Digging up a buried treasure chest over In
Iowa has also dug up a nearly 60-year-old mur
der. Some digging!
Just so we do not get an over-swelled ego,
let us note that the bir wrestling match in
Omaha drew Just five lines in New York news
papers. 1 Ear be It from us to insinuate that that "Ne
braska's most distinguished man" Jury, ap
pointed by Governor Morehead, was packed or
unduly Influenced.
On the decision as to who ia "Nebraska's
most distinguished man." we ''appeal from the
Jury to the bleachers. And if the verdict is not
for Joe Stecher, we'll eat our hatl
Mystery shrouds the means of Dynamiter
Holt's taking off. Whether a dive or a shot ef
fected the exit is uncertain. The result is not In
doubt That is sufficient to Invite forgetful
' ness.
The allied Invaders of Oalllpoll need not
lose time reading up on Osman Pasha's famous
defense of Plevna. The Turks on their front
furnish visible and deadly evidence of national
valor.
The British report on the landing of the
allies on Galilpoll reflects the literary skill of
the writer and shows the Importance of com
manding generals being their own publicity
agents.
Another protest against military drills In
public schools goes up from a woman's conven
tion. The objection might be taken more seri
ously if the old-time woodpile were available
as a spinal column regulator.
Bankers in convention naively au.utt that
closer business relations with farmers would be
a wholesome innovation in the world of finance.
The clasp of the smooth palm and the horny
fist is calculated to excite considerable Interest.
Daniel Webster's famous maxim, "Murder
will out," Is recalled by the arrest of persons
concerned In the Iowa tragedy of nearly half a
century ago. Mr. Webster believed that a blood
atalned conscience became Its own accuser. In
the Iowa case a belated wrangle over the divi
sion of the sordid loot Is the accusing motive.
Crops at the Beginning of July
The Department of Agriculture Is teaching
us to think In billions when we come to consider !
our growing cropa. It reports for the crop con- j
dltlons at the beginning of July a promise of al-
moat a billion bunhels of wheat and close to
three billion bunhels of corn. At current mar
l.et prices this means about two and three
t.uarters billions of dollars for these two crops
alone. Other farm products are In like propor
tion and prosperity, and with a continuing
promise of excellent yield. These figures may
be changed some by the following weeks, but It
is likely that no serious decrease will be noted.
Wheat harvest Is being delayed to some extent
by the wet weather, but no great loss of the
ield is anticipated on this score. On the other
hand, the corn will profit largely by the moisture
now provided, and with the normal amount of
sunshine In July and August will attain a growth
that will easily excel all records.
That the estimates are conservative is Indi
cated by the figures given for Nebraska. The
wheat yield for this state is set down at 73,000,
000, although some well pouted crop observers
have set the figure at not less than 80,000,000
bushels. For corn Nebraska's total is put at
156,000,000, which Is far !s than the normal
yield. For many seasons Nebraska's corn fields
have reliably produced from 175,000,000 to
200,000.000 bushels, and it Is hardly possible
the total will fall very far behind for tho cur
rent season. From any angle, the crop outlook
for the United 8tats Is most encouraging, and
especially is this true of our own state.
Eeipect That Reflects Patriotism.
The most notable feature of the outpouring
of people to take a look at the famous liberty
bell here in Omaha as doubtless also at all the
other stopping points on the transcontinental
route Is the visible manifestation of respect for
the historic relic. Curiosity In more or less de-.
gree Impels people to view the bell, and many
children In the throng are naturally too young
to realize fully the Import, but with one and all
respect plainly outweighs curiosity and the
demonstration Is more a tribute to the symbol
of liberty than the mere satisfaction of a per
sonal desire to see something often read about.
It Is a good sign when the great mass of the
people have respect for the objective reminder
of the costly struggle that gave us our Indepen
dence and laid the foundations of the republic.
So long as the liberty bell commands thla venera
tion there is no danger that true patriotism will
disappear from thla land of the free.
British Recruiting; in the United States.
Great Britain has touched another point In
its relations with the United States which in
volves the general question of neutrality, and
which may become annoying If not acute before
it la finally disposed of. It has to do with the
practice of British "patriotic societies" in this
country aiding "volunteers" to return to Great
Britain to Join the army. It seems the United
States does not undertake to distinguish be
tween this and actual recruiting, and has
checked the progress of the work. In one in
stance going so far as to secure Indictments
against spme of the meir thus enlisted for Kltch:
ener'a army. Against this latter proceeding Am
bassador Eprlng-Rice has lodged a protest. .
The efforta of this' government to hold the
balance fairly between the European combatants
has led to many complications, and will surely
produce more before the war Is ended. It Is
easy to understand why one or the other of the
belligerents should seek, the advantage of our
favor, but there Is no good reason why it ahould
be granted. Many reservists of all nations left
this country at the call to arma, and many others
have gone on aa individuals, and are now In
the trenches, but none have gone out as recruits
gathered here. , .
The point now Insisted upon by Great Brit
ain will likely be met with a dignified and de
termined negative at Washington.

