Sterling Morton monument expect to have the work completed for dedication on Arbor day, one year hence. At the election, in Peoria, lit, last weak the republicans were sncceaafal by a majority of 2,000, which is a reversal of a democratic majority two years ago. The amount of U.S. 3 and 4 percent bonds exchanged-np to last week for 2 per cent consols under the recent offer of the secretary of the treasury is $43,116,350. Two circuses are already billed for Nebraska City, and the probability of a third, and they are to have a street fair. A local paper says there will be some thing doing in the old town this summer. Fire broke out at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon in Fairbury, Nebr., in Newman k Bones' lumber yard, burning the entire block with the exception of the old court house, occupied by Graff's restaurant. Loss $175,000. It appears that ex-President Grover Cleveland and William J. Bryan are not going to lie side by side in the same political bed. The latter says that Mr. Cleveland betrayed his party and dis graced himself. The 4-year-old girl of William Christie, living eight miles west of Grant, Nebr., died Saturday night from the bite of a rattlesnake. Two physicians were in attendance, the usual remedies applied, but the little one's life could not be saved. Axdbew Cabkeoie has made the 'mag nanimous gift of $600,000 to the Tus kegee normal and industrial institute of Alabama to which Booker T. Washing ton, the noted colored educator, is devot ing his beet efforts to the uplifting of his race. The commissioners of Madison county held a special session last week which resulted in a call being made for a special election to be held May 26, where the proposition to bond the county in the sum of $40,000 for steel bridges and road grading will be submitted to the people. Before sailing for Scotland Saturday last Andrew Carnegie donated $1,500,000 for a temple of peace for The Hague. The gift was made through Baron Gevers, the minister of the Netherlands, and was made with the understanding that Holland will be responsible for its administration. The Bank of Rogers was burglarized Friday night or Saturday morning. Entrance was made through P. Vetter'a general merchandise store and nitro glycerine was used for blowing the safe. The thieves secured $2200 in cash and as yet there is no clue to the cracksmen. The bank was fully insured. The Osceola Record, the oldest repub lican paper in Polk county has again changed hands, and Wilber M. Johnston, late editor of the Folk county Republi can will assume full charge on the first day of May, under a contract to buy. H. H. Campbell who is the postmaster, is a brother-in-law of Governor. John H. Mickey. The state of Kansas collects annually a firemen's relief fund by a tax on the premium receipts of each fire insurance company, doing business in the state, in towns which have regularly organized fire departments with equipment of a greater value than $1,000. The fund ia applied to the relief of firemen who are injured in the line of duty. The fund for the present year, which has just been distributed, amounts to $24204.70. W. R. Hampden, a California inventor of a great fuel saver in the way of heat ing stoves and cooking ranges and stoves, is negotiating with Omaha busi aess men to the end that they join with him ia building a plant to manufacture his stoves and ranges. Mr. Hampden says his attention was principally direct ' ad to the need of a fuel saver by reading of cornstalk faeL Hs claims for his stove that it will economize in fuel to the extent of 'saving 60 per cent of that con sumed by the ordinary stove. He pro poses to organize a company with $300, 000 capital HAsnxorox, this state, boasts of hav ing the only wonian harness maker in the world in the person of Mrs. Mary D. Lydick. It is said that she has just finished and has on exhibition a riding bridle which she has made for a present to President Roosevelt The lady has worked at this bridle at odd times dur ing the winter. It is made of russet leather and ia complete with martingales, aOver bit, United States rosettes and spots, nickel buckles and stitched with silk and,linen. The bit was a present from a Dee Moines company and the spots and bnckles from an Omaha house. The electrical display aad the illumi nations are to surpass even those which have made San Francisco famous during the Knights of Pythias encampment in 1902, aad were considered ths finest ever sees. It win be the grandest sight to beheld the vast hosts of ths veterai marching through the etreete of Saa Francisco, beneath a canopy of flowers, aad under garlands and domes woven of myriads of iscandescent electric lights, taming night into day and siaaiag ths i one of fairyland. For ths illurai- i sad the decoration, though mack of it ia owned by the city and is givea free of 'east, aad ths flowers are donated, tte legislature has appropriated $24000 1st skat purpose, aad the citireas expert ia rams three times as mack by volaa- itribatissv to defray the cost of ia holiday garb.

