Welcome to the Boys of '98 The Spanish-American war veterans who are meeting in Omaha this week will receive cordial welcome from every resident of this city. The welcome will be particularly cordial on the part of the men and women who have lively personal recollections of the stirring times in and around Omaha during the preparations lor and at the close of the war with Spain. In that war—as in every other war— Nebraska soldiers brought honor to their state. Those who went into actual battle carried Nebraska’s colors into the thick of the fight, many fell mortally wounded, others who did not reach the firing line suffered and sacrificed in poorly equipped hospitals. We did not then have the facilities which we have now and the boys of ’98 proved themselves real heroes from enlistment to peace treaty. We cannot call these boys old now. Many of them would resent it. But they are veterans of one of history’s im I portant struggles, they won their spurs, and they are entitled to wear them. All Omaha is glad to do 1 them honor._ /. L.
