The .lap * loHt no tlino In taking Km- IM'itir NIcholnH nt IIB ! word when ho Bald the war nuiHt go The groundhog In fully an unrolln- Wo UB HlrkH In tolling what may Imp licit In tin1 wuatlior lino. If the .laps do'It again that Hliould bo MiUlclout to demonstrate to the czar that lie nan no business whatever In tin' far cast. Nebraska cattle will soon ho feedIng - Ing on green pastures nnd the fann ers will have considerable aumn of dollar wheat In Hirout. ) There may lie some who will tnko the word of the packers that they raako only nluety-nlno contH a head from slaughtering cattle. With congress off his hands the prcn- Idont will have more tlino to dovototo the tnista nnd there may ho expected a rattling of dry bones when ho begins nctlvo operations , The Russians appear to bo neglectIng - Ing another opportunity to bring about that decisive victory that they have had In prospect since the first gun of the war was llrod. If yon have had the grip and es caped the spring fever epidemic you nro not yet so old that you may fear the putting In practice of Prof. Oslor'a extermination policy. "Blooding" Kansas will endeavor to extract Ita present contemplated vic tory without drawing blood other than that the corporations nro supposed to s\ycat during the operation. President Roosevelt was the most prominent flguro at the Inauguration ceremonies and ho will bo the most prominent figure of the government during the coming four years. KnropatUIn may next conclude that the best thing for him Is a. Hying run nnd Jump for St. 1'etershurg. There ho may bo safe if the revolutionists lo not turn loose and get him. Kuropatkln Is Just now wishing that there wore moro holes In the fence for his army to crawl through. It Is , apparently , the biggest proposi tion ho has been up against ulnco the commenced. If the sun spots wcro responsible lor that thlrty-below temperature n few wecHs ago , can the same token ho made to stand good for the seventy- five above record that March has been ranking ? Following a religions' revival In Omahn the pastors have figured on the cost and results and learn that souls were saved at the rate of $ CGC each. Anywhere off n bargain coun ter that should bo cheap enough. The Immigration to Nebraska promIses - Ises to be unusually largo during the next few months nnd It will bo found that they cannot come too thick nnd fast for their own good or for the de velopment of the state. Theodore Roosevelt again reigns , which Is paramount to a declaration that the trusts nro about to bo retired from control of tilings political In the government If not from things com mercial in the nation. The engineers who have recom mended that the Panama -canal bo brought down out of the clouds will have the thanks of those who Insist on maintaining a closer relationship with Mother Earth. The loss of two more votes by JCIedringhaus in the Missouri senatorial rial contest would seem to indicate that the time has arrived when ho should make the best bargain possible and let it go at that. With the beginning of Lent tomor row everybody is supposed to be ns good ns possible , and continue good until nfter Easter which this year comes on April 23. It will ho a long tlmo for some people to be on their food behavior. As a means for developing sensa tions , stories and mere gossip , the Stanford poisoning case seems to of < fer the greatest possibilities on the Itftt of the day. Many , no doubt , will bo condemned before the runt criminal Is ferreted out , The amount of Hlr-knesH apparent and the IncroiiHlng number of cases In which that "tired fooling" IB the prom inent symptom , leads NobraRkans to doubt whether that .liino temperature In March Is all that has'boon claimed for It liy winter resort spoclallHts. The honf trust Is I hen ronlly n very largo hourlcd and philanthropic trust. It Is Impossible to coiirolvo of another combination of capitalists who would ( daughter beef for the people and only ask a piollt of ninety-nine cents for the job. If the hoof trust will continue slaughtering cnttlo for the small profIt - It of nliioty-nino cents a head , what IH the sense of this ngllntlon In favor of getting It to leave competition alone ? The packers who have thus exhibited tholr Konoroslty should have the Hold to IhoniBolvoB. Mr. Hookofollor Is becoming des perate , or thinks ho may as well dlo for a sheep an n lamb. Ho has lately Invested In a 00-horso , power auto mobile , and there arc possibilities that If ho manages to dodge Kansas nnd the national government the au- tomobllo will get him. The adjustment of the Russian In dustrial situation docs not appear to have had anything of a permanent nature about it. The trouble Is dhow- lug new and serious turns since the czar announced that the government was absolutely In control of the situa tion. The people are hoping that there bo hotter relations between the now senate and the executive. , The retired scnato has left many knotty problems to bo contended with , and It will take harmony between every branch of the government to properly Ucul with them. * Colorado is again clamoring for at tention , and seems likely to get It. A bribery scandal Involving the contest - tost- for the governorship should