If there is any chance for a Nebraska
man to be speaker of the house of rep

make an official satisfactory, we think,

jectionable to any part of the country.

Fertile ebraak.
Nebraska can show more farms which
have paid for themselves by a single
crop than any other state in the union.
There are hundreds of farms now in
possession of contented and well to do
families in Nebraska which were pur
chased upon the distinct agreement and
.understanding that they were to be
paid for out of their own products in
five years. And there are hundreds of
farms also that, besides paying for
themselves in five years, fed, clothed and
schooled large families during the same
, period.
Nebraska farms are unsurpassed in
fertility and fecundity. The Conser

'A TBXKORAX from Washington under

believe thatr President McKinley has
been advised that Admiral Dewey con
templates coming home'within a short
time. His return will, of course, be de
pendent upon the success of the com
mission's present negotiations with the
Filipinos. As soon as they have laid
down their arms it is expected that he
will proceed with the protected cruiser
Olympia to the United States, probably
through the Sues canal to New York,
and come immediately to Washington to
consult with the president regarding the
Philippines.

Wkat the South jTeeds ?
We are pleased to notice that the
south is inclined to give some attention,
after all, to what the rest of the country
is thinking about their method of con
ducting criminal trials of a certain sort.
The New. Orleans Picayune insists
that what the south needs more than
anything else is to be truly known to
the rest of the world.- We agree with
the.St. Joseph News, however, in think
ing that people even this far north are
of the opinion that the Southern States
need something more than that. The
trouble is the people in the North know
too well the condition of things socially
and politically in the South, and no
amonnt of evidence as to the fertility of
the land and the natural advantages of
the southern country will tempt the
people to move into those states so long
as savagery and barbarism exist, as is
evidenced by the mobs that burn people
at the stake.
Moreover, so long as the people in the
Southern States keep up the narrow,
sectional prejudices which lead them to
speak of all Americans north of the
Ohio Biver as "Yankees," in contemptu
ous terms, they need not expect much
immigration from that side of the river.
Intolerance, provincialism, and the pres
ence of so large an element of unedu
cated and savage people, both black and
white, is what is retarding the progress
of the Southern States. All the Pica
yune says of the advantages in climate
and soil and other things of that nature
may be true, and probably is, but the
southern people may as well know that
people from the North and West do not
think a community like theirs a desira
ble place of residence. The South owes
it to herself to inaugurate a very thor
ough reform, and for her own interest,
if not for anything else, she should do so.
Words fitly spoken, and which cannot
too soon be put into practice for the
good of all that country.
American City Government.
In the great towns of the United
States there has been of late much to
study and to observe. The path of mu
nicipal progress in America is not with
out its impediments and difficulties; but
progress, nevertheless, is real and strik
ing, as of course it must be if the nation
is to keep its place in the van. Our
cities aro bo large and have become so
important relatively to the States in
which they are situated that to abandon
them to bad government and evil social
conditions would be to poison the whole
life, public and private, of our common
wealths and our republic. Henceforth,
therefore, it will not do to say that we
in America are successful in tasks of
government and social organization ex
cept for failure to manage our cities
well. The time has arrived when an
exception of such magnitude would
overthrow the general rule. Henceforth
the government of our cities must be
looked upon as a typical and represent
ative matter; and if our democracies
fail in the proper ordering of municipal
life, they will not be adjudged success
ful in anything else. From "The Pro
gress of the World," in the American
Monthly Review of Reviews for May.
CONCERNING THtTsoLPIEBS.

