XX9QOOOOaQOOOeX9eX900000QQOOe The month of February, 1900, has made the most remarkable re cord of any February in the history of our foreign commerce. The total exports were: $119,765,762, or more than one-fourth greater than that of any preceding Febraary. The excess of exports over imports is also greater by about the same rate. William Jennings Bryan's statement to the effect that the farmers of the United States are not getting on as well as they ought seems to differ materially from the opinion of those who make close study of such matters. The American Agriculturist for March says: "The im provement in agricultural conditions now, contrasting with the depth of the depression in 1894-G, is as little appre ciated by the outside public as was the farmer's condition during the hard times. It is conservative, however, to say that the produce of the United States farms for the past year was worth to the farm ers over $1,GOO,000,000 more than in either of the depressed years noted. This is an average advance of 31 per cent in values, compared with the low point The live stock of the country is said to be worth $700,000,000 more than during the hard times, or a gain of 38 per cent. Staple crops are worth $400,000,000 more than then, while other crops show an increase of $20,000,000 in valne.or a gain of 25 per cent compared with the depres sion of 95 and ,9& The products of live stock, such as meats, dairy products, calves, mutton, sheep and lambs, hides and pelts, colts, mules, etc, are said to show a gain of $370,000,000, or 40 per cent above the low point." The farmers are all right. Gen. Henry Harnden, commander of the Wisconsin department, Grand Army of the Republic, and who commanded the Wisconsin troops that, with a Mich igan company, captured Jeff. Davis, died of pneumonia the evening of March 17, at Madison, Wisconsin. Gen. Harnden was born in Massachusetts in 1823, roved the sea for several years, was in Califor nia in 1838, and again a decade later, participated in the Mexican war; was several times wounded in the Civil war, captured Jeff. Davis, was for ten years a revenue collector and has lived in com fortable retirement ever since. A widow and four children survive him. Funny, isn't it! Three years ago Wil liam J. Bryan, in nearly all his speeches, for some reason or other, took occasion to let his audiences know how poor in purse he wan, informing them that about all the wealth he possessed in the world was tied up in an acre patch planted to corn. The statement is now made that he recently invested $40,000 in registered United States four per cent bonds in the name of his wife. Conditions must be very favorable in a country that will allow a man to make such a sum of money in so short a time withont extra exertion. General Pros perity is certainly a great fellow. Sailing under the surface of water has been accomplished, a successful trial trip having been made Wednesday, a number of dives being made by men in a sub-marine torpedo boat. On the first dive it remained submerged for ten min utes, going in a straight away course, about a mile. Coming up after this run, she discharged a torpedo from her tor pedo tube at an imaginary enemy's ves sel, and then turning, dived again imme diately and came up some distance away. A succession of short dives were then made. Members of the congressional party who witnessed the exhibition, con sider the boat a success. E. F. Holmes has been on trial at Omaha, charged with forgery. He was a curbstone ticket broker during the two expositions, one of his favorite schemes being to secure tickets on which the limit had about expired and by fill ing the punch holes indicating the dates, with paper of the same color as the body of the transportation, would punch new holes putting the date of ex piration ahead to suit his convenience. Hundreds of them were passed upon train men and passenger officials before the forgery was detected. The guaranty bond companies, it is said, are beginning to assume the right to dictate employes for those whom they guarantee. It is clearly their right to object to employes, whose career has shown them incompetent or unfaithful, because such persons would tend to ren der their risk more hazardous; other wise, their assumption should be met with a firm denial. The public are en titled to some rights which the guaranty companies will be made to respect. After this, a hundred working hours in ten days is to be the maximum ex acted of any railway employe in France, and no consecutive stretch of more than twelve hours is to be tolerated. We judge that the number of railroad acci dents will be wonderfully decreased, if this law is obeyed. The people who work for their living do not ask for charity bestowed upon them, in any case, but for justice, fair treatment and honorable dealing. Frank L. Dinsmore has been on trial at Lexington, Nebr., since Wednesday on the charge of murdering his own wife