QiTema faeU. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 2. 1893. The school property of Fremont is valued at $116,100. The Standard Cattle Co. of Ames, has expended $35 an acre so far on its five hundred acre beet field. Lancaster and adjoining counties had good rain Tuesday of last week, which, it is claimed, saved their corn crops. The division of the French fleet com- minded by Admiral Humann, sailed Tnesday of last week for the gulf of Siam. Thebe are seven thousand idle men in ' Denver, many without food, and fifteen thousand people are directly affected by this idleness. Chicago has 5,812 saloons so that there would seem no reasonable doubt but you could provide yourself with .your favorite drink. Within a week Nebraska had three different men for governor Crounse, Erasmus M. Correll, president of the senate, and Lieutenant Governor Ma jors, the last assuming charge on Friday. C&abexce B. Jokes, a farmer near Cozad, was robbed Monday night of last week of $1,500 by two masked trampB. The money had recently been withdrawn from deposit in bank, and placed under the carpet. Leaving out Alaska, the United States aggregate about 1,800,000,000 acres of land. Secretary Seward's policy in the acquisition of that vast territory waB long since vindicated, if, indeed, it ever needed vindication. A district Methodist camp meeting will be held near Oakdale, August 17 to 27. Good hotel accommodations at low prices. Grounds supplied with plenty of fresh water. Orders must be sent in before August 10, to William Gorst, Neligh. Kansas Crrr proposes to enforce a law prohibiting railways from bringing 'paupers into the state of Missouri. The Omaha Bee remarks that so long as people are at liberty to walk over a state line, a law of this kind will afford no permanent relief, and that some other solution must be found. Judge Bbown of Laramie is out in a lengthy letter advocating the surrender of the government's claim on the Union Pacic, on the ground that the first mort gage debt (the government's is second), is so great that another road equally as good could be built for the money, and that if the debt is ever paid, it must be got out of the people along the line. by increased charges. Attobnet Generai Esglet of Col orado is out in an opinion that state de positories may issue certificates repre senting bullion stored therein, and suggests that it be receivable for taxes and other state dues, and to this extent relieve the present stringency in finan cial affairs. The governments, both state and national, are worth nothing if the property within their borders is Worth nothing. Among the exhibits at the World's fair is a large three-seated surrey run by electricity; a forge in operation, the ends of steel wires and rods being put together and clamped, a current of electricity applied, when the ends turn red, then white, then fuse, the welding being complete. Electricity will unite steel to iron, iron to copper, one metal to another, just bring them in contact and electricity will do the rest. At a low estimate, 500,000 honest, skilled laborers are now out of employ ment, and five times that number will be if the demands of the Chicago platform shall be enacted into laws, says the Inter Ocean. The president is a rich man and has his fortune placed beyond injury from Bilver laws or tariff. Per sonally he can fish and take it easy and draw his $50,000 a year salary, but there are multitudes of people, not so situated. The Ohio Campaign. The Ohio campaign, says the Toledo Blade, is running one way toward Mc Kinley. The democratic leaders are getting worried, and making desperate efforts to have a large attendance at their state convention at Cincinnati on August 7. But if 50,000 democratic heelers can be gathered there on that day, it will mean nothing. The honest voters of the state the farmers, the railroad employes, the members of the various trades unions, and other classes of workingmen, have had their eyes opened. Many of them voted the deino crtjc ticket last fall in order to have "a change," which they were assured would mean higher prices for work and grain, and higher wages for workingmen. They now clearly see that the fear of tariff tinkering has paralyzed manufac turing, reduced traffic, cut down domes tic trade, and thrown thousands of men oat of steady work, besides ruining wool prices. And they reason correctly that jf the possibility of tariff change does this, the actuality would be infinitely worse. Hfr" they propose to vote for yginlftv and eject him. Washington better. From our regular correspondent. It takes very lively hustling these days to keep up with the changes in the plans of the administration. The an nouncement was made months ago that the administration in conjunction with several eminent free-traders intended to prepare a tariff bill and that Secretary Carlisle's supposed knowledge on the subject was the principal reason for his having been made secretary of the treas uryhis best friends never claimed that he was selected for his financial knowl edge; they couldn't, because he had none. This was printed in all the ad ministration papers and was never denied until now, when Secretary Carlisle says that no tariff bill is being prepared, and that neither he nor President