Ktnperor William of Germany talks

Two cents more has been added to
the price of oil by the Standard Oil
company. This will enable it to make

out of it, too.
There is a reminder of the late Dr.
Burchard's famous "Rum, lloman-

approached with "soap, soup nnil sal-
vation."

Let's see; it was President Baer,

public uneasiness was unfounded,

It is reported that the famous
white house portraits, most of which
for generations htdt decorated the
walls of the public apartments, nre
to be transferred to the basement
and hung in a long underground cor-

to a stairway leading from the base-

terior decorations, and provision has
not been made in the large rooms on

and Tba Hague.
Washington, Dec. 24.—It is known
that the president and all of the
members of his cabinet at first pre-
ferred that the whole vexatious Ven-
ezuelan question should be referred
to The Hague tribunul. It is under-
stood that the president's plan, if he
determines to arbitrate, contemplates
the appointment cf a board of arbi-
trators. He would not confide this
important undertaking to any one
man, nor does he feel able himself to
spare the vast amount of time neces-
sary for an examination in detail of
each of the many claims that would
be prevented against Venezuela. Nec-
essarily the president's own arbitra-
tion board would include some mem-
bers of a high order of legal talent,
as well as others thoroughly versed
in the practice of international law.
It is said that the crucial point lie-
fore the arbitration is the famous
"Cnlvo doctrine." This doctrine,
which was laid down by the greatest
of Latin-American international luw-
ycrs for all of the Latin-American re-
publics, denies the right of any na-
tion to intervene diplomatically in
behalf of one of its subjects where
the courts of the country nre open
to his application for justice. Thus
Venezuela has asserted that all of
these claimants, llritlsh, German,
Italian and French, might hnve gone
before the Venezuelan courts and if
their rnuses hail been just nnd so
decided by the courts, the govern-
ment would hnve paid the judgments.
The objection to this view is that
no account is taken of miscarriages
of justice nnd of racial antipathies.
It is known now that some mem-
bers of the cabinet are opposed to
referring the matter to The Hague
tribunal. In the first place they
have no desire to anbmit the Monroe
doctrine to the arbitrament of any
non-American tribunal, not even ex-
cepting the august and eminently
fair tribunal of The Hague. They
very much prefer that if this doc-
trine is to be the subject of arbi-
tration, if it is to be even brought
in incidentally, that American influ-
ences shall pas-s on it. Not*thnt the
fairness of The Hague arbitrators is
Impeached, but as most of them rep-
resent European anil monarchical in-
terests, it is realized that their train-
ing may lie regarded aa unsympa-
thetic whepe they are required to
deal with such an essentially Ameri-
can suhjet-t as the Monroe doctrine.
The modern tendency toward co-
operative living, whether it be shown
in boarding horse, hotel and apart-
ment living, or in the community co-
operative kitchen, U taken by many
•oeial economists as a distinct menace
to home life. It may, perhaps, for a
limited class of society, but not for
the great majority of the American
homes. The instinct for home life
and home making U too strongly
imbedded, certainly in the American
woman, to be uprooted in many gen-
erations, if ever.

loss is $200,1)00. The fire spread from
the drug : tore basement to the floors
above and then to the three-story
Reatrice national bank building irtl- |
joining on the east. The fire was i
discovered by the police judge, Mr.
t'allison, who roomed on the second
floor over the drug store. He was i
confined to his room with rheunta- j
tlsiu, but gave the alarm by shout- '
ing from a window. He was over-
come by smoke and was rescued by
ladders raised to his window. The
fire, aided by n strong south wind,
haflled the firemen, who were handi-
capped by a defective boiler at the
city pumping station, and quickly
gutted the bank building. Nothing
was saved. The bank vaults nre be-
neath the fallen walls of the building.
The fire at its way westward toward
the First national bank and de-
stroyed several small stores in the
same block. The F.eatrice national
bank opened for business on time in

Dwieht M. Sibin, of Minnesota, died
suddenly in his apartments at the Au-

States senator from Minnesota from
1 to 1S89. He left an estate of
$10,000,000.
A six-year-old girl in Chicago stole
quietly out of bed and drank half a
pint of whisky, from the clTects of
which she died. The child's mother
explains tint her little daughter had
a passion for whisky. The incident
is distressing enough, but it might
have been much worse. It is a fear-
ful caininity to be born with a taste
for whisky, and particularly where
'he drendfnl heritage fails to a wo-
man. To the thoughtful man or wo-
man every day brings some example
of the mercy of death.— Kansas City

The great strides which Western
Canada is making, and the wonderful

Great Brituin. The large crops of
the past two years, with phenomenal
yields, have enacted a movement to-

stead ia taken. The Edmonton Bul-
letin, one of the "farthest north"
newspapers, in a recent article on
the Northwest as a wide and open
field, snys: "There must be fertile
soil, '.here must be a suitable climate,
there must be the possibility of build-
ing up n modern civilization; and thu
couditions must be such that labor
csn reach the land; or in other
words, land must be cheap. The
Canadian Northwest contains this
largest unbroken area of country on
the continent, or in the world fulfill-
ing these conditions. In its thou-
eund miles of plain which stretches
from the Lake of the Woods to the
Rocky Mountains Canada is ablo to
offer land to the landless of the con-
tinent, nnd of the world. Thus year

Trices have advanced In Westers
Canada 50 per ccnt. in the last twe
years, and the upward movement
seems still on. The migration intc
Canada Is becoming notable. Some
body has estimated that 25,000 acrel
of Canadian land nre sold a day tc
people from the United States.
Whatever doubts there have bees
as to the suitability of the Canadiai
Northwest for settlement, thost
doubts have been set at rest by th<
successive yields oi previous years
and by the crowning glory of th«
pnst year (1902), which gives solic
assurance as to possibilities that
would not otherwise have been be-
lieved. The fact of the grain produc
tlon of the pnst season In Manitobs
and the Northwest, 117,922,754 bush
els from 1,987,330 acres, antl that I
certain number of farmers have pro
duced n greater value of wheat, onts
and cattle for snle than any othci
equal number anywhere else in th«
known world, is tlie best pos&ible an-
swer to the question: "Is thert
wealth In the Northwest?" Not onlj
in the Northwest but in the wholl
country has there been prosperity.
The Canadian Northwest Is not al
alike in its production. Wheat grow
ing is the specialty of one part, cat
tie ranching of another, nnd mixec
farming—the growth of grain ant
live ftock together—of still another
Speaking roughly, the southcastcri
parts of the Territories and Manitobl
are wheat growing; the southwest
ern part of the Territories is ranch
ing, nnd the northern part of tht
Territories is mixed farming. Differ
ences of soil, climate, and other con-
ditions are the causes of these differ
enccs in agriculture in the vnrioui
sections. But it Is safe to say thai
in no other area of the world is theri
an equal possibility of the production
of wealth from the soil, whether bj
one branch of agriculture or another
