A tjxion of non-union men istfaelstesf, Such a society has been fanned in Iadiana. Gonoreshman McCarthy baa chosen Jadge Falea or Ponca as bis private secretary. It is stated that from 1,500 to 6JB00 beep were lost daring tbe recent sleet and cold near Grant, this state. Even Spain, this country's late antag onist, bas buried the batcbet and will sad an exhibit to the St Loais Fair. Russia has spent over a hundred Bul lion dollars on the trans-Siberian rail road, but with this money it bas made one of tbe greatest lines in the world. Oh Wednesday, May 13, 1007, John Smith began settlement at Jamestown. On Thursday, May 14, 1804, Lewis and Clark left St Louis for their western trip. The school children of Beatrice raised over $30 to be donated to the Morton monument fond and have forwarded the money to tbe association at Nebraska City. The monthly balance of tbe state treasury for the month ending April 90 shows that tbe state of Nebraska had on band at that time the snug sum of f449.431.fti. These still remains some land belong ing to Uncle Sam that is open to settle ment in this state. During April seventy one homestead entries were made at O'Neill for lands in Wheeler and Garfield coaaties. Fob tbe first time in its history, the republicans Bwept the board at Fort Wayne, Indiana, last week, electing three waterworks trustees, who beaded the ticket, and fourteen out of twenty ooanoilmen. Articles of incorporation for the North Amorican Telegraph and Cable Co., which provides for tbe building of a submarine cable from Seattle to Valdec and other points in Alaska, were filed in Seattle one day last week. The capital stock is $5,000,000. A DisnNamstiF.n Frenchman has ex pressed the opinion that'long before the end of the twentieth century the United States and the American people will be the rulers of human affaire. Especially is this true with regard to the high ideals of life that govern and mold a nation. The Big Horn Basin Development Company .will reclaim 250,000 acres of land in tbe neighborhood of Guernsey, Wyoming, under the provisions of the Carey act, and will construct a canal 80 miles long, with a storage reservoir to hold 20,000,000,000 cubic feet of water. Sbcketarv of tbe Treasury Shaw has determined to take up the work of refunding tbe national debt where it was left off by Secretary Gage. Tbe result of this will be to get rid of a large number of high priced government bonds, and substitute for them 2 percent bonds, pat on the market at a premium of 2 per cent At Indianapolis, Indiana, the other day, Ignace Dilger, a laborer, was oner ated on for liver trouble and one-third of that organ was cut away. It is said this is tbe first time in surgery that saeh a chance has been taken, but Dilger has been steadily improving since the oper ation was completed, and his permanent recovery is assured. The result of the city election in Omaha gave tbe democrats a surprise. The fall returns gave Moore's plurality over Benson 932. Moore's plurality over Howell 1,024. Benson's plurality over Howell 692. It will beseen that although the republican ticket was divided both Moons aad Benson made a sweeping vietery over Howell. -Tjra Fremont Tribune says: "The PapSlion Times has changed hands. F. P. Morgan, who bought it of Edgar Howard, is. a life long republican and be could throw no soul and inspiration into it, as a democratic organ, under republi can prosperity. And so it baa not attracted much attention. Mr: Morgan will go to Oregon, though it doesn't quite rhyme with his name.' Oxa important matter was called to the attention of the Lincoln school board in a report by Superintendent Gordon last week. It was the discovery of two cases of trachoma amoag the ITa im children attending school The disease affects the eyeballs, is serious and epidemic. The superintendent was given power to investigate and take all necessary precautions to prevent the Bread of tbe disease. A rigid inspection of the pupils of the school will probably be made and all available means aaed to prevent a spread of the afliction. Capital and labor, figuratively speak ag, put their feet under the same table at a mve feast Taeaday afternoon. The meeting marked the organization of a Meal branch of tbe National Civic feder- with representatives from tbe By aad working classes and from the I pabbc to form an executive com- la attendance and warmly the proposed movement Senator M. A. Hanns. John Mite. eU, William B. Harper, Bishop Fallows, the Rev. Emil G. Hirech, George A. Sakil-iag, Frankhn MaeVeaga, Lambert Tree, Jadge Murray F.

