10 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, AY 380, 190 NEGRO CL.\I\!S BIG ESTATE| John Flanagan Bays Hn is Rightful Owner of Boyd's Addition. CLAIMANT OVER HUNDRED YEARS OLDi In Givieg Testimony Plaintif Says | “M Bryan am Jes Fritterin' His Time Away" Trying to Be President. Uncle John Flanagan was In Judge Dick- fnson’s court yesterday with his attor- | ney seeking to quiet title in himself to forty acres of ground that was once part | of the B. Taylor farm, but is now known as Boyd's addition. Uncle John avers that he secured title from Taylor, but | former Governor Boyd made the same | claim and decded much of it to parties who | have sincé orected fine residences there | and made an aristocratic residence district of it. Should the plalntiff succeed there may be a general upheaval in the addi- tlon. Thursday court were terest by in in- Uncle | proceedings an unusual fact that John, who 1o tolored man, “bowed | with the weight of centuries,” and with bushy gray hair quite picturesque, belleves himselt 109 years old, but has no knowl- edge of chronology and was obliged, in giving testimony, to recovnt the epochs of | hbis life as dating from the time of some well known public events. For instance, | Mbe remembers that his mother toldihim he | was forty years old the day of the great shower of meteors, which was in 1833, and | that he came to Nebraska immediately | i after the battle of Fort Donelson, early in | ‘the war. Refers to Some Presidents. In the cross-examination the attorney | for John Mathison, first of several defend- ants In the present suit, sought to test| Uncle John and the proceeding was in sub- | stance as follows “Where were was president?” Right out on dat sah."” “Where were you when Grant was presi- dent?” “Same place, eah.” “Where were you when Andrew Johnson was president?” Oh, 1 was jes a young An'rew Jackson served.” “Not Andrew Jackson; Andrew Johnson.” “Ob, 1 mistooken what you eald. I—I- @on't eeem to somehow recollick’t dls Johnson you menshion, less he was de man } wit Lincoln." “Well, now, Uncle John, do you remember when James G. Blaine was president?” “Oh, yes, veah well, sah, on'y it kind ‘o seems like dah was some hitch about his gittin’ into de White House." “And do you remember when Conkling was president?” “Who you say?’ ‘Roscoe Conkling.” » "“No, sah, I don’t know nuffin’ 'bout de gen’leman.” Remember Cleveland " “Yes, sah. He was kind o' eplit up and | come back once aftah we turned him down." ““Well, do you remember when Bryan was morning's glven the a you living when Lincoln | same Taylor farm, slave when Roscoe 1d Uncle Bill, with a cbuckle, “dat I comes as near rememberin’ it as Mistah Bryan does.

The Lawd intended Mistah Bryan to be a auctioneer, and he jes fFitterin’ his time away tryin’ to do these othah things. OMAHA'S RESORTS OPEN, Courtland Beach and Leke Manawa Reopen for Summer Se ‘With fine weather the reopening of Court- Jand Beach on today promises to even outdo its initial opening on Memorial day in 1893, when, it will be remembered, the crowd was so great that many were com- pelled to walk home, as the street car serv- ice on the beach line was packed to over- flowing. However, no one need fear a repe- tition of that feature of that most eventful occaslon, as now the Omaha Street Rallway company has a double track direct to the beach and Superintendent Tucker promises to handle Courtland Beach traffic even bet- er than he did the Immense throngs at the Transmississippl exposition, and no one dlrrl hope Courtland Beach will get this year such crowds as did the exposition—no ma ter how attractive Manager Grifiths may succeed in making his popular resort. With the many new attractive features, in addi- tion to the magnificent picnic grounds, so finely shaded, beautiful lawns, flower, foll- age and rose beds, dressed in most attrac- tive form and color, Courtland Beach fur- nishes a rare and pleasing view in itselt worth the 10 cents admission charged. The old favorite switchback continues in its old location ready for all its friends. Few cities have a more beautiful watering resort than is Lake Manawa, with its fine, sandy beach. Manhattan Beach, heretofore taxed to its utmost capacity because o! its limited bath house accommodations, will this season be tully capable of accommodat- iog everybody who desires to bathe. An almost unlimited number of fine bath rooms entirely does away with a possible recur- Tence of this disagreeable feature. Manawa park offers unusual attractions for its formal opening today. Covalt's Manawa band of selected musicians and so- lolsts from all parts of the country and some members just arrived from abroad, will give afternoon and evening concerts during the season. The twenty colored troubadours have arrived and will assist in entertaining patrons. Numerous other at- tractions will be found that cannot but please one and all who attend the opening. on.

