Stream of Friends.
A continuous stream OF friends or Mr..
and Mrs. Krug came during the receiving
hours, which were from to 6, and many
of the old settlers stopped for short reml-
niscent chats. Many of the oldest inhab-
itants who had come to Omaha before
Omaha was had known Mr. Krug during
all these years and congratulated him on
his celebration and the fact that he had
SO many of his children with him. Be
sides the hundreds who came during the
afternoon many sent their regrets and
several cablegrams were received from
Germany, the birthplace of Mr.. Krug
Hundreds of kilograms and letters were
received.
Fred Krug was born in Niederzwehrn
bel Cassel, Germany, and Mrs. Krug was
born at Coburg, Saxony. They were mar
ried fifty years ago yesterday at st. Louis
when Fred Krug, %, led the beautiful
Anna wittig. IS, to the altar They lived
in St Louis for time and William Krug
the eldest son. was born there. They then
moved to Council Bluffs. or Kanesville
as It was then called, where Edward was
born After living in Council Bluffs for
one year they moved to Omaha, where
they have resided since.
Mr.. and Mrs Krug have been blessed
with nine children and they are all liv'
ing and were at the celebration except
one daughter, who died some years ago al
the age of IS. The children are William
Edward. Fred, jr.. Jacob and Albert Krus
and Miss Lena Krug, Mrs. Tillie Becht
and Mrs. Anna Wiedermann.
Lest they might slight some OF theil
old friends by oversight in not sending g
personal invitation, Mr.. and Mrs. Krus
decided to extend a general invitation
through the press to all their old friends
and the response was hearty and large.

At the midsummer board meeting of the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
74S applicants for membership In the So
ciety were admitted, bringing the total
number of members up to 58,S0l. As usual
politics are very much in evidence in the
national society and prospects are that
Mrs. Donald Mclean, the president GEN
eral, will not be reelected without some
very active assistance from her friends.
Twice in the past Mrs. Mclean has been
defeated as a candidate for the first office
of the national society and II is said that
her opponents have never been better or
ganized nor more determined than they
are this year. One faction of the society
Is advocating the reelection Of Mrs.
Charles w. Fairbanks, who served so sat
isfactorily previous to Mrs. McLeans ad-
ministration, but considering the political
interests of Mrs. Fairbanks husband there
is little possibility of her seriously consid-
ering this hattering suggestion OF her
friends. But there are plenty OF other
aspiTants for the first office and numbered
among them are wives of several United
States senator's and other men of high
political position. One faction OF the So
ciety has long been In favor OF electing to
this position only women who can COM
mand strong political influence and so
women OF lesser social position. regardless
of their qualifications. have had little
chance. The western states have furnished
some Of the strongest opposition to this
plan.

In reviewing the years work, Mrs. Ade-
laid Rood, the president said that If the
union had made a mistake 1t was in at
tempting too much. She advised for this
year that the women concentrate their eff
forts and then finish whatever they un-
dertake. Among last years efforts where
little more persistence might have ac-
complished more, Mrs. Rood named the
effort of the union to secure the use OF
text books on scientific temperance in the
public schools, and the agitation for plac-
ing all women confined In the city jail
under the supervision of woman. She
urged that the union continue its agta-
ton for night matron at the city jail and
that IL necessary IT enlist the assistance of
other organizations in this effort.

The Public Opinion Of WATERFOWL
says d. III. Campbell, sheriff Of Brook
ings county and machine candidate
for state treasurer, is honest because
he acknowledges having rode on a
pass and put in a bill and was paid
for mileage while he rode with the
pass and at the same time condemns
Philo Hall because he first stated that
ne had done the same thing. The
Bookings Press had lied about the
amount Mr.. Hall has received in that
manner and Mr.. Campbell has fallen
considerably short in his estimate Of
the amount he has actually received
in the same way. Neither Mr.. Hall
nor Mr.. Campbell has done the people
an injustice. But the machine"
newspapers, knowing that Philo Hall
was the man most to be feared have
stopped to the lowest political practices
in their anxiety to defeat him. We
have not attempted to hold Mr.. Camp
bell up to ridicule, but merely to con-
tend that if there was any criminality,
or any breech of trust in the method
as has been charged against Mr.. Hall
then every public officer who collected
mileage wcs like guilty. If Dyer
Campbell still contends that Philo
Hall is guilty of a misdemeanor then
he stands, by his own admission,
branded with the same brand. He is
then a self-confessed criminal and is
not a tit person to be placed in charge
of the wealth of this state. The fact
remains however that the ''machine'
have had a lot Of "cheap john" edi-
tors like Charlie Allen and G.. NJ. Day
to start some sort Of yarn that would
catch the unwary voter and these two
have all during the campaign made
more ''bulls" than the more cOnserva-
tive could patch up. This pass bust
ness has, like the rest, proven a BOOM
erang, and has given the voters an
opportunity of realizing what a system
of passgiving there is in the state.
Keep it up a few weeks and the machine
will not have anything to crow about.
They will have to eat crow prepared by
their own cooks.

