Iu 1904 the United States Census issued a bulletin giving the number of prisoners in the several states aud the ratio to population. Nebraska in that year had 519 prisoners in the peniten tiary and county jails, which was 48. persons per 100,000 of iopiiIatiou. The same authority shows that Kan sas had 2,87'J prisoners, or 19:J.!J to every 100,000 of population. The prohibition state of Maine had 4 prisoners, or 70 to the 1 00,000 of po pulation. Certainly the license state does not suffer a great deal in this respect in comparison with conditions in prohibition states. The ratio is bas ed upon the census of 1900, which gave Kansas 1,427,09(1, ami Nebraska, 1,058,910. If in the matter of crime and prisoners, Nebraska iu that year had descended to the low level upon which we find Kansas, the jails of our state would have contain '-d 2,14 pri soners, whereas the actual number was but .019. Four to one! The State. HEALTH AND THE NATION. Most public questions are really simple. During discussion they often become so obfuscated by people who want them obfuscated that they seem difficult. But that is only seeming. Such, for instance, is the ea.e of the proposal to establish a national agency for promoting the health of the peo ple. There is no way that funds, whe ther of government or of private wea lth, can be more profitably spent than in promoting health. The scientific knowledge of the world is just at the point to be applied with maximum re turns. The federal government can do little directly. It cau do a vast work indirectly. Much of the work it cau do cannot be done by either states or municipalities. The proof of what can be done indirectly lies both in the government's present scattered efforts toward promoting health and in the work of those other branches of the federal government which were created to organize aud apply the accumulating store of scientific knowledge. The friends of the movement to have a special agency for health promotion created at Washington are now argu ing whether a health bureau or a heal th department should be created. They ought not to waste too much ef fort on that. If they cannot all agree on the major programme they ought ' all to agree on the minor aud make a start. Chicago Uecord-H erald. THEY HUSH EVERY! HINC. UP. York editors, who are iu accord with much of the plan of running York as a purely moral city and who keep all news out of the papers that would tend to show the outside world that theirs was anything but a btrictly right and virtuous place, have balked and enter a protest. The York editors never whisper as to any "bootlegging" going on by York citizens and if one gets "booze" from some .source and im bibes it it is suppressed. Any police court news is forgotten and for the sake of the reputation of the good peo ple of York any crime like the one re ferred to is suppressed and nothing done for fear that publicity would humiliate the .citizens and give the city a bad name. But when the auth orities proceed to shut out pool halls and close up every place where jeople can congregate in a social way and leave open only churches and Y. M. C. A. rooms, those editors call a halt and enter a protest and while carefully worded, their articles tell a story that needs- no tinting by us. While the people of York and vicinity may be a class that prohibition and the cur tailing of all personal lilerties goes with, which would not be in this and many other Nebraska communities, yet it is evident that what is done in York is simply to drive under cover where it is much worse than it is iu the open. Those newspaper articles sim ply are evidences, told in an unwilling way, tht the effort to suppress by law does not succeed. Schuyler Free Lance. BITS OF EARLY NEBRASKA HISTORY. ' The Cheyenne county of today is but a feeble imitation of the Cheyenne of thirty years and more ago. At that time it comprised 5,100 square miles, being 102 miles long from east to west and fifty miles wide. Later Deuel, Kimball, Banner and Scott's Bluff were carved out of it, and recently it was cut in two again to make half of it the count of Garden. In the old days Cheyenne was the great cattle country. The first great herd was brought there in 18G9 by Edward Creighton, the Omaha man, who made millions out of the cattle business. Others followed, and lor many years great herds ranged there and the 'cowboy was supreme. The battle of Ash Hollow, in which Gen eral Harney sadly worsted a large body of Indiaus7 was fought in this county in 185". In this county in the early days roamed the famous outlaw, Alf Slade. Julesburg, just across the line in Colo rado, was the stage station, and Slade was the superintendent JulesBeni.a Frenchman, after whom the town was named, offended Slade and the latter swore he would cut off the French man's ears and wear them as watch charms. Beui took no chances, aud wounded Slade. He escaped, but a year or so later lie returned and Slade fulfilled his threat, actually wearing the ears on his watch chaiu. Fort Sedgwick, on the southern Hue of Cheyenne county, was a frontier garrison intended to protect early Ht tiers. In 1805 the fort was captured by the Sioux and the garrison butch ered. The troubles with the Indians were kept up lor many years. They ran off stock from the ranches, settlers were attacked and killed, stages aud emigrant trains were waylaid. These were ended in 180!), when