\ remarkable bill has been introduced in

hanging as a means OF iuhicting the death
penalty and provides that all murdereys sen,
fenced to death shall he put ont Of the way
by means Of au anes:hotic, which is to be
administered under the supervision of
board of physicians and scientists. The
condemned man having been placed in

to take the top Of his skull off and watch
the action OF the brain, or lay bare his heart
and other vitals, and study the lie there.
The author of the bill has flooded the state
with circulars IN support Of the measure,
arguing that its passage would give s,ieu-

life as they have never been studied, and

At the Brazilian CAPITAL.

The Fourth of July this year will
be celebrated in grand style in Rio de
Janiero, the capital of the Brazilian
republic. Among other things on the
program will be the unwilling of the
statue of James Monroe, the fifth.
President of the United States and the
promulgator of the idea which has
finally become recognized as inter-
national law under the name of the
Monroe Doctrine. 1t provides that no
European power shall interfere with
the respective governments of the indie
pendent American republics of South
America. European powers religious
ly lived up to it until the summer of
1893, when Admiral Benham, in COM
mand of the South Atlantic squadron,
learned that there was a well under
stood plan on the part of the Euro
pean powers to crush out the young
republic. The American admiral
very soon gave the Europeans to I'M.
derstand that no interference would
be tolerated, and kept a large feet OF
American warships on guard. Had it
not been for his offices, the Brazilian
republic mightnow be a thing of the
past. 1t is in grateful remembrance
of American aid that the Brazilians
have for months been preparing to
make the Fourth of July, 1894, the
greatest gala day in the country's his
tory.

A Grand Celebration.

Billy and Nat and the other boys
were on their way to,the village to buy
fireworks for the Fourth when they
saw queer-looking wagon moving to-
ward them. 1t looked like a hen-coop
on wheels, but when it came nearer
they found it was a huge cage with an
eagle in it.
The boys surrounded the wagon at
once, and fired a perfect volly of ques-
tons at the driver.
81 took that eagle from the nest
when it was little" he explained;
land 1 have just been carrying it to
town to sell to the show; but the show
is gone, SO Unjust cart him back"
Why, you ought to let him fyt'
cried Billy. Don't you know, to.
morrow is the Fourth, and I guess
George Washington would not have
liked very we'll to see the American
eagle cooped up like a chicken"
The man laughed. We'll, now, if
you boys feel SO. why don't you buy
him and let him loose tomorrow? He
would go up like sky rockets"
The boys looked at each other.
That's sol" they all cried together.
So a bargain was struck, and they
carried the eagle home in triumph.
That evening the following handbill
was posted around Merryville:
Great sillybration! the Bird Of his
Country will scream for all"
The next day Billy and Nat and their
eagle formed the center of the cele-
bration at Merryville. They never re-

Influence Of American Independence
At the birth of the American repub.
lie it's deliverels had but a small con-
ception of the ultimate result Of a
government by the people. When
they broke the tyrant's chains they lit.
tie dreamt that before a century
would pass the anniversary of indie
pendence would be celebrated on the
Pacific coast as well as on the Allan.
tic All the Pacific coast was then in
possession of Spain, France and Rus.
STA, friendly powers that had
aided the cause of American indie
pendence. No sooner had the Amer
lean government been firmly estab-
lished than it was seen that it would
not do to allow European powers to
exercise dominion over American ter
ritory not included in the Union.
How'to wrest this territory from pow
ers that had been friendly was a grave
question. So the purchase plan was
suggested and carried out and Louisi-
ana and Florida were coded by
France and Spain respectively.
The territory Of Louisiana then
included all the states west of
the Mississippi and north of California
to Alaska. The latter owned by
Russia then extended as far north as
Vancouver. Before it was purchased
by the United States, Russia made a
treaty with England by which all of
Southern Alaska was coded to the
British. That territory is now known
as British Columbia.
California, Texas, and New Mexico,
and Nevada and part of Colorado were
wrested from Mexico by conquest after
all other means had failed. All the
republics of South America owe their
independence not alone to the patriot
ism of their W people. but to the
menacing sympathy of Yankees as
well. Now every country on the
American continent, except Canada,
has its Independence day to celebrate.
The cele brations in the South Ameri-
can republics are carried out much
after the manne of those held in the
United States.

END OF THE CELEBRATION.

Amt that a good name? It's named
after your mayor, and Smith goes in
this camp. (Groans) Now the next
man that grunts will get something"
he said, pulling his gun. Now, ]
want every man to give three cheers
for Smith and its mayor. Every
mothers son of you shout or I will
put a forty five where it will make
you shout. All ready! Hip. hip, hip,
hurrah!" and the mayor swung his
gun and the crowd yelled like fends.
Gentleman, the man I am about to
introduce to you as orator of the day
is a lawyer from Red Rock, and he can
talk the handle off a Dutch oven. He
will tell you all about the wars, from
the battle of Brandywine down to the
last scrimmage with the Apaches
Fellow-citizens, I will now Introduce
to you the Hon. Casper M. jerks.
"Cut it as short as you can, and
give it to the boys hot and strong,
jerks" he whispered, pulling up his
pants and taking a seat.
At that moment the committee be.
gan firing a salute directly behind the
stand. The mayor had tied his mule
to the corner of the stand, which was
only large enough for two persons.
At the first shot old Jerry settled

stand.

