THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: ¥FRID AUGUST 1, 1902. .IFF THE PUBLIC ONLY KNEW! Here is gne incident which tells a tale. A prominent wholesale house in this section, who control a ten cent brand of cigar, have been having it made by a factory for about $60.00 per thousand. They probably wish to im- ¢ prove its character and at the same time save money. [lr.

COLONEL CODY'S BIC SHOW . Wild West Exhibition Delights Thousands of Admiring Nebraskans. GREAT OVATION FOR THE VETERAN SCOUT " His Fellow Citisens Cheer Him on the Streets and, Ag: While His Great Performance is in Progress, At Twentieth and Paul streets for two hours yesterday afternoon nearly 15,000 people lived over agaln the days of the pathfinder, the ploneer and the settler. Lived in the atmosphere of the plains, tho Wild West and the battle ground! Lived with Buffalo Bill and his 500 spectacular pertormers! In the morning the veteran scout had led bis cohorts through the principal streets and thousands that lined the walks cheered the sight. It was a Nebraskan of Nebraska marshaling under him the people of many 1ands and the crowd ltked the idea. It liked the Nebraskan, too, and the ovation wi one that may live long in the colonel's merory. The parade occupled from 10 to 11 o'clock #nd at noon the crowd tirned toward the exhibition grounds. Some had come miles to see the performance and its chief feat- ure, and these knew no better place to be than at the ropes of the immense arena. Hundreds were from small surroundl; towns and they proposed to see all that could be seen. Cody had fifty cgllers in the first hours of the afternoon. Sw ot Splendid Riders, At 2 o'clock the seats were banked com- fortably full and Harry Clarence, the an- mouncer, took his signal banuer and thunder volce out to the center of the arena and started things. Five minutes later he was ht of In a swarm of the world's best . Pirst had come the Indians in squads of six, with Chlef Iron Tail last.

In the third line were the Rough Riders, the Mexicans and the cowboys. In the fourth were the Cubans, the Tenth ¢avalrymen and the Arsb tumblers mounted. In the fifth, western equestriennes and In- dian youths and squaws. In the sixth, the Fifth and Sixth cavalrymen. When the plcture was drawn Colonel Cody himselt rode out to give it its finishing touch and to acknowledge with graceful salute the hearty applause that then reached its great- est volume. Promptly the perform sa- luted after him; then broke to race out the arena in streams of yellow, red, green, white and the minor shades of the cosmo- politan costuming. After this kaledioscople esemble had faded, the acts of the bill followed with dash and precision. In “the race of the Cossack vied with Arab, Mexican vied with Turk and past them all, lashing turiously though they were, the dare-devil cowboy flitted, triumphant. Following this came an exhibition by two artillery squads, who detached carriages, saluted, aimed, fired, cleaned, coupled and were gone again in the twinkling of an eye. It was real cannonading—so real that ome man was blown to pleces and another maimed in & previous exhibition. a Some Real Western Touches. Mules dragged into the arena two prairie schooners, accompanied by settlers, thelr familles, a detachment of colored infantry, several cowboys and Mexicans. The ‘“‘greas- ers” started ropirg for amusement, the eol- ored soldiers to singing of the cherished South, and the settlers’ daughters and four cowboys to executing a lively equestrian quadrille. The band struck un “The Ar- kansas Traveler and back and forth the couples galloped to the promptings of “first couple forward and the last fall back,” “salute your pardner: “alaman left and swing right on.” The figures were exeoutel with a rapldity and precision that aston- ished, but o the midst of the dance, just as in the midst of dances years ago, the Indlans came and soclety leaders turned warriors, repulsing the invaders and las- solng ome of them for spolls. After this there were fancy riding by the punchers and fancy roping by the Mexicans, the latter ¢limaxing by the marvelous work of the famous Vicente Orepazo, In Mimie Warl Meanwhile there had been erected behind & temporary screen at the north end of the arena & San Juan hill in miniature and In- dians posted there in Spanish dress, When the screen was drawn away the aboriginal don put out his scouts and detected, enter- ing at the south end of the enclosure, a fow of the hated “Yankee pigs." The Yankee plge sighted the don and bis regiment at about the same time and & minute later the flerce charge was mads, with a Gatling gun adding to the uproar. It locked feal and it sounded real, but when it was all over and the curtaln drawn in the observer who hopp to be in the right place (in the “wings") saw the gallant Rough Riders and brave colored cavalrymen reviving the fal- len Spaniards with bites of Battlea: knew that peace again prevailed the battle had been as bloodless as it was flerce. While it raged the crowd was given a conception of what “A Hot Time" will do for a Yankee marching to the front. In a camp tcene there were afforded other glimp- ses of army life, and & laugh st the antics of a plg that declined to be offered up after it had been brought onto the ground in a private box, bonneted grotesquely. When the arena was again clear the troup of ten tumbling Arabs tumbled as no man with & sensitive cerebrum would dare tumble. They leaped, flopped,vaulted and turned over the rough ground as though on & level ma id human pyramids were builded with men supported by ene— the same one who carried four the full length cf the arena when the act closed.

