the well known men of the lastern
portion of Nebraska and for a num
ber of years was a resident of Eagle,

materially assisted in the founding
of that ; pleudid little city.
Mr. English was found uncon

greater part of his life, lie was one
of the first four students to be grad

One of our best friends has been
blasted by a tragedy the word
tragedy that can come to any man
who is married. So far he has borne,
up under it without committing sui

He is accepting the situation with
the dignity and calmness of mind,
in spite of the mental torture which
he undoubtedly is suffering, which
ascribes true greatness and nobility
of spirit. It is a fine thing to be
