This may assist in throwing some light
upon the recognition accorded the regi-
ment by the governor and the gentleman
Bryan who is now at the head of the
third Nebraska. The officers of the
artillery regiment thought it but fitting
that they should tender banquet to
Captain Dudley, their prospective colo
mel, who was then in the city. Mr.. Bryan,
Governor Holcomb, Adjutant. general
Barry, Colonel Stotsenburg and Briga-
dier. general Bills, were guests Of the
regiment on this occasion. Mr.. Bryan
was invited to act as toastmaster. In
the presence of forty assembled guests
he drank to the health of the regiment,
and in felicitous speech brought joy
to the young aspirants for military
honors by saying, while haven't as
much influence with the present admin
istration as had hoped to have, I will
do what can for you Those present
could only place one construction upon
this remark and others made voluntarily
by the same gentleman, and that was
that his friendship for the regiment and
his interest in it's success were sincere.
Why should they have been so unkind,
so uncharitable, to fellow citizen, as to
harbor the thought for moment that
he was not sincere and that he was not
truly anxious for the recognition of their
organization?
"Although majority of the officers
of the regiment differed with Mr.. Bryan

ship was attested by the fact that they
not only invited him to be present at their
banquet, but also agreed to tender him
the lieutenant colonelcy of the regiment,
which they did about week later. Mr..
Bryan, in response to the request that he
accept the lieutenant colonelcy, stated
that he did not like heavy artillery,
because of the terrific noise which was
apt to produce deafness. 1t was ex-
planned to him that the regiment was
essentially infantry and that there was
every reason to believe that if called it
would be for that branch of the service.
He then said that if he went as infantry
he would just as leave be colonel as
lieutenant. colonel, and he was going to
organize regiment of his own.

BRYAN THE
SOLDIER.

BRYAN THE -
cOInIrp said about Mr.
Bryan s resigna-
ton from the army when his regiment
was ordered to depart from the peaceful
environment of the camp of instruction
at Jacksonville, to undergo the hard
ships of real soldiers in hostile Cuban
territory. The hero of many bloodless
campaigns before the camera has been
caustically criticised for deserting his
command upon the eve of their en-
barkation for the enemy's country
Many, who were thoroughly charmed
and completely awed by that fearless
courage and heroic bravery character
istic of his invasion of "the enemy's"
country in 1896, were painfully sur
prised and inconsolably grieved at his
reluctance in 1898. Those, however,
who were familiar with the manner in
which Bryan got in the army were not
surprised at the way he got out.
THE CONSERVATIVE will relate briefly
the beginnings of Mr.. Bryan's military
career, the manner
so,diar in which he organ
lied his regiment,
the third Nebraska. Mr.. Bryan was no
ordinary soldier. He did not enlist in
the usual manner. 1t required a special
dispensation on the part of populist
executive to enable this newly incubated
opponent of militarism to become part
of Uncle Sans fighting force. Before
Mr.. Bryan was seized with this over
powering impulse to defend his coun-
try's honor, number of his fellow citi-
zens had goue quietly to work and,
under the advice and direction of Gov
ernor Holcomb, organized a regiment.
1t was composed of the very flower of
the young manhood of the state, the
boys who had put in years of patient
toll acquiring thorough military as
we'll as academic training, at the mill
tary department of our state university.
This regiment was accepted by the
governor, rendered to the war depart
ment and promised recognition, if
additional men were needed from
Nebraska 1t was known as the heavy
artillery regiment.
Unhappily for the triumph of the
military ambitions of these young men,
military des-
potism prevailed
in Nebraska at that time. The despot
was Bryan. Gear Bryan, that he might
organize regiment, become colonel,
and reward fawning friends, compelled
the governor to set aside this regiment

How TO Reheat Food.

Many dishes which, with little
care, would be as good the second day
as when freshly cooked, are spoiled
by being put into the oven-regardless
of its temperature-and left to get hot
A meat pie which has been cut will
not dry up if reheated thus: Add a
small quantity of brown stock to the
meat wrap the pile in buttered paper,
and put it into moderately hot oven
until it is ready to serve. Wipe the
dish and place pie dish collar round
it before sending it to the table. a
plain milk pudding should have little
boiling milk in which a small lump Of
butter has been dissolved added to the
rice, etc.; piece Of buttered paper
should be tied over the top and the
dish containing it should be placed
in the oven in tin of hot water.
Minces, hashes, stews or fricasse
should be heated by placing the sauce.

pan and surrounding it with hot water;
piece of creased paper should be put

saucepan only should be used. To
reheat leg Of roast mutton without
cutting it up, brush the meat all over
with warm dripping, including the
part which has been cut, then fill in
the space with boiled rice which has
been passed through potato masher
or some rather moist mashed potato,
envelop the meat in creased paper and
set the tin containing the mutton
across a larger tin of boiling water in

boiled meats, buildings and anything
which will be improved by a little
more moisture.

cases that ever came under the observation
of the local authorities.
The LURES are considered poor and re-

their two-year old son Morris in his cradle
sound asleep. They returned in a half
hour, but the cradle was empty and the
child gone.
Mrs. Lurie has always maintained the
child was stolen. but her belief was not
generally accepted, as there was no appa-
rent object in kidnapping the child Of
poor parents. However, the police in
Pittsburg, Cleveland, and other cities made
a strenuous effort to locate the boy, but
were never able to obtain a single clew.
on Friday Mrs. Lurie learned through a
Jewish newspaper that boy answering
the description OF her son was in the Gus
tody OF two men at Punx5utawney and she
left for that city at once. Yesterday she
notified her husband that she had identi-
fed the boy AZ their son. The men claimed
they did not know he had been stolen and
