The Wisconsin state capitol building
was damaged $800,000 by fire last Satur
day. The state carries only partial
insurance, being in the process of chang
ing from insurance in companies to a
system of state insurance. The fire in
volves the building of a new capitol, a
special session of the legislature and the
probable renewal of the agitation in favor
of the removal of the capitol from Madi
son to Milwaukee. The fire is supposed
to have started by defective electric
wireing. The total cost of the building
to the state is estimated at $900,000.
Thk worst conflagration in the history
of Rochester, N. Y., broke out shortly
.before 5 o'clock Friday morning in the
basement of the Rochester Dry Goods

the city. The fire was discovered soon
after it started, spread with such rapid
ity that by the time an alarm was turned
ia the entire front of the store was a
mam of names. Assistant Chief Jaynee
realised at once the dangerous nature of
the ire- and tamed in a general alarm.
The mayor aaw that the fire was beyond
the control of the local department and

STOP THE CRACKS.
Under the above heading the Nebraska
Farmer makes the following timely
mention:
One of the leaks on the farm which
usually takes place without being noticed
is the loss of flesh from animals of all
kinds caused by the cold blast of early
spring sifting through cracks in the barn
or sheds, where a batten is torn off,
board broken, or the material that was
need for banking has shrunk or been
torn down to such an extent that the
purpose for which it was put there ia
entirely destroyed.
These remarks are not directed toward
the sloven, bnt to those who are counted
among our best farmers, men who take
great pride generally in keeping every
thing in the best of condition. They are
men who every fall fit up their buildings
in good shape by replacing old, broken
boards with new ones, batten up cracks
and bank np all buildings well, making
it not only profitable to themselves but
comfortable for their animals. But when
spring approaches, with the expectation
of warm weather, they become neglectful
and do not keep up the repairs caused
by ordinary wear of winter, and thereby
lose a great deal of profit which is right
fully theirs.
I believe it to be many times worse to
tie animals in .a barn or compel them to
use a shelter where the cold blast is
focused on them, than it is to turn them
loose in the open.
THE LAW AND GAMBLING.
The next legislature of Nebraska will
have to revise the penal provisions relat
ing to gambling, says the Lincoln Star.
The penalties and other provisions of the
old criminal code of 1885 were obviously
inadequate. Municipal and other author
ities could not satisfactorily deal with
the gambling evil under those provisions,
especially relating to the operation of a
gambling place or device.
The amendments of 1887, raising the
punishment to imprisonment in the pen
itentiary, were desired to cure the effects
of the criminal code. The amendments
have been very effective, but they are
now held by the opinion of the attorney
general to be null and void.
Most states make gambling a highly
penal offense. It has been demonstrated
by experience that only in this way can
the evil be 'kept within bounds. The
enforcement of Buch laws of course de
pend largely upon local public sentiment,
but it is sufficient very generally in Ne
braska to make a strong penal eystom
operative at least against the worst evils
of gambling.
TnE latest in war news from Tokio
dated the 29th says: The first shots of
the war oh land were exchanged today
at Ping Yang. A small detachment of
Russian infantry, evidently scouts, ap
peared this morning to the northward of
the town. The Japanese outposts open
ed fire from a range of 1,700 meters and
the Russians retired. The telegram re
porting the incident fails to mention any
casualties. It is presumed there were
none, on account of the small number of
men engaged and the distance separat
ing the opposing armies. It is reported
here that there will be small engage
ment soon somewhere in northern Cores,
where the Russians are scouting orer an
extended area, close to the Japanese po
sitions, but a general engagement is not
expected to occur for some time. Japan
is constantly assuming the offensive and
increasing its force in Corea.
From Che Foo, the same day the fol
lowing is sent out: The Twenty-ninth
Japanese infantry, occupying Ping Yang,
midway between Seoul and the Yulu
river, on Sunday met a body of Russian
cavalry scouts north of Ping Yang and
drove them back. It is estimated that
00,000 Japanese troops have landed at
Chemulpo. The transports now are not
escorted by war vessels.