Nebraska's Most Illustrious Citizen.
Governor Morehead'a commission hag dis
charged a delicate task with a really commend
able unanimity. Par be it from us to criticise Its
choice tor the honor of being presented as Ne
braska's most distinguished cltlsen, in view of
the eminent services of Prof. Lawrence Bruner
in the realm of bugology. He is a man of un
usual scientific attainments and much modesty
in the pursuit of his calling. Fame baa now
sought him out, and marked htm for her own.
But the more difficult task yet remains.
First place having been filled by the commis
sion, the scramble for second place Is now open.
At least one member of the governor's commit
tee may lay claim to thla distinction. "Old Bill"
Dech ought not to suffer because he doesn't
push hla own candidacy, and he will find tnany
supporters when his nomination appeara In the
list. Then, what are we to do with the host of
statesmen, educators, promoters, barristers. Jur
ists, soldiers, poets, blow-your-own-horn oratora
and the like, of whom we have so many that It
they were laid end to end, they would reach a
considerable distance and leave some for a lap
over?
Though picking Nebraska's most illustrious
citizen offered no very difficult choice, second
honors are not to be so lightly disposed of.
Mexico's ancient Spanish prison in the har

then all day by another steamboat to Maryavllle,
which waa to be our home for a time. Hundreds of

The Beceaaloniata tame near carrying the Faolfli
atatee out of the union In 1861. The unionists corrv
prteed SO per cent of the population, but they were
divided among the pollth al partlee. Forty per cent
ut the entire population were eouthern-born, and they
all belonged to on party. They had 18,000 men under
military drill In a secret society with branches
throughout California. The atate government. Includ
ing the mllttla, waa "aeceah." The army of federal
officials and their followers were disloyal, almost
every man of them. Floyd, the disloyal secretary of
war In Wahlngton, aent 75.000 muakets out there for
the Beceaaloniata to seise and use. Not that they coul t
have used that number, but the guna were where they
couldn't be used against the south.
The union men didn't appear to realize the peril.
Then the regular army, with Its powerful forts and
armed posts, waa divided Into two dlatrlcta, each
commanded by a loyal colonel; ao union men trusted
to that. But that reliance was suddenly taken away.
The entire coaat waa put Into one department and
Brevet Brigadier General Albert Sidney Johnston waa
given command a seceaslonlst, who later dJed for the
southern cause In the battle of Pittsburgh. Landing.
General Johnston waa a man of unsullied personal
honor, and I do not aay he would have proved an
other Twiggs. Bo were Ice, Jackson, Bragg and
many more honorable and conadentloue; but they
went with the south. General Johnston was sent out
here to co-operate with the aeceeslonleta. Ho the un
armed, unorganized union men were powerless. The
"socesh" had every element of strength on their side,
except a small plurality of numbers. And those 73,000
muakets were In charge of the disloyal. At that mo
ment, when General Johnston took command, the
coast was lost; secession waa to be a mere formality.
But over In old London, In 1M1, a boy waa born
who wss to thwart the conspiracy. Hla parents were
