ley, Ohio, July 9, 1898; his college
career; study of the law; service in the
army and promotion from captain to
lieutenant colonel; residence at Mon
mouth, Illinois, then his residence at
Fremont, Nebraska, from 1876 to Decem-
Der q, 1898, when he died. As legis-
lator, elected senator in 1879, and chosen
president pro tem., he aided in the good
legislation of the term,-reducing the
rate of interest to be charged on money;
aboliehing the taxation of attorneys fees
as part of the costs of a case. From
1888 to 1887, he served the old Fourth
judicial district as District attorney.
As Judge, he was first appointed by the
governor and then in 1891, and again in
1895, elected to the Office which he held
at the time of his death.
Coming to the bench with long prac-
tice, good education and his observations
and experience, and above all, with abil-
ity and an invincible determination to
carefully weigh all legal matters pre-
sented to him, prominently fitted him
for what he was-one of the ablest and
best judges this state ever had.
No law suit was ever carelessly dis
posed of by him; no question worthy Of
consideration ever escaped his careful
scrutiny, and no litigant was ever treat
ed with disrespect by him. The young
men of this bar as we'll as those of others
in this district, will ever have kindly
feeling for him on account of his atten-
tion to them, and considerate treatment
which so often helps and encourages the
beginner.
He was an incessant worker and always
anxious to do a thing well, and the many
cases appealed to the supreme court, and
the few reversed, only bear evidence of
the logical disposition of the cases he
tried. He never hastily disposed Of any
legal propositions, but reasoned out the
problem presented with almost mathe-
matical precision.
Socially he was the best of men. His
hand was ever ready to grasp that OF his
fellow man. no matter what his position
in life might be. The farmer, mechanic
or professional man were all treated alike
and few public men were better loved by
all classes than was he. In the death of
Judge Marshall the state has lost one of
its best citizens. a man whose life reflect
ed credit and dignity on the bar and
judiciary; a man whose actions and life
emphasize the value of industry, integ-
rity, aggressiveness, and the determine
ton to do his part to elevate the profes-
sion of the law, and the dignity of the
bench by his own example.
The messenger of death came at q
moment when not expected, but like the
hero, he called for no quarter; made no
complaint; found no fault with the in
vincible law of the Supreme Law Giver,
but quietly laid down the burden Of long
years of toll and usefulness, and was
forever gone. Let us hope that those
who follow in his work may ever strive
to emulate his good traits"

OF the finding of gold nugget in West
ern Australia weighing twenty and one
half pounds avoirdupois. The strike

Camp Santa Mesa, near Manila, T. L.
Jan. "a, 1899. aged year, 8 months.
'Dewey" was a game cock, and was
universally known and beloved through.
ont the entire regiment. He was pre-.
sented to the recruits for the regiment
at the time they were mustered into the
service of the United States, at Colum-
bus, Neb., June 20. 1893, with the re-
quest that, should he reach the regiment
in safety, he be presented, in turn, to
Co. X. Mr.. w. j. Winston, of Colum-
bus, was the donor, and be selected the
finest bird from his flock of gamesters,
noted over the state of Nebraska, not
only for fighting qualities, but for beau
tiful plumage as well.
"Dewey" had accompanied the re-
cruits, known as Provisional Co. C,
through all their numerous trials and
tribulations, only once becoming suffi-
ciently sick to be marked "off duty" !"
and that was on the transport Arizona,
two days out of San Francisco. But he
was game to the core, and survived the
siege, coming out perhaps better than
many enlisted men. While the recruits
were encamped at Honolulu, Dewey rap
idly picked up the flesh and plumage
he had lost on the voyage across the
Pacific, and was soon in fighting trim.
He Immediately commenced looking for
trouble and was soon the cock of the
island. He never met defeat.
"Dewey's" mourners consist not only
of the men of the regiment, for he was
the proud and happy husband of Mrs.
Dewey" and family of ten little chicks
the cutest ever seen, who were lately
ushered into the world by Mr.. and Mrs.
Dewey's ever watchful care. They will
mourn his loss and miss his fatherly
no matter how we'll attended
and sympathized with by sorrowing
comrades.
The funeral was held in the company
street, Immediately after guard mount.
N. Guy Livingstone, of Co. NJ, former
of provisional Co. c. delivered
an appropriate eulogy at the grave. The
procession was headed by the regimen
tai band, and with mufiled drums and
solemn tread, our beloved mascot and
was carried to his last earthly
resting place. He was buried near the
edge Of the drill ground and q pretty
green mound now marks the spot where
his lifeless body lies.
Had dewey" survived the tropical
climate, and been taken to the states, as
on our return, he would cer-
tainly have been q remarkable bird. He
was the only feathered mascot success
full enough to elude the sharp eyes Of
the boat quartermaster, and was taken
aboard in q box marked "Cured meat"
Even tho regimental mascot, the eagle
"Bryan,"-was left behind in San Fran

THE NEBRASKA CAMP.

