LINCOLN , May 1.Special. ( . ) Camp
Baunders was thronged with visitors today ,
excursion trains having run In on every road
nnd from all directions. A very conservative
estimate places the number of out-of-town
visitors at 12,000. At noon many of them
Rent to the city for lunch and succeeded In
rating out every hotel nnd restaurant. Owing
to the drirzllng rain which set In soon after
dinner there were fewer Lincoln people out
than visited thu camp last Sunday.
The order which will start the1 Klrst regi
ment west tomorrow makes that regiment'
the center of attraction. I'rlemls said good
byes to the boys who expect to summer In
the Philippines and through tears gave partIng -
Ing nihlro as to their health. Would-be re
cruits In great numbers visited every company -
pany ami seemed disappointed when given
the Invariable answer "Pull. " There were
probably 300 voung men hero begging for
I dees In the regiments.
In splto of the drizzling rain the crowd
was a good natured one , icnltzlng that the
boys In their cnmp llfo would encounter
many worse days The visitors found com
fortable shelter In tcnti and the- fair ground
buildings , where they v\cre entertained by
concerts given by the two regimental bands.
Later tn the afternoon the weather was
wore favorable , and large numbers of the
people from the city came out to the camp
'The crowd that witnessed the & o'clock dresi
parade was larger oven than that of last
Ew.dny.

The Mil ford cavalry troop was mustered
n this afternoon. There were three com
missioned officers and eighty-one enlisted
nen and they were mustered In as a dis
mounted troop , the matter of horses to be
uranged by the government at some later
late. The troop will hereafter bo known

cer Cavalry. " H Is learned that the thtce
regiments of cavalry will bo known as
'Hoosevoil's Hough Riders , " "Torrej's Tl-
; erV nnd "Grlgsby's Grits , " respectively.
The officers of these volunteer troops of
cavalry are commissioned by the secretary
of v\ar. There was at one tltno a prospect
of n clash between the governor and the
War department over the question of the
commissions for the Culver troop , but this
seems to have been avoided.
Congressman Stark came In from Wash-
ngton today and accompanied by the gov
ernor made a hurried trip to the part of
, ho camp occupied by the cavalry company.
They inquired for Captain Culver and
seemed much disappointed to find that he
ivas Just then being mustered In with his
troops. If it was their purpose to Inter-
lore In the mustering In of the officers of
: ho troop they were too law. It Is not
known to a certainty that this was the
; > urposo of their errand , but It was plain
Lhat they were anxious to see the officers
before they wcro mustered In , Congress
man Stnik leaves for Washington tomoi-
row. Troop K Is ordered to rendezvous at
Chlckamnuga , but the date for moving has
not been set.

The flax Industry ot this state Is forging
steadily ahead , sajs the Salem Statesman.
This Intelligence Is made certain by an In
terview with Mrs. Lord , who Is one of the
most devoted and active friends of the ven
ture Inaugurated by the Oregon Women's
Klax Fiber association.
According to this woman , the seeding for
the coming crop Is all done , and covers 140
acres of the best flax laud In the state The
scutching mill at this point , under the sklll-
tul management of W. W. Cunningham , will
begin at once to finish the last ot the
product of 1S97.
The product ot the scutching mill here ,
heretofore worked up , has been sold to a
good advantage In Scotland , though the re
turns are not yet at hand. Ten cents Is the
figure achieved , and it Is said thcyoncomlng
fiber will bring 12 cents per pound ; these
prices being advances of 2 and 4 cents over
all other American grades.
The association has orders In hand for
every ounce ot the 1S9S product , and aside
from this palpable business advantage , com
plete arrangements have been made whereby
the United States authorities ( from the
Agricultural department ) will assume full
charge of the association's display at the
Omaha exposition , giving it prominent
space , advantageous display and good ad-
vciUsing ; and other notable experts will
contribute to the advancement of the exhibit
there ; the whole scheme being properly
credited to Oregon.
It Is not probable the Oregon Women's
Plax Plber association will make a state ex
hibit this fall , though It will put an elab
orate array of fibers and linens on show nt
the Portland exposition. This Is due par
tially to the fact that tbo Omaha and Salem
fair dates conflict , and largely to the facl
that Portland has been the most constant
and generous friend ot the project from Its
Inception.
At all events , the now jcar Is bright with
promise for the flax business of Oregon.

was feared that the seed bad been blown
out or uncovered , necessitating reseedlng
the late rains and favorable weather have
brought the grain forward to such an ex

One man from St. Louis testified that It

for n diploma. He said that he answered ,
seven questions and that his diploma was
mailed to him two dajs later and that he '
paid $73 for It. Immediately upon receiving '
It he took the diploma to the clerk of the '

applicants for $75 each , $10 cash tn advance
and the remainder when the diploma was '
delivered. With these copies rcgl'trntlon .

There will be n mcclln got the Board ot
Education tonight , when U Is expected thit
the committee on buildings and grounds
will report upon a slto for nn addition to
Highland school. The question of more
school room Is a serious one and additions
to a number of the school hou'cs nre needrd ,
At tha present time the expenses of the
schools amount to about JD.COO n month
nnd with the Increased attendance cxpectoJ
next fall the cost trill be much more than
this. i
Where the money will come from Is cans-
Ing the members of the board considerable
worry. Aside from these troubles the prei i
ent board and the members-elect nre nt
swords' points on the matter of the selec- ,
tlon of teachers and a superintendent. An
attempt nt a compromise was made last
week , but without avail. The present mem
bers Insist that they are perfectly competent
to select suitable teachers and also n su
perintendent of Instruction and they pro
pose to do It. The new members , who will
take their scats at the first regular meeting
In July , will without doubt Ignore all of
the contracts made bv the present board and I
employ teachers as they want. It Is stated |
that In case the present board enters Into
another contract with Prof. Munro that
the new board will repudiate U an.l Install
a superintendent of Its own selection , Then
the llgth will most likely be carried Into the
courts to determine whether contracts made
by the retiring board nro valid. Interesting
times arc predicted in school matters about
July 1.

