Judge Soott of Omaha has expressed

His remarks, he said, applied only to

mortgage had been given to oover a pre
existing debt. The court stated a hypo

upon a piece of property, the amount of
the loan being based entirely upon the
judgment of 'the money loaacr as to the
value of the property. When the mort

sold for only one-half of the loan, appli

STIRS UP MATTERS IN IOWA.

Des Moons, la., Feb. 9. The an
nouncement from Washington that the
president has signed an order to consoli
date the Des Moines and Topeka pen
sion agencies aad removing them to St.
Louis has stirred up matters in Iowa.
The consolidated office will pay pensioas
for Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Indian territory, Colorado
and New Mojtioo.
Iowa is the only Republican' state in
the list and a stroug effort will be'made
to have the order revoked by the incom
ing administration and the consolidated
office located here. It is clsimed that
the great majority of the pensioners can
be reached from Dcs Moines sooner than
from St. Louis, and that Secretary
Francis made the change in order to
give his own state a good offioe at the
expense of Iowa and Kansas,
The two offices have about 100 em
ployes aad are among the largest in the
country. The Iowa office now pays
70.000 and the Kansas office 109,000
pensions. All ihe employes except
agents are under civil service rules and
many, because unable to move to St.
Louis, would lose their places by the
change.
Death From Starratloa.
Trenton, N. J., Feb. 9. Patrick
Brennan, aged 00 years, was found dead
from starvation and exposure in his lit
tle home near Yardley. Sitting beside
his body was his aged wife, Margaret,
who was dying from the same causes.
She has been insane for about a year,
but her old husband had managed to
care for her. The theory is that he fell
ill and she was unable to seek help.
Brennan had evidently been dead a
week. The couple had always been dis
inclined to accept charity.

Washington, Feb. sW The
wasia executive sessioa most of. Mon
day considering this - Anglo- Americaa
peace treaty, so that little tune was,
given isropen session to the transaction"
of regular legislative work. Early in
the day the bUl rearranging the judicial
districts of Texas was passed over the'
president's veto by the unusually heavy
majority of yeas, 57; nays, 1; the nega
tive vote being that of Caffrey (La.)..
Speaking for the bill Mills '(Tex.) said
the burden of the president's objection
was that the judge of the court, the
clerk and the marital opposed the
change. For yearatit.i liavelopraeat'-of
Texas had demanded the change. Bat
every time it was attempted there was'
the opposition of the court officials, who
desired their convenience consulted
rather than the convenience of the
public. And so ia this esse, said th.
senator, the president had accepted the
views of the court officials rather than
those of the representatives of the
people. "It is strange to nie," said Mr.'"
Mills, "that the president does' not con
sult the 15 representatives
13 in the other house and two ia
instead of accepting the views of
court officers.'
?
-v '
Hoar (Bep., Mass.) said he thought
the senator from Texas (Mills) did the
president a great injustice in saying he
was moved solely by the wishes of the
court officials. On the contrary, said
Mr. Hoar, the president took the very
strong position- that but 45 cases have
arisen in five years in the locality of the
proposed district. That was a very
strong and valid objection. The sena
tor thought it was outweighed, how
ever, by the growth of- Texas and its
future needs, and he therefore would
vote for the bill despite the veto. The
effect of the vote is to make the bill a
law without further reference to the
president, as it already has passed over
the veto in the house. Mr. Pettigrew
(Ind., & D.) sought to have the bill rel
ative to amending the timber culture
laws recalled from the president to cor
rect an error. Hill (Dem., N. Y.) in
terposed the legal point that it was be
yond the power of congress to taken
bill out of the hands of the president to
amend it on matters of substance. It
might overcome the veto power by with
drawing a bill from the president when
it was liable to be vetoed. The resolut
tion went over.
Coatider Arbltratiaa Treaty.
The Anglo-American arbitration
treaty was under consideration from 1
o'clock until 530. The entire proceed
ing was in executive session and conse
quently behind closed doors. The first
half of the session was spent in debat
ing a motion introduced by Senator
Hill to consider the treaty in open ses
sion and the most animated part'of the
day's proceeding was based upon this
matter. The debate was characterized
by several sharp pa mages at arms be
tween the author of the. motion and
Senators Morgan, Lodge, and Sherman,
the three last named contending stren
uously for the observance of the senator
ial custom of secrecy in dealing with
the treaty. It was tstated it was the
wish of the administration that the
public should be excluded from debates.-'
The only vote of the day was secured on
the Hill motion, which r was- defeated,,
the count showing only '9 for it' and 49
against. The negative vote was cast by
.two gold Democrats, Hill and Lindsay;
two silver Democrats, Roach and Till
man; two independent silver Republic
ans, Teller and Pettigrew; two Populists,
Peffer and Stewart, and one straight
Republican, Brown.
This was not considered as in any .re
spect a test vote as there are many sen
ators opposed to the treaty who did not
favor a departure from the ordinary
practice of the senate. The friends of
the treaty believe strength was devel
oped as to the attitude Xa justify the
conclusion that the treaty is certain of
ratification if it can be brought to a vote.
It is claimed the straight Republican
vote is solidly favorable to ratification
and that a fraction of all the other ele
ments will be found in its column. It
was made apparent, however, that the
treaty would stand no chance without
the committee amendments. The sup
porters of the agreement are not, how
ever, so sanguine of early action as of a
favorable result when secured. A quite
determined spirit of delay was made
manifest, and when Senator Sherman
expressed the hope that consideration
could be concluded at another sitting,
Senator Teller told him frankly that he
would be disappointed in this respect,
intimating that several more, sessions
would be necessary to complete the con
sideration of a matter of importance so
great and so far-reaching in its results.

