The council of the Daughters of the
American Revolution of Nebraska. held last
week at Fairbury, was perhaps the most
satisfactory gathering that that organiza-
ton has yet enjoyed. Every possible at
tention was shown the visiting women
socially and after the business session
the public reception held at the court house
afforded the citizens generally an oppor-
tunity of meeting the women and learning
more of the purpose of their organization.
Upon recommendation of Adjutant General
Culver, who addressed the meeting, the
women will place a marker at old Fort
Kearney, which was one of the most inn
portant military posts of the state at one
time 1t was further decided that Mrs.
C. 8. Langworthy and Mrs. A. c. Troup
should present the stand Of eolors from
the Daughters of the American Revolution
of the state to the battleship Nebraska
at the same time that the governor pre-
sents the silver service from the state.
The stand of colors was on exhibition at
the court house during the reception Mrs.
c. s. Langworthy of Seward was unani-
mously reelected regent. Mrs. A. K.

On the other hand, those opposing the
biennial meetings assert that, deprived of
the inspiration of the annual meeting, the
work of the state will suffer immeasure-
ably. 1t will be just as difficult for the
women in the large counties of the west
and northern part of the state to attend
the district as the state meeting each year,
and they will be denied the benefit of the
reports of the clubs of the other districts.
One believer in the benefits of keeping
before the public brings the argument that
1t means more than the women can esti-
mate to meet each year and let the state
know what they are doing. Many who
believe that the opposition to the biennial
meeting is prejudice more than anything
else and that with the district meetings
so well worked up as they now are this
opposition will die out and the proposed
amendment carry at the next state meeting.

Province House stories, of which "Lady Eleanor's Mantle" and "Old Esther Dudley" would, make the hair of susceptible listener bristle, and the old statehouse, said to be haunted by the spirit or ghost of Sam Adams, in one of whose rooms the great pa triot said to General Dalrymp.e, "lf you have the authority to remove one regiment from the town of Boston you have the power to remove both, and we demand that both of the. regiments go out of town" after which order was obeyed the two British regiments were sarcasucally called the Sam Adams regiments, The Province House stood near the present Boston tavern. The Indian vane became the property of Major Ben: Perley Poor and was placed in his historical museum at Ride Hill farm, near Newburyport. It is now in the old statehouse museum, Boston.
 This neighborhood gave rise to many tales in Revolutionary days. An agent of General Gage came to Sam Adams and said:

The runner made third, and the Kingston rooters yelled themselves hoarse.

 Sir" said sam Adams, ''l trust that I long ago made my peace with the King of kings, and no power on earth shall make me recreant to my duties to my country"
 Sam Adams went to Salem to a con vention, locked the door against any intrusion from officers of General Gage. and he and John Hancock were there elected delegates to the Continental con- gress at Philadelphia
 On his return to Boston a committee of carpenters met him, and the spokes- man said:
 "Mr. Adams, you have been elected as our delegate to the Continental con gross. Your house is very much out of repair"
 'Is 1t? I did not think of it-I am so engaged in these matters of cor respondence between the colonies. It keeps the weather out"
 We have come to ask you to let us repair it. now that you have become our representative"
 "Yes, yes; you are very good. Re pair it in any way that you like--it will suit me- You are very good: very good. It Is an honor to represent such people"
 Next came the matters to the new representative.
 ''Mr. Adams: ah, Mir. Adams" said their leader, excuse me, but your hat is rather worn; it has seen good serv- ice. Now that you have been made our representative to the Continental con- gross, it would please us to give you a new hat"
