Beboeb died recently at Belle fontaine, Pennsylvania, at the advance age of 106 year and 1 month; her oldest child surviving her is aged 85 years. The cause of Mrs. Barger's death was a fall which fractured a limb. Lieutenant Herman G. Drezel, of the United States navy, committed sui cide in the Carrolton hotel, Baltimore, Md., Monday by shooting himself in the head. He was single, and no reason is known for the deed except he didn't wish to go to Manila. Tnn coroner's jury which investigated the death of Harold Frederick, corres pondent of the New York Times, at London, as a result, it is cnargea, oi undergoing the Christian Science treat ment, has rendered a verdict of man slaughter against the scientist who treated him. A fabmeb near Hartley, Iowa, is now the possessor of a well 350 feet deep, which at first, when the drill was remov ed, exploded with a loud report, throw ing showers of sand over 100 feet high; after several hours it began throwing out mud and water in a terrible manner. It sends forth a hissing sound, audible for nearly a mile, and increases rather than diminishes in fury. People in the imme diate vicinity are quite alarmed at its actions. Is the Kansas City court of appeals last week a decision was rendered in re gard to the case of the State against the National School of Osteopathy. The evidence was that this school had sold to Dr. William Smith of Kirksville a certificate that he had completed the full course of study in that institution. For this certificate Doctor Smith paid $150, and it was shown that he had called at the school but twice. Judge GUI decided that the violation of law was that the certificate was issued when there had been no personal attendance for the time specified by the Missouri laws; this was a legal wrong, but he held that it was not sufficient to war rant the forfeiture of the school's fran chise. St Joseph News. Tire Conservative rejoices in the triumphs achieved by the Omaha Expo sition. It was a complete and perfect representation of the industrial capa bilities of the midcontinent West. Its success was due, very largely, to the ability and executive force which man aged its "promotion and publicity" bureau. And it will not be charged that the writer hereof is moved by either per sonal relations or political obligations in declaring that,- to Mr. Edward Rose water, editor and proprietor of the Oma ha Bee, more than to any other one man, tho Omaha Exposition owes its phenomenal success. Mr. Rosewater has brains, pluck and seemingly the tirelessness of metal moved by steam. "The Conservatfve, J. Sterling Morton, Editor. BIG FIRt AT DAWSON.

Returning Klon dike arriving in this city .bring the news that the city of Dawson has been visited with a 300,000 fire, in which 40 buildings were burned, including the new postoffice building and some of the best buildings in the city. The fire took place on the morning of Oct. 16. It started in the Green Tree saloon as the result of a tow between two women of the town. Belle Mitchell threw a lighted lamp at another woman. The lamp broke, the oil spread and in a few sec onds the building was on fire. The fire started at 8:20 a. m. The fire of a year ago was caused by this same woman, who threw a lamp at a man with whom she had a quarrel. A month ago she tried to burn her own place on Third avenue, in Dawson, by throwing a lamp at a woman and nearly caused a con flagration by again losing her temper said wielding another lighted lamp. The sews was brought out by several of the miners who arrived in this city. The steamer Ora left Dawson Oct. 20 and SO through passengers reached Bennet Sunday morning. Uie Stock Coaveatle.

He rode for the third of a mile record of 30 1-5, made by Willie Windle atChil licothe, O., in the fall of 1895, and was successful in his first attempt. Taylor had quintuple pacing. A strong breese was blowing down the back stretch. The pace, to all appearances, was per fect, but was not fast enough for the colored wonder, who urged the riders to go faster. The pace set carried him the third of a mile in 29 4-5, breafaag Win Jfe's world's record of :90 1-5. Later 'Taylor tried for the three-fourth's of a guns of 1:10, held by J. s.