out here, where people are civilized.
What are you driving at, Bill?" he
asked.
81 am on my uncle's sheep ranch up
on Ghost creek for five years"
Bill, you are a dead man. You
will never live the time out. Men
that follow a band of sheep for five
years get like posts, and stand for
hours without moving. You will have
q sorry expression on your face. like
an imported ape. You will lose your
~self-respect, and dodge behind rocks
10 avoid meeting strangers. If you do
not go crazy, you will get sleepy and
shy in spite of yourself. l saw a
sheep-herder like that once. but they
said he was none too bright to begin
with. Better throw it up, Bill; YOU
will become as stupid and stolid as
he" argued Jerky.
Thanks for your compliments and

How Willie Spent Ills Fourth.

When Whine was about five years
old he spent his Fourth of July in the
house. He did not like that at all.
He felt bad all day, and he was really
glad when the Fourth was over. All
the other boys were shooting off fire.
crackers, but, alas! he was not allowed
to have any.
Oh, how hard Willie pleaded with
mamma to go out into the street,
Wouldn't she let him shoot off lust
one cracker?"
No, Willie" said mamma; you
must wait until the next Fourth, and
then you will be old enough to look
out for yourself. I am afraid now
you might be burned and badly hurt. "
Long before the next Fourth of July
came around Willie had made great
preparations. He had saved his PEN
MES and there must have been over a
dollar in his iron bank.
About a week before the Fourth
Willie went to his papa and told him
what he had been saving his pennies
for.
What" inquired papa, "do you
want to spend all that money for fire.
crackers?"
YES" said Willie; stake it all"
"Oh mol" said papa; 81 will buy all
the f~recrackers you want and you can
save your money for something else"
That evening when papa came home
he brought packs and packs of fire.
crackers. done up in red paper and
with Chinese letters on the outside.
Here you are" said papa. ST
bought some fireworks too"
The next day a big box containing
Roman candles. s~ky-rockets, pin
wheels, etc, came to the house.
There seemed to be no end to Will
lies joy, and he talked of little else
save the Fourth-what a day it would
be! And the DAYS passed quickly I'M
til the third of July came. That night,
after Willie had been put to bed, said
papa, with a quiet smile, to mamma:
Don't you think we ought to have
told Willie that the Fourth comes on
Sunday this year?"
"Yes," said mamma; 'he does not

be very much disappointed"
Bright and early on the morning of
the Fourth, Willie came running down
stairs. "Where are the crackers? Let
me set some off before breakfast
please dol"
Then papa had to say, mo, not to-
day. but tomorrow"
First Willie looked confused, and
then the tears came to his eyes.
To-day" said papa again, is Sun
day. No one is allowed to shoot off
fre-crackers on the Sabbath"
The poor boy was puzzled. He did
not, could not, understand why the
Fourth should come on Sunday.
Later on the bells began to ring out
all over the city. Willie saw the peo-
pie going to and coming from church,
and he went to Sunday-school himself
in the afternoon.
Now 1 have told you how Willie
spent the Fourth-in the house. You
can imagine how he spent the fifth of
July.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1894-07-06

""There he is Sue, and presents quite
an improvement over his appearance
this morning."
"Hush, Clara. he will hear some
more of your f~oolishness."
These remarks 1 heard from some
persons close behind me. 1 did not
have to turn my head to know who
was talking, but hurried straight
ahead.
The mayor rode in soon after we
reached the grounds, but it was an
hour before the orator of the day
came in, with his coat on his arm, and
on foot
When everything was quiet, the
mayor arose, and spoke as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen: You all
know me, and know I am off on
speech-making; but when it ome to
a shoot, I'm in it. You all know what
we are here for. 1 do not suppose
there is a person present that is old
enough to take a driak, but knows this
is the Fourth of July. We are here to
celebrate the glorious anniversary of
American Independence. The reason
why we celebrate this day is because
it's a big day in this country. The
reason we celebrate the day is because
this is the spryest town on this line of
road. (Applause.) The name of this
town has always been a dead give
away. It was named by unlettered
men, who never gave its future a single
thought. They named it after a de-
funct COW. that persisted with a disease
called hollow horn near a bend in the
creek on the site of this beautiful city.
For the past year I have been working
the railroad company to change the
name. They have consented, and
from the date of this great
day it will be known on the maps
of the world by the name of Smith.
(Groans and hisses.) What ais yer?
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1894-07-06

The Fourth of July is cele brated by
Americans in nearly every country
under the sun where fortune has
wooed them. Even in the wilds Of
Darkest Africa the day is always re-
membered by the natives as the birth
day of a nation far across the sea from
which comes the commercial man, who
gives them yellow gold and bright
silver for their ivory and shells. OF
all white traders visiting the tribes OF
Central Africa the Americans are most
highly esteemed by the black men,
Sometimes this good feeling takes
form in big feasts, which, as a rule,
are held on the anniversary of the
Declaration of American Independ.
