YORK COLLEGE TRUSTEES MEET
Decide to Solicit subscriptions TO

YORK. Neb., June l6.-(Special.) THE

w Stoner. The chair OF history and Eng
lish, vacated by the resignation OF Prof.

there are a number OF applicants. The elec-
ton OF the board OF trustees resulted as fol-
lows: A. c. Montgomery, s. Thompson, W.
F. Reynolds. 4. B. Taylor, E. 4. Gilbert. The
executive board for the coming year Will con-
sst Of: President W S Reese, a. c. Mont

Montgomery is president, w. E. Schell sec
retary, y. A. Dean treasurer. and Rev II. D.
Crawford field manager. Among the matters
discussed at this meeting was the raising OF
the debt that hangs over the institution. II
was decided TO solicit subscriptions through
out the state TO be paid by November ], con-
tingeut upon the entire amount being raised
by that time. The members OF the board feel
very hopeful OF the outlook, and no difficulty
is anticipated in raising the amount needed
to pay of outstanding obligations. The in
debt~dness Is not large, in fact exceedingly
small considering financial conditions. and as
the assets OF the institution exceed the liza
bili;ies by s43, 600 II will be readily seen that
the college is far from being in state OF
bankruptcy.

Sentiment VS.. Science.

Col. Robert Ingersoll and Ella
Wheeler Wilcox have both written
articles in response to a request for
their opinions whether science or
sentiment should govern the sexes
in assuming marital relations.
We quote the following gem from
Ingersoll:
"Science can no more take the place OF
sentiment in the relation of the sexes
than can electricity replace the beauties
and wonders of the sunlight.
Whatever disasters, disillusions and
despairs love marriage may finally end
in, one month of absolute love life is
worth more in the scale of experience
than twenty years of friendly comradeship
between husband and wife. A mere ply
steal attraction without the basis of mutual
respect cannot result in happy union
The true, she divine, the holy and the
really happy marriage must be builded
on the cornerstone Of love-"
And Ella Wheeler Wilcox who is
in perfect accord with Col. Ingersoll
in his opinion on the subject, says
"Love and sentiment must be cultivated
IN marriage. not eliminated, if we would
better the human species.

A Klondike Trousseau.

The hold that the Klondike fever
has taken upon the public mind is
in no way better illustrated than by
the displays made in sporting goods
shops and clothing stores along
Broadway, says the New York Ad-
vertiser. About every one of these
shops, from Chambers street to
Fourteenth street, has something
on exhibition alleged to be abso-
lutely needed by embryo miners be-
fore they can successfully dig gold
in the frozen north. The most pop
ular of the shops, and the one which
attracts the largest number of peo-
pie before it's window from morning
until night is an establishment just
above Duane street. In the show
case is suit made of cowhide, the
skin tanned black and the hair
turned inside. 1t will weigh about
Is pounds. There is an undershirt
made of rough wooden cloth, fully
three-quarters of an inch in thick
ness. Under drawers of the same
material, gray undercoat of cloth
resembling a blanket. trousers of
the same material, a cap of cow
hide, with flaps dropping to the
shoulders; patent muffier, which
covers the face; wooden mittens for
the hands and leather mittens to
go over these; reddish yellow oil
tanned knee boots, with two-inch
soles and wooden socks complete
this unique winter suit. The entire
outfit weighs about 81 pounds.
To be u fashionably dressed Klon-
dixie miner is certainly hardship,
The writer tried on one of the suits,
and the sensation was that of being
nailed up in box. He was barely
able to walk. Only a man of pro-
digious strength can cover more
than two miles day in one of the
suits if his life depended on it.

Let no farmers be deceived by
goldbug claptrap, concerning the
rise of wheat, says the National
Bimetallist. Any man who can
read must know that it comes from
a veritable bread famine in other
countries.
Prosperity which is haunted by
the ghosts of starved millions in
other lands is not the kind of pros
perity that the American people
desire. Moreover, such prosperity
is bound to be temporary, for even
gold champion, great though he
be in promising, can scarcely give
US the assurance that there will al
ways be general crop failures in
India and Argentine and short
crops in Europe.

SITUATION IN MEXICO.
What the Great Fall in Silver r. Accol
plishlng There.

