The ignorance of foreigners as to
American geography and Government
was shown by the italian Premier writ
3ng an order for the Italian warships to
sail directly to New Orleans and de-
1aand indemnity for the Malta scoun-
dreis executed by the mob. He was
with difficulty restrained from issuing
fhe order By showing him on the map
how difficult it would be for Italian
r'arshps to reach New Orleans, and
that such step would involve war with
the United States.

Herbert George WelIes, prominent as
the author Of several Socialist novels.
withdraws from and denounces a lead
ing Socialist organization, because its
scheme involves a father being COM
PEELED to support his children. This form
OF slavery" is repugnant to him, be-
cause it makes mother and child Geo.
nomically dependent upon the father"
His idea is that the State should sup
port mother and child, and thus en-

Commander E. D. Coe, Department
Of Wisconsin, made timely and sensi-
BILE recommendation in his General
Order for the National Encampment:
Comrades are requested, if able to
make the march, to do so, whether uni
formed or not. The line of march is
two miles. Comrades, do not march
unless you are in good health and have
pair of strong legs. Wisconsin wants
no casualties.
''Do not feel obliged to carry flags or
banners. 1t is left to your discretion.
But If only one is carried let it be Old
Glory"

Among the petty annoyances that the
new management of the Soldiers
Homes seems to be intent upon infiict-
ing on the veterans is the removal of
most of the benches and seats that the
veterans have heretofore enjoyed under
the shade trees around the Pacific
Home. These benches have been a
great pleasure to the old men for
lounging places on pleasant afternoons,
and especially while waiting for the
dinner call.

Since Germany is now in position to

To the ordinary mind this page seems
singularly innocuous. In fact, it seems
ture, since its object is to acquaint the
young pupil with facts in American his
tory, and fix in his mind names and
personages prominent in our annals.
1t would seem that this was more at
tractive method of presenting problems
than the dry old way about John hav-
ing Is apples and giving Albert four
and Jane three. The page which the
publishers have pasted in has questions
like this:
'"rhe first Superintendent of Public
instruction in Texas was appointed Nov.
10, 1866. and served until Aug. 81, 1867.
How long did he serve?''
While this is useful as an exercise in
computing days and months, yet we
submit that the first Superintendent of
Public Instruction in Texas was far
from being as interesting a parsonage
as the President of the United States,
and it is far less desirable to have
pupil acquainted with his personality
than with that of some man who has
been elected by the voice Of the people
to their highest Office.
Emboldened by the success of their
first insurrecfion, the Confederate vet
Grams are now seeking with micro
scope to find Objectionable things in

their intention of having eliminated
everything that will "detract from the
glory OF Texas and of the South" Page
233 is said to offend in this way. be-
cause it gives the date of George wash
ington's election, says that Lincoln was
elected II years later, and asks in what
year was Lincoln elected. Page 14S is
held guilty, because it states that the
New York displaces $500
tons of water. while the battleship
Texas only displaces 6.315. If this is |
not treason to Texas, what in the world
IS it? The same page still further Of

Report of Their Drowning Proves to
he False.
A report OF a second case of drowning
was brought to the South Omaha police
station last evening about 10 o'clock, but
proved to be erroneous. This report
was that two children, son and
daughter Of Mrs. Gallagher, living in Sarpy
county, were drowned In the same washout,
where Martin Tighe and his oldest son met
their death. A driver at Moshers barn had
a message written by the neighbors whom
he declared had found the bodies, and he
was sent to find Mrs. Gallagher, who was
visiting during the afternoon in South
Omaha. Mrs Gsllaghers children were
not injured.
The storm in South Omaha was very
severe and han fell in quantities to cause
some damage. Three hundred window
glasses in the Henderson green house were
broken. Some of the stones we're an inch
and one-half in diameter. A bolt OF
lightning struck the steeple Of the First
Presbyterian church, shattering It. Another
struck the house of officer Joe Ballew in
Albright. The intersection of Twentieth
and n streets was badly damaged The
same is reported from several other inter-
sections.
