The State Reunion.
On the occasion of “Nebraska Day”
at the reunion of the soldiers of Ne
braska at Lincoln, the speaking was
held in Exposition hall. Chairman Er
bardt read telegrams from Congress
men Greene and Stark, announcing
their inability to be present. A letter
from Senator Allen was also read, the
first part of which told of his partici
pation in the war and devotion to the
old soldiers. It continues:
For those who honestly served in the
same great, just and holy cause, what
ever their station in life may be, or
may have been, 1 have strong feelings
of affection akin to those existing be
tween brothers, notwithstanding on
political questions we may widely dis
agree. Men capable of sacrificing per
sonal convenience and risking health
and life in the accomplishment of a
great cause in the interest of the race
are too broad-minded, sensible and pa
triotic to cavil with others who per
formed a like service respecting their
political opinions.
The war for the union was fought on
the theory that ours is a national gov
ernment and that this is an insepera
ble union of indestructible states, and
that a state having entered the union
becomes an integral portion thereof
and cannot throw off or abandon its
allegiance at any time a majority of its
citizens may so declare. This is the
sittled doctrine of our country. We
are not only a federal union, but a na
tion, and our government possesses,
and can exercise for the common good
all the power that any other national
government can rightfully exercise.
Thirty-two years have passed into
eternity since the close of the war in
which we served together and the mus
tering out of the volunteer army and
navy. Those who were then mere
striplings have become gray-headed
men and in the west huve encountered
the hardships, privations and experi
ences of a long, useful and active life.
It must have Impressed itself on all
that with our retirement from the
army we did not cease to be charged
with duties ahd responsibilities of a
very high order and an importantchar
acter. The same cause that, impelled
our enlistment and induced us to en
counter the hardships and experiences
of a soldier’s life, namely, the preser
vation and protection of the union, has
doubtless induced us to perform our
j duty as citizens to the best of our abil
ity, in making more secure the founda
tions of civilization and in strengthen
ing the government wherever, in our
judgment, it may have needed strength
ening.
I may be permitted to say that I
shall in the future, as 1 hare 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 incumbency
of my present office had under consid
eration 945 pension cases at the bureau
of pensions, many of which have been
granted, besides having introduced
and secured the passage of many pri
vate bills. 1 have strenuously con
tended on the floors of the Onited
states senate, and shall continue to do
so, that that all who honorably per
formed like services in the cause of the
Union should be equally rewarded in
the granting of pensioqp, and thut the
artificial distinction between husbands,
made necessary by the existence of a
state of war, shall not continue be
tween their widows after the war
closed and each took his station in the
rank of citisens. I. shall earnestly
continue this line of advocacy until
such an odious condition shall have
ceased to exist in the United States.
The wife and children of a soldier who
performed meritorious and honest
services for his country and risked life
and litnb at a time when the govern
ment needed him, should be rewarded
equally with the wife and children of
those who received higher pay, greater
honor and emoluments during the
short period such distinction existed.
Among the speakers was Congress
man Strode. lie 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 1861 was in
the eternal camp today. He discussed
the war as it affected Nebraska, and
followed the state through its forma
tion of a state governmeut and admis
sion into the union, eulogizing Mar
quette and Thayer as two of its great
est patriots. Tne part of presest pa
triotism was to “stand up for Ne
braska.” The state had increased in
population from 90,000 in 1867 to over a
million In 1897. It has grown into a
freat commonwealth since the war.
t was being built up at the time Ben'
Wade said: “I am in favor of homes
for the homeless, rather than niggers
for the niggerlcss.” In 1870 the state
raised 7.000,000 busliclsof corn; in 1880,
69,000.000; in 1890, loo.ooo.ooo. and in
1897, fully 300,000,000 bushels. In 1870
there were 998 school houses in the
state, and now there are 7,000, the
state having the lowest percentage of
illiteracy among all the suites. The
speaker thought we ought to stand up
for and be proud of the state. This
would be true patriotism. He said
there were many sincere people who
preach and profess patriotism, but Hie
true patriot is the one who practices as
well as preaches.
Congressman Strode was followed by
Hon. W. J. Bryan. He thought, how
erer, that on occasions like this it was
proper for those to speak who took
part in the war, rather than those
who were born too late to enter the
Seat struggle. We can look back upon
e little contest in which we have
keen engaged and And how .small. it
was oompared with the civil war—the
greatest war of history. The war was
great, because conquered enemies had
been converted into permanent friends,
and the greatest question that has ever
arisen in the history of a nation had
been settled forever. We are now parts
of a great nation, and whatever a ma
jority of the people decide, whether we
as individuals like' it or not, is the law
of the land. The-glory of the late war
grows brighter as the years go on, and
I the leading figures grow more conspic
uous. the one great central figure being
Abraham Lincoln, who is now revered
by north and south alike. Mr. Bryan
'referred to Mr. Strode’* definition of
patriotism and said lie was glad that
the word .was broad enough to includo
some besides those who actually fought
in tho war. The patriot was a man
who fought the battles of his country,
whether they be fought with bullets or
with arguments. It was important
to win our liberties, and just as im
portant to preserve them. “If a man
hasn’t a chance to die for his country,
isn't it a glorious thing to live for it?”
Corn for Table Use.
A model kitchen in which will be
prepared in a scientific manner Ne
braska’s 8taole product, Indian maize,
in all its varied forms, is the scheme
proposed by Mrs. Harriets. MacMur
phy of Omaha to the Nebraska Exposi
tion commission. Some of the members
are disposed to look with great favor
on the scheme as being a most valuable
means of showing the world the great
value of corn as a food for man as well
as beast, thereby increasing the de
mand for the crop with which Nebras
ka can supply the world.
Mrs. MacMurphy’s plan contemplates
the establishment of a kitchen which
shall be a model for a housewife, fitted
with all the most improved culinary
apparatus for preparing food in the
most scientific manner. In this kitch
en Mrs. MacMurphy proposes to give
daily demonstrations ail during the ex
position, showing to all visitors who
desire to be informed the result of sci
entific investigation into the art of pre
paring food for the table in a manner
which will insure the best results from
the nutrition therein contained. Mrs.
MacMurphy proposes to make a spe
cialty of preparing Corn for table ase,
and for this purpose she proposes to
demonstrate by practical methods the
very many tempting forms in which
this highly nutritious food may be util
ized by man. These delieions prepara
tions will be prepared in plain sight of
visitors, and they will then be distrib
uted among the people who desire to
have further proof of their excellence.
Nsbratkans Arc doing to Texas,
' The Trans-Mississippi and Interna
tional Exposition is to be boomed in
the south by another party of Nebras
kans. On the evening of Saturday,
October 2, there will leave Omaha over
the Wabash railroad a party of sixty
five Nebraskans, bound for Texas.
They will occupy two Pullman sleep
ing cars and they will be gone eight
days. Twenty-five members of tho
party will be from Omaha, and the re-,
maining forty will be prominent rep
resentatives of the leading towns in the
state.
^ The committee of . the Omaha . Real
Estate exchange having the matter in
charge has worked indefatigably for
the success of the excursion." The nec
essary transportation has been secured
throughout and a representative party
of Nebraskans has been made up. The
committee will at once make official ap
plication to the exposition manage
ment for a large quantity of exposition
literature to take along on the trip,
and will also ask for the appointment
of the two best exposition orators that

