PROMULGATED THE ORDER Anti-Becret Society Decree of Papal Bee Read in Omaha Churches, WITHOUT COMMEINT FROM THE BISHOP Bentiment Among the Clergy that It Was Unealled for and Will Remaln Dend Letter — Number that Might Be Affected. In all of the Catholic churches in the dlo- cese of Omaha yesterday the decree of Pope Leo requiring all Catholics who may be mem. bers of the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias or Sons of Tempe socleties to withdraw from them was promulgated. The circular of Bishop Scannell to the p:lests reads as fol lows: “I beg to call your attention to a decree of the holy office, dated June, 20, 1894, and approved by the Holy Father Leo XIII, re- ferring In the following terms to the 0Odd Fel- lows, Sons of and Knights of Pythias in the United States of America “The bishops in these parts must striv to keep the faithful out of the three aboy mentioned societies, and from any of them, wherefore let the faithful be warned, and If after this warning they still prefer to adhere to these societies and will not separate they are to be deprived of the (Translation from the Latin.) “Please Instruct your people as to the na- tuze and requirements of the above decree. It is regarded as a fact of considerable significance that the circular is not attended by a single word of comment or specific direction from the bishop, and this enhan a feeling before existing t no special effort will be made to enforce the decree, Indeed if the statements made by several priests in any way represent the sentiment of the whole body of the clerg in the diocese, the decree will be a dead letter, These priests agreed that there was no occasion for the order, and that. it would have no eff It is estimated that there are sever: hun- dred Catholic members of the societies named in this diocese, and they will probably not be molested in their membership, Temperan: one PROGRESS AT BETH-EDE Year's Growth In Church I viewed by t Rev.

The promenade masquerade of the turners, Blven at their hall Saturday night, was a mMOEt exclusive affalr, A pretty. spectacle Was presented on the Gecasion by the many and unique costumes worn by both ladies and gentlemen, and the lengthy program was carried out in & pleasing manner. The committes having the matter in charge was composed of seven active turners, with an equal number of young ladies. They were all dressed in elegant costumes as postil- lions, and formed a pretty company. There were also any number of Tyroleans, Spanish students and other notable costumes. A bevy of young turner ladles appeared as Harlequins and’ executed an interesting drill Ttallan peasant girls mingled with Russia noblemen. A French count of the seve teenth century hobnobed with a Plattduetsche peasant _and'a New York policeman in dis- tress. Faust, the Great, and Mephisto, ma ter of the lower regions, were there, and seemed to enjoy themselves perfectly. Th colored gentleman In costume delighting the assemblage with a banjo selection from the stage, was represented by G. F. Gellen- beck. Reuben and Cynthia rendered a comic KODE in & manner which earned them admira- tion. Mr. AMstadt and Miss Edith Andres participated in this number. Zitzmann brothers in the role of Spanish students played a mandolin and guitar duet and Kuhn and Zitzmann executed another on the zither, The bear division, led by Mr. Altstadt, and equipped with an Italian organ grinder, danced merrily to the tune of the instrument and performed all the tricks of the beasts Of the forests who have submitted to train- ing. Active turners in gay robes and co tumes, as clowns and otherwise, cleverly ex cuted pyramid building. Without exception, every number on the program was carried out successfu ly, and with merriment, laugh- ter and dancing anidnight and the time for unmasking arrived, Good music was furnished by the Turner orchestra, under the leadership of Julius Thiele. Those deserving special credit for the successful ending of the festival are the members of the commitiees, comprising Messrs, F. E. G. Kuehn, chairman; Theo, W Baumer, Ernest Zitzmann, Paul Wurl, Phil Moeller, Emil Wurl, William C.

