The legislature is to examine into the state auditor's office. It is believed that the severe cold weather has killed off the yellow fever germs in the south. Last Wednesday the son shone bright at Washington City from a clear blue sky, on snow three feet deep. The Potomac river was covered with a twelve-inch coating of ice daring the freezing weather, suspending navigation. M. Felix Fatjbe, president of the French republic, died suddenly at 10 o'clock last Thursday night He had been ill only three hours, his death fol lowing a stroke of apoplexy at G:30 the same evening. The deadest man in Nebraska's legis lature today, is he who is voting for the Senator that his constituents do not want elected. If there is any man who imagines that the p eople do not rule even in Nebraska, just watch closely the man who daily misrepresents his consti tuents. Friend Telegraph. Gek. John M. Palmer is to be given a pension of $50 a month. The commit tee reported as follows on a bill for that purpose: "Nearly always an office holder and always strictly honest, he finds him self, in his eighty-second year, without means of a living, broken health, blind in one ere and rapidly losing the sight of the other." Tubee farmers were frozen to death near Dallas, Texas, during the storm last week; another farmer, taking a load of feed to Middletown, New York, was found frozen to death, being buried under a load of bags; and 'in West Vir ginia, near Huntington, Robert Fowler, aged 83, and Mary Halstead, aged 74, were frozen to de&th. The new Maine will be built by the Cramp Ship Building company and at the company's yard at 11 o'clock last Wednesday the first piece of the keel of the vessel was laid. The builders will endeavor to have the new battleship ready for launching February 15 of next year, and to have her ready for service on the third anniversary of the sinking of the Maine. Tire Associated Press last Wednesday received the following from Jacksonville: "The snow covered all of Florida as far south as Tampa on tho west coast and St. Augustine on the east. Vegetables were generally killed. It is difficult at this time to estimate the damage done to orange groves, but it is considerable. Many trees were in bloom and tho blos soms were killed." Another use has been found for corn stalks. The pith of the west's staple product is not only demonstrated to be of value in the construction of battle ships, but recent experiments have dem onstrated it to be the best body for smokeless powders. By the time scien tists get through experimenting there will be nothing allowed to go to waste except the rustle of the blades in the summer breeze. Omaha Bee. The mortgago records of tho counties of Gage, Platte and Richardson show that during the last ear there were filed in these counties mortgages on farm and town property aggregating tho sum of $592,324.62, while during the same period encumbrances of $088,997.81 on the same class of property wero paid off. From which it would appear that prosperity in those sections of the state is no longer an iridescent dream, but a glittering fact. Omaha Bee. Colonel Marcus P. Miller of the Third regiment of Iowa will be nomin ated brigadier general in the regular army. General Miller commanded the military forces which captured the city of Iloilo without the loss of a man, and his promotion is in recognition of his meritorious services on that occasion. The new brigadier general is a native of Massachusetts and was graduated from West Point in 1858. He served through out the civil war with gallantry and was breveted three times. Later he served on the frontier, fighting Indians. There seems to have been quite a number of crooked transactions in the state auditor's office. The investigation may be an object-lesson to many Ne braska 6tate and county officials, con veying tho all-embracing fact that the sovereignty is with the people, and that the constitution of the state and the statutes enacted in pursuance of the same, are the people's will and the peo ple's command, and that there is no safety to officials except in the further ance of that will in its true spirit, and the faithful execution of the letter of the law. The official, high or low, who thinks or acts otherwise is simply a "Binart Alek." Americans in Congress are not the only ones who have been giving aid to the Filipinos. The men in Congress who have been lauding Aguinaldo as a Philippine George Washington, and the savages who make up the greatest parts of his forces, and who not only violated the laws of nations by attacking our soldiers but who kill and mutilate pris oners, fire upon Red Cross ambulances and the bearers of a .flag of truce, as patriots, gave them moral aid, but the American owner of the schooner loaded with arms and ammunition, which was seized by Dewey was doing his