Dawes. Jndeo M.
City, the latter being tho oldest living
pioneer of the state, and Mayor Weir.
In his opening remarks Gov. Furnas
Jlu1 to tho early days of Nebraska.
Ho spoke of pioneer hardships and pio
neer friendship. Ho said that in those
days, long gono by, ho believed that
the sun shono brighter, tho rain was
moro refreshing, tho skies wero moro
beautiful. Ho said that tho pioneers
slept sounder, nto moro heartily and
enjoyed life moro than tho people who
lived in these moro rapid days. Look
ing from tho past to tho future, Gov.
Furnas stated that tho old settlers wero
not ashamed of tho state which they
had labored to build up, and which they
would leave as un inhcrituueo tolhclr
children.
Judge Marquette's address was large
ly historical. He was an active partici
pant in tho stirring events preceding
and during tho admission of tho state,
and was able to give much Insldo his
tory that was entirely new to many of
tho nudience. Ho reviewed at length
the history of the statehood movement
nnd noted Its several failures. Ho drew
many word pictures, In which ho held
up to vtow tho great men of tho nation
who had espoused tho causo of Nebras
ka Abraham Lincoln, Hen Wade, Sen
ator Sumner and others. His remin
iscences of tho efforts of Thayer, Senn
tor Tipton and himself to induce con
gress to pass tho bill admitting tho
state wero both Interesting nnd amus
ing, especially his description of tho
manner in which they figured out a
population of 80,000 out of a posslblo
23,000. Judge Marquette's address was
frequently applauded and was ono of
tho best of his many good speeches.
Following Judge Marquette Judgo
Hnywnrd, of Nobraska City, delivered
an oration on "Tho Judiciary of Ne
braska for Twcnty-Hvo Years." As
Indicated by tho title, Judge I lay ward's
nddress was devoted to a historical re
view of tho judicial history of tho state.
Ho related many reminiscences qf men
who havo worn the ermlno In tho state;
referred to many historical cases, and
discussed many legal matters that havo
passed Into tho history of Nebraska;
many laughable Incidents wero related
which proved that judicial dignity has
not always been manifested in the
ntato. Tho address closed with a de
scription of an ideal judiciary.
Tho finnl oratiun of tho evening was
delivered by Hon. W. F. Norrls, of Pon
ca, who spoke on "Nebraska as a State."
Judgo Norrls' address was a fitting closo
to tho exercises of tho evening. It was
a masterly effort nnd seldom has tho
grund state of Nebraska been so elo
quently described. The speaker touched
upon tho wonderful fertility of tho soli,
tho marvelous development of agricul
tural resources and tho magnificent fu
ture of tho state. "Ncbrasku," ho said,
"Is tho great home state of tho union,
the highest dignity and honor which
nny state can attain. Nebraska Is tho
central state of the union tho keystone
state of America."

FAOTS ABOUT THE ANT.
Mat Specimen af tha Vfonderfal Intcllt
Xenca of tha Uttla Intact.
The remarkablo intelligence of this
little animal has excited tho wonder
and admiration of mankind. Darwin
remarked that its brain "Is one of the
most marvelous atoms of matter in the
world, perhaps moro so than the brain
sf man."
To test the power of memory in the
ant Sir John Lubbock first tried keep
ing an ant away from its nest for mora
than a year nnd then restoring it Ho
found that it was immediately recog
nized and caressed by its old friends
and associates, ilo I repeated this ex
periment a number of times, and with
tho same result In order to dccclvo tho
ants in tho nest a foreigner was Intro
duced In place of tho one taken away,
but tho ants i nimedlately detected tha
deception and severely maltreated the
intruder.
On the duration of memory in nnts w
have the following observation of Mr.
Helt, quoted by Mr. Romanes: In Juno,
18S0, Mr. Rolfs garden was Invaded by
lcaf-eatlng ants. He found their neat
about ono hundred yards distant from
his garden, and poured down their bur
rows a pint of common brown curbolio
acid mixed with four buckets of water.
"Tho marauding parties were at once
drawn off from the garden to meet the
danger at home, and the whole formi
ca rlum was disorganized, tho ants run
ning up and down again in the utmost
perplexity."
Next day Mr. Belt found them bnsily
employed bringing up tho ant food from
tho old burrows and carrying It to now
ly formed ones a few yards distant
These, however, turned out to be only
intended as temporary repositories; foi
in a few days both the old and the new
burrows were entirely deserted, so that
Mr. Belt supposed all tho ants to have
died. Subsequently, however, lie found
that they had migrated to a new site,
about 200 yards from the old one, and
there established themselves in a new
nest
Twelve months later the animals
again invaded his garden', and again lit
treated them to a strongidose of carbolic
acid. Tho nnts, as on the previous oc
casion, were at once withdrawn from
tho garden, und two days afterward h
found all the survivors at work on one
track that led directly to the old nest ol
tho 3'ear before, where they were busily
employed in making fresh excavations.
Many were bringing along pieces ol
"ant food" from the nest most recently
deluged with carbolia acid to tha4
which had been similarly deluged a
vear before, and from which all the car
bolic acid had long ago disappeared.
"Others enrried the undeveloped white
pupto and larvte. It was a wholesale
and entire migration" and the next day
the nest down which he had poured
arbolla acid was entirely deserted.
Mr. Uolt adds: "I afterward found
that when much disturbed and many
of the ants destroyed, the s urvivors mi
grate to a new locality. I do not doubt
that some of tlie leading minds in this
formicarium recollected the nest of the
year before and directed the migration
to it"
On the duration of memory in ants
Mr. Romanes further quotes from a
statement of Karl Vogt "that for sev
eral successive yea rs unts from a cer
tain nest used to go through certain in
habited streets to a chemist's shop six
hundred meters distant in order to ob
tain access to a vessel filled with sirup.
"As it cannot bo supposed that this
vessel was found in successive working
seasons by as many sucoessivo accidents
It can only bo concluded that tho ants
remombered tho sirup storo from season
to season. Chambers' Journal.

August
Flower"
r
For two years I suffered terribly
with ctoinach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a,
physician. He finally, after trying:
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec
ommendation of a friend I procured
a bottle of August Flower. It seem
ed to do me good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. I feeh
now like a new man, and consider
that August Flower has cured me."
