COLLECTORS WEAKNESS.
A Rich Man who Would Have No Re-
productions of Paintings
Owned by Him.

The attendants in the art gallery of
department store in Brooklyn were
startled the other day to see man
deliberately destroy two pictures that
he had just purchased at cost of
SAT, says the New York Press. The
man is wealthy and aims to have a
collection of art objects that have no
duplicates. He had purchased in the
art gallery that was the scene of his
vandalism q painting for which he
paid $1,000. After it was sent home
he was showing it to a friend. who,
knowing the collectors weakness, told
him he had seen two reproductions of
the painting in the same gallery, ors
priced $35. the other at $12.
$50 and buy them for me-" said the
collector, "and when you get them
break them up. I'll give you a check
for SAT before you go home"
The friend declined the task, SO the
collector went to the store himself,
pointed out the two pictures and after
he had paid for them destroyed them
on the spot.
The same man ordered table with
a carved top, for which he paid $500,
and after it had been finished he went
to the artist who had designed it and
stood by him while he destroyed the
original drawings for the table.
That was part of the contract and he
meant to see it carried out.

OF the term brain c!.ill" as applied
with intended derision to the populist
party, the New Era Standard, western
paper which is strong in the faith aud
valiant to the cause, has the following to
say ''Populism was and is child OF the
brain and heart 1t required gray matter
to make populism. The foremost think
ers of the age are driving their thoughts
along the lines of populism. The popu-
list program is the only way out of our
present industrial difficulties. Tom John
son, in Ohio, had to adopt populism to
score. Bird S. Coler and Dave Hill in
New York last year had to adopt our
ideas i'll order to place the Empire State
in the doubtful column. BY it, Mr..
Bryan has regenerated and rejuvenated
the democratic party. BY this brain
child Carter Harrison was reelected
mayor of Chicago. This brain child
has set the country agog on municipal
ownership This brain child has put the
republican party in peril. Shis brain
child offers today the only escape of the
people of this country from the rapacity
of the trusts. This brain child has a
spirit and it goes marching on. This
brain child has been industrious and
has sown seed that will grow harvests as
long as time lasts. God bless and nur-
ture this brain child for he is the fore
runner of all that is good in social organ
ization The people of this country will
long venerate this brain child for the
good that his young hands have done. 1t
is to these children of the brain that the
world owes its progress. May they live
long and prosper"

cries Made by Science.

Microbes snatch at us from around

Wood, in Everybody's. 1--WE can get
ON the good side OF a dog by patting
his head and we can please the cat

she doesn't scratch firsD. We can
tame other animals by giving them
food or by putting the weight of our

tail to wag and nothing to purr with,
how can we pet It? How can we,
without getting a crick in the neck,
stoop down far enough to say: "Pret-

Deathbed Thieves.

In France persons who live at the
expense of others have discovered a
novel and shameful method of thiev-
ing. They practice it only at funerals,
and hence they are known as death
bed thieves" When they read in a
newspaper that well-to-do person has
died, some of them go to the house
an hour or two before the funeral
takes place and coolly mingle with the
invited mourners. OF course the men,
bers of the family do not know them,
but they naturally assume either that
they were known to the deceased and
have come to pay their last respects
or that they were invited to be pres
ent by some aunts or cousins who are
unable to attend in person.

All those who availed themselves of the
Humans address and explanation of his
oyster and good roads bills, in the town
hall on Friday afternoon last, were read
lily impressed with the feasibility of the
plan embraced by these measures, and
the far reaching benefits to be derived.
A report of the meeting will be found on
the last page of this issue of the MIDLAND.
Mr.. Haman impressed every one with
his sincerity and honesty, his visit to
Cecil being much in the nature of mis-
sion of education along line which our
farmers and others have heretofore failed
to grasp as being of such vital Importance
to them, directly and indirectly. The
speaker was piled with numerous ques-
tons concerning the operation and details
of the measure which he has so long
striven to have enacted into law, and at
the conclusion of his talk the resolution
presented found hearty and unanimous
endorsement as expressing the sentiment
of those present.
The wasteful system of temporary tink-
ering at the roads, which has resulted in
the virtual squandering of thousands of
dollars with little lasting benefit, would
be supplanted through the enactment of
these bills into laws, by the annual dis
bursemeut of sums which would be APP
piled in manner that would eventually
result in good, permanent highways, and
at the same time revive the oyster in
dustry of the State by restocking the beds,
which are rapidly being depleted, and
some such protective and encouraging
legislation is enacted. The petitions
which are being circulated, should be
numerously signed and forwarded to our
representatives at Annapolis in order that
they may be acquainted with the senti-
ment of their constituents and use every
endeavor to secure the passage of these
bills.

