CHICAGO , Sept. 14. Fred Lewis , n joung
farmer from near Norfolk , Neb. , has clipped
the claws of the Chicago tiger. He stopped
In this tlty on his way enst to bo married.
While seeing the town he was robbed of $100 ,
leaving htm Just $5 to make the trip to his
fUnceo's homo and claim her as his bride.
lie made a desperate resolution to lift himself -
self out of his dlinculty With the remaining
$5 ho decided to go against the Chicago
tiger. If ho won ho would proceed cast and
bo married. If he lost no would commit
Bulcldo.
After two nights and a day at Gcorgo
( Hanklns1. 6 Plymouth place , ho iiult a winner
by $1,700 , Then he got some needed sleep
and went on his way rejoicing.
It was on Krldiy morning last that young
Jjflwls arrived In Chicago. Ho had a few
hours to spare on bis way to the eastern
city and took a stroll through the "le\ee"
district. It was the Bamu old story. He
was enticed Into a house In Clark street and
before ho know It was robbed of the $400.
Ho made an effort to recover the stolen
money , but wai unsuccessful. Ho thought
of his sweetheart was nearly crazed by
hla Ions and his Inability to roach the
woman ho loved.
With $5 In his pocket ho wandered about
the streets , and early Friday evening he
found himself In front , of George Hanklns'
gambling bouso. There he was accosted by
a "capper. " who told him that all games
were running upstairs He entered the
placa , resolved to win or loao his remaining
, $5 and then kill himself.
He walked up to the table where a num
ber of men were playing cra | , and placed
a. dollar on the lino. He won once , twice.
and three times. Then with a reckless
Abandon he began to play for big stakes.
Matiagor Barton , thinking he had a man
/with plenty of money , considerately removed
the limit and allowed the stranger to make
his bets as largo as ho pleased. Fortune
favored the countryman , and he continued
.to win.
All Friday night , all day Saturday and
Saturday night until 4 o'clock Sunday morn-
jiig howls stood at the crap table At one
time be wan n winner to the extent of $2.500
Then his luck turned and at 1 o'clock Sun
day morning his winnings only amounted to
1,700. The dice were running against him ,
and his phj steal endurance had reached the
limit.
Almost dead for sleep and unable longer
to continue the game , ho pocketed his $1,700
And quit.
Before leaving the house Lewis Invited
Manager Barton to Join him in a bottle of
wine. Then ho contldcd to the manager his
Jiard luck story. He told him how he had
entered the house with but $5 , arid the
manager , thinking ho had a "sucker , " had
.staked the entire bank roll of the hotue
against an Insignificant $5.
Sunday Lewis took a Lake Shore train for
the east to wed hli fiancee Flo was the
happiest man In the world , but refused to
give the name of the towui where his pros
pective bride resides

LINCOLN , Sept. 14 ( Special. ) The sec-
id day ot the Grand Army reunion shows
a largely Increased attendance. It would ba
lllllcult to estimate tliu number now In
camp , as more come In on every train. A
najorlty of these occupy the tents , although
many prefer to find lodging In the city , and
spsnd the days on the camp grounds There i
ire a number of state headquarters , fitted
up with reception rooms , registration books ,
and portraits of soldiers and statesmen.
S'otablo among these are the headquarters
of Illinois , Indiana , Iowa , Wisconsin ,
J'ennsylvaola , Kansas , Missouri , Ohio and
? > Jew York.
Today was "Nebraska Day , " and the speak
ing was held In the exposition ball , which
lolds about 2.GOO people. The room wca
liackcd , but as the weather was nncom-
'ortably warm , It was hard to keep the people
ple quiet , and there was a loud hum ot
voices that Interfered very much with the
speaking Chairman Krhardt read telegrams
from Congressmen Greene and Stark , an
nouncing their Inability to bo present. A
letter from Senator Allen v.as also read , the
first part of which told of his partlclpitloa
In the war and devotion to thu old soldiers.
It continues.
For those who honestly served In the
snmo great , just nnd holy cause , whntevei
: helr station In life m ly be , or may have
icon , 1 have strong feelings of affection
ikln to those existing between brothers ,
notwithstanding on political questions wo
may widely disagree. Men capibla of racrl-
Iclng personal convenience and risking
lieiilth and life In the accomplishment of u
jreat cause In the Interest of the race are
too broad-minded , sensible and patr.otle to
cavil -with others who performed a like
rvlco respecting their political opinions.
