EUROPEAN POWER SHIFTING.

Boston TraVeler.
 The turning over of the control of the Austro- Hungarian Empire to Arch duke Franz Ferdinand is an event of worldwide importance, and especially in the United States. which in recent years has received so many of the rad ical elements which go to make up the population of the realm of the flaps burgs.
 The important result expected to come eventually from Franz Ferdi- nand's rise to power will be the shift ing of control of the government from the Germans and MagyarS to the Slavs who have been growing much faster fin the Austro~Hungarian empire than either the Magyars or the Germans.
 Of the 45,000,000 people in Austria Hungary there are 11,000, ,Oe0 Germans, s,000.00O Magyars, S.50o.000 Roumani- ans and others. and about 22.000, 900 Slavs. Adding to thIs number of Slays the 100000 just secured by the addi- ton of Bosnia and HerzeEovina, the first fruit of Franz Ferdinand's com ing to power, the Slavs have an abso- lute majority in the population of the dual kingdom, and in Austria have 6 majority of two to one.
 Before Franz Ferdinand achieves his ambition ro add the fifth crown to Austria, consisting of a reconstructed Servia. with 1O,000,000 Slavs scattered under four flags. to get an open port on the Aegean Sea, and conquer the submission of the Turk. much water will flow under the bridges. but he has ambition and is content to wait. two important qualities In a monarch. At any rate, there is always likely to be In future more interest in Austro- Hungarian affairs than there has been duEigg the iSst geneEaAen.

A Little on the side.s

FroVldence Journal.
 Here we find the cancer that has long been eating it's way into our American ssytem of Government. Tho doctrine has been widely promulgated to- make little on the side" To the surface mc~alist it may appear de- fensible; but the moment it is thought. fully considered it is seen, of course. to be absolutely without palliation. To rob the public is as bad as 1t Is to rob an individual. To allow any other con- sideration than that of equal-handed justice to enter into a municipal trans action is as reprehensible as to be. tray a private trust. It is high time for the American people to learn this lesson and take it to heart. Then we shall have less cause to Krieve over such reports as those that are now coming from Pittsburg.

Cholera Morbus Epidemic Grows.


Ten more cases OF cnoiera morbus
and cholera infantum have been re-
ported and physicians here declare the
disease is spreading rapidly. A light
epidemic was reported last week, but
now it is said the situation is becom-
ing grave, one physician having as
many as twelve cases.
Although the disease Is caused by
the warm weather and the infection of
food, the change from the hot weather
to the colder wave is said to have laid
many low. Some cases have been
found where hemorrhagic signs are
found and others have slight touches
of dysentery. The fruit season also
brings this about and children should
be kept from eating green apples or
drinking too much cold water.
AT Benedict, Neb., there is an cpl
demic of spinal meningitis and that
town is much alarmed over the situa
ton. There has already been one
death from this disease at that place
which occurred Wednesday when Lynn
Garfield, aged 10 years, succumbed.
There are three other cases report
ed in the same neighborhood. A physi
clan quarantined the family of ]. c
White. Harry Bechint is also report
ed i'll with the same disease. OtheI
cases are also reported. Care is be
ing taken that the epidemic does no
spread. Threshing has been stopped
in that neighborhood.

citizens managed to round up the trio
OF crooks and placed them in jail. 1t
is thought they were the same parties
who were seen prowling about the
rear OF the building about 2 o'clock in
the morning and perhaps had been un'
able to find a way of getting into the
store. When captured the fellows
seemed to take the matter very coolly
and did not make any effort to get
away. From their appearance they
are not new hands at the business, but
no doubt the reason for not playing
their trick smoothly enough was the
fact that they had large supply OF
liquor with them.

HEALTH ASSOCIATION RESENTS
Say Epworth League Branded Assoeia.
ton as Grafters.

The Nebraska State Health associa.
ton does not relish the treatment 1t
received at Lincoln by the Epworth
league assembly this week. 1t was re-
fused permission to present any of its
papers on general sanitation at the
assembly grounds, and was denounced
by one of the representatives OF the
Epworth league as body of grafters.
The health association is made up
principally of leading physicians of
the state 1t held it's annual meeting
at the capital city, and arranged for
the Wednesday afternoon meeting to
be held at the assembly grounds.
Three papers were reserved for that
meeting, as it was thought they would
do the most good by presentation be-
fore a general audience at the assem-
bly,.
These papers were as follows: "The
Danger of Disease Dissemination by
Railroads" by DR.. j. II. Mackay; cal
cohol as a Cause of Disease" by DR..
A. l.. Muirhead, and Army Sanitary
Administration in the United States
and the Philippines" by Colonel j. M
Banister, chief surgeon of the Depart
ment of the Missouri.
The health association was denied
the privilege of distributing its pro
gram on the grounds. What was back
of the refusal the doctors do not know
They are naturally incensed over the
treatment received, and resent the
charge that they are grafters. at i:
our belief" said one of the medica
gentlemen, chat we could do no great
err public good than to inform the peo
pie about general sanitation, and |
was nothing less than a gross insul
to have our association branded as i
was by the spokesman for the Epwortl
, league"
