Jasper county has gained 8,107 in population •Ince 1800; Rensselaer gained 800. Fine farming and stock raising county. Corn. Oats, Wheat and Hay are principal crops. Onion. Sugar Beet and slock growing largely in Northern portion of County. Fine Lubricating Oil is also found in northern portion and hundreds of wells are now producing while others are being put down.

The commissioners estimate for new bridges in Pulaski county for next year is $15,000. Indianapolis democrats nominated Charles Maguire for mayor. Charles A. Book waiter is the republican candidate. The city election occurs in October. We are glad to see that all of the republicans of Nebraska did not indorse Governor Savage’s pardon or parole,rather—of Bartley, the embezzling ex-state treasurer, who was serving a sentence in the penitentiary for his crimes. The state convention rebuked the governor for his action, and public sentiment was so strong against it that he has revoked the parole and has ordered Bartley sent back to prison.

Several of the township trustees will ask their advisory boards to appropriate money enough to allow them to publish their annual reports in full instead of simply an abstract such as the law requires. The people are entitled to know for just what purposes the money has been spent and the abstract required by law only shows the totals of money received and paid out in each fund. To give the report, in full shows each item of expenditure and for what purpose expended, a much more satisfactory way than that contemplated by the law of last winter. —Benton Review.

Construction Commissoner Fish of the Monon now has the big drain completed all but three anti a half miles in the branch near Medaryville. The few inches of stone found in the bottom at the lower end of the earthwork of the n ain ditch has been taken out slick and clean by Lawrence Thrasher, thus leaving nothing there to check the How or any way prevent a free outlet. Dry weather has held up the dredge in the branch for a time, but the rains Saturday and the tirst of the week probably have it going all right, so it will not l>e very long until all of the the big ditch will be doing good service, much to Mr. Fish’s satisfaction.—Pulaski County Democrat. This seems to be a bad year for Perry Heath's friends, whether they be manipulating the funds of Natinal Banks or utilizing federal office to get rich quick. Another man that he placed on Uncle Sam’s pay roll is in trouble for crookedness. This time it is W. F. Hoey, who like Neely hails from Muncie. Ind., and who owes his appointment to be collector of customs at Norgales, Ariz., to Perry Heath’s pull with the administration, who has been arrested of carrying on a wholesale business for smuggling Chinamen to I . S. from Mexico at from S2OO to $30() a head. The joke in this case is that Perry Heath specially recommended Hoey to Secretray Gage as a man whose sterling integrity especially fitted him to a position from which another man had just been removed, about a year and a half ago, on account of irregularities in his office. According to rejiorts on file in the Treasury Department Hoey hardly waited until he got warm in his office before he started his scheme to get rich by smuggling Chinamen across the border from Mexico. It remains to be seen whether Perry Heath’s pull can do as much for this crook as it has done for Neely who robbed the Cuban postal funds and is still untried.

The war department has given out a carefully prepared statement comparing the imports and exports of the Philippine Islands tor the seven months ending January 31,1901, with tire same period a year previous. This statement is intended, of course, to show that U. 8. ownership and control of the islands, is benefiting our trade, but a careful study of figures presented brings out little to encourage that idea. When the number of American soldiers and civilians on the islands is considered, the increase in the imports from the U. S. from $890,010 to $1,493,488 seems absurdly small, especially when the increase during the same period in imports from Europe was from $5,270,766 to $8,974,183. In the exports from the island the U. S. makes a still poorer showing, the latter seven months showing only $1,477,611 against $2,037,630 the previous year. What adds to the aggravation of these figures is that exports to Europe show an increase from $3,201,653 to $7,983,751. Even admitting that the commerce of the Philippines will in the course of time become as great as the most sanguine predict, where will the benefit to U.S. commerce come in, if Europe is to continue to control the lion’s share of it? And there seems no way to shut the Europeans out. The treaty of Paris pledges the U. 8. to give equal commercial privileges to all nations in the Philippines. Those who think that the Philippines will not cut an important figure in our future politics, should lose no time in taking another hard think on the subject.

Sousa’s Great Tact in Pleasing His Audiences.

It is a remarkable fact, almost invariably noticeable in every part of the country, that to open the doors upon a Sousa concert means a packed house and the happiest of audiences. A Sousa audience lis never solicitous, but gloriously ; expectant. It is simply a question lof arrival of the moment when Sousa shall raise his baton and real enjoyment begins. The public everywhere long learned by experience that whatever Sousa gives is the right thing, just the sort they most wished for, selected more for their taste than if they had made the chioce themselves. John Philip Sousa is as much the master of programme-making as of the baton, and therein lies the secert of his marvelous success. To suit the temperament and desires of a concourse of people of vastly varying degrees is a most difficult thing to do, but the famous leader is possessed of rare perceptive powers, and, having long made a close study of the people of every part of this continent he knows exactly what to present in order to please them best. As Sousa himself once said, “I am best pleased when my audience is best satisfied,” which is a key to his purpose to give the people just what they want. The latter recognize the fact and are, naturally enough, ready to pour into any place thrown open to a Sousa concert, knowing they will be served with delicious things from first to last. These concerts have grown into their wonderful popularity as much though Sousa's amiable tact in pleasing as through their technical brilliacy. The only Sousa concerts at Indianapolis this season will occur on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and evenings, Sept. 18th 19th. at the State Fair Grounds, and Sausa goes from there direct to London for his English tour of three months. He will play his new march “The Invincible Eagle” for the the first time at Indianapolis.

The beet known of his books to Americans is probably “The Romance of the Next Century,” although his “Poor Rich Man’ is also popular.

expenses are comparatively few. On marriage she received a dowry of $150,000, and she had magnificent wedding gifts of diamonds, rubles, pearls and other Jewels. Like the rest of the queen’s children, she has an income of $30,000 a year. Miles Betwixt. Colonel R. 8. McKenzie of the Fourth United States cavalry was regarded in 1874 as the next candidate for the appointment of brigadier general, but another wearer of the silver eagle on his shoulder straps eame into prominence about that time in the person of Colonel Nelson A. Miles of the Fifth infantry. In Colonel McKenzie's regiment there was a grizzled veteran. Captain Napoleon B. McLaughlin. One starlit night lie and Colonel McKenzie were together in camp on a scout upon the plains in Texas. Colonel McKenzie was walking up ami down near his tent, snapping his fingers anti showing many signs of inward excitement. Suddenly he stopped and gazed up at the sky. “What are you looking for, colonel?” inquired Captain McLaughlin, stepping out from his tent, from which he had been watching the officer's movements. “Oh, I’m only looking for a star!” said the colonel, with some embarrassment. “Colonel,” said the veteran gravely, "I fear there’s Miles between you and that star!" Events proved that there was reason in his words. —Columbian. Howard Gould In Sweden. Howard Gould, with his monster yacht, the Niagara, anchored in the harbor of Stockholm and surprised the citizens by his unassuming way and open handed hospitality. All have been welcome to view the floating palace, and the elite of the city have availed themselves of the courtesy. At the conclusion of the yacht races Mr. Gould gave a dinner on board, at which were present American Minister Thomas and Consul General Winslow. Yacht builders at every city where the Niagara drops anchor receive an opportunity to inspect the vessel, and all confess that America can build ships. Mr. Gould makes this voyage In a businesslike manner, and all accounts of stores and supplies are kept the same as on an ocean steamer. Even the menu for the crew Is printed, and no laxly of seamen fares so well us those on the Niagara. Emperor William asked to see the bill of fare for the seamen, and he said that many days his own table did not present such an attractive menu.— Stockholm Cor. Chicago Record.
