America is a tolerably free country when yon think right down to the foun dation of things, and act accordingly. The Journal has had thirty years' ex perience in handling legal notices of all descriptions, and takes this occasion to aay that it is thoroughly equipped for this sort of work. We desire that you remember us when you hare work of this sort to be done. When 70U do the paying, you hare the right to place the work. Special atten- tion .given to mail orders.

About a score of missionaries of the Church of Latter Day Saints are at work at present in Nebraska. - There is talk of an air line railroad from Omaha to Emporia, Kansas, thence to the Oulf of Mexico ports. "Bad company, bad liquor and bad ideas" are credited with bringing five young men at Omaha to prison. A pension of $8 a month has been granted to Mrs. John C. Breckenridge, widow of the former vice president of the United State. A Milwaukee judge holds that Chris tian Scientists are not answerable to the state law there, because they do not use medicine in healing the sick. Near Humboldt a farm hand named AL Baker, while trimming a hedge fence, struck a limb in such a manner that the thorn pierced his right eyeball. A violent sneeze is said to have caus ed total deafness to Miss Louise Gibbons of Winsted, Conn. The sneeze was immediately succeeded by a hemorrhage in each ear. There is a report that E. T. Wolver ton, a veteran prospector, when search ing for copper, stumbled upon an ex tinct crater from which had overflowed vast quantities of manganese iron. The discovery was made twelve miles south of Little Grande, Utah. The 14-months-old child of George Bioe, near Hildreth, fell with its face on the open points of a pair of scissors, the blades penetrating between the eyes, killing the child instantly. The acci dent occurred while the mother was at work at the sewing machine. The origin of the $15,000 fire at the Council Bluffs transfer last Wednesday night is not certainly known, but it is supposed to have started from a match that a mouse had been nibbling. Mice are pretty expensive occasionally, and even matches are not an unmixed benefit. Constable William P. Snowden of Omaha, 7G years old, bears the distinc tion of being the first white man to locate in Omaha, coming in the early spring of 1854, before there was a build ing on the townsite, a continuous resi dent since then. He is now as spry as a kitten. World-Herald. Alfred Alexander, father of Fred.

A dispatch from Pittsburg says that fifty thousand workers are suffering from enforced idleness, and that the damage from flood will reach $3,000,000. At the oosMuence of the Allegheny and Monon gahela the water reached a depth of twenty-eight feet. Thursday heavy storms of wind and rain ware reported at Selma, Bridgeport, New Orleans Junction and Montgomery in Alabama, and at Chattanooga, Tenn. Many trees were uprooted; a freight train wrecked; two churches wrecked; a steamboat sunk; telegraph lines demol ished here and there. The wind was estimated as high as fifty-five miles an hour. "I saw a most singular sighl in this town yesterday," writes a Kansas soldier boy from VIsjkb, Luzon, island. "I saw LOOO Filipinos take the oath of allegiance to the United States. And it is an oath that will stick, for it was taken -before the army officers and a priest of the church, and the Filipino is faithful to aay thing about his religion. The Fil ipinos came to town early in the morn ing and lined up in the church, which will hold 5,000 people. They marched up to the altar and there placed one hand on the bible and also kissed the crucifix when the oath was taken. This rebellion ia basted beyond any doubt and the body of the Philippine people are hty glad of it." Ebolaxd's revenue the last year was 110fl85jOOO; expenditures were 188,- net deficit, 5307,000.

