trial Iowa Also Suffered From
Torrcntial Rains.

Beatrice, Neb., June 7.-Reports re-
ceived from Cortland, the scene of
Thursdays cloudburst, indicate a
more serious condition than at first
reported. A foot of water fell in
three hours. The rain fell in binding
sheets, and for two hours it was m
possible to see objects so feet away.
The streets in the towns of Cort-
land, Princeton and Pickrell were I'M
able to carry away the immense vol
ume of water and easements OF
dwellings and stores were flooded, do
ing a great amount of damage. Crops
in a great many places are a total
loss, being entirely washed away.
Creeks and other streams became
raging torrents, and a number OF
people on lowlands were compelled to
remove to places of safety. The Wa
ter ran over the Union Pacific tracks
between Pickrell and Cortland to a
depth of two feet in some places and
washed out a number of bridges and
culyerts. Several trains were held
until Friday morning waiting for the
water to subside and for washed-out
tracks to be repaired. Large gangs
of men are working on the tracks
and telegraph and telephone lines.

Read it in His Newspaper.

George Schaub, we'll known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is con-
slant reader of the Dayton VOkkszeitung
He knows that this paper aims to adver.
tise only the best in its columns, and when
he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm adver-
tised therein for lame bac,, he did not
hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his
wife, who for eight weeks had suffered
with the most terrible pains in her back
and could get no relief. He says; "After
using the Pain Balm for few days my
wife said to ME, i feel as though born
anew and before using the entire con.
tents of the botte the almost unbear,
able pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household
duties" He is very thankful and hopes
that all suffering likewise will hear Of
her wonderful recovery. This valuable
liniment is for sale by f. T. Reynolds. !

The Coal Strike.

The strike in the anthracite region oil
Pennsylvania is assuming serious proper
tons. The joining Of the pumpmen with
the striking miners puts in jeopardy mil
lions of dollars worth of mining property
which will be damaged by the flooding OF
the mines by water, should the pumps
remain idle. A further move has been
made by the mine workers union by the
of the West Virginia bituminous fields, 10
strike, to go into effect on Monday, which
should it be obeyed, would be far-reach-
ing in its consequences, and i'll all prob
ability cause coal famine in the East,
and the shutting down of numerous large
concerns, as several of these have SUBJ
stituted bituminous coal in operating
their plants, owing to the difficulty in
securing anthracite during the strike.
The present conflict between organized
labor and entrenched capital threatens to
paralyze the business interests of the
country should settlement of differences
be not brought about at an early date, as
hardly seems likely at present, and the
public at large is compelled to suffer in
convenience aud loss without being able
to lift a hand to protect itself.
The economic aud industrial conditions
which cause such frequent clashes be-
tween capital and labor are the outgrowth
of vicious forms of government which
permit the existence of such powerful
combinations of capital, controlled by a
few unprincipled men, whose narrow and
grasping methods of dealing with those
in their employ, grinding them down to
the verge of servitude, leads to the organ
ization of labor for the protection of its
own interests, and consequent friction
between the two, eliminating in strikes,
lock outs, riots and bloodshed, which are
daily recorded in the newspapers through
out the land.
So long as these gigantic corporations
are permitted to conduct their affairs
without the restraining influence of gov
ernment supervision, just so long may
present conditions be expected to con-
time and gradually grow worse.
The New York Board of Trade and
Transportation has made move in the
matter by calling upon President Roose-
welt to take action in the coal miners
strike, either through arbitration or by an
Investigation of the dispute, and while
little may be expected from the head of a
party which owes its present position in
power to votes controlled by these power
full combinations of capital, in the way OF
restraint to their operations, yet is it a
suggestion that may bear fruit, pointing
as it does towards government interven,
ton and adjustment in such industrial
disputes

Trust Greed,

All exchange in discussing the methods
of the trusts, whose every move is actu-
ated by greed, shows how they prevent
progress in lines Of business in which
they operate, where the adoption of new
and better ideas would mean an outlay of
considerable sum, thereby cutting down
profits more or less and preventing the
payment of the usual large dividends on
watered stock. The following is an ex-
tract: MANY examples could be given OF
the suppression of initiative and enter
prise by the great corporations of the day
One huge consolidation has quietly
thrown aside plan to reduce The cost OF
electricity simply because old plants were
given an artificial value and could not be
disturbed or suffer the loss of their bus
mess by competitive method Another
great monopoly has bought up useful
patents and pigeon holed them simply
because it is not willing to incur the in
itial expense and labor of putting them
into operation"

