An exceptionally strong state ticket is needed by republicans this year, to place Nebraska in line with tbe progress of tbe country. M. S. Quay was refused a seat in the United States senate on the appoint ment of the governor of Pennsylvania, on a vote of 33 to 32. The Dowling & Purcell elevator near the depot at North Bend burned to tbe ground Thursday afternoon. Loss near ly $6,000, well insured. TniBTT-FouB state legislatures hnve asked congress to submit a proposition to amend the constitution allowing a direct vote by the people for United States senator. Judge Moses P. Kinkaid of O'Neill was nominated bj the republicans of the Sixth district, as their candidate for con gressional honors. The nomination was made by acclamation. Tuesday afternoon of last week a funnel cloud- barely missed Beatrice. At Barneston and Wymote, people went to their caves or cellars. At points tbe earth was torn up a foot deep. "Dick," a vicious elephant belonging to the Sells & Forepaugh circus, was strangled to death in Madison Square garden Sunday in a futile attempt to subdue his beligerent disposition. Look into The JouknaiA? bordered box at the top of the editorial page. If you belong among the opposition to whatever is done by republicans, don't stumble over the name in the box, but . rather inquire, Is what he says a fact? Senator Daniel of Virginia, when asked the other day if the Kansas City convention would reiterate the platform of 1896, said: "I hope the democratic party will have the courage to make a platform at Kaaaas City for the year MOO." The Ruatber of persona affected by the faaaiae in India is estimated at 61, SOrOOQ. The distrws will be greater than that of 1897, affecting all northern aa well as western and central India. The goTemmeot is relieving 5,000,000 persona, and the worst has not yet come. Among tbe latest propositions is a wheat trust by the farmere.

The balance of net trade in favor of the United States during the last century preceding this administration amounted to $311,000,000. In 100 years that was the net balance to the credit of the United States in our trade with the world. In three years of the administration of President William McKinley the net balance as shown by the books of the United States treasury is $1,400,000,000. It is $1,100,000,000 more accomplished in those three years than had been accomplished in 100 years preceding. Senator Hanna. Cum far Congratulation. While it is never worth while to be boastful, it is a cause for congratulation that this country has gold to lend in stead of being compelled to borrow. The borrower is always to some degree the servant of the lender, and the country with a full purse is able to have its way in a good many things besides securing money to make both ends meet. Phila delphia Times. Finsen, the Danish scientist, invented a process for destroying gorms and thereby curing certain diseases by means of light rays. This process is called phototherapy. An apparatus has been constructed and used by Dr. George Hopkins, a Brooklyn physician, which has attracted wide attention, especially among cancer specialists. A telescopic tube directs a very powerful ray of light upon the patient 22,000 candle power; quartz lenses are used to decompose the light, the heat rays being eliminated and the actinic rays, blue, violet and ultra violet, being passed on along the tube, and these are rays which, directed upon the diseased part, act as germ de stroyers, but have no effect upon sound flesh. The lengthy account before us gives particulars of the treatment of three cases, the remarkable thing in all being that the eradication of the can cerous growth was entirely without pain or soreness; the bad flesh was seemingly absorbed or dissipated without injury to the patient, the good taking its place. Finsen says that smallpox, scarlet fever and other germ diseases can be cured by phototheraphy. Dr. Hopkins has treat ed lupus vulgaris only, as yet David H. Mercer, who is serving his fourth term in congress, has been nomi nated for a fifth. Those who knowDavid will not be at all surprised should he again succeed in being elected. Most congressmen are too bookish, giving too much time to their own ambitions, in stead of devoting themselves to tbe gen eral welfare of the United States, and the particular welfare of their district But Mr. Mercer is different, and the people of the Second Congressional dis trict appreciate the situation. Dave has evidently adopted Lincoln's famous triad concerning the United States govern ment, and being himself "of the people," he aims in his work as tho people's agent, to have it as "by tho people," and the result naturally follows that it will be "for the people." A. Castettek, the pioneer banker of Washington county, died at his resi dence in Blair, April 23. Ho was born in Ohio, Feb. 13, 1831, one of a family of eight children. He located in Nebraska in 1857, was county clerk several terms under the Territorial government, and Mrs. Castetter acted as his deputy. In the spring of '69, he went into the bank ing business at Blair. It is said that the bank stock is all owned by his fam ily. Ho was very methodical in his business, and all departments of his bank worked like clock work, plainly showing the master mind nt the head. While very firm in business matters, he was kind, courteous and just to his cus tomers. A brave, brainy little man, he did great good in the world. Compiled from Blair Pilot About the best explanation of Dewey's candidacy is that the minority element of the democratic party (that is, those who approve of President McKinley's conduct of the war, with those who are opposed .to the "free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without reference, etxV and also those who are against Bryan on any issue) have put Dewey forward in a hope to prevent Bryan's nomination, and a, to them, less objec tionable man. We do not believe they will succeed, but one good thing may result from their honest effort, it may be a demonstration to the doubtful that the country does not mean to elect Bryan to the presidency, and thus tend to make the assurance of McKinley's election doubly sure. The four free silver republicans still loyal to Bryan in this state will make an effort to persuade the democrats and populists to unite with them in the nomination of Charley Wooster for gov ernor. If Wooster is nominated, we solemnly pledge the good people of Ne braska not to say one word against him during thd campaign. Mark Antony waited until Brutus was dead before eu logizing him, but we hasten to say of the enemy right now that Wooster is the noblest Roman of them all, and they don't dare deny it Lincoln Journal. There were 903 postoffices in 1800; to-day we have 75,000 that is, in Amer ica alone. It took a letter sixteen days to go from Philadelphia to Lexington, Kentucky; twenty-two days to Nash ville, Tennessee. The cheapest letter postage was eight cents, and to send a letter more than a hundred miles cost a shilling. Three million letters and papers were then sent in a year; at the present time the postofftce handles about 30,000,000 pieces of mail in a sin gle day. May Ladies' Home Journal. Ed BvaiiAND was gored by a bull last Monday. The bull cornered Ed and made a lunge at him. Ed kicked at the animal to turn him away, when the bull's horn penetrated the foot at the instep, clean through the shoe and all.

