The people of York nro heartily dis
gusted with the mud aud slop made in

and have called a meeting to discuss the

Btreots. Norfolk should , also.
With a now pleotrio car line Norfolk
will certainly begin to nssume metropol
itan airs. Almost every other require

folk's way this spring and any failure
of the oar line to materialize will cer

Jackson , Kentucky , may bo a stren
uous sort of city and the people mighty
.careless with their firearms , but , thank
goodness , it is not yet entitled to trot in
the same class with Belgrade nnd Kis-
heneff. No American city has yet np-
proaohod the standard ofjjthoso of east
ern Europe and they never will.
The United States would be , a des
irable nlly in any trouble involving any
European country , aud it is [ interesting
to observe them paying court to this
young and strong world power. It is
just ns interesting to observe tholofforts
of this government to treat them all
civilly nnd at the same time prevent
.any entangling alliances.
Some of the papers are circulating the
story that the man to run for vice pres

be from Nebraska nnd that it IB not im
probable that the man will bo governor

interviewed on the matter until some of
the details are in his possession.
Grand Island appears to bo making a
.specialty of entertaining state meetings
this year. Following the meeting of
IU the state druggists last week , the fune

evidently finds it profitable to invite

there is Already nn army forming to dis
pute the reign of the usurping ruler ,
nnd Bomo Interesting now stories nro
quite likely to emanate from Sorvla in
the future.
President Roosevelt is out of patience
with Colombia regarding the isthmian
canal negotiations nnd promises to iutl-
mnto to the Colombian government that
it will quickly have to como to terms or
negotiations will bo opened with Nicar
agua for the other route Colombia can
scarcely afford to hnvo this done , but it
is just like the president to begin such
arrangements if terms nro not reached
nt once.
Grover Cleveland appears to shy nt
any proposition bearing the name of
"presidency. " Ho was offered the op
portunity to become the head of the
University of Virginia , but ho wouldn't
consider the proposition. The people
may in time forgot their condition when
Mr. Cleveland had the first nnd fore
most presidency of the country , but it is
plainly apparent tlmt his memory in not
nt nil short.
It is reported that the Chicago pack
ers nro to try another movement look
ing toward the stretching of their pro
fits in both directions. This will bo ac
complished by reducing the price of live
stock which they buy nnd increasing the
price of the dressed moats which they
Roll. If there is any foundation to the
story , President Roosevelt may bo ex-
nootod to sot his little machine to work
at cutting into the scheme.
Pink lemonade will probably not bens
ns it formerly was nt the circus the
rind of the lemon is quite npt to bo
missing in the future. The fruit trust
is said to hnvo cornered the lemon crop
nnd will rniso the price 100 per cent. It
is therefore very probnblo tlmt the cir-
ous caterer will promptly meet the
situation by retiring the very small
slice of lemon that formerly floated
around in the lemonade glass.
The immigrants to America nro al
most unanimous in declaring that their
object iu coming to this country is to
afford their children the opportunities it
offers for ednoation nnd development.
America cortniuly does open np vast
possibilities for developing humnnity
nnd the people of foreign countries are
the quickest to realize its importance in
this particular , having .for years ex-
periouced the drawbacks ol their native
lands.
If American firemen should adopt the
methods of the OhiucBO firemen aud
fight the fiend with gongs aud banners ,
the insurance companies nnd property
owners would have much larger losses
to bear. The thing for his royal nibs of
the celestial empire to do would bo to
send n delegation of his flro-fighters to
Norfolk to attend the firemen's tourna
ment on July 21,23 nnd 28 , nnd learn
the npproved modern American wny of
doing np the flumes.
President Benr of the Rending rail
road is nt present oudenvoriug to prove
to the satisfaction of the iuter-stato
commerce commission that his company
is becoming bankrupt carrying cool at
increased rates to the dear people. It
would appear that his company is in
business from n purely humanitarian
motive , according to his testimony , but
there nro those who will continue to
believe that a magnificent iucomo is being -
ing made at the business.
It is said that the squad of young men
who have boon eating food cured with
borax and formaldehyde in , the interest
f science , under governmental snpervis-
on , have rebelled nud will be relieved
'roni ' the test ou the 80th. While none
of them hnvo died or suffered illness
rom the effects of their diet , they nre
heartily disgusted with the flavor and
character of the food and want a
change , which does not speak any too
highly for the preserving compounds
used in packing the food stuffs.
The decreasing production by the for
ests of the country of timbers used by
railroads , telegraph nnd telephone com
panies has caused thosa largo timber
consumers to experiment toward the
relief of the situation through the
bettor nnd more careful preservation of
the woods used. . It is found that infer
ior timbers , well and properly seasoned ,
will outlive those of bettor quality to
which less attention has boon bestowed
in curing nnd treating. The govern
ment has undertaken to assist in this
work aud it is hoped that the results
will be largo and beneficial. The rapid
decline of forests and the increasing
prices of their products boa created n
new problem to be solved and the gov
ernment , through Its bureau of forestry ,
is lending all the assistance iu its power
toward Increasing the yield of timber
Innda nnd lengthening the life of the
timbers nlronHy cut.
The spirit of Improvement has
struck the Union Pnolflo company to the
extent that it has closed n contract with
the United Stntc-H Stool corporation for
100,000 tonfl of rails , to bo delivered
next year and which will bo used for
the purpose of double tracking the
system west of Grand Island nnd on the
Southern Pnoiflo road. This pnrohnio
represents nn ontlny of $2,800,000 , by
one railroad nnd speaks emphatically of
n confidence In the mnintninnnco of the
prevailing prosperity for years to come.
All the stool mills nro now working to
capacity to fill th'so Inrgo orders , nnd
with prosperity for the railroads n < d the
chief manufacturing industry of the
country , prosperity for the IcBHorJry is
practically ncsurod.
Crop conditions in this vicinity nro
excellent nnd there is every prospect
that there will bo n record harvnst when
the time comes to gather in the grain.
Upland fields appear to bo most prolific
nnd while the corn crop is backward ,
especially along the lowlands , n few
warm days nnd n few warm nights with
the moisture under the soil , will bring
it into line quickly nud effectually.
Meantime the grass nud small grain
crops glvo every cnuBO for rejoicing.
The farmers will hnvo n prosperous hnr-
vest nnd nil the people depending on the
fnrniors for their prosperity will enjoy
n benefit. The situation is highly en
couraging nnd the spirit of improvement
manifest npponrs to bo fully justified by
the procpocts of the future.
In the sudden death of Editor Hart
of the North Nebraska Eagle , Nebraska
loses one of its pioneer publishers who
wns very well known throughout the
state nnd in Iowa. Mr. Hart wns born
in Pennsylvania iu 18CO , came to Sioux
City in 1870 where ho was employed on
the Journal , nnd in 1870 , with Will S.
Jny , nt present representing the Stnto
Journal , established the Eagle. For
some years Mr. Hart has been conduct
ing the Eagle nlouo , having acquired
Mr. Jay's interest. Ho was prominent
in republican politics , having boon n
delegate to the national convention that
nominate Harrison nt Minneapolis nnd
was ono of the committee to notify Mr.
Harrison of his nomination. Ho wns a
