Just in front of them and on the borde of the lake the troops were drawn up In line, and a most imposing front they presented Brigadier General Colby, mounted on his milk white stallion Don, was in command, and with him were the' officers of his staff, also superbly mounted. Chief of Staft Major Reed was the assistant adjutant general, and turned the brigade over to the commanding general, nel C. J. Bills, in command of the Second regiment, on the right, was mounted on one of the most beautiful horses on the grounds—an importation from Ken- tucky, with the signs of its aristocratic lineage showing in every curve and motion. At rest, with his head high in the alr as it scenting the smoke of battle, he stood like a statue of stone, and every command was obeyed with the precision of an old soldier.

Bratt The three ba'talions of this regiment were commanded by Lieutenant Colonel W. W. Wolcott of Central City, Major T. L. Wil- liams of Geneva, and Captain E. Hansen of company K of Central City. The left was made up of the battery, under the command of the battery officers, and the cavalry, which came in for a good share of the admiration of the civillan spectators, of whop there were a goodly number on the grounds in carriages and on foot as passengers of the steamer, City of Lincoln. 1In the formation the First Regiment band, late the State band, was on the exetreme right, and the Second Regiment band, formerly the Musical Union band of Omaha, was on the left. WENT THROUGH IT SMOOTHLY. Brigade dress parade was a comparatively new thing to most of the hoys, but they went through it with credit to themselves and to their "instructors. The two bands were consolidated, and in the march down the line and back again gave the people such a rendition of the “Liberty Bell” and the “High School Cadets™ as they are not likely to hear again for some time. When the Drigade was turned over to tne commanding officer he rode forward, followed by the bearers of two stands of colors, which, with an appropriate speech, he presented fo the colonels of the two regimen They were roceived with appropriate speeches by each and returned to the companies, After the parade the bands gave brief concer's on the lake shore, which were highly enjoyed by both the soldiers and the visitors. Most of the parade was gone through with by woonlight, and the spectacie was one which Il not ‘soon be forgotten by those who vaw it, From the conclusion of the dress parade until after 10 o'clock it seemed as if pan- demonfum had been let loose in camp, and all the pranks which a thousand healthy young fellows could devise were played. Stragglers near any of the tente streets were captured and tossed in the blanket, company after company plunged into the lake and half a dozen company “Q's” made the night hideous with the nois Gradually the hoots and cat calls died out and tho camp slept with nothing but the strains of an orchestra, which was playing for the A. O. H. danco in the pavilion across the lake, to disturb thom. General Colby had provided one of surprises, however, and at 12 o'clock, when everybody was ‘“pounding his car” in the most approved style, the assembly call was sounded from brigade headquarters, and in a minute it was repeated from regimental headquarters, while the battery, which had been sent up on the hill to the west, began a mock bombardment of the camp. The booming of the cannon completad the alarm of the bugles, and in a few minutes the camp was alive with moving columns and as- sembling companies. The Omaha Guards were the first in their regiment to report. COMPLIMENTED BY THE COMMANDER, At the conclusion 6f a brief drill General Colby complimented the brigade on its promptness, stating that the entire force was out in less than nine minutes, including the cavalry, and the artillery, which had marched down the hill, and with a few rounds gave the sounds, If not the effects of a battle. The infantry responded with mock volleys, and the cavalry with a charge, and the midnight attack was repulsed. At 5 o'clock this morning the boom of the cannon again awoke the camp, and in a few minutes the columns were again in line for the dress parade and ready to speed the two companies—A and C, of the Second—on their way to South Omaha, where they go to re- lieve the companies now there. The parade this morning passed off as smoothly as last night, with all companies and officers in their ‘places. ~ The sun was just rising and the lake and land were bathed in crimson and gold. Nearly all the visitors and the ladies In the camp were up in time to see the maneuvers. Just after the drill at midnight a furlous wind and dust storm swept over the camp, leveling a few of the tents and driving the lake steamer ashare on the south side of the lake, where she is still beached. At Colonel mists que them regiment, in of Bennett. his Bills' headquarters this morn- ing an election was held to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Major John Heasty of Fairbury, of the Second regiment Major Heasty was the brother-in-law of At- torney Humbell, who was killed In the Rock Island wreck, and belng unable to attend the encampment sent in his resignation. His place was filled by the election of Captain Emil Olson of Kearney, whose place will now have to be filled by a company election Captain Olson Is one of the most efficient and popular men in the service, and while his company rejolces over the honor done him, it regrets the loss of a captaln. The com- pany from Kearney took with it the signal corps, and as the two companies left the encampment for the train round after round of cheers greeted them, AMONG THE COMPANIES Company A of Kearney is one of the best looking and best equipped In the encamp- ment. It came into the camp with sixty mon, inoluding the signal corps, which is prepared to do efficlent work. The brigade oficers have arranged to establish a signal station at the pavilion, and the corps will be put into service there. The company has about sixty men when the ranks are full, and it turned out forly-five men to go to South Omaha. It was organized May 9, 1890, and 18 one of the best drilled companies in the rogiment. During the Pine Ridge war it did service at Culbertson, and was one of the first companles ordered to bo in readi- ness to go to South Omaha The Thurston Rifles, one of the youngest in the brigade, has already risen to the posi- tlon of one of the crack companies of the Pirst regiment. It Is comrortably quartered on the extreme loft of the line, and the boys seem to be enjoying camp life to the full extent Company K of the First regiment is com- manded by Cantain B. Hanson, First Lieu- tenant J. M. Rogers and Second Lieutenant Edward B. Wilson. It represents Central City at the encampment, and has a line of | thir ight men beside the officers. It was organized in March, 1880, by F. Sweet, who afterwards was made colonel of the Second regiment. Captain Hanson ls serv- Ing his second term, is the ranking captain of the regiment, and is acting major of the Third battalion. His company has been out whenever the guards have been d and have always been ready.

The swellest thing in the way of uniforms fs that worn by the State band, which is composed of simple black and white. Several thousand spectators saw the parade last night. A couple of exhibition drills by the Omaha Guards have been greatly admired by those who have seen them. The Thurston Rifles of the First have a mascot in the shape of a little “coon” as black as they make them. The great event here tomorrow will be the grand review of the troops by the governor and his staff. The First Regiment band was sworn in last night. This band is an outgrowth of the 0ld Musical Union band of Omaha, and their playing has been one of the features of the encampment. outhful Cattle Herder Injured. NAPER, Neb., Aug. 16.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—While herding cattle Sunday the 10-year-old son of Sam Miles, a wealthy farmer living near here, was thrown from his horse and seriously injured. He discovered by his parents, who had become alarmed at his absence, lying in a pool of blood and unconscious. The horse stumbled and then rolled on him. The almost entire failure of all crops in Boyd county this year, owing to the drouth, will compel many to leave their farms and seek a livelihood elsewhere. In some locali- ties the people are destitute and cannot get through the winter without assistance. The recurring seasons of dry weather is opening the eyes of many and before another crop d it is believed a system of irriga- be devised which will afford relief settlers.

They will proceed at on to Sherman county, where they will survey due west to North Platte. The work is the continuation of surveys begun two years ago In order to ascertain the exact topography of the state.

