Y Wednesdsy night Rail road traffic in that region was greatly impeded. Senator Davis, so says a telegram from St. Paul, Minnesota, passed a very bad night Saturday, his temperature 99, pake 116, respiration 28. A dispatch in the Chicago Record tells of a fortune of $30,000,000 having been left to the Massachusetts Crow- ells, an estate in England. Since "our last mention Congressman David H. Mercer has been added to the list of TJ. S. senatorial candidates; also Charles J. Greene, and possibly Judge Ben Baker. South Omaha saloon keepers are - endeavoring to keep their rivals within the pale of the law, and have begun mutual prosecutions for violation of the Sanday law. Dr. Gbobqe L. Miller of Omaha, who had been in a hospital at Council Bluffs for treatment, is reported as apparently as well as ever. The guardian appointed has been discharged. The Platte Center Signal (democratic), gives it as its opinion that Edward Rose water and D. E. Thompson will be the next "senators from Nebraska, and says "yoa can't head them off." Senator Dolltver of Iowa, has been lecturing down at Geneva, his themes being: "A Poor Man's Government and a Poor Boy's Country:" also The Workingman of Nazareth." One of the odd election bets paid was that of Joseph Stern, a democrat, who sat in an arm cnair on the root or a livery barn at Wymote for two hours and at intervals of five minutes yelled "Hurrah for McKinley." Last year, in the running expenses of the government there was a surplus of 180,000,000. It is thought that it will be safe to make a reduction of $30,000,000, from the stamp revenue on checks, tele grams and negotiable paper. It seems like something familiar to read about revolutions in South Ameri can countries, this special time in Co lombia, with complications by yello fever epidemics, and other incidental trimmings and revolutionary frills. The case of the state of Nebraska against the Omaha National bank, to recover $200,000 from J. H. Millard, president of the bank, is on trial at Omaha. The verdict in favor of Millard i reversed by the supreme court. The Bassian official world is said to be very anxious regarding the condition of Emperor Nicholas, stricken with typhus. Special prayers for his recov ery were offered Sunday in the churches of St. Petersburg, Moscow and Khar kow. Tests of the new 12-inch naval gun entitle the gun to rank ahead of any of the other 12-inch guns thus far made, in this country or abroad.

Sou have been associating all through this fall with the Burning Questions of the Hour and the Vital Questions of the Day, and yon hardly noticed Me the Night before election. I saw you election night trying to Make up with the returns, and to get Solid with my old friend Plurality and Net Gains, but they gave you the Glassy Stare. Toa thought the poor old Octo pus wasn't In it, didn't you, aad when I wasn't looking on you stepped Inten tionally on one of my Tentacles. "No, I won't have anything to Do with you.

It's the Best thing you can da There is nothing so much out of Place on Earth as a Paramount Issue that has No Friends." And with that the Octopus drew itself to its Fall Height, smiled Derisively, and eat down to a Warm Meal from, a Full Dinner Pail, while the Paramount Issue sneaked away Looking as if it Hated itself. Chicago Inter Ocean. The army is now composed of 65,000 regular troops and 35,000 volunteers. By July 1, 1901, it must be reduced to 27,000, if there is no further legislation upon the subject. Doubtless, no mat ter what legislation may be had at the hands of congress, the volunteers will be mustered out as their terms of en listment expire, which is the right thing to do, of course. It strikes The Joub KA that, considering all things, the thought of Senator Proctor is pretty close to what it is desirable to do, viz: reorganize the military establishment on the basis of-a minimum of 50,000; a maximum of 65,000, with authority to increase to 100,000, at the discretion of the president. The necessity for a new basis is the acknowledged needs of the service in the Philippines, General Mac Arthur's report stating that a large force would have to be maintained there for some time. General Miles is understood to be of the opinion that the regular army should now be about 100,000 men. At a cabinet meeting one day lost week President McKinley made a speech in which he very warmly commended tho members of his cabinet, saying, among other things, that if the result of the recent election was an endorsement of his administration, it was no lees an en dorsement of the men who had stood by him in the time of stress and adversity. The credit for success, he said, he laid with the heads of his various depart ments and he should shrink from enter ing upon another four years of office unless he could be assured that he would have with him a majority at least of the men who form his present official house hold. He said he knew that in asking them to remain with him there was scarcely one who could do eo without some sacrifice either of time or money, leisure or personal inclination. At the same time, he Baid, he should feel hap pier if all of them could gratify his wishes. It is all well enough for political or ganizations to continue their commit tees and keep at work right along, but they should avoid the extreme of "set ting up pins" and cut-and-dry methods of all kinds. What is needed, more than anything else we know of is that each political unit feel his own separate, in dividual importance, and thus we shall have more spontaneity in parly matters than we have had, and this is an element that is very desirable in a country where the people are sovereign. Let the light shine. Spread information in regard to pnblio matters. Keep an accurate "tab" on all occurrences of a political nature, but let every thing be with the utmost individual freedom of action. Valued leaders are all right political bosses ought to be unknown in a republic. Another humor of the occasion comes from Charles A. Towne, who announces that in his judgment it is about time to disband the silver republican organiza tion, of which he is still the national head. That is rich and racy, coming from Towne, when it is recalled that at the Kansas City convention he declared that he was ready and anxious to come ont as a democrat immediately after the close of the campaign of 1896. but was deterred from doing so by the entreaties of Mr. Bryan and other democratic leaders who thought he could do them more good by continuing the silver re publican masquerade four years longer. Mr. Towne, evidently, is getting tired of the masquerade, but he has been un masked long aga Omaha Bee. Eisewheee in today's Journal are printed particulars of a harrowing atrocity in Colorado and of the fearful punishment wreaked out upon the in human wretch supposed to have been guilty. All show that self-control and obedience to law, on the part of both individuals and communities are of the utmost importance. At a mass meeting at Denver, called to express public sen anient, Governor Thomas, while de nouncing the crime aad the method of punishment, states a general principle taat is or universal application: "No well regulated citizen can ever justify a departure from the law." Oke of the greatest strikes ever made in the famous Cripple Creek gold mining amnci ass just been uncovered in the property of the Gold Bond Consolidated Muiag Company on Gold Hill, of which Charlas N. Miller of that city is the pnaoipalowaer.

