For Homo Consumption A Pure
lotted I-rtKcr lleer.
The above reward will bo paid to anyone
who cnn detect -any other Ingredients but
malt and hops In the tnanufacture of our
Lngcr Deer , our Natural Process Bottle Beer
or our Hospital Tonle.
A. GETTELMAN BREWING CO.
Acting by the company's order , a famous
expert chemist has made a careful analysis
of our beer , and he submit * to us the fol
lowing sworn statement as to the result ;
"A careful scientific analysis shows that
the beer contains 3.2 per cent alcohol , 7.1
per cent malt extract , and Is entirely free
from any npurlous substance. The analysis
further shows that the Gcntlotmtn Ilrowlng
Co. has used only malt and hops. The beer
Is strongly brewed , well fermented , thor
oughly seasoned nnd handled In the most
expert and approved manner. In quality and
flavor It Is equal to the best genuine Ba
varian and other famous European beers. "
Every connoisseur of beer well knows that
alcohol enlivens , carbonic acid gas refreshes ,
and malt extract nourishes. When these
three substances are found In a beer , as they
arc In our beer , then Its flavor Is natural and
the beer Is genuine , and consequently n
healthy beverage. Such beer IB pronounced
by eminent physicians , not only conduslvc
to health , but calming to the nerves , and a
valuable assistant In the process of digestion.
It Is not only a sure preventive of many
kinds of sickness , but may even become a
medicine.
The Gettclman Brewing Go's , establish
ment Is not the largest of our famous Mil
waukee breweries , but It Is In every respect
ono of the best equipped. It Is provided
with the latest Improved machines , utensils ,
etc. , and the constant endeavor of Its man
agement Is to bring the establishment to the
front by maintaining the purity and ex
cellence of Its product.
Five chemists located In Omaha have made
an analysis of our beer , with a vlpw of ob
taining the above reward , but they all ac
knowledge that they could find nothing but
malt and hops.

Interesting Coincidence * *
t'oniiectrd'\rltli the Day
"Tho most astounding coincidences ot
modern history arc associated with our
national anniversary , " wus a comment once
made by General Garllcld , little thinking
that ho was himself to furnish another of
those strange coincidences.
As John Attains was dying he murmured
feebly , "And Thomas Jefferson still sur
vives , " nnd Jefferson on that same day ,
realizing that death was near , was at pcaco
because his wish had been gratified and ho
had been permitted to survive until the- an
niversary of the Immortal event whose de
claration ho had penned ,
"General , how many presidents have died
upon the Fourth ot July ? " said Gcncr.il Gnr-
fltld to PostmnEtcr General James on that
anniversary In 1SS1.
"Three , Mr. President , " was General
James' reply , with difficulty mastering his
emotion , for ho feared that perhaps before
the sun had set upon that day a fourth
would b-j added to the list. Garllold , racked
with pain , looked , with pathos In his glanci : ,
Into the eyes of his postmaster general fern
n moment and then closed his own , ns
though In resignation to the dread which
there ho saw expressed.
The strange coincidence that Jefferson and
Adams should have both passed away upon
the fiftieth anniversary of the day when in
dependence was declared has been deemed
worthy of notice by even the most unim
aginative of historians. Jefferson was tin1
writer of the original draft of the declara
tion , but the committee- congress ap
pointed to revise this draft made some
slight changes , the Interlineations In the
handwriting of John Adams , Koger Sherman -
man and Benjamin Franklin being still
visible. The Instrument Is carefully pre
served In the State department at Washing
ton. While Jefferson was the writer and the
formulator of this Instrument , Adams was
the orator who defended It and pleaded
for It before the congress. Thus these two
men , more than any other of the great imn
of the revolutionary times , were Identified
with this , the most powerful written Instru
ment since Magna Chnrta.
After Adams retired from the presidency ,
not even waiting. It Is said , to receive with
courtesy hl successor , Jefferson , he re
turned to his home at Qulncy , his career ,
as he believed , being finished. He was tiien
65 years of age , and : as ho passed from the
youth of old age to the maturity of It he
took great Joy not only In watching the
development of the country and In criticis
ing the policy of the republicans , as Jeffer
son's party was then called , but especial ! }
was he gratified In the promise which hh
--on was then giving ! of continuing the lu-
fli'ence of the Adams name. Mr. Adams ,
unlike Jefferson , was possessed of sufllclcnt
wealth to be able to live In comfort. He
foresaw that his son might attain to the
presidency and lie earnestly prayed that he
might live long enough to see another
Adams president. When , therefore , In 1S25 ,
John Qulncy Adams became the president ,
twenty-four , after '
years his father's re-
llmiulshment of the office , the venerable
patriot declared that he was quite ready at
my time for the summons which would take
: ilm from earth. During the following year
Mr. Adams , feeling the Infirmities of age
and knowing that , he could not long sur
vive , became possessed of one earnest de
sire. Ho hoped thnt ho would ba spared
Icng enough to see the sun dawn upon the
Hftlcth anniversary of the Declaration of
Independence. The hope was * realized , nnd
It sseemed as though , being thus gratified ,
this great Intellect of the revolution cared not
to live throughout : the day. He expired
during the forenoon , almost his last words
being : "And Thomas Jefferson still sur
vives. "
TUB DEATH OF JEFEIISON.
