Steam coal in Omaha Is going up in price
because Of the labor troubles at the mines
steam coal has been quite errato all winter
and has varied in price from 800 to n.75
q ton and at one time was a. high as 800
q ton at the mines There is plenty on hand
at present as most Of the heavy users filled
their bins in anticipation OF a railroad
strike. Little coal is being shipped from
the mines at present and what there is Is
being taken by the railroads for their own

demand at present is lighter than It has
been all winter and there Is plenty In

The Boy Question.

The worst habit that boys can
fall into is that of loafng around
on the streets at night. 1t is
then they cast their lot in slip
perry places when at any moment
they are likely to fall from grace.
All good and noble lessons taught
them by their mothers are null
flied. They learn nothing that
is good, but everything bad.
The boys who spend their eve
nings in the sacred precincts of
home with good books for their
companions, are the future hope
of this republic. They will fill
our legislative and congressional
halls, and sit in judgment upon
men and measures, while the
boys who run the streets will fill
our penitentiaries, almshouses
and lunatic asylums. Parents
who are responsible for these
broken laws of decency will have
broken hearts. and bowed down
heads in the awakening years
that will inevitably follow.

Republican Troubles.

As The News foreshadowed
some time ago Senator Bradley
will have to be reckoned with be-
fore Judge O'Rear is nominated
by the Republicans for Cover
nor. Confrmatory to this opin-
ion is the appointment of Lewis
l.. Walker as Circuit Judge to,
succeed the late Judge SaufeyI
by Adting Gov. Cox. Walker ia
from Garrard county and wasra
former law partner of Senator
Bradley's. His appointment was
doubtless at the suggestion of
the Senator and made in the in
terest of Lieut.. Gov. Cox, who
will likely oppose Judge O'Rear
for the Gubernatoriol nomina-
ton. Here is what State Audi
tor James says about the ap-
pointment:
THE appointment pleases the
whiskey ring" ''and it shows
Cox's position in the future" in
my judgment. Cox told me that
he would not make the appoint
ment, but would let Governor
Wilson appoint. Cox read me a
letter to-day giving him infor-
nation that Taft had refused to
appoint Walker as United States
District Attorney. After that |
told Cox and he appointed Wal
ker, l say he is not fit to be Gov
ernor, and although | told him

power to beat the man who, u
think, has played selfish politics
at the expense of the party and
the people of the State. =

James Scores Wilson.

A dispatch from Frankfort
says that State Auditor Frank P.
James has received many letters
from Republicans in the Eighth
Congressional District, congrat-
ulating him on the plain, I'M
vanished interview which he
gave regarding the appointment
of Judge Lewis Walker by act
ing Governor Cox. James does
not expect ever to run for Office
again, although he would serve
his party if handed something
good on the silver waiter. He
declares, however, that there
was no politics in the statement,
and that it panied him to make
it for he had the pledge of Act
ing Governor Cox, but he says
that he could not do so now, and
does not want to take back any,
thing he said. Jane says, too,
that any attempt on the part of
the whisky ring" to gain as
tendency n Republican ranks
will split the party. He is the
leader on the temperance side.
He says that Wilson has done
the party a great harm in play
ing both the whisky and the
temperance factions, and that it
is not too late for the Republi-
can party in this State to carry
out the platform pledges, and
that it should do so before the
administration comes to a close.

A New Danger in False Hair.

A few days ago, a young lady
in Richmond, Va, while resting
in a hammock in her garden
took a ''rat" out of her hair in
order to cool and rest her head.
She laid it carelessly down be-
side Ter, and thought no more
about it. The next day she felt
strange pains in her head. They
grew so severe that she was COM
PEELED to leave her place of en-
ployment and go home. She
took down her hair and found
great swollen places on her scalp.
Her mother, who was trying to
assist her in easing her pain,
happened to pick up the rat"
the girl had just removed, and
feeling something hard in it, she
began pulling it apart. Great
was her horror to find a six-inch
moccasin nestled in the center
of the hair. 1t had worked it's
way in the day before when the
young lady had put it on the
ground. The Christian Herald.

Infection in the Prison.

Only twenty-one prisons in
fifteen States n d Territorie
have provided special places for
the treatment of their tubercu-
losis prisoners. These institu-
tons can accommodate, however,
only 800 patients. In three
fourths of the major prisons and
in practically allthe jails of the
country the tuberculous prisoner
is allowed freely to infect his
fellow prisoners, very few re-
strictions being placed upon his
habits. When the congregate
mode of prison life is considered,
the danger of infection becomes
greater than in the general popu-
lation. New York and Massa-
chusetts are the only States
where any systematic attempt
has been made to transfer all
tuberlous prisoners to one central
institution. The largest prison
tuberculosis hospital is in Manila,
where accommodations for zoo
prisoners are provided. The next
largest is Clinton prison hospital
in New York, which provides
for $50.