level . beet to give them material aid. Which of the two classes deserve the most con demnation is a question that each man may determine for himself. Ex. WHY WE FIGHT. "What, then are we fighting for?" in quires the Omaha World-Herald in speaking of the conflict between our troops sad the insurgents at Manila. That's easy. We are fighting because we -happen to have an interest in the Philippines, ceded to us as a part of the spoils of a war begun at the behest of ' every yellow journal in the country and voted for by nearly every anti-republican aesaber of congress. We axe fighting because, after the vie- SUE FOR PEACE, AGGIE. Three kindred Missouri males are to be sent to Manila. This great military adjunct saYed the boys at Santiago from fighting on an empty stomach and may be depended on to repeat the highly important exploit in the Philippines. uioDe - tory was so brilliantly won, twenty-five democratic members of the senate block ed the ratification .of the peace treaty and played into the hands of the wily Aguinaldo, encouraging the dastard to assault the American forces at Manila in the blind hope of driving the intrepid troops under the gallant Dewey and Otis, out of the island and thwarting the legitimate right of the United States to say bow the Philippine question is to be dealt with. The democratic journals and the dem ocratic party are interested only in pro voking trouble for the administration at home and abroad. They have a vast capacity for evil, but they will scarcely succeed in undoing the patriotic achieve ments of the administration and in pressing down a crown of infamy on the head of the president for the personal benefit of WJ.Bryan. Fremont Tribune. AS TO TAXES. Keep tabs on your taxes, real and per sonal. Make a list; have a safe place to keep receipts, and keep them so that they can be referred to readily; have receipts from the county treasurer counter-signed by the county clerk. If you know that you, yourself, have paid all your real estate taxes, then of course you will know that nobody is running a 20-per cent claim on you for delinquent taxes, but know about it and don't guess. If somebody holds a tax certificate on you find out who it is, and see to it at the earliest practicable moment, because of the title. In the meantime read the fol lowing from the Omaha Bee, concerning Senate File No. 11, now before the legis lature, and which looks simple and harmless enough. It consists of these few lines: Section 1. Every county treasurer shall have an official seal, on which shall be engraved the words "County Treas urer," the name of the county of which he shall be treasurer and the word "Ne braska." The impression of said seal by stamping shall be a sufficient sealing in all cases where sealing is required. Those lines brought out as much debate, however, as have most of the bills thus far considered. The bill proved that some measures have a much deeper meaning than appears on their face. The facts are that in chapter lxxvii of the Compiled Statutes, under the title "Revenue," is a provision for the issuance of tax deeds by county treas urers to holders of tax certificates after the time allowed by law for redemption has expired. It further provides that these deeds must be issued by county treasurers under their "official seals." But no provision for an official seal for this office has ever been made and the supreme court has decided that no tax deed issued by county treasurers is valid because the "official seal" is not attached according to the provisions of the law. Consequently the enactment of this bill would complete the provisions of tho law granting treasurers the right to issue tax deeds. Hence the opposition to the bill "in a nutshell." Those against the bill believe it is placing too much power in treasurer's hands to al low them to make tax deeds without further proceedings. They fear it would work a hardship upon the poorer classes who can't pay their taxes. At present the only way to secure title from a tax certificate is to foreclose the tax lien in the district court. CONCERNING THE SOLDIERS. George M. Andrews, who was killed at Manila, was in his twentieth year, his home being in Beatrice. The Attorney-General has decided that when peace is declared the volun teers must be mustered out, which may bring the boys of the First and Third Nebraska home in the next three or four months. Charles T. Miner writes home from Manila, under date of January 5, some particulars in regard to their prepara tions to meet any attack that tho Fili pinos might make upon them. His ver sion of the situation is not at all that American soldiers forced the fighting, the language he uses being: "They tried to force our outposts back, but gave it up as a bad job. They are all right just now, but we have orders to sleep with our clothes