Columbus had just one week to pre pare for tho greatest political gathering then known in the history of tbe state. The rattlesnakes got fewer John Welch living on Shell creek had a colt which was bit in the chin by a rattle snake. Jim Strahn, the oldest engineer on the A. & N., was transferred to the northern division between Lincoln and Columbus. David Redpath of Marengo, 111., made a business visit to Nebraska, having land in Polk county. We believe he still owns the same land. A man was indicted for hog stealing in Appling county, Georgia; he after wards shot and killed one of the grand jurors who found the bill. Died, May 1, of pneumonia, Wm. M.

Distress has been so great that hundreds of families have pawned or sold their clothing and household effects to obtain food. Every artesian well bored in the Ale grian desert became a nucleus of settle ment, proportioned to the supply of water. Several nomadio tribes had planted palm trees near by, turning the desert vicinity into an oasis. Patents to lands in Platte county were announced as ready at the land offfee at Grand Island.

Those of aa who have aaaa Long Joaa Wentworth and know something of his character, can appreciate the following said by him when he was mayor of Chi cago: "Some folks say I ain't honest; they say I steal.

Nance for the senate as against Senator Paddock, whose fast political friend Mr. Nance professed to be, The Journal took occasion to remark: "The game. of politics, or rather the contest for'office, is sometimes played a little finer than there is any necessity for, es pecially when the situation is very del icate."

J This paragraph, which we give in foil as it appeared in the issue of May 12, 1880: "The Sisters' Hospital is to be a grander institution for Columbus than our citizens generally are aware of. Its benefits will, of course, not be fully ap preciated until after it shall have been put into working order and the recip ients of its good works shall have made known its good deeds. 'Charity is kind.' We speak a good word for the institu tion in view of the fact that our citizens may soon have the privilege of contribu ting toward its support." To Chicago and the East. Passengers going east for business, will naturally gravitate to Chicago as the groat commercial center. Passengers re-visiting friends or relatives in the eastern states always desire to "take in" Chicago en route. All clashes of passen gers will find that the "Short Line" of the Chicago, Milwaukee k St Paul Rail way, via Omaha and Council 31uffs, affords excellent facilities to reach their destinations in a manner that will be sure to give the utmost satisfaction. A reference to the time tables will in dicate the route to be chosen, and by asking any principal agent west of the Missouri river for a ticket over the Chicago, Council Bluffs k Omaha Short Line of the Chicago, Milwaukee k St Paul Railway, you will be cheerfully furnished with the proper passport via Omaha and Chicago. Please note that all of the "Short Line" trains arrive in Chicago in ample time to connect with the express trains of all the great through car lines to the principal eastern cities.

The From aad the Jadice. 1 had been living alongside of Sil ver lake for 15 years," said the judge, "before I concluded to go fishiug. I suppose I had seen five carloads of fish taken out of the lake during those years, and so I anticipated a great catch when I got around to it One day I got out hook and line and set off in my boat. It was right after din ner, and 1 let the boat go drifting. The hook was baited with a frog for bass, and I distinctly remember of giving frog and hook a whirl and a cast Then of course I waited for a bite." "And you got one?" queried the man wltht the new patent reel. "I can't say that I did," replied the Judge. "No, I have never been able to satisfy myself that I did." "But what did you do?' "Just floated around for five hours. I think I was busy most of the time preparing a case to come off the next week, but had a bass taken bold of that frog I must have felt it" "But didn't you pull In your line at all?" "I don't think so. If I did, it escap ed my memory. Should I have done so?" "Why, of course." "For what reason?" "To see If the frog was on tbe hook all right" "Oh! There was no reason then," smiled the judge. "It seems that as soon as I cast him overboard he swam back and climbed into the boat, and at -the end of five hours he came hop ping over to me, as If to ask If I hadn't had all the fun I wanted. 1 decided that I had, and I unbooked him with apologies and rowed home." Chicago News. Bewaeed the Bill of Fare. Stories of the generosity of Judge Poland of Vermont are constantly com ing to light One of the prettiest is about an old farmer, whom the judge Invited to dine with him one day at the hotel in Lyndon, Vt The old man's shabby garments and uncouth manners did not prevent his host from being heartily glad to see him, and he was ushered Into the din ing room with all the deference that could have been shown the judge's most distinguished friend. It waa the farmer's first experience at a hotel, and when the waiter laid tbe menu card before him he asked quickly, "What s taatr "The biU of fare, sir." replied the waiter. "Take It away!" said the old man, with a look of triumph on his brown face. "Judge Poland Isn't the sort that Invites folks and then lets 'em pay their own bills. I've known him, boy and man, young feller! Perhaps yon didn't know I'm a-vis'ting Judge Po land today." The waiter bowed with the aspect of a graven image, but the judge and his guest smiled at each other in mutual friendliness and pleasure, and then the judge proceeded to order for two. .Youth Companion.

