the 20th century will have dawned.
During the nineteenth then; has been
greater achievements-mankind hus
accomplished mon; in civilization, in
improvement, in invention und in reli
gious growth th.in in any three pre
vioiis centuries. What will lu; tho
developments of the 20th century.1
Anderson is forging ahead to-day at
a pace never before equaled in her his
tory. New citizens aro constantly
coming in, new houses ar? going up in
every direction and evidences ol' gen
eral progress and prosperity are visible
on all sides. Now that we are about
entering a new year and n new cent my,
wo should redouble our efforts, creel
new enterprises and push forward the
wheels ol' progress in every way possi
ble.
A report comes from Washington
that Southern Congressmen und Sen
ators who have recently <-all?-?l on
President McKinley in reference to
oflices in the South under the next
administration are of the decided
opinion that the President has deter
mined to appoint only white Republi
cans to oilice in future. This is an in
dication that the administration pro
poses to gradually drop tho negro and
attempt to build up a white man's Re
publican jWty in the South.
Tho South African War, continues.
Lord Roberts is on his way to England,
and the supreme command of tho
liri tish forces hasbeen assumed by Gen.
Kitchener. The Roers continue active,
both in tho Transvaal and the Free
State. Gen. DeWet and liotha, Presi
dent Steyn and other lifter leaders are
still in the field, ami there ave frequent
attacks upon the British outposts and
lines of communication. A Roer force,
reported to be 2,500 strong, captured
DeWot'a Dorp, north ??f the Orange
Uiver, lust week and took 400 prisoners,
besides killing und wounding ninny.
The extension of rural free delivery
is the most striking new development
of the postal service, ns summarized in
the President's message. At the be
ginning nf the fiscal year 181MM0O0,
there were only?DI routes in operation,
most of which had been running less
than one year. Nov. 15, ISKH), (lie num
ber had increased to 2.GI i. reaching
into 4i States and Territories, and
serving n population ol' nearly 2,000,
000. By tho close of Ihcpvcscnt fiscal
year about 4,000 routes will have been
established, providing fertile daily de
livery of mail ut tho scattered homes ?d'
:i,500,000 people.
lt isa good sign, ns the Richmond
(Va.) limes says, that at the Washing
ton Centennial celebration a Southern
Senator should bo chosen as the orator
of the occasion; it is a better sign that
this Southern orator talked of national
unity. The country has just passed
through an exciting political campaign,
and the cry was raised that the repub
lic was in danger. That there were
conspirators who were plotting to over
throw it ami set up au empire. But
Senator Daniel, a Southern Democrat,
says that we ure the most thoroughly
unified of tho great nations; that our
people understand each oilier better
than tim}' have ?lone, and consequently
they have more hearty feelings of
friendship and sympathy for each other
than they ever had. These are the
words of Daniel, tho statesman, nod
they ure thc words ol truth. They
can be depended upon, and they tire
reassuring. Wo are the strongest of
nations, as ho says, and we are strong
because in union there is strength.
Tho country is safo and tho republic
wiii live forever.

lidward Cii?alty Pays (liai fur lite \U
covcry of his Boy.
OMAHA, NI C.. Dec. i*0.-Twenty-five
thousand ?lollats in ^r?>i.! was rho price
paid by Edward A. Cudahy, the mil
I iona i rc packer, lor the return of his
son, Edward Cudahy, .Jr.. who was ab
ducted by II gang of kidnappers laut
Tuesday night.
Yesterday about noon, .several hours
jil ter a letter had been left in tho front
yard at the Cudahy residence, another
missive was delivered to Mr. Cudahy at
his residence. It came through the
mails and contained a proposition to
return the boy safe an? unharmed, pro
vided the sum of $25,000 was paid that
night.
In the letter were full directions as
lo where the money was to be left, and
the assurance was given thal the miss
ing boy would be allowed lo return
within a few hours after the time when
the cash was paid.
A consultation uns held and the
plans were discussed tor capturing the
bandits when they should make their
appearance at the rendezvous that hud
been designated, hut one aller another
they were dropped as ticing impracti
cable.
Finally, impelled by the strain under
which the entire household was labor
ing, .Mr. Cudahy decided to comply
with the terms o Ile red and ransom his
son.
