last spring. This tabluation makes the
showing that under the democratic
times the amount Of farm mortgages
filed far exceeded the amount OF those
released, while in 1897 and 1898 the con-
ditions were the reverse, and the re-
leases exceeded the filings by over six
million dollars for each year. The east.
ern papers are making many comments
on the good condition OF affairs and are
anxious to see what the figures Of 1899
will show.
Nebraskans in Washington are con-
graduating Senator Allen on his selec-
ton Of private secretary. They be
lieve that he has used good judgment in
the appointm. mt OF a man Of sterling
ability and honesty, and one who has
never made any pretense Of being either
a democrat or populist. The new ap-
pointee was formerly a Kentuckian.
where he held federal Office under the
republican administration. He will be
a great help to Allen, as he is born
rustler, but it is hard to see where the
Jacksonian democrats OF Nebraska can
get any comfort out Of the appointment.
The treasury bureau OF statistics has
just made report showing the exports
of breadstuffs for the eleven months
ending with November. 1899, and the
h. hot Tho ~
shipped to other countries was larger
than for any previous year, and that the
shipments were constantly increasing.
1t seems that the popularity Of the great
American product is growing abroad
and that under the present supremacy
of American trade the exports will grow
so large as to permanently raise the
price of the article. This is news tina,
cannot but be welcome in Nebraska.
The report shows that for the clever
months ending with November thi:
country has shipped out 1855 32,65s
bushels of corn, valued at s47, 742, 127
The average export price was forty
cents per bushel. In 1893 it was thirty
seven cents and in 1897 it was thirty ont
cents. In the exports Of corn meal there
is also large increase in quantity. with
higher prices. The amount for 1899 i:
1913, i'll barrels, as compared with 237 ,09;
barrels in 1874. Most OF the corn pro
duct shipped goes to Europe, and ovel
one-third of it is sold to England.
The news that Andrew Carnegie hal
made a gift Of seventy-five thousanc
dollars for the establishment of a library
at the state capital of Nebraska, along
with his other gr at gifts, will cause
general rejoicing when it is realized
that the money thus being given away
is not causing hardship to the thou
sands of men employed by Mr.. Carnegie
On the contrary, notices have beer
posted up at the various works Of TIT
Carnegie Steel Company here in th'
east announcing another increase il
wages of I'll per cent, making tota
raise OF twenty, five per cent since TIT

2. Sculpture.
For many centuries nothing was done.
Heather gods and heroes were abhorred

is all excitement over an unequal match
being the marriage of the heiress, Miss
Marion Ray with Charles Goshaw.
Whilst there Is nothing improper in
the marriage of the son of a blacksmith
to an eiress, yet the age of the bride
comes in as barrier, and now all So
ctety Is asking what will the mother of
the bride do about it.
The groom In question is the son Of an
honest blacksmith, and was one of the
men whose duty It was last winter to
see that the Union rink was kept In good
condition each night after the skaters
had left and he became so dextrous in
the use of the hose in flooding the rink
that its surface was as smooth as glass
rand Charlie received many compliments
upon the quality of his work
1t was at the rink where he met Miss
Ray, who is now travelling with her
mother in Europe. A warm attachment
subsequently, sprang up between the two
and it Is said that many times when
Mrs. Ray thought her daughter was por-
ing over her studies at Craggencroft she
was gliding over the Ice at the Union
skating rink in company with Charlie
Goshaw.
AS a result on April IS last young Co
shaw appeared before Justice of the
Peace J. B. French, at West Superior,
and sought the latter's aid in securing a
marriage license. In filling out the neces-
sary printed form, however, he gave his
name as Emil c. Goshaw, age twenty
seven years, occupation, railroad brake
man, and residence, Wabash, Ind. Miss
Ray gave her name as Marion "Wray,"
residence, West Superior; age, IS years
on the 9th Of last. January, and birth
place Lansing, Mich" She said her
fathers name was James D. "Wray'' and
that her mothers maiden name was
Caroline e. King, which latter Is correct.
The statements were made and sworn
to In the presence Of the justice and
Constable S. e. Riches, and upon this
presentation the former secured for the
happy couple the necessary document en-
titling them to wed. It was not until
April %, however, that their respective
hearts were made to beat simultaneously

dating official who tied the knot and the
witnesses to the ceremony were Miss
| Lottie Peterson and A. M. Palmer. Both
pursued the even tenor of their respec-

upon Mrs Ray. Just what took place
upon the discovery is known only to
! themselves OF late there has been no
end of uneasiness in the Ray household

Legion of Honor Ribbon.
PARIS, Aug 22-Regarding the accusa-
ton that he violated the constitution in
accepting the decoration of grand officer
of the Legion of Honor, rendered him In
behalf Of the French Nation, Ferdinand
w. Peck, the commission general of the
United States at the Paris exposition,
said today:
'T was especially careful not to make
a formal acceptance Of the same when
presented to me by M. del Aunay Belle
Vile (director-general Of the exposition,
in behalf of President Loubet 1 stated
to him that I had examined the laws OF
the United States on the subject, and
that, while greatly approaching the
honor, 1 could not make formal ac-
ceptance at the present time.
Mr.. Peck has received the decoration
possession of which he still holds, pending
advices from Washington.
The Paris edition of the New York
Times says over ninety applications for
the decoration of the Legion OF Honor
have been made by the American COM
mission, which is twice as many as made
by any other foreign commission, list
was furnished to the French authorities,
on their invitation, for each foreign COM
missioner to recommend such members of
his staff as he deemed worthy Of the

San Francisco Chronicle, from the ma
tional commissioners; the directors Of the
various United States sections and their
assistants and most of the important
American exhibitors. The applications for
Mesdames Palmer and Manning were re-
fused
In this connection the Paris edition of
the Times says:
Either this is a measure Of precaution
in view Of the jealous uproar which 1t
would create among French women of
note who have been denied the honor, or
perhaps it is owing to certain social rival
ries."
