One of the Great Lawyer.
Mr. Webster, after he had read the reso
lutions, delivered the principal oration. In
simple, eloquent and impressive term he
reviewed the life and career of Mr. Wool
worth, whom he ranked with the greatest
lawyer of hi day. He told of hi appear
ance before tho United State supremo
court at the age of S3, when Roger G.
Tai ey waa chief Justice. He also told of
hi association at the bench with the most
eminent attorney of the time. In the
couiae of hi address Mr. Webster said:
His friendsh.p and association extended
to all Hie great Judge before whom . h
appeared, but It wa not confined to Ih-se
He avuilcd liimselt of every desirable op
portunlty of cultivating the acqualntanc,
and friendship of great mon In whatever
calling, and either la public, official oi
private life. He gathered knowledge fron.
their conversation and wisdom from thaii
example and teaching. What he "ice
learned he utilised to greater advantaite
as ' men enhance I tie value of precUiu
met. Is by reiinement and application t'.
new uee.
Mr. Woolworth was particularly a chan
eery lawyer. He did not po.ses that km J
of oratory by which he might he put In
comparison with men who became known
as celebrated advocates. He did not pos
sess the qualities that make the distin
guished Jury lawyer. It was not his cus
tom to endeavor to play with the paslo-s
or the prvjui:ces of the people In the oi:rt
room. He had a higher conception of his
duty as a lawyer.
It has been said that In these modern
times the law ha become a series of
petrified preoedente. but with Mr. Wool-
orib the law wa a science, made up ef
legal principle. HI mental temperament
wa judicial. If h hd been a member
of the supreme court of the United Btaten
he would have been recognlxed a a great
Judge, and history would have pieced hi
name upon an equal elevation with the
great men who have rraoed that tribunal
during the nation' history ef more than
lw years.
Mr. Woolworth recognized the great truth
which I wish all young lawyer would un
derstand, that the only way to success In
the law I a hard and laborious road to
travel.
Eulogies by Other.
Judge W. D. McHugh followed Mr.
Webster, saying In part:
"The standing of Mr. Woolworth a a
lawyer Is the Inspiration for such a meet
ing a thla for the quick a well a the
dead. I wish to call attention to the spe
cial characteristics of Mr. Woolworth,
whereby he attained his high standing In
the American bar. He wa never over
whelmed by the situation which con
fronted him, nor wa the tranquillity of his
mind disturbed by any difficulties embody
ing the spirit of the law. He knew the
law, waa adequate to It and looked at
the situation with a level eye. He bo
Ueved th..law to be the remedy for every
evil, and had the masterly courage of his
convictions."
"It 1 with a sens tr profound and
personal bereavement that I pay thla trib
ute of words to Mr. Woolworth," said
Charle J. Greene. "He wa one of the few
to achieve national distinction in the
practice and profession of the law. He
wa Indeed a great lawyer. He wa bora
and bred a gentleman and reared In a
school of classical culture."
Judge Eleaaer Wakeley followed with an
Interesting sketch of the early career of
Mr. Woolworth a a young lawyer and
elaborated upon hi growing worth through
the fifty year of hi practice at the bar
which he so honored through two genera
tion. Judge John M. Ragan of Hastings spoke
briefly of Judge Woolworth' life as a man
whose life must not be judged by'-one act,
but a whole. "Not a an advocate or
orator, but a a pleader. He knew the
law. It height, depth and purposes He
wa dignified, but not cold. He preferred
the songs of Homer lnd Virgil to the de
ductions of Darwin and Spencer. He had
no Utopls.n dreams, but revered the reign
of the law."
Arthur C. Wakeley closed the eulogies
with brief address, after which Judge Mun
ger announced that the resolution pre
sented , by the committee expressed the
sentiments of "this court" and that they
would b placed upon th permanent rec
ord of the United State circuit and dis
trict court.
Judge Reaick spok briefly la eulogy 'of
Mr. Woolworth on behalf of the Judges of
the Nebraska district courts and stated
that the resolution would be placed upon
the permanent record of the tate courts.

"The estimated loss in fare by the Har-

"The figure given are based on the volume
of travel in the territory affected last year
ihts will be largely offset by the increased
travel attracted by the low rate and
eventually will be wiped out by the effect
in bringing additional settler Into New
Mexico, Arlxona, Nevada and Callfornl
I he reduction wa made voluntarily with
this Idea In view. Through travel wa not

Good lass of Settlers.
D. Clem Deaver, In chorgo of th home

cessful trip to Seneca, whore he found
some splendid farm for several settle! s.
"What pleaerrs me more than Anything
else Is the class of people we are getting

last party I took out were two persona
with $10,0(0 each to use In improving the
tW acre they get for practically nothing.
We keep track of the land forfeitures and

A townslte company has been formed
at Stromsburg, with Victor E. Wilson at
the head, to push the sale of lot and fo
build up the town of Mohler, on the Union
Pacific' new line from Stromsburg to
Central City. This site wa determined
upon and an application made to the
pcstofTtc authorities that It b called
Mohler. Thl waa don without the
knowledge ef Mr. Mohler, and th first
Information he had of tli matter Wa
when he read In the paper that a tontt
was to be named after him. The backers
of the enterprise hope to make this quit
a city, as It Is In the midst of a great
agricultural country.
Steel Mall Car.
The Union Pacific will soon have steel
car for the mall clerks who run on that
line. The loss of life of mall clerks ha
becomo so great that they are making a
united effort to Induce the adoption of steel
cars on road ail over the United States.
The construction of the wooden cars now
in use costs approximately $6,000 and the
rental for th first year practically pays
for the same. Ine co;t of a steel car la
