that the qaestion before the court was a
narrow one, and that the principles de
clared by the court are broad enough to
cover all combinations in restraint of

that any one commodity should be
within the sole power and subject to the

All each combinations have been in

With all his seclusion and stoicism,
Thoreau was less impersonal than Em
erson: nay, his very retirement and his
paucity of friends made him cling the
more firmly to the few he had. Emer
son's range was wider; his horizon was
more ample; bat he did not attach him
self so closely to those things and
thoughts in which he took an interest
Hence we find more form in the thought
of Emerson, more color in that of Tho
reau; and, so far as literary style is cen
cerned, the page of Thoreau often excels
that of Emerson. Both are epigrammat
ic; but the epigrams of Thoreau are the
more keen and searching if not so ele
gant Emerson dealt more with princi
ples; Thoreau with facts. He had the
homely wisdom of Socrates, while Em
erson rejoiced in the lofty sweep of
Plato. In their learning, which was
great as Americans reckon the scope
of learning, Thoreau was the more
exact Emerson the more comprehensive
and suggestive. Both were masters of
English; but in Emerson was more man
nerism, in Thoreau more rhetorical art
in his best pages, more simplicity in his
ordinary writing. Both will endure as
authors; and will continue to attract and
to instruct by their deep, cheerful wis
dom, and their high moral purpose. Mr.
F. B. Sanborn, in the April Forum.
ASK AID FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS.
BlaaaphU KrJIef Committee Unable to
Meat All Demands For Help.
Memphis, April 6. The prediction
ude in these dispatches on Friday that
great disaster to the Mississippi delta
would follow the breaking of the levee
at a point on the east side of the river
north of Helena, Ark., has been terribly
realized.
The break at Flower Lake, which oc
curred Monday morning, has rapidly
grown from 12 feet in length to 1,000.
Effort is being made to tie each end of
the levee, but owing to the difficulty in
getting material from the railroad four
miles away the success of the effort is
doubtful. This crevasse is at the head
of the delta and will cause an overflow
of the northern tier of the counties in
Mississippi with the exception of apart
of Tunica.
The qaestion that now confronts the
planters is the duration of the flood. If
fcfco water is oa of tbo delta by .May A a
crop of cotton can be grown, but cotton
planted as late as May 10 has little
chance of maturing before frost. There
is still another danger. These crevasses
must all be closed before the June rise,
or there will be a second overflow. The
delta country produces annually no less
than 5,000,000 bales of cotton. The
river at Memphis is stationary. Much
offering is reported from the overflow
regions. Belief steamers are making
daily trips into Arkansas and Missis
sippi, rescuing hundreds of people and
bringing them to Memphis, The local
relief committee is doing everything
possible for the unfortunate refugees.
At a meeting of the committee it was
decided to ask other cities for help and
an appeal was issued.
FLOODS IN THREE STATES.

Oxaha, April 6. Specials from points
in South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska
bring word of increased floods in all the
rivers. Bain has fallen incessantly for
the last 72 hours over an area of more
than 100 milesin radius, the fall being
four inches in that time. This has greatly
increased the volume of water in the
already swollen streams. Thousands of
acres of farm lands are under four to
six feet of running water and many
families have been moved from their
homes by boats. A Missouri river
steamboat has been sent from Yankton
torescae the sufferers along the Jim
river. Yankton is cut off from railroad
communication, and most of the tele
graph and telephone lines are down.
Sioax City reports the Missouri has
passed the danger line, and is over

A delegation of citizens from Mem

Washington-, April 6. The senate
Monday by unanimous vote adopted a
resolntion reciting the reports that Gen
eral Ruiz Rivera, the Cuban comman
der, is about ta be tried by drumhead
eourtmartial and shot, and expressing
the judgment of the senate that if these
reports are tree the president of the
United States should protest to the
Spanish government against such a vio
lation of the rules of civilised warfare.
This resolution does not go to the house
of representatives, and becomes effec
tive as a measure of advice to the presi
dent by its adoption. Although opposi
tion was withdrawn on a final vote,
there was spirited opposition in the
early stages of the debate, and a test
vote on the comparative strength of the
Caban and anti-Cuban sentiment in the
senate. The test occurred on a motion
to refer the resolution to the committee
on foreign relations. Hale (Rep., Me. ),
who has been prominently identified
with the opposition to Caban resolu
tions, made the motion to refer, and it
was supported by Hoar (Mass.), and a
prominent figure in the opposition to
Cuban resolutions. The debate was
very spirited and at times qaite per
sonal. Allen (Neb.) and Gallinger (N.
H.) clashing with Mr. Hoar. The Hale
motion to refer was defeated yeas, 21;
nays, 27; and the resolution was
adopted, 44 to nothing. Mr. Hoar and
Mr. Hale refrained from voting.
, After the disposal of the Cuban ques
tion, the day was given to speeches,
Ellrins (W. Va.) speaking for two hours
on the development of the American
merchant marine, and Iindsay (Ky.)
advocating the passage of the bank
raptcy bill known as the Torrey, now
before the senate.
Late in the day a joint resolution by
Bate (Tenn.) was agreed to, directing
the Burgeron general of the marine hos
pital service to aid the Mississippi river
flood sufferers by the distributing of
tents, blankets, food and medicine under
the epidemic fund of 1893 and to pur
chase further supplies under the pres
ent epidemic fund for distribution.
BRYAN BEFORE SUPREME COURT.
Appears For the Slate la the Nebraska
Maximum Hate Case.
Washington, Apxil 0. The crowds
about the United States supreme court
yesterday were a slight reminder of the
late campaign. They were attracted by
the presence in the court room of Hon.
W. J. Bryan, late Democratic candidate
for the presidency, who has been an
nounced to appear as counsel for the
state of "Nebraska in the argument of
what is knowu as the maximum freight
cases. The limited capacity of the
court room was taxed long before the
incoming of the court at noon, and the
corridors outside were soon filled by a
throng anxious to secure admission
whenever places inside should be va
caiefc' Mr. '"Bryan' was in-the court
room early, occupying a seat behind Mr.
Smythe, attorney general of Nebraska,
with whom he was to appear in the
case, Mr. Bryan moved the admission
to the bar early in the day of H. C.
Bell, deputy commissoner of pensions. '
The Nebraska case was pot reached
putil a o'clook,-aad John I. Webster of.
Omaha, counsel for the state, was then
recognized to open the argument. He
consumed the remainder of the day and
had not concluded when ?he court ad
journed. When Mr. Webster finishes Mr.
Bryan will be heard. The railroads are
'represented by James C. Carter of New
York. The decision of the case will
determine the constitutionality of the
law of 1893, fixing a maximum rate
for freight charges on the part of
railroads operating in the state. Tbo
railroad companies enjoined the state
ofBcialsfrom carrying out the provis
ions of tto Jaw on the ground, among
others, that the rate fixed was not suffi
cient for the maintenance of the roads.
The state appeals the ease, which is con
sidered of greater than state importance
because of its bearing upon similar con
tentfons in other states.

