has learned to
take a summer
vacation. H 0
,d. flies from busl
ness, locks thoughts of shop in the chain
ber of forget and revels in tho luxury of
living. Tho season for vacation days Is
at hand. "Where to go" Is a subject of
individual cogitation nnd of family coun
cil. For tho thousands of Nebraskaus who
cannot or caro not to visit places fashionable,
expensive and afar, Bye-the-Byc has a word
of comfort nnd counsel.
Don't rob yourself of your vacation days.
You have earned the right to a week or two
or a month of ease. Then live while you live
At tho very threshold of tho statu you have a
delightful resort for summer outings that of
fers joys enough to refresh tired brains and
baniih worry. Byo-tho-Byo refers to Spirit
Lake and writes of It from tho fullness of ex
perience, having visited It every summer for
years. Spirit Lake though the name of one
body of water has como to include within its
meaning tho whole region round nlxnit, which
includes a whole chain of lakes. It is located
in tho northwestern part of Iowa at tho
highest elevation In the state, and while the
people of tho towns aro sweltering under Old
Sol's rays that lake region is swept by cooling
breezes.
V
Spirit Lako and its twin sisters, tho Oklbo
jt, teem with lifo in tho summer time. The
locality has been tho resort of hunters for
many years. There has been established
about the lakes a series of "lodges" for sports
men during tho gaming season, nnd thrifty
owners hnve long since learned to entice sum
mer boarders. Hundreds of camping parties
come to those bountiful shores for a period of
tent life, nnd wealthier people have occupied
choice bits of beach or cae with tasty cot
tages. These lodges, camps and cottages,
wltb.their hundreds of occupants, ale kept in
communication by steam and sail craft.
Woods and water are alive with human pres
ence and human activity. Nature Is in her
pleasantest mood, nelghborllness reigns every
where and happy freedom crowns it all.
It is a little world of itself, but tho center
of it nil is tho Hotel Orleans. This is a typi
cal summer resort house, with endless veran
das, halls like vistas and with rooms to care
for I don't know how many hundred people,
but surely enough to make a good sized and
interesting community. Tho hotel was built
a few years ago at the instance of tho Bur
llnton, Cedar Rapids & Northern railroad,
which runs by the door, so that it is a hand
some structure after modem Ideas, with all
tho conveniences of modern hotel life. It
stands on a narrow strip of land between two
lakes, facing Spirit, and catches every breath
of air stirring. Its landlord Is Horace In
land, one of tho noted hotel family of that
name. One of its attractions is a band that
plays during meals and furnishes music for
the hops, which aro given about twlco n week
in tho big dining room. Last year SIgnor
Tomnso's mandolin orchestra was one of tho
feuturcs of the place.
V
Spirit Lake has this great recommendation
over many other resorts. It Is not all styl.
Guest 8 attend the balls in evening dress nnd
have their mnnners at tho table (westerners
are not boors), but it Is not aplaco for thodis
play of clothing or tho costly nlcknackery of
society. The (tunnel shirt rules tho day.
Hest, comfort and recreation are the nlnuof
all. There is mngnlflcent Ashing for those
whollkoit. Strings of eighty or a hundred
pounds of pike, pickeiel, bass nnd perch aro a
no unusual morning's catch. Duck, geese,
ON THE IIKACH
snipe, woodcock and prairlo chicken are roa
sonably plenty In their season. Near tho ho
tel Is as flne a randy beach as any lake in the
country affords. The bottom goes down
into the transparent depths by n gentlo in
cline. There are no treacherous holes or dan
gerous undertow. Bathing parlies ore one
of the jolllest diversions. Boating is of course
n prime feature of the place, and impromptu
yacht races give a dash of excitement, A cir
cuit of the lakes affords a delightful sail of
about thirty miles, Beautiful scenes Are un
folded to the eye, and groups of happy camp
ers and cottagers come down to the boat at
every landing,

