Paul Vandebvoobt of Omaha will start to Cuba December 23 with the first real colony of Americans, about 500 men, to locate on tracts ranging from five to forty acres in the vicinity of Nyevetas, which is said to be very productive. Miss Eliza Works, the oldest resident of Monroe county, N. Y., died Tuesday of last week, aged 105 years, 10 months and 13 days. She was born in West moreland, N. H., January 8, 1794, and the youngest of seven children. A carload of brown sheeting was recently billed from Kearney to Hong Kong, and an order has just been receiv ed from Shanghai, China, for one quarter of a million yards. The Kearney cotton mills have been running since the fall of 1896, and employ 225 operatives. AnoBNEr General Smyth has com menced action in the supreme court to prevent the Standard Oil company from doing business in the state of Nebraska, the ground being that they carry on business as a trust, a conspiracy against trade, in violation of Nebraska laws. An official report received by the Ger man government acknowledges of 'the excellent system of the American official trichana inspection as carried out in Chicago and elsewhere and declares that the agrarian charges as to the unrelia bility of the inspection are not borne out by the facts. The state of Wisconsin has made agriculture one of the prescribed studies in its Normal schools, and it will not be many years before ability to teach the rudiments and terminology of agricul ture will be required as one of the con ditions for obtaining a teacher's certifi cate. Hoard's Dairyman. There is considerable talk with some of our exchanges in regard to clean col lege sport. One of the very first essen tials toward this end is the utter aboli tion of hazing, and any senseless and brutal practices that may be in vogue. So long as these continue it is hardly worth while to speak of clean sport. There seems to be a great scramble for Dave Campbell's place as supreme coart clerk by members of both parties. We believe the office should come to Saline county, as it has received no favors thus far from the powers that be. Crete Democrat. Nor has any other demo cratic county. Fremont Herald (Dem.) Another of those brutal, senseless outrages called hazing has resulted in the death of a lad named Peter Y. Ber gen, aged 12 years. He was a freshman at Lawrenceville, New Jersey, and one of the hazers accidentally fell on him. Support of all kinds should be with drawn from every school where this bar baric custom is tolerated. A. G. Keih, formerly a deputy United States marshal in Nebraska, has been indicted for collecting "hush" money from certain druggists in Gage county, whom he had accused of selling liquor without a government license. Inspec tor Finch's investigations, it is said, resulted in the dismissal of other depu ties, but no indictments have as yet been returned against them. In the Review of Reviews for Decem ber Dr. Albert Shaw writes on "The School City A Method of Pupil Self Government." This is a system now in operation in many public schools throughout the country by which train ing is given in the practical duties of citizenship. Dr. Shaw sets forth the working principles on which the system is based and gives many interesting facts ef actual experience in the schools which have developed these principles in practice. The article is illustrated. "Is trying to understand child-life, sake two mental pictures," advises Bar betta Brown in the December Ladies' Home Journal. "In one, draw in the child as a block of marble, with mother, grandmother, teacher working away doggedly, relentlessly; chiseling, ham wring, pounding it into what they are pleased to consider its proper shape. In the other, draw the child as a plant, with roots firmly set in the soil of circum stance, with peculiar tendencies of its own toward growth, naturally, gladly outward and upward to what it to be its blossoming. Then tall aae which picture appeals to you as lore early approaching truth. I have faith eaoagh in human understanding to believe that none will choose the first, bat all the last, to hang in-their gallery of irtriak How much simpler the beau tiful growing process than the harsh cUseliag process! All that we who love the child have to do is carefully to keep a ed condition its environment; to see that it gets its Beaded awoabine; to 'stady aaoat carefally its natural growth aatf Boarish that, and perhaps gently and leriagly to prase it now and thea." xxxxxxsoooooooexsex; Cavite, Nov. 26, 1899.

