WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN.

The graduating class of the state
university is agitated. It's committee
on program prepared list Of dis
tinguished Americans, beginning
with Senator Beveridge and Mr..
Cleveland, and invited them one after
another to deliver an address at the
next commencement. The first seven
declined, and the eighth, who was
B. T. Washington, of Alabama, ac-
cepted. Mr.. Washington is a negro,
and many young Nebraskans it seems
are unwilling to be addressed OH grad
uation day by a negro. They say
their parents wouldn't allow it.
The state university is believed to
be all educational institution. Young
people 60 there to acquire knowledge.
The state supports it in order that
they may in turn support the state.
One of the most difficult problems be-
fore the nation today is the DISPOSE
tion of the negroes. We imported
them by force, took more or less
pains with them for a couple of
hundred years, and then turned them
loose told them to be white men and
vote. AS result they seem to be re-
lapsing into African barbarism, mill
ions of them. No white statesman
sees his way through the difficulty.
If this very able black M. A. does, or
thinks he does, it is well worth while
for anybody to give him a hearing.
The graduating class may learn more
that will be of service to the country
from him than from good many
| white speakers.

THE OTOES.

The editor of the Tribune was much
interested in the account, given on
another page, of the Otoe Indians,
by gentleman who has been among
them recently. They are scanty and
vanishing race; there are only few
hundred of them left. We have a right
to feel peculiar interest in them, be-
cause they were the original occupants
of the soil that we call ours today.
Original, that is, so far as the memory
of man goes. The spade of the arch
aeologist may some day teach us of
others who dwelt here before they
drifted down from the north, but they
were the ones the white men found
here, and they had occupied this cor
ner between the Platte and Nemaha
rivers for long time; probably since
before they received the horse. They
have never, so far as the writer
knows, been studied in regard to their
legends and traditions, as the Pawnees
and some other tribes have been; but
they seem to have been rather fine
lot, for Indians, in their natural
state. Early travellers, back in the
30's and thereabouts, speak of them in
high terms. They are said to have
been the terror Of the surrounding
tribes, from their fierceness in war
and their great skill in the use Of
weapons.
1t would not be bad idea for the
Old Settlers association to interest
themselves in these still older settlers
We would like very much to get to-
gether all the "reminiscences anecdotes,
pictures or anything of that kind that
any one may have regarding the Otoes.

Pitching hay is hard work for any
one, but for the man who has the
least tendency to bronchitis It is dam
gerous, because of the small particles
of dust and chaff which are inhaled
and greatly irritate the throat.
Bronchitis and other diseases OF the
organs of respiration are cured by
the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. This great remedy
is not to be classed with common
cough medicines, which are mainly
opiates. There is no opium in
uGolden Medical Discovery" and it
is entirely free from cocaine and all
other narcotics. 1t is a non-alcoholic
and non-narcotic medicine. 1t heals
the infamed tissues, cures obstinate,
deep-seated coughs, bleeding lungs
and other conditions, which, if neg
lected or unskilfully treated, termi-
nate fatally in consumption.
81 wrote to you for advice and you adj
vised me to take Golden Medical Discov-
cry and Pleasant Pellets, which did,
and to my surprise got WELL" writes Mr..
Joseph A. Valleroy, of Forman, Ill. Box 81.
"Had what the doctors called bronchitis,
and whenever would take cold would suf-
fer greatly; but since taking two bottles OF
DR.. Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery and
one bottle Of his Pleasant Pellets have
been cured Of that terrible trouble. Before
taking your medicine weighed one hun
dEed and twenty pounds; now weigh one
hundred and thirty"
The sole motive for substitution is
to permit the dealer TO make the little
more profit paid by the sale of less mer-
itorious medicines. He gains you
lose. Therefore accept no substitute
for Golden Medical Discovery
DR.. Pierce's Pellets cleanse thu
system from accumulated impurities

IF Mr.. Whitneys horses are run salts
factorily in 1902, which they most dis
tinctiy were not in 1901. though neither
Mr.. Whitney nor his trainer were ever
held accountable for their vagaries in
form. there is no reason why Nasturtum's 8
