There are three cigar factories ia
Columbus, and they make good cigars,

A newG. A. B. post has lately been
organised in the city of Chicago which
meets every Sunday afternoon in place
of the usual custom of meeting even

A law was passed in the early part
of this session of the legislature that
makes it unlawful for any township or
precinct to vote bonds to aid in the
building of any railroads. Nobody
paid any attention to the passage of
this bill, and nobody seemed to care
much about it Now Boone county
seems to think that they have a chance
to get a railroad company to build to
Albion, if they will vote bonds, and a
strong lobby was sent to Lincoln to
- make an effort to have the new law
.repealed. They are willing to have
the law read that it shall take a two
thirds vote to carry such bonds. That.,
ought to be a pretty good safeguard,
but it would not look well to have a
,.. law repealed during the same session
it was enacted, so our Boone county
friends might as well go home.

According f to Grover Cleveland,
W.J. Bryan, Edgar Howard and
others, the issue at the next president
ial election will be the tariff The
republician party will cheerfully ac
cept that issue. The Dingley tariff
law has been in operation now some
twelve years and each succeeding year
seems to be more prosperous than the
preceding one. What bettereconomic
conditions can the American people
ask for or expect than we are now hav
ing? The only class of men that have
any cause for complaint are the men
working for fixed wages, and as a rule
sul.jUttir salaries are being raised and
everyone can readily find employment.
Do the American people want the
protective tariff removed and have
' our manufacturers complete with fore-
ign labor? Do we want the conditions
as they .existed during Cleveland'sad-
nunistraction repeated, our factories
idle, Coxey armies, soup houses, ect,
and European factories working over
time? What if Massachusetts shoe
manufacturers want free hides? Isn't
it better for Nebraska to have good
prices for cattle and hides? What if
shoes are a little higher than they used
to be? Can we not well afford to pay
the difference? Suppose steel rails are
protected too much, so long as the
farmers of Nebraska are getting such
v-1ag prices for their grain, their cattle
their batter and eggs,' in fact, every
' Hang they have to sell. Why should

erican people will again snow the
democrats under.
The Nebraska legislature has ad
journed. The great mam of our peo
ple are well satisfied with its work.
The present session had hardly begun
before suck democratic papers as the
Oataha World-Herald and the Colum
bus Telegram proclaimed that the
republican members of the legislature
would not fulfill their party pledges,
but they did, and then some. The
two cent fare bOl was not in the repub
lican platform and was not advocated
by Governor Sheldon, yet so long as
an many other states are enacting sim
ilar laws, it was best perhaps to pan
hV The emergency clause should not
have been attached so as to give the
railroad companies a fair chance to
adjust their interstate as well as local
rates. If the railroad.companies had
net fought the payment of their just
taxes, they undoubtedly would have
at the hands of our leris-
The terminal tax law, as it
is a good thing for Omaha, and
of comparatively small value to the
balance of the state. The redactis
of 15 per cant on graia,.et&,'is a fair
and just law and will nndoabtedly be
enforced by our railroad commission,
The law which forbids all foreign in
surance companies from taking their
cases, when sued, from the state to the
United States court, looks liken freak
law. We thiak the courts will declare
it unconstitutional, and are ampriaed
that Governor Sheldon failed to veto
it The state priauiry law we consider
of no practical benefit to anyone, jast
passed because it was in the platform
and because it is a fad to have sack a
law. We predict its unpopularity all
over the rural districts, and its repeal
at the next session of our legislature.
The State university should have re
ceived more liberal support, but the
senate was apparently afraid of the cry
of extravagance. The bill making it
an offense for a legal voter not to cast
his vote at every election was killed,
as it should have been. Every free
American citisen should feel it to be
his duty to exercise his franchise at
every election, yet this is" a free .coun
try and nobody should be forced to
vote. Take it all in all, the legisla
ture just adjourned has made a spl
did record.
Mart far f fiassliag.
Governor Sieldon has signed S. F.
227, by King of Polk, a free high
school bill that permits students to
attend an' adjacent high school and
the school district of his residence to
levy a tax to pay his tuition, not to
exceed seventy-five cents per month.
State Superintendent MoBrien is no
doubt immensely pleased over the pas
sage of this billT He has been work
ing strenuously for a number of years
for legislation of this sort that would
stand the test of the courts. We pre
sume that he and the other friends of
the measure feel they have created an
act this time that will hold water.
Wabea's Anthem.
The Star Spangled Banner has
been officially recognized as the nation
al anthem of the United States, and its
dirgelike notes will .hereafter be by
authority of the Government heard
upon all suitable occasions. Among
the other honors which will be n mili
tary salute, the U. S. Army Regula
tions, having been so amended that
when the national anthem is played
by the band on any formal occasion,
or at any place where persons belong
ing to the military service are present,
they shall stand attention,and even if
not in ranks they shall render the pre
scribed salute. The position of salute
must be maintained until the last note
has been played. The regulations
further provide that when the air is
played through once, with repetitions
or variations except where repetition
is called by the score. It is also
directed that the same respect as
accorded The Star Spangled Banner"
shall be observed when the national
air of any other country is played as a
compliment to official representatives
of the foreign country.