The war lor the union was fought on the
ihoory thut ours Is a national government
nnd th.it this Is an Irtsepirnble union of
Indestructible states , and that a state hav
ing entered the union becomes an Integral
portion thereof and cannot throw oft or
abandon Its allegiance it any tlmo u ma
jority of Its citizens imy .so declare. This
ia the Mettled doctrine of our country. Wu
aio not only a federal union , but a. nation ,
mul our government possesses , and can
exercise for the common good all the
power that any other national government
can rightfully exercise.
BATTLING FOU THE RIGHT.
Thirty-two years have pissed Into eternity
since the close of the war In which vve
seived toqe'lier and the mustering out of
the \olunteer army und navy. Those who
were then mere striplings have become
gray-headed men and In the west have en
countered ihe hardships , privations and ex
periences of a long , useful and active
pioneer life. It must have Impicssed Itself
on all that with our retirement from the
army -we did not cense to bo charged -with
duties md responsibilities of a very high
order and an important character. The
same cause that Impelled our enlistment
and Induced us to cncountci the hardships
and experiences of a soldier's-life , namely ,
the preservation and protection ot the
union , has doubtless induced us to perform
our duty as citizens to the best of our
ability. In making more secure the founda
tions of civilization and In strengthening
the government wherever , In our judg
ment , It may have needed stiengthenlng
It would not bo possible for us to cease
battling for good goveinment after the close
of the war , thus ubindonlug our duty on
the very eve of victory. Such a course
could only bo regarded as sheer madness.
A keen nnd perfect sense of the duties of
citizenship would lead us to the conclusion
that i o long as llfo lasts we should give of
our strength and Influence to the cause of
a government founded on popular liberty.
Only by Its citizens pursuing such n. course
can the government lie preserved and trans
mitted to posterity unimpaired. If we
should full to perform our duties as citizens
and thu cause of popular liberty be thereby
Imperiled or made ! less secure , the evil con
sequences to ensue would rest with us
Doubtless at the present time and in the
past we are and have been pursuing a
course that has met the approval of our
consciences and our judgments.
Among the many rights guaranteed the
American people by the constitution Is that
of free speech and the Hunt to honestly
act , think and speak , on iolltical and other
questions affecting the welfare of mankind
as we may see proper , so long as we do not
Intieiich on , m Interfeio with , thu like
rights of others If we keep within this
line we are enjoying a part of the liberty
for which we nnd our fathers contended ,
and wo must accord to all the right to act ,
think und .speak for themselves.
ALL ON OND FOOTING.
I may be permitted to say that I shall In
the future , as I have In the past , use every
reasonable and honest effort to advance the
Interests of the soldiers and sailors of this
state and nation. I have during the In
cumbency of my present olllce had under
consideration 90S pension o.if-en at the
Bureau of Pensions , many of which have
been granted , besides having Introduced
and secured the passage of many private
blllft. I have trcnuously contended on the
door of the United State.s senate , nnd shall
continue to do so. that all who honorably
performed llko service In the cause of the
Union should bo equally rewarded In the
Blunting of pensions , und thnt the nitlflciul
distinction between huslnnds , made neces
sary by the existence of a state of war
shall not continue lietween their widows
ifter the war closed nnd each took his
station In the rankof cltUonc. I shall
emnestly continue this line of advocacy un
til such nn odlouo distinction shall have
ceased to exist In the United Stntoa. The
wife nnd children of a private soldier who
performed merltoilous and honest services
for his country nnd risked llfo and limb at
a time when the government needed him ,
should be rewarded equally with the wife
and children of thos-o who received higher
pay , greater honor and emoluments dining
the short pcilod such distinction existed
To all I extend a greeting nnd godspeed
In life's Journey. Very truly yours In F. ,
O. and L. WM. V , ALLL'N.
CONGRESSMAN STRODE SPEAKS.
