The occasion was the opening of ti eity park combined with a festival coiid.H',tu'l by the Independent Order of Odd b'ellows We wore very much impressed with the enterprise and pro-(fres-jlveness of this prairie city. It has every appearance of thrift, it people are good imtured,eiiergeiioand past masters in the.art of entertaining. There were fully three thousand, people hi atteudauce and so far as we could see everj one of that number felt per fectly at home. (Jood feeling pievail- ed all the t'.nie The paiU which was formally opened and gien to the public covers a large block of giound, Is centrally located aud is plentifully studded with thrifty trees. Great care has been expended in raising of these ttees and any com munity in Nebraska might well feel proud in having such a luxury. Every speaker advertised appeared ou the platform aud they, were all ac corded the closest attention. Prompt ly at ten o'clock the large crowd gath ered at the pavilion lu the park aud V. C. Dorsey publlcally donated the grounds to the public lu a carefully prepared address. This address was a real scholarly composition and well merited the generous applause which was accorded it. E. J. Overiug Jr. of this city then delivered a thirty minute address on Odd Fellowship which was well received. Hon. A. O. Shalleuborger, candidate for tho United States senate, was iu tnAuccd aud given an enthusiastic tWlcome: The people listened eHgeily to what the lW-Oovernor had to say and by their fnqueut applause showed that they appieciated him and weie with him heartily As we all know Mr. Shallenbeigcr is a polished llnish ed orator and this addiess was fully " i M ,, Don't Buy a Wooden Silo!

Ho cuptmed hl audi ence fiom the startaud held it thiough his entire discourse The noon hour was given over to dinner after which a large automobile ivrade went through the sticets bring ing up again at the speakers stand. Hon. S. 11. Barton delivered a siioit talk ill which he stated that he would give way to the heavy weights that were to follow him. Governor Aldrich was then Introduced and gave an ad dress p'aitly puuotuuM with his pleas ant experiences at the Chicago couven tiou. One could not help but feel that the Governor was a little undecided which way to jump but he quite skill fully avoided delluate statements as to his position in the present political situation. He was given respectful attention and was frequently applaud ed. 'Hon. J H. Moorehead, caudidate for Governor ou the Democratic ticket, was the next speaker and iu a few well chosen words he expressed his pleas ure iu being permitted to meet for the first time a western audleucc. He stated that he had always fought for what was right and equitable aud that the people of his home district had al ways seut him to the legislature with out Instruction or strings or any klud. Mr. Moorehead made a very favorable impression ou the audleuce and they realized that he Is a man large enough aud safe enough to be intrusted will the highest oftice In the state. Hon. It. D. Sutherland was the last speaker on tho program and he cer tainly was a prime favorite. Every body was with him all the time. He made hit after hit and was frequently Interrupted with applause.

Even the semi-large cities of the land do not produce as good music as thin Upland choir aud we congratulate that place on their good fortune. The otlior Odd Fellows that went from this city were A. 11. Saladen, Wilbur Hamilton mid W. L. Weesner all of whom report that they had a most enjoyable time. The cele bration was a complete success In erery particular and the Upland people have done the handsome thing. The Boy Scouts and Ny Boy A True Story for Mothers, by a Mother (Continued from last week) Shortly after that the Boy sent thirty pi eclous cents to Scout head- quartets fur a Scout Manual. It was with him 1h y and night. I am moder ately cei tain he slept with it under his pillow. I sent for one myself, tak ing caie the Boy should not know I had done so, nud 1 read It with a criti cal eye. There weie places in it that seemed to me a good deal claptrap, a kind of playing at make-believe; something here and there which, to my way of thinking, is forced or cheap and uso less; something which lacks sense aud sinceiity. Maybe this is merely a woman's native misunderstanding aud misappiehension of a man's world, but 1 am telling you frankly the Impi ess ion the whole thing made on me. I I did-uot like the "dramatics" of it. I found, about that time, quite a little iu the magazines, too, about the organ ization, and I remember reading with a good "deal of digust how .the Scout master sometimes pretended to be bad ly hurt aud preteuds to faint, so that, thus fooling the boys, he may better give them a genuine (I) lesson iu llrst aid to the injured. I read that one leader pretended to be lost in some big stretch of woods, so that the boys would get the genuine lost-ln-the-woods scare, such as the wilderness pioneers had; aud there were other such accounts. All of this, as well as many other minor details of the Scout movement, I disapproved of, do still disapproe of thoioughly. I thought them then, aud I still think them, cheap and un worthy; but in that Manual, as 1 icad it, tlieie were pages, too, that glowed with the light fiom a boy's own world. Also, thcic was the page of Scout laws, reading which, something iu me got to its feet aud saluted as a cadet salutes a superior ollicer. Ou paqe IU of the Scout Manual there is to bu found the following: Tiik Twki.vk Points ok tiik Scout Law 1 A Scout is trustworthy '2. A Scout is loyal . It. A Hcout is helpful ' 4. A Hcout Is friendly 5. A Scout Is courteous tl. A Scout is kind 7. A fJeout h obedient 8. A boout is cheerful 11. A Scout is thrifty 10. A Scout is brave 11. A pcout is clean 1'J.

Hut these are Scout Laws, mind you, not advice and admonitions, not hopes backed by maternal pleadings find fears,lbut laws, self-imposed when the Scout takes his oath; for iu taking the oath lu piomises to obey these laws.

The right Scout master was not easy to choose. 'I he boys found It hard to agree. Finally their choice rested on a young fellow who was nothing his way through law school. Ht had some Induiu blood in liiuj, and the hoys thrust on him the lioijor aud, it may be added, the labor of .being their Scout-master. From then ou the Scouts met twice a week.

If you have, I think you cauuot do bet ter than to look into tho Scout move ment. He is sure to hear of it, aud, if he is any where near twelve, or thirteen, or fourteen, lie is pretty sure to want to join It. I beg you, too, not to put anything in his way: and then, furth er, I beg you to keep your hands oh". Your part is to listen when he talks to you about it; to approve; to have a good supper waiting for him when he oomes back from his Scout tramps, and to continue to say your prajors at night for him.

Another Old Soldier Cone Bilward E. Kasser, was the youngest of tho three Kasser boys, who lu 1SI51, offered up their young lives in defense of the Hag of their country. We are not sure but that there was another brother, Christian, who also enlisted. Christian, if we have the name correct ly, died very soon after taking his homestead. As we remember, the three Kassers who first came to Ne braska in 1870, were John, Gottlieb and Christian. Edward Kusser did not come here until several years later. They were all Milwaukee boys, aud en listed in Wisconsin regiments. The dead man served in Co.
