From a roiortornl standpoint, the man who will stop a reporter on the strait nnd loll that ho has boon to Omaha or some ol Iter city, that his wlfo entertained from n ills tanoe, is tho host man alive.

Mr. Fairbanks apparently has gain mi in popularity on his western trip. It is by no menus n foregone conolu ion, howovor, that Mr. Fairbanks will reoolve tho next presidential nomination. He has the undoubted confidence of the wholn people nnd of the basiiuiM Interests in particular. Hut so far as it can bo judged at pros out, he is not so ardent an advocate of remedial railroad legislation as Pros ideut Hosovelt is and for that reason, Miles conditions ohnngo considerably before IW8, he will be hnudicnppod iu the raoo with a man liko Mr. Taft whose views on that tuostion coiuolilo with the President's. That there will bo something of a contest bo tweeu the radicals aud tho couserva lives in the republican party there can be little doubt. That tho radical ele ment will win seems jnst now to be still less doubtfnl. Mr. Fairbanks' prospects for nomination, therefore, would seem, from a course of general reasoning to be rather remote. This of course would not be true, If Mr. Fairbanks, later on should Iw found standing with Roosevelt on tho rail road and tariff issues. And Mr, Fairbanks has so many ad mirable qualities as a businessman, as a gentleman, a sohular aud a states nan, that it Is to bo hoped ho may adhere to the principles In which the masses of the people belelve aud for the npport of whlob Hooaevelt wim ples first place In the hearts ofthe Whole American people. the Chicago strike. Here is a solar plexus from tho Woman's BulTrago uendqunrtor?. It may not be strictly logical, but that doesn't matter: "When Colorado had a gront strike, tho nutl-woman suffragists of Chicago sent a lotttor to tho Illinois lrgisla turo, declaring' that thuOolorado strike wn duo to tho evil Inlluenco of wo man suffrage Today (Jhirago is hnving ii groat strike, accompanied with rioting nnd bloodshed.

At nny rate, that is tho argument the Chirac" "Anils" have been using nbonl Colorado: and It In n imor rule that will ntii work both ways." A IIARGA1N. There is talk, stnrteil by Congress man Hull nf Iowa, that Japan, after whetting Iter appetite on Manchuria ami tho Hnssiau nnvv, will want the Philippine by wav of desert. Why should not Japan want tho Philippines? They are much nearer Japan than they ate the United States nnd nro peopled by u race similar to tho .Japanese, For every renson I 'nolo Ham cnnlil think nf why ho should have thorn, tho .Inpatient can think of two reasons.

Tho general impression regarding the now olgarotto law which goes in to otToct tho first of next month is that it prohibits tho smoking of cignrottos ns well as tholr manufacture and snlo, but It does uot. Tho law si mid v nro- vides that it shall bo unlawful to manufacture, soil or glvo awar or iug allow to bo taken awnr any oiimr- ettos or tho material for tholr com- IKisltlon, for instance clgnrotto paper, within tho stnto. Tho law annlles to any person, llrm, association or cor poration. Tho lino, for every olVense, is live dollars to one hundred dollars In tho discretion of tho court. Put ho long ns you ran get hold of tho iinpor anil tobacco, or smuggle into your possession tho clgnrotto of commerce. you nro all right. And this Is where tho law Is "pow'ful" weak, for tho smoker Is not going to testify ugnuist the pornm of whom ho buvs tho in gredient or tho eignrotto that Do has procured otnndostinoly. Stolon sweets aro tho most enjoyed. Tho Indiana law applies to tho person who smokes a clgnrotto, anil oven neonlo who lo through tho stnto on railroad trains aro liable to arrest at nny station If cotmht in tho not bv n local spotter or olH tor ot tho law. MUiWAV SECEDES. The government of Norway has formally served notice on King Oscar of Sweden that Norway is no longer subject to the Swedish crown. It is n stop that has boon contemplated for n long time and mm that was inevit able. Sweden nnd Norway do uot bo long together naturally. Tho two peo nies havo never boon in sympathy with each other, and tho alliance which has oxisrod for nearly a hundred years has now npimreutlv boon broken for good. NaturallyKing Oscar and Swoll en will protest vigorously against tho separation, but tho Norwegians have declared themselves rendy to support their docision by force of arms If necessary, ami It is hardly to ho ex ported