THE AROUB,
When Berner came to Jackson
He was loaded up for bear.
But he found only weasels
And odor in the air.
But when he shelled the woods a bit
They began to slink away,
And now we are breathing easy
And are happy on the way.
Mr. David Spencer is smiling this
morning over a brand new boun
cing baby boy. Three cheers for David!
Miss McKie will give a recital in the

The Jackson Institute is one of the

it will be as much honor to a young man

Two of its faculty are graduates from
its sacred walls, and they are teachers
who are second to none.

that seventy millions of people, as a

line of reasoning we have only to continue
the process indefinately until every man,

NEVER HAPPY.
When there ain’t no wind a-blowing,
We’er a-workin’ of a fan;
When the cyclone is a goiu’
We’re a-runnin all we can!
Jest the queerest kind o’people!
Never knowin’ what is best;
The folks that’s livin’ southward
Is a-longin’ fer the west!
The fellers on the border,
They’re jest mint with the drouth,
An’ they’re pullin’ stakes an’ packin’
An’ a-headin’ fer the south!
It jest beats the whole creation—
Always somethin’ that we lack;
Swap a palace fer plantation,
Then give “boot” to get it back!

GYMKHANA IN LONDON.
Bow the English Are Amusing Them
selves with an Indian Sport.
The gymkhana, a sort of gymnastic
hash, in which the participants are ex
pected to exercise their ingenuity in
devising all sorts of unheard of per
formances, has been introduced into
England from India. The sport is very
popular in that part of the orient, but
is little known in western countries.
The idea was launched in London
the other day, and according to the
papers there the lovers of sport have
gone crazy over it. The most amusing
event on the programme was a cos
tume race. Seated on side saddles and
attired in dresses of the gayest colors
and the most startling cut five men
went round the oourse, which included
a bushed hurdle. Two ballet girls
(both men) covered their ponies’ quar
ters with voluminous skirts, a Dolly
Varden and baby in bed gown and sun
bonnet, and raced for tne fence, and
Charley’s Aunt brought up the rear.
Another feature of the day was the ob
stacle race, in which a vqgiety of ob
jects likely to put ponies on were ar
ranged round the course. The one
that attracted people most was the
series of paper screens through which
the ponies had to force their way. The
head-to-tail race and the handkerchief
dash were mirth-provoking features.
In the former men rode at lively speed
with their faces toward the horses’
tails, and in the latter a rider dropped
a lady's handkerohief on the ground,
then at a gallop picked it up without
leaving the saddle.

EXCITEMENT AND SUSPENSE.
The Union County, Ivy., Tax Collector’s
Munitions Delayed.
Sturgis, Ky.. September 27.—Couriers
are running hither and thither with
bills announcing a railroad tax meeting
in the city hall this afternoon. Colonel
N. G. Kelsev. ex-president of the Ohio
Valley railroad, will address the citi
zens. A reporter interviewed Deputy
United States Marshal W. C. Dyei. who
returned from U niontown this morning.
He saw several of the men who are to
aid Blackwell in the collection of the
tax. He was not favorably impressed
with the personnel of the eomthander
in-chiefs assistants, most of them being
young fellows whose habits are said to
be careless. It is hinted on the streets
that traitors are in camp who have sold
out to the bondholders and are talking
compromise. Although their names
are prominent, they may suffer if it
should prove true. The citizens are
still in great suspense and excitement,
as they are not sure of the movements
of the collector, and consequently know
not when to expect him.
FIGHTING THE COMBINE.
Kentuckians Against the Recent Raise of
Insurance Rates in That State.
Lexington, Ky.. September 27. —The
fire insurance combine which has in
creased the insurance rates on business
property in Kentucky and Tennessee
is meeting with opposition here from
the citizens and business men. About
fifty' of the leading men in Lexington
met last night to protest against this
increase in the insurance rating in
Lexington.
Many millions of dollars were repre
sented, since some of the wealthiest
men in Kentucky were present, and the
protest certainly means something not
-o be made light of by the insurance
men. A set of resolutions were passed
protesting against the new rating and
the mayor called a meeting of the
property holders and business men for
today, September 27, to indorse the
resolutions and see further toward hav
ing the insurance I’ating reduced.

