The Zionists may got to Jerusalem mid reclaim It as their own , but they have n peculiar way of starting , nnd If they continue as they start they arc liable to jar the old city to Its foundations. Ttussla might give Its consent to Norway setting up housekeeping for Itself If 'a generous sllco of Its back yard could be fenced off for the big empire's exclusive benefit In the fu ture. If advertising can make n race meeting a success against some very powerful odds , there should have heen nn overflow attendance at the Delmur truck , In Missouri. The Chicago teamster's strike hns had lives thnt would put the ordinary cat to shame with her string of nine , but It Is to bo hoped by Iho public gen erally that the last has now been 1 shullled off. The Chinese boycott on American goods has not mnde It nny easier for j smugglers to get "chinks" Into the j I country. Thirteen wore arrested the j | I other dny nt 131 Pnso and will probably bo deported. Russia hns reminded Mr. Snto of the fact that It is a civilized nation.

The race Is on to see which maga zine can soil the most the ono with Tom Lawson's thunder In or that eon- talnlng Miss Tarbell's character study. Doth of the rlvnl writers have been very generally nnd generously adver tised. There is n suspicion that someone smarter than a Chinaman is back of thiS boycott of American goods busi ness. It looks almost American-like itsolf. It could not bo possible thnt it Is another rivalry between the Chicago department stores ? The czar hns braced up his back bone long enough to declare that Itus- sia will never submit to "shameful" pence terras. Japan will probably undertake to see thnt strictly honor able means are open toward the ne gotiation of a pact In Us estimation. Governor Folk hns succeeded In making such a record In Missouri , thnt President Roosevelt hns voted him worthy of nn autograph copy of "Tho Strenuous Life. " 'if the president should decide to send copies to nil Americans who believe In a strenuous life his supply would soon bo depleted. Sometimes it Is cruel to bo kind. Automobiles have been provided for the use of the peace envoys from Rus sia and Japan , and it may prove that an Intended kindness will turn to dis . aster nnd that there will be no peace > treaty because of the death or incapa . city of the envoys from the use of the machines. A New York centenarian gives credit for his age and health to the fact that he has eaten but two meals a day. If ! two imnlft a day are more healthful than three , It would seem logical thnt one a day , or none at all , mint be better thnn either , mill people have been known to die nt n very young nge when no menls at all wore eaten. A Lincoln man has found that to saturate dogs with gasoline nfler pine- Ing them In the cellar and afterwards Inspect them with a lighted lantern Is n sure cure for liens.

It Is pro posed to help out Undo Sam's finan ces by Increasing the tax on beer nnd placing a small tax against coffee , lloth nro useless , both nro luxuries , and the. government feels that no Rront distinction should be made be tween the beer guzzler and the coffee toper. Poito Hlco seems not to know when It IH well off or It would never want to bo anything else but a portion of the United States. The southern states nt ono llmo desired to bo Inde pendent , but they are now proud and happy to bo counted IIH nn Integral part of this great republic , ami maybe bo considered reasonably thankful that their whim did not prevail. While It IH possible that there will be no prosecutions of the men alleged to bo In the Nebraska grain dealers' trust , It IH probable that relief will come about In another way the dis solution of the combination. Several of the leading firms nro said to have already withdrawn and ( hero may be n general withdraw ] If the other par ties to the deal become sulllclnntly frleghtened. The fnct that Mr. Urynn is said to be desirous of searching Europe for Ideas on good government Indicates that the democratic nud populist plat forms of the past , said at the time to bo perfect In every detail , are found to hnvo been lacking In several not unimportant details , though the lack has not yet been acknowledged by the members of the party who brought them into existence. . In spllo of the fact that laborers and Hlillled workmen are quite In de mand In various parts of the country the genus hobo Is found In quite largo and annoying colonies In the different towns and permanent relief for the nuisance Is desired , llurglarles , rob- borles , potty thievery or ordinary beg ging nro more to the liking of this class nnd it would be n line thing for someone to Invent a successful remedy. lloeh's agony of suspense scorns only to have been prolonged by the action of his woman friend who found she ' I had the necessary amount of money to carry his case to the supreme court. It Is stated thnt If he does succeed in getting n favorable decision from the supreme court trials other charges supreme court trials on other charges await him , ono of which Is very apt to cause his punishment In the man ner decreed bv the lower court. To deal with a crop failure nnd n famine would seem to bo the last thing needed to finish the job and wind up Itussin , but it Is officially de nied that conditions are as bad as have been represented. The official denial In Husla , howovcr , hns como , to bo looked upon with some sus picion nnd the agricultural department will need to establish n better record than the army and nnvy otllces If It is to have things believed as they nro said. London and Paris look to President Hoosovolt to do more thnn introduce M.Vltte nnd Baron Komura , which should end his part in the undertaking for pence. They expect him to see to it thnt terms nro agreed upon. It Is n heavy responsibility , but Americans and all others who know the president , ex-poet to find him in just that position should It be found that some outside party , friendly to both nations , could prove of advantage. j The latest gang of joint smashers in Kansas was composed of farmers' wives to the number of a double quar- | tet. It was not supposed that there i were many farmers' wives In Kansas or nny other state with sufficient time to spare to develop Into first class joint smashers. Such reformers us- unlly come from the towns where the women sometimes have more time jthnn money. The fact that the In dustry smashcm were farmers' wives Is n funsntlon In Its way If people can unitedly think hard enough that n certain event Is to hap pen , there IH every possibility thnt It will hnppen , nnd Just now some sort of Influence Is getting to w/ork / to con vince the public tliit | there Is to be another great tun ) strike next year. Porhnps , however , It Is just liitendod to ho In Iho Interest of thy wliolo oonl mining fraternity , to linUu'o the people to buy tliolr winter's ' supply of fuel enrly or to afford an excuse for nn nd- unco In prices of some dimensions.

