The prevention of all forms of cruelty ia the aim of the society. Its especial work is to prevent cruelty to, children, to crim inals and defective and dependent per sons, and to animals. This object is accomplished by the creation of a pub lic humane sentiment, by the education of the young to moral sensibility toward all living beings, and by the punishment of offenders to the full extent of the law. During the past year 23,925 cases MMIIIIIIOIHMH of cruelty to children and 99,850 cases of cruelty to animals were investigated by the American humane association in a territory including less than one third of the United States. A majority of these cases were settled out of court, while arrest and imprisonment were found necessary in some instances.

Everything concerning Colonel Stot senburg is of loving interest to Nebras kans. A year or two after he graduated at West Point, General Sherman en quired about him of an uncle. When told that he was out west the General said: "It is a hard life but it pays to be out there in the long run. That boy will make a fine soldier and be of use to his country if he lives and is ever called upon to do duty in war." In reporting the old General's remark to the young soldier stationed in an obscure western cantonment, his uncle added that he said to him: "Stotsenburg knew noth ing but his duty and never drank." This information especially pleased the General who "was all smiles in a mom ent." The letter containing the words of commendation and prophesy of his future, is yellowed by time. It was among Colonel Stotsenburg's treasures and is an indication of his hopes and confidence in himself and in his own integrity and ability. Governor Savage, his staff, several of the state officers and a party of Lincoln citizens went to Omaha on Monday oveniog to be the gueBts of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben and incidentally to at tend the concert by Bellstedt's band.
