It is estimated that 500,000 new cotton spindles will be started in South Carolina next year. Wednesday morning last an earth quake shock was felt in Salt Lake City, but no special damage done. The number of bank depositors in the United States is estimated at 13,000,000, twice as many as ten years ago. A PrrrsBuita professor claims to have invented a wireless telegraphy 2,000 times more sensitive than the Marconi system. One contract for 20,000 tons of steel rails for Japan to be furnished by a Pittsburg concern is reported. A single order for car axles covers 8,500 tons. TnE house passed the currency bill Monday that had been debated the week before by a vote of 190 to 150. It had the united support of the republicans in the house, and of eleven democrats. It is said that Mexican bonds are higher than ever. Notwithstanding the fact that silver is a staple product of that country she makes her foreign debt payable, principle and interest in gold. Friday night Congressman Robinson of this district made his maiden speech on the currency question. At 10 o'clock when he closed there were just twenty three members in the hall, all on the democratic side. There seems now to be a question whether on the death of Mr. Hay ward there was such a vacancy as qualified the governor to appoint He bad been elected by the legislature, but had never qualified as senator. Business on the stock exchange at London Monday opened with a better tone. Thoughts of a prolonged war sent consols below par for the first time since 1894 They were qaotaa at 99;8. All the departments shared in the fall. English statesmen are beginning to see the extreme gravity of the situation in South Africa and are evidently be coming anxious. - Queen Victoria, if reports are true, was nearer right than any of them, in not wishing war with the Boers. The first severe snow of the season bat week was over Iowa, and portions of Kansas, Missouri and Wisconsin. In Kansas it melted about as it fell. In Minneeota'and Wisconsin, it fell twelve to fourteen inches in depth. Generally it was preceded by rain. Ex-Senatob W. V. Allen received his appointment Wednesday to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Hayward. It m generally tboaght that Benton Maret'will be appointed his private secretary. The senator will at once put himself in readinesB for service. We will export about $1,300,000,000 worth of United. States products this year, the largest on record. The free- trade argument has always been that protection kills our foreign trade. Facte disprove the theory but facts do not coast with democratic politicians. Ben ton (TIL) Republican. It is very plainly evident that Uncle Saaael oaght to look up some particu lars of bis mail-carrying business a little closer than he has been doing. There ' are people using the aoafls who are de frauding the public almost every week in the year, and that by design, and yet, tke thing continues to the direct injnry of legitimate dealers, who use the mails I . ja the coarse of regmlar basweas.

The American people are not of the kind who will for many centuries, neither for very many years, submit to an injus tice or a species of petty tyranny, that they can rid themselves of readily. They have been compelled in several very im portant matters in their history to allow 'the tares to grow with the wheat" until the time of harvest, but the saving of the grain and the destruction of the tares has been a very effectual matter when they did get around to it. The one notable example of this, known and read of the whole world, was the abolition of slavery. Another was the opposition instituted against polygamy. Another, which will doubtless in time prove as effectual, will be the handling of the trusts. Our laws are usually all right The main trouble comes in when com panies' and corporations combine against the public interest in selfish defiance of the rights of others. When the Ameri can people become thoroughly convinced of something wrong at the root, they have been sometimes a little more lenient than the real situation demands, and have allowed things to continue that they would have been justified in utterly abolishing. It looks as though the time had now fully come for the good people of this country to enforce existing laws against the trusts, and get after them so close and so hard that the evils of them will be done away with. The laws are right. Enforce them. The crowd of men who go into your fields and steal your cattle; to your pens and load up and haul away your hogs; to your chicken-coops and pilfer your fowls are just the same kind of fellows exactly who conspire againBt public interests. The decision of the U. S. supreme court last week in the Addyson Pipe case shows that the anti-trust law of 1890 reaches further than had generally been thought It is with that as with nearly every other great evil in this country if present laws were enforced the evils would soon be remedied. These is no doubt about THE POWER AND THE ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE. A shooting affair which almost re sulted in a murder, occurred on Charles Breeder's farm six miles northeast of Wisner last Saturday afternoon. Otto Wieland, who is a renter on the Dress ier farm, got into an altercation with the latter over some question pertaining to the premises, which so enraged Brassier that he discharged a revolver at Wie land, striking him in the thigh. As soon as the shot was fired. Wieland snatched the weapon and proceeded to pound Breasler's head. After a short struggle, both became unconscious, when one of the family immediately went to Wisner and telephoned for Sheriff Phillips, who went there the same evening to arrest Bressler, placing him in the county jail where he was subsequently released at 81,200 bond. His preliminary hearing will take place the 27th of December. Wieland is still in bed and seems to be in a bad condi tion, although complete recovery is prob able. West Point Democrat Certainly, the country is in a pros perous condition, if prosperity is to be measured by the fact that the farms of the country have produced well; by the fact that mechanics in shops and fac tories are busy; by the fact that the mines in the bowels of the earth are more than usually full of active life these times; by the fact that the railroad and steamship lines are having an extraordi nary run of business, all of which seems likely to be continued for the future. Thomas M. Brumby, flag lieutenant to Admiral Dewey during the Manila cam paign, died at Garfield hospital; Wash ington, D. C, shortly after 6 o'clock Sunday evening, of typhoid fever. He look sick of a cold, November 27. He was the third of those who were closely associated with Dewey at the battle of Manila, who have died since that time, viz: Captain Gridley, Commander Wood and Lieutenant Brumby. He was 44 years of age and unmarried. G. M. Hitchcock, editor of the Omaha World-Herald, made the following announcement concerning his candidacy for appointment as TJ. S. senator: "I cannot honestly deny that I am deeply disappointed. I feel most keenly the sting of ingratitude." It is said that a telegram frost Bryan urging Allen's appointment settled the matter. .

