Mat 9, at Sionx Falls, 8. D., has been named by the Populist national commit tee for their national convention. Fbom 1889 to 1899 scarcely any new railroads were built in Iowa; last year, 682 miles of new road were constructed. Fnnux Timothy Keohake was in stantly killed by the falling of an eighty foot iron stack at a fire in Detroit, MiclL, Sunday. Give the farmer abundant crops and remunerative prices and every class of legitimate business will be prosperous. uur. .rujriiMjr. Leslie E. Keelev of gold-cure fame died last Wednesday in Los Angeles, California, of heart disease. He leaves an estate valued at $1,000,000 to his wife and sister. Twentt-two miles out from Santiago de Cuba, snow fell recently upon a mountain top, for the first time in thirty years, and thousands of the natives rode out on the cars to see the wonder. As soox as frost is out of the ground Elmwood is to have work begun on a home-made telephone, the stockholders being subscribers, and all of them citi zens. "When you want anything, go after it" One of our exchanges calls attention to the fact, wondering at it, that Judge Taft who is the first civil American gov ernor of the Philippines is an Ohio man. The wonder would be if he were from any other state but Ohio. National City (CaL) Record. The Blair Courier says it does not exist simply to discuss politics or to air its opinions, but primarily to do busi ness, and further "should we lack $500 in meeting expenses the coming year, no party wonld put up the balance, hence no party has or shall have any control whatever over us." The Fremont Tribune is authority for saying that Dodge county is entitled to ten delegates in the next convention of the Silver Republican party, but that the only silver republican in the county is Jake Maxwell, and the last known of him he lived at Philadelphia. He was dis trict central committee man. The American Monthly Review of Reviews for March discusses the war in South Africa in its various phases, the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, the Puerto Rican tariff, our situation in the Philippines, the steamship subsidy bill, the Kentucky disorders, Governor Roosevelt's admin istration in New York, the approaching Presidential campaign, and many other timely topics. At Humboldt, Iowa, a once wealthy and prominent farmer of the county named Michael Chess, recently died of neglect, and the case is in the courts. He became demented, was sent to an asylum, afterwards released, deeded a farm of 200 acres to his sister, Mrs. Frank Mikalek. His treatment seems to have been very cruel and fiendish. No physi cian was called; he had had congestion of the lungs; the bowels were inflamed; the feet were found frozen and several toes were sloughed off; the body was very emaciated, telling of cruelty and neglect Evidence showed that Chess had been kept in the barn, had received poorer food than the stock on the farm, was barefoot and practically unclothed. He had never been within the house since the removal from the asylum until the night of his death. Mikalek and his wife are under arrest Senatob Au.sk, a few days ago, wrote a letter to Secretary of State Porter re questing that he furnish him some naaMS and information as to state poli ties, eta, and in closing says: "I am doing all that I can to cause the repub licans as much trouble as possible." What an ignoble sentiment and purpose is shown in this expression ! He is doing all he can, not for the upholding of the hotior and defending the country he has sworn faithfully to serve, but to harass and annoy the party that is upholding the country's honor and increasing its prosperity every day. It appears that a large number of senators and represen tatives of the populist and democratic faith have only one purpose, one aim, in sitting ia their cushioned seats at the national capital, and that is to oppose the republican party, the only party that has forced prosperous conditions out of bankrupt conditions made so by the put ting into effect the policies opposed to republican principles. Some men have only a zealousness to be antis. Pender Republic Axxa Babe, of the Physical Training Department of Nebraska, has completed a record of anthropometric measurements began two years ago, which includes investigation of fifteen hundred girls in this state. The record . was sent to Dr. Seaver of Yale university mad used by him in a recent paper before the Anthropometric 8ociety of New Haven. In comparing the measurements with those made in the east Dr. Seaver fade that the "girls from the east are latter-chested, flatter-headed, leaser in luag capacity end bigger-footed." He thhikt the difference is due to the pro of Teutonic blood in the He also noticed that, first, the is taller and heavier t the typical woman of either of the r while the Oberlia'and are about the same .It is of great interest . that the Nebraska woman has lung capacity, as she has fifths, and this item alone higher type