Bee mer of Cuming county as warden of the state penitentiary. Nebbaskans were enjoying fine winter weather last week as compared with that experienced in some of the eastern states. At Saratoga, N. Y., the mercury went as low as 30 below zero. Govebnob Savage has filed a com plaint against Grainger Broa, charging them with selling adulterated cider. With the complaint is the analysis of State Chemist Nelson which shows that the cider was not pure. The board of education of Philadelphia one day last week ordered the temporary closing of four school houses on account of the coal supply becoming exhausted. That appears almost like starving' to death in a land of plenty. Geobge G. Fcbnas, son of ex-Governor Bobert Furnas, has disappeared from his home in Lincoln and police authorities have been busy searching for him since Friday. Financial troubles are thought to have partially unbalanced his mind. It seems strange that two such power ful nations as Great Britain and Ger many should resort to the destruction of the Venezuelan war vessels in the hope of collecting an alleged damage claim amounting to only a few million dollars. John Williams and wife of Phila delphia, Pa., charged with poisoning two of their children in order to collect insurance on their lives, were one day last week committed to jail to await the action of the grand jury. That is cer tainly a serious charge. The highest price ever paid for a pacing horse occurred one day last week when M. W. Savage, president of the International Stock Food company of Minneapolis became 'the owner of Dan Patch, paying for him the princely sum of $60,000. He is six years old and has a record of 1:59 J4. Gebmaky at the present time is expe riencing extremely cold weather which in connection with the hard times, is causing much suffering. Many persons have been frozen to death in the western industrial provinces and also in the northeastern provinces, according to recent cablegrams. The Nebraska Experiment Station has just issued Bulletin No. 75. This is a condensed report on the experiments in feeding animals foe the past three years. The bulletin may be obtained free of cost by residents of the state, upon writing to the Agricultural Exper iment Station, Lincoln, Nebraska. Mrs. Kinuak of Hiawatha, Kansas, was exhibiting apples larger than wal nuts last week that were picked off a tree on John Walker's farm near Padonia just before the late cold spell. The tree was loaded with apples in June and this is the second crop for this year. They were said to be well de .-eloped and good to eat. The National Stock Association will meet in Kansas City on January 13th, to remain in session four days. Following the meeting the National Wool Growers Association will meet in annual session. Nearly all the railways have granted a rote of one fare plus two dollars for the round trip, while the remainder have reduced their rates. Senator Dietrich is anxious that the Nebraska legislature shall make a liberal appropriation during its forthcoming session for the establishment of an ex perimental farm in the western or semi arid portion of the state. The depart ment of Agriculture at Washington would co-operate with the University in the study of the improvement in that district. The Indianapolis Journal says no more damaging testimony against the anthra cite coal operators has been adduced than that of a 12-year-old boy who pro duced due bills showing that he worked several years at 4 cents an hour and was docked every cent of his pay on account 'of an old debt against his father, who bad been killed ia the mines. A corpo ration that would be guilty of such con duct as that would violate any law, ' human or divine. Mas. U. S. Grant died at her residenoe ia Washington, D. C, Sunday evening from bronchitis which affected the heart. Mrs. Grant was 77 years old. When on the old Dent farm in Bellevue, jast below the city of St Louis, which her father Colonel Dent, owned, she met ' her future husband. He was stationed . in Jefferson barracks. He fell in love with her, as even in her girlhood days her beauty was known for miles around the old farm. She was married to the General, then Captain Grant, in 188. President Harlan of Lake Forest university, Chicago, announced Wednes day that the university is to have a lectureship which will be for this coun try what the famous Bampton lectures have been for England. A prize of $6,000 is to be awarded the author of the heat book "On the connection, relation and mutual bearing of any practical science, or the history of oar race, or the facte in any department of knowledge, with aad upon the Christian religion." The competition is open to all scholars. Maaascripts must be submitted to Pres ident Harlan on or before Jane 1, 1905. OUT OF DEBT TO THE WORLD. It appears that at last the United States is virtually out of debt to the out side world. As the treasury department