John Chinaman will not cat of the food
which has been prepared or In anywise
handled by an alien race. So when ho hna
in mind n Journey to some land far removed
from the cplcstlal kingdom his first con-
( ( deration Is the packing and transportation
of such tlilngD as will minister to an ap
petite most delicate In Its discrimination
and hedged about by the racial and religious
traditions of many centuries.
IJown In the government warehouse ,
where no man save nn olllclnl Is allowed ,
Is stored the means of subsistence for some
3r,0 celestial visitors to the expot-ltlnn. And ,
mind you , these ari > not Hong Kong , Seven
Council , washlc-washlc Chinamen. They
are the pure Mongols , sprung from the race
which came from the mountain lands , the
dominating conquerors of the familiar John.
There Is plied sack upon sack of rice S..OOO
pounds In all. It Is lu noulac superior , or
even equal , In quality to cither the Japanese
or South Carolina rice , being siiallcr and
harder and less palatable. Hut It comes
from the Flowery Kingdom ; was picked by
saffron-hucd believers and will be faton
with a good conscience and chop ttlcks.
Eggs , duck eggs , of peculiar shape and
packed In the mud of the sacred ci.ll after
being thoroughly salted , are piled high In
cases bearing the curious cabalUMc charac
ters. Cabbages such ns the whlto mnn
knows not , sweetmeats packed In dainty
jars and of rare spice and quality , fruits and
vegetables , such as have never been seen
here , arc all awaiting cele-itlnl hunger. Four
hundred and twenty cases of tea will ap
pease their thirst. It Is good tea , too.
The Inspectors go through the entries
most carefully , not that the Chinese are
more dishonest than olhsr nations' , but
there Is one little thing wherein the Juice
of a broad acre Is drawn up and' distilled
Into a drop , the leaf of the poppy , ' . \hlch
John uses In such fashion as will waft his
Bplrlt back to the Sunflower land. The duty
thereon Is very high , a modicum can easily
be stowed away In a faUo bottom and the
inspectors must be wary.

CADETS ON DRESS PARADE
Annnnl Drill to llr Held at Ilnne Hull
UronmlN Next Krlilnr
KvriiliiK.
Next Friday evening the Omaha High
school cadets will hold their Annual com-
pctltlvo drill and the successful company
will be awarded the honor of carrying the
flag during the year.
Heretofore this military tournament has
been under the direction of the Thurston
Rifles. This year the cadets will demonstrate -
strato that they have profited by their
former lessons from this company.
Very few students of the school , and Indeed - i
deed very few people , remember the first
military company organized at the High
school. It was In the days when thlrty-nvo
wcro considered a very largo graduating
class. It was when one of the seniors bor
rowed a dozen old muskets and proceeded
to organize a company. This company flour
ished for some time , becoming somewhat
proficient In the use of arms , although the
boys had only themselves for Instructors , In
one of their sham battles one daring soldier
filled the face of ono of the enemy with
powder. This put a quietus on military en
thusiasm for a time.
In 1893 public sentiment crystallzcd In the
formation of the Institution known as the
I Omaha High School cadets. Not much prog-
I I ress was made this year , none of the com-
I I panics having uniforms. Nevertheless dc- I
i vclopmcnt was quietly going on and during J
'
I the next year the uniform now so well'
I known was adopted by the cadets. Mean
while , through the efforts of friends of the
High school , an officer of the United States
army was designated to act as Instructor
of military tactics.
The handsome ( lag which Is borne by the
boys at all battalion drills and parades was
gained through the generosity of the school
board and the girls.
At present the Instructor and comman
dant Is Lieutenant W. A. Campbell , U. S. A. ,
with the five companies captained as follows :
Company A , Captain Clarke ; D , Captain
Roblson ; C , Captain Potter ; D , Captain
Manchester ; E , Captain Johnston.
The competitive drill will take place nt
about 8 o'clock In the new base ball park.
The companies will be carried by street
cars to the grounds. Preceding this there
will bo a parade through the principal
streets , the line of march to be announced
later.