MEW FIELD FO DRUMMERS. Bwtkn Work ing, Ferelgn Tanas When the trust movement was at its height there was' much despondent talk about the passing of the commercial traveler. The consolidation of rival companies in some cases was avowedly made with a view to reducing the num ber of traveling salesmen, and hundreds have undoubtedly been taken off the road in the United States in the last few years. But the American commercial traveler has recently reappeared in a new and larger field. He is busily at work in England, France, Germany, South Africa, South America, Asia, and other foreign markets. Apparently the consolidation of American industries, instead of throw ing the traveling salesman out of em ployment, has given him n wider and more lucrative field in many depart ments of trade. European correspondents report com plaints from all quarters regarding the energy with which American agents are hustling about on that side of the Atlantic and selling our manufactures in competition with those of European make. The advent of these Yankee salesmen is resented by the leisurely rivals whose markets they are invading, but consumers are buying the American goods whenever these are better or cheaper. American enterprise is making itself felt in Europe as never before. Hardly a day passes in London without the appearance of a new group of engi neers and mercantile agents from the United States. These salesmen are skilled in their business and receive good salaries. Young men intending to enter commer cial life will do well to realize the signifi cance of this change. Heretofore the market for our manufactures has been chiefly domestic, and the commercial salesman had to deal only with Ameri cans. Now our industries have taken possession of many foreign markets, and manufacturers will pay liberal salaries to agents who can help to hold and enlarge this new field. To be a success ful salesman in a foreign country re quires a knowledge of the language and customs of the people. To sell goods in continental Europe an agent should be able to talk French, German, Russian, Norwegian or Italian, according to the country in which he is to work. There will be an increasing demand for good salesmen with a knowledge of Spanish, who can push American trade in South America and in our new island posses sions. Modern languages will be more useful than before to practical Amer icana But a mere knowledge of a foreign language is not enough to insure success abroad, even for those who have been good salesmen at home. Americans will have to learn to adapt themselves to the customs and business methods of other nations. In Latin countries, for in stance, they must pay more attention to politeness and be less abrupt and hasty in their methods. Oar consuls frequent ly complain of the unwillingness of American manufacturers and salesmen to try to please foreign customers on small but essential points. When our commercial travelers shall have fitted themselves thoroughly for their new field they are likely to become still more important members of the trade world than they were under the old order of things. Chicago Tribune. ANTI-AMERICANISM IN EUROPE Fright Over the Iaaustrial eff the United States. The talk of an anti-American combine in Europe against the ever increasing development of the United States is re newed. Our friends across the Atlantic should not allow their jealousy to get the better, of their judgment Any combine they may be able to effect would not make the slightest difference to the United States, and it is extremely doubtful if these mutually jealous and embittered states could effect a combine which could be held together by anything more than ropes of sand. There is no possibility of Germany and Great Britain pooling their industrial issues, for they have for years been fighting "tooth and nail," and Germany has been eating into the trade vitals of England until Eng lishmen have deserted their own tipple and are taking German beer. There is no trade concord between any of the European powers and a com bine against the United States would have but a short life. Europe could not afford to stop buying of us, especially in the particulars of bread and meat , The London correspondent of the New York Evening Post says: "Undoubtedly the steel trade and allied industries in Britain are passing through a crisis at present America has shot ahead and become the greatest iron producing power in the world. Under the favorable conditions she has planted her steel right down at the door of the British maker at prices lower than the startled Welshman and the Shef field man and the Clyde man can afford to charge. Never again will they be able to shake themselves free from American competition. It has come upon them like a fall of snow in the night and has begun to thaw and drip coldly down their backs. In order to meet it down must come the price of coal, down mast come the workers' wage it is high at present and they must set about perfecting machinery and con sidering day and night bow to success fully meet this American oompetion." -This last injunction embodies the only remedy- of which England .can avail herself. It is, indeed doubtful if she caa avail herself of such remedy. She is no longer in command of cheap fuel. The same may be said of Germany and Franc, Russia ia supposed to have illimitable coal measures, bat that is suii u we oommn or. conjecture. . i