ACCORDING to the provisions of a
bill passed by the house of represen-
tatives, 5000 acres, covering the site
of the great battle of Shiloh, are to be
transformed into a national military
park. There will be few persons in
the North or South to cry this bill
nay. Shiloh was one of the most des-
perate battles in the worlds history,
fought by Americans on both sides,
as Runnymede was fought on both
sides by Englishmen. 1t was not as
decisive as was Runnymede, nor yet
as the grand struggle at Gettysburg,
still it was one which old comrades on
both sides continue to talk over and
dispute about. 1t will live in history
as Chickamsuga and Gettysburg live.
The park will constitute q resort
toward which the steps Of students of
history will bend more and more as
the years go by.

O'NEmL, Neb.. Jan. 20. The body
Of Barrett Scott, Holt county's de-
faulting treaaurer, who was lynched
December 81, was found in Niobrara
river near midnight, A rope was
around his neck and he had been
hanged.
The coroner's jury found that
Scott had been hanged and that
George Mnllihan, Moses Elliott and
Merit Roy, those now under arrest,
and other Holt county citizens COM
posed the mob.
The ice was cut where the trail OF
the lynchers had been followed. The
body was lying in seven feet of water
and only short distance from the
bank. The body bore evidence that
the victim was dead when cast into
the river. Around his neck was q
piece of rope about three feet long,
moose around the neck being
tied in true hangman's style. The
other end showed evidence of having
been cut, showing that Scott had been.
hung until he was dead, and then cut
down and cast into the river. The
body was minus coat, but his watch
and chain and other jewelry, which
was on his person the night
of the tragedy, were still there.
The face of the deceased con-
firms the truth of the story of Mrs.
Scott to the effect that in the fusi-
lade which preceded her husbands
capture he was slightly wounded on
the side of the face. The crime for
which Barrett Scott paid with his life
on New Years day Of this year, was
the embezzlement of $4,000 Of the
funds of Holt county and the subse-
quent wrecking of the Holt county
bank, practically impoverishing near
ly all of the farmers and business
men In Holt. The amounts stolen
from these confiding people are vari-
ously estimated, but aggregate about
$3.50, 600,

TO REPLACE TREASURY NOTES.
Secretary Carlisle Proposes Scheme
to Increase the Silver Certificates.

Secretary Carlisle Proposes a Scheme
to Increase the Silver Certificates.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. At the meet
ing of the house appropriations co m
mittee to-day Secretary Carlisle
took part at the request of Chairman
Sayers. The conference was over
the adoption of a policy by which the
secretary hopes to put into cir
culation an increased volume oil sill
YER certificates OF small denomina-
tions in place of treasury notes. The
committee decided to strike from the
sundry civil bill stipulation that for
several years has been added to the
item providing for printing treasury
notes to replace those received at
the treasury.
Secretary Carlisle stated that it was
his desire to get more silver GER
tificates for the small denominations
into the hands of the people, but ex-
planned that other notes occupied the
field and crowded them out.
Several members of the committee
led the discussion from the question
at issue into the byways of finance.
Once Representative Sibley of Penn
sylvania asked the secretary what
objection there would be to system
of redeming notes in gold and silver
at the option of the secretary Of the
treasury instead of the holder
IF the policy had been inauguated
at the beginning of resumption" an
swered the secretary, "it would have
worked benefcially and no trouble
would have arisin from it. But my
predecessors have followed the policy
of redeeming in gold or silver
at the option Of the holders of the
paper, and any secretary who tried
to change this policy and force silver
on man who wanted gold, or visa
versa, particularly at such critical
period as we have been passing
through, wonld have precipitated dis
asterous results"

THE Red Cross treaty OF Geneva,
which was created in 1864, was at
once signed by sixteen leading nations,
and the number has now been in
creased to forty, our own being
among the number, Japan gave its
adhesion to the treaty in 1886, and in
1889 the mikado accepted the presi-
dency of the Japanese Red Cross AS
ISOLATION. The spirit Of the treaty in-
sists that as soon as q soldier Is dis
abled he is no longer belligerant,
but neutral, and its provisions have
always been faithfully interpreted.
The fact that japan is party to the
treaty has doubtless helped to make
the government OF that country anx-
ious TO clear itself of any completely
in the crueltIes that were practiced at
Port Arthur, and it will doubtless YET
be shown that the story has been much
exaggerated. II would be hard to be.
lieve of Japan, after her marvellous
development, that her civilization is
only thin veneer.

MA. LODGE ON HAWAII.
The Massachusetts Senator Introduces
Some Fresh Hawaiian Resolutions.

