There a a ay to c joI their levered
brow.
Let them look at the records.
Suppose we take a peep at the records
our&elve.
There is a hospital for the insane at
Hastier.
The State of Nebraska supports that
hospital in the interest of its unfortu
nate wards.
Humanity demands that these unfor
tunates have careful attention and kind
treatment.
Good government demands that this
attention and treatment shall be the
best and at as low a cost as is compati
with good service.
An examination and investigation of
the hoepital at Hastings will show that
the ifmre was never rendered better.
A peep at the records in Gov. Poin
ter's office will show that this Berrice
was rendered at a minimum cost to the
taxpayers.
This is co time for pharasaical rant
ing. No time for an "1 am holier than
thou campaign.
Uut it U a time whea the tax-payer
desire to know to what use has been
put hi and bis neighbor's money.
The fusion forces.the populists, demo
crats and feilver republicans, claim to
have good, common sense and fair busi
cetitf ability. .
They claim the right, to do their own
thinking.
Buttney do not claim supernatural
powers.
They have tried honestly and sincerely
to do their rcipective duties as they saw
them.
But they do not claim to be irfect;
they are human and liable to err.
The people of Nebraska are looking
for general results and net raking the
records with a tine-tooth comb for slight
Haws. , . -s -
But what about the hospital for the
inane at Hastings?

Dr. Hall in making the report re
marks that a compraison with the report
of this department giviDg the condition
of the banks under its supervision March
11!, 1900, shows a decrease in the total
number of banks of four. Nine of our
biinns have nationalized. Loans and
discounts have decreased t'2,017,583.73.
Deposits have increased $3,001,146.61.
Legal reserve is now 46 per cent, an in
crease of 13 per cent. Total increase of
resources 12,447,425.24.
Under normal conditions at this
season of the year it is usual for the loans
and discounts to show a decrease and the
deposits an increase, as is, so to speak, a
period of rest, marking the subsidence
of activity in handling last year's farm
products and awaiting this year's. As
Nebraska is almost entirely an agricul
tural stato, the business of our banks re
fleets largely the movement of agricul
tural products. There is but little de
mand for money, as reflected in the de
crease in loans and the increase of de
posits. Our banks are, however, in prime
condition and deservedly demand the
confidence of the people, which is to this
department the most gratifying feature.
There is no part of the fusion ptate
government that has been of more bene
fit to the people than the banking de
partment. When Dr. Hall took hold of
the banks he found several just on the
point of collapsing, but by careful exam
inations and insisting upon the bankers
sticking to'sound business principles, he
has leen able to bring the Nebraska
bankn to a position that commands the
confidence of all business men. The re
serves are not all down in Wall street as
taey once were.