or pfeymcai life of greater activity than is found in either of the other two . Colonel Watterson's new definition of an election by the people is "chance." He is for the Goebel law because its re sults are definite. St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat. Oraim Gtmn Hitmal Hail Co. A goodly number of Platte county men are somewhat interested in the affaire of the above-named concern, whose mutu ality seems to have been confined almost exclusively to the inner circle of office holders. A late number of the Omaha Bee gives the present status of affairs, and undoubtedly the swindling officials will be made to walk the log, if they can be found. "The investigation by the county attorney began soon after a receiver was appointed, for there was then ample opportunity for investigation of the books of the company. The information is drawn up at great length and in addi tion to the first, in which the larceny and embezzlement of $4,600 is charged against Harris, Hilliker and White, sep arate information is also filed sgainst the officers as individuals and their alleged peculations are listed in sums ranging all the way from $700 to $2,500. The double charge of larceny and embezzle ment is carried all the way through. The grand total of all the alleged pilfer ing aggregates somewhere near $iu,wu, in which it is alleged that all were about equally concerned. The association was conducted in a most energetic manner, no matter what else may be said of it, for its business extended to every part of the state. Thousands of dollars of policies were written and losses occurred from time to time, but the policy hold ers found it difficult to make collection, it is alleged. Numerous suits by policy holders are now pending in the district courts, the idea being to force payment of losses. It is said that the investiga tion made thus far indicates that the greater part of the money taken was dis bursed in salaries to the various officers or appropriated by them outright. At least that is the line along wtucn tne prosecution will make its fight" IV THE CELLAS. Our Correspondent sees the Ghost and Tells About it. Washington, D. O, Feb. 24, 1900. In years past the reader has often heard financiers of the Tibbies-Porter sort tell of the fiendish work of the gov ernment in its destruction of the green backs. They told how the plutocrats congregated down in the dark vanlts of the treasury building and destroyed "the people's money." The story always had a ghoulish sound which made young blood run cold. In fact many older heads were fooled by this same story. Yesterday your correspondent went down through all the vaults of the treas ury basement and took a good look at the machine which is used to "destroy the people's money." It was there, sure enough, and the guide explained that the amount destroyed averaged one million dollars per day, or about $10,000,000 per year. The greenbacks are counted out into packages, then run into a machine where they are split in two and punched full of holes. Then a committee of three puts them in a big machine and the money is ground to a pulp. A treatment of acid and water follows, and the pulp is sold for $40 per ton. They were actually counting out and destroying the money while tbe writer was there, and this is why. The con stant use of money causes it to wear out or get ragged. These old bills are turn ed into the treasury by the banks and other institutions, in exchange for new ones. The old bills are counted and destroyed. But every day enough new money is printed to take the place of the old, and down in that basement four presses are turning out the new bills, a million dollars a day. It was simple enough, and the old ghost story was explained. A wise gov ernment was destroying the old, ragged and germ-infested bills of "the people's money," and was giving back new bills in exchange. A good deal like Nebraska pop finance preachers, whose theories become ragged and worn, and have to be replaced. Down in the vaults your correspond ent also saw the great stores of gold, sil ver, paper and bonds, a total of $860, 327,947.90. Of this, $153,933,000 was sil ver coin. The dimensions of the silver vault are 31 by 89 feet The gold, bonds and paper money are kept in smaller vaults. The writer was allowed to go in and "heft" the packages, although an imperialistic employe of the government stood by and kept his eyes wide open. Most of tbe men employed in handling the money are women. It is found that women have the finer touch and are the most expert in handling paper. The packages are each counted and checked by several persons, and any error detect ed means the loss of just that much salary from the person responsible. A year or so ago when the deposits of "the people's money" in Nebraska banks was found to amount to forty million dollars, a pop "economic writer" franti cally declared "the conditions which cause panics are right at hand." He was right A condition