Six miles northeast of Beatrice, Neb.,
on a great farm of 800 acres, lives Daniel
Freeman, wko was the first man to take
up a claim under the United States
homeetead law. The law went into
effect on January 1, 1863. On New
Year's eve a ball was given at Brownville,
Neb., then the headquarters of the Land
Office, as the public lands of the then
Territory of Nebraska were the first to
be thrown open to settlement. Just
after midnight young Freeman and
James Bedford, the assistant register of
the Land Office, went to the office of the
latter, where Mr. Freeman filed his claim
on 100 acres of fertile land. Since Mr.
Freeman filed his claim on a homestead,
637,389,422 acres have been taken up un
der the homestead law. Albion News.

So, Messrs. CJruenther, Becher, Phil

minute, that you are not "the whole

to Oakland to spend a day with them.
We went and had a good time; a fine
dinner and supper. They have a nice

Dear Brother: All the boys in the

Aug. 16, the Lincoln Journal's corres
pondent thus described the regiment of
of which Co. K is a part. The item is
our purposes and our aspir- X
interesting as showing to Journal read
ers how the muster-out is done:
The Nebraska regiment looks more
like recruits now than at any other time
since it has been in the service, for it no
longer has any guns or accoutrements of
any kind. Today noon all the govern-
1 ment property in the regiment, consist
ing of Springfield rides, cartridge Wits,
scabbards, bayonets, haversacks, can
teens, straps for guns, and canteens to
gether with mess plates, cups, knives,
forks and spoons were handed in to the
chief ordnance officer at the Benitia
arsenal of this place. The tents, kitchen
utensils, all the ammunition but a few
rounds to each man were turned in be
for leaving Manila. Nearly all of this
stuff is condemned and will be destroyed.
No matter in what bad shape any of
this material is in, it can be turned over
by the soldier to whom it was issued
and he receives credit for it. Bnt if he
has lost any of this material any place
excepting in the line of duty, it is
charged up to him. Some of the prop
erty was lo6t en route or at some other
place, so it was amusing to see some of
these soldiers who had lost any ac
coutrements rustling around trying to
find where they could find some extra
accoutrements to hand in. Most of the
boys were not sorry to say good-bye to
their longtoms which had kicked their
shoulders black and blue in many a
fight, or to their haversacks, in which
they had carried their day's rations of
hardtack and salmon, nor even to their
canteens which contained what little
filthy water the soldier could find while
on the march. But a few soldiers were
so attached to their rifles, haversacks
and canteens that they purchased them
of the government. The Springfield
will prove interesting relics a few years
hence, while the haversacks and can
teens can be used to advantage while
out hunting in the timbers and prairies
of Nebraska.
THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS.
The army doctors are practically
through examining the enlisted men of
the Nebraska regiment. The officers
will be examined some time later. The
only Nebraska men not yet examined
are those who were not present when
their companies were taken over to the
quarters to be examined. Several days
ago the men stated on regular blanks
whether or not they had sustained any
disabilities while in the army, and if so
the nature of the disability, when, where
and how it was contracted. Some of the
men thinking they bad no disabilities
were found to have something or other
ailing them, of which they had no knowl
edge. But most of the men passed a
very good examination. Several days
have been required to examine the whole
regiment. But a short time was re
quired for moat men, for from the blanks
which the soldier signed the doctor
could tell what disability if any the sol
dier was likely to have.
The sentries about the Nebraska camp
can now be seen walking their beats
with a cane since the Springfields have
been handed in. The boys are anxious
ly waiting for the timo when they can
bid good-bye to guard duty of any kind.

The places of men in the country
schools of Nebraska are rapidly being
supplanted by women. Where the
latter exemplify the true motherly in
stinct in their occupation as teachers of
the youth they make a marked success,
and are doing nn untold amount of good,
but the flippant, giddy, thoughtless girl,
who teaches only for the money, and
with little or no real love for the chil
dren, is very little better than the boy
of the same class. The children of the
public schools deserve the best service
that can be procured for them.

Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Britell retnrned
Wednesday from their sojourn in the
west Thoy visited on Friday week the
camp of Co. K at San Francisco. Messrs.
La Rue, Mosgrove, Simmons and
Wagner were not enjoying good health,
but the others seemed in good health
and spirits, although most of them look
slim. They have splendid camping
quarters, and everything desirable is at
hand. Friday, they had a call to turn
in their guns that day. They are anx
ious to get home, and will doubtless
come by the quickest routes after they
get their discharge. Mr. Britell has a
good word for California fruit and
climate, but divulges some things in re

Judge Grimison has banded down
his opinion in the Silver Creek liquor
license case, sustaining tue remons
trance. The court held that the saloon
petition was defective in that it did not
state that the signers were free-holders,
or that the applicant was a resident of
Nebraska. It was subsequently amend
ed to correct these omissions, but on ac
count of the defects in the original pe
tition when signed, the village board
was held to have had no jurisdiction to
grant the license. It seems that the
justice in fining Rev. Heywood $25 for
accepting a treat of liquor in Roth's
saloon made an error, and the minister
will do doubt win his appeal, as the
nature of the penalty fixed by the
statute takes the case out of the juris
diction of a justice of the peace, who
has no authority further than to bind
the defendant over to the district court
This latter case was the outgrowth of
the controversy over the license. Cen

Henry Neibor, of St Bernard, lost
his right eye Thursday of last week.
While feeding a threshing machine the
cylinder threw a straw out. The straw
struck his eye and the end embedded
itself in the eyeball. In pulling it out
some small pieces broke off and re
mained in the eye. He came to town
and had the pieces removed. The sight
was totally destroyed. He went to
Omaha Saturday to have it examined
and see if there was any hope of having
the sight restored. The doctors there
said there was no hope for it. Henry
came home Sunday, but returned Mon
day to have the ejeball removed so that
it would not affect the other eye. Later
on he will have a glass eye put in. It
was a very unfortunate accident Hum

Today, Aug. 23, the muster-out is
supposed to take place, after which the

the admiration of all right-thinking
patriots. "Peace hath her victories no
less renowned than war," and the re

In tho future teachers will bo pre
pared for their work not so much by
J the study of methods of teaching nor
even by the study of the science of
psychology and child study, helpful as
they are, as by being brought into
actual contact with children in their
play activities as well as in their school
work and by experience in serving as
leaders and directors of children in such
activities. Only a small part of a child
can be observed under any one condi
tion, but a very much larger portion of
his real nature shows itself in play than
in the work of any ordinary schoolroom;
hence observing and directing the play
of children are the best possible means
of getting acquainted with them and
learning to direct them. From "Play as

The Lincoln Journal of Thursday

reception was given last night at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Pound, 1632
L street, for Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe
Pound. Miss Olive Pound and Mrs.
Gerrard, mother of Mrs. Roscoe Pound,
assisted in receiving. An orchestra
played on the veranda beneath the light
of Japanese lanterns. Within the rooms
were filled from 8 till 11 with a moving
throng of ladies in dainty summer
dresses and their escorts. Mrs. Emory
Hardy and Miss May Whitney served
the ices and punch in the dining room.
They both wore white and sat at a table
decorated in white and green. A tall
vase of green Bohemian glass holding
white roses and surrounded by ferns
formed the centra piece. The young
ladies assisting were dressed in white
and pale colors. Many of the guests
had had the pleasure of knowing Mre.

