the following clipping from the

nessee, will show.
military Instructor Frank w.

University, who was recently
promoted by act of congress from
major to the rank of lieutenant.
colonel, U. S. A., has received his
com mission duly signed by Pres
ident Roosevelt and was sworn IN
by Squire E. Falkner last Satur-
day night. Col. Hess has made
many friends during his stay in
Huntingdon, who rejoice with
HIM in the honor thus conferred
by the government. The colonel
is an educated cultured gentle
man and wears his honors with
modesty and yet with becoming
dignity"
Immediately after Fort Sum
ter was attacked, Mr.. Hess, then
mere boy, fired with a spirit of
patriotism, went to Center county
and recruited Company at
Bellefonte, which was mustered
into service with him as Captain,
April 20, 1861, and was known as
Company l. 18th regiment of Pa.
Vols. At the expiration of ser.
vice with this company, he re-
enlisted, and was mustered in as
1st lieutenant, Company 1, Goth
Regiment, Pa. Vols, on the 24th
of Novem Der, 1861. He was pro-
NOTED to captain of Company NJ,
Goth Regiment, on the Sth of July,
1862, and to Major of Battalion,
October 2lst, 1864, and was must
cred out with his regiment, Aug
ust 9TH, 1865. Lieutenant Colonel

years after the Civil War, enter
ing as second lieutenant, and
successfully promoted to first
lieutenant, and then to captain.
He was placed on the retired list

Since putting the above in type
we learn from the Tennessee Re.
publican that among the gradu-
ates who received diplomas in the
scientific department OF the Uni
versity a few days ago was Frank
Fl. Hess son of Col. Frank w.
Hess, and upon the father was
conferred the honorary degree of
Ill. d. So, you see, 1T is not
only Colonel Frank w. Hess but
Doctor, as well.