Sherman avenue cars began running to the beach yesterday afternoon and ther: was a large number of sightseers anxious how Omaha's favorite popular resort looked. Last even- to see !ing quite a number of people visited the beach and found everything in readiness for the grand opening today. The street cars will run today every minute or half-minute, as the occasion demands,and Superintendent Tucker says no one need feel that the serv- fee will be inadequate, a8 he will personally | see that enough cars are on hand to carry all with comfort Of course there are a few finishing | touches that will have te be added today, but generally speaking everything is ready Many special attractions awalt beach pa- trons and a merry and pleasant time will doubtless be enjoyed by all who attend. Afternoon and evening concerts by Nordin's fine orchestra, balloon ascensions, the four Langford's in their most amazingly won- derful aerlal performances and the old- time favorite switchback rallway are among the attractions. MOORES KNOWN IN EUROPE Mythical Matrimonial Bureau Attracts Attention Where Omaha s Unknown, Mayor Moores' mytnical matrimontal bureau is constantly developing new phases and s evoking correspondence, to much of which attaches more than passing inter- est. A woman living in Birmingham, England, addresses her envelope as fol- lows: “To His Worship, the Mayor of Omaha, U. 8. A." She goes on to say that she {s married to a jeweler who beats her and, as she Intends to leave him soon, would ke to know the name of some mar- riageable Nebraska young man. From Ireland comes a letter addressed: “To the Lord Mayor, City of Omaba, pro bono publico.” A Toledo, 0., woman ad- dresses the envelope thus: ‘Moores’ Mat- rimonial Bureau, Omaha, Neb. A letter of genuine interest comes from Mary Munchhoff, the Omaha vocallst, who is making a tour of the world. She writes from Berlin under date of May 2 to say that the German papers are making a great “todo” over Nebraska's ‘‘nterna- tional marriage scheme,” and adds: I am being besieged with letters and vi its from matrons with marriageable daugh- ters, who wish to possess one of you matrimonial books. 1 dare say you have never heard of me, and wonder at the liberty 1 'take in writing you. I beg to refer you to your good friend, the Hon. CountJ. A. Creighton, He will tell you that I am'a singer and that I have sung in a great many European cities and al- ways as being from wmaha. The word “Omaha" appears on all my programs. The latter fact -has been the cause of my having to talk lot (and that tires a singer's vocal chords more than singing would) in order to explain where Omaha is situated and that the inhabitants are cultured, refined, progressive and, above all, civilized. But what will one not do for the glory of Omaha! In all my travels I've only met one post- office officlal and two or three other per- sons who had ever heard of Omaha. It is most provoking! Even those who had sted on South Omaha corned beef didn't know. You may think as I do that Europe is in sad need of schools where geography is better taught. 1 am glad, however, to state that the natives over here do take an interest in Omaha. I've seen fathers | ana mothers look it up on the map and re. _\nl(‘o when “fat," too. in'Cologne a gentleman told, me he had looked up Omaha in Myers' Conversation Lexicon—and found it, if you please! He went on to tell me that Omaha boasts of the largest smelting works In the' world, ete. I let him tell it all. Although it was no nf'" to me it wn to those who stood listening. Miss Munchoff concludes by saying that she hopes to be in Omaha again before snow flles and that, meanwhile, It the mayor will send her a few coples of his book on matrimony she will pledge herself to place them where they will do the most good. BEMIS AND REALTY EXCHANGE Former Mayor they found Omaha—printed Congratulates Estate Men on Thelir Success | in Tax Fight, Re. At the meeting of the Real Estate ex- change Wednesday a letter was read from George P.

In almost every neighborhood someone has died from an attack of colic or cholera morbus, often before medicine could be procured or a physiclan summoned. A re- liable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk is too grest for anyone to take.

