GRATIFYING.

Last month was the first month Of
the third year of the Journals ex-
istence under the present management.
1t is interesting as we'll as gratifying
to compare the April advertising and
circulation of this year with the same
months business of the previous years.
Compared with April 1904, tn, Jour.
nrl's circulation last month was three
and q half times as large and the
advertising accounts three and one
fourth times as large. Compared with
April 1905, the Journals circulation
had increased 333 per cent and its
advertining accounts show a gain Of
Is per cent over the combined daily
and weekly advertising for April 1905
This result should be gratifying to
Journal advertisers, for it shows that
the Journals circulation has increased
more than have the charges for ad-
vertising and that Journal advertis-
ing, considering circulation is cheaper
today than ever.
And indeed the Journals growth
and increasing patronage from Colum-
bus business men are due almost en-
tirely to our constant effort to make
the Journal the largest advertising
medium in the county.
The Journal has never tried to use
a political club to secure business nor
has it ever used the power that every
paper has to injure those few mer-
chants who have seen fit to Withhold
advertising contracts. We have tried
to build up an advertising medium

refuses to advertise on personal
grounds, Furnishes himself by a loss of
trade through his failure to reach the
buying public.
As a whole, the business men of
Columbus have been liberal toward
the Journal, many who differ the most
widely politically being among u
best patrons. During the next year
the Journal has plans for building a
circulation of $500. The business
men of this city have already shown
that they are mindful of tho Journals
valuable service to them in reducing
the number of English papers from
four to two in the last two years.
All that we ask of them in the future
is a continuation of the same square
deal while we are making the Journal
still more valuable advertising me-
dunn for them.

Those who are interested in the
schools and churches of Platte county
will find very interesting reading this
week in the columns of Platte county
history. The first Columbus school
house was built of logs. Later it was
bought by c. A. Speice for $50 and
used for fire wood. And the present
churches developed from a Sunday
school conducted in the old town hall.
The story is interesting and whole

A Columbus man has estimated
that if the people throughout the Uni
ted States had donated -four to the
San Francisco sufferers as literally as
did the citizens of Columbus, one bill
lion pounds of -four would have been
donated. This amount divided equal
ly among the families of the United
States, counting five persons to a
family, would give every family a
little over a fifty pound sack.

FREAKS OF THE IMAGINATION

1t is strange, the stunts q mans
Inauguration will work with history,
when he becomes a mad aspiraut fol
an impossible Office.
Last week the editor of the Tele'
gram devoted an editorial to the Ne
braska bankers in which he pictured
them falling over themselves to get
into tho democratic mule cart to avoid
the impending financial crash which
he says is to start in that city made
notorious by democratic Tammany.
He refers to the present banking
system as wild cat" banking, appar-
emily forgetfal of history which rec
ords that wild cat" banking went out
of style with the old democratic wild
cat state bank which was the child
of Jacksonian democracy.
He condemns the "clearing house
certificate" forgetfll of the fact that
it was the use of the clearing house
certificate" that carried the nation
over a financial panic resulting from
democraeic tariff tinkering and mis-
management.
Asset currency" is called a repu-
blican idea and a "John Law system
of finance" In this also the Tele-
gram editors imagination violates
history. Asset banking is no more a
party question than is the controversy
as to the relative merits of the cash
and credit systems of conducting a
retail business. Asset banking has
worked successfully in several states,
in Canada and elsewhere. Its advo-
Gates are bankers, some ofthem demo-
Gratis, some republicans. The system
is urged bv its friends as better adapt
ed to the creation of an elastic cur
rency than tho present system and it
is recommended as a solution of the
embarrassment in which bankers will
find themselves when the national
debt is paid, if it should be, and they
can buy no government bonds as a
basis for bank-note circulation.
John Law played poker and if he
had lived about two hundred years
later he would have been a modern
Bull on the Board of Trade. That
was Why he founded the mississippi
scheme" aad wrecked the hank Of
France. The same kind of men wreck
banks today, although We have profit
ed by the experience of the Duke-re-
gent of Louis XIV, and we do not
place men who like to toy with the
lcards in positions of financial respon-
sibility.
Bank failures today are almost
without exception, traceable to mo-
dern John Laws. The John Law
banking system however. died with
the democratic wild cat banks and we
will never have another "green back
er" partv to help resurrect them.
The Nebraska bankers r opposed
to the John Law manipulators on
Wall street, whose chief business it is
to initiate prices and unload worthless
securities. Most of them too, per-
haps,a are opposed to . change to the
asset" system of banking hut no
banker who is familiar with the al
phabet of financial history would
charge that asset banking" and wild
cat banking" are synonymous.
The democratic party in this
state has played the open and shut
game successfully in many instances.
1t has played for the saloon vote and
the prohibition vote and got them. 1t
has played for the railroad vote and
the anti abroad vote, just as it is do
ing today, and got them. But for the

Walking to Health.

