The. parents of Walter Young , who is a
fciman aboard the San Francisco , which has
Just reached New York from England In
company with the newly acquired war ohlp ,
New Orleans , received a Jong letter from
him yesterday. It Is the first he has writ
ten since his return. Walter Young Is now
In his 21st year. For a number ot years ho
was one of the carriers In The Bee force In
Council Bluffs. Before he got through the
High school he yielded to the. desire to sec
more of the world and became a traveler.
A year or more ago he sent his parents word
that ho bad enlisted in the na'vy. Reports
have come regularly indicating the rapid
progress he has been making and In the let
ter received jesterday he states that he will
"Ret a nciw rating tomorrow. " Ills letter de
scribes the long trip across the ocean. Con
cerning this portion of his experience , after
detailing the apprehension generally felt that
a Spanish gunboat or two had been ordered
to Intercept them and the eagerness of the
crew to try their guru and conclusions with
the dons he says : "We had only half crews
and were very busy all of the time. But
every man In the two ships knew his duty
and -was anxious to discharge It. Both ships
would have grven good accounts of them
selves If there had been occasion for It. We
had a very flno trip during the first seven
days , but after that bad very bad weather , In
fact the worst I have ever * een. It posi
tively could not have been worse. We made
excellent weather of It , but the Amazonas
had quite a bad time of It and delayed us
so that we bad to call at Halifax for coal.
From there we had good weather. The New
Orleans , aa the Amazonas Is now called , bad
a boat stove in and several other small ac
cidents , but no ono was hurt. Our ship was
mistress of the waves , just u every sailor
now believes our navy Is. Wo have received
nearly all of our ofllcera back and our ma-
rlneo , but none of our crew. It was neces
sary to take the New Orleans directly to the
ship yard after our arrival hero at New
York. We are still anchored In the lower
bay and are hoping to get In the navy yard ,
where wo can get some liberty and hear
more of the news. The St. Paul came In to
night and we gave her a royal welcome. This
tittlqn ot war does not teem to make anj
change in us. We are all ready to do our
duty and hoist our battle cry : 'Remember
the Maine and take two for one. ' You may
rest assured we will do our whole duty and
If we have to die we will die like men. All
you need to have to win a fight nowadays Is
plenty of grit and be lively. Now ,
don't worry. God holds our Ihes In Hla
keeping and if He thinks It Is tlmo to take
us wo will be readv for It any minute. The
treacherous destruction ut the Maine and the
murder of our boys may prove to be the
best thing the Spanish could have done for
us. for It haa made every pallor afloat thirsty
for revenge and when the tlmo comes every
man and byy will domore than his duty. I
am afraid the only way peace can bo pre
served Is for Spain to bock out. It means
ruin for her if she fights and we are afraid
the won't give us the chance we are all BO
anxious tor. "

A concert was given last evening at the
Dohany theater , which proved to be one of
the most enjoyable that 'has been accessible
to tha Omaha public this season. It con-
Elated In a song recital given by Mrs. Kath-
erlno L. Flsk and MUs Rita Lorton. The
audience was large and appreciative and con
tained a small number of Omaha people.
The program was made up of duets and solos
covering a large range ot styles of musical
composition , ranging all the way from op-
orolic arias to folk songs. An unfortunate
defect was the neglect of the American com
poser , only Ethelbert Kevin being favored
by a place among the world's musical lumi
naries. Mrs. Flsk sang "Dlvlnlte du Styx , "
by Gluckj "Feldelnsamkolt , " by Brahms ;
"SI J'etals Jardlnler , " by Chamlnade ; "Lungl
dal Core Bcnc , " by Seccbt , and an old IrUh ,
an old Scotch and an old English song. Miss
Lorton sang the "Jewel Song" from "Faust , "
"Invocation to Vesta , " by Gounod : "Sand-
mancheu , " by Brahms ; "Volkslledchen , " by
Schumann ; "Vllanellc , " by Del Acqua ; "Who
Was Silvia ? " by Schubert ; "Tho Wild
Flower. " by Leonl , and "My Laddie , " by
Nevln. The duets were "Sommernacht" and
"Waldconcert , " by Schultz ; "Tho Angelus , "
by Chamlnade , and "Lea Ztngarelles , " by
Bordesc. Of these selections the aria by
Gluok , the song by Sccchl , "Samlmanchcu"
by Brahms and "Sommernacht" by Schultz
were the most Interesting. Nothing more
delicately beautiful than the little ballad by
) rahms con be. found anywhere. The song
> y Sccchl Is dramatic ami-grand.
Mrs. Flsk possesses one of those rare
voices which has a story to tell with Its
every tone. There Is In It a variety of tone
color that fits ovcry phase of every number
and Interprets Inner meanings quite beyond
he scope of loud and soft , high and low.
The highest pitch of enthusiasm reached
during the evening occurred at the close of
a verso of the "Star Spangled Banner , " eung
as an encore.
Mlsa Lorton has a lyric soprano voice of
lovely quality and moderate power. It has
> ceii well trained and she sings with keen
artistic perception. Her very best work was
done in the simple folk songs.
The accompaniments were played by W.
_ , Thlckstun in a manner pleasing to the
elngers and creditable to him. His work In
the "Sandmanchcu" was worthy of special
mention.