The money was.secured by a trusted
messenger, who was sworn to secrecy,
and was brought to the Cudahy house.
After ?limier Mr. Cudahy had one of
his horses harnessed to a light buggy,
and taking the money with him left for
the designated plaee at which it had
been stipulated tho money was to be
left.
In tho buggy he carried a red lantern
and was alone. Leaving tho house ho
drove five miles west of town on the
Sherman avenue road until he caine to
a white lantern that waa hanging on a
short stick by the side of the road.
This was the place where he was to
leave the boy's ransom, and alighting
from his buggy he deposited the sack
close by tho stick bearing thu white
light. Theil, without seeing anyone,
he returned to his home.
In the meantime thenbdttcto.H of the
boy had seen tho red light coming up
the road, ?ind as soon as the buggy had
disappeared in the direction from
which il had come. ? hey took I lu* money
and prepared to keep faith with the
lathe: ol' t he boy.
The lad was bundled into a hack and
set down close by bis lather's house
lihou i one o'clock this morning. Hav
ing been blindfolded all the time, tho
boy was unable to say where he had
been, but as nearly as he could esti
mate b\ the few observations he was
able to make, he thought he had been
taken about live miles south of South
< ?maha.
The cunning of the gang who had
the boy in keeping, and their thorough
knowledge of the geography of tho
city, are evidenced in the plans they
laid. Close by the place where Mr.
Cudahy was directed to leave the ran
som for his son the river approaches
tho road, and it is supposed tho men
were on tho watch for tho millionaire
and saw his red light from a boat. As
s( on us ho bnd driven away and they
had convinced themselves that no oth
ers were lurking near, they probably
clamored up the bank, obtained the
sack of gold that had been left for
them, mnde their way to tho boat again
and escaped without leaving nny tell
tale foot prints. '
There is absolutely no clue to tho
identity of tho abductors, although the ]
police havo been working incessantly
on the matter ever since it was first re
ported to them.
Late this afternoon young Cudahy
said that ho was seized on the street by
two men, who told him ho was a fugi
tive from the reform school, and that
they were deputy sheri tts from another
county. They placed him in a closed
carriage, threw a cloth over his head
and gagged bim. They then took him.
according to his judgment, to a lonely
house in South Omaha, where hu was
chained to the floor and kept a pris
oner until ho was put into a hack and
returned to his home this morning.
While a prisoner be was guarded by
two men and provided with food.
Court Approved Woman's Vengeance.
BOSTON, Dec. 21.-Tho most remark
able criminal case ever tried in a Mas
sachusetts superior court in many
years, nilli which aroused intense inter
est in thu fashionable back bay district,
was ended yesterday, when Judge
Komi piob.it ioned Marion Kogan, who
hail blinded for lite Dr. Frank L. Tay
lor, a dentist, by throwing vitriol in
his face in revenge for betrayal..
The young girl had appeared earlier
before the judge and told her pitiable
story. She said that Taylor, after he
had wrecked her life, had told her that
ho was irresistible among women by
reason of his good looks.
In announcing his decision, .Indee j
Bond said that from the evidence it ap
peared that Dr. Taylor had sought out
Miss Hogan for the sole purpose of
causing her social ruin; and after he
had done this by fraud and deception,
and tho use of intoxicating liquors, ii
j not by drugs, had unfeelingly east her
off without assistance, and even boast
ed of his disgraceful conduct.
'.Sucha man," tho judge added, "is
so vile that 1 have no pit3' for him in
his unfortunate condition."
.lodge Bond said that he regretted
Miss Hogan did not leave the punish
ment of her betrayer to"a higher power
than herself. As to tho possibility
that similar acts of personal vengeance
would follow tho probat inning of this
prisoner, the judge snid that such acts
were so rare-nono other having como
before birr, in the forty years Of bis ser
vico on tho bench-that he would take
the risk and order the release of the
prisoner on probatin.
\S ill Raise the Naine
Mr. .John T. Cavanagh, <?l t?nin**y, j
IlilS SU^gCStcd t<> tin* (jOVCl'IUllC'lll au
t hoi ?tics an ingenious plan for raising
thc wreck ol' thc .Maine in Havana har
bor.
