Bearnior, Neb,, June 22.-—[Special Tele- gram (o0 Tue Ber,]—The linemen engaged in putting up wires and poles for the Rapid Transit and Power comvpany, which has the contract for lighting the city by electricity, 'went out on a strike last evening. The cause was dissatisfaction over alleged mistreat- ment accorded them by the manager of the company. Tho matter has not yet been ad- justed. Deputy Sheriff Reynoids of Phillips county, Kansas was in the city today to re- cover n horse stolen from Phillipsburg re- cently, The lorse was located on the farm ot Wilkes Lillle, three miles south of Vir- ginia, this county, and with the aid of a Goge county deputy the animal wus recoy- ered, Lillie claimed to have traded for the animal of the man that stole it. He sur- rendered 1t without objections, Juage Bush bad concluded not to hand down his decision in tho Rapid Transit com- dany injunction caso until Friduy next to which ume the court today aajourned. ‘Tho Rapid Transit and Power company of Beatrice last eveniug began a suit for damages against the Beloit Iron works for Tho corner stono of the new Second Pres- byterian church was laid with impressive ccremonies at the corner of West Court and Bumner streets last evoning.

For the first time since the city of South Omuha was incorporated the Board of Edu- cation has asked for a tax levy for school purposes, Heretofore the amount of money received from licenses and other sources has been sufiicient to maintain the schools and make necessary improvements and construct new buildings. A communication has been forwaraed by Secretary Funston to the county commis- sioners and_city council, givine notice that the board has decided a levy of 12!§ mills against the taxable property in tho school district is necessary, Tho monoy derived from thisgsource will be used in the purchase of new sites and the erection of new buildings, which the vresent crowded condition of the schools makes absolutely a necessity, A laree number of property owners do not hesitato to say that they will resist this at- tempt of the Board of Education to increaso tho tax levy. The sciool district will this year derive a revenuo of $35,000 from tho saloons, ana there is now in the treasury about £5,000. The expense of main- taining'the schools is estimated at about 830,000 per yoar. This would leave on hand o balance of §10,000 or $11,000, to be expended in improvemeats. The board owns two or three valuable tracts of land within the city limits which are now vacant and not in use. Tnose who oppose the levying of the tax claim that it would be more just and busi- ness like if one of these valuable sites was disposed of und the mouey expended in the Pproposod new school buildings. The objecting property owners say they will immediately take steps to resist tho levying of the tax. Want to Celebrate, Tue Bee's advocacy of a monster cele- bration on July 4, to be held in Omaha, meets with hearty approval by South Omaha people. A large number of promnont citi- zons and merchants have expressed them- solves on the proposition and unanimousiv {favor the holding of such a celebration. All were of the opinion that the citizens of South Omaha would join heartily and wulingiy join in assisting to make the celebration a grand success, and hope was exprossed that Omaha’s pluck ana enterprise would come to the front aud perfect pinns for the grand demonstration.

An Irishman Who Got a Million Dollars and Knew What to Do with It. “The story of Monte Cristo is gener— ally regarded as a_highly improbable piece of fiction,” said a Montana man to a reporter of the St. Louis Republic, **but I have in mind a case of a miner in our state who cormes very near fur- nishing a parallel character. About ten years ago L had in iy employ an Irishman, a clever but totally unedu- cated fellow, who did odd jobs about my place in Helena. You remember what afeverish state that country was in about that time over the rich finds in gold in the country adjacent. My Irish- man caught the fever and one day aston- ished me by asking me to loan him $200, with which he wanted to buy a pros- pector’s outfit. Well, the fellow bogged 80 hard and money was easy anyhow, so Ilet him have it. He bought him a mule and some tools and lit out for the mountains alone. “In abouta month he came back to Holena with that mule fairly stagger- ing under a load of the richest of ore. He hired three men, bought three more mules, went back to the hills, and struck town shortly afterward with four more mules loaded as the first one had been. A representative of an English syndi- cate happened to bein Helena about this time on the lookvnt for mining in- vestments. He saw the Irishman’s little pack train, took a sample of the ore, had it assayed, went out and examined the claim, and vhen made the Irishman a proposition that mighty nearly scared him to death. I was sitting in my office at the time, when in burst Mike in a state of terrible excitement. **What do you think, sor, I'm offered for me claim?’ he gasped. Oune million dollars and 25 per cent of the net profits.” “Of course I told him to sell, which he did. It proved a good investment for all concerned, as the Englishmeu have taken millions of dollars out of the mineg, “But now comes my point. Instead of committing the usual follies that poor men indulge in when they become sud- denly very rich, Mike sot_about to get the highest benefits of his wealth. There lived in Helena an English lady, widow of an English officer, who was possessed of a high degree of culture and rofinement, though in very needy circumstances. Well, sir, the first~ thing Mike did was to go to this lady and bargain for an education. He placed himself absolutely under her dictation; lived in the same house, and she taught him how to hold a knife and fork, how to eater and leave aroom. Then followed the rudiments of a literary education and a year or so of travel. “I met my Irish laborer in the parlor of a London hotel about six months ago, You never saw a more perlect gentle- man in your life. He has acquired a classicul education, is as casy and grace- ful in manners as a courtier, and above all has the true insticts of a man and a gentleman in his heart. And could a man be anything but a gentleman who had evidently made it the dream of his life to be one at his first opportunity?” pealle Call for & pint of Cook's Extra Dry Impe- rial Chawpagne if you want & delicious cook- tail mada, It's both meut and drink, il OBERFELDBRS ARE STILL SELL- ING MILLINERY AT THEIR Ri- DUCED PRICES, 208, 210, 212 S, 11TH STREET, e Round Trip Tickets, The only line running through trains direct to’ Denver, Colorado Springs, Manitou and Pueblo.