Desperate Fight With a Snake.

c. E. Mullins, who lives on
Jones' Fork in the Bradfords-
vile section, engaged in a des-
perate fight with a tremendous
rattlesnake a few days ago and
memory Of the encounter will
doubtless linger with him for
many months to come. Mr..
Mullins found the snake in his
yard, a short distance from his
home, and not wishing to let the
reptile escape, he called to his
wife to bring him a stick. This
she quickly did. The first blow
struck by Mr.. Mullins seemed
but to anger the snake which
sprang at him a distance of sew
eral feet, and a furious fight be-
gan, Mrs. Mullins, displaying
rare bravery, went to the assis-
lance of her husband and in a
few minutes the two had sue
ceeded in killing the reptile,
which, upon examination was
found to have had twenty-one
rattles. The snake is said to
been one of the largest ever
killed in that section of the
county. Mrs. Mullins has re-
Gently lost about thirty of her
finest pullets, and it is thought
the monster reptile, and the
foxes that abound in the neigh
borhood, have gotten them. =

LEGATION in Washington of 'The
Woman's Interstate Press" a
woman's newspaper, edited and
reported by women and devoted
entirely to their interests. 1t is
not to be the official organ of any
council, association, club or lea

ly with all questions affecting
women. 1t proposes to devote
particular attention to news of
feminine interest, such as better
conditions for children, teachers
and women wage-earners. Mrs.
Atwood says that the new paper
is not to be fashion journal nor
a cook book, or a collection of
health hints, but a real newspa-
per, in which matters Of genuine
interest will be discussed. One
of the features will be a review

that TIM country is growing in
population at a rapid rate. The
gains in some of the cities are
very notable, several of the little

advancement in the last ten

more significant in various ways
than the increases in the larger
cities, for it shows local thrift

Keep Up Her Milk.

Whatever you do, try to keep
up cows flow of milk after she
once comes fresh. It may be.
possible to bring her up again
a considerable extent after havV
ing dropped, but the undertak-|
ing is difficult. 1t costs much
more to bring her back even
partially than to keep her up
from the start. With plenty of
good clover and bluegrass pas
ture and an abundance of pure,
water, it ought not to be hard toI
keep up a cows original flow of
milk at least within reasonable
limits.
When the pasture begins to-
dry up, give the cow some good
protein feed like alfalfa, cow
peas or clover hay. If these can
not be obtained in their stead
give some wheat bran or a few
pounds o f cottonseed meal =

Every individual has certain

in amount, some capable of al
most unlimited extension which
are his to use for himself or for
his master. Time, intellectual
power, social gifts-some have
one, some another, not many
possess all. But upon every
Christian comes the obligation to
service, not by imperious COM
mand, but as the natural re-
Spouse of the heart to him
through whom alone we have
knowledge of the true meaning
of life. The man who can truly
speak of Christ as MY Saviour

The Peanut Politician.

come and go, do we find father
time ringing in the changes.
The things we have about us
now are not the things which
were, each and every thing hav-
ing its turn, serving its day, aad
then becoming obsolete. One OF
the most-noticable of these evo.
luting changes is 'The passing
of the peanut politician" a char
acter that for years played ar
active part in every township
and city. He it was sat behind
the scene and looked wise and
issued his edicts. When upon
the street he rushed to shake
hands with the great common
people and the sereneness of his
bland smile used on that occasion
would settle the most pestifer-
Gus storm. He gave out his
opinion in that knowing conf
dental manner that said 'I'll
tell you this because you are my
friend SO do not mention it. "
Now this political sage is fast
becoming one of the things that
were. The people no longer
look to him for wisdom; they
have long since learned that
those gushing how-dye-do's and
confidential chats did not mean
anything and that they were
handed out literally to all. The
voter now when approached by
this politician Immediately be-
gins to ask himself what the
clever gentleman wants.
No longer are the great COM
mon people hungry for office
and official promises at the ex-
pense of their country and gov
eminent. All have found that
honest administrations leave no
picking for the peanut politician.
All have learned that the prom
Use made in high places mean
but little and that there are
many dissapointments in office
holding.
The changes in the times have
left no room for the peanut poll
tician, he must &c and be con-
tented with the has beens.
The leaders at Washington
who during the last presidential
campaign filled the people up on
promises have learned to see
their mistake. They have learn
ed that they cannot run an en-
tire congress contrary to their
promises and in behalf of the
money grabbers and trusts and
cover their acts with soft and
gushing handshakes for the
people. No, the people have
learned the difference in revising
it downward. The peanut poll
tician must change his program.
He has learned that from such
upheavals as the last governors
election in Kentucky and the
last municipal election in the
great city of Milwaukee. The
people are doing their own
thinking, they are in the saddle
and will rule. Honest Abe Lin
coin said it right when he gave
birth to that now old saying
"You can fool all the people
part of the time and part of ths
people all the time but you can
not fool all the people all th'
time"

This place, as every one knows,

these grounds the Blue and Grey

page of history and to which we
all look back not only with sor-
row, but with pride. No men

1t is probably one hundred feet
in length; then you cross a court
and enter into a large stone gate

age, the care and skill used in

en- doors about 8 inches in thick
ness, put together with bolts,
swung on huge iron hinges. The
entrance at the stone gateway is
made on the same order as that
at the tunnel entrance, with the
exception that one of these
doors has a small door. When
passing in or out, it is not neces-
sary to open the entrance.
Most of the work remains prac-
tically perfect. Little stones are
used in construction. Most of it
is brick work, which far surpass-
es the skill of our workman to-
day. Nothing remains but the