The Wash ington Poat atate that the war tax will aot be abolighed at the coming short session of congress, that there will be no revision of the tariff whatever. It bases t" ansoosoement upon the posi tive statement Bade by Chairman Ding ley of the ways aad means committee, who in an interview says: "The government will seed for some time all the revenue produced by the war taxes. During the month of Octo ber the war expenditures exceeded the war revenue by some $14,000,000, and this month they will be 110,090,000 in excess. This being the case, there will be no changes at least this fiscal year. The war revenue act will continue in force and unchanged, except, perhaps, in a few minor administrative features, for at least two years. 'It is hardly necessary to add," con tinued Mr. Dingley, "that there will be no revision of the tariff, although I have seen some statements to the effect that such a revision is contemplated. "The session is limited to three months," he said, "and that short period will be mainly occupied in passing the appropriation bills, in enacting new laws, the regular army and deciding upon the legislation necessary for the government of Hawaii. In addition to these important matters, the usual num ber of routine matters will arise.. From the present outlook, the session will be well under way before the treaty of peace with Spain will be laid before the senate and the ratification of that docu ment may not be accomplished long be fore the 4th of March arrives." "Will that necessitate an extra ses sion?" No Extra Session Neeassary. "It is, of course, impossible," said Mr. Dingley, "to know what will arise between the 1st of December and the 4th of noxt March, but so far as the pre sent outlook can form a basis for judg ment, is to say that no extra session will be necessary or desirable unless some new question should rise. In the first place, we shall not know until the treaty of peace has been ratified what new pos sessions we are to have and what legis lation is necessary for them, and even then we will be in no position to act in telligently. I think that the military administration ought to be continued for at least longer. Military adminis tration means the maintenance of order, the establishment of sanitary regula tions, the giving of assistance to those who may need it. It will bring order out of chaos and afford us time to deter mine the wisest legislation. Time al ways enlightens and certainly when congress metts at its regular session in December of next year we will be much better equipped to consider the proper method of dealing without new posses sion." "For my part," added Mr. Dingley, "I hope that the territory to be added will be no larger than is absolutely nec essary. I realize that in some cases it may be easier to hold than it would be to let go, but at the same time I hope that the treaty, when it is presented to the senate, will provide for the acquisi tion of a minimum amount of terri tory." Stewart Claims Elactloa. Chicago, Nov. 15. United States Sen ator Stewart of Nevada telegraphed the following to the Associated Press from Carson, Nev. "The Nevada legislature is composed of 45 members on joint bal lot. The Silver party has elected 80. The silver Democrats have elected two, who will undoubtedly act with the Silver party. The Republicans have elected 13, but two of their seats are seriously contested. The Silver party, in its convention, indorsed me for United States senator and I shall undoubtedly have two-thirds majority in the legisla ture. It is not publicly known how the Republicans will vote. No Silver party man is running against me and no straight ont Republican is seeking the Republican vote. In 1892 1 received the unanimous vote of the Silver men and Republicans." Plaa Disaaadlnr at Army. Hayasa, Nov. 15. General Oalixto Garcia aad his staff and other delegates from the socalled Cuban assembly, will remain at their Mariano headquarters until Wednesday, when they leave for Washington. The delegates expect a satisfactory outcome of their conference with the president. The Cuban dele gates at their last session at Santa Cruz del Sur resolved to discharge all men who have been enlisted since Aug. 14, the date of the cessation of hostilities, and to give indefinite leave of absence to all officers and men desirous of being discharged from the Cuban army, pro vided they give their place of residence and sign a pledge to return to the ranks in case they are called upon to do so. Ckrlataaas Far SaMlara. Sax Fraxcisco, Nov. 15. The United States transport steamer St. Paul, laden with army supplies and Christmas goods for the soldiers in the feilippines, will leave here on Thurs day. There are 4,000 packages for the soldiers, so Christmas will not be de void of its Santa Clans features to the boys on the other side of the world. Owing to the great ill-haalth of the New York volunteers now encamped at Honolulu, that regiment will be sent home as soon as the method of trans portation can be decided upon. It is expected that they will arrive in this city on the tth and 14th of December, when the steamers Australia and Ala meda arrive. Maval OSjear Casaatftt Saldde. Balttxorr, Nov, 15.

