PAPER READ.
Subject A GREAT NAME.
BY Leon Marshall. l3 years
old. ChecOtah Ind. Ter.

Now thought how can man
have such a great name, when
one man is no more than anOth-
er, see that Thirteen, Fourteen,
and Fifteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United
State make them equal, yet
there are some obtained great
name. Then it must be what
a man makes himself. Then l
say to you boys, let us have
a great name; how can we do
this? let's see! by being promp
to our union, fill our places
when called on, it will fill our
mothers heart with Joy. Now l
say to you young men, if you
want a great name, you can, let
me tell you, when we little boys
fail in our struggle and fall, you
give us your hand and lift us
up and show us the way; You
will not be forgotten. Now l
say to our fathers, lead us as far
as you can, then you will not
be forgotten.
What re-kindles the fire in
ever true hearted citizen of
American? 1t is the name of
George Washington. What re-
kindle the fire in every heart of
the Negroes! 1t is the name of
Abraham Lincoln. When you
talk about what great things he
has done, setting free four and
half million of Negroes, gave
him a great name; yet he is
dead but in the mind of the
people he still lives. Now /
say by chance l heard our pres
ent President address when he
visited my town last fall, in his
address l noted this: "The men
who are holding office now, SO
years to come will have pass
away and you little boys will
will fill our places" How can

follows:
One spring morning, in 1884 little party
OF Omaha business men drove to point
four miles south OF the city of Omaha.
Around them was only the rolling prairie,
and on this prairie they directed an engi-
neer where to lay out certain yards, and
where to set certain stakes indicating the
streets and lots OF a future city. Other
men In Omaha smiled; but last spring was
the twenty-second anniversary Of that
morning drive, and on that bit Of prairie
stands South Omaha, a pretentious city Of
great commercial Importance and It has all
grown out Of the stock yards. Not an an

 George Tonlpkins and Joseph Flan- nery who knew Sullivan we'll declare positively that the remains are those of Sullivan. Identification was pos- sible by the hair, and by some nails, screws and bolts found By the side of the skeleton lay a gun, which indicated suicide beyond a doubt. The murder of Mrs. Sullivan at their ranch just outside of Tucson was not discovered for more than a week
