After considerable debate the ship subsidy bill passed the senate Monday by a vote of 42 to 31. It is said that within a few daya A. F. Enoa of the Picket will be in charge of the Stanton postoffice. At the Ryan k Sons' sale at Omaha, Thursday, the first three head of Short horns sold brought a total of $1310. The net earnings of the railroads in Nebraska are about $8,000,000 yearly and that of the manufactures $50,000,000. Tan recent cold weather and the snow hare been the cause of loss of life, both sen and beasts, in the Dakotas and in An Iowa saloon keeperand his bonds men are being sued for $2,986.78, by the father of a minor son, for selling the son intoxicating liquor. It is reported from Constantinople that the town of Kyankari, northeast of Angora, in Asia Minor, was destroyed by as earthquake March 12. The town had 20,000 inhabitants. It seems that it is a crime to convert the school money in the state treasury; but the money may be placed at interest sad the interest pocketed by a "reform" trsssuier with perfect impunity. Schuyler Sub. The populist editors are to have a estisg at Lincoln today. They do not wish to be swallowed altogether by the democracy. They at least hare individ ual life enough remaining to kick while ' they are going down. It is rumored that the Union Pacific have secured the St. Joseph k Grand Island railroad, after a bitter fight for more than a year. It is one of the pio neer roads in the west, and an important acquisition for the Union Pacific. A township in Kansas goes into court asking the privilege of liquidating now a a bonded indebtedness of $23,000, con tracted in 1887, due in 30 years from date at 6 per cent. The decision of the court may make interesting reading for the tax payers, if not for attorneys. Talking from the pulpit during a re vival meeting at white Cloud, Kansas, aad while adjuring his hearers to pre pare for death, because they know not the moment when they may be sum moned, Bev. J. Bnsscman was stricken with paralysis, and the stroke may prove fatal. The Portuguese are occasionally ad ding their mite to the progress of the world. Government troops recently attacked twelve strongholds of the slave traders, near Pemba bay, Portuguese East Africa, aad after a desperate and prolonged fight, drove out the traders aad liberated 700 slaves. Hurrah for little Portugal Isabwtch as the state of Nebraaka paid in full the cost of the bond given by ex-state treasurer Meserve, it would seem that the state really had the most right to the interest money. Having practically admitted that he took the interest money, he should now step up aad plead guilty and let the matter be settled up as soon as possible. Blair Pilot. At St. Petersburg Sunday there was a students' riot in which more than ten thousand people participated. Probably MP arrests were made.

Jon Okxsby and Henry Wilson of Omaha are organizing a company to incorporate under the name or ine nki Goat-Growing company. The following particulars we clip from the Omaha Bss: "Only fools ana maws work," said Ormaby in discussing the nmiML "Wo have a scheme tnat wiu make us rich. Our plan is to buy 400 acres of land near Florence, which we caa secure for about $30 an acre. It is not such fine land, but will make good onciitf. On una we miena u wra 3000 goata as a starter. They will not be the common, back-alley variety, due high-grade animals. After a long inves tigation ws have decided to mix Angora and Siberian goats. The former have wonderful coats, but are small. The East India variety will make up for this, belay rery large, while their drawback is the coarse tecture of their hair. Our revenue will come from selling milk, hair, fur and manure. We expect also to be able to develop the least pices of farming land for market gardening pur poses iin Nebraska." It would seem that it is best, in any case, to obey the laws of the land. When men are elected, and it becomes their duty as servants of the public, to do their best to enforce the laws they are sworn to execute, they should con sider the possible results of the non enforcement of the law. Take, for instance, the Carrie Nation episode in KsnriT The decision of the Kansas supreme court is that the cities where she used her hatchet with auch destruc tive results, are liable to pay the hotel men and saloon keepers for the damage done to their property; that because property is used in violation of law is no warrant for its destruction by some unauthorized person. Judge Baxter, of the criminal 'court of Douglas county, has held that under the law the state had no claim on the interest derived from the permanent school fund, and, while it is practically admitted that Meserve got $3,000 from the one bank in South Omaha, he is turned loose. It is said that in his four years' term be got about $00,000 of in terest, all told, and the state paid for his bond. Great is reform and great are the reformers! No wonder that Meserve is at the head of a bank. Blair Pilot. The Dsutschland, from New York March 11, having on board Prince Henry of Prussia and his suite, passed the 8rilly islands at 830 Monday morning. The steamer arrived at Plymouth, Eng land at 1230 p. nu, and proceeded for Cherburg and Hamburg. The voyage waa nlaaannt and uneventful. The nrinee is reported as saying: "I have had a charming time, and geographically have seen a third of the United States. Ism glad, of course, to get home." WauAX Ijeese, formerly attorney general of Nebraska, died Friday even ing at his home in Lincoln, aged 62 vears. He had Buffered for a month with nervous prostration. IcftUkaa City Csaraitisa. Saturday night, delegates elect to the republican city convention met at the council chamber to nominate a city ticket. The meeting was called to order by Chairman C.C. Gray of the central com mittee, after which John Wiggins waa elected chairman and C. C. Sheldon, secretary. No committee on credentials waa ap pointed, but instead, a motion prevailed that a list of accredited delegates be read, and if there be no objections, the delegates be declared entitled to seats in the convention.

