Among the thrifty people who make up
the population of Nebrafka arc large num
bers of Scandinavian and (Jertnan born.
Whether as farmers or artisans, followlug
lines of trado or profession, the man who 9

way. Sweden. Denmark or Germany, is
Kenorally regarded as an excellent citizen.
Ho Is cautious, conservative, rends much.
thlnkM much and Idles but little. He Is
loyal, patriotic and icalous of his adopted
country's welfare and honor, as he was of
his native home. When the country thrives
ho adds to his modeit or law competency
- and ho generally knows when ho Is well
off. ,
Sometimes ho Is called obstinate and
thnt la because ho has not been convinced.
Ho has n way of thinking for himself that
makes the average politician perplexed.
Ilo lots no one decide for himself, because
ho feels tho responsibility of citizenship.
In rnllglon, If he bo a Gorman, ho Is either

exceptions, Methodist, Ilnptlst or Presby

n very few exceptions, a Lutheran. He
Hoes net bwlng from tho standard of re

solid character tends to permanency rathor

settled convictions.
The j- An- I'rospcroiiM.
A survey of this class of Nebraska cltl
r.cnshlp during recent weeks gives proof
that almost without exception they are
prosporous. Testimony Is dn every hand
to prove that they aro uwaro of the good
times and arc enjoying them to tho fullest
extent. It Is a striking fact that whenever
ho prospers tho church of his faith pros
riers. Tho testimony of the ministers or
priests of his church regarding tho pros

that witnesses his advantage and prollt
Hoccntly tho Kvaogolical Lutheran uynod
of Ncbraeha held Its annual session In
l'nwneo City. That Hynod Is one of tho
liodlcn of tho Lutheran church and, whilo
Its church services aro conducted In tho
English language, it in closely related to
tho German and Scandinavian forces of tho
ntate. In fact tho members of tho con
grcgatlon that go to mnko up the synod
nro either Gormnns and Scandinavians who
t-tpenk Kngllsh or tho children of such who
nock church fcorvlces in tho recognized
tonguo of this, their adopted or native
rountry. Tho ministers of that synod when
speaking of tho condition of tho tlmos
speak with nuthorlly. They aro mainly
from tho rural districts and their work Is
nuscoptlblo to tho slightest change In times
us thoy affect tho farmers of tho state.
Of tho members eompoBlng the body thero
was not a minister who had a discouraging
report to make. These reports were filled
with encouraging Items nil through. The
contributions for tho benevolent work of
tho church this year showed an Increase of
over 30 per cent and over tho contributions
of 1S36 an Increase of over 70 per cent.
Tho coitrlbutlon for gcnoral church work,
such us Improvement, building, current ex
penses, etc., showed nn Increase over that
of last year of 1C0 per cent and over that
of 1S98 an lucronso of 300 per cent,
t'h 11 r ch Iniprovi'tnrti ts.
The major portion of tho lncreaso cams
from tho churches of rural communities,
ludlcatlng that tho pcoplo win supported
tho churches were In it nioro prcsporou3
condition than they had been for years.
In addition to this, money was raised for
building parHonages and for special funds
of tho church nt largo. So prosper. us were
many of tho churches that thoy nit only
raised their assessments for tho bcnovol n
work of tho church, Buch as homo and
foreign missions, church extension, d"a
cocoes' work and educational depurtmunts,
but they even exceeded them. As thoso
contributions represent tho surplus of
moneys received over current expenses, ho
excess for benovolcnco Is potent testimony
to tho prosperity of the people.
Tho personal testimony of tho various
ministers In attendance at tho synod was
all In favor of the encouraging outlook and
tho excellence of tho work accomplished
during tho past year. A tow of thoso will
t.ufllco to show tho trond of opinion among
tho Scandinavian and German citizens of
Nebraska, ns woll us to demonstrate the
feeling of tho pcoplo regarding any c.hungo