KRUG PARK ENTERTAINS. Representatives the Shown the Passion Play. of Press Are The Passion Play was given Wednesday evening at Krug park for the first time this season as a speclal rehearsal for repre- sentatives of the press. These plictures are of the 1900 production of the play and were taken direct from the theater production for the first time. Heretofore all pictures of this celebrated production have simply been tableaux that were glven from which to make plctures. This production gives a complete view of the entire Passion Play and shows the life of Christ from a car- penter working at the bench to the resur- rection in the tomb. Hester's band of thirty musiclans h been engaged and promises to be one of the leading attrac- tions for the park this summer. The man- agement {8 the same as last season, Messrs.

Telephons 238 MAYOR ISSUES PROCLAMATION His Homor Requests that Places of ness Be Closed at Noon. Mayor Moores yesterday issued the fol- lowing Memoria! day proclamation: To the Citizens of Omaha: Tomorrow is Memorial day, when every person will have an opportunity to show Ris lovaity and patriotism. This day ought to have a pe- cullar significance to the American people, as it in the one day of the year when all are called upon to show thelr respect to the memory of those who gave up their lives to preserve to us the libertfes which we_enjoy. There s an unfortunate tendency in these later years to forget the purpose for which Memorial day was established and to make it a mere hollday for recreation and ath- letic sports. Let us not forget that to- morrow the natjon mourns in love and gratitude over the graves of the bravest and best men who ever dled In the cause of liberty. In behaif of the Grand Army of the Re- public 1 would request that all stores, shops and places of business be closed for the day at noon, so that all may have an opportunity to participate in the patriotic exercises which have been arranged. 1 would suggest, too, that every residence and place of business display the flag at half-mast.

DENY STORY OF WATER CURE Bergeants of Twunty Beovnd Denounce Be~ port Published in Oincinnati, DECLARE IT A TISSUE OF FALSEHOOD They Say Their Company Killed Only One Native While Not in Bat and that Fatality Was Warranted. | G. W. Barnes and Chris Barth, sergean! of Company L, Twenty-second infantry, stationed at Fort Crook, came to Omaha yesterday to refute a stigma placed on their regiment and company by Sergeant Alfred J. Hummel {n an interview published in the Cincinnati Enquirer of May 11. In the interview, which purports to have been glven to the Enquirer correspondent Evansville, Ind, Hummel says he has helped to administer the water cure to hun~ dreds of natives while serving as duty ser- geant of Company L, Twenty-second regl- ment, in the Philippines. He goes on to say: When we natives we gave the water cure to the sually had a dozen or fifteen of them, We would tie their hands behind them, throw them upon their backs, tie handkerchiefs over their mouths and ‘then pour water Into thelr lungs through the nose. When the lungs become inflated some soldler jumps upon the breast with his feet, The legs and bodies of the victim sweil all_out of proportion and the eye bulge. The second dose was generally fatal. When, after the first dose, the native would persist in refusing to give the sol- diers the Information wanted he would be given a second dose. This killed him. While the cure was being administered it required three or four soldiers to hold the victim down. I know one man who was given the cure four times and it did not kill him, but this was an exception. 1 have myself helped to give the cure to as high as nine men in one day and in all have partici- pated in about 200 such operations. Sergeant Barnes' Statement. In reference to the foregoing Sergeant Barnes said “I am personally acqualnted with Ser- geant Hummel, who gave this interview. He served with us in Luzon during our three years' campaign there, from March, 1899, to March, 1902, and as to his inter- view, I can say that it is a tissue of false- hoods. There never was a native killed by the administration of the water cure by a soldier or soldiers of Company L dur- ing that campaign. And there never was but one native killed by the men of Com- pany L outside of an actual engagement and the circumstances of that were fully warranted. It was while we were at Barrio, San Fernando, Luzon. Tbe fellow was charged with boloing Sergeant Ray of Company H, and, while in the presence of { 200 natives and 150 United States soldiers, being interviewed by the Interpreter, he tried to escape. He ran about 100 vards and was then shot by a soldler and killed. “As to the water cure, I can say that I never saw it given. My only knowledge of it is from hearing it described by others. It it was practiced in the-regiment, which I doubt, it must have been without au- | thority, since the policy of all the officers was concillatory and humane to the high- est degree.
