Kino Humbert of Italy was assassina ted at Monza, Italy, Sunday at 10:45 p.m by a man named Bread de Prato, an an archist, and died in a few minutes. The Swiss airship which was success fully operated for a little while over Lake Constance is 407 feet long and 39 feet in diameter with seventeen separate compartments filled with hydrogen gas. It sailed a total distance of ten miles. The fastest time made was five miles in 17 minutes. The ship weighs 22,000 pounds and cost over $200,000. Gekonixo, who for 14 years has been a prisoner of war, ten at Fort Sill, O. T., has gone stark mad. For almost halt a centary he led the bloodthirsty Apaches on the warpath, beginning his lead at the age of sixteen, crowned as chief after a saccessful battle. He was cap tured in 1886, after a four years chase by Miles and Lawton. Tn Platte Co. Democrat of July 26 ays: "It (meaning the republican party) has voted over $50,000,000 per annum to pensioners, a half of whom are impos- tara." The sin of exaggeration is not always harmless in its effects, bat we woald offer a suggestion, which we hope Col. Daffy will take kindly, and that is that the next time he refers to this utter, he reduce the fraction from one half to something closer to the' mark. Tan work of moving the big printing press plant of the Ladies Home Journal has began, and within a month tbeman afactaring part of the magazine will be in its new home. There will be forty five printing presses in the new aeven atory building, and 17,000 square feet of Moor apace. The execative ofitoos will all remain ia the present large baild 'iag which .covers foar city lota. The atke plant is now the largest of any publishing house in America. Ih the rioting 'of Thursday night at New Orleans, the mobs were composed alaftost entirely of boys under 21 years of age acting on a common impulse against negroes in general. One negro was beaten to death, six so badly woun ded that their lives are despaired of, and about a score of people more or leas aarioaaly hurt. In a long time such cruel, heartless and apparently sensoless murders have not been known even ia New Orleans. And yet, "all men are created free and equal and are endowed with certain inalienable rights, etc." Uaiferlaja.

There is the abundant air to begin with, and the numberless methods of coavertiag the raw material into pleasing melodies, songs, choruses, marches and what-nots. Of all these methods, the band of our time, accord ing to ability of individual members, with conscientious and thorough leader ship, is regarded as one of the very best interpreters to the public, of the master-pieces of musical composition. There is individuality of expression, with var iety and fullness, so that when there ia wanted the "chime of the evening bells;'' the tramp, tramp, tramp of the soldier to the battle-field; the clarion tones of the trumpet to the charge; the all-embracing anthem of praise and thanks giving, voicing a nation's warm grati tude to the Almighty Giver of all good gifts, the thoroughly-equipped band is sufficient for the occasion. Neither is it lacking when there is to be a dash of fun and frolic. The services of the Columbus City Band are likely to be called format the Grand Island street fair, and theee words will apply, to them, and we here wish also to say a good word for the Hagenow Band to the good friends at Fremont for their street fair. We per sonally know several members of that band, talented musicians, and the ag gregation of thirty-six makes a first-class band, occupying the position in this part of the United States that Sousa's does for the Union. By the way, we notice that at the national convention at Kansas City recently, W. F. Beckett, formerly of Genoa and a well-known musician, was with the Hagenow band in their excellent service on that occa sion, where their work was highly praised. Last year at Kansas City Hagenow's band were at the Modern Woodmen meeting, and won the first prize in a contest open to all, and their work is such' that we feel a lively inter est in seeing them capture all the large prizes in this region, and we are very sure that if Fremont should secure Hagenow's band they will make no mis take. A number of Columbus citizens will doubtless attend the fair if Hage now is there, and there are doubtless others. Stand up for Nebraska. Fatting af Serghuu. A bulletin from the Nebraska Experi ment Station at Lincoln says "it seems reasonable to conclude that no danger ia to be encountered in pasturing sor ghum of healthy growth in eastern Ne braska.'' The records show no cases of sudden death from sorghum occurring in the eastern portion of Nebraska, with the exception of a few on second-growth sorghum. There is also reason to be lieve that plants producing this disas trous effect have not made a healthy growth, and are yellow and wilted, a condition easily detected. T. L. Lyon goes on further to say: "Again it would appear that no danger is incurred if the sorghum is fed after cutting and allowing to lie for some time. A sample of sorghum was re cently received by the Station with a letter accompanying it stating that the plants were parts of a very few partially eaten by a cow which was killed by them in two minutes. The sample was fed to a cow on the Station farm without in juring her in the least. This together with the fact that no poison has been detected in samples sent to the Station for analysis would indicate that any toxic substances which the plants might have contained have become dissipated after cutting. The length of time re quired for this is not known, but it is certainly accomplished in a few daya As sorghum is undoubtedly the beet annual midsummer forage crop for this region, it is important that its limita tions be well defined. The use of healthy sorghum for pasturage with the ordinary precautions in eastern Ne braska, and of sorghum hay, may be considered safe." Xaal Istata Tnuufsrs.

