destroyed with the loss of only one
man killed and one man wounded, the
opportunity for doing better is not very
apparent.
Admiral Dewey brought out a point
that was not down on the program of
either the prosecution or defense. In
his testimony regarding the chase of
the Coles by the Brooklyn and Oregon
Lieutenant Doyle said:
"Thn the Oregon was signaled to
Sre at the Colon with her 13-inch
area."
Qsiek as a flash Admiral Dewey
asked:
"Who gave that signal?"
"Admiral Schley of the Brooklyn,
the witness replied.
For tfcre years the bureau of navi
gation has maintained that Commo
dore Schley never gave a signal to
any other ship during the battle.
Here it was demonstrated, so far as an

Something About Presidents.
There is no subject in which the
average American takes a deeper inter
est than that of the personality of the
presidents. The chief magistrate is
the symbol of national unity. He 13
the representative of every man, wom
an and child. He has one or more
points of contact with all citizens. A
majority of them have seen him or tak
en him by the hand, practically all
have read of him. hare looked oa his
picture and take pride la his achieve
ments Ia bis personality he epitomizes
the national life. He Is placed before
the world as the embodiment of Amer
ican ideals and aspirations.
Despite the fact that we are a peace
loving people, a majority of our pres
idents have been soldiers. All of these
have come from the array, notwith
standing our long list of naval heroes.
We have never allowed a sailor to ru
the ship of state.
Of the twenty-five, only twenty have
been elected by the people, the other
five being vice presidents who suc
ceeded to the office.
When the present term is completed
the period will have extended over
113 years, a little over four and a half
years to each man.
New York and Virginia tie. each
having furnished five of the number.
Of these, one from Virginia, Tyler,
and three from New York. Fillmore,
Arthur and Roosevelt, were vice pres
idents who became presidents through
the death of their chiefs. Next to
these states come Ohio with four, Ten
nessee with three, one of them, John
son, a vice president; Illinois two,
Massachusetts two and New Hamp
shire. Pennsylvania, Louisiana and
Indiana one each.
Nine of the number came from
south of Mason and Dixon's line and
sixteen from the north. All of the
southerners held office before the civil
war except Johnson. None of our
chief executives have come from west
of the Mississippi river.
In politics, two were federalists, five
were whigs. If John Qulncy Adams can
be so classed; nine were democrats
and nine were republicans.
Only seven held office eight years
Washington. Jefferson, Madison. Mon
roe. Jackson, Grant and Cleveland.
Five died or were killed in office, two
of these, Lincoln and McKlnley, being
on their second terms.
The presidents have been long on
neither whiskers nor names, only
eight of them Indulged in hirsute con
cealment. Of these. Lincoln went
smooth-faced nearly all of his life,
but had a partial beard while presi
dent. Grant, Hayes. Garfield and Har
rison had full brardi. The courtly
Arthur supported a side whisker,
while Cleveland and Roosevelt are
content with a mustache. In this con
nection it is worthy of note that hard
ly any of the number have been bald.
The names of the presidents fur

