Columbus is the residence of two nominees for justice of the supreme court, but it doesn't lay over Kearney a great deal. The latter town is the home of a nominee for regent each on the re publican and fusion tickets. Fremont Tribune. When the unfortunate deaf mutes of the state are farmed out by the governor to sstisfy the popocratic pressure for sal aried patronage, the time has certainly arrived when partisanship has run riot in all the state's educational, charitable and benevolent institutions, as well as in , the state house itself. Bee. IT DOESN'T WORK BOTH WAYS. The Bryan argument seems to be that when prices of farm products are down the crime of 1873 is the cause, but when they are up the explanation must be found in the law of supply and demand. Courier-Journal. How the populists should love John J. Sullivan, the fusion nominee for su preme judge ! When their patron saint, Van Wyck, lacked just one vote to be re elected U. S. senator, the aforesaid Sul livan refused to furnish the vote. In fact he has never had any use for pops. He will probably allow them to vote for him this fall. Albion News. As rr seems to be definitely settled that we are to have two prohibition parties henceforth, The Journal sug gests that they follow the lead of the sixteen to wunners and hold two ringed circuses and get the benefit of the attorney-general's brilliant discovery that such circuses can vote one ticket and be entitled to two judges or clerks of election. It will greatly enliven things in Nebraska to increase the number ot these circuses. Lincoln Journal. It may be possible that the campaign in Nebraska will be given a little more significance than is usual by the fusion forces, especially by that element of them who are so ardently in favor of William J. Bryan as the next candidate for pres ident. The St Lonis Globe-Democrat has this to say: "We are told that in their canvass this year the Nebraska pops are going to make the campaign of their lives. Nothing short of this will give them any chance to win. Bryan, Teller, Tillman, Altgeld, Weaver and other chiefs of the silver party are, it is said, to etump the state. The Bryanites know that if their leader's state forsakes them, their career as a party is ended, and they will make a desperate attempt to hold their own. The chances, as they see, are overwhelmingly against them. Last year their lead in Nebraska was only 13,000, while the many millions of dollars of extra money which are going into that state's farmers' pockets this year on account of "the increased wheat and corn product and the higher prices will turn thousands of votes to the re publicans. If the republicans take intel- ligent advantage of their opportunities they will carry Nebraska by a rousing majority." NEBRASKA SILVERITES. The Nebraska silverites, democrat, re publican and populist, have managed to make a fusion of a similar character to that made by the same parties in Iowa. Each faction held separate conventions aad - adopted separate platforms, but made a coalition on the ticket. The plat forms, of course, all declare for free coin age ot silver at 16 to 1 "without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth" not even of Mexico, that would doubtless be glad to do all she could for us under such circumstances. None of them has anything to say of the ' hardships of the American farmer this year, but, curiously enough, express great sympathy for farmers abroad, by deploring the scarcity with them. The populists, with undisguised devontness, say: We are thankful to Providence rather than to any man for the meas ure of prosperity with which our state has been blessed, and we at tribute the rise in wheat to foreign scarcity rather than suppose it to be the result of dear sugar or an in creased tariff on straw. It is something to have the populists adaitt that our present prosperity is the work of Providence. Had Bryan been elected kwt fall all these bountiful crops which have blessed Nebraska and other states would have been ascribed to him and to the establishment of free coinage at 16 to L The silver repablicans are motaode oat but are more sympathetic and al- ls Xla " BQBXW aW -Jam nmfdvmmn.- MMMnm .-..- -. m br kM IndtheaaaM and cannot nw corrMMMHt '- - -'-'- We recognize ia tie boaatifal 7ESC .- .. . . &&.. .-: veeeoctBMOoefluiT asa taw eaore i TnTLVJ T T -T Z ' swi i EXPERIENCE RIDDLES THEORIES. 1 S The aertioMf the sUvmtea regarding Uieina S S to do the bia of th country are being consptcuonsly disproved S X asalltlMtrotlMraaaectioBa.

