Japan wants a foothold in China oppo site the island of Formosa. Gborqe Maxwell, a former resident of Fremont, died recently at Golden, Colorado. No date has been fixed for the publi cation of Admiral Dewey's proposed political statement. It is said that 100,000 barrels of Amer ican apples were sold lately in Liverpool, England, in a single week. The British North America and West Indies squadron is to be increased by a battleship, two cruisers and several tor pedo boats. Gloom is again beginning to pervade England over the situation with the Boers, the latter showing great activity in harassing the British. The fear of a great war in Europe is ' amid to be one cause of the great increase of immigration to America, which for the past year has been immense. Last year the American people ate 2,000,000 tons of sugar. Of this the American Sagar Refining Co, otherwise known as the trust, made 1,385,000 tons. If Bryan cannot beat McKinley, no aaa caa. That waa said before, when the two aaen contested. The Jotjxkax will not consume any time trying to coafato it The fact that more large cities have gone republican this spring than ever before in the beginning of a presidential jew, is a pretty sure indication of what the result will be next November. Advices from 8ydney, Australia, say that rata have spread the bubonic plague there, and that a war on rodents j in progreai. The plague is now in the New Hebrides, four deaths having occurred. There has not been an execution in the navy since 1849, and it is a striking fact that of the numerous soldiers sen tenced to death for military offenses daring tbe war with Spain, not one was execnted.

The senate bill was pnt through the house after Mr. Mercer had made a strong plea for its passage. Mr. Stark, in whose district the lands are situated, was content to stand back and listen to Mercer. The settlers paid anexborbitant price for the land at the sale several years ago, and this bill in effect remits or cancels the excess. It is rumored that the Omaha arrange ment whereby Rosewater and Webster have divided up the loaves and fishes, is not satisfactory to Senator Thurston and his friends, and that they may offer some -opposition to the arrangement at the state convention. They say it may finally result in Mr. Rosewater and Mr. Webster being both left out in the cold. The bill for the relief of Mrs. Stotsen berg has been recommended for passage by the house committee, the pension allowed being at the rate of $40 per month. A bill for the erection of a public building'at Grand Island has been added to the list of measures in congress that may turn out to be a collection of air castles. The democrats who are weeping such scalding tears over the Porto Ricans are still advocating the disfranchisement of the colored people in the south, and the Nebraska fusion members stand ready to support anything the democratic caucus decrees. F. A. Habbisox. In the Third congressional district there is strong talk among republicans of nominating Major J. N. Kilian for congress. The major is probably the only man mentioned who would stand a fair fighting chance of beating the pres ent fusion incumbent. When congress declared war against Spain, Captain Kilian, then editor of the German Biene of Columbus, dropped his goose quill and grabbed a sword; and he didn't let go until the gallant First Nebraska had been many times baptised in blood, and was ordered home by the secretary of war. In the mean time be had been promoted for meritons conduct on the field, and tbe title of major he will proud ly carry to his grave as an unsolicited reward of merit from the great country of which he is an adopted son. The major has a thorough education, and would be certain to carry a great part of the German vote of the district without regard to politics. Lincoln Journal. From Austin, Texas, under date of Sunday come harrowing accounts of dis aster by flood a raging river one mile wide and swollen far beyond its natural banks. Between thirty and forty lives have been lost, besides property beyond estimate. Heavy rain had continued from Wednesday night to Sunday, the downfall averaging six inches in an hour. The river at Austin bad risen forty feet within ten hours. The breaking of the dam shortly after 11 o'clock caused wild excitement in the city. Over one hun dred homes are known to have !een swept away; one village of tenters was obliterated. Losses are noted at San Antonio, Waco and other points in Texas. A goodly number of people have been inclined to blame Dewey's desire for the presidency on Mrs. Dewey, but it is said that she insists this is not just. Mr. Dewey has the same right to bo a can didate as any other American citizen, but he has been used to a very different kind of work than practical political maneuvering, and the outlook is against him. Perhaps, if he could secure his election to the democratic convention as a delegate, and, at an opportune time in the proceedings, make a speech that would lift the convention off its feet, he might duplicate the Bryan feat of four years ago, but this is not at all probable. A Denver telegram under date of the 5th said: Snow has been falling all over the state of Colorado for the past twenty four hours. The warm weather makes the snow so soft that it clings to trees and electric wires, breaking them down. Much trouble has been experienced in this city. Telephone, light and trolley wires are down in various parts of the city, many telegraph and long-distance telephone lines have been disabled. The street cars are stopped in many lines in this city. Thirtt-seven incurable patients were taken from the Norfolk asylum Saturday to the Chronic Insane asylum at Hast ings. Of this number thirty-two were men and five women. This swells the number at Hastings to 700 and caused the superintendent to open a ward in the new wing of the hospital. Tbe Norfolk asylum will now be beseiged by many counties demanding admission of patients held in confinement awaiting room at Norfolk. Madison Chronicle. APaTTBaT. Dewet'b trophies from the Philippines are estimated worth $100,000 and he has decided to place them in the Hall of History of tbe Smithsonian In stitution. Admiral Dewey will have tbe distinction of being tbe only living American to whom a historical case in the National museum has been assigned. It will be on exhibit for not leas than two years, with a likelihood of being removed. never South American journals declare that emissaries of tbe United States are buy ing up large tracts of lands in Bracil, Peru and Chili, for the purpose of get ting a hand in local political questions, with the ultimate view of annexation. Friday last, Frank G. Simmons effect ed a full settlement of his shortage as postmaster of Seward. The bondsmen were not called upon for what they were liable. Some of his friends were inter ested in squaring the account Tins story of Lapido, who attempted Wednesday last at Brussels to assassi nate the Prince of Walea, is regarded as an endeavor to shield his instigators.

