GLAD HAND HELD OUT THE BLUE AND GRAY A HARMO NIOUS WHOLE. Nebraska Veterans Gather at Norfolk for Their Annual Encampment and Re union—An Address of Welcome From an Ex-Confederate—The Glad Hc.nd Cordially Extended. The Veteran's Encampment. The Grand Army of the Republic encampment recently held In Norfolk was well attended.

His remarks were highly ap preciated by the "boys,” his address being interrupted by enthuisastic ap plause. At the close of his address he was heartily congratulated and giv en a rifting vote of thanks and his ad dress ordered made a part of the records. He said in part: Gentlemen of the Department of the Grand Army of the Republic: As the chief executive officer of this city it is my privilege as well as pleasure to welcome you in the name of the city and its inhabitants and to tender you its freeedom and hospitalities. I wel come you as the survivors of the grandest army that ever marched to battle. I welcome you for your he roic achievements which have been woven into song and story and shall be sung by the children of the repub lic until time shall be no mere. I wel come you because in sunshine and in itorm, in victory and defeat, you fol lowed your flag as a pillar of cloud by lay and lire by night, and left the lecord of your achievements on the brightest pages of your country’s his rory. I welcome you, ladies of the Re lief corps, for in your sphere you did no less than your fathers, husbands, sons and brothers. You cheered and fanned the flame of their patriotism and gave with resignation your fallen heroes and welcomed home with glistening eyes and grateful heads the vi/Hnrimia vptP.rnTis T.nallv T wfll ,'ome and salute you as comrades, a soldierly word with all Its tender re collections and clustering memories.

I shall attempt no culogium on the achievements of comrades, living or dead, absent or present. The Boldiers on either side of that gigantic struggle gave imperishable prestige and honor to American valor; both sides were actuated by the most exalted motives. Whatever may be the difference about the war and its cause, no brave or generous person can deny that it was made up of deeds of desperate v-i~ great military strategy, unparalleled endurance of hardship and natrlotic heroism on either side. You, my friends, felt, that republican govern ment and liberty Itself was gone if the union of the states was dissolved. The southern soldier believed in the sovereign rights of the states and the union with only certain delegated nowers and guaranteed rights and de fending his home and his property from Invasion. The ardor with which they rallied around their resnective flags from In vasion and followed them through sacrifices, through danger and death was equal and proves their conscien tious patriotism. Each soldier who 'aid down his life on either side for his country thought that hp died for a holy cause. Doth sides believed th»v were right.. Self-sacrifice unto death for what a man believes is heroism, and heroism that deserves Immortality —yes, more than deserves it, carries immortality in his breast. On the sixth ballot H.

IRRIGATION MOVING FICURHS SHOWING EXTENT OF THE INDUSTRY. Many Miles of Ditch are Being Used and Thousands More are Under Construc tion—Total Cost of the Work Com pared With Total Value of the Land—• Big and Valuable Investments. Ditching the State. If all the Irrigation canals in Nebras ka were stretched out in a straight line they would reach from Omaha to Boston, and the canals now being constructed, if attached to the west end of the line would reach from Oma ha to Ogden. The projected ditches, permits for which applications have .been filed, if added to the canal would stretch from Boston to San Francisco and then many miles north toward Alaska. The increase in the value of the land now under' irrigation, if con verted into money and divided up among the people of Nebraska would give each man, woman and child $9 apiece, with an odd $750,000 over and above. Most of the canals now in use or being constructed were established by permits secured under the old irri gation law. The law was changed in 1895, but practically all of the water permits up to the present time have been secured under this law. The ap plications made under the new law since 1895 have mostly been compelled to wait until it could be ascertained that there would be water to spare af ter the ditches under the old permits had been put in. Thus the following showing of the irrigation ditches con structed or in course of construction, up to December 30, 1897, are all from permits secured under the old law: Miles in Miles con- course of County. structed. contruc’n.

The cost of the irrigation work up to date has been $1,576,383.44, and the estimated cost of the total mileage when the ditches now in course of construction are com pleted, reaches $3,140,385.54. The larg est amount expended in any one county has been in Dawson, where up to date the 253.75 miles of ditches, completed and in course of construction, have cost $474,813.23, and almost as much more will be needed to complete the work. The number of acres in this county receiving water from these ditches is 257,720, and the estimated increase in the value of the land is 82,061,760. Next, to Dawson the county having already expended the most monev is Hitchcock, where it has cost $160,290.79 to prepare ditches for the watering of 42,480 acres, it being esti mated that the completion of all the works in this county will cost $225,027. In point of number of acres watered Deuel countv comes next to Dawson, having 166.333 acres of watered lands, the cost up to date being $45,844.25, and the estimated cost to complete all works, $358,045.35. Adams county for the smallest cost, its one-half mile of ditch having been put in at an ex pense of $250. watering seventy acres of land and increasing the value of the watered lands $560, or over double the ~t of the ditch. Taking into con sidi on the small mileage the most expensive works are in Franklin coun ty, where the 5.63 miles of ditch will cost $23,803, watering 345 acres of Iqnd. the value of which is increased $2,760. Under the law the applications filed with the state board of irrigation be *}<••<??n Anrll <*, 1895. and December 20, 1897, from 415 persons and companies who desire to appropriate the public waters of the state are distributed over fifty-two counties and foot up to the following totals: M1le» of ditch, 2 7tp. 95; estimated cost, SR 573,3'1 55; number of acres to be watered, 3.159.797; esti mated increase in the value of tbs 'nnn when placed under irrigation, $25,278, 376.

CAUSE FOR ALARM. flow baldness begins. How to prevent it. Every person, male or female, shrinks from baldness. It adds to the appearance of age and is a serious discomfort. The cases are rare when the falling out of the hair may not be stopped, and a new and healthy growtl of the hair promoted. The hair grows in the scalp like a plant in the soil. If a plant flourishes, it must have constant attention- it must be watered regularly and find its food in the soil where it is rooted. It’s so with the hair. Neglect is usually the beginning of bald ness. Dandruff is allowed to thicken on the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insuf ficiently nourished, begins to fade and to fall. The instant need in such a case is some practical preparation which, sup plying the needed nourishment to the scalp, will feed the hair, give it strength, and so produce a strong and healthy growth. All this is done by Dr. Ayer's Hair Vigor, the most practical and valua ble preparation for the hair that can be obtained. It tones up the scalp, does away with dandruff, stops the hair from falling, restores the original color to gray.pr faded hair, and gives an abundant and glossv growth. Those who are threatened with approaching baldness will be interested in the following voluntary statement, made by Alderman S. J. Green,of Spencer, Iowa. He writes: “About four months ago, my hair com menced falling out so rapidly that I became alarmed, and being recommended Dr. Ayer’s Hair Vigor by a druggist, I resolved to try this preparation. I have been now using it for three months, and am much gratified to find that my hair has ceased falling out and also that hair which had been turning gray for the past five years has been restored to its original color, dark brown. It gives me much pleasure to recommend this dressing.’*— S. J. Green, Alderman, Spencer, Iowa. Those who are interested in preserving and beautifying the hair will do well to send for Dr. Ayer’s Curebook, A story of cures told by the cured.