of the Nebraska Synod nnd pas cr of G.aco
Lutheran church, Omaha, said: "Wo have

since everybody seemed to havo enough.
Tho Improvements that I witnessed on the
farms, such a now barns, new houses, now
sheds, etc., were emphatic Indication that
tho farmers wero prospering. I am suro
thut tho prevailing sentiment of our peoplo
n Nebraska is in fuvor of continuing
present conditions. Wo do not want a
change. Tho policy of the sturdy Nor
wegian, Swede, Dane and German Is to let
well enough alone. I also find that the
peoplo aro not frightened by tho cry of ita
perlallsm. They know what Imperial am
Is, and tho warnings that aro sounded for
political effect do not persuade them to
any Interest. As one of tho prominent
Germnn citizens of Kontauello told mo, tha
foreign-born population do not dread an
army of one soldier to every thousand
people. The heavy taxes for maintaining
standing army aro not Imposed here as
In Germany. Even tho additional burden
of tho Spanish and Philippine, wars
through wh'ch wo havo gono has not
addid any perceptible weight to tho taxe
which the peoplo are more than willing to
pay. Tho farmers aro receiving gord prices
for their products and they aro BatlsnVd
with tho splendid conditions of things."
Cumliiliiux NfMcr Ilrtter.
Itcv. W. A. Llpe, pastor of tho Lutheran
church In Tonca, Mild: "My church Is
located in a district where tho German
people abound. I find the people prosperous
and contented. I havo been working In nnd
noout .Nenraska for over aauartcr of a
century, nnd I hovo never witnessed con
ditlons as prosperous as they are now. Our
peoplo have money now, where four years
ago thoy almost lacked for food and cloth
ing. Farmers havo money to loan now,
whero four years ago thoy wero compelled
to borrow at exorbitant rates of Interest
Prices for farm products are good and tho
peoplo of Nebraska benoflt by this. Keep
tho mills of tho east open, tho wnrklngmcn
busy ami there will bo nn Increased demand
for tho products tho Nebraska farmer has
to sell."
Uev. W. W. Hess, pastor of Trinity
Lutheran church, Beatrice, said: "My
church Is Just recovering from tho hard
years through which the country has gono.
Wo havo mado a decrease In tho liidebted
ness of our church, increased our contrlbu
tlon to a larger sum than ever before, and
In addition havo made Improvements in our
church. The peoplo who support my work
aro lurgely of German and Scandinavian
nativity and lineage, nnd they recognize tho
value of tho good times we aro having. All
through Gago county I find n hopeful seutt
ment. I am suro that the prosperity wo aro
enjoying is real and not llctltlous. I find
tho cvldenco too weighty to doubt It."
Ilev. Edward V. Trofz, pastor of Kountzo
Memorial church, Omaha, snld: "My peo
plo tell mo that our church had tho best
year In a decade. Contributions along all
lines have Increased. Needed ropnlrs to
tho amount of about $5,000 aro under woy,
Our church Is prospering becauso tho peo

that the peoplo of Nebraska seem to havo

that held a curnlval made a success of it.
Tho pooplo havo money to spend. Church
work Is consequently prospering. When
tho people havo money churches can hope
to progress. Thoy nro tho first to feel tho
effects of hard times and the last to ro
cover. Will It continue thus? I hopo so
I um suro thut I havo grave, doubts that
prosperity will bo with us if thero is
chango in tho administration. I um not
trusting men this year who failed to dlng-
noso tho enso four years ago. Tho ou!y
Imperialism I fear Is the imperialism of
hunger. May the Lord save us from tho
omplro of poverty, to which tho most o
us wero forced to yield In those depressing
years from 1893 to 1S9C. Do wo want tho
repetition of them? It Is n fresh memory,
Mcu with dark faces nnd darker thoughts
bogging for work, women and children
forced to sell themselveB to the devil and
dishonor for tho prlco of food nnd raiment
or starve. Do I draw tho pleturo too
darkly? I think not. Thoso four years
beginning (n 1S93 and not ending until tho
middle of 1&97, wero too horrlblo to forgot,
I do not think thero Is any doubt but that
I'rcsldont McKlnley's administration Is n
tho bottom of the good times. I trust that
thero will bo no chango."
Hov. A. U. Learner, pastor of the Luth
eran church at West Point, said: 'My
tho present prosperous condition of the
country is not Imaginary."
Uev. P. O. Tonslng, pastor of tho Luth
eran church In Hardy, said: "What do I
think about our prosperity? It Is tho
greatest thing thnt ever struck tho coun
try. I am amazed at tho speedy recovery
of Nebraska pcoplo from the blighting in
fluences ot 1S96 and two or three years
prior. Nuckolls county is thriving, ns far
as I can see, nnd I have driven all over
tho county. Our church work Is growing
nd I havo Just laid the cornerstone, ot a
ow church a few miles out from Hardy.
It is in a farming community and money Is
sufficiently abundant to build tho church
without any Indebtedness. The times are
good and our prosperity is as real ns truth
Itself."