LINCOLN, Aug. 16.—(Special to The Bee.) —The coroner's Inquest into the death of the passengers who perished in the Rock Is- land wreck was begun with renewed interest today at 2:30, after an adjournment of thirty-six hours. Some new particulars were promised, but owing to the absence of wit- nesses who were supposed to be on hand this afternoon, nothing new or important wa brought out. Frank Rawlins said he was working at the time of the wreck for Farmer Saxton. He accompanied the Saxtons to the scene of the disaster, and told of the appearance of the ties, th wrecked train and other of the accident. He saw the negro, George Davis, standing near and gazing around. He was not alding in the rescue at the time. He was the second man he noticed after his arrival. He knew Davis, because he had pitched horseshoes with him that Sunday afternoon before the wreck occurred. He was wearing the same clothes that evening as he had Sunday. Rawlins told how Davis was arrested by Detective Malone at the Lonsdale farm the day afterward and as to the conversation which took place between the colored man and Malone, and the story about being in Lincoln and hearing the crash w. the superintendent B. & M. scenes E. Painter was then sworn. He is of this section of the He arrived at the wreck at 1:10, He said that from an examination he had made he judged that the engine had not left the south rail until it had gone forty feet past the loosened rail on the other side, which was conclusive proof, in his opinion, that the ad not jumped the track. As a prac- al railroad ‘man, he thought that it was a piece of malicious work, and not the negli- gence of any of the employes of the Rock Island company. He said that had the en- gine forced the rail over the appearance of the spike holes would Show this by being splintered and oblique. J. C. Speltz ‘testified that he lived about a mile northwest of the wreck. When he reached there the train and bridge were afire. He met the negro between Salt Creek bridge and the trestle. He told Speltz he was going to flag the next train. VERY NERVOUS WITNESS. Fred R. Lonsdale was then sworn. He was rather nervous when first on the stand and spoke in quick, short sentences, after hesitating a good deal before each one. Davis was at his home at 6:30 the next even- ing. He had told a neighbor during the day that he would hold Davis at his house if he came there, as Saxton told him he suspeeted that Davis had something to do with the wreck, and he had heard that he had been committing burglaries in the neighborhood. Davis had worked for him awhile during June and July. He always seemed very gen- tle toward the animals about the place. The cause for his quitting work for him was some trouble he had with one of the other hands. He left about July 10 and came around a few days later and was paid $5. He next saw him about a week afterward wearing a new suit of clothes, which he wore the night Malone arrested him. When Davis came to his place the next day he detained him_ by offering him employment, as he knew Malone was coming after him. During this time he had become involved in an argument with Davis concerning the ability of one man to pull the spike and unserew the bolts. Davis contended that one man could easily do this. When he asked him how he came to be present at the wreck he said that he entcred the train at Rokeby and was sitting with Harry Foote with his head out of the window when the train plunged over the trestle and that he saw the engineer and fireman put their arms about each other's neck when it went down. Asked concerning the reputation of Davis for veracity, he replied that he was generally considered a monumental liar. Brakeman Harry Foote being sworn, said that there was no colored man on his train that night, but he had noticed one just after the wreck. He had no suspicions against bim at that time, as he had helped him very much and had felt kindly toward him. L. Gardner, a guard at the penitentiary, sald he was at the scene of the wreck, where e met a colored man. After an examination had been made and it had been ascertained that the train had been wrecked, the negro said to him that no punishment could be too severe for the perpetrator of such a crime. Continuing he said that he saw him walk down the track about 150 yards and pick up the angle bar, which he brought back to where a group of men were standing, making the remark that that must have been re- moved from the rail. LINCOLN IN BRIEF. Health Officer Howe says that he has a fist of butchers in the city who have been doing some killing in the basements of their places of business, and that the same will be con- fronted with the strong arm of the law, which forbids the slaughter of animals within the corporate limits of the city, unless they immediately desist from the practice. While fn most of the cases he has his eye on there would be no objection raised if they contin- ued, still he says that the law must be re- spected, After computing the cost of the smallpox cases to the city it was found that it will amount to between $300 and $900. This is much better than the last smallpox scare, which footed up something like $2,000. The case of Mildred Ives and Virginia Druin against the city of Omaha, Henry Bolln and H. B. Irey has been appealed to the supreme court. The bone of contention is over a sidewalk, which was constructed by the city before some property belonging to the plaintiffs, the notice for which had been published in the Sunday edition of a newspaper and consequently was not noticed by the property holders. After the sidewalk was laid a special tax was levied against the property and the court was invoked to grant an Injunction restraining the city from selling it for taxes, which was denied by the lower court, James T. Willis, who was sentenced for six years in the district court of Dakota county for manslaughter, has filed a tran- seript for appeal in the supreme court. The charge against him was the murder of Am- berry Bates during a saloon quarrel. The heirs of the estate of John D. Lottridge have asked the district court to remove N. B. Kendall, the present administrator, charg- ing him with being insolvent, and that he has misappropriated the funds that have come into his possession, and that the shrinkage in the value of the pronerty has been due largely to his negligence in looking after the interests of the heirs. To Assist Drouth Suffe BELGRADE, Neb., Aug. 16 The Bee.)—A meeting was hell here last night to take preliminary steps to vote bonds on the township to build roads and improve the public highways generally in order to furnish employment to hundreds of men who, having lost all their crops by the drouth, will require help from some source to carry them through the winter. The plan adopted is to vote township bonds throughout the county In such amounts as the judgment of the people may see fit, to provide em- ployment for such as need aid and employ men on the roads at the Tate of $2 per day for man and team. The bonds, If carried, will run for ten years, and as soon as they can be disposed of work will be commenced and continu:d until the ground freezes up. The plan seems very popuiar and no doubt will be adopted by Nance county townships genorally. Nance county proposes to take care of Its own needy without applying for outside aid.

