LAKE MOHONK, N. ¥, Oct. 22—The Mohonk Indian conference opened its twenty-first annual session here today. The evening session was opened by J. W. Davis of the Indian association of Boston with a paper dwelling on the evils of the present system of appointing Indlan In- spectors. Very few honest inspectors are obtained under this system, he said, most of (hem being venal and given to making whitewashing reports. It has been prac- tically tmpossible, the speaker said, to se- cure the removal of corrupt and incom- petent Indian agents, the inspectors gen- erally siding with the agents, no matter what the charges might be. Mr. Davis spoke in high terms of the co-operation of President Roosevelt and Secretary Hitcheock to purify the Indian service. Frank Wood, who has had an extended experience in Indian affairs, dwelt upon the deplorable effect of political influence in the appointment of Indlan agents, by which unfit men are kept in positions to pay political debts. Dr. Lyman Abbott .argued in favor of the transfer of the Indians to the super- vision and control of the War depart- ment. Secretary Gates of the Board of Indian Commissioners, strongly opposed the ideas advanced by Dr. Abbott as to the transfer of Indians to the War department.

GIVEN AN AFFECTIONATE FAREWELL Large Crowd Present as the Soldiers Take the Train for Thelr Long Jourmey to the Far East- ern Islands. After one year and seven months' absence from the Philippines, where it had served three years, the Twenty-second United States Infantry departed Wednesday after- noon from Fort Crook for another two years' term of duty in that far-away sta- tion. The portion of the regiment leaving Fort Crook was the headquarters, fleld staff and band and Second and Third bat- talions, comprising a total of eight com- panies. For several weeks past the post has been a scene of busy activity, getting in readi- ness for the departure of the regiment to the Orient. A special train of eighteen passenger coaches, three sleepers, five bag- gage and two freight cars was required to transport the command and its equip- ment. The special train departed in two sections. The first section was under com- mand of Colonel Henry Wygant and ear- ried the headquarters, noncommissioned staff, band and hospital corps and sick, with Companies M, L, K and I, and left at 2:30 o'clock. The second section, under command of Major Abner Pickering and battalion staff, with Companies E, F. H and G, left at 2:5 o'clock. The trains went over the Burlington via Oreopolis, Lincoln and Hastings to Denver, and will proceed from there to Ogden via the Union Pa- eific, and thence over the Southern Pacific to Ban Francisco. The total strength of the two battalions, including, officers and men, leaving Fort Crook was 480, as follows: Colonel Henry Wygant, commanding the regiment; Cap- tain R. L. Hamilton, adjutant; Captain Peter W. Davison, quartermaster; Captain Isasc Newell, commissary; Contract Sur- geons W. W. Reno and J. K. Ashburn, Chaplatn Edward H. Fitsgerald, noncom- missioned staff, band, twenty-seven men, and hospital corps. Major Abner Pickering, commanding Second battalion; Second Lieu- tenant W. 8. Neely, acting battalion quar- termaster and commissary; First Lieuten- ant Ivers W. Leonard, battalion adjutant; Major J. J. Crittenden, commanding Third battalion; ffirst Lieutenant Henry L. Har- ris, battalion adjutant; Company E, forty- nine men, Captain George A. Bomford, commanding, First Lieutenant Adolphe H. Huguet, Becond Lieutenant BEdmund L. Bull; Company F, fifty-three men, Second Lieutenant Harry Graham, commanding; Company G, sixty men, Captain David L. Stone, commanding, First Lieutenant Lau- rence A. Curtis; Company H, ffty-nine men, First Lieutenant James R. Goodale, commanding, Second Lieutenant Morton Russell; Company §, fifty-nine men, Captain Willam H. Wassell, commanding, Second Lieutenant W. 8. Neely; Company K. fifty- six men, First Lieutenant Martin Novak, commanding, Second Lieutenant Dean Hal- ford; Company L, fifty-seven men, Captain Fred G. Stretzinger, commanding, Second Lieutenant Willlam B. Roberts; Company M, fifty-eight men, First Lieutenant James Justice, commanding. Women with Command. The women sccompanying the command were Mrs. Dr. Geers, Mrs. Captain Newell, Mre. Captain V/assell, Mrs. Lieutenant Goodale, Mrs, Captain Stone (formerly Miss Hoagland of Omaha), Mrs. Captain Bom- ford.and baby, Mrs. Lieutepant Curtis, Mrs. Lieutenant Leonard and governess, Mrs. Ideutenant Justice and Mrs. Q. M. Ser- geant Campbe.. Mre. Colonel Henry Wygant did not ac- company