'RUSSIAN NEWSPAPERS.
In the Gaarw Country Thar
Aw
Jaaiaals With Odd XBases.
Newspapers printed in theBussian
language are not circulated nor read
generally in the United States, aad any
one who has ever made even a cursory
examination of a Bussian newspaper
printed in Bussian characters can see at
a glance why, as far as this country is
concerned, they do not "fill a long felt
want"
In the naming of Bussian newspapers
such journalistic titles as Sun, Oasette,
Press, Observer, Star, Courier, Bulletin,
Advertiser and Eagle do not prevail,
but in place of these more descriptive
titles are used. The humorous newspa
per of St Petersburg is called The'
Weekly Schut, or, translated, The FooL
The medioal journal of St Petersburg,
published under authority of the war
offioe, is The Bussian Invalid. The offi
cial morning newspaper of Moscow is
The Viedomosti Gorodskoe PolitsU, eth
erise ThePolioe Gsnette. The Russian
newspaper best known in this country
ia the daily Novoyo Vremya, or The
New. Times, of St Petersburg.
One of the illustrated St Petersburg
weeklies is called The Neva, after tha
river which flows through that capital,
and two weekly newspapers longest es
tabliahed ia the city of Moscow are The
Boudilnik and The Krongoaor, other
wise The Alarmer and The Horizon.
Far some reason which is not very dear
the word "wiedomosti," meaning
"news," is popular as a newspaper de
signation in the city of Moscow. There
are four daily newspapers in Moscow
having this title The Bussian News,
Modern News, Moscow News and Old
News. The Old News is maintained for
the republication of articles.from other
newspapers. There are perhsps some
newspapers in the United States worthy
of being called The Old News, but it is
certain that there is no newspaper in
the United States which formally and
vduntarily would assume that title.
The official newspaper of Warsaw ia
the Warsaw Polios Gasette, and the
word "gasette" (gaseta) is as popular
with Warsaw editors as the word
"news" is in Moscow. There are the
Warsaw Polios Gasette, the Warsaw
Polish Gasette, the Warsaw Gasette,
the Warsaw German Gasette and the
Waaaw Gasette Courier. The Gasette
Courier makes a specialty of telegrsphio
information, and is not therefore prop
erly speaking a gasette courier, whom

HEROISM IN MINES.
Uvea to lava Otters.
Never wss there a mining disaster of
say magnitude without several in
stances of iadividud gallantry in sav
ing boysdone, says a writer in Chums.
as a oolliery manager said the other
day, "There may be a score of cases of
that kind after a single accident and
nobody be any the wiser. "
"A boy told me once," he proceeded,
"that after aa explosion one of the men
who was with him brought him dong
a considerable distance in the workings.
At last they met the afterdamp. The
lad was so terrified, so anxious to get
eat, that he wanted to rash through
aad make his way to the shaft. If he
he certainly would novo

Nowjthere's a earn that nobody wwald

of heroism ia this di-
is known, however, I. rs-
. - t.
oall a story I haard near the bank of the
Hyde pit after the explosion ia 1889.
Ton know that the slightest delay ia
flying for the shaft msymeaa death.
Ia the neighborhood of Boltea some
few years ago one man out of, a party
of outliers stopped behind for a'mianss
or so to look for his sou, a hoy of 14,
who was working dose by. The two
met, but, alas, they perished there to-'
gather and were found dasped in each
other's. arms. And paternal devotion aa
than manifested has coat many a brave
fellow his life. -
Well, on the occasion referred to a
man named Haslani brought from the
workings, or met as be was scurrying
along to the pit month, a youth about
16, aad throughout the terrible jouraey
he stuck to the lsd with the most heroic
determination. Twice the boy stumbled
snd fell, but the noble collier dragged
him to his feet and urged him to jmsh
oa with all speed. Other mishaps befell
them, yet both, I rejoice to say, gained
the sarface alive and comparatively
well.
The following care may ha tried ia
of severe earache when ordinary
remedies have failed : Get a small qaaa
tityof dried arnica flowers and pot
them into two small bags. Put half a
piat of whisky into a small maoepaa
oa the stove, aad when it is heated dip
one of the bags into it aad apply to the
ear of the sufferer. As soon as one bag
begins to cool aad the steam stops eom
iag from it change it for the other bag
which is heating in the whisky.
Mail from New York to Batavia will
be delivered in 41 days from tha data of
mailing.
In the destruction of the Pennsylvsnia
state capitol by fire we have another re
inforcement of the argument in favor of
substantial fireproof construction in dl
important public buildings. Aside from
the danger to life and limb snd the pos
sibility of irreparable loss in the burning
of valuable papers and public documents,
the government ought to eet the example
to private citizens in the matter of im
pressive architecture and first-class
building. Good publio buildings can
not but encourage the erection of good
private buildings, and in the long run
the gain to the taxpayers snd general
public is much more than the temporary
saving effected by cheap construction.

The recent severe spell of cold weather,
which in some sections has been reported
as unprecedented, was not so with us,
for which we have cause to be thankful,
even if it took a few more ears of 8-cent
corn to supplement the animal heat.
The valley of the Loup in this section
rarely falls within the storm centers, snd
to this cause, more than anything else,
we owe our comparative immunity from
their maximum violence.

David City Banner: Last Saturday
evening while G. M. Snyder and his son
Otto were loading corn, the former met
with quite a serious accident. Just as
Otto went to throw a shovel f dl of corn
onto the wagon his father stooped to
climb down off the load, and one prong
of the shovel entered one of Mis nostrils,
gashing his nose to the forehead. He
was carried to the house unconscious
and medical dd summoned. He was
able to be around again Monday.
