The world does move, and even the
east is beginning to acknowledge that
the west contains some of the elements
of progress and occasionally gives evi
dence of the fact in a way not to be dis
puted. The Philadelphia Press says:
The Oregon by her trial trip has
reflected the utmost credit on her build
ers. Fifteen years ago no one believed
that war ships could be built on the
Pacific coast The Oregon shows that
the best work of the world can be equal
ed and outdone there. The mere speed
of the Oregon has been surpassed by
English battleships, but their trials were
not conducted in the surf of a high sea
in the open ocean. For the Oregon to
have achieved all that she did under
these conditions will attract the atten
tion ot the world."
The political situation in the United
States on the eve of the presidential
nominating conventions is admirably
covered by the June Review of Reviews
in its departments of "The Progress of
the World," "Current History in Carica
ture," and "Record of Current Events."
Prospective oonvention-goers will be
greatly interested in Dr. Shaw's sketch
of St. Louis. With all due concessions
to Chicago, Dr. Shaw succeeds in making
out a strong case for the Missouri town.
Among other interesting facts, he shows
that St. Louis is now more thoroughly
under Republican control than any other
of our larger cities, not even excepting
Philadelphia. His article is copiously
illustrated; there is an excellent view of
the convention hall, with a diagram of the
seating arrangements.
The Kansas City Star says that the
people living in the northeastern part of
the city are fearful of a plague of seven
teen year locusts. Thousands of these
voracious insects have come out of the
ground and are feeding on the foliage of
the trees. The eggs are deposited be-
I-4Im iwrr vlw-i
ground and are hatched quickly. A man
observed 6ome small holes in the ground
and, turning up a spadeful of earth, he
found ten locusts almost ready to take
wings. He pursued his investigation and
discovered that the ground was fairly
alive with locusts of all degrees of devel
opment, from the grub to the winged
insect. He filled a bottle with live lo
custs and brought it to the Star office.
He says that the pests are increasing rap
idly in numbers. The wings of the lo
custs are marked with lines making the
letter "W,"wliich is a peculiarity of the
seventeen year species and is said to be
a sort of prophecy of war.
RAILROADS FIGHTING GRAIN MEN.
Far Overcharges Replied to la
Iowa.
Sioux City, June 2. In the case of
William Smiley against the Omaha, one
of the largest suits brought by the
Grain Dealers' association of northwest
an Iowa against the roads accused of
making overcharges on grain shipments
to Chicago, the road filed in the federal
court a plea in abatement, alleging that
it is a Wisconsin instead of an Iowa
corporation and that the action should
have been brought in the federal court
for the western district of the former
state. A similar attempt to nonsuit all
the cases will be made by the other de
fsadant roads.

Portland, June 2. Returns from
the elections held in Oregon yesterday
are coming in slowly. From present
appearances the legislature will be Re
publican by a large majority. The Re
publicans have 12 holdover senators in
the legislature, the Populists 2 and
Democrats 1. The Republicans, there
fore, will have to elect only four sena
tors out of 15 in order to have a major
ity in the senate. The Republican state
central committee claim 12 out of the
15, leaving only six senators to the Pop
ulists and Democrats out of a total of
90. In the last house the Democrats
were not represented and the Popnlists
had onlv four members out of 60. It is
conceded by the Democrats and Popu
lists that Bean, Republican.for supreme
judge, will have at least 5,000 plurality.
Tongue, Republican, for congress in the
First district, is undoubtedly elected.
In the Second district for congressman
the contest is close and complete returns
will be required to decide. Indications
are that ex-Governor Pennoyer has
been elected mayor of this city.

This is the first time the Pennsylvania

Detroit, June 2. Much preliminary
work is in progress in anticipation of
the first commercial tariff convention
(nonpartisan) which begins a week or
10 days' session this afternoon. A con
siderable number of delegates arrived
today, among them men who are vitally
interested in eliminating questions of
tariff from politics and placing them in
the realm of commercial subjects. The
discussions will be confined strictly to
the business feature of tariff affairs and
political speeches will not be permitted.
The delegates present will represent
commercial and labor and not political
organizations.