The next time the fever Is ro- lorted down and out something In the way of confirmatory evidence will bo required. Fremont Is endeavoring to become [ ixtrn good on Sundays. For some lime n movement IIHH been under way to prevent the playing of Sunday ball Barnes , but not with entire success. Now a member of one of the churches who owns a creamery has been noti fied to stop churning on the Sabbath. No movement has yet been made to have the ministers and the housewives quit ono of tholr hardest day's work ) f the week , but this may follow If the reform movement Is carried to the limit. - ! - Secretary of Agriculture Wilson says that he has no Immediate Inten tlon of resigning his portfolio , and the Interviews having been given out from Oyster Hay makes It look very much as though the president wns In formed on the subject nnd hns no in tention of asking his resignation. The politicians have been unusually busy during President Roosevelt's term In making and unmaking his cabinet , but there Is a limit to all things and It Is possible thnt they hnvo found the end of tholr manipulations. A grand jury has Indicted the presi dent nnd all the members of a village board In Illinois for permitting the operation of saloons In a prohibition community. At the rate the grand Juries are picking up business It Is not alone United States olllcials and trust magnates who may fear them , but persons In every walk In life will need to have a'care that they do not fall in their clutches and get hurt. Un less the juries are different from some ordinary courts , however , It is possible that for the offense committed , the smaller fellows will get worse punish- nont than the greater ones. The populist state committee meets In Lincoln today to consider whether or not It will pay to attempt to call the remaining faithful few In state convention , and If so on what date the attempt will be made to assemble the delegates. The demo crats think that they will bo able to muster their forces In convention without the formality of a committee meeting , the chairman of the party organization having written for the views of the various members of the committee. The whole fusion matter appears to be rather half-hearted at this time , but it Is possible that they may be able to stir up some excite ment later In the campaign. It Is declared that some of the coun try road overseers and town street commissioners have found a rule that works bettor than a law to prevent the scorching of nutomobillsts or the fast driving of tennis , by making at set dis tances places In the roadbed that will bump like all get out when going nt n high rate of speed , but can be pass ed safely and comfortably at a moder ate speed. It Is a great temptation to Rcorch , without doubt , when a smooth and level track opens up before the prospect of a person In a carriage of any kind and there may bo a great deal of good horse SPUSO in removing such temptation even though the road is not quite ns good ns though it had no bumps whatever. The person who can bring a thou snnd or fifty thousand dollars Into a town or community to be placed in general circulation there Is n benefac tor of that place and should be so honored. The same may be said of the influence thnt would hold dollars that were before spent in some other lo callty. The greatest known present day loss to a community is the money that is sent to the department stores nnd mail order houses for things that may be bought at home and the per son or group of persons who can suc ceed In stopping this leak are bone- fnctors of their kind. Some pntrons think thnt only the merchants are him. but If they will look deeper and mnrk the record they will find thnt when they think they are saving a ew cents they nrs losing dollars ln tend. It Is the money spent at home hat builds up towns , mnkcs business nd raises property values nnd the orHoi ) who In selfish should jealously jiard his homo Interests.

