Feeling Aroused in Germany Over
France Spy Mania.
'!The French Hatred and Suspicion OF Ger
many Again at Flood"

Berlin, Dec 23.-The spy mania in
France has stirred German feeling to Il
boiling point The trial of Dreyfus, the
expulsion of Won Cas- ell and the sentenc-
ing of Won Schoenbeck, last week, is dis
cussed with bitterness throughout the
empire.
The declaration of the French ministers
that Dreyfus had no relations with the
German embassy is regarded as unsatis-
factory in face of the repeated assertions OF
the French press that the sole document
on which he was convicted was stolen
from the embassy.
Paris journals insinuate that Count
Muenster tried to induce the French gov
ernment to drop the prosecution, although
this is palpable falsehood. The charges
against Won Caszel rested soley upon his
association with Won Schoenbeck, and the
case against Won Schoenbeck rested soley
upon map with outlines resembling the
plan of the French fortworks.
Copious dispatches from Paris on the
three cases were read here with such
avidity as has not been evident for years
The few trustworthy accounts of events
in Paris show fully that French suspicion
and hatred of Germany is again at flood

Rusby, 60 years old, is locked up at thu
Central police station, charged with mur-
dering his wife, Amelia aged 43. Tho
affair occurred Friday night at 10:3j
o'clock on Tenth street, one of the tough

suit of a drunken quarrel, in which Rusby
threw lighted lamp at the woman.
The lamp broke, and the oil and flames
enwrapped her instantly. She ran into
the roadway, and some young men threw
mats and quilts over her, but the fire was
not extinguished until Mrs. Rusby re-
ceived injuries from which she died at tho

NEED AID AT ONCE.
Citizens ofFiye Nebraska Counties On
Verge Of Starvation.
Unless They Have Immediate Help Many o.
Them viii Perish.

Niobrara, Neb., Dec 23.-The suffering
among the inhabitants of the drought
blasted part of Nebraska, including three
fourths of the residents of five counties,
is becoming more intense daily, and i'm
mediate steps alone can prevent many
deaths by starvation. Three years ago
the farmers in those counties raised very
light crop, and In the past two years the
crons have been almost total failures.
Many families have not enough provls-
ions in their homes for a weeks susten-
ance. and no money to purchase the neces-
saries of life. Many merchants here feel
that they have aided the poor farmers to
the extent of their ability, and are unable
to do any more for them or sell them goods
on credit.
The sufferers cannot obtain en-
ployment and unless they receive AID
very soon, it is the general opinion that
many will starve to death, and should the
weather turn very cold many will freeze
to DEATH as number of people are bare
footed and have scarcely sufficient cloth
ing to cover their nakedness.
President Mason, of the Nebraska state
relief commission, has been forwarded
carefully prepared report of the number
of destitute families in the different coun-
ties in this state where there was crop
failure The list comprises nearly 5000
families and it will require all the assls-
tarce that can be procured to keep the
people in the most urgent OF necessarles

instances the people of the districts re-
moved from railroad facilities are said to

Don't Begrudge Praise.

Why is it that, even with the, nearest
and dearest, praise is so begrudgcd, while
blame is SO freely bestowed? In nine cases
out Of ten the former does Infinitely more
good and incites to far greater exertion
than the latter. Nevertheless, as rule,
the fondest parent, the kindest teacher,
the most faithful friend, often hesitates to
praise, while seldom failing to censure
when the occasion calls for it. There is
ever the feeling latent that the recipient
win be unduly elated by any appreciation
bestowed, and parents and teachers some
times hesitate on that account to express
unstinted commendation, while Brothers
and sisters and evon friends often at
heart really bcgrudge the satisfaction and
perhaps self complacency they might evoke
by giving expression to the admiration
they may honestly feel.
While flattery is ever profuse and easy
to obtain, honest praise is rare commod-
ity, seldom given even when most deserved
and grudgingly withheld when most need

use trying" simply because his feeble
efforts for the right obtain no recognition,

DIPH HERIA

Too many homes bear this fear-inspir-
ing placard, denoting the prevalence of
that most insidious and dreaded of all
diseases - Diphtheria.
It is to-day recognized fact among the
best practitioners that nine out OF ten
cases formerly considered hopeless may
be brought to happy termination by
the use of that great original raw food
product,
Boyfnine.
This great blood-generating life-main-
tanning, strength-developing, and flesh
producing product of lean, raw meat,
contains the greatest amount of life
preserving qualities in the least pos
sible bulk Of any preparation known.
In cases of Diphtheria, BoviIline has
special advantages. In this disease, as
in others, the rapidity with which it is
assimilated gives to it preference over
all other foods, passing, as it does, into
the system Immediately, without causing
the digestive organs to perform any labor.
And considering the fact that the LESSONS
in the throat prevent the swallowing of
solid food, it becomes an absolute neces-
sity. In the worst cases. where even
liquids cannot be taken by the mouth,
Bovinine
Saves Life
by being used as an injection. Above all,
Bovinine is in itself germicde, and in
all such diseases as Diphtheria, caused by
microbes, it not only performs its greatest
mission of maintaining life, but antidotes
the existing bacilli.
Bovinine has done wonders in thousands
of cases of Diphtheria. When yonr doctor
uses it you may cease to worry, and be
assured of speedy recovery. TO neglect
it's use may mean years of remorse in the
feeling that some loved one might still be
with you if everything possible had been
done. Bovinine is sold by all Druggists.