OrdQmixx.
According to dispatches from Ft.
Dodge, Iowa, as published in the daily
papers the city council of that town
has recently pawed an ordinance that
is the little the best thing of the kind
that has come
to our attention for
sometime.
The ordinance provides

age of 25 and 45 yean whose mental
and physical propensites and capabili

be exalted to a state of connubial bliss
and any person failing to comply with
the provisions of this ordinance shall
be fined a sum not less than $10 nor
more than $100, according to the de
gree of his criminal negligence. Thus
far we have not heard any of the no
minees on either of the tickets in Ord
for political honors express their opin
ion on such an ordinance, but we are
of the opinion that anyone of them
could secure an election by announc
ing themselves in favor of
such an ordinance in Ord.

The delightful art of walking,. the
happy practice of vagabondage which
Stevenson and Whitman praised so
well, the most innocent of pastimes,
the simplest of exercises, iaindanger
of falling into abeyance -says Bliss
Carman in the Delineator; for April.
Our fashionable people affect one
rediculous manner of walkingand then
another, year and after, bat almost no
one thinks it worth while- to learn to
walk normally. There can be no 'uni
form fashion of "good walking. The
normal walk is not a matter of caprice,
but of art; it lends itself to the infinite
varieties of character, and becomes in
each instance expressive of the indi
vidual; so that we recognise a man by
his gait as easily as by his voice. The
nrsc requisite oi gooa waiting ma
good poise. If the body is well poised
at each poiht of its motion, the motion
itself must be good. The. process of
walking which has been described as
series, of falls, is, to be somewuat more,
accurate, a series of mils and recover-.1
ies so insensibly merged that there is.
no saying where the fall ends and tbei
recovery begins. In walking we are
in a state of unstable equilibrium. We!
pass gradually frem one position to;
another, yet are never out of poise.
We are playing with gravity. A good
walker spins the earth deftly beneath
his feet, as an acrobat in a circus,
lying on his back, spins a barrel or a
painted baU.

The verdict of every one who visits
Central City now is that it' is getting
to be a great railroad center. Trains
are in the yards constantly, gangs of
workmen are putting down track, dis
tributing material and pushing con
struction work. Things are so badly
cluttered up that trainmen and em
ployes are praying for the completion
of the double track. If the weather
continues good the track from Lock
wood will reach Central City in a
week or ten days.
A gang of workmen began yester-,
day morning to extend the Strorasburg1
track westward to the depot The!
main line is so crowded thai the new)
passenger has been delayed every
evening from forty-five minutes to an
hour in getting into the yards and-up
to the depot. The new track is of at
temporary character and it may be
taken ud later. Some think that its
construction means that we are to have
no ne depo n the track runs right
through the proposed depot site.
The Burlington bridge crossing the

burned once or twice before, It is
thought the line can be opened today

But Without Avail.
This befog a true story of a recent
occurrence the promlaent politician
will be kaowa as Mr. John Brown, and
his latimate Mead, a politician of
less prominence, as Mr. James Mc
Coy. It seems that at about noon
Mr. Brown waa uadaly exhilarated
when seen by his xrlead, and after
cractmg from him a promise that he
would at once go home Mr. McCoy
weat to his omce. About three o'clock
In the afternoon he responded to a
telephone call, aad was jast a little
lurried on learning that Mrs. Brown
was at the other ead of the wire.
"Have you seen John to-day?" she
asked.
"I did, Mrs. Brown. He was called
away on Important business this
morning, but just a little while ago I
got a message from him that he would
start back on the next train. Hell
be in town In about an hour.
Mr. McCoy was still at work In his
omce at five o'clock when again he
was called to the telephone. Agala
It was Mrs. Brown.
"Has John got back yet, Mr. Mc
Coyr 'Tea, but he had several Important
matters to attend to, and just started
for the street car a few minutes ago.
Hell be home In three-quarters of an
hour at the latest"
1 am very much obliged, Mr. Mc
Coy, but I put John to bed half an
hoar ago."
All of which goes to show that there
are times when a lie well stuck to Is
not as good as the truth.