All Ride on Passes

The machine party representatives
at Washington all ride on passes and
charge and collect mileage from the
United States. The system is wrong.
Lets go after the system. The machine
in South Dakota is not going after
the system. The insurgent wing OF
the party is. The state law says that
the attorney general shall draw $1,000
per year as salary, and five cents per
mile for each mile travelled in an Off
cial capacity. The machine papers
think 1t all right for Kittredge, Burke,
and Martin to ride on passes and
collect from the United States, they
think it all right for the sheriff of
BrooKings county to ride on passes,
and then collect mileage from his
county, but because Philo Hall, the
insurgent candidate for congress, has
collected from the state according to
state law, yet openly stands opposed
to the system, does not merit the
confidence OF the people. The salary
OF the Attorney General is the lowest
OF any state officer, and it vas the in
tention Of the law that he receive extra
pay when travelling. This is self evil
dent from the fact that five cents per
mile is allowed, when it was absolutely
known that three cents per mile is all
that is required to pay for transporta-
ton. However, the T'nGs does not
endorse the takin - mileage from
the state by Hall, which he was never
called upon to pay. However, the
writer does believe that under the law,
he is entitled to the full pay, and
according to the law of justice, would
be entitled to an amount equal to the
difference between five cents per mile
and the amount which he would
necessarily have to pay for ~transporta-
ton in case he did not have a pass.
This is true because the writer believes
it was the intention of the law to pay
the attorney general something IN
addition to the stipulated salary, was
fixed in this way because the attorney
general has spare time when not
actually employed in work for the
state; that the nominal salary pays for
the actual services, while the mileage
plan was intended to pay for time
actually spent in travel. 1t is right
that the attorney general should have
pay for this time, but he should not
be recompensed for any money which
he has never spent.-Watertown Times.

Governor Elrod is heralded by his
friends as a "careful' governor, as a
"judicious executive" as a "safe
man." You bet he is all that. He is
as careful as a pussy cat walking past
a big bull dog, as iudicious as a fellow
pleading his own cause before a lynch
ing party, as '~'safe," we'll, if he hadn't
been considered as perfectly "safe" he
would never have been hauled up out
Of the lifelong obscurity of sixteen
different kinds of republicanism of
he boasts and decorated with
the arms of the machine which put
him where he is now. He is so safe
that he has never made one move at
variance with the course laid out for
him, never peeped on his own account,
never said one word or done a single
thing that would show him to be any
thing more than an automaton.
Isn't it so? Has he? OF course he is
a nice little fellow, a real nice little
fellow and a good moral nice man,
but so far as his holding any views
upon any subject whatever, except
that he is glad that he lives in South
Dakota and is a republican governor,
show up n or two. He has never
done darlington Sun.

And He Passes

Governor Elrod is having to do a
great deal of explaining at present.
In his attempt to serve the people and
the machine" politicians he has had
his ''wires crossed' and the ''short
circuits" are bound to make the
machine" slip a cog somewhere. An
exchange commenting upon this says:
"The next offense against the consti-
tuition on the part OF the governor is
in thesnature of pure graft. The con-
stitution fixes the salary OF the COVER
nor at So, 200 per annum, and it further
says he shall receive "no fees or per-
quisites whatever for the performance
OF any duties" After being allowed
81 800 for salary of private secretary,
81 800 for stationery, Office supplies,
~incidentals and stenographer each
year, by an act ofthe Legislature, which
he should have vetoed, if his regard
for his official oath had any binding
effect on him, he receives 81 400 per
annum under the guise of a contingent
fund. He draws it in monthly INSTALL
ments regularly each month, the con-
tingency being a mere myth"

There was a time when the Democrats
held the balance of power in this

the offices with Populists, there was
only room at the pie counter for the
