The party came to Omaha yosterday Torning, breakfasted with Captaln H. E. Palmer of the Millard, was given a drive over the city from 10 o'clock until 1 o'cloek, when luncheéon was served for the visitors and General and Mrs. Charles F. Mander- s0m at the Omaha club.

Patriek of New York, the assistant general treas- urer of the board. Besides these offclals there were Mrs. Steele, Mrs. Anderson, Thomas B, Henderson and H. B. Dunbar. In #peaking of the work of the board Mr. Pat- rick erid: Adjourned from June Session. “This is practicallly a meeting adjourned Trom the quarterly gathering in New York, June 30. The board members get together overy three months, usually in Washing- ton in April, when the president, the chiet Justice and the secretary of war, who are ex-officlos, to meet with us; in July at New York; In September at Dayton and down #outh in the winter. From these polnts they go to visit the branches nearest. “Prior to the civil war the nation had no home for volunteer soldlers, but the Day- ton or central home was provided for in 1867 under the organic act of March 31, 1865. In order of establishment the others, which are known as branches, came thus: Milwaukee, 1868; Togus, Me., 1868; Hamp- ton, Ve, 1869; Leavenworth, Kan. Los Angeles, 1887; Marion, Ind., 188 ville, I1l, 1897; Johnmson City, Tenn., and then this last for the Springs. '‘The mountain branch in Tennessee isn't ready for oscupancy yet, but at those al- 1eady estabilshed we are carlng for about 26,000 of the old veterans, 6,000 of whom are at the Dayton iustitution. The rest are at the various branches to the number of be- tween 2,500 and 3,000 each—which Is more than any branch was originally Intended to vecommodat Why Homes Are Needed. may seem somewhat surprising that ‘we have now more wards than ever before, but It must be remembered that in the last 1wo years of the civil war there was a very heavy enlistment of very young men, who Are now just entering their sixtles and feeling the effect of old wounds and dis- vases. From the ranks of those who fought in the late wars we have received very fow as yet—possibly less than 100. The average age of the jumates now Is between 62 and 63 years. The only requirements are Lonora- ble discharge from the service and wounds or disease which date from the war and now render {hem incapable of eupporting them- selves, he premises of all the homes are in Nigh state of improvement and the proper- ties represent millions. Each home, too, has its own cemetery, kept in the very best of condition, and wheneyer an inmate of the home 1s called he is given a military fu- neral with martial band and honorary es- «ort, and 1s burled in his uniform. I men- tion these' things not as news particularly, but as reminders of how considerate the government that he helped to save is of the American soldier, even after death. By contrast the pension pald by the British sovernment cr the invalage of the French seem) small indeed.

This latter figure 1s very small, however, and of the disposition of the money given we have nothing to say. So far as we are concerned a state home may spend It as it sees fit, but a quarterly report is made to this board that we may have knowledge of what is being dome. The alm is that the state homes shall provide for theéir inmats s well as the natliousl home does. There are twenty- nine of them In twenty-six states (Ne- braska, New York and New Jersey each ave two) and thelr Inmates number about 10,000, I believe. “For the Hot Springs establishment there Is appropriation of $150,000 and $30,000 for the tramsportation of men who are to be sent there and for similar expenditures that will necessary.

Young Baldwia formerly lived in this city with his father, E. T, Baldwin, st 3562 Harney street, and two left here in 1900 for Alsska. Bald- win was drowned by the capsizing of his boat while he was trying to put s load of gasoline on board the steamer Diamond K. near the mouth of Coyote creek. He clung to & case of gasoling for a time, but sank before he could be recovened. The body could mot be recovered. Baldwin was 19 years old.

Without any previous warning, Hughes told the police, the men rushed at him and one of them struck him. A hurry up call was sent to the police station and & half-dozen colored men who were around the place were erresfed on suspicion, but Hughes {s uable to say who struck him. His injuries were dressed at the station. Amusements. Despite tke cloud-laden skies which emitted light showers at intervals during the afternoon the usual big Sunday attend- ance was attracted to Krug park yesterday and the animation and pleasant expressions of those present attested the fact that hap- piness reigned supreme. The swings and wee-saws were crowded with children whose enthusiasm was even mol pronounced programs by Huster's splendid concert band, embracing popular selections by the standard composers, delighted the music- lovers, while a trombone solo by J. L. Kline, who made his local debut in this role, received warm applause, That which probably attracted more special attention was the moving pictures of the Mont Pelee volcanie disaster, which is being featured for the secomd week, which was recom- mended by the big crowds it has at- tracted, It gives a vivid idea of the ter- rible catastrophe, showing eruption and the pouring down of the redhot lava on the doomed city of St. Plerre, through which the maddened flames sweep. Two performances by the Loretto family, in- cluding Norine and Pauline, the youngest horizontal bar performers in the world, contributed the most pretentious and pleas- ing vaudeville feature. Prot. J. Waldorf Hall used his ninety-four foot ballon, which Is constructed to carry two people and gave a thrilling high ascension es- timated as the highest of the season. As he went upward he gave an exhibition on the trapese. Miss Venetta, the cornet virtuosa, rendered four numbers. The burro excursions, bowling alleys, merry- go-rounds, shooting courts and the other pastime devices and the cate had a heavy patronage. — MESSENGER BOYS VICTORIOUS in Chicago Return nted | Youthful Strik to Work, Having Been G More Pay.

