The fire originated in the boiler room. The loss, 84,000, was partly cov ered by insurance. It is strange that there are, in this en lightened age, so many people in office who consider that they hare a right to do as they please in public matters per taining to their office. The trnth is that the law is the lifo of the office, and con formity to the law is the only proper thing of citizen or officer. A beak end collision of two freight trains ocenred at Crete Friday morning, in which Engineer M. J. Graybill and Fireman G. A. Gramley, both of Lincoln, were seriously injured. Two engines were thrown from the track, a caboose and six cars badly wrecked, and the main line of the Burlington road blocked for six hours. Damage, $2,500. It is thought that the policy of the national democracy will be to spend all their spare time in harmonizing the party so as to present a solid front next year. As to the platform, Mr. Bryan has indicated that a simple affirmation of the Chicago platform, with additional planks covering issues that have arisen since President McKinley was inaugur ated, will be acceptable. Liftcola. renus Bryan. In Mr. Bryan's numerous quotations from Lincoln, in the vain endeavor to befog the true issue before the American people and the Filipinos who started the insurrection, we have never noticed that be has seen fit to use the following from Mr. Lincoln's famous speech at Independence hall, Philadelphia, while oa his way to the national capital to enter upon the duties of the presidency. Aa yon read, bear in mind the situation at Manila. In our war against Spain, Dewey had virtually conquered a peace, so far as Spain was concerned. Wise counsels prevailing, all would be well, in every sense. Now, in my view of the present aspect of affairs, there is no need of bloodshed and war. There is no necessity for it. I am not in favor of such a course, and I may say in advance, there will be no bloodshed nnleas it be forced upon the government. Tlie. government will not tue force unless foree is used against it. YalkadifiMa aad Bryam. Waea general principles are wrested from their evident meaning and made to serve as masks for the motives of de signing men, it is well enough to call attention to facta, and to the una&aila- 'We logic of event. 'There had been a big insurrection in the land rthe Rebellion), and it had be come necessary to draft men into the army. Certain gentlemen, in different parts of the country had many very bitter things to say against the policy of President Lincoln (that greatest of all '.Americana, now so highly extolled in the of W. J. Bryan), and among J B iam these sympathizers of the rebellion was Clement L. Vallandigham of Ohio, whom General Burnside arrested as a traitor, and a court-martial sentenced him to close confinement during the war; but President Lincoln changed the sentence to banishment across the lines, into the confederacy. That same year, this same Vallandig ham had so great a following in the slate of Ohio that they selected him as a can didate for governor, and political friends petitioned Lincoln for his release. The president offered to remit the sentence if the committee of prominent democrats who petitioned would sign a statement that rebellion existed and that constitutional measures were taken, when the army and navy were used to suppress it, and that each of the com mittee would pledge himself lo use his personal influence and power to carry on the war. This, however, was not done, and in November, 1864, at the Ohio election, Vallandigham was de feated by more than a hundred thousand majority. There are two truisms that are always applicable: "llistory often repeats itself." "History is philosophy teaching by examples." The same principles that are applicable to the triangle drawn on a child's slate, are indispensable when studying the triangle marked by three fixed stars at world-wide distances apart. Aguinaldo's cause is not so plausible as was that headed by Jefferson Davis. Bryan is not an abler man than was Vallandigham, and doubtless a great deal more self-seeking than was Val landigham. THE MOTIVE COUNTS. Governor Poynter has gone to Cali fornia to welcome the boys of the "Fighting First" back to American soil. It is sad to think that thia is the same man who a few months ago placed his signature vetoing a vote of thanks passed by the state legislature to the soldier boys of this famous regiment for their valiant services to their country in the Philippines, but such is the fact. The governor will not be able to make those veterans believe that they had not been fighting for the glory of the old flag. It is well for humanity that the nature of things is such that general principles are readily recognized in action. Two forces are at war. You are either for one and against the other or you are not to be considered at all, except as neu tral. The governor of Nebraska, wo are sorry to say, was on Aguinaldo's side in that veto, and