Ready for Business.

Says lie viii Make No Removals. At Least
at Present VIII Permit An of
Dietrich's Personal stan
to Remain
III WILL wATH The SIAIt fNplOYtS

Az $50 o'clock Wednesday morning
Governor Dietrich became senator
Dietrich and at the same time Lieu
tenant Governor Savage became gov
ernor. This was accomplished by the
acceptance of the resignation of Gov
ernor Dietrich by the secretary OF
state and the signing of the commits
sion Of senator Dietrich by Governor
Savage. The act advanced the lieutcn-
ant governor TO governor and he went
ahead with the business Of the office
as il he was an old hand at 1t. 1t was
held unnecessary for him to take an
additional oath Of Office, for when lie
was sworn in as lieutenant governor,
he took the same oath as the Cover
nor.
The resignation Of Governor Diet
rich was as brief as it could possibly be
made. II read: II hereby resign my
Office as governor of Nebraska to take
effect upon filing hereof
Deputy Secretary of state Frank
Mccartney in the absence of the see
rotary of state, accepted the resigna-
ton marking the time at $50 a. IN. II
has so happened that he has witnessed
the certificates OF two United states
senator's and accepted the resignation
OF one governor. The papers were
presented at the secretary Of states
office every time when MIR. Marsh a
been absent.
Governor Savage did not take long
to grow accustomed to the work and
he was in a very short time being inter
viewed by n host of people anxious to
see what the plans Of the new official
might be. The governor was forced
TO declare himself as the swarm of peo-
pie gassed in review before him.
To a group of newspaper men, Gov
ernor Savage said later in the day;
Il do not intchd to discharge one
man, woman or child who is filling a
state position now SO long as he fills
the position acceptably. But / shall
watch them all and If any do not do
right, ! shall remove such on sight. II

A horrible parricide was committed

A horrible parricide was committed
recently at Marseilles. NJ. Martin Jo-
SINE, cashier at a large firm, resolved
to contract a second marriage. His
son., aged 20. who had given his father
a great deal OF trouble, asked to be
present. NJ. Josime gladly consented,
and presented him with a new suit Of
clothes for the occasion. Joseph Jo-
sinSe angrily declared that they were
not of good quality. The wedding par
ty were Just starting to the church for
the ceremony when the son said to his
father that 1t would be more in keep
ing to take some flowers to the tomb
of his dead mother, He then pulled
out a revolver and exclaimed: Take
that. One bullet for you. and two for
me afterwards" NJ. Posime fell dead.
and his son. who expressed gladness,

Succi, Tanner. and all other fasting

a young widower who lives In the Eau
bourg st. Antoine, Paris. This person
lost his wife a few months since. and
his grief took the form of a desire to
starve himself to death. He had, it Is
affirmed, been without food since De-
cember 20, 1900. When found he was
a mere heap of skin and bone. A
neighbor poured some warm bouillon
down his throat, and after awhile he
revived and wrote on a piece of paper,

CENTER OF POPULATION.

I'm ten years the center of popula-
ton was moved westward fourteen
miles and southwark two and "A half
miles. This is the smallest move ever
noted by the bureau. 1t shows the
population OF the western states has
not increased in recent years as rap
idly as in former decades. The south
ward ment is due largely to the
great increase In the population OF
Indian Territory, Oklahoma and Tex.
as, and the decreased westward move
ment as compared to the large in.
crease in the population of the North
Atlantic states. The center Of the
area Of the United States excluding
Alaska and Hawaii and other recent
acquisitions, is in northern Kansas.
The center of population, therefore, is
about threc-fourths of a degree south
and more than thirteen degrees east Of
the center of area.

WHERE COFFEE CAME FROM.
Legend Gives the Lethean Berry = no
mantle Origin and History.

OFtsih hnu "stopy
There Is extant a tale OF the discov-
cry OF coffee. a story which might have
suggested to Charles Lamb the idea
for his Dissertation on Roast Pig"
This Is the legend: Toward the mid
die Of the fifteenth century a poor Arab
was travelling in Abyssinia. and finding
himself weak and weary from fatigue
he stopped near a grove. Then, being
in want OF fuel to cook his rice, he cut
down a tree. which happened to be
full OF dead berries. His meal being
cooked and eaten, the traveller discov-
cred that the ~half-burned berries were
very fragrant. Collecting a number OF
these and crushing them with "A stone.
he found that their aroma had In
creased to a great extent. While won

the substance into a can which con-
tanned a scant supply of water. 10.
what a miracle! The almost putrid
liquid was instantly purified. He
brought 1t to his lips; 1t was fresh.
agreeable, and In a moment after the
traveller had so far recovered his
strength and energy as to be able to
resume his journey. The lucky Arab
gathered as many berries as he could.
and having arrived at Arden. in Ara
bia, he informed the multi of his dis
coyery. This worthy divine was an
inveterate opium smoker, who had
been suffering for years from the eff
fects OF that poisonous drug. He tried
an infusion of the roasted berries and
was so delighted at the recovery OF his
own vigor that, in gratitude to the
tree he called it cabuah, which in Ara
bic signifies force,-Chicago Chron-

IN THE CRESCENT CITY
New Orleans Ha. tirs, visit From a Pres
ident while In once.


,dent while In once
The presidential party travelled
across the cotton belt Wednesday from
Memphis almost to the gulf OF Next
60. Down the low.lying rich Naaoo
valley. fertile as that Of the Nile, 1t
went to Nicksburg, tecming with its
memories OF more than thirty years
ago. thence east to Jackson, the CAPT.
tai of Mississippi, aud from there down
into the land OF the magnolia and the
orauge to the old romantic city near
the mouth Of the Mississippi with its
traditions of French and Spanish rule.
As the sun was lowering the train
crossed the bayousa with their tanglcs
Of moss-covcred cypress and live oak
and, skirting lake Ponchartrain,
steamed into New Orleans. This is
the first time New Orleans has ever
had a visit from the chief magistrate
of the nation, aud it was a royal re-
ception which the old city extended to
President Mckinley.
Mr.. Mckinley himself has been at
New Orleans before. He made n nota-
bic speech the year preceding his NOM
ination for the presidency, and ex-
President Cleveland was there upon
one occasion during the interim be-
tween his two terms, but never before
has a president, while in Office, visited
the crescent city.
Thursday the party drove about the
city in the morning and in the after.
noon took a sail along the river front.
At o'clock the presidential special
will again resume its journey towards