Jefferson did survive , but only for a few
hours , for he was then dying. He , too , for
some months previous to this sonil-centen *
nlal anniversary had been filled with n desire ,
to close his eyes on that day. It seemed at
times as though life could not be contained
In his frail body as long as that , nut , when
the morning of the Fourth of July , 1820 ,
dawned , there came to Jefferson's counte
nance a look of serenity nnd exqul-ltc joy ,
and at that moment he began to yield his hold
on life nnd ceased breathing a few hour.- !
later. Neither of these great men haii
thought of this possible Impressive double
coincidence of that day , nor did the country
know of It until some days after , for com
munication was slow. If the deaths of these
two men had solemn and pathetic suggestion
by reason of this strange association with
the Immortal part they took In building anew
now republic , a double pathos Is added by
the story of Jefferson's closing years. He
was harassed by poverty. His fame was
of such fascination that thousands were at
tracted to his home at Montlcello , whom he
received with the characteristic hospitality
of his state. Sometimes the mansion was
a caravansary Its sixty beds being occupied
by eclf-lnvlted guests , the slaves being busy
with the care of .these psople and Jefferson's
farm being taxed for the provisions to sup
port them. Ho endured this with patience ,
although the horrors of debt were giving him
nights of misery. It came at last to the
point where to raise money. He was com
pelled to sell his library to congress , and
even that sum of $20,000 did not long stay the
disaster. In his extremity ho appealed to
the state of Virginia for a charter for a lot
tery In which his estate at Montlcello waste
to be the prize. Thus harassed , this noble
and conspicuous figure of the revolulkn passed
the evening of his days , and those who were
with him at the end have said that It seemed
as though the hope that ho might live until
the fiftieth Fourth of July and then be taken
away was the only measure of comfort which
ho had In this last year of his life.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT
The 1st ot August had come before the
people of the United States realized that
Jefferson and Adams had passed away upon
this semi-centennial anniversary. The an
nouncement produced a profound and solemn
Impression. It was regarded as an unmis
takable sign of providential Interference.
Preparations were made everywhere for me
morial services.
The spirit of 117G was stirred anew , and'
the story of that ( day of birth and of the
services of these two men upon that epoch-
making occasion wasi repeated till every man
and every child knew It as they knew the
tory of the scriptures ,
Erward Everett , ithcn In the first flush of
his fame as an orutnr , was Invited to deliver
a eulogy at Cambridge and Chancellor Kent
at New York , Hut the nation looked to one
man Daniel Webster as the sufficient eulo.
gist of these men .and the adequate com
mentator upon thai strange significance of i
their deaths upon itbls commemorative day , i
Webster was chosen to deliver the eulogy In <
Boston , and whenttbe nation heard of this
the people said : "It Is well ! " j
Webster's eulogy has become historic. It i 1
Is one of the greatest speeches of this orator. I i
It Is one of the American classics. Webster i :
was mightily Impressed by the coincidence i
of these double ilmihs , and as ho had been ' 1
a close student ( > [ ) the careers of Adams i
and Jefferson , and ( knew much of the secret I
motives , as well'as the public ones , which !
Inspired them whin they acted In union i
and when afterward they were separated on
national politics , ho was Inspired as he had
been on only one occasion before , and only
three or four times afterwards. He had a
magnificent audience , and a part of hi * eu
logy has been made familiar to every sclioo'
boy In the land ,
TliiU part begins with the words "Sink or
swim , live or die , survive or perish , " Prob
ably nlno out of ten of those who have
spoken those lines , or who now recall them ,
are of opinion thnt It was part ot an oration
delivered by John Adams on the extension
when the Declaration of Independence was
laid before congress. Thnt , however , Is not
the truth. The words are those of Webster ,
nnd not ot Adams ; the orator made use of
them to suggest what Adams might have
said while Hum speaking. The diction , the
thought , the peculiar mental mannerism were
so suggestive of John Adams that the quo
tation was tliqn and has been since quite
generally accepted ns an extract from ono
of Ills speeches.
