Gov. Ges. McAbthcb of the Philip pines sails July 1 for the United States. Ex-oonokessvax S. R.Petebs of Kan aaB is to succeed H. Clay Evans as U. S. pension commissioner. The post office at Stanton was robbed Saturday night of about $35 in money and an equal amouut in stamps. The total revenues for the first quarter of the current year in the Philippines amounted to $2,199,304, an increase of $930,915 as compared with the same period of 1900. Seventeen judges of first instance courts have been appointed for the Phil ippines, among them being W. F. Norris, formerly of Wayne, this state, for the island of Negros. The political friends of Senator Alli son of Iowa are reviving talk of his presidential possibilities in 1901, now that President McKinley has declined to talk of a third term. Elheb B. Stephenson has been ap pointed collector of the internal revenue for the district of Nebraska, succeeding J. E. Houtz. All the other one-term fellows are quaking in their boots. Fremont Herald. The battle ship Illinois was given a builders' trial trip over the government course off Cape Ann, Mass., one day last week, and made 17.31 knots, thus prov ing to be the fastest battle ship in the United States navy. Russia claims to have a sub-marine boat under construction which, when completed, will be able to cross the At lantic in two days and a half. The secret of its speed lies in the peculiar construction of its screw. With the third term scare played out, democracy must hunt up another scare crow. The democratic scarecrow store house is becoming so crowded the democracy must soon go out of the business or provide larger quarters. Omaha Bee. Plasmox is the name of the new dairy product, one ounce of which is said to be equal in nourishing and sustaining prop erties to three and a quarter pounds of the finest beefsteak or to about 10 or 12 pints of milk. Ab a portable, concen trated nutriment it seems to have no equal, and ib in use by the German government. A toknado did considerable damage early Tuesday morning of last week near Larchwood, Iowa. Edward Ugland's house was wrecked and he and his chil dren were carried some distance and landed in a wheat field, bruised, but otherwise uninjured. The other mem bers of his family were unhurt Near Lester, some distance east, a boy was killed and several people were badly injured. Many buildings and much farm property were destroyed. In his timely information to the pub lic in regard to his attitude towards a third term. President McKinley, as he invariably does, has given evidence of his strong love of country; his desire to serve his fellow-citizens faithfully to the best of bis ability, and to divest the con sideration of grave public questions, and the solution of national problems from eventhe suspicion of a personal bias so far a he is concerned. It was what was to be expected of him. Axdbew Roskwateb of Omaha has plaas for two new power plants and has fled applications for an appropriation of water to run them, with the secretary of irrigation. The Omaha plant, as it is called, is to be situated in Sarpy county Bear a large bend in the Platte river. The Fremont plant will cost $3,200,000. The dam $1,000,000, the canal $1,000,000, the machinery $1,000,000 and the build ings $200,000. The water is to be taken from the south side of the Platte river wast of the town of Sogers. The reser voir and works of the Fremont plant will be placed on Otoe creek five miles south of Fremont. The power will be suffi cient to Omaha, Fremont, Lincoln and other cities it desired. It is not expect ed that both plants will be built. East ern capitalists are interested. The storms west and north of us have been frequent the past few days. South of Huron, S. Dale, Saturday a tornado destroyed numerous homes and several people were killed. At Broken Bow the town was badly flooded Saturday with the highest water ever known. The loss to the city done on grades is $1,500 be- that to private citizens. Six i of bail fell the same day west of OfaUala and they have had more rain the past sixty days than in all of five jean, previous. The ground'is too wet to work. Small buildings and trees wre blown down and cellars flooded by the atom 8atarday in-CallaWyV The kasha of the Beaver overflowed near St Edward, the first time for many "years. At Pierce the low. lands were flooded and tamers are afraid the corn crop will be raised. A email tornado struck Mil lard Saturday about 3 o'clock, tearing Wp trees and SBjall buildings.