Cleveland ever "thought of doing anything which might be interpreted as an attempt to dictate to the house what it should do in regard to the tariff." He forgets, however, to tell why this statement was not made long ago, which makes the in ference clear that the free trade idea has been, for the time anyway, abandoned. Democratic congressmen have already begun to do some very plain talking to Commissioner Lochren about the whole sale suspension of pensions he has been making, and unless they are quieted in some way a number of them represent ing districts having a large number of old soldier voters will join the republi cans in bringing this matter before congress. There seemB to be a hitch some where in regard to the house committee chair manships. Inasmuch as Mr. Crisp's re election to be speaker has been a cer tainty for months past it is difficult to understand why there should be any delay in announcing the committees and it was not supposed there would be. Mr. Crisp's friends have been Baying since he waB here several weeks ago that he would arrange the committees before he returned and expected to announce them just as soon bb he took his seat as speaker; but, as I said, there seems to be a hitch some where, for these same men now say that he hopes to complete the committees within a week or ten days after congress meets. This sort of thing is mere child's play, and this announce ment is now made, not because Mr. Crisp does not expect to have the com mittee assignments all made when he comes to Washington, next week, but because he fears that the rows which will follow his having obeyed Mr. Cleve land's orders in making those assign ments will necessitate making some changes after he gets here before they are made public. Comptroller Eckels wants to be secre tary of the treasury that young man has gall and he is charged with having started the last rumor about the intend ed retirement of Secretary Carlisle be cause of a disagreement with Mr. Cleve land. Secretary Carlisle denies very em phatically the rumor which came from New York, that he had been tendered the vacancy in the supreme court caused by the death of Justice Blatchford. But when asked whether he would accept it if it were tendered to lam he was dis creetly silent, as becomes a man who would be very glad to let some other fellow hold up the financial end of the administration, if he could only read his title clear to a membership in the su preme court. His anxiety on the sub ject has not been lessened by the state ment made several days ago by a friend of Secretary Gresham, and not up to this time contradicted, that Mr. Cleve land had promised that the influence of the administration shauld be exerted to niako Gresham the democratic presiden tial nominee in 9G. Mr. Carlisle had been encouraging the bee to do a little buzzing around his head, but he knows there cannot be two administration can didates. MILLIONS FOH THE TKOTTRK. Marvelous Improvement in the Industry He cognized ly the Daily Press. The system of light harness racing in vogue in this country is purely an American institution. The present gen eration has witnessed a remarkable ad vancement in the development of speed. A yearling has trotted a full mile faster than any aged horse had ever been able to cover the distance before Flora Tem ple appeared. A two-year-old has made a faster record than any matured trotter had gone up to the time of Maud S. The extent of light harness racing in this country is not appreciated, even by the most interested, in its full signifi cance. In 1892 no leas than 1,931 race meetings were held, and the amount of money given in purses for trotters and pacers aggregated over $10,484,000. The racing season is confined to about six months, and during the height of the season there is no question that over half a million dollars are paid out each week to the owners of the winning horses. The industry has the credit of being represented by a score of turf journals which rank among the highest type of class publications. The daily press, however, usually the first to cater to the public taste, has signally failed to give the trotting meetings the attention they deserved, either through lack of facilities to handle the matter properly, or the inability to appreciate the magnitude and importance the industry has ac quired. The best reports and moBt complete that appeared in any of the large daily papers last year were probably found in the Inter Ocean, but they were far from containing the information that horse men, breeders and the public interested in this peculiarly American sport de manded. The Inter Ocean is the first of the large dailies to give proper attention to the above class of news. It has secured as trotting editor Mr. Don. D. Donnan, formerly eastern representative of Clark's Horse Review, and late associate editor of Western Resources, both dis tinctively trotting horse journals. He has a national acquaintance with breeders and trainers, having visited the leading stock farms from Maine to Cal ifornia, and his familiarity with lines of breeding and turf matters will establish the Inter Ocean as a thoroughly reliable authority upon trotting matters. Those interested in the light harness horse, other features being equal, should throw