Setcgiaize First Xtgmemt. The Fighting First Nebraska regiment is to be reorganized as the First regi ment of the Nebraska national guard, the place it held before going into the United States service after the Spanish American war broke out. The regiment made a celebrated name under Colonel Stotsenburg in the Philippines and now that the members have returned home and got settled again they will be given an opportunity of serving the state. Adjutant General Barry issued the first order looking toward reorganization yes terday. He authorized Captain Charles A. Tickers, who was mustered into the service as captain of company F, Madi son, to recruit the old company, Captain Charles W. Jens of Columbus returned home in command of company F, and Fred Gegner who was mustered into the service as first lieutenant of company F, returned home as captain of company !. It is the intention of the state military department to secure a first-class equip ment for the regiment and to reorganize all the companies as rapidly as possible. The last legislature appropriated enough money to support two regiments. General Barry announces in his order that in accepting resruits for company F, preference will be given first to the members of the company honorably dis charged from the United States service; second, honorably discharged soldiers of other organizations will be accepted without further examination; third, hon orably discharged soldiers of the Nebras ka national guard, and others, who will sign certificate as to physical qualifica tions. Lincoln Journal. The famous Warwick farm of 515 acres, in Warwick township, Chester county, Pennsylvania, has been sold for $12,000. On this property the old War wick furnace, probably the first to make iron in the United States, was put into blast about the year 1730, and here many of the cannon used by the patriot army in the revolution were cast In the meadows pieces of ordnance lie buried, having been thus secreted to prevent them from falling into the hands of the British after the battle of Brandywine, in 1777, when General Washington and his army were retreating northward through Chester county, leaving the furnace exposed to the mercy of the enemy. Notice has been served by the de feated justice of the peace in a Saline county precinct, that he will contest the election of his successful rival on the grounds of the latter having treated dur ing the campaign. The law is new and all are interested in knowing how good it is and it might just as well be settled over the office of a justice of the peace as any other office. The result will be watched with interest. Seward Re porter. Attorney General Grioos has in structed District Attorney Summers to look into the matter of the report on field deputies filed against them by In spector Finch and to report upon the same if found true at a later date. Gen eral Griggs says he would be compelled to install office deputies in the Omaha office and do away with field deputies. niirwfliHHHiiiiiHumiwmniumiaw Sotttional tttal. S 5HH IMHlllMilHHIUHHHniJH!WHII! School Motsf . Several members of the school board visited our schools last Friday. The program of the Ninth grade, which was to be rendered next Friday will be postponed until the following Friday. Charles Bloedorn went to his home at Platte Center Friday evening, and visited with his parents until Monday morning. Nothing pleases the schools more than the thought that the school board cooperates with them in securing holi days. Prof. Hilsabeck, formerly principal of the Platte Center High school, visited the High school Monday, and listened to several recitations of the grades. The Tenth grade are endeavoring to have Mr. Wentworth appear before the Columbus people on December 15. The proceeds of this lecture will be used in buying indispensable articles for the physics room. The Gnstava Quartet, accompanied by Miss Elisner, the reader and impersona tor, will appear at the opera house Sat urday evening, Dec. 2. Every person who wiehes to see the best entertainments that visit Columbus, should secure a season ticket. Tickets are for sale by the members of Junior and Senior grades and Pollock's drug store. If the main team of Columbus had gone to Fremont, it would have been an easy victory for them; but as it was some of their best players stayed at home, their substitutes being weaker players. The best of their substitutes were Stock and Chase, one of the Fremont High school and the other a Normal substi tute, who played center rush and left end. The Normal team may play our team at Columbus before the season closes. In response to action by the Omaha city authorities the Standard Oil com pany has agreed to reconstruct its five gallon cans. Inspection disclosed a shortage of four ounces to each five gallons, which carried oat generally throughout the United States, has brought in a nice little profit to Bro. Bockafeller. It will not be necessary to construct new cans, as the bottoms which are set into the base a distance of over an inch, can be lowered suffi ciently to meet the standard. There are tricks in all trades but ours. It is hoped the reform will not seriously cripple the good Brother who is reach ing out, in one way and another, to con trol the earth. It will next be necessary to look into the strawberry boxes, where the bottoms are about an inch from the top. Fremont Herald. ixsoesooe; District 