Where can a man go in all this vast universe to find more freedom freedom of thonght ; freedom of speech; freedom of press, and liberty of action than is afforded under the American fag wherever it loats. Bradshaw Republican. The History f English Literature. The book is divided Into ten chapters, each representing an age. Beginning with the first piece of English literature, through the periods of the twentieth century: The first age represents the growtn and change of literature, "From 449, A. D., to the Norman conquest, 1066." The second; "From the Norman con onaaL 1066. to Chaucer's death, 1400." The third: "From a uTC.. PlnnAAPf(l flAfittl- VUuUWa ww 1400. to the accession of Elizabeth, 1558." The fourth; "The literature of the age of Elizabeth." The fifth; "The Puritan Age." The sixth; "The age of the restora tion, 16G0-1700." The seventh; "The first forty years of the eighteenth century, 1700-1740." The eighth; "The second forty years of the eighteenth century, 1740 1780." . The ninth; "The age of romanticism, 1780-1837." Tenth; "The Victorian age, 1837." The book gives special attention to Wycliff, Chaucer, Tyndale, Sidney, Bacon, Spencer, Shakespere, Jonson, Milton, Dryden, Bunyan, Swift, Addi son, Pope, Goldsmith, DeFoe, Richard son, Fielding, Gibbon, Burke, Samuel Johnson, Cowper, Burns, Scott, Jane Austen, Wordsworth, Macauley, Carlyle, Ruskin, Arnold, DeQuincy, Dickens, Thackeray.George Eliot, Browning and Tennyson. There is a good half tone nurture, a short biography and a brief review of the principal works of each of the preceding writers. Anyone who is interested in a literary or historical course, should read "The History of English Literature," not only to learn the effect of different works on the age, but to become interested in the biographies of those writers and to learn the circumstances through which they lived. At the close of each chapter is a sum mary, required readings, and works for consultation and further study of the foregoing chapter. The author of the book shows a close study of literary and historical works in his description of the literature of others. The History of English Literature should be placed in the course of all higher institutions of learning, and should be read by all persons interested in writers. The book contains a "literary map" showing-by dot and name the residence location of the various literary celebri ties, thus at a glance making familiar to the eye, the home nests of some of the earth's best song-birds. In the writing of this book by Reuben Post Halleck, M. A. (Yale), as "a concise and interesting text-book of the history and development of English literature;" the auther has furnished to the general public, as well as to schools, colleges and universities, a book which has no equal all things considered. The publishers, the American Book Company, have done their part admir ably in placing the jewels of thought in so handsome a setting. In every parti cular of the book-maker's art, this edi tion is a model. William Jackson of Wabash, Indiana, railroad engineer, in a moment's time, condensed the practical wisdom of his calling into an act that doubtless saved a score of lives. Through no fault of his, his engine was within 300 feet of another coming towards him. He knew that a collision was inevitable, but he did his duty, stuck to his post, and, although the great engines were twisted and wrecked, only a few passengers were hurt, none of them seriously. So runs the account of the collision on the Big Four near Jonesborough, Ind., recently, and "Bill" Jackson was voted a hero by the passengers, who greeted each other in fervent hand-shakes after the danger. The big, grimy man, doubtless, in the crisis, was conscious of no unusual feel ing except that the sense of duty was quickened and intensified by the fact that the lives of others besides his own, his wife and babe, were in dire peril Among the high words in the language of men is "duty," and it properly sym bolizes all that is known of good and truth, concentrated in the successive acts that make up the common, every day occurrences of life, and "Bill" Jack son, the big, grimy engineer of Wabash, is one of the tens of thousands who are doing duty every day of their lives, faithfulness with them being as natural as to breathe. Mayob Tom Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio, surely has some of the elements of a good executive officer, and including the courage of his convictions. He ap plied to a judge of court for a writ of mandamus compelling some eight or nine county auditors sitting as a rail road tax assessment board, to call in railway officials to testify as to the true value of their properties. Johnson de clares that thus far they have been as sessed at from 12 to 18 per cent of their value, while the smaller property owners in Cleveland have been taxed at the rate of 60 per cent or more; he averred in his petition that the "auditors were corruptly influenced by favors to them by the railroad companies to influence their decision, and avoid the making of true and correct appraisements. If it shall be as it now seems, the corporations will find a foeman worthy of their steel, and the city of Cleveland a courageous friend of the people. Time is a character-tester. Coke ashes reduced to a fine powder, mixed with one-tenth part of slaked lime, and, after the addition of water, kneaded until the mass forms a stiff pasteis pressed to shape and sun-dried, making an excellent building material.

