Only nnotlior week until circus day. .luno IH starting In earnestly to restore - store Nebraska's corn prospects to tholr UBual optimistic level. An exchange extends tlio Kind hnnd to tlio now member of tlio ( Ionium royal family with "hoch die kion prln- cosslul" There has been nothing developed yet to prove that Japan Is not smug ly supported by being on the side of nnd justice. Togo will be entitled to swell up with pride until ho tries to take a race from an American yacht , then ho will ( illicitly realize his Inferiority. Tljoro Is less than a month In which Nebraska cigarette Honda may drive nails Into their colllns , but some of them are undoubtedly working overtime to achieve success. Whether Nebraska manages to ralso n corn crop or not , the promise for u small grain and potato crop given assurance that the people of the state will not bo permitted to Btarvo to death. Three Chicago churches were BtuicU by lightning during a recent thunder storm. It might not bo Im pertinent to liKiuIro whether all or any of them had In any manner been using Rockefeller "tainted wealth. " Mr. Dryan Is Invited to direct his gaze toward this neighborhood. Not only have celebrations of the Fourth of July failed to pass away , but Nor folk pioposes to go It one better and celebrate the third of the month as well. Juno sunshine and the subsiding of the high water Is proving an ell'ectlve tonic for the corn crop and the people who hnvo been given to fears of ca lamity may now cheer up and bo glad until they think they have something else to worry about. The ci-.ar will now probably want the land forces to bo given another chance and will Insist on awaiting the results of the next battle there. Ho would bo safe In Judging It by the events of the past and call It a whipping on the start. First estimates of the Japanese loss In the naval battle are proving too large , while llrst estimates of the Rus sian loss proved far too small. The world was hardly prepared to hear anything so good for Japan and so bad for the Russians. If Servla would now get busy and Japanlze Turkey there might bo rea son to believe that there Is still Jus tice In the land , although It must bo conceded that Servla Is not as compe tent to teach lessons on civilization and progress as Japan. Lightning has struck n Denver brewery. Now if the churches had always escaped n similar calamity the temperance people might well point to this Incident as an evidence of the wrath of Providence exercised against an abominable institution. There is less than n month In which to choose your locality In which to celebrate the Fourth of July. If you are determined to have a good time , however , you will not fail to consider the arrangements Norfolk Is making for the observance of the nation's birthday. Oregon claims as a resident a wo man 118 years of age , Mary Ramsey Wood , who was born u Tennessee In 1787 and crossed the plains In 1853. She is probably the oldest wonian In the country and the death of the only survivor of the war of 1812 brings her into prominence. The game warden has announced that he intends to make some horri ble examples of pot hunters and violators lators of the fishing laws of the state. To be assured of not .getting hurt , the men and boys who have been guilty will be Justified In working a personal reform be-fore it IB too late. Rose-water's enemies cannot now charge that things went -wrong with the Algoea bc-cause of the editor's in fluence with tbfc court n. Mrs. Algoe's pica of-guilty rets aside tble potMble Riitlfifnctlon to thorn , and they will lie compelled to admit thai It wan a film- pie case of blackmail or forever hold tholr peace on the subject. The natives In German Southwest Africa are doing things that nroqnlti- llkoly to provoke trouble for them In the very near future. They must lack IntolllKonco or they would certainly not offer offoiiHO to the Germans , Few civilized count HOB on the globe would care to encounter the same risk. Chicago might set a good example to Petersburg by submitting the dlfloiences between the teamsters and the employers to a board of arbitra tion. President Roosevelt's represen tations to the c/ar would have greater weight , no doubt , If ho could show where arbitration IH effective In his own country. The state of Washington has placed In effect an anti-pass law and the rail roads arc not only going to ahldo by Its provisions , but fiomo of them state that they will call In the pasteboards - boards on their entire system. It will ho u good thing. Free passes are n discrimination in passenger business , If nothing worse. Glvo Togo a little more time and ho may decide to visit the Ilaltlc and look up any naval remnants that HoJ- estvonsky may have left behind , be sides making serious trouble for the Russian ports In that vicinity. If ho but had the opportunity to capture a few more Russian vessels he would 11 ml It of material advantage for such a movement. Andrew Glllesplo of Scotia was 100 years old Saturday and will undoubt edly stand up and testify that his res idence In Nebraska during the latter years of his life when men In other states are falling In health and vital ity has contributed materially to hist long life and good health. Nebraska ranks high In health , longevity and prosperity as well as In Intelligence and education. Kastcrn people cannot quite under stand why a Nomaha county man should acknowledge to an assessor $25,000 In cash that no one know ho possessed , but that Is Just what the new revenue law In this state Is cal culated to accomplish throw a full share of tho. burden on the man with money , and ho takes great risk In evading or defying the law. Other states could well afford to promote the mime sort of honesty. , \ Russian volunteer licet Is nmk- his things Interesting for the mer chantmen In the vicinity of Hong Kong. Having no business to at tack the Japanese navy these boats are doing work more In tholr liuoaild taking no chances , but as "all Is fair In love and war" there will probably bo no radical protests until some neu tral nation gets Us toes In the way. and there wljl ho trouble that will re quire a settlement from something more assertive than a volunteer licet. The nomination of