W. H. Root—"Bill' Root came to Omaha in 18 and lived here for seventeen or elghteen years, Some of those years were stirring, and Mr. Ro stories to tell of the old citizens of the city who are now staid and quite dignified. A number of years ago he moved to Wyoming, and his present address s Laramie. There he has engaged in the pursuit and capture of live wild animals, and has shipped them to the aristocracy of the east and, in fact, of the whole world. This fall he was per- suaded by the democrats to run for the legislature, He went into the campaign, but that is all that need be said. Mr. Root boasts, however, that he received more votes than any other man on the democratic ticket, and five more than the highest vote cast for a populist, Mr. Root was the first man west of the Missouri river to make a business of captur- ing alive the wild animals and birds of this part of the country. While he is ready to get any kind of animal, his specialty is elk, and he has caught and shipped more than 200 of these animals, e last ship- ment he made was to Sir Peter Walker, who lives seventeen mil:s outside of Liver- pool. He knows the habits of these ani- mals thoroughly “The elk, o the Indians westerners, hes many wapita, as it and by a good the largest of th the moose excepted,” said Mr. Root, the other day. “‘Before it was interfered with by the march of civilization across the con- tinent its range extended from Maine to Texas. Now it is only found in the west and is fast disappearing. It is an animal that will eat almost anything, and this is one reason why it can be kept alive so easily in captivity. Unlike any other mem- ber of the deer famil; it can either graze or browse, and consequently, it is found both in timber and on the plains. It will breed well in captivity if it has plenty of room to move around in, but like any other wild 8 closely confined it will not a se facts into consideration, yon will see that it is a very desirable animal with which to stock parks, and within the last four years many of the aristocrats, both of this and other countrigs, have made it a fad to get some of them. HOW THEY ARE CAUGHT. “I catch the greatest part of the animals in Wyoming, although I have caught some in Idaho and Colorado. To gt them one has to go 100 or 150 mi from the railroad track, as they are very shy. In the month of June they can be found in the high hills, and a few of them are caught then, but the right time to get them is earlier, in March and April, when they are down on the plains. They are then very thin, as there is very little old and no new grass at that time of the year. This would not be so if nature were allowed to work out its own way, but you know the advance of the white 1 has changed all this. Naturally the animals would feed in the spring on the grass that borders on the river banks, and as the year advanced they would g0 further and further up the hills, going to the river for a drink and less frequently, as they got further away. Finally they would need water only once in two or three days. When winter and the snow came they would have the grass on the tops of the hills left. This would b> ample to suffice them through the winter, and the snow would furnish all the water ' that they meeded. Like the wild range cattle, these animals know every tuft of grass that lies under the snow. But when the rivers were fenced in and the fences gradually extended, all this was changed. The animals could not get the grass that was on the river banks, and were comp>lled o eat that which nature had provided for their winter food. Con: quently, thousands of them die from star tion, and those that do manage to survive the winter are worn almost to skin and bones. It is the same with the wild range cattle, You hear a good deal about tie number that are frozen to death during a severe and long snow storm, but the simple fact is that they starve to death. Those nimals could live through the sever storm that ever raged if they had food enough, “As I said before, the best time to hunt elic Is in the months of March and April and after a snowstorm, The ranchmen have the herds located before the fall, and know just where to find them. After the storm the hunting party starts out. The snow is soft, and all wear snowshoes. They can keep up with the herd pretty easily, as the elkk hes slender feet, and at eyery step he takes he plunges through the snow, :and soon wears himself out. This applies only to the younges ones, those 3 years old or under, for the big old bulls are strong enough to ge! away. But it is the younger ones that wé want, and they soon fall be- hind. The Aunters are provided with ropes, and when ‘they reach one of the anim struggling /through the snow they cast this around hif head and throw him down, They tie his I¢gs, leave him where he is caught and go Afler the next ome. This is contin- ued for' twelve or fifteen miles before the hunt & finished. Some of the men have caught as many as thirty or thirty-five a day. After the hunters have captured all that they can, they pile the animals on a sledge, and haul them to the corral. There they are loosened, and after they have been fed for a few days they are all right again aud ready for shipment, ARE GOOD KICKE “The shipping is not the easiest work in the world, either.

Two distinguished American comedians made marked the part of Dr. Pan. gloss long before Mr. Russeil made his John 8, Clarke and Joseph Jefferson—and judging from all accounts Mr. Russell's Euccess fs no less brilliant and distinctive than was theirs. Although Mr. Russell opens his Omaha engagement on New Year's eve, which is considered by theatrical peo- ple one of the worst nights in the year, the advasce sale indicates that there will be a large audience. At the matinee tomorrow afternoon Kidder's comedy-drama, “A Poor Relation,” will be the bill. This is the play in which comedy and pathos are beautifully intermingled, and Mr. Russell has the pecullar power of interpreting them such as no other actor on the American age has. At the New Year's per- formance Kidder's other play, ‘“Peaceful Valley,” will be produced, Mr. Russell ap. pearing as Hosea Howe.