all the while except that Mrs. W. and
the grandson were subjected to the
nausea of seasickness, the lad especially
having a severe tussel with it. Tho so
journ was without unusual incident, ex
cept that on a Sunday July 23, at tho
place of Mrs. Wurdemann's sister (Mrs.
Seeger), when the folks were at church
at the village of Grossenkneten, Mrs.
Seeger's house was struck by lightning
nnd burned to the gronnd, with all its
contents, among which were all the
clothing and valuables of Mr. Wurde
man's party of three and visiting cousin,
except what they had on their persons.
As this included their return tickets,
they had some trouble in making their
proofs, eta, but succeeded in convinc
ing the authorities as to the tickets.
Mr. Wurdemann visited Germany eleven
years ago, and does not find much
change now, but looking back to thirty
nine years ago, when he lived there,
he sees considerable difference. He
worked then as a farm hand for
$20 a year, where now the wages are
$80 to $100 a year. Land is higher in
price than then. They have good crops
this year, following a very open winter
in which potatoes lay in the ground
without freezing. Rye is their principal
crop, as ours is corn. They try at times
to raise corn, bat it is too cold, and
only the merest nubbins grow. The
garden stuff is good, but just as they
were leaving, the dry weather was severe
upon vegetation. The import duty on
2,000 pounds of each of the following is:
Wheat $8.75
Rye 8.75
Oats 7.00
Barley 5.00
Corn 4.00
Peas 3.75
Mr. Wurdeman expresses himself very
freely against the petty despotism to
which the Germans are subjected with
out in many cases their being aware of
it There is all the difference in the
world between here and there officials
here being the servants of the people in
stead of their masters. The treatment
given there by officials in general would
not be brooked here at all. When mat
ters of a possible war between Germany
and America came up for discussion,
Mr. Wurdemann fonnd that there was
very little accurate information there in
regard to what the United States could
do. Henry told them that no doubt the
German soldiers were well-drilled and
made a fine appearance, bnt that the
young Americana learned to shoot from
boyhood up and were no doubt much
better marksman than those of the
German army. And as for their think
ing that German-born citizens of this
country would not fight in such a war
on the aide of their adopted country,
they were very much mistaken. The
United States is their country; they
have generally prospered there aa they
could not have done in the old country,
and there is no reason why they should,
in a just cause, desert the country of
their choice, and they would not do so.
Mr. Wnrdemann says that after the loss
by lightning he was homesick and they
started August 3rd on their return,
The sea waa not ugly either over or
back, and the voyage waa pleasant every
way except the atac ickneat.

Cheap Trip to Omaha !
On Tuesday, August 29th, tho cheap
est rates yet offered to Omaha for tho
Greater America Exposition will be in
effect on the Burlington Route. Bound
trip tickets, good for return until Sep
tember 4th, will be sold for $2.50.
Now that the natives and thoir ex
hibits for the Hawaiian and the Philip
pine villages have arrived, and tho other
colonial displays are installed, thu Ex
position is complete, and is worth going
a long distance to attend. It is not a
repetition of last year's fair. It is
grander, more novel and has a themo
distinctly its own. It is thefirst nation
al fair to contain a United States'
colonial exhibit. Tho grounds havo
been marvellously beautified, 2,500,000
having been expondod for this purpose.
The electrical fountain in tho Grand
Court is far prettier than any lighting
effect seen last year. Bellstedt's famous
band from Cincinnati has repeated its
success of the World's Fair, and caught
the crowd with its splendid music.
Remember you will learn something
of tho islands acquired through the war
with Spain, if yon visit the Greater
America Exposition. Join the Burling
ton Route's cheap excursion on August
29. The rate is low; only $2.50 from
here. For tickets or further information

The Preparatory School.
Many county superintendents and
principals the past year have expressed
to Director Wallace their appreciation
of the work done at the Preparatory
School to the State University at Lin
coln. They recognize that it supplies
the lacking link between the smaller
schools and the University. Several
principals have asked for announce
ments to distribute to their students,
as they wished them to finish prepara
tion for the University. During the
year, nine principals, three city school
superintendents, numerous other teach
ers and deficient University students
attended advanced classes in this school.
Students feom eighth grade and country
schools enter the lower classes and com
plete the work in one and one-half to
two years, thus saving two years or
more of time and consequent expense.
Write for third annual announcement.
