The spirit of patriotic zeal and loyalty to country evinced by your prompt action Is most commendable anil challenges the admiration and approbation of your fellow citizens. Nebraska lias just cause to be proud of her citizen soldiery. A crisis In the International afTnlrtt of our nation has necessitated a call to arms for the maintenance of national honor and In tegrity. Our government has heard the call of the unhappy Cubans struggling for civil nnd political freedom ; has hearkened to the cry of distress from thousands of women and children perishing la misery and star vation. The president has called for 125,000 volun teer soldiers , apportioned among the states of the union according to population , to eorvo in the army for two years , unless sooner discharged. Nebraska's quota Is two regiments of Infantry , and the presi dent has expressed preference for the Na tlontxl Guard of the state. In pursuance of the president's proclamation , the twc regiments of the Nebraska National Guard tiavo been mobilized at Camp Alvln Saun- ders. The government Is now ready to im-ster Into the United States volunteer army service , the troops allotted to Ne braska , and you will soon cease to bo guards men of Nebraska and become soldiers of the nation.

It Is a voluntary act upon your part , as the words Imply , when you become a soldier In the Nebraska volunteers. Thousands arc clamoring for permission to take up arms and you of all Nebraskans are chosen because - cause your service In the National Quart baa rendered you best qualified for the serv ice. This will afford au opportunity for you to do your part In demonstrating again th wisdom of our government's policy , main talned since Its formation , of keeping only n small standing army in times of peace relying In times of necessity llko this upoi tbo citizen soldiery of the land to furnlsl a greater army to protect the flag from ul threatened dangers. I have no doubt whatever but your ready response , your valor and your patrlotlsn will further confirm the now settled con vlctlon of the people of this country tha tire re are no better , braver or truer soldier than the great body of patriotic , Intelll gent and courageous citizens , ready nt al tlmea to take up arms In defense of lib erty and country.

Aimnlelottn Opening for the Boiith O in aim Athletic AHiioelntlon. The South Omnhn Athletic association nst night opened tip very nusplclously. A ilcc little program was pulled off despite the fact that the main event of the evening , a go between George Kcrwln of Chlcngo ami Billy Lambert of Davenport , bail to bo called off on account of the Intter's noiinti- pcnrancc. The management squared llio uulleiice , which numbered very nearly 700 , y announcltiK that nny one who was ills- sntlstled with the program as rendered coiilil secure a ticket for the next cnler- nlnmcnt by applying or communicating vllh the president. The preliminary bout wns between Fred O'Neill of this city and Jim Hart of DPS Molncs , anil was an easy thing for the former. After a llttlo flildllng O'Neill went iftcr his man anil had him on the Moor lie- ore the round was over. In the pci'ond round he followed lip his advantage anil a veil directed blow on the Jaw brought Hart ' : o Ills knee In n minute. The latter wns np- mrently outi'lnsseil and the bout was given to O'Neill. Hart only lilt O'Neill twice. The Clmlfon brothers wcro In O'Neill's 'orner ' anil Jim Ford nnd Jim Adams were ilart's seconds. Homer Kirk wns referee nnd Patsy Fallen timekeeper. A corking wrestling match between Ru dolf Havclka of this rlty anil Fretl Smith of Polornilo followed. The local man agreed to seeure three falls Inside of thirty minutes and won handily. He hail Smith on his | shoulders for the llrst down In two minutes nnd forty-five siconds by means of a half Nelson ; secured the second fall in six min utes anil eleven seconds through sheer strength , and a hnmmerlock won him the third fall In live minutes anil forty seconds. Smith was wiry and quick , but was no nmtch for the Omaha man. Hnvclkn wns Klvcn the decision , having made the three falls In fourteen minutes anil thirty-six sec onds. The final event , a twelve-round bout bc- h\een Jim Adams of PlttuburK nnd Frank Crozler of Columbus , wns alone worth the [ irico of admission. Both men wcro In good trim. For the first part of the llrst round lumors were even , but after a minute's rat- tltnK peed lighting Ailams commenced to force matters. He Inndeil several times on Ciozlor's wlnil , anil Just before the round closed brought both bands on his opponent's month In meetliiK a rush. This angered Crozler , nnd In the second round ho went nt Adams In n hammer-and-tongs manner , re- cclvlng ns n rewnnl hard Jabs In the Jaw nnd ribs. The bout wns going Adams' way easily , but Crozler commenced to foul nnd on that ground the decision wns awarded Ailnins. Adams looked to weigh nrontul ICO ut least , while Crozler wns several pound * lighter. Billy Lambert anil Jim Clmlfon looked after Adams' Interests , whllo Fred O'Neill and Jim Chnlfon were back of Crozler. Patsy Fallen rofereed. At the conclusion of the program Clmlfon nnd AdaniH called off the match they hail mailc , but promised to draw up new articles of agreement for a meeting In the near fu ture.
