the latter year participating in the
Sioux campaign in the action At
Wounded Knee, S. ID. He was at Fotr
Niobrara from 1891 to 1894, and tnen
served for a few months at Fort
Meyer, near Washington, going thence
to the infantry and cavalry school at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan, where he was
graduated with distinguished honors.
Colonel Stotsenberg then served with
his regiment at Fort Leavenworth;
Kan, until December, 1897, and from
that time until the following April was
professor Of military science and tao
tics at the University of Nebraska.
He was mustered in as major OF the

cured the passage of a resolution OF
censure against him through the Ne
braska legislature. Once they became
engaged in actual warfare, however,
the merits of his course became SO APP
parent that in response to a very
strong demand from the people Of the
state and the soldiers themselves, the
resolution Of censure by "A formal vote
was eXpunged from the Legislative
records.
The First Nebraska went to Manila
in charge of Colonel Bratt, and under
his command took part in the oper-
atoms south Of Manila against Malate
fort and the attack and capture OF
Manila or Angst -. In the selection
of officers for civic positions in the or
ganization Of n government for the city
Lieutenant Colonel Cotton, Of the First
Nebraska, was made deputy collector
OF the port. Later Colonel Bratt be-
came i'll and was condemned by "A
medical board. General Otis ordered
him home, and then, as he did not care
to take Cotton out Of the custom
house, where he was doing excellent
work, il was decided to select some
other officer for the command of the
regiment. The choice fell upon Stots-
enberg, of the Sixth cavalry, and he
was named.
At first there was strong opposition
from within the command, many of
the other officers believing that those
in the regular line should be pro-
NOTED, but that was soon overcome.
Colonel ~Stotsenberg endeared himself
to every officer and man in the regi-
ment, and brought the command to q
high state of efficiency.

HOSES AWFUL CRIME.
Murdered a Farmer and Outraged
His Wife.

Atlanta, Ga, April 25.-Thc Consti-
tuition says:
THE terrible eXpiation which Sam
| Hose was forced to pay for his crime
will arouse a flood of discussion car
| ried on by those who know the facts
on one side and by those who don't
care for facts on the other.
"But while the form of this Grim
inal's punishment cannot be upheld,
let those who are disposed to criticise
1t look into the facts-and by these
facts temper the judgment they may
render.
AN unassuming, industrious and
hardworking farmer, after his days
toll, sat at his evening meal. Around
him sat wife and children, happy in
the presence of the man who was full
dlling to them every duty imposed by
nature. At peace with the world, serv-
ing God and loyal to humanity, they
looked forward to the coming day.
"Noiselessly the murderer, with up
lifted axe, advanced from the real and
sank it to the hilt in the brain of the
un~suspecting victim.
Tearing the child from the moth
rr's breast he flung it into the pool of
blood oozing from its fathers wound.
Then began the elimination which
has dethroned the reason of the people
Of western Georgia during the past
week. AS critics will howl about the
lynching the Constitution will be par
doned for stating the plain facts.
THE wife was seized, choked,
thrown upon the floor, where her cloth
ing lay in the blood Of her husband,
and ravished!
Remember the facts! Remember
the dark night in the country home!
Remember the slain husband, and,
above all, remember that shocking
degradation which was inflicted by the
black beast, his victim swimming in
her husbands blood as the brute held
her 10 the floor!
keep the facts in mind!
when the picture is painted of the
ravisher in flames, go back and view
that darker picture of Mrs. Crawford
outraged in the blood of her murdered
husband!"
