The influence of a good man ia felt long years after his departure from scenes of earth, not only by the record in printed words that he has left, bat in the influence upon the living with whom he came in contact, and in the never ending impress made upon character and thus transmitted to future generations. Many young persons, readers of The Journal, will remember W. P. Jones, late of the Normal school at Fremont, as one of their best teachers, and among the moat genial of men. He carried with him always, the halo of intelligence seeking to. benefit mankind. In the Evauaton (IlL) Press of the 7th, we no tice a partial sketch of his life, which contains a passage worth reproducing. It will be remembered thet Mr. Jones was founder and for many years presi dent of the Northwestern female college at Evanston, now an annex of the great university at that place. He was sent, in 1862, as consul to China by President Lincoln: "It was during his residence in the celestial kingdom that the old Chinese wall, whioh prohibited intercourse with other nations, waa broken down and the portals of the ancient empire opened and the wealth of early civilization blended with the progress and thought of modern times. While in China Mr. Jones was sent on a special mission .to Jrekin, which resulted in a settlement of the difficulty growing out of the opium war and the destruction of American property in Canton. Rev. Dr. Tal mage once said of Mr. Jones work as consul at Canton: 'No account of his life in China, and effort to do good to these people would be complete without a record of his efforts to have the surplus of the indemnity paid by China to the United States repaid to China in the way that would render to her the greatest and most permanent advantage.' "Returning to this country, Mr. Jones connected himself with the Chicago press; but longing for his chosen voca tion, that of a teacher, he assumed the presidency of the Fremont Normal school, Fremont, Neb., where, in the midst of his years of usefulness, he re ceived the final summons, leaving the precious memory of a life devoted to the elevation and betterment of his kind." In the spirit of his educational work, Mr. Jones always reminded us of Horace Mann, the justly celebrated president of Antioch college and a great moral force wherever he appeared. We think if Mr. Jones could have bad his health, he would have done untold good for the youth of Nebraska. Within less than a quarter of a cen tury the bulk of the nation's wealth has, by sharp practice, corporate exaction, combination and monopoly, been concen trated into the possession ot half a dozen uncrowned kings. The railroads of the United States, consolidated into half a dozen great systems, are practically owned and controlled by aa many bil lionaires. Jay Gould owna and controls the entire telegraph system of the Unit ed States, and several thousand miles of railroad. The Standard Oil monopoly, with its hundreds of millions of capital, practically controls the entire coal oil supply of America. Nearly every im portant industry is monopolized by syn dicates and trusts. Where American capital has not monopolized our indus trial establishments, foreign capital is rapidly buying up great concerns upon which our people depend for supplying necessary commodities. Bee. The First BUI. The first bill introduced in the senate thia session of congress came from Sen ator Sherman, and it waa aimed at the trusts. It is identical with the anti trust bill reported by him last year from the committee on finance. It declares all trusts unlawful; gives persona power to recover in courts whenever articles are advanced in value by combinations, and declares the officera of trusts guilty of misdemeanor. H the repnblicana in congress will just keep up thia line of action, the country will bless theai, and a turn will come in the tide, so that the men upon whom rests the prosperity ot the coun try, the toilers ia field, factory and shop, will get a goodly share of the wagea that properly belong to them. A. W. Hyatt, an old settler in Myrtle precinct, went to Oregon recently, and was so well pleased, with the country that he wrote back to his family to sell his stock, rent the farm, ahip their house hold goods and follow him. His orders were obeyed to the letter, bat by the time his family reached the new location ho waa so disgusted with the country, that they all tamed back and returned to aster county, leaving orders at the Oregon depot that whaa their house hold goods arrived to rebUl them to Ne braska, aad Mr. Hyatt ia agsia a resi dent of this coaaty.-Laidec.

