Albert Sidney Johnson, Beaurcgard, Early.

the great civilian soldier, Winfield Scott, re-
tired from command. I've selected a West
Pointer, George Il. Mcclellan, TO be his sue
cessor, and the supreme omman has since
then been held by trained soldiers Of the
school. With the growth Of Information.
skill and training In modern military
affairs, n scientific education Is now
regarded as essential, aud II is
not a baseless assumption TO predict that
General Miles will be the last commander Of
the army who can achieve that distinction
without carly training and education at the
Military academy. OF course In a prolonged
struggle. like that between 1861 and 1865,
some military genius may develop. and 70
may see another Logan or another Miles
ranking we'll up with the trained soldiers Of
the academy. but 1t is believed that future
wars viii be short, sharp and decisive, so
that the trained soldiers will assume and
maintain leadership.
BURIED AT WEST POINT.
It was always a source of regret to Gem
eral Scott that he had not received an early
education In military affairs. He had pro-
found respect for the Military academy, and
when he was passing away from earth he re-
qtested that his body might be buried at
West Point, and there It lies inferred. His
declining years were spent In travel, but his
home was at the academy, and when he came
there two weeks before he saw the last Of
earth he said: II have come here TO die"
Just before he lost consciousness. his mind
being filled with recollections Of his career,
he thought of his old war horse. ana his last
words were: James. take good care Of the
horse"
The lives Of the last six commanders Of the
army are household history today. and yet
the present generation gives little heed to
the details Of their illustrious careers. Major
General Mcclellan commanded the army
from November l, 1861, until March II,
1862; Major General Halleck from July 80,
1862, until March 4, 1864; Lieutenant Gen
eral Grant. March 8, 1864. until March 4,
1863; General Sherman from March s. 1869,
until November 1, 1888; Lieutenant General
Sheridan from November II, 1888, until Au-
gust 5, 1888. when he died after having held
the rank Of general for one week. Major
General Schofeld, who was made lieutenant
general by the last congress, held IN
from August IA, 1883, and will retire Sep
TENDER 90, 1895. Lieutenant General Grant
became general of the army July 25, 1865.
He was made general again, by act of con-
gress. 1885, while he was dying at Mount
McGregor; but the rank was placed on the
retired list, in order that the honor con-
ferred upon the dying hero might not con-
fiict with the rank Of general. at that time
held by Sherman, who was also retired with
that rank.

oToE COUNTY POLITICAL PROJECTS.
Indications that the approaching
Cnmpnign VIII BE Warm.


NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Sept. 27.-(Spe-
clal.)-The republicans last night held their
primaries in this city, and they were very
largely attended. Everything passed off har-
moniously, there being but one ticket up in
each ward, with the exception of the Fourth.
In this ward the contest was quite spirited.
Fem this on the political pot will be kept
boiling here. The democrats will hold their
primaries in this city tomorrow. The repub-
lican county convention will be held at SYRIA
cuse Monday, and Wednesday at Syracuse the
democrats will hold their county convention.
The woods are fairly alive with candidates
for the various offices, and there is no danger
Of the office having to seek the man. For
sheriff there are a number of candidates, but
at present Washington McCallum seems to be
in the lead on the republican side. while the
democrats will likely renominate the present
sheriff. Joe Huberle. For clerk OF the district
court on the republican ticket r. M. Taggart
will likely get the plum, while Judge Camp
bell, the present clerk, will be the democratic
nominee. For county clerk General Hass VII
probably be renominated by the democrats.
On the republican side the fight is between
AID Wait, Lew Dunn and Joe Cook, with
chances about even. For county treasurer
the fight promises to be warm. J. Polk Hill,
the present incumbent, will be the democratic
choice, while on the republican side A. A.
Zlmmerer, Captain Morrison and a score Of
others are after 1t. The fight for county Judge
also promises to be exciting. H. G. Leigh
will probably secure the republican nomina-
ton. Among the democrats the fight will be
chiefly between Judge Eaton, the present
judge, and ]. A. Rooney, with chances a
little in favor Of Rooney. From present pros
poets the coming campaign will be one of
the hottest ever had in Otoe county.

Neuralgia and rheumatism-two disorders

Physicians today get rid Of rheumatism and
neuralgia, as they do sleeplessness, melan-
choly. hysteria and other results of nervous
exhaustion. by building up the system and
supporting its delicate nerve parts by the
use of Paine's celery compound.
Paine's celery compound attacks the disease
by getting the system back to Its properly
nourished condition. 1t stands alone in the
history of medicine. 1t is a certain specific
for the cure, not only Of rheumatism, but also
Of all diseases due to impoverishment of
nerves and blood.
The close connection OF well-fed nerves and
brain with health. is the solid rock upon
which Paine's celery compound stands. The
thousands OF men and women all over the
country who have been cured Of rheumatism
once and for all, by Paines celery compound,
have made good all that the medical fra
ternity first predicted for it.
That 1t restores health and strength to the
body made weary, ~listless and Respondent

in thousands Of homes.
The list of those it has freed from rheuma-
tism is a long one. 1t contains q host Of well
known men and women at home and abroad.
Every city and town in the United States and
Canada is represented.
Paine's celery compound was first prepared
by Prof. Edward Il. Phelps, NJ. D., LII. D.,
of college. Ever since its first
appearance it has been the one recognized
nerve and brain invigorator among medical
men. Its constant use by physicians, where
an active nutriment is urgently needed,
speaks volumes for its efficacy in diseases Of
nervous origin.
Strength. buoyant spirits and freedom from
| pain comes with its use.

Growth of n Great Reform in the

Within the last three years women have
been admitted to the courses of eight univer-
stiles, Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, Brown,
Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Chicago and Leland
Stanford, jr., says the Minneapolis Tribune
in an editorial. The admission of women to
the two better new and radical institutions
was a matter Of course, but it naturally oc-
casiCned surprise VIXEN Harvard, Yale and
their conservative sisters threw down the bar
riers which had heretofore excluded women
from the sacred precincts Of their lecture
halls.
Al the close of the revolutionary war there
were hundreds Of women living right under
the shadow of Harvard university, and among
them ladies Of high social position, who
could neither read nor write. When in 1880 a
Yale senior opened the first school in New
England for the higher education of girls
everybody was anxious to know how the cook
ing, mending and other household duties were
to be done If the wOmen's heads were turned
by a study Of the sciences. Emma Willard,

vanced education of her sex, opened that IA

matter was laid over until Monday. The bid
ders were John T. Burt, Omaha; f. A. Korse-
meyer, Lincoln; the Bigelow company, Lin,
coin, and II. f. Furhman. Grand Island.
The latter is proprietor of the Grand Island
electric light plant, and his bid was accord
ing to the $1,000 appropriation by the last
legislature for connections and fittings at
the home, which is located two miles from
the city Of Grand Island. The other bids
were for new plants outright. There was
the expected kick from some Of the bidders
when they learned that the board had an
t~icipated a part of the deal by purchasing
an engine and dynamo. 1t was to adjust this
little difficulty that the board Ia said to have
postponed the matter until Monday. No
hint is given out tonight as to how the
board expects to square itself, but a number
of prominent republicans in Lincoln and
Beatrice are saying that the first business of
the republican party should be to turn down