The First Nebraska U. s. Vol. Inf.
Regiment is camped near Santa Mesa on
m" "Loeds hill" about 2115 miles from
the city. A visitor to the camp a few
days ago was pleasantly surprised at the
neatness, cleanliness and perfect order
that exists. The regiment is command
ed by thorough, pains-taking regular
army officer, than whom a better disci-
plinarian can hardly he found. He has
corps of officers assisting him of which
he may well be proud. The personel of
the rank and file must be very select.
The Nebraska boys are all soldiers, a
fine appearing, we'll drilled body. They
are on an average feet 9 inches high.
healthy, good looking, we'll fed, and
"mnifOrmed' in the full sense of the
word.
The painstaking, active, endless work
Of the commanding officer permeates
and animates the whole. The boys live
in clean, bamboc-foored tents, infinitely
and perfectly aligned. The Kitchens are
as clean as mothers at home" and the
way the boys eat, shows that the cook
ing must be good. Regimental drill or
parades are held every evening at 5
o'clock, the band furnishes excellent
music and the many friends of the Ne
braska boys enjoy their maneuvers as
we'll as any concert. The drill can con-
veniently be overlooked from the brow
of the hill, and nice driveway leads
from the camp to the drill ground which
the boys by hard work and out Of regard
for the public have made very inviting.
Not only amusement-loving friends,
recreation seeking business men, but
officers and military men speak highly
OF the fine appearance, the professional
excellence and the varied entertaining
programme of the regiment.
The Nebraska Regimental band ac-
cOmpanied the excursion last Sunday to

nation Of those who had the good for
tune of hearing their fine melodies we'll

many teachers from being present. As
it was, forty Of our enthusiastic teachers
were present from different parts Of the
county.

order. He requested Miss Agnes Car
rig 10 read the minutes, as Miss Coleman
the secretary would not be in the hall
for some time.
The minutes being approved, the pro-
gram, as previously announced, was
carried out, to the credit of those who
participated. Those not responding
were Miss Lille Deegan, L. w. Fike and
r. NJ. Campbell. Their places on the
program were occupied by teachers
present, who received applause for the
original thoughts expressed.
The Humphrey male quartette favored
the teachers with many selections. Res
olutions were passed thanking the citi-
zens and quartette for courtesies shown.
Supt Leavy thanked the teachers for
professional interest taken; said this
would be the last meeting until insti-
tute, that circulars announcing that
event would appear later. Miss Cole
man then read names OF teachers pres
ent, after which the meeting adjourned.
The teachers attending from Colum-
bus were Elizabeth Watkins, Nellie
Lynch, Sarah Hogan, Stella Elliott,
Nellie Browner, Charles Welch, Alice
Watkins and Sup't Leavy. A large del
egation OF teachers attended from Platte
Center.
The requirements Of life these days
are so exacting upon time that with
those who are learning trade or bus
iness, as with those who are attending
the public schools with view OF fitting
themselves for business to be determined
upon later along, it is desirable, indeed
it seems IN absolute necessity that they
shall have all the advantages of method
that can possibly be given them. The
effort to do demonstrates the necessity
to know how to do, and this is tho art
and the science. The orderly and logical
arrangement Of the principles without
illustration of their use constitutes the
science, and it would seem that our CON-
mon geometries are the very ideal Of
text books in all sciences, starting with
definitions, principles, axioms as a foun-
dation, building thereon the superstruct-
ure. We know that sometimes the chief
stumbling block in the way Of learning
is for the pupil to be thoroughly con-
vinced Of the practical benefit of what it
is proposed shall be learned. What
good will this do me? Why need learn
this or that? Settled affirmatively and
decisively, there is then q zest to learn
ing that it never had before A con-
stantly jumping tooth ache demonstrates
the utility OF dentistry; fractured limb
illustrates the beauty Of surgery; every
line Of work there is, evidences the inn
portance of the science of mathematics,
and SO on. The element OF worry should
be got rid Of as soon as possible. and to
do this, textbooks should be plain, con-
else, comprehensive and thoroughly
practical. No book, however, can do for
the beginner what the thorough going
conscientious living teacher can do.