the command, having departed Tuesday for Fort Leavenworth to visit with her son, First Lieutenant Henry 8. Wygant, Third United States infantry. Captain John R. R. Hannay, having only a few days since been promoted from first Meutenant to eaptain, has been assigned to the command of company C of the Twenty- second infantry and departed from Fort Logan H. Roots, Ark., Tuesday with thie first battallion of the regiment for the Philippines. Two men deserted from the band Tuesday and one man from company G and three men from company I, turned up missing yesterday just prior to the departure of the regiment. Mr. J. W. Lowry, proprietor of the Lowry hotel at Fort Crook, entertained nineteen of the officers of the regiment and thelr wives at dinner at the hotel just before the regiment departed. Many te Bid Them Farewell. A large number of Omaha people were &t the Fort to bid the departing regiment g00d-bye, as was & host of friends and relatives of the men. A number of the en- listed men were married men and some very affecting scenes were witnessed as the command boarded the cars. The school at Fort Crook turned out enmasse to join in the general farewells. The troops first loaded their effects dur- ing the morning and immediately after noon mess the regiment was formed for parade and review on the parade grounds for the last time. Then forming In com- pany front the two battallions, headed by Colonel Wygant and his personal - staff, marched across the parade ground to the road In front of the officers’ quarters, and with the band playing and regimental colors fiying, formed into columns of fours and marched down the white road to the quartermaster and commissary - depots, where the trains were in walting. As the command passed the last of the officers’ quarters, all marching on foot, intluding Colonel Wygant and his staff, the band, after playing the national airs, struck up “The Girl I Left Behind Me," followed with “Auld Lang Syne." A great crowd had sssembled st the quartermaster and commissary depots in the shade of the bulldings and as thé regi- ment passed, the colors deflantly waving and the band playing “Auld Lang Syne, the cheérs of men were mingled with the tears and sobs of women at the realisation that the Twenty-second was leaving Fort Crook, perhaps forever. Some mothers had ‘come from distant states and distant homes to bid thelr boys good-bye, and wives, sweethearts and sisters of the departing boys gave & sombreness to the scene by their tears and affectionate good-byes that recalled the war days of long ago. The troops were quickly loaded onto the cars and in less than an hour from the time of the parade the two trains were whirling away toward the selling sun. As the tralns pulled out cheers and waving handkerchiefs were strictly in evidence, and €ven after the trains had disappeared down the cut to the southwest the farewel) cheers of the vanishing command were wafted back on - the afternoon breese. Women lingered at the track from where the troops departed. condoling with each other, and the gemeral werdiet was that & most affectionate regard for the people of Omaha, and 1 wish The Bee would con- vey to the “people of Omaha the kindest fegards of the regiment, both officers and men. We may come back some day, but yet 1t s doubtful. However, we shall never forget the kind, good peopl of Omaha, and say to them for us, a long and loving goodbye.” This is the third time that the Twenty- second has left Fort Crook for active service in the field; once for Cuba, at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, and twice for the far-off Philippines. The departure of the Twenty-second leaves Fort Crook with & very small garri- son as compared with that which has been there for a number of years past. The gar- rison now in charge is Company F of the Sixth United States infantry, recently ar- rived here from Fort Leavenworth. Cap- tain F. C. Bowles s at present in com- mand of the company, with First Lieuten- ant George R. Armstrong and Second Lieu tenant J. D. Elliott, Captain Bowles ex- pects to leave in & tew days and the com- mand will then devolve upon Lieutenant Armstrong, whose family accompanies him here. Thirtieth Regiment Com Captatn R. O. Castle of the Thirtieth United States Infantry is assigned to sta- tion at Fort Crook, and is acting as quar- termaster and commissary. His regiment, the Thirtieth, is expected at Fort Crook about December 15, and Company F of the Sixth will remain antil the arrival of that regiment. Captain J. F. Kreps of the Twenty-second is the only officer of