a billion dollars iu the course of
eighty years. But there is also a
growth in the yearly average, and
tj»e time is coming when American
schools, colleges and universities
will be the strongest and richest iu
tlie world.
The year 1898 has departed, but it
will be a landmark iu American his-
tory.
The Porto Rican will pay $1.70 tax
where be paid $4.20 under Spanish
officials. That island is finding no
fault with American military rule.
Iu April the Spanish called an
Auiericon a pig" ami in December
"an upstart conqueror ” The
■epithets are not jiolite, but they
give a glimpse of history.
The recent indictment of Lexing-
ton (Kentucky) saloon keepers by
the grand jury for violating the Sun-
day law. made it impossible for‘‘the
colonels” to get anything to drink
on Christmas. The saloons were all
closed.
Houston, Texas, has already re-
ceived over 2,000,000 hales of cotton
this season, a record never up-
proaehed by anv interior town in
the United States, and is preparing
to celebrate the event with appro-
priate festivities.
In many important particulars
the American which the world sees
at the beginning of 1899 is widely
different from that wtiich it saw at
the opening of 1898. The difference
is moral as well as physical. Not
only do its boundaries stretch over
many more parallels and meridians,
hut its point of view and the attitude
held toward it by the rest of the na-
tions have been essentially changed.
Its liag floats over territory several
buudreds miles farther south and
several thousands of miles farther
west than any point which it touched j
twelve months ago. Races and peo- j
pies are part of its population now j
whom nobody expected, eithrr in or j
out or the United States, to become,
at this or any other time, a part of
the country's inhabitants. The cir-
cle of the nation’s interests and
activities has been immensely broad-
ened. By over 160.000 square miles
the country’s area and by over 10,-
000.000 the country’s inhabitants
have been increased since a year ago.
THE WAGON HAS SEEN DM,
John Evans held the lucky number,
10647.
Thanking you for your past patron-
age and soliciting it for the future,
we wish you a Happy New Year.
You will always find a large line of
dry goods, clothing, boots, shoes
and notions at the lowest possible
prices.

commission for the present year as
follows: Salary of four commission-
ers and employees. $60,000; salary of

A11 old <ady who died in Rochester.
N. Y.. a few days ago was the
daughter of a man who fought under
Washington, ami her husband was a
soldier in the war of 1812 She was
a young woman when she heard of
the bat lie of Waterloo. The ambition
of this old lady, aged 102. was to
survive until 1901. so that she might
say she had lived in three differentj
cen t,u ries.
The Soldier R< reiving Home in
New York, which was mainly sup-
ported bv Miss Helen Gould, has just
closed. In four months it fed and
kept 3000 soldiers and secured
employmeut for over 200. A vote
of thunks was sent to Miss Gould by
a committee of soldiers, and she
wrote that she prized the gift of the
note more than any costly Christmas
preseut.
Strange as it may seem, the
Spanish in their Mausers possess a
rifle that has hardly an equal. It is j
said that Germany would adopt it iu ,
place of the Mannlieher but for the
expenseeutailed. The Kragjorgen-
sen, used in the American army, is
to be furnished with a “clip” contain-
ing five cartridges, to be inserted
with a single motion. This saving
of seconds would be important in re-
pelling a charge. At other times
deliberateness of fire is a merit and
the prevention of the waste of cart-
riges a necessity. At present the
American army rifle cartridges are
inserted one at a time.
