"Intellectual attainment, the mastery of sciences, is a very poor thing ; not a good thing at all, if along with this increase of knowledge there has not been the bettering and stiffening of char acter, and of high moral aims. It is not wealth or equipage or personal attainments that make one differ from another. It is character. Ex-President Harrison in an address to school chil dren last week. xxxsoo; The republican state convention is to be held in Lincoln May 2,- at 2 o'clock p. m.t and it was decided to hold but one convention. L. D. Richards of Fremont, H. O. Paine of Ainsworth and J. L. McCarthy of Dixon were elected mem bers of the state committee. The Hastings Tribune wants C. H. Dietrich of that city for the next re publican candidate for governor. From all accounts that we see of him, he may be set down as one of the strongest con testants for the place. The Kearney Hub says be is a well-informed man and has the requisite ability for the position. In Victoria, B. G, Upper Laird, a Scotch-Indian family of seven named McTavkh, was recently massacred on the theory that they had caused the scurvy by witchcraft. Their residence was set on fire at night, and as they came out to escape the flames, they were shot down. One, the eighth, escaped to the woods, and reached Laketown. Viret Hawkins, a desperado, was shot and killed Friday night about midnight on a St. Joe and Grand Island train which had just pulled out of Davenport, says a telegram from Clay Center, Ne braska. He was one of a gang of chicken thieves, and had been very ugly when the officers had undertaken his arrest, but 8beriff Secord of Clay county didn't allow Hawkins to get the "drop" on him. It is said that Buffalo Bill has such confidence in General Otis that he is already negotiating for the appearance of Aguinaldo with the Wild West show. Columbus (Neb.) Journal. Correct, and he will also endeavor to secare the services of Senator Hoar to introduce "the second George Washing ton," as the senator from Massachusetts delights in calling him. Cody (Wyo.) Enterprise. The senate finance committee reported a new section to the financial bill, as fol lows: "That the provisions of this act are not intended to place any obstacles in the way of the accomplishment of international bimetausm, provided the same be received by concurrent action of the leading commercial nations of the world and at a ratio which shall insure permanence of relative value between gold and silver." Last Wednesday in the house of com mons, John Redmond, chairman of the United Irish party, spoke for the inde pendence of South African republics. England today, he said, stands in dis graceful isolation, Turkey alone lending her countenance. The unanimous dis approval of the world demonstrates that the war is unjust and it ought therefore be stopped. His amendment to the address in reply to the speech from the throne, was rejected by a vote of 368 to6C Last Thursday morning between 2 and 4 o'clock, a wind storm that reached a velocity of sixty miles an hour struck St Louis, doing considerable damage to property, at least $20,000 worth being destroyed. Mrs. Susie Thompson be came entangled in a live wire which had been blown down and was killed. At Vaacomver, B. C, boat houses were swept away, boats wrecked and trees torn ap by the roots. GoUineville, HL, twelve miles from St. Louis, narrowly soaped destraction by the tornado. Nine persons were seriously injured. Wtthiifttn City. Washington, D. C, Feb. 10, 1900. The "anti-imperialistic league" of this city, which includes all the anarchists and latter-day Valandighams in the Dis trict, has just issued an address notifying Admiral Dewey that he is not truthful in all things, and that they know more about the conditions and events in the Philippines than he ever did. They be lieve now with Bryan that the United States ought to give up the property and establish a "protectorate." All authorities here agree, however, that to maintain a protectorate would require an actual increase in the stand ing army, with no chance of deriving any benefits, and that should Aggy later con clude to sell the islands to some Euro pean power, this country would be in a ridiculous attitude. The situation would be equally embarrassing in case of inter- oenine warfare, or in case Aggy conclud ed to declare war against some other country. In discussing the Philippine question in the house the other day Joseph Sibley, of Pennsylvania, one of the ablest demo crats in the nation, and who in the past has often been mentioned in connection with the vice presidency, said that Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson would be ashamed of the attitude of democratic leaders of the present day. He produced records to show that the old democratic statesmen were expan sionists, and he urged the party to get back where it belonged. One result of the speech was that the democratic mem bers denounced Sibley as a republican, and told him to change his seat. The answer to his speech was not very good, but it was all they had. The treasury statement at the close of business on January 31, showed a balance in the treasury of $291,950,888. It also showed that for the past seven months the receipts of the government were larger than the expenditures by $29, 822,099. Under the democratic adminis tration, and by the operations of a tariff bill which Brvan helped to pass, the country ran in debt several million dol lars a month. Another indication of prosperity is the large increase in the money circulation of the country. The total amount of money in circulation at the close of Jan uary is found to be 33 per cent greater than it was in 1896. The actual increase has been $493,424,155. The indications now are that during the coming campaign Nebraska will hear some of the best orators of the country. The storm center will revolve around Nebraska and Kentucky. It is beyond question that the east is for sound money, protection and expansion, while the south will through the aid of its election machinery be held in line for democracy. The debatable ground will be in the central and western states. Mr. Bryan has just made some speeches in New Jersey, near here, and democratic papers triumphantly an nounce that at one place all the shops and factories closed so the men could go to hear the speech. This was not remarkable, as the main object of the Bryan campaign seems to be to close up the factories. H. Frank Hibbabd of Irvington, Nebr., in an impromptu speech before the state board of transportation the other day concerning railroad freight rates con cluded by saying that the farmers and shippers had been lenient and long suff ering. "We have .been plucked of our feathers for years," he said, amidst gen eral laughter; "even the pin feathers are gone. Now we have to pay more for what we buy, you are raising the cost of getting to market what we have to sell. We are straggling to grow at least some more pin feathers while you are plucking us again and again." By a vote 3 to 2 Wednesday afternoon the board rescind ed the order of 1897 restoring carload rates on live stock and instructed its secretaries to issue a substitute order on the railroad companies to make a reduc tion of 10 per cent in the existing cattle rates and 5 on the rates for shipping hogs. The roll-call showed the following result: Yea, Meserve, Wolfe, Cornell; nay, Porter, Smyth. Judge William H. Taft of Cincinnati has been appointed by President MrKin- ley to be president of the new Philippine commission, all the members of which are to be civilians. It is likely that at leaBt some of the old commission will be appointed on this. It is generally thought that so soon as the necessity for military government ceases, Mr. Taft will be appointed governor general of the archipelago. This is in line with repub lican principles and practices, viz: to hold the civil authority supreme; the military as an aid to the civil; no war except for the sake of peace. !WiHimjraiuitHittMiijfjiMtBii "Cuba is the best country on earth for American investors today," said B. F. Hake, who has just returned from a visit of several weeks in the island weeks which were spent on the rail and in the saddle over the western part of the country. "But prospective investors," he says, "should steer clear of the Amer ican investment and colonization com panies which have sprung up in Havana since the war with Spain. A man must look at what he contemplates buying or he will be cheated. Good land can be bought within fifteen miles of Havana on government roads for $15 per acre, and off of the roads land equally good will sell for $1 per acre. Land is the beet form of investment Property is being bought in the city of Havana which is paying 20 per cent on the investment, and farm land will produce even more. I saw one acre of tobacco land which will produce a gross income of $5,000, and land which appears equally good can be bought for $20 per acre. I am going back as soon as I can arrange my affairs here." Omaha Bee. ttitfiiial feral. BewlntMU tf lajpect. Fireman's Hall, Columbus, Nebr., February 3, 1900. Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to call from our ranks an honorary mem ber in the person of Robert H. Henry, and in view of the loss we have sustained by his death, and in view of the still heavier loss sustained by those who were nearest and dearest to him, therefore be it Resolved, That it is but a just tribute to the memory of the departed to say, that we mourn for one who was in every way worthy of our respect and regard. Resolved, That we sincerely condole with the family of the deceased, on this visitation with which it has pleased Divine Providence to afflict them, and commend them for consolation to Him who orders all things for the best and whose chastisements are meant in mercy. Resolved, That this heartfelt testimo nial of oar sympathy and sorrow be for warded to the family of our departed friend and brother fireman, and a copy of the same be spread on a special page in the minute book of the Columbus Fire Department Bert J. Gallet, ) Louis Held, I Committee. Mark T. McMahon, ) Evert fact relative to the natural his tory of Nebraska is interesting, and many of them are essential when considering the development of the natural resources of the state. The Omaha World-Herald ays that at the smelter there has been an artesian well operating for a year and a half, going down 1450 feet and yield img at beat 800 gallons a minute. Its flow varies greatly and in midwinter is so reduced that geologists think the uaderiow feeding it comes from the Black Hills and is largely cat off by fleecing of springs and streams. The people of the United States are ia danger of overlooking in the Ken tucky eidteaaent the well established fact that Taylor waa elected governor by so large a aaajority over Goebel that even the Goebel election board, a majority of desaocrats, dechned toreo- i contest and gave the certifi cate to Taylor. The direct cause of all cf taw) evil that has been visited upon Ksatacky dwia the past week is the of the legislature to go 1 the returns sad change the remit the peofie recorded at the ballot Foul s was the murder of Goebel R waa hardly worse than the rape of the ballet eeateataleted aad bow partially carried eat by the democrat BMsabera of the legislature Tsar1" . American commerce with the islands and countries of the Pacific shows a greater gain in the year 1899 than that with any other part of the world. Our total exports increased twenty million dollars, and our exports to Asia and Oceania alone increased over nineteen million dollars; our total imports in creased $164,000,000 and forty-eight mil lion dollars of this increase was from Asia and Oceania. Exports to Asia and Oceania increased 27 per cent, while im ports from that part of the world in creased 40 per cent Of this increase of twenty million dollars in exports to Asia and Oceania, over six millions went to British Australia, four millions to the Hawaiian islands, four millions to China, and 'the remainder distributed to the various countries and islands of that part of the western Pacific, while of the imports from Asia and Oceania, twelve millions were from the Dutch East In dies, eleven millions from Japan, nine millions from the British East Indies, seven 'millions from China and six mil lions from Hawaii A current report, perhaps founded in imagination, details a scheme whereby 8enator Allen expects to play into Bryan's hands again. The alleged plan ia to get himself nominated by the popu lists for president so as to have the party rank and file flatter themselves they have at hurt a candidate of their own. He will then wait until too late for them to make another nomination, when he will with draw in Mr. Bryan's favor, leaving the committee to substitute the The senator played a nrettv aaaooth game at St Louis in Bryan's interests aad it ia natural to give some credence to any plausible plan of manip ulating the wiree to accomplish the same end this year.

MAny letters for So-and-so? theywul ask, giving an imaginary name, their, object being apparently o gratify Idle curiosity by studying the superscriptions and reading the post als. Last fall an idiot of that type re ceived a severe lesson here in this house. He made the usual request, giving rather a peculiar name, which he afterward admitted he had thought of on the spur of the moment. By a re markable coincidence two central office detectives were standing near the desk at the time, and the name he gave was that of a noted crook who was wanted by the police of Chicago very badly. "Without a word more than was nec essary they took the young gentleman by the arm and carried him off to po lice headquarters. He was so astonish ed that he was unable to make a co herent explanation and really present ed a picture or guilt. His story at head quartern that he had asked for letters under an assumed name was regarded as so improbable that they held him until telegraphic Inquiries could be made. Of course It turned out that be waa not the Chicago crook, but he got the scare of his life, and you may rest assured that he has dropped that form of amusement from his Indulgences." New York News.

A well known divinity professor, a grave and learned man, had five daugh ters, whom his students irreverently named "Genesis," "Exodus," "Num bers," "Leviticus" and "Deuteronomy." Beginning his lecture one day, the professor said, "Gentlemen, I wish to speak to you about the age of Gene sis." Roars of laughter came from the students. "Genesis Is not so old as you sup pose," continued the professor. More roars so long continued. In deed, that the worthy man had time to think before he made the next remark.
