The large building of the Waterloo
Creamery company at Papillion was
totally destroyed by fire Friday morn
ing. 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

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. Botes be was
in comfortable circumstances .and the
robbery was malicious the sentence
passed upon him was that he should at

Bed Letter Days in the Black Hills.
Hot Springs, Sylvan Lake and Spear
fish are three Black Hills summer re
sorts that are as attractive in their way
as any places of their kind in the West.
And they are as different as any three
places can be.
Hot Springs is a health resort a good
place to get rid of one's rheumatism and
to enjoy life while renewing one's youth
ful vigor.
Sylvan Lake is a pretty nook in the
Heart of the Hills, an easy-going, cool,
dreamy spot, where hot weather is un
known. ... .
Spearfish is a thrifty town of perhaps
1,500 people, not particularly notable
except in one respect the beauty of the
railroad ride to it. You should make
the trip to realize how fine it is. There
is nothing more exhilarating, even in
the Rockies.
Daring Jujv, the Barjington Route
will ran two 'cheap excursions to Hot
Springs and Custer (Sylvan Lake) one
on the 4tb, the other on the 18th. One
fare, plus $2, for the round trip. Tickets
good 30 days long enough to enable
you to visit every point of interest in
the Black Hills, as well as to receive
untold benefit from the crisp air and
healing waters of this northern sani
tarium. For tickets call at nearest Burlington
ticket office. . ,
