Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous , Mr. John C. Hubinger , of Keo-
kuk , la. , reigns -without a peer. As
a manufacturer , as an enterprising cap
italist and as a philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states , and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive ,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr.
Hubinger , although but 47 years of
age , can look back upon scores of com
mercial victories , each one of which has
benefited mankind , for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvelous , lie was born , in New Or
leans , La. , his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old , his family removed to Ken
tucky , in which state youngHubinger
received a public school education. Al
most before reaching man's estate he
secured patents on a number of val-
nable mechanical inventions , thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force of circum
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by im
proved processes , and in the course of
time he became the head of a concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing- con
ditions , works ever toward perfection ,
and after years of painstaking- study
and research Mr. Hubinger has made o

crowning event of his -wonderful
career , and which is embodied in a
new article of commerce , known as
Ked Cross Starch ( Hed Cross trade
mark. ) He is planning to distribute
millions of packages of this starch to
the housewives of America , at a merely
nominal price to the consumer , in order
to make its merits known without de
lay. Thus , for but 5 cents two large
lOc packages of Red Cross Starch may
be had , together with two magnificent

cents 10 packag-ee of the starch and
the entire series of eight Shakespearean
views -and one Twentdeth Century Girl
Calendar views alone easily worth
$1.00. Watch this paper for future
premium announcements , of which
every lady will certainly want to take
advantage.
While Mr. Hubinger vrill devote his

the Returning First Volunteers.
Nebraska G. A. . R.
The first day of the twenty-third annual
reunion of the Nebraska Department of
the Grand Army opened ut the fair grounds
ncar Lincoln Sept. 11 with an almost uri-
'
'precedented attendance of veterans. A
formal meeting of Hie Grand Army was
held in the large assembly tent in the after
noon. The program opened with an ad
dress of welcome to veterans from other
states by Gov. Poynter , followed by an ad
dress of welcome to the city by Mayor
Winnett. On behalf of the Nebraska De
partment Quartermaster J. 0. liowen re
sponded , followed by Maj. McClay of the
Third Regiment , ex-Gov. llolcomb and
Gen. Gage.
In the cotirseof his address Gov. Poynter
said the nation was marked by three spir
its. First , the spirit of liberty , which had
been made profitable by the veterans of
177(5 ( ; second , the spirit of equality , the re
sult of the conflict of ' 01 ; and third , the
spirit of fraternity , which was the out
growth of the Spanish-American war. The
union of these three forces , lie remarked ,
makes the greatest country in the world.
Veterans from the national encampment
at Philadelphia began to arrive on the
second day of the encampment and all in
coming trains from Nebraska points
brought large numbers of visitors. As
sistant Adjt. Gen. Larger and Past Depart
ment Commander llussell headed a large
delegation from the cast that arrived on an
early train. Headquarters were opened in
the camp for veterans from New York and
Ihe New England states. Barrack accom
modations had been provide. ! for 1.500 men
and camp quarters for 10,000. Tuesday
morning a large audience gathered in ( he
assembly tent to listen to speeches by
Quartermaster Elder and Gen. Gage , form
erly assistant adjutant general of the de
partment. Col. L ? C. Pace of the local
committee presided. The speeches deliv
ered were reminiscent in character. Both
spoke of the duly an American soldifi i
owes to his country and especially those
the present day. The attendance at this
meeting was considerably larger than any
previous gathering in the tent. In the
afternoon Chaplain Caldwcll addressed
another large audience and several other
veterans responded to calls for short
speeches.
Wednesday the. members of the First
Nebraska Regiment were in attendance.
The streets of the city and the encamp
ment grounds were crowded with visitors
from out of town. The soldiers wore their
uniforms and appeared in much better
condition physically than when they first
arrived home. The Grand Army men at
Camp Otis joined with the citizens in giv
ing the boys of the First un enthusiastic
and patriotic reception. The thin ! day of
the Grand Army reunion opened with a
large increase in attendance. It. is esti
mated that there were fully 15,000 people
on the ground. The program was slightly
changed , there being two meetings .as
usual , but with only one speaker at each.
Dinner was served to members of the
First Regiment from 12 to 2 o'clock in
Mercantile Hall on the encampment
grounds. Provisions had been provided
for 700 men , and nearly all were consumed.
About 600 of the regiment were in attend
ance. Promptly at noon the boys lined up
before the entrance to the building. A
few minutes later the signal was given
and the door was thrown open. Only
those who wore badges signifying * that
they were members of the First Regiment
were admitted. Eighteen tables had been
arranged for the soldiers , all artistically
decorated with flowers , and the national
colors. Each table was in charge of one
woman , with from five to ten assistants.
The officers of the First , Regiment , were
tendered a complimentary banquet at the
Liiulell Hotel during the evening by the
officers of the Second and Third Regiments
of Volunteers and the Second Regiment of
the Nebraska National Guaid. Covers

ccrs and state officials were admitted , all
those present wearing the United States
army uniform. The officers assembled at
the hotel and filed into the banquet hall
shortly before 10 o'clock. Back of the

tVith their torn battle flags Hying and
amidst thunderous cheers from thousands ,
the men who sixteen months ago left the
capital city on their way to the firing line
in the Philippines marched triumphantly
through the streets of Lincoln on the last
day of the encampment , Thursday , form
ing the most conspicuous portion of , per
haps , the greatest military pageant ever
witnessed in Nebraska. The military pa
rade was the crowning event of the state's
reception to the First Regiment and the
greeting extended to the soldiers as they
passsd along the densely crowded street
was as enthusiastic as it was possible to
give.
The parade was announced to move jit 0
o'clock , but there was the usual delay in
getting started , caused by the late arrival
of the soldiers. The stieet , car company
found it impossible to transport from Hie
fair grounds all the veterans who wished i
to participate and others who wished to
t
witness the pageant. Hundreds of people
walked four miles'to the city lo be on Mini'
Old soldiers from the fair grounds were
the first to arrive , followed later by the
men of the First Regiment. The Second
Regiment of the National Uuard , tinder \
command of Col. Campbell , marched to b