It is a flag pole, composed of part of masts from Tthe Don Joan de Austria and the Almirante Oquendo, and the flag he hoisted on the Maria Teresa when she was floated. Gov. Johnston has accepted the gift, and it will be erected on the capital grounds. W. A.

The third and last of the series of con certs .-is to be given Friday evening, April 20, at tbe opera house, beginning at 8:15. This will probably be the best of the series, so far as tbe mnsic is concerned, for several reasons, mainly that they have the advantage of experience before the public and mora time for practice. All can look forward to a rare treat so far as tbe music is concerned, which is of course the main thing at a concert. However, a jewel to be fully appre ciated, should have a fair setting, and, for the first time in public, the band will appear in their handsome new uni forms for which they are gratefully in debted to the generosity of Columbus patrons. It has been intimated that sometime, in the near future, the band may con clude to entertain their friends in some of the nearby towns. If so, they can ex pect a hearty reception. Following is the program: 1. March Casey on Parade. Blanilford Band. 2. Trolley Polka Sutton Band. 3. Serenade The Old Church Or gan Chamber Band. 4. Trombone Solo Selection Rubicon Martin Schilz. 5.

The farmers, encouraged by the good prices of pork, are trying to raise a good number of pigs this spring. John Curry is straightening up his house and building a new kitchen on the north; his place is the one formerly be longing to Dan. Sheedy. Winter wheat will be cut and harvest ed except patches where the ground was too dry and lumpy for tbe seed to grow last fall, and in the latter case we would advise planting to corn, using a good liBter and planting from the 15th to 20th of May it will be a pleasure to raise corn there. At Home Farm during last week, there was marketed from 4 milch cows, 37 pounds of butter, besides the family's consumption, and about 16 gallons of sweet skim milk per day, and half as much buttermilk for pigs and calves, and as butter is a good price it makes a good showing for bossy. Farmers' wives, hereabouts, are getting in earnest about raising chickens for profit We believe one is safe to say there will be 100 chickens raised and marketed this year, while 25 would be a good average heretofore. Beally, Colum bus consumers are situated so they can live on the best and healthiest. ww faaajvJsRvSBk saaaBayaaajm a Review of the weather near Genoa for the month of March, 1900.

If the sponge as brought up fresh from the sea liottom were a familiar object, says Dr. Ledekker, few would be In doubt as to its being an animal. When fresh, it is a fleshy looking sub stance covered with a firm skin, and if cut it presents somewhat the ap pearance of raw meat. Its cavities are filled with a gelatinous substance call ed "milk."