Ernest M. Pol lard for congress from the Second Nebraska district on the platform adopted Is equivalent to an election , though the democrats of the state , lacking other policies to Interest them , may succeed In making the fight very interesting. The long struggle in convention for the honor might in some districts and under some cir cumstances bo provocative of defeat , but with the republicans of the Second end there will be nothing but harmony long before the time for election rolls around. It would seem that the czar Is at tempting to force his own people to take up arms against him. He has sought to embroil the other nations of the world in the war and the other recourse to get out of it without giv ing full credit to the Japs will be to have his own countrymen force the Russians out of the field by revolu tionary methods. The latest reports are that ho is going to succeed ad mirably. The people of no other na tion on earth would stand it to be placed under n dictatorship without rebellion. Thirty men of the beef trust have been indicted by the Chicago grand jury and the prospects are that ten others will be similarly dealt with. If the government Is now able to prove the Indictments it will servo as a warning to the packing combine and all other combinations that the anti-trust law Is a serious arrange ment and one they can well afford to studiously avoid by conducting their business on strictly legitimate lines. Evasions of the law will soon become as dangerous as direct violations and but one way will be open to prevent punishment and that will bo to deal honestly and righteously with the people. It may be possible that the Japs will be compelled to reduce General Llnevltch'B hump of self-confidence before terms of peace may be ar ranged , lie IB quoted as declaring himself In favor of continuing the war to the bitter end and expresses him self IIH fooling strong enough now to assume the aggressive In Manchuria. Ho IhlnkH that the Japanese are al ready withdrawing toward the south out of fear of him. General Kuropat- kin had the Bamo confidence and ob served the fearful ntjd retiring dispo sition of the enemy but ho was unde ceived several times , anil his suc cessor may bo In need of a similar lesHon. It only remains for the czar to say whether or not It should ho given him. Admiral Knqulst did something bet tor than sinking or surrendering by running three of the Russian cruis ers Into Manila bay , but his govern ment cannot hope for valuable results to come from his position. If he de termine to clear out , the Japanese have had fair notice of his where abouts and will surely not permit him lo run very far , and If ho decides to remain , the vessels and officers and men will bo out of the present war for good. The latter , It would seem , would give the best ultimate results , but the c/ar seems to have his own opinions regarding this war and he may expect the three cruisers to meet the Japs and take their medicine like the others of the fleet. This leaves but a few vessels of the Russians un accounted for. The situation regarding Russia's powerful navy sent to subdue the Jap anese may be summarized as follows : Fifteen vessels sunk , live captured , eleven unaccounted for , live escaped , l.BOB men killed , 0,115 men captured , one admiral killed , three admirals prisoners. The full weight of the dis aster Is emphasized by the fact that only unimportant vessels escaped or are unaccounted for. The vessels of large cost or carrying great crews are all either sunk or captured , and the same fate undoubtedly awaits the oth ers. The taking ot Vladivostok and > another port o two would finish the record as far as an eastern Russian navy goes. In accomplishing this re sult the latest reports Indicate that the Japanese commander 'lost 111 ? of ficers and men killed and -121 otllcers and men wounded , and three torpedo boats sunk. United States Treasurer Roberts declares that the time Is not far dis tant when New York will replace London as the financial center of the world. Ho denominates America the "pivot of prosperity" and sees in the fact that the financial Interests of this country control more than ono- fourth of the stock of mined gold In every civilized country in the world , indications leading to the results he foretells. America certainly Is con stantly gaining In importance in a financial way and every other way wherein brains and Industry can as sert dominion , and the view of the treasurer Is far removed from a pipe dream. With the opening up of the vast resources yet undeveloped and the Increase In population to about twice its present numbers America will almost certainly lead In every thing worthy of the effort. The only reason that the repub licans on the Second congressional district have taken the lead in declar ing against passes and In favor of President Roosevelt's policy regarding railway rates Is because they have had the first .chance. Republican senti ment in favor of both issues has been statewide for some time , and those delegates of the Second district are no to be accredited with entire orig inality on the subject ; however , they are to be given the credit of being good enough republicans to bo the first In line. They are leaders in the resolution elution business but draw their inspi ration from the general sentiment of the state. County , district and other conventions will get in line as quickly as possible , but they must be given an excuse for calling a convention before they can show results. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications , as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness , and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachlan tube. When ths tube Is Inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing , and when it Is entirely closed , deafness Is the result , and unless the Inflamma tion can bo taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition , hear ing will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh , which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness ( caused by catarrh ) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh cure. Send for circu lars , free. F. J. Cheney & Co. , Toledo , O.

