During the terrific rain of the night
of the 23d, a two and a half year old
child of Fred Baltz jr., living six miles
south of Fremont, was lost. The child
wandered away from the house about
6 o'clock in the evening with a Shep
herd dog at his side. As tbe time wore
on a search was made about the prem
ises and the child was not to be found
The clouds were gathering and it
ooked as if a violent storm were com
ing. Search parties were organized in
haste and the country near the house
was searched. About s ociock the
storm broke, but the search was kept
up until 11 o'clock the next day when
tae little fellow was found guarded by
the faithful dog and apparently un
harmed.
The storm of the 23d was widespread
and did much damage. At Friend much
injury was done to buildings and

Outrageous Mendacity
The absolute mendacity of the re
publican press of Nebraska Is shown
this week by the twisting of and com
ment upon the report of Mr. C. Q. De
France made to the governor concern
ing the books and accounts of the Ne
braska institute for the feeble-minded
youtn at Beatrice. The State Journal
and the Omaha Bee, followed by
Blanch, Tray and all the rest, declare
that -the report shows a shortage of
$4,000 at that institution.
The report shows nothing of the
kind. It does not show a shortage of a
cent, and could not show a shortage.
Mr. DeFrance went over the accounts
of that institution, cnecked them up
and made a balance sheet which
showed a balance due from Dr. Lang
of $3,997.78 on the 15th day of August.
There is a separate account with ev
ery inmate at the institution and ev
ery parent or guardian of an inmate,
or the county from which he comes,
must keep a fund in the hands of the
superintendent in addition to the farm
and other funds which are under his
control. The mere fact that the books
show a balance of $4,000 in the hands
of Dr. Lang Is no more evidence of a
shortage at that institution than is the
statement of August 1 showing a bal
ance of $600,000 In the various funds
of the state treasurer an evidence of
a shortage in that office.
It is pretty safe to say that any story
told by the republican newspaper - pi
rates of Nebraska during these August
days are lies of the highest order of
mendacity. :
In this case Mr. DeFrance balanced
the books and reported the result. He
made no report of a shortage, nor did
he have any reason to suspect one.
DeafnM Cannot be Cured
by local applications.as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure Deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. , When this tuber gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sduhd br imperfect
bearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases' out
of ten are caused by catarrh, -which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Not Satisfactory
In one of the New York financial re
ports occurs the following:
"The Industrials look decidedly hea
vy, and their movements suggest an
early slump of considerable propor
tions. Holdings of this class of stock
are quite large, but they are distributed
among men of means. Were it not
for this fact a collapse in many of
them would have occurred weeks ago.
It is feared that a crash in the steel
securities , will come before long that
will upset the whole market. Nobody
knows the real condition of the iron
industry, but, from the action of offi
cials of big steel and iron corporations,
it is very evident that things are not
moving satisfactory. There is talk
of a general reduction in wages. Such
a step would result in numerous
strikes, and many mills would have
to be shut down. If we were not en
tering upon a presidential campaign,
wages would be cut down without de
lay, and more than one-half of the
mills of the country would be closed
down Indefinitely. McKinley's chance
of re-election would be imperiled by
such action, and this consideration is
a barrier to the adoption of drastic
measures."
It is instructive to be told that in
these piping times of McKinley pros
perity the only thing to prevent a gen
eral reduction of wages is the fear on
the part of the protected barons that
"McKinley's chance or re-election
would be imperiled."