Mason , an Odd Fellow'nnd Woodman
of the World. Ho loaves n wife and
four children , two of whom are grown.
The Antelope county board of super
visors have advertised for bids and ac
cepted n contract for the construction of
n now bridge ncross the Elkhorn north
of Tilden for which Mndison county
will bo expected to pay one-half. The
Madison county commissioners , however -
over , have not yet agreed to the con-
trnct nud it is not improbable that they
will refuse to sign one , ns the construc
tion of the contemplated now bridge
would exhaust or very materially de
plete the bridge funds of the county.
The Tilden bridge is now in passable
condition and it is doomed ouly fair
that the funds available should bo used
in temporary repairs to bridges that
have been rendered impassible by the
high water. " The Madison commission
ers are to consider the contract at their
Monday mooting , and it is not probable
that they will sign aud exhaust their re
sources for repairs to other bridges.
The prophecy of W. J. Brynn that
celebrations of the Fourth of July nre
to pnss nwny may yet be realized , nt
least iu part ; but if it is , the responsi
bility for its passing will not be charge
able to n reign of imperialism , nor to the
republican party. A movement is now
on foot to discourage the old fashioned
celebrations with modern nnd dangerous
explosives. The number killed and
wounded each year through the ignor
ant or careless use of these noise-makers
has aroused n sentiment that may well
bo calculated to limit the sale of in
ventions that hnvo been in increasing
demand during a number of years to
the profit of certain manufacturers.
Goo. E. Ives of Hartford , Wis. , has un
dertaken to bring into prominence the
dangerous character of certain explos
ives , principal among which are enu
merated the cannon crackers , blank
cartridges , rippers , Santiago bombs , up-
to-dates , corkers and whistling bombs.
Sustaining the movement ho quotes the
casualties of last Fourth of July as
gathered by the Chicago Tribune of that
year , which had it that 81 were killed ,
and 2,649 injured from the following
causes : Fireworks , 841 , gunpowder ,
640 ; firearms , 44J ! ; toy pistols , 423 ; can
non , 80S j runaways , 29. It is n story of
disaster well calculated to offset the
patriotism that is supposed to prompt
observances of the Fourth of July , nnd
no doubt enough patriotism aud fun
would remain to celebrations if those
deadly articles were removed from the
list of Fourth of July supplies. The
American people are patriotic , beyond a
doubt , and it does not require this an
nual slaughter to prove it. They are
also n wise people nnd if it is found thnt
nny menus or materials are not whole
some they will bo promptly and effect
ually turned down. Young America
will make noise on the Fourth , ' un
doubtedly , ns long ns time will last , but
his ambition in this direction may be in
clined to safer methods by popular sug
gestion.
Mr. Bryan proposes to have an old
fanhlonod celebration of the Fourth of
July of his own nt his homo near Lin
coln. Prominent national speakers nro
expected to bo piesont nnd there will bo
music nnd patriotism galore.
The farmers' tru t that proposes to
hnvo n dollar for wheat before it lots go ,
claims to have n membership of 100,000
in various states of the union. With
anch natnrt , nnd nil of them determined ,
they may succeed iu their attempt to
bull the market.
King Kara should bo nil that funh n
small country entitled to. With n
population of but n few thousand moro
than Nebraska nnd nn nrcn of ICKS than
one-fourth of this gront state , it is im
possible to BCO how Scrvla can support
such n name ns Knrngcorgnvitoh for its
ruler.
Sir Thomas Lipton is again on the
side of the Atlantic from which ho hns
suffered so many defeats In nn effort to
wrest the American yachting cup from
these who now have it in tlieir posses-
fllon. His perseverance deserves success ,
but from the manner in which the old
Shamrock has been defeating the now
Shamrock , and from the success the
now American cup defender has had
in running away from the old ouo , it
appears very doubtful if ho will succeed
in taking the trophy this year.
The selection of A. R. Talbot of Lin
coln to bo head consul of thnt order
shows exceeding good tnsto on the part
of the Modern Woodmen of America , in
session at Indianapolis. In the first
place ho is n Nebraska man , which
should bo n guarantee of merit nud abil
ity ; then ho is thoroughly informed on
the order nud the manner iu which his
campaign has boon conducted shows ex
ecutive ability nud n quality for hns
tling thnt cannot fail to benefit the
order. All loyal Nobrasknns will con-
grntulnto the Woodmen on their choice
and Mr. Talbot on the success of his
campaign.
It is not much to bo woudered at that
the people of some of the European
monarchies are so poor and oppressed.
When an American citizen is confronted
with the fact that a country like Scrvia ,
with scarcely one-fourth the area of
Nebraska and a population but a few
thousand greater is compelled to sup
port an independent government in
royal style , maintain its own army and
navy , if it happens to have one , and bo
always fighting for its rights with
neighboring independent governments ,
some reason for American greatness is
readily apparent , because numerous
small states contribute to ouo head of
government that looks after all these
details nud yet support a local govern
ment to look after matters of local im
port.
Bishop Turner of the African
Methodist church advises the people of
his race to colonize in Africa , from
whence they came , as the only hope for
them to attain to independent govern
ment without being subject to a superior
race. With the education aud de
velopment the colored race has received
in America , this would seem to be n
logical settlement of the race problem.
The whites iu this country are evidently
determined that a negro shall never
rule , but they could establish n po tfor-
fnl government of their own where
they were not so dominated over and
could materially assist toward the nd-
vnncement of other Africnu'poople and
develop the country -to the benefit of
themselves aud the civilized world.
Some such solution of the race problem
is certainly desirable.
It is figured that with a system of
storage reservoirB.to prevent the water
of western streams from swelling the
Missouri and Mississippi rivers in ( times
of high water , not only would the floods
bo prevented , but the water thus stored
would be used by irrigation to reclaim
85,000,000 acres of land nt present un
productive. With a benefit in both
directions it would seem that the
government could well afford to inaug
urate such n system , nnd it undoubtedly
will as BOOU as the proper sentiment is
aroused , much of which should be ac
complished by the conditions that hove
prevailed this spring. The government
has made n good start by the nppropri-
atiou made nt the last session of con
gress , nud ench succeeding congress
should add to the work until this de
sirable condition Is realized.
Decides In Favor of Railroads.
Jefferson City , Mo. , Juno 16. The
supreme .court quashed the writ of
quo warranto in the case of Attorney
General Crow against the Missouri Pa-
clflc , Santa Fe and eleven other rail
road companies. This is the recon-
slgnuient case. Judge Burgess wrote
the opinion , in which his associates
all concurred. It Is a victory for the
railroads , in that the court sustained
the plea made by the railroads that
this proceeding was prosecuted solely
for the vindication of private rights
and the redress of private grievances ,
and therefore ordered the writ quashed ,
The court holds a wrong to private ln <
dividual or individuals can not bo cor
rected by a quo warranto proceeding ,
The courts say that the statute pro
vldcs ample , relief for remedy of nucl
*
private wrongs as are complained ol
in this proceeding at the hands of th
railroad and warehouse commissioner !
and to those commissioners such matters
tors should bo referred for adjustment

