The Soldier Sentiments of Senator Allen
Ilia IntereU In tind Efforts For
Thono Who Saved the Conntry
Congressman Strode and Hon.
W. jr. Bryan Talk Briefly.
The State Reanion.
On the occasion of "Nebraska Day"
at the reunion of the soldiers of Ne
braska at Lincoln , • the speaking was
held in Exposition hall. Chairman Er
hardt read telegrams from Congress
men Greene and Stark , announcing
their inability to he present. A letter
from Senator Allen was also read , the
first part of which told of his partici
pation in the war and devotion to the
old soldiers. It continues :
For those who honestly served in the
same great , just and holy cause , what
ever their station in life may be , or
may have been , I have strong feelings
of affection akin to those existing be
tween brothers , notwithstanding on
political questions we may widely dis
agree. Men capable of sacrificing per
sonal convenience and risking health
and life in the accomplishment of a
great cause in the interest of the race
are too broad-minded , sensible and pa
triotic to cavil with others who per
formed a like service respecting their
political opinions.
The war forthe union was fought on
the theory that ours is a national gov
ernment and that this is an insepera-
ble union of indestructible states , and
that a state having entered the union
becomes an integral portion thereof
and cannot throw off or abandon its
allegiance at any time a majority of its
citizens may so declare. This is the
sittlcd doctrine of our country. We
are not only a federal union , but a na
tion , and our government possesses ,
and can exercise for the common good
all the power that any other national
government can rightfully exercise :
Thirty-two years have passed into
eternity since the close of the war in
which we served together and the mus-
I tering out of the , volunteer army and
navy. Those who were then mere
striplings have "become gray-headed
men and in the west have encountered
the hardships , privations and experi
ences of a long , useful and active life.
It must have impressed itself on all
that with onr retirement from the
army we did not ? cease to be charged
with duties and responsibilities of a
very high order and an important char
acter. The same cause that impelled
our enlistment and induced u&to encounter - , ,
counter the hardships and experiences
of a soldier's life , namely , the preser
vation and protection of the union , has
doubtless induced us to perform our
dut3' as citizens to the best of our abil
ity , in making more secure the founda
tions of civilization and in strengthen
ing the government wherever , in our
judgment , it may have needed strength
ening.
I may be permitted to say that I
shall in 'the future , as I have in the
past , use every reasonable and honest
effort to advance the interests of the
soldiers and sailors of this state and
nation. I have during the incumbency
of my present office had under consid
eration 963 pension cases at the bureau
of pensions , many of which have been
granted , besides having introduced
and secured the passage of many pri
vate bills. I have strenuously eon-
tended on the floors of the United
states senate , and.shall continue to dose
so , that that all who honorably per
formed like services in the cause of the
Union should ) be'equally rewarded in
the granting of pensions , and that the
artificial distinction between husbands ,
made necessary by the existence of a
state of war , shall not continue be
tween their widows after the war
closed and each took his station in the
rank of citizens. I shall earnestly
continue this line of advocacy until
such an odious condition shall have
ceased to exist in tlie United States.
The wife and children of a soldier who
performed meritorious , and honest
services for his country and risked life
and limb at a time when the govern
ment needed him , should be rewarded
equally with the wife and children of
those who received higher pay. greater
honor and emoluments during the
short period such distinction existed.
Among the speakers was Congress
man Strode. He gave a review of the
causes that led to the war , and said
that the greater part of the army that
marched to the front , in 18G1 was in
the eternal camp today. He discussed
the war as it affected Nebraska , and
followed the state through its forma
tion of. a state government and admis
sion into the union , eulogizing Mar-/
quettc and Thayer as two of its great
est patriots. Tilic part of presest pa
triotism' was to ' 'stand up for Ne
braska. * ' The state had increased in
.population from 20,000 in 1SG7 to over a
million in 1897. It has grown into a
great commonwealth since the war.
