In order to conduct the laborator

of each year The eight microscope
would not cost less than $240.
Ju A plan for overcoming the difficult

et- purchasing of a stereoptlcon whlc
would cost less and servo more pur
poses than i ho microscopes. When
he proposition was placed before the
school officials they acted favorably
upon It and Instructed Supt. Crosier
to purchase the lantern.
The lantern , which has arrived , and
IH now In UNO. Is a Mclntoah College
bench stereoptlcon , with attachments
lor an opaque projector , slides and
microscope. It Is now being used
more especially In the botany work
but may be used In physics , agricul
ture , physkal geography , physiology ,
or any of the other sciences , Including
history and geography.
The opaque projector Is so made
that it will produce any five-Inch pic
ture from a book , postcard or pamph
let of any sort , without removing the
picture from the book or pamphlet.
The new lantern Is located in Room 1
of the high school building , which Mr.
Bedell has equipped as a dark room
when the lantern is in use. The new
piece of apparatus cost a little less
than $ lf > ( ) . It is working ; very success
fully.
Norfolk lij.s the distinction of being
one of the few schools in the state
that has thlc modern equipment.

Lillian Russell Not After Money.
New York , Feb. 17. In her gorge
ous'jewel gown , just after her appear
ance at thi > Weber-Fields Jubilee
show , Lillian Russell was shown a
newspaper clipping which quoted her
' as saying she would not marry Alexander
' ander P. Moore of Pittsburg unless
be could give her $ (50,000 ( a year.
| "Yes , I have seen it , " said Miss Rus-
sell , "and it makes me sad , not for
myself , but because there are so many
. ' unkind , vicious-minded persons left in
this world.
| "That article was inspired hy some
I enemiy. Why I should have enemies

attention was called to this article

y we are actresses and live in the so

. | ' Has Not Talked of Money.
s. "The insult Implied In my marryini

conlinued Miss Russell. "I have neve

II Such a thing would be an insult to m
love and to his affection for me. W
! have talked of everything else bn
money. Now , why should I marr
any man for money ? Think it over ,
have money - plenty and enough t
id live In luxury to the end of my days
and I have my profession. As It Is ,
spend nine-tenths of my money o
3. others , and I have one-tenlh for 1113

I see things attributed to me the
ry have never been in my thoughts-
of feel sorry for the person or person
it who could bo unkind enough to sen
out such false estimates of me.
ed Knows Plenty of Rich Men.
"I won't say I would marry M
Id Moore if he wore penniless : I doub
IdP less wouldn't have met him had li
Prt been penniless , but the fact that li
es had money has nothing to do wit
my regard for him. I have met an
ty still know dozens of men reputed t
be millionaires most of the men
of money , an
ie meet socially are men
ieh ns I can buy raoat of the things
want and have my own motor and
all the luxuries that my tastes elo-
imind marriage simply for money
would be repulsive lo mo and foe ll h
resides. Now why should I elo It ? I
frankly ask , and any person In all
fairness nnibt answer , there Is no rea-
on at all.
"But I love Mr. Moore t wouldn't
marry any man on earth If I dlel not
believe that 1 letvcd him. It's the only
reason for marriage , especially te > a
woman situated In life as I am econ
omically Independent with more com
forts than most men could glve > me. "
"Then you still retain the Illusions
of life you belle've1 In good old-fash
ioned love and equally old-fashioned
marrhigo ? " Miss Russell was asked.
"I maintain , " she replied , "that be
lief In love Is no Illusion--the Illus-
leins are the mistakes but love is the
absolute reality I never could bo any
thing but real even In my mistakes
ami faults. And my love for Mr. Moore
Is the most tonl thing In my life. "
Will Insist on Privacy.
"Mi'rrlage must be an equal part
nership to be a success , " said Miss
Russell. "There must he toleration
mid there must he a splendid under
standing. I have told Mr. Moore thai
I would Insist upon having by own
undisturbed privacy , as I have it now.
The trouble with many American mar
riages , with their resulting nnliappi-
ness , comes from a familiarity that is
intolerable te > most women. Women
are naturally more sensitive than
men , and that Is where European mar
riages are so much more successful
than American marriages. The for
eign men , called by many Americans
'brutes' have a finer appreciation of
woman's delicacy and her feelings.
They would not , as I have known
many American husbands do , boldly
enter their wife's boudoir without first
knocking and finding out if it were
agreeable for her to be seen. No wo
man wants to he taken unawares and
the successful wife will never allow
her husband to see her unless she is
ready to be s-een. Her privacy should
be as Intact as a wife as it is before
marriage. American men look upon
their rights as husbands to have no
bounds , and the re'snlt often is that
American wives feel the brutality of
such inconslderatlon and there finally
begins to glow a revulsion of feeling
for the man who would lose all sight
of his wife's finer , more sensitive na
ture.
Both Have Abiding Faith.
"Mr. Moore and I have to have faith
in each other , for his business and
my profession keep us apart , but even
so we have what every two people
who really love have , and that is an
abiding faith in each other. He knows
and I know , no matter how far apart
we are , that all is well.
"Why , the other night at the Friars'
Club Weber-Fields dinner , I went
there with my sister unaccompanied.
It didn't occur to me to ring up one of
twenty men who might have gone
with me , for now my whole woman
nature is wrapped in but one man.
Other men elo not seem necessary. Although -
though I do not mean to imply by that
that a man and woman in love or mar
ried should renounce the world as It
wore. By no means no. Indeed ,
they should be so perfectly sure of
each other that they would be willing
to trust each other witii anybody and
under any circumstances. However ,
I couldn't think of a man I wanted to
go with and so I went alone with
my sister.
"Before I loved Mr. Moore , I couldn't
- have dreamed of going anywhere un
accompanied , " Miss Russell added
fcinillngly.

