Mxlouob, P. L, April 17. In a letter from Frank Turner of Co. K, Fust Nebraska, most of which, how ever, is personal, we extract a few gen eral remarks: "I tell you, I'have had ballets come so close to my head, I could smell the burning air, and. have ever received a scratch; have been in "every engagement that the regiment has been in, and do not think they have any -nigger bullets for me. That is why I am so confident I will spend the winter at boaae, but we can't always tell what is bud up in store for us. Am feeling better than I ever did in my life, taking into consideration the fact that we are out in all kinds of weather, sleeping on the ground, army rations, etc' Am keeping two good eyes open, and fight ing like a tiger when we get into it We have captured the capitol, Malolos, with little loss, but Aggie and his troops had own. Think the volunteers will now get to go home, then 111 tell you all about it Twenty-ive of our company were is .ataed Krag-Jorgensen rifles, and I was ascend on the list. They are a fine gun, and theyaay they will shoot s bullet three stfles. Now our guns are superior to the Manser's the niggers have, and we just give them HaQ Columbia, and they 4m not make any stands at all, but as 'sea as they see onr bass ntaviag, they i their git-away' vary addealy,and oatof range.

Am well and hearty and hope to be borne this summer. Well, as I have been detailed for some duty, will finish, as the mail closes today for the states." OF COURSE HE IS BIGHT. A Daniel has come to judgment, and The Jocbnaii is glad to make record of the decision that he makes. The Amer ican people have always expressed ad miration for men of General Jackson's mould, who "took the responsibility" when occasion demanded action on their part There is coming to be too much "make believe" in the holding of office be around promptly enough when the salary is to be drawn, but conveniently absent when an unwelcome duty is to be done. It ought to mean something for a man to be elected to office, and to take the care of. men into his hands, their safety and their lives. The old-fashioned stamina that -took delight in standing by a helpless man, a. prisoner, charged with a heinous crime, needs to be brought, forth from its hiding places and made to do. duty, now and again. Perhaps if those Princeton, smart Aleck boys 'had had some men of sterner mould to deal with the other day, they would make much more capable men, by 'and by, when they get more good, com mon sense than they now have. But here is the paragraph we started to speak of and it comes from Indianap olis: Judge Baker of the United States dis trict court has rendered a decision in which he holds that the relatives of Marion Tyler, who was lynched at Scottsburg several months ago, had a right of action against the county and sheriff's bondsmen. The decision was rendered on a motion to overrule a de murrer -to the complaint James F. Gobin, the sheriff, and his bondsmen were required to answer the complaint within ten days. -The case which is for $25,000 damages is expected to come to trial in about a month. In holding that a sheriff is responsible for the prisoners in his care the court said in part: "If tbe law imposes a duty of care in respect to animals and goods which he has taken into his possession by virtue of his office, why not the law impose the duty of care upon him in respect to human beings who are in his custody by virtue of his office? Is a helpless pris oner, in the custody of a sheriff, less entitled to his care than a bale of goods or a dumb beast? ""The law is not sub ject to any such reproach." CONCERNING THEIoLDIERS. The United States transport Portland arrived at San Francisco Thursday, twenty-four days from Manila. It had on board twenty discharged soldiers of various regiments. When three days out Private Jeremiah Shea of the Cali fornia heavy artillery, died of dysentery and was buried at sea off the island of Formosa. First Vebratka to Sail Sooa. Lincoln, May 17. Governor Poynter received information from the war de partment that the First Nebraska would sail from Manila some time during the latter part of the present month or early In 'June. Several days ago the war de partment was requested by telegraph to allow transportation home for M. H. Woodward of company D, now sick in the hospital at Manila. This request was not granted, as General Otis bad already been instructed by the depart ment to send home wounded and sick soldiers as soon as they are able to travel. Lawton Drivinf the Enemy. Manila, May 17. Adjutant-General, Washington: Situation as follows: Lawton, with tact and ability, has covered Bnlacan province with his colnmn and driven insurgent troops northward into San Isidro, second in surgent capital, which he captured this morning; is now driving enemy north ward into mountains. He has had con stant fighting, inflicting heavy losses and suffering few casualties; appear ance of his troops on flanks of enemy behind entrenchments thrown up at every strategic point and town, very de moralizing to insurgents and has given them no opportunity to reconcentrato scattered troops.