The iiiynnn appointed E.C.Hockenberger and M.K. Turner aa committee for the purpose, who afterwards reported the action of the democratic convention, in the nomi nation of W. N. Hensley.

On the proposition in the state senate, to place with Lieutenant Governor Cams the naming of the committees, Senator Turner expressed -the -following senti ments:' It is the correct rule for a leg islator to determine each question before him upon its merits. The committees of the senate are its organs, because it is through these or by these that' the legis lative functions, are exercised.1 Consid ered ss an entirety, the committees should be of like mind with the senate. It might veiy readily happen that the lieutenant governor would not represent the will of the senate, but the contrary. Why should he name the committees the most important act in the organiza tion of the senate? It is not a question of mere personal like or dislike for him whom the constitution makes the pre siding officer, but it is s question whether the senate should abrogate an inherent right, and establish or continue a bad precedent The principle is the same no matter who occupies the chair." Mweoti 'tae fcy GamMera. Habitual gamblers are perhaps tha most superstitious persons In the world. They invariably carry little portable mascots in their pockets, and it would be impossible to persuade them to en ter Into a game of chance If, by some Inadvertence, their mascots were not with them. Lumps of lead, coins, anake rattles, locks of hair, coals, bits of bone, hairpins a pile of these things would be shown If the players In any stiff poker game were required to re veal their mascots. And each amulet has a story con nected with It. A bullet for instance, which one man carries was extracted from the brain of a woman who killed herself on his account A gold hairpin that Is the mascot of a broker fell from a lady's hair In a theater aisle.

Mawalea aa tke Stork, Once, when Joining a shooting party in England, the German emperor hap pened to see a. magpie fly right over his head. Turning round to the Duke of Cambridge, who was with the party, his majesty said: "I have Just seen a magpie. Now, I'm not a particularly superstitious kind of a man, but I don't like to tumble across these wretched birds, I don't, Indeed." The duke laughed and said cheerful ly: "Does your majesty know our old saying concerning the superstition about magpies? One for sorrow, two for mirth, three for a wedding, four for a birth.' Your majesty must look round for a second or a third or a fourth mag pie." "Oh, Indeed!" thoughtfully replied the kaiser. "A fourth magpie means a birth, does It? But supposing there Is a fifth magpie, what then?" "If you see a fifth magpie," answered the duke, very solemnly, "It means twins!" TmttVm Bmmm This is the way that Adellna Pattl Is said to have at one time summed up her good points in accounting for her success on the operatic stage: "I am not beautiful, but I am pretty; that'a one.
