Admiral Dewey's body servant, who
moved with him from the flagship
Olympia to his new home presented to
him last autumn in Washington, is An
Nav, the Chinese boy. All Nav is an
interesting character, and about as
bright and shrewd a Chinaman as one
ever meets. He is an enlisted sailor m
the United States navy, and is tenn
porarily detailed for duty with the ad-
miral. He speaks English with re-
markable clearness and fluency, is good
natured to an unusual degree, and is
perfectly devoted to his gallant mas
ter. All Nav has sole charge of Ad
miral Deweys wardrobe, lays out his
clothes to be worn each morning and
keeps the admirars trousers pressed
and creased. AS Admiral Dewey js
exceedingly fastidious about his wear.
ing apparel the duties of All Haw in
this respect are quite exacting. In
short time the Chinese servant is TO
return to his native country. He is of
saving disposition and has accumu-
lated snug fortune, which he Ia aux-
ious to invest in China.

Bryan and Democratic congress show
what legislation against trusts means.
"Militarism" is the one word with
which well-known official of organ
lied labor sums up the policy of the
Republican majority of the military
committee which is investigating the
application of martial law in Idaho.
The testimony shows that military
power was applied in the most des-
potic fashion to innocent citizens.
Representative Dick, who is the Re-
publican leader in the national COM
mittee, is doing his best to so obscure
the issues that the Republicans can
evade responsibility on this question.
Representative Lentz, however, and his
Democratic colleagues are bringing out
startling and undeniable facts. No
evasion of the issues will square the
Republicans with the people on this
matter. JACKSON DAY.

Silver Not Dead.

The currency bill that has just passed
congress fastens us to the financial
system of the old world and subjects
us to all the disturbances which affect
them while it places the control of the
volume of paper money in the hands
of bank trust, which will be as merci-
less to the people of this country as
Weyler was to the reconcentrados. The
fight for bimetallism at the ratio of 1G
to / has not been lost. The increased
production of gold has shown the ad-
vantage of more money and has an
swered the argument SO often made
that the parity could not be maintain
ed because of the overproduction Of
silver. The fight against bank-note
circulation will grow stronger as the
big banks swallow up the little ones,
and as the people learn that perma-
nent national bank-nota circulation,
secured as at present, necessitates a
permanent and increasing national
debt.-William J. Bryan.

We would not revert to this oft-dis-
cussed question to give any ones the
oretical views or personal belief in the
matter, or to bring forward the famil-
lar argument that because animals
sleep just after they have eaten, hence
the human animal should do the same
says the Medical Record. DR.. Schulz of
Fribourg has, however, approached the
subject from the chemico-experimen
side, and his results are worthy of rec
ord. Having analyzed the stomach's
contents in two normal subjects a few
hours after meals, some of which were
followed by sleep and others not, he
finds that sleep has for its constant eff
feet the weakening of the stomachs
motility and at the same time there :s
an increase in the acidity of the gastric
juice. On the other hand, simple re-
pose in the horizontal position stimu-
lates the motive function of the stom-
ach, but does not increase the acidity
of gastric juice. The conclusion is
hence reached that, while one should
stretch himself out for a rest in the
horizontal decubitus after a hearty
meal, he should resist the tempting
Morpheus, especially if there be pres
ent dilated state of the stomach or
If its juices be hyperacid.

The hugest joke of the year is the
amendment to the bill for the ship
subsidy steal which proposes to bring
shipping trusts under the Sherman
antitrust law, by a declaration that
the provisions of that law shall be
specifically applicable to the builder,
owner, or either or both of them, of
any vessel entering into any contract
provided for by this act, and any such
vessel is hereby declared to be proper
ty in the course of transportation with
in the intent of said law" Mark
Hanna must have devised this scheme.
Nobody else in the country would have
the cheek to take up a law that has
been utterly discredited, and shown
not to be effective for repressing any
kind of trusts, and offer it as a pre-.
Ventive for new trust. To go to the
people on that sort of proposition IS
to rely on their lack of intelligence. If
the republican party in congress have
any desire to prevent 4 shipping trust
from gobbling up the $9,000,000 year
which this bill filches from the pockets
of the people, it could tasily put an eff
fective antitrust provision in the bill
Instead of this ridiculous pretense OF
one. But it has no such purpose. The
ship subsidy steal is for the special
benefit of trust. 1t is made to enable
a trust to collect tribute from the peo-
PIE just as the provisions of the Ding
ley bill were prepared for that purpose.

QUAIL HUNTING IN EGYPT.
Million Year Are Ensnared by I'll Q
Natives by Ingenious Methods.