The truth is the advance in the price of wheat and the fall in the price of silver have so dis concerted and dumbfounded the silver ites and so completely overthrown their arguments and theories that they are like drowning men grasping at straws. The American farmer must not be glad of the higher prices offered him for his wheat becanse his competitors in other countries have not raised as large crops this year as usual and therefore cannot keep the price down ! This is a fine argument to address to a people who so long have suffered from low prices because of these very compet itors! Instead of recognizing the inflexible law of nature in these movements pri ces governed by supply and demand these silverites whine and weep over the sad fate of our foreign competitors in the wheat markets of the world, because they have no wheat to undersell ours!

Sept. 14. A tor nado, terrible in its velocity, struck this little city at an early hour last evening. Six people are known to have been killed, while many others were injured. Buildings were blown down and great damage wrought by the cyclone. The dead: Fbaxk Albright, Kansas City, em ployed by electric light company. George Martix, bricklayer, residence unknown. Unknown man, aged 39. May Ainsworth, 18 yean old, daughter of William Ainsworth Infant, n of W. H. 'Johnson, blown from its mother's arms and drowned. The injured. Mrs. Roy Stafford, right leg broken near hip. Hoy Stafford, leg badly bruised. Little (laughter of Stafford, seriously Injured. Many buildings were blown down.iu cluding the railroad round house.where May Ainsworth was killed ; the natato rium, bank building, Townsite com pany's barns, Hotel Hayden, Strong & Leagues building, Brennan building. Colonnade hotel, Spence & Lyon build ing, J. Millar's grocery store, several barns, Kennaday's saloon, The Herald office, the Hays building and M. M. Zolliusky's grocery. Several residences suffered severely, that of Dr. A. W. Barraclaugh being carried across the street. Many buildings were com pletely blown away. Dead Sent to Beaaraeat. From early morning the sky was threatening and a stiff gale blew. No rain of consequence fell until 4 p. in. and then it was accompanied by a heavy wind that increased in intensity until it reached the enormous velocity of 80 miles an hour. Every building in the town is of frame construction, ex cept one brick, the Port Arthur Bank ing company building, the far end and roof of which is blown away. The bodies of the victims have been sent to Beaumont for interment, no cemetery having as yet been started here. There were many accounts of bravery aud the suspense during the severity of the storm was terrible. Advices from Winnie, Tex., say that nearly all the bouses have been blown down and torn away. At Webb all of the barns and one house were demolished and scattered over the country. Nothing can bs heard from Sabine Pass, as all tele graphic communication bias been inter rupted, A relief train left Beaumont last night for Port Arthur and Sabine Pass. Ed Eirscherner, a prominent citizen, was on a Gulf and Interstate railroad train on his way to Beaumont when the storm struck this section. "Everyone on the train thought we would be blown from the track," he said. "It was pitch dark and raining and the wind was blowing like it never blew before." It is known that much destruction was wrought at Sabine Pass, with probably loss of life. Every thing possible is being done to establish communication with that place. The following telegram has just been received from Mr. Serschernerat Beau mont : "The relief train has just re turned from Sabine Pass. It ia reported that the new town is completely gone. Nothing heard from the old town. From reports things look badly there." EXCITEMENT 18 SUBSIDING. Ho Scramble to Get Oat of New Orleans. Fever Is Spreading:. New Orleans, Sept. 14. New Or leans caught its second wind this morn ing, and the breeze of excitement that prevailed yesterday has subsided. At first there was a disposition to leave town, bat whea people summed up mat ters and foand that there were only seven imported cases here and that they had been warned as to six of them, they decided to wait until their conditioai should become more aggravated before making a break for other parta. There was, therefore, no heavy outgoing travel and very little incoming. A few of the passengers who arrived from the east