on." The United States transport Sheridan pulled out from her pier in Brooklyn Sunday afternoon on her way to Manila by way of the Suez canal, with 1,835 en listed men and officers of the Seven teenth United States infantry and their wives and families to the number of ninety persons. The Sheridan is con' sidered the best appointed of the three army transports which have sailed from Brooklyn. Without accident the Sheri dan is expected to reach Manila in about fifty days. Manila, Feb. 10. The California vol unteers abandoned Guadaleupo church at 5 o'clock this morning, which has since been set on fire, and retired to San Pedro Macati The rebels still hold the country in the vicinity of Guadeloupe, Pasig and Patero despite the efforts of the gunboats to dislodge them from the jungle on both sides of the river. The heat is intense and is increasing percep tibly daily. Under present conditions it is impossible to provide shade for the troops in certain parts of the line, partic ularly MacArthur's division. King's brigade is also exposed from San Pedro Maccti to Culiculi, where it joins Oven shine's brigade. Camp Saxta Mesa, Manila, P. L, Sunday, Jan. 8, 1899. Deab Bbotheb: Those Christmas boxes that were sent to members of Co. K, did not come, and I tell you there were a great many disappointed soldier boys in Co. K Christmas morniug, but I had reason to feel proud because I re ceived the only Christmas box that came to the company. It was from Musche Oehlrich and contained a pack age of Durham smoking, a nice French brier pipe, a plug of Piper Heideaick, uemocrat. so; three packages chewing gum, a sack of nice candy etc. I am now playing the snare drum in the band, having been with them three weeks. There are 25 members, and Col. Stotsenberg has given orders to increase to thirty-five. We are camped five miles east of Manila, not far from the Pasig river, on elevated ground, which gives us a nice view of the surrounding country. The boys say this camp is the healthiest one they have been in on the Islands. There are only three or four on the sick roll at present. I am enjoy ing the best of health. Walt and Tom Cuffrey send regards. Walt has two monkeys, very cute, that he is going to take home one of them for Freddie Baker. The rooster that Winston gave us is a fine bird. He whipped four the other day, and the native offered us 20 pesos ($10 in Ameri can money) for him, but we want to take him home with us. The boys won't part with him for anything. Monday, January 9. The Company has orders to get ready to move at a moment's notice, with 200 rounds of smokeless cartridges. We expect trouble with Insurgents. The Wyoming battery are on their way out from Manila. Our regiment is going to the waterworks two miles away and will try to get possession. I have not the least bit of fear of anything serious hap pening, and if the First starts in on them they are going to give a good account of themselves. One of the band boys saw me getting ready, and asked me if I wasn't going to stay with the band. I told him that the band had received no orders, and anyway I couldn't kill any Insurgents with a drum. I send you a native paper "AngKaibigan NangPayan" to show yon the language they "spiel." Love to all, Fbank C. Turner. The paper sent is something of a curi osity. The date line reads: Taon 11, Sabado, 7 de Enero, 1899, Num. 3. One sentence, evidently, of Agninaldo's pro clamation, reads: Sa nasabing pahayag ay nalalagay si General Otis na Gober- nador Militar sa boong Filipinas nguni't aco ay macalilibong tumutol ng boong lacas niyaring calolona sa caniyang capangyarihan. Cipher it out for jour self. Ed. Journal. Jan. 8, 1899. Ed. Journal: A little incident oc curred here Wednesday night between our out post and the Insurgents which, had it not been for the cool heads of our boys, might have resulted seriously for all concerned. We have an out post on a bridge about half a mile from camp. The Insurgents have a post on the same bridge, and, up to Wednesday, had ap parently been on friendly terms. Cor poral John Brock was corporal of the out post and had just stationed tho sec ond relief and returned to the quarters of the post when the guard called out corporal of the guard. Of course the corporal started down the road to see what was the matter. Imagine his sur prise when on reaching the bridge he found our boys covered with nine Rem ington rifles, in the hands of as many vicious looking natives. He saw at once that the Insurgents had the best of the situation, as our guards do' not carry loaded rifles. So the corporal ordered the two guards to open the chambers of their rifles so as to show the Insurgents they had nothing to fear from three men with empty guns. At the same time he managed to attract the attention of the natives thus giving the other boys a chance to load