TnE treaty of peace was signed by the president Friday afternoon. The coldest point heard from Friday morning was at Prince Albert, Canada, where it registered 42' below zero. Oxe of the great needs of the United States is merchant ships to carry our products. Of course when we get at it in earnest, we will not be excelled, but we hare been engaged up to now "doing chores in the back yard." Mr. and Mrs. Dr. John Watson sailed Wednesday last from Liverpool on the steamship Teutonic for New York. He will deliver several lectures between New York and California. He has completed his "Life of Christ." The court of inquiry appointed by the president to examine into the charges made by General Miles against the ad ministration .of war affairs, consists of Major General Wade, Colonel George W. Davis, Ninth infantry, and Colonel Gillespie, corps of engineers now station ed in New York. The steamship Coptic sailed from San Francisco Sunday for China and Japan, via Honolulu, with a largo number of passenpora Consignments of medical supplies for the American officers and sailors at Manila were forwarded on the Coptic, which also carried thousands of letters to men in the Philippines. Yankton, S. D., had, Sunday morning, one of the most horrifying fires in her history, at the State Insano asylum. There were poor facilities for fighting fire; only one narrow stairway for an exit; inmates were driven out into a temperature of twenty below zero; fifty two persons were in the structure, and seventeen unfortunates are missing. Dr. Conan Dovle's new novel, "A Duet, with an Occasional Chorus," is a story of a happy married life. The book is to appear in England and America early this spring. It is said that the author has worked out his idea very interestingly, and such a story ought to help to balance the many tales of marital woe wjth which the reading world has been depressed of late years. The Omaha World-Herald calls atten tion to the fact that a direct all-rail route to Mobile, a distance of 900 miles from Omaha, is desirable, making it the most" direct and available seaport for this part of the middle west Mobile is the third largest fruit importing city in the United States, and can take our corn, Hour, butter, eggs, cheese and about everything we can raise and manufacture. The insurgents have already learned that there is a vast difference between tho methods of the United States and Spain. There will be no wholesalo shooting of native prisoners on the lunetta after this battle. The Filipinos will soon learn that American rule does not mean slavery and death for them. As soon as this fact sinks through their skulls there will bo a quite unanimous movement for peace and American pro tection. Lincoln Journal. The Blair Pilot says of the change of Fisher from Valentine to Thompson, in the legislature last week, "Fisher was captain of a company in the Second Ne braska and is desirous of obtaining an appointment in the regular army. Brad Slaughter is managing the Thompson canvas and has promised Mr. Fisher a commission in the regular army for his support of Thompson. This promise is no doubt made through the endorse ment of Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn and others." Last Saturday, in order to get an expression of the sentiment of republi cans for United States senator, E. Mclntyro prepared a ballot box and pro ceeded to get the votes of the first one hundred republicans he met. After one hundred ballots had been deposited in the box it was opened and they were counted, resulting as follows: Judge Hay ward SG, E. J. Hainer 13, A. W. Field 1. The choice of tho republicans of Seward county outside of the city will run in about the same proportion. Sew ard Blade. A tribe of Turguses, inhabiting the Timur peninsula, North Siberia, recent ly informed the Russian police chief of the district that on January 7 last, in the province of Yeniseisk, they found a cabin constructed of cloth and cordage, apparently belonging to a balloon. Close by were the bodies of three men, the head of ono body crushed. It is thought this may by Andre and his companions, who left tho Danish islands of the Spitzbergen group, July 11, 1897, in attempt to cross the north pole point According to the Railway Agent of Cleveland, the pennant for fast running on American railroads has been trans ferred from the east to the country west of the Mississippi river. The splendid showing made by the Burlington fast mail trains between Chicago and Council Bluffs is what has brought about the change. These trains now make