republican patriotism and the strong points
brought out were responded to by the au.
ditor5 with prolonged applause, indicating
that republicanism in the Sixth ward is
at its height this fall Judge Slabaugh
touched upon the national issues, paying
particular attention to the Philippine ques-
tion and calling to mind the fallacles of tho
doctrine presented by Bryan in his campaign
of 1896, Mr.. Baldrige laid stress upon ths
fact that the eyes of the entire country
are riveted upon the states OF Ohio and
Nebraska this fall He urged the repub-
iicans to enter into the campaign with an
active interest and assist in rolling I'D q
majority which will leave no doubt in the
minds of the outside public as to the ratif-

the people OF Nebraska. The Philippine

publicans, but at present there is no other
course open to the United States than to

MIR. Bronze mentioned the unqualihed
prosperity which has spread over all OF Me-
braska. He spoke OF making a trip into
the interior OF the state a few days ago
and there found that the farmers were SO
BUSY with their work and the scarcity OF
hahds was 30 great that political meetings
OF all parties are being neglected. Theses
men, he said, will take time to vote, how
ever, for a continuance OF the administration
which has brought about the greatest degres
OF prosperity ever enjoyed by Nebraska.
Justice Baldwin spoke in a general way
upon the state and county tickets and urged
the republicans TO vote the entire ticket,
not overlooking the six justices of the
peace.

THE RECITAL.
An ceptionally Fine Program.

The recital given by the music depart
ment in College chapel last Saturday
afternoon called out "a good-sized num-
Der of appreciative listeners whose an
ticipations of pleasure were not dis
appointed. About fifteen of the pupils
took part, most of whom had never be-
fore appeared in public in this capacity
and the outcome was certainly very
creditable to all. The piano work gave
abundant evidence of close and intelli-
gent study on the part of the pupils and
careful training on the part OF the
teachers. The essentials of good per-
Torrance were not lacking as regards
touch, quality of tone and intelligent in
depreciation.
Miss Wagner, Mr.. Beckner and Mr..
Milliken are to be congratulated upon
the excellent showing made by their
pupils and upon the bright prospects
OF the department of music.
Such recitals have distinct educative
value and we trust that they will be
made prominent feature of the depart
ment in the future. The names of those
who took part in the recital are as fol
lows:
Piano: Misses Hanson, Vosburg,
Messenger, Ward, Woodward.
Voice: Misses Spencer, Patterson,
Bishop, and Messrs. Bagley, Beckner,
Bradfield, Foote.
Violin: Miss Spencer, Masters Sharp,
Hayt, Tinker, Lathrop, Vermeulen.
The ensemble class, which has been
under instruction for only a short time,
played with degree of spirit and pre-
cision that did credit to their instructors
and the individual performers on the
violin played with smoothness and ex
preston. The vocallsts sang with
feeling and showed excellent training
in the handling of their voices.

ROBERTS.-At his home in Elwel Thursday
evening, May %, 1899, OF pneumonia, Henry
&. Roberts, aged .. years, 10 months and y
days,
Henry Clay Roberts was born in York,
Livingston county, New York, July 18th,
1912. When but three years old, his
parents moved to Wilson, Niagara coun-
ty, here his boyhood years were passed
like those of other farmers boys, at
tending school, and assisting with the
farm labor.
When the civil war broke out, he re-
sponded to his country's call for yolun-
teers, and was enrolled Sept. 1st, 1862,
in Co. O., l5lst Reg, New York Volun-
teers and served until the close of the
war, when he was mustered out.
In the year 1867, he came with his
parents TO Michigan and settled on a
farm in Watertown, Clinton county.
In 1873 he was married to Amanda
Clark of which union three children
were born, two of whom are living,
Charles and Sheridan, little Maud hav-
ing passed over the river in early child
hood. In 1883 he came to Elm Hall
Gratiot county, and later to Elwell
where he lived until his death from an
attack of bronchitis resulting in pneu-
monia. de was great sufferer during
his illness of one short week, when the
end came Thursday evening and he
passed peacefully away. Besides his
wife and children, the deceased leaves
two sis tiers, Mrs. Carrie A. Brown of
Alma and Mrs. A. NJ. Foote Of William
ston, to mourn their loss. He was a
kind husband and father, and gen
erous hearted neighbol. 1t seemed
but fitting that at the time Of the beau
tiful Memorial service, the last sad rites
should be performed over our brother,
comrade and friend.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. II. E. Wylie under the auspices
of Col Ely Post of Elm Hall, and the U.
V. L. of Elwell of which he was long
and honored member. He was laid to
rest in the Elm Hall cemetery,