Quakers, but there was fighting Mood in the family;
and an uncle, his mother's brother, commanded an
English ship at Trafalgar. Before he was years of
age his parents brought him to America. He plainly
had a taste for battles. He wss an officer In the
Blsck Hawk Indian war. In the Mexican war he waa
colonel of a regiment and was ' given command ot
a brigade for gallant, and meritorious conduct. Tn
10 he waa practicing law In Han Francisco, where he
had been living nearly ten yeara. Responsive to urgent
calls, In February. 1M. he went to Oregon. It was
a democratic, seceaslonlat state, and he was a repub
lican. There waa not a mile ot railroad In that vast
country, but our hero went everywhere on stag
coach, backboard and In the aaddle addressing peo
ple. Perhaps a more eloquent man never lived. In
October of the same year, I860, he reappeared In Pan
Francisco, on his way to the national capital, bear
ing wlta him his credentials aa United Statea sen
ator from Oregon. He arrived In Washington early
In December. Poor old Buchanan was president and
seceaatoniata were In control of moat departments
of the government. Thla new senator was the
only man In either house of congress from the entire
Pacific coast. Finally Abraham Lincoln came to the
presidency, and the Oregon aenator became at once the

What gave this new man- such a peculiarly Im
portant rankT. Well, as I have explained, he was the
only msn In congress with whom the government
officials could confer relative to affairs in" he
remote field that was known to be In danger. Then
Mr. Lincoln knew the man better than he knew
almoat any other man In public life. They had
grown up together In Illinois. , For nearly ten yeara
they served together In the legislature. They had
practiced law In the same courts. They enlisted
together In the Indian war. So they- Jctuvw and
trueted each other.
The altuatlon on the coaat was bad .when the
Oregon senator loft there, tn November, and It
grew worse. The senator waa kept Informed by
loyal men out there. Cornelius Cole, later a United
States senator atlll living, full Of years and honors
and Jamea McClatchy. a pioneer editor, whoae nam
revives memories of distinction and patriotism, sont
word of extremely alarming work among the seces
sionists. The moment Mr. Lincoln got back to the
White House from the Inaugural ceremonies the
Oregon senator Informed him of the distant peril
and urged immediate action to recover national con
trol. One night the San Francleco secessionists were
In secret council. leading men were. tiealRnated to
aee General Johnston the following day and endeavor
to arrange for hla "neutrality" If they should seise
the forts and the navy 'yard. But while the con
sptratora were tn session a steamer arrived from
Panama with passengers from the Statea. Among
them was a loyal brigadier-general of the regular
army, sent out upon the urgency of the Oregon
senator. The general did not go to a hotel and
to bed. He was one of those soldiers who act and
win while the enemy Is getting ready. He drove dl.
rectly from the wharf to army headquarters. There
he found General Johnston, to whom he handed
the orders of the president and General Scott placing
him In command. General Johnaton remarked that
he would be ready to turn over the department in
the morning. "No," said hla ucceasor, "I am already
in command and I will take poaaeealon now." Ho