the 500 mile run between Lake Michigan and the Missouri river at the rate of nearly M miles an hour including stops. The first exclusive fast mail train for the west left Chicago March 11, 1884. It consisted of a mail car and a baggage car. Two trains, one of four, the other of five cars are now required. The schedule of the first fast mail was 15 hours 50 minutes. The present schedule is 10 hours 15 minutes. VOLUNTEER VICTORY. The Triaanh of Citizen Soldiers in the Suburbs of Manila. The American volunteer has certainly made a most impressive bow in our new theatre in the far east With the excep tion of the Fourteenth Infantry and the -Sixth artillery, the regulars were not engaged in the battle which raged around Manila Saturday night and Sunday. It was foagbt and won by volunteers in a Hold the Philippines with a just and firm hand. sboooooooocxxxxxxxxxKsaoooos n.m.or which will onen the eyes of Europe and Asia to the real merits of the American soldier. In all her long years of contention with rebellious islanders Spain has never fought, much less gained, so signal a battle. England herself has not made her presence felt as quickly nor as effec tively in the new lands which she has overrun. More than ten years of cam paigning and preparation elapsed be tween Chinese Gordon's fall and Sirdar Kitchener's rise, and the troops which slew and routed the dervishes at Khar toum were the flower of British armies inured to the hardships of tropical life and re-enforced by a multitude of native allies who fought the fanatics in their own way and with their own weapons. Tho performances of the American volunteer troops in the Philippines are extraordinary, measured by any standard or any precedent. The attack of the hostile natives was sudden, if not unex pected. More than half the Filipinos were armed with Mauser or Remington rifles, intrenched in defensible redoubts and trained in past conflicts with the armies of Spain. There seems to have been no lack of ammunition among the riflemen of Luzon, for the official dis patches relate that tho "insurgents fired great quantities of cartridges." There was neither hesitation nor doubt in the conduct of the Americans, and the brief reports of General Otis and Admiral Dewey note the soldierly demeanor of the volunteers. The west is doubly proud of the achievements of our army of the Philip pines. With the exception of Pennsyl vania, every volunteer regiment engaged hails from a western state. California, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota and Montana were repre sented. The lists of dead and wounded prove that every regiment did its duty. The chapter enacted at Manila this week is a worthy supplement to the victories of our soldiers and sailors and a crown ing vindication of tho American citizen soldier. St. Louis Republic. CONCERNING THE SOLDIERS. General Miller has captured Iloilo, without loss. Natives provoked assault. Not a single American killed, so far as known. Dewey notified the navy department that he has seized another schooner loaded with arms and ammunition in tended for Aguinaldo and his followers. Information in the possession of the authorities is to the effect that the Ger man consul at Hong Kong was concerned in the sale of the arms to the Filipinos. A telegram from Manila under date of Feb. 12, 4:50 p. m., says: It is now known that the Filipino loss is fully 2, C00 killed, with wounded vastly in ex cess of that number, and thousands held prisoners. All this has been achieved at the cost of sixty-five Americans killed and 27(5 wounded. Manila, Feb. 11.-5:25 p. m. The heat knocked out more of our men than did the Filipino bullets, especially in the marsh lands north of Malabon, where tho Kansas regiment was stationed. Fully a score of them were taken to the hospital. Among the incidents of the day it is cited that Privates Hartly and Fitch of the Thirteenth Minnesota regi ment were both wounded in the legs by the same bullet and Private Mitchell of Company B of the Kansas regiment, while assisting a couple of men to the rear, was shot in the left arm. The railroad is now open to Caloocan and supplies for the troops are being for warded by rail. Manila, Feb. 9. The Filipinos at Caloocan opened fire last evening just before midnight upon the Kansas out posts on the extremo left of the Ameri can line. They maintained a fusillade of musketry, supplemented by an occasional shot from two big guns, for about twenty minutes. Tho Americans did not reply. The enemy fired at long range and nobody was hurt. All was quiet along