The lord mayor's show Is an annual theme- for the newspapers. Very little can be said about it that has not been said again and again. It costs about 2,000, the banquet from 2,000 to 3, 000. The show has sunk during the century to borrowing some of its splen dors from the "property man." There by hangs a tale. A certain lord mayor hired from the Surrey theater two suits of armor, brass and steel, with a couple of su pers to go Inside them. The manager of the Surrey stipulated, by the way, that the steel armor should not be used If tbe day be a wet or a foggy one. After the show the men In armor were taken to the Guildhall, remain ing there several hours without food. No one, it appears, was able to rid them of their. Ironmongery. Wine was given them, and the man of brass became Intoxicated. The by standers, thinking If he fell about that he would Injure others aa well as him self, tried to eject him. But he show ed fight and, to add to their further dismay, his companion In arms Joined him. They were overcome at hut only by sheer weight of numbers. Then the maker of the armor was sent for. He eventually succeeded In freeing the men, who were In danger of being stifled by the weight of their equip mentGood Words. A Political Trick. "There is a good deal of pure moon shine," said a local warhorse now out of harness, "in the faculty of remem bering names and faces which Is at tributed to most successful politicians. In nine cases out of ten they have no abnormal powers of that kind, and their apparent feats of memory are very easily explained. Take, for ex ample, the case of a political person age at a public reception. He is sure to be surrounded by a group of local leaders who know everybody in town. Presently a valuable constituent ap proaches. 'Colonel,' whispers one of the henchmen, 'here comes Mr. Blank. He's an active party worker and a great admirer of yours. He met you here last fall.' "The personage catches on prompt ly. 'What does Blank dor be whis pers back. "'He's a produce merchant,' replies the henchman. By that time the val uable constituent gets in range. " 'How are you, my dear Mr. Blank?' rxclalms the notable cordially. 'I'm delighted to see you again. And how Is the produce business coming on? "Poor Blank has spasms of joy. That the famous man should remember him so accurately makes him as proud as a peacock, and 20 spectators proceed to tell the story in proof of the colonel's miraculous mental gifts. Thus reputa tions are made." New Orleans Times Democrat Tha Blahev'a Lafcel. Bishop Huntington once went down to a town in Connecticut to perform a marriage ceremony. He arrived the day before the wedding, and he left at the same time the bridal pair did, although he was driven to a different railway station. As he passed through the station, carrying his traveling bag, he was aware that he was creating a sensation, but was totally at a loss to account for It In the car he found that he was still the object of amused attention. The porter positively snick ered as he passed his seat, and finally just aa the train drew out he came up and assisted the churchman to remove his overcoat. "What Is the matter with you, my man?" asked the bishop. The porter's snicker broadened into a laugh. "Ain't you done lef the lady, sah?" he chuckled. "Eh?" exclaimed the bishop hi sur prise. Then his eye fell on the side of bis traveling bag which the porter had just turned round. There glued to it was a wide strip of white satin ribbon on which was painted In large letters: "Married .this morning." " The facetiously minded beat man had mistaken the bishop's traveling bag for that of the bridegroom, and a chuckling black porter worked late in to the night removing that ribbon. Washington Post Wkea Cal GItm Oat. The Adirondack region abounds with streams, most of which can some time be made use of as sources of power for carrying on industries, running rail roads and furnishing light and heat. Indeed, the great problem at present is not at all to find available heads of water, but to devise means of trans mitting the power with the minimum loss for long distances. It is Impossible to believe that with the success of existing plants and tbe spectacle of practically unlimited pow er going to waste on every hand, to stimulate Inventive genius, methods will not be devised before very long for overcoming this difficulty of trans mission. Whether It Is by the discovery of some new conveyor or by using a suc cession of generating plants or by a process of storing the electricity and conveying It by freight or express or however, the new power la bound hi time to come into practically universal use. If the difficulty of transmission la never wholly obvious. It may be there will be some regrouping of Industries and communities In the near vicinity of Important sources of water supply.