Senator i aad Mr. MitcaeU assisted in the r ef a swatter ataaeb at 8t Loais TAX PAYERS, KEEP AN EYE ON "THE 8P0IL8." i Brother Howard of tka dodges about teUamg all aorta of tsaaan about what republican; have doae fai years past, bat fails to give one good reason why the city council of Colambas should let the contract forprintiag for tkree-fourths the legal rate aad refusing to open the bids from, the different oanoss ia town. Brother Howard claims "to the victor belongs the spoils." This may be Mr. Howard's political doctrine bat it will not pass as good United States government doctrine. Why is it that the government gives the baildiagof ships, tbe furnish ing of amy supplies and the countless other items to bids? Is it to save tbe people money? or what? We quote elsewhere in regard to state supplies beiag given to tbe lowest bidder, and by the way, Mr.'Howard says The Joukxax, printed a legal notice for tbe state this year for which we received full legal rate, and "scores of newspapers stood ready to do the work for half the money." Also that there will be other printing to be done for the state next year and the Telegram promises not to get sick "when The Journal shall draw four or five hundred dollars." Mr. Howard shoald inform himself better. The Jourkal received but a half rate for that notice, which at full legal rate would amount to considerably less than 100. Mr. Howard may be able to stretch the legal measurement, but we vary much doubt that the proposed con stitutional amendments for next year will be so lengthy, as he would infer. Brother Howard says the "city and county advertising has been through all the years regarded as political patronage, jast as postofloe appointments are re garded.' Mr. Howard need take no credit on that score, even if it were true. for the republicans elected every one of the men nominated on their city ticket and no doubt could have elected others bad they not preferred to endorse the democratic mayor, councilman from First ward, clerk and others. Had Mr. Stillman of the Third ward resigned be fore election instead of immediately after, the republicans would very likely hire elected another councilman from that ward. Tbe fact is, the democrats, at the last city election did not elect one man that had not been endorsed by tbe republicans. The public still fail to understand why these men elected to represent their in terests should not consider the interests of the city first and their party second not only for the principle involved in the matter, but because they were elect ed by both political parties. With one exception in ten years Columbus has bad a republican mayor. THE SO-CALLED FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. About every year since we have been editing an agricultural paper we have given warning to our readers, especially those in tbe prairie grass belt not to use hay that contains wild rye. We have pointed out that this wild rye srowine on many of tbe prairie meadows ergotises quite as badly as cultivated rye. The ergot can very easily be seen by any man who keeps bis eyes open; a long, slender, black seed, sometimes half an inch or longer in the cultivated rye and not quite so long in the wild rye. This contains a poison called ergot exceedingly valuable in medicine, bat the effect of which is to shrink the arteries and interfere with the circulation of the blood through the system. It is used by physicians to check the How of blood either to tbe brain or externally. When fed to cattle in wild hay it checks the circulation, and the result is the dropping off of the tails and some times the hoofs of tbe animals fed this hay for a considerable length of time, and also the deadening of tbe muscle. Then the cry arises that foot and mouth disease has broken out unskilled veter inarians sometimes proclaiming it foot and month disease and creating an alarm over the state in which it occurs and sometimes leading other states to quar antine. In every case in which this has been investigated it is found to be noth ing but simple ergotism and in every case tbe result of feeding spurred rye, either of cultivated rye or the wild rye, and in nine eases oat of ten of wild rye. All this can be very easily avoided. For example, iJr. Mayo, of Kantian, was recently called upon by the Live Stock Sanitary Commission to investigate out breaks of foot and mouth dinonno among cattle near Concordia and in Atchison county, Kansas. It was found to be nothing except ergotism. Last fall the veterinary