The first thing Knoxia ‘Walker, the favorite, did was to make a bal- loon ascension and parachate jump, which smocked her hoves for glory and simoleons into a cocked hat. Marguerite then went offin_ the lead by at least a half dozen lengths, which she maintained to tho wire. Time: 2:33 Marguerite took her old position, that of drum major, in the second. Knoxie Walker gave her a nice chase'around to three quar- ters, where for some unaccountable causo the Sedalia roan was pulled almost to a standstiil,but went right away again, and on the head of the stretch collared Kinney’s game little filly, and but for o rank swerve nearly into the fence would have beaten her out. Time: g, ‘Again Marguerito went away aicely and was quickly in possession of a comfortable lead. Packet and Knoxie pulled up on her just before reaching the half, when Packet made a Jump up and fell back to last place. Marguerite increased her lead from this on to the three quarters, coming to a standstill break here and allowing Knoxie to pa<i her. The roan speedily placed ten leangths to her credit, and would have shut out both Packet and EKlectricity had she not had come to a full stop a nose from the wire. Time: 2:35. Knoxie took the fourth heat just like eat- ing pie, playing from wire to wire with the frantic gang ut her heels. Time: 2:36. Knoxio took the fifth heat and the race. Marguerito gave her a tight chase for the purse, and was only beaten by an eyelash. Time: 2:34. Summary: Knoxle Walke: larguerito . lectricity .

The latter, however, keot her ssride nicely and came under the wire o noss in front. In the mile sho made three oreaks and still was awarded the heat, baving gained nothing by reason of her breaks, Time: 2:31. i Dinah wus not pushed in the second until the stretch was entered, when Trenton threw ina fow barrels cf tar and came vp like a whirlwind. He wasmot equak to tne task, however, and the mare came in a couple of heads thebest of it. ‘Time: 2:30. The third heat and race was taken by Diaab.

CHicaco, Sept. 7.—[Special Telegram to Tk Bex ] —Today’s events at Washington park were witnessed by a much larger crowd than those of uny previous day of the meeting. The races, with one or two excep- tions, were uneventful. Axenite, tho great 2-year-old, by Axtell, won nhis race quite hanaily, after dropping the third heat with- out any apparent cause. Georgia Lec, a rank outsider, won the B-year-old race. Mavgvavo, ' the great S-year-old, winner of the year, and The Conqueror, the Nebraska champion, were favorites. The Conqueror looked hke a winoer in both heaus, but bad breaks lost him the race. The 2:12 class trot went to the favorite in very fast time. Iu the last heat Phabe Wilkes re- duced her wark 1y seconds, and went tho fastest mile sinco the meeting opened. Charlie C won the 2:34 trot in hollow style. ‘Western horses won every race with one ex- cepuion today.

