Advantage of Building Associations.

1t may be stated that the associations
are conducted much more economically
than the banks; that they consequently
pay larger dividends; that they can be
successfully carried on in places toe
small to support bank, and that by adj
vancing money to members to purchase
homes they provide an immediate in
vestment and give the borrower the
strongest possible inducement to continue
his saving.-W. A. Linn in Scribner'a

NEBRASKA Cry, Neb., May Ian
inquest on the body OF the unknown man
killed by a Missouri Pacific train at Dun

fact that it was a deliberate suicide. The
man was seen to go on the railroad track
and lay down inside of the rail with his
head towards the approaching passenger
train, and before the engine could be
stopped the cowcatcher struck the man
fairly on the head, killing him Instantly,
and throwing the body over an embank.

his face smashed beyond recognition, the
left arm torn FROM the socket and a mum
Der of bones broken. There was nothing
about him to indicate who he was, al.

Twenty Million Blanks.

WASHINGTON, May l2.-The govern
ment printing office has just completed
the largest order for printing ever given
in the world. Last February the census
bureau made a requisition for 20, 900, 900
enumeration blanks, and they have Just
been delivered by the public printer. The
immense amount of work required can be
imagined by a little figuring in regard to
the paper used. Taking 4S0 sheets to a
ream, it required ll,45S reams for the
job. Each sheet measured 22x30 inches.
If the public printer had been obliged to
stack these sheets in one pile it would
have been $50 feet high, or one and one-
quarter miles toward the sky. If
stretched out it would have covered
IS. POS, 1873 square feet, while it would
have weighed 229 ions. The government
printing office began the work on March
8, and have just delivered the last sheets.
10 show the large amount OF work the
government printing Office is capable OF, it
may be said that while this work was be.
ing done, the public printer delivered
100000 other blanks of various sizes
and forms to the census bureau, l5,000,-
600 miscellaneous blanks to the other de
partments, 2,555, 642 copies of reports,
documents, bills. etc. for congress. Be-
sides these, every day the Congressional
Record was printed, and the reports of
the other departments were also printed,
averaging l72,SSl volumes. This shows
conclusively that the government print
ing office is the largest establishment of its
kind in the world. 1t took a ton of Irvine
in bundles to tie up the census blanks.

BERLIN, May l2.-During the debate
on the East Africa credit in the reich
stag today, Baron Won Marshall ex-
rl,ined that the mission of Emin Pasha
in Africa on the part of the Germans
would be confined to establishing friendly
relations with those tribes in the interior
within the German sphere of interest and
to estimating the cost of eventually form
ing fortified stations in the interior. In
the negotiations regarding the boundaries
of their respective possessions in Africa,
the predominating wish of the Germans
was to go hand in hand with England and
cultivate the common interests of both
countries.
In the course of the debate on the esti-
mates for the expense of colonies Chan
cellor o Caprivi stated that though he
originally approved the colonial policy Of
the empire, he agreed with Bismarck that
such policy could only be maintained with
the support of the nation. As matters
now stand the government cannot retreat
from its position in regard to colonial al.
fairs without loss of honor and money.
No change of his views on the system
vas to be anyway implied from his as
sumption of office. The government
would everywhere respect foreign rights
and protect German rights.

CLEVELAND. o., May l2-This after
moor Mrs. William O'Keefe Of Washing

neighbours for a pail Of water. The girl
not returning, Mr.. O'Keefe went to as
certain the cause of the delay and found
his daughter at the byirant with a neigh
Dor, Mrs. Allie Daisey. Mrs. Daisey had
O'keefe's daughter by the hair and the
father rushed to the rescue. This brought
Jimmie O'Donnell, who had been watch
ing the women, to the aid of Mrs. Daisey.
O'Donnell struck O'Keefe three savage
blows in the face, knocking him sense
less to the ground. Then jumping upon
the PROSTATE man the assailant kicked
him viciously In the side, and leaving him
upon the ground rushed down Wlnslow
street and out of sight. O'Keefe is dead.
The murderer has not been arrested.

LONDON, May 12.-Glad.tone spoke
at the Golden club tonight. He said that
free traders must recognize with great
disappointment how much ground had
been lost by their doctrine within the last
twenty-five years. Militarism, which
laid like a vampire over Europe, was re-
sponsible for this mischief, but not for
all because free trade had receded 10
countries where militarism did not pre-
yail-in the United States and British
colonies. Profession was applied now in
America not only to goods but to persons,
as instanced by the treatment of Chinese,
The great republic had never accepted
the doctrine of free trade. At one time
there had been unqualified progress to-
ward them, but this was being check
ed and the opinion be-
came actually retrogressiye. Still,
the growing strength, activity and
the clearness OF conviction of the free
trade American party gave favorable
promise OF ultimate triumph at the polls.
On looking over the world the prospects
tor free trade were certainly not ~encourog
ing, This state of opinion had embold

renew the struggle under the name OF
OF fair trade.
Regarding bimetalism Gladstone said it
was a movement in the direction of protec-
ton. Since the adoption of free trade
the wages Of laboring men had improved
SO per cent. England was working out
the great social economic problem for the
benefit of the world. He was confident
that free trade, though temporarily dis
credited, was destined to become the
universal charter of trade and obtain the
general acceptance of the civilized nations.

WASHINGTON, May mckinley of
Ohio moved that the general debate on
the tariff bill be limited to one minute.
Agreed to.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the tariff bill.
No one desiring to occupy the n min
ate the clerk proceeded to read the bill by
paragraphs for amendments.
Breckenridge of Kentucky offered an
amendment Ito come in after the enact
ing c%lause) providing that any citizen Of
the United States who manufactures or
produces articles be entitled to admit free
of daty any article of IN which he
may desire to use in his business to the
value Of articles exported. After ex-
planning that his proposition was to re-
verse the action of the old principle OF
sebate, Breckenridge demanded tellers on
his amendment. Lost-S3 to Ill.
Anderson of Kansas offered an amend
Dent, providing that the president may
suspend the rate of duty on any imported
article when. in his judgment, the produc-
is monopolized or controlled by any trust
u duutuuuGut CAUSED
a lively debate in regard TO trusts.
Grosvenor threw a firebrand into the
discussion by repeating the story in regard
to Havemeyer's influence npon the sugar
schedule in the Mills bill, After this the
debate was beautifully sprinkled with such
phrases as shot gun policy. Z" plantation
slogan, +" ''falsehood. 4" etc.
The matter was finally settled by every
body apologlzing, after which the amend
ment was adopted-87 to 76. Only two
Republicans voted in favor of it. The
announcement of the result was received
with applause on the Democratic side. On
the vote by tellers the amendment was re-
jected-aYes 81, noes ll0-the Republi-
cans in turn greeting tue announcement
with applause.
Bland of Missouri offered an amend
ment to admit free foreign goods when
exchanged for American products. Re
iected-yeas ~. nays go.
breckenridge of Kentucky offered an
amendment proposing to change the date
upon which the bill took effect from July
| next to July /, 1891. Rejected.
The enacting clause was passed over
ano the clerk proceeded to read the dutia
BILE sections. He had reached the second
item, borcic acid, when Rockingham of
Missouri proposed an amendment making
the duty on commercial three cents, in
stead Of five cents. Rejected.
Covert. of New York, moved to strike out
the clause imposing a duty of one-fourth
OF a cent on muriatic acid. The debate
became desultory in character, sometimes
amusing, sometimes political and some
