4th of March was an event which many
enthusiastic republicans thought wor-
thy of notice by display of flags and
other decorations. In a town not far
from Lincoln many people paused in
establishment at seing the house OF a
well-known democrat profusely deco
rated on that occasion. He was not
only a warm supporter of Mr.. Bryan,
but had always been rampant, ir-
reccncilable democrat, never having
voted any other ticket in his life. But
there it was. large picture Of Mckin-
ley in enc window and flags flying
from others. 1t was as coed as show
to see men go into his stor to talk
10 him about it. Some would go in
to congratulate him On his conversion
to sound doctrine. Others were anx-
ious to know when and for what reason
he had changed. His party associates
couldn't understand it and desired an
explanation. He was kept in fret all
day. All he could do was to storm and
swear and keep making explanations.
So it gradually became known that he
had rented those rooms to a man who
happened to be a red hot republican
and was celebrating the return of the
republican party to power. AS the
man had rented the rooms and paid for
them he could do as he pleased and in
sisted On doing so, despite all remon-
strances from the owner. So the pict-
ure staid and the flags waved till night.
Not far from the railroad bridge over
the Platte river at Ashland is a well.
1t is what is commonly known as
drove WELL" and has a pump in it.
1t is only about fifty feet from the
Platte river and according to the usual
theory should be fed from the Platte
and keep on a level with that stream.
1t is, however, thirty-one feet deep and
seems to have no connection with the
river in any respect. During the spring
and summer months. while the river is
warm enough to battle in, the water
CT the well is strikingly cold. almost
as cold as ice water at times. Late in
the summer it warns up, gets warmer
in the fall, and during the early winter,
while the Platte is frozen up, it is so
warm as to be unpleasant to drink.
Toward the end of winter it again
grows cid. For some unexplained
reason it seems to be some months be-
hind the temperature of the river. the
air and other wells in the locality.

STORIES IN PASSING.

A certain young man went home to
dinner recently with live mouse in
his coat pocket. One end Of a fine
string was tied round the hind leg Of
the mouse, the other to a button OF his
coat. Dinner was announced and all
sat down, making long table full OF
young ladies and gentlemen. Every
body was in good spirits. the small talk
was skipping around here and there.
when two or three girls discovered a
mouse creeping around under the
dishes. or course We all know what
took place without any needless delay,
and things were very lively for time.
But when the landlady came running
in from the kitchen to find out what
the shrieks meant, there wasn't any
mouse there. There wasn't anything
that looked like a mouse except a pickle
that had fallen out on the table cloth.
The girls, however, have never become
fully reconciled to the trick and they
are looking on the aforesaid young man
with a good deal of suspicion and dis
trust.

Vancouver, 3. c., July 2l.-Count
Okuna. foreign minister of Jaran says
regarding the annexation of Hawaii to
the United States:
''The foreign office is not surprised at
the proposed annexation. We simply
protest against it, The importance of the
islands will be immensely increased by
the construction of the Nicaraguan or
Panama canal, and it is absolutely neces-
sary therefore to the country dependent
In voyaging to the far east steamers
starting from America must call at
Hawaii. To havs them incorporated into
the union would seriously involve inter
national interests in the Pacific ocean.
Another reason is. this: Annexation would
impair the rights and privileges which
Japan is enjoying in Hawaii. The pro-
test was therefore entered on these
grounds. Leaving aside the attitude of
1'sher powers the question Is. what will
Japan do if under any circumstanc s thu
annexation is carried into practice in
spite of the protest of Japan Japan
must oppose it to the utmost Annexa-
tion must not be recognized.
