Politics Is the keynote of the situation In
the annual encampment of the Sons of Vet
erans. Routine business , of course , Is being
transacted , but that appears to bo of second
ary Importance when compared to the wire
pulling that Is being done In connection with
the election of officers. There arc two hot
fights In prosr-cct over the offices and an
other over the location of next year's en
campment. This Is the situation that fur
nishes a zest to the present meetings that
probably has never been equaled In the
past. Certainly delegates who have at
tended many a past encampment stafo that
they have never seen such keen political
vork done nt any former meeting nor any
political maneuvering that bears so close a
rcscmbranco to the preliminary skirmishes
of a political party convention.
The delegates were caucusing Monday
night. Thcro wcro several of the meetings
and one or two of them did not adjourn until
eomo hour this morning. The situation
'resulting ' from these caucuses appears
to have resolved Itself Into something of a
flght between the cast and the west. Cer
tainly the cast has outlined a plan of action
which will land a majority of the main
offices and plums of the order In the east
nnd the western delegates are preparing to
resist the scheme to the bitter end.
Monday there wore three candidates for
commandcr-ln-chlef. Yesterday morning
there seemed to bo but ono. Lieu
tenant Governor Jones of Ohio , who
was mentioned for the office , does
not appear to have seen his way
clear to a victory and It IB said that he did
not care for political reasons to run the
chance of a defeat. Consequently ho Is re
ported to have tied up with the forces that
liavo backed Colonel Frank Shcpard of Illi
nois. Ovcrdorf of New York , who was the
third candidate , has not withdrawn from
the race jet , but It Is said that ho will do
BO and that Colonel Shepard will bo elected.
Where the I.liie In
The election of Colonel Shcpard Is a favor
to the east , but In return considerable Is
demanded from the weit. For example , the
Blato requires the transfer of the quarter
master's supply depot from Chicago to
Doston. The west will make a vigorous fight
on this. Then again the slate calls for the
election of present Adjutant General Holton
KB quartermaster general , nnd hero again
Iho west proposes to make a flght. C. Berln
of Oberlln , Kan. , Is a prominent candidate
for this office , which In many ways Is con
sidered the most desirable ono of the com
mandery. Ho has a strong following who
nro dotcrmlned to see him elected ,
There Is still another thing that the east
wants. That Is the location of next year's
encampment at Cincinnati. This city Is n
dark horse In the race , for when the en
campment commenced only Denver , San
Francisco nnd Uoston were mentioned. The
Dcnverltes are not nt all pleased with this
situation , and will make a hard flght for the
mountain city. They count confidently upon
the support of the western delegates.
Nebraska bns decided to offer the name
of Frank J. Coates as candidate for Junior
vlco commander-ln-chlef , which office Is
usually glvtn to the division In which the
encampment takes place. George E. Cos
of Connecticut seems likely to capture the
office of senior vlco commander-ln-chlef.
These political matters had probably en
grossed the attention of the delegates toe
much to fit them for the transaction ol
much actual business this morning. Cer
tainly , the encampment did not take actlor
on anything of Importance. The commit
tees had not yet completed their work and
were not ready to report , although a few
partial reports were presented. No nctlor
on anything was taken , however.
A feature of the session was the presenta
tion to the encampment by the Massachu
setts de-legation of a handsome crayon portrait
trait of Commander-ln-Chlef Datllng. Thh

Many telegrams of regret were rcai

The red-hot tlmo that was predicted ma
tcrlallzcd at the afternoon session to a con
uldernblo degree , when partial reports wcri
presented by the committee. Hours wen
spent In discussion and finally a few of th
matters were disposed of before nn adjourn
rtirnt was taken at 6 30 o'clock. Most of th
business done was of a negative charade :
The most vigorous debate occurred over
report from the committee on constltutloi
and by-laws recommending a change In th
eligibility to membership. There were tw
reports a majority nnd a minority. Th
former recommended that the membershl
fchould be restricted to the male descendant
of those civil war soldiers who saw actuo
service At present the male descendants c
those who enlisted , whether In service o
not , are eligible to membership. The minor
ity report opposed the change.
The debate over the reports lasted fa
several hours. There was a vigorous objcc
tlon to the proposed change from many c
the delegates , who Insisted that the me
who enlisted for service , but were not en
'Knged ' In battle , were entitled to as muc
credit as these men whu faced the guns c
the- confederate soldiers. This view prc
\alled and the proposed change * was vote
down.
' The encampment also voted down a
amendment that raised the muster fco froi
$1 to $3 and provided * that each mcmbe
should bo given a certificate of membershli

