is to retire from his present position
the first of March, was elected briga
dier general February -M by the votes
of tho commissioned olllcors of the Ne
braska nntlonul guard. The election
was practically unanimous, there being
no opposing candidates. Howover,
two votes were cast for L. W. Colby,

voles for Capt. Hli Hodglns, of Omaha.
Seventy-one votes were cast for (Jen-
oral Harry. The election was the re
sult of the recent decision of the mili
tary board to form a brigade organiza
tion. Since tho war with Spain there
has been no brigade organization In
the. guard. The two old regiments
entered the United States service and
on their return were reorganized, but'
no brigade organization was formed.
General Harry has served six years as
adjutant gcnerul of the guard and by
his election to the brigadier general
ship he will keep in close touch with
the guard and the guard will secure
the benefit of his military experience
The brigade comprises two regiments,
