A north St Joseph young lady, ob serves the Daily News, is never "at home" to her gentlemen friends on Monday night That is "onion night" with her, she says. A dispatch, under date of January 10, from Puerto Real, near Cadiz, Spain, where Admiral Cevera is lying ill, says his condition hss grown worse and that his recovery is almost hopeless. Jack Shepherd, who was on the wit ness stand at Fort Scott Kansas, in answer to the question, "What's your politics?" replied: "I am a Tom Jeffer son democrat an Abe Lincoln republi can and a middle-of-the-road pop." A report on the insular receipts at Manila, Philippine Islands, during the year 1900, shows that they amounted to $19,000,000, which is $1,000,000 in excess of the largest receipts during any single year of the Spanish administration. Omaha is making strenuous efforts to raise funds to build an auditorium with a seating capacity of 10,000, and it begins to look as though their fondest hopes woald soon be realized as the subscrip tions are mounting into the thousands. In the year 1800 the territory of the United States was 815,244 square miles; in 1901 it is 3,768,521 square miles. This is an expansion of nearly 3,000,000 square miles in 100 years. It is the most amaz ing record of territorial growth ever made by a nation. A suit for $50 damages, which had been in court at Portage, Wisconsin, for more than two years, and the costs for which had run into the thousands, was decided the other day by the award of $20. The participants had nearly bank rupted themselves. The adjutant general received a cable message Friday from General MacArtbur at Manila, saying that "the transport Sheridan sailed the day before with twenty-seven officers and 654 enlisted men of the Thirty-seventh volunteer in fantry, and that the transports Logan and Lenox arrived at Manila Thursday. Bass Frazer, 19 years old, of Union Springs, Alabama, was kidnapped from the Georgia School of Technology Janu ary 5. A letter to the father from the kidnapers, signed in the boy's own hand writing, makes a demand of $5,000 for the safe return of the boy. It is claimed the father is nnable to pay such an. asaoant True reform is up-hill work in New York. It is said that there are men there "who are great financial powers and who have been furnishing the brains for Tammany Hall for years and profiting by it and they have been using the rough aaaa (Croker) who is the nominal head to control the masses and they have given him the rough man's prices." The philosopher of the Philadelphia Press briefly sums up the situation thus: "On the whole, the Jacksonian banquets of 1901 will not add much to the har mony or hilarity of the democracy. The feasts were few, the speeches short and the tone and tenor of all that ws said and done was indicative of the somber has which overcasts the democratic sky." The center of population of the United States, according to the recent census, is latitude 99 degrees 9 minutes 36 sec onds and longitude 35 degrees 48 min mtes and 54 seconds, which is in southern laawna, about seven miles southeast of the town of Colambas.