their influence in with the Inter Ocean, that the management of that paper may have evidence that there is a power back of the industry that is well deserving of recognition. Clark's Horse 1 Review, June 6. One of the very first maxims of a business life is, "Live within your means," "Don't spend more than you make," etc. Now, if this is applied to the nation, it would lead to the curtail ing of our purchases abroad, further than what we can liquidate with our own surplus products. Thus there would go co great quantities of our cir culating medium out of the country, and leave us a scarcity for ourselves. This would be a very effective answer to single, gold-Btandard advocates. It is the doctrine of protection to American interests, and if we settle upon a cur rency sound every way, flexible and abundant for our needs and thus per fectly acceptable to our own people.why need we wait for or be anxious about the approval of foreign nations? In other matters we are learning to be free from their dictation; the idea of reci procity has proven a good working rule for the nation if you don't want our hogs, we don't want your toys; if you don't wish to deal with us on terms mu tually fair, we can deal elsewhere we don't have to buy customers; if the money that is good enough for us does not suit you, don't receive it we'll find the more use for it at home. Suppose Europe should have a convention and say, "Corn shall not be used as food for men," muBt that be a law unto us, who know the value of corn and appreciate it? Who raise corn to use and to sell? C. H. Vaughn, the alfalfa man, and wife, returned to their Kansas home Tuesday morning. Mr. V. is now thor oughly satisfied that the soil in this section is peculiarly adapted to the cul ture of alfalfa. He had quite a tract of land sown with it in this vicinity at his own expense, and says: "As soon as it is thoroughly demonstrated that alfalfa is a success here, which there is not a particle of doubt, you will see things booming in Holt county as they never boomed before. Land that can now be bought for $10 per acre will go to $30 at one jump. Mark the prediction!" Graphic. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Businex and Religion. The chief points of Mr. E. von Bergen's address recently before the Y. M. C. A., were: trust in God and do right; we are neither made nor ruled by circum stances, it is a common fallacy that a man must lower his moral standard to the customs of the community in which he resides; true religion means business, it is not a mere sentiment or creed; we are not only to conduct our earthly busi ness ou christian principles, but also to practice religion on business principles; the first published words of Jesus were, I must be about my Father's business, and hiB last words on the cross, It is fin ished, during the twenty-oue years in tervening he made religion the chief bu siness of his life, but let it not le forgot ten that during eighteen of these years he served God as a layman, a carpenter, and during only three years as a preach er. As we see Jesus, the young carpen ter, sawing boards and doing good, "not slothful in business, fervent in spirit, ser ving the Lord," we are reminded that every other man has two departments of business to carry ou at the same time, two kinds that do not interfere with each other. While a man is diligent in busi ness, serving customers or employers, he may at the same time be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord by showing forth hon esty, generosity and Christ-likeness. To every one God has entrusted two branches of business. The signs over them are: "Seest thou a man diligent in business? Ho shall stand before kings: he shall not stand before mean men." "Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" The latter is the great wholesale department of every man's life, and our earthly business, how ever large, is but a retail store beside it. As young men especially we are apt to think that the catalogue of happiness and success is all written outhe back of bank bills, and some are willing to coin their hearts to increase their wealth. You look upon the rich man as the incarnation of satisfaction, the embodiment of suc cess, but happiness is the gift of God and cannot le purchased with money. Better to be a man than merely a millionaire. Better to have a head and heart, than merely houses and lands. Success in the sense of satisfaction is not found even in palaces of wealth, if Christ does not live with us there. The man who dies in the midst of bank books, unless his treasure and his heart are in heaven, really dies poor, for he goes to the other world bankrupt, taking nothing with him, not even a hope. Men whisper, How much did he leave? One answers, A million, another says, Two millions. God and angels answer more truly. Ho left all he had. Doing our best is success. Only eter nity can tell how far reaching is the re sult of doing our best, even in the quiet est spheres of life. Such successes will be inscribed on God's roll of honor, if not on earth's roll of fame. What are secrets of success that ma ture and prominent men offer from their experience and observation to young men to save them from the necessity of learning all in the hard school of experi