yesterday evening minwrt connection with the Sontfccni Pacific train aad had to lay over here. They have provided themselves with health certificates and are probably destined to meet with con siderable trouble if they attempt to get off in Texas, which has declared a rigid quarantine against New Orleans. Is develops today that the yellow fever at Berkely, Miss., was imported from Ocean Springs. Mrs. Saunders, who was from Amsterdam, N. T., died in Ocean Springs and her body was taken to Berkely in a wagon. Soon after her husband and son died at Berkely with the disease, together with two other persons, and other deaths are expected. It is daily becoming evident, therefore, that the first case of yellow fever origi nated in Ocean Springs, and that all other points have caught the infection from that place. Biloxi. Miss.. Sept. 13. The condi tion of affairs as regards the fever is not materially changed from the former re ports. Most of those sick are improving rapidly. The conditions of all are fa vorable. There were reported two new cases in the Desporie family, living on Oak street, oat near the point. This makes four cases in that family. One new case was reported yesterday by Dr. Haralson. Dr. Tackett reported yester day three new cases. INDULGE IN INCENDIARY TALK. Chicago Branch of Deb Social Democracy Declare War on Millionaire. Chicago, Sept. 14. Meetings of the various branches of the newly organized Social Democracy were held last night to discuss the recent Hazelton. Pa., tragedy, and some decidedly larid lan guage was iudulgHl ia by the sneakers. Resolutions were passed by branch No. 2, which contained t lie following : "The blood of an idle and useless aristocracy is the most convenient medium for nour ishing the tree of liberty. For every xniner killed and wounded a millionaire should be treated in the same manner. The millionaire class is responsible for the slaughter of Sep' ember 10, and we regard the tcrch as the most successful weapon to wield against them." Fitzgerald Murphy, president of branch No. 2, made a speech in which he said : "The miners should carry arms and use them, too. I would kill 20 mil lionaires today." Strong condemnatory resolutions were also passed by branch No. 1, and some fiery speeches made. T. P. Quinn said : "I will not carry a musket ; I will carry a torch and a knife, and I will carry both as far as I can." Leroy M. Goodwin, E. V. Debs' right hand man, in the course of a speech said : "I would attack property with the torch ; I would destroy their fine pal aces. Let us rebel when men are shot down as they were in Pennsylvania." HOWARD WALKS OUT OF PRISON. Ketorioas Swindler Escapes From the Ohio Penitentiary. Columbus, O., Sept. 14. Rev. G. F. B. Howard has escaped from the Ohio penitentiary. He was a most famous United States prisoner from Tennessee. He was trusted in the front office and walked away.

BIGSHORTAGE IN WHEAT ' i&" A Review of the Sitttat&i by Statistician Hy4c ' TUTTED STATES HIGHLY rATOXED. Bares Will Haw to Braw'Mataly Tfcte Caaatry te Sanaly PcaalMJry U tte alp 9m tUpuxlasl Tism Iaain, ar AaetnUk Wmt Several t Cease. Washinoton, Sept. 14. Tha follow iag, relating to the wheat situation, le an extract from the complete 'moataly report of Mr. John Hyde, the statisti cian of the agricultural department: High prices for wheat have for several weeks-past been bringing out supplies quite freelynd increased supplies have in tarn reacted on prices, causing some decline from the highest figures of Au gust. The general tenor of the inform ation gleaned from all available courses is not, however, of a character to war rant the expectation or the fear, accord ing as the matter is rrpsTded from the consumers' or the producers' point of view, of any material cheapening of wheat until another crop is in sight. with a prospect of ampler steels. With an annual average European product of over 1,438,000,000 bushels during the six years from 1891 to 1898, inclusive, we exported an average of 166,373,873 bushels a year. This year the European crop, according toBrom hall's Corn Trade News, wUl, in round numbers, amount to 1,329,000,000 Win chester bushels, or 99,000,000 bushels' less than the average of the six years in question. If we make the comparison withjhe figures given by Beeroahm for 1897, the deficiency in the European crop is still greater, the figures' in mill ions of bushels being: Average for 1891-1896. 