Fort Kearney was established by the United States government In May, 1848. In August of the same year. Lieutenant Col- f onel Powell made a treaty with the four confederate tribes of the- Pawnee Indians and they relinquished to the government for military purposes a tract ten miles square. It also included a strip of land sixty miles long and about ten miles wide extending from a point five miles west of lata vicinity of Fort Kearney.

"What art your puppies, my boy," the man questioned, "are they republicans or are they democrats?" "Thty are republicans," the boy answered quickly and with conviction. Much pleased the gentleman bought one of them. Two weeks Inter the boy met the same man and tried to sell him another puppy. "Well." asked the man, "what kind of puppies have you today?" He glanced into the basket and saw that they were from the same lot as that of his recent purchase. "Pemocrats," the little fellow responded promptly. "Ah." the man exclaimed, "but two weeks ago, I had one from the same family and you ald that they were republican puppies. How do you account for that?" "Oh! Oh!