This is the largest plurality givea'a presiden tial candidate in the history of the country. It breaks President MoKin ley's record in 1896, when he had a plur ality of 596,000, and exceeds the highest previous plurality that given to Grant in 1872-by 77,000. The figures will not be received with much enthusiasm, by numerous democrats who thought they had a "sure thing" in betting that Pres ident McKinley's plurality this year would fall short of that of 1896. Sioux City Journal. Vest reliable and equally important recent statements concerning railioad intentions would make it very apparent that this ambitious and expanding town is not only to enjoy the conveniences afforded by the presence of a railroad, but is to bo the converging point for quite a number of roads reaching out in different directions. -This highly import ant information is far more valuable to this section than- ;our tons of election returns and confirms what this semi religious journal has often predicted, that the town of Cody, which in a short time will be succeeded by the city of Cody, is to be the great railroad center, of a very large, very fertile and a rapidly growing country.

From Sunday's Omaha Bee we clip the following conci rning a former citi zen of Columbus, brother of Justice Fuller. The relatives have the sincere sym pathy of Columbus friends in their be reavement: "William McPberson Fuller, 40 years of age, for more than fourteen years a traveling salesman for E. E. Bruce & Co., died November 14, after a protracted illness. The funeral will be held today from All Saints' church, after a brief ceremony at the residence, 4110 Lafay ette avenne; interment at Forest Lawn cemetery under the auspices of Covert lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. Mr. Fuller met with singular success as a traveling salesman, was popular with his patrons and business associates and was held in high esteem by his firm. He was best known perhaps in the Elk horn country and Black Hills. Last summer ne traveled ror his nealth throughout Arizona and Texas, during which time his employers continued his salary."

Headquarters at the Silver Creek State Bank, SUver Greek, Neb. tf John Sidks, Agent. - We are indebted to John Wiggins for the privilege of reading in the Jour nal and Courier of Little Falls, N. Y., the very able address of Robert MacKinnon on "The Evolution of Industry." Ha starts with the time when "mankind were in the condition our anarchistic friends are laboring to return us to today. No authority ruled in the earth and every man was a law unto himself. As in -the brute oreation force ruled, and misery and subjection were the lot of the weak. Existence was a constant strug gle, and the cattle of the farmer today are vastly better fed and housed and treated than the most favored people of that period.'' He attributes the great ohange to industrial evolution, when men began to cultivate special faculties, developing unusual skill, instead of every man doing everything for himself, Aa subdivision of labor increased, wealth also increased. More progress has been made in the nineteenth century than in all the previous ages of man's existence. He refers at large to the printing press aa probably the most important aid ia the industrial development of modern ptimes.' Guttenburgh was able to print twelve small sheets an hour or 120 in tea hours. The latest and best press will print 96,000 four, six or eight-page news papers an hour, or 7,680,000 large sheets ia ten honrs. The great press discharges the papers in four places at once. Other inventions contributing to the oomfort of mankind upon the earth are; the steam engine; the spinning jenny; the wonderful steam vessels of th dava m. i the marvelous advance in agricultural machinery; the unfolding, almost incred ible things electrical. Indastry is the handmaid of all that ennobles and en riches life, the foundation upon which the stately edifice of civilization rests. Industry renders all the nobler parts of life possible, and yet man canaot create aa atom of dust. The Cedar Rapid Outlook of Friday speaks of the death at her heme there Thursday morning, of Mrs. Z.

