The reputable elements of Texas,
regardless Of political prediction,
should pray for the success of Nc
Kinley, for his nomination and
election would mean the end of
Quincy, Cuneyism and Quincy
methods in Texas.
Simply as matter Of courtesy,
and with due regard for the pro-
prieties as well as equities, the
mayor and council should di-
rect the city attorney to bring
suit against the sewer contractors
on their bond, for non perform
ance OF contract. OF course, as
judgment would prove valuable
only as souvenir, for the contrac-
tors have no bonds with the city
upon which judgment for thirty
cents could be collected.
If these humping contests are
TO be continued In the public free
schools, the school board should
insist that the teachers use six
ounce gloves instead OF baseball
bats. The present arrangement
gives the teacher entirely too
much advantage over weak and
timid boys.
1t is understood that the San
Antonio Street railway company
has in grooming a candidate for
mayor at the coming municipal
election. 1t would be an excellent
and certainly safe move upon the
part Of the taxpayers to oppose
any candidate for mayor who is
supported by any car company.

The suggestion of the name of
Hon. A. j. Evans for district at
torney, meets with very general
favor and endorsement. 1t is I'M
derstood that Mr.. Levy will posi-
lively not be candidate for re-

though he has discharged them
with marked ability and fidelity,
are neither pleasant nor congenial.
All great emergencies produce the

gency is here, and it is a great
one. What better man than

The republican of Bexar county
should insist that party lines be
drawn in the coming campaign
and a full ticket placed in the
field, "from governor down to
constable" The republicans can
win fair and honest contest, and,
with due ragard for SWIVEL service
reform, they are entitled, ever
under democratic ruling, to the Of

A NATURAL MISTAKE.

1t is hard for England to realize
that the president Of the Transvsal
is in earnest, in his condemnation
Of the acts OF treason Matched and
all but made potent at Johannes
burg. England is so used to be-
littling all republican efforts, is
so disdainful in her consideration
of small states, has so long ridden
roughshod over everything outside
of the great powers OF the earth,
has been so masterful in all that
concern others, that it is difficult
il not impossible for her to under
stand that Kruger considers the
attempt to overthrow his govern
ment as atrocious an act as the
British government would con-
slider an act of treason against
Great Britain. Not only is
this so, but any attempt on
the part OF the British government
to underrate this feeling, or to
lower the dignity of the Transvaal,
or to underestimate the enormity
of the act Of treason against that
republic, will have an effect so far
reaching that it is not easy to COM
pass it. Kruger will vindicate the
authority of his government, and
will not abate hair OF his preroga-
tive. If Great Britain wishes to
save the necks of those who have
been convicted Of treason at Preto.
ria she must make interest with
Kruger. This cannot be done by
10. Chamberlsin's bluffing. 1t will
only come by petition of the British
people and government, such petit
ton being in itself confession Of
the authority Of the Transvaal gov
eminent and the righteousness of
the sentence OF death that has
followed the attempt to over
throw by force Of arms that repub-
lie. If this petition comes and an
assurance with it that the British
government decries all attempts to
interfere with the domestic gov
eminent of that country, then the
lives Of those Englishmen will be
spared. But if this is not done
Kruger will hang them, if it was
the last act of his life. The tenn
per and spirit of the old Boer, all
go to show that this is as certain as
time, and Englishmen in and out
Of place will do we'll to govern
themselves accordingly. 1t is the
same as to the United States in the
case Of the condemned American
who took part in the attempt
to overthrow republic in
the interest Of the advancement
of British interests in South
Africa. Such an American is
hardly worth saving, anyway, for
he is a renegade. Still it would
not be amiss for the request to 60
forward from the foreign office at
Washington for his release from a
death sentence, for it would show
this government not less interest
ed in the safety Of its citizens than
Great Britain is in hers. The one
point in this business that is worth
noting, is that Kruger upholds
the dignity OF selfgovernment in
the face OF combined British
threats, and can be depended on
to carry out the sentence Of the
court If it buried his republic I'M
der the foot OF the advancing
armies of the British Empire. This
is the stuff that true republics are
made out Of, and this great Ameri-
can republic should have only ad-
miration for such a rock Of man
as Kruger.

eases, physicians use this great formula Of
Prof. Edward Il. Phelps, NJ. D., LII. D., Of
Dartmouth college-Paine's celery compound.
1t has lifted thousands from beds OF sick
ness. 1t does what nothing else ever did
for the sleepless, the dyspeptic, and the de-
spondent-it cures them once and for all.
Here is a testimonial from Mr.. Il. A.
Miller of Columbus, o., accompanying the
photograph of his family.
For two years past I have been n constant
sufferer with severe nervous headaches, Oft
times being compelled to go to bed, when my
business necessitated my personal attention.
Last week my physician recommended
Paine's celery compound. / have taken
now four bottles, and have not suffered with
headache since. This government, In my
mind, should pay the discoverer Of Paine's
celery compound n sum Of money sufficient
to keep him and all hi relatives in luxury
during their natural l.fe."
Mr.. Miller is the son of DR.. ]. d. Miller.
His wife is the granddaughter of the late
Gov. Lucas Of Ohio. Mr.. M,ller's praise of
Paine's celery compound is equaled by that
of thousands of others who owe Their health
and strength to this greatest OF all remedies.

