The bill for tbe relief of tbe settlers on
the Otoe reservation in Gage county has
at last passed congress. 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

finally result in Mr. Rosewater and Mr.
Webster being both left out in the cold.

The democrats who are weeping such

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

men and five women. This swells the
number at Hastings to 700 and caused

new wing of the hospital. Tbe Norfolk
asylum will now be beseiged by many
counties demanding admission of
patients held in confinement awaiting

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.

Small grain nearly all in.
The indications are now that there

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.

result produced by them upon the
health of travelers. The rush to the

perchance be punctual; the weary wait

these, we are told, add seriously to tbe

The Spanish royal standard Is most
ipllcated. The red and yellow of
the 8panlsh flag Is said to be derived
from this occurrence: In 1378 Charles
the Bold dipped his fingers In the blood
of Geoffrey, count of Barcelona, and
drew them dowa the count's golden
shield hi token of his appreciation of
the hitter's bravery. Tbe shield, se
marked, became the arms of Barce
loaa, which became part of Aragon,
and Its ansa were taken by that king
dom. Now te tbe royal standard: In the
first quarter or upper left hand part of
the flag are the arms of I.eon aad Caa
tile, the lion aad the castlo: the second
quarter Is taken up. one-half by the
arms of Aragon. one-half by the arms
of Sicily. Tbe upper third of the quar
ter (directly under the first) show the
Austrian colors, the lower two-third
Is divided between the flag of HttP
gundy and the black lion of Plautier:
the upper third of the fourth quarter
shows the checkers, another Uurgtiti
dlan device, while the lower two-thirds
Is shared by the red entfle or Antwerp
and the golden lloti of Brabant, and on

A Camden lawyer put up a bluff suc
cessfully not long ago. A client came
to him and explained that a young
man had bought a watch from blm on
the Installment plan. He made one pay
ment gave the watch to a young lady
and skipped out. The client wanted to
know If he could recover the watch
from the young lady. The lawyer said
that he could not without spending
more money than the watch was
worth,, except the young woman could
be bluffed. The client said a bluff
would be paid for if successful, and
the lawyer posted the following letter:
"Dear Madam The watch recently
presented to you by Mr. Blank was ob
tained surreptitiously from the estab
lishment of my client, and unless it Is
returned by next Tuesday morning 1
will be obliged to, very reluctantly, dis
patch a judicial functionary to your
residence with process."
The watch was delivered the follow
ing morning and the'lawyer received a
fine gold chain for writing the letter.

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." American sponges, and
those of all other parts of the world,
are .inferior to the sponges of the east
ern shores of the Mediterranean. The
finest of all sponges is the Turkey toi
let sponge, which is cup shaped. The
American sponge most nearly ap
proaching it in quality is the West In

Encyclopaedia Britannica is the one
absolutely reliable guide for the
