'FMIEND& I The motiTes behind' the Schley agita tion of .the last few'siosths are'Bew.being diselosed. .The t)emocratie-litictans who are soaking so maoh noise in Con grass and elsewhere about the Schley Verdict do not seek "justice", for Schley. They seek merely a Presidential "possi- biiity " ror uwt. ,. . . Senator Jaaoea K. Jones,' who.pn.Mon day mored to give the thanks of Congress to Schley, openly admits .that he .does not expect hk resolution-to pas.. He wosid. be disappointed, donbtless, if it hoald psss. He "desires its defeat- in order that the'people may be harrowed with tales of a "Bepnblican conspiacy.,,. against the "hero of Santiago," In other words, as Mr. Felix Agnus of Baltimore has indicated plainly in bis Schley inter views, the Democracy needs a martyr in its politics and has picked Schley for the part. The evidence -. produced before the coartof inquiry in Admiral Schley's case was declared by his friends to. be entirely satisfactory. The judges were absolutely .unobjectionable. And the verdict was that Schley, while personally brave, was "vaeillatinff. dilatory, and lacking in enterprise.'' The .court wisely recommended that the whole controversy be dropped, and all wise Americans, who had no ulterior uses for Admiral Schley and his case, doabtless approved the recommendation. But a few of the same political marplots who put Admiral Dewey in a ridiculous position some two years ago refuse to drop it To them the Schley affair, is no question of "credit," or "justice," or the "honor of an officer." It is "political capital," and an "issue," possibly good for 1901, and surely useful for 1902 and 1903. It certainly seems as if Admiral Schley must have some real friends somewhere who will resent this attempt to make him a puppet of a little political clique, to whom his virtues aad his faults are as nothing and to whom he is valuable only as was George Dewey before George Dewey fell a victim to their silly-machinations. Chicago Inter-Ocean. The department of animal husbandry, University of Nebraska, is making a apodal effort to give a high grade of in struction to the students who enter the winter course in agriculture which be gins December 31, 1901. The leading beef breeds are so represented as to show the best types of beef cattle. These animals will be made use of for class room instruction. The fact that the steer winning the second prize in the grade' Hereford two-year-old class at the fat stock show recently held in Chicago, was bred and fed at the Nebraska Ex periment station, snows tnat cattle or. a high order are used for class room work in the school of agriculture, and also demonstrates that intelligent methods of feeding are practiced by the department of animal husbandry. The ring in which this steer took the second premium con tained forty animals. These animals were produced by the beet breeders of beef cattle in the United States and Canada, yet Nebraska succeeded in win ning the second place. This victory for the University of Nebraska school of agriculture speaks for itself. The in struction in the department of animal husbandry seeks to teach the Btudent how to select animals for the feed lot and how 'to feed them to the greatest possible profit. Instruction is also given in the breeding and feeding of sheep and swine. On November 22, a small lot of grade lambs raised on the University farm were sold in Omaha. They aver aged 98 pounds and brought $125 net. They had bead fed grain only -twenty days. Last year the pigs used for ex perimental purposes were sold when they were seven months old. They weighed 215 pounds each and were on the. market before winter weather set in, thus showing that it is possible to pro duce and feed swine for the market without having to carry them through the most severe season of the year. These are but a few illustrations of some of the practical experiments being car ried on at the University farm. Students in the school of agriculture become thor oughly familiar with the methods of feeding used in the experiments above named. Experiments are now being carried on to determine the relative value of wheat and corn as food stuffs for cattle and hogs, and in a short time there will be one for the purpose of finding out how small a grain ration can be used in fattening steers for the mar ket. It is confidently expected that a method of saving a considerable amount of grain will be devised as a result of this last experiment. Never in the his tory of the school of agriculture have such opportunities been offered for the instruction of farmers' sons as are being offered this year. Much good will result to the state if a large number of young men should avail" themselves of the ad vantages of the course. News Letter. These seems to be a growing tendency to look with favor apon the adoption of the postal savings-bank system in the United States.- The main arguments in its favor are very briefly stated by the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, as follows: la the first place, it ia claimed that the system will inspire confidence on the part of small depositors, since it will have back of it the resources of the fed eral government, and that, on account of the absolute security which it offers, it will prove an incentive to thrift In. the second place, it is claimed that the ays tern can be maintained "without any very great expense to the government, since it is only necessary to provide for an ex tension m each postoffice. If the system is pat into effect it will relieve in large measure the pressure .which is now brought to bear upon' the money order department ef the government and .what will be saved in thia direction will con tribute largely toward 'defraying the expenses' of the system proposed. Most of the European countries have adopted the system with good results and if it works aatawaetorfly abroad, there seems to be no.reason why it should not be put on trial st borne. .

Cataracts, granulated lids; weak watery eyes, scrofula in the eyes, sta phyloma or bnlging eyes, films, etc., are questions Dr. White, the magnetic healer and vitaopath physician, asks. , "If so, he requests you to call at 'the Clother Honse and receive a ireatment free of charge. The doctor cures without the use of knife, medicine or glasses, but with the wonderful power nature has blessed him with. No matter how bad your case msy be, there is hope for you in magnetic treatment; no charges made if the result is not satisfactory. Don't wait a day if you are having trouble with your eyes, but go and consult Dr. White. He has cured others. Why not you.' District 4ft aagTirinity. Patsy Haney and his sister Lizzie were visiting friends on the upland Sunday. A new boy baby last Saturday evening came to gladden the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Driunin at their residence, just northeast of the city. Sam is doing aa well as could be expected. Joe Acker and his brother Lawrence, who live on Fred. Stenger's farms, and accompanied by a son of Lawrence, returned Friday evening from a two weeks' visit with relatives and friends in Wisconsin. One dsy last week Taylor k Nelson of Columbus bought a nice bunch of stock steers from Fred Luckey.and also a few young steers from Aug. Kerkman. We were told that the whole lot were sold to a farmer south of the river, where they will be roughed through until grass comes in the spring. We could not learn the price paid. The new year draws on apace, and every sign indicates a bumper crop of corn and oats, the coming year, if the husbandman will only do his part. Good land is worth more per acre now than it was before the partial drouth last sum mer, and in this community, as well as every other place, there are farmers who will sell anything they own if they get their price. To those we will say: "Be careful what price you put upon your farm, for some one is npt to come along and buy it before you know it, then what are you to do? He who wishes to make a loan, secured by good land in Platte county, can now get the money for 5 per cent, the security being second only to government bonds. Therefore we say, stick to your farm, prepare the soil, set out fruit trees in the spring, cultivate them, keep stock away from them, then, when your frail old body refuses to keep up the animal heat, the farm will keep it comfortable within doors." . leal Istato Transfer.
