DIXON , Nob. , Aug. 10. ( Special. ) Thu
sixth annual picnic of Dlxon county was
bold hero yesterday nud a more splendid
display of Nebraska push and enterprise
was novcr shown. Everyone Tied with
everyone else in seeing to It that the visit-
tors from the different towns In this part
ot the state should enjoy to the fullest nx-
tcnt the hospitality of the town. Fully
2,000 people won ; present. All the towns
were represented from Emerson to O'Neill.
The loading feature of the day was a joint
discussion of political Issues between Hon.
John L. Webster of Omaha and Hon. M. F.
Harrington ( populist ) of O'Neill. It was ex
pected that Mr. Harrington would win the
laurels of the day by his populist admirers
nnd a special cxcwslortr.was run frtmi his
town , but at least' ono-lvAu the visitors from
O'Neill who accompanied Mr. Harrington
were straight McKlnley men. Even his brass
band was largely composed of members of
the O'Neill McKlnley league.
Judge M. P. Klnkald occupied the chair
and at S o'clock Introduced Hon. J. L. Web-
Bier , who was greeted with prolonged cheers.
Mr. Webster , in his characteristic man
ner , proceeded to discuss the political Issues.
Ho showed up the actual condition of the
country and the needs of the people in a
plain , convincing style , and as ho proceeded
amid feeble cheers at first , his speech was
greeted with long and lusty applause ere he
had reached the depth of his argument.
Mr. Webster , among other things , said :
"The World-Herald of August 3 , 1S)3 ! ) , suld
that the slhcrltcs who Insist on free coinage
upon the dishonest ratio of 1 to 1'j and refuse
to accept It on the honest ratio of 1 to 25
arc very anxious to delude the public Into
the belief that the demand lor moro cur
rency and the demand for coinage upon the
ratio of 1 to 10 nro Identical. They brand as
gold bugs all who decline to advocate 61cent
dollars. In truth , however , the only honesl
blmctalllst is ho who believes In the free
coinage of gold nnd silver , each taken at
Its market value and so coined that 100
ncnts worth of gold shall bo In the gold
dollar and 100 cents worth of silver shall
bo In the silver dollar. The hlmctalllst who
advocate * free coinage of gold and silver on
n ratio of 1 to 25 Is as much of u believer
In an Increasing of the circulating medium
no the man who advocates 1 to 1C. The sll-
verltes in Chicago need not r.rrogate to
themselves the championship of an Increased
currency. That Is not th"lv real purpose ,
nor Is It the real effect of their agitation.
They are only the djamplom : of silver. "
Mr. AVobster closed amid prolonged cheers
and was followed by Mr. Harrington. He
failed to create much nntbtislasm. notwith
standing his populist friends from O'Neill
tried to bolster up their clvimplon with
ehccrn. His address was the utnal round of
popocratlc sophistry now prewrlhcd by the
free silver party.

Senator John M. Thurston returned home
last evening from Topeka. Kan. , and Ot-
tutmva , la. , where he delivered speeches
In favor of the Round money platform.
"If some of the silver men could have
witnessed the enthusiasm manifested on
every hand for correct principles of finance
which I encountered during my short trip , "
sal'l the senator , "I do not think even
they would gainsay the fact that Kansas
will go republican this fall by a large major
ity.
"At Topeka 1 had the pleasure of deliver
ing two speeches , one during the afternoon
In one of the parks , and the second In the
opera house In the evening. There were
fully 6.0UO people present at the afternoon
meeting , nnd In the evening the auditorium
was packed from pit to gallery. Every men
tion of the financial plank of the St. I.oul.i
platform was received with prolonged
cheers , and from subsequent conversations
which I held with pcoplu there It was maul- i
fost they were giving the subject deep i
thought , nnd In every case were coming out
on thu side of honest money.
"One thing particularly notlcable was
the fact of a large number of populists beIng -
Ing prescnti The state republican conven
tion was In session during my short stay
In the city , and many of the delegates from
the western portion of the state were old
line republicans , who wandered off a few
years ago with the populists. They , however -
over , now express themselves as being In
accord with the old parly , with a firm de
termination to do their utmost In giving
McKlnley a sweeping vlclory In llio state
this fall. Whllo many ot them consider
Dryan a man of umimial eloquence , and ns
clean a candidate as the other party could
put up. at the same tlmo they look at
McKlnley as n man with a political his
tory. against which Bryan's sinks Into In
significance. .McKlnley Is the man to whom
they look for deliverance from the present
financial troubles , and not to the doctrines
of which the democratic nominee Is the ex
ponent.
"Among the class of men who Inlerest
themselves In tbe success of the republican
party In Kansas one will notice almost every
merchant of any prominence. They view
the possible advent of the silver law almost
In the light of complete ruin to Kansas In
dustries. Every one of them Is working for
the election of McKlnlcy , and recruits from
tho'ranks of these who have not heretofore
given the subject of finance serious study
Is at present a matter of hundreds dally.
"I talked with Cyrus Lcland. jr. , member
ot the republican national committee and
chairman of the state republican conven
tion , with Governor Morrill. Colonel lllue.
congrcssman-at-large. and ex-Governor Os-
born , and each assured me there wns no
question but that Kansas would give a
largo majority for the republican party
this fall. They live In different portions
of the state and nre In a position to feel
the political pulse among all classes.
"On my return trip I spoku nt Ottumwn ,
la. , Saturday afternoon and evening nnd ,
the enthusiasm there expressed was but a |
repetition of the sentiments shown at To
peka. People with whom , I came In contact
at Ottumwa stated that Iowa was pre
eminently republican and had been from
the llrst of the national campaign. Fully
5,000 people were present at the afternoon
speechmaklng at the public square , and
In the evening , when a program was car
ried out In the opera house , there were
hundreds uf enthusiastic honest money men
turned away. "

