America ia a tolerably free country when yoa 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 say that it is thoroughly equipped for this sort of work. We desire that you remember us when you have work of this sort to be done. When you do the paying, you have the right to place the work. Special atten tion given to mail orders. Call on or address, M. K. Tuknek & Co, Journal Office, Columbus, Nebr. One hundred and ten deaths from cholera have occurred among the pil grims at Medina, Turkey. Boss Hammond has been reappointed as postmaster of Fremont. As to state pelitics, what does this signify? The supreme court of Illinois have handed down an opinion that a magnetic healer is a physician, and not a trained nurse, and is entitled to a license. J. C. Robbebts, formerly of David City, Nebr., has recently been appointed attorney general for Oklahoma. He has been in Oklahoma since 1889, locating in Kingfisher. The government has settled upon Fort Niobrara, Nebraska, as a fit place for the recuperation of soldiers, being in the center of one of the most healthful re gions of the west. Neil Bryant of Brooklyn, N. Y., one of the oldest of those who inaugurated black-face minstrelsy, died at his home Friday, aged 72 years. His real name was Cornelius O'Brien. W. M. Robertson of Norfolk is being mentioned by republicans for nomination as a party candidate for governor. Mr. Robertson is certainly an able man, a strong republican, and has a host of political friends in Nebraska. Judge Paul Jessen of Nebraska City is more than likely to be the republican candidate for governor of Nebraska. He was a former law partner of the late Senator Hayward and is now district judge for Cass and Otoe counties. A special from Fort Benton, Montana, says an extensive deposit of what ex perts classify as sapphire has been dis covered at H jghwood. The stones, when cut, poososoTa brilliant hue of-the char acter of the Yogo variety, but more smoky. Prince Henrt seems to be at heart considerable of an American. In reply to how he was enjoying his visit, he is reported as saying: "Ob, Tm having the time of my life. I don't count for much over there, yon know. They only use me to send to funerals." Tite Sprecher boom for governor is probably only a blind to lure John away from the congressional plum tree in the interest of Mr. Allen's law partner. Perhaps it will succeed, but up to the present time no one has been able to pall a great deal of wool over the eyes of the "tall Cottonwood from Schuyler." Stanton Picket. Our respects to the Albion Argus. The Journal endeavors always to ascer tain the facts be sure of the facts. If they are recent happenings, they consti tute news. We have no wish to twist the facts into anything but what they are. It is our opinion that the United States soldiers in the Philippines are doing necessary police duty there, and that the outcome will in due time be all right We may now look for a pardon for Cashier Gould, because if the governor's argument was good in the Bartley case the same applies to the Gould case. Didnt Gould "stand between the pa trons of the bank and ruin and disaster' for fifteen long years, and by clever for geries stave off the day of financial ruin to the people of Bellwood? Give him a pardon. Seward Blade. If it were not for the ironical question in the above paragraph, thelast sentence might be mistaken as the real sentiment of the editor. In this case the "nay, nay" of the scriptures would be better. It is stated semi-orlcially that the FJkhorn will expend $150,000 in improve- its upon its property in Norfolk this Among other things it is ex pected that a new eighteen or twenty stall round house will be built and the yard capacity greatly increased. The new extension into Boyd county will sake the Verdigris division about 120 miles long and no doubt will double the present heavy business of this branch. Large quantities of material are ragging through here daily.en route to Verdigris far use on the new work. CreightoB News. After the civil war General O. O.

