Danger of Sickness.

The water in the Truckee is low. AT
this point the channel is covered on the
bottom for the entire width OF the
stream. hut the volume is small and The
streams flows sluggishly. There has
been no complaint SO far among our
ranchers but they feel that they may
run short before the season is over. The
point that interests oar people the most
however is the quality of the water We
will use for drinking purposes. We all
know there are many more cases OF sick
ness here when the water is low i'll the
river than when there is plenty. We
have but little sickness when there is
plenty of water. A walk to the bridge
will show that the railroad company
would do well to put in a tight wing
dam that would provide living water for
the pumping plant. As it is the water
is sluggish and the river bed is a mass OF
moss and vegetable growth that is harm
full. With an Improvement in the pres
est condition OF affairs, we opine the
railroad company will, in order to sup
ply itself, have to seek some other
source of water supply, and we would be
joyful if the long talked about well had
to be dug. An ounce of prevention
will work a pound OF cure and perchance
save a large bill for medical attendance.
We are, however, careless OF these mat
tiers until we get sick and do not take
the precautions we should. The rem
edies are simple TO guard against sick
ness caused by poor water. Water
boiled and allowed to cool is one OF them
Filthering carefully is another. While
perhaps the hest, the easiest and the
safest is the one used by W. d. Linton
OF the Nevada House. He advises the
use of pe%rmangante of potash, about one
grain to ten gallons OF water. There is
absolutely no DANCES in moderate use OF
it, while too much gives toxic effects.
1t is II OF the most powerful dis
infectants known and its value in re-
gard to our drinking water lies in its
power to destroy the germ qualities by
oxidation. 1t would be well for our peo-
pie 10 take proper precantion To preserve
health during The warm season.

FATORS cor 4 TERRIr0RE.

The people of New Mexico have OBJ
tanned for their territory, in the bill
which passed congress last week, favors
Whlch nave never before been granted
any territory in reference to the disposal
OF the public land. Under this bill there
VIII be granted to New Mexico
land for educational and other
state purposes exactly the same
rs though it had been admitted as a
state and the title will pass from the
united States to the territory at once.
There are the general grants for school
purposes and special grants for thea gri-
cultural college, for asylums and chart
table institutions and for river improve
ment-in all nearly Il million acres of
land. The bill is now in the hands of
the president.
The excuse for this unusual favor 10
New Mexico territory is that because
OF thep roportionally small area of good
lane in the territory and the rapidly
with which it is being homesteaded
there is Il prospect that by the time
statehood is secured there will be little
left other than the arid land which re
quires the expenditure of large sums to
make it valuable. Another point not
overlooked is that the court
of private land claims has
recently restored to the pub.
lie domain large tracts of land hereto.
fore in litigation and it is desirable that
the territory should have a chance to sc,
cure some of this choice land.
The effect of this new policy for New
Mexico will be beneficial. The territory
Is to get some of the benefits of state
hood without any of the increased eX
penSe of maintaining n state govern,
mCnt. In some respects il is better than
statehood. The United States will con
time for some time to pay the salaries
of territorial officers and the territorial.
legislature will be able to begin making
plans for the various state institution.
that will be needed some time. There
will be land sold soon and special funds
will be accumulated which will be ready
for use when the state Is formed. New
Mexico is already progressive and grow
ing and this bill will greatly help in thu
forward movement.
And now Arizona and Oklahoma will
ask for equally good treatment ant
there is no reason why they should no

A DAY.
Celebration OF the state of Illinois ut
tho Exposition.

hNhh
Illinois day at the Transmississlppi Ex-
position has been fixed for June 81, a week
from next Tuesday. II will be a memorable
day Of the great fair at Omaha and should
be fully celebrated by a representation Of the
people OF the state and Of their trade. arts
and Industries.
Omcers of the various municipalities OF
Illinois, the commercial and industrial or
CARNATIONS of the state. the business and
social clubs. the educational institutions OF
the state, the great political parties by n
friendly arrangement with their. leading
men, in which partisanship does not APP
pear, and other public interests OF the first
Importance will be represented on the APP
pointed day at Omaha. The popular attend
ance from this state should be equal in
numerical strength to our Importance in the
union and in the labor. politics and COM
merce of the country.
The productive and commercial interests
of Chicago are largely concerned in all that
relates to the development and progress of
the western states OF the union. All which
promotes activity along the great highways
of western traffic, which builds up the towns
and draws trade to the populous busy CEN
tiers, whatever, contributes to the growth
and greatness of the vast territory within
the area of commercial influence with Chi
cago as the center-to which Chicago is the
open gate of entrance-has a living interest
in the success of the Omaha exposition.
Every pulsation along the veins OF trade in
the northwest has its stimulus at Chicago
and should receive a response.
The exposition at Omaha, which opened
June 1, will remain open until November l,
making a season of five months. The west
beyond the Missouri should take as great an
interest in the Omaha exposition as the
people this side of the Missouri. They
have interests with the people of the cen
trail part of the country which may be
served by their cooperation in making the
Transmississippi Exposition at Omaha an
abundant success in all resneCis.