Hoxo Koko, Nov. 15. The Filipino junta, together with representatives of General Aguinaldo and the Filipino government here, has drawn np what t&y designate as aa "appeal to Presi dent McKinley and the Ampiif peo ple," but what is in realityrather in the nature of an arraignment of Ameri can actions in the Philippines. The memorial says: "We, the Hong Kong representatives of our countrymen, ap peal to the great and good judgment of President McKinley and the spirit of faiwMwat and justness of the American people as it is always shown in their re sard ft the netitions of the weak aad oppressed. Daatra to Keaa Faacs. While the fate of the islands is still undecided and we are doing all in our power to prevent a conflict between the Americans and Filipinos awaiting pa tiently the conclusions of the Paris con ferencewe implore the intervention of the president, -supported by the will of the people, to end the slights shown our leaders, soldiers and people by some of the American military and naval officers, although we do not wish to wrong Ad miral Dewey or General Otis." The memorial then avers that "false reports are spread broadcast, alleging that the Filipinos are responsible for all the friction," and points out that "the tension is greater every day and any moment a shot maybe fired by an ir responsible American or Filipino sol dier leading to great moousnea, mu beseeches the United States "to help the junta to control our own people by directing American officers to temper their actions with friendship, justice and fairness.'' "From the commencement of the hostilities," continues the meaaoriaL the Filipino acceded to all the Ameri can requests, but after bottling up the Spaniards at Manila, the Filipinos were completely ignored when the Americans advanced and thus deprived of the fruits of victory. Now after months of campaigning the Filipino troops have been ordered beyond the suburbs, where they have no quarters and where sup plies are difficult to obtain. Allourlauches have been seized be cause of a foolish report that we would attack the Americans, and when we asked explanations we were not an swered. The Spaniards have been shown every consideration, while the Filipinos, friends and allies, are often treated as enemies." Mlatotere Daaoaaco Ball. Dss Moines, Nov. 15. The charity ball is fated. The ministers unani mously denounce it. The association this morning adopted a resolution re questing the Associated charities to abandon a public dance on the grounds of conscience. It up holds practices that the church continually discourages and breaks down bars of worldliness. The consen sus of opinion is that the Associated charities should be abundantly sus tained by Christian men and women without resorting to questionable methods, and the charities are therefore respectfully but firmly requested to dis continue the practice. I Do Net Ballara It Was Ceasplracy. i Washington, -Nov. 15. The first in timation that there is anything like an organised conspiracy to prevent the sail ing of the cruiser Buffalo rrached the navy department through the newspa pers and it must be said the officials give very little credence to this story. They say it is frequently the case when a ves sel is hurried away from the navy yard after hasty repairs as was the Buffalo, things go wrong to such an extent as to excite suspicion in some that evil-minded persons are to blame. . May Basalt la Coatallcatleaa With af aslea NooAUS, Art, Nov. 15. Much ex citement exists here in consequence of an episode which threatens to result in international complications. On Sun day last Jamas Temple, a conductor on the New Mexioo and Arizona railroad, was attacked by some Mexicans, and in defending himself shot one of them, Juan Arvalla, fatally. ' This occurred about 2,000 feet north of the interna tfcmal boundary line. Later he returned to his hotel, whieh is south of the line, and was arrested by Mexican officers on a charge of murder. The Mexican au thorities refused to allow the prisoner to be seen. United States Consul Dar nell then appealed to the state depart ment at Washington, and Secretary Hay wired the legation at Mexico to de mand the immediate release of Temple. As yet no word has been reesived from the City of Mexico. Temple is in prison atMagdalena. Taaac Varaaar Casaaatta SalcMU. Lixcols, Nov. 16.

Platte county was carried by the fusionists by from 221 plurality for Hollenbeck, up to 459 for Poynter, and 537 for Robinson. Moran's plurality was 414, Tanner's 308, Dunn's 392, O'Brien's 388, Supervisors-Goetz 14, Diedrich 35, Carrig 44. A -great many farmers failed to vote for some reason. Fleeks Hale of Battle Creek was elect ed state senator in the district north of us by sixty plurality. The World-Herald of Omaha, whose proprietor was defeated for congress, says that twelve out of every hundred fusionists stayed away from the polls. The Fremont Herald, (democratic), no ting the above, says that in Cotterell township, Dodge county, fifty of them didn't go near the polls on election day enough to have changed the complex ion of the whole legislative ticket. The Humphrey Democrat also noticed the lethargy, thus: Never in our re membrance was such a slight interest taken in election as was manifested last Tuesday. There was a big stay at home vote. Locally the decrease in the vote was about 20 per cent. As we write this paragraph, Saturday, complete returns are all in from all but six counties of the state. These coun ties last year gave Sullivan a plurality of 411. If the same rate of gains for re publicans holds good in these as in other counties, Poynter's plurality in them will not be over 860. It seems then that a fair estimate is that Poynter's plural ity is about 2,900. The probability is that the remainder of the state ticket is about the same. The Lincoln Journal of Saturday says that the republican state committee con cede the election of the fusion state ticket and announce more positively than ever that the legislature had been carried by the republicana "If, as is claimed, the legislature is 13' majority for the republicans on joint ballot, W. V. Allen will not be re-elected r United States senator. Burkett in the First, and Mercer in the Second, are the two republican con gressmen elect in Nebraska, the other four being fusion. Montana goes democratic: '''Kansas republican by about 13,000. Edwin Bidgely of the Third district will be the only populist among the congressmen in the state. The republicans will have a majority of fifty-two on joint ballot in the legis lature. Theodore Roosevelt, republican, late colonel of the First United States volunteer cavalry, has been elected governor by nearly 20,000- Aliof Col.