and Fred Laue, having himself be come infatuated with Mrs. Laue, who claims that for months she had been under the hypnotic influence of Dins more, and had been threatened with death by him, in case she should di vulge his guilty relations with her. He was found guilty of murder in the first degree. Hon. John A. Bingham died at his home in Cadiz, Ohio, Monday, so a tele gram ia Tuesday's dailies announces. He was for many years a congressman; judge-advocate daring Lincoln's ad ministration and assisted in the prose cution of his assassins; was minister to Japan, since which he has resided at Cadiz, where was laid the foundation of his public career, and where he will be held in grateful reaaeaibrance. District court for Adams county con vened at Hastings Monday. The first case on the criaunal docket is that of MissYiolaHorlocker.accused of attempt ing to poison Mrs. Morey with candy. The case is notable on account of its sensational features and of the high social standing of all persons concerned. n X ixxxxxxxxxxxxx By the Columbus papers we see that there were a large number of land trans fers in Platte connty during February. In the purchase of these farms part of the price was given as a mortgage back on the land. Yet the records show that $17,363 more of mortgages were paid off than were filed. That's prosperity for you and ought to do more than anything else to make republicans thick up in Platte. Schuyler Sun. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat con siders Missouri an unlncky state for the democrats, nationally speaking. It says that the democratic candidate nominated in the two national conventions of that party, which were held in that state, were defeated Tilden in 1876 and Cleveland in 1888. A like fate, that paper thinks, will hit the man who is nominated at Kansas City this year. Students of the University of Iowa are enraged at the alleged sending by the University of Minnesota Debating league of their secretary, Guy L. Caldwell to spy upon Iowa's preliminary debate. He gained a seat and took notes of the debaters' arguments, but on leaving the hall, suspicion being roused against him he was followed and made to give up his notes. Cuban papers say that the talk about an uprising in the island is all bosh, inasmuch as there is nothing to rise against. And it may be said in the same connection that the longer the rising is postponed the lees' likelihood of it ever coming to pass. Prosperity brings con tentment in Cuba as well as in the United States. Cincinnati Commercial. The Christian Herald of New York a few years ago was instrumental in send ing 90,000 bushels of corn for distribu tion among starving Hindoos. It will endeavor to raise 50,000 bushels to send this year, asking money contributions, intending to buy the grain in New York. The Indian government will pay for the ship. The Columbus Journal thinks that 20 per cent on delinquent taxes is a diabolical rate of interest. And so it is. Lincoln Journal. Every member elected to the legisla ture should be pledged to reduce the rate. MHWMIMIMnMlrlWMIWIIIIIIIISMafMIIIIwi The Dedication. Notwithstanding the disagreeably cold weather of Thursday, there were a con siderable number of people present at the exercises in Frankfort square. A delay of nearly an hour was made by receipt of a telegram from G. A. R. comrades on their way by train, but finally, Baker Post with its accessions signified readiness to move and the line of march was taken up from their hall on Eleventh street, the Evans Rifies, under command of Captain Kilian form ing the rear guard, the procession halt ing at the corner of North and Thir teenth to receive Governor Poynter, his private secretary Jewell, Mayor Fitz pat- rick and members of the city council. At the Park, there was au endeavor to form a square with the speaker's stand at the east side, the Evans Rifles at the west, the G. A. R. .comrades at the north and south. The Rifles held their own very well during the services, but the other three lines gave way more or less against the constant and pene trating pressure of the cold wind. A chorus of yonng ladies from the schools in charge of Prof. Garlichs fur nished the vocal music, and the Colum bns City Band filled the air with as much harmony as could be felt against the wind. Remarks of J. H. Galley in turning over the monument to Baker Post: Mr. Commander of Baker Post No. 9, G. A. R.: In behalf the monument com mittee it gives me great pleasure to meet you and so many of my comrades and citizens today, and it may be well to ex plain how it came about, after so many years, to erect this memorial shaft. From our honored mayor's great desire to salute, not only our own brave 'boys" of Company "K", but all the volunteers that might be going or returning from the Philippine Islands, conceived the idea that fire bells, steam whistles, bombs and crackers, were hardly suitable for military display. He