in this work and sufficient civic pride ,
to drop the ordinary social function- !
of a community for that week , and all
work as a unit In making a success of
tills short course. Unless we do this
there will IIP small chance of ever se
curing any help from the university
in thr fulniv. We have the reputation
over the stale of caring very little foi
those things which are \ital to our
very existence. Let ns show the people
ple of Nebraska that this charge is
a false one. The opportunity Is now
given ns for doing this. Will wo

HARRINGTON ON HARMON MEET
Snys It's Rght to Separate Reaction
aries from Progressives.
M. F. Harrington e > f O'Neill hug
written the following letter with re
gard to the coming Harmon mooting
at Fremont :
O'Neill , Neb. . Fob. 111.-Mr. Mark
G Perkins. Fremont , Neb. Dear Hlr
I am In receipt of your Invitation to
attend a .Kidsun Harmon meeting at
Fremont. While I shall not attend
your meel Ing , as 1 am opposed to Har
mon , I believe such a meeting IH all
right , just as I have been urging the
friends of the progressive democratic
movement to hold a similar meeting.
It Is best for all that the progressives ,
who favor Wilson and Clark , and the
react louarlcs , who favor Harmon ,
should line up In separate camps for
the primary , so that ( he people may
get to understand , and the Issue bo
clearly defined. I recognize the right
of any man to bo a reactionary who
wants to , and ( he reason why 1 will
not attend \our mooting Is simply be
cause I do not agree with yon. The
same clans of people are known n *
eonsoruiihoH in England and they
honestly believe in the things Hint
they advocate. I realize Ihere are
many good men who are supporting
.Indson Harmon. The reason I will
not support his cause is that I do not
view public affairs from the same
standpoint , i know Harmon's history
quite well from the day thai ho be
came the general attorney , political
manipulator , and pass peddler for the
Cincinnati. Hamilton .V- Dayton rail
road , up lo the present time , includ
ing , among oilier things , the midnight
bond deal tiiat he helped lo manipu
late In Cleveland's ndmlnlstration nt
1 o'clock In the morning , and a con
tract signed by J. P. Morgan , who was
present , as the contract Itself states
"for .1. P. Morgan & Co. of New York
and N. M. Rothschild & Co. of London. "
and which contract gave these Inter
ests the control of the bonds before
a dollar of money was paid , or the
bonds printed. The bonds were put
on the market , and before they were
printed or nny money paid , Morgan
and Rothschild had the bonds sold for
more than $8,000.000 above what the
government got. How the money was
divided is known only to those who
were In the deal. But is was bad
enough that , when It was Intimated
that a second bond issue might bo
lecossary. the democratic New York
Vorld , which was the most influential
taper in the election of Cleveland , np-
icaled by telegram to every national
ank in the United States , includinc
he banks In your town and mine , to
nbscrih" for some of the proposed
ssue of bonds as a matter of patriot-
sm. The banks responded , and liar-
ion and Cleveland , through the pub-
Icily given , were nol able to "pull
ff" a second midnight bond deal with
J. P. Morgan < t Co. of New York and
C. M. Rothschild & Co. of London. "
ilr. Harmon , as the attorney general ,
cted in preparing this contract for
he government , and " .I. P. Morgan &
'o. of New York and N .M. Rothschild
fc Co. of London" were represented at
he same midnight deal hy Mr. Stet-
on of New York , who was Clove-
and's law partner at the time ho was
lected president.
I am extremely glad of this meeting
of yours because it will start the fight
and ultimately the democrats of Ne-
> raska will find out who Harmon is.
Yours truly ,
M. F. Harrington.