They redo In every imaginable attitude and added s touch of the wierd by their strange in- ntations. Fer the exhibition of the lite saving corps & spar was ralsed near the center of the arena and over this the lead welght was shot with a rope attached. A jack tar hauled in the line, and with it a hawser. Then the breeches buoy, and in it Jackie rode to “shore” and safety amidst the cheers of the anxious After the western girls had had a horse race that made even the oldtimers feel a little nervous about their safety, the cow- boys came ‘on with their bucking terrors and for five minutes everything and every- bedy were literally “in the alr. A mod- ern Alexander with the Macedonian name of “Baldy” rode a modern Bucephalus that adds to its oth evil-lnspired accomplish- ments a dide-step that Jeffries would give worlds to master; and a curly-haired cuss with no folks and no fear of the future stayed with & y bunch of bone and mus- cle that hit the ground just three times in making the full length of the arena. Next, Ircn Tdll led out his braves for a war dance, and the painted terpsichoreans jigged a minute to tom-tom obligato, with a very.diminutive redskin & years old as the central Ngure, gay In war bonnet and grease. To spirited music the German, English and colored cavalrymen appeared in er dril's, fencing matches on horseback and fancy lancing, concluding with a magnifi- cent cavalry charge. This was sugceeded by the “monkey drill” of the Sixth cavalry boys, who rode ome, two and three horses over hurdles while standing erect, and. then put the mounts through their tricks. Colonel Still & Shooter. The attack on the Deadwood coach was accomplished with the usual spirit. Balo throwers gave & brief exhibltion and them the colcnel showed the crowd what an ‘old scout who wears his glasses when he reads can do with a repeating rifie while riding swittly over rough ground. Of the forty Dballs thrown for him by Jobnnie Baker, also mounted, he broke all but nine, and some of these were thrown so low that they were on & level with the crowd before the marks- man could take & second shot.

