There's Music in the Air.

lucISS WuSiG III UiC ALL
What is home without music? Gen
orally speaking it is a desert in the
journey of life in which there is no
brightness, no attractions to bind the
affections so as to make it a little
heaven below, const quently every
home should contain a musical instru-
ment of some kind to make home
cheerful and inviting. 1t should,
however, be of the best kind and of
reputable make. A poor instrument
is worse than no instrument at all.
Malone, the music dealer of Colum-
bia, is the agent for manufacturers
of high grade instruments which are
unexcelled for richness of tone
and excellence CT build. There is no
use of sending farther from home
than Columbia when Malone can sup
ply your wants at less figures and
save you money in freight. Mr.. Ma
lone is perfectly reliable as can lie
attested by any bark or reputable
business house in that city. He
never misrepresents an instrument
to sell it. Write TO him for catalogue
and other information.

Preamble and resolutions Of Sandy
Run club in memory of David Baker
Wannamaker. Whereas, the Sandy
Run Democratic club has heard with
sincere sorrow of the death, since lis
last meeting, of it's venerable friend
and worthy member, David Baker
Wannamaker, who was a man of in
tegrity and high character, fair and
just in his dealing with his fellow
man, kind and considerate to the
poor and needy, an affectionate hus-
band and father and a faithful friend,
whose precept and example might be
we'll emulated by the younger genera
ton of this community where lie
was so long known and esteemed as
one of our oldest and best citizens;
now, therefore, be it,
Resolved, That in the death OF
said David ker..Wannamaker, this
club has sustained the loss Of a mem
Der who was ever ready to discharge
his duty and whose presence, voice
and counsel will be long and sadly
missed by his survivors, who will
cherish his memory.
Resolved, That a copy OF this pre-
amble and these resolutions be sent
to the family of our deceased men,
Der with assurance of our sincere
sympathy in their deep sorrow, and
that a copy be published in the Lex
ington Dispatch. Seibles.
The following resolutions intro
duced by N B Wannamaker were
unanimously adopted:
We, the Democrats of Sandy Run
Township, in meeting duly convened,
desire to testify anew to our urqual;-
fed endorsement Of the course of our
immediate Representative in Con-
gress, alert, faithful, able, our own
DR.. J VIM Stokes. We regard with
special favor his measure for the ex-
tension of the benefits of the Free
Rural Mail Delivery system as we'll
as the advantages that will accrue to
residents Of the county districts
from the Star Route plan of mail
delivery. We commend his persist
ent, determined opposition to the
Loud Bill, a measure that contem-
plated serious abridgment of the
privileges Of the rural press, truckled
to the interests of the railroad mag
mates, and, in consequence initiated
against the interests Of rural resi-
dents. His Efforts to secure the en-
actment OF an anti option law, to put
q period forever to the nefarious
work of gambling in futures, entitle
him to the plaudits of the producers
of the nation, the we'll done of a con-
fding and grateful constituency.
On motion the club adjourned to
meet at the call of the President.

Against Reduction.

Omaha, Feb. 26.-The initial move
has been made looking towards the
removal of the rate reduction cases,
now pending, from the state to the
United States courts. Judge w. ID.
McHugh, acting counsel Tor the stock
holders of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy. secured a restraining order
from Judge Munger Saturday, prevent
ing the board of transportation from
further reducing freight rates or from
putting into effect the proposed rates
on cattle. hogs, etc. The particular
case in point that of Henry L. Hig-
ginson ct al. stockholders of the Burl-
ington vs.. the state board of transpor-
1ation. McHugh, as attorney for the
Burlington stockholders, takes the po-
sition that the state board of transpor-
tation has no power to fix rates under
the present condition of Nebraska leg
islation without leave from the federal
court after having first shown the re-
duced rate justifable. March was
set for hearing the case on its merits.

READY FOR AN HIVES r1cATloN.
State Department Would Welcome One
ON Nlacruln,s Charge.

Washington, Feb. 24-The secretary
of state has requested Mr.. Hit, chair
man of the committee on foreign at
fairs, not to object to an investiga-
ton OF the charges made by Mr.. Mac
rum concerning the mutiliation of his
mail. Macrum has persistently refused
to give the department any informa-
ton on the subject, and the secretary
feels that it is important that the
truth should be known. Mr.. Macrum
has shown two envelopes addressed to
himself which bear evidence of having
been opened and re-sealed by British
censor with a sticker." One contained
a letter from personal friend, the 9TH
er came from Mr.. Stowe at Cape Town
and bears the stamp of the United
States consul. Neither of the letters
were official, and Mr.. Macrum does not
pretend that any of his correspondence
from the department was opened. The
British government. has instructed Lord
Pauncefote to say that if Mr.. Macrum's s
mail was tampered with it was done
in violation of orders. and must have
been an accident. This can be easily
established, as the censor placed his in
itials upon the .'sticker' with which he
resealed the envelope.
