There was no dross parade nt Fort
Omnlia yesterday , but Instead all of tlio
sold Icru of the Second Infantry were busy
loading their personal effects , munitions of
War and equipment Into the cars that to
day will start on the long Journey that
conveys them to the mountains of Montana
and plains of North Dakota. Yesterday
morning , Instead of turning out to guard
mount , tlio boys turned out to rcaumo the
work of carrying the government freight
to the long trains that were sidetracked
on the switches near the fort. Last night
when the sunset gun was fired the work
was practically completed and when the
bugle sounded "lights out , " Instead of seek
ing soft couches , the boys In blue lolled
themselves In blankets and slept upon the
bare floors of their quartern , there to dream
of their last night In Otnahn. The officers
fared better than the privates , and Instead
of sleeping on bare floors and taking a
handout for supper , they came down town
and quartered themselves at the hoteU.
During the whole of yesterday l-'ort
Omaha was a beehive of life and activity ,
and the place was visited by thousands
of persons. People walked out , ilrnvo In
carriages and wheeled over the paved
BtrcetH and Into the shady drives of live
parade ground. They visited the iU.tricrn |
of the olllcers and the barracks of the prl
vales , having a kind word for every mini
who wore a uniform of blue. It was a
truly , osmopolltan crowd and for once the
millionaire and thu members of his family
mingled with their poorer neighbors.
The soldiers and the ofllcers were unani
mous In exprivisliiK their regrets In leaving
Fort Omaha. Their ten years' residence at
thu post had resulted In establlbhtug many
( strong ties , and taking their depailure
was to their minds much like leaving ll < c
old home. Not only this , but tluy felt
that going onto the frontier would not be
anything of n , snap , oven for u solJIer , who
Is never expected to have a home that be
can call his own.
KOIIT YATBS HAS A STOUY.
There are three posts to which the Second
Infantry will be assigned , Forts Yates.
Keogh and Harrison. Yatcs Is considered
the most undesirable. This post Is on the
Missouri river In North Dakota , at StandIng -
Ing Hock agency , seventy-five miles bulow
IllBmarck , which , b.tho . way , Is the near
est railroad station of any Importance , al
though there Is Wlnon.i upon thu cast or
opposite side of the river. Wlnona Is one
of the early stations upon the Old YniiUton
and Disiimrclt stage line and Is an Ideal
frontier town , one that has been In exist
ence for pome forty years. It was a stage
station In the curly ' 70s when Drifting Goose
" and .his band of renegade Indians left the
Scnteu Sioux and started out to commit
their depredations In the valley of the Jim
river. It was near Wlnona that Drifting
Goose and bis followers were overtaken by
the troops from Fort Sully and marched
buck to Fort Bennett , where their arms
were taken from them and the leaders placed
In thu guard house.
The poulatlon of Wlnona Is In the neigh
borhood of GOO. After caeh pay day the
little town Is lively enough to suit the most
umbilicus man orwoinant ; " *
In some respects Fort Yatcs Is a histor
ical spot , as It was there that Sitting Hull
was quartern ! after ho and' bis followers
had murdered the gallant Ouster just twenty
years , ago.
After thu battle In the Little Hlg Horn
country , In which Ouster's entire command
was murdered , Sitting Hull and his follow
ers fled to Urltlsh America , where they re
mained several months , and until they sur
rendered. After that , Sitting Hull and the
remnant of the band of hostile Sioux were
taken to Kort Yates. They were kept there
In nominal confinement for a time , during
the conclusion of the treaty of peace , when
the conflnea of the great reservation were
marked , and then were given their freedom.
It was during this time that Young Amer
ican Ilorso was killed In a conflict with the
Kiiard. At that time Yates was something
of a Mecca for people from the east , and
hundreds of visitors , passing through the
country over the Northern Pacific would
ntop off at Hlsmarck and go down to Fort
Yates to get a squint at the most famous
Indian of bis day. Sitting Hull , however ,
Is no longer on attraction at Fort Yatcs , as
the bones of the old fellow arc deposited be
neath six feet of gumbo soil on one of the
hills Just In the rear of thy post , which , by
the way , consists of a long row of log ami
wooden buildings , most of which are roofed
with poles and mud.
During the Messiah Excitement of 1890-91 ,
when the Indians at Rosebud and Pine
Hldgn were on the warpath , a possu went to
thu home of Sitting Hull to arrest him. In
the early morning the posse reached the
cabin. Sitting Hull and several young
bucks resisted , and the old fellow was shot.
Since then the soldiers at Yates Imvu lived a
bum drum llfu. having little to do , but to
visit Wlnona after each pay day , cut hay In
summer and wood In winter and supply the
post with water from the Missouri , which Is
n few hundred yards from the post , and
ngcncy buildings.
PLACUS WITHOUT HISTOHY.
Forts Keogh and Harrison are practically
now posts. The former Is a couple of miles
from Miles City , Mont. , situated upon an
nlknll plain , and as unattractive a place as
can bu found. The buildings are In fair con
dition , but not as good as those at Fort
Omaha.
Of the thrco posts , to which the Second
will bo assigned , Fort Harrison Is the most
desirable. U Is a now fort , recently com
pleted , and but a short distance from Helena ,
Mont. Llkn Fort Keogh. It Is without n
history , as It has been established since
civilization drove the Indians to their reser
vations.

