BICYCLE AS A WAR HORSE Its Utility £kown Fy Lieutenant Dorovan's Trip frem Chegenne 1o Omaba, GOT IN LA.T NIGHT WITH A GOCD RECORD Carried Soldier's Made the Distance 1n Five and a Halt Days—Army Ofcials Deeply Inter- ested—A Practical Test, " Accontrements an Lieuten:nt J. L. tantry, from Fort Doncvan, Seventeenth in Russell, arrived in Omaha last evening and Is quartered at the Mercer hotel. He traveled the whole distance on a bicycle, ¢ fng the 630 miles In five and one-hall days, and put in four days in wActual riding. On his arrivil he reported to General Brooke, and after supper he related his experience to a group of and reporters. Lieutenant Donsvan was ordered to report at Fort Omaba for the rifle competition ‘which soon commences, and as he n en- thusiistic wheelman he wrote to General Brooke and secured permission to make the Journey from Fort Russell to Omaha on h's wheel. There has been a great deal of dis- cussion in army circles as to the advisability of equipping scldiers with bicycles for put- ting them into fleld and other service, Gen- eral Nelson A. Miles rides a wheel end is a warm advocite of Its use in army service There are other supporters of ths wheel, and army officers regard its adoption as only & matter of a short time when infantry will be provided with the silent steeds, thus in a measure revolutionizing field tactics. The progress of the carrying of the mes- sage from President Cleveiand to Governor Waite in Colorado was watched with a good deal of interest by Uncle Sam's defenders, but this did not give them a practical demonstration of the usefulness of the bicy. cle, as the relay riders were all experienced riders, carrying the lightest possible weight The relay race suggested the idea to Licu- tenant Doncvan to make the trip from Fort Russell to Omaha, and he procecded to put It into execut on The lleutenant is a tall young man, Ppossesses a great deal of determination, after securing permission to make the at- tempt, he provided himself with a Victor forty-three-pound bicycle, upon which he strapped the same accoutrements as a pri- vate carrles when marching. These weighed sixty-five pounds and consisted of a rifle and forty pounds of ammunition, an entrenching tool, a revolver and twenty rounds of ammunition, a shelter tent and poles, overcoat, bag and blanket, a toilet bag, underclothing and an extra pair of shoes and a quart canteen filled with water, besides three days' rations. Lieutenant Domovan welghs 165 making a4 combined weight of 230 pounds on the wheel. The rifle was strapped to the frame of the bicycle and did not interfere in any way with the rider. The other articles were strapped in front and at the side of the handle bars and were so arranged that they could be re- moved in a half minute if necessary. In relating his experience, the lieutenant said: DESCRIBES THE TRIP. “I started out to give the army officers a practical illustration of the value of a wheel for army service, in making long marches, or for carrying messages. I have been five and one-half days on the road between here and Fort Russell and lost a day and a half by breaking my wheel and having to stop to repair it. I stopped a half day cach time at McPherson, Grand Island and Fremont. 1 rode to Omaha from Fremont today and had to travel a large portion of the distance over muddy roads. The journey has not fatigued me as much as five days' march would, and, according to my cyclometer, I have traveled a fraction over §20% miles, I do mot feel worn out and .could have completed the trip in much shorter time. I put in exactly fifty-nine hours and forty minutes with my wheel. This includes the time spent in re- pairing It. 1 had to walk twenty-cight miles and push my wheel on account of deep sand and mud. 1 rode over railroad tracks for twenty-four miles and traveled 155 miles on muddy roads. For 420 miles I faced a strong wind, which retarded my speed, and, as [ found the roads in pretty bad conlition, I might say that the trip was made under unusually adverse conditions. I broke the sprocket chain twice today while through heavy mud, and came into Omaha with a loose pin, buf I feel well satisfled, for I have given a practical illustration of what can be accomplished with a wheel in the army. A company of infantry could be put on a battle field fifty or a hundred miles distant in a half day or a day’s time. This could not be dome with horse, or by foreed marches, and, after the men went on the field, they could discard their wheels and strap their accoutrements to their shoulders, Bicycles are as cheap as horses, require lit- tle attention, and a company eould sleep on thelr wheels, as it were, when on a march and be ready to move on Within an incredibly short time after receiving orders. This trip, I think, will be a strong argument in favor of the equipping of the soldiers with bi- cycles. I may return to Fort Russell in the same manner and will make the trip in much shorter time if I do.” Colonel Benham, who was an listener while the lieutenant was relating his experience, remarked: “It is a wonder- ful performance, and, I think, will result in the adoption of bieycles in army service. This record clearly outelasses anything ac- complished by horses and our messenger service would be greatly improved by the equipment. The army officials are consider- ing the advisability and utility of equipping infantry with bieycles and I am greatly in favor of such a move. With bicycles we could move out troops easily, silently and speedily.” An official report of the trip will be made 1o the heads of the departments and the secretary of war, —_—— eaaty Thrives on good food and sunshine, With plenty of exercise in the open air, Her form glows with health and her face blooms with its beauty.

Balley of the Banum & Bailey was up early with his army of men. The grounds were ditched and drained and enough canvas was soon erected to shelter the horses and other animals and to enclose & dining room for the 700 employes, By nightfall the big show tent was up and the clreus was nearly ready for business. All the tents are waterproof, so that the later ralnfall of the day madé no impression on the ground beneath. Tons of hay and straw were strewn about and there will be little evidence of mud at the performance today.

Yester- day afterncon while Agent Cohen cf the show was supervising the &vening meal, Bickman of the firm of Wright & Backman, butchers, of 2505 N street, South Omaha, entered and presented a contract signed by J. C. Hamilton for $63.46 worth of meat Mr. Cohen emphatically declared that he was the only authorized agent of the com- pany, that Hamilton had no pewer to make ny ecntracts, and that the contract there- fore was a fraud, Other cases of the same kind were later repcrted, and it appears that Hamilton has reaped quite a harvest the ci The way shi town in his victims s case of the butchers he inquired the price of the meat.

But Mr. Hamlltin said that he would not be able to see the meat men again i8 he kept in advance of the show. So his profits were immediately ald over to him. What the loss was could ot be learned cxactly, but Backman sald it as between $5 and $10. G.

In fact, one: might with truth say it is realism run fampant When seen here last year “The Tornado was crude in parts, the scen badly worked and the cist composed of only or dinary material. But a year on the road has changed these conditicns, and the play last night was greeted with the biggest house of the season. Little do the patrcns of the Fifteenth Street theater care for the brillant wit of Sheridan, the artistic dramatic construction of Pinero, or the lordly language of Sheridan Knowles. They want something with blo“d, heart, vitality in it, scmething that will not require too much think.ng in its solu- ticn, something that is part of thelr lives. They get all this in “The Tornado.” It is crowded witt incident; the characters are well bestowed. It is a play that Hamlin Girland would revel in, that Howells might take a fancy to if he were not &) supremely egot'stic. While the stage carpenter, the gas man, the machinist and numerous work up strong climazes in three acts height of the realistic is reached in a dis- secting room in a Chicago medical college. This scene alone wculd save the reputition of any play. It is daring in the manner of its working out, for the heroine, who Is a supposed suicide, is brought in by body- snatchers for the benefit of the medical students. The husband and hero is the demonstrator on this occasion. With scalpel in hand he is ab:ut to dismembir an arm, the sheet is drawn sway from the white face of the subject and the doetor recognizes his lost wife.
