aip ens of the government a subject
that is in every man's thoughts. One of
the main queries is, What is to be done
to get enough money to pay the running
expenses? And the people at large do
aot take kindly to any more issuing of

The opera house was filled and the
speaker was interrupted at frequent in
tervals with applause. His lecture,
"liberty of Man, Woman and Child," is
full of humorous anecdotes, and the
audience was kept in a pleasant frame of
mind during the whole lecture of the
famous agnostic
The speaker dwelt upon the trials and
tribulations caused by the religious in
tolerances, and said that Liberty was
bis religion. His lecture took op the
progress of the human race in regard to
mechanical, musical and other mental
improvements, and he asked why should
not the human race improve also in its

Mr. Ingersoll stated that true happi

Representative Livingstone of
Georgia who has recently visited Vene
zuela, and is interested in the boundary
dispute, has already introduced a reso
lution into congress which recites that
by a resolution of the last congress it
was recommended that the boundary
dispute be submitted to arbitration, that
the action was brought to the attention
of her Britannic majesty's government
by the president, courteously and with
kindly intent, and declares that her
majesty's government "has failed to give
the prompt consideration to the im
portant request contained in that joint
resolution or to answer the same in any
manner such as was due and becoming
to the dignity of the United States as a
great nation and to the friendly rela
tions existing between the two govern
ments." The resolution also recites that after
this communication the colonial secre
tary instructed the government of Brit
ish Guiana to take forcible possession of
certain territory of Venezuela involved
in the dispute, "an act which has been
officially declared to be the manifesta
tion of an unfriendly disposition toward
the United States."
In conclusion it provides for a joint
committee of two senators and three
members of the house to investigate the
facts and recommend proper action to

Congressman Mebceb is paying close
attention to the interests of his district

mint of the United States at Omaha, in
the State of Nebraska; to increase the

handed down an opinion sustaining the

FBEB TRADE ABROAD j
CNOLAND'S EXPERIENCE HAS
A LOSING GAME.
We have already sliowm how the an
anus toward tree trade is affecting-quite
umber of American industries; ako
how the brnuking down of our wall of
protection is enabling us to reach the
amarkets of the world. Let us row see
how it work in other countries. Taking
the United Kingdom, when free trade
has been longest in force, and her iron
aad steel iadustries. we mad. that the
imports aad exports of iron, steel, tin
plate, wire, hardware, coal and ma-'
chinery compare as follows for a period
of ten yean, from 1884 to 1894:
MS. um.

Total exports of iroa aad

Iaporta of iroa aad steel
wvuwSJ JZlvSuW 14r9
There has been bo wall of protectioa
the United Kingdom daring this
decade, and her manufacturers have had
every possible opportunity to let them
selves out into the markets of the world,
yet we And that the total British exports
of iron, steel, tin plate, wire, hardware,
coal and machinery combined decreased
by over $80,000,000 a year between 1884
andl8t4.
It would almost seem as if the absence
of a. wall of protection had worked en
tirely contrary to all free trade theories
in England's case, because it has enabled
the foreign manufacturers and producers
of iron, steel, tin plate, wire, hardware,
coal and machinery to sell hi the English
markets nearly $ 100,000,000 worth more
of their products and manufactures in
1894 than they did in 1884. Free trade
in England has increased the imports of
the above mentioned goods by nearly
20,000,000 and has decreased the ex
ports by more than 16,000,000. The
figures quoted are from the official board
of trade returns.
Taking the quantities of the English
exports we find that the United King
dom has sold under her policy of free
trade 840,000 tons less of iron and steel
in 1894 than she did in 1884. Her ex
ports of pig iron decreased by nearly
440,000 tons; of bar, angle, bolt and rod
iron by nearly 170,000 tons; of railroad
iron by 805,000 tons, aad of hoops,
sheets and plates she sold 219,000 tons
leas in 1894 than in 1884. Her exports
of railway carriages decreased in value
from 504,215 in 1884 to 277,000 in
1894. Her exports of railway trucks de
clined by 254,000, her exports of hard
ware and cutlery fell off by 1,800,000
within ten years, and her exports of
steam engines decreased by 1,100,000
a year. ,
The igih desire that we should
adopt their policy of free trade can hard
ly be so friendly a suggestion as our
English admirers would have us believe.
If it has resulted in sooh enormous losses
in business among the iron, steel, tin
plate, wire, hardware, coal and ma
chinery trades of the United Kingdom,
it is hardly a friendly act to encourage
ns to practice similar tactics that will
result in similar losses to the United
States.
While England has lost so much mon
ey and so much trade in these industries
during a few years of free trade, the
United States, on the other hand, under
its policy of protection, has built up
similar industries to an enormous extent
to such an extent that we are un
doubtedly buying less of these commodi
ties from our English neighbors and
have helped materially to diminish their
manufactures and their output Perhaps
this is the real reason why they wish us
to drop our policy of protection. It
would not be an entirely unselfish reason.