The railroads missed their calculations
Bomawhat on getting the troops of the
Twenty-second Infantry Into now Fort
' Crook , The first detachment , coming over
the Milwaukee from Fort Yates , N. I ) . , ar
rived on schedule time at G o'clock In the
morning , but the four companies from Fort
JO'ogh did not reach the post yesterday ,
and It U now announced they will arrive
this morning. The companies from Fort
Harrison , which camu over the Hurllngton ,
reached their destination about 9 o'clock
last evening ,
Thorn was a constant stream of carriages
and bicyclists yesterday on the road be
tween this city and the now post , the people
all being anxious evidently to get a glimpse
of the men who are to bo the successors
of the old favorites , thu Second. A glance
around the post reminded n man of IIOUBO
cleaning time when he takes" his meals
ilbwn town In the
escape turmoil and a
not overly sweet-tempered housewife. Hexes
nnd bundles were piled up In fiont of tto :
big barracks , which the soldiers were grad
ually stowing away between resting .pull * .
, No permanent disposition of the effects
of the men ran bo made , however , until the
arrival of Colonel Casey , who U with the
detachment from Fort Keogh. Last iilght
the men simply stayed at thu post , but to
day they expect to be permanently assigned
to quarters , and then the work of setting
things to rlghtz will go rapidly forward
nnd before the week U ended the men will
be aa comfortably domiciled n * though thev
bad been there nil thn time.
The men of the two rompuulrg which ar
rived yesterday morning are a fine , soldleily
looking lot of fellows and no boy just out of
nehsol wan ever more pleancd than they at
thtlr new locution. It ha. been u number of

In nothing to tec but n vast expanse of blue

The men from Forts Keogh and Harrison
have had a llttiu more desirable location , but
nothing to compare with their present quar
ters. The principal difference has been they
have not been out In the wilderness. The
men arc all greatly surprised nt the Inte st

