NEEDS THE MONEY.
Prussian Ministry Inyites subscrfp-

th0n4 L0 Loans
 Berlin. Jan. 4s--The Prussian minis try of finance announces that on Jam uary IA. 1t will invite subscriptions to a new loan.
 The amount has not yet been speci- lied. but 1t is assumed that it will be in the neigh borhood of $50 900 .000 The subscription price will be 9S 1-2. In- terest for the first ten years will be at the rate of 4 per cent; for the next five years 3-4 per cent: and thereaf- ter 8 1-2 per cent.
 The government. for the protection of the money market will issue only allotment certificates. which will not be negotiable, untll after December 31. 1908. M
 This announcement caused Prussian consols to sag on the Bourse today and drop i l-2 points. and 1t created gem eral dissatisfaction in financial circles because the present time is not re- garded as opportune for the govern ment to make demands on the market
 The Prussian minsitry of finance doubtless understands this clearly, but 1t is impelled to seek this loan because of pressing requirements on account of additions to the existing requirement., the purchase of lands In Poland for purposes of settlement and other less urgent needs.
 Railroad experts estimate that $150,- 000.000 might be expended for railroad equipment, but the government prob- ably will be able to do with quarter of this sum. H

BRINGS NEWS OF
 UPRISING IN CHINA

San Francisco, Cal. Jan. 4.--C. Pol hill, an English missionary who has spent twenty years in China and who arrived yesterday on the liner Nippon Maru, says that shortly before he left his station at Kai Tsien, in the prov ince of Szchuan, place about 1.500 miles from Shanghai, the boxers had caused considerable alarm to the for eign residents.
 The imposition of heavy school tax and heavier tax on opium had aroused the boxers to anger and start ed them on a wrecking rampage. No lives were lost in the outbreak but five buildings belonging to the Prot estant and Catholic missions were de- stroyed before the authorities suc- ceeded in duelling the riots.
 Polhill Is on his way to London He expects trouble all over China in a few months.

successful in eheir efforts. They have succeeded in electtng honest men to office, and they have succeeded In forcing through the legisiature . rather complete program of reform.
 It is this Its of newspapers which now forms the nucleus of the La Fol lette organization In Nebraska N Nebraska Newspaper Comment.
 These Republicans do not purpose to be bound by the declaration of a platform convention which six months ago attempted. without authority, to commit the Republican party of this state to Taft. The following quota ton from an editorial in The Brad shaw Republican. one of the news papers in the organization. expresses the general sentiment of the progress sive Republicans in Nebraska on the presidential situation. @
 Now that President Roosevelt has issued his ultimatum. and the foolish ness of runrihg him against his will is knocked out, the fight will center on Governor Hughes of New York and Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin. Some may ask. What are we going to do with Taft? Nothing whatever.
 We are not going to allow the fool ishness exhibited by a certain Republi- can delegate platform convention which went beyond it's authority, and acted entirely outside of its business when 1t declared for Taft--to drop us clear out of sight. Taft is no safer man for the people who are in favor of reform to vote for than is Foraker or any one else on whom the money powers have placed the ponderous ha nds."
 Puts La Foliete First.
 The Newman Grove Reporter has this to say:
 Among the candidates already in training for the Presidential nomina- tion there are three acceptable to the people of the Mississippi ranges La Toilette. Hughes and Taft. The rest of the bunch are most emphatical- ly persona non grata. Don't forget the order. There may be a question of precedence between the last two but the first one Is surely in the right place. We are very rapidly getting over the idea that we have to rely on the east for our financial wisdom. How long must we believe that all financial and political knowledge must be close to the Atlantic? La Toilette is the man who is entitled to the Pres idential electors from the State of Nebraska"
 The editor of The De Wit Times News. who is something of a politician, said in recent issue: "If the Repub- lican of this Congressional district send this editor as a delegate to the convention he will do his darndest to nominate La Toilette for the Presi- dency."
 The Bristow Enterprise says: "The Republican nomination now seems to lay between La Toilette and-Taft, with the former somewhat in the lead. In our humble opinion,A Senator La Fol lette would be a second Roosevelt"
 These are only little paragraphs talk : en at random from the editorial col umns of the papers throughout the State. and yet similar expressions might be taken from the editorial col umns of upward of 160 newspapers in Nahra sIra

The 1ioness, however. fought shy of the keepers and all ef- forts to remove the bone were for the time being unsuccessful
 Snyder then opened the cage of the animal and. entering, petted her until he had gained her. confidence. Then, taking a short. sharp hook, he thrust it into the mouth ofSthe lioness and. securing a hold on the bone. jerked 1t out.
 The bone was three inches in length. and in removing 1t the mouth and throat of the animal were torn. The lioness was frantic. but soon became tracticable, and with the exception of the decorations was all right. If the bone had remained in her throat much longer, the keeper said, she would have choked to death.