All the indebtedness is on the bridges and the waterworks. The bond ed indebtedness of these are, Loup bridge $30,000, Platte bridge $8,000 and city waterworks $37,500. The city ofi cials have been looking ahead to the paying off of these debts of the city, and at the present rate of accumulation of fands, in ten years from date of issuing the waterworks funding bond, which was given March 99, the city will pay off $7,500. The Norfolk News remarks "largely responsible for this excellent showing is undoubtedly the fact that York and Norfolk have the lightest salary list for rity oSciala." Columbus has been run on very economical principles, from the mayor who draws $50 a year, down through all the officers, none receive what is rightfully due a working man, and it is better thus, as the city will have a class of men who work for the best interests of the community. The coundlmen receive but $25 a year, treas urer $150, clerk $480, water commis sioner $400, city attorney $175, water engineer $50 a month, assistant engineer $45 a month, chief of police $70 per month, two extra police $65 per month, road overseer $2 per day. Columbus ia growing, and any busi ness man who contemplates a change could not invest in safer property than our city can offer. Every indication points to a prosperous future, good railroad service, location and substantial, enterprising business men are the fac tions which build up any city, and we have them. The 1900 census report showing Columbus to be a city of 3J522 population ia not true today, for Colum bus has built many homes since then and yet there is a demand for many more. TO GET OUT OF DEBT. It ia believed that though the appro priations of the state legislature exceed those made at any former session by approximately $740,000 for the next two years, the state is now for the first in a long time on a debt-paying basis. The estimate places the receipts for ths biennium at $2,079,068, and the 2-mill levy is expected to bring in $370, 000. The estimate for an increased assessment of more than 3 billions and an increase of $45,000 in the insurance tax places the total receipts at $319,068 for the general fund. The total for the appropriations and the university fund is $3,650,000, although this may vary $50,000 more or leas. The total uncon ditional appropriation for the state uni versity is $824,000. Subtracted from the lump sum, $3,650,000, this leaves a bal ance of $2326.000. When this is taken from the total income there will remain $493,068. The auditor estimates that $143,068 in taxes may not be collected. This leaves a balance of $350,000. Inter est on the state debt will amount to $150,000 and this deducted from the bal ance on hand will leave $200,000 to be applied to the reduction of the principal. Thus the legislature has by the pas sage of a new revenue law, there ia every reason to believe, put the state in the way of getting out of debt Fremont Tribune. Reports received at Washington, D. C, from homesteaders, -cattlemen and others interested in the development of the semiarid lands of the west show that splendid results are being obtained from brome grass. The .department .of agri culture has been experimenting for years to secure some form of forage plant or grass that would grow in the regions where the rainfall is light. It has long been the hope of officials to secure some grass of this character that would solve the public range problem, and they now express considerable confidence' that the problem ia in a fair way of being solved. The brome grass has been known in Europe for more than a century, its home being in Hungary, where it has established a reputation for withstand ing severe droughts. In 1884 the agents of the department of agriculture secured seed of the grass and began experiment ing with it in this country. The first efforts were not very successful, but in the last few years better results have been secured, and there are now indica tions that its general adoption will apread rapidly over the semiarid regions. Kanaas has led in the experiments with the new grass, more than 100 farmers and stock raisers having punted con- eiderable areas within the last year. Reports from these sources show that the grass grows rapidly and luxuriantly aad furniehes a pasture of wonderful value to the farmers in dry regions. All kinds of stock eat it with relieh, and ex periments show that it is richer than timothy in flesh-forming ingredients. It is hardy, and is not injured by severe spring and fall frosts, when once firmly established. "The general seeding of the dry uplands in western Kinase and Ne braska with this grass," said Mr. Wilson, secretary of agriculture, "will solve the range problem, and, incidentally, aolve the meat problem. There will be no more exorbitant prices for beef when the ranges of the west are covered with a grass that will withstand tbe drouth and fsrsiah