Some Unknown Person shoots Into n
poiicemnu's House.
Depot Policeman John Quinn, the veteran
officer at the Union Pacific transfer depot,
is considerably worked up over what APP
pears to have been a murderous assault upon
himself and family. 'td
AT 2 O'Clock yesterday morning Quinn was
awakened by a crashing OF woodwork and
plasterlng mingled with the sound Of a
couple of pistol shots. When he went to
his front door he saw that two large-sized
bullets had been fired through the door.
The door was in direct line with a bed in
the room, and the two bullete were found
embedded In the plastering over the head OF
the bed. Quinn seized some Of his own
familiar artillery and ran cut of the house,
but the person who had fired the shots was
not in sight. nor was there audible a sound
Of fleeing footsteps.
Quinn lives in a pleasant little cottage at
1915 Eighth avenue. He has held the po-
sition of special policeman at the transfer
nearly half of HE life, always discharging
hie duties in the most acceptable manner
both to the public and the company. In the
course Of his long term of service he has
naturally made some enemies, but he is
unable to recall any official or private act
of his life that would lead any one In his
thirst for revenge to fire with murderous
intent into the sleeping apartments Of his
wife and children. He has made a good
many important arrests, chiefly of confidence
men. and some of them have been severely
punished. Were IL not for the fact that
when he went to the door no one was in
sight. he would be inclined to attribute the
shooting to the sudden freak Of a drunken
man.

There Is no spring remedy equal to Paine's
celery compound.
Sufferers from debility who find their con-
valescence too slow, are ~joyously surprised by
the brisk impetus toward recovery that
canes from Paine's celery compound. Its
healing. nerve-restoring, blood-mak.ng, nour-
ishing powers go so directly to the root of
the trouble that the progress toward health
and strength is steady and Uninterrupted.
No relapsss come when Paine's celery COM
pound has once fairly begun its healthful
action.
With a stronger appetite, sounder sleep,
and better digestion (~results that every one
has experienced who has taken Paine's celery
compound), the weak and sore kidneys and
the tired stomach cease to trouble, and the
nerves allow one to work unvexed by day
and to sleep by night without disturbance.
This is what physicians mean when they say
that Paine's celery compound cures nervous
diseases permanently.

There is a lot Of interesting information

Some Of these facts have been covered in the
reports Of the finance committee and the
farewell message OF DR.. Cleaver, but others
are quite interesting.
Mayor Cleaver, in his message, gave a
table of interesting comparisons, showing
the current expenses in all the various de-
%partments Of the city for the past eight
years. In the report published the water
fund was not included The following is a

Nearly the entire day was taken up yes

Of the case of the Grand Island Canning
company against the Council Bluffs Canning
company. The case Is being tried to the
court wholly by dispositions. Among the
outside legal talent interested in the case
are Attorneys Doty and Sawyer of Sioux
City and Swetzer of Topeka.
The case of the Dover National bank
against the Woodbine, Ia, bank came up on
a motion for trial when the announcement
was made that 1t had been settled by COM
promise. The case involved 81, 800, which
was the New Hampshire banks interest in
a judgment for 50, 1000 secured against the
Woodbine bank.
The grand jury convened and received the
courts instructions, and then retired to
grind out its gist OF Indictments. These will
chiefly be against bootleggers and counter
feiters and a few violators of the postal
laws. The grist is not expected to be as
large as ordinarily.

Forgery to that Term.
Charles Altmansperger has been sentenced
to Imprisonment at Fort Madison for a term
CT seven years.
The sentence was pronounced by Judge
Thornell in the district court yesterday after
noon. Altmansperger pleaded guilty to two
charges of forgery found against him by the
last grand jury, and the court gave him a
sentence Of three and a half years on each
Indictment. There were five other indic:-
ments against the prisoner, but they were
dismissed on motion of County Attorney Saun-
ders. Altmansperger took his sentence
quietly, but was badly affected after he left
the court room and was taken to the Jail,
where he was permitted to have an interview
with his wife.
Altmansperger was manager at Nicola for
the S%eiffert & Weise Lumber company and
forged papers, swindling his employers out
Of large sums of money. He was also treas
urer of the school board at Nicola and robbed
the school fund Of 5000. Notwithstanding
the numerous populations Of the man. he
has a great many warm friends, and an eff
fort will be made at the earliest time posi-
BILE to have his sentence changed. Much Of
this feeling exists among the men who are
losers by the mans crimes. They all liked
Charley Altmansperger and all have great
sympathy for his wife and five children, who
are really left without, means of support dur

father. 70 ta.5

The general fund levy Is limited by law
to 10 mills. On the low assessed valuation
Of property, which seems to be chronic in
this city, that levy yields just about half
money enough to meet the expenses that be-
long to the general fund. The city has been
piecing this out by adding the police fund
to the general fund. Some years the COM
bined funds have been sufficient, and then
again they have not. The current expenses
exceeded the receipts in the general and po-
lice fund in the following amounts in the
following years: 1888, 1877, 4OS. 81; 1889,