urged Baker Post to secure from the government a cannon so that the people of Columbus might salute each Glorious Fourth in a becom ing manner, but Baker Post not wishing to be responsible for any accident, de cided to get some ordnance cannon and erect a Soldiers' monument, and on the 17th day of September, 1898, a committee was appointed by the commander of Baker Post to confer with the Ordnance department and devise ways and means, to erect a monument to commemorate the lives of the Soldiers and Sailors of the Civil War; and as the result.of their labor I have the pleasure to present to you this monument, that it may be ded icated by you and your comrades to the noble purpose for which it has been erected. And like our silent comrades these cannon will never more belch forth fire and destruction, but, like this shaft, be as reminders of war's dire commotion. Poet Commander E. O. Rector then proceeded with services calling upon Adjutant D. N. Miner, Officer of the DayR L. Boasiter, Senior Vice Com mander W. A. McAllister, Junior Vice Commander E. H. Funk, Chaplain A. W. Clark to assist in their appropriate places in the ceremony. The iag was then slowly raised while the baad played The Star-Spangled Banner;" a symbol for the sailors, an anchor, and a musket for the soldiers, were plaeed against the monument; Clarence Clark aad George Bushel, each in appropriate uniform, personated re spectively the sailors aad the soldiers, while Ed. Albaaga, Las Bollia and Jessie Keller acted as gasrd of honor. The prayer of dedication by tha chap lain and scripture quotations appro priate to the occasion, were followed by a salute and the presentation of the monument to the city. Remarks of J. H. Galley in turning over the monument to the City Council: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of Columbus, Nebr.: As chairman of the monument committee, it gives me great pleasure this day to meet so many of my fellow citixens on this occasion who have assembled here to participate in dedicating this monu ment. In' behalf of the comrades of Baker Post No. 9, G. A. R, I wish to thank the citizens of Columbus for their generous contributions that made it possible for ns to erect this monumental shaft to the memory of those soldiers and sailors, both on land and sea, who offered their lives for the security of the citizens, and the unity of the states. Though silent, it is sacred to every loyal and patriotic heart; it needs no words to assure us that our dead are held in remembrance. It is an object lesson to our children, of the patriotism of tuuir siren. It is sig nificant of brave and loyal obedience to the command of the nation in the days of its peril. Mr. Mayor and members of the Coun cil of the City of Columbus, and your successors: In behalf of Baker Post No. 9, department of Nebraska, G. A. R, I now place in your care Hub monument. May its silence ever impress upon you the sacredness of the trust; may you ever guard it, in memory of those who fought for the unity of our nation, and the preservation of our glorionaflag that its stars and stripes might float over a united nation. In a few short years this great army of veterans will have passed away to the great beyond where the tap of the drum will fail to awake them. Soon, but few will answer to the roll call of their posts on Memorial day to decorate the graves of their comrades, but this shaft may, by your care, stand for all time, as an emblem of the pa triotism of Ihe citizens of Columbus, and our loyal dead. Mayor Fitzpatrick responded. Mr. Chairman: As I look backward over life's pathway, I see many, many bright and happy days, and many pleas ant occasions. And Mr. Chairman, let me assure you that the pleasure of being privileged to be present here today and to receive from your hands this precious document, given in behalf of Baker Post No. 9, to the city of Columbus. It is a pleasure that crowns all storms, a pleas ure that I shall never forget. It is an honor that I am proud of and why should I not be? The pleasure of witnessing these im pressive ceremonies coupled with your eloqnent address, in presenting that monument, that beautiful shaft to the city of Columbus, has carried many of us, all, I will say, back to the scenes of our boyhood, back to the dark, stormy days of the early sixties. Yon hear again that Fort Snmpter has fallen; you see again the dark war clouds rolling over our fair land; you are among the first to respond to the president's call for volun teers; yon feel again the fond embrace of your weeping mother and sisters; a fare well kiss and yon are off for the war. As you near the corner of the street or a bend in the road yon slacken your pace, you halt and look backward. Love beckons yon to return. Duty leckons yon forward. Your first battle is being fought. Duty is victorious and yon start forward a man, a soldier, an American volunteer, one of God's noblemen, going forth of your own