Before patronizing any traveling fakir ask yourself the following list of questions: Did he sit up with yon when you were sick? When your barn burned did his name appear on the list of your neighbors who brought you a new wagon? Was he one of the pall bearers when -death came to your home? Did he carry you on his back when yon were out of work so long five years ago? Does he pay taxes to support the schools of the town? Will he work for our own town early and late against every other town on the face of the earth? If he will not respond to all these requirements he certainly is not entitled to as much consideration as our local business men, for they help you in these particulars and more. Norfolk News. The Albion News suggests a rest room for country patrons, and says that the merchants of a town might unite and provide and maintain such a room. The Norfolk News says: "It would be a great convenience and comfort for out-of-town shoppers to have such a room at their disposal and the extent of the con veniences might only be limited by the funds at the disposal of the promoters. An attendant to care for children might be in line with other suggestions. The men can ordinarily take care of them selves, but women and children are some times at very much of a disadvantage when they have no intimate acquain tances in town or no place to stay except at the stores," The Woman's club of Columbus has been interested in a move ment similar to the above and may some day carry it out " A conference was held in Omaha last week of representatives of all the cream ery companies operating in Nebraska north of the Platte river, whereby a new corporation may decide to open in Omaha a creamery with a capacity of 3,000,000 pounds of butter per year, of an estimat ed value of $600,000. Informal eleotion of officers were made at which J. J.King of West Point was elected president and F. N. Stevenson of this city was elected manager. The proposed plans are that each of the constituent companies will have one member on the board of direc tors. The cream would all be shipped to Omaha where it would be churned, but collecting and skimming stations would be established throughout the state. The Omaha creamery would be erected at a cost of $20,000 exclusive of buildings. The intention is not to advance the price of milk or butter but to reduce the cost of production of the same. Paul Hagel and F. N. Stevenson were in attendance at the meeting but do not look on the plans now made as definite. One of our subscribers who is espe cially interested in the country road question, because he has a good many to travel over, has handed us a copy of the Burlington (Iowa) Hawk-Eye which con tains a lengthy article about country roads, of which we quote parts: "The Hawk-Eye is pleased to record the fact that a great deal of road work has been done this spring and is now being done, instead of putting it off until autumn, when the rains and the approach of freez ing weather make good work impossible. County and local road supervisors report that the rural mail service is help ing wonderfully to increase public interest-in road work. A much larger amount of volunteer work is obtainable than formerly. Another factor is the force of example. It is a very narrow minded man who will stay at home and refuse a helping hand when nearly all his neigh bore are rallying to secure good roads. Scattered here and there through the county are negligent road super visors. They need prodding. For what were they elected? None of them would employ a hand on his farm if the man neglected the work as the road super visor of that class neglects his official work. Just now. the road super visor is one of the most valuable officials in the whole republic" In connection with this article it might be well to tell of the excellent road the supervisors are mnVi"g south of town across the Loop. This week they will finish the laying of two feet of Mack soil and have purchased one acre of land near the Randall farm north of town from which they will haul alka-iaoil to put six inches on top.

