WWWVrtPW Charles Robinson of the Twelfth Infantry was at army headquartcrn here Wednesday nnd says ho has a kick coming. He saya the United States government owes him for pay as a soldier In the regular army from July 28 to November 20. Robinson saw active service nil through the Cuban cam paign , Including the fights at San Juan nnd El Cancy nnd the siege of Santiago. His three years of service ended on July 28 and ho left Cuba then for New York. There seems to have been some official misunder standing about his departure for which ho was not responsible. He reported to the assistant adjutant general In New York on his arrival there , twelve days from Cuba , and found no complaint against him. Later when he went to re-cnllst Lieutenant F. J. Morrow , commanding Company D , Sev enteenth Infantry , told him that the charge of being a deserter was alleged against him and that ho would have to clear his record of thli charge before being allowed to rc- cnllst. "That's a pretty tough thing , " said Robinson , "for a soldier that has served his tlnui and gone through a hard campaign. " Ho expects to get the difficulty straightened out today , as he has his discharge papers dated July 2S , 1S98 , and will then go to Fort Crook for rc-enllstment. He Is known hero and acted as eblet cook for General Brooke when the latter was commanding this department of the army. John C. Hlgby of Kansas City Is In town to spend Thanksgiving with his brothers , Ira Hlgby , clerk at the Murray , and Bcecher Hlgby , city clerk. John C. Hlgby was with Buffalo Bill for three years and with the Wild West show traveled all over the United States. His particular turn was to drive the six horses that were attached to the stage coach. Twice a day during all of three years ho was killed and scalped by the Indians who attacked the stage. Barney Gurnsey of Le Beau , S. D. , Is at one of the hotels. Speaking of the rise and fall of towns In the state where ho resides , he said : "Fifteen years ago Lo Beau gave promise of being a metropolis on the upper Missouri. At that time It had stores , shops , saloons , dance houses and theaters running In full blast. Two railroads had been sur veyed In and we had laid our plans to have both roads locate their shops there. W had a mayor , city council and half a dozen uniformed policemen. To make a long story abort , neither of the railroads ever came. The town dwindled away until now , when all that wo have Is a little store , a black smith shop , a postofflco and a half a dozen families. There Is nothing to Indicate that the town will ever be any larger. It grow up during the days of townsltc booms and went down almost aa rapidly as It was built up. " H. G. Mllwarth of Austin , Tex. , Is In the city. Ho left homo before the winter struck the south. He Is of the opinion that the re cent storm caused much suffering down In that section of the country. Regarding stock , he Is of the opinion that on the ranges there must have been some heavy losses. Pernniinl PnrnKrnphn. M. Rohr Is at the Ml Hard. William Barker of New York Is at the Mlllard. J.

PROBING FORJHE BULLET Further Development * In the Shoot ing Scrape nt Laiit Tuesday MKltt. Another bit of circumstantial evidence which materially lessens the doubt that It was Charles Costanzo who shot Pedro Man- cuso during the quarrel over a card game Tuesday night was ( brought to light fast evening by the physicians attending Man- cuso. Yesterday Dr. Ralph decided that his patient , Pedro Maucuso , was strong enough to warrant him trying to locate the bullet , embedded somewhere In the lad's flesh. Accordingly he probed the wound , tracing the course of the bullet through a portion of the lung nnd finding It lodged beneath the shoulder blade. When extracted It proved to be the read from a 38-callber cartridge. This Is the caliber of the re volver supposed to belong to Charles Cos- tan/.o. The night the tragedy occurred the police searched Costanzo's house and , hidden away behind an unused market basket , high upon a ehclf , they found a 38-callber revolver. There were four unexpjoded shells In the " cylinder and an empty "shelf In the remainIng - Ing chamber. There was an odor of burnt powder about the weapon that is found only In flreamis recently discharged and the po lice accepted these facts as sufficient evi dence that Charles Cojtanzo did the shoot- Ing. The finding of the bullet was another link In the chain of circumstantial evidence by which it Is expected to prove that Man- cuso was shot by Charles Costanzo. The Inquest over the death of Philip Cos- tanzo , the man who was stabbed to death In this same fray , wilt be held this after noon at 2 o'clock. AMUSEMENTS. . . . That old , well known and ever popular play of Hoyt's known as "A Parlor Match , " which was imado famous years ago by Charles Evans and the late William Hoey , was presenled at Boyd's theater Thursday matinee and evening. Of course Evans Is not playing I Mc- Corker and Bill Hocy Is not doing Old Hoas , but Mark Sullivan has certainly filled Hoey's shoes and when the fact Is taken Into consideration that the play was originally written for Hoey and the part changed and built around him during the years that ho appeared in It , Sullivan's In terpretation of It Is well nigh perfect nnd ho causes Just as < many nnd as hearty laughs as Hoey did. After the latter's death and when Sullivan assumed the role of Old Hess , Mrs. Hoey pro nted the en tire wardrobe 'worn by her husband In the part to him. He wears th ; clothes at each performance and they are highly treasured by him. Philip Ryloy seems also to please the people ns much In the I. McCorkcr part ns Evans did. James T. Galloway , who has played the part of Cap tain William Kldd for the past eleven years , leaves nothing to be desired. The winsome Edith Hoyt Is the Innocent Kid and while she Is suffering from a severe cold which visibly affects her singing she proved herself possessed of cxceptloml grace and won hearty applause. The Olym pian quartet contributed some espe cially fine songs and an excellent military act. Miss Elolse Mortimer contributed a couple of good songs. She possesses a voice of rare purity and POWM- The other mem bers deserving especial mention were Tom Brown's whistling , Walter Ware's slng'n ' ? and Mark Williams' "I Want To Be a Sol dier" song. The play continues during tha balance of the week , with a matinee Sat urday. DANCING THE HOURS AWAY Numerous Omahans Spend Thanksgiving in Tcrpslchorean Pleaaurcs.

