WAR News.
a Formal Declaration
of War Made.

Congress on Monday passed a
formal declaration Of war against
Spain. The resolution passed the
House in less than two minutes,
the Senate acted upon it after a
short debate. Tie President has
signed it, ard il is now in force.
Simpsons squadron has block
AIDED Cuban ports and the Amcri-
can ships have captured Il number
of Spanish merchant vessels.
No actual fighting has yet occur
red, but may begin at any time.
Firing upon Havana is apparent t.
ly being withheld until the army
is ready to cooperate with the
navy.
The President has issued call
for 125.O 900 volunteers. of which
Missouri will furnish between four
and FIVE thousand. State militia
will be given the preference.
The Dons show no signs of back
ing down. and the war may be ex-
tended to Spanish home territory.
Foreign nations are still assum-
ING neutral attitude, though
Spain is making desperate efforts
to find an ally.
The American Asiatic squadron
is now approaching the Manila
Islands, Spain's possessions in
South seas, with oldcrs to make an
attack on the enemys fleet and
forts. 1t is very probable that the
first battle of the war will occur i'll
that part of the world. Thcurcvo-
lutionist arc again very active III
these islands. and will cooperate
with Commodore Dewey in driv inc

Signs of Western Prosperity.

1t will be il poor time this year
for politicians and orators to make
capital out of "hard times and
mortgaged homes" One of the
most noteworthy features of the
financial year lately ended has
been the astonishing decrease of in
debtcdncss throughout the West:
indeed, the record shows that in
every single State and Territory
the total sum due on farm and
home mortgages decreased during
1897. Nebraska seems to have been
the banner State in this respect. In
1896 the mortgages filed in that
State amounted to S12, ,O33, 800,
while the releases were only S11,-
39S, 900, Il decided rctrogression.
In 1897, however, with new mort
cages which footed up to a total of
s11,S43,o00, the releases reached
the gratifying figure of Sl4, 767, :
900, or a net gain of s., ,923. 600
showing a prosperity such as the
Western farmer has not made in a
great many years. The gain in the
cities has not fallen behind that of
1896, the figures for the last half
of 1897 being: filed, 81, $50, 900;
released, 81 .245, 900. In 1896 the
new mortgages amounted to 81,

"Hanna, Mckinley & Co. whip

minority of the Republican Sena-
tors. Thanks to the Senate the
Maine will be avenged and Cuba
will be free. DE Soto ''Press."
EVER since the State senatorial
bee got into Mitchim's hat he has
become more rancorous in his re-
marks than ever. The bee keeps
him in a state Of irritabililty that
would call forth our sympathies
were he not making so ludicrous a
spectacle of himself. Every time
the bee stings, friend Mitchim
claws the circumambient atmos-
phere, cracks his heels together
and shouts, ''Ianna,' in a voice
intended to reach from the ''Press"
Office clear over to the railroad
shops.
Yes, thanks to the Republicans
in the Senate, and to the Rcpubli-
cans in the House, and to Prcsi-
dent Mckinley, ali of whom got
together on the joint resolution
which declared that the Maine
must be avenged and that Spain
shall give up Cuba to the Cubans,
while the Democrats in Senate and
House, for political reasons, were
wrangling over the recognition of a
mythical Cuban government. How
many Democratic Senators voted
for the resolution which sent our
feet on to Havana and is moving

didatc for public Office will ap-
preciate the following sensible
words from the St. Louis Republic:
''As soon As candidates announce

cal pirates commence trying to

noyanccs multiply with time. No
matter if the candidate keeps him

yet there are a thousand ways by
which the pirates make life a bur

them out of money have only one

assenblage, above which loomed the
honorable court. with impatient eyes
showing above spectacles placed far
down on his nose.
The sausage maker had denied that
the vat rings were those worn by his
wife. To rebut this Sophia Tewes, who
had identified the circlets many times
before. was again put in the witness
chair and swore that these were the
rings which had adorned the fingers of
Mrs. Luetgert. Gordon Clark. who sold
luetgert the renowned potash. Frank

and others were subjected 10 question,
the answers to which contradicted or
shaded the Westphalian's testimony.
Carl Voelker occupied five minutes In
declaring that Luetgert. when advised
by him to make soft soap. declared 10
use the common article of commerce
would be cheaper. Mr.. Harmon tried
to show that in May tallow was sc
cheap that the proposition was re-
versed. Others to testify were A