He in duced them to leave in tho wee hours of the night and arrived here at daylight in the morning, having been out all night. If that had been some men those would have been dead horses before morning. Schuyler Sun. Sheriff Malion arrived at Fremont Friday with the murderers ot Pulsifer. of CrowelL They are Crist First and Charles Shephard. Shepbard was ar retted at Crowell by Deputy Sheriff King, and First on the west side ot the Elkhorn river by James Booth. Four teen well armed men protected the pris oners from being lynched by the crowd at Scribner. Neither of the murderers is over twenty-one years old. They have confessed to the crime to their captors. Senator Paddock, from the commit tee to audit and control the contingent expenses of the senate, to whom was re ferred the following resolution, reported it without amendment, and it was con sidered by unanimous consent, and agreed to: "Resolved, That the com mittee on organization, conduct and ex penditures of the executive department be, and it is hereby authorized to em ploy a clerk, who shall be paid the usual per diem salary of a committee clerk." We find among petitions presented in the senate, two by Mr. Paddock, of Ne braskans, resident in Oklahoma, praying for the organization of a territorial form of government therein; of citizens of Otoe county, Neb., praying that an ap propriation of 9100,000 be made for im proving the Missouri river, opposite Nebraska City. WashiagtoR Letter. From oar regular correspondent. Postmaster General Wannmaker pro poses to use all of the influence at his command to assist Senator Paddock in getting his bill passed, which provides for relieving the railway mail service from the operation of the civil service law. The bill which has already been introduced in the senate, stands a good show of passing, and some people think that Senator Vance's bill for the repeal of the entire civil service law may also be passed. Speaking of the civil service law Senator Paddock says: "I look upon the system as a humbug, which in its operation perverts the main idea of a republican form of government.' Sena tor Vance says on the same subject: "It is losing strength in both parties, be cause it has given no results that are creditable.' The first week of its existence congress did little else but organize, and there is little probability that it will get fairly- down to business until after the Christ mas recess. Very little can be done in the house before all the committees are appointed, but Speaker Reed announcing some of them before the holidays has done well better than the most of his predecessors. The biggest sort of a sensation was created at the capitol last Thursday by the announcement that C. E. Silcott, cashier of the sergeant-at-arras office of the house of representatives, had ab sconded with something like 975,000. It was particularly embarrassing to Mr. Leedom, the retiring sergeant-at-arms, who was just preparing to turn the office over to his newly-elected successor, Mr. Holmes. The money taken was thesal aries of members of the house, and just who will have to lose it is not yet set tled, owing to the slip-shod way this office has conducted its business for years. A committee of the house, as sisted by several expert accountants from the treasury department, are en gaged in making a thorough investiga tion of the sergeant-at-arms office, and their report, which k expected early this week, is anxiously looked for. Mr. Sil cott was brought here from Ohio by Mr. Leedom six years ago, and since that time it ia estimated that at least 930, 000,000 have passed through his hands. He owes his downfall to fast women and fast horses, a combination that rarely tails to ruin any man who follows them for any length ot time. A vigorous attempt ia to be made to get congress to take up and decide the question of the Columbus World's Ex position before Christmas. H it ia to be held ia 1892, time ia getting precious. Senator Edmunds, although not op posed to holding an Exposition to cele brate the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America, would prefer seeing the money spent in establishing a great National University.

Secretary Noble has given permission to 35 Sionx Indian chiefs to visit Wash ington. They went to talk to the presi dent about the sale of their lands, which they have recently agreed to. They are expected here this week. The committee on rules, which may virtually be said to control all legisla tion, consists of Sneaker Reed, Repre sentatives McKinley and Cannon, and ex-Speakers Carlisle and Randall. Secretary Windom's annual report to congress would have made his reputa tion as one of the ablest financiers in the country, if he had not been so rated be fore. It is a document that the ablest of his predecessors would have been jus tified in feeling proud of. Its crowning feature is the original and ingenious . . . system it proposes as a solution ot tho never ending controversy between the friends of gold and silver as a basis for currency. Everybody is talking about it, and doubtless those congressmen who pride themselves on their financial knowledge are burning tho midnight oil studying it Whether it will be adopted is a question that cannot be answered off-handed. No public man who values his reputation would commit himself for or against such an important measure without long and careful stndy. The president in his message, .merely calls the attention of congress to it, and then adds that he may at a later day send in n special message on the subject. Oconee. Corn husking is nearly over and the busy hum of the sheller is heard in the land. Our enterprising grain dealers, Dack k Wilson have the Oconee elavator full of corn to the top and the drive ways standing full of loaded wagons. They cannot get cars fast enough to supply their trade. Had Gerrard and Decker waited a short time, the war of words and blows over the use of a moving outfit under Gerrard's old drug store might have been averted, as the trucks are now broken down and the building stands on the prairie between Oconee and Monroe. Should it remain so located long enough no doubt some senator-elect together with a handful of farmers and some ex communicated business man will induce the railroad company to make another suburb to Columbus. Let the good work go on. The surprise birthday party on Mrs. A. L. Dack was a brilliant success. We were unable to obtain a full list of the presents, but they were profuse and choice. The band furnished choice mu sic during the evening. We learn that Daniel Mnrdock, our combined farmer, fast horse breeder, dairyman, cattle feeder, principal stock holder of the .Oconee elevator, coal deal er and president of the Oconee soap factory, has purchased a two hole pow er corn sheller for his own shelling only. Dan says he can make money at raising corn at fifteen cents a bushel and hogs at 93 a hundred, and he has tried it long enough to know. Herman Shaffer is still nursing a bad ly bruised hand, caused by too close con tact with the two ends of a pair of steel rails. The Christmas tree to beat the church Christmas eve will be a succest.

The seed is worth at the present time a little over three dollars per bushel. Quill. Their BasiseaM Boeaiias;. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at David Dowty's drug store as their giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption. Their trade is simply enormous in this very valuable article from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints.

Parents should be careful that their children do not contract colds during the fall or winter months.