DISCUSSING HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
Discussion Of the resolution for the
annexation OF Hawaii was commenced
in the house on Saturday and will be
continued. according 90 announcement,
during the first half Of the present
week. II has been reported to be the
intention Of the president to send a
message to congress urging Hawaiian
annexation as u necessity of the war
and 1t is said that his influence Is being
eXertcd in behalf of the resolution pro-
posing the absorption of the islands by
the United States.
While there Is no doubt that President
Mckinley Is in favor of annexation,
we hesitate to believe the reports which
represent him as aggrcssively urging
that policy. Confidence in the conserv-
atism of the president and in his great
regard for intelligent public opinion
leads us to think that he will not take
n course in this matter which he must
know would he offensive to n large
portion If not the great majority of
the more thoughtful, sober-minded and
conservative men of the nation. The
respect which Mr.. Mckinley has uni
formly shown for that element of the
people which has opposed the aban.
doiment of long-establislled policy in
respect to our International relations
does not permit the belief that mt this
Juncture he Is disposed to countenance
or encourage action which manifestly
would place the United States in a
false position before the world and &c
lar to Justify the worst opinion of Eu.
ropeans in regard to the motives and
purpose OF this republic. We canno
bring ourselves to think that President
Mckinley, who has thus far shown q
wise sagacity and craftsmanship com
handing almost universal commenda
tion. Is ready to yield to a clamor 70,
which there is no valid reason or ius
t~ification Ind lend his great %infuenc,
TO Il proposal to drift the nation on
or n path In which for more than 9
hundred years it has enjoyed securit,
ana realized n growth of power ant
Il degree of prosperity without parable
in the history of nations.
We will not venture to predict wha,
may be the result of the discussio,
IN the house of the question of Ha
waiian annexation. There is seriou.
danger of the success of the annexa
tionists, who seem to be in the ma
Jority. But it is to be hoped that il
any event President Mckinley vii
pay no part in the result and that il
this as in other respects he will tax,
counsel of the prudent and sober opin
ion of the nation.

While the German-American press
rarely INDUCES in pungent paragraphs,
it must be credited with occasional
lever shots that hit the bullseye of tb"
target. In commenting on the recent
appointment of political generals, the
New Yorker Staats-Ieitung says: IRE
garding the appointment of officers in
the army President Mckinley seems to
follow the example Of his great predeae s-
sor, Lincoln, who also appointed a great
many generals and %colonels, just to do
n favor to some politicians. one day
Lincoln received Il report to the effect
that Il 'newly-baked' general with his
whole staff had been taken prisoners,
In his dry manner he remarked: Sorry
for the fine horses The bystanders
seemed to be astonished and Lincoln
added: Such generals l can make by
the scores. but the horses are rare and
cost 5000 apiece"

YOTING BY VOLUNTEERS.

There can be no doubt that public
sentiment is in favor of allowing the
volunteers to vote, wherever they may
be. There Is precedent for this which
ought to be respected and undoubtedly
will be. In 1864 fourteen of the states
authorized their soldiers in the field to
vote for presidential electors and there
be also permitted to vote for members
OF congress.
Speaking on this subject n few days
20 Representative Grow of Pennsyl-
vania said that congress can provide
for n person to vote if he is enlisted
under the flag of his country, wher,
even that has a right to float; whether
III the deck of a skip on the high seas
or ON land thousands of miles from
home. "The flag of the country that
floats in Manila today" said Mr.. Grow,
''or wherever it has a right to float,
the soldier who stands under it stands
on American soil and he Is entitled
to all the rights, civil and political
that he was entitled to ut his home
10000 miles away, for by the laws of
congress he does not lose his residence
wherever he may be in the service OF
the country" Mr.. Grow urged that
congress can make regulations as to how
the elector shall exercise his right ant
whether it is home or abroad. If he il
enlisted in the service of his country
wherever he is he is at his home Sc
far as those rights are concerned.
There are nice legal considerations

