In the first place, Nebraska has long had a deep interest in and for the army of the United States, par- ticularly the cavalry arm of the gervice, to which the groom belongs. FKFrom the time Roman Noee fell during the fight on the RICHARD C, ORR OF HAYES TER, NEB, APPOINTED TO SUC- CEED HON. G, W. NORRIS AS JUDGE OF THE FOURTEENTH JU- DICIAL DISTRICT. CEN- Arvickaree, when the little band of scouts under General “Sandy” Forsyth stood off for three days almost the entire fighting strength of the Cheyennes, till Big Foot fell in the Wounded Knee fight, when tho Seventh under General James W. Forsyth paid at least a portion of the Custer score, Nebraska saw an almost unremitting ae- tivity on part of the red men and a conse= quent unremfitting stir among the soldiers. Roman Nese pulled off his spoectacular dems- onstration in 1867. Big Foot found the way to the happy hunting grounds in 1891, After the great Sioux war in 1876 the In- dians were closely confined to their reser- vations, and with the single exception of the raid of the Northerm Cheyennes, who objected to their allotment in Indian Ter- ritory, and swept in an indignant and de- structive wave across Kansas and Nebraska back to their Wyoming habitat, Nebraska saw nothing of actual Indian disturbance. It is owing to the fact that the northerm line of the state is the south line of the great Sioux reserve that all this time a chain of army posts, reaching from Omaha to the Black Hills has been maintained, most of them garrisoned by cavalry. Thus Nebraska has been kept familiar with both trooper and Madian. On the other side of the wedding s a Nebraska girl, whose father has been part of Nebraska history. Colonel William F. Cody is known through- out the elvilized world, but when he gels on this side of the Missouri river he is glad to becomo plain Bill Cody and grasp the hands and hear the voices of men he has known from boyhood. When ‘Sandy" Forsyth and his littie band of Kansas and Nebraska plainsmwen were battling against the overwhelming odds that threatened them with destruction during these tember days in 1867, Bill Cody was just coming to be known as a skillful, intrepid scout; when Colonel J. W. Forsyth led his men to victory in the Wounded Knee af- Sep- fair, Brigadier General W. F. Cody was in command of the two Nebraska regiments assembled on the northern frontier of the state, ready to give assistance to the army should the tide of war voer to the south In those twenty-four years the scout had achieved fame and greatness and fortune His conmection with the army had long been severed, but he was and iIs still on in- timate terms with the real fighting men of the United States. And now his youngest daughter, who, ke her father, has grown up on the sun-kissed prairies of Neb.aska, has again united the Cody famlily with the army and given the old-time Nebt askans at least another reason for feeling an inter- est in the cavalry arm of the service. D “While the Sons of the American Revolu- tion are looking over the family records for evidence to determine the connection of some far-removed forebear with the Wash- ington army, here is a fine old gentleman whose father was one of General Washing- THE ILLUS ton's early volunteers, just celebrating the sixtleth anniversary of his own wedding, and not feeling at all disturbed by the flight of time. Dr. James Dolson of Atlantic, Ia., was born in Steuben county, New York, In 1818. His wife, Arloe Quick, was born in Monroe county, New York, in 1822, 8he went with her parents to Michigan, where young Dolson moved at the age of 19 they met, and on February 19, 1843, when the bride was 21 and the groom 25, they wore masrried. Today, at 85 and 81, they are both strong and hearty, and apparently as contented with their lot as at any time in their long and useful lives. Dr. and Mrs Dolson have been residents of lowa since 1879. Here Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Laughln recently cetebrated their golden wedding at Sargent, Neb Mr. Laughlin was born in Bond county, Illinois, January 6, 1831. His wife, Harriett, was born on the 27th day of Au- gust, 1833, in Ashtabula county, Ohio. They were married on the 12th day of January, 1853, in Grundy county, Illincis, where they endured all the hardships incident upon a pioneer life. Mr. Laughlin enlisted in the Sixty-fourth valunteer infantry of Illinois, Company C, and was with 8herman on his famous march to the sea. He was mustered out of the service in 1865, During the ab- sence of her husband to the war Mrs. Laughlin carried on the farm at home, car- ing for caltle and working In the field, carting grain to market and enduring such hardships as only the women of that time knew. In 1879 they removed from Illinois and settled on their farm which lies one mile north of Sargent. In the early '90s they retired from the farm and purchased the beautifu! home in which they now re- side and where they entertained their guests to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding. —_—— Snow is one of the worst enemies of the wild animal on the range, but when it overtakes him in the comfortable quarters of a city park he can well afford to toss his head in merry scorn at the worst the elements can do. After the heavy snow of February 3 the staff artist took his camera and went down to Riverview park to find out how the beasts of the field held there in captivity hiked it. He found the buffalo standing around on the hillside, looking as though they really enjoyed the few inches of snow the wind bad left for them. The elk were not so fortunate. Their paddock s under the lee of the buffado range, and here the drifts were so deep the animals could scarcely wallow through them. But they didn't seem to mind, as it was quite reminiscent of their mountain homes, the main difference being that the keeper fur- nished them with abundance of hay and other provender, whfle if they had been free In their native wilds they would have been forced to dine on snow balls and pine needles, a diet which no self-respecting elk takes kindly to. The deer, too, had a bet- ter show than the elk, for their range is larger and they were able to get plenty of clear ground, a fact that enabled them to fight shy of the camera man. The bears and that sort of “critter” were safely housed. in their comfortable dens and wouldn't have cared If the snow had been ten feet deep Instead of one. Naturally they are accustomed to the groundhog’s | vagaries, and this was only one more re- minder of their dependence on him. Food comes regularly to these lucky representa- tives of the western fauna and about the only difference the seasons make to them is the changing of their. coats. et Washington's birthil#ty was this year made the occasion of a very ambitious ef- fort by the teachers and children of Frank- lin school, Omaha. For a number of years the teaching corps of this school has been working on a comprehensive plan for deco- rating the school buildicg. Money has been raised in various ways, and all has been expended in carrying out the details of the plan. This year it was expected that a sum could be raised by a concert on Washing* ton's birthday which would go towards com- pleting the general undertaking. The re- sul* was a very agreeable surprise for the promoters, for the proceeds were more than enough to buy the pictures needed. In the pictureé only the pupils of the seventh and elghth grades are shown, for they are the ones who sang. but all the pupils of the school helped in some way, so that each has an interest In the enterprise and Its EUCCEeSss. P . Hon. Richard C. Orr of Hayes Cenler, Neb., who has just been appointed to be judge of the Fourteenth judicial distriet to succeed Hon. George W. Norris, whe re- signed on being elected to congress from his district, is a well known attorney of high standing. His selection by the gov- ernor will be of general satisfaction to the bar of the district.

That the bubomic plague is carried from port to port by rats in ships is an estab- lished Tfact. A French investigator now finds that the disease is commuanicated from rat to rat by fleas, apd that promiscu- ous intercourse between healthy and in- fected rats er their cadavers never trans- mits the plague, while fleas conveyed the discas in ecight tests out of nine. So medical officers arc now giving assiduous attenti'n to the health and comfort of the rats in their districts,
