The recent balloon voyage from Paris
of Count de La Yanix 1,200 miles in 35
hours 45 minutes is probably the long

the balloon contained only 57,000 cubic
feet of illuminating gas.
Johx D. Loxo, Secretary of the Navy,
has purchased a site for a residence
which he will immediately erect in Colo
rado Springs, Colorado. His daughters,
who hare been there for the past year
for their health, will make that their
permanent home.
Boss Hammond of the Fremont Trib
ne and W. N. Huse of the Norfolk
News are invited to become colonels on
Got. Dietrich's staff and will doubtless
accept. The governor again shows his
good judgment in giving recognition to
these brilliant newspaper writers.

Thk Illinois general assembly, which
ooBvenes in January, will be asked to
make kidnapping for ransom punishable
by death. Stirred by the kidnapping of
young Cudahy at Omaha and his release
on payment of $25,000 in gold, some
members of the state legislature are de
termined that the Illinois laws shall be
amended so as to make liable to the gal
Iowa any who may commit similar crimes
in that state. Already three state repre
sentatives from Chicago districts are
gaged in drafting bills to be presented
to this end. The Nebraska law seems
also to be quite deficient governing such
crimes and the punishment and it may
be that it will be amended and strength
ened at the coming session of our law
OUR TRADE IN THE PACIFIC.
In the last five years the largest per-
itage of gain in American eznorts has
been with Asia and Oceanica. The fig
ures of increase for ten months are from
25,687,421 in 1895 to $8365,153 in the

operations at Fakkt and the disturbed
condition of the country. . But to Japan
this year the United States has sent
goods valued at over 21,000,000, or 50
par cent more than in 1899, There has
also bean aa increase in exports to Hong

to Africa have almost tripled since 1895,
sxaadingthis year at $17,000,000 for ten
mouths. In Hawaii, the Philippines and
Alaska there is a large increase in trade,

Of all the senatorial candidates none
are receiving so many complimentary
notices from the newspapers of the state
as 6. D. Meiklejohn. Almost every
paper you pick up has something good to
aay about "gentleman George," and the
newspapers are generally a pretty good
index to the sentiment of the public at
large. Central City Nonpareil.
Hon. E. H. Hinahaw, of Fairbury, the
choice of Fillmore and York counties for
United States senator, ia fast gaining
public favor for that appointment Mr.
Hinahaw would make a good senator.
His record is dean. His education is of
the best. His mental powers are in full
maturity. He is young and strong, capa
ble of bearing up under all the burdens
that are apt to fall to the lot of a public
servant. He is a safe man. He is not
given to "political fits." No populistio
leanings or proclivities can be ascribed
to him. Throughout all his political
career he has always been a republican,
and when there was a work to be done
he was ready and willing and has done
yeoman service for the party in many
state campaigns. Fillmore County
News.
Edward Bosewater came to Nebraska
in an early day and established The
Omaha Bee. He did so without fortune
of his own or strong financial backing.
It was established on business principles
and has ever been so conducted, and by
indomitable energy, push, pluck and
good judgment on the part of its editor
has gradually been built up until it is
now one of the foremost dailies of the
nation. Much that has been accom
plished for the republican party in Ne
braska is dee to the efforts of The Bee
and its editor. Particularly is this true
in the campaign that has just passed.
While others did what they could no
influence extended over as wide a scope
of country or reached the people as
generally and as effectually as did The
Bee. What the country press was to
the locality in which it circulated The
Bee was to the state in general. More
than this, it reached the voters of the
state for fully four days after the coun
try papers went to press for the last
time previous to the election. Its arti
cles were always such as to command
respect and carry conviction to those
who read them. No one questions the
ability of Mr. Bosewater. There is not
a man in the state capable of doing the
state more valiant service than is he.
With these facts in view, and iikoonsid
eration of the services he has rendered
the-party in- the past and what is ex
pected of him in the future, it is nothing
more than simple justice that he should
be selected as one of the two United
States senators from Nebraska. Stan

Capital City Letter. -
Lincoln, December 24. (Special Cor
respondence.) The anxiety about ap
pointments under the new administra
tion will soon be ended, except for the
hundred or so who desire to be oil in
spectors, and the docen or so who desire
to handle the penitentiary. It is an
nounced that these places will not be
filled until after the legislature has got
well down to business.
For the deaf and dumb institute at
Omaha, and the school for the blind at
Nebraska City, the governor is disposed
to look for experts, even though he has
to go outside the state for material.
The announcement that the appoint
ment for the Home for the Friendless,
and the Girls Home, at Milford, will all
be referred to the Board of Lady Mana
gers has met with general approval
The disposition of the new state treas
urer is to give a personal bond, instead
of a guaranty bond. It is said that
Treasurer Meserve paid the guaranty
company a premium of $1,500, and that
now they want to raise it to $200,
which is the price of the treasurer's sal
ary for just one half his term. Mr.
Steufer will have no difficulty in fur
nishing the required signatures, but he
is being urged to take the proposition of
the bond company, and depend on a
legialative appropriation to pay the ex
pense. flu . .
xs unusual interest in tne coming
session of the legislature has led the
daily newspapers to engage increased
forces to attend to the reporting of the
legislative work, and it is now certain
that the people will be better than ever
able to keep track of their lawmakers.
It is remarked that the establishment of
so many rural delivery routes in the in
tenor of the state will bring newspapers
right to the doors of the farmers, and
that the news in both daily and weekly
papers will be right fresh when it is re
ceived. This leads every one to remark
that this is n great country under a re
publican administration.
A very pretty contest has been waged
between Capt HoUingsworth,Capt Cos
grave and Major Kilian, all of the gal
lant First Nebraska, to see which should
be appointed adjutant general . The
decision that a soldier of the Spanish
war should have the place met with
general satisfaction, and none lent their
approval more heartily than the old
soldiers, who up to this time have had
charge of this important office. The
three mentioned candidates all have
strong support, and the appointment
is sure to light upon an excellent officer.
In the making of bis numerous appoiat
nte the govemer is very fortunate, all
along the line, as he seems to have had
nothing but good material to choose