It was being built up at the time Ben
Wade said : "I am in favor of homes
for the homeless , rather than niggers
for the niggerless. " ' In 1S70 the state
raised 7.000.000 bushels of corn ; inlSSO.
59,000.000 ; in 1890. 190,000.000. and in
1897 , fully 300,000,000 bushels. In1870
there were 298 school houses in the
state , and now there are 7,000 , the
state having the lowest percentage of
illiteracy among all the states. The
speaker thought we ought to stand up
for and be proud of the state. This
would be true patriotism. He said
there were many sincere people who
preach and profess patriotism , but the
true patriot is the one who practices as
wcU as preaches.
Congressman Strode was followed by
Hon. W. J. Bryan. He thought , how-
erer , that on occasions like this it was
proper for those to speak who took
part in the war , rather than those
who were born too late to enter the
great struggle. We can look back upon
the little contest in which we have
been engaged and find how small it
was compared.jWith the civil war the
greatest war of history. The war was ,
great , because conquered enemies had
been converted into permanent friends ,
and the greatest question that has ever
arisen in the- history of a nation had
beensettled forever. We are. now parts
of a great nation , and whatever a majority
"
jority of the people decide , whether we
as individuals like it or not , is the law
of the landTYThe glory of the late war
grows brightes * as the years go on , and
the leading figures grow more conspie-
noiis. the one greK t central figure being
Abraham Lincoln , who Is now revered
by.north and south alike. Mr. Bryan
referred to Mr. Strodo's definition of
patriotism and said he was glad that
the word was broad enough to include
some besides those who actually fought
in the war. The patriot was a man
who fought the battles of his country ,
whether they be fought with bullets or
with arguments. It was important
to win our liberties , and just as iin-
Eortant to preserve them. "If a man
asn't-a chance to die for his country ,
isn't it a glorious thing to live for it- '

Corn for Table U e.
A model kitchen in which will ho
prepared in a scientific manner Ne
braska's staole product , Indian maize ,
in all its varied forms , is the scheme
proposed by Mrs. Harriet S. MacMur-
phy of Omaha to the Nebraska Exposi
tion commission. Some of the members
arc disposed to look with great favor
on the scheme as being a most valuable
means of showing the world the great
value of corn as a food for man as well
as beast , thereby increasing the de
mand for the crop with which Nebras
ka can supply the world.
Mrs. MacMurphy's plan contemplates
the establishment of a kitchen which
shall be a model for a housewife , fitted
with all the most improved eulinary
apparatus for preparing food in the
most scientific manner. In this kitch
en Mrs. MacMurphy proposes to give
daily demonstrations all during the ex
position , showing to all visitors who
desire to be informed the result of sci
entific investigation into the art of pre
paring food for the table in a manner
which will insure the best results from
the nutrition therein contained. Mrs.
MacMurphy proposes to make a spe
cialty of preparing corn for table use ,
and for this purpose she proposes to
demonstrate by practical methods the
very many tempting forms in which
this highly nutritious food may be util
ized by man. These delicious prepara
tions will be prepared in plain sight of
visitors , and they will then be distrib
uted among the people who desire to
have further proof of their excellence.
Kebraskans Are Going : to Texas.
The Trans-Mississippi and Interna
tional Exposition is to be boomed in
the south by another party of Nebras-
kans. On the evening of Saturday ,
October 2 , there will leave Omaha over
the Wabash railroad a party of sixty-
five "Nebraskans , bound for Texas.
They will occupy two Pullman sleep
ing cars and they will be gone eight
days. Twenty-five members of the
party will be from Omaha , and the re
maining forty will be pi'ominent rep
resentatives of the leading towns in the
state. .
The committee of the Omaha Real
Estate exchange having the matter in
charge has worked indefatigably for
the success of the excursion. The nec
essary transportation has been secured
throughout and a representative party
of Nebraskans has been made up. The
committee will at once make official ap
plication to the exposition manage
ment for a large quantity of exposition
literature to take along on the trip ,
and will also ask for the appointment
of the two best exposition orators that
can accompany the party to make ad
dresses at all points where stops will
be made.