A recent dispatch to the New
York Herald from Mexico City
says exchange on New York has
reached 145 premium. In other
words, it takes 2 As, Mexican money,
to buy an American dollar contain
ing less silver than the Mexican.
This enormous depreciation of the
Mexican dollar is running mer-
chants. They are canceling all or
ders for imports, and many will
close their stores as they cannot
sell the stock on hand at a rate
high enough to replenish them.
They believe that the price is un-
naturally depressed, and is due to
conspiracy abroad.
Meanwhile home manufacturers
are booming, as the depreciation in
silver makes a high tariff wall.
Coffee, sugar, tobacco and sisal
hemp planters are prosperous.
Strange to say, the Mexican dollar
buys as imuch goods as ever it did
except of the imported variety.
The Government is hard hit, as
it has to pay the interest on the
foreign debt in gold. There is some
talk of repudiating, but there is no
telling what President Diaz may do.
He may refund the 6 per cent debt,
paying only 3 per cent hereafter.
Capitalists are hocking into the
country to take advantage of the
high premium and invest their gold.
The belief here is that labor paid
in silver will eventually win against
labor paid in gold. In support of
that theory, it is pointed out that
the tin mines of Cornwall will have
to shut down because they cannot
compete with those in the Straits
settlements and Borneo, where
Mexican dollars are current. Bank
ers here say a handful of men in
London are manipulating the money
of the world, which means that
they are controlling the prices of
the world, and that it is the old fight
of monarchy against society.
Rich Mexlcans, accustomed to
living much of the time abroad, are
staying at home, investing their sill
yer in building and improvements.
All kinds of real estate is rapidly
advancing in price, and the demand
for masons and contractors is large.
Attention is being attracted to
tropical agriculture.

Pearls Found In Arkansas.

Great excitement prevails III
Arkansas over the recent discoveries
of valuable deposits of pearls in
the lakes and rivers of that state.
Thousands of people are wading
through the water in different parts
of the state searching for the prec-
ious gems. The latest and most
sensational discoveries were made
in the Arkansas river and the creeks,
lakes and bayous near Little Rock,
where pearlAhave been picked up
ranging in 13he from $40 to $500
each.
Hundreds Of people are working
the Saline, White and other rivers,
and many valuable finds have been
reported. Recent discoveries lead
to the assertion that never in man 3
history were somany and such large
pearls discovered. Pearls of from
thirty to fifty grains in weight are
no uncommon things to find in the
possession of country lads who fish
for pearls for pastime. The color Of
the pearls-found is that Of saline
rose, and the texture is first-class.

x JERSEY BIeE STORY.
Everybody Frightsned by m Apiary In \
Private Residence.

Bees by the thousands have dur
ing the last few months made honey
and flourished in palatial resi-
dence in Elizabeth, N. J., abandoned
by its owner for the summer, and
the municipal officials are much
worried, because the bees must be
banished from the house and every
one shirks the dangerous task.
A contractor was ordered to over
haul the house, make some altera-
tons and put it in good condition
for occupancy. With several men
he began operations. The shutters
Of the house had been closed and 1t
was dark inside. The men CROPPED
about until one found a gas jet and
struck a match. A humming noise
like eawmili on full time was
heard, and the astonished men saw
cloud of angry bees descending
upon them.
The men pulled off coats and
hats to fight the savage insects away.
The bees stung numerically and
when the men finally reached outer
air they were in agony. The con-
tractor was anxious to get to work,
and it was a hurry order, but the
men refused to 60 back while the
bees were there. The contractor
thought that by using sulphur in a
charcoal stove he could kill the
bees and proceed with the altera-
tons. He took the stove up to the
house and was in the act OF starting
the fire when a prominent citizen
came along who convinced the con-
tractor that he would be liable for
cruelty if he killed the bees and in
sisted that the board of health could
be forced to get rid of the insects.
The contractor notified the inspec-
tor of the existence of nuisance
and asked to have it abated. AS a
result special messenger was sent
with the notice to the president of
the Society of Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals to have the bees removed
The members of the society were
called together and they found il;
necessary to appeal for legal advice
The board of health then took the
case up and decided that the health
inspector was just the man to do
the business. A member of the
board shouldered a formal bee hive
apparatus and went to the house.
The bees were waiting for him and
he rapidly retreated, leaving the
bee killer in the hands of the insect
enemy. The contractor notified
the city attorney that the regular
authorities had failed to abate a
nuisance and he was going to charge
the city for the time wasted waiting
for the bees to be removed. 1t is
supposed that there are hundreds
of pounds of honey in the besieged
house,
