on filthy, crowded cars and steamers dur
ing nearly two years of exposure to sun,
rain, wind and dust, so much worn, frayed,
tattered and torn, aa well as riddled by
bullets In former, battles snd skirmishes,
that It had to be' replaced by a new one
and waa sent home to the state capltol. '
I had ths honor to servt, under this old
flag ail a member of Company C from Ati
gust t 1SB1. and was one of Its color guards
at the battle of Shlloh.
At the first reunion of the regiment after
the war (February 28, 1890. at Plattsmouth,
Neb., twenty-three years, seven months and
twenty-six days after the regiment was
mustered out, and twenty-six years and
about ten months after the flag was sent
home), when the old banner waa sent from
the state house at Lincoln to be seen and
grei ted by the men, then boys, who had
carried and defended it, but who had not
seen It during all these years, I was selfish
enough to accept from a comrade this piece
which he found already almost detached
and urged me to take and keep. I did
take and keep It, although I confessed to
Mm at the time that I felt guilty of a
great wrong done to my comrades and the
state. (.The flag hud been entrusted to his
care by the govtrnor.) Now. to better pre
serve It, together with a statement or its
travels taken from my own original Journal
kept by me during each day of the war, I
have written this account, caused It to be
put In type and the whole sealed under this
glass.
- The regiment served out Its three years,
re-enllsted in the spring of 1HS4, and was
finally mustered out July 1. lfW6, at Omaha.

Another Wildcat In Slant.
' Frank Pravenek of West Point sent to
Auditor Weston todsy a $600 Insurance pol
icy Issued by the Oreat Britain Insurance
company. Accompanying it was a letter
saying he had paid $6 premium thereon, but
had lately found out that the auditor had
compelled the agent at West Point to cease
doing business because the concern be
longed to the wildcat list Deputy Babcock
has prepsred. This policy wss Issued
through the Chicago office of the Company
and an Investigation will be Instituted to
discover whether or not the company haa
been trying to evade the payment of license
fees by sending an agent from the district
efflcs through the state.
Needs More Money.
...Commissioner Follmer went out to the
penitentiary this morning to examine ths
condition of that Institution. The other
members of the Board of Public Lands and
Buildings were unable to accompany him.
He ssys that It will require $30,000 more to
place the Institution In proper condition.
At present tbe walls of the administration
building are barely completed and all of
the Interior work Is yet to be done before
It can be occupied. The warden and the
executive staff still occupy a little frsme
shed outside the walls, and the records are
not in a safe condition. The new cell house
has proved more costly thsn wss antici
pated, because of the greet advance In
steel In the past eighteen months, but It Is
well worth the money, thinks the commit
sloner. The penitentiary was burned In
February, 1901, snd the work of replacing It
Is not mors than half completed now. The
new legislature will be asked to appropriate
the needed money.

IND THE LODGE FUNDS SHORT
William H. Till Arrested at the In.
stance of Workman IOilae
at Hamboldt.
HUMBOLDT, Neb., Nov. 11. (Special.)
William H. Till, who has been a resident
of Humboldt for many years, and who
Is quite well known throughout this part
f the state by reason of his connection
with various secret societies In the ca
pacity of organizer, was arrested last night
at a late hour by Deputy Sheriff Hansel!
nd taken to Falls City to answer to a
hargo of embezzlement, preferred by the
representatives of Humboldt lodge. No. 5,
Ancient Order of United Workmen. Mr.
Till has for the last half dozen years been
nsncler of the lodge and It Is asserted
by the committee having the matter In
charge that he Is short In his accounts over
$200. Two other orders also suffered at the
hands of Till, tbe Odd Fellows and Knights
and Ladles of Security, but the Indebted
ness to the former lodge Is secured amply.
In the esse of the Knights and Ladies of
Security, however. Till occupied the posi
tion of collector, and tbe head officers of
the local council were surprised at the
close of October to receive a notice from
the national council of the suspension of
he entire lodge on account of non-pay
ment of dues, to cover the September as
sessment. As this money had all been

lgatlon waa at once placed on foot and
the discovery was made that the money had
not been sent away. The October assess
ment had by this time all been collected
with the exception of a few dollars, upon
which payment was stopped. An Investi
gation In this order revealed an alleged
shor.tage of about $750, with only a small
bond to protect the lodge. He Is a man
about 50 years of age, has a wife and three
children In this city, and has always been
considered straightforward and honest by
his acquaintances, to many of 'whom ths
prosecution came ss a decided shock. He
was engaged In business pursuits In this
city several years sgo, but proved unsuc
cessful In two Instances, and. since then
bss devoted his entire time to work In the
Interests of the secret societies.

the committee were pacified and believed
that the location was the best.

brick and underneath will be two fine store
rooms. Back of these store rooms will be

NEW YORK, Nov. 11. Citizens of this
city were astonished Saturday evening, says
a dispatch from La Pat, Bolivia, via Taons,
Chill, when government officials posted
throughout the town placards which de
clared the whole republic of Bolivia In a
state of siege, owing to the country being
threatened.
The decree caused intense excitement be
cause of the unexpectedness of the an
nouncement and Ignorance of the reason
for the government adopting such a step.
Two rumors were heard. One was that
the Bolivians had been completely defeated
In Acre. Tbe other report was that 2,000
Peruvians were on the frontier near the
Madre De Dlos river.

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE
To Physicians and Patients Alike.
Dr. Redmond, a specialist is the study

tbs new discovery for the cure of piles,
was the most remarkable remedy he had
ever seen or tried in one respect, and that
was the Instant relief experienced In all
cases, no matter how severe, from the mo
ment be remedy was applied; this wss the
more surprising to him because he had
carefully analyzed the preparation and no
trace of opium, cocaine or similar poison
could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor upon
the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it Is rap-
I Idly taking the place of surgical operatlona
and because It is so simple, so easily ap
plied and contains no mineral or other
poisons so commonly used in pile cures.
Dr. Esterbrook reports that the Pyramid
Pile Cure not only cures the various forms
of plies, but never fails to give Immediate
relief on the first application, no matter
how severe tho pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles for
years are often astonished at the Instant
relief experienced from the first applica
tion. Another important advantage is the
fact that anyone can use the remedy with
out detention from business or Interference
with dally occupation.
Mr. J. W. Rollins of Sweet Springs, Mo.

Capt. E. A. Watson, M. E., 48 Elizabeth

"Peruna has my heartiest endorsement.
If there Is any place that you are helpless
when ill It is on board a steam'er, at sea,
miles away from any assistance. Some
times two or three of my men would be
sick at one time and seriously cripple the
force, but since we have learned of the
value of Peruna, by taking a few doses
they recuperate very quickly. We use it
for cold, lung trouble and kidney diseases,
and have also found it very fine tor ,1a

"I have carried Peruna on board with me
for many seasons. Seven years 'ago. Te
runa cured me of bronchial catarrh."
Captain Watson says: "Sometimes two
or three of my men would be sick at one
time, and seriously cripple the force, but
since we have learned the value of Perunn,
they recuperate very quickly. We use it
for colds lung trouble and kidney dlsraso.
and have found it very fine for the grip."
The sailor's vocation is a healthy one.
He escapes all the ills due to poor venti

be far away from drug stores and doctors,
they have a remedy on which they can rely.