Frank Hatton of the Burlington,(Iowa) Daily Hawkeye, sent us a copy of his stupendous Fourth of July edition.

LIFE IT ALSACE. Sunday Dinner at Heme. a Farmer's Under ordinary circumstances, an invi tation to dinner is not to be refused, and when our old school-mate living in the suburbs of the city, insisted on having us partake of his hospitality, we accepted with pleasure. A lovely day with a cloudless sky, such as is seldom seen in Alsace greeted us on the appointed day, and as we followed the walk that leads through the well kept grounds to the dwelling-house, it seemed to us we had never seen the flowers bloom in such perfection, never had the hundreds of trees which adorn the grounds displayed their foliage to bettor advantage. Getting closer to the house, rustic benches presented an invit ing appearance; rocks piled up as if nature pad left them there in one of her s'treaks of fancy and a few venerable trees close by made a fitting prelude to the entrance of the home of our hospita ble friend. Received with marked affability by Mrs. de R, the governess, we were intro duced to the heiress, who also quite young, seemed to enjoy the procedure, and were then ushered into the apart ments adjoining the dining room and are soon joined by Mr. S?, wftp has a few orders to give yet to some of Us'sasn,' We had only exchanged a few words I when Mrs. de B. announces that dinner ! is ready and we take our seats at the table. Mere is the menu: Potas a la Julienne. Boenf a la mode do Cat b. . Brochet with saace mayoaaaise. Poalet roti with salad. Dessert, fraita, cookies, etc Mrs. de B. evidently is a good cook herself or else has her servants trained to perfection; the soup is delicious and after partaking of the well-done beef, we are asked to sample some home-grown wine. The next course of the dinner is brought on, we try a bottle of another kind of wine which adds to the flavor of the fine fish and reminds us of by-gone days;, while we part nice of the poulet rbti, we see our friend uncork another bottle of old wine, and did we not know him so well, we would suspect him of some wicked design, but as some fresh wine glasses are brought around, and the wine flowing out of the bottle presents that oily appearance which is only acquired by age, we are quite ready to sample this home-grown product. It is called vinde la Hart, and although some what too strong for our individual taste, we are convinced that Bacchus himself would drink it with relish. Another and another bottle of wine are brought up, each of a different kind, and although we remonstrate, it is of v.o avail; we are simply reminded that it may be n long time before we meet asain. Mrs. de B. who is a charming hostess, adds to the enjoyment of the occasion by her bright conversation and her witty remarks, and helps us in our work of sampling the different wines. Dinner is at last over, our friend is satisfied that we have done justice to the product of his vineyards; Mrs. de B. orders the table cleared and the black coffee is served. We are asked what kind of brandy wo take with our coffee, and although we usually leave out all liquors, we feel tempted to try the home-distilled kirsch, whose fine qualitv is vau nted by ou r f rien d. We hnd hoped thus to escape the new ordeal, but Mr. S. is supplied with a great variety of home made brandies and insists on our sampling them. Rather than be thought unkind, we bravely go to work and after we have tasted his pmnolle, his anisette, his peach and grape brandy, etc., we feel as if we could lift a mountain and write poetry at the same time. We now adjourn to the parlor whose careful furnishing and tasteful adorn ment testify to the good taste of the departed mistress. In honor of her memory the room is left as she loved to see it during her lifetime; family por traits and a few oil paintings adorn the walls, a little bric-a-brac, a collection of rare shells skillfully arranged on the mantelpiece give the room a home like and attractive appearance; a waxed oak floor, that luxury so dear to the heart of the Alsacian woman, gives one the feel ing as if walking on silk, and so far as cleanliness is concerned, is certainly superior to the universal American carpet. Our friend now suggests that we take a stroll through the orchard. Only set out a few years ago, most of the trees are already in bearing; apples, pears, prunes, plums, peaches, apricots, almost every kind of fruit is to be found here. Nor has small fruit been lost sight of either, strawberries, raspberries.currants, goose berries cover part of the ground and wherever there is a square foot of ground not taken up, grape vines are planted and are loaded with the luscious