Reminiscences of Early Days in Platte
County.
Dear Journal: After a lapse of one
whole decade, I again pen a brief article
for your esteemed columns which I have
admiringly read for now nearly twenty-
six years, and since the first issue of
your paper.
In the spring of 1860 when I located
in Platte county, Columbus was a mere
stripling village, on the Great Desolation
92 miles west of Omaha, but the far-seeing
founders showed their discernment
in the location, the original design being
to ley the foundation of a city for the
future of central Nebraska, as' near the
junction of the great long, broad rivers
and valleys of the state as a suitable site
could be had. The space between the
rivers for four miles above the junction
is narrow and low, otherwise that would
have been the natural point, as the
course of travel and trade ia usually
down and up the valleys of every country.
Any one looking at the map of Ne
braska will see at a glance how admi
rably Columbus is situated, in reference
to what was anticipated to be the chief
commercial city of the interior of the
state.
Columbus was first settled by a small
colony of enterprising Germans from
Columbus, Ohio, and hence the name.
The town was laid out on a grand scale
in 1857. The company speedily erected
a large, two-story hotel and called it the
American House. Thousands of freight
ers, miners, pilgrims to Zion and tourists
to the boundless west remember well the
old bostlery, and ita lady proprietoress,
Mrs. Baker, afterwards Mrs. Wells, whose
name is yet familiar to the few remain
ing old settlers and their older children.
Without delay, also were put into'opera
tion two stores, a blacksmith shop, a
cobbler shop, a wagon repair shop, also
a saloon or place of rest, where' pies,
cakes and giDger-beer were furnished to
the wayfaring public.
Next in importance to the hotel and
the Loup ferry boat, and first in wonder
to every one, but especially the super
stitious aborigines, was the huge saw
mill (owned by Col. John Bickly) whose
great teeth continued for years to cut to
pieces the stately cotton wood groves that
adorned the banks and islands of both
the Platte and Loup rivers. It was said
of the Pawnees, when they first sighted
the mill in full blast, that they precipi
tately fled in dismay to their village
twenty miles away, reporting to their
people that an evil spirit had conspired
with the psle faces and had prepared an
engine of torture and destruction; that
the Demon had actually taken possession
of a portion of the territory; that it
breathed fire and hot breath from its
nostrils, and was eating great logs and
whole trees with its fierce and destruc
tive teeth. After many cautious ap
proaches by the bravest of their tribe,
and after repeated explanations by the
whites, they finally became reconciled.
This sight and experience was their first
realization of the great superiority of the
white race. That old mill served as a
decided civilizer by converting the trees
into building material, affording the new
settlers far and wide comfortable habita
tions, instead of the rudest "dug-outs."
In those early days the idea of span
ning the treacherous and ever changing
current of the Loup, with a substantial
bridge never entered any one's mind. In
1863, however, Uncle Sam, as a war
necessity, (for remember those perilous
and much dreaded times were then on)
built a pontoon bridge, and later on, in
the last sixties the U.P.RR company
erected a permanent bridge 1300 feet
long. These improvements forever dis
missed from the raging Loup the services
of the once noted rope ferry.
While speaking of early days in Ne
braska, I am constrained to record the
most eventful and perplexing wintry
weather of all the turbulent snowy sea-
I sons, -since tne advent or tae civnized
man west of the Missouri river. It wss
in the winter of 7 and '58. .The few old
residents of that period that yet remain
remember it with chilled recollections.
Snow fell to a depth of six and seven feet
on the level, in the Platte valley, and
remained on all winter. All travel by
wagon was completely suspended. There
was no getting about on foot except on
snow shoes, boards bound under the
feet like skates. All depressions in the
earth, even the ravines, were drifted full,
so that in many places snow was 15 to 30
feet deep. The little colony at Colum
bus would surely have starved out but
for the abundance of deer and other wild
game, it was impossible for wild animals
to escape through the deep snow from
their pursuers. Their chase and capture
afforded delightful and healthful sport,
as well as nourishment for the isolated
settlers. For want of food in their weak
condition, deer were often caught with
out the use of ball or powder. There are
a few men of that time who yet live, who
in their dire extremities that fearful
whiter attempted and accomplished the
daring feat of going to Omaha on snow
aaoaa, with hand sleds, returning with
floor, bacon aad groceries. They were