Some Suggestions
If you want to do the most effective
campaign work get up a club of sub
scriptions for The Independent. There
are many republicans wno, if they
knew the facts concerning the war in
the Philippines and tbe imperialistic
policy of the administration, would
desert the republican party and be
most enthusiastic in their opposition
Ho-it, The-bulk of-republieaa votera
are honest, but the leaders of that
party have kept them m ignorance of
its real intentions and they do not
realize the danger and disaster that
will follow four more years of imper
ialism with its wars of conquest, in
creased armies and navies, favoritism
to trusts and national banks, and sub
serviency to the foreign .money power.
Do you not know several intelligent
republicans in your neighborhood who,
if they knew the facts, would surely
desert that party? If you do. why not
get them to subscribe for The Inde
pendent or if they will not subscribe,
why not send it to them at your own
expense? Or if you cannot afford to
pay for it from your own means, why
not make up a list and send it to the J
county committeeman with a sugges
tion to him that he have The Inde
pendent sent to them during the cam
paign. The campaign fund cannot
be expended to better advantage.
Our Exchange Table
When republicans tell us that ex
Governor Boyd, J. Sterling Morton and
men of their kind are opposed to Bry
an and in favor of McKinley they
greatly strengthen our faith in the
righteousness of our cause. They sim
ply call our attention to the fact that
Bryan democracy is to Cleveland and
old-time democracy as Lincoln repub
licanism is to the republicanism of
McKinley and Mark Hanna. The old
time democrats are finding a congen
ial home in the present degenerated
republican party. Birds of a feather
flock together. As tbe old bourbon
rock-ribbed reprobates of the demo
cratic party go out the good people of
the country are inclined to come in,
and these exits give us the strongest
possible evidence that the democratic
party under Bryan has beeu regen
erated. This cleaning out process and
change of leadership Is what has giv
en the new democracy the confidence
of populists and Lincoln republicans.

MORTGAGED BABIES.
It has been estimated that over sev
enty babies are born into the world ev
ery minute. Most or these are mort
gaged to the bondholder. The parents
of most of them can't help it; but in
this "land of the free and home of the
brave" there is no excuse for permit
ting it. A man ought to be ashamed
to look his child in the face when he
knows that he has never lifted a hand,
not even his voice, against the plot
tings that has made that child a bond
ed servant. We ought to look at home
when it comes to freeing foreign peo
ple. We created more bond slavery at
home in "freeing" tae Cubans, and if
this war and military preparations Is
to continue we will be bonded still
heavier to "civilize" the orientals.
'True charity begins at .home" is a
rule that ought to be applied in this
case. We can find plenty of men who
would take up a gun and go to some
distant land to "free" its people who
would not even raise a voice to free
their own kith and kin from bonded
servitude. We call this misplaced pa
triotism Philo (I1L) Budget,
The State Journal boasts a good deal
ebout the great prosperity of Nebras
ka. Of course Nebraska is getting
along nicely. She has been blessed with
a series of good crops and with four
years of populist rule. Why shouldn't
her people be happy and prosperous?

Kansas exehanees are now engaged

Mrmrc PEDIGREE THAN PUP.
Charlie Dietrich, the republican can
iMitP fnr eovernor of Nebraska, re
cently printed a history of his origin
and life, tracing his genealogical ae
cfTit from the Boers. This he was
very proud of, and as one of the com
mon origin, be pointed to tne iaci max.
he is now a wealthy banker as a strong
argument why. he should be elected
governor. But a little later on, the
republican national convention met
and that body indignantly voted down
a resolution expressing sympathy for
the Boers, and now Colonel Dietrich
is claiming to be of Frencn extraction.
It would certainly keep a man. dodg
ing to keep in line with the republican
platforms of later day construction.

IS IT WORSE?
People who are finding fault with
the constitutional amendment just
passed in North Carolina requiring
voters to be able to read and write,
forget that in Delaware voters must
pay a registration fee of $5; in Geor
gia all taxejj must be-paidj.-in Massa-
chusetts they must be able to read
and write English; in Mississippi they
must read and understand the consti
tution. The republicans are trying to
make capital out of this educational
qualification, but is It any worse in
North Carolina than In Massechusetts.

The farmers of this nation are the
sufferers by "expansion." The price
of breadstuffs will never advance as
long as the trust-ridden republican
party is dominated by the wheat and
meat monopolists who arbitrarily set
the price of these commodities, from
day to day, regardless of supply and
demand, because they are backed by
the knowledge that they, being also
dictators in the money markets, can
absolutely change conditions for their
own profit. The election of Mr. Bry
an means the speedy overthrow of the
worst enemies of the farmer. -Kearney
