gostions of Buitable Gifta for the New attloship Nebraska UNELE SAM PROVIDES GOOD LIBRARIES Basts, Figure-Heads, Paintings, Flag Tablets and Other Decorat for the Ship Are Mens tloned, The lower house of the state legislature has passed a bill appropriatiog $2,000 for the purchase of a library to be presented 10 the battleship Nebraska, but as the fed- eral government provides all of its men- o'-war with an ample supply of books, it appears that the gift would not be fitting Therefore it behooves the state officials before proceeding further in thé laudable undertaking of placing a memento of its namesake on the new battleship to make solection of something other than a li- brary. Several well known Omaha men and women, when arked for suggestions, gave out the followlng General Fitzhugh Lee To suggest a me- mento for the state of Nebraska to present | 10 the battleship bearing its name is a lit- tle out of my line, because I'm & soldier and not a sailor. 1 have been aboard many of the vessels of the navy, however, and 1 know they are all provided with libraries— and very good ones, too. 1 don't think it is possible to make a serviceable addition to any of the hook stores on the men-o'-war, and a lbrary would, in my opinion, be the worst possible selection for a gift from the state. Anything else would be preferable. 1 think the memento should be something peculiarly suggesiive of the state. A bust or figurchead emblematical of some con- spicuous event in the history of Nebraska would be my suggestion Permanent State Reminder, Dean Campbell Fair—Nebraska ought to place something in the battleship that will be a’permanent reminder of the atate, ity men and its products. At first thought 1 would suggest a large oil painting of from twelve to twenty portraits of the most dis- tinguished citizens Nebraska has had—the men who have glven the ablest and most effective service in the development of the state. These portraits could be painted on one canvas, say about $x11 feet, with a massive frame carved to represent the products of the state. Such a plcture could be placed in the officers’ mess room, where all of the men of the ship could see it ogea- sionally and where all visitors could ine spect It Luther Drake—I (hink it is a splendia Idea for the state to present to the new battleship that is to bear its name a me- mento of |ts greatness, but it is a very iz fleult matter to suggest the form and sub- stance of the gift. It is“ap important ques- tion that ought to be carefully considered before action fs taken. Silver plate, I un- derstand, s the usual gift on occasions of this kind, but that is something for the exclusive use of the oficers of the ship, and on that account I don't ought to follow the custom. 1 think we ought to get suggestions from men of the navy as to what would be acceptable. M. A. Hall—In England it is the custom to present a new battleship with an elegant set of colors, and I don't know any reason why such a gift would not be acceptable to a man-o'-war of the United States There are various flags used by the navy of the country, perhaps a dozen different de- signs. 1 would suggest that the state give the new battleship a set of colors made of the most costly materials and to be used #r the decoration of the vessel only on gala occaslons. Give the Men a Chance. Mrs. W. F. Milroy—I would not care to suggest anything to be presented to the Pattleship Nebraska by the state in lieu of hooks without giving the question some careful thought. 1 will say, however, that 1 am opposed to the custom of making pres- ents that can be used and appreciated only by the officers. Something that could be used or enjoyed by all the men on board ought to be given, How would a fine auto- matic musical fustrument do? I mean some- thing of the finest workmanship and lasting ln quality, Mrs. Draper Smith—The thought of the nature of the gift, aside from a library, ha not occurred to me, although I think it should be something practical. develop that the gift the state should be inappropriate I would urge that the gift should be something useful, something that would be of prac- tical service to the men, rather than some- thing that would carry with it nothing but sentiment. of the men to the state might be of educs tional’ value, but I would prefer in the idea of the gift, Mrs. bronze tablet to represent a herd of ante- lopes, with a band of Indians in pursult, 1 would have this mounted in some con- think our state | It it should of a library as a momento for the Nebraska on the part of Something to call the attention to have the useful and the practical also included Abraham Allee—I would suggest a THE OMAH DAILY BEE: MONDAY ward, George W.