the rest of the line and there was no change in the American position during the night The First Wyoming infantry relieved the Twenty-third infantry at the water works yesterday, the latter return ing to provost guard in the city, which is gradually resuming its normal appear ance. The Tennessees have just sailed for Iloilo on the transport St. Paul. Brigadier General Miller's forces now consist of Battery G, the Sixth and Eighteenth regular infantry regiments and half a signal company, with the Bal timore, Boston and Petrel. Washington, Feb. 12. The following cablegrams was received at the War de partment today: Manila, Feb. 12. Adjutant General, Washington: It is reported here that the insurgent representative at Washing ton telegraphed Aguinaldo to drive out the Americans before the arrival of rein forcements. A dispatch was received at Hong Kong and mailed to Malalos, which decided that an attack should be made about Pebruary 7. The eagerness of insurgent troops for the engagement precipitated a battle. It is very quiet today on the lines from Caloocan on the north to Panay on the south. Yesterday a small reconnoitering party, twelve miles south of the city, was fired on and two men were slightly wounded. Two insurgents with arms were captured. The affair of February 10, engaging McArthur's division, was very successful. The enemy's loss was considerable. We have collected seventy dead bodies and there are more not yet discovered. The insurgents are reported to be gathering in force twelve miles north on the rail way, but they are in confusion. Manila, Feb. 10.-7:40 p. m. The American forces at 3:40 this afternoon made a combined attack on Caloocan and reduced it in short order. At a signal from the tower of the De Lome church, the United States double- turreted monitor Mouadnock, opened fire from the bay, with the big guns of its forward turret on the earthworks with great effect. Soon afterward the Utah battery bombarded the place from the land side. The rebels reserved their fire until the bombardment ceased, when they fired volleys of musketry as the Montana regiment advanced on the jungle. Tho Kansas regiment on the extreme left, with the Third artillery deploying to the right, charged across the open cheering, and carried the earthworks un der a heavy fire. Supported by the ar tillery at the church, the troops further advanced, driving the enemy, fighting every foot, right into the town line, pene trated to the Presidencia, and lowered the Filipino flag at 5:30 p. m. The enemy's sharpshooters in the jungle on the right, fired at long range on the Pennsylvania regiment, but the rebels were soon silenced by shrapnel shells and the Pennsylvunians remained in the trenches. As the Americans ad vanced they burned the native huts. The rebels were mowed down like grass, but tho American loss was slight. Washington, Feb. 10. The following dispatch from General Otis was received tonight: "Manila, Feb. 10. Adjutant General: Insurgents collected considerable force between Manila and Caloocan, where Aguinaldo is reported to be, and threat ened an attack and uprising in the city. Swung left of McArthur's division, which is north of Pasig river, into Caloocan, driving the enemy easily. Our left is now at Caloocan. Our loss slight, that of insurgents considerable. Par ticulars in the morning. Attack pre ceded by one-half hour's firing from two of Admiral Dewey's vessels. Otis." zwMiiimuiimiiiiimiiinHiraimiiiraiH E w ann IJtars ca MiMinitiiiiiiMiiiimimuimiHmiiiiuni Our notes this week begin with August 22, 1877, and end with January 30, 187a George E.

Clark Cooncey bought thirty-one spring calves at $12 a head, and David Csrrig eight yearlings at $20.25 a head. Many of you folks remember the air "Pop Goes the Weasel." Here is a stanza, as sung by a boy coming into The Journal office: "Wrap us np in the American flag, Tuck ns under the Eagle, Tickle oar ear with a barter straw. Pop goes the weasel." This paragiaph appears in The Jodr- ; nal of September 26, 1877: "P. J. Panly & Bros., jail builders, have sent forward the material for making Platte county's cage, which will be 11x24 feet, containing three cells and a hallway; the material will weigh 19,000 lbs. W. B. Dale is now their agent for this 6tate." The Journal's platform those days was stated thus: Givo us greenbacks payable for all dues, public and private, and redeemable in gold and silver coin, with a government bond bearing 3.65 per cent interest, issuable in sums as low as fifty dollars, and we will be satisfied with the finances provided