OMAHA DAILY BEE: LEAVING FOR THEIR HOMES Afver Days of Pleasure Many of the Veterans Desart Indianapolis. ADDRESS OF THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF It is Endorsed by All the Old Soldiers Pros- entat the Rennion—Proseedings of the Various G. A, R Organizations Yesterday, INDIANAPOLIS, fept. 7.—Many vetorans have already gone, and all the outgoing trains wereloaded. Many, however, remained to witness the grand pageant of tomight, revrescnting the military history of tho United States, tableaux and fireworks. The national bodies of the Grand Army of tire Republic resumed their session this morn- ing and continued them throughout the day. The committee on the address of the com- mander-in-chief presented a report endors 1t in every particular and added: Grand Army of the Republic has no objec- tion to the search light of nvestization being turned on the pension list—the na- tion's roll of honor—but it does demand that it be the searchlight of love for and not hatred toward the brave men who bore the battle or their widows or orphans. The committes to devise ways and means to erect a monument to the rank and file of the union army, to be located at Washing- ton, approved the organization known as the “‘National Reunion Monumental Association of Washington City.” It has secured the dedication of a plat of ground for the monu- ment, hereafter to be known as Grand Army Place, which will bo the site of future re- unions in that city and on which it is pro- posed to erect a testimonial to the rank and file, to include soldiers on land as well as sailors and marines, Rev. A. B. Hendrick of West Liberty, 0., was unanimously elected chaplain-in-chief, Committes on Pensions Reports. The committee on pensions. presanted a very lengthy report, Regarding the disabil- ity act of June, 1890, the report say: his act was acceptea by the surviving soldiers and by the people us a settlemont of tho question. Under the administration of that law the poorhonse gave up its veterans. The men who had. borne the battle were cared for and the sacred trust_accepted and left as a legacy to the nation was faithfully administered, “Within a fow months wo henr withi pro- found sorrow and regret that all:this must bo changed; that the construction of the law has been changed and the regulations and rules in reference to proof and ratings, under which more than 300,000 claims have been allowed and paid, have been' revoked, and another construction of tholaw has been ablished and new regulations for proof and ratings, less favorabls. to claimants, have been adopted; that a_board of revision as been organized in thé pension oftice, charged with the duty of revising all theso adjudicated claims in"accordance with this new construction and auch changed regula- tions as to proof and ratings. Under the changes thousands of pensions have boen suspended without notice and _thousands_of pensioners have been dropped from the rolls. ‘“To emphasize the viciousness of the situation and accusation, we learn that it is said, as though by authority, that ‘it 1s ex- pected that any of the pensionorsso sum- marily suspended or dropped will be able to prove that they are still entitled to the pen- sions of which they have been deprived,’ thus saying in no uncertain voice that the burden is not upon the party alleging.fraud, but that the government which they had preserved shall first, and with infamy by the. charge, then sentence, and after the stigma had been effective, then concede to them, whose barriers and support of char- acter have been thus undermined, the piti- ful privilege of moving for, a new trial upon the ground of newly discovered evidence, Denies the Secretary’s Authority. ““We deny that the secretary of the interior and commissioner of pensions have any such power. Wo insist that the adjudication di- visions of the pensions office, acting under the direction and supervision of: the commis- sioner of pensions aud secretary of the in- terior, are tribunals estabiished by authority of law for the settlement of pension claims, and that their decisions are entitled to full aith and crediv and cannot be legally im- peached when a change of administration occurs, except for fraud, upon charges pre- ferred and evidence adduced in support thereof. We insist that when changes are made in the construction of the law, rules of evidence and schedyles of rating unfavorable to claimants they must and should be lim- ited in their operation to the future work of the office and not the past. “We demand that there shall be no back- ward step in pension legislation or admin- tration; that no pensioner .shall be de- prived of his property without due process of the law; that the presumption shall be in favor of honesty and fair dealing; that the poor and lowly shall not be put to unnecos- sury, expensive or Oppressive processes to protect their meager inheritances; that the acred trust of those who have borne the tle shall be sacredly observed and acredly administered, and we do now solelmly and deliberately declaro that eyery presumption should be made in favor of recogls o muds; that o presumption of fraud shall be indulged against them, and that no change be made in the pensions so accorded until after charges have been made and evidence in support thereof has been produced, of which charge each pensjoner has had full notice and a full and complete opportunity to be heard in support of the pension so accorded him; b it further “l(csol?d, ‘That as the commissioner of pensions,“by his recent withdrawals of ob- noxious rulings, which have been 8o gener ally condemned, has virtually acknowledged tho incorrectness of such rulings, we deem it his further duty to at once restore o the rolls the thousands of pensioners now stand- ing illegally suspended.” The repory was unanimousiy adopted. This afternoon the encampment instructed the commander-in-chiof to_carry the -ques- tion of the legality of the suspension of pensionsup to the supreme court of the United States.

The uew national officers were then in- stalled and each made a short address. 4 Cumander-in-chief Adams selected Dr. “welll George R.

The special committee on tho pres address recommended tnat the department. instead of buildiye homes for widows and nurses of the “send them to the national home. This provoked an excited discussion, and it was finaliy tabled. Commander-in- Chiof Weissert "ffbsented the eroetine of the Grand Army ofithe Republic in.a specch A bitter contpeyarey arose over the report in the msnnr.v[:s Ada F. Clark of Ohio, who was suspenfidd from the order a year Ago, and this action was sustained. Commander Adams’ Eleetion, There is considorable talk in Grand Army of the Republic circles today about the selection of Commander-m-Chief Adams. It is claimed that Governor McKinley was on his way to this city for the purpose of placing General Hurst of Ohio in nomination for that office: that Adams' adhercnts learned of this and rushed through the clection of Adams. Governor MeKinley, s friends say, was take at Arm- strong park whils this was goingon. It is the first time that the national oficers have been chosen on the first'day of the conven- tion, and this, it is claimed, londs plausibil- ity to the “snap” election theory Of the various pubiic displ: tainments in honor of tke Grand Army, that of this evening was probably the most imposing and beautiful. It consisted of a pageantry of fifteen floats, presenting famous ‘events in the uation's history, elaborately built and accompanied by bril- t vyrotechnic displays. The stroots wero thronged with people.

