Nebraska City, Dec. 9.-Judge John
McNulta, receiver of the whisky trust
arrived in the city yesterday, and to-
day, in pursuance of an order of the
federal court of northern Illinois, sold
the distillery plant at this point. 1t
was first offered in sections but there
were no bidders. He then offered it
as a whole, and after waiting some
time Alfred s. Austrian. attorney for
the reorganized Cattle Feeding & Dis
filling company, bid 100000. This was
the only bid made, and after quite a
wait the property was struck off to
him. There were quite a number of
other supposed bidders present, but
they said nothing. Mr.. Austrian is not
in a position to state whether the
plant will be operated or not.

A CUT IN WAGES.
1t Causes 81 Strike In >-e Pacific
Rolling Mills.

San Francisco Dec. 9.-Two hundred
employees of the Pacific Rolling mills,
one of the largest concerns of the kind
on the coast, have struck, owing to a
heavy cut in wages. The wages of the
boys were reduced 20 per cent; labor
ers, % per cent while skilled workmen
suffered to the extent of So TO 80 per
cent. The company gives as a reason
for the cut that it is not meeting ex-
penses. The men, on the other hand
say the company recently changed it's
furnaces from coal to oil, burning at
great expense. The change was a fail
ure, and it has had to change back
to coal, and it wants the men to hear
the burden.

SONG OF THE FORTY-NINERs.

We have worked our claims,
We have spent our gold,
Our bsrks are astrand on the bars;
We are battered and old.
Yet at night we behold
Our groupings of gold in the stars.
Chorus:-
Though battered and old.
Our hearts are bold;
Yet oft do we repine
For the days of old,
For the days of the gold.
For the days of forty-nine.
Where the rabbits play.
Where the quail all day
Pipe on the chapparal kill:
A few more days
And the last of us lays
His pick aside and is still.
We are wreck and stray,
We are cast away,
Poor, battered old hulks and spars;
But we hope and pray,
On the judgment day,
We shall strike it up in the stars.

FRANCIS NOMINATION.
Reference Caused Comment By
Those Who Did Not Know.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The reference to
the nomination of David F. Francis of
Missouri to be secretary of the in
terror, to the committee on finance in
executive session today, caused some
comment among those not conversant
with the rules of the senate. There is
belief that the nominations of cab
met officers have always been promptly
confirmed without such committee
reference, but this is not correct, save
in the case of a United States senator.
Senators nominated to cabinet places
are supposed to be as well known 70
each member as to the special COM
mittee, and courtesy alone has sug-
gested the practice of confirming them
at once. This practice. however, has
its exceptions, for when President
Hayes nominated ex-senator Carl
Schurz to be secretary of the interior,
the nomination was referred and an in
vestigation as to his fitness and quail
fication for the office was made

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Rebels Continue to Gain Strength
In the Provinces.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 9-The steamer
Macduff, which arrived today from the
orient, brought advices from the Phil
ippine islands UP to Oct 49,. The cor
respondent Of the Hong Kong Press
writes that the rebels continue to gain
strength in the interior provinces. The
city of Manila is not yet seriousIv
threatened, however, though the Sit
uation is admitted to be critical Two
companies of Spanish soldiers recentIv
met at Dulu, and, installing each
other for rebels, they bombarded for
an hour before discovering the mis-
take. Thanks to faulty aim, little dam
age was done.
A dispatch to the Hong Kong Press
dated Taipe, Formosa, Nov. 6, reads:

is under control" This evidently re-
fers to the visitation of bubonic plague
recently reported from that island.

The Pioneers semi-centennial cele-
bration received q healthy impetus
last evening and was started on the
right road TO the accomplishment of all
that is desired of it. namely-meking
it fitting commemoration of the most
important epoch in western history,
the blazing of the trail for the civiliza-
ton of the whole broad west.
1t was decided that the celebration
should be one gigantic in its proper
tons, and though only the outlines
were passed upon, enough was planned
to convince the members of the semi
centennial commission that their views
could not be fulfilled with the expendi
ture of not less than $4,000, which view
took tangible form in the adoption of a
resolution TO that effect.
The resolution READS:
Resolved, That this commission
proposes to give "a celebration TO
cost not less than $4,000.
1t was at the regular meeting of the
semi commission, held in
the private office of President George
Y. Wallace of the telephone company,
last evening, that the action was taken.
1t was after the transaction of some
routine business that a motion was
carried that the commission go into
a general discussion of the celebration
that Judge E. F. Colborn, a member of
the commission, made a most energetic
speech, in which he pictured the great
Importance of the commemoration of
the advent of the pioneers. He de-
clared that there was no use attempt
ing to fittingly celebrate the event with
less than the expenditure of
the amount named, and at the conclu-
sion of his remarks the resolution was
framed and adopted, with but few re-
marks on the part of the other men,
berS intervening.

called the meeting to order the roll call
showed all the members present but
three. Those in attendance were Spen-
Ger Clawson, E. F. Colborn, Mrs. E c.
Easton of Logan, Mrs. George Y Wal
lace, Mrs. A. NJ. McCune, and Secre-
tary E. C. Rognon. H. G. Whitney

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by infamtion of the

When this tube gets inhamed you have