against our boys whom the Aguinaldo forces were trying to kill off, and we believe this stand of Poynt er's was taken at the dictation of Wm. J. Bryan, the would-be political dictator of this country. Whether it was or not, the responsibility of the veto was with Mr. Poynter. It is always the motive behind the act that determines the moral quality of the act, and so our fathers, when they defined treason in the constitution said it consisted only "in levying war against the United States, or in adhering to their enemies; giving them aid and comfort." The pol icy of make-believe will not wash with those who have been shot at by Mauser bullets in front and Poynter vetoes be hind. Would our soldiers have deserved praise if they had stood still and allowed themselves to be slaughtered without resistance? Yet that was the meaning of the veto. They went forward, and for their persistent, incessant pluck, courage and daring it is little wonder they were called "hornets." We shall all be glad to see all the boys return. It is not yet certain that any will. There is no knowing what calamity may possibly befall them at sea. In any case there is only condemnation for Gov. Poynter's veto. No apparent acts of friendly feeling can mask the motive of that deed, and there is a growing senti ment that governmental qvents should be the sincere, earnest effects of honest, capable and patriotic endeavor. Grand stand plays are at a discount. CONCERNING THESOLDIERS. Charles O. Whedon of the Lincoln committee has invited President Mc Kinley to be present at the reception to be tendered the First Nebraska Thurs day, Sept. 14. He will endeavor to be present. General Barry and Colonel Stark ar rived at San Francisco Monday. Cruiser Boston is expected at San Francisco from Manila at any hour. It is out now forty-five days, an unusually long voy age but for the fact that it put into Nagaski. It sailed from Nagaski on June 29, which would make it out twenty-five days from that port. The Boston is probably coming along on slow time to save coal. It has on board a number of discharged sailors who fought with Dewey in the battle of Manila bay. The U. S. transport Sheridan arrived Monday at Manila, having sailed from San Francisco June 25. July 16 a great waterspout was discovered directly in the course of the ship, and to avoid it, it was necessary to make a detour of several miles. The transport carried 1,248 recruits for regiments already in the Piiillippines, besides 173 others. The Nineteenth regiment, the largest in the United States, containing 1,800 men sailed Monday from San Francisco for Manila, on transport Tartar. Gen eral Joseph Wheeler and daughter were passengers. Besides the regulars, 175 recruits went on the transport. The Newport and Ohio are to sail this Wed nesday with 1,000 recruits. The United States transport Morgan City arrived Monday morning from Manila with returning troops, including those invalided home. It was at once sent to the Angel island quarantine station for examination and fumigation. Maxima, June 8. Dear Folks at Home; Your letter came to hand some time ago, bnt as we were still in the field I thought I would not write until we got back to town. We are now in Manila and mighty glad of it This morning comes the good and welcome news that we will embark for home next week. I hope we will be with you in less than six weeks. The boys are all feeling happy, but we have a good many sick in hospital. I hope this will find all well and ready to wel come us home. I am not very well now, but think I will be by the time I arrive home. Get my tools ready for me and find a job for me, as I want to go to work within a week after I get there. Your loving son and brother, Ckas. T. Mikes. A YANKEE. Varleaa Vievra la Varlaaa Place aa t What He la. "I was greatly amused," aaid a New Orlean citizen who has lately mada a visit abroad, "to notice how the tana Yankee' widem in application aa on gets farther and farther away from the habitat of the real thing. "In New York a Yankee it common ly supposed to be a native of Connecti cut, Vermont or Massachusetts and I have noticed that the name ii applied to mean skinflints rather than to the people in general. In St Louis a Yankee is understood loosely to beany one from the extreme northeast. Here in New Orleans the term includes pretty nearly everybody above Mason and Dixon's line in short, 'northerner' and ' Yan kee' are more or less synonymous. "Now comes the really absurd part of it, although quite in line with what I have just remarked. While I was in London I found myself continually re ferred to as a 'Yankee' by natives who had learned I was from New Orleans. 'I think you Yankees are very charm ing people, ' said a big wholesaler who wanted to be extra pleasant 'I know several from your state. ' I tried to ex plain at first, bnt I soon got tired of that I was sure to be greeted by a stare of amazement 'Bnt I thought all Americans were Yankees, doncher know,' wonld be the usual protest "Later on I met a very intelligent hotel keeper at Bern, in Switzerland, and in the course of conversation he re marked that he had an extremely agree able countryman of mine staying at his house the previous season. 