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. It was opened
with an address of welcome by Mayor
Alexander Bear, who during the war
was a surgeon in the confederate
army. 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.
Yes, I salute you as comrades and
though I wore the gray my greeting
carries with It my kindest wishes, my
warmest esteem and my earnest, hopes
for your prosperity and welfare. 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.

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:

In the thlrtv-nine counties 1,216,524
acres of land have been placed under
irrigation and the estimated increase
in the value of the land on account of
the irrigation is $9,732,192, or at the
rate of $8 per acre. 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

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. This book of 100
pages is sent free, on request, by the J. C.
Ayer Co., I^owell, Mass.
