This Is an cutlro surprise to me. I am accustomed to tudents and to exhibitions of lung power, but must say that I novor heard anything like, thin before. I did not expect to meet ny of tho students of the great University of Nebraska this morning, but camo rather to sco things and to sco men more advanced In years than meat of you. The gathering hero this morning must mean that you have on extreme Interest In tho university, of which you form a part. I hope that what ever may come to pass tho interest of tho students will continue, and I may say that whether I become ono of you or not I do expect In the course of yearn to becomo u citizen of Nebraska. This Is purposo I have cherished for a number of years, slnco I feel townrd this state ns you do. "I am glad that you are patriotic, that you bellevo In tho stnte where I nupposo most of you were born and bred. It Is a good stato to grow up In and a good state to llvo In and you have overy reason to bo proud of this unTveralty. I hope that you will cherish It In your thoughts and when you go out as voters and direct the affairs of the stato you will further the beet Interests of the university, "Tho higher Institutions In a community ro a test of Its progress In everything.

Not satisfied with his successes In his ratlvo country, ho wont to England and now Ms fame ns a successful horseman Is on tho tip of overy ongue, not oply jn i.hls country and Knglnml, but In every section of the Blobo where racing has found favor.

Having the stamp of royal approval, eo rlnty both at homo nnd abroad "lionize" Mm and ho Is feted and petted to an extent that would turn an ordinary mortal's head. Tho great Jockey was In such demand socially and dined nnd wined to such an ex tent that It was feared his health would tlve way. Too much society and the ner vous strain of racing told on him. A two weeks' trip to America made him acquainted with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets nnd their remarkable restoratlvu effoctB on a depleted digestive apparatus and he rec ommended thoin in unstinted terras to a friend, saying "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets nro tho best things 1 know of for keeping tho stomach In condition and appetite In Rood repair." Thousands of former dyspeptics can vouch for the truth of Tod Sloan's words, us "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets" havo becomo a household word In America, and few families are without them. Ono or two taken nfter meals keep tho stomach sweet by causing prompt nnd healthy dlgoatlon of the food. Perfectly healthy people uso them after heavy dinners to keep their good health nnd to make suro that no 111 effects will follow nn unusually hearty meal. Your druggist will tell you or your doctor either that Stuart' djspppjla Tablets are composed only of digestive ferments, Ascep tic Pepsin, Hydrastis, fruit acids, otc , nnd for the strong stomach, as well as tho most delicate, constitute a safeguard against Indl cestloa and stomach troubtcs, a generous, large, way not In a sectarian way to dovclop character. I wish to thank you for tho Interest you have displayed, so . far as It has been meant for me, and If It has not been meant for me, It has been ' meant for tho university, for Chancellor Iktsscy, the faculty and the Board of He gents."

"Tho great, earnest, democratic Loubet would naturally find an Interesting field of observation In our way of dealing with tho Eoclal problems of this age. But what must be noticed and said Is that his sympathetic Interest toward us Is characteristic of the wholo nation which Ioubct so fittingly rep resents. "Tho French people consider our republic and theirs very near In alms. We aro ob served, discussed and Judged hero with the most liberal understanding and tho moat brotherly feeling. This cannot bo repeated too often In America. Franco deserves our esteem and warmest friendship. "I am happy to say that tho official rela tions between the two governments havo been moro cordial.

As a rule tho novelty In base ball Is not astonishingly proficient, but the hustle which Manager Rourke's hearties had to don to bring their Indian visitors Into camp was fraught with more or less surprlso to the spectators, who, on account of tho lowering skies, wore few In number. Most of the redskins sprung upon the crowd wero built upon tho plan of Long fellow's prlzo Indian and In the Imagination of that lamented portraycr of Indian lore would doubtless rival In prowess and skill their Illustrious progenitor.