Oregon show that the Republican pluralities in' this month's elections In that state were larger that at first reported. - The Re publican candidate for governor had a plurality of more than 10,000, almost exactly the same as it was In 1898. For congressmen the combined plural ity of the two Republican candidates was about 11.500, or 2,800 more than the plurality given to the same candi date In 1808 and fully 10,000 larger than the straight Republican plurality on congressmen In 1896. It should be remembered also that in 189C there was no fusion of the opposition vote, Whereas this year all the parties op posed to the Republicans formed as complete a fusion as was ever made. Besides this, Mr. Bryan bad made a tour of Oregon a few weeks before the election. Price off Cattle. The average price of cattle on the farm was $16.63 per head on Jan. 1. 1807, Just before President McKinley was Inaugurated. At the beginning of this year cattle were worth $25 pa bead on the farm.

'Speaking to' the National Leagae of Republican' clubs in session at St. Paul, Governor Roosevelt gave utterance to some things which in a large degree show the true character of the man. He said: "A politician who isn't hon est, no matter how able or smart he is, is a curse -to the community. Don't let any man delude yon by trying to convince yon that he can help yon by being a little dishonest on yoar side. He will desert you when the crisis comes. "I have tret here today a few men from my old stamping grounds in the Dakotas and Montana, where I used to be a delegate to the cattle conventions. There are a few of my fellow delegates here tonight. I was then in the cow business myself: Out there the cow puncher and the branding iron took the place of the fence. We used to brand the calves every year, and if a cab? was passed over it became a maverick. It was the rule in those days that a mav erick when found might be branded with the brand of the ranch on which it was found. "And one day I was riding over the ranch with a cow puncher and we came across a maverick. It was on the Thistle brand ranch. The cow puncher roped and tied the maverick and we got off to put a brand on itr. I remem ber that I took off the cinch iron to help put on the brand. And I said to the cow puncher: 'Remember, it is the Thistle brand.' He grinned and said he knew his business. But I saw he was putting on my brand. 'Hold on there,' I said, 'you are putting on my brand.' 'I always put on my boss' brand,' h3 replied. I said to him: 'You can go to the ranch and get your time. If you will steal for me, you will steal from me.' "And that applies in politics as well as in the cow business. You have got to have honesty first, and you have got to have courage with it. I have mighty little use for the honest, timid man, the man who takes out his honesty in his own parlor, bnt who can't trust himself with it out in the world to do his work among his fellows. He may be very nice and pleasant, but he is no use. "But no matter how honest and brave a man may be, if he is a natural born fool you can't do anything with him. He must have the Savlae Grace of Caamoi Be; Honesty, courage and common sense are needed in public life just as they are needed in private life. And it is be cause I believe that associations like this club, associations like this league, make for the elementary decencies of political life that I take such pleasure in addressing you tonight. "I do not address yon as a Repub lican addressing Republicans, but as an American addressing his fellow Ameri cans, urging them to stand for honesty and the honor of the flag. We have come here to begin the work of a cam paign more vital to American interests than any that has taken place since the close of the civil war. We appeal not only to Republicans, but to all good citizens that are Americans in fact as well as in name, to help us in re-electing President McKinley. It was indeed of infinite importance to elect him four years ago. Yet the need is even greater now. Every reason which then obtained in his favor obtains now, and many more have been added. Four years ago the success of the Populistic Democracy would have meant fearful misery, fearful disaster at home; it would have meant the shame that is worse even than misery and disaster. Today it would mean all this, and in addition the immeasurable disgrace of abandoning the proud position we have taken, of flinching from the great work we have begun. "We ask support for President Mc Kinley because of what he has actually done, of what he now stands for and typifies, and because of the marvelous work that has been accomplished under his administration. We ask the sap port of all upright citizens because against him are arrayed The Fereea ef Chaotic Kvllt because of the brooding menace to our moral and industrial welfare which is implied in the present attitude and pur pose of the Populistic-Democracy. "We know definitely what we be lieve and we say it outright. "Our opponents, who represent all the forces of discontent, malice and envy, formed and formless, vague and concrete, can-hardly be said to know what they really do believe, because the principles they profess, if put forth nakedly, are so revolting, even to their own followers, that they liko at least to try to wrap the mantle of hypocrisy around them. They rant about trusts, but they have nothing practical to ad vance in the way of remedy. "Nor is this to be wondered at, when one of the makers of their platform, the representative from New York, and the leader of that organization in New York, are-both themselves among the most prominent stockholders in the worst trust to be found today in the United States the ice trust, which has justly exposed itself to the criticiam which our opponents often unjustly ap ply to every form of industrial effort. "We now come to the Philippines aad to the general question of exaaatioa. Many of the positions taken (by the Populistic-Democracy at the moment are so palpably dishonest an4-main tained in such