If the Regular Republicans have any
idea of making overtures to the Union
Republicans, with deal for single
Republican ticket at the coming city
election in view, they may as well give
it up at once. The Unions will accept
nothing but an unconditional sur
render. They propose to nominate a
straight Union Republican ticket, no
, matter what the Regulars may do at
their nomination. which will be the
first held. If the Regulars want but
one ticket in the field, they will have
to accept the Union Republican ticket,
which will be the Simon pure article,
from top TO bottom.

at is an insult to the men of 1776 to
compare them to the Filipinos aggre-
cation of bandits and cowardly muir
derers," says the Morning News. The
modern prototypes of George Ill are
faithful in their imitation. In the
eyes of the British Grown, the patriotic
American colonists who fought for
liberty and Independence, and for their
homes and tiresides, as the Filipinos
are now fighting, were "bandits and
cowardly murderers' who deserved
death for their presumption. The i'm
perialists and their organs today stand
where stood George Ill and his min
istry during the American Revolution.
BY their serVile defence of tyranny and
oppression they make complete the
analogy between 1899 and l77G.

controversy with the editor of the Mid

ham was elected to the Legislature, as
he knows, by tho use of money, held
his seat throughout the session, and
his virulence to three men only because
they were supposed to have been in

the same thing, for man of the

Valuable Documents Lost.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Sept. 19.-In the
North fire here several valuable rec
ords and manuscripts were destroyed,
among them being the copy and proof
Of the senate and house journals, sew
eral thousand printed copies OF the
election laws of the state and other
printing contracted for by the state
printing board. The journals were al
most completed and the bound copies
would probably have been delivered
at the state house within the next two
weeks had IL not been for the destruc-
ton of the printing establishment. The
last proof on the house journal was
read only a few days ago, and Secre-
tary John Wall and his assis tant, j. o.
Berkeley, were paid In full for their SER
vices. There were still some eight or
ten pages of the senate journal to be
put into type.
The destruction of this property Will
probably result In a loss both to the
state and the printing firm. Jacob
North a. Co. have paid for compost
ton on the house journal over 81, 900.
and probably a third as much for WORK
on the journal of the other house. This
OF course will be a dead loss, as the
state will not reimburse the printer for
the money expended unless the books
are delivered. The law requires the
publication of a report of the proceed
ings of the Legislature and II 1t is to
be complied with in this respect the
secretaries of the two branches and
their assistants will have to be re-em-
ployed.

n poetry, the fact is never lost sight
OF that each ceremony Is for the pur-
pose OF keeping alive the interest in
the Gaelic language and p%erpetuating
the memory OF the ancient Welsh Gus
toms The Catholic priest and the An
glican pastor are for the time beins
eager learners in the school OF the
Celt. The Welsh language is not a
simple patois abandoned to the in.
ferior classes. The same right Is
claimed for it as for the English, and
perhaps the fact that it is maintained
so well in the midst Of the English
speaking masses is due to the Eistedd-
fod' The ancient rites OF the Druids
are by the people, although the Druid
ism OF to-day is Christianity, but they
love to guard the archaic formula and
ceremonial, and to unite Welshmen of
every creed to n arden cult OF the old
Celtic fatherland.

Downey Killed by the Cars.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 1S.-John
Downey, the city marshal at Aurora.
who was killed by being run over by
a string of cars at that place, was at
n time an employee Of the Burlington
railroad, and the news Of his death
was received with much regret at
head quarters. 1t appears from reports
frorl the railroad men at Aurora that
Downey came to his death in a very
mysterious manner, and some Of his
friends were afraid that he had caused
II himself. But as he wa of a very
happy disposition, and there was no
motive apparent for self-destruction,
this belief was not general. The train
crew switching in the yards had just
pulled a string Of cars from a siding,
when the brakeman looked back and
noticed Downey lying beside the track.
He hurried to him and discovered that
one OF the car wheels had nearly sew
cred his head from his body by passing
over his neck. He had not been
dragged any distance, as there was no
dust on his clothing excepting on the
trousers about the knees.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Every woman Is a good actress till
she goes on the stage.
There is one thing a woman never
can understand, and that is herself.
When the devil had his choice as to
instruments he first picked jealousy.
II they were named anything else a
woman would have just as queer a look
In her face when she talked about her
legs.
II there weren't any bad men to be
horrible examples, probably there
wouldn't be any good women to be
shining examples.
Every racy story q man hears he
acts like 1t was old to him and every
woman like 1t was new to her, and
both are making believe.
When a man can make a woman be-
lieve that he can't help thrilling at her
voice she feels she has to marry him
so that she can turn the current ON
whenever she feels like 1t.
The difference between a woman and
a cat is that when you tease the cat
you know she'll scratch you, but when
it's a woman you never know whether
she'll kiss you or tear your eyes out

Death of i II. Rlnck.

KEARNEY, Neb., Sept. 19.-Kear-
ney was greatly shocked to learn of
the death of Mr.. John II. Black, which
occurred at his home in Kenwood
addition. Because Mr.. Black had been
in robust health ana few had even
heard of his illness, the shock was all
the greater. He had been sick about
ten days, the cause of his death being
a complication arising from an acute
stomach trouble. Mr.. Black had been
enjoying the best of health and was
a familiar figure on the streets for
years, strong and robust, only slight
ly gray, and carrying his sixty years
quite lightly. Henderson Black. as he
has always been known, came to
K%earney in 1880 and homesteaded on
the island southwest of the city. He
had been a farmer in McHenry county,
Illinois, and had always followed
farming here. He was probably the
first person to raise celery for the
market in Nebraska, and has the
largest celery garden in the state this
year, he having in about fifty acres.

Triple + agedy at Scotia

SCOTIA, NeD., Sept. 19.--Mrs. Erne
Phillips, the wife Of a young farmer
living near here. killed her two chill
dren, aged respectively | and 2 years,
and then killed herself. She forced the
little mes to take carbolic acid and
then swallowed a portion of the poison
herself. Domestic difficulties was the
cause. Young Phillips lives close to
the residence Of his mother, and while
he was busy working in the field his
young wife went to his mothers house
and announced she was going to leave
her husband. She was very hysterical
and did not state definitely what the
of the trouble was. His mother
in-law tried in vain to dissuade her
from her purpose, and as a last resort
secured her promise to remain where
she was, while her mother-in-law
went to the field to bring in her son
to see II they could not mutually set
tie their differences. Mrs. Phillips was
gone only a short time, as the field
where the young man was working
was not far distant. When she and
her son entered the house they be-
held mother and children lying on the
floor, dead. with every appearance of
having suffered terrible agony. An
empty bottle, which had contained
carbolic acid, told the story.

In modern Welsh the word means
