Boys Tarn Out Their Chief. to Receive Monday evening quite a crowd of citizens, old soldiers and their families wero in attendance at the opera house, at the reception given to Capt. A. G. Weissart, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of tho Republic, who is maKinga tour tnrougu tne country in the interest of the order. Commander-elect Rossiter of Baker Post in command of a large escort of old soldiers, to the music of tho S. of Y. drum corps, marched into tho opera house at half-past seven, and stacked arms on the stage. The national colors were amply displayed, interspersed with the portraits of generals, and the always-appropriate faces of Washington and Lincoln. General Dilworth, commander of the department of Nebraska, made the first speech of tho ovening, dwelling upon the tests of comradeship, the soldier's duty to his family, his children and the government, illustrating his views with appropriate incidents and anecdotes. Tho main sentiment of his speech to the old soldier was: "Never, by word or deed, to detract from the cause for which ho fought, or exalt in tho lea6t tho other side." Captain Weissart was then introduced and interested tho audience with a speech well calculated to give to out siders an impartial view of the objects of the order. Ho quoted from tho con stitution of the G. A. R, showing tho inception of the fraternal society that now numbers a half million of veterans. He asserted that he had been a mem bo r over sinco tho beginning of the or ganization, and he had never heard pol itics discussed at a meeting of a post. Men of all creeds and beliefs, religions and political, were hero brothers. All we ask is that they continue to be loyal to tho samo Hag that wo all marched under during tho war. If ho had his way, the flag would bo planted over every court house, church and school houso in the land. He urged every old soldier to become a member of the G. A.R. Dr. Martin of Kearney, spoke in behalf of tho boys of west Nebraska, extending a cordial welcome to Commander Weis- sari, ami congratulated uoiumnus on having tho honor of entertaining tho commander, and also of having ono of our fellow citizens, Col. J. R. Meagher, appointed on the commander's staff. Major T. S.
