American troops hare been instructed to withdraw from China next month. Only a legation guard is to remain, about one hundred and fifty men. Tho troops are to be taken to Manila. Embarkation will be made at Taku. At Pittsburg, Pa., Wednesday, two men were killed, a large brick house completely wrecked, and the roof of another blown off, money damage esti mated at $100,000, by the explosion of the "cooker" at a brewery. "Labob, capital and business ability are the three legs of a three-legged stool; neither is first, neither is second, neither is third; there is no precedence, all being equally necessary. He who would sow discord among the three is an enemy of alLw Carnegie. The revenue collections from Omaha and South Omaha alone are said to be more than from the entire state of Iowa. For the fiscal year ended June 90, last, the collections from the whole of Iowa were $1,874,000, and the two Nebraska cities were $200,000. One of the apportionment bills recom mended by a senate committee for adop tion, places the Fifth district as follows: Saunders, Butler, Polk, Colfax, Platte, Holt, Boyd, Nance, Merrick, Hamilton, Hall, Howard, Sherman, Greeley, Valley, Garfield and Wheeler. The Burlington is rebuilding its road between Chicago and Omaha, a regiment of men and steam shovels are at work. Four miles will be deducted in tho dis tance, curves lessened and grades re duced. It is said that the cost will run into millions of dollars. Atouno lady of nineteen, Miss May Turner of Elwood, Indiana, recently had taken from the flesh of her arm, one long sewing needle, darning needle, eight smaller needles, two hairpins, comb tooth, brass pin and breastpin. It is supposed the articles found found their way into the arm and to the surface of the skin through the stomach. London now feels easier. Yerkes, the American street car magnate, has been interviewed and announces that he will be satisfied to control the underground roads and allow the natives to retain an equity in the things which are on the surface. Judging by his American rec ord they expected him to claim the town the second week after arrival. Omaha Bee. The president will start for California, according to the present program, on April 30. He will proceed up the coast probably as far as Washington, and will return through the northern Rocky mountain states. One plan which has been suggested is for the presidential party to take a steamer at Duluth and make the lake trip to Buffalo, in order to visit the Pan-American exposition there. A Chete$ke dispatch says: The Barlington railroad company has filed on 11,960 acres of coal land in Carbon coanty, Wyoming. xne bungs were made at Cheyenne in seventy-one 160 acre plats. The land is located in the Seminole range and lies within a few miles of the line of the Guernsey-Salt Lake extension. The Burlington now controls over 25,000 acres of coal lands within the borders of Wyoming." The Seward Blade remarks: "If the facta in the senatorial fight at Lincoln, including all the promises made, the combines and trades effected or attempt edin abort all the inside history of the straggle could be published, it would make very interesting reading and great ly surprise everybody." Wouldn't the Blade give a very brief summary of the large volume of questionable transac tions, or does 'inside history" mean any- taing Dai gossip? Senator Tom Carter of Montana has had a varied experience in life since he was a book agent, traveling around in Bart county, taking orders for histories, et cetera; but doubtless he will be beet known to history as the man who at the closing hours of a session talked all the remaining time in order to prevent the passage of a stupendous appropriation of fifty millions of dollars for rivers and harbors, a bill that usually contains the trades and deals of all the session, and which, on the surface is seemingly just and fair. Jack Joyce, an alleged horsethief, taken at North Platte Thursday by Sheriff Goodall of Dickinson, S.

At to TJ. 8. SewAttra. Under this heading we purpose giving, from week to week, such information and speculation as may be of current inter est Ed. Journal. The deadlocks in the election of United States senators convince the people generally that there is but one way to elect United States senators and that is by popular vote. Merit wins then. In their state conventions the people would select the best man for the place and elect him. Blair Pilot A wise newspaper correspondent at Lincoln asserts that it is only through an alliance with the fnsionists that two senators will be elected. The Hub does not believe it It is not ready to admit that the republican members of the Ne braska legislature have gone daft entire ly and that any considerable number of them will enter into such an alliance. The temper of the republicans will not tolerate a failure to elect two republi- cans.- Kearney Hub. Every republican has his first personal choice of the men whom he would like to see elected senators for Nebraska, but every one cannot get his first personal choice, and most of us are reaching the point where we will be satisfied with almost anybody, just so senators are chosen. If there has ever been good ground for the election of senators by a direct vote vote of the people the action of the present legislature is furnishing plenty of good evidence in faror of it Minden Gazette. AnRAHAM Peters with his wife and two children was driving home in his buggy, and seeing a rabbit start np in the road ahead of him, attempted to shoot it with a revolver. The report of the pistol scared the team which curved round toward the buggy, threatening destruction. Mr. Peters hurriedly put the pistol into his overcoat pocket, han dle down. The weapon was discharged, the ball going through a heavy fur coat, a heavy jacket, sweater and undershirt entering the right side between the first and second ribs. Mrs. Peters had to drive the team four miles. At last account the patient was improving, but the bullet had not been found. This is the substance of an incident related by the York Republican.