palpable bad faith that to state them is sufficient. It is hardly necessary to discuss what they aay about "the constitution following the flag." The Democratic party never championed the doctrine thus set forth save in the dark day, whan it aa4 be come the HaaaaaaMea ef Slavery and rebellion, and danced to any tuna which the apostles of slavery chose to pipe. When, under Jefferson, the great West beyond the Mississippi was ac quired, when, largely through the in strumentality of Jackson, Florida was added to the Union, the new provinces, with their Indian populations, were govanKd precisely and exactly on the tlMOsyaneter which the Philippines are aw governed, rreatdeat Jeff BmJaUm. President McKinley secured the Philip pines and Andrew Jackson warred against, the Seminoles when we had acqaired'lloriaa from Spain, precisely aa General MaoArthur is now warring against the bandits among the Tagals iaLason. Unless we are willing to de prive Jefferson and Jacksbn of the aaeed of honor which has been held to he peculiarly theirs, we cannot deny the sejM high praise to President Mc Kinley. At Kansas City, the men en gaged in preaching the gospel of dis honor and repudiation solemnly assert ed that imperialism abroad will lead quickly aad inevitably to despotism at home.' Yon men of Minnesota and the Dakotas who are here this evening can appreciate the fatuousness of that state ment by the simple process of thinking whether your liberties have been abridged by the return of the Minne sota and Dakota troops who won such honor for themselves in the Philippines. There are geometrical propositions so essentially absurd that mathematicians hold their mere statement tobe-equiv-alent to their refutation. So it is with this proposition. If it were worth while I would point out its dishonesty and insincerity. But flagrant though these are, its absurdity is so much more flagrant that nothing need be said. "So it is witlr their cant about mili tarism and -'intimidation and oppres sion at home' as following what they are pleased to call 'conquest abroad.' We cannot argue with them on this proposition, because no serious man thinks for one moment that they be lieve what they assert. During the great civil jrar there were many preachers of the gospel of disloyalty among the so called copperheads of the, north, and these meu, like their representatives among our opponents today, prophesied the suhdivisiou of the country when the great armies of Grant and Sherman should come back from the war; but the great armies of Grant and Sherman re turned to civil life and were swallowed up among their fellow citizens without a ripple. A considerable army was kept for a year or two on the Iudian frontier and in some of the southern states, but it never entered the head of a human being to attempt what The Copperhead Propheta of disaster had frantically foretold. In '96 and '90 you yourselves' saw regi ments and brigades and divisions re turn from Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, to be disbanded and swal lowed up ia the mass of the people, if volunteers, and if regulars to assume their ordinary work in fort and canton ment, and after greeting them on the day they returned the bulk of the peo ple would never have been able to tell, except by the newspapers, whether they had come back or not. "Of all idle chatter the talk of the danger of militarism is the idlest. The army we have now is, relatively to the population of the country, less in size than it has been again and again during the last century and a quarter, in times when we had only onr own Indians to guard against. In Washington's admin istration Gen. Wayne spent some three years in Ohio warring against the Tagals of that day, with an army under him larger in proportion to the then population of the nation than all our present national forces, regulars and volunteers combined, and there is just as little danger from the evils of mili tarism now as there was then. It is as utter folly to talk of our liberties as menaced by the existence of a force capable of keeping order in our outly ing possessions as it would have been to talk of their being menaced in the seventies by the soldiers who followed Ouster and his fellows against Co manche, Apache and Sioux. "I would ask those who by their words have encouraged the warfare of the Filipinos against us to recall the letter of General Lawton, written jut before his death, in which he pointed out that the blood of his soldiers red dened the hands of the men at home who encouraged Oar Voce Ahread. "Some years ago when certain east-' erners were clamoring in the name of humanity against the army officers who warred to protect the western settlers from the Indians, General Sheridan wrote: 'I do not know how far these humanitarians should be excused on account of their ignorance, but surely it is the only excuse that can give a shadow of justification for aiding and abetting such horrid crimes.' "The scheming politicians at Kansas City have not even the excuse of ignor ance when they incite the insurgents to fresh warfare against our soldiers with the base hope that thereby they may further their own political advance ment." Simkox. An Ideal Climate. The first white man to set foot on Utah soil, Father Sil ventre Velez de Escalante, . who reached tho GREAT SALT LAKE on the 23d day of Sept., 1776, wrote in his diary: "Here the cli mate is so delicious, the air so balmy, that it is a pleasure to breathe by day and by night." The climate of Utah is r one of the richest endowments of nature. On the shores of the Great Salt Lake especially and for fifty miles therefrom in every direction the climate of cli mates is found. To enable persons to participate in these scenic and climatic attractions and to reach the famous HEALTH, BATHING and PLEASURE RESORTS of Utah, the Union Pacific has mado a rate to OGDEN and SALT LAKE CITY of one fare for the round trip, plus $2.00, from Missouri River, to be in effect June 21st, July 7th to 10th inclusiver July 18th and Aug. 2d.
