LINCOLN, Neb.. June Sat a secret meeting
In the office Of Gov. Holcomb last niEht,lAt
which were present w. J. Bryan, Gen. Victor
Vlfauain and several officers of Company
A. Third Regiment, In which Mr.. Bryan
is q private, Gov. Holcomb appointed Mr.. Bryan
Colonel of the regiment. Mr.. Vifquain Lieuten.
antColonol, and DIR. y. j. Mercer OF Omaha
Surgeon, with the rank Of Major.
This action Is contrary 10 the law of the State,
which provides for the election by the regiment,
prior to confirmation by the Governor, of Its
ranking officers. Gov. Holoomb. as he handed
the commissions to the three new officers,
said he expected there would be objections. but
that tho plan OF appointing officers without
waiting for tho officers and mon OF the regi.
mont to select them by ballot would relieve him
OF the embarrassment of going counter to the
choice of the regiment.
IT will also relieve members of the regiment
OF any embarrassment that might follow should
they select some one the Governor does not
want,

lessons were taught. A small stone church was
built in 1851 at Vroom street and Bergen ave-
nue. and was occupied for ninety-two years. A
new building was erected In 1878 and remained
In service until 1912, when tho present edihce
was dedicated. The church was without n
pastor for nearly a century. The first pastor
was the Rev. William Jackson, who was in.

In 1881 the school had 100 scholars, a Bible

Do Not Give Up in De-
spair-There is Hope!

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those SO unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con-
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are alb
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
we'll consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
1t is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns, land is
always more virulent than before.
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeons
knife because the blood can not be cut
array.
"Several years ago my wife had an
ulcer on her tongue, which, though an
noying, was not regarded seriously at
first. 1t refused to heal and began to
grow, giving her much pain. The doc
tors treated it for quite a while but