May 5 Gen. MacArthur's division ad
vanced to San Fernando and found
that the place has been evacuated by
the rebels, who left only a small detach
ment to cover their retreat by train.
McArthur occupied the burning town
without loss. Gen. Luna was wounded
in the fighting near San Tomas, May 4.
Among the wounded is Gen. Funston,
slight in hand.
Private C. . Kent of the Twentieth
Kansas, in a letter to his mother, says:
''I don't care how quick this trouble
ends for I am like lots of the other boys
I want to look for gold. The other
day one of the Montana boys found gold
in a creek bottom. The fellow took
other boys, used a gold pan and made
$7 in one day. The mountains are said
to be full of gold, but the Spaniards
never dared to go up in the mountains
for fear of their lives."
The Nebraska regiment is asking for
a temporary relief from duty. Only 375
men of this regiment are left at the
front. The secretary and assistant sec
retary of war were in conference with
the president Monday afternoon before
his departure for the south and upon his
attention being invited to the above
cablegram he spoke in the most eulo
gistic terms of the bravery and gallantry
of the First Nebraska which has par
ticipated in almost every battle fought
in the island of Luzon during the mili
tary operation in the Philippines. As
sistant Secretary Meiklejohn expressed
the hope to the president that he might
see his way clear to grant the request of
the Nebraska boys, upon which the
president directed the secretary to have
the request immediately complied with,
if not already acted upon by General
Otis.
Seattle, May 5. A member of the
regiment writing from the field says the
Washington volunteers in the Philip
pines, notably those of Companies D, L
and K, dug up large sums of money in
two towns taken by the Americans.
"Pasig Pateros," he continues, "were
evidently rich and prosperous towns,
ham $ouaa uui vum k
given on stock to feed,
they were compelled to a
for now that they are burned the sol
diers, by prospecting around the ruins,
have found a great deal of buried money.
The largest sum found in one place was
H200. One man found $3,000, another
$3,000, one $1,200, one $800 and several
sums of $400 and $500 were unearthed.
One corporal has made three finds of
$500, $700 and $800 respectively. Some
of the money is English and Spanish
gold, though most is in Mexican silver
dollars."
Bacolar, about five miles southwest of
San Fernando, is the next task for the
Americans. Tho troops have never met
American soldiers. The place is well
intrenched, and the natives are working
like beavers. The entrance of the Amer
icans into San Fernando was virtually
unopposed. The rebels disappeared as
soon as the Americans reached the
shore. In the meantime the hospital
squad had got across the bridge into the
city, supposing the Americans were
there. They encountered no natives.
The few Spaniards and Filipinos who
were left welcomed the Americans and
opened their houses to them. General
MacArthur accepted entertainment at
the hands of Senor Hizon, a sugar mag
nate. If the inhabitants of the San Fernan
do region are to be believed, there is
little sympathy with the insurrection in
that quarter. They drove many rich
Filipinos, with their families, out of the
city before them, as well as hundreds of
Chinese, to prevent them helping the
Americans. They cut the throats of
some. Many Chinese hid on roof tops
or in cellars and some escaped by cut
ting off their queues. There are fifty
fresh graves in the church yard.
The country beyond Calumpit is fall
of all sorts of ingenious trenches and
pitfalls in the roads, constructed with
sharpened bamboo. Fortunately the
Americans escaped without injury.
In the swamps near San Thomas,
where General Wheaton's troops did
their hardest fighting the men sinking
to their waists in mud are many bodies
of Filipinos, smelling horribly.
The army is really enjoying life at San
Fernando, which is the most picturesque
and wealthy town the Americans have
entered since the occupation of Manila.
It is largely built of stone, the river is
close at hand and high hills almost sur
round it. Many sugar factories indi
cate a thriving industry in that respect
and there are numerous fine residences.
General MacArthur's permanent head
quarters are established in the best
house in town.
The troops are encamped around in
the suburbs and are beginning to think
they msy be quartered there during the
wet season.
After Bacolor has been cleared, water
communication with Manila may be es
tablished. Along the roads to Calum
pit the fuel wagons and bull teams drag
ging provisions have to be forced, one
by one, across two rivers, but the Fili
pinos have several launches in the river
Delta.
The American troops are much ex
hausted by the campaign, except the
Iowa troops, which are comparatively
fresh. The regiments of the division
average less than fifty men to a com
pany and all have a weather-worn ap
pearance. TOllMHsWIiMmilWIMilllllftlft

There is no disguising the fact that
there is considerable discouragement
among farmers as to the present poor;
prospects for alfalfa. We beg leave to
suggest a little further patience with
the plant if you can once get a good
start, it will be well worth all the care
and expense you can give it. All agree
that it is hard to get a good start. It
may be that just this one time will be
enough.
Andrew Iverson of Creaton waa in
the city Thursday, calling at Journal
headquarters on business. Twenty-seven
years seems quite a while to be a sub
scriber for a newspaper, but it was in
1872 that he began, and he has contin
ued ever since. The Lutheran congre
gation of his'neighborhood are building
a new church, doing a good deal of the
work themselves. If paid for, all in
money, it would probably take an out
lay of some twelve hundred dollars. It
is frame, and 12x96 feet. The services
will be in English, so we learn. The
building is on Mr. Mat sou's place, north
west corner of section 20.