that Sweden will undertake to compel a cnutinuituco or tho union. Since tho two countries have merely been bound together by mutual agree ment, tin' separation is not iu tho nature of a revolution but rather a secession, and tho world will bo glad to see It a bloodless one, What strikes tho American mind ns strange is that tho hardv Norsemen seom never to have thought of estab lishing a republic. They aro casting about for lomo member of thu Euro pean rnyaltv to whom thoy may pro sent the crown of Norway. Possibly a republican party mar vet spring up before the iuostiou is sottled, but nothing has boon heard from it yet. Tho population of Norway is of that bravo, hardy, independent liber that should uaturnlly turn toward demo cratic government, and It is ills appointing that no sign or such a spirit has appeared there. LUST IS TRANSIT. Wo aro always glad to bo ablo to commend the action of a contempor ary. No doubt a fow unkind people will uot believe this, but It is true ns gospel ; nnd iu cnueiuonco of this truth we nro at this writing almost deliriously happy In the fact that we nro ublo to pit our friend the Tele gram on I he back aud say "Well done'" The highly couiuicndnblo action to which wo rofor is thnt tho Telegram for ouco In its enroor has mode the amend honorable by admitting that it has misrepresented tho facts in re gatil to n iKJlltlcal enemy. According to tho grent religious weekly In Its lMii of Inst week, Mayor Dickinson had issued n manifesto to the oll'ect that hcrcnttor no man in Columbus would bo nllowed in have boor on his Initio in his own homo on Sunday. Presumably it would bo nil rglht for him to trawl under tho tnblonml soak tip a stein or two, though tho Tele gram did uot explain that point ; but not on tho table, no sir, not on tho table, unless ho was prepared to risk a penitent inrr sentence. I laving Invested the mnvor with the authorship nf this brilliant dietetic regulation, tho Telegram then pro ceeded to ront him to n dark brown liulsh for h"itig f.o lurnti. First chap ter oinlotli hero. In thli tveek't nluion tho pious weekly explains Willi ft deep sigh of rtdiof that it Hud Itself to have been mistaken In one small particular about what MayorDlckiuson said last week, namely: ho didn't say It. He did say, howovor, that no saloon would bo nllowed to sell liquor on Hundnv, hocnuso thnt would bo in violation of tho law. Tho story ondeth bore. Comparing tho original story with tho amended version, one is apt nt llrst sight to think thnro is not much likeness. Howovor, on moro minute inspection wo find that tho wonl Sun day occurs iu both of them, so thnt tho rosouiblnncn I ronlly very strik ing. Tho slight discrepancy occurred of course while tho story was in tran sit through tho successive stngos from rnw matorlal to finishrd article re porter, telournph editor, city editor, compositor, proof rentier, devil, chief cook, bottle washer, editor-in-chief, ouo riug, two rings, threo riugs! Tho error wns very nntural, very excusable aud quite In Hue with pre cedent. Moroover tho mayor, drnt his hide, is n republican. ASCMMARV. A good Oormuu farmer iu Ureitou township the other day said to us :"1 heard from ouo of my neighbors who takes tho Journal that you said some of tho supervisors drew more salary than tho law nllows; that the Oolutn bus Telegram worked n scheme with noiiio of tho county olllcers to get the comity printing; anil that there Is Homo orookod work in rogard to tho Standard Pridgo Compnuy nnd that wo tnximyors havo to par the freight. 1 was takiug tho Telegram anil the Mono nt thnt timo and I never saw anything on those subjects In oithor papir. I just lately subscribed for the Journal in order to learn about this inattor. I wish you would say again what you snitl before. There are manv others like myself who would liko to know tho facts anil it looms wo cannot got thoin from the ollloial papers that we aro paying to give us nu accurate record of tho county business." Wo cannot at this time enter into n full discussion of nil these question as deeply as wo have in the past ami ns deeply as wo shall again in tho fu ture Wo will tnko tho timo, however, to suminnrl.e'thesn facts, and in doing so wo will promise to print in full In a prominent place In the Journal, nny doulil of our statements, which nnv ouo ot the accused nr any othor person whomsoever may desire to mnko. Hero nro the fact iu brief: 1. Tho law limits n supervisor's salary