forage from early spring until lateinthefalL" Nebraska put forth every effort to entertain President Roosevelt during his three days visit in ths state and every where he went arrangements had been carried put for his pleasure and comfort. Owing' to stops not on ths original time schedule ths presidential party was a trifle late ia reaching Grand Island, they were dae at 5:02 Sunday The aaoSeial program for Saaday was carried oat without material ehsage, aotwithstawdiwg the high wind aad dsass dast clouds that mads out-of-doors expeditions less attractive than they wosJd otherwise have been. Dr.H. C. Miller, as chaimaa of ths committee, delicately informed the president that he would be welcomed at any church ha might prefer, whereupon he replied:, "I am "yoar guest." "Very well, thea, Mr. President," was the reply, MI shall take yoa.to the Episcopal church, whieh I attend and ia whose choir my ohttdrea sing." The president acquiesced sad away he went. In the afternoon as pre viously arranged the presidest with a few others took a horseback ride to the Tay lor ranch. The ride was marred by taa wind and dust, but otherwise was quits enjoyable. The president kept hie horse on a canter and led -the others a stiff pace. In Lincoln, Hastings, Fremont and Omaha as well as other towns, thousands of people congregated to get a glimpse of the chief executive, but the above named towns were the only plasas where stops were made. Taa Fremont Herald (dem) says: "Mr. Bryan's Commoner brings oat as ths second in his list of eligiblss to the presidency James Marshall Head, of Nashville, Tenn. We never heard of Mr. Head (which may be all ths better), but we are hearing a good deal about Gov. Stone, who was No. 1 on ths list of Mr. Bryan's eUgibles and immortals. We have the inclination that ths less we hear of Stone, the better for Stone. The list will no doubt improve as he gets further down the line. But time is too short to mention everybody, between now and next year, one at a time. Doubtless all these aaentionables will be in position to say, You first, my dear Gaston.' In the meantime we hope Sen ator Stone, late chairman and governor, ia 'not so black as the grand jury is painting him." It ia given out at Washington that the imports into the United States exceeded. $1,000,000,000 during the twelve months ended March, 1903, the highest figure ever reached since the history of the country. Meantime the exporta have grown with like rapidity and in the same time amounted to $1,414,786,954. Written for Tax Journal. A BRIDE O' TIT MOUNTAIN. BT MART BAIRD FINCH.

From a popular farm journal we copy the following: Twentieth century dairy ing includes the cow that will pay her owner one hundred cents on the dollar. The annual production of milk in the United States is nearly fifty billion pounds. It would fill ths Erie canal from Albany to Buffalo, 980 miles, and leave twenty miles for leakage and cock age. This amount of milk is equivalent to about two billions of pounds of batter. Peter Schmidt was in Omaha last week and while there sold a car of flour. This will be three loads that Peter has ship ped this month. He does not purpose to be outdone in anything. He says he does sot intend to let any one have the banner in the erection of mail boxes either, and is arranging to have hie very conveniently placed for putting in and taking up of his mail. He will have old glory painted oa one aids sad Uncle Sam on the other. Peter is all right. Ths farmers are rushing their corn plowing. Small grain ia coming up nioely and they are all feeling in good spirits, hoping for a bountiful harvest and that spring is hers again for good.

Indications point to an unprecedented rush to, the marvelous agricultural regions of. the Northwest, and thousands of homsseekors from all parte of the East are already on their way to take up government lands, or purchase them outright. Vast bodies of land are open to any taker on payment of small fees. The state of Oregon has nearly 500,000 acres of selected school lands that it offers at $1.25 per acre, only 25 cents an acre of it in cash snd the rest on long tune. 'llus wonderful region has been aptly termed "A land of gold and golden grain," where crops never fail and the rewards of intelligent industry are cer tain. The climate for mildness and equability is unrivaled anywhere. No other part of the United States or of the world has greater or more valuable opportunities to offer to intelligent and industrious seekers for homes and com petence than the Pacific Northwest, Oregon, Washington or Idaho. To enable persons to reach these local ities at a minimum expense, the Union Faafio hae arranged, beginning with the third Tuesday of March and the first and third Tuesdsys of every month until July 16, 1903, a round trip rate of one fare plua 32.00 to tbe West, Northwest Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