General Carr, assisted by Bill Cody as chief of scouts, pursued and slaughtered a large body of Sioux near Fort Sedgwick. Ou the completion of the Union Pacific railroad to within about fifty mil?J of the western boundary of the state, iu the fall of 18C7, a town was laid out and called Sidney. Previous to 1870 the county had been attached to Lincolu county, but that summer the citizens organized and secured the issuance of a proclamation by Gover nor Butler for a secial election. The first and only county seat of Cheyenne has been Sidney. The first building was a log house brought iu from his rauch by a Frenchman, who utilized it as a saloon aud supply store. There was no town within a hundred miles aud being in the center of a stock raising region, Sidney rapidly grew. New impetus was given it wheu the gold excitement in the Black Hills broke out. Sidney became the out fitting point for many expedition, and stage and freight stations were estab lished there. At one time as high as a million pounds of freight left there daily. Strangers thronged the streets daily on their way to the front. Bull whackers were there with their freight wagous, gamblers with their imple ments. Sidney was a rough frontier town aud murders were not infrequent Iu 1879 a man named Keed was lynched for killing a respected citizen named Loom!, who had been accused by Heed's mistress of accosting her as she walked down the street The lynching was no vulgar rope pulling. Reed was given the choice of being hanged or hanging himself. He chose the latter. A rope was put around his neck, the other end being attached to a telegraph pole. He coolly walked up the ladder with the rope around his neck and jumfied off. In 1881 the decent folks iu Sidney decided to break the rule of the gam blers, who ran the town with a high hand. They raided the places of evil resort, and arrested a number of men. A gambler named McDonald, who had indulged iu many threats of kill ing and who led the opposition, was lynched as a result of the trouble. This was one of the last of a number of lynchings. For some years murders were so frequent that the citizens lie came careless and hardened. Iu the dance halls most of the killings occur red, but the usual thing was to tumble the corpse iut) a corner and on with the dance. It generally took two or three killings to break up one of these rough affairs. The class that made the trouble were not residents, but transients, and when these passed on with the settliug down to regular bus iness, Sidney became as staid and law abiding as any other town in the state. Lincoln News. Mr. Bryan has sticcumlted to the in fluences which surround his home. Lincoln is the nucleus of more societ ies for the reform of mankind than any other spot, of its size, on earth. One can find anything there from socialism to Seventh Day Adventism; from raw food cranks to spiritualism; from reli gious orthodoxy to atheism; from labor unions to capitalistic combines. Every other door is a Y. M. C. A., or a college or a church, and between these is either a crank, or a grafter try ing to skin the innocent The city is built on a salt marsh and the inhabit ants never get a breath of real air on less they leave town. Nearly every reformer in Lincoln has one hand on the Bible and the other in someone's pocket. The suburbs consist of more colleges, suburb towns populated most ly by wornout preachers and last yearls deaconesses, while farther out are peni tentiaries and reformatories, idiot homes and lunaticasylums. Fairbury Journal. A ROW WITH PREACHERS. Elbert Hubbard: Bishop Quayle about a year ago, one Sunday evening, took me as a text He was expatiatiug on my life from the Sacred Desk, when a women arose in the audience and stood perfectly still. Such a circumstance is sure to dis concert a speaker, for he loses his audi- fence, and then his confidence. The people are looking at the still, silent figure and wondering what next. An interruption, even though planned in a play, is always exciting. The Pious Bushwhacker felt the Kosmic Kibosh closing down on him, like a summer cjoud. He mopped his brow and his voice became filed with cobwebs. He paused. The little woman said. "I know this man you are discussing; and evidently you do not, for you are stating that which is not true." Just then the organist got on to his job, like Jack Binns on board the Re public. The roar and rush of the' in strument drowned the voice of the wo man, aud on sigual the audience arose and sang, "Pull for the Shore." In the meantime a large poddy Elder with pus plus, placed two fingers under the right elbow of the little woman who had stampeded the elephant, and led her down the aisle to the door. There she was dismissed with a warning that if she ever came back she would be ar rested on charge of disturbing a religi ous meeting, all as duly provided in the statute. In time agone I have occasionally criticized the so-called religious be liefs and professional methods of Rev. Dr. Reuben A. Torrey, Rev. Dr. H. Wilbur Chapman, Rev. Billy Sunday and Bishop Billy Quayle, also certain other Divine Billies and Sams. None of these gentlemen being able to answer logic, nave contented them selves, at odd times and sundry, by calling me vile names. Also they have dived deep into what they are pleased to call my "past." This "past" not being sufficiently salacious, they have taken the liberty