the ship in a tug, but by this time few be-
sides the %sentries were on deck.
The next morning those who desired to
visit the steamer found that 1t had moved
over to the quarantine island, about five miles
distant, where the inspection was to be held.
A few Nebraskans went over in a lanuch
and were allowed to go on board before s
o'clock, and it was from these that the boys
received their first news from home. 1t
was a happy meeting and the soldiers
thronged around the Nebraska visitors with
anxious inquiries or with messages which
they wanted to send home.
After the inspection was completed and the
vessel was found to be clear from disease,
the Hancock steamed toward the city. At
This point every man was on deck. The
Nebraska and Utah bands alternated in play
ing patriotic airs and the people on vessels
starting to sea mingled their cheers with
the strains of Home Sweet Home" and
Marching Through Georgia." On the way
into the harbor the Hancock passed two
river steamers, three transpacific grey
hounds just from the Orient and several ex-
cursion boats loaded with passengers. From
all these came noisy salutes and enthusi-
astic cheers, which were answered back by
the happy Nebraska boys. There was also
a demonstration by the jackies crowded for
ward on the battleship Iowa, which lay at
anchor close in. Welcoming whistles were
blown by every steamer in the harbor, and
a strong chorus came back from the city,
where the factory whistles were adding to
> the din.
A stop was made about a quarter of a
mile out In the bay, while a tug came off
from the shore to bring the big steamer in.
1t was here that another party of Nebras-
kans came on board, having been brought cut
by Mayor Phelan in the harbor tug, Gov
ernor Irwin" The mail for the boys, which
had been accommodating so long in San Fran
cisco, was also put on board, and occupied
the attention of the soldiers for the next
hour.
1t was near the noon hour when the
Hancock slipped into the government dock.
On the wharf the crowd was so dense as
to keep the civil and military authorities
busy clearing the way, while up along the
adjacent streets the people were thronged,
anxious to witness the landing Of the IA
tons heroes.
!, A few people from the shore were al
lowed to go on board, the first courtesy
being extended to those who had relatives
among the soldiers. A limited few of the
soldiers were given shore leave, while still
others slipped away unobserved and once
more stretched their legs on solid ground.

How Colonel
Stotsenberg Died

With the boys of the First Nebraska back
in Gods country and about to doff the
they have worn so worthily, 1t Is
fitting to recall the circumstances surrounds
ing of the death of the commander of the
regiment, Colonel Stotsenberg, who died as
q soldier would choose to die-On the battle
field at the head of his men. Frederick
Palmer, correspondent Of Golfers Weekly
at Manila. tells about it as follows:
9TH Fourth was fairly In the mess when
Colonel Stotsenberg of the Nebraskans
waved a goodbye to his wife from the win
dow of the morning train which left Manila
at $3.50 O'Clock for Malolos. He arrived at
Malolcs at H.. jumped on a horse and hur-
ried out to the regiment, which he found
lying out in the open under a heavy fire.
The Filipinos were showing the pluck which
characterizes them when their spirits are
high. They took good aim at our men, de-
spite the heavy answering fire. Either the
Nebraskans must retreat or go forward.
They could not lie still with every minute
bringing the call for a doctor. Standing
erect Stotsenberg surveyed the field for a
minute and then gave the order to charge.
Every man who had not fallen from a wound
or from heat prcstration sprang forward,
guiding ON him
THE privates will tell you now that they
saw him fall or that they heard some one
say the colonel was hit, and then that they

gratifying. We were enabled to send
out larger and better filed boxes than
at any previous time.
1t Is not our intention to give any
sale OF entertainment before the new
year. We have not very much money
on hand, and as there is a constant de-
mand for Il charity work, and much
wood to furnish during the winter, we
cannot deplete treasury for this
purpose. Shingling has been done re-

sent to several. From all charitably
inclined, We solicit through the daily
press any donations Of groceries, cloth