Raising sunflowers is a paying enter prise in Russia. The seeds are salted and regarded a fascinating edible. At street crossings in all of the provinces of Russia there are stands where peddlers with big baskets sell the salted product of the big sunflower.

The editor of the Fremont Herald is a democrat, and we have imagined we could notice several times that he di vided very accurately between the pop ulists and the Jaoksonian-Tilden kind of people. Speaking of the thought of some populists to nominate Wm. J. Bryan for president in 1904, the Herald says: "But it is too early to sow gar den seed just now. The gathering of the last crop (such as it is) and the fall plowing for the next, are'the first things in order.. Principles will live; leaders may die." The Journal For all kinds -of neat job Punting. In addtion to what is said elsewhere in today's Joubnai, concerning the rob bery of the Humphrey post-office, we learn that the postmaster, W. H. Illian, as wakened by the explosion, ran down stairs and took two shots at the robbers, but they made' good their escape, after returaiag one of the shots. One of the men is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, dark hair and mustache, wearing dark clothes; the other, about the same height, dark complexion, smooth face, and about 35 years old. -WANTEI-ACT1VK MAN OF GOOD Char- itar to deunr ad aollMt ia NftbtMkaforald wfrMirtwl wTswniiias wfeoKwie boaae. aawayr,Mie pay.

He waa always fond of .a joke and waa quick to selae aa opportaalty to Indulge hm propen sity, aa the following Incident, related by Dr. HUdreta, weH illustrates. His father, also a Colonel Sproat. kept a tavern.. One day while Ebeaeaer waa at home oa a furlough three private soldiers, oa their return Item the aaat of war. called ror a cold luacbeoa. Mrs. Sproat set oa the table seme bread aad cheese with the remaaata of the family dinner, which her sea thought rather scaaty fare for hungry men. He felt a little vexed that the defenders of the country were not more bountifully supplied. The sol diers, after satisfying their appetites, asked him how much they should pay. Ebeneaer said be would ask hla moth er. He found her la the kitchen. "Mother." be said, "how much la It worth to pick those boaeaT "About a shilling. I guess," she an swered. The young officer returned to the sol diers, and. taklag from the barroom till S shillings and smlllag gealally upon them, gave each man one and with good wishes seat them on their way. Mrs. Sproat soon after came la and asked Ebeneaer what be had done with the money for the soldiers' dinner. In apparent amazement be exclaim ed: "Money! Did I not ask you what It was worth to pick those bones, and you sakl a shilling? I thought It little enough, for the bones were pretty bare, and I handed the men the money front the till, and they are gone." Mrs. Sproat conkl not find heart to reprove her favorite son for this mis interpretation of her words, and then she. too, loved a joke, and so. after an lnstaaf s glum look, she laughed aad said It was all right Youth's Com panion. r Autm Invent a "There are a good many ants of dif ferent varieties on the lot at my coun try place, near Covington, and last year I began to make a systematic study of their habits," says a contribu tor to the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "Near one of my flower beds la a colony of small red ants that are ex tremely Industrious In collecting food, and they frequently perforin the most astonishing engineering feats In trans porting heavy burdens to their home. "Not long ago I watched a party of about a dozen who bad found the body of a small spider and were dragging It toward the nest. The spider had hairy legs, which stuck out In every direction and caught on obstacles, greatly re tarding progress. For several min utes the ants tolled away with their awkward booty and then stopped and seemed to hold a council. A minute fragment of dry leaf was lying on the ground, and presently they all lay hold and pulled the spider on top of it, Then they seized the edges and slid It along without difficulty."

Nine out of ten travelers would tell In quirers that the roughest piece of wa ter Is that cruel stretch In the English channel, and nine out of ten travelers would say what was not true. As a matter of fact, "the wickedest bit of sea" Is not in the Dover strait, or In yachting, for example, from St Jean de Lulz up to Paulllac, or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadiz to Tangier, nor Is it In rounding Cape Horn, where there Is what sailors call a "true" sea. The "wickedest sea" Is encountered In rounding the Cape of Good Hope for the eastern porta of Cape Colony. Shipping World. Fllnht mt Time. Old Med Well, old man, how'd you sleep last night?