Mavor Ensor said jestcnlay that on
Thursday night the council would take up
the liquor license matter nnd settle It some
way. The ordinance reducing the occupation
tax has been signed nnd Is a law. All of the
'saloon keepers have withdrawn their pro
tests against the payment of nn occupation
tax providing the tax does not amount to
over $200.
Remonstrances against the granting of a
number of applications for license will also
bo heard Tucsda ) night. It Is thought that
v.lth the license fixed at $300 with an occu
pation tax of $200 the numbet of sa
loons heie will be greatly Increased. Sev
ontv-flvc applications have already been
printed nnd It Is estimated that there will
be nl lea&t ten more saloons started. This
will bring quite a sum to the school fund
as vi ell as to the city.

It Is stnteJ that as soon as the occupation
ta\ matter Is settled and the city Is free to
use the ironcy that at least one fire engine
will be purchased. Chief Smith has for
jears advocated the purchase of an engine
and a truck , the latter to bo used In the
business part of the cltj and the former to
answer packing house I'larms. In case the
cnglne'Ms bought It will bo stationed on
top of the hill In the Third ward so that It
will lave a down giadc run to all of the
packing houses All of the packing estab
lishments now have pumps of their o.vn to
Incicnse the direct pressure In case of a
conflagration , but It Is deemed necessary to
provide this additional protection An en
gine similar to those in use in Omaha will
most likely be purchased.

At last an electric light has been placed
nt the railroad classing nt Thltty-slxth and
L streets. When the stock jnrds compauj
was granted the right to lay n track across
L street nnd along Boyd street the council
Insisted that the jards maintain a light at
this point. The crossing Is In a bad condi
tion on account of recent grading and n
llfeht was badly needed. After Innumerable
requests the stock jards companj has finally
compiled with the agreement and located
the light.
An attempt Is to be made shortly to com
pel the railroad companies operating inside
the city limits to maintain lights at all of
the crossings.

request but now there seems to bo a desire
to avoid the payment of this tax and Coun
cilman Slort of the Fourth ward has asked
that the ordinance be repealed. It Is under

II AMUSEMENTS.
"Panchon , the CrlcKct , " had not been
la > ed In Omaha until jestcrday since
alnt > little Gladys Wallls took her charm-
ng way through the May-polo frolic nt
t. Andoche on the Bo > d stage a couple of
ears ago , nor before that foi beasons and
canons , since good old. Maggie Mitchell
nst shook her ancient limbs in the shadow
ance. The queer old play Is perfectly well
tno\vn to all except the verj youngest pa-
rons of the drama : nnd many , bofli In
rnbbed age and > outh , still love It dearly
or what It h s been and Is
All stage representations , past and prcs-
nt , of "Panchon" have depended and must
cpend for their chief Interest In the title
ole and in her who has undertaken to nil
t. Uoubjless the personality of Maggie
Iltcholl originally Invested the play and
ho character with a vitality which neither
might have possessed without such aid ;
> ut , even dcpilved of whatever genius that
rtlst may have dlsplavod , the Cricket has
Iways been the central figure throughout
he action , even to the relegation of all
he other characters to a position of com
parative Insignificance.
The presentations now in progress at the
Crelghton furnish no exception to the rule ,
'robibly the intrinsic Importance of the
hnractcr has a good deal to do with this
esult. as It always has ; but the work of
Miss Pollock , this Panchon of the present
occasion , merits commendation and encour
agement In no small measure. She Is a
jalhetlc little figure , comporting herself In-
arlably with natlvo dignity , childishly
bandoned to pleasure In the solitary shadow
lance , and most uuchlldlshly solemn In the
presence of others. Miss Pollock's perform
ance shows her to possess n degree of
ability which not even her very acceptable
wotk heretofore has foreshadowed , nnd Its
smoothness and s m-
s certain to grow In >
netry as the week progresses. All the other
members of the company , with the exception
of Mr. nnos , are In the cast , and one or
.wo new faces are seen in the May-polo
dance , but the characters are of various
legrees of unlmpoi lance , and call for no
special comment , although they are done
as well as need be.
The specialties Include songs by Mr. Gag-
non , come excellent moving plituros dls-
playtd by the blograph , and one Slgfrled ,

Yesterday afternoon at the Plrst Congre
gational chuich n program of selections
from the first part ot tlio oratorio "Elijah"
was given under the direction of Homer
Mooie. The inusle.il performance was
prefaced by some remarks by Mr. Moore on
the origin of the oratorio as an order of
musical composition , the character of the
prophet niljah , and of Mendelssohn the
comioaer. A number ot thu choruses were
sung b > the choir , augmented for this occa
sion by several of Omaha's best singers The
work showed precision nnd finish and was an
Improvement over that done two months ago
when the Fame muslu was sun ? .
The solos were token bv Miss VnnKuran ,
Mis. Ely. Mr. Wing Allen and Mr. Moore.
The audience wr.s largo considering the
weather and by Its close attention manifested
gre.it interest In all that was done. Next
