THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. June 18, 1896. ii li 1 1 r, v, ii! 5 I 11 1 is V t I.I 1, I Art at the Cnlverslty. Lincoln, Neb., June 16. Among the many things of interest at the univer sity during: tne past week wm the ex hibition of student' work In the art rooms. When one i reminded that the work on the wallfl was not made for exhibition purposes, but selected at the close of the year from the folios of the different students, one ean better estimate what is being- done in this d e partment One of the most marked characteristics of the exhibition is the decided individuality shown in the work of the students. There is no quality so precious in the work of a student as originality and the consci entious instructor will always endeavor to develop it. Among those most worthy of mention are C C. Hull of Fremont, whose pencil drawing are especially clever; also Miss Myrtle Brown of Hastings, Miss Julia Lippin cott and and Miss Alice Clever of Lin coln. Opening Dy. Lincoln, Neb., June 16.

If un ripe problems are kept out of our plat form and we steer clear of all entangling alliances, wfc shall elect the next presi dent, or clear the ground, so that vic tory will be sore in 1900. If the men who know so much that they can learn nothing from the logic of events, run the St. Lonis convention, the day of deliver anco will be put off." Bedeviled Dnifwral", Reports from Minnesota indicate that our meetings are being more largely at tended than ever before and the enthu siasm in many places is at fever heat. Populists are not carried away by the cry for free silver, by the democratic party. Says J. u.

The Wonderful Improvement Under Pop- ulUt Kule. Sunday was spent by the Independ ent editor at tne penitentiary and tne insane asylum. The ladies of Lincoln, under the lead of Mrs. Angie Newman, gave all the inhabitants of both places a bouquet of flowers and a very unique en tertainment, in which a gentleman from India and his wife made addresses to the prisoners and patients. Mr. and Mrs. Ilahi Baknh are highly cultured people who have come to this country, he to study theology, she to study medicine. They are both great linguists. The gen tleman speaking seven languages, the lady thirteen. Mr. Ilahi Baksh sometimes hesitates for a word w hen speaking En glish, but his wife handles our language as if it were her native tongue. It was one Sunday, more than twenty years ago, tnat tne writer nrsi visitea the Nebraska penitentiary, being sent as a correspondent of a great daily paper. Then were the'.days of absolute republi can rule in this state, where a republican nomination in any part of it, was equiv alent to an election. There were no pops in those days, but the bad management of the penitentiary had reached the ears of the manager of the great daily and the writer was sent to investigate and report. He found that the prison had been located in a low, unhealthy spot, although beautiful wild, unoccupied land stretched out in every direction, because some of the -managers of the republican party owned the adjacent property, and it was thought that the location of the prison'there would put some money in these chaps' pockets. The prison (inside was a hell on earth Nobes was the assistant warden at the time and'he and the warden constantly inflicted the most f cruel and inhuman punishments upon the hapless prisoners, what was 'Called the "bull ring" being one mode of torture. A lively row resulted over the expos ure. The warden, we believe was re moved, and another, no better, was ap pointed. The prisoners at that time were a miserable look ing lot of creatures. Hatred and mutiny showed in evey line of their faces. There was a mutiny Low Special Mention "NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT.' shortly afterward, wben the prisoners 1 captured the prison and United States troops had to be Bent from Fort Omaha to quell it. Those were republican days, when re publicans had everything from constable to governor. How different are things at the prison now in these populist days. When the prisoners were marched in to hear the addresses and receive their flowers last Sunday, what a different set of men they were, under the wise and kindly manage ment of the populist Warden Leideigh. Bull rings and all modes of cruel punish ment are banished under his rule, and yet there is no disorder and no signs of mutiny. As the 300 prisoners marched into the hall, physically they were a fine body of men, being healthy and strong. It was about the same time that there was a big scandal at the insane asylum, and again the managing editor ordered us to visit it and write it up. It was in the same days of 'absolute republican rule. We found that the republican gang who ruled things then, had put a mau in charge who had never studied medi cine. He was a political doctor who had no diploma and never had one. There were but few patients in the hospitarat that time, and nearly one fourth of them were in irons, straight jackets or nnder some sort of physical restraint. We will never forget one patient, a young woman suffering from puerperal mania, who was confined in a straight jacket. Her piti ful moans haunted us for weeks after word. She was burning up with fever and that poor quack hadn't the slightest idea what to do for her. Those were republican days. Now, under the populist management and an excellent physician, doctor Abbott, straight jackets, handcuffs and other terrors of the republican rule of those days, are banished just as the bull rings have been at the penitentiary under the management of Warden Leideigh. Neither are there tons of coal charged up to the state during the hottest months of the year as was the case under the last years of republican rule, before Mr Rewick was appointed by a populist gov ernor to take charge of the supplies. Mrs. Newman's flowers, the music, and the thought of the blessings populist gov ernment had brought to the unhappy in mates of these two state institutions, made the day a happy one. Lincoln Notes. The next annual meeting of the Ma sonic Grand lodge will be held in Lincoln. In the divorcecase of Russel J. Brydon vs Laura A. Brydon, the court granted the decree to to the woman. Mr. J. M. Day, county attorney for Hamilton county, was in Lincoln last week. ' Wrt). Smith (colored) has made the quickest trip to the penitentiary yet re corded. He was arrested on Friday, had his preliminary hearing, was bound over to the district court. '1 he next day he was arraigned on the charge of robbery, plead guilty was sentenced and taken to the penitentiary at once, less than two days from the time he was captured. David R. Lillibridge, president of the Lincoln Business College, died on Friday of last week at bis home in this city. He had been ailing for several weeks but his condition had not been considered dan gerous. The autopsy Bhowed the cause of death to be blood poisoning from ab scesses of the liver.