The Sons of Veterans gathered In Crelgh-
ton hull for n compflre last evening. J. A.
Deck was toastmnstcr for the evening and
Introduced Mayor Frank E. Moores , who
delivered the address of welcome on behalf
of the city , assuring them that It Is theirs
to do what they wish with. He expressed
the hope that they would go homo thinking
that Omaha Is all right and the exposition
Is all right. He said In part :
It IB alvui8 a pleasure to mo to meet and
greet any body of men who are doing some
thing to Increase patriotism and to cause
our citizens to values more highly the liber
ties guaranteed by thin splendid republic
Nothing of great and permanent \nlno was
ever gained without prl\atlon and sacrifice
American liberties cost privation , suffering
and death. The revolution brought bereave
ment and bankruptcy to many , and > ct our
forefathers considered the glorious liberties
acquired well worth the sacrifice. It was to
preserve this union inviolate ami to removes
from Liberty's escutcheon the foul blot of
human slavery that the greatest war In his
tory was fought.
Some have found fault with the Grand
Army of the Republic and Its kindred organ-
Iratlons because , as was asserted , they
tended to keep open old wounds and foil the
fires of resentment and hatred by dwelling
on the ilecelR of the battlefield. Hut they nro
mistaken. No men have had moro to do
with bringing about this union than the old
soldier , and none rejoice moro than ho at Its
accomplishment.
I urn proud of the record of the Sons of
Veterans. They Lave proved themselves
worthy sons of worthy sires. They cheer
fully enlisted at their country's call , they
fought bravely In the line of battle , they en
dured uncomplainingly the discomforts of
the camp , the severity of discipline and the
plainness of a soldier's fare , they know that
war at best was a round of hard
ships and dangers , they chafed un
der camp life , not because it was Irksome and
disagreeable , but because they could not
get to the front to show their devotion on
the battlefield. Wo regret that there are not
many more boys hero tonight , but wo Know
that many of them are detained by their du
ties In their country's service.
The old army Is fast passing away , but n
now Grand Army Is coming on to take its
place an army that shall Instill Into their
children the same love of country and devo
tion to duty that they learned from their
sires' who fought In the old Grand Army
The country will be safe In their hands and
the ( lag will still remain the harbinger of
hope and liberty to these oppressed the
world over.
Major Clnrkftoii on ( he I'rcHciif.
On behalf of the Sbns of Veterans , Byron
G. nurbank made a fitting response to the
cordial welcome of the mayor. Ho reviewed
tUo crowth and work of the Sons of Vet
erans , showing the relation of the organi
zation to other societies established for the
purpose of fostering the spirit of patriotism.
Ho was followed by T. S Clarkson , past
comntander-ln-chlef of the Grand Army of
the Republic , whoso subject was "DaUle-
flelds of ' 61. " Mr. Clarkson said In part :
It was a blessed privilege that the young
manhood of this nation had in ' 01. The
world never produced a moro magnificent
body of men than faced the bullets on both
sides. The wonder was that they were all
good men all American citizens , and that
Is what made the struggle so hard. We
need not lay the nattering unction to our
souls that we nlono were brave. The }
fought as they did at Santiago the other
day. The world maltcs no record of such
bloody conflicts as Gettysburg and Mission
ary Hldge. They wcro brother against
brother. More than double the whole army
organized to defeat Spain fell between ' 61
and ' 63.
Wo lay In the mud and rain without com
plaint. Wo ate hardtack and bacon and did
not complain. My comrades gave their sons
without complaint. Who Is It that Is accus
ing the War department' It Is not the sol
dier , but the yellow journalist I hope and
trust that the Sons of Veterans will achieve
the same victory over themselves that their
sires achieved and resume the duties of cit
izenship easily and quickly.
Hon. John M. Thurston was the last
speaker. His subject was "Tho War with
9
Spain and Its Kffect on the Sons of Vet-
B
erans. " Ho was given a llattcrlng greeting
. by the audience and spoke In part as follows -
[ lows :
I have just returned from Cincinnati ,
vvliero I was a spectator of the giandest
parade that I over witnessed. The battered
remnants of the civil war for four steady
hours passed by the platform whcro 1 sato
As I remember their halting Etcps I am
glad that wo Sons of Veterans are able to
perpetuate their achievements. The Revo
lution made our dear old Hag mean freedom
fiom kingly uile. The Rebellion made It
mean pcisonal liberty. The war with Spain
has made It mean humanity. It has brought
out the flags Never were they so gladly
waved as now In even section of the land
It has postponed the tlmo when any other
flag will bo cheered In the American sky.
Today on land and sea It floats supremo.
If I have read history aright. God uses
soldiery In working out His plans. That
nation Is on the highway to peace that
shows the world that It Is ready to protect
Its own honor and thobo who arc unable
to protect themselves