An Omaha Contractor Runs Away and
Loses a Large Fortune.
Omaha, Neb., September 27. —S. D.
White, a former well known contractor
of Omaha, has solved a mistery by re
turning to this city after an absence of
four years, during which time he had
been searched for by detectives of this
and other cities. He had been given
up as dead by his friends and relatives.
White said he had no idea of leaving
when he started on his drive on the
evening of July 30, 1890. It suddenly
occurred so him to drive across the
country to Washington. This he did,
regardless of the fact that his many
big contracts in Omaha were going to
wreck in the meantime. He lost by
this means SIOO,OOO. He says that he
went to Washington, and has just re
turned. His immense fortune is now
gone. He is believed to be demented.

AN EARLY IRONCLAD.
It Was Built to Break Through the
Spanish Lines.
The idea of protected ships, such as
the modern men-of-vvar, is by' no means
an absolutely new one. This is proved,
says the Western Mail, of Cardiff, by
the fact that an armored vessel was
constructed, though crudely, of course,
as far back as 1585 by a shipwright of
Antwerp during the wars between the
Spaniards and the Dutch. In the sum
mer of 1585 Antwerp was invaded by
the Spaniards both by land and water,
and the people of Antwerp built the
first protected ship on record in an at
tempt to break through the line of be
siegers in the river. It was a craft of
unusual size. w.ith flat bottom, its sides
armed with iron plates fastened into
great beams of w’ood. When finished
the builders thought it a floating castle,
impregnable to the artillery and mis
siles of those day's, which should crush
all opposition, as it contained a great
number of men, some of whom were
placed like sharpshooters in the tops of
the masts, and the rest protected by
the bulwarks.
They w r ere so confident that the craft
w’ould rout the enemy that they called
it “Finis Belli,” thinking it no doubt
would put an end to the war. Unfor
tunately', howev'er, the early ironclad
proved a disastrous failure, getting
stuck upon a bank of the Scheldt after
a very short and unhappy career. The
Spaniards were greatly amused with
the untimely end of the vessel, while
the brave burghers of Antwerp changed
the name from “Finis Belli” to “Per
dito Expensal,” or “Money Thrown
Away.” The crew then deserted the
ship, and the Spaniards, after defeat
ing the Netherlanders in a naval bat
tle, carried the monster in triumph to
the camp of Alexander, of Parma, where
it became one of the sights of the
times. The city of Antwerp w'as taken
August 17, 1585, and so the first iron
clad on record came to an unfortunate
end.
CROWN PRINCES PRESENT.
Those of England. Russia and Austria
Dancing at the Same Ball.
It is not often that the heirs to three
of the world’s most powerful empires
are dancing at the same hall, so a
quadrille d’honneur at Buckingham
palace the other night was a mem
orable occasion, says London Figaro.
The prince of Wales and crown princes
of Russia and Austria were footing it
together, and subsequently the Aus
trian archduke and the czarowitz were
noticed waltzing with their backs al
most torching each other. The heir
of the czar is very fond of dancing, a
taste which is shared to the full by his
betrothed, Princess Alix of Hesse. The
Austrian prince is inclined to be awk
ward, and managed to entangle his
spur with disastrous consequence to
the gown of Princess Louise of Batten
berg. He is described as a taciturn
young man and rather inclined to be
morose. During his visit to England
he avoided all the society he could and
really only went to court because
he could not very well stay away. At
the state ball he managed to wander
to a comparatively obscure corner, to
gether with the Japanese prince, where
the two royal gentlemen doubtless
consoled each other with anecdotes.
Another prince to whom the Austrian
deigned to be civil was a roy r al high
ness from Siam, whom he delighted by
addressing in a few words picked up
by' the archduke while in Bangkok.
JAP WOMAN TOOK COREA.
Empress Jingu Conquered tlie Country
and Won Everlasting Renown.
It is to a woman that Japan owes her
claim to Corea and to the naval suprem
acy of the eastern world. The first naval
expedition which made Japan’s “arms
to shine beyond the seas,” as the
chroniclers of the day so proudly
wrote, was planned and conducted by
a woman, Empress Jingu, and it
was directed against Corea. Empress
Jingu, according to the Japanese chron
icles, was young and beautiful and as
pious and obedient to the gods as beau
tiful. Asa reward for her fidelity
Heaven inspired her with determina
tion to conquer Corea,. So Jingu, or
dering a fleet to be collected, set out
in 201 A. D. upon Japan’s first naval
expedition. The empress won a rich
reward for her courage and energy,
and Corea became tributary to Japan.
Immediately upon her return a child
was born to the empress, who, when he
grew up, became a great warrior, and
is now worshiped under the name of
Hachiman, god of war. In later times
it became the fashion to attribute the
Corean victory to the influence of the
unborn child. All over Japan there
are temples erected in honor of both
Hachiman and Jingu, and as late as
1874, when the Japanese troops left for
Formosa, many of them pray'ed for
the special protection of Hachiman,
god of soldiers.
BURMESE DACOITS.
A Lawyer Mistaken for One and Fired
Upon at Rangoon.
The excitement among the English
in Birmah over the robbers and mur
derers they call dacoits may be im
agined from the following, says the
Rangoon Times:
A Mr. Birch, an advocate, was going
in the evening in a sampan with a
Eurasian clerk. Suddenly another boat
with natives in it drew near and hailed.
Neither Mr. Birch nor his clerk nor
the boatman, who was from Chitta
gong, could understand much Burmese,
and, fearing dacoity, he made signs to
his boatman to pull as fast as he could.
The other boat immediately opened
fire and Mr. Birch was hit in the thigh.
Mr. Birch, being armed with a Der
ringer, returned the shot and a pretty
sharp duel began. A police boat
eventually arrived and the thing was
stopped. It turned out that the na
tives were not dacoits, but an anti
dacoit patrol, who opened fire on Mr.
Birch's party because their challenge
