lluml.
' " The mnn who walks the streets of Omaha
today nnd moots sucti staid citizens as Henry
Pundt , Fred Motz , Charles BcludorfT , Judge
BencUo , Honrj' Erfllng , Meyer Hullinan ,
Trod Metz , sr , , Julius Rudowsky , Henry
Lehman , Charles Karbach , Meyer Hnpka ,
Charles Bermcstcr nnd n score of others
would hardly think that they over partici
pated In such boyish pastimes as putting the
shot , making the high and long Jumps ,
swinging on the bars and handling the clubs ,
but they did , nnd they enjoyed these exer
cises as much as do the young uiou of the
present day.
This nil took plnco n long time ngo , when
Omaha was not us much of a city as It Is at
the present tlino.
As early" as 1805 the younf ? Germans of the
city conceived the Idea of organizing a Turn-
vcrcln , nnd at once prepared for the work.
The next spring the goutloraen above men
tioned completed the organization and held ,
tbclr meetings In a hall In the old Caldwell
block , on Douglus street , botwrcn Thirteenth
and Fourteenth. The organization prospered
until It hnd nearly ono hundred members.
The hnll became too crowded , nnd In
n few weeks the lot on Tenth
sticot was bought for $1,200 nnd the Gorman
theater built at n cost of $9,000. It was a
line building , ono of the best la the city at
that time , and the members felt very proud
of this property. Tills was the lint Tumor
society wester Chicago , nnd besides having
their friendly class contests for prizes , pleas
ant dancing parties were hold In the build
ing , with nu occasional Sunday night thea
ter.
ter.Louis
Louis Anderson was olcctud the first
speaker of the society , and for a year the
members were as happy us children of ono
family , but In 1807 there was an election of
ofllcors. Anderson wanted to bo ro-olcctcd ,
but met with considerable ) opposition ; so
much that no loft the society and nt once sot
about to organize the Concordia Sinning
Boclotv. AH of the young Germans were
very fond of muslo and went with him. This
cost the Turnvorcln a great many members ;
in fact , so many that it was difficult to secure
n quorum. A meeting was held , nnd to
bridge over the dilUculty a resolution was
adopted by whicb seven members constituted
n quorum. The following Sunday Charles
BclndorT mndo nn effort to gather in seven
members , but as only six could bo secured ,
tlio llrst Oniaba Turnvorciu adjourned with
out a Onto.
Prior to tbls nnd nt the time of building
the hall , tUo society Incurred a debt of $3,000.
Stock to this amount , in shares of $10 each ,
was Issued to the members ana the money for
the same paid Into the treasury but for some
reason never appeared to the cancellation of
the debt.
After tlio society was abandoned John
Brandt managed to secure most of the stock ,
paying n trilling sum for the same. This
action disgusted the members and they let
A everything go by default. The taxes on the
property becnmo delinquent , nnd In 1S70
Brandt took a tax deed under which ho holds
the lot at the present tlmo.
Two j ears later the Turnveroln was re
vived , now blood was infused Into the organ
Izatlon , and since then It has prospered Junti
siow it has 1M ! active members ana the vulua
bio property on Hartley street known as ( ior-
numla hall , with the following ofllccrs : Firs
Epcakerof thobozlrk , 1'hll Andres ; scribe
Otto Kinder ; turn warden , Iloury ICumme

janO. which has a membership of 49,000
members , nnd property , consisting of real

