OPENING CAMPAIGN.
Croker and Murphy Will
Call Personally Upon Mr..
Bryan at Lincoln.


Lincoln, Neb. June 29.-Chief inter
est today in the circle of William j.
Bryan's Immediate friends csnters about
the intended conference between the
democratic leader and Congressman
Sulzer tomorrow, and also that OF Sat
urday, when Richard Croker and ex-
Senator Murphy will call Sulzer is ex-
pected to arrive in Lincoln early tomor-
row morning, and it is understood to-
night that he will be the personal guest
of the man with whom he is credited
with aspiring to run on the democratic
national ticket MIR. Bryan can only
surmiee as to Mr.. Suffers intention in
coming to see him. Politicians here are
amour cling that Sulzer comes to urge
the great leader to throw his strength to
him (Sulzer) for second place, but what
ever The trend OF Mr. Bryans specula
tion be keeps it strictly to himself, de-
clining to anticipate, and saying that il
Suffers visit is intended as anything
more than friendly call he is ignorant
OF it entirely. Messrs. Croker and Muir
ply, who come the day after the New
York campaign begins, will also be
guests at the Bryan home, and concern
ing these gentleman's aims the expec-
tant host is as silent as in reference to
Sulzer. Democratic leaders here are in
speculative mood, the general belief
being that the two will first felicitate
Mr.. Bryan on the prospect for harmony
in their own state and then urge him to
make his influence felt on behalf OF some
eastern democrat for the vice presiden-
cy, preferably one from New York.
Visitors we're less numerous than US
ual today, and Mr.. Bryan was enabled to
spend his time protltably in attending to
his correspondence. The heat was op-
pres i've, but he kept at tho task, and by
evening the stack Of letters on his library
desk was lessened appreciably. Tonight
sta ement in the dispatches that it was
his expressed desire that Towne remain
on the populist ticket; that the demo
Gratis name a full ticket, and that the eIs
perience OF '98 when he was the candi-
date of the democrats and populists
with different running mate, be re-
peated. In reply he stated that he had
not sought to influence either the Sioux
Falls or Kansas City convsn tion, and
whatever action was taken by either
would be absolutely without suggestion
from himself.

a Farming Community Near
Clinton. Iowa.

A large number of farmers around
Clinton, Ia, have entered Upon Il
movement that promises much in the
way Of good roads. The city and coun-
ty has macadamized a highway four
miles into the country in the direc-
ton of Elvira, an inland town, and the
center of a lar - and wealthy farm
ing community. The county proposes
to extend the macadam a couple of
miles the coming season, but that does
not satisfy the farmers, so they have
subscribed over $4,000 now and the
amount is still growing. They sub
scribe from $40 to $100 each, depend
ing upon the number of acres owned.
They propose that the macadam be
this year extended six miles to Elvira.
which is the terminus of the new rural
mail delivery route. They further pro-
pose to extend the system of good
roads by running north and south
from the terminus so that others
can be accommodated. Farmers still
farther away are offering to help and
it is likely that within two years
the macadam will be extended TO
the towns in the western portion of
the county. a distance of 80 miles.
The board is thus encouraged to con-
centrate improvements and have a
system of good roads, instead of scat
tering improvements, as has hereto
fore been the plan.-Prairie Farmer.

A Cold Night In Canada.

The sky at night is a deep dark blue,
and the stars are like dropping balls
of fire, so close they seem to be almost
within reach. The northern lights look
as if a titanic paint brush had been
dipped in p-hosphorescent flame and
drawn in great bold strokes across the
heavens. AS you pass the electric lamps
you see very fine particles of snow
caught up by the wind, and glittering
high in the air like diamonds. But
it is a cold night, and you are not sorry
to get into your room. First of all, you
take a blankeS or so from the bed, for
there are people in Canada who sleep
all the year round with only a sheet
over them, to such a pitch of perfec-
ton have they brought the heating of
their rooms After you have tucked
yourself in the stiffness of the night is
broken occasionally by a report like a
cannon. Have you ever been inside a
bathing machine when a mischievous
boy threw a stone at it? And, if so,
do you remember how you jumped?
When the walls of a wooden house
crack in the bitter cold the effect is
similar, only magnified. But you know
what it means here, SO you only draw
the clothes closer around you, thank
full that you are snug and warm. And
so Observation-Disclosures.

T'other day. much in wan of a subject

Thinks to myself I have hit on a strain,
Sure Marriage is just like a Deyonshire

In the first place. tbs long, and when once
you are in it,
1t holds you as fast as a cage does a lin

Fer however rough and dirty the road

Drive forward you must, there Is no turn

But though tbs so long, it is not very
wide,
For two are the most that together may
ride;
And cen then tbs a chance but they get
in a pother,
And iostle and cross, and run foul of each
other.
oft Poverty greets them with mendicans
looks.
And Care pushes by them, o'erladen with
crooks;
And strife's grazing wheels try between
them to pass,
And -Stubborness blocks up the way on
her ass.
Then the banks are so high. to the left

That they shut out the beauties around

And hence you'll allow It's IN inference

That marriage is just like a D~evonshire

But thinks I, too. these banks within
which we are pent.
With bud, blossom and berry are richly
besprent;
And the conjugal fence. which forbids us
to roam,
Looks lovely. when decked with the com.
forts of home.
In the rocks gloomy crevice the bright
holly grows.
The ivy waves fresh DER the whitening
rose:
And the evergreen love of a virtuous wife
Soothes the roughness of care-cheers the
winter of life.
Then long be the journey, and narrow the

IN rejoice that I've seldom a turnpike to
And whate'er others say, be the last to

Though Marriage be just like a Devon

PENNY FINES ON STUDENTS.
French Professor Imposes Them nj
Chicago University when English
Words Are Spoken.