of plenty always causes a panic among the calamityites. A visit to the U S. treasury vaults, the sight of the stores of money, and the whirling of the presses on the new issue to replace tbe old bills, would make any populist financier have a panic. H. AQnjry. Say, you fellows who are still denounc ing the administration and insisting there is nothing but calamity and woe in the land, do any of you know where there are any Free Soup Houses or Common-Weal Armies in existence at the present time? And have any of you heard there are no less than A Million Laborers Getting Increased Wages? Dont yon think it is a dangerous un dertaking to go into the campaign how ling calamity, whan there is no calamity? Fremont Tribune. :xxx XXX XXXI Ike Sitmatisn. Persistent rumors credit the Russian government with tbe desire to turn to advantage in Asia the difficulties in which Great Britain finds herself en tangled in Africa. Russia's chief rival in Asia is Great Britain, and the interests of the two empires are coming more and more in close contact It is very im portant for the world's peace that these two great powers abide peaceably side by side, and work together, as well as they may for the progress of Asia. At Paardeberg, Feb. 22, was tbe fourth day of Cronje's fine defense. The posi tion was found to be wonderfully strong naturally, and to form the real key to the position in the case of defense against Boer reinforcements advancing from the east A great deal of forage, provisions and equipment was captured, and the kopje was frequently dotted with blood, showing that many wounded had been removed. Tbe Boer method of removing their dead is to tie a couple of reins to the body, which is thus dragged off by two horsemen at full gallop. The headlines try to tell the story: "Cronje cornered, but fighting to the death. Fourth day of the battle. Opens with fearful fire, ending in Boer reverse. Death rate appalling. British continue the merciless cannonading. General Cronje said to be willing to surrender, bnt young Transvaalers balk and insist on holding out." Indications via London telegrams of the 26th are that the Boers are very much discouraged. At Pretoria con sternation. Tbe generals want Presi dent Kroger to sue for peace. At Bloem fontein Gen. Cronje's position is regarded as hopeless. Rev. Edwabd Everett Hale, pastor of the South Congregational church, Boston, has adopted water instead of wine for use in communion, "because many persons who find wine a tempta tion or an offence are virtually barred from the communion table."

Sheedy had shelled, and delivered to the sheep ranch last Thnrsday, two cribs of corn. David Boyd of your city spent the Sabbath at Home Farm, the guest of Geo. W. Drinnin. Farmers generally are better satisfied with the present price of pork than they have been for some time previous. The average farmer hereabonts is not slow to admit that the sheep ranch just north of the city is a great blessing to this farming community. Last Friday morning we saw peach buds examined at Home Farm where they were found to be uninjured, and gave good promise to bear fruit. George Drinnin has a pet hen sitting on eggs in the barn office, and today she will have accomplished the feat of sitting faithfully the allotted three weeks, a part of the time during the prevalence of a blizzard. The soft air from the south Thursday caused tbe snowbanks along t ho east and west roads to melt and start in little rivulets for the lower places, when about 9 o'clock in the evening, wind changed to northwest making ice in many places, which made it very difficult for barefoot horses to travel. In conversing with several farmers we find that listing corn is creeping up, on the heretofore exclusive custom of check ing tbe corn in. It seems that every farmer who listed some last year will increase the acreage this year, being con vinced that they get a little more corn to the acre, and we believe that as soon as a majority of the farmers can accom plish the art of cultivating properly, the first time through, then will the down fall of checking begin. Another old land mark gone where the woodbine twinetu. We refer to the old building about two miles east of the city that furnished a home and shelter for Martin Reagan and family for so many years. Mr. Kipley, the present owner of the farm, has caused the old building to be razed to the ground, and nothing remains to show where the old house once stood, except the heavy sills and an indentation in the -ground where the cellar had once been. Mr. Kipley has a new house built about one year since, which is about fifty feet north of the old site, and is a model residence. Many old time travelers there are who can tes tify to the hospitality they received in the old shack during Mr. Reagan's ad ministration. TKJanlbMwjimiM Do Yon Wait a Calendar f The biggest and best calendar ever issued by any American railroad is now being distributed by the Burlington Route.