that regiment left at the post, of which he is now the com- mandant, and will be until he departs upon his new duties as recruiting officer, to which he has been recently detailed. Among those still remaining at the post with their familfes are: Contract Surgeon Merton A. Probert, Contract Surgeon Mor- row, Post Quartermaster Sergeant Charles Yeager, First Class Bergeant Shelby G. Cox, medical corps, and Ordnance Ser- geant Casper Mayer and the family of the bandmaster of the Twenty-second infantry. Contract Surgeon Morrow has been or- dered to Fort Sheridan, II1, and will shortly be relicved here by Major Adrian 8. Pol- hemus, surgeon United States army. The garrison prisoners of the Twenty- second, those under sentence for minor of- fenses, accompanied the regiment. Only the general prisoners remain in the guard- house to serve the sentences assigned them to bo served at Fort Crook. AT THE PLAYHOUSES. “The Rivals” at the Boyd. Mr. Joseph Jefferson and his company, presenting “The Rivals,” a comedy in three acts by Richard y Sheridan. The cast: 8ir Antheny Captain Absolute (under name of Beverley) Bob_Acres Sir Lucius O'Trigger.. David Faulkland John Jack the assumed Jefferson Winter Joseph Jefferson Joseph Jefterson, Jr. . Percy Plunkett ¢ Guy_Coombs William Jefferson Frolliott Paget ces Pemberton Blanche Bender Mrs. Malaprop . Lydia Languish Lucy “For the first time tn my life I feel like a prima donna,” sasd Mr. Joseph Jefferson, when & beantiful bouquet was handed him over the footlights st the Boyd theater ‘Wednesday night. He_continued with a neat speech of compliment and appreciation for the ‘glorious welcome Omaha extended him and his assoclafes’—a speech that was evidently sincere; a¥least it did not bear evidence of having 'Been carefully conned betore recital: eiit o Mr. Jefferson was @ddressing an -udl:nec any man might’ haté-been ud to face. I\MM-um-MmP:r..nam shown by applause afid faughter how much the excellent efforts''0f the company were being enjoyed. “And"we''are enjoying the comedy, too,” saif” Mr. Jefferson, “and when you get that féeling established be- tween audience and’ actor, it is just Mke shaking hands across the footlights.” Mr. Jefferson’s Bob Acres is a classic, and as such only cafi It be considered. He finds it all but impossible to efface the marks of seventy-four' years of activity, but once he has comimenced to speak and has really entered upon the characteriza- tion of Sheridan's -delightful creation, Joe Jefterson is forgotten and only “Fighting Bob” lives on the stage. It is the acme of art, for it is also the acme of naturallsm { in acting. Not a misplaced gesture, not a aalt in action, not a stp of emphasis, not & look but bore its. message, marred the perfectness of Mr. Jefferson's performance. One may easily believe his statement, oft repeated, that he loves Bob next to Rip. Long may he be spared to delight the American public with his conceptions of the two greatest of comedy characters, which he has made so essentially his own. Less than perfection from Joseph Jeffer- s0a would surprise bis audiences, and the people have cowe L9 expect almost as much of the actors who are associated with him in his brief seasons. Admitting this, it is putting it mildly to say that the audience last night was most agree- ably surprised and delighted by some of the features of the performance, 80 strongly @id they stand out above even what was looked for. Mr. John Jack, steriing old actor that he is, and known for more than a generation to western au- Qiences, mever played a part with more of unction and artistic zeal than he put into the character of Sir Anthony Abso- lute, and never was that character more scceptably presented. Mr. Jack's methods are those of the Intelligent artist, and the results he obtains are triumphs of histri- onic abllity. He fairly divided honors with the star last night, winning his recogni- tion from the very start, and getting a warm recall after his second appearance on the scene. Miss Fiolliott Paget, t00, was & surpris- ing revelation, Her Mrs. Malaprop, with her simperings and affectations, her gran- diose manners and ridiculous speeches, was a source of keenest pleasure. Miss Paget's voice and manner are of the sort that em- bellish any part and lend themselves with ready facility to a character such as she had in hand last night Miss Pemberton's Lydia and Miss Bender's Lucy are both well conceived and excellently carried out, the young women adding the definite and essential grace of youth and beauty to the parts offered them in the play. Mr. Winter's