The report that the Cubans are pre paring for an uprising against the United States, without foundation. The Cubans know which side their bread is buttered on. St. Joseph News. Ajfoiit A Kepuulican. Senator Hay ward is reported very near to death and a successor will probably have to be appointed by the governor. If this is the case we would favor the appointment of a republican. To do otherwise would be unfair and dishon orable. The onlv Question should be how to find the man whom the republi cans would select as Mr. Hay ward's suc cessor if the matter was left to their choice. Mr. Hayward was elected in the regular way and until the people, through their representatives in the next legislature, are able to express their will, the republicans should have the place in the senate which Mr. Hay- ward would have held if he had lived. It may be that a republican governor in a case like this would appoint a man of his own party but this should make no difference. Populists should be ex pected to do right and set an example of fair and honorable politics. Cedar Rapids Outlook. A vert destructive storm struck sev eral points in Texas on Dec. 1, doing an immense amount of damage to property and loss of life. A number of small fishing craft are missing, together with their crews. The bodies of James San ders and two other men who have not been identified have been found in the mouth of St Charles bay. Several thousand head of sheep and hundreds of head of cattle were driven into the gulf by the storm and drowned. One ranch man, George A. Brundrett, lost over 3,000 head of 6heep in this manner. In Refugio and Aransas counties there was a terrible fall of hail. Chunks of ice of huge proportions, some of them being five inches in diameter fell. More than 700 head of cattle were killed by falling hail in the vicinity of the town of Lamar. The window blinds, sash and lights of every house in Lamar were riddled Holes were knocked through the roofs of many and weatherboards were splintered. The wind which accompanied the hail, uprooted large trees and blew several houses from their foundations. Large Hocks of geese and ducks were killed. In fact, every bird and small animal within the storm's path was killed. One hundred and sixty dead pelicans were seen on the bay shore. The late Vice President Hobart was a favorable specimen of a class of modern Americans who have won their way to fortune and distinction solely through their own energy in coming up from the ranks of the people. Mr. Hobart was one of the foremost millionaires in New Jersey, but he began his career in hum ble circumstances. The son of an honest country school teacher, he had no special advantage except the blood of good sturdy stock, and an education acquired in school and college chiefly through his own determination. He was not asham ed, when his great success in life came to him, to recall the days when he sold butter and eggs in a Paterson grocery store, and when he began his business and professional career with a capital of exactly $1.50. This was only n little more than thirty years ago, and offers one more proof to the bright, ambitious and struggling boys of this country that the republic has still opportunity for every honest lad of brains and courage.

A telegram from Lincoln makes the following statement: Attorney General Smyth has notified Governor Poynter that he will prosecute the Fort Crook soldiers who shot and killed a deserter who was resisting arrest. A court-martial has already acquitted the soldiers and a court of Sarpy county dismissed the complaint on the ground that the civil authorities have no jurisdiction. Tbe attorney general says that while the soldiers are subject to punishment or discharge by the military, the offense is nevertheless committed against the peace of the state, and cannot be pun ished except by the civil courts of Ne braska. The record price on range cattle for the present year, probably for the past fifteen years, was made in Denver on the 30th ult, when a bunch of twelve Here ford steers was sold for $5.72 per hun dred pounds. The steers averaged a weight of 1,552 pounds and brought the owners $89.25 each. The Chicago price would be equal to $6 per hundred. Mrs. John W. Scott of Council Bluffs has sued her husband for divorce, not being able to dissuade him from insist ing on Christian Science treatment for their little child who is said to be deli cate.

