ELrnlllEIII SERPOII DELIVERED 6f REV. LOU WAGE HE 111 To the Veterans of the Civil War and the Woman! Relief Corps . . at the First Presbyterian Church.., ... , ' FREE SPEECH MID FREE PRESS Fully Illustrated by the Mob That Broke Up W. C Ben ' fefs Presses. ' The Memorial day sermon deliver- j ed last Sunday at the First Presby-j terian church by Rev. Lou Wallace Cade was attended by a large con gregation, the members of McConihe Tost G..'A.lll, and the . Women's Re lief Corps marching in a body to the church and occupying seats of honor In the auditorium, ..addi tion to these two. organizations there was a very large attendance of citizens generally. The sermon of Rev. Gade was an eloquent and able one and deeply touched the hearts of the veterans and the mem bers of the corps present as well as the citizens. The tribute which he paid to the grey and bowed men be fore him was a grand one and one which they deeply appreciated. Ow ing to lack of space and the fact that Rev. Gade does not write out his sermons it Is Impossible to more than briefly sketch his address. In opening his sermon, Rev. Gade said: Honored Soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic! I want to as sure you at the beginning that I consider this the highest honor of my life to address you upon this oc casion. Words are lnadequte to express our admiration and honor for your, valor and heroism. By your valiant deeds you have preserved the union you saved the country you made possible our free institutions and wholesome laws. You stood In de fense of right, in the defense of li berty, in the defense of Justice. Believing in that self-evident truth that "all men are created free and qual," you made it possible for four million slaves to become Ameri can citizens. You stood in the hot line of battle amid the thunder of artillery, the roar of musketry, the shriek of bursting shells and would not suffer the star and stripes of Old Glory to be tarnished or dim med. You are the grandest com pany or men the world has ever known. I want you to know that this great country of ours with Its lofty instl tutions, Its rich forests and mines, its threading rivers, its inland lakes across which leap the dancing sun beams this great country stretching In all Its Imposing magnificence from Maine to the Golden Gate and from the Great Lakes to the blooming flowers of the Sunny South this great temple of freedom, resounding from border to border with the glad praises of ninety million liberty lov ing children, was saved by you. : He then proceeded to take up the earlier history of the country, with Us wars and trials, tracing gradually the growth of national spir it up to the time of the civil war and giving his hearers an outline of the principles underlying the politics of the country. He spoke of the feel ing which prevailed In the north and at the south and of the prosecution of the friends of freedom with the cleavage of the country and the forcing of men into sides of the Im pending conflict. Then he came to that fearful struggle of titans, the civil war: When the storm of rebellion broke upon the land what times there were! You can go back through the halls of memory to the time when the family circle was unbroken, to the old homestead, around which cluster ed the sweetest memories undisturb ed before the war. 1 come from the border tend be tween the north and the south, where many an abolitionist stood by the water's edge of the old, old Ohio and, receiving the fugitive slave, sheltered him and hurried him on toward the northern star where "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was written. and where the true American heart was stirred to its nrofoundest denths by the pen of that noble woman of iioa, ana wnen at last the news came that our flag waving oer Fort Sump- The troubles of W. C. Benfer, ter had been" fired upon husbands, fathers and sons, once the Bupport of happy homes, sprang to arms. My soldier friends, what an im pression you must have made upon this community when your company (A), the first company organized in the state of Nebraska met in this city on Vinter8teen hill and under command of your noble leader, on bended knees swore fealty to the old flag and left your homes and loved ones for the front. And, you, noble women of the Relief Corps; God Bless you! with tear wet cheeks re turned to your homes, some of you to wait the footsteps never return ing. You came back from the field of conflict and for more than forty years by your firesides and open camp fires and at your reunions you have been reciting the story of your struggle and your victories. But you are not all here this morning! Where are those who went out with you? I mean your comrades, those who slept with you under the pale stars and marched with you through the dismal swamps and fought by your side beneath the scorching southern sun. Oh! you have left them beside the broken rocks , at Gettysburg, on the plain of Shiloh, at Chancellorsville, !at Donelson some died in Libby prison, some were laid to rest beneath the palmetto groves of the south, some were buried in unknown graves and others were left to bleach and fade upon the Held of carnage. At this point In his sermon, Rev. Gade drew a most realistic touching picture of the brave soldier of '61, leaving wife and children and march ing away to battle. He drew a por trait of him upon the battlefield and of his death far from the loved ones at home. So graphic was his de scription of this terrible trial that the white-haired veterans could re call such scenes and the tears flow ed freely from all. This was one of the speaker's most eloquent and touching periods. He then took up the country after the war and re cited the story of Its unity under one flag. Rev. Gade then . approached the close of his sermon and paid a formerly of this city, have been stead Uy multiplying and yesterday morn ing he was put Into a state of busi ness suspension, so to speak, by a mob of Irate Lead, S. D., citizens. A mob estimated at 2.000 in number broke Into his printshop at Lead and with sledge hammers destroyed three presses and a Linotype machine- The damage is estimated at $8,000. The paper which Benfer published was the Black Hills Register and it was Socialist In principle. It had beeu Injured at Shops. Frank Slavicek this morning sus tained a severely cut chin while at his work at the Burlington shops. He was at work with a partner straight ening a flue when the latter man let his end of it down unexpectedly, caus ing the other end to fly up and catch Mr. SlavUvk squarely under the chin. The result was a cnt,nhlch tpok sev eral stitches to close. The injury is not a dangerous one and did not keep him from his work, although at the time It hurt quite a bit and when the blow was struck made him see sev eral new and Interesting varieties of comets. After being looked after by the company surgeon, he returned to his work. taking a decided stand in the strike of the Homesteak miners and had fought for the strikers. To this fact Is the attack of yesterday attributed. Benfer had been making some fierce attacks upon the Homestake manage ment and the non-union miners and his paper had teemed with virulent abouse of them. Recently he had been arrested and fined $200 for circulating obscene matter through the mails, the matter consisting of a scandalous version of the ten com mandments. Benfer had a career of more or less prosperity since his lo cation in Lead up to the time of the strike in the mines but since then he has steadily lost money and had been negotiating the sale of his pap er. Another Socialist paper, the Ap peal to Reason, publisned at Glrard, Kas., recently Issued a call for help for hif in a financial way. No ar rests were made at Lead In connec tion with the disgraceful occurence of yesterday morning. PUIS TRIBUTE 10 mm iii Pioneer State Convention.

John C Hartigan The June number of the raagazino called Human Life published at Bos ton, Mass., contains a very excellent short sketch of a one time Platts mouth boy who has achieved fame In so large an amount that this Mas sachusetts monthly Is compelled to set up and take notice. In the de partment of the magazine denomi nated "Celebrities of the Day" the sketch appears under an excellent portrait of John C. Hartigan, for many years a resident of this city and now the commander of the Nebraska National guard. There are minor de fects In the story of General Hartl gan's life but it seems these things occur to magazines published east of the Misslsspippl river just as easily as to the journals printed west of that line of demarcation, so we will let them pas. Incidentally, the maga zlne in introducing General John C Hartigan to its readers, pays Nebras kans a compliment by the statement that this state produces a fighting class of men which it surely does. The sketch is all too brief to do Its subject full justice but it sum marizes his Interesting and success ful military career In an attractive manner and pays him such a tribute that all who read it will be glad to lend their approval to what Is there I written.

And then In the second In augural with nothing but sympathy and love for the south he said this as the war was closing 'Fond ly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away, as was Bald three thousand years ago, so still it must be said.' The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous alto gether 'with malice toward none, with charity for all; with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us continue the work we are in to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, his widow and his orphan'.