We are in receipt of a letter from a
member of Co. K, First Nebraska, going
over a small portion of their history as
a company, and especially saying some
very appreciative things of Capt. Kilian,
who took so much trouble drilling the
company while yet in the United States,
and whose work of that sort has had
such good results upon what the com
pany and the regiment have been able
to accomplish in the field. From the
tone of this letter, it is very evident
that all the company and the regiment
do now, if they have not before, appreci
ated the value of an officer who does his
full duty in keeping the men busy and
active with the various duties of the
service, and properly trained for such
emergencies as may readily arise at any
time.
I. E. Gates gives a graphic account
of the work of the wind in and about
Richland during the big blow of May 2.
The large hay barn of Gates Bros., 80x40
feet was blown all to pieces. Charlie
Easton had driven in for protection
against the storm, and can't tell for the
life of him how he escaped getting hurt
at least. A 2x4 went down through the
roof of the depot, and a 4x4 was shot
through the side of the depot. Rush
Bros.' steel mill was turned inside out,
and telegraph poles broke down. At
Steibel's there was a box with a sow and
little pigs in it not regarded as a strong
shelter either, and although it was
turned upside down, the little pigs were
all safe.
Mrs. Grace Hall, writing to the
Harlan (Iowa) Republican from Manila,
tells of the difficulties encountered by
the Americans before the insurgents
finally made their attack: "Mr. Kil
bournesaid it was most annoying and ir
ritating for a long while. The Filipino
officers and soldiers insulted our men on
all occasions, jostled them and called
them cowards and pointed their guns at
them, while our men dare not shoot on
pain of death. They say it was hard to
bear, and almost more than a soldier
could bear. At one time Colonel Stot
senberg was so incensed at some Fili
pinos who tried to cross his lines that
he said "Well I'm forbidden to shoot
you, but I'll show you some fighting,'
so he took off his coat and knocked
down the officer of the party and kicked
him ont of camp. They say the colonel's
men like him very much. There was
so much said against him in the papers,
but it has all disappeared, and his men
adore him for his perfect discipline."
The district Y. P. S. C. E. conven
tion held in this city Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, was said by the visitors to
be the best ever held in the district.
The program with very few exceptions
was carried out. There were some
thirty delegates present from surround
ing towns. The principal speakers on
the program were Dr. Hood of Beatrice,
state president of the society, who gave
an excellent address Friday evening;
Miss Hughes of West Unity, Ohio, who
was the principal speaker Saturday af
ternoon and evening; and Prof. Hill of
the State University, Lincoln, spoke
Sunday evening. Prof. Campbell gave
a talk Saturday evening. The devo
tional meetings and the Sunday after
noon junior rally were all good. The
program was interspersed with plenty
of music by the chorus choir and solos
by mesdames Geer, Garlow, Warren,
Prof. Garlichs, Miss Rickly and Miss
Galley. Friday evening, after the pro
gram, a reception was held, when dainty
refreshments of ices and cake were
served in the north room of the Con
gregational church building. Miss Bes
sie Sheldon presided over the convention
as president.