that by good behavior they hope to become

The seventh annual state tournament ol
the Nebraska district of the Turnveroln was
held under most auspicious circumstances at
Ruser's park yesterday. That It was a suc
cess could bo told from ( he general spirit
of good will that prevailed. Every one , from
the little fellow who looked lost In n
Turner's uniform of smallest dimensions to
tiio youngster's grandparents , spent a most
pleasant day with their fellow Germans
The day Itself was such as to make any
picnic enjoyable , and such an event as the
Turners' state tournament was simply made
m'oro pleasurable by the favorable weather
that prevailed. There was enough sunshine
to keep one warm , and there was sufficient
breeze that swept through the trees to bo re
freshing.
It would bo difficult to tell Just how earl }
the first German appeared on the sccno ol
the day's merriment. Several wheelmen
were up almost as BOOH as the sun Itself ntu1
were soon speeding on their way out the
Center street road to pick out the best spots
In the garden for their friends who followed
later. The Jlrst street car was well patron
Izcd and each succeeding one , until well
along In the afternoon , carried more than
Its predecessor. The largest crowds went
out In the afternoon. The Lcavenworth
street line did n good business all day , car
rying many people to Klmwood park , nnd the
cemeteries. In addition to those who jour
neyed to Ruser's park. For once the street
car service was very fair , and there were
no complaints heard save from chronic
grumblers. The superintendent of that line
last night estimated that he had carried
about 1,500 people out during the day. The
gate receipts at Ruser's park showed that
nearly 1,000 of these people were the guests
of the Germans. Besides those who used the
street car line , there were many who drove
out , and a larger number who made use of
their mounts. The tournament was on until
11 o'clock last night , nnd there were many
who remained so long that they had to bus
tle to catch the last car.
MANY OTHERS JOIN.
The Turners of Omaha were most numer
ous ; then there were those from South
Omaha , Fremont , Plattsmouth , Mlllanl nnd
Avoca. All German societies outside of the
union had been Invited , as bad also the
Danish and the Bohemian societies and the
various wheel clubs of Omaha. Reprchenta-
tlves of these organizations were seen at all
points of the grounds , mingling with the
Turners and enjoying their hospitality. The
committee of the Omaha Turners having
the tournament In charge consisted of Her
man Kunde , Ailolph Albrecbt , Philip An
dres , Gustav Stepp , Emll Stein and Paul
Wurl.
Shortly after 9 o'clock the morning's ex
ercises were opened by a number of close
and Interesting athletic contests. There
were five events and all were contested with
great evenness. The events were : High
lump , broad jnnm. hon , step and 1mnn. put
ting thirty-four-pound stone and lifting a
110-pound weight. The first class iirizc was
awarded to the Plattsmouth society , the
second prize to the Fremont society , the
third prize to the Omaha society , the fourth
prize to the South Omaha society and the
fifth prize to the Mlllard society. Individual
prlzen were awarded as follows : First , Otto
Wurl. Plattsmouth. GOVI : second , Emll Witrl
Plattsmouth , 45 ; third , Frank Horse , Fre
mont , 41U ; fourth , Bernard Wurl , Platts
mouth. 39 ; fifth , Joseph Peters , Plattsmouth
37 % , and sixth , Gcorgu Kochne , Plattsmoutb
33VI.
Honorable mention was made ot the ex
hibition on gymnasium apparatus by mem
bers of the Mlllard society. The senior class
of the Omaha Turners gave a highly credit
able dumb-bell drill that received hearty ap
plause. The woman's class of the Omaha
society gave one of the most Interesting
exhibitions of the day , a wand drill , fol
lowed by some clever marchliy. As Is the
custom among the Turners , the prizes were
diplomas and wreaths , metal badges and
cash prizes being tabooed.
AMUSEMENT FOR ALL.
After the athletic games the picnickers
turned their attention toward cntoylng
themselves along other lines and made use
of the attractions that were offered. There
was dancing In the pavilion , the music be
ing fiirnlfikcd by an orchestra considerably
above the average combination of players
at picnics. The hot popcorn man was there
and did a good business , and there were dis
pensers of other refreshments whoso re
ceipts would have staggered the popcorn
man , The bowling alley was well patron
ized throughout the day , and the phonograph
graph stands reported trade as very fair.
In the afternoon a procession , headed by
a brass band and consisting of all the Turn
ers within the grounds , paraded through the
park. There were several hundred In line
nnd It was a procession that was as pretty
as It was unique. The Turners , attired in
their natty suits of gray , with caps to
match , were accompanied by their wives and
sweethearts , presumably. As they marched
two by two thiough and about the park
many words of commendation on their fltio
appearance were heard. Finally they all
formed a circle and sang several appro
priate selections. The one that was best
received was "Reminder , " and was written
by Albert Ran , secretary of the Omaha's
senior class , especially for the tournament.
Adolph Michaels of the wholesale Jewelry
firm , Michaels & Fred H. Meyer , will leave
Tuesday for St. Louis , where ho wljl visit
his aged mother nnd there join his cousin ,
Sam Elscnstadt of the M. Elsenstadt Jewelry
company , on an extensive trip through the
eastern manufacturing places , purchasing
his now fall stock. Ho will be absent al'out
twelve or fourteen days.

