ya4REs PUBLIC SCHOOLS HONORS.
Excellent Geographical Exhibit at
Parts Largely Due to
Union Pacific.

The Passenger Department of the Union
Pacific Railway is in receipt of letter from
Superintendent c. G. Pearse inviting 1t to
Omaha public schools at the Paris exposl-
ton. AS is well known, the Omaha schools
were awarded a gold medal for the excel
ience of the showing made by their methods
of teaching geography. The most important
part of the exhibit consisted Of a set of il
Illustrated publications and maps showing
the sources from which geographical ma
serial and information are obtained. Su-
perintendent Pearse acknowledges that
great credit is due to the Union Pacific Pas
senger Department, which furnished many
of the publications and maps for the Paris
exhibit.-Omaha Bee" Dec. llth, 1900.

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, Of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date Of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter Of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating woman's peculiar monthly
troubles.

The speech of Senator Towne dellV-

grandest that has ever been heard in

the Philippine question as only a pa

every citizen could read it. In MS
concluding remarks he referred TO a
letter written from the .'unblessed
fields of South Africa" by a British
officer, who in that letter says: ''Years
of civilization and peace teach men to
respect the lives and property OF 9th
ers. but a few months of war seem to
scrape of this veneer of virtue and re-
turn them to their primitive savagery.'
With this as his text, Senator Towne

the facts In the ease of 6. T. Rice, the
American editor who was banished from
the Philippines for commenting upon
the rules and regulations concerning
pilots and pllotage. as enforced at Ma
Mia. Mr.. Teller read the editorial and
then said. The deportation of an
editor is not a simple matter, to be
whistled down with the wind. 1 re-
gard it as q grievous offence against
the liberty of an American citizen that
he can be taken. thrown into jail, and
then deported under the pretense oil
the charge that he is a dangerous in-
cendiary and a menace to the military
situation. There is no such ofense
