A Disgraceful Affair.

NEWPORT, Neb, April e. Special to THE
BEE. Perhaps the most disgraceful scene
which has occurred during the county seat
fight and contest in Rock county, took place
at Bassett, at the recount of all the precincts,
by order of the supreme court on Tuesday
of the past week. Three of Newport's citi
zens were there with their attorney, Mr..
Hayes, of Norfolk, to see the count. After
the count was over, MIR. Hayes who is
a one-armed gentleman, and unfortunately
not able to defend himself, was confronted
by a. H. Tingle, county attorney, who, en-
thused by rum and surrounded by some Of
the chosen members of his gang, threatened
to demolish Hayes, calling him all the vile
names his tongue could command. The pres
ence of Orrin Smith, of Newport, who is
generally looked upon as not healthy man
to fool with, decided Tingle that he had bet
ter not try his physical prowess on the one
armed attorney. Tingle next turned his at
tention TO a respectable farmer, sixty-five
years old whom he attempted to put to
sleep without the preliminary Of calling
time.
The last count cuts Bassetts majority
down to 81. When the SO votes which it is
claimed were cast after the polls closed are
thrown out, IL will give Newport the county
seat by about eight votes over the field.
X. q. Evans, who filed the mandamus suit
for q recount, and who has recently moved
to Milwaukee, writes that he has received
several large offers. from Bassett, to with
draw the case from the supreme court.

In an interview in Jail to day Webber stated
that after ne was pardoned by Governor

changed his name TO have secured greater
immunity from detection had 1t not been for
his children, the change of whose names
would have been very difficult matter.

Wit and Wisdom,

Truth and Gil always come to the surface.
 The greatest fool is he who inn poses on himself.
 A woman's sphere-that she won't get rich husband. Disappointment is often the only thorn that guards the rose.
 Honest men are soon bound, but you can never bind knave. Lost m the outskirts-a woman, when she can't find her pocket.
 To write good story for the pub. lie one must have good upper story of his own.
 The virtue of prosperity is tenn perance; the virtue of diversity is fortitude.
 Thy friend has a friend, and thy friends frien has friend; there fore. be discreet It is faith in something and enthu- siasn for something that makes life worth looking at.
 Evil habits aro webs which are too light to be noticed until they are too strong to be broken.
 The praises of others may be of use in teaching us not what we are, but what We ought to be.
 A good many men who are talking very bitterly about tho difficulty of getting into church have never tried it.
 Happiness does not consist of earthly possessions or in distin- guished positions, for both are per | ishahle, but In the consciousness of having done an act that gives con- sciousness to others.
 In the depth of the sea the water Is still; the heaviest grief is bourn in silence; the deepest love flows through the eye and touch; the most impressive preacher at the funeral is the silent one whose lips are cold.
 Some people speak as if hypocrites were confined to religion; but they are everywhere people pretending to wealth when they have not six pence, assuming knowledge of which they are ignorant, shamming cul- ture which they are far removed from, adopting opinions they do not believe.

The Meanest Man,

A man who kicks his wife ont of bed on a cold winter morning when the thermometer is 30 degrees below zero. to build fire, is mean man. A church member who is worth SI0O.- GOO and pays his preacher Sl year IS very mean cuss with whom the angels will never care to associate. A man who will live two weeks on soup made from two horn buttons is mean and niggardly creature on whom the devil will never care to feast. The man who will beat his child for poking its finger in a pail of water and inquiring what became of the hole when it took its finger out, is very bad man. The man who loafs on street corner for the sole purpose of making remarks about ladies who chance to pass by, is one who ought to be stretched up by the heels till that part where the brain ought to be is filled with blood. But the meanest man the Lord ever let live on the face of the globe is one who will refuse to take his paper out of the postollice when he owes two or three dollars for back sub scription. ."- Exchange.

Samoan Islands.

A few weeks ago visitor asked where the Samoan Islands were.
 Many pupils were in the room hut none could tell him. It seemed they had never heard of them before. Az much is said in the papers now about these islands we will tell the pupils something about them and the little war that occurred on them short time ago.
 Nine small islands constitute the Samoan group. In our geographics they are called Navieator's islands. They are in the Pacific ocean. abon, 5000 miles southwest of san Fran cisco. Opolce is the name of the largest one, and it is much smaller than Travis county. The soil on some of these islands is very iich. Sugar cane. cotton, cocoanui! oranges, pineappie-. lemons and many other fruits are raised there They send fruit to America and Europe. Dry goods. groceries and lumber are sent from the United States to them.
 The people on these islands had a government of their own. Molietoa was their king for many years. He is now about 7S years old. He is kind, good old man. His people like him very much. He gave the United States a harbor called Pango- PangO. It is the best harbor on all these islands. It is beautiful. and safe place for our ships. The United States paid nothing for it, and for this kindness promised to be friend to King Malietoa and his people and help them in time of trouble.
 The natives raise many cocoanuts They gather them every year. dry them and sell them in Germany. The Germans make oil of the nuts. Raising and selling cocoanuts proves to be a successful business. The natives were making money fast. The German traders saw it. became ieal- nus of them and wanted to take their islands so they would not have to pay for the cocoanuts. They had q fight with the natives and about one hundred men were killed. The Elm peror of Germany sent many soldiers to the islands to defeat the natives Then King Malietoa did not try to defeat the German army; he did not try to escape, because he thought the United States would help him. He waited for soldiers. but none came to help. The Germans captured him, carried him away and put him ih prison on little island near Africa. Then the Germans chose a king of their own and have declared war against the islands. The natives are much troubled because their old king is in jail far away and they can not see him. Many people think President Cleveland did wrong in re- fusing to send soldiers to help them. - Exchange.
