Ha It a waiter by profusion. He Is too
youna; to have fouRht In the cItII war. He
aa la Omaha during the 8paDlsh-Amerlcao
war. He never errved on a governor's
ataff. Bo far aa known ha never Ivlonnfd
to a Salvation Army corpa. Then how did
William Bhowera acquire the title of
"colonel?"
The queetlon has been asked ao often
and the eolonoi baa turned It aside ao per
etstentlr that It really becomea a publlo
duty to expose the aecret and ahow the
eolonel la hla true light. With Graver
Cleveland no longer president and the
Cubana benevolently asalmllatexl, the ax
posure oaa be made without the dlaaetroua
renulta that would have attended U a few
years ago.
The colonel has aot alwaya been thua.
There waa a time whan "threa scrambled
and a stack wheats" waa not bis morn
ing oarel and "coffee. atrT" not tba opening
wedae for cress-counter conversation. Ha
baa aald these things so often to ao many
different people In Omaha that tha latter
have come to believe ha haa been doing ao
alwaya. But they ara wrong. There was
time when Bhowera perturbed the
alumbera of-, even the president of the
United States and had the weatera mili
tary oa the qui vlve. How he did It will
furnish a chapter of unwritten but Inter
esting history.
la Hla Kami C3tty Days.
It will be recalled that during Orover
Cleveland's aeoond term aa president all
eyea focused on "bleeding Cuba" and the
American people grew ao sympathetic that
there waa almply no keeping count of the
number of burning resolutions they adopts!
About that time William Showers became
proprietor of the "Four Comers." a Kan
saa City joy works where . thirsty men
came to alt for hours looking for a friend,
a job or any other old excuse for staying.
Showers la a princely jollier now and he
was a princely jollier then. Tba quality
of buncomb be pasaed out to the Renbs from
Kansas waa considerably better than the
quality of nectar he pasaed them, and the
way he rallied the local aparta under hla
banner waa worth riding a long distance
.on the Iowa Central to see. Finally hla
place became headquarters far about twe
thlrde of the alfalfa jugglera ef two etatee
and for a aet of local hot-air weavers that
were had to beat. The hot-air weavera
furnished conversation In exchange for the
nectar tha alfalfa jugglera bought.
In the local contingent waa Perry Kills, a
newspaper correspondeat, who, when he
wasn't busy with hla thirst, waa alwaya
busy with hla Imagination. Eastern yellow
journals wanted thlnga to print and Perry
waa supplying the want. Kansas City being
a drouthy place Itself in war times, he had
to enlarge tha acope of Its Influence. It
waa when be undertook this that he alerted
trouble.
Crop the Correspondent Sewed.
He began aendlng out reports that Cuban
filibustering expeditions were being
equipped In or near Kansas City. He In
' tlmated that the leadera of the junta ren
dezvoused at the "Four Corners." From
the yellow journala tbla report waa cribbed
Into the patent insldea of the country
weeklies and from them Into the unpatented
Insides of the Sunflower farm hands. .They i
beaded for Kansas City and for the Four
Cornera. Their exterior finish would Indi
cate that they were aa peaceable as re
formed ptratea, but under their coata beat
courageous hearts and they burned to
undertake the perilous work of the filibuster
. in a good cause. They were willing to die
for Cuba Libre, 81c Semper Tyrannta, E
Pluribua Unum or anything elae that had
blood In it and a chance to figure la future
Fourth of July oratlona.
At first. Showers didn't know what to do
about it. It aeemed to him the gamo waa
being played a little strong. But the, news
paper men pointed out the flood of ducats
that waa going over the counter and aald
any barkeep who would kick on money
coming that easy would be all kinds of a
foolish person. So Showers got In line
and worked the high algna with the rest.
That Kaw Tewa bunch got their yokel
recruits to believing that tha Four Cornera
was the center of tba greatest secret move
ment for liberty since "Bozzarle ranged
bis Sullote band" In the forest and pre
pared to do thlnga to the dreaming Turk.
Collapse ( tae Colonel.