Forest flres have early commenced to shorten up on the lumber supply of the country , and n season of un usual fire activity may be in sight. It Is nald that but for the coast timber , lumber would now bo high and scarce , but there Is an abundant supply out there. The earliest ( Ire to be report ed Is In northern Michigan , but the fire fiend will doubtless BOOH bo doing hlH full share to reduce the visible supply on the coast. Another fact that has contributed to the advantage of the lumber supply In Its Increasing scarcity Is that other materials are being largely used where before only wood was employed , In the construc tion of buildings and bridges and par ticularly In the making of farm Im plements. It Is possible that by the tltiK ! there Is no lumber left In the country there will ho scant demand for It as other materials are rapidly being prepared for substitution. If there Is any reason whatever for Blurting the rumor that the czar had committed suicide , the repeated as- scitlon that Russia Is In no wise In jured In Japan's repeated victories becomes the veriest bosh. If the czar Is distressed nnd the people are dis tressed by the awful consequences of the war , to go hopelessly sacrificing lives and property with no prospect whatever of turning he tide of the war might be considered maalnacal on the part of the government. With the army and navy repeatedly shot to pieces , not to mention the effect on the government nnd the people , a wise and provident nation would at once give up hopes of aggrandizement in the far east and sue for terms of peace. The depth of misery Into which the czar has fallen would Indi cate that he Is ready for the movement If not hold back by those more pow erful than he , and his Is the condition of thousands of loyal subjects. The Russian admiralty has allowed Its anger to rise against Admiral No- bogatoff and Is Insisting that he and his officers who surrendered their ships should be shot. It Is doubtful If any civilized country in the world would today favor such n means for venting disappointment , and It Is pos sible that Russia's calamity comes from a wish to Inspire fear rather than a desire to have her army and navy Influenced to loyalty and devo tion for patriotic reasons. A traitor nnd coward Is despised by all people , but when a man has done his best and Is threatened with overwhelming odds a just people will forgive a surren der , although more of them do admire the one who goes down fighting to the very last. Russia cannot hope to punish all officers nnd men engaged In the war because they have not proven victorious , If they did and that punishment should consist in shoot ing the government itself would bo aiding the enemy It now desires to overthrow. There was quite a concerted action on the part of calamltyltes early this year to bring on hard timesby an nouncing that such a condition was certainly in sight , but the effect 1ms not been noticeable , In fact there is improvement , the liabilities of the firms that have failed in every month of this year being less than in the corresponding months of a year ago. January of this year showed , failures with liabilities of above eight million dollars less than January of last year , and a corresponding falling off Is shown in every other moiijh , May failures being about a million dollars less in the amount of liabil ities than May of last year. The fail ure of these pessimists to provoke calamity may be distressing to a few , but the great American public will rather that prosperous conditions should continue to operate to the dis credit of those who seek and proph esy calamity. With another good crop Nebraska will be among those states that are high up in the matter of prosperity and the bank accounts and savings will show notable in creases.