The present time belongs to the age of progress, as distinguished from the age in which there was but little ad vancement allowed. This is more an age of invention, however, but mankind are also allowed to think about things according to their own ideas, even if they do not get much outside of the iroqclad standards, and they are not persecuted, even if they are ostracized, or turned out from the elect, or consid ered unscientific This is also the historic age, as our history is the account of men, and our celebrities, as our Napoleons, Washing tons, while the older accounts were more the history of the celestials whose deeds were the progress and achieve ments of the people, and such ages are classed as the prehistoric and were full of myths, legends, traditions, folklore, sagas. There is a myth, and also an ancient myth, even going back into the Titan age, or Cyclopean age or age of giants. These became necessary to ex plain many of tbe varying peculiarities not otherwise seemingly of the ex plainable. As a sample, I might give the how it happened that there were mountains and volcanoes and earthquakes. It was considered in ye olden times there were there three worlds; the subterranean, the upper and terrestrial. In the upper, for instance, Phoebus drove tbe chariot of the sun. Then the giants made up their mind that they would like to be with the celestials. So, the story goes, they combined, and to reach the upper world they piled up the mountains and climbed up. This explains how tbe mountains came. They were about to win, when Jupiter arose aad. hurled upon them the thunderbolts forged by Vulcan. The giants were driven down, and a number were thrown in a low place and Urge quantities of forest, like straw were thrown upon them, and the hills were piled upon them. To hold them down, aad keep the giants quiet the thunderbolts ware haded apoa them, aad this set the forest trees oa fire,- aad the burning gave the smoke that came oat from tbe volcano, sad the giants getting tired, would once in a while tarn over, and this was the cause of the earthquake. In olden times tha. people had to accept -such explanations or get hung up by tbe hair of the head. It is not very Temarkitble, bat many of. our more modern' explanations of these same are not much better, but one need to accept them or be considered unscientific Some years ago a great ado came about on the question "That every man had the right to interpret matters according to his own' ideas about things." The 'nations that ac cepted this are the more progressive. Tbe peoples that did not in time they gave place to the ones that did. Athens encouraged investigation, and gave cred it to whomever made an improvement or advanced new explanations. Sparta were exclusive and did not.'' Not one school boy in a hundred can put his pencil upon tbe map where once was 8parta. We think we have a pro gressive nation. We have in many things. But on many subjects, not civil and political, we are less progressive than some of the monarchial countries. There are some subjects' left exclusively to those having them in charge which are held closer to the one school of thought ruling than is done in European countries. This is so much so that we look to Europe for new changes. The people accept tbe change, and changes in some things come only through Europe. E. J. Couch. atowa Uet Vxmn WHk i Car Ceadaater. Hevas intent upon his newspaper 'when the conductor came along 'and stopped in front of him. . The conductor stooped down to get a better look at his face and said, "Fare, please." The man with tbe paper paid no at tention, and finally the conductor tap ped him gently on the arm. "Did I get your fare?" asked the con ductor as the man with the paper looked up. Now, if there is anything in this world that has a tendency to make a man who has paid his fare get angry it is to have the agent of the corporation to whom such fare was paid come along and ask him if he has paid it It may be all right but it always seems as if there was an inference that some one is trying to beat the road. Thus it hap pened that the. man with the paper re plied rather sharply: " You ought to know. " "Oh, it's all right sir!" explained the conductor hastily. "No intention to offend, yon know. I merely wanted to make sure." Then he returned to the platform, while the man with the paper returned to his reading. A few minutes later the man with the paper went out on the platform himself, and just before reaching his corner he gently tapped the conductor on the arm, even as tbe conductor had tapped him. "Did yon ring up my fare?" he asked. There were immediate indications that tbe conductor was getting mad. He tried to say something., bat only spluttered. "Oh, it's all right!" tbe man with the paper hastened to explain. "No In tention to offend, you know. I only wanted to make sure." Then he swung off the car, and when he reached home his wife detected traces of a faint smile on his face. Philadel phia Times. Ballata Palat ta Palat. A correspondent relates the following remarkable personal reminiscence of an incident which occurred during the Franco-German war: "A perfect stran ger (an Englishman)," said he, "called upon me and handed to me a cbassepot rifle, which be related he had picked up on tbe field of battle after Gravelotte, which had a bullet or two stack in about tbe middle of the barrel and which he requested me to get removed. Thi6 was done,. and upon examination two bullets were found to have met point to point A German bullet must have entered tbe muzzle of the French rifle barrel just as tbe French rifle had been fired, and the two bullets had met together without bursting tbe barrel.