of hand-illuminating it. Not so long ago the Reverend Reuben Archer Torrey preached at Montgomery, Alabama, and interject ed into his glad tidings of great joy these words: "In an obscure cross roads town in New York state lives one of the worst men in America. This man is Elbert Hubbard, who publishes atrocious and blasphemous tommyrot and calls it literature. I am told that his publications circulate here in Montgomery, and I want right now to warn you against them. This Fra or Fray wrote a book iu praise of a common woniau, ami afterward married her." I refrain from quoting further. An evangelist can use language in the pul pit that I am not allowed to circulate. However, iu the printed report of the reverend gentleman's remarks con cerning my wife, I find the words, "wanton," "immoral," aud "shameless." If there is any one thing that the true American refrains from, it is re viling the good name of womeu. I have known men who would get drunk, swear and lie, but who had enough of the remnant of the gentle man left, so they would not speak ill of women. Aye! I have seen in the Far West men of this class slip their coats off and oiler to fight the Inducer of some unknown woman. This is the memory of mother, wife, sister or sweetheart But here is an educated man, a clergyman, a man with titles in front of his name and degrees behind,' com ing in the name of the Gentle and Lov ing Christ, standing before thousands of good men and women besmearing with the slime of his foul tongue, a woman he has never seen. He raises back-fence-gossip to the dignity of authority, through the posi tion that he holds. Does Torrey of Tophet think be can talk like this and still elude Nemesis? Does he realize that this woman he reviles could go, and with cold. lead tiud his messianic gizzard shoot him like a dog on the streets, and that no law in America could touch a hair of her head? Does he know that the husband of a slandered wife, according to Com mon Law in America, can call out the slanderer, even though this wife were once a "wanton?" Ask any lawyer! The American home is sacred, and he who tries to disrupt, by villifyinga wife does so at his own peril. And so a lawyer of distinction writes me from Montgomery, say ing, "I heard the Rev. Dr. Torrey's remarks aboat yon and your family. I also have the stenographic report of his sermon, and the newspaper clippings. The langu age is certainly actionable, and I am at your service if desired, without fee, in order if possible to teach these pul pit blatherskites a lesson." Obno, I'm not going to kill Torrey much less does my wife have designs on his ecclesiastic carcass. If there were a shade of truth in his vaporings, we might go after him, but we leave him to the devil in which be believes, and to the hell he preaches; and we ourselves thank the good God that when we pass from this life to an other, we shall not go to the same place where is located the Rev. Dr. Reuben Archer Torrey, Reviler and Traducer of Womanhood. Just in passing let me say, no one who ever saw Alice Hubbard and heard her voice, ever believed ill of her, much less did they use any one of the awful words which this alleged servant of God flings in her direction. Alice Hubbard is reaching out for her fiftieth birthday. The gold of her hair has turned to silver; deep lines of thought and experience furrow her plain but honest face. She has lived an earnest, active and useful life. From childhood, without rest or respite she has been a worker a wage earner. She is a woman of intelligence, and is today one of the world's great women workers. She is a writer, a teacher, the superintendent of a factory, and the manager of a hotel. Every Sat urday she looks a pay roll of over three thousand dollars, square in the eye. She is a creator and a builder. How cheap and silly for a man who does no useful thing, who lives on the labor of others, to revile a woman of this type a woman -with grown up children, whose life is devoted to human needs, and whose heart goes out to the whole world in blessing! Especially does Alice Hubbard think of her own sex in a desire to give them the freedom of opportunity which the mothers of the race deserve. Shu is a woman who knows the great and good who haye lived and worked and loved, and often sublimely failed and nobly died. A woman who loves the memory of Froebel, the friend of chil dren, and lives in the spirit with Eliza beth Fry, Susan B. Anthony and Ralph Waldo Emerson, cannot be reached by the malodorous lyddite sent forth from the lying lips of Torrey, the evangelist. A few weeks ago Billy Sunday was horsewhipped in the pulpit for villify ing womauhood. There were some big welts raised ou the evangelistic legs, but it is doubtful if the lesson will short-stop the Reverend Billy from continuing his libels on the race. The man who stung him up with a buggy whip had no right to do so, and was promptly given a term in jail. A remark made by the judge who sen tenced him is worth quoting: "While it is doubtless true that this defendant and his wife have both suffered from being wrought upon through religious emotionalism, there was no excuse for his assaulting' Mr. Sunday. The de fendant has here stated that Mr. Sun day has reviled the women of this town. Granting for argument's sake that this were true, it gives no man excuse for forgetting law and order. Had Mr. Sunday reviled some partic