WASHINGTON. Julr H. ( Special. )
TVhen the count it completed of the ac
credited consular representatives of the
United Slater to Joreien countries. It U
confidently believed , that Nebraska will be
found to have been well talen care of by
the president. So far as can be ascertained
Nebraska has never heretofore had more
than two consul * nt any one time For
neveral years but one consular representa
tive has been credited to the Antelope state
that of consul general at Panama , Colom
bia , which carries with it a salary of M.OUl )
per annum. By reference to the record-
will be found that Nebraska has not at any
time heretofore had anything like a lair
representation In < tbe diplomatic service.
There are 820 places indicated in the blue
boot which are Important and desirable
Upon the proposition that each state per se
hhould have one representative abroad , it
would leave 275 places to be fairly distrib
uted among the several Elates "When one
conblderB that Nebraska has at least one-
seventieth of the population of the United
States a single consulate is hardly a fair
proportion 2f anythlnc ; like fair considera
tion should be given Nebraska it would be
credited with one fairly Important position
and une-Bt-vcntleth of the remaining " v
places , or four , making five Ss all There is
no question but President McKlnley means
to deal fulrly by Nebraska. He hn Inti
mated this to many representative citizens
who have called upon him In tht past few
weeks and it Is safe to assume that Ne
braska will , when the offices are all distrib
uted , be found among the vcrj first receiv
ing recognition from the executive.
Charles S. Johnson , who was confirmed
last week as district judge of Alaska , is
an old Nebraskan , having served in the leg
islature of 18B3 , which elected ex-Senator
Manderson to the senate for the llrEt time
He was a representative from Saunders
county. In IhB ! * he removed from the state
to take the ptiMtion of district attorney of
Alabka. Judge Johnson , to honor iimwith
his new title , was one of the most con-
pplcuouB members of the delegation that
went to New Tori : last summer 4o notify
Mr. Hobart that the republican convention
had selected him at lit candidate lor vice
president.

Just at sean as his legislative duties will

Jiat he may be in condition to participate in
the campaign in NebraeUa this fall.
A "Washington paper tlie other day told a
plc&fant little etory of the congressman's
vnucg relatives , which will tear repetition in
The Bee. The paper in question said that
Mercer of Nebraska bus a little nephew who
is. in his way. rather a philosopher. Not
long ago. despite the protest of his mother ,
whi remembered what fleeting joys ttalloom
are , he invested his pocket money in a toy
balloon which exploded after a few hours ,
erectly to his diegnet. A few days alter
be was walking on F street and passed thf
balloon merchant. A small noy was in tht
act of purchasing one of the fuscinutlnc ; toys
The concreEsman's nephew Hatched him foi
a few moments and then , with an air of im
merse superiority , he turned to his mother
"Well. " he said scornfully , "there's anothei
darned fool. "
The eame paper has the following to sej
of lire. Mercer , who IE one of the most at
tractive women in official life of the capital
"She's a woman for whom poverty can havf
no terrors , for if she were by any mlschann
to become penrilees , she could win fame an :
fortune as an interior decorator. The Mertei
home in Roanoke street is one of tbi
quaintest and most artistic houses in town
and is filled with delightful souvenirs of if
young mistress' travels from Paris to Hong'
kong. Mrs. Mercer is an exceedingly do
mestic young woman ; but only a few year !
ace she was graduated from the UniTjrsltj
of Minnesota as the. youngest member of 2
verv famous class the class of ' 90. She wai
actually only nineteen when fche took he ;

the average 'varsity student matriculates. '

WASHINGTON. July 24. While the acnat
was In executlv ee-Kioti today Senator Mor
gan suggested the imjinrtance of taking up
and diEpBblug of the Hawaiian annexation
treatj before final adjournment of this ees-
fiion. but the eungcstion was met by n mo
tion of Mr. iMdrlch to resume lepulatlve
business , whlcn prevailed withoul opposi
tion Mr. Morgan did not make a speech
but he suggested thai events of importance
might traiifcpire before another betsion of
congress which would cause the penate to
regtet ite action Tlte Alabama senator's
euggeption was not seconded by any one and
the Indisposition of the netiat ? to consider
the matter wa BO apparent that Mr. Morgan
did ciot priisi it. The underc-.anding is that
the treaty will be taken up on the- convening
of congrece next December

WASHINGTON , July 24. Secretanof
Agriculture Wilson believetr that congress at
its next sef-slon will authorize the establish
ment of agricultural experiment Ftations in
Alaska He said today that he had no doubt
the people in some parts of Alahkt would be
able to f/roduce their own vegetables and
to tome ertent the cereals they will need.
The hard } classes of animate , he tali , also
could be grown there. The cattle from the
mountains of Scotland , be believed , could be
raised successfully in Alaska , but no far as
IB known now tbe mining regions in the
vicinity of the headquarters of the Yukon
river are about 1,000 miles , away frnin any
oart of Alaska in which agriculture could ba
succcMifully pureutid.

State department or the Japanese legation
here co-ornmtcry of tbe report ihat Japan
hat agreed to the propo&al of tbe Hawaiian
government to arbitrate the question at issue
between the two governments. It is not
doubted that this la a fact , ouch unoul-UJ

that a satisfactory ouicomc of the affair has

ties of wifehood
is not fitted by good health for
position and for the responsibili
ties of jnotherhood. If a woman suffers
from wenknebs and disease of the organs
that mate wifehood and motherhood JK -
eible , the bhould xemedy these conditions
before assuming the respom-ibilities of a
wife , Otherwise , the stands little chance
of proving a happy and cajiable wife , and
motherhood will always menace her with
the terrors of death.
A sure and quirk cure for all weak
ness and disease that unfits a woman for
matrimony and maternity is found in Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts
directly and only on the organs involved.
It makes them strong und healthIt
cures all weakness aud disease. It pre

Taken during the expectant period it
makes baby's coming easy und compara