rather unusual. Ten of them ended

MARVELOUS CURES
A Record That Bests Christian Science anal
- -the Patent Medicine Certificates
Two to One
For several weeks the New York pa
pers have been telling stories of mar
velous cures that have occurred at the
church of St. Jean de Baptiste in New
York., The Independent has no doubt
that the good priests there and the
people who tell these stories are ab
solutely honest. If a look is taken at
the list of diseases said to be eradi
cated, it will be seen that they are all
Uong the line where "suggestive heal
ing" has had so many successes. It
will not be long before every medical
college will .have a chair of sugges
tive therapeutics. The foundation for
it was laid more than a hundrt i. years
i.go and the medical books written at
that time have much about the effect
of the mind upon the body. The latest
account of this sort of healing sent out
from the church in New York ap
peared In all the Sunday papers and
was substantially as follows:
Blindness, paralysis, cancer and
other diseases usually considered in
curable are among the maladies that,
it is alleged, have been cured as a re
sult of the novena of St. Anne, held
recently at the church of St. Jeaa da
Baptiste, in East Seventy-second St.,
where the relic of the saint is kept.
Scores of once afflicted persons have
returned to show that they have bea
restored to health and have left their
names and addresses with the priests.
All through the summer the fathers
in charge received the crowds that
poured into the little church and
prayed with the suffering who went in
faith to the shrine. Some were car
ried, some went on crutches or were
supported by braces of steel, and many
went silently away, ajid the priests
could never know the good that had
been done until gratitude broughc the
testimony which has made a list cf
cases that has attracted the attention
of many prominent physicians.
Little Mary Burns had been suffer
ing from chronic hip disease, the re
sult of sciatic rheumatism, nd wore a
steel brace, without which she was un
able to walk a step. She was taken
by her mother to the church day after
day and one morning, the mother be
ing 111, the child went alone. All pain
left her as she prayed, it is said, and,
removing the brace, she laid it with
others beside the altar and walked
down the church aisls. On reaching
the street the little girl found she had
lost her car fare and walked home. The
cure, it Is said, has yeen permanent,
and Mary is attending school.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lavender bad
a little son who had ben afHicted with
paralysis since his birth, four years
ago. He had been carried about on a
pillow. After several days' prayer at
the church. It is said Mrs. Lavender
removed the supports, and the child
could walk. Though ha ha3 since been
weakened by pleuro-pneumonia, he is
able to walk without support.
Miss Mary Phelan, who a few months
ago was almost totally blind with an
ulcer in one eye, which was gradually
destroying her sight, applied to the
church for help, and arose at 5 o'clock
every morning to pray at the shrine
before she went to her day's work. At
the end of a few days the disease of the
eye, which has bafi'.cd the skill of phy
sicians and oculists was. she says, en
tirely gone, leaviig her able to sew and
read almost as well as she did in her
youth.
These cases are only a few on the
long list shown by the prints, each
one of which has been shown to wit
nesses and all of which are sxhibitad
as instances of the work done by faith
during the novena.
C. H. GERE TURNS POP
Ha Writes at Letter to the Chicago Tribune
Assenting; the Same Principles That Ha
Has Fought tha Fusloaista
for Holding;
A search of the Chicago papevs re
vealed the following letter from C. H.
Gere. It will be remembered that -he
has fought the fusionists with slander,
bitterness and vituperation for the last
four years for holding and advocating
that corporations were creatures of
the state and that tha state should
have and exercise absolute control
over them. When Attorney General
Smyth undertook to regulata these
corporations according t that prin
ciple he had no more persistent enemy
to fight than C. H. Gere and the p&per
which he edits. Now Gere has. seen a
new light, or perhaps this letter is only
intended for use outside of the state
while he fights for every trust and cor
poration in the state. Populist doc
trines are getting exceedingly popular,
not only in Chicago, but all over the
east and perhaps Gere thought that if
he could get a little reflected glory
from populism, 4he would be better
looking. The letter was as follows:
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 5. To the Tri
bune, Chicago: Heartily concur with
President Roosevelt. As a Creature
of the state corporations represents di
rectly the sovereignty and dignity of
the state and the state is directly re
sponsible for its business morality,
and she should control it so far as nec
essary to guarantee ' the integrity of
its dealings. Annual publication of
its transactions and methods, receipts
and expenses, properly attested, is the
first step. A tribunal should exist
wherein a state that recklessly grants
charters with extraordinary privileges
without the checks and limitations
now considered reasonable and neces
sary by conservative statesmen, could
be brought to book. An amendment to
the federal constitution is perhaps ad
visable. clearly defining these limits
and making them a required condition
to the privilege of transacting busi
ness in another state. This would pro
vide a tribunal In the United States su
preme court. In the absence of such
an amendment, congress might reach
the transgressors under the interstate
commerce clause of the constitution,
by confining to the" boundaries of the
resident state the business of a cor
poration "whose charter confers dan
gerous powers and privileges, such as
owning and operating at the same time
railroad and steamship lines, coal and
turing plants of a general nature,
banking, buying and selling real es
tate, grain, lumber and other commo
dities. C. H. GERE,