department of the Kansas Agricultural College issued a bulletin warning tbe stockmen that on account of the prevalence of ergot in wild rve last year ergotism was to be expected. ic a farmer will not put himself in con nection with the experiment station of his state and if he will not take an up-to-date agricultural paper to advise him in all these things he will simnlv have to take his medicine. It is some time vet before farmers cure wild hay. but it is not too early to call their attention to the losses which have occurred from not heeding our advice and that of the "Whatsoever a man soweth. that shall he also resD." whether in things agricultural or in the ration of morals. Wallace's Farmer. CARNEGIE'S CRITICS A great deal of vapid criticism is beina indalged in, in connection with Mr. Car- aegiea gifts of libraries and educational institutes for the training of engineers and expert artisans. People are telling him that if he wants to benefit the noor he ought to build great hospitals aad "homes for the Door." Now. Mr. began life aa a poor boy and the choieeof the objects of his gifts to the public is tbe result of his experience as a poor boy who had to work from the begianing and aoqaire knowledge as beet he could in his hoars off. The tender of the aae of his library by aa early em ployer, who was attracted by tbe alert ambition of tbe boy was ia his eatima tioa the greatest boon of his life. Hence it is aataral that ha wishes to repay that gift to the public ia kind ia the shape of tree libraries to the boys and girls of this geasration. His employer might have given the Carnegie lad a "free hoan bat it would have been of bo benefit to him, bat vary probably would have taken the edgeoff his ambition aad destroyed his self respect What ha wanted was a caaace to read books that ha was aaable to buy for himself oat of the small warn of a faobeia boy or a tel- Jouraaj, At Vallejo, 'California, the other day, Joha Gregg, aa -apprentice at the navy yard, was severely injured by a piece of steel which flaw from a planing tool im be&lfcagitsalfinsaaface. ft Bras thought that the metal bad been entirely lemovsd from tbe wound, but later the injury showed mdications of the presence of a foreign substsace. "Master Electrician Petrie became interested in tbe case and rigged up a magnet after n design of bis own, capable of lifting 500 pounds. Tbe magnet was held directly over tbe orifice and tbe current turned on. In an in stant tbe offending piece of metal flew from tbe woand and attached itself to tbe magnet demonstrating a new method of applying electricity in surgical Wbstebx Kansas, north of tbe Arkan- river, (which is very similar to west ern Nebraska) will receive tbe attention of tbe Bureau of Forestry this summer. A study of the tree growth of that region will begin this month under tbe direc tion of an agent for the government Bureau, and will be continued until fall. In this part of tbe state tbe timber pen etrates the prairies by way of the river bottoms, clinging closely to those moist bonds and advancing only occasionally to tbe uplands. The Bureau will stady the tendency of the trees and shrubs along tbe water courses to increase and spread, and will determine what species are best adapted to planting on those uplands that contain no natural growth.

Their power as wage raisers was tried st least as far back as the sixteenth century, for In the "Calendar of State Papers" Is a letter from Sir William Fits William to Mr. Secretary Cromwell containing the statement that "the workmen at Dover refused to work except for sixpence a day. Two of the ringleaders had been soma time of the black guard In the king's kitchen." No moral imputation was conveyed In calling them black guards. All that was Implied was that they formerly guarded the pots, pans snd other uten sils of the king. It wss a much later generation that turned tbe term to purposes of abuse. Bew Hat te Omr Ola.

The informa tion Is not so general, however, that this same craft waa subsequently, con verted into a cruiser and was the first steamship engaged in actual war. Tbe facts In the case aire stated In "Johnson's Alphabet ef First Things In Canada.'' The ship was the Boyal Wil liam. She was built st the Cove, Que bec, In the winter of 1830-31 and during the season of 1832-33 plied between Que bec and Halifax. In the latter season she wss sent to London and there char itered by tbe Portuguese government to' transport troops Intended for the serv ice of the bite Dom Pedro to Brazil.
