and was gifted and accomplished as well
as popular. Three years later she married
Henry T. Clarke I'd, son Of Henry T.
Clarke of Omaha. The wedding took place
at the First Congregational church Septem-
Der p. 1901, and was one of the most con-
spicuous affairs of the year. Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarke lived in Omaha until three years
ago., when his appointment as railway com
missioner took them to Lincoln. Three
sturdy sons have beeen born to them,

Miss Ella Cotton, daughter Of Mrs. Her
man Kountze, was the eighth queen of Ak
Sar-Ben and one of the most beautiful.
She had completed her education the
spring before at Lasell seminary, Boston,
and had been home only a short time. The
time was sufficient, however, to make her
a general favorite socially, although she
had not yet been formally introduced and
there were many who felt sure she would
be chosen queen. She was first to reject
the heavy red coronation robe that had
done service since the house of Ben
had had a queen, and in it's stead sub
stituted a blue velvet mantle of similar
design, but more in keeping with her girl
ishness. A few weeks after the ball Mrs.
Kountze formally presented her daughter
and the reception was one of the most
memorable of the many brilliant functions
given at Forest Hill.
In 1903 Miss Cotton married Frederick a
Nash I'd, son of the late L. w. Nash and
Mrs. Nash, and a daughter, Frederick
Nash, was born to them. Mr.. Nash lived
less than two years after their marriage

ERA OF FREE LAND CLOSED
Greatest Epoch In American History
the Era POr-
fenda.

The west is now enclosed. The free land
has been taken up. There is now no home
stead to be had for the asking. The frontier
has only an historical Significance. The
national domain is a thing Of the past. The
public lands which now remain are chiefly
arid in character" says the public land
commission. The opportunity for a home,
which for three centuries has been open to
all, has finally been closed by title. deeds
or fraudulently appropriated by individuals
and corporations in collision with the gov
m
The enclosure of the free public domain
terminates the greatest epoch in American
history. In a big perspective 1t may be
likened to the fall Of Rome, the opening
up of a new route to India by Vasco da
Cana, or the discovery of America by
Columbus. 1t marks the end of the west
ward drift of civilization, a drift which,
with occasional Interruptions, has been
going on since the beginning of history.
Ever since the seventeenth century the
old world has had a vent in America. Dur
ing these centuries Europe has been re-
lieved Of it's discomfort by the broad hos
pitable prairies of the west. America has
been a hospital for all of the world. The
opportunity which it offered has relieved
the explosive elements of other lands and
brought them back into harmony with
life.
An undertow s now setting back upon
the east. Population is crowding in upon
our cities. The energetic wage Garner, who
formerly followed the westward trail, is
now entering the trades union. Here he
will find expression for the energy which
formerly found an outlet in the west. II
is this that explains the present industrial
unrest. 1t is this that accounts for the
political ferment. No longer can the dis
contented hope to improve his fortunes in
another longitude. He must remain at
home, become a tenant or a wage Garner.
1t is this, too, that explains the coming
of poverty and distress. The alternative of
a homestead in the west, which for three
centuries has relieved the dispossessed of
the world, is now closed forever. 1t is
this that explains the change which has
come over the spirit of America during the
last ten years. And as time goes on this
spirit of unrest must of necessity increase.
In this sense, as has been said, America
is the mirror Of all history. An understand
ing Of the evolution Of our own land offers
a key to an understanding of the evolution
of the western world, from the beginnings
