SISTERS OLDEST SETTLERS Mesdames Catherine Jewett and Martha Graham Came in 1852. CROSSED IOWA WITH OX TEAM Made Home. In Sarpy County When the F.ntlre Country Surround. Ins; Was Occnpled hy '.' Indian Tribe. The long debated question of who. In point of years of residence. Is the oldest settler,' was settled when at the head quarters of the Nebraska Pioneer's asso ciation, Mesdames Catherine Jewetf and Martha E. Graham of Papillion reg istered. These women were the daughters of Jonas Mitchell, government black smith at Bellevue. With their parents, early in the spring of 1S52, they crossed Iowa with an ox team, coming from Bur lington. ' When they reached Nebraska, Catherine was 10 and Martha 6 years of age. Tliey have resided in Sarpy county continuously elnce 1852. At the time Peter Sarpy was trader at Bellevue, which was an Indian camp, the whole, platte river country was occupied by the Pawnees. Omaha was then a site occupied by an Indian village. The parents of the Graham daughters dlod many years ago. After a mottling visit with each other, the out-of-town visitors went to South Omaha as the guests of the Cudahy Packing company. They were dlnnered at thn packing plant.

Karnani Street Lot Gratis. Marion Clark, a resident of the state since 1855, told of the early Omaha. As he remembered it fifty-nine years ago there ware a dozen or more squalid , shanties upon the townslte and his father was of fered the choice of a Farnum street lot If he would erect a building thereon. The father did not consider the offer worth the cost and went to De Sota, a point that has long since ceased to exist except as a natoe. Frank J. Carson of Nebraska City laid claim to the longest residence In any one place. In 1854 his father took a claim Just outside the town limits of Nebraska City and thereon Mr. Carson has always resided.

The correspondent of the Dally Mail at Marseilles In a dispatch dated last Saturdny, but which was de layed hy the censor, describes the landing of the Indian troops who, he says, are all anient for the cause for which the king and his allies rue fighting. He says: "To see fully a score of transports glide from the bav Into the dock and mnrtr .t their appointed stations was an imposing sight and at the same time a splendid tribute to the perfection of British or ganisation. Hut the grand spectacle was yet to come. In almost as short a apace of time as it takes to tell It the decks of this wonderful fleet of shts were alive with Soldiers und in a matter of a few hours the trying work of disembarkation had been completed without slip or' ac cident. "The French officers were amaied at the remarkable smoothness with which the operations proceeded and were not slow In thoir expressions of profound admiration. "The voyage from India had been mads under excellent conditions and the troops, who literally leaned ashore, were fighting men to the last ounce, hard, fit and ready. Had the word of command "been given to march straight' from the quay to the fighting line they were ready to go. "Not a few of the Sikhs," lithe, black bearded giants are deeply concerned to know if I thought that the war would be over before they could get to grips with the common enemy and It was a burden off their minds whan I assured them there was absolutely no likelihood of anything or the kind coming to pass. Kallecloseoplc Scene. "Never has the port of Marseilles, used as it Is to cosmopolitan crowds and the multicolored habiliments of Africa, wit nessed a scene so kaleidoscopic as that presented today by the defiling of thous ands ' after thousands of soldiers down seemingly numberless gangways and along quays lit up by brilliant sunshine. "All the troops are in khaki with very little perhaps a green or white Inter woven band In the head dress to distin guish one regiment or rather' one caste from another. Tho stuff is lighter In tex ture and color than that used In the equipment of the home army and imparts a smarter appearance to the wearer. "The white officers who are in com mand .are of the highest type of soldier and there was something noble and de lightful In the officers walking through Marseilles with their troops, enroute to the rest camps, when they might well have ridden. "One very Important fact whinh must not be lost sight of Is that this great expeditionary force from the Orient la thoroughly trained, according to the most moaern ideas and equipped with first class machinery of war. Everything h been brought from India, cannon, rifles, entrenching Implements, sleeping rugs, tents and a hundred and one necessaries ' An Indian army, down to the Dray in mat. Pletnre Is Impressionable. "The scene In town when th. tmnm marched through to the different camp- ing grounds were unforgettable. Every man, woman and child In Marseilles turned out and their Aumbers wr swelled by people who had rushed in from tne surrounding country districts. In fact the streets were seathlng masses of nigniy excited humanity. The excitement of the hlfirh-Htruns' Latins rapidly spread to the Indians, and It was an unique experience to see hun dreds of martial warriors, bearded men wnose hair was shot with gray, and beardless youtha, Jump a yard high In tho air for sheer Joy. Old women fought with the men for the honor of shaking hand. with the bronsed soldiers and young girls threw sweet smelling flowers in their path or pinned pink roses on their tunica and turbans and even stuck them into the Indians long hair. In response the dark eastern eyes beamed their great content and rows of white teeth flashed from laughing mouths. "By evening they were all encamped In the picturesque nark with mrkv heights, reminiscent of their faraway hUla, around them, and In the moonlight groups of Marseillaise stood on all Vin cent roads, watching with unflagging In terest the strange eastern rites of these magnificent fighting men from Britain's great dominion."

Advertis-emnt. t OMAHA, Oct. 2.-To the Editor of Tho Bee: The understgned,who were present during the taking of the testimony before the judiciary committee of the Board of Education last July, In respect to the charge, filed by three citizens of Omaha against the principal of the Omaha High School of Commerce, respectfully submit the following statement: In explanation of our attendance at the trial we will say that 'iur attention was called to the serious kiature of tho charges and to the fact thai the hearing was to be private aud the wltnessc admitted and examined, separately. Knowing that many women and girls, if required to ap pear alone before a committee of men to testify in respect to such matters, would be greatly embarrassed and probably would not have tho courage to slate all the facts; and realizing lfw Important the hearing was both to the public and to the accused, we sought and obtained VEST WRITES FROM COAST FOR LITERATURE ON OMAHA J.

Two of us were present at all sessions, except one evening suasion at which boys only were examined, and the third mem ber of the committee was present at a i considerable number of the sessions. We agreed (among ourselves that, we would wait until after the report of the Judiciary committee had been filed with the Hoard of Education and finally dis posed of, beforo making any comment on the testimony. Had that report met with our approval we should not consider It necessary to make any statement, but as It not only finds that the charges had not been s"- ftulned by the evidence, but states that "nothing was proved that would In the least reflect upon the character, morals or high standing of trie accused as a gentleman and teacher"' we cannot let It pass, as our silence would Indicate that we agreed with the finding, which we de not. j While the evidence -wac not sufficient to convict the accused of nny erlmlnal act, and much of the test'mon wan ooiv fllctlng, there, was a , large volume of well-supported evidence not contradicted except by the accused himself, which,- In our opinion, clearly. established the fart that the accused had on many occasions been guilty of Indiscretions which should not be tolerated In any .person holding a position of trust and responsibility In our public schools. Considering the testimony as a whole we cannot understand how it ran be claimed that the accused habitually con ducted himself In that manly, dignified and upright manner so essential in every teacher and head of ' department If our public schools are to maintain their high standard. It niunt be bom in mind Oiat the working force must be above sus picion or the moral tone of the schools will certainly be lowered. The subsequent dismissal of one and the demoting of four of the teachers who testified against the accused by a ma jority of the teachers' committee of the Board of Education, without the filing of charges or the formality of a hearing, compels us in Justice to say that, to the best of our Judgment, the five teachers who have been thus punished testified truthfully and with the best of motives. No one has questioned that all are wo men of good moral' character, of high standing In the eommui.lty and thor oughly competent for the positions which they have heretofore held. MRS. J. II.