Wants to .Settle His .Defalcation.
E. C. Hoekcnbcrger , the defaulting
ex-county treasurer and ex-secretary
of the school district of Grand Island ,
has again made the proposition to tlie
board of education of that city to pay
the board 31,060 if it would recommend
to the county attornej * to dismiss the
criminal proceedings against Hocken-
berger. The latter has once been tried
on the charges of embezzling school
district money , and on his own con
fession that he falsified the records to
cover up a previous shortage he was
found guilty. The case has been ap
pealed to the supreme court and by it
remanded back for a new trial. It is
said by the defense that Hockenberger
never took the actual cash wbicli he
embezzled , and on this technicality it
is believed by many that he will never
be convicted.
State Tjicpmr Dealers.
It has been decided to hold a state
meeting of saloon men in Omaha Octo
ber 14 , with a view to perfecting a
state organization of saloon keepers to
be known .lis the Protective Liquor
Dealers' association. The effort b in
tended to-bring to Omaha in " 98 the na
tional association , which holds its
meeting in Indianapolis this year. All
retail dealers throughout the state will
be urged to attend tlie October meeting
and Omaha ' s wholesale trade will lie
looked after.
ArreRted Glider the Postal Ia\rn.
John L. Estabrook of Guide Bock ,
Neb. , was brought before U. S. Com
missioner Bode at Grand Island , by
Deputy U. S. Marshal Cooley of Lin

States mails for fraudulent purposes.
It is alleged in the complaint that
Estabrook , under the fictitious name
A. F. Newton , wrote a letter to one
Dordua of Guide Kock , the purpose of
which letter was to defraud Dordua
out of S300.
ltrct Crop is Kxcellont.
The first week of the beet sugar
manufacturing campaign is pabsed ,
says a Grand Island dispatch , and an
extra fine quality of sugar is being
manufactured from the beets this year.
The output has never been -equalled
and it is certainly an excellent crop
for the factor3 % Some of the beets
have tested as high as IS per cent
sugar , with a purity coefficient to 90.
There are not many beets in California
that will test higher than this.
Deserted and Tries Suicide.
Mrs. E. E. Jacobs , wife of the porter

of her attempt upon her life she said
that she had discovered that her hus
band no longer loved her , and she had
nothing to live for.
Chase County's Immense Crop.
Farmers in Chase county have about
finished their threshing. The wheat
crop has turned out better than at
first anticipated , spring wheat rang
ing from five to fifteen bushels per
acre. Chase county never had such a
corn crop ? r ; ts history. Many fields
from 200 o 300 acres are estimated to
eield from forty to sixty buslrels per I

POSSIBLY A DEFICIT.
A SHORTAGE IN THE REVENUE
OF UNCLE SAM.
Receipt.From Customs Under tlie Kovr
Tariff Law for the First Month of
Its Operation Have Fallen Be
hind the Estimate Increase
In Expenditures.
Pensions and Kevenue.
Washington , Sept 0. Anxiety has
been expressed in some quarters lest
there be a large deficit in the revenues
of the government at the end of the
fiscal year. This solicitude is based
mainly r.pon the fact that the receipts
from customs under the new tariff law
for the first month of its operation
have fallen below the estimate , while
the expenditures , notably for pension
payments , show an increase over the
estimate.
"I don't anticipate any deficit in the
revenues of the government this
year , " said Colonel II. Clay Evans , the
commissioner of pensions , to-day , "al
though the expenditures for pensions
will be greater than the appropria
tion , thereby necessitating a deficiency
appropriation for their payment. I
don't look for .as large an increase ,
however , as the payments for the quar
ter ending September 30 , about S40 , -
000,000 , would seem to indicate. That
amount includes certificates that have
been held up. I estimate that the to
tal payments for the year will not ex
ceed $147,6000,000. That is not an ap
palling excess by any means , the ap
propriation for the year being 3141-
63,880. If there should be an unex
pected falling off in the revenues , the
pension payments might be curtailed |
toward the end of the year , although
1 don't think that is at all likely. "
"How is the increase for the year
accounted for ? " Colonel Evans was
asked.