fruit. Not a weed is to be seen in the whole orchard, and apparently no one is ever allowed to grow there. Mr. b s. brother, Mr. G., who is something of a misan thrope, worse than that almost a miso gynist, is the one who looks after the orchard, and failing to find an interest in what ho calls depraved humanity, devotes his time to the growing of flowers, shrubs and trees, whose endless variety adorning the gardens and the grounds, puzzle the novice. Thousands and thousands of varieties of flowers shrubs and trees, no two alike, fill every inch of available space in the grounds facing the street; hundreds of different kinds of cactus kept during the winter in the hot bouse, now luxuriate in the bright sunshine; some are growing np, some are growing down, some resemble a man stretching out his arms, each and every one of the thorny plants seemingly at home in its appointed place. We now find a shady nook provided with benches and a table. A gentleman and his three daughters living in the city soon join us; our friend sends for a few bottles of beer, and as the conversation progresses now in French, then in Gor man, a la mode du pays, we feel quite an interest in the three girls, the oldest one of which has scarcely reached her teens; bright, lively, full of mischief, they romp, they play, they join in the conversation, when suddenly our eccentric friend, Mr. G. addresses them in English. Great was our surprise to hear English from bis lips; greater was it yet to hear each one of the girls as addressed answer him without hesitation in the same language. Several times already we had met young people who bad only enjoyed a common school education and who surprised us with their knowledge of English. Even making due allowance for the thorough ness of the German schools in all their branches, might it not be that Germany has some ambitious design in view. A good many over sanguine and patriotic Germans proudly assert that no country on earth could resist an invasion of their army, and is it possible that they could be dreaming of making a conquest of that island in tho North Sea, and are already prep-iring their sons and daugh ters by the acquisition of the language to take possession at soma future time, of the coveted country; it ia unreasona ble to suppose such a thing after theit bombastic bravado aud ridiculous pre tensions at Manila. Time passes quickly in good company; it has seemed only a few hours and nearly the whole afternoon has passed away; we must bid our friendB good evening and take our departure; but Mrs. de B. strongly objects, positively refuses to let US' go, and insists that we must stay to supper; while we are trying to convince her that it is impossible for us to stay, Mr. S., who had been called away for a few moments makes bis appearance, and between his positively expressed wish and Mrs. de B's. entreat ies not to leave, we postpone our depart ure for a few hours, A careful survey of the yard, the barns, the granaries convinces us that order, cleanliness and precision are some of the qualities of Mr. S., who not only raises all kinds of farm products but daily furnishes to his city customers some hundred gallons of milk of first quality. Scientific feeding with a great variety of feed, absolute cleanliness and a daily record of the quantity of milk given by each cow undoubtedly con tribute largely to the success of the business. An hour or so thus passes away and it is time for supper. As is customary in Alsace, this meal is a good deal simpler than the first meal of the day; neverthe less, it neither lacks variety nor tempting dishes, and we also partake freely of several kinds of wine. When the meal is nearly over, our friend invites us to take a cup of tea to finish off, a 1 Anglaise, as it were. But now we object and feel that this indeed is an imposi tion and that we must draw the line somewhere. With true self abnegation we sampled every bottle of Alsacian wine offered us, we silenced our well known temperance scruples and mani fested as good appreciation of the qual ities of the wine as any native could have done; no son of Erin could have done better justice to the fine brandies, we drank beer with a gusto that would have done credit to a full-blooded Teuton; and now we are asked to ape the people of the country across the 'Channel; although' we love the English we posi tively decline to partake of their national beverage. Mr. S. escorts us part way home, Mrs. de B. offers to accompany us to the Land of the Free; but it would be more than wicked to deprive our friend of bis capable governess; and Sunday ends as pleasantly as it began, a day of bright sunshine followed by a star-lit night.
