Cordially Extended.
The Veteran's Encampment.
The Grand Army of the Republic
encampment recently held In Norfolk
was well attended. It Avas opened
with an address of welcome hy 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 rising 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
wclcomo 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 more. I wel
come you because in sunshine and in
storm , in victory and defeat , yen fol
lowed your Hag as a pillar of cloud by
day and fire by night , and left the
record of your achievements on the
brightest pages of your country's his
tory. 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 bear's the
victorious veterans. Lastly , I wel
come 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 Avith it my kindest v/ishes , my
warmest esteem and my earnest hopes
for your prosperity and welfare. I
shall attempt no eulogium on the
achievements of comrades , living or
dead , absent or present. The soldiers
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
Hie war and its cause , no brave or
generous person can deny that it was
made up of deeds of desperate v > i- "
sreal military strategy , unparalleled
endurance of hardship and natriotic
heroism on either side. You. my
friends , felt , that republican - government
ment and liberty itself was gone if
Hie union of the states was dissolved.
The southern soldier believed in the
sovereign rights of the states and the
union with only certain deleeated
nowers and guaranteed rishts and de-
tending his home and his property
from invasion.
The ardor with which thev rallied
around their resnective flags from in
vasion and followed them through
sacrifices , through danee.r and death
was equal and proves their conscien
tious patriotism. Each soldier who
'aid down his lifp on either side for
his country thousrht that Iip died for a
holy cause. Both sidp < ? believed th v
were right. Self-sacrifice unto death
for what a man believes is heroism ,
and heroism that deserves immortality
yes , more than desprves it , carries
irnmortalitv in his brenst.

desert known as Death Valley. They
entered the alkali lands hale and

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-
tqr 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 :

icres of land have been placed under
rrieration and the estimated increase
n the value of the land on account of
he irritrption is $9,732,192 , or at the

rrisration work up to date has been
51,576,383.44 , and the estimated cost

peted , reaches $3.140.3S5.54. The larg-
! St amount expended in any one county
las hppn in Dawson , where up to date
he 253.75 miles of ditches , completed J
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 rece-ivinc : water from these
ditches is 257.720. and the estimated
increase in the value of the land is
S2.061.760. Next to Dawson the county
having already expended the most
monev is Hitchcock , where it has cost
8160,290.79 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 , $358,015.35. 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 cost of the ditch. Taking into con
sideration the small mileage the most
expensive works are in Franklin coun
ty , where the 5.63 miles of duch will
cost $23,803 , watering 345 acres of
land , the value of which is increased
$2,760.

livery 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 , aud a new and
healthy growti 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 ca e 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 hcalp , does away
with dandruff , stops the hair from falling ,
restores the original color to gray or faded

The B. nntl O. Mini Greater Now York. | I
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad 1
now runs its freight trains over its .
own tracks .into New York city. Years
ago a line was built from Cranford
Junction on the Jersey Central railroad -
road to St. George's , Staten Island ,
crossing the Kill Von Kull on a long
bridge and trestle work , and all B. &
O. freight , either inbound or outbound ,
. The recent -
was handled from that point.
cent extension of the limits of New
York city has made Staten Island a " -
part of Greater New York , and the B. & - *
O. now enjoys the distinction of being - >
the only line from the west , except
one , which has its own rails into the
city of New York. < y H