we can get a reasonable share of either. James Scully, residing on the old Paw nee Reservation, (now Nance county) left with us some very interesting antiquities, parts of utensils tlmt may have figured among tho household goods of the ante diluvian inhabitants of Nebraska, and near where they were unearthed exist many evidences that the antique race known as "Mound Builders" once inhab ited that section. In tho record of commissioners' pro ceedings for November 13, 1877, appears the following: "On motion the clerk was instructed to draw a warrant on general fund in favor of P. J. Pauly & Bro. for the sum of three hundred and ninoty-five dollars as part pay on jail work as per order issued by P. J. Pauly & Bro. to Will. B. Dale and assigned by Will. B. Dale to Thos. Flynn & Son. On Thursday, November 15, 1877, at 11:35 a. m., two distinct waves of earth quake, with numerous tremors, were felt here, lasting about thirty seconds. At the brick school house in district num ber one (two stories) the walls were cracked from the foundation up in two places, and the school children so thor oughly frightened that they rushed out of the building and could not bo per suaded to re-enter it. School was dis missed for the day. The court house wall was cracked in one place. Some of the framo buildings creaked and swayed considerably. Hon. Schuyler Colfax, in company of his former townsmen, Marshall Smith and John Hnber, gave The Journal sanctum a short visit, and detailed some items of his twenty-ono years' experience as a newspaper publisher. We had often wondered why it was that South Bend folks were so enthusiastic over Mr. Col fax, and that without distinction of party, but now we think we know why it is. A man who is capable of thinking and acting with entire justice to one who opposes him strenuously in his opinions, is not an ordinary man and is well worthy the good opinion of his fellow-citizens. Mr. Colfax had delivered a lecture in the opera house upon Lincoln, illustrating by fact and anecdote the exceeding ten derness as well as the ponderous strength of Lincoln's nature; his wonderful abil ity to state a whole treatise in a single sentence, and condense a campaign into a telling phrase; his bold independence, and, undor all circumstances, strict adherence to his conscientious convic tions of right and duty. Good for Ames. It is now definitely settled that Ames is to havo the largest manufacturing plant for beet sugar, in the state, a ca pacity ultimately of 1,000 tons a day. The factory, says the Fremont Tribune, will be built this season. As soon as spring opens dirt will begin to fly, the meanwhile being well occupied in get ting everything ready for active building operation. It is expected that tho whole plant will be completed, ready for sugar making, by the first of October, though the crop of boots will not be ready for working until a month or more after that date. The factory will be located on the Standard Cattle company's land, a short distance north of the depot at Ames, though the exact spot has not yet been selected. This year machinery will be put in sufficient to handle 500 tons a day, room being provided in all the buildings for installing additional ma chinery so as to bring the capacity next year up to 1,000 tons. This is for the reason that it is not expected that a sufficient quantity of beets can be con tracted for at this time to supply a thousand-ton factory this season. The plant will be built and equipped bp the Oxnard Construction company, though this concern has no interest whatever in the new factory beyond the building of it. The Oxnards have erected a half a dozen factories for themselves and their experience well qualifies them for the work they will have to do. Tho principal stockholders of the company are members of the Standard Cattle company, a corporation of a million dol lars capital. They are for the most part Boston men, some of them worth many millions. It will thus be seen that there is unlimited capital behind this gigantic enterprise. The cost will be from $500,000 to $750, 000. The Standard Cattle company has 5,000 acres and an option on 3,000 ad ditional, and expect to raise a large por tion or the beets used. - - The Journal congratulates the pro jectors of the enterprise on their choice of location for Nebraska's third sugar beet factory, knowing that in the nature of things, others will follow elsewhere, and Nebraska's rich garden-soil will be come still more fertile as the years go by, and opportunities for acquiring wealth are improved.