Haafea Hhuelf I About 6 o'clock Saturday morning one j of the inmates of the county poor farm j five miles north of Columbus, discovered the body of Rudolph Guttwald, another inmate, hanging from the limb of a tree in the rear of the house. The overaeer, Mr. James, was immediately notified and he in turn notified the coroner. Rudolph Guttwald was born in Ger many about 57 years ago and has been a county charge for a year and a half. For several months he has been despond ent and has often threatened to take his life, so of ten in fact that little attention was paid to him. Some time between 2 and 4 a. m. Sat urday he was heard to leave his room and it i9 thought that he hung himself at that time. Very little is known of his antecedents but he had told the overseer that his wife had deserted him in Pennsylvania a number of years ago. taking with her their two children, a boy and girl. He also said he had a sister living in either Buffalo or Custer ennnty, who had turn ed him out without money or friends after he had worked for her husband several months. He had evidently made careful prep aration for his death for he had put on clean underclothing and a white shirt, while in his pocket was a prayer book and on his wrist was wound a crucifix and beads. Coroner Metz came down from Hum phrey Saturday noon and empanneled'a jury who returned a verdict of suicide. Tetcken' Institute. Wednesday evening Prof. Davisson, who is at the head of the Agricultural department of the State University, lec tured on "Ideal Education." He was listened to with great interest through out Prof. E. E. Blackraan, who is employed by the State Historical society in gath ering literature and relics for the state, lectured on the literature of the Indians. He told several legends that are typical of their life and habits. Prof. Blackman is anticipating a trip to our vicinity in about two months with Prof. Brewer, of Minnesota, who has a world-wide repu tation as the scientist who discovered the source of the Mississippi, the Mis souri and Yellowstono Park. The two will make a trip across the state in the interest of the history of the 6ame. Thursday evening Sup't Leavy invited the teachers and their friends to his home where a lawn party was enjoyed in sports and conversation. Refreshments were served to all present and the super intendent was entirely taken by surprise when he was presented with a handsome gold-headed cane, a gift from the teachers. There will be a prize of about $75 given at the next State teachers associa tion for the best speller. At each of the county institutes a list of 100 words have been given as an examination, the best speller from each county to contest at the State association. Miss Mable Por- terfield of Fullerton, a teacher in Cres ton, was the successful contestant in our county, spelling 96 of the 100 words. Prof. John Foley of Creston was elect ed president of the association and Miss Mary Cronin of Platte Center secretary. The meetings for the coming winter will be held in Creston, Lindsay and Platte 4 Center. CenuaemeeMent. The commencement exercises of St Francis Academy, this city, takes place next Monday, June 24.

Hopkins and family depart ed for their new home at Lincoln this morning, driving to Columbus in time' to take the B. & M. train at 7 o'clock.-5 Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins are among the' early settlers of Platte Center, having come here in March, 1883. He was the first harness dealer in the place, a business which be followed until a few years ago. He also kept a furniture store here for a time. They have not disposed of their property here, and still own a house nnd lot and the business block in which the Signal office is located. Mr. Hopkins has not yet determined what he will do in Lincoln. It is here that their home has been for many years, where their six youngest children first saw the light; where they have a host of warm. friends who will not soon forget them; and no matter to what part of the. world the fates may take them, we believe the fam ily will always have a warm corner in their hearts for Platte Center and her people.

Here's a suggestion for a holiday trip. Buy a round-trip ticket to San Fran cisco at the reduced rates which will be in effect on account of the Epworth League meeting in that city in July go west by way of Denver and Salt Lake City, past all the glorious mountain scenery of Colorado and Utah spend a few weeks in California come home via Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and Billings, Mont If you have time, stop off and see Yel lowstone Park. A month is sufficient for the entire trip. In that time you will see more than most people do in a life time. And the expense is almost unbelieva bly small. Write for a copy of the Burlington's Epworth League folder, which tells all about it gives you just the information you need about rates, routes, through cars, scenery, stop-overs, etc. J.