Want* to Settle HI* Defalcation;
E. C. Hockcnberger, the defaulting
ex-county treasurer qnd. ex-secretary
of the school district of Grand Island,
has again made the proposition to the
board of education of that city to pay
the bourd $1,060 if it would recommend
to the county attorney to dismiss the
criminal proceedings against Hockcn
berger. The latter has once been tried
on the charges of embezzling school
district money, and on his own con
fession that he falsified the records to
cover up a previous shortage he was
found guilty. The case has been ap
: pealed to the supreme court and by it
remanded back for a new trial. It is
said by the defense that Hockcnberger
never took the actual cash which he
embezzled, and on this technicality it
is believed by manv that he will never
be convicted.
State I.lqtior Dealer*.
It has been decided to hold a state,
meeting of saloon men in Omaha Octo

meeting in Indianapolis this year. All
retail dealers throughout the state will
be urgod to attend the October meeting
and Omaha's wholesale trade will be
looked after.

It is alleged in the complaint that
Kstnbrnok, under the fictitious name
A. F. Newton, wrote a letter to one
Dordua of Guide Rock, the purpose of
which letter was to defraud Dordua
out of $300.
Beet Crop I* Kxcellent. !
The first week of the beet sugar
manufacturing campaign is passed,
says a Grand Island dispatch, and an
extra fine quality of sugar is being
manufactured from the beets this year.
Thu output has never been equalled
and it is certainly an excellent crop
for the factory. Some of the beets,
have tested us high as 18 per cent
sugar, with a purity coefficient to 90.
There are not many beets in California
that will test higher than this.
Deserted and Trla* Suicide.
Mrs. K. E. Jacobs, wife of the porter
at the Lepin hotel, Hastings, made an
attempt to commit suicide by taking a

band who had left her. In explanation
of her attempt upon her life she said
that she had discovered that her hus
band no longer loved her, and she hod
nothing to live for.
Chase County’* I masons* Crop.
Farmers in Chase county have about
finished their threshing. The wheat
crop has turned out better than at
first anticipated, spring wheat rang
ing from five to fifteen bushels per
acre. Chase county never hod such a
corn crop i*> itr history. Many fields
from 300 300 acres are estimated to
yield from forty to sixty bushels per
acre, and it is about all matured.
POSSIBLY A DEFICIT.