Prof. E. N. Plank of Kansas City, will
lecture in the Baptist cbnrch at Colum
bus Nebraska, on Thursday eveaiag,
April 8, 1897, beginning at 8 o'clock.
The public generally are invited to
attend, especially those who would like
to hear the subject considered from the
standpoint of reason and philosophy.
This lecture has been given in hun
dreds of churches from New York to
Texas and no lecture lief ore the people
has received more or higher commenda
tions. No charges at the door.
We've all been there, and there is
more truth than poetry in the following
words of Bill Nye. It is a wonder that
the country has any good roads at all,
under the prevailing system, for, hours
and hours, days and days, have been
spent by the old uncles on the road side
discussing politics and religion instecd
of working at the roads to fix them up.
It hasn't been business at all, just a kind
ot picnic' Well, read what Bill Nye
says:
"Our wagon roads 'throughout the
country, are generally a disgrace to civ-,
ilization. and before we undertake to
supply Jaeger underwear and seakkia
covered bibles with nexible tacks to the
Africans it might be well to put a few
dollars into the relief of galled aad
broken down horses that have lost their
health on our miserable highways. The
country system, as I know it, is about aa
poor and inefficient as it could be. With
a road overseer in each road district,
whose duty it is to collect so many days'
work or so many dollars from each tax
payer in the district, of course no tax
payer would pay a dollar when he can
come and make mud pies on the road all
day, and visit and gossip with the
neighbors and save his dollar, too. With
all due respect to the farmer, I will state
right here that he does not know how to
make roads. An all-wise Providence
never intended that he Bhould know.
The professional road builders, with the
money used by our self-made road arch
itects, would in a few years make roads
in the United States over which two or
three times the present-sized load could
easily be drawn, and the dumb beasts of
the republic would rise up and call us
blessed for doing it."

Dodge Criterion: Sam Westfall met
with qnite an accident the other day by
which he had the end of the middle
finger of his right hand cut off. He was
assisting in dehorning some cattle when
by some means his finger got in the way
of the knife and off it went before be
knew what had happened.
Arlington News: The Elkhorn river
has been on the rampage 'the 'last few
days and has been viewed by many of
our people who walked put on' the rail
road to a point near the bridge. The
sheep ranch was all under water, Mr.
Ormsby having got out just in the nick
of time by shipping his last sheep dur
ing last week. The lakes are all more
than fnll but so far no serious damage
has been done. Nobody, however, is
longing for rain.
Fremont Herald: John Bolte's gen
eral merchandise store at Snyder was
entered early Saturday morning, and
twenty-four pairs of shoes, several pairs
of trousers and a bolt of dress goods
were taken, amounting to about $100 in
value. Two strangers were seep about
town Friday night, one of them was ip
the store during the evening looking at
some shoes. They left without buying.
saying they wonld return later. Further
than this there is no clue.
Schuyler Sun: For some time there
has been considerable complaint about
a man nauied Diedrich Qherken, who
lives in Wilson precinct. He has been
whipping his wife, who is insane, and
the outrage was kept up till complaint
was made and on Wednesday Sheriff
Kroeger went out after him. He was
taken before Justice Wells and pleaded
guilty, being given eight days in the
county jail and fined ten dollars and
costs, and to stand committed till all
was paid. The feeling was so strong
against the man by his neighbors that
there was spmp talk ipdulged ip pf
making, a banging bee for him. The
fellow deserves what he got now and if
he indulges again he may get worse. In
the mean time he is a county boarder.
York Republican: There was a great
deal of wild mustard seed in the oats
raised last year and it is the intention of
most of the farmers to clean them be
fore marketing them. The wild mus
tard seed must not be left where stock
can get it, as it is almost certain death
to cattle if they eat any considerable
amount of it. Mr. W. A. Miller of
Charleston was in the city Monday. He
called at this office and left the bad news
that Mr. George Tfroker, who lives two
miles west of Charleston, had lost all his
milk cows, and a fine young heifer
through allowing them to eat the wild
mustard seed that had been separated
from the oats. After tha misfortune had
occurred one of the animals was cat
open and the inner coatiBg of the stom
ach was found eaten away. Maybe your
neighbor doesa't take a paper. If so tall
him about this article. The fact that
cattle die after eating mustard should
be known all over the county, and that
too before any more losses occur.
