Axdbcw Carnegie has presented the -.city of Lincoln $75,000 for a public .library. An earthquake shock in southern Cal ifornia did damage Monday morning to the amount of $50,000. The bodies of the Maine disaster are expected to reach Washington this week where the burial will take place. The recent money flurry in New York did not greatly affect the great west, which is becoming more aelf-reUaat . every year. Dwiobt L. Moody, the noted evan . gelist, died Friday at his home at East . Iforthfleld, Mass. He was born Feb ruary 5, 1837. The voting machine is among the next improvements, and they are being perfected so rapidly that they will be here in short order. It was a kick in the stomach that Governor Poynter and W. J. Bryan gave Gilbert M. Hitchcock for his loyal and untiring support. Albion Newa Ex-Govebnok Robert W. Furnas of Brownville was married Christmas to - Mrs. Susannah . Jameson of the same place. He is seventy-five, she fifty-nine. An Iowa farmer near Sioux City the other day was robbed of $367, the en tire value of his season's corn crop by two mounted highwaymen. They got away. - Bbtan is now reported aa telling the democrats that they can select Thurs ton's successor in the senate. Not a very agreeable salve for their wounded feelings. The new governor-general of Cuba seems to be in favor at once. A critic says: "General Wood, although prom ising nothing, speaks volumes by his quiet, domestic manner of taking charge of affaire." It is said there is a railroad company in the south that has promulgated an order that in addition to abstaining from all intoxicating drinks, a man who wants a job on the road must not smoke cigarettes. A horrible disaster at the Brasnell , pin) Rajnrnmrilla "ftnnirrlrnnin. filled the dailies'Monday with harrowing details. It is said that safety lamps were dispensed with. The loss of life by the explosion was some forty persons. The Windside Tribune suggests that burglaries and thefts are getting so com mon in the country that bloodhounds should be kept by the authorities, so that violators of the law can be followed up immediately, caught and punished. General Brooke, lately relieved at Cuba, is a man of 64. He will come north by easy stages to get used to the colder climate. He will probably be assigned his old command, department of the Lakes, headquarters at Chicago. Eleven little girls were burned to death at St Francis parochial school, Quincy, Illinois, when rehearsing for an entertainment, one of the dresses catch ing fire from a gas jet The children were between nine and eleven years of age. Friday thirty-six school children at Frelingham, Belgium, while at play on the frocen river Lys, having been given a holiday with permission to play on the river, suddenly disappeared from view, the ice breaking. Thirty-six bodies were recovered but others are still missing. The London Post's military expert hits the facts about right in this: "The history of the war up'to date is the history of the consequences of in activity of the cabinet from May to October. The British government in Jane, July and August instead of get ting the army ready and oa the spot, was trying to polish its conscience, and even in September could not bring itself to send more than 10,000 men." The Weaver insurance law passed last winter has been declared unconstitu tional by the saprecMcoHrt of the state. Mr. Cornell didnt do things the way they wishsa him to do, and so they aaiaavored to take the insurance out of hisands and turn it over to the gov " ernor. The "new" department will be without pay for six months past, and Cornell is one of the "big" men of the state. Gen. Lawton, who lost his life last week ib the Philippines was a model soldier. Says Gen.

Whedon of Lincoln has given to the press the copy of a bOl proposed by hiwswTf, whereby the government can gaaraatee all. depositors in national basks, the same as every holder of a atkmal bask note is protected against loss.