a-, OF UNCLE SAM.
Receipts From Cnitmni Under the New
Tariff Law for the Flrat Month of
Its Operation Have Fallen Be*
hind tha Estimate—Increase
In Expenditures.
Pensions and Keren ue.
Washington. Sent. so.—Anxiety has
Been expressed in some quarters lest
there be a large deficit in the revenues
of the government at the end of the
fiscal year. This solicitude is based
mainly r.pon the fact that the receipts
from customs under the new tariff law
for the first month of its operation
have fallen below the estimate, while
the expenditures, notably for pension
payments, show an increase over the
estimate. ~
"I don’t anticipate any deficit in the
revenues of the government this
year," said Colonel II. Clay Evans, the
commissioner of pensions, to-day, "al
though the expenditures for pensions
will be greater than the appropria
tion, thereby necessitating a deficiency
appropriation for their payment. I
don’t look for as large an increase,
however, as the payments for the quar
terending September 30, about 940,
000,000, would seem to indicate. That
amount includes certificates that have
been held up I estimate that the to
tal payments for the year will not ex
ceed 9147,5000,0001 That is not an ap
palling excess by any means, the ap
propriation for the year being 9141,
SM.880. If there should be an unex
pected falling off in the revenues, the
pension payments might be curtailed
toward the end of the year, although
I don’t think that is at all likely.”
“How is the increase for the year
accounted for?" Colonel Evans was
asked.
“Well, to begin with, there are
something like 200,000 old claims pend
ing before the bureau, which will be
acted upon as rapidly as we can get
to them. A great many of these are
good claims, ought to be and will have
to be allowed. They will involve a
considerable amount of money, prob
ably 95,1.03,000, although no definite
estimate of this can be made now.
, "Then there is a remarkable in
crease in the number of new applica
tions for pensions. For instance, in
the last six months of the fiscal year
of 1890, the applications under the
general law were 15,000, while in one
month alone in 1897, the month of
June, there were 18,168. The applica
tions under the act at June 27, 1800,
for six months in 1896 were 10,865, and
for the month' of June, 1897, were
82,001.”
“What occasioned such a marked
increase in the applications?”
“Well, while I have had little com
munication with the old soldiers to
determine what moved them in the
matter, I think I could make a pretty
good surmise. I guess some of the
boys had been holding off under the
last administration from applying for.
pensions, concluding that they would
rather try their chances of getting
.their applications granted with a Be
publicau administration."
IS ANDrfEE IN SIBERIA?
Washington Expert* Inclined to Dlt
credit the Report From Russia.
New Yobk, Sept. 30.—A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
“Arctic explorers and scientists are
much interested in the report that a
balloon, supposed to be that of An
dree, the explorer, lias been seer, over
the village of Antzifirowskojc, in the
province of Yenisei, Siberia. Pro*
lessor William Darkness of the naval
observatory said that as Andree start
ed in his balloon from Danes' island to
the north of Spitzbergcn, in latitude
70 degrees 50 minutes it was clear if his
balloon was now at Antzifciowsky he
did not succeed ia..bis project 6f cross
ing the polar region and coming out
at some point in the iiritish territory
of North America. Prof. Harkness
said that, if Andree's balloon is any
where in the province of Yenisei, it is
practically certain that his attempt to
cross the pole has been a complete
failure, and instead of goiug north
from his point of departure his gen
eral direction since he left Tromsoe
has been toward the east and south.
“Walter Wellman, the newspaper
correspondent who has made d special
investigation of the practiAibility of
Arctic ballooning, discredits the Si
berian story, though he does not coin
cide with tho prevailing belief that
Andree is lost. In his opinion An
dree's chances of safety urc about 1
to 3.” __

CUBAN MATTERS.
Consol Lm Baa a Conference With’ the
President. 'a
Washington, Sept 20. — General
Fitzhugh Lee, consul general to Cuba,
had a long co- il tat ion by special ap
pointment witu the President at the
White house to-day. All visitors were
excluded except Secretary Alger.
General Lee carefully reviewed the
situation in Cuba and explained all
points noon which either the Presi
dent or Secretary Alger asked for in
formation. He gave his own views
freely to the President, but after the
interview was very reticent about the
nature of the report made. He said
the President had not given him an
outline of his policy.
The president was deeply impressed
with the character of the situation
described and it is understood that he
strongly urged Consul General Lee to
retain his office, at least for the pres
ent, and to return to Havana at his
earliest convenience. As it had been
strongly intimated for several months
that Congressman Aldrich would suc
ceed General Lee at Havana and that
the latter would probably not return,
the President's action is construed to
mean that he thinks it inadvisable to
make a change at this juncture.
General Lee left this afternoon for
Covington, Va., but before his depart
nre admitted that he would return to
Cuba as soon as he had arranged his
private affairs, probably about the
middle of October. In private con
versation with close personal friends
he expressed himself vigorously as to
the situation in Cuba and was very
emphatic in his condemnation of some
of General Weyler's methods.