One of tho events of the season U tho an
nual regatta of tho Iown State Amateur Row
ing association, comosed of boat clubs from
Davenport, Cedar Rapids, Burlington, Keo
kuk, Dububue, Ottumwn, Des Moines and
Council Bluffs. Tho Omahn club has also
been allowed to Join, as its boat house Is now
at Lako Manawa, near Council Ulufrs, The
regatta lasts but two days, but many oarsmen
go to tho lako In nclvnnce of tho races nnd
linger afterward, so that tho water near tho
hotel is dotted for days with tho dancing
shells of tho racers. Almost without excep
tion the Iowa boat clubs contain the leading
young men of their rospectlvo towns. While
elegant gold badges aro awarded ns prizes one
of the chief alms of tho association Is to make
tho annual regatta a social reunion. Many
members aro accompanied by their wives and
sisters, and many frlcnds,both ladles and gen
tlemen, arrango their nITnirs to be at tho lake
during regatta week. Thcro Is music mid
dancing every evening, which, with tho do
ings of tho dny, mako a carnival of gnyety.
Among tho other out-of-door attractions
aro lawn tennis and base ball. Tho tennis
ground is open to nil. If tho young fellows
VIEW FROM HOTEL
nt the hotel don't feel like playing ball against
each other, somo club of country boys is gen
erally at hand with n challengo to stir thelf
pride. One of tho treats of tho place Is. a
game between Americans and the English
men from tho English colsny nbout Lo Mars,
These Britishers are of blooded stock, aro
usually well supplied with ducats and aro al
ways in for athletics. You meet him here in
nil his native purity except that his residence
in America has knocked out 11 great deal of
the insulferable stlobbishneft peculiar to tho
uncontamtiiatcd Englishman. During the
day he wears comfortablo flannels, tho troua
er legs turned up, a cap on his head and a
pipe in his mouth. At tho six o'clock dinner
he nnd his wife aro just as likely U apear
in evening dress. Altogether he Isacurioslty
AT BrllUT LAKE.
but if you succeed In making his acquaintance
he is likely to prove an Interesting fellow.
V
There aro plenty of new faces nt Spirit
Lake every year to glvo freshness nnd variety
to the place, but ono of tho pleasant things
about it is that many people may bo looked
for each season. After a first visit ono is sure
of meeting some acquaintance, and it robs
the place of that lonesomeness In going to a
strango summer resort. Spirit Lake has an
other strong recommendation In not being as
expensive as many other places. The prices
of the Hotel Orleans are moderate, and there
is llttlo other chance to x'inl money except
for boat and bathing suits.
V
And It doesn't take n long, expensive rail
way trip to reach Spirit Iake, One can
iMMird a Pullman sleeper on a Hloux City &
Paclflo trnlu nt the Webster stroit dcKt In
Omaha after tea and tnko breakfast at the
Orleans. One may leave tho hotel after en
joying tho evening hop nnd tnko his breakfast
In Omaha. The trip Is not as long oven as It
seems, for tho sleeter rest quietly at 0110 of
tho junction jiolnts for n considerable part of
tho night. The sleepers run through without
change. They cross tho Missouri nt llluir and
go theneo to Hloux City over tho 8., C. & 1.
road, theneo over the C, St, I',, M & O, to
Worthlngtou, Minn., theneo south over the
11.. C. R. & N. to tho door of the Orleans.
Tho railroads will probably oirer sjieclal rates,
too. Any 0110 wishing full Information nbout
Spirit take should drop a postal to Mr. J. K.
Hnunegan, general passenger agent of the H.,
C. R.&N., Cedar Rapids, Iown, who will
gladly send hnndsoinery Illustrated pamphlets
full of the subject,
V
There Is a very unanimous desire among
OllLKANH. BI'IIUT LAKE.
Nebrnskaus to btimulnte immigration to tho
state. Many cities have raised funds to ad-
vertlso themselves in the hope of attracting
now residents from the east. This is well
enough in its way, but the people of the whole
state have nn interest in common. It Is to in-
croaso tho imputation, and presumably tho
wealth, without referenco to the particular
locality in which the new-comer may make
his home. While busluoss men and others aro
dwelling on the matter Bye-tho-Byo would
call their attention to 11 simple means that
may uo put in operation wmioui particular
cost to themselves. The harvest excursions
of the railroads In years past liave in luced
thousands from tho east to visit Nebraska,
and many have since located in the state.
The railroads made reduced rates and then
advertised tho excursions lllernlly. For some
unknown reason tho eastern roads Kem ills
inclined this year. The development of the
west has leeii a boon to the eastern railroad
in the ltast, and tho reasons for their policy
then are as strong now, Tiie boards of trade
of the cities of Nebraska can in no other way
accomplish as much for a small amount of la
bor and cosh as by iiersuadlng the railroads
to resume their harvest excursions The roads
west of the Missouri are thoroughly com
mitted to tho policy, and can undoubtedly Ikj
relied upon to cooperate,' Jn making this
statement of the situation I wish to say that
this is not mere talk to All space. I have it
on good authority that tho eastern roads have
been sounded on this matter and show a
stroiiK disinclination to run these excursions.
NebrusUn boomers ought to give this matter
timely attention. The railroad managers
should not be allowed to rest until they give
the usual concession.
V
Oscar Wilde has been heard from again,
and he brings balm to a generation which has
thought itself degenerate when comjMired
with man of former ages as handed down to
us by art. No great artist ever hoes things as
they really are, we are told. If he did he
would cease to be an artist. The Japanese
people, for instance, it is declared, are the de
liberate creation of certain Japanese artists.
"The actual people who live in Juwn are not
unlike tho general run of English people
that is to say, they are extremely common
place, and have nothing curious or extraor
dinary about them. In fact, tho whole of Ja
pan is a pure invention." So in Greek art
argues Oscar. "Do you think Greek nrt ever
tells us what the Greek iteoplo were llkof" ho
asks. "Do you believe that tho Athenian
women were like tho stately, dlgnltled figures
of the Parthenon frieze, or like those marvel
lous goddesses who sat In the triangular )!-
imentsof tho same building! If you Judge
from the art they certainly were so. But
read an authority, llko Aristophanes', for in
stance. You will find that tho Athenian ladles
laced tightly, wore high-heeled shoes, dyed
their hair yellow, painted and rouged their
faces, and were, exactly like silly fashionable
or 'alien creatures of our own day. Wo look
back to tho ags entirely through tho medium
of nrt, nnd art very fortunately has nover
Qiice told us tho truth." Thanks, Oscar,
thanks) Tho consolation is grateful.
V
From the observation of tho Couhirh'h
business malinger on recent visits to HU Paul,
Denver nnd Omaha It would seem that busi
ness in thoso cities Is propoi tlonatoly much
quieter than in Lincoln. The conclusion Is
that our business men uro more fortunate
than those of larger places.

