The fifth division was the one the people
were waiting for and the one which was
greeted with a pandemonium of yells, bells.

and were cheered by the crowd. But their
cheer was only a starter for the one that
broke loose when the First regiment Itself,
close behind them, came into the open space
and stopped, the officers saluting the stand.
The enthusiastic demonstration which had
followed the regiment all along the streets
from the depot seemed to be summed up In
the volumes Of sound that rolled down the
packed slopes OF the court house grounds
and were caught up and echoed by the sea Of
people in the street and announced that
the career OF the First regiment was coming
to a glorious close.

Leave for the Front.

The Omaha companies left for Camp Alvin
Saunders at Lincoln April 81. They left
Camp Saunders on their way to Manila on
May 16. which they reached July II. The
boys smelfed their first powder in a skirmish
with the Spaniards, who were still en-
trenched in Manila, and then they endured
the monotony of camp life until the fighting
with the Filipinos began early in the fol-
lowing February. In the meantime Colonel
Bratt had been succeeded by Colonel Stotsen-
burg, who was killed in the fight near
Quingua, April %, almost on the ami
versary OF the departure of Company l. from
Omaha. Until the beginning of May the
regiment was almost constantly on the firing
line and participated with honor in every
engagement. May A 1t asked to be tempo
rarily relieved from duty and two days later
the order was issued. To this date the regi-
ment had lost sixty-six men killed and POP
wounded.
The start on the homeward journey was
made from Manila July l and the regiment
reached San Francisco July "a. Here it was
rendered a magnificent reception by the
people OF San Francisco and the boys re-
NAMED in camp at the Preside until they
were mustered out last Wednesday.

STORY OF THE FIGHTING FIRST

of Inst Year, Reaching Manila
July II.

The Homecoming of Nebraska's soldier
boys recalls the April day, just a little over
a year ago, when they said goodby to home
and friends and marched through the streets
between the cheering crowd and futtering
flags to take the train for Lincoln, where they
were to be formally mustered into the serv-
ice of Uncle Sam. The departure of the
Omaha Guards and the Thurston Rifles,
Omaha's crack military organizations, was
one OF the most inspiring events that has
occurred in the history of the city. The
war spirit was %throbbing strong and for days
the people had been waiting for the call that
would take the Omaha boys from the parade
ground to the battlefield. There was only
twenty-four hours notice of the departure,
but in that short interval a demonstration
was organized that fully reflected the patri.
otto spirit of the people and sent the boys
away with swelling hearts and happy memo

S~poecnnaKlnB, commemorative or the return
of the First Nebraska regiment, but the boys
seemed to have become tired of speeches
and only twenty-five of them came into the
auditorium. These were invited to take
seats in the center Of the hall just In front
of the stage.
The opening number on the program was
Cotton Blossoms" by the Bellstedt band,
the piece drifting off into the Star Span
gled Banner" before is closed. This brought
the audience to its feet and there was a long
round of applause. President Miller then
in a few words apologiZed for the disorder
into which the committee had been thrown
by the failure of the railroads to get the
troops home in time. In introducing Gov
ernor Poynter he made mention of the work
that had been done in getting the regiment
home, and also spoke of the great gallantry
OF the Nebraska boys.
Governor Poynter responded in a hve-min-
ute speech, in which he told of his efforts
to get the special train. When he ceased
speaking there were calls for d. u. Thomp-
son, who was seen TO be occupying a seat
in the east part of the auditorium. Mr.
Thompson stood up and bowed his appreeia-
ton of the compliment, and the soldier boys
responded to this with three cheers and a
tiger This closed the speechmaking and
the governor with his party Immediately left
the hall.
The musical program for the afternoon had
been prepared by Bellstedt with a view OF
furnishing entertainment to the audience,
being made up of characteristic pieces and
comic selections, with a number or two Of
the more solid sort. The Auditorium was
well filled during the entire program and
nearly every number received an encore,
with the usual responses. The soldier
boys who failed to attend the concert missed
a great treat.
Later in the afternoon the Indian band
gave a concert at the Government building
which was listened to by a big crowd.
