Tho progress of tho country from a dom

remarkable Tho markotsof tho world

One of the most humorous statements
now going the rounds of the press is
that Admiral Dowoy is coming homo to

Strikes rarely occur under a demo
cratic administration Men never strike
-when soup houses are dispensing free

They begin to make demands not when
men are hunting jobs but when jobs
are hunting for men It is under re
publican administrations that the latter
is true Strikes ore incidental to an era
of rising prices and advancing wages
such as is being enjoyed at the present
time under the wise and beneficent laws

faithfully executed by William Mc

Foundations in Peril
For nearly a week past this commun
ity has been stirred to its very depths by
rovelatious of such a character that they
havo brought the blush of shamo to the
cheek and kindled the fires of wrath
and indignation in every truo breast
againBt tho participants of a deed bo vile
as to bo nameless
The News was prompt to speak of tho
ugly rumors afloat last week and has
nothing now moro than it had nt the
timo when it first alluded to tho theme
of palliation or excuse to offer in behalf
of thoso who were charged with the
shamoful offense
It is said that thoro is no law under
which prosecutions can be mado against
tho parties concerned If it is true then
there is certainly something very seri
ously wroug with tho statutes of Ne
braska There is a common ground
upon whioh nil men who havo any re
gard for thoso committed to their caro
cau stand That placo tho people of
Norfolk havo reached Thoy may differ
as to many other things but thoy are
agreed us ono man that such debauchery
and lust as is charged in this case is not
to bo condoned or further tolerated
Somo ono has said that The hearth
stono is tho foundation stone of tho re
public A community can afford loss
of property it may bo obliged to meet
some awful visitation of death or disas
ter which shall bring Badness and sor
row All these may havo thoir compen
sations but thoro cau bo nono for
tho withering blighting influence
of thoso who lost to all sense of personal
honor or manly impulsos would undor
mino and destroy not only life but
character Tho charges made in this
case are too loathsome to coutemplato
Tho parties to them should be given a
fair and full opportunity to offer any
testimony they may havo to offer but
the fact that they have left the town is
in itself presumptive evidenoo of their
guilt The News has no desire to pre
judge any case It believes that in a time
like this candor good sense and a judi
cial temper should prevail but never
theless the spirit of the people which
demands that justice bo meted
out and that a ban be placed
upon those who outrage public decency
is a credit to the manhood and woman
hood of Norfolk and an honor to a peo
ple whose sons and daughters are their
dearest possessions However much or
however little truth there may be in the
allegations made a legal prosecution in
some form ought to be possible It
would do more than anything else can
do to purify the moral atmosphere It
would make our streets safe places for
pedestrians it would put a stop to tho
boastings of lewd fellows of the baser
sort over their escapades i t would show
to all the world that Norfolk as a law
abiding city insists that such damnablo
beastliness is neither to be counte
nanced nor condoned

1809 Mr D W Greono Norfolk
Nob Doar friend No doubt by this
timo you begin to think I havo entirely
forgotton yon but far from it for I havo
often wondered where you aro in your
long drives and how you nro getting
along
I hnvo just simply neglected to write
sooner as ono is npt to do whilo in tho
army and ns fully occupied as wo havo
boon slnco wo arrived hero If I only
had tho timo and ability to put into
writing ono half that wo havo soon nnd
experienced sinco wo camo horc it
would bo nn interesting story but I con
fess my innbillty to do tho subject jus
tlco so you must bo contont with tho
short sketch that I may bo nblo to givo
you of our lato unpleasantness with
tho insurgents
On tho ovonlng of March 21 tho second
division of which tho First Nebraska is
a part took up position on north line
whon nt G 30 a m five regiments of us
formed into skirmish lino At tho
sound of tho buglo we movod forward
but had not gono far when wo encount
ered tho onomys outpost which oponod
flro upon us and which was returned by
our troops with a good will and in short
ordor wo had them headed for Malolos
But not until thoy had 1 1 of our regi
mout wounded Fortunately for my
company nono of us woro hit Tho
fighting continued clear into thoir so
called capital which we reached after
six days of awful hard tramping We
drovo them from trouch to trench thoy
holding their positions only until we
got in rango with our Springflolds
when wo would givo them a few volley
then somo rapid fire and they were off
Thero was one time though that they
becamo brave and made a charge on the
First Nebraska Wo turned the tables
on thorn killing about 20 and wounding
many moro Wo had seven wounded
in this attack among which was my
captain Jens being shot through the
bone of tho right arm by n Mauser ball
causing a painful but not dangerous
wound Ho will be back with our com
pany soon
Tho last death in my company was
my bunk mato Sergeaut Arthur H
Vickers He was wounded in battle
tho day before Malolos fell boing shot
in tho loft thigh He lived three days
I saw him fall but could not speak nor
get to him at that moment for wo were
under a heavy Mauser fire and I was in
charge of tho second platoon and ad
vancing by rushes ns favorable oppor
tunities offered nnd you know by ex
perience that every man is busy at such
a time
The troops havo been doing but little
lately except holding tho ground since
taking Malolos thereby giving the boys
a much needed rest We have no
idea now what the next move will be
The volunteers seem to be doing nil the
fighting nnd we have had our fill of it
during the last month I am well and
enclose photograph of myself Please
Bay hollo for me to my friends in Nor
folk and elsewhere if you meet them
I hope to hear from you soon and per
haps to see you in the near future
Very truly your friend

From Wednesdays Dally
Tho piano recital at tho Congrega
tional church Inst evening given by tho
pupils of Mr Ludwig Koeuigstelu was
a brilliant success
Every seat in tho auditorium aud uu
nox was occupied nnd an appreciative
nudionco enjoyed a delightful evening
of musical entertainment
Tho pupils of Mr Koeuigstelu at first
conquer tho mechanical and technical
diflicultios that piano playing presents
and fully demonstrated that most effic
ient work has boeu accomplished and
that piano thumping is no longer con
sidered tho proper thing
Boforo it is at all possiblo for him to
express his real inner musical feeling
boforo musical emotional feeling can be
adequately oxpressed thero must bo a
Bympathotio communication between the
musicians braiu and finger and herein
lies tho success in the art of piano pluy
ing
It is hardly necessary to say that in
ordor to succeed as a teacher ono must
possess technical skill general musician
ship and a nntnrnl aptitude for impart
ing knowledge to others and it is the
unanimous verdict of thoso who were
present last evening that Mr Koenig
stcin possesses this knowledge to a rare
degree

Women Should Know It
Many women Buffer uutold agony and
misery because tho naturo of their dig
easo is not correctly understood They
have been led to believe that womb
troublo or female weakness of somo sort
is responsible for the many ills that be
set womankind
Neuralgia nervousness headache
puffy or dark circles under the eyes
rhumatism a dragging pain or dull ache
in tho back weakness or bearing down
seusation prof u so or scanty supply of
uriuo with strong odor frequent desire
to pass it with scalding or burning sen
sation sediment in it after standing in
bottle or common glass for 24 hours are
signs of kidney and bladder troublo
The above symptoms aro often attrib
uted by the patient herself or by her
physician to female weaknesss or womb
trouble Hence so many fail to obtain
relief because they nre treating not the
dseaso itself but a reflection of the pri
mary cause which is kidney trouble
In fuct women as well as mon are
made miserable with kidney aud bladder
trouble and both need the same remedj