ular woman to her shame and dis grace, there might then be some ex cuse for some particular man to come to her defense. As it is, the defendant should be punished." The Rev. Walter Holcombe was recently fined five hundred dollars for using insulting language toward a woman in his audience. The woman was a worthy wife and mother. The Georgia court of appeals confirmed the sentence, and said among other things: "Even though the woman were a per-, son of ill repute, the law 'protects her from insult and assault." The Ingenious Magpie. Tbtt magpie is nothing If not ingen ious, lie niwnys barricades bis bulky nest with thorn branches, so that to plunder it Is by no means an easy mat ter, but when circumstances oblige the "pie" to build in a low bush or hedge, an absence of lofty trees being a marked feature of some northern lo calities, he not only interlaces bis home, but also the entire bush. In a most formidable manner. Xordoes be stop here. To "make assurance dou ble sure" he fashions a means of exit as well as an entrance to the castle, so that if disturbed be can slip out by his back door, as It were. London Graphic. Jerusalem. Old Uncle Jasper was buying a post card In a New Orleans postoffice when a genUeman approaching the next window had a small parcel weighed and stamped for Jerusalem. Ou this gentleman's departure Uncle Jasper chuckled and said: "He was jokin', 'wasn't he? "Not at all," returned the clerk. "My, oh, my!" cried Uncle Jasper In an awed tone. "Is It possible ye take letters to Jerusalem? I thought It was above!" flaaaaaaawBaaal -mvmmmVHmmmmi - I BaaaaBaaaaaaBaaKBaVBaalBaafaaaaaa'? i 'iD: 2mmmmmmK9B5Kmlmmw5i r&k WMiwV rs& liami aaaaaaaaaW ?

Some years ago there came to an Amerlcau city a delightful German. Herr vou Blitz, who intended to sup port himself by giving lessous in his native tongue. When he had been here . several mouths and had secured a moderate number of pupils lie went oue day to the mother of one of them and to her great surprise asked for her daughter's hand in marriage. "But, my dear sir," said she. "my daughter lias no fortune." The suitor smiled uon her in an ex pansive generosity. "Me, too." said he reassuringly. "And, although we are not rich, wc have thus far been able to give her every comfort. She is Indeed used to luxury." "Me, too," was the smiling rejoinder. "But, Herr von Blitz, she will never be able to manage affairs." "Me, too," rejoiced the lover. "And I feel obliged to tell you that my daughter has a very higli temper." "Me too me too." That was enough. The mother re tired from the contest, aud the pro fessor won his suit. Quick Justice at Ascot. Not only the horses, but the powers of the law, says the London Chronicle, are swift at Ascot, for the course has a special tribunal for the punish men t of evildoers. Xo" sooner Is the pick pocket, welsher or ticket snutcher ar rested than he Is standing in a little room In the royal stand, where the evidence Is heard and the verdict and sentence nronounci-d before the offend er fully realizes tMt he Is caught. No where else does punish meat so swift- x ly follow crime as at this court, which Is decreed by clause 31 or the in dictable offenses act of 1S4S. Thh race course tribunal arose curiously In the eighteenth century from an as sault upon a royal personage. In his Indignation at the impossibility of in stant punishment of the assailant he ordered that In future a magistrate should always attend the royal race meeting. This has ever since been done, and by the above mentioned act the chief magistrate of Bow street was constituted ex officio a justice of the peace of the county of Berks in order to enable him to hold this court at Ascot. Natural Age of Man. The question as to what Is the nat ural age of mau Is by no means set tled, of course, but many are of the opinion that the Frenchman Kiourens was not far out of the way in his est! mate of the time a man should live. Taking his observations from the group mammalia, of the class vertebra ta, as having the closest resemblance to man and such siecie.s as are per mitted to live the full term of theii natural life under circumstances nut admitting of error or doubt, Flour.1; s found that their natural life extend", d to about. Ave times the period of tl.c-ir lives from birth up to maturity. Ap plying the rule thus obtained to hu man life and taking the age nt which the body is fully matured to be twen ty years, he concluded the natural duration of the life of man to be 10C years. New York American. The Word "Canvassing." How "canvassing" got its election significance is one of the unsolved puzzles of etymology. The word ap pears originally-to have meant tossing In a canvas or blanket and thence gen erally mishandling or assaulting. "I'll canvass thee iu thy broad cardinal's bat," Is the Duke of Gloucester's threat to the bishop of Winchester In "King Henry VI." The next stage ol meaning was that of destructive crlti clsm, from which to thorough discus slon "canvassing" a subject was sim pie enough. But bow exactly did it arrive at the election sense? Dr. John son explained that the term meant "trying votes previously to the deci sion" and derived it from "canvas, as it signifies a sieve." The Oxford Dic tionary, however. Is uuable to find this use of the Vord. kmtKw--- -.vxaaHaoBi '.va v;.-?. bBLbbsTBk i Msms i i i' painaaawaMaaywrijqH.'.tAy- --t:gv62. Elevating.
