Lawtox's remsins are lying in atate at Fort Wayne, Indiana, his former home. . The American Line steamer, Paris, which was saved from the Manacles, has arrived at Belfast. A new company to manufacture auto mobiles and gas engines has just started business in Omaha. Fsance object to this government appointing a woman representative to the Paris exposition. An army regulation just issued requires the soldier to wear his campaign hat in its original shape on the Alpine order. The latest from Gen. Buller's head quarters in the field, Spearman's camp is that all will be staked on the impending battle with the Boers. Ox her deathbed at Sioux Falls, S. D., Mrs. Vanhorn confessed that she mur dered her mother, the wife of Thomas Egan, who was hanged for the crime in 1882. One hundred and two sunstrokes were officially reported in the city of Buenos Ayres Sunday, and of these, ninety-three were fatal. The temperature was 120' in the shade. The United States sells more than twice as much as it buys, Germany buys f25O.O00.OO0 worth a year more than it sells, and Great Britain buys twice as much as it sella Despondency from ill health is sup posed to be the cause of the suicide of an old man named Stevens, at the resi dence of his son-in-law, W. H. Mann, near Crete Wednesday. The people of Delta, Ohio, were sur prised at the return of Oliver Pike, whose funeral was held there four years ago, and whose body was supposed to be buried in the village cemetery. Thuksdat morning Dayton, Ohio, suff .ered a heavy loss by fire which started in a boiler room, caused by an overheated boiler exploding, in the tobacco ware house of J. B. Wolf. Loss $500,000. Dpkino the current year 76,489 Italians emigrated to the United States, 53,546 were males and 22,943 females. They carried with them 9788,805.

A fibe at St Louis, Ma, Sunday morning destroyed property valued at $1,500,000. It originated in Penny & Gentle's dry goods store. Falling walls killed one fireman, and injured eight others, one probably fatally. Gen. C. J. DnwoKTH, died Saturday at his home in Omaha, of a stroke of apoplexy, which came upon him Satur day morning. He was at one time attorney-general of the state. The re mains were taken to Lincoln for burial. The present-day socialists claim that they are endeavoring to replace compe tition with national co-operation, putting all the people productively at work, instead of having most of them destroy ing wealth. "Public ownership of public utilities" is one of their maxims. O. A. Goodrich, a prominent railroad and bridge contractor, was arrested at Sioux City Thursday charged with mur dering his partner, John E. Bobson in Sioux City last month. The warrant was sworn out by Henry Morrison, a detective, who bss been working on the case. It is not thonght that the death of Mr. Goebel in Kentucky as the result of the assassination, will make any differ ence in the legal status of the contest for governor. If it is finally decided that Goebel was elected governor, then it will doubtless be held that Mr. Beck ham rightly succeeds him. On the con trary, Mr. Taylor declares that he was elected governor of the state of Ken tacky by a majority of 40,000, and de clares be will leave it to the decision of any three fair-minded men on earth. Jos SnuEYof Pennsylvania stirred the brethren up in congress in a speech last Thursday. He was formerly a very earnest advocate of the free and unlim ited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, bat has changed his views on that sub ject, and is not in line with his demo cratic colleagues on the question of expansion, Be took an hoar to criticise them for opposing the annexation of the Philippines, and when he concluded, received sock an ovation as has not been accorded any speaker in the house this Tax republican state committee meets this week, to deteraune in regard to holdtag the state conventions.

