He was on his way home after working hours were over, and carried a rip in his hand containing his tools. As e passed the Baptist church on Sixth street a couple of men wearing black masks sprang out of a clump of weeds and ordered him to throw up his hands, the smaller of the two at the same time pulling a gun on him. Wat- kins did as he was bid and the larger man went through his pockets, taking from them $13. He asked what Watkins had in the grip, and when told it contained the tools with which he had earned the $13, the rob- ber facetiously remarked: ‘“Well, podner, we can't use them tools as well as you can, B0 you'd better keep 'em so's we can see you again sometime.” Watkins was unable to furnish a very accurate description of the men, on account of the darkness, and the fact that they wore masks that entirely con- cealed their faces. Both wore dark clothes and slouch hats, Ary a glass of Sulpho-Saline or Soterlan mireral waters from the famous Excelsior springs at George Davis', Paul Schneider's and 0. H. Brown's drug stores.

ARMY 0] THE TENNESS| lon Will Bo One of the Most Note- thy Affalrs Ever Seen Here. The committees having in charge the pre- liminaries to the annual reunion of the Army of the Tennessee to be held in this city next October, are hard at work, and tiey promise that the noted men belonging to the organ- ization ‘which will have possesion of the keys of the city during two days at that time, will have such an entertainment as they have never had before. .The Army of the Tennessee differs con- siderably from other military organizations. It is composed of officers only. There are about 400 members of the society, and the general attendance is about half that number. All who have served at any time as officers in the Army of the Tennessee are eligible to membership. . The soclety was organized in April, 1865, at the close of the civil war, in the field of Raleigh, N. C. Lee had surrendered and it was evident that fighting times were over. During the war friendships that were destined to be lifelong had sprung up among the officers, the same as among the men, and it was de- cided to form a permanent organization, which, while it should not keep the hostile fires alive, should give the officers a chance to renew old acquaintance every year. From that time on annual meetings were held, and it is religious duly among the members as often as posible. General Rawlings was the first president, and served until his death, when the vaeant chair was filled by the election of General William T. Sherman. When he died, General G. M. Dodge, form- was elected president, and has held the office ever since. Among_the notables who will be here are General Howard, General Fred Grant, -Gen- eral Leggitt, General Hickenlooper, General Force, General Taylor, Colonel Cabel and General D. B. Henderson. The headquarters will be at the Grand hotel, and all the meetings will be at the opera house. Mrs. Frank Pusey, who is o daughter of General Dodge, will give the visitors a reception, and there will be a grand banquet at the Grand hotel, which will be one of the most brilliant society events ever seen in this city. The members and their ladies, with a few chosen guests from outside the sacred border, will be present. The people of Omaha have signifiad their de- sire to show what they can do in the way of providing entertainment, but as the time is so far well filled by the people of this city, it s likely that an extra day will be addéd to the reunion, making it three, In- stead of only two.

BOSTON STORE, Council Bluffs, Ia. Wheelmen Talking of Organizing n Bi- eyelists’ Protectiy guo. The fact that two bieycles were stolen fro the street Saturday night caused a great de of excitement among local wheelmen. There serms to be no doubt that the wheel thieves who have been plying their trade in Omaha, Lincoln and Fremont have recovered from the shock caused by the arrest and imprison ment of one of thelr number in this eity a few weeks ago, and have gone to work once more, Among wheelmen the prevalling sen ment secms to be iu favor or organizing a so- clety which shall have for its purpose the rmination of wheel thieves.