ANOTHER, INDIGNANT WIFE.
Why Mere Thaw One Namer
SOUTH SIDE, July . To the Editor of
The Bee: Replying to the person who
signs his name "Common Sense" I will
ask why the necessity of more than one
name for one city?
If Miss Smith marries Mr. Jones, we
do not still call her Mlaa Smith. When
the city of South Omaha was most will
ingly married to Omaha on the first day
of June, why should she not be called
Omaha Instead of South Omaha, for we
who have lived here the longest wsnt It
chsnged. I never heard of the part of
Omaha south of Farnam wtrwt being
called the south side, and I do not think
this person ever did, either.
In days gone by, when any one would
register as being from South Omaha, peo
ple in other states and cities would turn
up their noses and say, "Oh, you are
from Hog Town or from Stink Town."
So that most ' people of South Omaha
would register a being from Omaha, t
did It myself. We do not want to be dis
tinguished as the "off part of Omaha,
for there are Just as many high-claas
people. In proportion to the number or
Inhabitants on the south aide as there are
In any part of Omaha. "Common Sense"
ought to post up In geography, for Jersey
City la In the state of New Jersey and
Is not a part of New Tork City, and
never will be.
We want to be known as a part of
Omaha and want the name of South
Omaha discontinued as soon aa poaalble,
not only by the papers, but by the Post
office department, and hope that the city
commissioners of Omaha will change the
street numbers north and south aa soon
aa they can reach It, for the sooner it Is
done the sooner South Omaha will be
forgotten, as we are all hoping will be
done In course of time. We do not care
what some old fogies may do back In
Pennsylvania in clinging to some old
name. We want to be known as up-to-date
residents of Omaha, for that Is what
we voted for on June 1, after working
for It for many years past.

OMAHA. July .-To the Editor of The
See: Aa a mother who haa had children
In our high school and still has one
there, I want to protest most emphatic
ally about the Insinuation emanating
from Rev. D. E. Jenklm. member of the
school board, when he was reported to
have intimated at the board meeting the
other night that the high school boys
and girls are roaming and loafing after
school hours all over town, frequenting
picture shows and soda fountain re
sorts, etc. I think that such an accusa
tion la a alur not only on the children
alone, but also on the mothers of the
high school boys and girls as well, and
I, for one, want to tell the good reverend
that I know of the whereabouts of my
children every minute ot the day and
night, and also that the children that I
brought up are not In the habit of
wandering and loafing after school hours.
I also think that the remarks of the
good preacher about the inferiority of
our girls who graduate from our high
school and who are fitting themselves
as teachers In the Omaha Training
school Is unkind and uncalled for. Our
girls will compare favorably with any
of the outsiders who have taken courses
In normal ' or universities and I believe
that our girls even surpass them. They
are our girls the pride of their mothers,
and even a preaeher of the gospel can
not change our opinion. A MOTHER.

THE FARMER.
When the farmer from his window views
his fields thnt ll hclow
And aees the earth In areat brown spots
iHiicnth the meltiiv; enow:
And perhaps a flock of geese k-flyina;
north aaainst the sKy:
Then he knows that spring- Is coming
with Its liit Ira by imd bye.
And he thinks of nil 'the plowlmr. and
the planting, and the chores.
That sprinir hrinns to tiie fnrmcr, and
he Faiintera out of doors
Where the sun U shinlmc cheerful, del
the south wind cro.ms about,
Sort o' ralllnc and -conxing to the green
thlnxs to come out
And they're sure to he a-llntenina. and
will rnon come puahing through
For thotiah springtime trlnffs Its duties.
It brings Ita beauties, too.
Then he feels a sort o' hankering for
the aorrei team and plow;
And to feel the sweat of labor pearllnn
out upon his brow:
And to bear the ci-owb a-cwing In the
woods, to shrill nnd loud;
And to see new life a-tcemlng In every
furrow plowed.
And a-lookln In the future he can see
the wavlnar corn.
And the oats and wheat a-bowlnff In the
breeses of the morn.
With their tone n-hantna heavy with
the dewdropa of tho nlaht,
All apnrklina; In the sunlight with a
aott of heavenlv Hunt.
Then he forgets his giMrled hands all
hardened with the toll;
Forgets his boota warped yellow from
contact with the ul ;
And remembers but the healthy tan upon
hla check end brow :
Remembers that his once cramped soul
is free, untrammelcd, now;
And he glad he Is a farmer, with the
whole world at hia hands.
A-llvlng close to nature with the things
he understands DAVID.