THE DEATH OF JAMES MONKOE.
Flvo years after the death of Adams and
Jefferfon another ex-president passed itway ,
Jnme-H Monroe , after his retirement from the
presidency , went to New York City to live.
Mr. Monroe was financially embarrassed ;
more than thnt , he was In actual poverty.
He had thought to take up the practice of
law In New York City , but he found that
his health nnd his age were serious obsta
cles to professional success. Not even his
prestige as an ex-prcsldent served to bring
him clients. He lived with his son-in-law ,
who was postmaster of New York , and who
through mismanagement or for some other
reason , went under a financial cloud. He
was even accused of financial Improprieties.
The cx-prcsldont lived the life of n recluse
In New York , his proud spirit humiliated by
the embarrassments of poverty and by the
sorrows which came to his family. Many
citizens of New York were not aware that
the ex-president had taken up his residence
In that city , and the first Intimation that
they had that ho had been living among
them was the announcement of his death.
Ho died on the Fourth of July , 1831 , after a
short Illness. Ho , too , knowing that his end
was near , prayed that ho might survive until
the nation's anniversary , and he seemed
content when , on the afternoon of that day ,
they told him that he had but a few mo
ments moro to live.
Mr. Monroe was burled In a little cemetery
In the heart of Now York , , nnd there his
remains rested practically unmarked and un-
honored for nearly twenty years. At last ,
In response to a sentiment created In Vir
ginia , the remains were removed and taken
by the steamship Ericsson to Richmond ,
where they were Interred In the Hollywood
cemetery , nnd there a very plain shaft marks
their final resting place.
SOME OTHER COINCIDENCES.
Chief Justice Marshall , who did moro per
haps than any other person of his time to
give permanence and explanation and ju
dicial determination to the constitution , and
who had served as chief Justice for thirty-
five years , lay upon his death bed on July 4 ,
1835. Those about him thlight ( he would ex
pire on that day , and he would have been
content to have It so. He lingered , how
ever , breathing his last upon the morning of
July C.
President Zachary Taylor was smitten
with mortal disease upon July 4 , 1850. Upon
that day the corner stone of the Washing
ton monument was laid , and the president
took chief part In these ceremonies. Ex
posed with bare head to the glare of a Wash
ington midsummer sun , he was somewhat
overcome by the heat. Heturnltig to the
white house In that condition he ate with
Imprudence , and that night took to bed ,
which he never left. A few days later Presi
dent Taylor passed away.
GAUFIELD'S LAST FOURTH OF JULY.
On the morning of the Fourth of July ,
1881 , General Garfleld asked the attendant to
push the curtain aside n little so that he
might look out upon the day. The physi
cians had been with him all night , were
with him then. The anxious family were
in adjoining rooms In dread of a summons
which might call them to the bedside of
the dying president. The physicians watched
with keenest eye each cymptom. They
were fearful of a secondary hemorrhage and
If that came Garfleld would speedily pass
away. The streets of Washington were
hushed. Ityas a morning of sadness and
not of commemorative Joy. The gloom ot
the tomb seemed to settle upon the capital.
People walked hither and thither with si
lent , apprehensive tread , as though fearful
that their footsteps might make disturbing
noise. The sound of the cannon and the
cracker was not heard. Many persons re
mained In their houses all day , being
In no mood for festival. Anxious throngs
gathered around the elm tree In the
white house yard , whereon were posted fre
quent bulletins , and after reading them
turned away smiling sadly and saying :
"Thank God , he still lives. " In the early
afternoon members of the cabinet called and
saw their chief for a moment , and It was
then that the president said to General
James : "How many presidents have died on
the Fourth of July ? "
When the evening came and the doctors
bulletined their hopeful messages that the
president had passed the second crisis well ,
the city gave way to a strange , subdued ,
silent yet mightily Impressive demonstration
of joy.
GENERAL JOE JOHNSTON'S SUGGESTION
When General Joseph E. Johnston was
serving as a member of congress the writer
had a chat with him upon some incidents
of the civil war , In which he served so con
spicuously as a confederate general. General
Johnston was a most Intimate friend of
General Sherman , and those two brilliant
warriors , who had faced each other so oftei.
on the field , used to meet quite frequently
and talk over the times of the great con-
filet , and Genpral Johnston said In the con
versation with the writer that both Sherman
and himself agreed that the war should have
ended Immediately after the Fourth of July ,
1S03.