A quiet home wedding took place last Thursday, March 14, 1901, at the home of Mrs. Julius Basmussen, the contracting parties being Mr. Frank Schram and Miss Anna Basmussen, both well known in Columbus, their native town. As the clock rang out the hour of 12, noon, the bride and groom, to-be, took their places in the back parlor which was prettily decorated. The bride was gowned in an elegant dark green broad cloth traveling suit and carried white roses. The groom was attired in the conventional black. Then followed the impressive Episco pal wedding ceremony performed by Rev. Weed, rector of the Episcopal church of this city, in the presence of the relatives the only guests. After congratula tions had been tendered the pretty, blushing bride and the happy groom, the guests were seated at tables which were beautifully decorated with red roses, ferns and smilax. No description is necessary of the sumptuous repast as all know of the unsurpassed ability of the bride's mother in entertaining. The happy couple left at 2 o'clock for a trip in the east The bride received a number of useful and dainty presents, Mr. and Mrs. Schram will be at home after April 1, 1901, East Fourteenth street, Columbus, Neb. The Journal extends congratulations to the happy couple and wishes them long life and abundant prosperity. Get It Sight. As there has been some discussion in regard to the coroner's verdict as to the collision March Cth, we give it exactly as rendered: "That on the 6th day of March, 1901, between the hours of 8 and 9d.dl. raid John C. Medham came to his death by an accident caused by U. P. train No. 7 running into rear end of U. P. train No. 25, near B. & M. crossing while train No. 25 was running on time of train No. 7 for some cause unknown to the jury. We further exonerate both train crews from any criminal intent or negligence." THE PEOPLE OF COLUMBUS AND VICINITY will be pleased to know that the well-known European Eye Specialist Dr. N. Newman, formerly of Minneapolis, Minn., has decided to locate permanently in Columbus. The Doctor is a specialist in the fitting of glasses, and confines his work to this one branch. He has graduated from the beet oph thalmological schools of this country and previously took a two-year course in Europe. Thoughtful people are every day showing their appreciation of the specialist who devotes his time and study to acquiring knowledge of the eyes and individual eyesight peculiarities. Shopkeepers and merchants, who sell glasses, are fast falling into disrepute because people of the present day do not care to trust their eyes to their own or unskilled and hap-hazard fitting. When in need of the best glass aid, the Doctor wul be pleased to have you call at his office opposite Bagatz grocery store on Eleventh street where he will be after the 25th of the present month. 1 The recent advance in the price of land in the Cedar valley has induced any to sell out and with the money pay their debts and take a new start ader better circameUacea.

The Columbus High school oratorical contest preliminary to that given at Norfolk, was held as per program at the opera house Monday night The music under the direction of Prof, Garlicha, added very considerably to the pleasure of the occasion. Miss Watkina' pupils sang two pieces that were well received, appreciated as coming from the little folks, among whom were some very excellent voices. The piano duet by Misses Grace and Myrtle Hoffman was highly appreciated. The vocal solo by Miss Lottie Hockenberger showed evidence of the culture of a naturally sweet voice. The piano solo by Miss Ethel Henrich waa in her usual style, clear and strong. The work of the High school orchestra waa fully up to its high standard, and the audience were de lighted with efforts of all to please their hearers. As to the remainder of the program, the speakers all did very well; some were not so judicious as others in the selection of pieces adapted to their pecu liar talents, but all had very evidently studied their pieces, and had a good conception of their inner meaning, for language and gesture combined are but another sort of music expressive of sen timenta living, moving picture repre sentative of inner forces.

