K. Jlosewater spoke to the children of the
Mason school for nearly half an hour,
dwelling chiefly upon conditions preceding
the civil war, tta causes, progress, termi
nation and results. He handled his subject
for the most part from the standpoint of a
personal observer of the Incidents to which
he referred. Touching reference was made
to the scenes attendant upon the departure
of the soldiers from their homes and family
circles and the speaker quoted on this
point from Ingersoll'a wonderfully truthful
and eloquent picture drawn in his Memo
rial dny address nt Indianapolis In 18$!,
one of the most pathetic tributes ever paid
to the memory of the soldiers.
Mr. Roscwatcr dwelt especially upon tbe
unswerving, kyalty of the common soldier,
recalling how the volunteers rushed to the
front at the call of their country in num
bers greater than were demanded, and
quoted from Lincoln's first message of July
4, 1S8I, wherein tbe president said that
"One of the greatest perplexities of the
government Is to aVold receiving troops
faster than It can provide for them." Ref
erence was also made to Lincoln's tribute
to the common soldier In that same mes
sage, wherein he said:
It Is worthy of note that while In this
government's hour of trial largo numbers
of those In the army and navy who have
been favored with the ofdees have resigned
and proved false to the hand which hud
pampered them, not one common soldier
or common sailor Is known to have de
serted the flag. Great honor la due to
thoso officers who remained true despite
the example of their treacherous associ
ates, tout the greatest honor and most Im
portant fact of all Is the unanimous firm
ness of the common soldiers and common
sailors. To the last man. so far as known,
they have successfully resisted the traitor
ous effort ot thoso whose commands but
an hour before they obeyed as absolute
law. This Is tho partrlotlc Instinct of 'he
people.
Mr. Rosewater'i talk was replete with In
teresting and significant Incidents drawn
from personal contact with the contending
elements both In the- north and south. He
recalled having seen Jeff Davis on his way
to his Inauguration as president ot the con-
An Interview with Grant
John Swlntou, a distinguished Journalist
and war time correspondent, tells In tbe
New York Independent of tbe first Inter
view ho had with Oenerat Grant. He say6
It my memory Is a safe guide In this
case, It was not long after the fall ot Fort
Donclson (1S62) when I first saw General
Grant. He had come from the west to
New York on a visit, which was to be quiet
and brief, and he sent word to me by his
younger brother, Orvll, with whom I was
acquainted, that he would like to see me.
It was arranged that I should meet him
net forenoon in the waiting room of tbe
Astor bouse, at which hotel he had put up.
I was then on the editorial staff of the
New York Times, a writer of military ar
ticles, and I remember that I Indulged In
sundry conjectures when on my way to the
hotel. Perhaps General Grant desired to
give me some military Information that
would be useful to a writer tor a Journal
to whlcb Mr. Lincoln often gave political
Information, Perhaps he desired to ex
press his pleasure at tbe way In which
the Tl.lics had repeatedly spoken of bis
exploits. Perhaps be desired to ask about
something appertaining to military politics
that might Im known to an editor of a
newspaper which was regarded as the or
gan of Mr. Seward.
General Grant bad hiiddenly sprung from
obscurltv and bad become a martial hero.
He had, lu a time of bad luck, discourage
ment and gloom, captured the great rebel
bulwark of Fort Donclson, the first bril
liant and substantial victory won by the
federal arms, Perhaps be waned to talk
ot that, and to tell me something more
nbout It than had then been printed,
I can recall yet other conjectures in
which I Indulged while walking down
Broadway from the Union Square hotel (o
the Astor house.
Up to that time the only gieat military
commander I had ever seen was General
Wlnfleld Scott, the soldier ot majestic
prwencj, gorgeous wig and paramount
headgear, who, when a candidate for the
presidency In 1SS2, bad been nicknamed
"Fuss and Feathers,"
I had supposed that, when I met Gen
eral Grant. I should see a person ot not
less impressive style, Tbe papers then
did not print eevrybody's picture, as some
of them do now.
When I got to the Astor house I saw my
friend. Orvll Grant, In the waiting room,
sitting near the window beside another
t it, who was looking out on Broadway,
wlirr- a swarm of pedestrUns of both
acxt:, as vull as sUny ot eaifl!iu).s and
"deracy. and spoke of the conditions of
slavery theu prevailing in the south. He
pictured tbe almost Indescribable condition!
following the war. when hardly one woman
out of ten one nut was not In mourning for
roue near and dear relative, showing lis
far-reaching effect, and how In many cltle
he visited there was crepe upon tbe doors
and shutter of almost every home.
In drawing lcstons of patriotism from the
conduct of American soldiery the speaker
referred also to some of the Incidents of
the late war and tho promptitude and ef
fectiveness with which the call for volun
teer soldiers was answered.
Ma or .Moore TnlU.
Mayor Prank K, Moores spoke at St. t
Mary Magdelene school. He laid particular I
stress upon tho Importance of the observ
ance of Memorial day by children, saying
In part:
It Is a great pleasure to we veterans of
the civil war to fee that the younger gen
erations are not unmindful of the great
service we did the republic. The schools
of the United States are the cradlen of