If eastern people will but under- Bland that Nebraska Is having a sur- ilun of rainfall during August , and that similar conditions prevailed during Tuly , the two driest months of the ear for all sections of the country , hey should bo able to got into their heads the faintest notion that Nobras- ui has been as far removed from Irouth conditions as any agricultural state In the union. It has been many cars since the farmers of Nebraska mvo been touched by anything re sembling a drouth , on the contrary hero bus for a number of years been oo much rain to bring about the best results. A visit to Nebraska In Aug < ist , the driest month of the year , will convince the most skeptical of the ruth. Nebraska Is in the certain : rep slates and doesn't intend to get nit to please the notlonate people of the cast. The board of governors of Ak-Snr nen , the Omaha fall festival , have ordered advertisements placed in 300 inpers tributary to the Nebraska me tropolls , this to take the place of bangers that have been used In the pnst. The governors seem to know how to place themselves solid with the editors and publishers , and at the same time renllze what form of nd- vertlslng will bnvo the best effect , In vestment considered , nnd reach the grentest number of people. Other en terprises might do worse than follow the example of the Omaha people. If , for Instance the vnrlous county fnlr nssoclntlons would use part of their advertising appropriations in news paper spnco and not ask it of the pub Ushers for a few compllmentarlcs they might find the change valuable In the amount of Interest nnd attendance encouraged on the part of the people. The society people of Topekn , Kan sas , are aroused over the presumption of n negro who has purchased a home adjoining the governor's mansion. As long ns the man had the money and the owner wns willing to sell It is difficult to see how he could be pre vented from buying where ho chose , nerely because his skin may have a larker hue than that of some mom- lers of the protesting society. His statement that he and the governor .vill got along famously nnd exchange lot biscuits over the back fence does not seem to make the position of the Topeka critics any more likely to re- lilt in permanent good. Naturally It would hurt to see n negro sling on more style thnn some of the white folks could possibly afford , but money will do surprising things very fre- liiently , nnd it cannot possibly be iclped that it does. Money hns placed boors higher In the soclnl scale than some of America's most fnmous literary or scientific men could hope to nttnlnjnit that is not all there s to it , and if the society people of Topekn depend upon white skins for position they may well trembol at what the action of Nick Chiles may bring forth.

His record of putting out of the way a dozen erse so of wives would make it impossible for men to give their sympathy , but if it had been twice as many some other woman would have found bum- itnrinn reasons for doing awny wither or postponing his execution. The wo men always have been nnd perhaps always will be the ones to give sym pathy and help in the hour of a man's distress , whether he is a murderer or just n plain blgmlut. It Is n trait of their character thnt hns nnd will con tinue to spoil men , but they would not hnvo them without It for more thnn the vnluo of n dozen lives like Hoch's.

Mr. Lyford is more of a business man Ihnli n pulltlcnn , but his Interest in school work eminently qualifies him for the office nnd It will bo of nd-1 vantngo to the educational Interests of the state to have him nominated and elected.

ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. We don't believe there is much dif ference between "tending" the baby nnd "minding" It , as the old fashioned woman used the terms. When the average man moves to another town about the only bridges he has to burn behind him Is the sellIng - Ing of his old household trash. There was a rooster pecked woman on the street this afternoon ; she car ried a big fat six months' old baby , and her husband walked beside her carrying her little fancy pocketbook. We hope you will notice that it is the president's daughter who is hav ing a good time and that the presi dent's sons are not attracting any more pti ntiou t"ii ! ua\tng brlel : \ girl > ' ays s'tsav's bin a boy doesn't gr > t hat he cills his'n.

Crippled Engine Fixed up and Taken to Omaha Yesterday Afternoon No Damage to Boiler or Cab Fortunate - , > ate No Lives Were Lost , ) | j , The engine of the Union Pacific- ' freight , BOlng south Snttirdny afternoon - , noon \VftB wrecked nt a point about n j ( tntle below Norfolk , while the train was going at n fair speed. It Is one- j of the most peculiar accidents that 1 hnppen to railway rolling stock. The 1 great driving wheel nxlo , some six or eight Inches In diameter , was cut off ' between the bearings and the wheel I ' ( ns though It hnd been snipped through1 with a pair of cutting pliers. For sometime , months perhaps , there has' been n break In the grent piece of steel , shown by the accident , undiscoverable - coverable before , nnd but n couple of Inches of good , metnl hns served to hold It until the break occurred. When' the monster machine went down It ' threw Into the mud on one side of the * ] right of way the great driving wheel.- It bent and twisted the great rods and' cranks nnd splintered the hardwood ! footboard above. To get the train back to town It was necessary to send to Columbus for n wrecking crew nnd nil dny yesterdny machinists worked on the machine , blocking the crippled trucks up from the track so that It could bo towed into the shops at Omaha. It was taken out by the wreck ers yesterday afternoon , the great weight of engine and boiler resting on one sot of driving wheels whore it formerly had throe , and upon the small wheels under the front of the boiler. It was a fortunate accident fn its- way. Usually , when there is a break : in the driving wheels or the connect ing rods , the boiler is battered up and probability is thnt the great swing of loosened steel will slice off the side of the cab , with death and disaster for the man on the seat. In this case It was the left side and therefore the- fireman who was threatened. The- engine , boiler and cab were not in jured , in fact show no marks of hav ing been touched by the flying metal. The force of the break threw thinsrs away from the train and the bending and breaking of great pieces of steel showed what would have happened had. they swung in , instead of out.