that the marines return to their ships.
lieutenant Baker of the Alert received
the message and sent a reply asking for
a written request from President Zelaya
or some member of his government.
Metnta evidently had not authority and
he returned to Metaya highly offended,
after writing Lieutenant Baker a note
full of self eulogy, telling of his great
mess and pointing our what pygmies all
other persons were when compared to
him.
Headaraaa Taaght a I. saw.
About 11 o'clock iu the morning on
May 3-General Metuta again appeared
at Corinto with aboat 80 Honduraus
and proceeded toward the custom house.
General Metuta after a parley with the
young lieutenant in command of the
British marines, was allowed to pass
, wih Wlne of hia to the headqttar.
ten of Lieutenant Baker. There he
stated he had come with authority from
General Bonilla, commander of the
Honduran allies of President Zelaya of
Nicaragua, to occupy Corinto and to re
lieve the foreign marines from protect
ing the property of the government of
Nicaragua. It was not then known in
Corinto what great outrages the Hon
dnran soldiers had committed on
women and girls at Elvayjo, nor was it
known they had destroyed a great deal
of property while occupying that place
daring the past two months, or General
Metuta's reception might not have been
as pleasant as it was. However, Lieu
tenant Baker signaled for Com
mander Hauford of the Alert and
Captain Dyli of the British cruiser
Comus, who soon arrived at the custom
house. For an hour or so they patiently
listened to Metuta's blaster, but when
he threatened to occupy Corinto with
out waiting for President Zelaya's or
ders, although the hitter was only about
80 miles away, the American and Brit
ish commanders decided to teach the
Honduraus a lesson. A few sharp or
ders were given and the American and
British marines, fully armed and
equipped, were drawn' up at their differ
ent stations, ashore; the Alert was
signaled to steam up opposite the cus
tom house and the common was cleared
for action. These preparations had a
calming effect upon Metuta. He began
to apologise as energetically as he had
at first attempted to bluff, promised' to
retire with his troops if the American
and British commanders would permit
him. Finally it was agreed that Gen
eral Metuta and his soldiers should be
allowed to come in out of the hot tropi
cal sun and roost upstairs iu the tele
graph office. But they were warned to
keep quiet and to behave themselves
until advices were received from Presi
dent Zelaya.
Tarmed Ovar to Xlearagaaae.
A train, at about 5 p. m., arrived at
Corinto from Chinaudega, bringing
about 60 Nicaraguan soldiers under
General Emilio Hierara, with a letter
from General Aurelius Estrada, a close
personal friend of President Zelaya and
commander general of the civil depart
ment of the republic. The letter was
addressed to the United States consul
at Corinto notifying him General Hier
ara had been appointed commandant at
Corinto and assuring him and the com
manders of the United States and Brit
ish warships that Hierara was an hon-
a niTldfnt mn waliaUft man vehn I
would protect
lire and property and
that Corinto might be turned -over to
him with safety as the representative
of the legal government of Nicaragua.
General Bonilla, vice president of Hon
duras, also reached Corinto by the same
train aud at a conference with Com
mander Hanford, Captain Dyke and
General Hierara apologized for the con
duct of General Metuta. Terms were
agreed upon and about 9 a. in. May 4
Corinto was turned over to the Nicara
guan force. When President Zelaya
was informed of the occurrence he at
once telegraphed his appreciation aud
approval to the American legation with
his thanks and later telegraphed an in
vitation to Commander Hanford and
Captain Dyke and their officers to visit
Managua and en joy the hospitality of
the government of Nicaragua.