bo effective , oven In the state that has run the entire gamut of sensation dur Ing the past few years. Commissioner fiat-Hold has taken a violent fall out of the butcher bust nesB. If there Is only a profit of ninety-nine cents a bond to packers , there Is surely no Inducement to en gage In the heof-ktlllng business and furthermore , there Is very little Inducement ducoment to buy stock In the packing Industry. Congress has generously undertak en to see that none of Its members are any out of pocket because of the charges for tickets that might bo inntlo against them by the railroads The sum of $11)0,000 ) is expected tr get them safely to Washington and back again , providing the porters dc not require too largo tips. The World-Herald has thrown a bar jxxm into the Omaha tlsh apputlto by showing that largo quantities of these denizens of the deep have boon taken from n stagnant pool usd as a gar- hngo dump , and had been dead a mat ter of about three weeks. It is safe to believe that tlsh will be eliminated from the bill of fare at Omaha in the future unless those who eat thorn are positively assured of their latest hab itation and the elapse of tlmo since they shnllled off. The czar has issued a manifesto promising the people a part In the preparation of the laws of the future. It is now to bo determined \\1ietlier this has been Issued In tlmo to bring about a cessation of the Internal dis orders and have the people's support In bringing about a termination of the war In the far east , or whether the revolt has gone so far that It Is no longer In the power of the government to control. It was up to the emperor to do something , beyond n doubt , but It may bo proven that there has al ready been too much delay and the people nra prepared to force greater recognition. There is frequently a rush of appro priation measures during the closing days of a legislative session that call for more money thau all the measures passed during the entire session , nnd unless the members nro on tholr guard they may bo caught napping. The Nebraska legislature has been unus ually level headed during this session * In the matterof expenditures nnd the tax-payers will hope that It may continuo - tinuo to keep its head during the bal ance of the term. There nro of course , some appropriationsthat should bo made nnd will prove of benefit rather than damage , but the hold-up measures , if there nro any , should bo carefully weecjod out nnd the expendi tures kept to the lowest possible point In another two wcokB the nlmnnno will bo prepared to conllrm the rumor that spring Is bore. Missouri proposes to dnmonlsrato quite soon that she has u legislature that will elect n Dulled Htntcs sonalor. It Is tlmo for the showing to bo made. At this tlmo of Inauguration excite ment It might not ho considered Im pertinent to Inquire what has become of a certain gentleman named Alton 1) . Parker. About the only thing now lacking , It would sooni , IH a meeting between HoJunlvenHky and Togo , hut perhaps the czar no longer dotdrcH that this meeting should lake place. March has no excuse for beginning to go out llko a lion so early In the game. It should have at least walled until the month was half gone before emphasising Its charactorlsllos. March has been sulking a little , but Is falling- lamentably in developing anything of llon-llko qualities In the weather line. It will not ho unduly condemned If It continues to fail. Secretary Hay gave President Roosevelt an Inaugural ring. There Is nothing HO unusual about that. There wcro many other Americans who gave the president an Inaugural wring. At the rate the Japanese and Rus sians are being killed off In tlio far east them should bo a demand for men In that part of the world by the tlmo the war Is ended that will ho hard to supply. President Roosevelt Is credited with having spent the Sunday following his Inauguration quietly and at homo. Some men would have got gloriously and rlp-roarlngly drunk on a much less provocation. In a few short weeks the busy Ne braska hen has reduced the price of eggs from thirty cents to fifteen cents a dozen and an egg-hungry people are grateful to her for her prompt and winning action. If there Is over to bo a tlmo when Knropntkln Is to demonstrate the su periority of the Russian forces that tlmo seems to bo at hand right now. If ho loses It will mean that ho can not withstand the stubborn ferocity of the Japanese tactics. President Roosevelt proposes to make the old cabinet do , but bo maybe bo forced to give it u little dressing down and rovarnlshlng. Resides it may ho necessary to make a few al terations to make the piece of furni ture look as good as ne\v. To rot real gracefully and without tremendous loss is alleged to bo the highest deslro of Oouornl Kuropatkln and bis army at the present tlmo in the proceedings. Ho will bo very grateful , according to all accounts , If ho Is not compelled to unfurl the white Hag during the process. "flas" Addloks may propose to take another turn nt the senatorial toga , but the indications nro that ho will bo compelled to tap the barrel of some one else , If he Is to win. The present and former contests haveN drafted pretty heavily on the wad that Mr. Addlcks had