to $101) n year. Supervisors Ernst and Pender for tho year 11)01, each drew much more than thnt amount. Do thoy know tho drew this money iu violation of law? Yes. Supervisor Die (rich votetl against allowing cer tain illegal bills of those suoervlsorF. Tho Journal repontedly called thoir attention to tho law. Fiunlly, by request tho county nttornoy told thorn lit a written opinion that thoy were out II led to no more than :UK) each a yc.r for salary anil tho Journal was l ho only paper in the county tl At printed foi the taxpayers of Platte county any part of the contents of that opinion nltlmugh the taxpayers pay live democratic papers ., por cent more than the law allows to print tho supervisor's proceedings. '.'. Tho Colnmbu Telegram charged tho county iu l'.H:i ir a thousand for printing certain blanks nnd printed enough nt that price iu ltKKI to last over IDOI. In their HK) bid knowing that those blanks had already boon supplied nt l.i thoy ottered to print them at fl.T.'i. Aud the county clerk advortlsod for bid on these solfsnnie plans in l'.K)l, although ho know they wore already on hand at the ll.'i price ami notwithstanding tho law to ad vertise for bids only on supplies acta ally needed. Aud tho present con. tract of tho Columbus Telegram for tho county printing has tho samo glaring evidences of graft that tho 1!K)I contract contained. 3. Exorbitant prices have been paid the Standard DrldgoCotupauy for lam ber, for instance :!3 n thousand for Cottonwood lumbor, Initl in place, when tho same could bo delivered nt tho bridgo nt nbout fJO u thousand. And yet Supervisors Ernst and Bon der who have money iu their pocket which does uot lioloug to them, money paid illegally out of tho pockets of Plntto county taxpayers, woro in Lin coln during tho last legislature, work ing shoulder to shoulder with tho Htnntlnrd Pridgo Compnny's lobby. Don't forgot that tho Journal stands ready to prove nnr or nil these asser tions and that space wilt bo given free to nny person who will attempt to deny nny or nil of them. Wo ask our Herman friend fromCrestou nnd othor to keep this paper for future reference and to wntch tho Journal for tho denials which for some strnngo renson never appeared in tho Telegram or tho Miotic. A THEORY. The World-Herald reports thnt lust Saturday it sent forth n party of archaeological research, which party proceeding toward the isolated ronton known ns Council PltUTs unearthed n skeleton which the World-Herald supposed to be thnt of tho missing link. At lonst it supposes thnt this skeleton represents n prehistoric rnce that inhnbitotl this country before the Indians. From tho npponrnnco of the bones, tho World-Herald deduces the following interesting points: Tho subject wns of n very low order of Intnlligonco, n shown by tho obtuse uoss of the fncinl angle; his animal nnturo wns largely dovolnpotl, judging from the prominent cerebellum; ho was not n vegetarian, hocnuso his front tooth nro all cnuiuos, nn incisors being found ; ho tlopnrtetl this life at about tho ago f fifty yonrs, as is evi denced by tho HOinnwhat frazzled condition nf tho rmd tooth. Now it is goiug on ll!l yonrs siuce Colnmbu found Indians occupying this hemisphere ; nnd a fair presump tion is thnt nt that timo tho oldest in habitant wns at least ST years old. So tho Indians have been here o00 years without doubt. Sinco tho nsreons gentleman under consideration wns of a raoe that preceded the Indians, bo must therefore have been planted for at least half n millennium. Yet ho was only two feet under gronud, thoro woro no Indications of nrtiftoinl preservatives, autl be kept fine. We don't wish to question the World Herald's judgment in matters anti quarian, but consitlering all these oircuinstnucos and the fresh nnd blooming condition iu whtoh His Honoship was found, wo venture to suggest that on n closer Inspection these mortal remains may provn to be thoso of Pnt Crowo. According to tho World Herald's own account, Pnt had aged consider ably at hi Inst appearance and he may very well have worn down his molars to somo degree in tho procoss of gnashing his tooth in tho agony nf exile. So our theory would not ser iously conflict with tho ro-yonrs-old hypothesis. At any rate, wo pro sent it for the consideration of tho World-Herald. If tho much rosnrrect otl Shorlockllolmos can otter anything to assist ns nnd tho World Herald in wrostlini; with this problem, it is up to Mm. AN ACCURSED DHIDGE.