The opening tesslon of the tenth nnnua
national convention of the Ladles' Aid So
ciety of the Sons of Veterans was held at
the rooms of the Commercial club. This is
the first time that the convention has been
held In the webt and an unusually large
o number of delegates were present ! rcpre
sentlng twelve states ; mostly these of the
cast and middle west. Colorado and Mlnne
sola sent the largest delegations. The pro
ccedlngs provided for a business meeting a
which routine business was conducted. The
reports of the various officers wore reai
showing an Increase for the year of thirty
three new societies. State reports also were
read relating to the raising of funds am
the providing of nurses for the Invalid vol
unteers.

The opening meeting of the Old Time
Telegraphers' association was held on the
seventh floor of The Bee building > esterday
morning. It was moro largely attended than
any meeting of the association , except the
one held at Plttsburg. When Colonel J. J.
Dickey of this city called the meeting to or-
dero there were about 125 of the old knlghm
of the key present , nnd more are expected
to arrive hero during the next couple of
days. These present represented nearly all
sections of the country , the attendance from
the eastern cities being particularly good
Mayor Frank n. Moores delivered a fitting
address of welcome , extending the freedom
f the city to the visitors and assuring them
mt Omaha was glad to entertain them ,
le said In part1
I d ° cm It a special privilege that as mayor
of Omaha It devolves upon me to welcome jou
to our iIty. It Is alwa > s a privilege to meet
men who Invo had a prominent part In
moulding the history and directing the
irogrcss of their country or of the world.
) no lejolces to meet the man with the mas
ter mind , whether his talents and achieve
ments have been In art , science , finance1 , wai
or what not , the man whoso capacities fit
Urn to lead , and whoso pride and ambition
111 not permit him to follow a life of Innc-
vity nnd slothfulncss ; the man whose men-
al make-up Is such that he must find cause
or "very effect , and tcason for every cause.
uch men as these have hitched the lightning
0 the car of progress , or have sent It to
arry their messages round the world These
re they who make civilization and dlscov-
ry and progress. It Is fortunate for the *
\orlil that such men as Wheatstono nnd
ooko In the Old World , nnd Morse nnd
UfrcJ Vail In the New. dlrectc-d their ntten-
lon to the subject of electric telegraphy ,
'hey were men of analytical minds , keen
wcsptleiii and dogged perblstency. The fall-
ires which had come to their predecessors
> nly spurred them to firmer resolves and
tnoro determined efforts While thu Old
Vorld may claim for Itself the earliest transmission -
mission of messages by telegraph , jet to
\merlca belongs tha honor of perfecting the
yston ? for today the Morse system Is of
\orld-wldr use and has supplanted all oth-
rs for general utility. How quickly the
vorld adapts Itself to new conditions and
lew discoveries Eighty years ago Tonolds ,
n sarly English Investigator Into electricity ,
icrfected a crude Instrument for sending
irsbjrcs by electricity and applied to the
English government for assistance , but was
nformcd that "telegraphs of any Kind were
wholly unnecessary" Morse'u discoveries
ven made only fifty-odd years ago. and yet
oday we have In the United States 200,000
mll s of telegraph Hues , not Including rall-
oad nnd private lines , and In the world n
otal of nearly 1,000,000 mllrs. Business has
come to depend entirely upon the telegraph