Cremation of the Dead.
Cremation la one of the most an
,dent methods of disposing of the dead.
.Before the beginning of the Christian
.era, cremation prevailed among all
jdvlllzed aations, except the Jews, Chi
'aese and Egyptians. Later, however,
.this form gave way to earth burial.
: Cremation has had a revival during
the last few years, and from one cre
matory in existence In 1880, there
were over 50 in 1890. and since then
-others have been added to jthe list
.each year. Cremation is common In
Japan, where 47 per cent, of the dead
are incinerated. The first crematory
.ia the United States was built at
Washington, Pa., In 1876, by Dr. Le
Moyne, and the first Incineration there
was that of the body of Baron de
Palm, which took place in December
of the same year.- This was the only
'crematory in the United States until
1884. Sunday Magazine.
Mount Kosciusko Park.
A hundred square miles of country

years ia Australia and did some valu

He waa probably the first discoverer
of gold in Australia, but at the request
of the local goverameat, which feared

Some oMtlme superstitions are dying
out. but for eadrof them a new one
.comes sometimes two."
Dr. George B. Vincent of ,the Unl
veratty of Chicago made this remark
;JasC after he had anlaaed a talk to
atudeata at maaual tralalag high
school, says the Kansas City Star.
; "The irst I ever knew of SHperstt
ittons, he said, "waa when my father
sbroke a mirror at home. It worried
him, aad I asked my mother why.
"It'a bad lack.' she said.
: "'Bad luck I pondered. Why la it
bad luckr It was a mystery to me.
But I began leamlag something about
these mysterious beliefs. 'It brings
.bad luck to cut the cord on a pack
age,' they told me. 'It should be un
tied.' 'It's bad luck to put bn the left
shoe first,' and 'it's bad luck to get out
on the wrong side of bed.' No one
knows why all these things bring evil,
but many persons believe they do.
"In the south so many superstitions
origlaate among the negroes that they
are almost Innumerable. No one ex
plains the reasoas for their 'voodoos.'
"Some superstitions are sensible.
For Instance, It la said bad luck will
come if one passes beneath a ladder.
Maybe it will. Maybe some persons
have been taught valuable lessons la
passing beneath them. It Is uncom
fortable to have a bucket of paint or
an ax dropped on one's head. Perhaps
this superstition originated from some
one who underwent such an experi
ence. "The belief that if you pass a pin
without picking it up you will have
bad lock originated many years ago.
Pins were costly then and children
were taught to pick them up and keep
them for their value. They formed
the habit, and it has been handed
down from generation to generation
until it has become a superstition.
Perhaps some children who did not
pick up pins had bad luck when they
got home bad luck administered by
the parent, forcibly and quickly, and
with stinging effect'
Dr. Vincent smiled when he spoke
of the number 13. So many persona
are afraid of it he did not deem it
worthy of mention.
Last week Dr. Vincent waa lectur
ing on the subject, "Superstition.' He
declared that everyone had some par
ticular superstition to which deference
was shown. An old woman who had
listened attentively arose and declared
she had none.
"None at all?" she was asked.
"None," she replied.
A gray-haired man sitting by her
side nudged her.
"How about them coffee grounds?"
he asked.
She blushed and took her seat. And
of course the audience laughed.
Gounod's Old Guitar.
St. Cloud Is about to do honor to
the memory of Gounod. The illustri
ous composer at one time lived there,
and for years inhabited a pretty villa,
at Montretout, where he composed,
the greater number of his master
pieces. During the Franco-Prussian war the
German soldiers sacked the property
and burned down the house. Every
thing was destroyed with the excep.
tion of a guitar, which to-day Is to be
seen In the Opera museum. This gui-I
tar Is precious to admirers of "Faust"'
and "MlrelUe" for more than one rea
son, for it la said that Its chords re
sounded to the composer's first must-!
cal conceptions. It bears in the cen
ter, written by the master's hand, thej
words: "Neml aprile, 1862."
It Is now proposed to erect a monu-A
ment to Gounod, which will be sur-j
mounted by a bronze reproduction of
J. B. Carpeaux'a bust of the great mu-
stdan.
Cup Winning Stream.
In the New Britain city clerk's of
fice is a silver cup enclosed in a glass
case, says the Hartford Times. The;
cup was won by New Britain firemen
In a state parade and tournament In:
New Haven 50 years ago. The event,
which the firemen won was a stream
throwing contest Fifty or more of j
the husky fire laddies dragged a small)
"tub," as It was called, through thej
streets of the Elm City, and the crowd;
on the sidewalks laughed and Jeered:
the firemen from the Hardware City.-
"Laugh, if you will, but he laughs'
best who laughs last," yelled back thei
foreman In answer to a particularly',
noisy party, and he expectorated to-':
bacco juice.
In the contest the stream from thei
"tub" was thrown skyward far in ex-;
cess of other competing teams. The;
next day the company returned to the!
home city and were given a reception!
In spite of the prevailing heavy rain-'
fall. The foreman of the company!
spoke, and In his remarks said:
"This water fall is the water which:
was sent up In New Havea yester-!
day." ;

DID NOT ENJOY HIS RIDE.
Reporter Happened to Travel with Hie
Friend, the Sheriff.
Reporters are la the general course
of events the recipients of countless
favors. Some courtesies extended to
them, however, are prone to bring
with them an aftermath that Is act
altogether pleasurable; as, for In
stance, the other day a reporter In a
neighboring city accepted the hind
offer of a police court official to have a
ride, when the official, by the way,
waa en route to the jail.
The reporter happened to be going
that way, so accepted the favor. He
had ridden but a block or two when
he passed oae of his acquaintances,
who, looking up at him gave him a

war." Aad to-day we have "krieg