The Kansas City and Milwaukee roads each sent in a big excursion party yes day. The former brought twenty-five car loads and the latter seventeen, the two to gether mustering about 2,500 people. A pleasant day was spent by the visitors roam ing over the two cities. The weather wa just right, and the streets were crowded all day long, At the lake the crowds found abundant means of entertainment, and the day was delightfully spent by the excursion: It was the biggest of the season at Manawa The excursionists wanted to see all there was, in the lake and on both sides. The urnstiles at the Grand Plaza showed that ,000 had passed through them up to § o'clock. Every rowboat and sailboat afloat use, and the steamers were The Manhat was in constant taxed to their fullest capacity, tan beach pe-ple did one particularly grace ful thing that was keenly appreciated by a large number of the strangers. The big r M. F. Robre tan beach at started to 30 o'clock sidewheel steam return from Manha with a full load of excursionist A stiff bre caught her shortly after she left the anding and drifted her to the lower end cof the lake in spite of the full power of her en- gines. She batiled against it for an hour and by that time her coal supply was ex hausted, and she stranded helplessly on the island half a mile from the landing. The Manhattan people sent the propeller Liberty to the rescue and took off all the excursion- ists, who would otherwise have missed their train for home. Many of them were anxious to pay for their passage on the Liberty, but the owners refused to permit them to pay a cent. To E. H. Odell more than any other in- dividual belongs the credit for the succ of the excursions. He spent three or four days along the railway lines working it up and distributing bils, and employed a num- ber of men and put in the day himself direct- ing the strangers the way to the lake and looking after th-ir comfort. At 2 o'clock he went up to Fairmount park and found several hundred strangers who were anxious to go to Manawa, but had been switched off on the wrong track. Three or four motor loads were gathered up and taken to the Ninth street car: Among t city were a e excursionists who visited the dozen members of the Perry Whe:l club. They were met at the Mil- waukee depot by a delegation from the Gany- med: Wheel club, who took them to the club rooms. From there they went to the Driving Park track and then to Manawa. Those making up the party were: Leslie Morgan, Fred Ling, George Overton, Dell Hentholm, Harry Butler, Gus Hindert, Ira Mellick, Charles King, Fred Knell, Oscar Knell, Fred Thornley and E. Childs.

How a Damage Sult Was Defeated Through a Little Knowledge of the Optic«, Here Is an interesting account of a very clever bit of detective work by an oculist. It appears that in a large factory, in which were employed several hundred persons, one of the workmen, in wielding his hammer, carelessly allowed it to slip from his hand. It flew half way across the room and struck a fellow workingman in the left eye. The man averred that his sight was blinded by the blow, although a careful examination failed to reveal any Injury, there being not a scratch visible, He brought a suit in the courts for compensation for the loss of half of his eyesight, and refused all offers of compromise. Under the law, says the Shefeld (Eng- land) Telegraph, the owner of the factory was responsible for an injury resulting from an accident of this kind, and although he bolieved that the man was shamming and that the whole case was an attempt at swindling, he had about made up his mind that he would be compelied to pay the claim. The day of the trial arrived, and in open court an eminent oculist retained for the defense examined the alleged injured mem ber and gave it as his opinlon that it was as good as the right eye. Upon the plain- tif’s loud protest of his inability to see with his left eye, the oculist proved him a p Jjurer and satisfied the court and jury of the falsity of his claim, And how do you suppose by he did it? knowing that the and red combined make black a black card on which a few words were written with g-ean irk. Then the palnii¥ was ordered to put on a pair of spectacles with two different glasses, the one for the right eye being red and the one for the left eye consisting of ordinary glass. Then the card was hsnded him and he was ordered to Why colors green He procured simply read the writing on it. This he did without hesitation. and the cheat was at once ex posed e sound right eye, fitted with the ved glass, was unable to distinguish th green writing on the black surface of the ard, while \he left eye, which he pretended was sightless, was the one with which the reading had to be done.