ence? Of the many, I would only mention those of a successful New York publisher, which are: sterling integrity in all things; rigorous adherence to every promise; deal with every person as if you were cer tain of meeting him again, even though he is a passing stranger; be temperate in body; broaden your mind, and be come pure in heart. A sensible suggestion, now why not act upon it next year, all who can, far mers, especially? Instead of having the garden in the usual shape, let it be lon ger and narrower, and at each end leave a strip six feet wide nnplowed to turn upon. Seed this part to grass. Cab bages, beets, onionB and lettuce will grow in long rows, just as well as in beds; so will cucumbers, squashes and melons, if the rows are wide enough apart, while currants, raspberries and blackberries will flourish better for oc casional plowing. A much larger gar den than is usual can be readily atten ded by use of a horse, and save many an hour of hard work. This plan is recom mended by the Journal of Agriculture, which says that the farmer who has a garden large enough is the exception. Now is the time to subscribe for The Journal and the Semi-Weekly Lincoln Journal, both for $2 a year, when paid in advance. A New Opera House. Ed. JocBNAii : If there is one thing more than another that Columbus is badly in need of, it is an opera house. Our people enjoy a first-class entertain ment as much as any community, but they rarely ever have an opportunity of doing so on account of our having no house to which we can invite a good class of entertainments. We seldom have a good company here for this rea son, and when we have it is almost im possible for them to play to any advan tage and very uncomfortable for those in attendance. But it requires no argu ment to convince any one that we need an opera house badly, the question is who will build one, or can a stock com pany be formed that will erect a house such as will meet the demands of the amusement loving people? It certainly could be made a paying investment. This is a convention city; its railroad and hotel facilities adapt it to the com fort and convenience of all state and district assemblies between Omaha and Denver. And it has been no trouble to have conventions meet here, but it has been difficult, where the meetings were large, to find a place for them to meet. It seems to me that by a concerted effort something can be done already this summer. J. B. Wo offer an apology to "J. B." for holding the above article so long, but, to be honest, we could not satisfy our selves that the people of Columbus really wanted a new opera house. We notice the only occasions that our present house is at all well filled is when we have a rattling good entertainment with out any admission fee, but in all cases, no matter how good the entertainment promises to be, where 25 or 50 cents ad mission ib required, empty seats are visi ble on every hand. But there is room for entertaining a belief that with a new house, new scenery, new location, etc., a better show town might possibly be made out of Columbus. But read the note addressed to you and form your own opinion, and if you feel like saying a word in regard to the matter we offer you the opportunity. Y. M. 0. A. Notes. Harry Markell of Fremont was up to see us last week. M. H. Ivons and M. O. Mouat, two students from the Beloit, Wise, college, have been making the rooms their head quarters for the past week. The ice cream social given by the Y. M. C. A. last Wednesday was a success socially and financially; 226 couples par took of the refreshments, net proceeds $29.65. Don't forget, J. S. Miller, general sec retary of Grand Island, will speak at the park uext Sunday at 3 p. m.; bis subject will be "Wisdom, Man's Greutest Need." The secretaries' conference that was to have been held here on the 27th and 28th was postponed to some future day. The Y. M. C. A. boys helped to make the evening pleasant and profitable for the Colorado miners who stopped over Thursday night by giving them a song and praise service, which they enjoyed very much. One man said he had not heard the gospel for years. They were given a bundle of reading matter and went away thanking the boys for the interest taken with them. Colfax C'oHnty. From the Schuyler Herald. J Henry Binder, of Richland precinct, has just returned from an extensive trip through Colorado. Henry says that they have a pretty good country up there, but that it does not begin to com pare with Nebraska. John Lawrence, who was a resident of Colfax county way back in the seventies, is in the city. John has just returned from the far west and we understand that he intends to make his homo here in the future. Like all who came here he found no country that equalled this and in the end returned. Bath Donovan, of Colfax precinct, thinks that if the farmers of this county would raise an earlier variety of small grain that they would meet with much better success. He says that the wheat and oats that he raised this year are of an early variety and that he had his grain cut ten days before his neighbors commenced. There is a big advantage in this in as much as the early varieties of grain are out of the way before the dry hot winds come. Speeial Half Kate Excursion to World Fair, Chicago.