Washington Post Tke Kid in Sight. Just now there is some curiosity as to what Mr. Hitchcock of the World-Herald is going to do, because Governor Poyn ter didn't appoint him senator, or per haps rather why the governor submitted to be dictated to by William J. Bryan. Many of the democratic wing of the fusion forces have been wondering and wondering why it was that if the gover nor had serious objections against Mr. Hitchcock, he couldn't find some other democrat who would be comparatively free from opposition. There were plenty of them, surely. We think the truth is that Bryan and Allen are the would-be political dictators for Nebraska, and are not long-sighted enough to see that it would have possi bly delayed somewhat the end of their reign to appoint Hitchcock or some other democrat When politics in Ne braska was mainly (and almost wholly) Which railroad company shall domineer? public matters were in much better shape as a rule than they are now. Who believes that anything like the best men of the fusion forces are man aging their affairs? Who believes that Bryan, Allen, Hol comb, Poynter and Robison will con tinue long unchecked in their career? The dullest sighted have now had abundant opportunity to see the utter and thorough selfish character of the populist leaders, demonstrated in great broad flaring letters across the political sky of Nebraska, and from now on the yoke that they will try to place upon their presumed allies, but would-be ser vants will be very strongly resented.

Politicians Ch&agiig Places. There is going to be quite a readjust ment among the politicians. Democrats voting for the gold standard bill and silver republicans are taking their doll rags and leaving the republican ranks. The proclamation of the latter as to their motives is put in strong and forci ble terms, but not less forcible is the declaration of those who are deserting the free eilver ranks. Here is an ungrammatical bnt strong statement from Congressman Joe Sibley: I publicly predicted that if McKinley and the gold standard were successful, prices would fall with a corresponding increase in the purchasing power of the gold dollar, and we would have an era of hard times and commercial depression such as this country has seldom wit nessed. Now I look around me, and I see the forges blazing, the fires lighted in all the furnaces, the shuttles weaving and the looms spinning. Every man who has a day's labor to sell finds a ready market for it. Everywhere there are plenty and prosperity, and so it occurs to me that somebody must have been mistaken, and perhaps that fellow was me. Good sense, but bad grammar. St Joseph News. The story circulated to the effect that Major John A. Logan had been killed by his own men in the Philippines is put to rest by Lieutenant Colonel Brereton of the Thirty-third infantry, in a letter to Mrs. Logan, in which he says: "Your husband died a hero, while leading in battle the command to which he had been assigned upon joining his regiment the Third battalion. His battalion was the advance guard of the regiment in attack upon the town of San Jacinto. Yesterday, November 11, Major Logan was leaning over a wounded soldier, to assist him, when he was shot through the head. This was shortly before 9 o'clock in the morning. Prompt sur gical attendance was at hand, but the major never recovered consciousness and died while being conveyed to the hospital. The exact locality was about two miles from San Fabian on the road to San Jacinto. I was one of the last persons who saw him alive and he was brave and self-possessed until struck down by the enemies' bullet" The supreme court has sustained the right of the State Board of Transporta tion to regulate express rates. This doubtless will prove a serious blow to the members of the board who enjoy be ing restrained from doing anything to interfere with the transportation rate makers. If the board has power to reg ulate express rates it must also have power to, regulate railroad freight and passenger rates, and that being true the live stock shippers who resent the recent arbitrary advance in rates should lose no time in invoking the power of the board. Rates'on live stock affect the interests of the farmers directly and the State Board of Transportation is composed of popo cratie officials whose party was founded on the issue of reduced railroad rates for Nebraska products. A test case will show the shallowness of the pretensions of the reformers. Omaha Bee. There was another case to come up in county court today in which the court was asked to declare a missing man legally dead in order that his estate might be settled. Andrew Moline dis appeared from his home, Logan town ship, in October, 1892, and no word has been heard of him by friends or relatives since then. Inasmuch as he had been missing for over seven years the judge ordered that he be considered as dying intestate and on the filing of a $1,000 bond by Louis Moline, the latter was declared administrator of the estate.

Meagher, an elephant trainer, Ixt'er known as Patsy Forepaugb, was instant ly killed by an elephant this afternoon at Sellsville. The elephant known as "Sid," has been in captivity for twenty years and was never regarded as vicious. This afternoon Meagher led the ele phants into the training circle for their daily exercise, when "Sid" became unruly and the trainer jabbed the animal with his stick. "Sid" became furious and hurled the trainer to the ground with his trunk. The elephant then fell on his victim, pierced Meagher's body with one of his tusks, on which was a brass ball six inches in diameter.
