He had lived under a mental cloud since 1886.

Denmark makes the claim that there is not a single person in her domain who can not read and write. That seems almost incredible. The average man, not having been taught to think, cannot be trusted to feel. When one's heart gets into one's head it is the sole tenant."

Grace Teal furnishes the St Louis Globe-Democrat with the following method for keeping beef for summer use: "Fry, ready for the table and then put down in a jar, and pour over it the grease in which it was fried." Superintendent Wolfe of South Omaha, formerly a professor in the State university, has been mentioned in connection with the chancellorship of the State university.

Sunday cablegrams from London said that rumors were in circulation inai General Cronje, with an army of 7,000, had been captured. No confirmation, however, could be obtained. A dispatch from Jacobsdal, Feb. 18 said: "General Kelly-Kenny is still pursuing the Boers. He has now captured more than 100 wagons.

The Highland brigade reinforced him after a forced march. General French has left Kimberley to join in the pursuit of the Boer army. The Guards have occupied the Boer position at Magersfontein." News from Ladysmith, Saturday (by heliograph, via Weenan) says: The Boers have been very active here during the last few days and are evidently making a move somewhere. The garrison, greatly delighted to learn of the relief of Kimberley, is in excellent spirits and fit for anything. Gen.

A dispatch from London, Feb. 19 says it is now amply confirmed that General Cronje escaped.

Evert citizen of Nebraska ought to be proud of the wise provisions made by the early state fathers for the public school system. The setting aside of two sections of every township, to be sold or leased and the proceeds to be a permanent school fund, was one of the noblest measures ever adopted by any state. We have a splendid school system, too, and as nroereseive a set of teachers as can be found in the United States. State Superintendent Jackson's annual report for 1899 shows that the total resources of the schools for that year were The value of all nMinnl nronertv is S9.215.219.98. The school population of the state is 372,764 anil ttiAK are 6.710 school houses.

The foregoing is from the pencil of Mr. How ard, editor of the Schuyler Sun, who has been a county superintendent of public instruction, and has had exceptional opportunities of knowing the persons engaged as school workers, throughout the state. While all intelligent citizens are proud of the provisions of our laws regarding education, there is not a particle of doubt but there are very many features of the practical carrying into effect of those laws that need attention. Occasionally you will find an individual trying to exercise the functions of county superintendent that does not possess ordinary common sense, or any of those qualities that such an official ought to have; we have known them who were habitual drunkards; habitual gamblers; reputed rakes, and yet, through the trickery of manipulation of party caucuses, have been able to secure nominations, and contrive to defeat better men, because the voters would have it so. The state of Nebraska calls and holds her school fund "sacred," but the best way to make it sacred in reality, is to place a good teacher in every school room, and a thoroughly upright man, wide-awake educator and scholar, conscientious in the discharge of his duties, as county superintendent; then a still better man and organizer as state superintendent Nebraska, however, is far better than most of the states, but progress is written in the very nature of things, and the schools are necessarily pretty near the head of the procession, with the Harmony band in the lead, Stand up, Nebraska.

The Lincoln Journal of Wednesday last had the following concerning a former citizen of Fremont, very well and favorably known to many Journal readers: "Dr. L. J. Abbott of South Omaha was suddenly stricken with paralysis yesterday morning while sitting at his breakfast table. The whole left side is affected and although he is slightly better this morning, grave apprehension exists as to his recovery.

This was the second stroke of paralysis that Mr. Abbott has experienced, and his father died from the same cause. Dr. Abbott is perhaps one of the best known physicians in the state and it was only during the past year that he took up his residence in this city after resigning the position of superintendent of the hospital for insane at Lincoln. Some of the most noted men of the state have been under his care at various times." Mr.

McDonald, who some weeks ago left here for a visit to his old home in Canada, came near being conscripted into the British army while there. He had only taken out his first papers in the United States, and he was notified that he must not come back here until he had served his allotted time in the army. He slipped out, however, and came home. Fremont Herald. George F.

Becker, of the geological survey, who has just returned from a year's visit to the Philippines, reports the outlook for gold and other valuable metals in those islands as meager. He aaya there is a better chance of getting rich on gold in the Southern states than in the Philippines. He however, the islands rich in coal deposits. tXXXSOOQOQOQQOe said in 1865 ixxxsooe; The New York World, a staunch democratic paper, calls attention to the fact that the New York State bureau of labor and statistics in its report for 1899 says mat "at the end or December, 1898, 27.2 per cent of all the working people in all trades were unemployed. At the end of March, 1899, the unemployed amounted to iae percent.

At the end of June the percentage was 10.9. At the end of September it had sunk to 4.7 percent." And the "World" adds that at the present moment it is "incalculably small," and further says, "How much these simple figures mean of prosperity! How much they mean of happiness in the home lives of hundreds of thousands! How much they mean of welfare for the country! What a warning they hold for politicians who would start another 'calamity' campaign!" To this the democratic Washington "Post" adds that "reports from other states are of like tenor. Never before in the history of this country was labor in such demand as at present; never before was the general average of wages so high; never before were the deposits in savings banks increasing so rapidly; and there is the strongest promise that this most happy situation will continue for some years." During J. Sterling Morton's term as secretary of agriculture at Washington, some of the employes of the department sided with the silver people, and Morton, to give them an object lesson, ordered their pay, one month, to be given them in silver dollars. They have never forgiven Morton for that thing.

Paper dollars are mostly used at Washington. The United States steamship Nero, during its recent survey for a trans-Pacific cable, broke the record for deep-sea soundings. One sounding near Guam island marked 5,160 fathoms and another 5,269 fathoms, only 66 feet short of six statute miles. That is deeper than the height of the highest mountain peak on the land surface of the globe. lllllllWMIIIHmJMHHIIMIIBHMIWMll attititiial Motnl.

Up in Boone county they have had more or less trouble with A. D. White of St Edward. The last time, the charge was the illegal selling of liquors. Wednesday, his case was called in the dis trict court at Albion, he pleaded guilty as charged, and was fined $350 and costs.

This goes to show that no matter what the statute law may be, it can be enforced when the people favor the enforcement. Whenever public opinion comes up to the line of duty, and recognizes the fact that the continued, willful violation of law is as a hammer-stroke on the head, an aroused sense of duty makes short work of the malicious violator, but does it "by due process of law" in the courts, and through the peace-compelling authorities. The best interests of the individual tresspasser are presumed to be subserved by strict compliance with the laws of the country. If one man can be allowed to violate law to suit his own base purposes, so may another and another, until anarchy would be at hand. There is no safety except in obedience to law, and if a statute is not just what it should be, its strict enforcement will make that fact known and thus secure its repeal.

These are the chief corner stones of civil society, and all right-minded men recognize them as such. Geld at Oapt Vast. If you want information about the Cape Nome country, how to get there and what it costs, write to J. Francis, General Passenger Agent B. M.

Of course, there are places in Nebraska, where the water is too near the surface to make such a structure practical without the use of water lime.