The High school pupils were addressed by
,s K. Van Huten of Ploux City, Dr. H.
C. Van Olessen and Dr. W. 11. Chris
tie, member of the Doard of Education. Dr.
Van Glesscn said In part.
It Is a patriotic duty tint we owe our
selves and the memory of those who gnve
up their lives that we might enjoy tlif
fruits of their labors this observance ot
Memorial day. This patriotism Is a re
flection In a measure of the patriotism
which took men away from their homes
and their business in order to fight for a
principle. Many ot them made thn great
est sacrifice possible by giving their lives
to ineir country.
The veteran of the civil war fought for
a united country Memorial day. if It nl- 1
ways be observed na it Is today, will be
a bulwark of strength In the continuance
of thl union. We who are being benefited
by the sacrifice and devotion of the men
who fought so nobly and so bravely should
mne pleasure in Keeping auve tne memory
of the veterans who have gone on before
to answer to the last roll call.
Dr. Christie talked at length on the won
derful achievements of the American army
and navy and touched with particular pride
upon the spirit of patriotism which char
acterizes tho citizens of the United States.
He paid glowing tribute to the gallantry
of the battle-scarrod veterans who pre
served this government back in the '60s
when disruption was threatened, and urged
the school children of the present genera
tion to keep uppermost their veneration for
the old soldier. Dr. Christie's address was
well received and made a noticeable im
pression on his hearers.
.Mr, Van llnaen' fiprreh.
Mr. Van Husen spoke on the subject,
"The Civil War as a ftmult of the Contest
for Political Power Between States as They
Were Admitted to the Union."
"I feel that as he was the hero In war
who fought the bravest," said the speaker,
"so he Is tho hero now vho puts the past
In its truest light, does justice to all and
knows no foo but hint who revives the
hates of a by-gone generation."
The speaker disclaimed any virtue of he
roism In presenting historical facts that
led up to the war. He said that tho con
test between freedom and slavery for the
power to be derived from the admission of
the states Into tbe union formed a very
Interesting and Instructive chapter ot our
national history. He reverted to tho fact
that of the original thirteen states six were
free, or soon to become so, while seven
retained the Institution of slavery In the
territory belonging to them. He then
sketched the admission of the states for the
next sixty years, from 17S9 to 1830, show
ing that It was a continuous struggle for
political power, nine slave states and eight
free being admitted to tbe constituent
other vehicles, were passing hither and
thither.
"I want to Introduce you to Ulysjes!"
said Brother Orvll, as the Individual be
side him rose from his chair and shook
hands with me.
Here, then, was the man who was after
ward to be known all over the world as
"Orant."
He bore not the least resemblance to
the lofty, proud, showy soldier of the
Mexican war, General Wlnfleld Scott. He
was an "ordinary" man. He was medium
sized and "stocky." plain-faced, full
bearded, middle-aged (he was Just 40 years
old), and of rather dull countenance. He
looked like a common specimen of tbe
solid American of any country district.
There were no trappings about him; he
had no sword at his side, and, unless I
am mistaken be wore that forenoon either
a "fatigue suit" or the garb of a civilian.
Just like his younger brother.
Both ot us sat down, after exchanging
glances, It seemed to me at first as though
he were 111 at ease.
Now, 1 bad not gone there to "do the
talking," or to "draw him out," or to
"pump" him, or to practice ahy of the
other arts of the Interviewer. I was there
by his Invitation and, as I bad supposed,
to hfar something. When I had learned
from him that he was well, and be had
learned that I was well, there was a pause.
I was in a state of expectancy. To a re
marl; of his brother he made no reply.
After a while he said that It was a lino
day. "It Is. general." There was again
silence for perbapa a minute. When I
mentioned "Fort Donelson" he stalled
grimly, looked out of the window, and
said nothing,
I soon became desirous of knowing why
he had wished that I should call upon him.
Some folks would have been embarrassed,
but I wasnt, though at that time I had
not become aware that hi was noted for
his taciturnity.
When I asked blm sundry inconsequen
tial questions he would merely tura his
face toward me and say "Yes," "No,"
"1 think so," or "I don't know." His
brother tried for a while to draw him
out, but In vain. He moved about in his
chair, noticed nobody, made no slgu, and
held his peace
After a time be turned toward me and
looked me squarely in the face." I ex
pected a revelation of some kind. He
spoke slowly as be asked "Do you think
lmm;grsiion v, ill be heavy this year:" My
answer was o( a vacua character. Acaln
commonwealths and vividly showed the
culmination of the Missouri compromise In
Its repeal In 1SS, which formed the his
torical basis of President Lincoln's memo
rable utterance that America must be all
slave or else all free. ' And so the civil
war was Inevitable." he said, "as the result
of this struggle for political power."
In closing Mr. Van Husen quoted the
words of Senator John W. Daniel of Vir
ginia, In expressing satisfaction that the
south was back again In the union: "We
arc, In fact, In our father's home, and it
should be. as it Is, our highest aim to de
velop its msgnlBcent possibilities and make
It the happiest dwelling place of the chil
dren of men."

