A two hundred million bushel corn crop in Nebraska would mean fCO.OOO.OOO provided corn Bells for 25 ccntR, and many say it will soil for more. T-t The Courier again submits that it is bad practice for the board of educa tion to give the teachers such a shaking up every year. The teaching force is demoralized, and no good comes of this feeling of distrust and uncertainty en gendered every spring. The teachers should be elected to hold their positions during good behavior, or until removal for cause. t-t Last week Mat Genng, of Platts mouth, was on trial before Judge Lan sing in this city. A part of this case was tried in the county court just a small part. The major portion was tried in the newspapers. Which calls to mind the fact that Lincoln attorneys are largely given to trying their cases in tho newspapers. Why not let a case at law bo tried and determined in court, without resorting to newspaper assist ance? This is the old fashioned way and it is the better way. tt The Washinton Post hap something interesting to say about Gen. Clarkson, of Iowa, and the Allison presidential boom: "Senator Allison's friends here say that General Clarkson is too officious in dealing with the senator's affairs, and is not authorized to represent him in any capacity. Senator Allison depre cates the somewhat premature launch ing of hiB boom, for he has on former' occasions suffered thereby. Those who are in his confidence state that his policy is to remain in the background for the present and watch the course of events. He is not an aspirant for the nomination in the sense that he is seeking it, and -he realizes that this is too early in the season to begin spec ulating in that direction. The contro versy between the Allison and Clark son elements in Iowa will arouse great interest wherever the two men are known. Allison does not wish to appear too prominently in the presidential campaign until he is out of the senatorial woods. His contest for reelection is coming on and he prefers to make sure of six years in the United States senate, after March, 1897, rather than strike out for the presidential nomination ani perhaps lose both It is said by Senators Allison's friends that General Clarkson has hiB eye on Allison's seat in the senate and for that reason he is anxious to appear as the residuary legate of Allison if the latter should leave the senate." t-t. Charles II. Hoyt was born in Concord, N. II., July 2G, I860. He went to school in Boston and got an appointment to West Point but couldn't stand the physical examination. Then he spent sixmonths on a Colorado sheep ranch and then read law for a while in the office of his father's old friend, ex-Chief Justice Cushing. That being a failure he went into newspaper work, first on a little daily at St. Albans, Vt and then on the Boston Post. One day Manager Harris of the Howard Athenaeum asked him to try his hand at writing a farcical sketch for an afterpiece to the Athen aeum performance. He wrote a bit called "Gifford's Luck," which was so well received that he immediately wrote a thrilling melodrama entitled "Cezalia," which was a flat failure. Then he wrote "A Bunch of Keys" for Willie Edouin and was paid $500 for it. It was first produced at Providence and went very budly. Hoyt's friend, Charles W. Thomas, studied the situation carefully and insisted that the play would make money. Upon his advice, Hoyt bought back the pieco and the partnership of Hoyt and Thomas was established, con tinuing until Mr. Thomas's death threo years ago. Played according to tho author's ideas of characteiization and rehearsed under his supervision, "A Bunch of KeyB"madea hit and was tho beginning of prosperity and fame for Hoyt. "A Parlor Match" followed, it was a three act elaboration of a one act farce by Prank Dumont, aud Evans and Hoey paid Hoyt 33,000 for it. That is the only Hoyt play that its author has not retained control over. It made both Evans and Hoey rich. It was succeed ed by "A Rag Baby."' "A Tin Soldier," A Hole in the Ground," "A Brass Monkey," "A Midnight Bell," "A Texas Steer," "A Trip to Chinatown." "A Temperance Town," "A Milk White Flag" and "A Black Sheep." "China town"' was the most profitable. Jt cleared 8100,000 a ear for two years and its total profits have been half a million dollars. Hoyt is now writing a comedy drama, in which A. C. Anson, the fam ous Chicago base ball captain, will make bis debut upon the stage and a comedy in which Mrs. floyt, Caroline Miskel will have the leading part. This history of a notable success is given by Mr. Hoyt in an interview in the current issue of the Dramatic Jlirror. t-t The Omaha Excelsior finds some thing encouraging in the Commercial Club's banquet to Governor Holcomb. The Excelsior says: "The Commercial Club has tendered a banquet to his excellency. Governor Silas A. Holcomb, who has named the day and date. The announcement of this coming event has provoked considerable gossip in club circles. Of itself there is nothing extraordinary about the matter, but in the light of last year's state campaign, the common run of men cannot recon cile the one with the other, albeit a banquet in honor of the chief magis trate of the commonwealth is and always should be in order whenever any community is moved to tender it. The Commercial club, as its name implies, is an organization of business men and shippers in close business relations with the banks of Omaha and with the railroads whoso headquarters are in this community. These interests are paramount in this community politically if not socially. Their dis pleasure has defeated many men for office, and their opposition to Judge Holcomb last fall lost him this county. The query at once presents itself: Have the banks and the railroads revised their opinion of Governor Holcomb, or is it the Commercial Club acting independently of these powerful spon sors? Such is the nature of the talk about town concerning the prospective banquet, but it is not probable that the gentlemen who are in charge of the matter care a fig what comment is made. Nevertheless it will be very interesting to read the toast card and to note the men chosen to respond to the senti ments of the occasion. This is where the program committee will have to give play to fine discrimination. Will the committee call upon Henry W. Yates, for instance, to respond to a sentiment something like this: "Should Employes Control the Suffrages of Their Employers?" And Senator W. X. Babcock might be asked to talk to this text: "If it be lawful to manufacture oleo in Nebraska why is it not equally lawful to sell it in Nebraska?" Then Mr. Prank Murphy might like to say a few words on the vicissitudes and pit falls of charter legislation, leaving it for Mr. Fred Nash the task of saying what Mr. Murphy thought, but for policy's sake left unsaid. Pact of the matter is, the committee can get up a red hot program if it have a realizing sense of the vast opportunities before it. This however does not refer to Mayor Bemis as a post prandial star. That Silas A. Holcomb has made a good governor goes without saying. Pew people in Omaha could have reasonable cause for complaint. It is owing to this fact that a banquet has been ten dered him. The Commercial Club must not forget, however, that it is offering the governor the opportunity of his life if he chose to take advantage of it. Way back in the recesses of his heart there must lurk some trace of irony, some feeling of resentment at the way his candidacy was received in Omaha. It would only be human nature for him to give some expression on this subject. But there can be no possible doubt of the unqualified success of the banquet. It must not be exclusive, or if so, a public reception should be held so that the entire citizenship of Omaha may. if disposed, shake the band of the governor and give him tho assurance of their respect and goodwill." THE FAMILIAR COMPLAINT. "Horace," said tho young author's wife, "here'fl tho collector agai 1." "Tell him I haven't any cash just at present." "I did tell him that, tie says that a check is due by this time from the mag azine and he'll take that if you'll en dorse it." "Great Scott! This is terrible." "Do you hate to part with the money, dear?" "No. It makes me indignant to be persued in this way for my autograph." 8100 DOLLARS REWARD 8100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatement. Hall's Catarrh Curo is taken internally, acting directly upon tho blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disea so, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testi monals. Address, F.J.