With the exception of Boston Green, she has been arrested more than any person in Omaha. John H.

The woman told the police that Way came to her house Sunday morning, and after being refused admit- tance, kicked In the front door and walked in.

GRASSERS ARE IN PRIME CONDITION Wyoming Promises Send that Will Reach the Made Last Year, Which Was the Top. to Cattie Record While cattle and hog receipts the stock yards here continue to show an in- crease over the samo perlod of time last year, there is a deflelt in sheep receipts. Commission men, however, expect that a large proportion of the deficency in sheep receipts will be made up before the end of the year. A great deal of Interest Is being manifest by those dealing in live stock in the con- | dition of cattle on the ranges. Heavy ship- ments of grass cattle are looked for before long, and additional facilities for the hand- 1ing of heavy runs have been provided by the management of the Stock Yards com- pany. In talking about conditions in Wyoming last evening, a well known Wyoming stock- grower said that unless the early summer | signs fail Wyoming cattle sent to this market this fali will rank well with any shipped here last year and topped the ma: ket. Herds in the eastern part of Wyo- ming are in excellent condition and give promiss of improving before being shipped. Timely rains have redeemed the injury dond by the dry spell earlier In the season and the range grass is mow as good as it was last year at this time. What is wanted now, sald this stockman, s for the feed to get into condition for curing and thus provide late fall pasturage. A great deal of cow stuft will be shipped here this sum- mer and fall on account of the govern- | ment's order directing that range fences be taken down. It is expected here that heavy shipments of grass cattle will tend to break the market to some extent and result in cheaper beef. Building High School Annex, Contractor Kavan is pushing the work on the three-room frame addition to the High school annex, Twenty-sixth and M streets. The excavating for the founda- tion ‘has been completed and material fs arriving on the ground dally. While it may not be possible to complete and fur- nish this addition by the time school opens in September the contractor expects to be able to turn the building over to the school district by the end of September. With the three additional rooms at this annex the overcrowded condition of the lower grades at the Central school will be relieved, thus giving more room for the more advauced puplls. The two-room addition to the Hawthorne achool will also help to reduce the pressure at the High school building and will tend to do away with the renting of outside rooms at Twentieth and L streets. It s the intention of the Board of Edu- cation to let the contract for the two-room addition to the Albright school as soon as the detalls can be arranged. Another Dry Sunday. Contrary to the expectations of some yes- terday was another dry Sunday in South Omaha. Mayor Koutsky declined to rescind his order for Sunday closing. Yesterday was the third Sunday of the present dry spell, and as on the other two Sundays the down- town streets were practically deserted. Members of the Anti-Saloon league kept a patrol out and visited a number of resorts where It was thought that liquor might be An extremely hot night, a prominent tamily away from home, and suspiclous neighbors in a fashionable part of the city recently caused the police to make a hurry-up run at 2 o'clock in the morning, and caused a prominent politiclan who bad never before been charged with any- thing worse than being a politiclan, eon- siderable worry and mortification. The fact that the man is a prominent politi~ cian and is & good glad-hander is the reason the police have suppressed his name. One night last week when the weather was considerable closer than some peoplo are as to who the governor will appoint on the new police board, this politiclan was requested to remain in the house of & friend who was leaving town in com- pany with his family. ' The neighbors knew of the leaving of the family, but they aid not know of the family's arrangements with the politiclan. About midnight the politician arrived at his friend’s house to spend the night. After donning & long white nightdr: he proceeded to amble about in search of the coolest room in the house, lighting the gas in the various rooms as he examin them and turning it out as he left. The nelghbors saw the lights. One of them telephoned the police. Five officers In charge of a sergeant rushed to the place of the suspected burglary. ‘They surrounded the house fore and aft. The sergeant went up on the porch and gave the electrio. bell a long-drawn-out punch and stepped back with a club in one hand and a revolver in the other to catch Mr. Man as he ran from the house. The officers closed in on the sides and rear. A second pull at the bell brought results. A man's head appeared over the banisters of the second-story porch. “What's the matter?” he said. Instantly the officers closed in under the porch. “Come down,” answered the sergeant, ‘we want you. But I belong here,” sald the politician; “you don’'t want me; I'm Mr. Blank." “It you're mot down here in two min- utes,” was the answer, ““we will take a poke at you, and come down the way you went up, too; climb down the post; guess you're used to it And the politician id, nightclothes and all. He exhibited his face, which though 80 degrees whiter than usual, was recog- nized. He had gone tg sleep on the porch. The neighbors npnlon}ua. Among the facts that Judge C. T. Dick- lnson of the district bench léarned during his recent Nshing excureion through Holt and adjoining counties was that a little hair on a man's face may make a heap of ifterence. He and his son, D. W., court stenographer for Judge Baxter, started on their outing in old clothes, broad hats and smooth-shaven faces. They were in with a crowd of the old time sportsmen of the neighborhood and although the judge is well known up thete he wasn't readily recognized in his new gulse, They passed through the premises of one James Early and were followed & few hours later by another party. The members of the second party inquired of Early it he had lately seen any fiy-danglers thereabouts, and the man of sunrise name promptly responded: “Yep.