Since May 1 to date Colonel Spurgln. re
cruiting ofllcer at Omaha, has enlisted In
the service of the United States sixty-two
recruits, a record seldom equalled at any
station execpt in times of excitement.
The men recruited at Omaha are con
signed to the Twenty-eighth Infantry, form
ing nt Vancouver barracks, Wash., and to
the Thirteenth cavalry being organized at
Fort Meade, S. D. With the exception of
two men all of the Nebraska recruits have
been sent to these regiments. One of the
exceptions was sent to the hospital corps
and the other to Company B, Second Infan
try, stationed at Fort Thomas, Ky. The
man to go to the Second was mustered out
of the service in tbe Philippines last month
and as soon as he arrived at home detlrod
to get back Into the company with which
ho had setved previous to the war In the
east. Tho government permitted hlm to
name his regiment and company.
Under Colonel Spurgln two lieutenants
are now at work in the state of Nebraska,
each accompanied by a non-commissioned
officer. Colonel Derry is visiting the towns
on the Durllngton railroad and Lieutenant
Johnson thoso on the main line ot the Elk-
horn, the former being stationed at Hast
ings and the latter at N'ellgh.
Since the recruiting office was opened at
Omaha February 2, 234 men have been re
cruited at this station and In the towns
surrounding. Of these sixty-two Joined In
February, seventy in March, forty In April
and sixty-two so far in May. In tbe same
time about 150 men have been rejected 'for
various causes.

A little son of A. J. M. Lovelace, 2915
Arbor street, complained to the police
Tuesday that two boys had held him up
during the forenoon while he had been rid
ing his bicycle In Hanscom park, had given
him a severe beating, and when he ran
away, had stolen his bicycle. He said the
boys were brothers and were known In the
neighborhood as the "Jack-Tars-wlth-Whiskers."
Officers made an Investigation and the re
sult was a warrant sworn out for Peter and
John Tarjaczrwekl, charging them with
robbery. The boys are 10 and 12, years old,
respectively, and it Is said that' this Is not
their first offense.

Reminiscence of
War Times.
there was silence, while he looked at noth
ing and seemed to be brooding over some
thing about which be was concerned. 1
was determined not to Interrupt him. I
wished to hear from him. I would wait
till he told me why he had sought to see
me, and till he gave me the private ad
vices about military matters that I had
supposed he meant to give to an ever
anxious writer upon the portentous war
In whlcb he was engaged.
I have no doubt that, at this point of
the narrative, the clever Interviewer of
today will smile at my Incompetence as
an artist In heckling and at my failure to
seize a first-rate chance to get a tip-top
"story" from a hero who had Just sprung
to the front. Why did I not draw him
out as LI Hung Chang would have done?
That Is truly a grave question. I myself
in later years would have cut off any re
porter who missed such an opportunity as
ion to me.
Some time after this pause he again
looKea straignt at rao. Now for some dls
closure! There was "an inquisitive ex
prcsslon on his face. He spoke In a low
tone of voice as he addressed to me th
question: "Do you think that tbe war
win put a stop to immigration?" Tha
was a puzzler for me. I asked him If the
war wouid last long? He said he did not
know.
A;aln there was a pause. The taciturn
roan looked out upou Broadway.
The Interview was ended.
"Goodby, good luck, genetal!" I said
"Glad to see you." he said. He appeared
to be well pleased as we parted.
I left the waiting room, which his brother
naa previously leit, ana went my way
without havlnc found out whv ih r
nowned victor at Fort Donelson had wanted
to see me.
It was after this time that his character
'stlc taciturnity became known all over th
country.
Such, then, was my first Interview with
uenerai urant, at an early period of th
great war.
aoroe time artrrward I was made aware
that he had Indeed desired to see me re
gardlng a matter about which, as he hai
supposed. I mleht nossess Information tha
would be serviceable to hlra at Washing

We Don't Sell Goods-
Without a profit nor does any one. We're
often amused when a lady tells us, "Mr.
So-and-So" offered her a dollar article for
"5 cents. Well, she may get a good 75
cents' worth, but no merchant Is in busi

shopper Is not to buy goods for less than