The snored black stone of the Man elm dynasty of Chinese In Mukden Is tho center of tho universe, according to old Chinese superstitions, and added veuorablllty comes to Mukden from the graves of tho emperors near by. Tho Do-ring In Litssa, Tibet, Is an other center nf the universe, which, ac cording to the Tibetan priests, Is shap ed exactly like tho shoulder blade of a sheep. All distances nro measured from It, and it Is very sacred. Another center Is tho kaaba, In Mec ca, a dirty black stone let into the wall of the most sacred mosque and polish ed every year by tho lips of thousands of worshipers. The Arable word for stone, "hagar," appears In Scriptural writings as a proper iiaine. The Mecca pilgrimage Is a "hiij," and those who have taken It are Known as "hadji."

This decreased need for nutrition, If nut heeded, will result In takluu Into the body moro food than can be o.;ldl.od and used cither to build up tissue or for the generation of heat and i :. rgy. The result Is kid neys, li.or and other excretory organs me overworked In the effort to remove the body wastes and become diseased, says u writer in the Housekeeper. Thou naturo stores up this foul material In the form of fat In nil the lymph spaces, between the fibers of the muscles and In every othor odd corner Iu tho body where It can be stowed away. In tluu this lifeless, useless structure of fat crowds out muscle, gland and other normal tissues and takes their place. This 1 what Is known ns fatty degen eration aud always shortens life, end ing often In sudden death from heart failure, apoplexy, diabetes or kidney disorders. The prevention of obesity moans reg ulation of diet, especially In middle life nuil when changing from nn active out of door occupation to n sedentary In door life. Often tho amount of food should bo cut down from one-fourth to one-half, especially avoiding fats and sweets, also soft foods, which tend to gormandizing from deficient mastica tion ami too hasty eating. No wine, boor or alcoholic drink or tea or coffee should be used. At meals even the use of water should be restricted. Exer cise should be taken Iu the open air nnd deep breathing practiced to In crease the Intake of oxygen and burn up and oxidize bodily toxic matter. For those women who nro overstout, yet retain a fair amount of physical vigor, the day should begin with u cold bath, plunge, spray, cold towel rub or sponge bath, after which should be tak en active exercise In the form of work, either In the open air or In it well ven tilated room, horseback riding, bicy cling or a brisk walk for an hour or more. Exercise In a well ventilated gymnasium may be substituted for the out of door, but Is not so effective mid Invigorating. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Every one has had more happy days In bis life than wretched ones, but bow ho lets the wretched ones stand out! There aro so many operations of late that u man can become distinguished by arriving In heaven all in one piece. One grout trouble In life Is that the paths for going wrong are planted o prettily with tlowers at the beginning. Occasionally a disagreeable person will boast that at least he Is sincere, but that Is no excuse for being dis agreeable.

"Gold In the morning, silver nt noon nml lead at night" Is always used with reference to fruit. Most people think It means that the explanation of tho prov erb Is that digestion is strongest in the morning and weakens as the day goea on. Hut you will note that the proverb refers to fruit alone. If It has to do with the digestive power only It should be applied to all foods. The real expla nation Is very different, it is that fruit freshly gathered Is lilted for eating and lessens in value as the hours pass. That Is true not of fruit only, but of all veg etables. That which comes direct from the garden to the table is tho most pal atable aud In every way best fitted for consumption. Oik- .lilt a n time.