44. and Yiriiity. Only a few fields of corn not yet finished. Helped eat a watermelon Sunday at Home Farm; and it was pretty good, but not so fine as when fresh. The melon was kept since early in September in a bin, and covered with shelled corn. Last week was a disagreeable one to corn buskers; one hilf inch of rainfall Monday morning and then foggy, cloudy and wet all the week until Saturday, when the sun shone again, but it makes fall grain, wheat and rye. look green. We are glad to learn that George Car ter, who has farmed the Adamy place near the Reed school bouse the past year, has been retained for another year. George is a hard working man and hon est, and makes such a neighbor as one cannot do without. Saturday we met a farmer coming out qf Columbus with a brand new reaper and binder loaded on his wagon, and on being asked what-be was going to make of the machine, said. "Cut winter wheat," Don't know whether he is a subscriber to The Journal or not. Last Friday morning, Henry Bach man, who has worked the past summer for his brother Jacob on the Rhode farm, started in a new covered wagon, over land, for Oklahoma, where he has a farm of 80 acres, and where he expects to make his future home. Wm. Moore started with Henry for the same place, and expects to invest in land before returning. Learning that Frank Dischner had decided to attend the Fremont Normal school this winter, the young folks of this neighborhood planned and executed a surprise for him at his brother Tom's residence last Friday evening. Frank had been husking corn all day and was just getting ready for retiring when the crowd came in. As soon as the object of the visitors was made known, Frank was not long in changing his plans for the evening and joined them in their merry making. Games and plays wero played, and oysters and crackers were ate, until about 1 o'clock a. m. We understand that Frank starts to school next Monday a good idea. The recent election at the Town hall was so quiet and orderly as to reflect credit on the voters of Columbus town ship; so quiet was it being conducted that a person might think religious ser vices were being held inside, but about midday, the board's attention was called to the barking of a dog under the floor of the hall, after a time the barking of the dog became more furious, then all was quiet for a moment, when whew! one person remarked, that the room was blue, another said he could keep it up with two laths. There was some little commotion inside for a time, until the acting officer got the dog out from under the house, and then stopped the breach in the wall, leaving the fighting vermin in possession of the inside, and the dog on the outside, after which there was no more annoyance from that source. Second Bomber of the High School Lecture Coarse. The Gustave Male Quartet has been secured for the fifth entertainment on the High school lecture course, and will be here, on Saturday evening, Dec 2. This number has been secured to fill the date for November, given to Col. Copeland, who on account of other en gagements, had to have his date post poned until March. Rather than loose Col. Copeland, who is considered "king of the platform" it was decided to change the date. The Quartet comes highly recom mended and it was only on account of an off night that we secured them. Ac companying them, is Miss Elisner, a graduate of Chicago school of oratory, who will render several selections. All holders of season tickets are entitled to this lecture without extra charge. Season tickets for the remaining four, all high-class entertainments, may be secured for 75c of the secretary. Mabjorie Williams. The ler. Ira 1. Hicks Alaaiae. There is no comparison between former editions, and this splendid Almanac for 1900, now ready. Printed in beautiful colors, on much finer paper, its 196 pages are packed with invaluable information on storms, astronomy and meteorology. It is illustrated with nearly 200 finest half tones and other engravings. This superb book would sell anywhere for fifty cents, but it costs omxt 25c a copy, and every subscriber to Rev. Irs R. Hicks' now famous paper, Word and Works, at $1.00 a year; receives this ele gant Almanac a a premium. Word and Works ia a recognised leader among the best family and scientific journals, while nothing of its kind can compare with the Hicks Almanac. One dollar a year is a nominal price for auch unique and useful publications. Professor Hicks has justly, and of necessity, withdrawn his storm and weather forecasts from all free almanacs, having generously given his time and labor free for nearly twenty years. Word and Works Pub. Co., 2201 Locust St, St. Louis, Mo. 2 The David City News of the 23d, has this reference to a recent eveat We had not before heard of the incident related in regard to a Columbus boy: "A youag man, a resident of Dea Moines, was killed at the state university at Iowa' City while practicing at foot ball Saturday morning. When some one of the boys here are taken home to their parents oa a stretcher they will know more about the game. One of the Co Iambus boys had the breath knocked out of him so badly Saturday, that he was hurriedly brought to town to be eared for by a physician. Had that boy been killed, somebody weald be respon sible for bis death. 'Accident,' may be good arguaseat, with sobm people, but it would act go with as for a mutate.