IIouoc Owner * Iteport Attempt * to
llrenk Into Their I'reiiilneii.
Alderman Pace reports that an attempt
wan made the other night 'by ' burglais to
break Into his home on Mynster street. . Since
tie ) numerous a.ttpmptE > of a similar charac
ter have been reported by other citizens Mr.
Pace has taken especial pains to protect his
homo and hau had electric burglar alarms
placed at-all of , the doors and windows. The
members of the family were awakened
fho.tly after midnight by the clanging of a
bell that had been set going by the opening
of a window. The alarm not only awakened
the family , but frightened away the bur
glars.
A house-worker's designs upon the resi
dence of P. C. DeVol were frustrated on
Wednesday night. In the early part of the
evening the front part of the house was un-
llghted and the curtains drawn closely over
the rear windows , gtvlng a deserted appear
ance to the p'.uce. At 8 o'clock the front
door bell rang violently number of timer.
Mr. DeVol was at home and was In no par
ticular hurry about anawelng the boll , which
continued to bo rung at short intervals.
When he opened the door quietly ho was
confronted by a man with his coat collar
turned up and a slouch hat drawn down
over his face. The fellow appeaved to be
somewhat surprised at the sudden opening ot
the door , but explained MB presence by In
quiring if the proprietor was In the habit
of assisting men In need of help. The fellow
appeared to be In excellent health and
physical condition and lost no time in dis
appearing when a negative reply was. given.
DeVol has no doubt that the fellow would
have broken into the house within a few
momenta , under the Impression that the
members of the family were all away.

DBS MOINB3 , April 21. ( Special. ) The
Iowa Transmlssltelppl Exposition commlsalon
has determined upon a method ot procedure
In the way of appointments which will sat
isfy a lavge number of candidates. The com
mission has decided to make Its appointments
for one month only. There are eight posi
tions to be filled by the commlrelon and as
the exposition will last five months the planet
ot making appointments for ono month only
will practically make forty places to be filled.
The commission hap received an Immense
number of applications for positions , many
of which have come from worthy young people
ple who Oefilrc to earn their expenses In
teeing the exposition by working for the
management.
The executive committee of ttie
Iowa commission for the Transml-
slcslppl Exposition yesterday awarded
the contract for the erectlou of
the Iowa building on the exposition grounds
to P. II. Wind of Council Bluffs for $7.793.
Mr. Wind stated to the committee that he
would file his bond for performance of con
tract some time today and begin work on
he contract within the next twenty-four
tours. The Mils , of which there was only
ono other , that of William Ooldie & Sous'
company , for $8,000 even money , we.e based
ipon plans slightly modified from there
originally submitted by the commission. The
; cneral design , style and dimensions of the
itruoture were retained. Some of the super-
uoua ornamental work is excluded In the now
plans , fifteen of the twenty flagpoles sur
mounting the Toot being taken outi while
some of the windows were reduced in size
and a few of them eliminated from the de
sign.
Preceding the opening of the bids the com-
nlttce discussed the subject of securing
music during the continuance of the exposi
tion and also devoted considerable time to
can\a slng plans for the assembling in the
building of a creditable art collection repre
sentative of the best and highest aspirations
of the state , but nothing definite was agreed
upon and the subjects were deferred for
future consideration.
The following appointments ot employes at
.ho Iowa building were made :
For hostess for the first month of the expo
sition , which will open June 1 , Mrs. C. O.
MoBvlde of Muecatlne and for the same posl-
q d rlnz Ib KST" ! njnritb , JIrs- Jonathan
' "
'vTerner of CouncirBluffs. "
Assistant for the. first month , Mlse Nellie
Bam > er of Oakland.
Messrs. , B. J. Kinsley of Harlan , E. E.
Crawford of Toledo and P. J. Kllnkor of
Denlson were appointed to positions In the
building , while Fred Wright of Marshalltown
was selected as janltbr for the opening
month and Mrs. iMcCauslanclvas given the
position of stenographer. Offices will be
opened by Secretary Chare in Council Bluffs
about May 1.
Nona of the employes named will begin
work until the building Is completed , which
It Is believed will bo about the second week
In 'May , leaving tWo weeks In which to fur-
nlah and place It In order for receiving the
people from the state ? who will attend .the
exposition. The IbW building will be a
handsome structure , attractive in appearance
and convenient In arrangement , and , with
the exhibits expected 'to be made by every
department of the Industries of the state ,
including farm , fleld mine and factory , It Is
expected to give I6wd a very creditable rep
resentation.
The commission Is considering some very
elaborate designs for decorative displays In
the agricultural exhibit and it is certain that
Iowa's display In that department will be
one of the very flncst , if not the best , at the
exposition. A decorator who bad charge of
the decorations for the Sioux City Corn pal
ace on teveral occasions will probably have
charge of the work and the decorations will
bo superior to the famous displays made at
the famous Corn palace.
An expert will In a few days commence the
examination of the books of ex-City Clerk
N. B. Vcrtrees , who retired from office last
week. It Is said that the books are not eut-
flclen'tly ' explicit and that there are a great
many expenditures lumped Instead of being
given In detail. It la further irtated by the
city officials that when Mr. Vertrees retired
from 'office he took his petty ledger home
with him , so that It is impossible for the
new city clerk to explain the lump sums on
the general cash book. It Is possible that the
wok of the expert will result In sensational
developments. While the expert Is at the
work of looking over the ex-clerk's books It
has been decided by the mayor to have the
examination Include all the offices. A general
checking up of books will bo accomplished
so that the new officials < can start out with
clean ledgers and accounts.
