FIGHTING SEVENTH ON DECK
Well Known Weitern Regiment Hers
for the Festivities
ORGANIZED DURING CIVIL WAR
Haa Many Men Amoi It Nimlxf
Who Ilava Sera Hral Flchtlnc
(or the Honor o( tha
United States.
An historic regiment la encamped at
Fort Omaha, a regiment whose etory
niaKes a purtirular appeal to Omaha and
the weat beojine this Is a western regi
ment, org.iiilxed in the west and stationed
in the wrst most of the time since ita
formation.
This la the Seventh United States cav
alry. Colonel George J. Hunter, com
manding. Tno Seventh cavalry eame Into being In
lstxi. under the act o( July 28 of that year.
The regiment was organised and recruited
at Fort Riley, Kan., where it is now
stationed following three, yeara at Chlcka
mauga, Tenn., this last the only .time It
has left the weat except tor service In
Cuba and the Philippines.
A may be readily Inferred from the fact
of this western service the Seventh has
been an Indlan-flghtlng regiment. It met
the redskins aa long aa any hosltlea re
mained and not always either with com
plete success, for this is the regiment of
the gallant Custer, who with his man met
death at the LIttU Dig Horn, June 26,
1H7S. Other Indian battles In which the
regiment fought were Washita, Bear Paw
and Wounded Knee, besides 100 minor engagement.
It waa at Wounded Knee, General For
ay the commanding, that the survivors of
the Seventh avenged th Custer massacre.
The battle of little Big Horn is perhaps
tba most memorable event in the centuries
of warfare between tha Indian and the
white man on American soil. Hardly any
one who does not recall bow Custer, spa
rated from Reno's command, fought all
lay agalnat aa overwhelming; force of In
dians and died with all bis men.
Few events nave ao stirred the country.
Not until the Maine waa Wowed up In
Havana harbor did the United States ex
perlence a Ilka thrill, uurlng tha yeara of
Indiau fighting the regiment waa many
times a (art at tba somoiaad of Qeaaral
Miles and of Creek, the really great In
dian fighter of the regular army and for
whose prowess tha the red man had a
e grater respect than for any other white
soldier. The fort to the south of Omaha
is of course named for the chieftain.
Mleaed Home Fighting;.
During the fighting In Cuba, the men of
tha Seventh were swearing like the army In
Flanders, beoause the regiment was not
sent to tha Island until San Juan had fallen
and a protocol had been signed. The
Seventh waa kept In tha United States dur
ing this time and went to Cuba as part of
tha army of oecupatlon when hostilities
had ended.
The regiment saw service In the Philip
pines from 1301 to 1Mb Inclusive and then
went to Tennessee. How highly tha civil
ians there Uked tha regiment is attested
by a aet of silk colors, standard and squad
ron guidons, which were presented when
tha Seventh was about to leave.
Although the regiment as a whole didi
not get Into action In Cuba, many of Its
officera did. being then in other regiments.
Among these waa Colonel Hunter, then
a captain In the Third artillery. He re
ceived a Spanish bullet In tha leg while
charging; un San Juan hill.
Tha regiment has a living link with the
civil war In tha person of Captain Flts
hugh Lee, grand-nephew of Robert E. Lee,
and son of that Fitxhugh Lee, who was
consul genera) at Havana before tha Span
ish war and a mojor general commanding
an army corps during tha following con
flict. It la an open secret In tha officers'
mess that Captain Fltshugh Lee grows very
very weary of being referred to as tha son
of his father and tha nephew Of hla grand
uncle. Thla feeling I quite natural, for
Captuln Lee baa an honorable military
record of his own.
In army elrclea the best known man in
tha regiment Is Captain 8. R. H. Tompkins,
laevltably known as Tommy" Tompkins.
Captain Tompkins has only been with the
regiment for a mere twenty-five yeara and
knowa and la known by mora army officers
than any other commissioned man. His
popularity la aa widespread aa hla acquaint
ance. "Children cry for him," declare
facetloua assocllatea
T we lasaireas.
The regiment ia represented here by two
squadrona and these offtoera:
Colonel George J. Hunter, commanding
officer.
Captain T. A. Roberta, adjutant
8cond Lieutenant n. M, Williams, quarter
master. Captain 8. R. H. Tbompklna. command?

Second Lieutenant W. C. F. Nicholson.