will act be reached for several days.
Already proprietors of levee stores
are paying dally visits to the river , In
hopes of finding the water sufficiently
low for them to reopen their estab
lishments.
By far the best view of the flood In
general is observed from the Ends
bridge , and all day this structure was
packed with spectators.
It was with considerable difficulty ,
necessitating at times threats of pun
ishment , that the armed guards sta
tioned where the viaduct joins the
bridge proper succeeded In keeping
the crowds from passing them nnd en
tering the Hooded territory of East
St. Louis.
The Inquest into the death of Clif
ford Hambley , the young member of
the St. Louis naval reserves , who was
klKed In East St. Louis by alleged
levee cutters , was begun by the coroner
ner at Belleville.
Conditions In East St. Louis are Im
proving , the Hooded portions south of
Broadway and west of the Southern
tracks showing a moro decided fall
in the water than since the break In
the levee Wednesday morning has cov
ered this territory. It Is expected that
many of those driven out of this terri
tory will be able to get back to their
homes and places of business tomor
row. The lowlands back of the city
are beginning to resume in places
their usual aspect. The water around
the relay station Is receding and It
will be but a short time before the rail
roads can again enter St. Louis across
the Eads bridge.
A number of persons who lived In
Madison , Venice , Granite City nnd
East St. Louis prior to the flood are
missing. Inquiries for twenty-seven
missing ones have been received at tbe
different relief headquarters.