HcHldea the company drill there will be
Individual competitive drills and exhibition
drills , In which outside companies are ex
pected to take part. At the close there will
be a battalion drill , during which the honor
of carrying the flog will bo bestowed on the
victorious company.
Practical Application of n Proverb.
Whether on business or pleasure bent , or
sport claims you as one of Its votaries , the
New York Central affords all. and more
than all , the best. In roadbed , In safety of
mechanical contrivances , In the elegance
and comfort of Its coaches. In the creature
comforts of Its dining and sleeping cars , It
Is unsurpassed and unsurpassable. Its
management is modest In claiming that "the
rumble of the Empire State Express Is heard
round the world. " They might , with Justi
fication have claimed that Its praises are so
heard. A Journey In this , the fastest regular - ,
lar train In the world. Is marked as a red-
letter day In the memory of the oldest trav
eler ; and In many a book of reminiscences
the New York Central has received the
recognition that Is Its due. No traveler , be
ho native born or foreign , who has passed
ever this greatest of American railroads
but who is willing to give It unstinted meed
of praises ; Indeed , few wait for Inspiration
to do sd. "Safe bind , safe find , " Ms a
proverb that , in railroad matters , its man
agement has studied well and applied prac
tically. The public records attest It. Out-

AT THE HOTELS.
Joseph R. Kathrens of Milwaukee , who is
In Omaha on business , has Just returned
from a meeting of the Proprietaiy Associa
tion of America held In Washington and
called for the purpose of protesting against
the heavy tax about to be levied upon pro
prietary remedies. The bill , which Is so
objectionable to the drug trade of the United
States , is now before the senate nnd Is
known as n. H. Bill , 10,100. In this measure
there Is a clause laying a war tcx of 1 cents
on nil remedies'which retail for $1 ; 2 cents
on Co-cent articles and 1 cent on 23-cent ar
ticles. The manufacturers contend that a
tax of 4 cents on an artlclo which retails at
$1 amounts to n tax of 5 per cent to them ,
as they receive not more than CO cents for
goods which retail at | 1. Although they are
not opposed to a reasonable tax on their
wares , they feel that S per cent is a tax
which is prohibitive In many instances.
The bill also proposes to require retailers to
put stamps on all the goods they have la
stock , but it Is probable that this clause
will be stricken out and only the wholesaler
and manufacturer compelled to stamp goods.
Druggists feel that there Is Jir.tltc In a mod
erate war tax on the articles they handle
and they also believe that many proprietary
goods in other lines shouU bear an equal
burden.

An adjourned meeting of the city council
was held yesterday afternoon with Council
man A. R. Kelly presiding. Mayor Ensor
, was absent as was also President Uarreti.
t Three sidewalk ordinances were passed pro
| viding for the laying of walks on the east
side of Thirteenth street , between Missouri
avenue and M street ; on the west side of
.Seventeenth street , from Missouri avenue
|
, one block north , and on the south side of I
street , between Twenty-first and Twenty-
third streets.
I I The mayor , city treasurer and finance
committee were authorized to borrow $1,600
for the payment of bonds coming due on
June 1 , and a warrant for $5,000 was or
dered drawn to pay interest on maturing
coupons.
City Clerk Carpenter was directed to no
tify the contractors In charge of the erec
tion of the new postoffice building to lay
a sidewalk around the fence which now en
closes the site. It was stated that pedestri
ans are required to use the street on the
cast and Eouth sides of the proposed struc
ture. A number of complaints have been
made and the council proposes to see that
the rights of the citizens are protected.
City Attorney Montgomery and Chairman
Dennett of the finance committee made a
repor.t on the Ed Burke claim. At the re-
quest of the council these officials visited
he Omaha Gas company managers with J
, flew to settling the claim. The gas com
pany refused to make any terms and Durkc
will sue. The claim dates from ) last winter
when Burke and his son were Injured by
'ailing Into the gas trenches on N street.