Some Fresh Hawaiian Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. Minister
Thurston Of Hawaii, occupied front
seat in the diplomatic gallery of the
senate when the session opened
to-day.
Mr.. Lodge speedily brought for
ward the Hawaiian question by pre-
senting resolution declaring that
the senate cordially approved OF the
dispatch of a war ship to the Sand
witch islands Saturday and was OF the
opinion that an American man of-war
should be kept at Honolulu. That
prompt measures should be taken to
construct or promote the construction
of a submarine cable from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu and that NO part OF
the rights and privileges secured to
the United States and Hawaiian gov
eminent should be abandoned or
waived in order to enable any other
government to secure foothold or
lease upon any part of the Hawaiian
islands; and that in the Judgment of
the senate immediate steps should be
taken to secure the possession of the
Sandwich Islands by their annexation
to the United States.
Mr.. Lodge asked immediate consid-
GRAFTON for the resolution.
"Let it go over" interposed Mr..
Blackburn. The presiding officer
construed this as an objection and,
under the rules, the resolution went
over until tomorrow.
At o'clock the Nicaragua canal
bill came up, cutting off further dis
cussion of Hawaii, but the Nicaragua
bill was also set aside for the consid-
Grafton of the urgent deficiency bill,
and Senator Hill discussed the elimin-
alton of his amendment relative to
the income tax questions.

THERE is scarcely a week that
passes by in which we do not read of
a contest over will. The very fact
that man has been able to amass a
competence, il not fortune, might
be supposed to be prima facie evidence
that he was shrewd and intelligent
eannd rossessed Of good business
methods. And yet when he dies, be-
cause his heirs do not receive as much
OF his estate as they expected, they Of
once set up the claim that he was not
in his right mind. 1t would seem as
il when will has been made devising
property with reasonable fairness,
doubts as to sanity should be looked
upon with suspicion and the claims Of
disappointed relatives only admitted
after the strongest and most over
whelming proof. If attempts at will
breaking continue. to be as successful
as they now are, will-making may
eventually be counted among the lost
arts,

UNDER SEPARATE CONTROL.
Tho Union Pacific Main Line sequostra-
ted by order of Court

ted by Order OF Court.
81. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 2e. United
States Circuit Judge Walker H. SAM
born to-day handed down his decision
upon the application Of 2. Gordon
Dexter and Oliver Ames, second
trustee for the first mortgage bond
holders Of the Union Pacific railway
company, for separate receivers for
the portion of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn covered by the first mortgage.
The decision, or order, covers seven
closely typewriter pages, and in
effect grants the application. The re-
ceivers appointed are the same as
those now in charge of the entire
Systems. H. H. Clark, Oliver w.
Mink, e. Ellery Anderson, John w.
Doane and Frederick r. Coudert. The
usual thirty days for fling bond and
ninety days for filing their first re-
port are allowed to the receivers.
The order, which embraces twelve
clauses, provides that funds already
earned by the road shall be used by
the receivers to settle debts and Just
claims under the present receiver
ship. In addition the court reserves
the right to order that any deficiency
in such funds shall be made up from
future earnings under the separate
receivership
In effect the decision simply Sc
questers the old main line from the
rest of the system only so far as ac-
counts are concerned, so that the
property covered by the firstmortgage
shall be within easy reach Of the
mortgages.

The salesman finds it easiest TO sell
advertised articles, and consequently
pushes them to the front and sings their
praises--because he feels that the
intelligent purchaser will believe what
no says. He keeps the unadvetised
articles in the background because
his unbacked and unadvertised word
must stand alone for the merits OF the
unadvertised article. %

PRACTICALLY the richest man in the
world is the car of Russia, who, ac-
cording to recent cabled statements,
has an inco ne of $12, 100000 a year,
but whose treasury as matter of
fact is practically inexhaustible, for
he has no settled civil list, but draws
what he likes from the imperial ex-
chequer, every ruble in which is sup
posed to belong to him. Surely the
royal cloud of nihilism has a golden
lining Of very practical kind.

Tine shipmentOf California fruit to
the East for the season just closed was
about 1,100 carloads consisting OF
cherries, apricots, plums, pears and
grapes. the total selling for about
$1,000,000. The amount realized was
not SO large as the shippers expected,
partly on account OF the railroad
strike in July, which left a large
quantity OF fruit to spoil which would
otherwise have been put on the mar
ket, and partly because the general
depression in business reduced both
the consumption of fruit and the
prices which have heretofore pre-
vailed. In spite OF all drawbacks,
however, the amount of fruit shipped
was greater than in any previous sea-
son and the prices realized were so
satisfactory to the growers that the
business will be carried on next year
on q still larger scale than ever.