Hcv. Luther P. Luddcn, pastor of Grace
Lutheran church, Lincoln, Is ono ot the
most popular ministers in Nebraska. He
is known all over the stato as a refined,
scholarly and eloquent preacher nnd num
bers his friends by thousands. Tho bus
iness men of tho stato as well ns the farm-
urs nnd worklngmen havo the profouudest
confldcnco in what ho says. No man's
testimony could bo weightier. Ho said
Without a doubt tho peoplo of Nebraska
aro enjoying tho most prosperous times
they over had. Our church work Is flour
ishing and In my own parish I am now
building a church thnt will soon bo com
pleted If the prosperous times continue.
Our Scandinavian and German people are
enjoying their share of good times. Thsy

Lntely I havo visited McCool Junction,
whero I organized n, church. Tho settle
ment Is mado up almost entirely of Ger
mans. I went around n few days and.
without any effort, I l.ilsed $2,500 for a
church building. Don't tell mo that there
is anything Imaginary about tho present
prosperity."
Visiting the synod was Ilev. George
Sehall. D. D., of Haltlmorc. Md., general
secretary of tho Foreign Mission board
of tho Lutheran church. Ho said: "1
never know tho country to be in so pros
perous condition before. Everywhere I go
and I havo visited almost every state In
tho union this summer and fall I sco the
Indisputable, evldcnco of prosperity. Our
foreign mission work felt the effects of it
as early ns 1S98, but wo did not feel the
full weight of prosperity until this year,
Four yours ago wo had tho blues. Con
tributions full off nnd wo wero in debt;
times were terrible. Now wo havo about
tecovcred. Contributions havo Increased
and wo have sudlclent money to carry on
tho work. I havo Just como from tho Ger

thero havo nothing but good things to re

"I havo Just returned from a canvass of
tho Lutheran church of Nebraska for funds
for tho stmlnnry endowment and I must
confess that my efforts met with gratify
ing success. This, no doubt, Is owing to
tho prosperous condition of our poople.
I received tho greatest aid from tho Ger

aro doing splendidly and on every hand I
hoar of prosperity and prosporous condi
tions." Ilev. Samuol D. Darnitz, D. D., western
secretary of homo missions of tho Luth
eran church, who attended the synod, said:
"I never saw the west, nnd particularly
Nebraska, so prosporous before. Times aro
splendid; docs not seem that they could be
better. Our homo mission work has fully
recovered from tho depressing times In
lS'JG and prior to that. Then wo could not
pay our missionaries. Our treasury was
empty nnd wo wero heels over head In
debt. We did not daro to undertake any
new mission points, for tho outlook was 00
gloomy thnt wo could not hopo for money
to pay for tho work when undertaken. Now
conditions aro vastly different. Wo havo
money to pay our missionaries whenever

Four years oeo books on colnago were
In constant demand during tho tow mouths
preceding tho election, but buch Is not
the case at present. Seekers ot political
Information rely on tho papers nnd maga

given to tho administration's foreign policy
by tho llryun advocates has Inspired much
reading concerning tho Philippines. Wor

HoohcvoU in a Favorite.
Of tho men who are heading tho differ
ent political tickets, Colonel Hoosovelt
seems to bo tho favorite with tho reading
public. His "Hough aiders," which gives
an account of tho famous regiment's ex
perience In Cuba, has been more generally
rend than any other book on tho Spanish
war. Although Colonel Roosevelt and his
books wero In high favor before ho was
nominated tor vice president, ho now seems
to be tho hern of the hour with all classes
of readers. Calls for his biography come
from young and old alike. For the timo
being he has displaced Davy Crockett, Gen
oral Custer nnd other idols of young
Americans. Ilomnntlo novels are not
sought moro eagerly than Colonel Itoose
elt's life.
Colonel Roosevelt's latest work, "Llfo
of Oliver Cromwell," which was published
serially In Scrlbner's magazine, ha3 been
received at the library In book form and
promises to take a placo second only to
tho thrilling account of his experiences nt
Santiago. "Winning of tho West" and bov
eral books on .hunting won Ilooscvelt
literary distinction before he entered poli
tics and still havo a wldo circulation.
lllographles of President McKlnley and
copies of his speeches are much sought.
William J. Ilrynn's "Tho First Ilattle" also