CloMiiK Another Wnr.
Today , after more than thirty years of
peace , our country Is dictating the terms
which shall close another war tFiat has been
short but glorious. A war which wiped out
north and south and Joined again the citi
zens of this country under a common flag , a
war which has seen confederate and union
shoulder to shoulder In patriotic devotion
fighting for our national honor You do
not gather today to revive the bitterness
nnd sorrow of that other war , but to talk
over and cherish the old scenes and ac
quaintances of other days. No man re
joices moro over the unifying results of the
war with Spain than does the old soldier.
He cherishes only the kindliest feeling for
the bravo men who fought against him as
only Anglo-Saxons can flgnt.
Many of the men hero today who are
members of the Military Telegraph Corps
have performed nplendld deeds of heroism
In their country's service They have ac
cepted posts of danger without hesitation
and have performed their duty unflinchingly
In the face of almost certain capture or
death. Kevv branches of military life In the
civil war were attended by greater dangers
or carried greater responsibilities than
did jours , and It Is not strange that you
should love to gather yearly to revive the
memories of these trying dajs.
Gentlemen , In closing these brief remarks
1 desire again to bid you welcome most cor
dially to our city. I wish to say that here
In Omaha we are strictly up-to-date and use
the modern method of telegraphing without
the use of wires. Fearing that some mem
bers of jour association might lose theli
way nt night or bo confused by the glare
of the elcctilc light and so need assistance ,
I have prepared for your use this telegraph
key. If any of you should feel In need ol
anything , from a corkscrew to nn ambu
lance. Just put this key down on the ground
jnd "ml mo a message , or If the cold w athci
sh uld ho benumb jour lingers that jou arc
unable to use the key. Just go to the near
est telephone nnd call up No. 155 , and 1
will send out the assistance needed. Ladles
and gentlemen , take the town. Every
thing In It Is yours , with one exception ,
Don't take our new depot ; we never had
one before , and wo want to keep this ono.
( Laughter and applause. )
Cii < > N Them the Ker.
To make good his words he presented t
unique key to the city to the association
It was In the form of a telegraph key
with all the usual bits of mechanism , am
was decorated with the national colors. Ii
contained the date and place of the meeting
and In the lower left-hand corner wai

You must remember also that a part o
this association was connected as mlrltar
telegraphers with the army , and they the :
had the key to the whole situation of th
army , and had It not been for the high ?
officials and Incompetent men you hav

BEE KEEPERS' UNION MEETS
rifth Annunl Convention of tlic Ilc-
Anitoolntlon lleKl" " It"
1'roKrnm AVork.
In the multitude of conventions ami con
gresses which have been held or
scheduled for Omaha during the
progress of the exposition Tlio lit
tle but energetic honey bee has not
been forgotten , and Its devotees are as
sembled In this city at the prcseut time
The organization Is known as the United ,
States Heo Keepers' union. Whllo the pres
ent Is said to bo the twenty-ninth nnnual
session , It Is but the fifth meeting of the
reorganized association. A new name and a
new constitution were adopted at Lincoln
flv e years ago.
The session opened at the Commercial
club yesterday morning and the attendance Is
as good as expected for the first day , with In
dications pointing to a much larger attend
ance before the hour of final adjournment Is
reached. The president of the union , George
W , York of Chicago , editor of the American
Bee Journal , Is presiding , and the secre
tary , Dr. A. D. Mason of Toledo , O. , Is
also present.
After the usual opening routine business ,
a paper was read by the secretary which
had been prepared by 0. O. Poppleton of
Stuart , Fla. , on "Honey Product In Our
New West Indian Possessions. " The writer
has spent two years In Cuba , and says { Do
Island Is equal to California as a bee coun
try , and In some respects superior. He cites
the export and Import duties which have
prevailed In the past , with the uncertain
condition of the government In Cuba , os rea
sons which have operated against the growth
of bee culture there , and predicts that un
der the new conditions which will soon pre
vail the business will bo a prosperous and
profitable one.
The discussion which foUowcd this paper
drifted finally Into the relative merits of
vvcet clover and alfalfa as sources of honey ,
n which there were many positive dlffcr-
nces of opinion. That there might bo some
iractlcal tests , It was decided that samples
f the various honeys should bo brought to
ho meeting and the Apiary building at the
xposltlon will be drawn upon for some of
ts surplus stock.
Only ono paper was read In the afternoon ,
s the others assigned to the program had
not been forwarded to the- meeting , and the
authors had not yoB arrived In the city.
'his ono paper was on "Organization Among
Dee Keepers , " by W. r. Marks of Chapln-
dlle , N. Y. It advocated the necessity of a
loser union among the bee keepers , not
> nry for the boneflt of Improved methods In
managing the business , but for the business
tself.
It was not desired tto get in advance of
ho program , and the remainder of the aft-
rnoon was taken up In asking and answer-
ng quest'ons , the principal topic being the
alue of honey as a food product. E Whlt-
: omb of Friend , Neb. , said the people did
not know there was more nutriment In a
lound of honey than In two pounds of pork ,
and more wholesome medicine than a drug-
; lst could sell for 50 cents. Dr. Miller of
lllnois said the members of the association
were not all acquainted with the value ot
heir product In this line , and advised that
they post themselves and then taflt It to
heir customers. Ho said pure honey was
healthy , and Its use as a diet would Inure to
the health of the customer. Others of the
lelcgates spoke along the same line.
Th question of manufactured comb honor
was also discussed at length , and It was
given out as a fact that such an article was
mposslble. Charges had been made that
jccause , owing to Improved methods of
landllng bees , honey Is prepared In cases of
neat and regular form , that It has been
manufactured , but ! this Is denied , and some
members declared one lacked Intelligence
vho believed that manufactured comb honey
is possible.
There are few side entertainments planned
for the bee keepers during their stay In the
city. The business program takes all the time
ip tlir Thursday evening , and the remainder
of the week will bo spent at the exposition.
From among the visitors present some ono
will bo chosen by Superintendent Whltcomb
of the Apiary building to net as ono of the
ludges of the honey exhibit , and the pre
miums will bo awarded this week.
Further papers wcro rend at the evening
session , followed by suggestions from dlfltr-
ent members regarding their experience
along certain lines. The paper by Prof.
0
o Bruner of the University of Nebraska was
postponed owing to his detention In Lin
coln. An Interesting account of "Recent
Piogress In Agriculture" was given by E ,
R. Root , n large bee keeper of Medina , 0 ,
Mr. Root described first the Improvements
In sections , the receptacles for the honey ,
which have been the subject of constant ex-
n perlmcnt. Ho spoke also of new methods
In foundations nnd exhibited samples qf the
thin substance with a basis of beeswax

