NEBRASKA'S BLIND ASYLUM
Wonderful Proficiency of the Blind
Pupils.
An Bitty that Would So Credit to
High School Graduate ana Shows
til Blind School to bi
Efllclsnt.
There has been a great deal said
through the columns of the press of late
concerning the Blind Institute at Ne-
braskaCity and its present management.
On Friday of last week a representative
of this paper visited the institution. The
management of the institution had no
knowledge of the intended visit until the
representative of the paper presented
himself at the door. lie was shown into
Prof. Johnson's office and afterwards
through the entire building, and into the
class rooms where the pupils were at
work. Everything was quiet and order
ly. The recitations showed very careful
preparation. Thefirst classroom visited
was the geology class, in charge of Prof.
II. E. Dawes. To show the quality and
charactor of the work we publish the fol
lowing article which was prepared and
written without assistance, by Miss Stel
la Miller, eighteen years of age, totally
blind from birth. It would be a credit to
any pupil in any of the high schools in
this state. We select the article because
it was the first read after we entered the
room. There were live others just as
good, some of them much longer.
The original essay in the point, or dot
writing of the blind, is in theofllceof The
Independent, and we will take pleasure
in showing it to anyone interested in the
education of the blind. The following is
Miss Miller's essay:
liEVIEW OF GKOLOGY, BY MISS STELLA
MILLER.
The time from the beginning of the
earth's formation to the present, is di
vided into long periods called "Times."
Thefirst is called the "Azoic," a word
meaning no life.
The earth was one great mass of
gaseous substances, heated to a high de
gree; this gradually cooled to a liquid
state, and by and by a film came over
the liquid and finally grew into a crust,
but the interior was still a boiling mass,
and often portions of it would be forced
tip through the thin places of the crust,
and the great quantity of moisture con
tained by the rare heated atmosphere
would become condensed and fall as rain
covering the entire globe with water; af
ter a time depressions were made in the
earth and the water flowed into them,
thus forming oceans.
The mountains were formed by the
melted rock of the interior being forced
through the crust and piled up on the
surface; the low mountains were formed
on the thin places of the crust and the
high ones where it was thick; the greater
the resistance the higher the mountain.
The rocks of this time were of igneous
formatiou; alter several changes the
earth was ready for the first forms of
life. The Eozoic time, the dawn of life, is
divided into two ages the Laureutian,
named from the St. Lawrence river, be
cause the rocks deposited in this age are
found chiefly in this region, and the Ilu-
ronian, named from the rocks found near
Lake Huron. . During this time little
plants and animals, composed of one or
two cells, appeared on the earth. We
know this fact to be true from the fossil
remains which we find in the rocks of
this period. There was no life before;
this because the rocks were of an ig
neous formation.
Most of the stones of all other times
ore either stratified, or metamorphic.
Fossils are formed in the rocks when the
decoyed matter of animals or plants is
carried away by water, or by some other
means, and the stony substance is de
posited in its place, and forms the shape
of the plant, or animal, as the case may
be. Often the mold and not the form of
the original is left. The Paleozoic time,
ancient life, is divided into three ages
the Silurian, age of mollusks; the Devo
nian, age of fishes, named from Devon, a
county in England, because of the great
amount of fossil fish found there; and
the Carboniferous, age of coal. During
this age the earth was thickly covered
with vegetation. This, after dying and
decaying, was affected by the Vapors of
the atmosphere and was finally changed
to coal, and as time went on sediment
and other matter was deposited on the
coal beds and buried them deep in the
earth.
The Mesozoio time, middle life, was the
age of reptiles. Not the common snakes
and others of that class that we now see
and start back from in terror, but liz
ards and others of enormous size, and
snakes that could fly. The Cenozoic time
is the age of mammals; it is divided into
the tertiary and post-tertiary periods;
at the latter part of the tertiary the
northern hemisphere was covered with
ice down to about t he 39th parallel; this
was called the glacial period; these great
glaciers carved deep hollows in the land,
ground many of the rocks to dust, thus
making more soil, while the surfaces of
others were polished perfectly smooth;
Some bear marks or lines called striae.
The glaciers also carried immense boul
ders for distances of thousands of miles
and scattered them over the country;
when piles of dirt and loose stones col
lect on these ice-rivers they are called
moraines. The center of the glacier flows
faster than the sides; at the closing of
this period came the last and highest
order of the animal kingdom, Man. The
lower animals may have mental power,
but at best, when compared with that
possessed by roan, it is of low degree.
, Animals never progress, except when
they are under the care of man. We find
that the birds of today and of centuries
ago build their nests alike. We first hear
of man as using tools of stone only and
then he discovers the use of bronze and
copper, and finally he learns the art of
carving ornaments, both for his person
and for the iniDlements that he uses, and
thus he advances, step by step, till at
last he has reached the present stage of
civilization.
We submit to our readers, that the
above article is a credit, alike to the in
etructor and the pupil. .