WHOLESALE CATTLE RUSTLING.
Confession of Four Indians Said to
Have Uncovered Gigantic Plot.
Sioux City , June 15. A "secret clr-
clo" formed for the purpose of rustling
cattle , which in Us sensational details
reads like a dime novel , has just been
unearthed In Lyman county , South Da- j
kola. The scheme Is a gigantic one ,
involving several of the moro prominent -
inent cattle raisers. Some of the moro . 1
honest ones have been forced Into the f 1 J
organization through fear and at pros- ' , < r j
cut n bounty of $500 has been placed
on the head of one of the Hancock
brothers , who has been especially
stern In his hostility to the rustlers-
A 'secret agent of the government has
been at work on the case for some
time aud the confessions of Claude.
Eagle Pipe , William Black Bull , Hen
ry Pipe and Moses Goodvolce , a quar
tet of Indians employed by the rust
lers , Is thought to complete the chain
of evidence against the rustlers. Tho-
confessions were secured by C. H.
Wllkle , special agent for the Stock
men's association. Lyman county , with
Oaconm as headquarters , hao been
the chief scene of the depredations of
the rustlers , but their thieving has
been carried on by an elaborate sys
tem , over a largo part of the range
country. A veritable cattle war 1s-
threatened. It Is not believed the
rustlers will submit to arrest and the
morQ rejMrtablo cattle dealers are de
termined to rid the country of them.
Bloodshed Is expected.
TEXTILE STRIKE NEARS END.
Another Firm Gives Way While Yarn
Shortage May Force Settlement.
Philadelphia , June 15. There were
no new developments In the textile
workers' strike other than the grant
ing of the demands by Coxo Bros. ,
haircloth manufacturers , making.
elKhty-nino concessions up to date.
A scarcity of yarn has resulted from , <
the strike and the idle operatives as
sert that yarn mills will soon be com
pelled to grant the demands if an ut

is to he averted. With all the yarn ,
mills idle , it will not be long before
the plants conceding the flfty-flvo

memory of negro slaves and their de
scendants who faithfully served Bar- f
rlngton families. "
Pope Annoyed by Rumors.
Rome , June 15. Dr. Laponnl , the >
pope's physician , continues treatment
of his difficulty , which would not be
worth mentioning were it not for the
pope's age. All rumors regarding his
Indisposition and premature reports
of his death are kept from him as far
as possible , as they glvo him much i
concern , for the pontiff takes them
most seriously. "Why do they want
me to be gone ? " he exclaims , "I done
no one any harm. " It Is Impossible to
make hlf holiness understand that It
is the interest taken in his person
which leads to the publication of these
rumors.