With a few exceptions all the oflicers of
the regjment were on hand for the parrade.
At 10 o'clock the order to march was
given. The procession began to move , V

Police Iloagland and a platoon of police. D
Env. Poyiiter'aml stuff" and Assistant Secfc
retary of War Mciklcjohn viewed the pro
cession from a reviewing stand at Four
teenth and M Streets.
The first division was led by Col. Victor
Vifquain , marshal. Following came llag-
enow's band and about 2,000 old soldiers
under command of Lieut. Col. McClay. All
saluted as they passed the reviewing stand.
The veterans of ihe civil war , who were
grouped according to states , marched four
abreast. The next division , comprising 800
of the members of the First Uegiment and
led by Capt. Schwarz and the Fairmont
Military band , followed after a short inter
mission. Col. Mulford and Adjt. Whedon

battalions as follows : First battalion ,
Companies A , L , E and F ; Second battal

talion , Companies M , 13 , D and 11. .
The Forby Guards , a company comprised

A uniformed team of Modern Woodmen
brought up the rear.
Immediately after the parade passed
Gov. Poynter , Secretary Meiklejohn and
the executive staff proceeded to the capitol ,
where the colors were formally received.
Here the different uniformed organizations
were drawn up around the bandstand with
UieFirstRegimentstanding immediately in
front. Tiic program was brief , Col. Mul
ford presenting the battle flags with a few
remarks and the governor responding with
a word of thanks. ' .
As the color bearer stepped forward ,
holding aloft the battle tlag of the regi
ment , all of the -troops and the thousands
of people on the ground united in giving
three thunderous cheers.vCol. . Mulford then
stepped up to the band stand and , facing
the governor , turned the ( lags over to ihe
state. The governor made a brief speech
ofacccptancc.
This concluded the morning exercises
and the tropps dispersed. The flags were
carried by Col. Static and Col. Lundeen to
the military headquarters in the capitol
building and placed in a vault.
In the big tent in the afternoon Assistant
Secretary of War George D. Meiklejohn
lelivered an address to the members of the
First Nebraska Regiment. . In opening he
read the following message from President
McKinley to the regiment expressing his
regret at his inability to attend and person
ally welcome the returning volunteers :
"The Nebraska volunteers were among
the first to respond to the call of the execu
tive. How conspicuously they have real
ized every patriotic expectation is known
to their state and country. With the other
splendid regiments of volunteers and reg-
ularr they rendered devoted and uncom
plaining service ; for months they refused
to avail themselves of the privilege of mus
ter out ; they sustained and strengthened
the government ; they stood by the flag
and kept it stainless.
"At this time of home-coming and re
union it is a source of deep gratification
that the health of the regiment is good , its
morals of the best , and that the losses sus
tained have been no greater , although rel
atively larger than in most of those serving
in the Philippines
"Our thoughts go out to the absent ones ,
who by sickness or death have made de
voted sacrifices in the national service. The
families of these brave men have our lov
ing sympathy , and the heroism of their
deeds will grow brighter with each passing
year.
"I send every good wish that the wel-
cqme given to the First Nebraska may be
niost generous and patriotic. "

STARTLES THE PICKANINNY.
Phcbc Ana Greatly Worried Over
Moving Trees.
She Is only a little black pickaninny
who lives down in Georgia , She Is un-
tier a dozen years In age , and until a
short time ago had passed all of her
life on a rural plantation. Trains and
their attendant movements were utterly -
ly unknown. Indeed what Phebe Ann
knew of anything outside of that plantation -
tation would not make the beginning
of a primer. She was beinjr educated
for a house servant , and hence was not
permitted to roam to any great extent.
She was busy about the big house all
day , and at night retired to the shack
set apart for her family. !
Along in the season , for some good
reason , it became necessary for the !
family to move into a city. The little j
negro girl was wanted , for she had j
much skill in soothing the childish
woes of the heir to the estate. So it
was decided that she must accompany
the expedition. From the time she en
tered the carriage to ride to the railway
station Phebe Ann was in a state of
suppressed excitement. She sat beside
"Miss Amy , " as she called her mistress ,
and -with' staring eyes took in all that
passed without comment.
When she was taken Into the train
her wonderment was amazing. She
sat gingerly on the cushions , looked out
of the window and generally seemed
uncertain concerning the possibilities
of the future. She was silent until the
train commenced to move. Then her
fear took shape. She saw the landscape
passing rapidly before her , and her
eyes filled , her lip quivered and she
snuflled audibly.
"What's the matterPhebe Ann ? "
asked her mistress.
"Oh , Miss Amy , " wailed the picka
ninny , "whah all dem houses and trees
a-goin' at ? "
A seat on the floor was the only
means possible to quiet the fears of the
child. Louisville DiSDatch.
