(Mil WEDNESDAY. JANUARY U, 18t7. The Grand Island sugar factory has turned out 25,000 barrels of granulated sagar this season. . W. H. Habkis, owner of the man-killing elephant, Gypsy, of era her to the Cuban insurgents asa fighting elephant Fbank Fredbahxeb, a student at the institute for the blind, Nebraska City, fell from a second-story window, striking on the brick walk, badly fracturing his skull. He is very low. What will not the inexperienoed chil dren do next? The 15-months-old infant ' of T. J. Hardy, Elk Creek, swallowed a safety pin and the "crisis passed without injury," says the chronicler. It ib reported that Dr. Niemann of Berlin, the well known bacteriologist, has discovered a new cure for tubercu losis, being a serum from a nanny goat's blood mixed with the bacilli of the disease. It seems that about $2,000,000 worth of chicory is imported annually into this country from Germany and Belgium. There is little wonder that chicory rais ing is looking up in America. It is said to be a very profitable product .-Moobinospobt, Louisiana, a town of 1,000 inhabitants, was struck by a cyclone . Saturday week. Ten people were killed outright, and three known to be fatally injured. Benton, Arkansas, on the Iron Mountain, 20 miles south of little Bock, '. was struck and 20 houses demolished. No lives reported lost. One man report ed killed at Cameron. ROSS HAMMOND. The Lincoln Call, speaking ot the late republican campaign, and of those entitled to recognition has the following concerning the republican candidate for congress. We had thought of the inter nal revenue collectorship for Hammond, but he's good for any of them. "In quiet contrast, evidently content to be known as the editor of the best newspaper pub lished in the Third district, Boss Ham mond continues to fight the battles of republicanism preferring apparently to see others strive for the honors; now and -then attaching his name to someone's petition or arguing by letter the candi dacy of some staunch republican friend. Certainly if there is any one person more than another who is entitled to the best from the list of -the state's federal allotment, it is Boss Hammond. He made a fight in a district wheee the odds against him were the greatest. Unlike his opponent, his friends were not asham ed of his appearance on the stump and the Third district will rue the day they decided to leave him at home, if they haven't already. Whether Boss would accept a government position or not makes no difference, he is entitled to his pick and he ought to be given an oppor tunity to reimburse himself for the ex pense he must have incurred in the race. The position of government printer would probably be more to bis liking, and although it is sought after by many, 'in the District ot Columbia especially, it will undoubtedly go to some one outside, and Boss Hammond is by all means the .right man for this place." THE GREAT EXPOSITION. The Trans-Mississippi Exposition at Omaha in 1896, must not be lost eight of by Nebraskans. From June to November, next year, we are to be less than a hundred miles, (a three hours' ride on the cars) from one of the great gatherings of modern civili zationan exhibit of the world's prog ress up to date; a little world's fair in Nebraska; a season ot reunion for old friends; a rendezvous for people widely separated both by time and space "meet me at Omaha in June, '98"; an object school for the young folks who wish to get, in a glimpse, a view of the present age of wonderful achievement and more wonderful invention; an object school for the aged who wish to have some hint of an answer to the ever-recurring ques tion, What next? The general government's pledge of not less than $200,000 and the subscrip tion of $400,000 besides, is enough to in dicate what the exhibit may mean for Nebraska, if the proper steps are taken. The recommendation of Governor Hol comb is timely, when he says to the leg islature, "I trust that the financial assist ance given by you will be liberal and sufficient, so that our sister states and territories west of the Mississippi may be thereby encouraged to lend their sub stantial aid." Of course a meager, lean and cadaverous "recognition'' by the leg islature would -be an ugly thing for them to do, and is not to be thought of. Iowa has already made a considerable appropriation and promises more while other, states and territories will doubt less gauge their appropriations by what Nebraska does. Omaha is not half way across the con tinent, and this, the first great exhibit for the western portion of our country, ought to receive ample appreciation every way from