free will to bat tle for the union of states. There is no body of men, no organiza tion on God's footstool more deserving of a monument to their memory and heroism, than the American volunteer. I mean yon comrades of the civil war. Yon who at the fatal battle of Bull Run faced overpowering numbers. You bat tled with the enemy hour after hour, until they advanced on yon forty thous and strong and forced yon to retreat, leaving fifteen hundred dead and wound ed on the field. Yon who faced the storm of shot and shell at Fort Donaldson and forced Gen. Buckner to surrender with fifteen thous and prisoners. You who battled at Mal vern Hill, and Winchester, yon whose souls were tried in the two days terrible battle at Shiloh, where twenty thousand lay dead and wounded on the field. Again yon are at the second battle of Bull Run. Yon have not forgotten your retreat of the year before. You have not forgotten the dead and dying com rades you were forced to leave on that awful field. A homely saying will apply to this case: "He that fiirhta and rnns awar. May live to fight another day." And you whipped, routed, and scattered the enemy. Your comrades of the year before were avenged. You who at Vicks burg battled almost daily for three long months. And when Sheridan was twenty miles away you were battling with Early and his army at Cedar Creek. When he was ten miles away you were bravely holding yonr own, and when he was only five miles away yon were wavering, struggling, and when he came dashing down the road on that famous black, foaming ateed, your ranks were broken. And with what waving in the air he dashes along your line, yon hear the in spiring words, "Turn the other way, boys, we are going the other way." Then with bayonets fixed and a cheer that made the woods ring, you turned the other way, and turned defeat into a glorious victory. You were at Spottsylvania with Grant when he sent his famous dispatch to President Lincoln: "We will fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." Gettysburgh made the name of the American volunteer famous the world over. After the smoke of this awful battle had cleared away, over twenty thousand of dead and wounded were found on the field. Your heart beats faster when in spirit you again scale the heights at Mission Ridge and rout the enemy from every point, and with that grand man, Gen. Sherman at yonr head, you start on that famous' march "from Atlanta to the eea," your march home ward. A few months more and you return home crowned with victory, after five years of a most bitter struggle, a hero in the hands of your friends. But you have a duty to perform, a sacred duty that you promised to your dying comrade. You Tint he home of mourning. You lost playmate, a schoolmate, a comrade. They lost a son, a brother, who at the first call for volunteers went forth to fight for that flag, fou faced the enemy's guns in every battle. You fought the eneoy,-an to man, and your hero ism in every battle in which you fought was never questioned, but to deliver the last message of your dead comrade to that broken-hearted mother and sister was more than you could do. You could not find words, but your heart went out in sympathy, and you wept with them in their sorrow. a And in conclusion, Mr. Chairman, I will say in behalf of the city of Colum bus and in the presence of our distin guished guests, his excellency Governor Poynter, commander of the Grand Army Evans, and in the presence of your wives and children, that we accept this sacred gift, and we will consider it a most sacred duty to guard and protect it at all times and under all circumstances. And, pointing as it does, heavenward, may it stand, and may the honored names in scribed thereon shine brighter and brighter through sunshine and storm for centuries to be.

It has twelve sheets, one for each month of the year. On each sheet is a striking illustration of some feature of the Burlington's service or of the terri tory reached by its lines the govern ment fast mail running at fnll speed; a tourist car on its way to California; engine 1591, the largest passenger engine in the world; n library car; a compart ment sleeper; the Burlington station at Omaha; a dining car; a monster freight train; Estes Park, Colo.; the plunge bath at Hot Springs, S. D., Yellowstone Falls, etc. The drawings from which the pictures were made are by Louis Brannhold, of Chicago,and cost several hundred dollars. The size of the calendar is 22x28. The dates are in big type which can be read at a distance of 50 feet. For busi ness offices the Burlington calendar is simply invaluable. Purchased in large quantities, the cal endars cost the Burlington Route 27 cents apiece. With postage, packing, etc., they represent an investment of about 35 cents. Our price is 25 cents 10 cents less than cost. Write for one; stamps will do. If it is not satisfactory, send it back and your money will be promptly refunded. J.