on the sly. They in turn ordered the Insurgent captain to have his men unload their rifles, which they did without a second invitation. The boys then backed the whole outfit to their end of the bridge. The affair was telegraphed to headquarters at Ma nila and General Hale and staff were soon at the scene. After hearing the ac count of the affair he approved of the plan our boys adopted, and said it would not have been advisable to withdraw from the bridge, as in so doing it would give the natives the impression that they had bluffed us out that night. G. S. Written for Tui Journal. SOUTH POLE. The mean annual temperature of the polar areas is zero. At the south the waters of ocean extend to the base of the mountains, and there is an ice cap stand ing above the water level a hight of from 100 feet to 300 feet, that covers the Antarctic continent At its base, ships are unable to attain soundings. The ice cliffs break off and float away. ' But little rain or snow falls at our north, while at the south they are tor rential. During the southern 'Bummer, the waters pour from the ice cliffs. The precipitation is greater than the' flowing away, else there would be no ice cap, and an open polar sea, otherwise on top of such ice caps, is fudge. This greater ocean ice cap, and rain fall, as well as ellipses, are due to a trend, and the apsides of each ellipse is inclined to this trend. There is an English expedition now trying to explore the south ice cap. They may land, but not go farby reason of the rushing waters. If they do they are liable on return if winter to be buried in snow. One-tenth of an inch of water makes one inch of snow, and one foot of water makes ten feet of snow. In Ceylon in December, 1897T there fell thirty inches of water in twenty-four hours. This expedition may find gold by dig ging or diving down several miles. Polar ice moves, through expansion and contraction. Former ice at our north pole has aided to hollow out a basin, that is given as thirteen miles deep. No such basin exists at the south pole now, except at the bottom of the ocean and ice. Our globe most rotate upon its lesser axis, and it is difficult to get the lesser axis as now out of our north polar basin. But with -additions to the south icecap, this shorter axis may move to the border of the' south ice field. We find this is the condition as we now see it upon the planet Venus, which gives very great inclination to Venus. The evidence shows that on Venus it is colder than do our Earth; and on our , -J. Earth than on Mars; and on Mars than on Jupiter. And our Moon is still colder, and the moon has turned its ice cap to the earth, and holds that position as it moves round tho globe, .always keeping the same face to the earth. This gives to the moon a fortnight day, and a fortnight night, which makes the moon one of the short-time variable stars. But such can not explain how suns are variable, nor the disappearance and reappearance of whole star clusters. Our moon oscillates a trifle, giving "motion in libation." Thus, at times we can see a little more of one side, or of one pole, than at other times. E. J. Couch.

Babcock has written for the Omaha Bee, under U..10 or the 18th, the following which wiii ua ot interest to all local readers of The Journal: We would like to call the attention of your readers to the power possible for Omaha. In the Bee of February 4 Sid ney H. Short, a noted electrician, is quoted as saying that a power plant is being constructed on the Santa Ana river in California and 12,000 horse power will be available in Los Angeles, eighty miles distant," and continues: "In short, the electrical machinery is in every way up to date and it is confi dently asserted that at a pressure of 33,000 volts current may be transmitted a distance of eighty miles to Los An geles with, a loss not exceeding 10 per cent." If this is true Omaha can have 10,000 horse power at reasonable figures. Upon the phase of its practicability we submit the following facts: First The Nebraska 'Central irriga tion company of Columbus, Neb., has for four years been .building the Great Eastern canal, uow over sixty miles in length the largest irrigation enterprise in Nebraska. The topography of the country covered by this canal is such that the water can be carried to an ele vation from which it may be dropped seventy-two feet and then used for irri gation purposes on the valley lands be low. Prominent engineers of both state and national reputation have passed up on the power proposition and their esti mates show that 7,000 horse power can be developed at Columbus and over 4, 000 at Schuyler. Second The water for this canal is taken from the Loup river, the most re liable water supply in Nebraska, carry ing a uniform flow the year around, not less than 2,000 cubic feet per second in low water. Third