It Is impossible now to quote General John
ston's precise words , yet what he said can
be reported with substantial accuracy. Said
he : , ,
"Tho climax ot the civil war was reached
upon the Fourth of July , ISliS. The fate of
the confederacy was then determined , at
luist from the military point of view. Tint
Is General Sherman's opinion ; I bellevo It
Is the opinion of General Grant , and 1 know
It is the view of every military officer of
high rank who commanded In the southern
armies. At least It is the opinion of all with
whom I have talked about the matter. It
was an extraordinary coincidence that the
fate ot that effort to establish a new gov-
crrment would have been simultaneously
determined In the great west nnd upon the
Atlantic slope , battles a thousand miles
apart. Had Lee been victorious at Gettys
burg , with Grant a victor nt Vlcksburg , or
had Grant been repulsed at Vlcksburg , and
Leo beaten at Gettysburg. It would have
still remained a military question. Had Leo
won at Gettysburg nnd the confederate
forces repulsed and beaten urant's army at
Vlcsburg , from the military point of view
the confederacy would undoubtedly have
been established.
"Vlcksburg was the key of the west ; every
military man know that. When that city
fell It opened up the entire west to the
union armies , and the entire southwest s
well. It hemmed the confederate forces
Into a llttlo strip between the Blue Rldgo
mountains nnd the sea. On the other hand ,
Leo staking everything at Gettysburg ,
staked the only means ot concentrating re-
sletanco to the approach ot the federal west
ern armies. He lost ; Vlcksburg fell , and there
wn not a man worthy of the nume of General
upon the confederate side who did not then
know that the military demonstration of the
south was doomed to failure , yes , had failed.
In my opinion It was useless to continue the
struggle. It meant only useless loss of
lives , unnecessary waste of property and
causeless suffering. "
The writer nuked General Johnston If It
had pvcr occurred to him that It was , If not
significant , at least a striking coincidence
nignest Honors-World's hair.

the victory of ( lottysburg was being BO mag

noon dispatches containing the simple an
nouncement , "Vlcksburg lias surrendered to
General Grant. " The excitement and en
thusiasm were only excelled when a year
and n half later there came the news of
Appomattox.
TUB COINCIDENCE OF OREGON.
The state of Oregon has perhaps special
reason or a double reason for celebrating
with enthusiasm the Fourth of July. It
was nt one time very doubtful whether the
Oregon territory , which Is now divided up
between the states of Oregon and Washing
ton , would bo In the possession of the
United States or of Great Ilrltaln. The
two countries had been In dispute for many
yenra respecting the ownership. Prof. Mc-
Master , In a recent paper , declares that one
of the most romantic chapters of American
history Is thnt one which tells the story of
ho\v the United States at last came Into
possession of this magnificent empire of the
runcto northwest. McMastcrs says thnt In IMS
Marcus Whitman , a missionary sent by the
Methodist board of missions to carry the
bible to the Flnthcad Indians , who had sent
n delegation to St. Louis to get "tho white
man's bible , " crossed the mountains and
entered the Columbia valley. A year Inter
he was sent bnck with his Wife , and In his
company were II. I. Spauldlng and his wife ,
and these were the first white women who
had ever crossed the Hocky mountains. Then
Chicago was a village of 100 people ; then
the railway locomotive was Just beginning
to bo seen on n few miles of Iron strap rail
way In the east. Many years later the first
railway train entered Chicago. This little
party of missionaries met the first White man
born In Cincinnati. The missionaries went
on the South Fork by way of the Laramle ,
and entered the South Pass , which furnished
for years afterwards the only way of np-
preach to Oregon for the thous.inds of emi
grants from the cast. Here Is the Great Di
vide ; here a traveler can stand and hurl a
stone into the headwaters of the Yellow
stone , which ultimately finds Its way to the
Gulf of Mexico , and , easting his pebble to
the west , It will strike the Columbia river ,
which empties Into the Pacific.
On the Fourth of July , 1830 , the mis
sionary , Whitman , stood upon this spot
and looked over Into Oregon , and McMaster
says : "When Whitman reached this spot
he recollected the day and the work which
lay before him , and he paused a short way
down the Pacific slope , called on the party
to dismount , raised the American nag , and
while they all kneeled around the bible ,
ho , with prayer and praise- , took possession
of the western continent In the name of
Christ and His church. "
The story of the negotiations and the con
ventlons which resulted in the rellmiulsh-
ment by Great Hrltian of Its claim to Oregon
gen Is too long here to be narrated , but In
the main the claim or the United States
rested upon the discovery of this nobio
territory thus taken Ini the name of the
church by Whitman upon the Fourth ot
July.