Second Lieutenant Dwlght Shurtlnff.
Second Lieutenant Robert iiurkett, sur

Veterinary J. J. Jeffries.
The Seventh will take an active part In
tha military tournament thla week and Its
offlcera Join with tha othera In extending
an Invitation to Omaha and the rest ol the
atate to come to the maneuvers and exer
cises. But tha regiment cannot permit vis
itors to roam around the tents where all
have their temporary homes.
'It is like this,' said Captain and Adju
tant Roberts. "The souvenir hunter is
many In the land and like tha locust, he
devours what ever offers. Recently we all
had some unpleasant experiences along this
line. Nearly all the shoulder and collar
ornaments were abstracted and when we
came to dress found hardly enough to put
on."

New Counterfeit
Bill Circulating
Treasury Bn;artment Sends Out
Warning A&iinst Spurious Ten
DoJUr Bills.
A new counte.-f it $10 national bank note
la In circulation. A warning from the
Treasury department at Washington was
received at tha secret service office in the
federaJ building thla morning telling busi
ness men as well as bankers to examine
carefully all 110 notes before taking them in
payment or aa deposits.
The new counterfeit is on the Pasadena
National bank of Pasadena, Cal., and bears
the likeness of McKlnley, It Is a deceptive
counterfeit, particularly as to the face,
according to the description of it sent out
by tha Treasury department. It is appar
ently reproduced by the photo-etching
prcceaa and Is well printed on two piece
of thin paper with particles of silk dis
tributed between. The seal and serial num
bers are a shade darker than on the
genuine, but the most noticeable defects
are on tha back, which is a blue green In
stead of tha proper tint. Some of the fine
lines In tha script on tha fact of the note
have been entirely lost In the etching, giv
ing tha note a pala appearance.
These notes are liable to give the people
of Nebraska a great deal of trouble be
cause at tba proximity ef manufacture.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. a. (Special Corre
spondence.) Aa a direct result of the public
sentiment which has been aroused by the
national good roads convention there haa
been formed In many states In the middle
west organizations to carry on the work
of highway improvement. In several states
this sentiment haa crystallzed into the con
struction of definite projecta.
In the atate of Iowa the highway extend
ing for hundreds of miles which waa tem
porarily built or repaired for the Glldden
tour, haa attracted ao much Interest that
associations have been formed to bring
about the construction of a permanent
highway which shall be of standard width
and cross section, and on which there shall
be a minimum grade. All sharp turns will
be eliminated and It la proposed, as rapidly
aa money becomes available, to construct
a permanent resilient and dUBtless road
surface of the most approved bltuniiiioua
road surface, which shall consist of level
gravel deposits as a matrix Instead of
atone.
In Missouri a similar movement Is under
way for the construction of a trunk line
of highway from the city of St. Louis to
Kansas City. It has been auggested that
the coat of the construction of such a main
artery of travel could be borne entirely
from revenue derived from the granting of
a franchise to a trolley company, connect
ing these two most important cities by
electric car lines Of course, the cross sec
tlon of such a highway would doubtless be
2o0 feet in width, with a trolley line on
either side, anion would be obscured some
what by reason of It being banked by
planting strips upon which would be grown
hedges and long rows of trees. The cen
ter of the highway would be divided to
accommodate horse drawn and motor-driven
vehicles. It la intended to make it not
leas than forty feet in width and com
posed of bituminous road surface, except J
through densely populated cities or dis
tricts, where atone pavement la contem
plated. Mr. George B. Roberts of Pes Moines,
recently appointed director of the mint,
has again fully and comfortably resumed
his residence in Washington. Mr. Roberts
and wife, together with their three chil
dren, Hasnett, aged 17; Miss Amy, sweet
16, and Allison, the youngest son, are do
miciled for the winter at the Ontario,
one of Washington's best apartment
houses, located on tba western heights,
overlooking the city. The eldeat son, Bas
sett, has entered Western High school, and
Allison is enrolled aa a scholar at one of
the public schools in tha vicinity of his
home. Miss Amy la to enter one of the
several seminaries of Washington for
young ladles some time In October, her
parents not yet having decided upon the
particular school she will attend.
Louis A. Clapp of ahlonega, la., who
came to Washington some time ago to at
tend the golden wedding anniversary of
hia sister, Mrs. Louise A. Mendel, left
Tuesday for New York, and after a short
stay there will go to Columbus, O., to visit
relatives. Tint is Mr. Clapp's first visit
east since lie moved to Iowa fifty-five
yeara ago.

Coe went through the Ames Hm. ri...,
than looked good to the Aggie rooters. The