Mr. Jones or flr. Brown?
Mr. Eliphalet Brown was a bachelor of
35 or thereabout, one of those men who
seem to be born . to pass through the
world alone.- It chanced that Mr. Brown
had occasion to visit a town some 50
miles distant. Walking leisurely alone
the street, he was all at once accosted by
a child of 5, who ran up to him, exclaim
ing:
'Father, I want you to buy me some
more sugar candy!
"Whom were you speaking to, my
dear?" he inquired of the little girl.
T spoke to you, father," said the little
one, surprised.
r 'Really," thought Mr. Brown, "this is
embarrassing. -1 am not your father, my
dear," he said. "What is your name?"
"What a funny father you are! she
said. "But you are going to buy me
some candy."
"Yes, yea; I'll boy you a pound if you
won't call me father any more," said
Brown nervously.
Mr. Brcwn proceeded to a confection
er's and actually bought a pound of sugar
candy, which he placed in the hands of
the little girl. ' In coming out of the store
they encountered the girl's mother.
"Oh, mother," said the little girl, "just
see how much candy father has bought
for me!"
"You shouldn't have bought her so
much at a time, . Mr. Jones," said the
lady. "I'm afraid she will make herself
sick. But how did you happen to get
home so quick? I did not expect you till
night."
"Jones I madam," said the embar
rassed Mr. Brown. Tt'3 all a mistake.
I ain't Jones at all. It isn't my name. I
am Eliphalet Brown of W , and this
is the first time I ever came into this
city."
"Good heavens! Mr. Jones, what has
put this silly tale into your head? You
have resolved to change your name, have
you? Perhaps It's your intention to
change your wife?"
Mrs. Jones' tone was now defiant, and
this tended to increase Mr. Brown's em
barrassment. "I haven't any wife, madam. I never
had any."
"And do you intend to palm this tale
off upon me?" said Mrs. Jones with ex
citement. "If you are not married, I'd
like to know who I am?" . '
"I have no doubt you are a most re
spectable lady," said Mr. Brown, "and I
conjecture from what you have said that
your name is Jones, but mine is Brown,
A, 1 . i . .
"Melicda," said her mother, suddenly
taking ber child by the arm and leading
her up to Mr. Brown, "Melinda, who is
this gentleman?"
"Why. that's father!" was the child's
immediate reply as she confidently placed
her hand in his.
"You hear that. Mr. Jones, do you?
You hear what the innocent child says,
and yet you have the unblushing impu
dence to deny that you are my husband!
The voice of nature, speaking through
the child, should overwhelm you! I'd
like to know if you are not her father
why you are buying sugar candy for her?
I should like to have you answer that.
But 1 presume' you never saw her before
in your life?" '
''I never did. On my honor I never
did. I told her I would give her the stigar
candy if she wouldn't 'call me father any
more."
"You did, did you? Bribed your child
not to call you father! Oh. Mr. Jones,
this is infamous! Do you intend to de
sert me, sir. and leave me to the cold
charities of the world? And is this your
first step?"
Mrs. Jones wns so overcome that with
out any warniug she fell hack upon the
sidewalk in a fainting fit.
Instantly a number of persons ran to
her assistance.
"I don't know her," said Mr. Brown.
"She isn't my wife, t don't know any
thing about her!"
"Why, it's Mrs. Jones, ain't it?"
"Yes, but I'm not Mr. Jones."
"Sir," said the first speaker sternly,
"this is no time to jest. I trust that
you are not the cause of the excitement
which must have occasioned your wife's
fainting fit. You bad better call a coach
and' carry her home directly."
Brown saw that there was no use to
protract the discussion by a denial. He
therefore, without contesting the point,
ordered a hackney coach to the spot.
Mr. Brown accordingly lent an arm to
Mrs. Jones, who had somewhat recov
ered, and was about to close the door
upon her.
"Why, are you not going yourself?"
"No! Why should I?"
"Your wife should not go alone. She
has hardly recovered."
Brown gave a despairing glance at the
crowd aronnd him and, deeming it use
less to make opposition where so many
seemed thoroughly convinced that he
was Mr. Jones, followed the lady in.
"Where shall I driver
"I I don't know," said Brown.
"Where would you wish to be carried?"
"Home, of course," murmured Mrs.
Jones.
"I don't know"
"No. 19 H street," said the gentle
man already introduced, glancing con
temptuously at Brown.
"Will you help me out, Mr. Jones?"
said the lady. "I am not fully recovered
from the fainting fit into which you
cruelly drove me."
"Are you sure that I am Mr. Jones?"
asked Brown, with anxiety.
"Of course!"
"Then." said he resignedly. "1 suppose
I am. But, if you believe me. I was
firmly convinced this morning that my
name was Brown, and, to tell you the
truth, 1 haven't any recollection of this
house."
Brown helped Mrs. Jones Into the par
lor; but, good heavens! Conceive the as
tonishment of all when a man was dis
covered seated in an armchair who was
the very facsimile of Mr. Brown in
form, feature and every other respect!
"Gracious!" exclaimed the lady.
"Which is my husband?"
An explanation was given, the mystery
cleared up and Mr. Brown's pardon
sought for the embarrassing mistake.
Mr. Brown has not since visited the
place where this "Comedy of Errors"
happened. London Evening News.
Pride For Two.
"Yes." she said, I am proud to say
that I am a bachelor girl."
"And I, he replied, "take equal pride
in the fact that I am an old maid man."

NOTE8.
J. M. Crosby, Fremont, complains that
certain players in his section are unduly
slow in replying to his moves, and he
threatens to resign and withdraw from
the association. The Chess Editor
trusts that members will be as prompt
as the hot weather and their other du
ties will permit.
Mr. John L. Clark, Platte Center, ex
presses a desire to play a match ''with
the best player in Lincoln under 21
years of age." Who will accept the
challenge?
Mr. Clark and Mr. F. W. Biddle,
Omaha, both intend to take part in the
tournament here next month, and both
object to a knock-out tournament. The
Chess Editor suggests that but four
players enter each section, and that the
six games be finished in one day. That
the next day the winners of the sections
enter class A, the second place players
enter class B, etc., and play three more
games each. And on the third day have
the winners of class A, B, C, etc., com
pete for the championship.
The Boston Post's chess column con
tinues to be about the brightest one

We can do no better service to our
class than to republish some of young
Marshall's games in the Paris tourna
ment They are models of how to con
duct the Petroff counter attack.
From the Brooklyn Eagle score of the
contest between Marshall and Pills
bury, played in the eleventh round on
June T, being the second sensation that
the young Brooklynite sprung on his
competitors. It seems astonishing and
is certainly indicative of Marshall's fear
lessness, that he should adopt the Pet
roff defense against the American cham
pionf who used the same opening so suc
cessfully against Lasker at St. Peters
burg. Both emerge from the opening
hostilities on even terms. On the thir
teenth movePillsbury allowed himself
to be drawn into a pretty little snap, the
real force of which he evidenly could not
have properly gauged. Marshall gave
up two minor pieces for a rook and a
pawn, but had an overwhelming superi
ority in position. - Pillsbury's king
found himself in sore straits, while most
of hia pieces were peculiarly tied tip on
the queen's side and unable to bring re
lief. The Brooklynite, however, pressed
the attack with splendid accuracy and
finally came out a rook ahead. The
score follows:

After studying the position, the Chess
Editor concluded that Black could play
1 Kt-K4 and prolong the game
many moves; that White could win
eventually, however, because of hi four
pawns plus against Black's additional
minor piece, but that White could not
mate in seven or twice.seven moves. In
order to secure the ideas of others, he
challenged members of his cla&i to play
the attack. '