London, June 2. "Kid" Lavigne
fought Dick Burge last evening before
the National, Sporting club for the in
ternational lightweight championship
of the world, a purse of $3,500 and a
aide purse of $2,500. Lavigne won in
the 18th round. The fight was to be
limited to 20 rounds. Every seat for
the eveut was sold several weeks ago
and the National Sporting club was
very much crowded with a fashionable
attendance to witness the fight Burge
was a strong favorite and his friends
were willing to lay Ms of 2 to 1 on
him to any amount. As a matter of
fact fancy bets were laid in many in
stances at much greater odds. When
the pair entered the arena and shook
hands Barge's superiority in stature
and reach were especially noticeable.
Both men were well inside the stipu
lated weight, which was 188 pounds.
LaTlgae Led Frem the Start.
Lavigne looked well and confident of
victory, while it was generally conceded
that Burge must win quickly or he
would be liable to be worn down.
Strange to say,- though, there was. no
wearing down in the case as the Yankee
led from start to finish and won in a
romp. There were loud shouts to back
Burge as they faced each other, but
these were suddenly hushed when it
was seen that Lavigne meant to take
the battle right into the enemy's camp.
He rushed and drove Burge before him
planting his left in the stomach and
swinging his right on the ribs. Burge
countered with his left, bufthere was
no force in his blows and Lavigne did
not seem to mind them and when the
first round ended the betting ceased and
everyone seemed to realize that Burge
had run foul of a cyclone. Barge's ad
mirers werfc simply paralysed and even
his seconds, were at a loss how to ad
vise him. The features of the two fol
lowing rounds were similar to the first
Lavigne took them with a rush and
never gave Burge time to consider what
was best to do. At the end of the third
round there were many offers to back
the American at odds of 3 to 1, but it
was a vain attempt to hedge' lost money.
Used Barge aa a Punchlag Bag.
For 15 rounds Lavigne beat a terrible
tattoo on Barge's body and ribs. He
then altered his tactics and tried for
the face of his opponent. This gave
Burge a chance and he did better than
at any other period of the fight .One
of his left handers landed straight on
Lavigne's nose, spurting the blood.
The Englishmen then began to hope
that Burge might yet pull through, but
Lavigne quickly dispelled the illusion.
He rushed Burge around the ring with
redoubled fury. His blows seemed to
double up and almost loll Burge, and
now Lavigne was able easily to reach
his opponent's head and face. Every
blow left its mark and made Burge
weaker on his feet He struggled along,
however, to the 16th round, when La
vigne landed two swinging knockdown
blows on the side of Barge's head. He
was only just able to get on his feet for
the next round. Lavigne gave him a
terrific left hand punch in the
stomach and as his head came forward
he swung his right on the side of the
kead. -Bumm-o11 flat apoti hia face. It
was not a knockout blow, but Borge
was practically beaten and in order to
prevent any serious accident the referee
stopped the fight. Burge was awfully
punished about the stomach, chest and
ribs while Lavigne was scarcely marked.

Water Power for Celamaas.
Wa certainly think it would be a good
thing; and think it would bo n good
idea, while we are getting an irrigation
ditch to not lose sight of the one thing
that would help to build up Columbus.
The maximum amount of horse-power
now employed in the city of Columbus
is G00. The cost per year to maintain
one hundred horse power is about 95,
000, so that if the city of Columbus was
running her machinery at full capacity
the year round it would cost the owners
about $30,000 per annum. This cost to
the present operators and those who
may come can be reduced to about one
half, or two-thirds by developing our
water power.
Bealizing these facts we start this
week to give the expressions of citizens
who have thought of the matter, and
the first person talked to on the subject
was Col. Whitmoyer, who said: "I am
highly in favor of it It would be a
splendid thing for Columbus."
The next person met was I. Sibbern
sen, who said: "It would be a capital
thing for Columbus."
The next met was Judge Kilian, who
remarked: "It is just what Columbus
needs.''
J. S. Hatfield, miller at the Elevator
Roller Mills, who has had large exper
ience with some of the best water powers
in Iowa and Missouri, says: "It would
make Columbus a city of the first-class
iu a short time. Cheap power is what
we need, and that would supply the
want."
O. T. Roen: "A good thing."
Adolph Jaeggi: ''That is just what
we have wanted for a long time."

Ed. Journal: I hope a few lines from
an old subscriber (who scarcely ever
writes for a newspaper), will find a place
in your valued paper. We subscribed
for The Journal with the first issue,
now more than 26 years ago, and could
not well get along without it We get
six papers a week, but The Jou&nal is
the first psper sought and read of all.
We have learned to appreciate its fair
ness, its reliability and its uniform and
wholesome cleanliness in all these
years, I never saw or read or heard of a
single paragraph but what was fit to be
read by the wife and daughter.
How' pleasant to read those items of
the long ago which are being occasion
ally referred to in The Journal!
Everything is looking fine in this
locality and if some of those eastern
writers who pictured Nebraska as a
desert only fit for the Red man to roam
in, could see her now when clothed in
her rich mantle of green, her groves of
forest and shade trees, her orchards of
fruit everything having the appearance
of thrift and prosperity, they certainly
would talk differently.
Marcus Griffin, son of P. S. Griffin, of
this neighborhood, has joined the Chris

Marcus is perpetuating the memory of

of the ladder of fame as a writer, con
sidered how perishable are all worldly
pleasures and pursuits, that please only
for a short time, and after all bis great
achievements, retreated from the world
and joined the Christian Brothers with
whom he spent the remainder of his life
and died fortified by all the rites of his
mother church. So Mark takes the
same view of the world and follows in
the path of conscientious daty, aa he