accumulated and It is to bo feared that ho will never bo nblo to secure the desired promotion , * The latest railroad rumor Is that the Milwaukee Is to head for the Black Hills All the rumors regardIng - Ing the building of railroads and elec tric lines would seem to promise dur ing the coming season that there would bo unusual activity , giving largo numbers of men employment nnd adding to the prosperity and de velopment of the country. The mill- zatlon of but a few of the rumors will bo advantageous to the people. . The municipal political situation is beginning to liven up In Norfolk , but the forces are not entirely In line nnd the outcome Is still a matter of con siderable doubt as to who will consti tute the next administration. However - over the preliminaries to the contest are being arranged nnd the real battle will bo on in a very short tlmo. The now arrangement of the wards will give added Interest to the election nnd there will be some speculation over the outcome. A few hundred would-be American Immigrants nro likely to bo kept per manently on board ship If they are to receive treatment nt other ports such ns they received nt New York and Flume. They were not permitted to land nt Now York nor nt the Ital ian port nnd unless there Is some place willing to receive them , the possibility Is that they will remain on shipboard the balance of their lives , unless the captain and his crew can manage to dlsposo of them In some other manner. Commissioner Onrfleld has under taken the job of finding out some thing regarding the oil trust situa tion , if ho does not succeed In uncov ering some worse facts than ho seems to * have found In the bcof trust In quiry , thoHo who have Insisted that the oil trust Is rotten to the core and capable of any kind of baseness , will bo genuinely disappointed. In vljw ( of what the beef trust has done Rock efeller may bo expected to prove that ho Is losing a cent or two on every gallon of oil ho soils to the public. Senator Nelson of Cumlng county has come Into prominence because ho fulled to Introduce a single hill during the legislative session. In n tlino when others are counting the number of bills they have crowded Into the legislative hopper It requires action , or rather lack of action llko that of Senator Nelson , to bring thorn Into prominence. Doubtless the state would bo much better off If there wore moro members of the legislature llko Nelson. If silence IB golden , a refusal to Introduce bills must be of a similar quality. The Associated Press is to bo con gratulated on the excellence of Its service from Washington during the Inauguration ceremonies and the newspapers holding membership are entitled to the congratulations of readers who llko their news hot off the wires. The News published all the important details Saturday night and Its competitors got In with It Sun day morning. At the same tlmo The News gave Its renders Important war news and Is always In the field with the Important happenings o& the day before the morning papers. A catalogue house Is about to con struct a model city near Chicago and make an ample fortune from rents , Tlio people who hnvo been dealing with this house have furnished the money for the building of _ this model city , while the town where they live may lack considerable of being n mod el but would have been advanced con siderably along approved lines If the money sent away had been spent nt home. The building of a model city In Illinois \ \ - \ \ \ never help the Nebras ka patrons of this house as would the building up of their homo town , still a number of the people who do their trading with the Chicago firm are RO constituted that they would refuse emphatically .to make contributions that would help their locality. There may bo a hope thrtt after the govern ment has found a means for suppress ing the other trusts a method may be found for preventing the building up of eastern cities on contributions made from the west in a retail way. The Lincoln Star says : "If land prices don't run up over $100 an acre and Immigrants fall to rush by thou sands into northeastern Nebraska it won't bo the fault of the Norfolk News. " The News Is trying to do Its full share toward Interesting the people ple who have been paying big rents on worn out land In the east to move this way and take homes fo'r them selves In as fertile a section as there Is In all out doors and It will bo a pleasing climax to Its program when thousands of new settlers move this way and help to develop the wonder ful resources of northeast Nebraska. When the Influx of settlers becomes great enough to reduce the size of 'arms ' from sections and half sections and yet give all a splendid opportu nity to build for health , wealth and happiness , It will mean that north east Nebraska will be supporting about twice as largo a population as t now does nnd the Importance of the towns In the district will be Increased In proportion. They have boon com ing , too , nnd will keep coming. Lincoln asylum officials hnvo dis closed the fact that one of the Inmates of the hospital , formerly a Madison county woman , 1ms found quite n source of revenue from advertising In a matrimonial paper. The woman is laboring under