Near Areola, EL, two boys, Jerry Mc Neills and John White, under the in fluence of dime novels, turned bandits about 11 o'clock at night and held up and robbed their former employer, Wil liam Hicks, aged about 60 years, on the highway, while the old gentleman on his way home from Areola. IXXXI ;X90oooe; Hew Variety of Corn. The Dt8 Moines Register tells of a wonderful new variety of corn which an Iowa farmer has produced by repeated experiments, which will yield at the rate of 150 bushels to the acre. It is called the German corn, is very white, produces from three to seven ears on the stalk, and from 10 to 20 stalks to the hill, while in seeding but one grain of seed is required to each bill. The corn branches out from the root like winter wheat and grows from 10 to 12 feet high. The ears are about nine inches long and quite thick, the grains or kernels being very large and even. Only about seventy-five bushels of this variety has been produced this year, but this will be enough to seed a good-sized field, and perhaps in another the seed will be plenty. When this variety of corn comes into general culture it would' make corn the cheapest feed that could be obtained. A special dispatch to the Minneapolis Times from Black River Falls, Wiscon sin, under date of November 29 says: A very singular and remarkable pheno menon occurred hero just before daylight this morning. What seemed to be the tail of an enormous comet appeared low down in the southwestern sky, but there was no head to it. It looked like about half of the great comet that appeared just before the civil war. It was nearly as bright as the moon, but faded and dissolved entirely within three or four minutes. Some thought it was the train of a large meteor. rtftittottal Stat!. HimiHiiitwawiiHfiai ma School Votes. Milo Penqaite and Charles Postle en tered the Ninth grade Monday. All the boys now in the Junior grade, who took German last year, are study ing Latin. The High school foot boll team will meet the Normal team at Fremont next Saturday. Miss Alice Considine of the Ninth grade, spent Thanksgiving with her parents at Platte Center. The Junior grade is now reviewing light and heat in Physics, preparatory to taking a final examination in these sub jects next week. The Superintendent's report for the month shows the number of pupils be longing this month, 731; average daily attendance, 699; number of half days lost by teachers, 10. Charles Bloedorn, of the Senior class, visited his parents at Platte Center from Tuesday evening until Saturday, return ing in the evening in time to hear the entertainment, as he is president of the lecture course management. All of the Columbus newspapers are now fonnd on the reading table of the High school library. The different re porters appointed by the editor-in-chief, are: Eugene Clark for the Telegram; Alvina Lners for Bienne and Otto Roen for tbe Times. The Columbus people turned out in loyal support of the lecture course on Saturday night, to hear the Gustava Quartette, with gratifying results to the management. The opera house was well filled and the people seemed pleased with the different parts of the evening's program. The Columbus High school foot ball team played the Bellwood eleven Thanksgiving day, before a crowd of in terested spectators, yet the game was somewhat devoid of enthusiasm, because it was 60 one-Bided, being 44 to 0 in favor of Columbus. On Saturday our team played tbe Fremont Normal boys, but in this game the score was decided ly unlike that of the Thanksgiving game, being 23 to 6 in favor of Fremont The Ninth grade is finishing tbe sub ject of Physiology, after which they will take up either Latin or book-keeping. The present Ninth grade has a better chance to choose their respective courses, than any other preceding grade. There are two courses diagramed for the Columbus High school the University and English. The University course embraces four years of Latin, while the English course has book-keeping, Eog- lish composition, English rhetoric, astronomy and German, as substitutes for Latin. Those who intend, to grad uate usually take the stronger course, the Latin, while those who expect to remain in school for an indefinite length of time, take the English course. It has been proven that Latin is more ben eficial than any other study, as most of the English language is made up of its derivations. One of Schuyler's oldest residents died at his home in this city Saturday afternoon of congestion of the brain. When he came home on Friday evening he remarked that he was not feeling well. He asked his son, Halley, about 12 o'clock what the time was and a little later Mrs. West was attracted to the stairway by an unusual noise. She found Mr. West lying on his back near the foot of the stairs apparently par tially stricken with paralysis. He was conscious, however, for some time, but soon lost consciousness, which he did not regain before death came.

The good man Having asked tue clergyman to stay to dinner, tbe latter, after a little 'pressing, consented. The good lady hurried off to prepare for the unexpected guest, and seeing, as she thought, her husband washing, as was the custom in those days, at the family sink, she seized the family Bible, approached steaHbily from be hind and brought down the ponderous tome upon his bald pate, exclaiming: "Tak ye that for bringing hungry preachers here to dinner every time the) come to the parish." ' As soon as tbe assaulted one could get the suds out of his eyes be looked about him, and. after thinking tbe mat ter out, concluded that tbe old lady had made a slight mistake. She. too. came to the same conclusion when, on re turning to the parlor, "she beheld her husband patiently waiting for his rev erend friend! Paaetaatlea.