C. E. Wavtlaxd of Denver, general
sales agent of the Union Pacific land
department, is in the city and is much
enthused over conditions in Omaha and
Nebraska, says the Bee. He thinks the
city and state now are on the eve of an
unprecedented period of prosperity and
that now is the best time to proclaim
their resources and advantages to the
world. He said: "The time is now ripe
in my opinion to promote the interests
of Nebraska. All portions of the state
should co-operate in advertising. At
present there is a heavy movement of
homeseekers from the northern district,
Iowa, Minnesota, Dakota and other
states. The larger portion of these
settlers are going to the southwest
The great development in the Platte
valley of Nebraska because of the rais
ing of alfalfa for feeding purposes and
the immense gain now becoming known
to all the semi-arid regions because of
scientific agricultural operations and
improved methods of farming being
taught by the state agricultural experi
ment stations, the United States De
partment of Agriculture and the Camp
beli system will mean a great deal to
Nebraska and Omaha."
The Niobrara Pioneer, in making ref
erence to a successor for Marcus A.
Hanna's place as chairman of the
national republican committee has the
following to say of Edward Roeewater,
editor of the Omaha Bee: "Nebraska is
looked upon as fighting ground in the
coming campaign, and to Mr. Boeewater's
genius as an organizer there is undis
puted acknowledgment We all get up
and roar at Roeewater in Nebraska and
at the same time are cognizant of the
fact that he is the means of turning the
balance in republican politics in Ne
braska, He should be, and no doubt
will be, the national committeeman from
this state. The position of national
chairman is a good big jump, but Mr.
Roeewater has a wide national acquaint
ance, is close to President Roosevelt in
thought and deed, and is a broad-ganged
man with remarkable experience and
enduring energy. The chairmanship
ought to come west"
Fire was discovered early Saturday
morning in the stores of Plants & Co. at
Waco, the first town east of York, and
in a short time the two store buildings
of Plants k Co. and the flour storage
hones were burned to the ground. There
is no fire company or water works at
Waco. The amount of the loss is $15,
000. The buildings were worth $2,000
and nothing was saved from them. It
is the general belief that the fire was of
weeadiary origin, snd. the business men
of the town have offered a reward of
1 $1,000 for the arrest of the guilty parties.
Fbox Washington the news comes
that Senator Scott of West Virginia had
a long conference with the president
Thursday, disennsJBg folly with, him
matters relating to national polities.
Quite naturally, among other topics
considered, was the chairmanship of the
republican national committee. Sev
eral men since the death of Senator
Hannahare been mentioned in connec
tion with the chairmanship, bnt thus far
the subject has not proceeded beyond
the realm of suggestion. Among the
names of men proposed for the chair
manship are former Governor Murray
Crane of Missschnrette and General
Charles Dick of Ohio, who this week
probably will be elected to succeed
Haqna in the senate. Mr. Crane is a
personal friend of President Roosevelt
and one of his closest political advisers.
The president' desires in the event of his
nomination for the presidency that Mr.
Crane should be identified in an import
ant capacity with the conduct of the
presidential campaign, but it is known
that Mr. Crane hesitates to undertake
the responsibility of directing the cam
paign as chairman on account of his
health.
The Lincoln correspondent of this
paper says: "The fnsionists have not yet
agreed upon a date for their state con
vention, and have made no move to fix a
time. The democratic committee will
meet March 15 to select a date. As
usual in Nebraska the allied opposition
will wait until after the republicans hare
acted in order to take advantage of any
possible mistakes as well as to be in
position to 'view with alarm when the
republican platform is announced, 'de
nounce the republican nominees and
'protest against anything and everything
which the majority party may do, decide
to do, or dream of doing. The opposi
tion is particularly anxious to know
whether or not the republicans will nom
inate a senatorial candidate, as their own
action in the matter will be governed
entirely by what their opponent does,
their leaders having agreed that in case
the republicans name a strong man for
the place, Mr. Bryan will be placed in
nomination and visit every section of the
state during the campaign."