value.
Last July the general mooting of the Turn-
bund was held in Now York city , nnd Phil
Andres of the Nebraska bund attended as a
lelegnto. At that mooting It was suggested
that the state bunds hold delegate conven
tions for the purpose of renewing their ctmr-
tors and transacting general business. In
carrying out these suggestions , delegates
from all of the Nebraska societies will
meet In Ccrmanlu , lull next Saturday.
On the ilrst day of the meeting the celebra
tion of the birth of the llrst Turner society
will bo held , anil It is expected that all of the
old tlmo momuers will bo present. For this
event a splendid programme has been pro-
pared.
In the afternoon new business will bo
transacted , with a dnuco at night. The fol
lowing day the ofllcers of the stnto bund will
bo elected , nnd tlio session will probably close
with a grand Sunday night concert.
OUK PllOM MEXICO.
It AV1I1 Causa the Location of Another
Bonded Wnrcliouso Hero.
Omaha Is to have another bonded ware
house.
The Omaha nnd Grant smelting nnd refining -
fining company , under a provision of the Mc-
Klnley bill , will Import crude ere in bond
from Mexico , paying the duties hero instead
of nt the boarder.
Heretofore the smelting company has been
obliged to submit to having Its shipments of
ere from Mexico delayed several days at El
Paso , the port of entry , whllo the nssaycr
there sampled the ere and mndo a certificate
of Its grade , charging a foe of $3 per oar for
his M ork.
The delay In transportation was n serious
ono , as the vnluo of the ere fluctuated
greatly , nnd efforts wore tnado by Collector
Alexander , nt the request of the smelting
company , to have the ere transported In
bond to Omaha without being delayed at El
Paso.
The first effort In this direction was made
about two months ago and mot with n direct
refusal by the treasury department. Yester
day , however , Mr. Alexander was notified
that a different construction had been placed
on tbo clause In the McKlnloy bill and the
Importation of ore In bond would bo allowed.
The smelting company will provide o
bonded warehouse and the ere will be placed
In it as soon as received. The ere will bo
assayed hero and duties collected In accord
ance with the result shown ,

The frequent complaints made by neg-

sue a proclamation notifying all persons nnd

JMC'E AA'TAGUXISM.
Vhnt Commissioner Roosevelt Says
About Indian Troubles ,
WASHINGTON , Jan. 17. [ Special Telegram
oTiin BEE. ] Civil Service Commissioner
who owns a ranch In North
Jakota , who has spent several years among
tie Indians and made thorn a study , bolloves
but the trouble among tno reds In South
) akota and Nebraska has arisen from race
ntagonism , which ho declares to t > o the
ouico of most of the trouble between the In-
lans and white people. Ho says : "If a
vhito man has his horse stolen by a thieving
avago ho considers himself warranted in
Jxacttngioparatlon from the first friendly
and honest Indian ho meets. I have known
hunting party of whites to lose a score of
lorsos by a raid from a predatory band
f Sioux , by which occurrence the
osers considered themselves warranted in
naklng a descent upon the nearest village of
nnocent led men of another tilbo nnd driv-
ngoltnt least as many of their animals.
gain , I have known Indians who hadsuflcred
depredations at tbo hands of lawless
vhlto rufllans to attack * n cowboy camp in
search of revenge. If an Indian experiences
an indignity or outrage fiom ono white man
10 will kill the next white man ho comes
across , though the latter mav bo entirely In
offensive , and so it goes. To the whites all
'ndlans. are the same , nnd vice versa. Ono
.bing I should like to bo quoted as saving
with much emphasis , ana that is that the In
dian police and Judges ought to bo pild better
[ .ban they aro. In the rccont skirmish in
connection witli the arrest of Sitting Hull
Lbe Indian police behave , ] admirably and the
government should provide for the families
jf those who were killed as well as reward
the survivors. "

CHICAGO , Jan. 10. [ Special Telegram to
Tun BIE. : ] The action of the baseball mag
nates In Now York yesterday , in placirg nn
American association club in Chicigo , is re
garded as a great mistake by all who luivo
canvassed the possibilities for the success of
such an enterprise. The club will moot with
cold reception in the first placo. It will
not bo patronized week days except as a last
resort and Sundays It will encounter the op
position of the City league , the Importance of
which the association people soorn under
estimate. Tbo City league Is suppui > .od by n
feeling of local prlJo nntl backed iiy men
whoso Influence , if exerted , could close the
baseball parks on tlio first day of the week ,
The teams are composed mainly of players of
proven strength and tbo baseball served up
every Sunday afternoon will eoinpiro favor
ably with that of some of the clubs that the
association sdiodulo will bring to the city.
The city league people nro confident that if
tlio association club charges an admission fee
of SO cents on Sunday , they can beat It by
legitimate opposition.
"If they come lower limn that tariff , " said
nn on leer of tbo local organization , " 1 think
wo will be Justified In resorting to any means
in our power to fight them. The Held Is ours
by right of precedence nnd priority. Wo
have warned the association , through Presi
dent Thurman , of the reception that awaits
thrm nnd it atoms that our warning has been
ignored. " _