Some of the social jdols of the present day were fear- lessly hammered and the methods of work, especially the over-organization of the women's reform movements, were assailed It is safe to say that nothing has so stirred this section of the country as the eloguent and powerful denunciation of the shams that may be found in the social life of this age. This afternoon at the round questions were presented to most of which he answered. Hon.

George Clos EEZETA A SHOW TWILL IV Cruiser Benningtoa with the Refugees Only Waiting for Papers to Arrive NEW NAVAL REGULATIONS PROMULGATED Some Chunges Concerning the Granting of Asylu olltienl Refugees—Post- masters Appointed Dismissals In the War Department. WASHINGTON BUREAU OF 1407 I* Str WASHINGTON, Aug. 18, The State department has finally decided that the Salvadorean refugees now on the Bennington lying beyond the three-mile limit off San Francisco shall have a full and fair opportunity to come into court and show, if they can, that they are not subject to extra- dition. Orders have been fssued to Com- mander Thomas of the Bennington, which were communicated to him by a tughoat, to keep his vessel beyond the three-mile lmit ntil the extradition papers arrived at S These were handed to the min at 6 o'clock last Satur- oon should reach San Fran- or tomorrow morning. When they arrive the papers will be placed in the hands of the United States marshal, the Bennington will steam into the harbor and the refugees will be taken into custody and produced before the United States court. They are General Antonio Ezeta, late vice president of Salvador; General Caticheco, General Kolonos and Lieutenant Colonel Cienfugos, all of Ezeta’s staff. Before the court they will be represented by Gonzale de Neusado and Hon. H. T. Reu- bens of New York as counscl. While this counsel may invoke a spirit of habeas cor- pus, it will be unnecessary, as they will have their opportunity when the refugees are brought before the court in pursuance of extradition proceedings, to show that the extradition is sought on political grounds and that the offenses charged them are not criminal in ch cter, NEW NAVAL REGULATIONS. In the quietest manner that official methods will p rmit, the Navy department has amended the naval regulations in such a fashion as to entirely reverse the policy of right of asylum as laid down by Secre- tary Tracey in the case of General Barrundia, when Commander Reiter of the United State steamer Ranger received his stinging repri- mand. The new regulation appears to com- pletely justify that unfortunate officer in his refusal to protect Barrundia, for, If its construction of the proper duty of a naval commander is correct and in conformity with international law, then he could not have offered to take the general from the merchant vessel. The department has been induced beyond question to make this new regulation restricting the granting of asylum by the great trouble it has been put to by the harboring of the Salvadorean refugees on the Bennington. The old regulation, num- ber 287, reads as follows: First, in reference to the granting of asylum in the territorial waters of a foreign state, the ships of the United States shall not he made a refuge for criminals. “Second, in the case of persons other than criminals ‘they shall afford shelter wherever it may be needed, to United States citizens first of all, and to others, including political refugees, as far as the claims of humanity may require and the services upon which the ships are engaged will permit.” The new regulation is much more re- strictive, reading as follows: he right of asylum for political or other refugees has no foundation in international law. In countries, however, where frequent insurrectiors occur and constant instability of government exists, local usage sanctions the granting of asylum, but even in the watcrs of such countries officers should refuse all applications for asylum, except when re- quired by those interests of humanity extreme or exceptional cases, such as the pursuit of the refugee by a mob. Officers must not directly or indirectly invite refugees to accept asylum. POSTMASTERS APPOINTED. Fourth class postmasters appoint-d—Towa: Bethichem, Wayne county, J. C. F.