Hoopgy and Cuming preciucts, with fourteen delegates between them, are generally conceded LeiFrick, so that if he can get nine otherdetegutes he will be able t control the cohtbution. The Maxwell men have not giveil yp hope, but it must be conceded that eyerything indicates that Frick and his corpordfion backers have car- ried the county. ° * In the wards cwrijed by the railroad’s henchmen ironclad'idstructions were riveted ou the delegations, but the Maxwe!l men did not follow suit in the Secona. Katlronders Hustled, The result iu this city is due solely to the failure of the disinterested class to turn out, while on the other hand the railroad whir— pers in saw to it that every employe was in *_.e to carry out the plun mapped out at the headquarters. 1t had been conceded 1 ad- vance that the: railroads would r) Fourth ward, which is the co, stronghoid. The opposition to Maxwell made a most determined effort in all the wards, straining every aerve to do up the chief justice in his own ward and precinct, in order to make capilal against bim, but their energies lu this direction resulted in wglorious failure. The tactics sud methods pursued by the subsidized crowd have been shameful, a bitter and relentloas fight, verging ou perse- eution, hlvhr been Wi The attacks made were all the m ficult to meet, be- cause gonerally maskod, and it was not until the hidden warfaro had been going on for & month that the friends of Maxwell know what they would have to expect. The Max- well men have done all their work within the past erght days, while the opposition has beon at work for six weeks, and had all their pins set up when the snap convention was called two woeks ago. Wil e Livaly Tines Today. The convention will moet at 3:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and it is quite probable that it will be 4 lively affair, The friends of he chiel justico in allparties denounce the unfair conduct of the opposition and promise that they will yot ba heard from. even 1f temporurily throttled by the concertod hocus pocus of the combined corporata of powers. EFrick carried the First, Third and Fourth. wards while Maxwell carried the Second, which _ adjoins s home procinct of Platte. There were u0 open demonstrations, but the pres- ence of the railroad men, clossly watched by lynx-oyed bosses, was plainly apparent oven bofore any of a0 meotings woro called to et Fried Favor d Friek. The only approach to an_outbroak was in the Second, where Mayor Fried bocame vory much excited and was about to strike ex- Congressman Dorsey with a cane. The trouble grew out of a move to adopt compro- mise resolutions to govern the conduct of the prim - vies, as agreed upon by representatives of the opposine factions eariier in the day. The resolutions were adopted in the other wards withont much_discussion. but the mayor seemed to think that they ht to be worded as to wive Candidate ck o Little more advantaze than was ac- ded him Dy tho original phraseology. y stood for the resolutions, hence the excitement of tho mayor, ik gots the soventeen delerates from st by a_vote of 88 1o 57; the nine from the third by 47 to 32, and the ten from the Fourth by i3 t Maxwell coptured the eleven from the Second by 78 to 41 the six from the Platte preinct by 38 to 36, and the eight from North Bend by 23 1o 16, Stundard Cattle Company's Tactios.

How the Railroads Worked. Brooks, the Elkhorn rond master and councilman rfrom the Fourth, wielded the 1on oad at the primary in his ward Aw to it personally that his men ously obeyed the orders from railroad headquarters. Eikhorn Second waril s manifestly uncasy ter the vote was announced to find that he had failed to perform the work entrusted to him. That, the of whip e sively shown. by the numbers of their men resent in the various wards and precincts, s they turned out from thirty-five to nin men in each and the Frick vote represents nothing but the corporation contingent. .

Kilied the Cashier, ‘The bank opened for business as usual at 10 o'clock this mornlng. At 10:30 threo mounted men rode up to the door of the bank and, entoring quickly, rushed up to A . Blachl nier, presented guns and do- manded wi money ho had. The cashicer refused to give it up. The robbers then made a grab through the window, secured #00 and opened fire, The cashier fell, being instantly killed. The robvers then fired at H. H. Woolbert, assistant cashier, but missed him. A'he shooting attracted the attention of the citizens and Ray Simpson, a ieading bardsware merchant and a dead shot, ran for his Winchester and started for the aliey in the roar of the bank where the robbers had tied theirhorses. The robbers had started out of town when Mr. Simpson got there, but he succeeded in killing two of them by shooting them through tho head. A third shot killed one of the robber’s horses and to- gether the man and animal fell to the ground. After killing two of the robbers My, Simp- son continued after the third ono, taking several shots at him, but without effect. Mr. Simpson then returned to the town, and, getting together a posse, started at once in pursuit.

In the latger case he will undoubtedly be lynched on his return here. The two dead robbers mounted and the horse that was nas killed was caught by the citizens. Four hundrod doltars was recovered from their porsons, the escaping robber carrying away the other sl were also well e suspicion that the men fmplicated 1n the robbery are remnants of the famous Dalton gaug seems to be gencral.