Closing of the Honemakers
Settlement,
Since the last issue of The Indepen
dent we have met with the represen
tative of the owner of the lands se
lected for our settlement and have
agreed on the terms of the contract.
These terms had to be submitted to
the owner who is In the east atTpresent
ana were agreed to by him just as we
go to press. It remains now to make
a final . inspection in detail of the
tract, before making a payment there
on. Secretary C. Q. De France will
assume charge of the management of
the Home Makers business affairs af
ter this week, see to the collection of
the final payment when required and
all necessary details. It is the inten
tion to send a representative to the
Settlement in the near future, where
the company will establish an office
To get all matters In shape at the Lin
coln office, make the final Inspection
of the land, start and finish the plat
ting of the townsite and acreage
tracts will consume several weeks
time. We propose to make haste slow
ly in so important an undertaking
do things right as we go. We know
that quite a number of our members
are anxious to remove to the settle
ment at once, and therefore will ex
pedite matters with as little delay as
possible. We did all In our power,
and had members joined earlier in the
summer this whole matter could be
finished now.
During the time intervening be
tween now and the signing up of the
final papers we will still accept a few
more members and provide for them
by . the purchase of additional land
After, that, which will take a week or
ten , days, no more members will be
accepted. . Whoever desires to join
must do so at once so we can make
proper provisions.
We. now have sufficient members for
the Home Makers Settlement, it is only
by .our ability to add adjoining land,
that we are enabled to provide for a
few. more members provided their ap
plications reach this office before the
final closing of the . contract. Many
desire to join, but for one reason or
another have been delayed, in doing
so, for such we will provide If they are
prompt In making application. Oth
ers labored under the Impression that
the Home Makers company was in the
land business and that they could buy
lands at any future time, they will of
course find their error when too late
We have written columns upon col
umns, giving every detail of the entire
plan and in such plain language that
all might understand. As stated last
week, the matter is ready to close, and
will close. We need not take another
member and only do so as a matter of
accommodation.
President P. L. Marv. who has had
charge of filling the membership, has
since his return from Utah, two
months ago, performed a great amount
of work, and has made a remarkable
success of the undertaking. The mem
bership " being now brought together,
the hardest and most trying part of
the work Is accomplished. We desire
to congratulate our members and all
concerned on the result. Mr. Mary will
hereafter give his counsel and advise
In the settlement of the members, but
the active management will be in
charge of and under the direction or
Secretary De France. Mr. Mary will
devote his time In the development of
plans and preliminaries for the found
ing of a still larger undertaking on
the line of Home Making than the one
lust broueht to a success. His un
swerving faith in the great future for
the irrigated regions of the lnter
mountain country together with his
experience in this line of work be
speaks success.

" '"A CASK FOB TEX DOCTOR.
Little Mildred-lives in Kenwood aad
is in the habit of playing with Ethel,
whose father preaches to one of the
most fashionaole congregations on the
South Side. This gentleman has the
proud right to attach D. D. to his
name, 'so everybody but his daughter
calls hhn "doctor." . " "
One day lost week Mildred ran over
to the minister's house, and, finding
Ethel, asked if her father was at home.
Well, I ' want , to see him right
away, the little girl said, when she
learned that the reverend gentleman
was Dusy.
. "What's the trouble?" asked Ethel's
mother, who overheard the two chil
dren talking.
"I must see the doctor, Mildred said,
"and It's a hurry case. Nobody else will
do." :' - :' ' ; ' - :'
After further appeals and additional
declarations , of the presence . of an
emergency vhe child was taken Into
the minister's study, where, without
waiting to , be asked for an explana
tion, she cried: -
"Oh, doctor, my kitten's awful sick,
ana won 5 you please come right away
and do something for it,"

minister comfort to dying sinners," the
doctor added after telling the story,

MAKE JOKE OF DISCIPLINE.
. Among other good stories told by
Cyrus Townsend; Brady In his' "Under
Tops'ls and lents" is this. It is re
lated that a large number of naval
cadets were negligent in following the
service in the chapel, which was after
the ritual of the Episcopal church. An
Incautious officer in charge on Sunday
morning made a little address to the
church party on the-subject, saying h
supposed that some of them erred
through ignorance, but if they would
observe him carefully and do as he did
(In military parlance, follow the mo
tions of the commanding officer) t' r
would not wrong. Word was pat . d
quietly through the battalion. 1 They
marched into the church. The officer
In charge too a his place In the front
pew, settled himself ia his seat and
calmly blew his nose. Three hundred
noses were blown simultaneously with
a vehemence that was startling. The
officer looked around and blushed vio
lently In great surprise. Three hundred
heads "followed the motions of the
commanding officer." Six hundred
cheeks violently tried to blush a hard
thing for a midshipman to do and so
on through the service. The man could
not stir without instant imitation. He
fi iliy confined himself strictly to the
pi .scribed: ritual of the service, look
ing neither to the right nor to the left,
not daring to raise a finger or breathe
out of the ordinary course. This en
terprise also was a startling success.
The cadets received other instructions
later In the day from a furious officer
who sternly resented their Innocent
statements that they did not know
which was ritual and which was not,
and that -e had not instructed them
that blowing his nose stood on a dif
ferent plane from saying his prayers.
It was a huge joke everywhere.
The Commoners
(Mr. Bryan's Paper.)
The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first is
sue a circulation of 100,000 copies, a
record probably never equaled in the
history, of American periodical litera
ture. The unparalleled growth of this
paper demonstrates that there is room
in the newspaper field for a national
paper, devoted to the discussion of
political, economic, and social prob
lems. To the columns of The Com
moner Mr. Bryan contributes his best
efforts; and his review of political
events as they arise from time to time
can not fall to interest those who
study public questions.
The Commoner's regular subscrip
tion price is $1.00 per year. We have
arranged with Mr. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and The Nebras
ka Independent together for one year
for 1.50. The regular subscription
price of the two papers when sub
scribed for separately is $2.00.