CARTCATURE IN AMERICA. It Dates from &ndwew Jackson's Time Buat Only Taak Keal Shape In 1850, Political carienture in the United States virtually datos from the first ad- ministration of Andrew Juckson, says the Century. Thare had been occasional offorts to use caricature ns a political weapon previeus to that time, but they were too crude in execution, 0o spas- modic in appearance and too indefinite in purpose to be taken into consideration in tracing the beginnings of our modern school. The advent in national polities of 80 robust a porsonality as Genoral Jackson seems not unnaturally to have stimulated a resort to pictorial means for both assailing and defendiny him. He had entered the presidencg as the savior of his country, a military hero of indomitable valor. His fight against the U. S, bank, his vociferous and unceremonious methods of conduct- ing controversies with political oppon- ents, the subservient conduct of his famous *‘kitchen cabinent” and its di solution when Van Buren withdrew from it, had combined during his first term to enhunce greatly his attractiveness as o popular idol. He appeared before the people as their only champion against the oppressive designs of a huge money monppoly in which the whole world was joined. He was the **people’s friend” in’all crises, the giant who, single-yanded, was fighting their battles against enemies from all quar- tors. Every conapicuous nct of his pub- lic life was performed amid uproar and turmoil. Even when his *'kitchen cab- inet” was dissolved there was so much dramatic dissurbance that one of the political caricatures of the time pictured him, armed with a churn-dasher, clear- ing the kitchen of all opponents as with the very besom of destruction. In the United States the many figured Rroup cartoon appears to have been a steady favorite sinco Jackson’s time. Its immediate inspirers were undoubt- edly Gillray and John Doyle, more es- pecially the latter, whose sketches had beon filling the shop windows of London for two yeurs when similar productions began to appear on this side of the water. Doyle had followed Gillray at a considerable distance, however, for he was u farinferior artist in every way, having slight perception of humor and being hard A\n(Y irflexible in his meth- od3. What Doyle did was to take Gill- ray’s occasionall act of giving a correct likeness.and make it his own perma- nent practice. His sketches are valua- ble today chiefly for this quality, all his drawings "of leading men of the period being veritable por- traits of real historic value, some of them the best in existence. Our early American political caricaturists followed Doyle’s example as faithfully as their powers as draughtsmen would permit. That they did not succeed very well in the beginning, the Century thinks, was not strange. Drawing was scarcely taught at all in this country at tho time, and the only persons who were skilled in it had drifted here from abroad and had little knowledge of our politics and public men. 1t was only in very rave instances, therefore, that a lithograph caricature of an earlier date than 1840 cun be found which is even tolerable, either in conception or execution. There was a_slight improvement after that period and by 1850 a sufticient advance had been made' to justify” the assertion that the foundation of a school of Amer- ican political cacicature had been laid. e — Disease never successfully attacks a sys- tom with pure blood.

In the Last Hundred Yesrs Over 19,000, 000 Lives Have Been Sacrificed. Humanity it continually at war against itself, without ever having taken time to reflect and ask the reason why. It opens its veins for the simple pleasure of seeing its noble blood flow, blood that is always young and continually re- newed. How many men are destroyed by war in a century? Asks the Cincin- natti Commercial Gazette. Official re- ports and documents presented in the best accredited historical treatises cnable us easily to caleuciite the number of soldiers who have beer killed or who have died during modern wars. Thus, for example, we _know that during the unaccountavle Fr German war of 1870-71 250,000 v were slain on the two sides; that during the useless Crimean war of 1854-65 785,000 were slain; that during the short Italian war of 1859 63,000 men fell on the field of battle or died in hos- {\inlu; that the game of chess between >russia and Austria in 1866 deprived 46,000 1ndividuals of life; that in the United States the strife between the north and south caused the death of 450,000 men in 1860-64; we know also that the wars of the first empire poured out the blood of 5,000,000 Europeans, and moreover that France has taken up arms twenty times since 1815, On add- ing the numberof victims of war during the last century a total of 19,840,900 is reached simply in the oivilized countries, of Europe and in the United States.