We hare the advantage of being able to feed ourselves from our own aoil'plowuproada' xxxxxx; and produce surplus enough to feed half the morld besides. We are, indeed, not in a position to suffer from any Europ ean combine against oar development. American development can't be held down. Minneapolis Journal. Mffittml !. The Omaha Presbytery met in Schuyler Tuesday, Wednesday ana Thursday last On Wednesday, a W. Weyer, a student of the Omaha Semi nary, was. licensed and ordained by the Presbytery to preach. Schuyler Sun. Every man should experiment with a little patch of alfalfa. Maybe it will grow with him and maybe it won't A porous subsoil and permanent moisture within ten feet are essentials to its suc cess. If it can be made to grow, it is the most valuable forage plant on the whole list Exchange. A half column editorial write up in the Sunday Omaha World-Herald gives a glowing accounof our industries, but fails to mention the greatest bnilder of the community, the one enterprise that if discarded no town could live the newspaper. The article concludes with the following: "On the whole, Columbus is one of the representative communities of the west in a state that stands ahead of all others in the intelligence of its people." Oscar Peterson of Schuyler has lately bought a ranch in Bock county, Nebraska, at a cost of $21,000, 2,090 acres of land. The following is a partial list of persons who have left here in the past few years and located in that part of the country and are now doing well: Thos. Shaw, James Sutherland, John and Charles Towle, Ed Van Housen, John Higgins, James and Sim Green, James Coventry, Mapes Brothers, Jasen Smith and A. B. Newell. Schuyler Sun. After all the experience in going from Nebraska to find a better country the opinion has become well established that, all things considered, there is no better place for the average man than in this state. We have fewer people out of employment, fewer paupers and tramps than any other state. For everyone who can better his condition by going away there are hundreds who could do better by oonvng here, and staying here for life. Cedar Rapids Outlook. Sunday's Illustrated Bee gives the portrait of Mrs. Pauline Eder, who for merly lived here, who now has the posi tion of mail carrier over the Praha-Heun-Wells Bissell star route out from Schuy ler, entailing a daily drive, except Sun days, of forty-five miles. Since she undertook it the mail has not missed being carried a single day although during seven days of that time, on ac count of rheumatism, she provided a substitute. Mrs. Eder is 47 years old. A Columbus citizen is of the opinion that for a speaker to be whistled at is more insult than applause. The Jour nal thinks that the whistle 'should follow the stamping of feet into oblivion. The good old clapping of hands, or cheers if the enthusiasm warrants it, are deemed ample and sufficient for all occasions by the modern speaker or entertainer; and the average audience would undoubtedly be content with these methods of dem onstrating approval. Norfolk News. The other day William Dietrich, who is somewhere in the neighborhood of 65 years of age, did a job of work that well might have tasked the strength of a much younger man. With a band plow he went three times over two town lots preparing for and planting potatoes, traveling during the day seven miles, and looked the next day as though he could repeat the operation, if necessary. One of his neighbors remarked that he would like to have seen him at work when he was young and active. C. H. Morian and Ed. Wurdeman went up to Wheeler county Saturday to look at some grazing land which was owned by Mr. Wurdeman. On their re turn it was announced that Mr. Morian -J had become the owner of the land. This ranch comprises three thousand acres, eight hundred of which is excell ent hay land located on Clearwater creek bottom. The entire tract is under fence and is especially adapted for stock raising. Mr. Morian traded in part payment on this land 1G0 acres north of Leigh. Leigh World. At Omaha last- Thursday hay went up to eleven dollars a ton. It is regard ed as due to several influences: bad roads in hay-growing districts, owing to late rains; an unusual demand in Iowa and elsewhere for Nebraska hsy; and last that Nebraska stockmen are consuming thousands of tons more than the owners figured on during the mild weather of the winter; then, the calculation was that there would be a large surplus left over, when now stockmen are getting anxious about being able to pull through to the new crop, at least two months yet Here and there over the state at various times trouble has arisen from fanners sssnsiinr to plownp and seed to crops a portion of the public highway alongside their premises, Of course they have no legal right to do so and yet, if cattle driven along sach places eat the growing crops, who can be bhunsd, the general public whose roadway it is, the "dumb, driven cattle,' who are innocent of sny wrong, or the man who violates the law by plowing np the highway? The Lincoln Journal makes the follow ing reference to a case in Lancaster county: "Under the law it ia the daty of the road overseer to make complaints in such cases and ha is liable if he doss not do ao. The coaaty attorney has resolved to refer sach compUiata to road and whan sach an oaVisl makes a complaint, he will issue a war raataaaiaat the oteadiag party.