"Well , to begin with , there are
something like ' 00,000 old claims pend
ing before the bureau , which will be
acted upon as rapidly as we can get
to them. A great many of these are
good claims , ought to be and will have
to be allowed. They will involve a
considerable amount of money , prob
ably Sf.V.03,000 , although no definite
estimate of this can be made now.
"Then there is a remarkable in
crease in the number of new applica
tions for pensions. For instance , in
the last six months of the fiscal year
of 1S9G , the applications under the
general law were 15,900 , while in one
month alone in 1897 , the month of
June , there were 18.16S. The applica
tions under the act of June 27 , 1S90 ,
for six months in 1S9G were 10,605 , and
for the month of June , 1S97 , were
224001. "
"What occasioned such a marked
increase in the applications ? "
• 'Well , while I have had little com
munication with the old soldiers to
determine what moved them in the
matter , I think I could make a pretty
good surmise. I guess some of the
boys had been holding off under the
last administration from applying for
pensions , concluding that they would
rather try their chances of getting
their applications granted with a lle-
Dtiblicau administration. "
IS ANDrtEE IN SIBERIA ?
Washington Experts Inclined to Dis
credit the Report From Kus < * la-
Nrcw Yop.k , Sept 20. A special to
tlie Herald from Washington says :
"Arctic explorers and scientists are
much interested in the report that a
balloon , supposed to be that of An-
dree , the explorer , has been seer : over
the village of Antzifirowskoje , in the
province of Yenisei , Siberia. . Pro
fessor William llarkness of the naval
observatory said that as Andree start
ed in his balloon from Danes' island to
the north of Spitzbcrgen , in latitude
79 degrees 50 minutes it was clear if his
balloon was now at Antzifeiowsky he
did not succeed in his project of cross
ing thepolar region and coming out
at some point in the British territory
of North America. Prof , llarkness
said that if Andree ' s balloon is any
where in the province of Yenisei , it is
practically certain that his attempt to
cross the pole has been a complete
failure , and instead of going north
from his point of departure his gen
eral direction since he left Tromsoc
has been toward the east and south.
• 'Walter Wellmau. the newspaper
correspondent who has made a t-pecial
investigation of the practicability of
Arctic ballooning , discredits the Si
berian story , though he docs not coin
cide with the prevailing belief that
Andree is lost In his opinion An
dree's chances of safety are about 1

CUBAN MATTERS.
Consal Lee Has a Conference With th
I'resldent.
Washington , Sept. 20. General
Fitzhugh Leo , consul general to Cuba ,
had a long co iltation by special ap
pointment with the President at the
White house to-day. All visitors wcra
excluded except Secretary Alger.
General Leo carefully reviewed the
situation in Cuba and oxplaincd all
points uoon which either the Presi
dent or Secretary Alger asked for in
formation. Ho gave his own view
freely to the President , but after the
interview was very reticent about the
nature of the report made. Ho said
the President had not given him an
outline of his policy.
The president was deeply impressed
with the character of the situation
described and it is understood that he
strongly urged Consul General Leo to
retain his office , at least for the pres
ent , and to return to Havana at his
earliest convenience. As it had been
strongly intimated for several months
that Congressman Aldrich would suc
ceed General Lee at Ilavana'and that
the latter would probably not return ,
the President's action is construed to
mean that he thinks it inadvisable to
make a change at this juncture.
General Lee loft this afternoon for
Covington , Va. , but before his depart
ure admitted that he would return to
Cuba as soon as he had arranged his
private affairs , probably about tho.
middle of October. In private con
versation with close personal friends
he expressed himself vigorously as to
the situation in Cuba and was very
emphatic in his condemnation of some
of General Weyler's methods.