There has been some talk among the
members of the board of supervisors of
taking down the bridges across the Loup
at Fullerton and Genoa before the ice
knocks out the piling and the water
carries the lumber away. Supervisor
Lamb figures that the lumber in the
Genoa bridge is worth about $2000. The
supervisors, however, hesitate to make a
move that will obstruct traffic, as it is a
question whether they have any author
ity to move the temporary bridges until
the new structures are completed. The

Welbourn, the electrician who gave
the lecture upon wireless telegraphy as
a number in the High school course last
Tuesday evening, is a man of wide knowl
edge in the electrical fields. The demon
strations were not understood by a
greater part of the audience, but all
could easily see that the Marconi system
of telegraphy will open a new field of
knowledge and power, undreamed of a
few years ago. Mr. Welbourn had in
struments upon the stage capable of
sending messages five miles apart, and
gave many demonstrations showing
where the system can be used. The
burglar alarm, communication from land
to vessels at sea, alarm from one fast
moving train to another on the same
track warning them of danger, signaling
from one battleship to another by way of
colored signal lights were a few of the
demonstrations. The last named prop

The Humphrey Democrat contained
the following in regard to the death of
one of the old settlers of Platte county
who had many acquaintances here:
'One of the old settlers of the upper
Shell creek valley passed away Monday
afternoon, when Patrick Duoey.of Lind
say, died at Omaha, after a short illness
from pneumonia. Deceased had made
his legal residence in Lindsay and owned
several farms in that vicinity, but in
recent years he had spent a great deal of
his time in Columbus and Omaha. He
was at the latter place when taken with
his last illness which lasted about two
weeks. Patrick Ducey was born in the
county Tipperary, Ireland, in 1833; and
was serenty-one years of age at the time
of his death. When a young man he
emigrated with his parents to Canada,
living there until 1871, when he moved
to Nebraska, locating on a homestead
abont two miles south of Lindsay. Since
then he has made Platte county bis
home, and by his industry and frugal
habits bad amassed considerable of this
world's goods. He was unmarried but
leaves a brother, James Ducey of Lind
say and a number of other relatives here

remains were bronght to Lindsay Tues
day evening, and Tharsday moraiag at
11 o'clock they were iaterred in the St

A Maaraetle Perseaalltr
A magnetic personality, which at
tracts the common run of mortals as
moths are attracted to a candle. Is
much coveted In these days and Is cer
tainly a valuable possession, but It will
perhaps be some consolation to the wo
man who cannot attract the attention
of everybody in a room the moment
she enters it that many great men and
women had no "personality worth
mentioning. There is a story of Fanny
Barney sitting unobserved in a corner
and having to be dragged into promi
nence at a rout Browning was disap
pointed when, he met George Eliot,
though they afterward became friends.
Charlotte Bronte was always at a dis
advantage in society, and many other
similar cases might be mentioned.
Great minds are often without this
charm of manner, while persons of
quite ordinary talents may have the
faculty of mesmerizing not only those
with whom they come into immediate
contact but all their contemporaries,
thus acquiring a fame out of all pro
portion to their merits.

Wendell Phillips used to teU this sto
ry on Emerson with considerable glee:
"Once while I was lecturing In the
west a young fellow came up to me as
I was leaving the platform. He Intro
duced himself, explained that a lecture
course was being talked of In his town
for the next season and wanted to
know if I would be kind enough to
suggest some good lecturers. I replied
that I would be glad to do so and
named Henry Ward Beecher, George
William Curtis, Bayard Taylor and
Emerson.
"'Emerson? Emerson?' ssld the
young fellow, looking perplexed. 'Who
Is Emerson?
"I Informed him that Emerson was
the leading philosopher of the country,
one of Its great original thinkers. The
young fellow reflected a moment and
then observed:

THE NECESSARY MAGAZINE
IN THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR
The Review of Reviews is often called a
necessity, in recognition of its usefulness in keeping
readers "up with the times."
In Presidential election years the REVIEW
OF REVIEWS is more than ever "the necessary
magazine." Everybody wants to be truly and quickly
informed about this or that public question that has
forged to the front ; to know about the new candi
dates and personal factors in politics, to have a com
plete picture at hand of the current movement of
history.

In 1888 we sowed onr first alfalfa without nnret
crop, getting a good stand, bat it di-d th firt
winter. Then we became iliscoaragwl and unit.
Through, reading your paper, we IrneJ that our
methods -were at fault, and started again. We
now get from 4 to U ton of cured hay per acre.
We are now following adrice given in jour pa
per on preparing soil, seeding, cutting and
stacking alfalfa. We got a gain of VA pounds
per day on Hborthora calves fed on hay alone
daring the winter. Yours very truly.
