While the flag was being raised tlio
male quartot composed of Mesrs.
Cottiug, Walker, Hush and Thomas
sang the Star Spangled ltanner, after
which the lied Cloud Band rendered
the music of this National i nthenn
Attorney Foe then came forward
nnd delivered a short address. He re
fcircd to the ling which was about to
be raised to the Nebraska winds,
which would constantly remind us of
the duty we owe our countty, ami con
cluded by reciting n stsuza of "Vour
Flag aud My Plug."
Tlio next speaker was Attorney Oil
ham, who by his pleasing manner and
forceful words held the audience spell
bound during the entire time he ad.
dressed them.
He gave the history of the flag from
the time King George of England
saught to rulo, with, an Iron hand, the
talcteetx colonies; how the patrfotle
mktrofthat time refused to further
submit to the rule of the King, and
through the revolutionary 'war made
themselves a free country; how the
civil war wa fought In order to make
all men, colored and white, free and
equal; how Lincoln, the poorest of the
poor, became the idol of the people;
lnw this same nation, England, who
in the seventeenth century fought to
destioy the stars and stripes aud place
the people who defended this Hag un
der thnir rule, today honored this Hag
and gave it a place with their colors
on every building of note in their en
tire kingdom, nnd ulioso people will
today fight shoulder to shoulder under
those same stats nnd stripes.
Ho appealed to the people to. do nil
In their power to defend this Hug and
to forget political niui social illller
ences In otder to become n milted
nation.
Mr. Anderson of the U. S. N. then
came forward aud iusttucted all the
young men of this vicinity, who had
no one depending upon them, to meet
him at his hondqtinitcis and discuss
the duties and tequlrements of our
nuvv and if pos&lble offer their service
to this dopartment. Ho mentioned
tlio false delusion under which tlio
majority of the people had been labor
ing in regard to the class of men thnt
made up our navy, that they weto not
the ru ill ns and undesh cables of the
nation as was thought by the people,
but young men coming from the best
families; that booze was not classed on
the navy bill o' fare, and that to be
come intoxicated meant dismissal from
the service.