Liquor licenses were granted to the Ex
change hotel , Charles Mies , 2717 Q street ;
311a T. Christ , 2627 N street ; Andrew Chrls-
lansen , 671 South Twenty-eighth street ;
Schlltz Brewing company , Twenty-fourth
and F streets.
Although no mention was made of it dur-
ng the council proceedings , it is understood
hat attorneys have advised City Treasurer
Broadwell that he has no right to refund
any portion of the saloon occupation tax
evled by the ordinance first passed. This
money Is now In the hands of the treasurer
and he does not like the Idea of refunding
t without Instructions from the council.
In order to settle the matter the reasurer
secured advice from his attorney.'The city
attorney was also requested to hand in an
ipinlon. Both opinions seem to agree and
t Is stated that the plan is to allow the
saloon keepers to sue for the $300 paid .In
excess and thus determine whether the
treasurer can legally refund taxes and also
whether the council has a right to Impose
an occupation tax.
It was the Intention to take up the liquor
license remonstrance cases , but owing to
the fact that some of the defendants were
not ready to go to trial the hearing was
postponed until 8 o'clock Wednesday even-
Ing.
IT ad Condition of Street * .
Yesterday afternoon Joseph Novak , through
W. R. Patrick his attorney , flled a claim for
$125 against the city to recompense him for
the loss of a horse and harness. Novak Is
a teamster and Is at present engaged in
hauling sand along Q street. While driving
along Q , between Seventeenth and Eight
eenth streets , yesterday the roadvay gave
way and both of his horses went down Into
n deep hole. By considerable hard work one
of the horses was released , but the ether
died before anything could be done to save
it. Street Commissioner Ross states that he
has made an examination of the locality and
finds that Q street , from Seventeenth west
to Twenty-second , is honeycombed > md in
a dangerous condition.
The street commissioner was kept busy
all day yesterday protecting dangerous holes
In the streets and last evening ho reported
bad washouts on Thirteenth , from I street
south to P street ; on Missouri avenue , from
Twentieth street cast ; " on Twenty-seventh
street , between J and K streets ; on J street ,
between Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth
streets , arid on Thirtieth street , between S
and U streets.
While the paved streets were given a
thorough cleansing by the hravy rain of
Friday night , the unpaved and ungraded
streets all over the city suffered greatly.
The storm water sewers worked all right und
carried off the surplus water without burst-
Ing. Most of the damage done was on
streets recently graded and on filled ground.
The expense of making the necessary re
pairs will amount to a considerable sum and
the money will have to come from the saloon
occupation tax fund , as the street repair
fund Is about exhausted.
Bonn for the Indian * .
South Omaha products are In demand by
the goveinment at the present time and the
packers expect to be forced to work over
time to supply the wants of the troops be
fore the war Is over. The latest order placed-
by the government .was received yesterday
by the Cudahy Packing company and called

FIRST GUN OF THE CAMPAIGN
llrpiilillcnn County Central Commit
tee FIxcN Unto for Connrrcnnloiiul
I'rliiinrlcn nnd Convention.
At a meeting of the republican county
central committee held at Washington hall
yesterday afternoon , the county delegate
convention to select 128 delegates to the
congressional convention was set for Satur
day , May 28 , at 2 o'clock. The primaries
will be held on the preceding day. The rep
resentation was fixed at nine delegates from
each ward in Omaha , fourteen from South
Omaha and five from each county precinct.
The only difference of opinion that devel
oped was confined to the South Omaha dele
gation and it , referred to the question ot
whether the South Omaha primaries should
be held in one booth or separate primaries
held in each of the four wards. In the first
place the South Omaha delegation asked
that their representation be Increased from
fourteen to sixteen delegates. This was con
ceded by the committee without objection
and then the South , Omaha delegation pro
ceeded to masticate the rag over the
question of separate primaries. The result
was that the committee shut off debate by
unanimously passing the original resolution ,
which allowed them only fourteen delegates.
The selection ot the locations of the prima
ries was left to the various ward delega
tions , with the understanding that they
should be handed in to Secretary Tuttle at
once so that they could bo published In the
call Monday evening.