Manila, Dec. 18. General Lawton will start from Manila tonight with the Eleventh cavalry, under Colonel Lock- ett, and battalions of the Twenty-ninth and Twenty-seventh infantry, under Lieutenant Colonel Sargent, to capture San Mateo, where Geronoma has 300 in surgents. General Grant has nearly cleared Zambeles province. He discovered hid den in Subig bay a steamer, the Don Francisco, of 180 tons, fully equipped and coaled. It is supposed to bo the vessel Aguinnldo was keeping ready for his escape. Captain Layson of the Thirty-second regiment has routed an insurgent band in Zambeles province, killing several officers. Major Smith, with three com panies of the Seventeenth, surrounded and captured another band of guerrillas which were terrorizing a large section of the north. The troops killed several of the band. General Hughes has captured insur gent strongholds at Leapiz and Bom blin, the navy co-operating. One man was killed and one wounded. The insurgents in the Island of Panny are apparently suppressed. A suit, is to be brought against the government, by an action in Denver. The United States monetary league will give the state of Colorado as a present a solid silver brick of the purest metal of 100 ounces and representing 8100 at par ratio. The state will send it to the United States mint at Washington with the demand that it be coined into one hundred silver dollars. It is snpposed that this proceeding will let daylight into the situation. Mrs. Lace, wife of the murdered man at Odessa, has made a confession, in which she charges Frank L. Dinsmore, the husband of the murdered woman, with having committed both crimes, his wife by poison, and the man by shooting him while he was still asleep in bed. It is charged that for several months Dins more had been infatuated with Mrs. Laue, and on different occasions had tried to get her to elope with him, which she refused to do. In the senate Monday Senator Allen's credentials were read, his commission from Governor Poynter naming him as senator until his successor should be elected and qualified. To this Chandler of New Hampshire took exception, point ing out that Allen could hold his seat only until the legislature should meet "Of course,'' said Chandler, "that part of the credentials must be regarded as void." Charles A., son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Tawney near Cedar Bluffs, committed suicide Tuesday evening of last week by hanging himself to the rafters of the barn. Some who knew him well, offer disappointment in love as an explana tion of the deed. I ittttitital fend. 5 1 mmumummmummm Valuable Erkty Acre.

The business to be transacted is stated to be the buying, selling and leasing of mineral and other lands and the mining and milling of all kinds of ores in Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming.

H. J. Hendryx reports that he re ceived returns from his squash seed last week. He raised five acres, and the returns are 8197.20 net, which includes the price of the seed,' freight, etc He says there was a clear profit of $25 per acre after paying for the labor. Mr. Hendryx has a very complimentary let ter from the seed house, who say that under their test one hundred per cent of the seed germinated. From the above it will appear that the seed raising indus try is profitable here. Mr. Hendryx says he will put in quite a number of acres next year. We have not ascertain ed how the Emerson's made it pay at Oconee last season.

It will injure the holiday trade at least twenty five per cent, has stopped the coal trade from south of the river entirely, diverted thousands of bushels of grain from this market, as well as cut off the hay supply seventy-five per cent It will -undoubt edly compel onr cattle feeders to ship in corn before the season is over as there is not corn enough this side of the river to supply them with feed. The country south of the river raised one of the larg est crops of corn in its history and a Ianre amount of it is being hauled to Fnllerton and Silver Creek.
