The advantages will be distinct all

"In the first place." states a Washing

In the second place, every car Ill the
United States would have placed upon 1t the
magic letters and the words, ~ 5. Mail.
Cars carrying signs like that may not be
stopped without serious trouble Tor those
who cause the stoppage. Strikes would
therefore be almost impossible. Even if
thew were declared, the whole power OF the
United States could be invoked to cause the
cars to be moved.
According to the parallel drawn here
recently by Hon. B. A. Richmond and
applauded by the Cumberland Ne"S, be-
tween the Cleveland and Roosevelt
methods of SETTLING strikes it would
be wicked, if not wrong, to invoke any
part of "the whole power of the United
States to cause the cars to be moved.
The way to do that now is-appoint a
commission to get at the truth; then
allow professional cross-examincrs free
swing to bring out everything c,rc"W the
truth, and finally decide that labor
unionism is the one paramount, pre-
eminent thing of all creation, ancient
and modern, that must be recognized
only as though it does not exist.
There is not much philosophy i'll this
method, but who cares for philosophy
when fallacy, imperiously spoken,
saves the party by fooling the people:

From the Daily Record a Baltimore

article from case and Comment entitled
Seeking for Just Rule of Assess

Though not along the line of the
JOURNALS contentious, the tenor and
effect of the article are the same.
To find the actual benefit conferred
upon a private property by public inn
provement and assess it accordingly is
sound in principle but so difficult in
practice as to make it unavailable.
At last, therefore, it is better to load

HUMBOLDT. Neb.. May 27.-(special.)-
Considerable excitement has prevailed in
this section this morning over the mys-
terious disappearance Of the wife Of Thomas
Maxwell, & farmer living a short distance
southeast Of the city.
Ofhcers in the surrounding towns were
notified to keep a watch for her and a
searching party was at once formed in
the neighborhood to seek through the i'm
mediate vicinity and drag the streams.
The searching party at 3 o'clock found
the body Of Mrs. Maxwell in the Nemaha
river about half a mile below where she
entered the water. The appearance Of the
body indicated that the woman had drank
earbolie acid before throwing herself in
the stream. The husband OF the dead
woman was much affected at the time OF
the finding Of the body and was with difi-
Guilty restrained from leaping into the
water and taking his own life.
The woman has been in poor health for
the last year and during the last six weeks
her illness seemed to prey. upon her mind
to such an extent as to cause her husband
and friends much uneasiness. From her
actions her husband thought 1t unsafe to
leave her alone and has therefore been
With her constantly.

morning he dozed of for a short time and

Of the house and premises failed to reveal
a trace Of the missing woman and the fact
that she had taken but few clothes and
was apparently in possession of a bottle
of carbolic acid, which was gone from the
shelf, caused much fear for her safety.
About noon a portion of her clothing was
found on the bank Of the Nemaha, near the
Skalak bridge. and to the wearing appare.
was pinned a note in which she babe goodby