Mr. Thompson , htadncalcsmnn at n pop
ular nhoo store linnfco the head usher
nt the Ilcth Kdcn Bnptlsl church and of
course a regular subtarlbcr to that most
excellent oxpotmden of Immersion , "Tho
Standard , " n Boston weekly Journal. Mr.
Thompson swears by < the Standard. He
thinks It Is" the pre tr rt church paper pub
lished. Ho reads Unfaithfully , quotes from
It , and talks about It to tils fellow clerks
until sometimes they lose their patience
and advise lirotlien Tliompson to go lay
down and take a rest. Now these xvlckcd.
worldly clerks have long been plotting for
Mr. Thompson's discomfiture and last \\crk
hit upon n happy plan. The Unptlst Stand
ard and the Dramatic Standard are of the
same slzo and appearance In everything
save their contents and Illustrations. The
Baptist Standard , of course , Is confined
to ecclesiastical matters and religious af
fairs , while the Dramatic Standard Is made
up principally of females in scanty raiment
nnd Is a leg-lmate that Is not original ;
It was coined by Josh Billings as for back
ns 'G3 record ot the orglis of the gay
girls ot the Thespian persucslon of beer hall
nml root garden fame. Nearly everybody
takes It. because Its Illustrations are life
like and tlellcloiisly suggestive. Well , this
wicked mob of clerks down nt the shot
store actually did tl.is : They knew the
day the Baptist Standard arrived nnd they
sent one of their force to the postofllce
for Thompson's mall. Ho got the Stand-
crd , and while out also purchased the
week's Dramatic Standard. The frontla at
traction , It just so happened on this wrok ,
was a bewildering labyrinth ot beautiful
limbs , n nymph scene on the seashore.
Well , ttcso nefarious clerks took the Unp
tlst Standard and neatly and accurately
cutting out thn head , with date line , motto
and all , pasted It over the Dramatic
Standard's brad , slipped It back In Us
wrapper nnd returned it to Mr. Thompson's
box at the postoiricc. A little later Mr.
Thompson went after his mall and returned
happy and smiting. Ho was anticipating
a lltcrary-rellglo feast.They were not very
busy In the store nnd the clerks ranged
themselves carelessly about nnd conveni
ently near. Mr. Thompson , Ecir.lng the Idle
moment , carefully cut the wrapper and
opened his Standard. The half nude fairies
In graceful positions , on the sands of the
ocean beach , struck his startled vision. He
recoiled as If stung' by nn adder or hit
by a multiplier and thrust the paper away
from him at arm's length and scanned
It critically. Then bo brought It up close
to his eyes and Increased the Intensity of
his gaze. He read and re-read the head
Hues. They were all right. Then he opened
the sheet nnd n full page reproduction of
a short-skirted Sissy Fitzgerald , kicking at
a man's tile held high over his head ,
greeted Mr. Thompson's horrified "lamps. "
He closed the paper with iinsccnilnK-vi-lu'
mence and glanced about nt the clerks ,
who from n eoinon Impulse had turned
their backs on the perplexed Mr. Thomp
son. Thin be was seen to scratch his head
reflectively , and with a worried look he
asked permission to be excused , and putting
on his coat , ho carefully placed the paper
In his Inside pocket and left the store. Hi
re-turned In Just twenty minutes , and theio
were tubs full of gore In bis eye. Not a
clerk Einlled the faintest suspicion ot n
smile. They discreetly preserved their sol
emnity and Mr. Thompson didn't get on
He was leary , though , and kept a hawk
like espionage upon every man present.
Hut they gave nothing away. If they had