figures it out, only about $16,000,000 of the interest-bearing bonds of the United States are held abroad, and three-fourths of this amount is held by foreign insur ance companies which'are doing business in this country, and are deposited here in the different states for the protection of American policy holders. Making this deduction, less than $4,000,000 of the interest-bearing debt of the United States government is actually held out aide of the country. It is safe to say that no other country in the world, with the possible exception of France, can show each an exhibit as this. The improvement of the United States in this respect has been striking in recent years. The government's interest-bearing debt, a large part of which was held in Europe, was at its highest at the close of the civil war, when it stood around the $2,400,000,000 mark. There was a gradual reduction afterward in the bur den of the debt for many years by the payment and cancellation of some of the bonds and by the funding of others at lower rates of interest. The total annual interest charge when at its highest at the end of the civil war was over $150,- 000,000, while now it is about $29,000,000, and the aggregate of the debt has been cut to about $930,000,000. The present interest-bearing burden of the govern ment is only a little over a third of what it was a third of a century ago, while the interest charge is less than a fifth of what it was then. The debt per capita, interest and noninterest bearing, in the aggregate, which was $79 when at its highest at the end of the war of 1861-65, is now about $13, and the per capita of the interest charge, which was $4.dU, is 35 cents now. Of course, no other great country in the world has anything like this record of debt reduction at this time or in any other time. All the other great nations are increasing their debt burdens, for even England, which was cutting down its indebtedness previous to 1899, has added hundreds of millions to its since as a consequence of the Boer war. The reduction in the United States has been due to the prosperity of the country and to the determination to cut down the obligations to their lowest practicable point as soon as possible. Although the national debt has been utilized as a basis for banking since 1363, the theory that such a debt was a national blessing never found many adherents in this country. The manner in which the government's indebtedness has been reduced and in which practically the whole of it has been absorbed by Americans furnishes an evidence of national sanity and solvency which is altogether unparalleled in the world's annals. Globe Democrat. The Caeae et Vice. Vice Is due chiefly to inattention; not Ignorance, but thoughtlessness. "I see the better and approve, yet I pursue the worse." In this case knowledge is not absent, but defective! It is on the margin instead of in the focus of con- sciousness. In the language of physio logical psychology a present appetite presents its claims on great billows of nerve commotion which come rolling in with all the tang and pungency which is the characteristic mark of immediate peripheral excitation. The future con sequences of the gratification of tliat appetite, on the contrary, are represent ed by the tiny, faint, feeble waves which flow over from some other brain center, excited long ago, when the con nection of this particular cause with its natural effect was first experienced. In such an unequal contest between powerful vibrations shot swift and straight along the tingling nerves from the seat of immediate peripheral com motion and the meager, measured flow of faded impressions whose initial ve locity and force were long since spent what wonder that the remote effect seems dim, vague and unreal, and that the immediate gratification of the in sistent, clamorous appetite or passion wins the day!-William De Witt Hyde In Atlantic. The David City Banner says the miss ing Lillie blood hound was found Tues day. Last week County Attorney Wall ing inserted an advertisement in the Banner for the hound and it brought the desired result. Sunday morning John Meysenburg, sn, picked up his paper to read the county news and read this advertisement. He called Mr. Walling up by phone and informed him that a hound answering the description in the advertisement came to his place about six weeks ago. After it remained there for a couple of weeks, thinking it was not any account, he ordered his hired man to shoot it Tuesday Mr. Heath went down to examine the corpse and identified it as being the missing hound. This furnishes no new clew to the murder of Mr. Lillie but settles the question which prevailed that the hound had been poisoned. On the day before the murder was committed three of the dogs got out of the pen and this one followed some gentleman living in the valley home from town and a few days later it went to Mr. Meysenburg's. Telegraphic