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 Can accompany the party to make ad dresses at all points where stops will be made. ■ 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 l her 14, with a view to* perfecting a state organization of saloon keepers to be known as the' Protective Liquor Dealers’ association. The effort is in tended to bring to Omaha in '98 the na tional association, which holds its 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. A rrunted Under the Postal tin*. John L. Estabrook of Guide Hock, Neb., was brought before U. 8. Com missioner Bode at Grand Island, by Deputy U. 8. Marshal Cooley of Lin coln, charged With using tne United States mails for fraudulent purposes. 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.

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 shortage in the revenue 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.” __ C’r-ker at the ReiMl or a New York Paper. New York, Sept 20.—Richard Crok er is going into a newspaper venture again.

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.