AFFAIRS AT SQUTH OMAHA Agitation for Burlington Depot Has Been Actively Resumed, PRESENT FACILITIES ARE OF LITTLE USE Citizens Complain that They Must Come to Omaha in Order to Get on an Outgoing B. & M, Train. Another effort Is being mule by the South- west Side Improvemént club to induce the Burlington road to locate a depot at Forty- fourth and Q etreets. This project was started some time ago, but, owing to the absence from the oity of a number of Bur- lington raflroad officials, the matter was dropped. At a recent meeting of the club it was decided to go ahéad now and push the project. Ope of the prominent members of the club rald last evening that the residents of South Omaha were practically unanimous in the desire to have a depot located at Forty-fourth and Q streets. The Q street car 1lne now extends to within three blocks of the location of the proposed depot and it is understood that the officers of the Omaha Street Rallway company have expressed thelr ,willingness to extend the line to Forty-fourth street as soon as a depot is erected and trains stop there. As it is now £outh Omaha people desiring to travel on the Burlington are compelled to go to the depot In Omaha and then ride right back threugh South Omaha. This is considered & waste of time by many, besides being in- convenient. It is true that there is a small depot at Thirty-sixth and L streets and four trains & day stop there, but as transportation fa- cllities into the city are lacking it is used by passengers but little, When this station was first bullt and trains ordered stopped it was the lutention of those Interested to en- deavor to have the street car line extended from the east end of the L street viaduct to Thirty-sixth street. This plan had to be abandoned, for the réason that an. examina- tien showed that the Lo street viaduct is not strong enough to stand the strain of carrying heavily loaded motor cars. It is the Intention of the residents of the south- western portion of the city to send a dele- gation to the city council before long to re- quest the co-operation of the ecity officlals 10 securing this much desired improvement. Running Short Alr y. bile the 1902 levy has not been available for werrants a month, yet some of the funds are already running low. A statement for the benefit of the councll and the mayor is now being prepared by the city clerk. This will ‘'show the amount of the levy and the balances in each fund. The police, fire and street repair funds are already low. In the |fire furd there now remains scarcelf enough money to pay salaries and expenses of the |/ depajtment for August and September. The police fund s a little better off, but the street repalr fund has about gone glimmer- ing. There is some reason for this, as the money avallable after this year's levy was made was used to take up the overiap in & number of the departments. As the overlap, which now amounts to 360,000, is increasing steadily every vear, there seems to be but ome way out of the dilemma, and that is to vote bonds at the fall election for the purpose of paying these old debis. It is asserted that general in- debtedness bonds can be sold at & premium for § per cent. If this is dobe, the finances of the city would be in good condition and the funds now uearly depleted would be repleni:hed. While a large proportior of the pecple appear to be opposed to bonds It I thought that when a showing !s made as to the amount the city would save .n interest by voting bonds and wiping out the debt that all objections would be overcome. No Intimation Yet. So far the members of the license com- mittee, Broderick, Welsh and Adkins, have not intimated in any manner as to what their report will be on the petition sent to the mayor and council last Monday night asking that saloons be opened on Sunday. At the time Mayor Koutsky re- ferred the petition to the license committee it was thought by some that a special meet- ing of the council might be called during the week for the purpose of. disposing of this matter. Many liquor dealers are of the opinion that eome arrangements will be made before the week is out for the opening of the rear doors of saloons op Sunday. A liquor dealer said yesterday that the fact that all of the sever saloon keepers arrested for keeping open on Sun- day had, without any trouble secured a continuance of their cases until August 14, made it look as if the saloons would be permitted to operate on Sunday before long and then the cases now pending would be dropped. Examine Boy's Yesterday Dr. W. H. Slabaugh and City Physician Sapp and Ot} Attorney Mur dock examined the injuries to young R. J. Sutcliffe. The examination was caused by the filing with the city clerk of a claim for damages to the amount of $15,000. While the boy is severely injured, there is no doubt about his ultlmdte recovery. He will be difigured for life. It is under- stood that the city officials contemplate making overtures for @ compromise, in preference to having the case go before a Jury. njuries.

Eight nonunion employes of the company passed through the contingent of guards inside the en- closure and ‘were received by the pickets outside. According to the strikers this mads a total of twenty-three for the day, fitteen having deserted during the fore- noon. The strikers are maintaining their line of pickets day and night and there is no lack of vigilance at any time. On the other hand, tbe company's guards are as wide-awake to their duties and the rafl- road’s inter The nonunion forces {mported to supplant the strikers are still a transitory lot. The officials themeelves do not deny that men are coming apd golng right along. How- ever they do not admit the strikers, claims that the defections are of such large pro- portions. Aside from the claim that twenty-three quit the local shops yester- day strikers hold that North Platte lost five the day before and that two men sent from Portland, Ore., to Rawlins refused to go to work upon thelr arrivgl, The former shopmen ' look for a whole- sale defeotion about: August 6, when the thirty-day contract period will have ex- and 116,000 pounds of ham fer the use of | pired with most of the contingent now in the troops in the Philippines.

Tale of n Traveler. ‘Willlam Frank, a junion machinist from Cleveland, O. and various other points over the country, was attracting cousider- able interest at Labor temple Thursday mornng, He says he has just arrived from Sidney, where he started to work tor the Union Pacific, having been imported as & nonunion man. He alleges that when his identity as a union man became known he was thrown in the ‘“lock-up” and kept there for eleven days. He says that while 80 confined a pistol and package of emery were placed in his possession and later dis- covered there by some of the officers of the law. He declares this was done as a means of ineriminating him and professes entire fonocence. According to his story he was placed upon & Burlington traln by the sherift and told to leave town. He made his way into Omaha and joiued - the company of strikers here. MeNeil Goes Weast.
