NO CANAL BILL THIS SESSION.
Rival Concessions VIII Probably Pre-
vent Action on the Morgan Bill

Sout hCtsch oh tho NhoEkhu Duh
WASHINGTON. Dec. lot seems to
be generally understood that the con-
fict OF interests aver the construction
OF the Nicaragua canal will prevent
action on the Morgan bill during this
session, and, in this event, there Is
reason to believe that when President
Iglesius Of Costa Rica returns to WASH
ington the latter part of the winter he
will discuss with President Mckinley
and Secretary Hay the a~dvisability Of
entering into a treaty for the construc-
tion OF the canal by this government.
Iglosias is in favor of such action. and
so informed the authorities while here.
But nothing can be done by the admin.
istratiou on this line until the Clay.

HE WAS TIRED OF LIVING
And So Sought Death, Did Frank Mems a.
aPlattsmouth Barber.

Platt smouth Barber.
Frank Nieman, a Plattsmouth cigar
maker, committed suicide by taking
poison. Neiman was about forty years
of age and unmarried. His relatives
IRE all dead. He had tried unsuccess-
fully several times before to kill him
self.
The landlady with whom he boarded
discovered him dead when she entered
the room. About n year ago he went
to the X. =. hall, locked himself in,
turned on all the gas jets and laid
down to rest. Several members hap
pcned along later and discovered him
in time to prevent death. He vas pro-
nounced insane and sent to the asylum
in Lincoln, where he remained some six
months. Since then, apparently, he
has been all right.

The Register notes under date of
Oct, %, 1855 that G. H. Van Wyck
and others addressed a meeting at
the Brick House Montague. The
kind is not specified but it was
doubtless of a political nature. The
campaign was warm in Sussex and
meetings were numerous and we'll
attended 1t is elsewhere noted in
the paper that at certain places, the
most cogent arguments were used
by some, who were willing to be
convinced provided any man could
be found equal to the task. These
argumentative chaps gave strength
to their opinions by the use of over
ripe biddy fruit and stale vegetables,
and clinched their arguments by
cutting the harness off the speakers

Some old Rapers.

John T. Armstrong when making

recently, found in the attic a num-

mendable prudence he preserved, and

published at Stroudsburg in 1889 by
James Rafferty,, the Wayne Courier

published at Harrisburg in 1924 by
Mowey and Cameron, and "a num-
ber of copies of the Easton Centinal
published from 1921 to 1886 by
Henry and William Hutter and later
by G. L. Hutter.
They abound with names familiar

fleshly ills were quite as numerous
and people just as trustful then as

There is a lack of personal mer

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Wheat sold in Chicago the other
day at 1.09, and it was not the re-
suit of the free coinage of silver
either.
The stock of gold in the United
States Treasury has now reached in
round numbers $40, 600, 900, and is
still increasing, while the gold in
circulation in the United States has
also enormously increased during
the past year.
The Wyoming Republicans have
decided to abandon the free coinage
of silver proposition which they in
serted in their State platforms in
the last two campaigns and plant
themselves squarely upon the st.
Louis platform. The advance in
Wyoming woods and in farm prices
generally has been toOmuch for t he
silver cause, even in that section of
the country.
Treasury receipts under the Ding
ley law have averaged overa million
dollars day this month and as the
current expenditures of the Govern
ment average only about a million
dollars a day the year around, it is
quite apparent that the Dingley law
is beginning to fulfill the promises
of its trainers in supplying the ne
cessary funds to meet the running
expenses of the Government.
1t is understood that the Eastern
Democrats, headed by Hill, Murphy,
Crooker, Smith of New Jersey and
others, are planning to make Chief
Justice Parker, of New York, the
candidate of the Democratic party
in 1900 TO the exclusion of such ex-
treme free-silver men as Bryan,
Bailey, and other Western and
Southern aspirants for the nomina-
tion. Justice Parker has a record as
IA moderate silver man, not an ex-
tremist, and the plan of the people
who are working to this end is TO
shape the nomination and the plat
form in a way to relegate the silver
question to a back seat upon the
platform, thought not entirely out
of view, making government by in
junction and other fads of this sort
the cry with which to catch the
popular ear, and emitting the tariff
entirely from the issues to be dis
cussed.