The canal company is in a po sition to command the finances neces sary to construct the plant. Fourth Omaha is seventy-five miles east of Columbus. Therefore, if power can be transmitted at a loss of only 10 or 20 per cent it would seem a practical proposition for Omaha. It was intended at one time to spend $1,500,000 to develop 16,000 horse power for Omaha by building the Platte river canal. This proposition today is im practicable, as all the waters of the Loup and Platte rivers are appropriated. It is safe to say that 10,000 horse power can be delivered at Omaha by electrical transmission from ajpoint Beventy-five miles distant for one-half that sum. With the millions spent at Niagara Falls and in Utah and California for the de velopment of water power it would seem as if Nebraskans ought to be willing to spend a few hundred thousands for the advancement of Nebraska's interests. Teacher?' Association. The North Nebraska Teachers' asso ciation, which is to be held at Norfolk, April 5 to 7, promises to be one of unusual interest to the teachers of this part of the state. The attendance wiii be large because the Northeast Nebraska association has joined forces with that of North Nebraska. At tho same place will occur April 5, the contest in Declamation which has always been largely attended, and as an additional attraction on the evening of April 7, there will occur a contest in debate by representatives of six high schools. The program of the association proper is prepared with great care. Only such subjects have been chosen for discussion as are of practical interest and we are assured that those who have been assign ed subjects will make thorough prepara tion on them. The general sessions of the association will occur in the afternoons of the 5th, 6th and 7th. The rural and graded school sections will occupy the forenoons and will discuss subjects of interest in relation to their special departments of work. School boards are hereby asked to so arrange the spring vacations in their schools as to allow all their teachers to attend. Arrangements will be made to secure lecturer for Thursday evening, April 6, who will be fully up to the standard. A rate of one and one-third fare has been granted by all railroads in north Nebraska, on the certificate plan. The following hotel rates have been secured to members of the association, with the understanding that two occupy the same room: Oxnard hotel, $1.50; Pacific hotel, $1.50. Other hotels will make still lower rates, and the homes of Nor folk will be open to those who desire entertainment at private residences. For additional information, see the program, which will soon be issued, or write to any one of the following mem bers of the executive committee: Wm. J. Williams, Columbus, president; R. H. Wade, Neligb, vice president; Miss Lncy Williams, Norfolk, secretary; F. S. Pur due, Madison, treasurer; 0. W. Crnm, Madison, R. R. secretary. District 44 ami Vicinity. Miss Freda Pilling of Columbus is spending a week out here at her aunt'B, Mrs. Bernhard Muehler. Wo have just examined the buds on some peach trees that are 18 years old, and find that the fruit buds for this year's bearing are. destroyed. It takes Fred. Stenger to get out a crowd at a sale. We heard one man remark thai there were so many people here that it looked like a mob. George Drinnin is rejoiced in the pos session of a new Japanese coat, which is a wonderful piece of mechanism. The lining is yellow silk, and the outside cloth is black silk, with views and flow ers worked in by hand. The garment is filled with some light material, probably cotton, and quilted by hand; we are told that George Eohler brought the coat to the United States when he returned from Manila, P. I., a few weeks ago. The garment was taken to Kramer's store and disposed of by lottery, George buy ing the lucky number. On the 24th ult. we attended a public sale of stock, etc., in Colfax county. The crier was a young Bohemian from Schuy ler. Ex-Senator Vanhousen was employ ed as auctioneer, he was on the ground, but was suffering from a turn of the grip, and in fact was taking doctors' pre scriptions during the day so the crying fell upon the young Bohemian, who accompanied him. He labored hard, using his native language most of the time, but made pretty good use of the English, German and Polish languages. Following are the average prices of cattle: 22 cows, S2&35; 11 steers, one year old, $25.13; 7 heifers, one year old, $13.15; 9 sucking calves, $7. Those who managed the culinary department, gave substan tial evidence that they knew their busi ness, and were masters of the situation, for about midday, there was distributed to every person, (and there was a multi tude) bam sandwiches and hot coffee, until every one had his fill, and several baskets full were returned.