The American girl Is nblo to tnko caro of
herself under nlmost nny circumstances, A
striking example, of this has been given by a
young lady known to many In Lincoln, Miss
Chapln, who visited Rov. K. II. Chnpln in
this city during the winter of 1880-87, has
been traveling since theu in tho orient. Tim
CHonfcm Arou, published nt Fort Plain, N.
Y contains tho following item of interest:
"The Rev. Dr. Chnpln received n letter from
his daughter, Miss Mary, who Is In tho Orient
traveling, it was dated at Damascus. An
incident she relates is that while crossing a
plain through Syria sho rotlo on ahead of the
party and when quite a distance olf sho wns
surrounded by n baud of Bedouins, crying
'iiacKsscueek' and llourlslilnir their sinvirs.
She gave her horse a cut with her whip and
got DncK to the traveling hand as oulcklv a
possible, not liking that kind of a reception,
it'i.i , ., , .
, mi 11 minimi vi icw iiervo somuiiiing seri
ous might have happened."
They do say some of the non-nartlsan nro-
hlblt'onlsttt thnt they will probably have an
organ in the Call. A scheme Is afoot to nmko
it n morning paper and range Its batteries 011
the side of the prohibitory niiiendment. Tho
campaign now on offers a good oicning of
mis Kind. Momo conservative moil think tho
amendment will carry. Others think It will
not. The average sentiment Is that tho vote
will bo close. In other-words about one-half
of Nebraska's voting jiopulatlon will bo for
prohibition. To enrry the conclusion further.
about one-half of the newspaper-buyers of
the state will bectcno k)ksIu1o subscribers to
a ;m)er with a prohibition backbone. It
must bo a morning dally. It must huvo tho
prestige and tho mail facilities of Omahn or
Lincoln. Tho lite nnd tho Herald of Omaha
are arrayed against tho amendment. Tho
Itfpubllean has ;iot committed itaolf. Tho
politicians say id cannot nlTord to antagonize
the liquor element of Omaha. Fred Nyu lias
the 'habit of doing1 tile uiiexiectd, but nt
jircR'iit he is nn unknown quantity in tho cal
culation. The Journal of Lincoln is fernlnst
the umeiidmeut, too. This leave no morning
jmper available for a prohibition mouth
piece. Tho Prohibitory Loaguo organized
this week is n croaturo of the bruins of Messrs.
C. A. Atkinson and C. A. Robbins of this
city. Tho reins of the movement are virtu

Lincoln is to be it head and center. What

The election of n president brings out much
Interesting information nbout men. For ex-
umple, the name of Nebraska's honored at
torney general was A illlam Henry Harrison
Leese. In early life ho modestly droiuied
the two middle names, and In order to get
the remainder as short and simple as possible
he writes it Win. Lectio. It Is suld that tho
only time ho has used his full iiamo during his
twenty odd years in isetirnska was recently.
when he signed tho endorsement of un olllt-e
fceeker. Another well known Liucolulte mihsos
among iriends ns Henry II. Wilson, hut ho
could very likely get nn ofllce under tlm pres
ent administration by resuming tho iiamo by
which he was christened: William Henry
Harrison,

It seems to bo the destiny of Lincoln to get
to the front. In the organization of tho Pro
hibitory League we get the president (U. A.
Atkinson), the secretary (C. A. Robbins), a
vice president (Mrs. Anglo Newman) and two
members of the executive committee (Chan
cellor Crelghton and John M. Stewart). The
name of tho organization the Nebraska Non
partisan Prohibitory Amendment League
was provided by another Llucoliilto: II, H.
Wilson. That's good enough for one day!

Editors intending to go on the Nebraska
press excursion to the northwest should enroll

fer a favor on the committee by enrolling
themselves as much earlier ns possible.