This fish Is a cousin of the black bass of the east; I it fin for fin it a caricature the ¢ fisher ks like it and resembles though its enormous size ma of its gamy ally, It has all me qualities of the black bass and the 1an who has conquered one has worked his passage. One of the first of these glants I ever saw caught was in a triangular fair We were fishing for anything we coull catch and w wien suddenly efish were coming in rapldly something seized a whitefish that had been hooked; something that wed @ strong determination to car thing by storm. Careful manipu tion brought the fish to the surface, and it was nearly secured when with a rush a big shark joined the sport and the fisherman drew up what remained of a seventy-five- pound jewfish. e latter had seized the whitefish and been hooked, and the shark had severed the jewfish in two as nearly as could be imagined. It only lacked the orca_or killer complete the scries My next black se have seized of tragedies 1 bass was taken off what shark to is known as Pebbly beach, a locality famous for the great fish, as it is supposed that they go in there to deposit their spawn that line the shore and make music on the sands as they are ground together by the waves. Off this beach, near that the fragrant odors of the canon flora reached us, anchored and cast our lines, baited with seven-pound whitefish, alive and frisky, so hooked that their ac- tivity would attract the aticution of the jewfish, that, like his compeer, the black bass, desires live bait or a good substitute, The bait was allowed to dangle four or five among the pebble feet above the bottom, and this done the fishermen gave themselves over to the pleasure of contemplation and that retro- spective philosophy of which Walton was the genfus. The scenery here—the lofty mountains, the green canons, the cloudless sky, the fish as it soars away—all prevented the walt for a bite becoming tiresome it came. I had almost forgotten the line when there came like a electric shock a tug, then another, and the line visibly and audibly walked away. Over it went, in .a mysterious fashion, foot after foot, until fifteen feet had been measured of in my mind’s eye. Then came the tug of war, and I jerked the hook into the fish that twenty seconds later had pulled our heavy boat about and was towing it up the beach like a tug. The first rush of the fish was demoraliz- ing. It was an affair of smoke as the line hissed over the edgecof the boat and left two excited fishermen<jumping to avold the but finally flying coils. To have made it fast would simply have been to break it. The charge of the bass was magnificent and irresistible, and many feet of liné were taken before it was deemed advisable to check it. But finally, with a_quici grasp, it was caught and the chase begun. With bow under the boat plowed away behind the maddened fish, that beat all the games a bass ever indulgai in, with a number of old salmon tricks in the bargain, It'was dash ahead with in- credible speed, then stop and come in with a rush, so cunningly managed that it was impossible to take in the siack, and when finally it was in hand the vicious fish would sound directly for the bottom and move duwn thirty feet like an arrow out of a bow, tearing the line out of my hands as though I had been a child, Then I gained on him and_took him up foot by foot—the hardest work I ever did—with occasional wrenches that took my arms into the water elbow deep. Then came blows, one, two, three, in quick succession, that lengthened out tne arms and made the joints crack, followed by lunges, dashes and other aquatic gym- nastics that were co g and calculated to wear out the strongest muscles. There is a way,hov aver, to manage a big fish if plenty of line is available, and finally, after a hand-to-hand fight of three-quarters of an hour, half a mile from where we hooked the fish I brought it to the surface. The moment his big eye caught sight of me came a lunge that threw us all down and half filled the boat. But it was the last offort of a grand fighter, and the gigantic fish lay at the surface and took its quietus of a bullet through the vertebrae at the hands of a worn-out fisherman. I recom- mend this exercise for the overworked busi- ness man. It has this advantage—all the muscles are brought into play, and the man who Kills, alone and single-handed, a 350- pound black sea bass well earns the sport and prize. —_—— THE COYOTE'S CRY. A Raw Lieutenant’'® Early Experience on the Border. Qn graduating from West Point I joined my regiment at a bleak post, far out on the frontier, said an officer to the corridor man of the Globe-Democral. One cold winter night, not many months after, when the snow was piled deep on mountain and in valley, and creaked noisily at each step of the heavy arctic overshoes we were obliged to wear, was trudging wearily around the post, mak- Ing my last Inspection of the sentineis as officer of the guard. Suddenly, from just across the parade and directly behind ‘the line of officers’ quarters, there came a short, sharp bark, followed by sev- eral ~more in quick succession, the time growing faster and the pitch higher, until in a moment they all ran together in one long-drawn and lugubrious howl. Then the noise stopped, but before I could re- cover breath it began again in the same way as before, only louder, and in a more wall- ing tone, until it seemed as if a chorus of flends was lamenting the invasion of their haunts by the white man. We were in the heart of the Indian coun- try, and thinking the unusual noise was the signal for a midnight attack I was about to run back to the guard bhouse, turn out the guard, and arouse the garrison, when a sharp, “Who comes there?” warned me that I was approaching a sentinel. After 1 had been duly advanced, this man proved to be an old soldier of my ‘own' company, who had probably enlisted not many years after I was bhorn. It occurred to me that it would do no harm to see if he knew what the nolse was, especially as he seemed. totally undisturbed by it. “Higgins, aid you hear that yelling across the parade” “Yes, sor Here I thought I saw the beginning of a grin at the corners’of his mouth, and in consequence became Lvery dignified. “What was it, Higgips2" “Nothin' but coyotes, sor." Here the grin begamg unmistakable, and hid to be checked with a stern glance. ““But, Higgins, if that noise was made by coyotes, there must have been a hundred, and I would have seen them on the snow.' “'Beggiog the looten'nt’s pardon, sor, I think there wuz only two."