For Home time pant there Ima been a
strong sentiment in favor of raising
thc .Maine, but ?lie difficulties of the
undertaking seemed almost insur
mountable.
Mr. Cavanagh'.", plan, however, has
been looked upon with much favor by
the authorities, and he has just sailed
for Cuba to see Gen. Wood and bid for
a contract to raise the wreck.
Mr. Cavanagh** scheme is a novel one
in the history of raising sunken ships.
lt is his intention, if he gets tho con
tract, to apply the juekscrew to lifting
the Maine.
His plan is to build two piers, about
twenty feet wide, ono on each side of
the Maine, to be constructed of heavy
oak piles, fora foundation, and a heavy
il_r i_. . ;. .
nuuiiufi Kj imei juin-.
After tho piers are built the next
step would be the construction of tho
lifting apparatus, which will consist of
a combine of jacks, stringers, trusses
and chains. The trusses, twenty-live
in number, are to be placed in position
!"..'""* th", piers anti above tho wt'uvk.
i ney will rest un stringer*extending
thc length of the piers. Beneath the
stringers, having a firm bearing on the
tops of the piers, the jackscrews are to
be placed. Heavy chains will benin
under thc wreck, if it is possible, and
if not they will he Inste ad to what
ever may alford a good hold. Then, by
the slow but sure power of the jack
screws, the !8sel can bo lifted out of
the water.
After the Maine has been pulled
from her ?bed of slime thu next step
will be to get her into the floating
dock, which is still in the harbor.
Once in tho d"ck it will devolve upon
tho authorities to say what will bo
done with the old battle ship. Con
tractor Cavanagh believes that it
might bo possible to so rehabilitate her
that in some way she might be brought
to this country. If it were found to bc
impossible to get her to this country
she might be beached ou the shores of
Cuba.
A Thriving Business.
South Carolina is a great State and
proposes to look after thc welfare of
her citizens. In order that there might
heno lack of the stuff* that destroys
body and soul our State Hoard of Con
trol ordered thu other day 15,000 barrels
of liquor and about thc same amount
put up ii. casi's, tho whole costing
about a halt million dollars.
No, indeed, then' shall be no lack if
tho State can help it. Liquor will bo
plentiful and convenient.
It may interest our renders to know
that business is looking up. The dis
pensary is enjoying the general pros
perity. Last year thc gross sales were
$1,788,435.00. The papera state that
for eleven months of this year tho sales
have mounted to $1,755,024.25-only
about $$1,000 less than the previous
twelve. We must remember that De
cember is the most profitable month in
the year for tho liquor business. Lnst
year wo did a business in December
amounting to $211,000 and those who
have tho welfare of tho dispensary at
heart expect to have a larger trade thiB
December, so our total sales aro likely
to run far beyond any previous year.
Aud wo must remember that the
"blind tigers" aro undismayed. They
stalk abroad., A friead who has just
returned from Charleston tells us that
they aro plentiful nnd are thriving in
comparative peace. All over the State
they aro pursuing their nefarious work
and thousands of gallons aro being
sold unlawfully.
Thia is tempernneo with a vengeance.
If the (.niseis making progress it is
going about it in a peculiar way. This
is indeed a great business for a great
Stato to be engaged in-selling to her
citizens two million dollars worth of
liquor a year.-A. li. Presbyterian.
Why John Allen Isn't In the Senate.
A number of prominent men in con
gress and otherwise in public life were
gathered at Chaniberlin's last evening,
says tho Washington Post, and the con
versation turned to the ups and downs
of politics, lu the party were Private
John Allen, of M Rsissippi.und Senator
Slump, of Idaho, both of whom have
just concluded unsuccessful senatorial
canvasses of their respectivo States.
..What's the matter down iii Missis
sisippi and out in Idaho?"' some ono
asked Representative Allen, .'that two
such brilliant men ns you and Shonp
do not seem to be wanted in the Son
ate i!"
"Well, now,'' drawled the Missis
sippian of famous wit, "Idaho is a long
way oft', and I enn't tell you much
about why Shonp got left; but 1 cnn
tell you about Mississippi; I know nil
about it." Then in a confidential
j whisper and with an air of imparting
j some startling secret, he added: "Mis
sissippi isn't sending her best men to
tho senate this year."