THE PRINCIPLE OF IT. The Chicago Record calls special attention to what Prof. A. B. Hart of Harvard recently said in an address in Detroit, viz: "If , the people of the south or of any community demand the burn ing at the stake of negroes as a penalty for committing horrible crimes, the state akoald make burning the legal penalty." The statement has been the subject of much discussion, and the professor has thought best to say further: "I did not mean to state that legalized lynching was a necessary thing. I meant to prove that it was not And I thought the proof that the south does not believe in lynching is foand in the fact that the people have refused to legalize it "Lynchings in the south are the con fessions of the community which permits them that it is not sufficiently civilized to wait for the ordinary course of justice. It Is an abdication of the most important function of civilization. "The statement that I have advocated burning at the stake as a legal penalty for negro crimes comes furthest from exDressinff my views in regard to this important question. I never made each an assertion. My opinion is exactly the opposite. "I believe that lynchings are a return to the cruelties of medieval tribes. Burning at the stake is not a deterrent of crime, but a brutalizing of the whole DODulation, white and black. And the south shows its horror of it by refusing to make it legal." The Journai. believes that crime is not so much a weakness of will (thongh sometimes it appears to be that), as it is perverted will, intention backed by bad motive, directed to improper and unjus tifiable ends.' Knowledge of the truth, with strict and unflinching adherence to it on the part of those who are tempted to wrong, is the sovereign remedy for them, and indicates the proper course to bo taken by communities in the punish ment of crime, and also in any-efforts that may be made for its prevention. The proper education and instruction of youth along practical (that is useful lines), briefly includes all particulars, and this training is by no means confined to books and organized schools, but is very often best and most completely secured by.the individual, working under the constant guidance and direction of his own good sense. So long as communities punish crime, they will do so with a regard to its enormity, whether the motive be reform of the criminal, or safety of the com munity, either ono or both. The riffht Density being fixed by law, speedy and sure punishment is every way better for the community. At to TJ. 8r IsAaten, Under this heading we purpose giving, from week to week, such information and speculation as may be of current inter est Ed. Journai. The Ord Quiz suggests that one of the senators be taken from the eastern portion of the state and the other from the middle, which would virtually be ignoring the Platte river as a dividing line. The candidates prominently named are: Lorenzo Crounse, F. M. Carrie, E. J. Hainer, E. H. Hinshaw, Moses P. Kin kead, Francis Martin, George D. Meikle john, George A. Murphy, L. D. Richards, Edward Bosewater, D. E. Thompson, John L. Webster, Dave Mercer. The corner counties of the state have seemed to think for the first time that they would make something by sticking together, in a way, on the principle that those situated alike should endeavor to combine for mutual benefit It has been proposed tooffer sixty-two fusion votes to any combination that wilPgive votes enough in return to seat Senator Allen, and there are said to be a number of fusion members who favor a scheme of this kind because it would give them opportunity to make it a matter of interest to themselves. NOW, THEN, WHAT? Neely committed frauds on the postal service which the United States govern ment has been giving to the Cabana. He was tried by the government and the case was appealed. The supreme court has decided that Neely, accused of complicity in these postal frauds can be extradited. For years, nay for centuries past, Cuba had been an unspeakable nuisance gov ernment, under Spanish misrule and had become so unbearably such that showing malicious mischief against the United States, not for the first time, by any means. Uncle Sam undertook the task of reducing the whole situation to order, and is doing so still. The task is not quite done, but doubtless will be in due time, and found to be reasonably satis f actor, as Uncle's big jobs have generally been, when he has called upon the boys in general, who really do the central-important work of the country. The decision of the supreme court, is looked upon as meaning that Cuba is a different country from this; that the United States is bound by declaration of congress and the entire considerations in the premises to Cuban independence. Dr. George L. Micro, the very able, well-known Nebraska pioneer, to whom the. state owes a debt she can certainly never repay, lor his untiring zeal in her upbuilding in the early days, and for the amount of good he accomplished in the settlement of .the country, has recently written a letter to the Omaha Bee in which he gives expression to strong sen timeata of disapproval of the way in which insane people are treated in some hospitals. He refers to-ms own case without hesitation, and betag himself a physician, and now in evident mental vigor, he speaks pointedly and emphati cally of his case. He was incarcerated for two months, when he now thinks that he had been kept at home among friends, kindly sad properly restrained aycomnatantattaadaatsand real friends he wosjd have been himself again in not jh' - r .J-.AsfcSSk; jwiAtft.--. - -" (xxsoooaooaoosx a sooexsoe: more than ten days.

Don't for the sake of God and humanity drive them to despair and death or to incurable mania, under the advice of any medical men on earth by denying to them these blessings. This applies to the victims of acute mania who are partially sana" A dispatch to the New York World from Vienna under date of January 10, says: Prof. Andres's will, whioh he gave instructions should be opened at the end of 1900, incase he had not returned from his balloon expedition to the north pole, has now been read. It is accompanied by a series of letters from prominent scientists, encouraging him in the dan gerous enterprise, and one from M de Fouville, warning him against it On this letter Andres had written in pencil: "It is possible that he may be right, bnt now it is too lata I' have made, all my preparations and cannot now drawback." The will itself is very short and the introduction, seem9 to show that Andreo divined the fate that awaited him. The text begins: "I write today probably my last testament and therefore it is legally valid. I write on' the ere of a journey full of dangers such as history has yet never been able to show. My presentment tells me that this terrible journey will signify my death." The remainder of the will divides Andres's property between his brother and sister. "" "No Knife," the lost chief of the Omaha Indians died lsst week at the home of his son, Matthew Tyndale, on the reservation, at the advanced age of 113 years. He is believed to have been the oldest living resident of Nebraska. He was born before Washington was elected president and consequently had lived in three different centuries. He had never been sick, at least within the memory of any living relation. "The Iran Brigade" -Letter fraai Gen. Gibbam. The following letter from Gen. Gibbon, who commanded the Iron Brigade through the Pope and Maryland cam paigns, when it fought some of its hard est battles, has not hitherto been pub lished: Philadelphia, Pa., Oct 5th, 1863. Dear Sir: Your letter of the 9th of Sept, inviting me to be present on the occasion of presenting a flag to my old brigade, did not reach me until a few days ago. Had circumstances permitted I should- have been most happy to have a vailed, myself of the invitation. The title of the "Iron Brigade" has been well earned by that fine body of men, and I am pleased to know that-its services are appreciated by the citizens of the States from which the regiments came. It so happened that this brigade has in several of the battles in which it hss taken part occupied very conspicnous positions, and has elicited the praise of all, and the highest commendation from the commanding Generals. Its "baptism of fire" was on the 28th of August, 1862, during the Pope campaign, where, almost alone, it successfully resisted the on slaught of a Division of the enemy under "Stonewall" Jackson in person, losing 600 of its men. It held a prominent position two days afterward in the battle near Bull Bun, and after that disastrous day formed the rear guard during the retreat on Centerville. At South Moun tain it was assigned the duty of attack ing the enemy's center, and held its ground nobly long after dark against a much superior force, and at Antietam it led off in the attack on our extreme right and gained new honors by its intrepidity in attack and its firmness and discipline when forced back by superior numbers. These are some of the actions in which it has been engaged, and I am proud though not 'surprised, to hear it maintain ed its high reputation at Gettysburg. It is an honor to the service and a command that any one may be proud of, and is a living evidence of what our vol unteers .can be made by a proper system of promotion. The world cannot pro duce n finer material for soldiers than the rank and file of -this Brigade, and I shall always feel a just pride in reflecting upon my association with it I am, Sir, very resply yours,.

