AN AMERICAN RAILROAD IN
CHINA

Moneyed men from the United States
have secured a franchise for building a
railroad from Hong Kong to Han kow,
China, a distance of nearly 100 miles.
While railroads are necessary to a ma
tons prosperity, health is still more
necessary. A sick man can't make money
if there are a thousand railroads.. One
of the reasons why America is 50 pro-
gressive is the fact that in every drug
store is sold Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters that celebrated tonic for the weak,
appetizer for the dyspeptic and sedative
for the nervous. 1t is taken with great
success by thousands of men and women
who are run down, pale and weak. 1t
increases the weight, INK the gain is per-
manent and substantial.

publication is that publication In
the Bulletin is cheaper than In
a paper of general circulation. When
it is remembered that this special cleo
ton is advertised to take place on Thurs
day, November >, between s Il. IN. and
6 y. M. while the general election will
be held on Tuesday, November {, the
true object of the cheap publication be
comes manifest
Why was special election called five
days ahead of the general election? EVi-
IDENTIFY because the promoters Of the lit
tie motor job did not dare risk the full
vote usually polled at general elections.
Why was the notice Of election inserted
in sheet that does not circulate in the
village? Evidently to keep the people in
the dark.
1t goes without saying that such fla
grant abuses could not he practicCd upon
the people If all publications of legal
notices involving taxation and mortgage
foreclosures were required to be given
the widest publication through papers
of established general circulation.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-10-18
A FLAGRANT ABUSE.

One of the most fragrant abuses to
which communities and private individ-
uals are subjected in this state Is the
use of obscure and readerless papers for
the publication of official legal notices
that should by rights be given the wild
est publicity. 1t is common practice for
county judges to order the publication
and directly affecting widows and
orphans in papers that have not a
handful of bona iide subscribers, when
it is manifestly the duty of probate
judges to have such orders published in
newspapers of general circulation.
1t is the practice of shcrlffs and master
commissioners to publish notices of fore
closures of mortgages and chattel sales
in papers that have not single paid
subscriber and the victims of this NAL
practice have no redress for the willful
sacrifice of their interests in property
sold under the hammer where there are
no bidders because of the lack of proper
publicity. And yet the courts wink and
blink Mt this shameful abuse of public
trust, while many lawyers are reputed
to charge up to their clients the full legal
rates for advertising in readerless papers
that give them rake-off.
A striking illustration of this abuse
has just come to our notice, Among sew
eral columns of notices of foreclosure
sales, divorce notices and sheriff's sales
that appeared in the last issue of the
Omaha Labor Bulletin is a notice of an
election to vote bonds for proposed
street railway in the village of Benson,
one of the suburbs of Omaha. This
notice is addressed to the voters of the
village as pretended compliance with
the law. After thorough canvass it ap-
pears that only three copies of the Labor
Bulletin, so-called, could be found with
| a searchlight in the town of Benson,
which boasts nearly 100 voters. Ii would
be safe TO parry dollars 10 doughnuts
that not one solitary person in the vii
| lage of Benson except alone the village
clerk and possibly some of the promoters
| of this bond grab, have ever seen the
bond election notice. And yet the tax
paying voters of the village of Benson
are presumed To have received fair
warning that mortgage is about to be
plastered upon their town which they
are expected To redeem, principal and in
terest' by special taxation upon theiI
property.
The-fllmsy excuse given for this sham
Omaha daily bee., 1899-10-18

where the railroad from Durham 10 Pretoria
meets the line that runs northwest to Har-
rismith and Bethlehem in the Orange Free
state. Thus trade goes hriskly on from
ladysmith through the two passes over the
Drakenberg mountains leading in one dIrcc-
ton into the Orange Free state and in the
other into the Transvaa
The town has about 5000 inhabitants, most
OF whom are Europeans. There is strong
British garrison at Jadysmith ard it is daily
being reinforced. Thus We see at this main
point Of interest, on the one hand, few
Boer hames where the largest force OF
Rcers has been mustered ready to defend
tho plateau or to invade Natal; and on the
other. a few Natal settlements. only one OK
which is Of considerable size, where British
troops are waiting to rcpcl hostile advance.
The next gathering point OF Bocr troops
to the west is at and near Harrsmith in the
Orange Free state. whore a force OF the
troops of that republic is on guard to pre-
vent British invasion through the pass
along the line OF railroad between Ladysmith
and Harrismith. This is known as Van
Reenens pass and Harrismih, which was
named after Sir Harry Smith. former
English governor at the cape is thriving
town and a center of trade between Durham
and the Orange Free state,
The British can win their way into the
Boer republics through these two passes, 1t
is believed, only by hard nghting and at the
cost of many lives. 1t is reported that on
that account they will attempt only the de-
fcnso of these passes against any effort the
Beers may make to pass through them and
invade Natal; and that the British will seek
an entrance into the South African Republic
on the west, striking across the border from
Nryburg or Mafeking, and making for
Kerksdorp, which Is the terminus of
railroad line running east to Pretoria.
Kerksdorp is a bustling town close to the
Vaal river and about 5000 Europeans live
there. 1t is one OF the gold mining centers
CT the Transvaal and is on une OF the main
trade routes to the capital Of the country.
The purpose OF the British would be to seize
the railroad terminating there and use 1t, X
possible. in their advance on the capital.
If the report is true that the Portuguese
will permit the British to utilize the rail-
road from Dclagoa bay for the invasion OF
the Transvaal, the Beers will have to guard
another pass in the mountains, but they
would probably be able to make 1t very diff
fCult for their enemies to get through the
rift in the Lebombo mountains by which the
railroad gains the plateau and goes on its
way to Pretoria. This rift is known as
Komat poort or pass and it is narrow
dC!ilC with a steep gradient.
