TnE contract for tbe asylum at Nor
folk was let last Saturday to a Des
Moines company for tbe sum of $96,975,
and the building is to be completed by
September 1. Only one other contractor
bid for the work, that one was from
Omaha.
D. E. TnoxivsoN, minister to Brazil,
who is now on leave of absence to this
country, has made announcement in his
paper the Lincoln Star, that he is not a
candidate for United States senator, and
that his influence will be used to further
the election of Congressman Burkett to
that important position.
Having incorporated according to the
laws of thostate, the Christian Volunteer
Warriors will hazard $25,000 in the
regeneration of Omaha, and mean to
afterward march as a conquering host
upon the wicked of other sections of the
state. The incorporators are: Owen B.
Vail, James L. Dickson, Oscar E. Carter
and C. O. Faulk.
Captain Bkadnek D. St.Acr.nTF.it, for
many years a prominent Ggnre in Ne
braska politics and a resident of Fnller
ton, and now serving in the paymaster's
department of the United States army,
has arrived in this country from tbe
Philippines. lie was accompanied by
his wife and daughter. Mr. Slaughter
has been assigned to the department of
the Missouri.
TnE last legislature appropriated $12,
030 to defray the expense of a reappraise
mont of all the school lands. Thirty
eight counties have been inspected nt a
cost of aliont $7,000 and as a result of
the new values fixed by the appraisers
the stato gets about $70,000 per annum
in additional rentals, to say nothing of
tbe increase in the value of lands which
may be sold in the future.
The Post-office department has begun
a crusade against the printing of objec
tionable stories in newspapers and pe
riodicals throughout the country. Under
the new policy a number of papers con
taining questionable matter have been
thrown out of the mails under telegraph
ic orders to the postmasters, and a cam
paign will be waged against objectiona
ble medical advertisements, which are
being widely published.
Count John A. Ckeighton last Friday
deeded without reserve to Creighton
university, Omaha, one of the principal
Catholic universities of the west, a down
town business block valued at a quarter
of a million dollars. In all Count Creigh
ton has given to the institution in cash
and valuable property about $750,000.
For his extreme liberality Pope Leo be
stowed upon him the title of count. He
is one of the wealthiest men in Omaha.
E. F. Stephens, the enthusiastic hor
ticulturist of Crete, Nebraska, sends Ne
braska Farmer a bundle of peach and
cherry branches from Overton, Nebraska,
in the Platte valley in Dawson county.
For the most part the peach branches
appear sound with buds in good condi
tion, justifying Mr. Stephens' remark,
"Wood and buds mature better here than
in eastern Nebraska." The cherry twigs
are a mass of sound, healthy appearing
buds.
The next republican Nebraska state
convention will in all probability name
the United States senator to succeed
Charles H. Dietrich. The state central
committee has recommended that dele
gates to the convention be so instructed
as 'to voice the sentiments of their con
stituency for a candidate to that import
ant office. Republicans in every section
of the state should attend the primaries
and county conventions and see that the
proper delegates are elected to represent
their interests in the state convention.
Attended by excitement not often
equaled, wheat Friday advanced nearly
4 cents a bushel in Chicago. The grain
pita on change were, from start to finish,
ia continuous pandemonium. The long
coveted goal in speculated trading $1.00
wheat was made a mere reminiscence.
May delivery that day going as high as
$1.03 a bushel. Except during a corner
ia 1898, May wheat has not reached that
record since 1891. Advances were also
made in other speculative articles, nota
bly provisions. Pork for May delivery
jumped ap 52 cents a hundred pounds.
Mr. Bbtak should, take heed or he
will be having the democratic press of
Nebraska after him for donating his
thousands to tbe public use. Hat Rock
efeller offer of a genera gilt to the
6tate for the erection of a building to be
used by the thousands of young boy and
girl students at the state acitarsity,
called groans, hisses in word form and
much eloquent effort from the demo
cratic editors, who have brought a regu
lar tirade upon the heads of Chancellor
Andrews and Mr. Rockefeller, for pre
suming to accept a gift from a wealthy
man. And now Mr. Bryan has dared, in
the Taoe of this, to offer to Salem, Illi
nois, a $25,000 library building and
books to the value of $15,000. Salem
may need the library, and we doubt not
that the good people of that town will
appreciate the gift, but they do not need
it more than those thousands of students
who are thrown among strangers, with
scarcely room enough in all tbe build
ings to find a quiet place to study. The
crowded condition is not the fault of the
faculty, but because the people of the
state have not provided for the growing
demand for the higher education among
the young people, and the result is, every
available room is used for class rooms.
No one knows better than the chancellor
that the yonng people there need the
building which will no doubt be built
near the university, and whether it is
Mr. Rockefeller's or Mr. Bryan's money
that builds it, the young people will
derive great value from it.

TnE' sentiment expressed by the He
brew Russians of Fremont concerning
Russia in the pending conflict makes it
plain that these former subjects of the
czar are very anxious for a Japanese
victory in the present trouble, says the
Tribune. The story of the oppression of
tbe Hebrew race in Russia is a long and
bloody one, and a positive disgrace to
civilization; and so these men cannot be
regarded as strictly impartial in their
judgment. But their statement of con
ditions in Russia makes it plain that the
great mass of citizens is not a compact
and loyal one like the Japanese. There
is a difference between a citizen and a
subject. A citizen is one who loves his
country and its rulers. A subject is one
who is ruled by force, with whom love of
country is an unknown sentiment. It
goes without saying that a soldier who
hates a government will not do his best
fighting for it.
Miss O&ue Holbrook of Nebraska
City, who has been at St Josephs hos
pital, Omaha, to grow a new 6calp since
she lost her scalp through its being torn
off by machinery in a mill at Nebraska
City, Christmas morning, is considered a
young woman of remarkable nerve, says
the World-Herald. Through her people
at Nebraska City comes word that she
is now making a sixth attempt to graft a
new Bcalp on her head. All of the grafts
previously have been put on from the
bodies of other persons and all have
sloughed off. Now the doctors are
grafting from her body, cutting the skin
from her limbs. They are putting on
twenty-five grafts every alternate day,
and the grafts seem to be doing well.
The young lady does not take a drug