captain was a model of impudence and assurance and Mr. Coombs' Faulkland was good for the little there ts of it. Mr. Plunkett as David and Mr. William Jefferson ak Fag aid their little In & satisfactory manner. The single point on which a complaint might be fas- tened is Mr. Joseph Jeffersom, Jr.'s Sir Luclus O'Trigger. He lacks much of the unctious zeal one expects in the part; not that Sir Luclus was not & polished and most accomplished gentleman, but he was also & man of much more energy than Mr. Jefterson would have us believe. Mr. Sher- Man was undertaking to pillory a certain faction of his countrymen when he wrote that part, and had no intention of making it at all attractive. A fire-eater and a for- tune-hunter, whose “mansion and Qirty acres” had slipped through his hands in AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMABA| Sheep Butohers snd Packers ‘Conferring Over the Wage Boale MEN WANT AN INCREASE IN THER PAY Only Preliminaries Taken Up at First Meeting Several Days Likely te Elapse Before Agree- ment is Reach Representatives of the South Omaha packers and the officers of the Packing Trades council held & session at the offices of Armour & Co. yesterday afternoon for the purpose of coming to some agree- ment about the scale of wages to be paid to sheep butchers. When this question of sheep butchers' wages was brought up at the general meeting in Chicago a couple of weeks ago the butchers here refused to ratify the agreement made and asked for a separate bearing. This was granted and yesterday afternoon the first conference was held. Stephen Vail, second vice presi- dent of the Packing Trades eouncil repre- sents the sheep butchers. He is assisted by officers of the local sheep butchers' union. The Packers all have representa- tives on hand. The sheep butchers want an increase of twenty-five cents a day in wages and some stipulation about the number of hours to be worked. The ques- tion of overtime will also come up. Ju now the sheep butghers union numbers about ninety men This number varies with the amount of work on hand. There 18 10 talk of a strike among the men. All they ask is & readjustment of the scale. Some of the men employed in the sheep killilng department get $2 a day, while others get $4. A general raise all along the line is what is wanted. At the conference yesterday only the preliminaries were gone into. There will be another meeting at the Armour offices | this afterncon, but the labor leaders do not expect that an agreement will be reached before the end of the week. Terrell Will Return. Moxie Terrell, who escaped from the city Jail on the morning of July 4, will return to his home Baturday. Arrangements to this effect were made yesterday. Henry Terrell, father of the fugitive, has been working for several days with friends to make arrangements whereby Moxle could return home and not be molested by the police. Through the efforts of Tom Hoctor the arrangements were made yesterday afternoon and Terrell will be home Satur- day. On July 2 of this year Terrell was arrested and charged with stealing a purse from & room at one of the boarding hous bon Twenty-sixth street. A complaint was filed by the city prosecutor, but his case never came up for hearing, as Moxie wasn't here when it was called On the morning of July 4 Jaller Fowler called Moxie out of the jail to scrub the jail office. When Fowler stepped Into the box to answer the telephone Terrell took to the tall timber. An agreement has been reached whereby the complaint is to be destroyed and word ( was sent to Moxie last night that he was at liberty to return home. Henry Terrell, father of the young man, has settled the case with the complaining witness. Epworth League Officers. These officers have been elected by the Epworth league of South Omaha: Joseph Reed, president; Miss Mabel Thomas, first vice president; Miss Martha Widdis, second vice president; Mre.

Marsh, chorigter, Stock Yardw Postofice. ‘While the branch postoffice at the stock yards has only been in existence for a year, the annual report of Superintendent Miller shows that considerable business has been transacted. The eale of postage stamps at this office for the year ending yesterday amounted to §18,00. This is exclusive of the money order-business. The amount of mail handled is rapidly increasing and it will not belong before there will be a de- mand for more help at this substation. Those doing business at the stock yards appreciate the substation and now say that they do not see how they got along 50 many years without one. Republican Meetings.