Women work along, sewing with the needle, or wear ing themselves out on some timcworn and antiquated sewing machine when the most modern can be obtained at a price that is witbio the reach of the most humble. And there are some who cannot conceive it possible that a sew ing machine can be of any account un less it costs $50 to $60. This is a mis take, and we believe it our dutyvto our readers to explain that with improved machinery and the production of large quantities of the same style of machine, the cost is much reduced, and that in getting to the fountain head of supply, the profits of agents and dealers are avoided hence the consumer gets an ar ticle for a comparatively small sura, which heretofore was to be obtained only at a large outlay. We would in form our readers that there is being made and sold a sewing machine that fills all the requirements of the home or the dressmaking establishment, at a price ranging from $9.00 to $25, and that it is first-class article, new anil well made, having in its construction all the latest and best improvements, well fin ished and ornamented, and sold with manufacturers warranty for ten years. It is substantial, has positive feed, me chanism, runs light and will do the work that any sewing machine (however costly) can do, and do it as well. The Oxford Mdse Co., 300 Wabash ave nue, Chicago, ships this machine direct to the consumer, and we have pleasure in recommending them as a reliable and honorable firm. It may surprise some of our readers to learn that the Oxford Mdse. t'o., has sold and delivered during this year into the hands of the consumer, the enor mous number of 10,000 sewing ma chines, and that there are over 100,000 of these machines in the homes of the people at this time. That their merit is appreciated is evident in thousands of letters received by the company from grateful people who have taken advan tageof this opportunity. One writes "I have now had my Oxford machine three months, and have given it a fair trial at all kinds- of sewing, and can conscien tiously pronounce it equal, if not super ior,, to the $40 and $50 machines sold by agents." Another writes "One month today I received my Oxford Col umbia machine, and have given it a thor ough trial, and find it satisfactory in every respect. All of my friends think it a beauty. I find it equal in every way to the machine my mother bought last spring, for which she paid $55. I rec ommend the Oxford to anyone." And yet another writes "We have given your Bewing machine a fair trial, and find it excellent. I consider it one of the best machines I have ever seen. Equal in every respect to any of the machines sold by agents for $50 and $60." Such letters of praise being the unsolicited tes timony of intelligent people who appre ciate a good , thing, tell the story of a high grade article, sold strictly on its merits, at a low price direct from the factory. An interesting feature which this company inaugurated is tht free trial system, which has many recom mendations for the buyer and gives to those doubting or timid, the advantage of seeing and trying for 30 days the sewing machine before it is paid for. We cannot recommend too highly the liber ality of such dealings, as they may in spire confidencetaud we take this means to make it known to our readers, whose interests we always make it our busi ness to take care of. Every household in the land ought to have the catalogues of this company, and a postal card addressed to the Mdse., Co., 800 Wabash Avenue, Chicago, will bring the catalogue to you by return mail. They publish elegantly illustrated catalogues of their famous Oxford sew ing machines, also bicycles and baby carriages, and you should send for them at once and don'tforget to mention that you read it in the Independent. Re member that true economy can be prac ticed by buying the most we can with the means at our disposal, and consequent it' you buy for $20 what would otherwise cost you $60, you have $40 left for other needs.