The Injection of the blood of one per son Into the veins of another was anttt recently done to save life after severe hemorrhage and in various forma of blood poisoning. 8ometImea a direct communication was made between the veins of the donor and of the recipient by means of a tube.

It Is found that the Mood when de fibrlnated Is no longer a living fluid, and the corpuscles It contains serve no useful purpose when injected, but rath er act as foreign matter which must be got rid of. Accordingly physicians now use distilled water In which a definite proportion of common salt and other chlorides have leen dissolved. This so lutlon Is warmed and Is Injected slow' ly Into a vein at the bend of the elbow, about a quart being used. Often It Is not even necessary to pour the fluid Into a vein, but simply to" In ject It through one or more hollow needles Into the tissues beneath 'the akin of the abdomen or the thigh.;-, This Is done not only to supply an equivalent for fluid lost in hemorrhage or cholera, but also In certain diseases In which blood poisoning exists. In this latter case a large amount of fluid is Injected slowly, and being taken up by the blood Is almost Immediately excreted through the kidneys, carryings with it much of the poison which the blood was unable to rid Itself of un aided.

Graves during his newspaper career witnessed many sin gular scenes, but the oddest one hap pened, according to Mr. Graves, in the old days when the big college football teams played their star games on-the New York polo" grounds on Thanksgiv ing day. On the occasion mentioned Yale and Princeton had played and Yale bad won. Going up Broadway there walked a dapper young Princeton man and a girl. Going down Broadway at the same moment were eight victorious young Yale men. They were happy, but silent, and they came straight down the street until they spied the Princeton pair. Then still In silence, moved by a sin gle purpose, the Yale men formed a circle, and as the other pedestrians made way for them they went around and around the Princeton pair. At first the young man was surprised, then an gered, and at last he raised his cane and made a dash for liberty, wbereup-on-the Yale men stopped and, without a word, fell upon him as they do In football, quietly, heavily and quickly. Then, straightening themselves again Into a line, the eight Yaleslahs stopped a moment and in concert raised their hats to the thoroughly frightened girl and silently resumed tneir march down the street Saturday Evening Post.

In a certain North Dakota town there are two physicians, one with a long record of cures and the other popularly rated as "no good." The favored doctor found his services In great request but as payment was not always forthcoming he made a rule that a certain class of his patients should pay in advance. One winter's night he was roused by two farmers from a hamlet ten miles away, the wife of one of whom was se riously UL He told them to go to the other doctor, but they refused, saying they would prefer his services. "Very well," replied the medico. "In that case my fee Is $10, the money to be paid now." The men remonstrated, but the doc tor was obdurate" and shut down his' window. He waited, however, to hear what they would say. "Well, what will we do now?" asked the farmer whose wife was IM. And the reply that was given must have been as gratifying as It was amusing to the listening doctor. It was: "I think you would better give It The funeral would cost you more."
