Sir: Your favor Of 9Th inst. at hand and

speak are to a certain extent correct, but
are presented so as to be quite misleading
owing doubtless to your having been i'm
posed upon with pretudieed information.

O00) my personal obligations to the Kear-
ney National bank were about 1900. These
loans were made on what was believed to
be good security-a block and residence
property In Beatrice costing 5000, a farm
in Clay county costing $4,000, and q resi-
dence property In Kearney costing $500. q
total OF s11.500. Against these were other
FIRST mortgages for $500, but the whole
affording ample security under norma busi-
ness conditions.
over and above the items referred to
above. the obligations to which you refer
were contracted BY the former Hub Print
ing company. whose plant at that time was
valued at SIS 900. The bank was secured
by notes and ehattel mortgage and the plant
was finally sold under the latter. These
were not my personal liabilities. They fol-
lowed me merely to the amount OF stock
that ! held in the company.
These are facts that are known to many
people in Kearney, n ! am willing they
should be known of all men. There Is
nothing which l wish to conceal. The obi.
cations were contracted In a regular man
ner. The creditor took for security all thai
I had and all that the company had. The

Rev. p. F. Mccarthy Of Omaha, who is

In Rome on the 24th inst, having traversed
the Mediterranean route to Naples. In a
letter to an Omaha friend he gives an ac-
count Of his journey and the scenes n in

ter, in part, follows:

I was not sick a minute while crossing
the Atlantic. although we we're tossed about
In q storm for t~wenty-four hours. We ar
rived In the harbor Of Gibraltar at 8 q. m,
February II. A Methodist minister and
myself were up at dawn to get a sunrise
view of the straits. You were then, to-
gether with the other honest people Of
Omaha. In the ARM Of Morpheus. We
agreed that there were several places In the
straits more strategetical in time Of war
than the celebrated rock. The sea was very
choppy and l had to admire the agility of
the port doctor as he climbed over the
steamers side. He appeared to be about
60 years OF age. his hair was gray and his
teeth. which were very visible. resembled
the headstones in a graveyard after q copi-
GUS shower OF rain. His first words, as he
came alongside In a steam launch, were

After q delay Of 1--WE hours We lifted
anchor and started on our last beat for
Naples, more than 900 miles away. Those
OF Us who found themselves on the Med
iterrAnean Sea for the FIRST time were OF
course interested In the highest degree.
The captain said we were having q very
smooth sail on this historical lake. So Il
seemed. There was hardly q JOLT.
We left Gibraltar Monday afternoon ana
dropped anchor in the Bay OF Naples at 8
q. m. the following Thursday. AS soon as
we appeared In the bay the water seemed
to swarm with boatmen. Our steerage pas
sengers. all Italians. who for twelve days
wore very poor clothing. now appeared on
deck dressed to kill. One young maj who
had become an American citizen was re-
turning after an absence Of six years to get
married and then come back to America.
The boatmen surrounded the steamer in
crowds and Il was amusing to witness the
Ioshing between the returning sxlles and
their countrymen.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-03-16

The steamer remained In the harbor nve
hours. Many Of the voyagers went ashore,
took cabs and visited the galleries Of the
rock. AS we entered the water port, after
leaving the tender, we were met by the
chief Of police, who Issued us passes to re-
main in town until the first gun hre. It is
the policy Of the British government TO
make Gibraltar a purely garrison town. Six
thousand troops are stationed here. No
person. unless q British subject Is per-
mitted to remain in town over night About
5000 spaniards come over every morning to
work OF the new dry dock. They are
obliged &c be out Of town every night be-
fore the gun FIRE.

I simply strolled up the street for some
distance. All languages under heaven seem
to be spoken here. The place is rendered
very picturesque by the presence of the
Moors, who come over every day from Tan
giers In Africa. Only two Of these people
are British subjects and are allowed to re-
main over night. No one but = British sub
ject is permitted TO do business in the place.

to the usually accepted idea, the Earl

credence from the story that he once

ne may be he is not effeminate.

daub his letter heads and envel
opes with rubber stamp and
thus lead outsiders to think that
there is no printer in his town he
ought TO be salted. Such a man
as that when he comes to die,
ought to have his obituary and the
usual resolutions OF his lodge
printed on a fence board with a
rubber stamp. And when he has
a baby a, his house, or party. or
a son or daughter gets married, or
he gets married himself, full ac-
count OF the important event might
be printed with a rubber stamp on
a sheet OF wrapping paper and
tackled on his front door And
when he is candidate for office he
might stamp himself a label to the
effect that he wants to be sheriff or
constable, road supervisor or
justice OF the peace, as the case
may be, and pm that fast to
the bosom OF his pants. And
when the opposition jumps on to
him he might stamp another label.
