Our lamented friend and former chancel-
lor of this university had in him the making
of a leader of men, and he would have led in
whatever field he might have chosen for his
life work. DR.. Garfield was the son of a
clergyman, and had he followed in the foot
powerful man in the pulpit and an uplifting
factor in religious work. When he gradu-
ated from college he engaged first in railroad
construction, and had the transportation in
dustry claimed him he would have died a
great railway president. He studied law
and was admitted to practice at the bar and
had he proceeded to perfect himself as an
advocate he would surely have occupied a
front rank in the legal profession. But he
was destined to be neither a clergyman nor
a railway president, nor a lawyer, but TO de-
vote himself to the responsible task of di-
recting the education of the constant success
sion of the rising generation and, as a con-
sequence, he became a great teacher. a great
educator, a great librarian, a great inspirer
to a small army of young people. who will in
turn deeper his imprint and pass it on in an
ever widening circle.

Nebraska was stationed"
Now let Corporal Guy d. Solomon take up the tale for a spell.
Colonel Stotsenberg was always out in front, up on a stump If the
ground wasn't high enough. In that advance, with a point not far
from Manila as the pivot, where were some regulars, the First Ne
bTaska was on the extreme right, and f and l. companies formed
what W e called the whipcrack of the line at that end, being farthest
out. As l recall it, a troop of regular cavalry had got into difficulty
out on the front and called for achievements. We were swung up for
the purpose of supporting, and it was while engaged in that work Of
rescue that Colonel Stotsenberg was killed. Lieutenant Sisson, a
Nebraska officer, was also killed, as were several men in the line! 4"
And that's about as far as Solomon will go with serious talk of the

lowered. Even then it took some time to make everybody hear, but
we did finally all get aboard. However, we were not exactly in the
good graces of the colonel for several minutes, possibly several days"
Then, in reply to a question, the smiling young veteran went
serious. "The day Stotsenberg was killed? l was not with the COM
pany, having been detailed with Bells Scouts some time before. The
present chief of staff of the army, General Franklin Bell, was the
commander of the scouts, and as we had been covering the advance
for several days, we knew the ground thoroughly. Hence o the
morning of April 23, 1899, we had a detachment out to take General
Wheaton to a certain point on the railroad not far from Malolos, for
a survey of the situation. After Wheaton left / took a detachment
over to a point not far from where Colonel Stotsenberg was killed,
for a reconnaissance. 1t was our bunch that started the fight, as l

He will talk, however, as will Baehr, and d. o.
Barnell, and p. j. White, and the whole bunch, about
matters Of relaxation that happened on board ship.
There was a fruit episode, that has been talked of
more or less. The boys all agree that, having en-
joyed a feast of fruit at Honolulu, after being told
that fruit was not at all good for them, they bought
large quantities, and took the same aboard ship.
There were four ships in that fleet, the Senator, the
Colon, the China and the zealandia, but the one par
ticular little boat on which the forbidden fruit APP
peared was the United States transport steamer Sem
ator. Colonel BratC and some of the other officers
had likewise thought out a scheme to have fruit on
board, to be sold to the enlisted men as might be con-
sidered good for their health. So it came about that
what the men had slowed away was sought out
and tossed overheard. Then the bunch of the SER
pent listened in the ears of some dare-devils, and
they organized a raid on the official fruit stand,
which the same existed no more, shortly.
Below decks for you!' was the order issued
against L company, and they stayed down a day or
two, until the doctor OF the ships captain said It
would not be a healthful stunt to keep them cooped
up any more. They were levied on to pay for the
vanished bananas. cocoanuts, mangoes and such; and
then some more justice-seeking volunteers acquired
a longing for jellies, crackers and similar dainties,
to vary the ships menu served to common soldiers.

