which of course was a novelty to us, so
far as the "Wild" cat money was con
cerned, but, the confederate money was
not as we had seen the same. Mr.
Harmon had besides, a copy of the New

which contained the sad news of the as
sassination of president Lincoln, to the
minutest detail. They are keepsakes
which Mr. Harmon wauld not dispose of

Daring the, tim that our institute

instance be given secondary considera

ranks among the foremost educators in

how much they have missed. Much cre

We did not reach Gothenburg oo Moo
day night as we expected, but drew up
under some mammoth maple trees by
the side of the road about a mi. from
that place. It htokt-d, very ranch like
rain so we !1 the h-rs iiiyVr the trees
and gave liiui hiy, ami i rrd t-alleii at!
the nearest house to buy bread and milk.
It rained very liard on him ht-fore he got i
back, so after getting into dry clothing
we ate our supperv, bnt it continued to
rain harder, and our cover was a yery
poor protection, but we oon discovered
we could nut remain there as the water
was getting very deep all around us.
So Fred lared his feet and wad'.d in and
found the horses standing in water to
their knee. It was made light enough
to work by, for it was one continual
flash of Ightning after another aDd one
peal after another, of thunder, and
storming so hard that it was diflicult to
make the team face it, but with thaqk
ful hearts we readied a lam where we
all found khelter. our bedding was most
ly wet, but we have all come through
noe the worse for the wettin. The
next morniog Fred rod tha Saddle horse
into Gotheusburg while we used the pub
lic highway and wire fence for clothes
lino and by ten o'clock was ready to
move on. We deckled to travel the
north side of the river and it was woll
wa did for the high water would have
hindered us noudi, 4 Inches of water fell
that uight, and at CoKird inches,
found one man with a tub of fish bo had
picked up along the ditches. Some
fields of corn look well, others ilestroyetl
h banners and hot winds. Fine farms
groves, and pretty farm houses wore a
continual feast to our eyos, Wednes
day night we were in another rain, but
not nearly so hard as our ottter adven
ture, we tamped I" a lovely grove, so
thick a rain cuuld nardly find us.
After Thursday Morning we saw no
hoppers, hut oh such nig corn fields and
some very nice ones, and mostly
very clean. We crossed tbe river at
Kearney, lots of water in the different
channels, and followed the R. R. from
there on, the old horse getting so tired
lie had sobered down some. The last
night we camped about two miles from
Grand Island. The rest of the family
were very much elated over the near
approach of our destination, but I had
become so very mnch fatigued during
the last two days that it did ant interest
me very much. We thought to n.eke it j
before we stopped for dinner bat Fred
concluded a cup of ten woulJ be tha best
thing for ma just then, so we stopped.'

What Imperialism Means.
"Imperialism,' as defined and pro
moted by tbe Republican candidate for
preniJent and the party behind him,
means a departure from the style of re
publican government, government by
the peoplu, established by the coui-titu
lion. It means the creating of a lare
and costly standing army to tuaiuuin a
government of colonics in far dit-tant
points of the globe, to be ruled by
satraps w ho are stipendiaries of a ceu
trali?d power which enriches its follow

Adniinistratiou organs, throughout

cause Bryan, in his spe0'' of acceptance
did not say enough to suit their fancy,
about silver. Too bad! But the veil of
hypocrisy under which these salaried sy
rens, would lure the thinking masses is
too frail, and the very slightest breath of
truth tears it aside, and all who care to,
may see the real motive of those paid
votaries, of tbe Mcllanna band wagon,
their aim though a most fruitless one,
is to sew discord, if possible among the
followers of our standard bearer, Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, aud thus possibly
gaiu a few votes for a man with a mind,
which is net bis own, and a will which
he dares not exercise, and who today is
in favor of bimetallism ana tomorrow
against it, who at one moment is iu fa
vor of fre trade with Porto Rico, and
the next against it Do the American
people waat such a man for president?.
This question is of much t.:ore impor
tacne to our people just now than wheth
er or not W. J, Bryan, devoted luucli
or little space to silver, in his speech of
acceptance, all Voovf just bow be stands
on the ttilvcr.quektiou.
