. Tnompson , the democratic candidate for governor , was of thnt class , which that paper failed to publish ; but the Schuyler Quill , n lending fusion paper , gave it space. Among other things , Mr. Zentmyer wrote : "Now ns to that startling announcement ( although re futed ) ns to Thompson being a local at torney for a railroad. Is it a criminal offense to be an attorney or employe of n railroad corporation , or any other cor poration ? Is there anything in the statutes inhibiting such persons from being candidates for official positions in governmental affairs , or making such persons ineligible to such positions ? From the hue and cry from some persons - sons one would think so , and that their touch would be as the deadly upas. And yet with these attorneys and em ployes , including the repairers of tracks , engineers , and conductors , aud on up to higher stations , are found a class of men of sterling manhood and citizenship which will compare favorably with any class of men in the world. Life and property are trusted to their keepinjr with a feeling of security that is almost marvelous. To impute a want of regard for an official oath to such men as a class is nothing short of n base libel nnd has n tendency to alienate them from those who do it. It may be conceded there are bad men in nil classes ; it would be strange if they were not among this class nlso. The day of general con demnation is passing away and the in quiry Is becoming more specific. Is the man capable , honest , and faithful to the trust he assumes , and If elected to an official station will his oath of office and sense of justice merit for him in'the dis charge of that trust , 'Well done , good and faithful servant1 " To be Held on September 22 , 23 and 24. FOLLOWS THE MADISON FAIR. The Affair to be Called a Race Meet , Street Carnival and Woodman's Picnic Committee on Finance In structed to Complete Canvass. From Tlmredny'e Callj : The executive committee appointed by President Lnikart to take charge of the fair and race meet , held n meeting yes terday afternoon in the directors' room of the Citizens National bank and dis cussed preliminaries of the coming event. It was decided to call the affair a race meet , street carnival and Woodmen's picnic. This title seems comprehensive enough to include all the features of the festivities. Considerable difficulty was experienced in finding suitable dates for the affair that would not conflict with those of surrounding county fairs and similar festivities , but it was finally de cided to hold the carnival on Monday , Tuesday and Wednesday , September 22 , 28 and 24. By thnt time all the county fairs in this viciuity will be over , the Madison fair closing on the 19th , Com ing when it docs , there seems to be every reason to believe that a large num ber of good horses can be induced to come here and make the race meet a big feature of the carnival. No plans were outlined ns to what the attractions shall consist of , outside the Woodmen's picnic nud the program to bo furnished by them , and the race mooting , the remainder of the enter tainment depending wholly upon the amount of funds thnt can be raised. Mr. Luikart was placed at the head of the committee on finance , with instruc tions to have his committee complete the canvass of the city at the earliest possible moment. When the executive committee knows the amount of funds that will be available , then apportion ments for different purposes will be made and each subcommittee will be expected to keep within the limit of the amount allotted. It is estimated that the race feature will pay for itself , in entrance fees and gate receipts , but it is thought best to have a guarantee fund subscribed to guard against unfavorable weather or other untoward contingency. This fund will not be collected unless needed , and the committee hopes it will not be needed. The fund for entertainment of visitors will have to be paid in ad vance the same as was the Fourth of July fund. Battle Creek Races. The Battle Creek Driving Park associ ation is arranging for n two days race meet at that place on Thursday and Fri day , August 28 nnd 29. Contributions from the business men of the town have been BO liberal thnt the association will hang up $500 in purses and n good time is promised all who attend. The list of prizes has not yet been announced but will be in a few days. SOUTH NORFOLK NEWS. Miss Evelyn Roland returned yester day from her visit to Omaha.

The play made the other day by tho- friars of the Philippines nt the Vatican' ' was anything but a success. The vat- lean simply replied to the friar : "If yon have sold the property of tro1 church , the title of which is ultimately in the pope , to American syndicates or anybody else , yon will have to account for the money to us. " The feeling in this country seems to be that it is a _ good thing for Uncle Sam if this trans fer has taken place , for the government will have no religions prejudices to con test with in settling up the Innd busi ness. If American syndicates claim tO' own these lands they will be handled" with less care than if the owners were the representatives of the Roman Cath olic hierarchy. There will be. no re ligious sentiment in the matter. The lands will be appraised nnd paid for summarily enough , and the syndi cates will get no sympathy from any body in pnrticnlnr. They went Into the business for wool nnd if they got sh rn , thera will be no tears wasted on them. If the sale was a fictitious one that fact will operate to divest the transaction of any sacredness and the task of govern ment will bo much lightened. It is now claimed that only ono of the four orders sold their land a year or two ago to syndicates , the Benedictines. State Journal. Hubbard May be Freed. It is very probable that Melvin G. Hubbard , a young man who lived in , Knox county previous to his commit ment to the penitentiary on n charge of statutory rape , will be released. Miss Jennie Porter , the girl who testified that Hnbbard was responsible for her condition , now says she was influenced to place the guilt upon Hubbard when the real party at fault was L. E. Craig of Lawton , In. , whom she afterwards married. Craig joins her in this state ment and it is very likely that an action begun to secure n new trial will result in Hubbard's release. Last October Hubbard was convicted before Judge Boyd. Hubbard received a sentence of seven years. Last June Miss Porter married Craig and soon after the wedding Craig sent word to Hubbard's friends that Hnbbard was in nocent and that he was the person re sponsible. J. H. Broady of Lincoln was in Sioux City Saturday taking the deposition of the husband nnd wife. Hubbard says his prosecution was the work of enemies who influenced the girl to swear falsely.