was not duly answered. The Rangoon
Times questions whether, in the pres
ent unsettled state of feeling, the at
tack on a European was purely a mis
take.
The Impudent Weasel.
Impudence seems to be the leading
characteristic with the weasel in his
, relations with man. Perhaps the crea
ture has confidence that his long, slen
der body can always be snatched away
into safety before the ordinary human
being can do him harm. At any rate,
the weasel will coolly sit in the chink
of a stone wall and watch the doings
of men within a short stone'6 throw of
his asylum, and after nightfall the
beast wiU crawl about fearlessly with
in a yard or two of any human being
that may approach his haunts.
HINDOO CHILD-MARRIAGES.
A Brahmin’s Daughter Must Marry Very
Early or Her Reputation Suffers.
The Brahmin has to get his daughter
married before she attains puberty.
This custom has crept into religion.
The Hindoo religion strictly forbids
single life for woman or man; especial
ly must the woman be married. Hence
there are no old maids in India. Some
times one may meet an old “cranky'”
bachelor, who has remained unmarried
because he was too poor to marry, or
because his character was not good;
but even these are seldom found except
in the lower classes. If a man is not
married at the latest by his twenty'-
fifth year his reputation suffers. It is
a belief that those who have a son go
to Heaven, when the son, after the
death of his parents, performs the spir
itual rites. Ilow'ever this may be,
whether they’ go to Heaven or not, this
severe rule tends to a strict cultivation
of home life.
Owing \to this rule, if a Brahmin’s
daughter attains puberty before mar
riage the father is disgraced; he loses
his caste and no one will marry the
girl. Thus when a poor man has more
than one daughter it is a misfortune
for him. The Hindoo father himself
has to find out a suitable husband for
his daughter, so he goes to a gentle
man who has a son. He first makes in
quiries about the family, the property,
the health and education of the boy.
Then he asks the father of the boy to
marry his son to his daughter. The
father of the boy asks for dowry, and
the amount of this is fixed according
to the means of the man who asks for
it and not of the man who gives it; that
i§ to say, if the father of the boy is
very' rich he asks thousands of dollars,
lienee the Hindoo father of a girl has
to spend much for the marriage of his
daughter, for he always wishes to see
her married into a rich family.
A PATRIOT’S PETTICOAT. -
And llow It Helped to Drive Off the Brit
e ish Soldiers.
In a letter to the New York Times
David S. Turner, of New Dorp, S. 1.,
says: “During the war of 1812, when
Commodore Hardy attacked Stoning
ton, the people there had no military
defense except one old cannon which
had been used for firing salutes. At
Groton, on the hank of the Thames,
opposite to New London, lived Mrs.
Bailey in her own house, in the full
vigor of womanhood and patriotism
for her country, who, learning of the
attack, immediately mounted her horse
and started for that place to take part
in the affray. Upon her arrival there
the fight to prevent the landing of the
Hardy force had already commenced,
in which the old cannon was play
ing a conspicuous part, hut soon it
was found that the old gun must be
given up for want of cartridges or ma
terial to make them. It was at this
critical moment that Mrs. Bailey ar
rived, and, upon understanding the
matter, gave instant notice that she
could supply the needful, and then and
there stripped off her flannel petticoat,
which w'as soon worked into cartridges.
The old gun was kept at work, and
Commodore Hardy’s force went back to
the fleet to report progress.
“When Gen. Jackson was president
and made his tour through New' Eng
land he crossed the river at New Lon
don, made a call upon Mrs. Bailey at
her Groton home and gave her a cor
dial handshaking and his hearty con
gratulation upon her courageous and
patriotic action upon the occasion of
'the battle of Stonington.”.
IN NO DANGER.
This Young Man’s Head Would Never
Get Bald.
A barber out on New York avenue
was cutting the long, curling, profuse
locks of a young man, who has some
pretensions to being literary and occa
sionally poses before his friends as a
great genius, says the Washington
Post. With a supercilious smile and
words that could be heard all over the
room the young man inquired:
“Say, barber, what makes a man
grow bald?”
The barber snapped his scissors once
or twice and ran the comb through his
beard.
“Well,” he answered, slowly, “if a
man has got lots of brains and is a deep
thinker he generally gets bald. That,
they say, leads to it every time.”
Several of the customers looked at
the young man’s luxuriant crop and
smiled rather broadly. The young
man, however, did not exactly see the
joke. So pretty soon, when the barber
was running his fingers over the curly
locks, he tempted fate again.
“Say,” he asked, “do you think my
hair will come out and I’ll get bald?”
The man of the scissors paused re
flectively, and then, in V tone like he
was delivering a judicial decision, an
nounced:
“No; I don’t think you stand in any
danger of getting bald.”
Then the crowd laughed and the bar
ber looked surprised.
WHEN "SCAB” DATES FROM.
The Word Has Been in Use Since the
Year 1809.
The first time the word “scab” is
known to have been used in its present
sense by union men was in 1809. Al
though in 1817 several shipbuilders
struck at Medford, Mass., for a contin
uous rum supply, not till 1891 did
strikes become frequent. Thirteen hun
dred persons w r ere idle at Fall River for
six months in 1850.
The railroad strike of 1886, W’hich be
gan in St. Louis, May 5, will long be
remembered for its magnitude. A
union man had been discharged by the
Missouri Pacific road, and the mechan
ics and shopmen struck. This was the
nominal cause. Texas, Louisiana, Mis
souri, Kansas and Arkansas w T ere
largely affected, and governors of these
states issued proclamations.
Preceding this came the memorable
strike of 1877 with its immense destruc
tion of life and property. The four
great New York trunk lines were in
the hands of the strikers from first to
last. The riots of Chicago and St.
Louis were the wofk of tramps.
Both Ways Across the United States.