The Kiesau Drug Co. The czar Is having other trouble for which the Japanese are not solely responsible. It Is reported from Man churia that General Llnevltch has been compelled to shoot twenty-five offi cers and hang 300 men to prevent a mutiny , while there is every reason to still fear that there will he a mut inous outbreak In the army. If such Is the spirit of even a small portion of the army It Is simply a pipe dream for the emperor to hope to win a vic tory oven though he Is able to mobi lize an army of stupendous proportions tions capable of meeting the Japanese with a force of three or four to one. If the Japs are ever forced to defen sive It Is possible , too , that the Rus sians will have a new conception of their capacity. They have not been so placed during the present war , but their victories have been accom plished by driving the Russians from strongly fortified and entrenched po sitions. They have succeeded at that and will succeed In .a plan of defense , beyond a reasonable doubt. The limit of Russian humiliation can only be" absolutely prevented by a movement for peace. , President Roosevelt has presented to Count Cassinl various arguments why h's ' government should ask Japan for peace terms they would he will ing to consider , taking an attitude that is subject to terms of praise by tlio peace-loving people of the world , and should he gratefully considered by the Russian emperor and his ad visors. Russia has been whipped often ten/ enough during the present war and has suffered sufficient losses of men and treasure to make her willing to sue for peace , and if the future is to bo judged by the past or any logical theory there is nothing better in sight than continued humiliation and dis aster. Russia has certainly had time to demonstrate that It might overcome the Japanese , but it is proving no more successful in its land battles than at the beginning of the war , and from documents recently published it Is convincing that the Russians had a long time to prepare for battle be fore hostilities actually opened. President Roosevelt is willing to prove that he and the American people - plo are good friends of the Russians oven In n cause in which they know that country is in the wrong , and the czar will be wise to consider the rep resentations that hnve been made. .Tho Press quotes an article which appeared as a local in The News on March 21 , 1892 , through which it is sought to make a point now against this paper. The peculiarity of this act Is that Mr. P. F. Sprecher had charge of the -local columns of The News in March , 1S02 , and that he him self wrote the identical item which lie now complains of. He was not only doing the local work on the paper but he acted as an adviser to the pub lisher , who was comparatively a stranger in town at that time. Mr. Sprecher. advised the taking of the Omaha advertising on the ground that local furniture men were not patron izing the paper , and when the adver tisement appeared he wrote the Item. Not satisfied with a simple statement of the fact that the work had been ac cepted , he could not withstand the temptation to sideswipe Chas. H. John son , with whom he had had trouble and whom he disliked as the devil hates holy water. And the publisher al lowed Mr. Sprecher full leeway , be cause he had confidence in him and it was believed that he was loyal to the paper for which he was working. Could it be possible that even that early Mr. Sprecher was laying plans to destroy The News and that he was Inserting items in its columns which he hoped to use against it in future years ? The continued nagging which The News has received at the hands of Mr. Sprecher during all the years since he left it has never done any especial harm , and really it has prob ably resulted in good. So by all means , let the "roasts" go on. People who patronize the city mall order house and the department store must bo convinced of the efficacy of centralization if they are consistent. They are certainly doing all that Is possible to substitute for 100,000 local merchants In all parts of the country a dozen or two large department houses , which , when they have achieved the culmination of the move ment may be expected to force the people to terms on merchandise to the same ex'tent that they are now subject to the dictates of the oil , beef and other trusts. The small cities and towns will not be known when the mercantile trust becomes fully or ganized nnd the people who want these small cities and towns are fre quently doing tholr best to bring about the other condition.

The poorest tiling you can offer a friend is an excuse. Two things a man puts off : Buy ing a lot In a cemetery and making a will. An Atchlson gossip confesses that she gets many of her best bits of news in the cemetery. Every automobile owner should take lessons in physical culture In order to be able to fight farmers. When there is a cyclone it means Mother Nature is cleaning house. She is violent , hut so are other women house cleaners. How is this for a lovely character ? An Atchison woman has named her little daughter for an old sweetheart of her husband's. A man was talking today and said : "All I want in a man is a little com mon sense. " Well , that is expecting- a good deal common sense. A woman Is very unfortunate if she hasn't any dear friends In her neighborhood and is compelled when she bonows to remember to pay It back. Joe Bowers was amused today by the sight of a green countryman on the streets. "You are as bad as I am , " the countryman said , "when you are in Chicago. " An Atchison saloon keeper is well known for Ills politeness. It is said that two drunken men went into the saloon and got into a fight.