But we think the fol lowing is the funniest: "Mamma," a child was heard to say in an awestruck whisper, after a pro longed survey of tbe peculiar features of tbe guest "that gentleman's mamma must have loved children very, very much." "Why so, my dear?" inquired tbe un susperting parent "Oh," returned tbe child in the same audible whisper, " 'cause she brought him up. "Strand Magazine.

In connection with this event tbe annual district conference will convene -with' eighteen active ministers and a good number of pioneer ministers who occu pied the pulpit of that congregation from time to time in the early days, will be present A good program has been prepared, and that public gathering is likely to be the largest in tbe neighbor hood, whenever tbe weather is favorable. In the Fremont Tribune of the 16th, we find the following reference to a for mer citizen of Platte Center: "A. J. Mokler and family arrived Sunday from Casper, Wyo., and are guests until Wed nesday with Mrs. Mokler's parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Black, after which they go for a visit at Mr. Mokler's old home in Illinois. He is publisher of the Cas per Tribune and is prospering amazing ly.

The house will remain closed until all possible danger is con sidered past City Physician Haslam says there need be no alarm, the case ia a mild one, nothing will be left undone to prevent the spread of the disease, that it is much -less dangerous than scarlet fever, typhus or diphtheria. We believe, with the Fremont Tribune, that it is much the bettor way for newspa pers to give the exact truth in all such cases. It is lies that do mischief, every time, to individuals and communities. We find tbe following paragraph, in the Lincoln Journal, under date of May 20 at Osceola: "The friends of Hon. Stephen F. Fleharty were distressed to learn through the daily papers of his death which occurred at Waynesville, N. C, on the 10th day of May. Mr. Fleharty was one of the earlier settlers in this county, and was the editor of a republican paper, The Homesteader, now the Becord. He had been a mem ber of jthclllinois legislature, and was a 6oldier of the civil war and a member of J. F. Beynolds post G. A. B., No. 26 of Osceola. He was private secretary to Governor Nance. He had been living in tbe south for several years." The deceased was a brother of Bev. J. Q. A. Fleharty, who was formerly located here as a pastor of the Methodist church. Death of Mrs. Lathrou. Saturday night last Sarah, wife of H. S. Lathrop, died suddenly at their home two miles east of Duncan. She ate, as usual, at supper-time, seemed in her usual health, retired at about half-past 8, and at about 930 wakened her husband telling him she was suffering pain in the region of the heart He gave her medicine and in a little while she said she felt better, but at 11 o'clock she was dead. The deceased had been twice married, was in her 70th year, and leaves her hus band, and two children, Edward Love of Illinois, and Blanche Lathrop, all of whom were in attendance at the funeral, the services being held at the Episcopal church in this city conducted by Bev. Weed. A large number of neighbors and friends were here to attend the ser vices. Burial was made in the Columbus cemetery Monday afternoon. The wedding of Bev. Robert E.L. Hayes and Miss Jessie May Williams, mention of which we made last week, took place in the Presbyterian church last Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, an audience of several hundred people witnessing the ceremony. The church was beautifully decorated with festoons of green, the pulpit was fiiled with potted plants, among them some very large ferns and palms. A large bell of lilacs hung over the bride and groom as they were taking the vows. Prof. Rl Mr Campbell and Prof. W. E. Weaver", two or Kev. Hayes' most intimate friends, were ushers, and led the marriage Dartv to the altar, followed by Bev. Dr. Phelps of tbe Omaha Presbyterian seminary, and then the bridal couple. As the party were marching up the aisle, the choir composed of C. J. Garlow, Mrs. Garlow. Miss Bickly, Mrs. McAllister and G. O. Burns with Mrs. Toss as ac companist aang tbe Bridal chorus from Lohengrin, then Dr. Phelps in most impressive words performed the cere mony. As the couple were marchins out Prof. Garlichs played Mendelssohn's wedding march in a brilliant, joyful strain. After the ceremony a reception was held for the members of the church at Dr. Nauman's, where Mils Williams has made her home for several years. Many valuable presents were given the couple, enough almost to comnletelv furnish n home. Bev. Hayes sad his wife are both well known to oar readers. Bev.