For weeks the World-Herald has been

taken from the London Financial News.
This article was given especial prominence
In that paper yesterday. Isaac N. Ford
cables from London to the Chicago Sunday
Tribune :
The liryan press has been unfortunate In
ono ot Its curliest camiiilgn dodges. An
Omaha journal published under the title
"Put This in Your lint. " u iiuotntlon pur
porting : to be from the London Financial
News of Jlnrch 10 , in which the loss of
trade with South America , China , nnd
Japan wns forecast as a consequence of
national folly In allowing- the United States
to get abend of England In the adoption
of bimetallism. This alleged extract has
heen reprinted conspicuously hy ilemocrntlc.
populist journals In the western stutcn.
It IB pronounced n forgery by the Finan
cial News of August 13 , which refers ex
plicitly to It , and says : "No such urtlcle
wns over printed liy us. and Its whole tenor
Is directly opposed to the view wo hnve
tiikon of the effect of free silver In the
United Stntes. So fir ( from advocating
free silver coinage , wo have persistently
pointed out that It spells repudiation anil
the withdrawal of nil European capital. "
Iho Ury.-in press hns made an early start
In the ImtilneHS of forged extructs for cam

looks very much ns If the democratic candi

a Methodist preacher , a life-long republican

this makes up a remnrhablo anomaly , but
It Is no moru slrango than some of the other
remarkable combinations of bedfellows that
have been produced ns a result of the silver
movement this year.
Mr. Evans Is an old Methodist preacher
who has lived hero many yean , nnd Is widely

ful If there are half a dozen men In the

which struck this pUce last night was the
severest known for years. Houses were
partly unroofed nnd a dozen barns blown
down , mid nearly all windows broken out
which wcro exposed north and northwest.
The town presented a sorry appearance this
morning , though the property loss Is light
and no ouo Injured. Telephone or tele
graphic service could not be obtained. Trees
were broken down all over town and beauti
ful lawns appear more like African jungles.
In the country the loss ot crops Is quite
severe In the path ot the storm , but the
scope Is not very wide , probably from one
to one and a half miles , extending from
northwest to southeast. Something like one-
fourth of the corn Is broken down , and
much that Is standing Is pecked by the hail
o that great damage may result to the cars ,

Hero's a note of warning from a well
known Philadelphia physician against the
habit of eating spices of one kind and an
other which drinking men acquire. "It Is
almost as bad , " he said yesterday , "as the
drink habit itself. No well regulated bar
room Is considered , equipped nowadays un
less It bus on the bar a tray filled with
cloves , allspice , cinnamon , lemon peel , cala
mus and other pungent condiments. The
original Idtn of supplying these things waste
to deaden the liquor breath , but nowadays
nine men out ot ten .who cat the splcos dose
so because they go with inc drink , and H
has become quite a second habit with thorn.
These spices are powerful Irritants , and
produce evils of various sorts. Pepper
corns have a debilitating effect on the sys
tem , cinnamon depresses the action of the
heart and calamus has a bad effect on the
liver. "

Those who retain plonsnnt recollections
of the Ah-Snr-llen festivities of last year
may bo assured that the coming of King
Ak-Sar-lIcn the Second will be attended
by n degree of pomp and spectacular ettcct
which will In every way mil puss that which
accompanied the advent of his predecessor.
The knights of the court have hern haul at
work for many weeks priparlns tlie way
fur the coming of their King and with the
experience galm-d n juar Ago they have
united n renewed cjitliusiasin tlmt prom
ises to lento nothing undone to make the
triumphal entry of their king itn occasion
of unprecedented spIi-uUor. The inembeis
of the board of io\einis ; , In whose hands
the direction of the work has been placed ,
have been untiring In their efforts. They
meet twice n wtil. UP mup out llm details
of the various pluiiii under consideration
and In the intaiithuo much of their tlmo
is devoted to working out what bus bum
decided on. While n.ucli n mains to be
done dining the three weeks that remain
before the 1-Vast ot Oijmpis , the gcntta !
plan of the festlvlllis 1ms been deli i mined
on. lloth the pauuk's and the grand ball
which will mil UK ubinltlcs wilt be on
a moro siiinptuouii scale than last JL.U-
and compare favorably with any ol the
similar celebrations that' have become fa
mous In other cities.
The parades will occupy three evenings
In the fim week In buptcmber. The civic
and military pntatlc will occur Tuesday
night nml the niiangenienthtiavc pro-
Kirssed fur enough tu warrant the predic
tion that It will eclipse that of last year.
Assurances have been received that the
cntiio military foice from Fort Crook
will turn out , accompanied by the band.
The Elks will make a much stronger snow
ing than last year and a full participation
of other local and state organizations Is
promised.
The parade of the county rioats will be
given on Wednesday evening and while
the success of this feature depends more
particularly on the interest taken In the
various counties the unanimity with which
they responded last year Is Mifllcicnt to
Indicate that they will Improve very ma
terially on their first effort.
CLIMAX 01' TUB FESTIVlTir.S.
Thursday night will witness the trium
phant entry of King Ak-Sar-Hcn the Second
end , and the magnificence of the pagoiiit
Is only known to those who have pene
trated the mjsterles of the court. There
will bo twenty ( huts , the same number as
last year , but they will be even more ar
tistic and attractive. A number of the mis
haps which were unavoidable on the llrst
occasion wilt not occur this year , and the
parade will be a revelation to those who
are not familiar with the plans of the
Knights.
The route ot the parades will bo consider
ably longer than last jear. The illumina
tions will extend for thirty-six blocks , ton
more than last year , covering the. entire
route to be follow'od by the parades , us fol
lows : From Webster street south on Six
teenth to Douglas , east on Douglas to Ninth ,
south on Ninth to Farunm , west on Fnrmim

avenue to Sixteenth and north on Sixteenth
to Webster.
Friday evening will bring the climax of
the festivities and the grand ball of the
Knights of Ak-Snr-Ben at the Coliseum.
While this will be in some respects sim
ilar to the ball of last year. It will be moru
elaborate and enjoyable. The board of gov
ernors has determined to make this a more
popular affair than before , and for this pur
pose the prices for spectators have been
materially reduced. Reserved seats In the
nailery will be sold at $1 each , and only
M cents will be charged for general admis
sion. Children will be admitted at half
? rice.
NOT AVERSE TO NOISE.
What the managers desire to distinctly
impress on the public is the fact that this
Is no funeral. Last year , when the cere
monies which attended the unmasking of
the king were going on , the crowd was In
terested but passive. This year enthusiasm
is dcmandei. The sprct.itorR are cxrc'-teil to
applaud , and liberally. The managers believe -
lievo that the more enthusiastic the affair
Is made the more satisfactory it will bo , and
they are not advene to 11 good deal of
noise at the proper time. They would not
object If the Samson yell should shake the
rafters of the don , and for this purpose they
make public , the lines that will be recog
nized by those who have penetrated the
mysteries of the second court. They nre :

