EVENTS OF BATTLE RECALLED
The Problem of Supplying Personal and Family Needs
Seems Best Solved by Depending on Burgess-Nash
Rome of the lead from confederate
muskets is still curried In the bodies
of Grand Army men of Omaha. This
was proven at the celebration of the
fiftieth anniversary of the surrender
of Lee, in court room No. 1 of .the
Douglas county court - house last
night. When one of the speakers
asked all those wounded during the
war to rise, thirty-nine flowing gray
beards rose modestly a little above
the heads of the crowd, and thirty
nine aged veterans tottered for a
moment on their feet and then sat
as modestly down.
Appomattox day was a great
day for the veterans, and the even
ing's celebration was the greatest
part of the day, when nearly 600 old
veterans, and their families and
friends crowded into the room at the
court house.
Klaht t the Sm r.
Only sight of the gray veterans fn all
th house were with the army at Ap
pomattox the day of the sair ender of
le. Thews rot to their feet durlns; the
evening and let the crowd oheer them a
moment. Six others were at the battle
of Shlloh. Twenty-three, who faoed fire
on the frightful field of Ylcksburg were
celled to their feet by Judge Jacob
Fawcett of the supreme court of Ne
braska who presided at the meettnr.
Following a program of patriotic muwle
and speaking, the Grand Army men
edopted a resolution looking- toward
" aonvroemoraUna- this anniversary by the
striking and distribution of a medal ap
propriate to the event.
Following Is the resolution, which had
been suggested to the committee by
Victor Rosewater, editor of The Bee, and
which was presented by him:
"Looking back over the half century
that has elapsed since Appomattox, that
crucial event marking the re-establlsh-ment
of peace for a re-unlted nation looms
now in the hictorio perspective larger and
more momentous than even the mosVar
, seeing- actors In it realised. In no similar
period of time and In no otir country
' on earta, do the achievements of the
American people, made possible by the
preservation of tho union, find a counter
part The blessings of peace as con
trasted with the horrors of war are so
peculiarly signalised in the celebration of
this unique anniversary that we believe
It should be fittingly commemorated by
' the striking of an appropriate medal.
- We thereforo, memorialize congress to
. 'make provision for carrying out this Sus
: gestion and for the proper distribution of
: the medals to all who should be entitled
to receive them." -
Trtrraia Called te Floor.
It was Judge Fawcett. presiding over
the meeting, who called to their feet the
' veterans' of certain battles - and drew
rounds of applause from the crowd. After
giving the crowd a moment to view the
J old veterans who participated In a gtven
i battle the Judge ; described the battle
(. briefly. He himself was wounded at
r Shlloh. and having been carried to the
rear and to a height in the hills was able
to overlook much of the battle during
the rest of the day. He spoke of Grant's
generalship in this battle and of the
criticism that was. afterward directed
against the general for not having pro
vided boats enough in advance to take
his men over the Tennessee river in ease
' ha had been defeated. He quoted Grant
as having replied to this criticism. 'There '
would have been boats enough to carry
all that would have been left if 'we had
been defeated."
Victory Kenrte4 !tloa.
. He spoke of Appomattox as a great
victory, not only for the anion, bnt for
the confederacy .alike, as It resulted In
the reuniting of the torn republic.
Judge A. I Sutton spoke of the civil
war as a war between' the commercial
civilization and the Christian civilisation
of a nation with the Christian civilisation
triumphing. He contrasted the civil war
with the war in Europe, declaring that
In Europe no great principle Is Involved
as was the case In the American civil
war. He spoke against large standing
armies and navies, , but declared he
stands for an army and navy large enough
to command the respect of the world
abroad.
Rev. THysses O. Brown, mad a patriotic-
address in which he declared the
schools should first teach the children
all the virtues of tho country before they
, undertake to point out its faults, so that
the young people might learn that in spite
of some faults the country has so many
advantages and so many' vlrtuee that
the few faults can readily be forgiven.
' He praised General Grant for the great
magnanimity he had shown in dealing
leniently with the conquered Lee and his
army. He declared this policy had much
to do with bringing about the speedy re
construction of the union la that It left
the south with as little prejudice as possible.

ORDER HAS STEADY GROWTH
Nebraska, members of the Ladles of the
Maooaboes of the World will hold their
annual state convention at Hotel Rome
Tuesday, April 50, when plans for endow
ing a state hospital sen-Ice wl)l be com
pleted. Almost $500 Is already In the fund for
the Nebraska hospital service of the or
der, and enthusiasm ovr the early and
successful culmlnatlou of the project Is
so keen among all the members that tt Is)
expected plana for endowing the under
taking will be speedily perfected and the
balance of the necessary fund of 15,000
will be readily provided for. Michigan
and Illinois Ladles of the Maccabees al
ready have state hospital services.
The Ladles of the Maccabees of the
World is a fraternal order made up en
tirely of women and wholly officered and
managed by them. Since it began its
existence In 1883, without a dollar or a
member, it has grown to be one of tho
strongest. In Nebraska alone It now
gives protection amounting to S1.S51.643
and has paid out almost $309,000 In death
and disability claims.
Miss Blnda M. West is the founder and
Supreme commander of the head order,
which has 180,000 women enrolled In mem
bership In fifty-five states and provtnoes.
The reserve fund Is nearly $$.600,000, with
annual Interest earnings of 1360,000 from
bond Investments. The dally Interest
amounts to nearly one-third of the daily
death oJalms.
Delegates will be elected at the state
convention In Omaha to attend the grand
supreme hive review to be held In May,
when the work of the last four years will
be gone over. Omaha Is already taking
steps to entertain the state delegates
royally, and the action of the convention
here Is expected to place Nebraska on
the honor roll of the .order.

It's a Hair Soap
Lee's Shampoo U a transparent, syrupy fluid
oap (or hair and scalp. It's not tonic. You'll
not need a tonic or hair renewer or scalp medi
cine if the hair and scalp are kept clean, clean of
aoap as well a clean of grease, dirt and dandruff.
Soaky suds cause more hair and scalp trouble than
all other causes combined. You would not think
of using a shaving soap for the teeth or a tooth
soap for the skin, yet a correct soap for the hair is
more important than either, because its effect is
more lasting and far reaching.
The usual soap Is one-half lye or caustic, often
not fully neutralized. If completely washed out
from the hair no harm is done, but if the soap is
of a soaky nature and penetrates the fibre and do res
of hair and scalp, it cannot all be washed out Much soap is left
behind after the water dries out This soap in time, breaks down,
releasing the lye which eats into the hair and scalp ct using excessive
dandruff, itching head sores, falling hair, etc The hair is often dry
and harsh, or stiif, sticky and gummy.
Lee's Shampoo eliminates all of these troubles. Even a tingle
shampoo, observing the soft, silky condition of the hair, the quick
cleansing and quick drying, is very satisfying. A month's use U
absolutely convincing. The irritating cause is removed.
