day in favor Of the plaintiff and awarding

Omaha Primaries.

OMAHA, Neb.. March 27.-The Republican
primaries to select delegates to the county
convention, which will be held tomorrow
afternoon, were opened at noon. AS the
. primaries in this case amount to nothing
more than a ratification Of states previously
agreed to- there was very light vote. There
is absolutely no contest except in the Second
ward, where one man who did not get on
the slate is endeavoring to get a place on the
delegation. Th5s is the only deviation from
the general monotony of the proceedings.
Some of the Mckinley leaders were in evi-
dence at the various voting places during the
afternoon, but no contestants were in
sight they contented themselves with merely
sizing up the situation This is the first
substantial evidence that the Manderson-Mc-
Kinley compromise Is effected.

HE WAS A "KID."

Minnesota lays claim to having had
the youngest regimental officer during
the war. His name Is George w. Morey,
and he lives in Minneapolis. In 1850
there was an looking boy,
who enlisted in the Eighth Wisconsin
battery, only to be followed by his
mother, who told the captain that the
lad was but IA years of age and that
she needed him at home. The captain
looked at the kid" complied with the
mothers request, and the future soldier
soon felt the weight Of the time-honor-
ed slipper.
Not discouraged, however, by this
allopathic dose Of homemade medt-
cine for the war fever. the lad ran
away again and went into the
Eighteenth Wisconsin infantry. AT
Shiloh he was wounded and sent home,
presumably to die. His father met
him at Chicago and took him to Du
Quoin, in Southern Illinois. But the
vigorous constitution Of the boy pulled
him through. and shortly after his con-
valescence he was to be found in the
Sixth Illinois cavalry. where he earned
promotion to the rank Of sergeant
major when but seventeen years, one
month and two weeks old. 1t may be
safely stated that boys Of seventeen
are not promoted to such positions
unless there are cogent reasons fol-
such promotion.

On the heights beside the river,

In her beauty, calm and queenly,
Waits our beautiful Saint Paul,
Waits with smiles Of summer sunshine,
Waits with outstretched hands of greeting,
Waits to echo royal welcomes
From the cottage and the hall.

And across our LIES horizon
Twilight shadows soon will fall.

Let US march once more together;
Glowing hearts and cheerful camp-drea
Bid you welcome to st. PAUL."

We who kept your homes and children,
Sang our lullabies with weeping
Saddened memories we recall;
Yet for sake of those who came not,
Came not though our hearts we're breaking,
Welcome, We who fought beside them,
To the nresides Of st. Paul.
Sing the children: 30, We hASSes.
Stories Of your patient suffering,
Stories Of your deeds Of daring,
All cur youthful hearts enthrall;
Welcome to our brave old veterans,
Welcome ye whose loyal presence
Crowns with honor our ST. Paul"
Shout the people: s'welcomei welcomed
Ring the bells from every steeple,