When there is no organic weakness
which is aggravated by the eXertion it
is the easiest and pleasantest thing to
walk right into health. OF course there
is no virtue in a dawdling walk. The
slow and languid dragging of one foot
after the other, which some people cali
walking. would tire an athlete; it ut
terly eXhaGsts Il weak person, and that
is the reason why many delicate peo-
pie think they cannot walk. To de-
rive any benefit from the exercise it is
necessary to walk with light, elastic
step, which swings the weight of the
body so easily from one leg to the 9th
er that its weight is not felt and which
produces a healthy glow, showing that
the sluggish blood is stirred to action
in the most remote veins. This sort
of walking eXhlarates the whole body,
gives tone to the nerves and produces
just that sort of healthful fatigue
which encourages sound, restful sleep.

The best treatment for indigestion
and troubles of the stomach is to rest
the stomach. 1t can be rested by star
walton or by the use of good digestant
which will digest the food eaten, thus
taking the work off the stomach. At
the proper temperature single tea
spoonful of Kodol will wholly digest
5000 grains of food. 1t relieves the
present annoyance, puts the stomach
in shape to satisfactorily perform its
functions. Good for indigestion, sour
stomach, flatulence, palpitation of the
heart and dyspepsia. Kodol is made
in strict conformity with the National
Pure Food and Drug Law. Sold by

The Word "CranIx."

Crank in the sense of an eccentric
person is a new word. The very first
written instance of crank in the mod
ern sense that could be found for DIR.
Murray's dictionary was in the reports
Of the trial of Guiteau, President Gar
fields, murderer. Guiteau's reference
to somebody as crank gave the word
a vogue that has gone on spreading.
But the adjective cranky was known
in 1887 as meaning sickly (the German
''krank'), and to Dickens in the senses
Of cross and crochety In all its mean
ings it springs from the root idea of
crookedness. as does crank in its six
teenth century sense of deceitfui
trick, as in "quips and cranks."

The History of Tacitus.

The entire history of Tacitus, as we
have the work, was regained from a
single copy found in the fifteenth ecu
fury in a monastery of Westphalia.
That we should owe the works of this
author to one copy is remarkable cir
cumstance, for the Emperor Tacitus,
who claimed to be a descendant of the
historian, had copies of the history
placed in every library of the empire
and each year had ten copies TRANSCRIPT
ed for presentation to scholars. All, ii
seems, persisted, save the Westphalian
copy.

DETERMINING LEVELS.
ks:hOd by which Every Man May he
His own Surveyor.

4 simple way of roughly determin-
ing levels. and one which can readily
be practiced by any <ne and which has
the advantage of MOI requiring any
special apparatus, is by means of a
spirit level and a board with a straight
edge The way to go about it is this:
First determine on two points the lev
els of which you wish to know and
drive stakes into the ground. Then
take board with straight edge and
tack it to q tree, if one happens to be
available, in a line with these two
stakes. Put the board at. such a height
that you can readily sight over it and
carefully level this board by means of
the spirit level. Then sight it over to-
ward one of the stakes having some
one at that stake who will, by means
of small piece of paper, locate the
point at which your line of vision cuts
tin other words, where a line pro-
jected from your sighting board would
strike the stake. Make some sort of
mark at this point and then sight to
the other stake in the same way and
mark the point where the line would
strike 1t. BY measuring distances that
these two points are above the ground
you can get the difference in levels
with reasonable accuracy. For in
stance, if your line of vision has cut
one stake eight feet from the ground
and the other one five feet from the
ground, then obviously the difference
In level is three feet, or, in other words,
the vicinity of the stake on which the
mark is five feet from the ground is
three feet higher than the other stake
and you will have a three foot fall
from draining from this point to the
Other.-Farming.