1,428; crop of 1897.1,315; difference, 113. Most Draw on Catted States. Thus, according to Bec-rbohm's esti mate of this year's crop, there is a de ficiency of 113,000,000 bushels in Euro pean countries as compared with their average product for the six years. 1891 1896, an average which includes the exceptionally small crop of 1S91. To make up the deficiency, little help is to be expected from Iu.Iui, Argentina or Australia for months to come and inso far as Europe will have to import a larger quantity than usual, she will have to draw it mainly from North America, and especially from the United States, the Canadian contribu tion being relatively small. Official re turns from Ontario and Manitoba give for these two provinces an aggregate of 51,042,253 bushels. If the Argentine crop shall escape the ravages of the locusts it seems likely to turn out un usually well and from January, !898, when the bulk of the harvest will be got in in Argentina, that country may have more or less wheat to export, as the latest mail advices represent the lerop as being in fine condition and the weather highly favorable. There are, however, many chances of serious dam age during the next three or four months. Australian Dronth Broken. The latest accounts from Australia indicate that the drouth from which that country has suffered for the last two or three seasons, has been broken and that the wheat crop is giving prom ise throughout most of the Australian colonies ; but the area was marred by dronth at seeding time, and, as stocks must be low, it is not likely that even with a full yield the crop will be one out of which any great amount can be spared for exportation. The present high prices would ordinarily tend to encourage the sowing of an increased breadth in India, should the weather be favorable this fall, but any. inclination on the part of the poorer cultivators to take advantage of such favorable condi tions, will probably be in a great meas ure thwarted by the impoverished con dition in which they have been left by the famine in the greater part of the wheat growing districts. But, leaving out of view the fact that the burden of supply for Europe will fall more largely than usual upon the United States, it is evident that there will be, in any case, a demand for larger surplus than is to be expected out of this year's crop. If to our aver age annual export for the six years, 1892-1897, we add a European shortage of 99,000,000 bushels, figured out by Beerbohm, we get a total of 265,375, 872 bushels and insofar as we fall short of supplying that quantity, Europe, ac companied with an average year, must suffer a scarcity in its bread supply, ex cept insofar as she can avert it by drawing on the stocks that may remain out of previous crops. The world's reserves have, however, been reduced in consequence of the short wheat crop of last year, and a de ficiency in some of the other important food crops will not tend to relieve the tension of the wheat market. Ship Pauper Immigrants Back. Washington, Sept. 14. Some time ago the state department referred to the treasury department certain repre sentations to the effect that the board of supervisors of Kossuth county, Iowa, had discovered that Karl Kruger and wife, two Germans who immigrated to this country within the past year, were public charges of the county. The sec retary of the treasury investigated the matter and found the report to be true and directed their return to Germany. This will be done at the expense of the immigration fund, the immigrants hav ing become public charges within one year after landing from causes existing subsequent thereto.

In the rivers and lakes of New York state there is a bandit fish that roams at large and makes its living by robbing the gentlemen fish. It even attaoks such vigorous fish as the black bass and the pickerel, fastening itself to them and sacking their blood until they are dead. The name of this bold bandit is the lamprey. Professor Gage of Cornell university has seen 13,000 of these lam preys spawning at one time in the out let of Cayuga lake alone, and he has es timated that they kill more fish than all of the fishermen of the state put togeth er. The lamprey s about the sise and has somewhat the appearance of an eel. Professor Gage advises some manner of killing them by means of traps in the streams as they go up in the spring to spawn.