The cantata "Golden Hair and the
Three Bears" given by the school chil
dren under the direction of Prof. Gar
lichs last Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings was one of the most interesting
entertainments ever given in the city.
The rain Tuesday kept many from at
tending, yet the opera house was well
filled Prof. Garlichs was asked to repeat
the cantata Wednesday evening and cit
izens showed their appreciation by many
coming out the second time. There was
scarcely a perceptible mistake through
the whole cantata and the soloists were
so well drilled one would not think of
them as amateurs. The large mask
heads and suits of the bears added much
to make the scene more real. The
choruses of about one hundred voices
were excellent, nearly every word being
distinctly heard throughout the hall.
The school will get something over 950
for the new piano fund, as their percent
age of the proceeds.
Minard Schoemaker, who had been
at work at Gardner's restaurant and who
passed forged checks whereby he got
money and a pair of new shoes and a
suit of new clothes, got out of town last
week before he was arrested, but was
caught at Council Bluffs and brought
back and is now in jail. Monday even
ing of last week, under the name of
Edward M. Smith, he was married to
Lillie F. Bennett. Just as they were
Bitting down to their first dinner in
their new home Tuesday a deputy sheriff
appeared and placed Smith under ar
rest. Under the name of Minard Shoe
maker he has been twice sent to the
penitentiary from Council Bluffs for
forging names on checks. The last time
that Shoemaker was sent to the peni
tentiary was for forging the name of
Mother Vincent, mother superior of St.
Bernard's hospital, Council Bluffs, and
he served one year for that offense.
THE DEAD SINGER.
Dedicated to my friend, Hattie Boydaton, of
David City. Nebraska.
Never again tho her life waa the aweeteet.
Never again tho her love was the fleetest;
Never again fall her tears on onr sorrow.
Never, Oh! never, her song for the morrow.
Tho' we oft heard her, did ever we speed her?
Now she is gone. Oh! how sorely we need her!
Gladly we shield her tho' silent she listens
Sadly we garner her sheaf while it glistens.
Alone on her hills where song of her weaving
Never might tell to the world of her grieving;
Lonely at midnight, alone in the morning.
So lone in the light of the summer's adorning;
Ever alone ia the sanset's red glory.
Sad were her tears in the birth of its story;
Cold tho she stood while the world was proudest.
Sobbing ia spirit her song was the loudest.
Glad of the fortane uplifting a neighbor.
Glad of a true song ennobling his labor;
Buoyant 'mid storm and the mist of its splendor.
Glad of the low song the rfrairies might lend her;
Rejoicing the soal that rose in its sadness
Singing the strain of a heart in its gladness;
Welcome the wild dirge in walnnt and willow.
How welcome the last dream that came to her
piUow!

Battle at Home.
People generally are not appreciative
of the fact that the policeman exercises
the functions of the soldier, protecting
the ordinary citizen from the inoursions
of those who are inclined to be lawless.
An armed conflict does not occur every
dsy, but it is liable to occur almost any
time, day or night.
Saturday last a small army of tramps
infested the eastern part of the city,
making free with the Spoerry grove,
and afterwards being found east of the
cemetery. There were six large, able
bodied men, and they were very much
inclined to be ugly.
Four officers, Sheriff Byrnes, Chief of
Police Shack and Policemen Grady and
Elston, however, with a dray wagon,
undertook to "round them up," and,
after some skirmishing, brought them
into the city baatile by the waterworks,
several of them, in the meantime, feeling
the weight of the clubs before they
would come along peaceably.
It seems strange that persons having
the form of men should be so given
over to vice, laziness and meanness that
they are incapable of the first motion to
ward right conduct of their own, but
must be beat around from pillar to post.
Through Tourist Sleeper to the Northwest
The Burlington Route has established
a twioe-a-week tourist car line from Kan
sas City to Butte, Spokane, Tacoma and
Seattle.
Can leave Kansas City, Lincoln and
Grand Island every Tuesday and Thurs
day, arriving at Seattle following Friday
and Sunday. They are upholstered in
rattan. The bed linen and furnishings
are clean and of good quality. The
heating, ventilating and toilet arrange
ments are all that can be desired and
each car ia in charge of a uniformed
Pullman porter, whose sole duty is to
attend to the wants of passengers.
Cars run through without change of
any kind and the berth rate from Lin
coln to Tacoma or Seattle is only $5.00.
To intermediate points, it is propor
tionately low.
Montana and the Puget Sound coun
try are now enjoying a period of unex
ampled prosperity. As a consequence,
travel to the Northwest ia rapidly attain
ing large proportions. This new tourist
car line hie been established with a view
of caring for the Burlington's share of it
in the best possible manner.

can be had on application to any Bur-

One of the fneet orchards that we
have seen anywhere in this section of
the country is the one on the Niel Davis
nlace. two miles southwest of town.
The trees were set five years ago. They l
have had good care and have mado a
rapid growth. In a few years they will
be yielding their owner rich returns for
I,
the labor expended upon them. There
ia nothing that pays better than a good
orchard properly cared for. Howell's