Congressman J. D. S'rodo was the first
speaker. Ho gave a review of the causes that
led to the war , and said that the greater part
of the army that marched to the front In
1801 was In tho"oternal camp today , lie dis
cussed the war as It affected Nebraska , and
followed the state through Its formation of
a state government and admission Into the
union , eulogizing Marquette and Thayer as
two of Its greatest patriots. The part of
present patriotism wns to "stand up for
Nebraska. " The state had Increased in popu.
latloa from 50,000 In 18G7 to over a million In
1S97. It lias grown Into a great common
wealth since the war. U was being built up
at the tlmo Den Wade said : "I am In favor
of homes for the homeless , rather than nig
gers for the nlggorlCEs , " In 1870 the state
raised 7,000,000 bushels of corn ; In 18SO
US.OOO.OOQ ; In 1890 , 180,000,000 , and In 1897
fully 300,000,000 hushels , In 1S70 there wcro
298 school houses In the state , and now there
are 7,000 , thu Btate having the lowest per
centage of Illiteracy among all the states.
The apeaker thought we ought to stand up
for and to proud of the state. This would
bo true patriotism. Ho said there wore
many slnceio people who preach and profess
patriotism , but Uio true patriot Is the ono
who practices an well as preaches.
After a song by the Qleo club , which waa
made up of old soldiers , and which made up
In energy and enthusiasm what It lacked In
musc | , W. J , Bryan was Introduced as the
nuxt speaker.
UKVAN AND THE SOLDIER.
Mr. Hrvon said ho was to have taken part
In the program on Thursday , but finding that
ho would bo unable to bo present at that
tlmo had come to make a little talk today.
Ho thought , however , that on occasions like
this It was proper for Ihoso to speak who
took part In the war , fattier than those who
worn born too late to enter the great strug
gle. Wo can look back upon tbo little ton-
test In which we have been engaged and
Und how small It was compared with tbo
civil war the greatest war of history. The
war wa great , because conquered enemies
had been converted Into permanent friends ,
and the greatest cjuestlou that has ever
arisen In the history of the nation had been
keltled forever , We are now parts of a
gieat nation , and whatever a majority of the
people decide , whether wo as Individuals
like It or not. Is the law of the land. The
glory of the latu war groa brighter as the
vturs go on , and the leading flgurea grow
morn conspicuous , the one great central flu-
lire being Abraham Lincoln , who U now re
vered by north and touth alike , Mr , Dryau
rrfcrrod to Mr Strodo's definition of patriotIsm -
Ism and fald ho was glad that the word was
broad enough to Include some besides those
who actually fought In the war. The patriot
wax n man who fought the battles of his
country , whether they be fought with bullets
or with arguments U was Important to
win our liberties , and Just as Important to
preserve them. "If a man hasn't a chance
to die for his country , Isn't It glorious to bo
able to live for It ? "
RAIN ON THE CAM ! ' GROUND.
After this speech there was more singing by
the glee club and th" afternoon program was
ended , the sham battle and one or two other

Ing shower fell at 3 o'clock , laying the dust

LINCOLN , Sept. 14. ( Special. ) In dispos
ing of the school land leases by auction th1
commlssfoncr of public lands and buildings
has found onu singular case , which Illus
trates how unlucky some men cm bo .mil
nt the same tlmo shows the great value of
farms In some parts of the state A man
down In Ncmaha county leased forty .icroi
of school land In 1S7S , paying an annual
rental of $10. lie Kept up his payments until
1815 , when he concluded that It would be
cheaper for him to ullow the lease to become
delinquent , and 'lien when It was put up for
a new tenant take It again himself. Theio
was about $40 back on the land and a few
days ago the lease w-.is put up at .inc'Ion.
The man got the Und a aiu , ut h.i waa um- (
pelled to pay n bonus ot ? 300 , so snsip wts
the bidding. A month ngj ho could 1 rvo
hold the forty acres bv paying up iho $40.
One of the citizens of Lincoln who has been !
looking Into the matter says. "A great dealt |
of the campaign material being sent out j
from the popocratlc hwdiiuartors Is babcd I
upon the fact that In the last six or eight-
months state warrants ha\e gone from 91
cents up to pir , and they claim all the credit
to the present state administration. The re
publicans of Lancaster county meet this ar
gument by pointing to the fact that during
the same time Lincoln city warrants have
risen to 1 per cent premium , whc'eas last
year while the free slher campaign was at
Its height these warrants could not bo slid I
at any price. The reason was that nobody1
had any money to Invest In tint manner , | i
with the risk ot getting It back In EO-ccut' '
dollars. The republican leaders assert that'
the ilso In the price of warrants Is duo to