TnR latest war news comes from Tokio
dated Monday and is as follows: "It is
reported here that Vice Admiral Togo
has again attacked Port Arthur. It is
impossible to confirm the statement,
but the Navy department says it has had
no news from Togo today. It is con
sidered very probable that the vice
admiral has made another attack on the
Russians, as he is engaged in blockading
Port Arthur. The announcement here
that Japanese fugitives from Manchuria
had been saved from further Russian
cruelty by the good offices of Mr. Conger,
the United States minister to Pekin,
was received with the highest evidences
of appreciation."
Tue raising of ginseng is attracting
considerable attention at the hands of
growers in this country. One of the
pioneers, and the leading raiser of gin
seng in America is Doublas E. McDowell
of Joplin, Mo., who started in the busi
ness as an experiment over twelve years
ago. The first five years his attempts to
grow the Chinese panacea were unsuc
cessful; but in 1897 he grew a fine crop,
and has continued to do so each year
since. He has enlarged his farm until it
now contains over two acres of thrifty
ginseng, and his annual 6ales of nursery
stock amount to over $30,000.
John D. Sutton of Nebraska City, on
Friday brought suit against the Morton
Gregson Packing company and the local
Butchers' union in the district court for
$12,000. There are altogether about 100
defendants to the suit The plaintiff
alleges that by conspiracy between the
defendants he lost his position at the
plant of the Morton-Gregson company
and was thereby deprived of the neces
sary supplies for his family. The suit is
the outgrowth of the strike at the pack
ing plant there two years ago and raises
points of law never before passed upon
in this state.

Fonda was sleeping in the third story of
the Thurston hotel at ColumbuB last
Wednesday night when he was aroused
at 3 o'clock in the morning by some one

The republican committeemen of
this congressional district will meet in
Norfolk about the 1st of April when they
will decide where the congressional con
vention will be held. Dr. Hansen is the
committeeman from Platte county, but
owing to his absence from here, Carl
Kramer, his proxy, will represent the
county at Norfolk, and will endeavor to
secure the convention for Columbus,
which would be called to convene a few
days before the state convention that
meets in Lincoln May 18. Mr. Kramer
should have the assurance of the public
here in his effort to secure the conven
tion, which would bring from three to
five hundred delegates from this district.
The convention this year will probably
be largely attended, as not only the con
gressman to succeed McCarthy will be
nominated, but the two delegates and
their alternatives to the National con
vention will be chosen. When the dem
ocratic congressional convention met
here about two years ago, the Commer
cial club and citizens responded willingly
to the committee in charge, and we
doubt not that they would do so again
for another such gathering.

A sad sight met the eyas of.-tae-fcir
who searched for John Monicks8uaa1sy
morning, and discovered the dsad .body
hanging by a rope, from the rafters in
his barn.
Mr. Monicke who lived alone in his
home just east of John W. Byrnes, on
east Twelfth street was seen for the last
time alive, on Friday evening, when- two
children of L. Jaeggi who lives in the
same block, carried to his home the milk
he purchased from them each day. Tbe
children noticed when they went'in that
Mr. Monicke had a long rope in his
hands and asked him what be was going
to do with it He did not tell them, but
dismissed tbe question with a laugh.
He was not seen around the place
Saturday, but neighbors supposed be
had gone to his sister, Mrs. Philip Dietz.
On Sunday morning Mrs. Dietz went
to see her brother, and finding the doors
locked, inquired of neighbors and an in
vestigation was at once made by L.
Jaeggi, Mr. Byrnes and Andy Erb.
Upon going to the stable they found
the door fastened on the inside and after
forcing their way in, saw Mr. Monicke's
body hanging from the rafters.
Mr. Byrnes immediately sought county
officials and Coroner Metz was sum
moned from Humphrey, coming down on
the noon train.
Sunday afternoon a jury held an in
quest, finding that he had come to his
death by hanging himself on his premi
ses on lot 3, block 101, Columbus,, be
tween the hours of 5 and 7 o'clock the
morning of February 20, 1901, death
being caused by his own willful act and
deed. The jurymen were: C.S.Easton,
F. T. Walker, Louis Held, Otto Hener,
Lonia Lachnit and Fred Flegger.-
Upon the dead man's person was found
about twenty-five dollars, and also a note
addressed to his sister saying: "Good
bye, sister, I've got to die. The Odd
Fellows will bury me. Brans is tbe
cause of this."
Mr. Monicke was a quiet, unpreten
tious man, who was respected by all his
acquaintances. He was energetic snd
found ready employment about town in
attending to lawns and small jobs of
carpentering. Mr. Monicke planted the
trees and attended to the lawn around
tbe court house.
The cause for his action xb supposed
to be on account of financial difficulties
arising from parties suing him for money.
Mr. Monicke was born February 26,
1850, in Ahrensberg, Germany. About
two years ago he was married to a Miss
Bruns but after a short time they separ
ated and were divorced.
Funeral services were held Monday
afternoon at 3 o'clock at the home of the
deceased's sister, Mrs. Dietz, Rev. Nen
marker officiating, and the Odd Fellows
also conducting their ritualistic service.