Latest War Mewi. A cablegram from Manila Monday says that Brigadier General Kobbe's expedi tion in the Islands of Luzon, Leyte and Samar has occupied permanently and garrisoned nine towns with the Forty third and Forty-seventh regiments. This has placed on the market 180,000 bales of hemp. Five thousand insurgents armed with rifles, and over 5,000 armed with wooden swords, bows and arrows, were encoun tered during the entire trip. The troops killed seventy-five natives, eleven of whom had rifles. The others were vil lagers, armed with wooden swords. The American loss was one man killed and nine men wounded. The Americans captured $9,000 in gold, the enemy's money, and forty muzzle-loading brass cannon. At Calbagog, Samar, the enemy evacuated the town, the Americans chasing, fighting and scattering them to the mountains. At Catbaalogan, Lukban, the Tagalog general, fired the place with kerosene just before the Americans landed and then fought with cannon and rifles from the hills encircling the town for two hours. When the Filipinos were driven ont the Americans did their best to save the town, fighting the fire for several hours. Thirty stone and sixty other houses in the business portion were con sumed. The soldiers prevented the fire from spending. According to the Kaiser's new naval program, Germany will have forty bat tleships in 1910, instead of the seventeen she has now, twenty large cruisers instead of eleven: forty-eight small cruisers and gun-boats in place of thirty two, and 114 torpedo boats instead of eighty-four, as at present.

A lamp-bowl accident at the Nebraska House made a flame and scorched a table and the floor, but was promptly squelched by George Spooner and Mr. Marmoy. The Lost Chord," that beautiful poem of six stanzas by Adelaide Anne Proctor, which has since been set to such appro priate music, found a place in The Journal. George Francis Train had reached bed rock. He was then living on one piece of dried apple per day, eating it for breakfast, drinking n pint of tepid water for dinner, and swelling up for supper.

The seat struck Otto in the tem ple, and his death was instantaneous. The embankment was only a foot down, and the team going slow at the time. The spot where the accident occurred was half a mile north of Edwin Abren's dwelling. Ha Wasat "SealceaV "When I go over to the old country I am going to get a lot of clothes to bring back with me," said' a well known Windsorite, who went abroad recently. "Oh," said his hearer, "if that is the case, I have a brother who is a tailor In London, and 1 will give you a letter of introduction and write him telling him to use you right." In course of time the traveler step ped into the tailor shop iu London and presented his letter of introduction. He got a warm handshake from the tailor, who said he had received a let ter from his brother telling of the traveler's expected arrival, but could not understand part of the letter. The letter,, when produced, read: "Dear Brother The bearer, Mr. , Is from our place and wishes to get a lot of clothes in London. He has all sorts of money. Soak him. Yours af fectionately." The part of the letter that could not be understood was the concluding phrase. The traveler of course under stood the Americanism, but managed to keep his face straight while he gave It a favorable construction. He saved the laugh until he could have it on his American friend. Chicago Inter Ocean. Mia Plea Far Water. "If there is anything I dislike," re marked Colonel Stilwell, wiping his mustache with impressive deliberation, "It is a bigoted person. Some of the people at my home in Kentucky came very near taking permanent offense at me, but I held out and finally con vlnced them." "What was the discussion about?" "It was the old controversy. Some body mentioned water, and Judge Mor gan stated bis opinion that it was something that ought to be abolished. The major argued for its use In moder ation, but the judge wouldn't have it. I was sorry to disagree with the judge, but I stated my arguments and clinch ed them so that he had to give in. I called his attention to the greatachieve ments which all the world is now en gaged in applauding. I recalled to his mind the glories of our naval heroes, the men who are so proud of their country, the men of whom their coun try is so proud. Then I pointed my finger at the judge and asked him how those naval heroes could have done these glorious deeds if there hadn't been plenty of water for them to sail their ships on." Washington Star. The public has to be educated like an ordinary school boy, only "what is everybody's business, is usually nobody's business," and "Experience keeps a dear school." Fremont is now using a cen tral school building which is accommo dating 360 pupils, $39,000 in bonds have been voted for a new high school build ing, the board have determined to tear down the building in use, and on the ground erect the new one, seemingly a very foolish thing to do, but, as the Tribune saya "since the bonds have been voted for a specific purpose, the proceeds could not be legally diverted to repairing this building and erecting a new building elsewhere with the remainder of the jnoney. The public bottled itself up, fn a measure, when it voted bonds up to the limit" It seems the veriest folly to tear down that good building, but the best way to keep out of trouble is not to get into it.