All over the country the faithful American hen is beginning to be appre ciated at her true worth in dollars and cents, on the farm and in the suburbs of the busy cities and villages.

The largest establishment for this food pro duct is located at Springfield, Mass. The English government has the prepa ration on its hospital supply list. The Klondike country is a heavy user. They will answer any purpose in the culinary line except boiling. A late news item is attached: "A carload of evaporated eggs, valued at $14,000, was lately shipped from Springfield, Masa, for San Fran cisco, where it will be placed on a steam er bound for Cape Nome." The Ne braska hen is among the best of birds. Questions between landlords and tenants are apt to come up at any time, and be the cause of much dispute' and ill-feeling. What Judge Slabaugh said to a jury the other day in a case in con troversy may be helpful to some Joornaij reader: "If a man suffers an injury that he could have avoided by the exercise of prudence he cannot recover damages for that injury. If yon rent a house and find that the furnace is out of repair it is your duty to get it fixed, and if it's so bad that it can't be repaired, throw it out and put in a new one, charging np the cost to the owner who has contracted to keep the house in proper shape. Don't let your family freeze and then go after your landlord for damages. In this case it appears that the injury was the result of circumstances that could have been avoided by the tenant and I shall therefore instruct the jury that he is entitled only to nominal damage, if any." The Journal For all kinds -of neat job Pumtino. Strawberries are coming to the city markets today from Mississippi, Louisi anna and Texas, and they come by ex press. Of course they have the "taste of gold." The first week in April finds the southern Arkansas strawberry on the market by car loads; two weeks later come the northern Arkansas, and in May, Missouri fills the demand and lowers the price. The crop is reported as good, and "Time flies rapidly," so that Jovrnai. readers may expect soon to eat the fruit, of which Henry Ward Beecher said, "Doubtless the Almighty could have made a finer fruit, but doubtless helFre(j Kohls to Mathis Ficber, nsver did." I tw4 uw4, a2 nwi, w2 ne4 9Qr The way to get rid of perplexing in dividual problems is to look at them in the light of the welfare of your neigh bors as well as your own, and the way to settle community differences is to view them in the light of the general welfare. Found your action upon the solid rock of general principles, rather than selfish ness of any kind or degree. The Gol den Bole is a good working principle, when properly applied. A very good il lustration of its working may be cited. Two brothers A and B, disputed as to the division of their father's estate be tween them, and agreed to leave the decision to a good and wise old neigh bor, who had seen a great deal of the world's strifes. His proposal was that A, being the elder should properly make the division (whereat A rejoiced exceed ingly). and that B should then take his choice of the two parts. Sunday last was one of the days long to be remembered by Nebraakana who were in good health and out of doors enjoying the sunshine and the balmy air. The green grass; the budding msple; the home-like robin; the joyous meadow lark; the happy faces of the people whether in carriages, on horseback or bicycle, made a moving picture, good to remember. Advertising, as the means of pros perity, is not so well understood as it should be. Nothing can take its place. It is a fact that no one who has adver tised liberally and systematically has felt like disputing that it was the best-spent money he put iuto his business. As a horse was never.. made fat by a single bushel of oats, so a single advertisement is never a perfect test of the benefits of advertising. The man with genuine wares to sell who advertised them in the right way without success would be a curiosity. Adapted from Kellogg. Frank Brosahan arrived here last Friday evening on a visit to his mother, Mrs. Timony. Mr. Brosahan has been in tho naval service of the United States for the past twelve years.

Don't beat kick, swear at and abuse that poor little calf you are trying to learn to drink. Just stop and think how much you would have known about drinking if some big fellow had straddled your neck, grasped an ear in each hand and jambed yonr nose into milk up to your eyes when you were two days old. Don't expect your calf to be a brighter animal than yourself. Exchange. With hogs selling at $5 a hundred weight, chickens at 50 cents apiece, hay at $8 a ton and corn at 90 cents a bushel it is little wonder that every man who can get a couple of crowbaits and a plow is looking for a tract of land to farm and that real estate is changing hands at a great rate at from $50 to $75 an acre hereabouts. Farmers are kings now, sure enough. Fremont Tribune. J. F. Wall, by his attorney A. E. Garten, has brought suit against the city for $5,000 damage.