The decorations ot the Coliseum will been

will bo two bands , one for promcnado music
and the other for dancing. There will be a
reception committee of Jlfty members and a
Poor committee of \venty-five t members
and a full complement of mulds ot honor
and ladles In walling. Thcso will be se
lected from the leading society women of
Council Bluffs and the various Nebraska
cities. The proportion will probably be
about one matron nnd two young women
from each city.
The ceremonies of the evening ivlll begin
promptly at 9 o'clock. First will be the
grand entry of the Knights in uniform , us
they appeared on the floats on the preceding
evening. This will be followed by the pa
rade under the direction of I'rof. Morand and
the coronation of the klnn and queen. The
Knights nnd their ladles will dance the
Hoyal Landers and then tlio regular dance
program ot the evening will be taken up.
During the Intermission a sumptuous repast
will be served.
The tickets to the ball will bo Issued this
week. Every Knight will receive n ticket
free with his invitation and all others will
contribute $10 for a ticket , which entitles
one man to admission with two women. The
price for n ulnglo ticket Is $5. The Knights'
tickets admit to every part of the house , In
cluding the gallery , although the Knights
are requested to take tlio seats provided for
them In the ovnl which will smrround the

From the day the child Is born there Is
one mighty motive driving It to become .A
working unit In the sum ot human exist
ence. ? flvs the lloston Herald , The Infant
may be swaddled In purple ami fine linen ,
It may bo tossed by fate Into nqunllor and
rags. It may bo the average every-day
youngster taking chances with half a dozen
brothers and sisters , yet whatever It Is. the
world demands Its apprenticeship , nnd a cer
tain share of Its force for good or evil. Hap
pily for the child , he feels none of that re
sponsibility which attends maturity like a
shadow , and his early years are passed In
Idle misery or Idle happiness , the young
nnimal that he Is. His struggle for bread
I * wholly a matter of physical craving. He
l sinks Into the gutters , or he rises to the
I comfortable level of a decent neighborhood ,
with Us background of loving parents , who
protect and nurture him.
Hut , whether he enters this battle as n
child of poverty or of riches , his future oc
cupation Is walked out , and "what he Is
to bn" has been nlteady nrrangul by those
mental faculties that are his birthright. The
I formation of the character determines that
point Incontestnbly and he con only escape
having an occupation by being either an
Idiot , or what Is. perhaps , worse , In Rome
Instances , tin * Inheritor of too much money.
Hut the tastes of childhood aie not to bo re
lied on in the choice of this occupation , and
, the baby of f years , who declares that be
' wants to be a soldier. Is sure to change his
J irlml nt the more experienced ago of 12. To
MioA how Ingrained Is this desire to be something -
; thing , one bus only to ank the over Inane
question of children , what they mean to do
when they have grown up. to be told , in the
most succinct nnd convincing manner.
Recently In a bin public school 1f > 7 pupils
were bidden to write on slips of paper the
occupations of thrir parents , nnd also what
calllm ; they meant to pursue as n means of
ll'.ell'ood : after leaving school. In nlnycn
case the p.irents were mechanics , but only
six of the 1B7 children chose mechanical
pursuits. Eighty-seven ot the pupils were
girls , and of this number forty-six wished
to become teachers , nnd twelve selected the
life of a waitress. Klght girls were ambi
tious to become dressmakers , four wanted
tn enter big shops , nml thirteen aspired to
be milliners. In no Instance did n girl ex
press a desire for nny kind of housekeeping
or domestic s.civlce. Various motives ac
tuated these children's choice , but only four
wished "for fame. " nnd only eleven of the
157 wished "to do good In the world , " while
twenty four were Inllncnced by the belief
that their selection would pay well. The
probaHllty Is that half of these future cltl-
srns : will find their handi turned to n very
different labor from the one they wrote
down In answer to this query , "U'lint means
of livelihood do you Intend to pursue when
you leave school ? "
One of the leading lights of Massachusetts
at tbe primary stage of his career deter
mined that life would not be worth the living
for him unless be could drive a milk wagon
when bo came to man's estate , and so Im
pressed was he with the charm of that avocation
cation that bitter tears were shed when he
was told he must enter Harvard college first ,
nnd after that his father would see ! 1'arental
vision , however , had never to go beyond that
point , for this passionate love for the ma
tutinal milk cart changed lone ; before the
time arrived when the real choice of a pro
fession became necessary. Hut It IB useless
to say the child Is not father of the man ,
nnd the Inherited business or professional
talent crops out before pinafores are aban
doned. Tlie great dltllcnlty Is to drive It
Info the proper channel , nnd give the "In
stinct" a fair chance to develop along the
lines marked out for It.