son of the Janey family living
about nine miles southeast of town, met
with a painfull accident one day last
week which resulted in the amputation
of his right thumb. He was at work
around a corn husker and shredder and
accidentally got his hand caught in a

resulted as above stated.

was a resident of this county prior to
1868, and who left at that time for the
west, was here one day last week. Ed.
now lives in Wyoming, and had not
heard from his brothers George and John
for several years, and expected to find
them still residents of Colfax county.
When he returned he went to Fred.
Barnholdt's place, in Richland, and
enquired about his brothers and was
surprised to find that George was living
in southeastern Kansas and John in
Alberta. He found very few who knew
him in the early days, and was of course
surprised at the great change that had
taken place in the last twenty-eight
years.

a stove pipe caught fire and the flames
were thus communicated to the wood

Friday week Sheriff Derby of Batler
county acting as coroner, empanelled a
jury to investigate into the death of J. F.
McGnrk, who had been operated upon
by Dr. F. Enfrlehard for piles. The
Darid City News says that the operation
was performed when IfoGurk. appeared
to be in unasaally good health, aad the
next day he died. He was put nadsr tae
iaiuenee of ether; tae opsratioa lasted
but a few saooads; he was placed ia bed.
I tae oat as oc ine news river. v-
from any paia which might follow the
operation; and too doctor shortly after
left for home. He had slum hered but a
Utile while whoa um wife aotsesd that
his breathing was very heavy, aad ao
rnming alarmed, she seat for the doctor
who, whoa ho came, tried to counteract
the action of the morphine, bat was
unable to do so. The News adds: "It
is seldom that a physician will adanaiw
ter ether or anything of that aataro
without having at least one other physi
eisn present, except in cases of emer
gency, where the condition of a patient
ia such that he should be attended to at
once. All the physicians testified to
this. This is the first-mistake that Dr.
Englehardmade, because of the fact that
he administered the ether and did the
work alone. According to the evidence
given by all the other physicians he
should have remained at least a short
time after he administered the morphine,
or at least left orders to be called, should
the patient's breathing become heavy.
Many of our citizens are somewhat bit
ter in their feelings toward Dr. Engkv
hard, and yet a similar result might have
occurred had there been a number of
physicians present. That is something
which can never be known, but that he
made at least two serious mistakes, there
can be no question, if we take the testi
mony given by other physicians as con
clusive evidence upon those two points.
Some of them stated emphatically that
they would not think of administering
an anaesthetic without having at least
one other physician present, except as
before stated, in cases of great emergency
where a patient must be attended to
quickly." The jury rendered a verdict
that the death was from the effects of
morphine administered.
