cial. i'm spite of the fact that the

able. There are occasional bursts of
disaffection. but nothing serious, due
largely to the influence of John Bar

German people, will show up very
favorably with any county in Ne
braska, reports to the CONTRARY not

here are intensely patriotic American
citizens and will uphold the admins