The police last evening thought they ha l
a bold , bad burglnr , caught In the act of
tapping the safe of.the Pacific Express com
pany. The assistant cashier of the com
pany was out taking a bicycle ride , and
passing the building about 9 o'clock In the
evening , happening glance up at the
office , saw a manistanding In front ot the
safe. He watched him for a few mlmitct-
and the man still maintained his position
In front of the safe ] Ho thought the time
to do something hud arrived , and hurrying
to the corner of Farnani aivl Flftcentl
ho ran Into the nrms of a policeman , to
whom bo unfolded his suspicions. The po
Ilceman telephoned to the station and a
squad of officers were dispatched to tbo
scene at once.
On reaching the building there stood the
man In front of the safe all right.enough
The officers at once surrounded the struc
ture to cut off every avenue of escape
visions of rewards in the meantime playIng -
Ing tag through their brains. The build
ing having been surrounded , one of the
policemen made a sally on the door ami
found It locked. His efforts to gain at :
entrance soon brought some one to the
other side of the door. The man on the
Inside said ho was the watchman of the
building , but the policeman was from Mis
souri and insisted on being "shown. " The
watchman unlocked the door and in explana
tion stated ho had gone Into the room where
the big safe Is located for the purpose of
eating his lunch , which he had deposited
on top of the safe containing all the valu
ables.
The explanation proved satisfactory ami
the squads of police which had been posted
around the building were called In , visions
of rewards , glory and other things van
ished , anil the olllcers departed for their
respective stations.

Tn speaking about his order Issued Satur
day closing all of the gambling houses litho
the city on July S , Mayor Ensor said yester
day : "I have ordered these bouses closet
because there are too many of them. Six
gambling houses and a policy shop are now
running , besides any number of small games
which arc operated in back rooms of cigar
.stores and saloons. It is impossible for tbo
police to keep a careful watch on all of these
places and attend to their duties as patrol
men. In splto of all the officers can do com
plaints keep coming In. The people seem to
want the places closed and now I propose
to close them. Poisonally , I would be will
Ing for one , but not more than two , gambling
bouses to be run , as the precedent has bcei
set by former administrations. If this were
done I should Insist upon htrlct police sur
volllnncc , but as It Is at present thu contrac
Is too large a one for our small police force
consequently 1 have decided upon taking the
steps I have. The reasons given above are
tbo only one-s I have for the action takei
and I have no others to offer. "

"Building Business"
Is the name of a book gotten up by a noted adver
tising expert in New York City , It is an expert book
from start to finish. It tells all about how to build a
business , ( on paper ) and how to make people fall over
themselves in a grand rush for the store that "goes by
the book on advertising. It is a big book. It is a
readable enough book and it is a good enough book ,
too , for peop'e who build their business on modern
methods one third v iUie and two thirds advertising.
It couldn't help "The Nebraska. " It couldn't help
us tojfiyc better values and it couldn't help you to Ret
better values and better values are what "The No >
braska" depends on to build business. The men's
sox we sell for IOG arc better ya'ues. ' The silk sus
penders we sell for soc are GeYteiTvallies. The men's
straw hats we sell for 251 : arc better values. The
light summer coats at 500 , 750 and $1.25 arc bc'.tcr
values , and the Men's White Duck pants we scTM'or

Telling the truth , ths whole truth , and nothing but the

that's bulldi ng business.
