John Siegfried, sent here from Anoka
county, died at the hospital Friday
morning from consumption. Burial
services were held in the chapel by
Chaplain Albert, assisted by Rev. A. J.
D. Haupt of st. Paul. The mother of
the dead man was present.
Death is always sad, but here it seems
even more so. The services in the
chapel are always fully attended, and
yet somehow we feel that our presence
does no honor to the dead. We don't
even seem to pity him, and yet if vol
unteers were called for to take his
place, there would be no lack of re-
sponses. 1t is the custom of papers
when subscriber dies to give him a
good letter of recommendation to that
bourne whence no traveller returneth.
Yet, what can we say? Only that He
whossearches hearts will know all the
signs and heartburnings, all the vain
wishes and hopes of the men who die
likeirats in trap. We hope and trust
that He measures not with the meas
ure which divides offenses into degrees
and fixes not penalties by guess. We
hope that the great mercy of the Father
who gave us all being will shift the
future so that the poor and ignorant
who have borne heavy burdens shall be
eased and dealt leniently with in the
hereafter. The dying sigh for Glenn
ency we are sure will not be coldly
listened to, and the store of mercy at
the court on high is ever inexhaust-
ible.

Origin or the Bedbu4.

Doubtless there are many miserable
people In the world who have asked
themselves, as well as others where
that little torment. the bedbug. comes
from. Long ago this insect was known
to come from wood. but why it should
contine itself to the wooden parts Of
beds and the framework of old houses
was somewhat of mystery. One day
a scientist found a bedbug in the stom-
ach of woodpecker, which he was
engaged In dissecting. Pursuing his
Investigations further he found that
bedbugs are plentiful on pine trees.
Pine cones are often infested with
them, and 1t is now the accepted belief
that 1t is from the pine tree that the
bedbug gets its origin. 1t should In
terest good many people to know this,
though it will not make close acquaint-
ance with the parasite any more agree

A MESSAGE.

To the men who fought with Decatur,
To the men who with Lawrence died.
To the men who fell in that blazing hell
OF Mobile by Farragut's side:
Take to them our message, stern and
plain,
Tell them the guns are cast loose, again,
Men of the Maine!
This to the men of the ships of oak.
From the men of the ships of steel,
To the hearts that broke mid the flame
and smoke,
From the living hearts that feel.
There is no lnzzen. nor fore, nor main,
Men of the Maine.
Not against foes of our own true blood,
Nor kin across the sea,
Eut straight in the face Of a stranger
Who never. like you, We're free
Tell them It's thus that our guns we train.
And the sights are lined, and the strings
astrain,
Men of the Maine.
Take them these tidings, We who sleep
Meath the murky waves by the Cuban
town.
The blow in the night but began the fight
Which ends when the Spanish flag
comes down.
And our guns shall thunder their old re-
frain,
Toling your knell from hereto Spain
Men of the Maine!

GREETING THE VOLUNTEERS.
san FrancfScO's Enthusiasttc We'll
come to the Citizen Soldiers.

San Francisco, May 2l.--Over 5000 vol.
unteers arrived this morning from east
an states. All night long trains bearing
the troops were rushed into Oakland. the
last section arriving about this morning.
When the men arrived inside of the
bay they were taken in charge by the la
dies of the Red Cross society. who had
been up all night preparing refreshments
for them. Each man was served with
sandwiches and coffee and presented with
California rose. The men were over
whemed with kindness and gave cheer
upon cheer for the society.
As they marched up Market street on
their way to their camping grounds, they
were given reception by thousands of
people who lined the sidewalks. Flags
were waved and as they passed the street
corners the soldiers were showered with
flowers.
There are now 1000 of Uncle Sans
men now quartered in the city and about
800 more are scheduled to arrive next
week
The Nebraska volunteers are fortunate
in that they brought 10 days rations.
Hence there has been no opportunity for
complaint in the serving of meals at
proper hours. The men assigned to duty
in the cooks department were not forced
to forage for combustibles and in this
respect the Nebnskans have Jared better
than most of the volunteers when they
first arrived.

Gladstone had been unconscious prac-

to recognize for a moment some of the
watchers about. him. Certainly he did
recognize his wife who sat beside him all
day except when the physician prevailed
upon her to rest. She tenderly clasped
her husbands hand as she watched him.
Apparently he slept Il good deal; occa
sionally he uttered few words in an in
coherent dremy way--words which those
who were watching were unable to catch.
Their only consolation was that he was
not suffering pain. No narcotics were adj
mnistered.
Throughout the whole kingdom every
public gathering added its words of grief
to the volume of national mourning
clearly voiced in the telegram from the