evidence of tho expected slump to uryan
of worklngmen, gold democrats and German-Americans
and concludes that demo
cratic claims of marked gains aro ground
less. "Thero aro no surfaco outcropp'ngs,"
writes Mr. Carson, "Indicating such a
chango of public sentiment as will war
rant a prediction of a political revolution
lit tho htato next month, It Is possible
that events may transpire within the com
ing few weeks to r&uso a revolution amcng
, the industrial classed and. drive them bod
ily against McKlnley, but, barring that,
I can see nothing to encourage tho demo
cratic belief that IJryan will get Indiana's
vote and by a plurality equal to that given
McKlnley in 1890. In fact, whatever
changes that aro discoverablo aro favora
ble to the republlcauB. While democrats
dcclluo to furnish cvldenco of their claim
that gold democrats are ruturnlng and that
German nnd other republicans aro declar
ing for Ilryan, tho republicans unhesitat
ingly furnish names of men who voted
for Bryan In 1806 and who dcclaro they
will vote for McKlnley this year.
"In a stato so close as Indiana it would
bo extremely hazardous to predict what
will be the outcome on November 0. The
best that can bo dono Is to take conditions
after careful investigation and disinter
ested observations ns thoy aro found to
exist. Following that, I do not hcsltato
to say that If tho presidential elccti-n was
to bo held October 9 Instead of November
7 tho electoral vote of this stato would ho
given to McKlnley nnd Uoosevclt."
K. C. Ilenedlct, a close personal friend
of Grovqr Cleveland, a democrat of tha
old-fashioned sort, was recently asked to
contributo to tho Uryan campaign fund.
Hu replied as follows:
"I regret to find no party In exlstenco
whoso platform' supports democratic prin
ciples to any uegree. rour years ago our
stato sent delegates to tho Chicago con
vention as representatives of unquestioned
democratic principles. They wero out
voted In tho national convention, which
promulgated a platform of doctr.ncs almost
wholly nt variance therewith and com
mitted an unpardonablo crime when thoy
used our good name an a label. Thcro
foro I would ns soon think of contributing
to a lot of Chinese who have captured
our Christian churches, set up therein the
teachings of Confucius as tho gospel and
a painfully conspicuous Joss to worship
Instead of tho unseen Ood, and, without
changing tho names of the churcheo, call
themselves regular Christians."

The Only Cure for Dandruff

No German stands higher among his
fellow cttliens In this country than does
Oswald Ottcndorper, editor nnd proprie
tor ot that great German dally, tho New
York Staata Zoltung. In a recent inter
view on the issues of the campaign he paid
his respects to Bryanlsm as follows;
"Tho best Idea as to Bryan may bo
gained by reading his letter of accept
ance and that lettor convinces mo of tho
fnet that ho has not one drop of demo
cratic blood in his body, so that as a dem
ocrat ho ceases to exist. Ho Is a popu
list, a populist pure and simple, with as
great a leaning toward tho 10 to 1 Idea
ns over, but ho hides these issues under tho
cry of Imperialism. What nonaenso for
hlmJto be an antl-lmperiallst champion in
tho light of his own actions! Ho sent th
silver plnnk to Kansas City nnd Insisted
on Its adoption as u part of tho platform,
compelled tho democratic party to accept
It and by his action In that matter as
sumed tho part of a dictator. A tyrannical
dictator to rant about imperialism seems
paradoxical, at least.
"Ilryan's notion In Washington while
tho treaty of Paris was under considera
tion showed that ho had no dignity and no
understanding of higher politics. He
played tho part there of a lobbyist and
used his Influence with democratic sena
tors in favor of tho document. Ho said
then that tho Philippines would ho a good
Htepplng-stono for us to China. It Is only
n short tlmo slnco then, but tho islands
have become a stepping-stouo out of China
for us.
"Then hi? talk about militarism Is
equally unworthy of a man who aspires to
the place of president. Ho took a com
mission In tho army and hail no fenr that
ho was setting a bad example. Ho had no
fears for tho safoty of tho country be
cause of military dictatorship. All this
talk about tho military reminds mo of an
Incident that took placo In tho courao of
tho civil war. I walked past n recruiting
station ono day and saw an old friend In
a brand new uniform with officer's insignia
and decorations. The man had nover been
In tho service, know nothing about mili
tary affairs and I had my doubts oven as
to his patriotism. So I asked hlra: 'Why
did you enlist?'
" 'Ah!' said he, 'that's tho only thing
to do. For tho next fifty years no man will
amount to anything, no niah will havo
chanco in politics unless he has a mili
tary roeord. Now, I ndvlso you. unless
you want to be crowded out and off. to go
to tho governor and get n commission.'
"What that man said others thought, but
our great army melted away and with It
the dangers that alarmed the men who
were like my friend."
"Destroy the Cause, You Remove the Effect'
Dandruff is a Germ Disease
Ever since the great German scientist, Prof, Unna, of the Hanv
burg Charity Hospital discovered that Dandruff is a germ disease,
all efforts to discover a destroyer of the germ failed until the dis
covery of NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE, which will surely
stroy the dandrull germj and it is absolutely certain that without
dandruff there is no falling hair and no consequent baldness,
Without dandruff, hair must grow luxuriantly, Herpicide not
only destroys the dandruff germ, but it is also unequaled as a
hair dressing it makes the hair as soft as silk, keeps the scalp
cool and gives a most refreshing feeling'