A night's natural sleep repairs the waste, the life giving blood in gentle, regular pulsations flows by and the proper element is taken cut or each globule and incorporated into the struc ture of the nerve cell, so that on awak ening it . is' again restored, alert and ready to receivo and send out messages and do its proper work. Sleep has knit together again the meshes raveled out by care. The action of 1.000.000 pf these cells packed together in the brain, like Leyden jars in a battery, is analo gous to electricity, but not at all identi cal with it One has sometimes in the country noticed a lone forest lightning struck tree slowly decaying as the seasons roll by in the alternations of rain and frost and wind. -First the small twigs become brittle, break off and fall, then larger branches and limbs and finally the many thousand subdivisions are reduced to about three large stumps supported by the blasted trunk with the rotten bark clinging to it As age creep.? slowly on the animal body the small' ramifications of blood vessels in the face, for instance, wither and die and then larger vessels, leaving pits called "wrinkles." The same thing happens in the interior of the brain, but this is invisible on the sur face. Instead of many fine subdivisions of arteries reaching every part of the structure and thus irrigating it with the red life giving fluid these dry up, are absorbed and larger ones and fewer in number result Into these the blood has a tendency to pour at night during sleep, on slight provocation resulting in undue distension aud engorgement, and consequent wakefulness, thus pro ducing the well known.disease "insom nia," which, if prolonged, results in brain wreck and insanity Let the sufferer look to the health of his whole body by outdoor exercise, open air and regular diet, amend and correct tho general health or use tonio baths at the proper time of the day be fore retiring or on rising. Taking a slight repast before going to bed so as to draw a surplus of blood from the brain and elevating the head on pillows so as to allow gravitation to assist in draining the blood from the brain are good. Periodicity is of great assistance. Go ing to bed at exactly the Bame hour every night, the firm aud strong belief in the fact that you will sleep at that hour, the diversion of the mind just be fore retiring by some light reading, amusement, work or exercise will help. Refuse, if possible, to discuss or dwell upon mournful, irritating or unfortu nate personal topics or afflictions. Should the sufferer suddenly awake in the night before the allotted hours for repose have passed, his best plan is not to lie awake in bed in the dark staring vacantly. The oversensitive mind conjures many gloomy thoughts at this time in the deep, still darkness of tho night, when all outside day sounds and noises have ceased their distraction. These cases can be successfully treated at home, and not by drupa Have a night table handy, light a candle, arise, throw off and air the bed clothes. s up. with a convenient wrapper around you. in an easy chair, having first thrown open a door or window to completely change the vitiated air of the room. Of course one must have a chamber to himself to do this. All the conditions external be ing changed will tend to produce a change of those internal of the body the brain and the nerves. After a suit, able interval one can again close the doors end windows, replace covers and retire to approaching elumber. This was the method of Benjamin Franklin, who had a large, active brain, filled with multitudinous private and public affairs, during a long and active life, and he found it to succeed. (See his autobiography. ) Different remedies will suit different constitution The same will not do for all alika Each person must study his own cape, the moral and physical causes, remove these and find out what will best soothe his exhausted nerves and induce peaceful repose.

It is easy to observe at the aquarium the habits of fish in feeding. Some are sluggish, some are fierce and some are sly. The trout are fed on live killies. The killies when thrown into the tank scatter in all directions, with the trout after them like chain lightning, twist ing and turning with marvelous celeri ty. The killies double, the trout dart after them. Rising to a bunch of tal lies st the top, the trout fairly make the water fly. They jump almost, if not quite, clear out of it, as if they were turning somersaults, and down they go in again and on after the killies. It is a dashing, slashing, crashing pursuit, and in about half a minute the killies are all gone. The pickerel bow different! How silent, and yet how sudden! The killie dropped in above darts downward through the water. Not pursued, it alow down and halts in the middle of the tank to rest and to recover its equa nimity after its recent disturbing expe rience of being removed from its home in the live food tank, carried about ia a galvanized iron tray, and finally dropped into aaoCsertaakas food for iff bah brains of this teacaers aad other professionals ami BECm Farm Loans, And Insurance..

It has coma up silently, like a slender, little steamer moving It comes to a halt so smooth ly and quietly that the instant of its halt is not noticed. It is simply seen to bo lying there, motionless, about six inches from the killie. All Is peace and quiet in the tank, and the killie still balances itself in the water and rests. Suddenly, with no ap parent exertion of power, the pickerel darts forward. The movement is so sad dan that it hi not realized that the pick erel has moved until it ia seen in its new position. The killie is gone. It is now in the pickerel's interior, and prob ably with only a very hazy notion, if any at all, of how it got there. The methods of the trout and picker el are very different; their results, bow aver, are much the same. New York San. To Ckitage aad the Eat.