Seattle Intelligencer. (xxxxxxx; BOER VICTORY. Ganeral Dakrty'f Captirs the In the bouse of commons at London Monday, amid great excitement, the reading of Lord Kitchener's telegram by the war secretary, Mr. 'Broderick, was listened to in deep silence, broken at first by Irish cheers. first dispatch. "Pretoria, Saturday, March 8. I greatly regret to have to send you bad news of Methuen. He was moving, with 900 mounted men, under Major Paris, and 300 infantry, four guns and a pom pom, from Wynbnrg toLichtenburgand was to meet Grenfell with 1,300 mounted men at Revirainfontein today. Yester day morning he was attacked by Delarey between Twebosch and Palmieteknill. The Boers charged on three sides. "Five hundred and fifty men nave come in at Marabogs and Kreepen. They were pursued by the Boers four miles from the scene of the action. They report that Methuen and Paris, with the guns, baggage, eta, were cap tured by the Boers. "Methuen when last seen was a pris oner. I have no details of the casualties and suggest delaying publication until I can send definite news. I think this sudden revival of activity on the part of Delarey is to draw off the troops press ing Dewet" A SECOND DISPATCH. A second dispatch, dated Sunday, March 9, from Lord Kitchner, gives the details: "Paris has come in at Kraaihan, with the remainder of the men. He reports that the column was moving in two par ties. One, with the ox wagons, left Two-boBch at 3 p. m. The other, with mnle wagons, started an hour later. Just before dawn the Boers attacked. Before reinforcements could reach them the rear guard broke. In the meantime a large number of Boers galloped up on both flanks. These, at first, were check ed by the flank parties, but the panic and stampede of the mules had begun and all the mule wagons with a terrible mixture of mounted men, rushed past the ox wagons. All efforts to check them were unavailing. Major Paris col lected forty men and occupied a position a mile in front of the ox wagons, which were then halted. After a gallant but useless defense the enemy rushed into the ox wagons and Methuen was wound ed in the thigh. Paris, being surrounded surrendered at 10 a. m. Methuen is still in the Boer camp." Among the killed are Lieutenants Ven ning and Nesham of the Royal artillery. It seems that Major Paris surrendered and subsequently was released by the Boers, as thedispatoh said he had reach ed Krasipan with the remainder of his men. No doubt but the waning hopes of the Boers and their friends will be strength ened by this show of pluck and endur ance on the part of the Boer forces. The Denver News prints the following from its Albuquerque,N. M. correspond ent: "You may quote me as saying that we can cure consumption in every stage," said Major Appel, chief surgeon at Fort Bayard. "I have never made that state ment, but we have started in demon strating it beyond a doubt" General McArthnr, who had been accompanied by Major Appel from the fort, endorsed the statement and declared be never had been so much astonished and pleased with anything in his life as the result of careful investigation of the work at the government soldiers' sanitarium at Fort Bayard. The main features of the treat ment that has proven so successful in the pure air of the elevated region are life out of doors, the mo9t carefully selected, nutritious diet and absolute rest in the case of reduced patients. A ctclone at Omaha Monday destroy ed some property in the shape of roofs and outbuildings in the neighborhood of Cuming and Twenty-fourth streets. The wind was accompanied with hail. The following telegram from Jackson, this state, will be of interest to Platte county readers. There are yet, we find, a number of men here who believe that there is coal below us that may be found in quantity to pay for the digging: "M. Cameron, the Des Moines, Iowa, mining expert, who has charge of the prospect ing for the Sioux Beet Syrup and Pre serving company, which has leased 1,000 acres of coal land in this vicinity, reports he struck a vein of coal a foot and a half thick seventy feet down, three miles southwest He says this is much better than he expected, as he did not look for the first vein to be more than a few inches thick. He says the third vein will surely be sufficiently large to justify mining. The people of Jackson are greatly excited over the prospect and moves are already being made to secure leases of laud for coal digging." MIIIUIIHMIIalllimHHWIIMHIH1IWIIiati San? ear$ JUt.

Mayor McVkker of Blairsburg pleaded guilty Friday in the TJ. 8. court at Fort Dodge to selling liquor without a govern ment license. He sold beer under the label of "hop cream" and used bis official position to violate the mulct law in a prohibition town. He was fined $100 and costs. So runs the news item in the dailies. It is not stated whether Iowa baa a Liquor Dealers' protective league banded together to make fines and dam ages easy of payment eta, but the item goes to the extent of illustrating the fact that Uncle Samuel, in the state of Iowa, is respected when he reaches out for a willful and malicious violator of his requirements. Mayor McVicker may be necessitated to believe that it will be better for him not to let his greed for money lead him into the violation of law, even if he is mayor. A special to the Omaha Bee rrom St Paul, Nebraska, says: There is consid erable adverse comment here over the pardon by Governor Savage of Otto War wick, sentenced to eight years' imprison ment in the penitentiary for the robbery oftheBoelusbank. The robbery netted Warwick and his companion about $1,300. The safe was blown and the robbers eluded the officers for several months. Warwick was the older of the two and considered the leader. Until the notice of pardon was received by the clerk of the court, no one here had any intima tion that an effort was being made to secure his pardon.