'As yon are both Yankees,' he said, 'yon may by chance know him.' 'Where does he live?' I asked. 'In Buenos Ayres,' re plied the hotel keeper." New Orleans Times-Democrat INDIAN SIGNAL SERVICE. They Have Loaa Teleaaeaea' by the Cae of Drama. Travelers in uncivilized countries havd often wondered how some savage tribes were ablo to transmit news for hundreds of miles with no apparent facilities for doing so. An interesting light is thown on this subject by Jose Bach, who tells of the means by which the Indians on the Amazon communi cate with each other at a distance. The natives live in groups of 100 to 200 persons in settlements half a mile or a mile apart In each dwelling there is a wooden drnm, which is buried for half its height in sand mixed with frag ments of wood, boue and mica, and has a triple diaphragm of leather, wood and rubber. When this drnm is struck with a wooden mallet, the sound travels far and is distinctly heard in the other drums in the neighboring dwellings. It is beyond doubt that the transmis sion of the souud takes place through the earth, since the blows struck are scarcely audible outside of the houses in which the instruments are placed. After a "malocca," or dwelling, has been "called up" by an initial blow conversation is carried on between the two drums. Mr. Bach's explanation is that the communication is facilitated by the nature of the ground, the drums doubtless resting upon one and the same stratum of rock, since transmission through ordinary alluvial earth could not be depended upon. This method furnishes an ingenious modification of the process employed by Indians for perceiving distant noises, such as the gallop of a horse, which consists in ap plying the ear to the earth. St Louis Globe-Democrat Sare Taey Were Safe. The method adopted by a rustic look ing individual to prevent the loss of hi hat and coat while dining furnished tho patrons of a Market street cafe with much amusement yesterday. The stran ger meandered leisurely into the place during the busy lunch hour and made his way to the nearest vacant chair Producing several yards of twine from his pocket, he removed his hat aud passed the string once around tho crown, making it fast with a double knot This, of course, caused a number of diners to suspend hostilities in order better to observe the next move, but the careful stranger appeared oblivious to the seusation he was creating. Taking off his coat, he passed the loose end of the string through one sleeve, and, after securing the end to his wrist, hung ba and coat on the rack. Assuring himRolf that the knots were firmly tied, the cautious individual sat down and pro ceeded to get away with a substantial meal. Philadelphia Record. No Prlaeaa Seeded, In Iceland there are no prisons, and tho inhabitants are so honest in their habits that such material defenses to property as locks, bolts and bars are not required. Yet its history for the past thousand years records no more than two thefts. Of these two cases, one was that of a native who was detected after stealing several sheep, but as be had dono so to supply his family, who were suffering for want of food, when he had broken his arm, provisions were furnished to them and work was found for him when he was able to do it and meanwhile he was placed under medical care, but the stigma attached to his crime was con sidered sufficient punishment The other theft was made by a Ger man, who stole 1? theep.

In Austria a Christian witness is sworn before a crucifix between two j lighted candles, and, holdiug up his ' right hand, 'says, "I swear by God, the Almighty oud All Wise, that I will speak the pure and full truth, and noth ing but the truth, in answer to anything I may be asked by the court" Jowish witnesses, while using the same words, add to their solemnity by placing tbeir hands on the page of a Bible on which is printed the third commandment. A Belgian wituess swears to be vera cions in these words, "I will speak the truth, the whole truth, aud nothing but the truth; so help me God aud all the saints." The Spanish oath is more elaborate. The witness, kneeling ou his right knee, placed his band on the sacred book, and, being asked by the judge, "Will you swear to God and by those holy gospels to speak the truth to all you may be asked?" answers, "Yes, I swear." Thereupon the judge says, "Then, if thus you do God will reward you, and if not will require of you." In 6ome parts of the country the ceremouy is different The witness turuis a cross by placing the middle of his thnmb ou tho middle of his forefinger, aud, kissiug his thumb a practice which would probably be very familiar to some Eng lish witnesses exclaims, "By this cross I swear!"