Nebraakans. It wfll tend to educate United States people to the facte of the abounding natural resources of these plsins and nmnntame; -the unexampled pace of settlement, and the program made along industrial, oom msrffial and esthetic lines. This ednca tioa will reauH u benefit tothweasmtry mere than ample to repay ten Mas. m ia aw law aEaagattaaat ihM f Mf ? TjLLJL aufa'aiai sT " " Stoto a4aaa mwmEmGT to aaia or ar-MMraMni. " teMMlMMMB. KILL THE RINDING BILL Defeated In the House by an Indirect, but Decisive Vote. F1IEIDB OF BILL ABE 8TTEPBISED. Flaal Tata Takea Ob Met lea to Engross BUI Far a Third Time Aa Jtapas- Saacea. ay Seaator Mills la Favor af tfca maraalUa or the Indeacadeaee afCaaa Newa at the Xatleaal Capital. Wasbokotov, Jan. 12. The Pacific railway funding bill went to its doom in the house Monday under an adverse majority of 66. The friends of the aaeasmre, who had predicted its passage mptothe last moment,were surprised by the decisive character of their defeat. They had been led to hope from the -votes on the substitutes that the bill had more than an even chance of passage. The BeQ substitute provided that if the Uniaw Pacific and Central Pacific wonld the first mortgage and advance Wi iliiiijflliiiiiii I lien, the government extena tne lnaeoteaness su, o per 110; nays, 158. "" The Harrison substitute provided for a, committee to negotiate a settlement of the debt. It was rejected by a vote of yeas, 55; nays, 214. Many of the mem feera were as much opposed to these sub stitutes as the Powers bill. The Cali fornia and middle west voted almost solidly against them. When the vote came on the main proposition.the whole opposition swung into line and crushed it by an adverse vote of yeas, 102; nays, MB. The vote was not taken directly on the passage of the bill, but on the pre liminary motion to engross and read the hill a third time. Bills which be come the subject of hard contests are usually brought to a final test before the last parliamentary stage is reached. Aa Aaalyals of the Vote. The Reilly Pacific funding bill two years ago was defeatee in the same manner on the same motion. This was the fourth funding mil killed in the house in 10 days. An analysis of the vote shows that 86 Republicans and 16 Democrats voted for the bill and 99 Re publicans, 58 Democrats, 6 Populists and 6 independents voted against the bill. Mr. Powers, chairman of the Pacific railroads committee, presented a motion to recomit the bill after he had recov ered from the shock of his defeat, say ing the members of the house were all in favor of a settlement, but evidently opposed to the principle of the measure his committee had brought. He thought Ills committee should have an oppor tunity to formulate another bill in the hope that it would prove acceptaDie. a point of order was made against Mr. Powers' motion, but at the suggestion of the speaker the point was not ruled upon. Mr. Powers says he did not know what will be done, but expresses the opinion that another effort should be made to pass an acceptable bill. The opponents of the bill, on the other hand, are rejoicing and say the vote settles the fate of all schemes to fund the debt this AGfiSlOQ After the bill was disposed of the army appropriation bill and several other bills were passed. IMPASSIONED SPEECH BY MILLS. Taxes Seaator AdTocatea the Kacogaltloa of the Iadepaadeace or Caba. Washtnqtox, Jan. 12. The chief event of Monday in the senate session was an impassioned speech by Mr. Mills of Texas, in favor of a resolution intro duced by him to declare the recognition of n foreign government a congressional prerogative and to recognize the inde pendence of Cuba and appropriate $10, 000 for the salary of a minister. In support of the first proposition the sena tor quoted n long line of precedents and, apmrlng on the latter question he strongly denounced the administration, charging it with favoritism toward Spain. He spoke contemptuously of Oastellar and Weyler and of Signor Crispi, because of Ids declaration that Europe could not look without concern noon -the pretensions of the United States. The Cuban question was the mercantile spirit of the nation against its honor, he declared. There was an informal discussion by several senators and Bacon (6a.), gave notice of a speech today. Mr. Proctor made a speech in favor of the constitutional amendment to limit the president to one six-year term, and Aden (Neb.), made an unsuccessful at tempt to have a resolution adopted call ing on the secretary of the navy for in formation as .'to whether contractors' mem in the Brooklyn navy yards are made to work more than eight hours.