news from London da ted Monday, says: MAn expressed desire for a peaceful settlement of the diffi culties has been received in London from the Venezuelan government. The asso ciated press has reason to believe that orders will be, or have been, sent to the British commander in Venezuelan wa ters to take no further aggressive action at present, pending a decision being ar rived at on the proposition for arbitra tion." From Caracas, Venezuela, word comes: "Inaction reigns in government circles here. The officials do not know what to do and are depending entirely upon the United States to assist them." From Berlin: "The foreign office today stated that Italy would participate in the blockade by agreement with the allies and that a portion of the coast would be assigned to Italian ships. The proceedings against Venezuela thus be come in every respect tripartite.'' According to a dispatch received by the state department at Washington from U. 8. Minister Bowen one day hut week, President Castro has requested him to ask Germany and Great Britain that the difficulties arising out of alleged damages and injuries to German and British subjects during'the civil wars in Venezuela be submitted to arbitration. The gunboat Marietta has left Cnraooa for LaGaayra for the purpose of protect ing American interests in the present daSeultise between Venezuela and Euro- SOME PLAIN TRUTHS IF REPUBLICANS ARE TO WIN, tHCY MUST GET TOGETHER. Me Frieca aai fcet Dean IMm Da AM That Is War AttaveJdaa; ta It Is Indeed "The Plain Troth Abes the Tariff" that Is told In an editorial under this beading that appears la the latest Issue of the Iron and Steel Bulletin. And It Is full time the troth were told, full tune that certain Influ ential Republicans In and out of con gressstatesmen, editors and" business men claiming to be Bepubucane should comprehend to its full signifi cance the fact that their course la re gard to tariff revision and reciprocity leads straight to the downfall of the protective policy and all that Js there in Involved. In terse terms the Bulle tin makes this perfectly clear. It urges that the clamor for a downward revision of the DIngley tariff and for special reductions of duty rates by means of trade treaties ought to have been left to the Democrats. Certainly, it should not have come from Repub licans. There are too many producers who want the tariff taken from some other fellow's product in order that they may reap an advantage through in creased sales In foreign markets. There are too many producers in sisting upon an extension of the list of free raw materials, but unwilling to forego protection on their 'finished products. ' ' . In short, there are too many half hearted, inconsistent protectionists, far too many for the good of the Repub lican party and the maintenance of the protection policy. They are to be found holding seats in both branches of congress, to which they were elected on protection plat forms by protectionist constituencies. They are to be found even higher up in national affairs. They are to be found In control of the editorial expression of .newspapers professing to stand for straight Repub licanism. Right and true Is the plain speech of the Bulletin on this point namely, that "the result of this partial surrender of the protective principle" Is seen today In the development of "the Iowa Ideas" and In the open abandonment of sound protectionist principles by Republican nominees for congress hi various parts of the country, notably In Massachu setts. What wonder, then, that "many Republican voters have been led into the quicksand of doubt and unbelief on the question of protection?" "If the principle of protection Is to be maintained In this country. If the Ding ley tariff Is to be saved from mutila tion by its professed friends and If the business of the nation Is to be snared the dreadful shock of panic and calam ity, there must be an awakening to the dangers of the situation and a return to the safe, certain basis of sound eco nomic doctrine. All talk of tariff revision at this time or in the near future must be dropped by Republicans. Let the Democrats have a monopoly of that kind of talk. They can be relied upon to talk tariff revision into disrepute and repudiation. It is Republican talk that keeps It alive. Drop it! The voters of this country, as the Bulletin wisely says, must be led to understand that the adoption of a gen eral policy of reciprocity implies a re duction of tariff duties, a relaxation of the principle and policy of protection. Democrats and free traders fully com prehend this plain fact. The concluding paragraph of the Bulletin's earnest appeal should be read and taken home to himself by every Republican In the bind: "Forewarned Is forearmed. All sin cere protectionists everywhere should rally to the support of the protective policy and the DIngley tariff at the approaching congressional