Fsaxk H. Mows of Ohio, auditor of
the War department, was shot and. in
stantly killed about 2:10 o'clock Satur
day afternoon by Samuel McDonald, also
of Ohio, reeentl disbursing' clerk of the
treasury, in the former's ossoe at the
Winder building on Seventeenth street.
Auditor Morris was closeted alone with
McDonald when the shooting occurred.
In trying to make his escape McDonald
also assaulted the watchman, Thomas
Cusick, with the butt of his revolver.
He was arrested while leaving the build
ing. Before oeing taken into custody,
however, be shot himself in the stomach
and also made an ugly gash in his throat
with a small penknife. When the offi
cers arrested' him be was heard to ex
claim: "I did it I know I am done for."
Employes who knew McDonald said he
had a grievance against Morris, who, he
claimed, was responsible for having his
pay reduced. Of hers who knew him said
they could not' attribute his deed to any
thing but a" diseased brain from over
indulgence in liquors;
At Malvern, Iowa, Saturday last at
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the
dead body of 12-year-old Inex Gibson,
the niece and adopted daughter of T. D.
Gibson, a prominent grocer of that place,
was found hanging in a oloeet whioh
opened from her bedroom. The coroner
was called and held an inquest and de
cided that the child had taken her own
life, using her own jumping rope for the
purpose. No cause can be given for the
act Inex was a very bright and intelli
gent child, rather qniet but well beloved
by all her playmates and classmates.
Her home with her uncle was exception
ally pleasant and comfortable and all
pleasures and comforts which money
could buy were lavished on the little
girl. Hence, her action ia more than
usually unaccountable.
Dobotht CaxEDE, 5 years old, living at
San Francisco, is to receive $3,000,000
from Nicholas Creede, the Colorado mil
lionaire, providing she leads a proper and
virtuous life until she is 20 years old.
Such are the terms of the will. Little
Dorothy's life thus far has been as
romantic as novel. She is the grand
daughter of a California pioneer named
Walker, but her father committed sui
cide when ill luck fell on him, and the
mother was thought to be on her dying
bed when Creede stepped in and adopted
the girl baby. She made his home happy
for one year. Then he died and willed
her his fortune. She is now in her
mother's charge and is to be carefully
reared so she may fulfill the conditions
of Creede's will.
At Fremont last week occurred the
marriage of Miss Pearl E. Forney,

man who stuck a pin In the elephant's
trunk and years afterward was del
uged with dirty water by the remem
bering elephant I am surprised that
any one should take thia yarn serious
ly. Why. the average thickness of the
elephant's hide runs from half an Inch
to two Inches deep. Now, Imagine a
pin going through that thickness on an
errand of pain. It would swallow a
pin and break a needle.
"The old fashioned elephant story
that has any real basis of truth la the
one that makes the big brute afraid of
a mouse. Experience in the winter
quarters of a show, where mice and
rats thrive, convinces one of this fact
A mouse will make an entire herd
noisy with fright and a rat will put
them In a condition of desperate fear.
An elephant may defend itself against
a lion, tiger or any other natural ene
my, but the Insignificant sise of a
mouse baffles his conception of offen
sive or defensive warfare. The mouse
Is too quick to be crushed underfoot
or to be caught by his trunk, and it
can scamper over his rough hide with
impunity. The elephant realizes his
helplessness against such a diminutive
foe and learns to fear It as he fears no
other animal." Buffalo Express.

gies. They "root" through everything
and leave a muss after them. Willie.
0 years old, has a pair of parents who
try to break him of the habit of tak
ing things on his plate that he cannot
eat and leaving much to go to waste.
He Is in a fair way to Improve under
their watchfulness.
"Ion must eat the crust, too, WOUe,"
his mamma will say, and Willie will
dutifully eat the crust
"Don't take such a large piece of
cake, Willie, unless you can eat It,"
his papa will say, and Willie will take
It and stuff himself with It rather than
to leave a crumb for his father to
grumble about.
The other day Willie was Invited to
a birthday party. His mother dressed
blm In his best clothes.
' "Now. mind, Willie," was the last
thing she said to him; "eat everything
you take on your plate."
Willie came home that evening with
severe pains. The little girl In whose
honor the party was given waa IS
years old. Her mother had
birthday cake, and part of the
of ornamentation of It were 13
candles. There were three of them on