BRYAN AND FREE SILVER.
The Nebraska Democratic Convention
Renominates the Senator Unanimously.
Omaha. Neb., September 27. — The
Nebraska democracy captured Qrnaha
yesterday, and the prediction was cor
rect that when the state convention
opened not a delegate would be miss
ing 1 . All the open talk and badges were
for Bryan and free silver.
The convention was called to order
by Chairman Euclid Martin at 2:25
p. m.. and the call for the convention
was read. Chairman Martin then said
that in accordance with established
custom the central committee would
recommend Hon, Matt Miller for tem
porary chairman. The motion was sec
onded by a delegate from the third
district. W. S. Shoemaker at once
offered an amendment that Mr. E. P.
Smith be made temporary chairman.
The motion was greeted with applause
and a hundred seconds.
Congressman Bryan arose at this
point and when the cheers subsided
said in substance : “I think we might
as well understand each other in the
beginning and save trouble. We, wild
stand for free coinage at l(i to 1. be
lieve that the state central committee
postponed this convention in spite of
the wishes of a large body of demo
crats : and we believe that the object
was to defeat their wishes; and when
the state central committee found the
party overwhelmingly against it, it
might as well have taken the chairman
the majority proposed. But it has re
fused to do this. \\ e might as well
commence the fight now. We have had
conventions in which the chairman re
fused to recognize the majority. 1
want to say that any delegate who
comes here instructed for 1(5 to 1 cannot
disregard it. I ask those who are with
me to vote for Mr. E. P. Smi h/’ (Ap
plause).
Mr. Miller then rose and told the con
vention that lie was not seeking the
office and came to the convention in
structed for Bryan and J(i to 1 for
silver.
At the evening session \V. D. Oldham,
of Kearney, was made permanent
chairman and announced the conven
tion us ready for nominations. Dr. Ed
wards. of Lancaster, amid great demon
strations placed Congressman Hryan in
nomination for Enited States senator.
He was chosen by acclamation and re
plied in a speech pledging himself to
work for free silver and against monop
olies.