Only Makes a Bad Matter Worse

Perhaps you have never thought of it
but the fact must be apparent to every
one that constipation is caused by lack
OF water IN the system, and the use of
drastic catharties like the old fashioned
pills only makes a bad matter worse.

On Tuesday, January 10, the Legisla-
ture will take its first vote for United
States Senator, and the indications at pres
ent are that it will require several ballots
before it is determined who will carry of
the plum. The first vote will be taken
separately by the Senate and House, and
in the event of the same person failing to
get majority of the ballots cast, the two
branches of the Legislature will meet in
Joint convention and take at least one
vote daily until choice is made.

The President, Attorney General and
politicians generally are deeply interest
ed in the case of Senator Charles E.
Dietrich, republican from Nebraska, who
has been indicted by the Omaha Grand
Jury on the charge of bribery and corrup-
ton with the appointment of Jacob
Fisher as postmaster of Hastings. The
Senator and his friends declare that the
charges are the result of political con-
spiracy, while others say that the inves-
tigation will bring forth many and serious
charges of bribery in the appointment of
Nebraska postmasters. The United
States District Attorney who had charge
of The case has been summoned to Wash
ngton, to give the President and the
Department of Justice full details as
to the charges made. The Senator has
been trying to have the district
attorney removed on the ground
that he permitted unjust charges
to be made, yet it has been shown that
this very attorney received reprinand
from Attorney General Knox for asking
if he should suppress charges i'll which
Senator Dietrich was involved.
From the information so far at hand it
seems that the Senator erected building
in Hastings and induced the Post Office
Department to transfer to it the local
office which was i'll a building owned
by branch of the Grand Army.
The Grand Army men owned the
fixtures in the office and regretted the
loss of the outlay they had made for them
The Senator had asked as rent for the
office, more than he finally agreed to
accept. A new postmaster was to be ap.
pointed and Fisher, it is said, received
preference over the other applicants for
the Senator's Endorsement, by agreeing
to buy the post office fixtures from
the Grand Army and to pay Senator
Dietrich the difference between what he
asked and what he received as rent.
Fisher got the appointment, and made
the payments for several months until
the Senator realized the irregularity of
the transaction and refunded the money.
Senator DISTRICT will waive the immunity
from arrest given him by the Constitution
and will return at once to Omaha for
trial.

The Cuban reciprocity bill passed the
House of Representatives by a vote of
335 to 81, and has been referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations in the
Senate.
In the House the debate lasted several
days, but as tie majority refused to allow
the democrats to submit aay amendments,
the speeches were principally denuncia-
tons of the tariff policy of the repub-
licans and of the refusal to grant larger
concessions to Cuba.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Secretary Hay has signed a canal
treaty with M. Varilla, the minister of
Panama, by which the United States
acquires absolute sovereignty over strip
of territory FIVE miles wide on each side
ofthe canal, the right to enforce sanitary
regulations and public peace in the cities
of Panama and Colon, possession of four
islands in the vicinity of the isthmus, and
the monopoly of any system of communi-
cation between the oceans either by canal
or railroad. In return our government
guarantees independence of the Republic
of Panama, pays that country $40, 600, 600
and beginning nine years from date Of
treaty, an annual rental of $3.50, 900.
The Panama commissioners arrived in
Washington several hours after the Hay
Bunau-Varilla treaty was signed by the
new minister. They expressed great
satisfaction at the terms of the treaty, and
one of them will carry the document to
Panama for ratification. 1t is thought
that the assent of Panama will be obtain
ed about Dec. 10, and the treaty will then
be sent to the Senate where it is sure to
be ratified. The republicans need two
democratic votes i'll order to get two
thirds majority to approve a treaty, but
in this case most of the democrats will
support the Administration. The posi-.
ton of the minority senators was express
sed by Senator Bacon of Georgia, who
said that although they opposed the haste
and disregard for international law, dis
played by the President in recognizing
Panama, they would not allow themselves
to be put on record as opponents of a
canal. The canal is much desired in the
Southern States and this accounts for
the attitude of many Southern Sena-
tors who would otherwise gladly oppose
the Administration.
The Panama government is about to be
recognized by the European powers al.
though they declare that the new republic
should assume an equitable portion OF
Colombia's debt, which amounts to about
SIS, 200, 900. Probably our government
will pay an indemnity to Colombia for
the loss of the isthmus
With the ratification of the new treaty
Panama will become practically part Of
the possessions of the United States. The
right to police the cities and to dictate
sanitary laws gives us virtual control Of
Colon and Panama, and we shall doubt
less make use of out right 10 fortify the
canal.
