In Colonel Bry0n's State,

The report of the Labor Bureau of
Nebraska, which has recently been is
sued by an official of Colonel Bryans
faith, will not become a part of the 16-
to-1 literature of 1900. 1t deals with
that mortgage question which Mr..
Bryan never failed to turn to his adj
vantage in his speeches in 1896, by tell
ing farmers that they were being
ground to death by the money power"
OF Wall street and by warning them
that unless the country should get rid
of the gold standard and adopt a 40
cent dollar, they would fall into hope
less bondage. The farmers of Ne
braska believed Mr.. Bryan, at least
majority of them did, and gave him the
electoral vote of that State, and the
farmers of Kansas did likewise. With
the rest of the country, the farmers of
Nebraska now know that the ruin and
perpetual bondage never came. In
stead, Nebraska is one of the States
which. to the amazement of the Popu-
lists, has been having a season of I'M
usual prosperity. That such is the
case the following table, giving the
aggregate amounts of the mortgages
filed and released each year in Ne
braska from 1892 to 1898, both nclud-
ed, shows:

1 send these directions for making in

says Harpers Round Table. Take a
shallow pasteboard box-an empty
plate box is about the right depth-and
paste cloth over the corners, both in
side and out. Have a quantity of
paraffine-wax, and melt it in a shall
low dish, and dip the box into 1t, coat
ing it thoroughly with the wax, taking
special care that the corners are well
filled. If the coating. when hard, does
not seem thick enough. 1t can be dipped

per pound. Two pounds will coat q

wax is hard, the tray is ready for use.

will Pay Interest on Taxes De-
posted in Advance.

Rose Wiesen, 14-year-old girl, disap-
peared from Kenosha and nothing has
been heard of her. The girl had lived
alone with her mother, and on the evening
of her disappearance she left the house,
stating that she was going to church. She
never returned, and the mother reported
the case to the police. The city has been
carefully searched and no trace Of the
missing girl can be found. The only rea-
son that the mother could assign for the
child leaving home was the fact that she
had refused to allow her to marry an
Italian, with whom she had been keeping
company.

The Significance of PETER.

Among the various recent signs of
the breakup of the Populist party the
return of ex-senator PETER to the Re
publican party is significant in its evil
dence that the original sincere Farm
ers' Alliance element is recognizing
that the cause Of the troubles from
which it sought relief in political action
was not in politics at all. This, as
proof of conviction Of error among mis-
guided Populists, is more important
than the defeat of misguiding POpulists
like w. V. Allen, Jerry Simpson and
J. Hamilton Lewis, or even the admis-
sion of that defeat by practical profess
sional Populists like Senator Harris,
PETERS successor.
The man whose "whiskers' were for
six years as much the sign and symbol
Of militant party as were the horse
tails Of the Janissaries, represented
Populism both at its worst, or at least
widest, and best. In his day, the day
ef the defeat Of Ingalls,, the day OF the

This talk of war we're havin' now re-
minds me of the fun
Some of us thought that war would be,
back there in 81;
The woods were full of fellows then who
hollered day and night,
And tried to make the folks believe they
fairly ached to fight,
But when good Father Abraham sent out
his call for men
The fellows that had screeched before
were mighty quiet then.
4 never heard of Grant or Meade or Sher-
idan before
The time arrived for men to act-till
streams were red with gore;
l never heard of any of the men who rose
to fame
Through gallant fghtin' then, until the
time for action came!
j guess the Shermans and the Grants had
nothin' much to say
Before the day had come for men to
plunge into the fray!
Now, there was Ebenezer Webb, who
lived in our town;
| tell you he knew how to put the worst
rebellion down!
For months and months before the time to
shoulder muskets came
He fairly howled for war and swore his
soul was all afame;
But when that dismal day arrived that
men were called to go
The folks were shocked to hear that Eb
had lost his little toe.
My cousin Cyrus, too, was fierce before
the war began;
He ripped and tore and carried on just
like crazy man;
He'd hang around the grocery store and
tell what he would do
If he was in Abe Lncoln's place-and
folks believed him. too,
And cheered the things he said, until the
time for figGtin' came
Then, by the great Jerusha, Cy pretended
he was lame!
The only man from our town who won a
pair of stars
Was Henry Gray, who never claimed to
be a Son of Mars;
He'd merely stood around, without war
like word to say,
But when they wanted men to fight he
boldly marched away!
i have to smile when | recall some howlin'
that was done
Before the guns began to belch, back
there in 81!
Cleveland Leader.

CITY tn BECOME a Banker.

In few days the city Of Milwaukee will
become it's own bank. By the provisions
of new law the city is authorized to &C
cept deposits for taxes in advance and
will pay per cent interest on the deposits.
The idea of the law is not so much to en-
able people to make money by loaning to
the city as to enable poor taxpayers to pay
in advance when they have the money in
stead Of waiting until the middle of the
winter, when it is hard for them to get
along. The certificates of deposit will be
negotiable, and depositor can draw his
money out at any time.