Prof. 1ngress. one of the new French
instructors at the University of Chiea-
go, issued a startling announcement to
his French class the other day. He is
DESTROYS of having his students speak
French and French only. and in his dis
! course he told his students that here
after all those in the class must adhere
to French or pay a fine of one cent for
each English word used in the lecture
hour.
The announcement staggered the
class for awhile. as there are many
who are tackling the language for the
first time. Inside of the first half hour
there were enough breaks and cor
responding ines of pennies thrown
into the professors hat to make a
small boy leave his happy home. Prof
Ingress insists that French is the only
language tolerated, and the students
are coming TO class with all the pennies
they can get from the conductors on
their way to school.
Prof. Ingress comes from MeGill uni
versity. Toronto, but would not say
whether he imposed the same condi.
tions upon his students in Toronto.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Gen. stone Suggests That Their Es-
t~ablishment Might Promote
Building of Roads.

How to have good roads everywhere
is a big problem in the United States.
but there are certain sanguine advo-
Gates of the good roads movement who
are studying il with fair prospects of
success in its solution. In the gretaer
part of western Europe roads are uni
formly good; in the greater part of
the United States they are uniformly
bad. To remedy this condition there
has been as yet nj practical plan pre-
sented, but Gen. Stone, of the agri-
cultural department, Washington, has
supplied this d~esideratum. Not only
does his plan seem feasible, but it en-
ables two good movements to supple
ment each other.
Gen. Stone says in order for the
good roads movement to be effectual
provision must be made for vast sums
of money at very low rates of interest
for use in the general construction of
highways throughout the country.
Happily, the postal savings bank sys-
tenn, if adopted, would provide these
funds. One of the chief arguments
against the postal savings bank has
been that there would be no oppor-
tunity for the proper investment of the
funds. This drawback is removed
by the suggestion that the funds could
be employed exclusively for road SON
struction, the money being loaned on
county bonds guaranteed by the state,
the rate of interest to be the same. or
practically so, that the government
would pay on saving deposits-say pos
sibly two per cent.
As to the advantages of this form of
employing savings Gen. Stone says:
"No investment could be safer than
that in public roads, which add at least
tenfold their cost to the value of the
property which is pledged for the debt.
The small interest charged could in
most cases be taken out of the pres
ent amount of road taxation and still
leave enough to keep good roads in
good order, so that the great result of
good roads everywhere would be
brought about without a perceptible
increase in taxation
The scheme seems practical. Some
of the eastern states, particularly New
York, New Jersey and Massachusetts,

Others contribute vast sums to the re-
lief of widows and orphans. Most of
them are entitled to public respect and
confidence. Yet none has ever become
so dear to the people at large as the
order known as the Grand Army of the
Republic. In volume of membership it
is outstripped by several other instItu-
tions; in point of wealth it is n of
the lowliest. But the fact that none
but military or naval veterans of the
great civil war can participate in its
rights and benefits makes membership
in it a badge of patriotism; and the
simple ''comrade" of the Grand Army /,
clad in his plain blue coat and prim-
tive SLOUGH hat, is a greater man in
public estimation than the ''plumed
knight" and regalia-bedecked ''poten-
tate" whose gaudy ;.ccoutrements are
without significance to the uninitiated.
The faded uniform tells a story of hard
ships and privations endured for the
sake of the flag we all love, of bloody
struggles for the perpetuation of the
union, of devotion to a cause whose
justice is now recognized by those who
once thought of finding political happi-
ness and national greatness in the Gre
alton of a new republic out of detached
fragments of the old.
The idea of organizing the veterans
of the civil war into a compact, easily
managed secret society originated
with DR.. Benjamin Franklin Stephen
son., surgeon of the Fourteenth Illinois
infantry, and Chaplain w. J. Rutlegc.
of the same regiment, while both were
still at the front. After the surrender
of the confederate forces at Apo
mattox Courthouse, and Immediately
following the historic parade of
Grants and Sherman's armies at Wash
ington, Stephenson and Rutlege o
suited a number of eX-soldiers in re-
gard to their plan. These talks" re-
suited in the organization of the de
partment of Illinois of the Grand Army
of the Republic" at Springfield, in
March, 1866. Twelve veterans residing
at Decatur, ILL.,, were so pleased with
the principles of the new institution
that they applied for a charter and
were constituted the first post of the
order, April 6, 1866. In less than four
weeks the department of Illinois had
IS posts, and applications for charters
poured into the offices of the order
from every northern state. A ritual
was framed by experienced secret So
ciety men and accepted by the general
officers in May, 1866. On July IS, of the
same year, the provisional department
organization was made permanent,
with Gen. John NJ. Palmer as com
mander. DR.. Stephenson, the founder
of the army. had expected to have this
honor bestowed on him, and deeply felt
what he considered the ingratitude of
his comrades. But, like a true and
loyal soldier, he overcame his chagrin