An Appeal For Justice and Caution

Communicated.
| The arrest of an individual on road of crime
whether it be by due process OF law, or if the en-
vironments of the case make it more eXpedient
and successful by moral persuasion will always
prove for the individual itself of great benefit and
also for such part of any community affected by
some unlawful act. The writer has thought it
timely while the fruits of labor are about to be
enjoyed by such as have been diligent in their
| affairs working with a prospect to have some
benefit of the care and labor bestowed on their
properties, which yield to such an extent as to
perhaps satisfy It's owners, to call the attention of
parents and others, who have the care of some
who if not otherwise employed will trespass and
perhaps prey upon the properties of Others it
may be out of ignorance, for want of instruction
or for the purpose to crafty their selfish tastes
it may be with the connivance of their elders for
the benefit of the latter perhaps, under the mis-.
taken idea that the trouble and difficulty of de
lection and punishment is sufficient shield for
the crime.
To bring case home and more to the point, we
will take for instance, that on going to any of
our private apartments we unexpectedly confront
person, stranger perhaps, or one whose pres
ence issout of place, what other feelings but Just
ones would prompt us to eject the trespasser and
prevent repetition of such an intrusion: and
when one is found in such an undesirable position
with clear intent to larceny or appropriatng to
his own use the fruit of our toll having for each
concerned a certain value should we not for such
an one exert a just punishment?
The Moral Law given by the Supreme Being to
people whom He has chosen and willing to
support them in their right place under it.,
exacts restitution fourfold from such trans
gressor and it has been the observation of such
who become acquainted with the facts that turn
of events in such case have always proved true
Where then does the profit or may we say ben
eft come to such either as individuals for them
selves or i'll behalf of others of their connections?
When trespassing upon such who have the means
to spare certain amount of their products a
permission would be most cheerfully given by
most people; the act even from such remains
the same, namely: taking without leave, which is
only milder form of expression for theft. Is it
not more profitable to make a fair exchange and
act fair and honest. than in the way of fourfold
for whatever may be gotten in a questionable
manner?
Would caretakers of the young exercise the
needed care and attend to the proper instruction
in regard to this important Moral Law and duty,
unlawful acts, better termed criminal, as treated
herewith, would not be known in this community.

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescription
of DR.. A. Boschee, celebrated German
Physician, and is acknowledged to be one
of the most fortunate discoveries in Med
icine. 1t quickly cures coughs, colds and
all lung troubles of the severest nature,
removing, as it does, the cause of the
affection and leaving the parts in strong
and healthy condition. 1t is not an ex-
perimental medicine, but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in every
case, which its rapidly increasing sale
every season confirms. Two million bot
ties sold annually. Boschee's German
Syrup was introduced in the United States
in 1868, and is now sold in every town
and village in the civilized world. Three
doses will relieve any ordinary cough.

The BOer War Ended.

Peace negotiations between Great Brit.
ain and the South African republics,
which had been pending since early in
March last, were concluded on Saturday,
and by them the British Boer war has been
ended, after hostilities had been waged
between these two unequal foes for a
period of more than two years and
a-half, the Beers finally surrendering
after one of the most heroic fights record
ed in history; wringing from their power
full antagonist by their stubborn and pro-
longed resistance, better terms for them
selves than demanded year ago. These
terms iusure them amnesty; return of
prisoners; their own language in schools;
retention of weapons; participation in
civic government; freedom from taxation
to pay war expenses; rebuilding of homes
and restocking of farms at British ex-
pense, Great Britain agreeing to appro-
pirate SIS, 900 TO assist in restoring
their homes, in supplying them with food
and with seed aud implements for the
resumption of farming; payment of war
notes issued by the Boer Government ND
TO the time of its abandonment of the
Transvaal capital, and immediate pecun-
larry aid for all who are impoverished,
exiled or distressed, the British Govern
ment advancing loan in aid of the Beers
without interest.
Great Britain's war of greed for the
possession of rich territory aud the sub
lection of free people has been a dear
one to her in the loss of lives and treas
IRE, and has brought upon her the just
condemnation of all the nations of the
world. Her victory is triumph of brute
force and not one of skill at warfare.
Two little republics have been wiped from
the map but 1t has been at a price which
will be a burden of taxation to the
nations posterity. Her new colonies
have cost her ~ 900 lives, and three times
that number invaded home, and over
81, ooo, 900 900 in treasure.
The Beers proved themselves valiant
fighters and more than the equals of their
British foe, man for man, whose sheer
weight of numbers finally overwhelmed
and crushed them. Their superb strategy
and indomitable courage won for them
victory after victory and stripped from
more than one British general laurels won
on other fields of conflict. Two com.
mandersin chief of the British army saf
fered the loss of their popularity and rep
utations-General Butler and Lord Rob
erts-and it remained for Lord Kitchener
by his stubborn and relentless persistence
to save the honor of British arms by fore
ing the surrender of the sturdy Dutch
fighters.

One of the army of school teachers who
left the United States for the Philippines,
to help instruct the young idea Of
those tropical isles, contributes all in
teresting letter to one of the home jour
nails which shows the political jobbery
which has permeated the educational
movement, as we'll as all else connected
with the development of Uncle Sans ex-
pensive new possessions. The writer
states that of the $4,000 spent for books
for the schools in the islands by the
United States, fully 500, 900 of the
amount was virtually thrown away, in
order that those who had the pull might
profit by the sale of books which are OF
no practical use in the islands. The in
structor says: Owe have here histories
that no child in my school will be able to
understand in five years, Biographies that
dismiss the Philippine islands in two
sentences and arithmetics that no child
will be able to work with until he has
had at least two years training in Eng
lish. This might be forgiven and attrib
uted to the ignorance of the needs when
first sending out books were it not that
only recently we have received another
installment equally valueless.'
The people become more and more
disguised with the whole Philippine bus
mess as the facts concerning the true
conditions in the islands crop out by de
grees, and show clearly the real motive o
those who engineered the scheme for the
acquisition of the archipelago by thu
United States, was one of exploitation.