If the members bad been insured in a
stock company for five years at two per
cent, this year it would have cost them
on 492,407 (their average insurance,)
$1,969.87. But it only cost the Mutual
11,271.27, leaving a balance in favor of
the Mutual of $ 098.60.
The secretary's report shows that 1895
cest the company nearly as much as in
tne tnree years prior.
It is presumable that some of the mem
bers are thinkiug that it costs so
much in the Mutual. We would advise
them to hunt up their old stock com
pany policies and compare them with
their Mutual policies.

Hastings, Neb., Feb. 4, 1896.
The funeral of Father Fitzgeral, whose
death occurred on last Friday afternoon
at 2 o'clock at the residence of Jerome
Crowley, in this city, took place from St.
Cecelia's church at 10:80 o'clock this
morning, and was very largely attendedt
there being an unusual large number of
Catholic priests ia attendance. The de
ceased was honored and beloved by all
who knew him.
Isaac L. Deoyt left this morning for
Fremont to attend the sugar beet con
vention, which meets there to-morrow.

George Itonian left last evening for
Leadville, where he goes to assist Jack
Houseman in his mining operations. 1 fie
mine is reported as doing well and pay

M. F. White, general merchant of Ken-
esaw, this county, was closed by credit
ors this week. Liabilities, $4,000; assets,
$2,500. Crop failure and close money
the cause.
Governor Ilolcomb, while here last
week increased the number of his friends
by large accessions. The governor is
very popular at Hastings. His adminis
tration of the affairs of the state are
giving entire satisfaction to the party
and the public so far as Adams county is
concerned, and if he will accept a second
term Adams county stands ready to
boost him in for a second term, and we
expect to surround him with lieutenants
who will stand by him in his efforts to
correct some of the evils that have gone
on for the past thirty-five years in public
places. Give him another term and sur
round him with state officers that have
a common interest in the welfare of the
people of the state, and the good work
already begun will be supplemented by
more and better work.

Test Vote on the Silver Bill.
Saturday, Feb. 1, was a field day in
the Senate. Practically the first test
vote of the session on the silver question
was taken and in order that our readers
may be able to know who and where our
friends are we have carefully tabulated
the vote. Cut it out and place it where
you can easily refer to it asyou probably
will want to do so many times. The
fight is on between the gold bugs and
plutocrats on one side and the com
mon people oa the other. We make
these tables complete by giving the
name of the state, senators, and the date
at which their terms expires.

A close inspection of the above tabu
lation shows the senate has ninety mem
bars as follows:
Republicans - 45
Democrats 9

For silver 48
Atminst sliver 42
Republicans tor silver 18

Democrats against silver 14

States casting one vote each lor silver 6
States casting two votes against silver 17
States casting one vote against silver 7
It will be seen that there will be no
change in the silver forces until March,
1897. A careful examination of the
whole list of senators will show that only
three states are likely to send gold men
in place of silver men in 1897, Indiana.
Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. The leg
islatures iu these three states may de
feat a man that is for free coinage. Tak
ing everything as it looks at this time
there is no possible chance for the gold
bugs to get control of the seriate before
March, 1899, or practically speaking the
first Monday in December, 1900. It is
not admitted by any one that the silver
men will be in the minority in the senate
at the above date. It is plain to see that
the gold men cannot hope to get control
before December, 1900, if at all, except
by purchase.
The above table shows that 40 per
cent of the republicaus, 70 per cent of the
democrats, and 100 per cent of the pop
ulists are silver men.