St M. and Chicago, Rock Island k Pacific depots, respectively, add quit the town. This action was the cul mination of a controversy between the express companies and the city council. Until a little over a year ago the express companies had been paying but $10 a year occupation tax, but at that time a readjustment of the levies had .been made whereby $20 a .year was asked. The express people immediately stopped free delivery. The council tried to per suade them to replace the deliveries. Failing in this, an occupation tax of $50 was imposed and the companies quit the city." Woatans Clib.

The gang which is laying the new steel rails on the Union Pacific track moved here the latter part of last week and Saturday all, about sixty of them, were paid off. It was expected that the police would have a hard time keeping peace as some of the men caused consid erable trouble at Rogers, getting drunk and fighting. A few did so here but they were promptly taken care of by the police and with the exception of two or three arrests have behaved themselves well. Schuyler Sun. CASTOR I A for Infants and Children.

It is a remarkable and Instructive fact that the career of four of the most renowned characters that ever lived closed with a violent or mournful death. Alexander, after looking down from the dizzy heights of his ambition upon a conquered world and weeping that there were no more to conquer, died of intoxication In a scene of debauch, or, as some suppose, by poison mingled In his wine. Hannibal, whose name carried ter ror to the heart of Rome Itself, after having crossed the Alps and put to flight the armies of the mistress of the world, was driven from his coun try and died at last of poison adminis tered by his own hands in a foreign land, unlamented and unwept Caesar, the conqueror of 800 cities, and his temples bound with chaplets dipped in the blood of a million of bis foes, was miserably assassinated by those he considered his nearest friends. Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and emperors obeyed, after filling the earth with the terror of his name, closed bis days in lonely banishment upon a bar ren rock in the midst of the Atlantic ocean. Such the four men who may be con sidered representatives of all whom the world calls great, and such their end intoxication, or poison, suicide, murdered by friends, lonely exile! jsjeer Slsfcla AferaMiA. When I was In Alx-les-Bains last summer, I saw a stout German woman sitting at another table eating from an enormous pile of plates, I thought at first she was carving or doing' some thing of that kind, but as the meal progressed and the pile became no less I made Inquiry and found ont that she was extremely nearsighted, and the pile of plates exactly 19 In number was necessary to raise her food to a point where it would come within her range of vision. She was no less a personage than the Duchess of Sles- wick-Holsteln. In Italy they do not use glass in the windows on account of the expense and replace it with wood or other ma terial In order to relieve the monot ony, I suppose, they have a habit of painting household scenes on these blank spaces. In one window yon will aee'an old chap reading bis paper and la another a young miss doing up her hair. There are also other scenes of even more intimate family character, which I will leave to your Imagination.

' But there was a woman in the street t cars the other -day who apparently had a brand new set of tooth and she was strangely proud of them. 8he first at tracted the attention of passengers by the smiles that she lavished upon them Indiscriminately. Every smile brought the new teeth Into view more prom inently and the evidence that they were false and the people began to smile quietly themselves. But even then the woman was not sure that her new treasures were properly observed, and. drawing In her lower lip. she brought her upper teeth down upon it and tapped them carelessly with ber finger, looking off Into vacancy mean while with a conscious air of uncon sciousness.

He was a tall, fair young man, with somewhat scanty hair of a dark au burn shade, and a jolly, good humored face and wholesome laugh that would attract any girl. She was a pretty lit tle dark thing, with a sort of clinging manner, eminently prepossessing. She was dressed in some soft stuff of dark blue with white dots all over it, and they appeared to 1k saying goodby. So completely absorbed were tliey In each other that they were entirely ob livious to the fact that they were being watched. Indeed not one of the thou sands of sightseers who passed them failed to turn a'ud smile. They made a striking picture. He was just on the point, for the twentieth time, of releasing her hand when another thought struck him, and he raised his hat, exposing his some what thinly covered head, and bent so low over the little band that the on lookers evidently thought he was going to kiss it. Whether he would have or whether she would have let hlin will never be decided, for a small boy, who had been intently watching the whole performance, exclaimed amid the laughter of the crowd: "Ah, why don't you marry the girl?"

Have you ever observed at a theater or concert that the people who are most deeply Interested appear between the acts to be quite weary of the whole thing, yawning half a dosea times la succession? The reason of this Is a physiological one. When your atten? tloa Is much absorbed In anything ex citing or touching, you breathe la a very shallow manner and take Into your lungs only half enough air. Con sequently, when your attention Is re laxed, yon have to make up the de ficiency. This you do by yawning, which, after all, is only breathing a very deep breath. If you watch a man at a play and observe that he Is greatly moved by some Incident, you may feel sure that when the scene ends he will slgb. and a moment or two later yawn repeated ly. Of course the yawning, so far from being a sign of weariness. Is a proof of the liveliest appreciation. A Ballet la His Bratlau A hospital physician pointed out an orderly to a gentleman who was visit ing the Institution recently aud said: "That man has for five years carried around a bullet In Ids brain. Five years ago he became despondent be cause of poverty, put a 32 caliber pis tol behind bis left ear, pulled the trig ger and fell apparently dead. The ball made a small, round bole and re mained lodged somewhere In his head. A few hours after he was brought here he regained consciousness, and. great ly to our surprise, he made a rapid re covery. The wound was never proted, and no effort has been made to locate the bullet. After he was able to walk about we noticed that he was a trifle Irrational not mad you know but weakmlnded.