Much has been said lately of the cap
ture of quail in Egypt, touching tho
protest made by Frenchmen against
carrying the birds across French ter
ritory for English use. Until this mat
ter rose nobody seemed to know that
quail existed in Egypt; but they do-by
the million. The passage of bands Of
quail over the coast of the delta OF the
Nile, from Port Said to Alexandria, be-
gins in September and last a month
and a half, the birds arriving in little
groups and alighting on the dunes.
Generally, the chase is made by means
of nets Of five meters high, which the
natives extend on cords fastened to
poles, in the fashion of curtains GID
ing on their rods. In reality the net
is double. The first near the side of
the sea is of meshes very large and
loose, but on the back is another net
where the bird will really come and
perch itself in the folds formed by this
second net of small meshes. There is
another method of capture which is
more picturesque. Rows of dried
branches are placed on the shore. At
the foot of each branch is disposed a
tuft of fresh herbs in the middle Of
which is arranged an opening which
ends in snare. The quail, tired by
its journey, takes refuge in the
branch, then in the bunch of herbs,
naturally. without figuring to itself
that it is going to put itself into trap
where native will surprise it and kill
it. With these perfected means OF
destruction, it is not astonishing that
each year more than half million D:
these poor little birds are tallen.-St

plain Duty" Must Prevail.

President Sehurman of Cornell uni
versity concerning our plain duty" in
Puerto Rico, says:

can people will not tolerate any palter-
ing with solemn obligations The
Puerto Rican question has stirred TO
the depths the national heart and con-
science, and legislation inspired by a
breach of good faith will bring terri
BILE Nemesis
This is Prof Schurman's language:
1--WE are bound to this course by SOL
emn promises. The supreme and ire
sistible reason for removing all GUS
toms barriers between the United
States and Puerto Rico is the promise
made by Gen. Miles, when first landing
American forces on the island, that the
Puerto Ricans should enjoy the same
rights and immunities as the people of
the United States. On this understand
ing the Puerto Ricans accepted Ameri-
can sovereignty, not only without op-
position, but with joyful trust and
confidence. The present issue is sim
ply this: Shall we repudlate, or shall
we fulfill, the national engagements!
Shall this great republic break faith
with the little island of Puerto Rico?
Having secured the fruits of Gen.
Miles promise, shall we now renounce
the promise?"
Speaking from the record of the Re-
publican party, SO far as 1t mas got We
probably shall renounce everything
the trusts indicate.

Wearing Out NeedIessIy.

Many people wear themselves out
needlessly; their conscience is a ty-
rant. An exaggerated sense of duty
leads person to anxious, ceaseless ac-
tivity, to be constantly doing some
thing, over-punctual, never idle a sec
ond of time, scorn to rest; such are in
unconscious nerve tension. They say
they have no time to rest, they have so
much to do, not thinking they are
rapidly uniting themselves for prob
ably what would have been their best

Sheriff F. l.. Anderson went to Fts
Madison Monday with Thos Stafford
in charge. He was accompanied By
J. e. Mcclure. Being in office only al
few days, it may seem like a job little
out of the ordinary to him, but he
made the trip as though he was well
scholared in the work, leaving his
victim safe and secure within the con-

Judge passed sentence on Mr.. Stafford
last Saturday, giving him fifteen
months in the state penitentiary at
hard labor.
Tuesday evening, at the Methodist
parsonage, occurred wedding out of
the ordinary, there being two brothers
marrying two sisters, Mr.. Joel Reyn-
olds and Miss Edith Blakeslee and Mr..
Elliott Reynolds and Miss Inez Blakes-
lee being the contracting parties. They
are from Cass county and the girls are
known to belong to one ofthe best and
most wealthy families in Cass county.
Their father owns large tracts of land
north of Marne and is one of the larg-
est cattle feeders of the State, having
recently sold cattle for export for,
whsch he received check for sonle-
thing over $35, 100000. The boys have.
been working for the father of the girls:
and evidently by their efforts have

fathers wealth. Rev. Matheney per-

in modern clothes and no accessories Of
glamour, practice kiss as mechanical

as it is then, utterly devoid of senti-

clumsiness. Romeo is not permitted to
decide whether to throw both arms
around his sweetheart or only one or
which, nor may Juliet be shy or for
ward yielding or resisting, as she
chooses. The director will place their
arms for them if they do not them
selves make picturesque exhibit of
tenderness.
"And the kiss? Shall it be delivered
by the wooer on the lips Of the won
or on the brow or cheek? That ques-
ton is considered and settled. Are
kisses on the stage genuine? Well, not