BLAMES NO ONE FOR DEATH Jury Exonerates Tra for Double Ki Columbus, COLUMRUS, Neb., March 17.—(8pecial.) Coroner P H. Metz, me down from Humphrey this morning and empannellod a jury and held an inquest over the re- malus of Mr. and Mrs. Joslah McFarland, | who were instantly killed at a grade cros- sing, a mile west of town yesterday. George McFarland, a son of the aged couple, testified that just after they left the house about a quarter of a mile from the place of the accident, he saw the train | approaching; watched and saw them struck; {!m n hurried to the place. Fireman Moran | sald he saw the buggy approaehing; en- [y r whistled for the crossin believed that they saw the train; but was satisfied afterward that they did not; shouted warning to engineer; but was too late to | stop. Just an instant before they were | struck, the old couple looked squarely up Into Moran's face. Engineer Wambaugh could not see the buggy approaching from his side of train | the first imitation of anything wrong was when the fireman called to him. He did not then know what It was, but knew from Moran's looks that something was wrong; applied emergency brake; then saw a horse come out from his side of the engine and run away The jury after hearing the evidence re- turned a verdict that death was caused | by an accident, and not due to any negli- | Kence on part of the train crew. | — TWO CAUCUS CALLS ARE OUT Thelr Cireulation for Leglslutive Sig- natares Will Be Resumed in neoln Today. LINCOLN, March 17.—(Special Telegram,) ~This has been one of the quietest Sun- days of the session so far as the legisla- ture is concerned. Almost every membor has been out of the city, and senatorial matters are at a standstill. Tonight a few of the members have returned and all are expected to be back by tomorrow. Then the work of circulating the new caucus calls | will be resumed and some definite result is | 100ked for. There are two calls out, the one by Wil- kinson having some thirty-six names signod to it. It provides for forty-six to nominate, |with an option of open or secret ballot, and makes no distinction as to which candi- date shall be first chosen. This plan is objected to on account of the opttonal bal- lot form. The other call provides for forty- elght to nominate, an open ballot and the choice of the North Platte candidate to be made first, NO DRINK, SO HE SMASHES “Buck” Adams Wrecks Back of Refused Liquor PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., March 17.—(8pe- clal.)—Mrs. Carrie Nation has not visited Plattsmouth, but “Buck’” Adams went iyto the saloon of Hans Goos this afternoon and, laying a nickel on the counter, called for a drink. refused.

President Hickey gave out the following: *“The Pueblo franchise has been transterred to Colorado Springs, flattering financial inducements having been offered by the latter place. “The grievance of Sloux City against the league has been amicably settled. That is all 1 care to say at present.” W. H. Watkins, representing Indianapolis, was called into the conference for the first time tonight. Mr. Packard, who holds the Denver franchise, is unwilling to transfer his club to another city, and this may result in the formation of a ten-club league, viz. Denver, Colorado Springs, Omaha, Kansas City, Des Moines, St. Joseph, St. Paul, Min neapolis, Indianapolis and Louisyille. The likelihood of Milwaukee getting a berth in the ieague is not good, Walte Wilmot, who wus after the franchise for that city, practically admlitting that he haa &lven up hope, The grievance of Sioux City was on ac- count of certaln expenses incurred by capl- talists there in an endeavor to secure the transfer of the Denver club to that place, These Sure of a Place. As the matter now stands it is positively certain that the following clubs will be in the circutt: St. Paul, Minneapolls, Dea Moines, Ownha, St. Joseph, Kansas City, Denver aud Colorado Springs. If the league is limited to eight clubs, these will consti- tute the entire circuit. Three managers favor expansion. In this event Louisville and Indianapolis would be the first con- sidered.

For this reason he declined to sell or trans- fer his team, so long as he saw any chance of remaining in the league. He received four or five propositions for his franchise, but refused positively to entertain one. With these conditions prevailing it became absolutely necessary to take Denver in and extend the league boundaries westward. It was necessary to get another city near Denver in order to break from Kansas Clty or Omaha, and Pueblo was not wanted. No other was avallable but Colorado Springs, and Mr. Rourke states that this was preferable to all. Its float- ing population, including that of Manitou, will reach nearly, if not quit, 40,000, and it is belleved by the Omaba magua: would be a paying town. There was a demand by some to retain Sloux City, Mr. Beall, who comes from that city to Minneapolis, belug one of those who urges this move, but the majority were opposed to keeping the lowa town in the league on account of its slze.

Johnson had purchased the stage route plying between the Platte river and Dakota City from B. and W. Bennett. The line was advertised to pass through the towns of Plattsmouth, Bellevue, Omaha, Saratoga, Florence, Fort Calhoun, DeSoto, Cuming City, Tekemah, Decatur, Black- bird, Omadi, Dakota and Logan. Many of these “‘tow existed only in the minds of the sanguine promoters and have since vanished from the maps.

Have to Show Them One of the peculiar features of all the advertisements of that day was the fact that each man published a list of references. In @& country where every man was a stranger this was advisable, but it must have been of little advantage. The per- sons referred to generally resided in the castern home of the advertiser, and could be communicated with only by the lapse of time. One man refers to the residents of Philadelphia, another to those of Port- land, Me., others to people in Missourl and Arkansas Among the old advertisers were several still known to business circles of the state, but the majority have gone out of business and @ large number have died. The list embraces Binclair & V der, George B. Bargeut, J M. Parker, B. B. Springer, E. P. Brewster, B. P. Knight, G. 8. Sperry, M. D., James C Mitchel!, Horace May, Mabum Harwood, A. J.
