All Nebraska takes special pride In the
fact that Nebraska's contribution to the ma

acquitted themselves with distinction, cCnh-
Earring favorably with the troops, both reg

of the country. That almost every part
of the state Is represented in the makeup
OF the First Nebraska regiment gives the
whole state a right to share In the glory
arising from having furnished the best
fighting regiment of volunteers produced
by the war.
Responding to the interest in the return
ing Nebraska troops a large part OF the
space in this issue of The Bee is devoted to
pictures representing different phases or
the war in which they played a principal
role, and these will be supplemented in sue
ceeding numbers by reproducing many ad-
ditional photographs, that, taken alto

The age of John Henry MacCracken, the
youngest college president on the continent,
is only % years and 9 months, as. appears
from the freshman naturalization book of
New York university.
According to this book he entered col
lege in June, 1890, at the age of IA, when
ne won the entrance prize of $50 by COM
petltivc examination. He carried off every
other prize open to his class. Among them
the James Gordon Bennett prize Of $50 for
the best essay on the interstate railway COM
mission. and the Ogden Butler fellowship of
5000 for the best work in philosophy and
the classics.
His class awarded him the presidency for
the senior year, which required him on
Founders day, 1894. to lay the first stone
at University Heights. This stone was car
ried by his class In a tally-ho coach from
the walls of the old building at Washing
ton square and placed under the gymnasium,
where 1t is now.
The young president returns from Ger

The new building in.o which the South
oihahd ItSloiitt mas just DeeU removed Is
located at the northwest corner of Twenty
fourth and M streets upon a tract of ground
large enough to show off the handsome
structure to good advantage. Congress ap-
propriated 800, 900 for the purchase of a
site and the erection of a building, which
Will be completed with the amount of money
originally appropriated. The site cost $15,
243. 63, and the balance has been expended
upon the building, which is construc. ed of
sandstone, buff colored brick and terra
eta. On March 10, 1898, the contract for
the erection of the building was let to c. w.
Gindele g. Co. of Chicago. and on May l.,
1898, active work commenced. On July 81,
1899, the postoffce was removed from the
Eggers A. Book block to its permanent loca-
tion.
The building has a frontage on Twenty
fourth steet of ninety feet and on M street
of seventy feet, thus giving plenty of room
for the handling of the rapidly increasing
business In South Omaha. From the curb
line to the top of the balustrade is forty
seven feet and the golden ball at the top of
the flag staff is seventy-eight feet above the
sidewalk. All of the first floor is devoted TO
the postal department, while the second
floor will be used by the Bureau of Animal
Industry. The lobby, floored and wainscoted
with marble, is forty eight feet in length and
twelve feet In width. At the north end of
the fobby Is the money order and registry
departments, and at the south end an
ornamental vestibule. A work room behind
the screen, 4Sx46 feet, gives plenty of room
for the handling of mail matter, while
alcoves on the north and south ends of this
room add considerable floor space.
Nineteen feet is the height of the first
story, while the second story is twelve feet.
This second floor. to be used by the Bureau
of Animal Industry, has been cut uD into
eight rooms or an average size of lSx22 feet.

Chief Inspector Don c. Aver will have his
office in the south room right at the head
of the marble stairs, while the microscopical
force will be located in a large room at the
north side of the building All of the floors
on the second floor are of marble, with
wainscoting of the same design as on the
first floor.
A large revolving oak door admits the
public from Twenty-fourth street, while two
heavy oak doors open from the vestibule at
the south of the lobby onto M street. First
class material has been used throughout
and the building has been pronounced one
of the neatest and D%rettiest for it's size of
any postofice building in the country.
On Monday morning, July 81, Uncle Sans
official flag was run to the top of the staff
for the first time and Postmaster Etter took
charge of the building and grounds and other
government property as custodian. The con-
tractors are now putting on the finishing
touches and it is expected that the building
will be formally inspected and turned over
to the government some day this week.

The completion OF the reorganization Of
the Greater America Exposition management
by the choice of Robert S. Wilcox and
Charles M. Wilhelm to fill vacancies on the
executive board and the election of H.. j.,
Penfold to be It's chairman has strengthened
the enterprise In the eyes of all. The signs
of IMMIGRATION are already seen on all sides
In the way of retrenchment and prosecution
OF the work. The personality of the new
members of the executive board should
naturally excite public interest in their por-
traits, here given.
Robert S, Wilcox, recently elected to n
place on the executive committee OF the
Greater America Exposition, was born in
Bath, N. Y, In 1S45. He attended the
schools OF his native town until the out
break OF the civil war. and when in his
sixteenth year he enlisted i'm a New York
regiment and served throughout the war,
At the close OF his enlistment he returned
to Bath and for a time attended a CONNER
cial college at Binghamton.
After the completion of this course he
entered the store of a clothing merchant at
Bath and removed with his employer to
Chicago several years later. In the lat
ter city he subsequently resigned his posi-
tion to enter the employ of Race Bros. as
cashier, a position he held nine years, In
1881 he left that firm and entered the Chi