An llfHtriilnt on HiirlMTH.
The ordinance which was Intended to pu
an end to the swindling perpetrated by cer
tain barbers of the city upon strangers ap
pears to have been effectually killed and tU
council , tacitly at least , endorses the high
vvaymcn methods by which the swindler
are holding up strangers with extortlonati
prices. This Is the action taken at the las
committee of the whole meeting of the ell ;
fathers In spite of the fact that the swtn
dllng still continues.
Certain of the councllracn give It out Hat
footed that they will not vote for the ordl
nance unless the minimum as well as th
maximum price that can bo charged fa
tonsorlal work Is Incorporated In the ordl
nance. They hold that barbers have a righ
to charge as much as they please for thel
work , although City Attorney Connell point
out that that Is a question to be decided b
the courts and not by city counclrmen. H
Dr states , however , that no court will hold tha
a barber cannot charge as little as be please
for his work. Inasmuch as the objectln
councllmen still Insist In their support ei
the swindling barbers'unless their amend
ment Is patted , the ordinance has been or
dercd placed on file. _

AHemliinee nt Schoolx ,
Yesterday's attendance at the public
schools was a little better than on the open
ing dnj- , but the threatening weather kept
many awajf. The maximum attendance Is
not looked for until next week , when It Is
expected that the new school rooms will be

ready there will bo more or less confusion
In handling the pupils , but with the addi

thought that there will bo no dlllloulty In
taking care of all of the children who pre
sent themselves for enrollment this fall.

Hopeful Words to Childless Women.
The elnrlccst elays of husband mid wife are when they come to look forward
to a childless and deholnto old nge.
Jinny a wife has found herself incapable of
motherhooel owing to some great lack of
strength in the organs of generation. Such a
condition is nearly always duo to long con
tinued neglcet of the plainest warnings.
Frequent backache and distressing pains
accompanied by offensive discharges
and generally by irregular and scanty
menstruation , indicate a nerve de
generation of the womb anel sur-
rotindingorgans.thatunlcssspecdily
checked will result in barrenness.

DEAUMRS.I'INMIAM : Noonecould
'havo ' suffered from female- troubles
moro than I. I had tumors on the
womb , my ovaries were diseased ,
and for fifteen years I was a burden
to myself. I was operated upon
three different times , with only
temporary relief ; alko tried
many de > ctors. Lyelia LPink -
ham's Vegetable Compound
was recommended to me by a
lady friend , and after taking
four bottles I was like a new wo
man. I had been married nine
years , and had no children. I now
have a beautiful little girl , and wo
feel assured hhe is the result of my taking the
Compound. MAY It. WILSON , 323 Sassafras
