There are concentrated Flavoring Extracts
made with best crude ingredients, (that's why
they're so pure and strong.) Bottles are larger
than the customary Grocer's short-measure, flat
sided kind . Take a bottle home if you are not
satisfied bring it back and exchange it for any
other equal-priced goods in the store or get your
money back.

The Return of the Regiment.
That great event upon which the
heart of a people has waited, became
very truth to us of Lincoln on Tuesday
evening at nine.
Through these laBt dragging days the
elow hours have trailed like years to the
mother, whose boys were on the long
trains which climbed the mountains,
Eweptover the long plain and across
Nebraska's fields of corn, Since the
train left San Francisco, Nebraska,
Argus-eyed, haB kept watch westward
and her words to the watchmen have
been, "What of my sons?"
The capital city from whose gates
Nebraska's troops poured out a year
and more ago, held her breath and
waited. Robed in the colors of glory
she sat all day in the midst of her sun
lit plains and watched for the first-born,
until they came witb the night. Before
darkness had fairly settled, multitudes
thronged the streets, pouring in con
verging streams down all the ways to
the Burlington depot. There, as if find
ing a level, they fed a wide, restless,
flood, which poured through the wait
ing rooms, spread itself along tht tracks,
tilled the empty trains and even climbed
to the roofs of surrounding buildings
and cars. Faces looked out from every
window. Southward the viaduct loomed
dimly, its entire length overflowed with
a dark stream of watchers. Down by
the tracks was pandemonium. Above
the ceaseless clamor, of tongueB, the
wail of horns, the uproar and the cheer
ing, the crack, crack of revolvers and
muskets rose, frenzied and shrill, the
never ending ecream of ths steam
whistles. After hours of this nerve
fraying waiting they came. Through
all the tumult pierced the whistle of the
engine, pulling the first section, and as
its gigantic eye came in sight the can
non roared to the people aud the people
roared back. As that great calm eye
drew slowly, slowly nearer, the surging
mass of people went mad, waved their
arms, their hats, enough handkerchiefs
to rig a ship, screamed themselves
hoarse, thus bestowing upon the arrivals
the ultimate evidence of American ap
proval and affection . Strange and much
commented upon fact! What an Ameri
can loves be yells at, with all his heart,
and all his lungs, and all his might.
This is the first American command
ment, and the second U like unto it,
"make all the noise you can." In mark
ed contrast to the excited, gesticulating
crowds through which it came, was the
slow mBJeBtic progress of the train, with
its calmly smiling soldier-boys crowding
the platforms and windows. Slow and
certain as the wheels of the millB of the
gods which has ground ub out such a
strange grist this year past. As thiB
train pulled in, stopped and a thin
stream of blue could bo seen here and
there threading the crowd whoso units
crushed each other to raako room, as
they do in other lands when royalty
passes. And not mistakenly, for that
faded blue is indeed the nation's purple,
And it wbb not a merely local interest
and feeling that made these people will
ing to endure suffocation for the price
less privilege of seeing them eat and
drink, or hearing them speak, while oth
ers almost threw themselves under the
wheels of the other two sections as they
slowly pulled in. People rushed on the
trains in eager search for thoir loved
ones; people who had no kin, but wcro
kin to all, cheered and watched with
worshipful eyes. ' The band played as
never before and could not be hoard.
Never were flags so bright, nor the
wot Id so glad. For our boys were homo
from the weary marches and the cruel
battles. Here and therein the edges of
the encroaching darkness, were bcodob
too sacred for even the sympathetic on
looker. When the boy who had torn
himself from the grasp of friends and
followed hurriedly after his kin folks,
found mother where she stood waiting.
Were ever such soldiers? So brown,
so brave, so stalwart and manly? And
yet so boyish withal, some of them, that
the sight of their young faces, with the
memory of a score of far and well-fought
fields brought the quick tears.
In the days of arbitration will the na
tions heart ever beat for her sons who
arbitrate as it beats now for the boys
who have carried her colors on their
bayonets through the swamps of Luzon?
and what of the night when we shall
know no home comings like this?
There were those who stood in the
crowd Tuesday night and remembered
the unreturning, and their welcome was
for them.
"Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget."
A reception was given to Company
D, and all Lancaster count soldiers,
by the Woman's patriotic league, at
the Capitol on Thursday evening. So
immense was the crowd which tilled
the corridors long before the hour ap
pointed for beginning the program,
that it was necessary to admit a part
of the crowd to' the representative
hall before room could be made for
the entrance of the soldiers. The
company then marched in, -preceded
by the young ladles' auxiliary, pass
ing between two lines of the members
of the reception committee, standing
on either side of the . central aisle.
The committee consisted of the fol
lowing persons: Messrs. and Mes
dames C. H. Gere, J. B. Orcutt, E, J.
Burkett, J. B. Strode, Ex-Governor
and Mrs. S. A. Holcomb, Governor
atd Mrs. Foynter, and all state offic
ers, Professor and Mrs. Hodgman, Dr.
and Mrs. Huntington, Professor and
Mrs. Aylesworth, Mayor and Mre.
Winnett, Colonel and Mrs. Campbell,
Colonel and Mrs. Vifquain, Judge and
Mrs. Reese, Mrs. S.M. Walker and
Miss Walker. The hall was beauti
fully and artistically decorated with
flags and flowers. After the com
pany was seated Mrs. D. G. King,
chairman of the Woman's patriotic
league, announced the program,
which was bright and interesting.
Excellent and inspiring music was
furnished by the band to which Mrs
King continually referred as ''this
famous Hagenow's band." The
speeches were crisp, well delivered
and to the point. Miss Pauline Maud
Oakley sang, Homo, Sweet Home, In a
manner beautiful and satisfying. Miss
Oakley never sang more sweetly. Miss
Gerhart recited, Old Glory, In strong,
clear ringing tones, and with such
tire and Inspiration that sho was en
thusiastically recalled. She respond
ed with a short, humorous skit.
several substitutions in the program
wore necessary. Mrs. W. J. Bryan