the hallucination that she is very wealthy nnd that Included in her estate nro eighteen sections of land near Lincoln which will become a portion of the dowry to her Intend ed husband. The dupes who answer the advertisement enclose valuable rings and sums of money to bind the bargain they desire to make. The Lincoln asylum ofllclals claim that they are unable to place a stay on the proceedings and It Is undoubtedly beyond the power of the postal author ities to punish for n fraudulent use of the malls when the advertiser is already confined in n stnto nsylum , and the woman will probably continue to receive donations as long as there are fools In the list of subscribers to the matrimonial paper. The extent of the deslro to get something for noth ing on the part of the American pub lic is alone responsible for the situa tion. It Is up to the men who answer such advertisements to take a tumble. The weather took to giving "P Its pleasured during Lent , nt least It started the Lenten season with very dignified behavior. There Is now n question whether or not Colorado Is operating under n republican form of government. It Is a matter , apparently , for a free and Independent people to Inquire Into. There should bo somu trust that will conform to the popular opinion of trusts without remaking , nnd It may bo that the armor pluto combina tion has all of the characteristics. Perhaps President Roosevelt more , ly gave out that statement of Commis sioner Garllold's concerning the beef trust to keep the animal quiet while ho Is aiming with his ax for the thin spot In Its head. Russia may think that hi tlmo It will have slain nil the lighting men that Japan possesses , but there IB an evident theory at present that where one has been killed two spring up to take his placo. Nlcdringlmus Is reported to bo out of It in Missouri , but n number of his supporters persistently cling to his nnmo though they may bo looking nnd hoping for a magnet sulllcleutly pow erful enough to draw them away. If tho'president Is In the mood to let the hoof trust go lu accordance with Commissioner Gnrlleld's bill of particulars , now would bo a good time for all other trusts to submit their Internal workings to the admlnistra' ' tion for a verdict. The oil trust has acquired consider able bravery since the report of Con * missioner Garlleld on the beef trust was made publip. , Mr. Rockefeller says ho would have no objections whatever to submitting the books of bis company to the commissioner. The chief of police of East St. Louis has placed a premium on the scalps of cracksmen by offering a reward of ? 100 each for those killed while op erating in the stores by the proprie tors. It is hoped that with this In ducement there will be more business men to take the matter of protecting their property In their own hands. The mayor has given his sanction to the plan. After all the fuss that they Jiave made about It the contending forces In the far east are only a matter of about fifty miles north of the previous battle field of Llao Yang. If the Japs nro to drive the Russians out of Man churia during the next dozen years they will need to move faster than they have been going , and If the Rus sians are still engaged In their plan of enticing the Japs into the interior and away from their base of supplies they are making mighty slow pro gress. The paper trust has now begged off and insists that it is doing business entirely within the meaning of the federal laws meant to keep the field for competition open in the United States. It has a most cherubic smile according to its own storfes and if there are horns concealed by its ap pearance It Is for the government to prove. In the general scrimmage with the trusts It is to be expected that this or some other of the great corpo rations will show the horns and clov en hoofs that are alleged to exist and the newspaper makers are almost hopeful that this will bo the particular corporation. That Garfleld report on the beef trust Is too altogether tame for the Kansas trust smashers and they have adopted a resolution praying the presi dent to reject the report nnd appoint a capable , energetic man to Inquire Into the matter nnd learn the sources of the colossal fortunes of the beef magnates and their operations in rob bing producers nnd consumers. With the supreme court already on record , and the grand jury nt Chicago to un dertake an Investigation , It Is not probable that the president will permit the matter to rest with the report of Commissioner Garfleld. If there Is anything about the trust not conform ing to legitimate business lines the executive will undoubtedly uncover It nnd act accordingly. No one Is en titled to suppose that the Garfleld re port disposes of the beef trust busi ness for all time. State of Ohio , City of Toledo , Lucas County , BS. : Frank J.

"The police officer's gun and billet have fallen into Innocuous desuetude In Norfolk and vicinity , " said Officer Carl Pilger today , regarding local con ditions. "Last night there was ab solutely nothing doing and It was the' first tlmo in weeks and weeks that the city jail has had not a single prisoner , man or woman , to hold until the con vening of police court in the morning.