Omaha"
So reads the notice sent out by Colonel A. d. Fet-
terman, secretary to the survivors of the Nebraska
troops that served in the Spa~nish-American war. The
Department of Nebraska, United Spanish War Veter-
ans, now has four fourishing camps In the state, viz:
Camp Lee Forby No. /, IN Omaha; Camp William
Lewis No. 2, Lincoln; Camp Guy Dodge No. 8, Fair
bury; Camp Columbus No. 4, Columbus. Major L.
H., Phelps of Lincoln is provisioned commander, by
appointment, but at the reunion on Monday perma-
nent organization will be perfected.
In contrast to the first gathering of these men,
this meeting will be very largely given over to visiting
and to pleasure, with just the minimum Of business.
Sunday and Monday all veterans who come will be
properly received, at the same time that the delegates
from the camps are holding a meeting. During Mon
day afternoon a big smoker, without a hint of formal
fly, will be held. and egimental meetings will be en-
joyed. Monday evening will be given over to a ban
quet, Just to renew memories of the kind of grub the
veterans didn't get when they were in the field.
President McKinley's call was dated April 20, but
1t was on April 26 that orders were received from
Secretary of War Alger tor the mobilization Of Ne
braska's quota, two regiments of infantry. A cav

Wymore were not called for. In the two regiments
were included the two Omaha companies, L of the

SHALL WE LIVE AGAIN?

Hidden away in the secret re. cesses of the heart of man is aD underlying hope of immortality The outer crust may seem rough 1 and ugly, but once you get nea, to the heart-throb you may find all are kin all have the same longing. With some it is a ver definite proposition. With all the hope abides.
 If a man die shall he live a. \ gain?" It is the old, old question; the silent interrogation that wells in every heart. No man would be obliterated through prefer. ence. The Wish for immortality is perhaps one of the strongest arguments that immortality is. The hand that planted in the human core the yearning for eternal life is the same that or. dained life eternal; without one the other would be incomplete. The vast maj jority, whatever their outward indifference or protes- tation, believe in the deathless state and hope for beatiication, and that faith, or religion is most comforting which expects the ultimate salvation of all and the final destruction of none.
 Notice is hereby given that there will be a public examination at Prescott, Ark. on Thursday and Friday March IS and 19 to ascertain the professeonal quail. fication of all persons desiring to teach in the public schools of Nevada county. P.F. Chappell

TAFT YIELDS TROWEL.
Lays Cornerstone of Cargenie Library
at Howard University.

Washington, May 27-Speaking to
the colored graduates of Howard uni
versity near this city, President Taft
declared that never at any time has
the future of the negro, as a race, ap-
peared more hopeful and bright than at
the present day.
The president impressed upon his
hearers the fact that it is for the ne
groes themselves to work out their own
future and to make themselves valua-
BILE citizens in the communities in
which they live. Conditions for the
negro in the SOUTH the president said,
he believed, are growing better and
better. Southern people of the better
more upon the negro race as one of
their most valuable assets, Mr.. Taft
declared, and he again urged upon the
negro the importance of gaining the
respect and the friendship of the white
people among whom he is to live.
The task of educating the negro. and
especially of educating leaders among
the race the president asserted was
debt owed by the government, a debt
only too difficult of repayment because
of the constitutional limits of govern
ment in dealing with the Individual
President Taft personally handed to
the more than 100 candidates for de-
greeS their parchment rolls. When the
commencement exercises were ended
he officiated at the laying of the cor
nofSCOne OF the new carnegie library
the university. The president not only
applied the customary first dash of
mortar, but worked industriously with
the silver trowel until he had covered
the entire resting place for the well
proportioned stone. There was a great
crush to hear the president, more than
a thousand colored people standing in
the rain outside the university chapel
while he was speaking.
"I am delighted to think that condi-
tions are getting better and better for
the negro race" he said. I'm all the
growing communities of the south the
white men of progress are beginning
to appreciate the advantage of having
a. class like the colored men there
They are anxious that they have an in
dustrial education. They are anxious
that they should make their way in
the world and show their usefulness in
the community. The truth is that the
greatest hope that the negro has be-
cause he lives chiefly in the south is
the friendship and sympathetic interest
of the white men, with whom he lives
1T seems to me that the future is in
the hands of the race ITSELF" said Mr.
Taft, in conclusion. Everything that
7 can do as an executive in the way of
helping along this university I expect
to do. I expect to do it, because be-
lieve If is debt of the people of the
limited States. it is an obligation of the
Of the United States and
it is money constitutionally applied to
that which shall work out in the end
the solution of one of the problems that
God has put upon the people OF the
United States"
