Some of tbe republican business men
are just finding out what a flue thing
it is to be taxed by a corporation con
gress. As the recent tax comes bear
ing down on them they are doing some
thinking that they ought to have done
several years ago. Some of them say
that this revenue bill is the worst piece
of legislation ever enacted. A prom
inent republican stood on the street
corner today and actually cursed the
banks, writes T. II. Tibbies. That
was a Bight never seen in Nebraska
before. That very same men less than
two weeks ago told us tbat we ought
to leave legialation to tbe bankers, for
they were the only men wbo under
stood tbe money question. Now be
sava tbat tbe bankers are a set of
thieves and scoundrels, because they
have invented a scheme and put it in
practice whereby tbey escape tbe
stamp tax on notes which every one
else bas to pay. Tbis same republican
was cursing tbe corporations. Tblnk
of that! Tbe millenium must be near
at band. A prominent republican de
nouncing corporations! Tbe like of it
was never beard before. . lie said tbe
express companies and railroads were
making their customers pay all tbe
tax, paid none at all themselves and
skinned tbe people at every turn. He
declared be wa in for a fight and out
for blood. He bad, be said paid over
810 since tbe law went into effect
while tbe great corporations in Lincoln
bad not paid a cent. He said he be
lieved tbat tbe corporations and tbe
banks wrote every word of the bill,
and be hoped tbat tbe popocrats would
carry tbe country by about 10,000,000
majority tbis fall. He wound up by
asking every popocrat in tbe crowd
to corns in and bave a cigar

Mrs. Harry Ilillery died at Roche
ford, S. D., Sunday morning July 17,
16!iS, at the a-e of thirty-two years.
Gertrude Kerney-Hillery was a res
ident of l'lattsmouth from early girl
hood until the time of her marriage in
this city to Harry Ilillery on Septem
ber 21st, 1897, and was probably pos
sessed of as large a circle of sincere
friends as any woman who ever lived
here. Sae was a person of remarkably
strong character, unusually self -reliant
and withal, of a very charitable and
benevolent disposition. She was a
eonsisteut and practical christian and
one whom society can illy afford to
losa.
Mrs. Ilillery was a yraudate of the
Plattbmoutb high school and was for
several years a teacher in the public
educational institutions of the city.'
She afterwards learned stenography
and was at different times employed
in the oQices of Judge Ramsey and
Byron Clark. Liter she obtained a
position iu the oflije of United States
Marshall F. E. White, resigning it at
tbn time of her marriage.
Mr. and Mrs Ilillery went to live in
Kansas immediately after their mar
riage and removed later to Terry S. D.
which place was their home at the
time of the sad event above recorded.
When dea'h came they were visiting
at tbe home of a brother in Rocheford.
The remains were brought to Coun
cil Bluff for interment Tuesday after
noon and were laid to rest beside those
of the mother of the deceased. Rev.
II. B. Burgess went up to conduct the
services, and was accompanied by a
large number of friends from this city.
Mrs. Ilillery was a niece of Mrs.
Martha Black and a sister of Miss
Harriet Kerney, both of this city, lie
sides these she leaves a married sister
in the western part of the state, and
a brother and other relatives in and
near Council Bluffs.

Oaly a few tearful mothers and
wives and sisters and sweethearts ! Kae cara
were still on the ground, most of them
having said good by Sunday night.
The boys were not exuberantly happy,
but calmly cheerful, and every one
seemed anxious to start.
The work of packing was taken up
early this morning and everybody was
busy. Guard mounting occurred as
usual.
The medical and hospital force was
divided among the'battalions. Dr.
Ralph Irwin of Hastings, who ranks
as captain, goes with tbe first battal
ion, under Lieutenant Colonel Vf
qnain.over the Missouri Pacific, and
is accompanied by Second Hospital
Steward O. F. Ilartquest and Nurses
Kraft, Tressler and Fitzsimmons.
This battalion is made up of company
C from Omaha, Captain Charles II.

George L. Sheldon: I) from Omaha,
Captain William Neve, and A from
Lincoln, Captain Charles F. Schwarz.
Dr. O. Grothan, major surgeon of
the regiment. Chief Hospital Steward

from Fremont, William McVicker
captain; M from Holt county, R. F.
Cross captain and E from Blair. Don
C, Van Deusen captain.
The boys had their first experience
with hard tack at noon today. Five
days' ratious has been issued to each
company, and each quartermaster ser
geant has made the issue to every
third man, he receiving the quantity
for three men for that length of time.
The issue consists of bard tack, beef,
coffee, corn and tomatoes.
The second and third battalions will
meet at Des Moinea and leave there at
the same time. Each battalion goes
in two sections. The second and third
battalions will meet a second time at
La Salle, HI., and the three battalions
meet at Memphis, Teun.. and all go
over the same line to Jacksonville.
Boots for all the field officers were
received this afternoon just before the
time of leaving.

haversacks, cartiidge belts, tincups.
canteens, scabbards and a roil contain
ing a half tent, a woolen and a rubber
blanket strapped to them, a rifle over
their shoulders and enough patriotiem
in their hearts to disregard the intense
heat, which was made more severe by
the load they carried.
Lt. Col. Vifquain gavt the command
at 3:15, and as the band struck up
"Dixie," the march began.
The boys were so glad to start to tbe
front tbat they made a joyful noise all
the way down Thirtieth street to the
tracks. First they declared the colo
nel all righi, then tbe Omaha girls
who bad pinned bouquets on their uni
formsall right, then their several
companies all right.
Some of the Omaha girls were
marching beside their best fellows and
carrying their rilles, ever so sorry that
tbey could not march with them to
Jacksonville or Cuba, or even the ends
of the earth.
The crowd at the tracks sweltered
unprotected in the heat of the sun, was
such as no man could number.
The delay in starting from the fort
was because the cars were not quite
ready, and the soldiers reached the
tracks then before the cars were on
band. They were pulled up in a few
minutes, however, but a little misun
derstanding between Lt. Col. Vifquain
and the railroad officials as to tbe
transportation of tbe troops made tbe
boarding of the train an exceedingly
slow, wearisome and warm matter.
It was an awful place to bid dear
ones good-by. buijwamen stood though
nearly fainting from suffocation, in the
crowd, uiudJy teiirii streaming down
their faces, till the last chance to see
the particular dear one in question had

of the battalion did not pull out until
