LEGISLATIVE DoINGs.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 23.-Two bills relating
TO the senatorial contest were presented
In the senate during the day. One is
intended to prohibit state officials or per-
sons holding state appointments from
taking active part in senatorial cam
paigns or lobbying for any cand date.
The other provides that any person CIV
ing or promising any money or position
In return for political Office or position,
elective or appointive, should be deemed
guilty of crime and punished by i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary. A
number of other bills of no special inter-
est were introduced.
In the house, after Chaplain McCune
Had asked divine guidance for the repre-
sentatives in the senatorial election, the
report Of the committee on legislative
expenses was presented. The report
favored the wholesale slaughter of ap.
plicants for office-such as flag raiser,
assistant committeeman keepers, file
clerks, etc. No afternoon session was
held. ~

JOHN M. THURsToN and four years
later was awarded the high honor Of
presiding as temporary chairman in the
national Republican convention Of 1888.
He is native of Vermont and was born
in Montpelier Oh Aug. 81, AZ years ago.
When he was lad Of Z, his parents re-
moved to Madison, Wis. He was edu-
Gated at Wayland college and then
studied law, securing his sheepskin in
1869. Choosing Omaha as his scene Of
labor, he began the practice of his pro-
fession. Clients were rare at first, and he
slept in his Office and at times, when
business was unusually dull, subsisted
upon crackers and cheese.
In 1879 he began his political career,
and his first Office was that Of alderman.
Two years later he secured the city at
torneyship and in 1875 was sent to the
legislature. In 1880 he became a Ne
braska presidential elector and carried
the states vote to Washington. He was
then one of the most influential Repub-
lican politicians in Nebraska and was
chairman of the states delegation to
1884. In 1889 he was chosen president
Of the National Republican league and
was reelected in 1890.
Mr.. Thurston was as successful in
law as he was in politics. Beginning as
a brietless lawyer in Omaha, he slowly
forced his way to the front until he
was appointed assistant attorney for the
Union Pacific railroad in 1879. Nine
years later he was made general solicitor
of the road at salary of about $12, 600.
It is said that he will resign this office
when he begins to draw his senatorial
salary Of 5000 year.

To BE Thin or Fat.

Do you want to be thin? Then eat q
great deal Of chopped meat without any
potato in it. Drink little fluid Of any
kind except strong tea. Exercise great
deal without drinking, and do not eat
bread and butter or candy. Lemonade,
acid drinks of all kinds and saline min
eral waters are excellent. Drink glass
of clear water before breakfast.
Do you want to be fat? Then eat vege'
tables and sleep after each meal. Go tc
bed at 8 O'Clock and lie in bed half an
hour after you wake up. Laugh great
deal. Drink water by the pint or the
quart if you can. Drink weak and sweet
tea, with plenty Of milk in it. Take cod
liver and sweet oils as much as you can.
Put plenty of butter on your bread and
do not be afraid Of ales, layers and sweet
wines. This will guarantee gain OF
FIVE pounds month, and, if you can
sleep q great deal, of double that amount.

A MONUMENT TO POE.

THE POETS MEMORY. >@sg.f

The Quaint Cottage In Upper New York
Where Poe Wrote Many Of His Beat Po-

Hustling, bustling New York does not
allow sentiment to stand in the way Of
its march Of progress, but thus far one
of the most interesting literary land
marks in the city, Poe 8 cottage at Ford
ham, has escaped the hand OF the con-
tractor and builder. With Poe r't'the
fever called living" as he termed life,
has been conquered for 45 years, but the
little cottage he occupied during his
most active time Of literary productions
still stands, looking much as it did when,
protected by it's humble walls, he penned
many of the poems and tales that have
given him such great posthumous fame.
The representative citizens Of Ford
ham now propose to erect statue Of the
poet or q monument to his memory.
The idea originated in the brain of Mr..
Charles F. Smith, and tho Fordham club
is raising the money to carry it into
execution. When completed, the monu-
ment or the statue will be erected in
Bronx park or upon the grounds where
Poe's cottage stands.

of 1.-THE Raven" and several prose tales
Of high order Of merit before he made

CAPTAIN ALBERT DREYFUS.

rested charged with having betrayed
important secrets of the ministry of war
to a foreign government. The actual
charges were shrouded in secrecy, but
French newspapers declared that Drey-
fus had betrayed or sold important mil
itary information to the German en-
bassy in Paris. This allegation connect
ing the German government officially
with such reasonable and dishonest
transaction rekindled the flame of hatred
that smolders in French hearts and
created great excitement in Germany.
Fuel was added to the blaze by the
statement that the principal evidence
against Dreyfus was a letter in his
handwriting stolen from the German
en- bassy.
The Berlin press Indignantly denied
that the German embassy was implicat-
ed in any such dishonorable transaction,
and Count Won Muenster, the German
ambassador to France, lodged diplomat
ic protest with the French government.
The French minister Of war guardedly
disparaged the idea that the German
embassy was involved officially in the
affair, but the press of Paris continued
to reiterate the charge.
Meanwhile Captain Dreyfus was kept
close prisoner, and his friends were
prevented from communicating with
him. The minister of war ordered a
court martial to try Dreyfus, and when
it met its sessions were conducted with
closed doors. The alleged Dreyfus letter
found" at the German embassy was
unsigned, but the court martial decided
that it was in Dreyfus' handwriting.
After trial of two days he was con-
victed, and the council Of revision con-
firmed his sentence, which is the severest
penalty applicable in time Of peace.
Dreyfus' appeal for new trial was re
fused, and dishonor and life imprison-
ment now stare him in the face. The
incident but emphasizes the popular be-
lief that France and German are two
armed camps awaiting the signal that
any day may plunge the two nations in
another Franco Prussian war.

Hopeful Signs.

Ministers used to stay in their studies
and write sermons Oh doctrinal topics.
College professors used to drill Latin,
Greek and mathematics into their pupils
in dingy, badly ventilated classrooms.
Neither preacher nor college professor
had an idea that he had anything in
common with the living, throbbing life
and suffering Of everyday humanity"
That has changed. If you take up any
magazine or almost any newspaper, you
will find in it communications from
both divines and college professors The
preacher does not discourse on the Trim
ity or vicarious atonement. The pro-
lessor does not descant on the spelling
Of all original Greek root.
They write of problems of sanitation
and of social economics. The preacher
writes of the slums he has investigated
and of the corruption in municipal gov
eminent that the American people must
destroy. The college professor writes
concerning food and it's relations to the
human body. He analyses this and that
article of food, tells the common man
what will make him fat and what will
build muscle The most learned men in
the land now deal with the problems Of
heating, lighting and ventilating dwell
ing houses. How to help the condition
of the poor workingmen and distribute
the worlds wealth are questions that
occupy the earnest attention of preacher,
college professor and statesman. 1t is
the brightest spot in the sky on which
the nineteenth century closes.