Platte Center Signal The Burwell irrigation ditch, in which numerous. ura neonio wen in- terestedr was sold; at sheriff's sale last week, to George W. Hoohler, an Omaha Capitalist The consideration; 9MO'. xc m unaarscooa inai we pur chaser will pnt the ditch into operation after the sale has been confirmed'by the court Ord Tii Some time ago The Journal called attention to the fact that hay is to be more in demand than heretofore and that consequently more must be raised; a substitute provided, or the inevitable upward tendency in price be looked for. These conditions are now here, tempo rarily at least, and the price of hay is $H to $11 a ton according to the locality, with the strong probability that it will reach as high as $20 a ton before grass for cuttiog'is ready. But back' of all this, there must be additional provender raised, and the hay supply kept for uses that nothing else will fill. There is alfalfa to develop where it can 'be; sor ghum has been found to make an ex cellent rough feed; millet, some farmers raise to very good purpose; broadcast corn has been called into requisition, here and there, but we believe that the main reliance will be in shredding the cornstalks, which already in a few places in the state has become a profitable practice. Farmers' problems are among the most difficult of solution, bnt the most useful, when solved. &ttttfrt1 erstttal Jstettttf n. 5 Mi9:U4i Mrs. G. A. Scbroeder is in Schuyler.

Mr. Sheldon is in the banking and cat tle raisicg business with his father. The happy couple left on the south bound train at night in a shower of rice. Their future home will be in Columbus." CityCaueU. The most interesting topic is the es tablishment of a grade for the streets, so that property owners can build their houses and lay their sidewalks in con formity with a uniform grade. It is seen that this includes the consideration of sewerage. Peter McCaffrey has been elected en gineer at the waterworks, with Fred. Brunhofer assistant. Dr. Baker's resignation as city physi cian was received. Dr. Evans will be city physician after May 1. The following communication was read and referred to the committee on Public Property: The undersigned committee acting pursuant to the direction of the Wo man's club of this city beg leave to re mind your honorable body that the morals of the city no less than the safety of selves and children would be promo ted by the maintaining of sufficient lights in Frankfort square park during the ensuing summer season. That beau tiful spot the pride of the city, and a monument to the wisdom of your repre sentatives, is the resort in season of tramps, loafers and other vicious charac ters whose presence there is a menace to the safety of men as well as unprotected women and children. We feel confident that the cost of one or more arc lights at the point indicated would be money well expended and that such action on your part would be cordially approved by law-abiding people of the city. Susan A. Seables, Ella M. Post. Florence L. Baker. A resolution was unanimously passed expressing appreciation of ex-Councilman C. C. Gray's artistic taste in caring for Frankfort park, and asking him to further advise with the council in re gard to same. Death of George E. lanram. Tuesday afternoon of last week, Lean der Gerrard received word from Genoa that George E. Barnum had just dropped dead at that place. He and Fred. Stevens had started from here the day before for the western part of the state on business, expecting to drive across the country. He ate a hearty breakfast; took dinner with some friends, and at 2 o'clock fell over on the walk, dying before a physi cian reached him. Mr. Stevens arrived here with the remains Wednesday, which were taken to the farm residence south of the city, the funeral services being conducted there Thursday afternoon by Rev. Joel Warner of Creston, burial in the city cemetery, the pall-bearers being H. S. Elliott, Fred. Stevens, H.Ragatz, W. A. Way, Adam Smith, Harry Newman. Mr. Barnum was nearly 51 years of age, having been born at Decatur, Iowa, May 1, 1850. He was married to Miss Carrie Kimball in 1869. She died in 1896, leav ing two children, Loran Barnum of this vicinity and Mrs. Bert Hager of Bell wood, who survive their father. In 1898, Mr. Barnum married Miss Emma, daughter of F. H. Gerrard, who with an infant child are left to mourn the loss of husband and father. In many points of character George E. Barnum resembled his father, Guy C. Barnum, who preceded him to the Spirit world by about three weeks. He was generous-hearted to persons in distress; outspoken in his views as to matters which concerned himself and others; determined and courageous in whatever his judgment approved of as thoroughly right and proper to do. His was a strong individuality in many ways, a man of his own peculiar kind, whose life journey was not always along the margin of the quiet stream, and whose inmost prob lems and contests were not of the com monest sort, by any means. Perhaps his sentiments may be justly set forth in these lines of the poet Whittier, on THE ETERNAL GOODNESS. I know sot what the-f afore hath. Of aarrel or surprise. Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies. I know not where His islands lift Their froaded palms in air; I only know 1 cannot drift Beyond His love aad care. Xaai Zitate Transfer.