DIVERTING EXPOSITION FINDS

When he people of Omaha and Dong
las county voted 100000 of exposition
bonds they had nc idea that any part
OF this money would be diverted into
side shows under pretext that Douglas
county must make n separate exhibit of
us agricultural and horticultural prod.
ucts. Measured by their actual value or
their advertising value, Douglas ounty s
farm products bear an even smaller ratio
TO the products of Omaha's mills, facto.
rles ana meat packing plants than does
the population of the country precincts
TO the population of Omaha and South
omaha. If the So-called societies that
lain to represent horticulture and az
rlculture are entitled to eXDend more
nan I'D per cent of the exposition fund
voted by the taxpayers, the manufacture
ers. merchants and jobbers would have
good ground to demand ten times as
much II the exposition would get
nothing. AT the very best the conces-
sion made to the political truck garden
erS should have been within the allow
ance regularly made to county societies
FOR their annual fairs.
Instead of being content with a recog-
milton entirely out of place in an inter
national exposition the Douglas county
political truck gardeners insist upon
using up more money than has suficed
to build the Georgia state building, col
lect the Georgia exhibit and pay for its
transportation and maintenance on the
exposition grounds. Such n waste of
money intended to meet the legitimate
demands of the exposition is utterly in
eXcusable. Douglas county is part of
Nebraska and Nebraska has abundant
space and abundant funds to make a
creditable showing for every county in
the state.
Now, however, that the Douglas
county side show has been installed an
expenditure of more than $1,000 or So, ZOO
for its care and maintenance during the
exposition season would be Il reckless
waste and u~nwarranted diversion of
public money. The proposed Investment
of money in fresh vegetables, fruits and
flowers from week to week would be
so much money thrown to the winds.
1t is not expected that p~erishable ma.
terial be placed on exhibit in an eXDosi.
ton lasting five months. In any event
the financial needs of the exposition
should not be sacrlnced to the rapacity
of political hangers-on when the money
voted by the people to the exposition is
idle in the treasury.

oh, Mother of a mighty race,
Yet lovely IN thy youthful grace.
Admire, yet hate, thy blooming years,
With words of shame
And tauntS of Scorn they join thy name
For on thy cheek the glow is spread
That tints thy morning hills with red.
Thy Step-the wild dCer's ruStling feet
Within thy woods are not more fleet.
Thy hopeful eye
Is bright as thine own sunny sky.
Ay, let them rail, those naughty ones,
While safe thou dwellest with thy sons.
They do not know how loved thou art;
How many a fond and fearless heart
VIII rise'to throw
Its life between thee and the foe.
Thine eye with every coming hour
Shall brighten, and thy form shall towes,
And when thy sisters elder born
Would brand thy name with words OF scorn.
Before thine eye,
Upon their lips the taunt shall die.
They know not In their hate and pride
What virtues in thy children bide;
How true, how good, thy graceful maids
Make bright like flowers the valley shades,
What generous men
Spring, like thine oaks, by hill and glen.
What cordial welcomes greet the guest
ny the lone rivers of the west;
How faith Is kept, and truth revered.
And man is loved and God is feared,
In woodland homes,
And where the ocean border foams.
There's freedom at thy gates, and rest,
For earth,s downtrodden and opprest;
A refuge for the hunted head,
For the starved laborer toll and bread.
Power at thy pounds
Stops, and calls back her bafied hound

Sillil SIT q noDler grace than now.
Deep IN the brightness of thy skies
The thronging years in glory rise,
And as they fleet
Drop strength and riches at thy feet.

When President Faure gave a public

congratulate him On having won the
Grand PriX, the blue ribbon of the
French turf, the announcement was
made that the baron had decided TO give
his winnings, Sl0,O0O, TO the state dc

CONSERVATION among the horsemen and

that will have to be followed hereafter
by all who wish to escape criticism, but
it has brought joy to the poor people OF
