He was well known as an educator, minister and author or religious books. In fiaot, for many yeans he iwas one of the best known men of his denomination in America. Dur ing the many years that he was chancellor of Nebraska Wesleyan he did much to bring that popular Institution to Its present standing. It now holds a position of prestige among the educational institutions of the middle west. The funeral of Dr. Huntington was held Monday afternoon at the Meth odist Episcopal church In University Place; the body was laid to rest in Wyuka cemetery, Lincoln.

Campbell, of Camp bell Soil Culture Fame, to Give Address Here PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE As between several progressive candidates for nomination for the same office, the Herald prefers to not take a too pronounced stand be fore primaries. For the democratic nomination ior president, there are a number or candidates any or whom would be acceptable to us. It will be a pleasure to support Woodrow Wilson ir nominated against a stand pat republican candidate. The same may be -said in regard to Champ Clark, Governor Fobs and either or several others whose names have been mentioned as prospective can didates ror the democratic nomination There are three candidates for the democrat Ic nomination for United States senator from Nebraska to suc ceed Senator Norris Brown, whose recent seech In Indlpanapolls placed him flat-footed where for a long time we have believed he has belonged, and that Is on the standpat platform. Of the three candidates for the dem ocratic nomination ror United States senator, either If nominated and e lected will, we believe, serve his constituents faithfully. These three men are all weltdcnown in Nebraska, and we do not deem It necessary to ay much before the primaries in re gard to their respective qualifica tions ror the orrice to which they as pire, but we believe that we should Invite our readers to an investigation of the ability and merits or one or these candidates, particularly ror the reason that not much has been said VALENTINE PARTY Twenty eight young people re sponded to Invitations sent out by Mlss Emma Thk) to attend a Valen tine party to be given at her home last evening. The attnHr proved to be one of those Joyous occasions, the thoughts or whloh In arter lire ohOW the heart and brighten mem ory s page. Misses Delia Holsten and Helen Klce assisted In receiving the guests. Games were played, Charles Lamon winning Hrst prize, a book, In a "Girls' Names" contest, and Mls Iveone Mallery receiving Mm consolation prise, a valentine. A very unique way or securing partners for luncheon was devised by the hostess: each young lady while marrtilng to strains of music, produced by Miss Leone Mallery at the piano, selecting for her partner the young man whose visage appear ed In an open heart-shaped frame which hung In the doorway in the center of a screen. The scheme or hearts was carried out in the beautiful luncheon served, tlhe hostess being assisted m the serving by Misses Nellie Tash, Delia Colburn, Helen and Irene Rice. Miss Tash is noted for being a very entertaining young lady and a fine time is always assured at her (home HON. WILLIS E. REED SATURDAY AFTERNOON, FEB. 17 The Herald is In receipt or a let ter from General Sunt. K. K Young, or the C B. & Q. railroad, under date ot Feb. IS, Informing us that Prof. H. W. Campbell, of Campbell soil culture fame, will be in Alliance to' address fanners and all ut tiers in tereeted in 4ie agricultural develop ment of this part of the west, on Saturday afternoon or this week The address wtll be given in the district court room at the court house g 2:30 o'clock. Following i Mr. Young's letter: "1 now have a message from Prof. H. W. Campbell, that he will arrive at Alliance on No. 44 Saturday, the 17th, and will be prepared to talk to the fanners that afternoon. "There Is no question but what Mr. Campbell can do a lot of good in this country, aud for that reason I consider K important that as many farmers as possible be present." James Pntmeil brought his moth er. Mrs. Kltbth Krejclk. who lives with him. to Si Joseph's hospital at Alliance Wednesday of last week for an operation, wiiiiii was per toriued Saturday moruiug We are i, I. .l-.. i to note Ui.U Mr. Krejclk is getting along nicely It is expected that she will be sufficient ly recov ered by next week to return home. In this part of the state in regard to his candidacy. We refer to Hon. Willis E. Reed of Madison. There has been no blowing of trumpets in Mr. Reed's behalf, but as his qualifications become better known to the voters of the state, his candidacy becomes stronger. He is recognized by the legal fraternity as one of the strongest constitutional tamers In Nebraska, and should he be elected to represent this state In the United States senate, his le gal lore will, without doubt, make him a strong member of that body. To be sure, there is not much of the pyrotechnic about him as there is a bout some other men in politics, but his iiiflu, -mi is felt and leaves its impress upon men with whom he associates. Willis E. Reed is a .man of un questioned integrity, whose sincerity Is not doubted by his most intimate acquaintances, whose talent and a blllty are such as to commend him to, and give h'.m a strong influence with, a progressive democratic sen ate, such as the United States will probably have before the close of the next six-year term, an influence that with such a body of men would be second to that of no other candi date now before the voters or Ne braska. Without any disparage ment to any or the other candidates. The Herald wishes to endorse Mr. Reed ror the democratic nomination ami shall be pleased to see him nominated and elected. Many or our readers will remember that he delivered an address on the subjeat or "Intersta.te Commerce" before the Nebraska Stock-Growers Association In Alliance last summer. There was not much said about the address at that time, except Uiat It was published in The Herald, but before long the attention or many public men was called to this ad dress, and upon reading it they pro nounced it a most masterful hand ling or a knotty problem Copies ot tills speech may now be obtained in circular form. The Herald believes that a man who has the ability to competently handle the interstate commerce ques tion, and who stands right on the trust question aud the tartft ques tion and direct legislation and other subjects of such vital importance to the Amu 1 1. .in people, should at least receive an unprejudiced considera tion from tiie voters of his common wealth. LECTURE COURSE et number. Feb. z'i, Pheluu Op era House. NEBRASKA ANNIVERSARY Governor Aldrlch has issued a proclamation calling attention to the fact that March 1st Is the forty fifth anniversary of Nebraska's ad mission to the union. He suggests that the enterprising citizens of the state put in the day writing to peo ple outsidV of Nebraska, setting forth hi detail the splendid opportun ities Nebraska otters to homeseekers and Investors. We would like to add to the governor's suggestion that enterprising citizens subscribe lor their enterprising home papers to (be sent to fcheir friends elsewhere. Headers of The Herald are invited to send It to their friends In east- em Nebraska and outside of the state. Hon. Richard L. Metcalfe flH ' We are pleased to present to Her ald readers this week a half-tone cut of (Ion. Richard L. Metcalfe, candidal c for the democratic nomi nation I r governor of Nebraska. We have already expressed through these 1 1 ' inns our endorsement of Mr. M life as a candidate for gov ernor, but we wish to repeat that he is a thoroughly progressive candi date Ln every sense or the word and add that in our opinion he is the only one or the candidates for the democratic nomination ror governor who can probably win out over Gov ernor Aldrlch, who will no doubt be renominated by the republicans. We hope to see Mr. Metcalte receive the democratic nomination. FAVORS OLD TIME FRIEND Schoolmate of Hon. John H. More head Boosts for Him J. E. Wilson, the stockman who lives four miles west or Alliance, is an old time friend or Hon. John it.