elections. Their best efforts are needed to pre vent a free trade victory in Novem ber. Nor should this activity In de fense of protection end with the No vember elections. A campaign of edu cation should be commenced Immedi ately. Protection literature of the most uncompromising character should be placed in the hands of every voter. The DIngley tariff can be saved from the touch of unfriendly hands and a serious business reaction can be avert ed If a prompt and Intelligent appeal la at once made to the common sense of the American people." The real weakness In the Repub lican line, the real peril of the situation as It exists today. Is distinctly dis closed In the above statement A cam paign of education has not been car ried on. Protection literature of the most uncompromising character has not been placed in the hands of every voter. The American Protective Tariff league has to the extent of Its re sources carried on a campaign of edu cation, and as far as its funds per mitted has placed in the hands of voters protection literature of the most uncompromising character. Witness its extensive distribution of No. 75t Senator GalHnger's great speech, "Prosperity Is the Issue," and kindred documents. What it could do has been done. The league Is In perpetual ses sion. Its work Is continuous and un ending. But there Is more to do, much more. A presidential election Is but two years away. If the Republican party is to recover In 1901 the ground lost by backsliding and chasing off Into the crooked paths of revision and reciprocity, and If It Is to form an un broken line of battle against the ene mies of protection and prosperity, it must be up and stirring.

Coolidge returned last week from Lead, South Dakota, where she has been visiting her sons since October.' Mr. Coolidge is still there and' will' remain for some time. In an interview with C. J. Garlow,, who has just returned from a business trip to southeastern Georgia and Florida, says that he spent several days at Fitz gerald, Ga., and while there met W. J.' Thurston and wife, Ed. Thurston and wife and A. M. Jennings, all former res-' idents of this city. W. J. Thurston has grown quite fleshy and his wife seems is spry as a girl. They live in the city and have a nice home and' are perfectly' happy. Mr. Thurston believes the cli mate has prolonged his life and health.' His son, Ed., owns an interest in a fine barber shop and is doing well; is married and owns bis home and has a very lovely wife and babe. Mr. Jennings owns and' operates a small fruit farm and is doing welL He, also, has grown fleshier since living there. Mr. Jennings says that if the old soldiers of Platte county only knew the comforts in store for them in that country they would not remain here. He says a man with a small capital can make more and live easier from an invest ment there than any place he knows of,t Mr. Garlow also met other Nebraskans and many from other northern states and every one seemed happy, contented and doing well Seven years ago the town and colony lands were surveyed in, a wilderness, and today Fitzgerald is a city of between 4,000 and 5,000 with many fine brick buildings and two banks with, entire marble fronts and another one is about to be built The city is beautifully laid out has nice streets and walks and many churches, good schools and several, factories, the largest being a cotton, factory. Says the lands are being rap idly cleared and cultivated to cotton)1 corn, fruits and all sorts of berries and garden vegetables. The population of the city is made up of Americans from many states, though the negro has a strong representation, but nothing to compare with other cities and communi ties, as it was the intention to keep the negro out of the colony, but he's there to stay. Real estate in the city is about the same price as here, and lands in the country all the way from f20 to $50 per1 acre, depending upon location and state of improvement, though some good lands can be bought for $10 and $15 per acre without improvements. Mr. Garlow says he met several prominent politicians and office holders in Alabama, Georgia and Florida (principally democrats) and was surprised to learn the almost universal kindness expressed for McKinley, some of the bitterest democrats could not say enough in his praise. Some of these parties admitted that their interests were with the republican party, but the great question is the negro, that is first and above all and could that great problem be solved, and the negro ont of the way, the south would not be democratic. Much excitement prevailed over the appointment of a negro postmaster in North Carolina and the whites, regard less of politics, are very bitter toward Roosevelt The former residents of this city desired to be remembered to their old-time friends and neighborsu - ScaatiaToUs- The Juniors have ordered class pins and are expecting them before Christmas.
