SELECTMEN STOP OVER IN LINCOLN A company of nine selectmen from Grand Island and Alliance, Neb., ar rived in Lincoln Thursday evening en route to Camp Funston. Their inten tion was to spend the evening in Lin coln, leaving eaily Friday morning for the training camp, but were sent upon the wiong train. This caused them to be put off some distance down the road, making them too late to catch the next train, so they were compelled to spend Friday in our citj, leaving for their destination early Saturday morning. Mr. Robert Johnson was accompa nied on bis trip from Denver, Colo., last Thursday 'ey Mr. Gcasta Volata, a Hindu who now resides in Chicago. Mr. Volata is capable of speaking 24 languages and has visited nearly all the countries of Europe. MISS MARY G. EVANS LEITH RES ON A “TRIP TO THE HOLY CITY” A very large audience greeted Miss Mary G. Evans, the noted evangelist when she spoke on “A Trip to the Holy Land,” last Friday evening. The program was opened by the singing of “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.” Invocation by Rev. J. S. Payne; a song entitled “The Holy City” was rendered very effectively by Mr. J. E. Jeltz, accompanied by Mrs. Isetta Malone. In speaking of her trip Miss Evam spoke of visiting all the prominent cities of France, Germany and Switz erland; of attending the Sunday school convention at Zurich and of the won derful inspiration received there. Leaving Zurich she went to Italy, Greece and thence to llu* Holy Land. She also had the pleasure of wit nessing the worship of the Moham medans in Constantinople, noting while there the wonderful colorings of the sky anil the innumerable tinted islands. In the Holy Land she visited such biblical places as the Isle of Patamas anil the ruins of the temple of Baal in Syria. One feature of this magnificent structure is that each block of lime stone used weighs one thousand tons. Another portion of interest viewed were the cedars of Lebanon, Damas cus and the city of Tiberius on the sea of Galilee. Miss Evans also had the pleasure of visiting the little town of Nazareth, the home of Mary, the Church of the Incision, Jacob’s well, and the most sacred city in all the world, Jeru salem, where is found more beggais than anywhere else on the face of the glofoe. She also visited Bethlehem, the city of Jericho, House of Rahab and also noted the grandeur of the River Jor don, where she was baptized. In the course of her tour she visited Tyrol in Egypt and also the two remaining pyramids, learning while there that the mumies of Rameses and King Pharoah had been removed to the mu seum nearby. After passing the rock of Gibraltar and before she was well on her way home, she experienced one of the worst storms she had ever seen in the gulf stream. / CAPTAIN BRYAN COMMANDS COLO R K I) COMPANY In speaking with Mr. Charles W. Bryan last Thursday, our former may or of Lincoln and now candidate for governor, I was informed that his son, Silas N. Bryan, a young man of marked degree of intelligence is per forming military duty at Camp Dodge. One interesting feature of Captain Silas N. Bryan’s career is that he re signed his position as instructor of officers at one of the training camps several months ago, making applica tion for the captaincy of a troop of Colored soldiers. Captain Bryan received the appoint ment and is now captain of Company One, 804th Colored infantry at Camp Dodge. He has been preparing this infantry for active duty and they are almost in readiness for service in F ranee.