The notion of the Herman government
In i > a < .alns n law by which the government
Is to exercise control nvor nil stock ex
changes will doubtless result In a similar
nltompl In tlio United States , writes the
Washington rorresiHiiulcnl of the Ulobc-
Democrat. It Is the purpose of tlio Herman
Ktivoriinicnt to exercise severe control over
tlie stocks nnil exchange transactions ntul tlic
Issue of slocks anil bonds by now companies ,
with n view to lessening speculation nnil pro
tecting the public front fraudulent or unecr-
taln ( Innnclal iuul commurolal enterprises.
A comprehensive law to this end 1ms just
been adopted by 'tho Hclehstng by nil over
whelming majority. It Is likely to can HO o
revolution In tlio present , stock exchange
methods. In tin ; llrst place. It Is Intended
to discourage stock speculating by forbid
ding certain borscn-lermlu-handol ( exchange
tlmo contracts ) for grain , ns well as slocks
nml bonds. Tlip government will nsmnno
n certain control over tlio stock exchange
business , with special reference to listing
on the stock exchange of now Issues of stocks
nml bonds or paper of new companies , It
v,111 omlcavor to maintain less IliietuiUInK
anil , as the agrarians hope , higher prices
for grain an > l mill products by forbidding nil
time delivery contracts being made oil
'cl-.anno for such gialn nml woilucls ,
The lapld irnwth of stock spoculntlon In
( ! prnmny and the heavy loss experienced
by the public are said to have caused this
legislation to have been el afoot nml
adopted. It is moru likely , however , to have
emanated from I ho agrarians , who think
by such legislation to bring nboilt an Increase
In the price of grain and produce of Ger
many.
Consul Thomas Ewlug Moore ot Weimar ,
n a communication to tlie Stall' department ,
nade public Unlay , advances the opinion that
he effect of the new law. If carried out , will
> e wholesome If It prevents stock gambling
ind makes It illlllcnlt to lloat unsound stock
ipon the market.
The new Inw provides thrtt the German
Sti c.k and Produce exchange commlsslon-
rs are to be appointed as representative *
ot the government , whose duty shall bo to
contiol all exchange transact Ions and exact
hi' fulfillment of tlu > laws governing such
transactions. They sire entitled to bo pros-
put nt the TriCPlliiRs of the exchange com
mittees and draw attention to abuses They
Khali report to the government any wants
they discover ami propose Hiich means as
they judge will provide for them.
Listing ot stocks anil bonds shall be de
cided by n committee on admissions ot
which at Icnst one-half shall not be mem
bers of the exchange ( bourne. ) At each
committee meeting such members must bo
excluded ns have any Interest whatever
In bonds am ! Blocks under consideration.
Such members must be substituted by other
members. Storks and bonds can only bo ad
mitted after nt least one year's existence
of the company , and after the publication
of one year's profit and loss account , The
duties of the committee on admissions nro :
1. To require all documents which may
serve as a bafcls of judgment for a new is
sue of bonds ami stocks.
2. To have the public Informed as fully
as possible of the actual and legal condi
tions necessary for the propei appreciation
of the bonds and stocks , ami not to admit
them if the Information furnished Is Incom
plete.
3. Not to admit Issues hy which common
public Interests may be hurt or the public
deceived. Tlie ronimlttcu may refuse an
Issue without giving reasons. Jf a prospec
tus , on tlio strength of which an issue of
stock has been elfei'ted , contains false state
ments or omits facts important for the appre
ciation of the stocks , both tnose who have
prepared the statements and those who have
made them public nro held responsible for
iny loss experienced by the owners of the
stock.
The father of the law Is , as already In-
.imatcd. the Agrarian party In the Holcha-
afT.i whose leaders : ire at the head of the
llmid dor Landwirtho , a union of 80,000
'arniera throughout ( crinuny , iuul their
lilef Him In to get higher prices for their
irodnce and be less dependent upon the
tfrlin oxchange. They say that the tlmu
lellverles facilitate Imports , and hence de-
ircss prices , allowing the large speculators
i ) exercise complete control of the market.
They tay that the speculator m.iles a play
thing of the principal fond of man , and
hat mil eh more grain Is suld than Is grown
on the earth.
The way In which grain merchants view
the law Is shown by the action of the Hre-
meii grain firms , large and small , which
iavi declared unanimously In favor of the