One of the important matters to be con- sidered by the councii ton'ght Is the repav- ing, or rather the repairing, of Twenty- fourth stregt. Bids will be received by the’ city clerk as late as 5 p. m. today, and if | there is anything in street rumors there is lable to be some competition for this work. A number of resolutions ordering cross walks in various parts of the city have been under consideration by the street and alley committee for a week and a report s ex- pected tonight. Quite a number of new cross walks are badly needed, as well as r pairs to some. With the requests for street improvements now on file the street fore- man’s force will be kept busy until cold weather sets in. Magie City Gossip. M. E.

He had been in the dry goods business all his life and knew nothing about newspaper manage- ment, but that made np difference. He would apply to journalism, he sald, the same broad, safo principles that had proved o effective in his mercantile life. On the day the mew proprietor assumed control the managing editor showed him about the office. ‘What's that thing for?” asked the mer- chant-journalist, pointing to the pre “That's the press—the machine we print the papers on. “U-m-m, hum-m-m.

That was a good yarn that Judge Patrick told about scaring the tenderfoot speech- less out in camp, but I can give him point- ers in that game. Along in 1888 a young fellow came out to West Texas from St. Louis who knew it all. He was a nice enough fellow until it came to telling sto- ries, and then he seemed to think that he had to beat us all or break a trace trying. “He went out on a camp hunt with our gang, and the second night out we decided that something must be done or we would lose our reputation for entertaining stran- gers. We had in the eamp outfit a rubber syphon about five feet long that we used to draw—er—er—water out of a keg that somehow had got mixed In with the food- stuffs. After supper I colled this up tightly and put it to soak in a vail of water so that it would be fust a little bit ehilly and be ready for immediate action when needed. Then, sitting around the fire with pipes go- ing, we got to telling snake storles until the whole lot felt a little bit creepy. At @ late hour we turned in, and before very long our friend from the effete east was in the land of dreams—snake dreams. The night was pretty warm and he lay with the collar of his flannel shirt wide open, snor- ing like & good fellow. Creeping out to the water pail, I got that syphon, all nicely coiled up, and dropped it way down on his wishbone.

And we never did find that syphon. The next day our friend decided that the strenuous life of the Staked Plains was too rich for hi blood.” “Well, that's one on me!" exclaimed Special Agent Llewellyn of the rural mail service, wiping the perspiration off his face. Te had just found an item he had been hunting for for hours In a Denver paper. And this is how it all came about: Special Agent Llewellyn received a let- ter Sunday from Special Agent Clark, tem- porarily in charge of the headquarters of the western division at Denver, containing pereonal as well as officlal information. Among other things the letter referred to an enclosed mewspaper clipping with the hope that the matter reterred to might not come to the attention of the department at Washington, as it might make trouble, but with the added assurance that if it did the boys would surely stand behird him. Search for the clipping, however, proved fruitless, as the -writer had plainly for- gotten to enclose it. Liewellyn racked his brain to discover what mischief he had been into that should be taken up by the newspapere. The more he thought shout it the more scary ho became, knowing the erity of the discipline enforced by his superlor officers in the rural free delivery. Unable to contain himself he finally wired his friend Clark: “No clipping in letter. What is it all about? Then the advice was given to hunt up the item himself in the exchanges of the Bee. He caught up the idea at once and was soon rewarded. There stood the ftem without mistake. It was a police court re- port of a hilarious eoldier who when ar- rested for trying to clean out a Denver drug store soda fountaln howled forth: “Leave me alone. I'm a friend of Liewel- Iyn's and he'll see that I'm taken care of!” According to the story, however, the soldler's friendship for Llewellyn did not save him from the usual fine, nor will it ave Liewellyn from paying for the drinks when be again reports to headquarters in Denver. When one of the patrolmen of the police department was returning the other day from arresting a tin can which was disturb- ing & portion pf the West Farnam district by tollowing & pet pussy cat about on the end of her tall—it was this way: A woman, whose volce betrayed excitement, called up the station and sald: “Some bad boys bave tied & can to a cat's tail and it Is acting terribly and we are so frightened at it. You must send a policeman up immediately.” £he called up five times to say this. It seemed hard to refuse such an agpeal from a lady—too dificult—so the officer went up and cut the cat from the can while seven- teen of the neighbors stood about and made glad nolses and the little girl who owned the pussy cried. Well, returning after this, the officer paseed a lodging bouse where the inmates had just discovered a drunken man asleep in the tasement. They were trylug to waken the man and the officer joined in. They yelled and shook the sleeper and hauled him about. But he slept. Then the po- liceman began to beat the sole of the ma foot, which is & sure way. But he seemed hard to waken and the copper beat harder. Finally the drunk one moved uneasily, made seven inarticulate noises and openmed bis eves. He sald: “Why do you beat that foot %0 bard?