But finally the rocrulta grew reetlve and
aome ahow of organisation had to be made.
And that la when William Bhowera be
came "colonel." That la alao the
time ' when William Bhowera spoiled
a good thing and brought on a aevere at
tack of atage fright. The. newspaper man
bad printed ao much and faked ao dexter
euely that even the prealdent of the United
St a tea took notice and lasued tha memorable
antl-Bllbusterlng manifesto. Hla action
started trouble right on down the Has sod
hen It reached the United Statea marahal
for that district the United Statea marshal
got busy. His son happened to be some
thing of a rounder and In on the dealings
at the Four Cornera. That Is all that
asved Colonel Bhowera and hla filibuster,
for ths son heard the father planning a
round-up of the Sbowcra patriots and gave
tha tip.
It was at night, and tha word reached
the saloon just twenty minutes ahead of the
marshal and bis deputies. In those twenty
minutes there was an exodus thst best
anything since the incident of the Red Bea
And Colonel Showers wss "at the head of
hla men." They couldn't have passed him
In an automobile. Down a dark alley
they treked, run along a side street anl
finally clear out Into the farm country. A
kind providence and an unsuspecting
farmer had placed a large cornfield at tho
side of the route of retreat and Colonel
Showera went over Us surrounding barbed
wire fence without touching. His filibusters
followed as well aa they" could and the
whole force finally rounded up In the center
of the field.
What the Reeralts Did.
What happened after that Isn't pleasant
to relate. The ground was wet and cold.
The air waa wet and cold. The colonel
waa wet and cold before long, and the
filibusters would have been wet and cold
If they hadn't been ao hot at the colonel.
They began to think thlnga and to talk
plainly and unkindly about tba courage
of their proposed lesder. They told bim
he waa a poor provider and a durned ras
cal. As each one caught cold and began
to sneeze he Invited the colonel to atand
up and be knocked down. But none bad
tha courage to go back to town, and all that
night, the next day and a part of the
next night they shivered and shook and
awore and reproached there In the soggy
furrows. A atraggler came during the day
and told them that the marshal, after
aearchlng moat of the night, bad given up
the hunt. The newspaper man bad given
the filibusters and the marshal both the
alip and waa at a hotel writing things
to make the former famous. But the
former had ceaeed to crave fame. They
wanted "chuck," and they made up tbelr
minds to go back to Kansas, where they
could get It In aafety and without any
cornfield rbeumatlam.
80 Showers' filibusters deserted him and
the eolonel himself had to sneak. When
he found a railroad track leading to Kansas
City he started toward Its other end and
eventually landed In Omaha. He closed
out his business by mall, he wrote the
newspaper man a letter seventeen pagea
long telling htm what he thought of him,
and he resigned his commission In the
filibusters' brigade. He even added that
Cuba Libre could go to the demnltlon bow
wowa, and be doggoned for all he cared.
And that thereafter he wished to be known
just aa plain William Showera. without any
titles that would give the United Statea
marshals a handhold on hia liberty. He
kept hla word, but somehow the title baa
atuck to him just the same, and to thia
day several hundred restaurant patrona In
Omaha who have come te kaow him, al
waya aalute him aa "Colonel." Some of
them don't even know he haa any ether
name, and none of them haa known until
now how he got this one.

Aa a companion article to that giving
a list of Nebraska sons In the army or. tne
United States, herewith Is presented similar
Information concerning thoaa of Its aona
who are wearing the "navy blue" of our
nation's defenders on the sea. Less, per
haps, than the army Is the navy of any
country honored and respected, yet they
are entitled to aa much, if not more, con
sideration and commendation than those
who aerve their nation on the land. Ex
posed to storms and mora dangers by far,
arising from natural causes, they must be
said to be In a degree of danger all of tha
time, whereas the boys in blue In the army
may be aald to be comparatively unexposed
save when actual war la on.
While avery state cannot furnish a Dewey,
yet It la aa much to the credit of Nebraska
that It haa sent Into the navy Ita full quota.
The list Is aa follows:
