Bread Cast on the Waters.

A generation ago, Colonel John b.
Anderson, the uncle Of the late John
A. Anderson, congressman from the
Fifth district Of Kansas, lived in
Pennsylvania and was prominent in
the management Of the Pennsylvania
Central railroad. He gave employ.
ment to young Andrew Carnegie.
Carnegie was admitted to Anderson's
home and had the use OF Anderson's
library. Therein Carnegie first Guilt
waited a love for books. After the
war Colonel Anderson moved west,
and Carnegie went into business.
But he never forgot the Andersons.
Colonel Anderson became prominent
in Kansas affairs and was one Of the
founders Of the College Of Emporia.
He was president Of the first board Of
trustees. The library which Carne-
gle had used, came to Emporia and
i, the library Of the college.
This is the preface Of the story. The
Emporia Gazette tells the rest: Six
weeks ago Andrew Carnegie wrote to
Mrs. j. B. Anderson at Manhattan
and told her that he expected to do
something to commemorate the late
Colonel Anderson and that he was
contemplating putting an addition to
the library building at Pittsburg,
dedicated to Colonel Anderson. He
asked her if she had suggestion to
make. She replied that she had,
that the library which Carnegie had
first studied in, is in Emporia College,
unsatisfactory housed, and that if
Carnegie could erect a suitable build
in for that library, and endow the
the library she would be pleased.
Carnegie replied that her wish would
be gratifed and asked her to submit
her plans.
So it is positively assured that the
College Of Emporia will have a new
library building.

He Has a Remedy.

A western Kansas man writing to
the REFLECTOR to apologize for not
having performed some promised
work and pleading the rush Of BUSH
ness adds: "rhink we will have to
elect a Democratic administration
next time in order to get some rest,
we are crowded all the time" This
is the only good argument we have
yet heard for voting the Democratic
ticket. No one doubts that its sue
cess means rest and lots Of 1t for the

Tho Price Of Beef.

For load Of 1850 pound Shorthorn
steers 81 per hundred weight or
$ll5.5O per head was paid in the Chi
cago markets last Monday. The SO.
called "beef combine" that has been
such a nightmare to some people for
many years, seems at last to have
lost its grip. At any rate prices are
having a continuous advance and the
coterie Of buyers that were popularity
supposed to meet in conference every
morning and "fx" the price Of cattle
for the day have bid the market up
on one another until it has reached a
range Of values where the heart Of the
grower OF fine cattle is once more
made glad and his wallet lined with
greenbacks galore. Possibly it may
now dawn upon some people that
after all the old and memorable law Of
supply and demand is still in active
operation; and that in the face OF the
resistless natural tides that enter in.
to commercial channels individuals
and so.called combination are as so
much driftwood on the flood.
Here are some figures, official in
their origin, that throw flood Of
light upon the rise in the price Of
beef:

The following, dispatch from Manila
shows that Aguinaldo has heard from
the Dickinson County News and ex'
poets great things from the fusionists'
hag-iurling campaign; Copies Of the
proclamation Of Aguinaldo, authorize
ing the return Of Filipino soldiers in
the northern provinces to their homes,
have been received here. The proc
lamation shows that Aguinaldo has
been reading the pamphlets Of Edward
Atkinson. The leader first calls at
tention OF his followers to the "great
party" in America that favors Filipino
independence and says '
1--WE should pray to God that the
great Democratic party may win in
the next presidential election and i'm

subjugate us by force of arms. There
are some Americans in the Philippines
who have joined us because they dis

calls criminal aggression. When
offered a chance to return to their
own camp they declined.

in the proclamation instead OF "the
Americans" as before. He calls the
Americans brothers and says the Fill
ipinos are only defending themselves
against the imperialists. The alliance
which he says he made with Admiral
Dewey and the American consuls at
Hong Kong and Singapore he declares
the Filipinos have never broken.
The Dickinson county fusion candi-
dates ought to wire their sympathy
to Aggie. He is counting on them.

BRYAN the Warrior.

The Nebraska Conservative loyalty
stands up for its home statesman and
warrior thus: The attempt-upon
the part of the Chicago Times-Herald
and other hide-bound Mckinley or
gans-to make the naval career of
Dewey equal in valor and victories to
the military career of Colonel William
Jennings Bryan is most miserable
failure. All these efforts to shut out
from the gaze of admiring and daz-
zled citizens the refulgent and mean
descent achievements Of Colonel
Bryan upon the field of battle, by
hosting the Dewey record must fail.
Thus will Colonel Bryan 60 down the
corridors Of the ages, in full uniform,

the legend "lnvincible in Peace In
visible in War;" All attempts to be-
little Colonel Bryan as military hero
will fail fail utterly.

A vigorous fight is being made by
the merchants associations Of the

FOR FRIENDSHIPS SAKE.

When the more than middle aged
man, who pens these lines, was an
unbreeched tiny little Salopian dot,
his infantile mind was often puzzled
at the meaning of an ever recurring
toast: "To all friends round the
Wrekin." He never appreciated the
sense of it until a sage and generous
minded father made him pass
through the "needle's eye" Of that
hill-which to his childish eyes was
an immense mountain-and pointed
out to him the fertile hills aud val
leys ii many lovely English and
Welsh counties. "Wben, NY lad"
said he, "we drink to that tosat, we
wish our best and the best 10 all
our friends wheresoever they may
be in Gods round world. Love to
all, friendship to all; for friendship
fingers after love has departed; it
has no wings"