" Those taking part were : Mr. A. Mandelberg In the charac ter of Lester Walllck Brown , Miss Dolllo Polack Impersonating Mrs. Lester Brown , and Mr. Sol Goldstroin aa Cupid , a servant. About forty couples danced at the bop. Thanksgiving night was celebrated by the National Reserve association with a grand ball at Patterson hall.

The Thanksgiving assembly at Chambers' academy In Crelghton hall was participated In by a large number of the younger so ciety people , who made the best of a select program. While the dance was largely In formal , It was pronounced one of the most enjoyable of the season , aa was emphati cally attested by the encores and demand for extras In addition to the sixteen num bers on the program. Among the colored society people , the Thanksgiving dance given at Morand's halt will rank as the s-woll event of the season. The arrangements , In charge of H. J. Bu- ford and R. Workcuff , Included everythlnR necessary to provide for the enjoyment of the guests. About 100 couples were In at tendance , many handsomely dressed , making a decidedly lively and attractive scena SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. W. B. Skinner , general manager of the Fort Worth stock yards , writes to The Bee that the dipping vats at that point have been greatly enlarged since the sanitary board recommended to the government that dipped cattle be admitted to northern mar kets at any time of the year. Manager Skinner says that on Friday last a bunch of 822 head was dipped and on the day follow ing a bunch of 570 went through the bath. These steers were large , averaging 1,175 pounds. "We have now had experience , " Mr. Skinner writes , "In handling all classes of cattle through the vat and since the cold weather the dipping has gone on very suc cessfully. The states of Texas , Illinois nnd Missouri have decreed for a closed season of dipping , while Kansas will admit after December 1 to January 1 without dipping. " Dipping Is now going on at the National stock yards , East St. Louis , and It Is ad mitted by all who have witnessed the op eration that the dipping kills the ticks which cause southern fever. The experi ments at St. Louis have not , however , been as satisfactory as Fort Worth. Out of one bunch of thirty-five ateera dipped seventeen died from the effects of the 1m- imerslon. The St. Louis people are confident of success and express the opinion that when defects in mixing the Ingredients and applying the mixture are remedied the prob lem will have been solved. In dipping at the Fort Worth yards a kind of mineral oil , the so-called "paraf fin" oil , which Is a distillation product from crude petroleum obtained at the re fineries after the gasoline and kerosene have been distilled over. Is i ed. While the tick- destroying effects of the oils hitherto tried were mainly duo to. their mechanical action In completely coating the ticks , thereby depriving thorn of air , It was found that this paraffin oil hod not alone a mechan ical effect but also a decided chemical action on the parasites. After passing the cattle through the paraffin oil dip It was observed that many of the ticks dropped to the ground and died in a few hours. A number of those remaining on the cattle showed violent contractions , changed In color and In the course of a few hours shriveled up Into a hard , brittle substance. Some few of the ticks remaining on the cattle lived from two to three days , but eventually largo and small as well as moulting ticks , became discolored , shriveled and fell to the ground. The effects of this oil on the cattle bos been less severe than those observed In the experiments with other oils. The government quarantine rules are now In abeyance until January 15 and If the officers of the Department of Agriculture are satisfied that dipping effectually kills the ticks It Is possible that orders may be Issued admitting dipped cattle to north ern markets at any season of the year. IlnlillnR TlmnkiiKlvlnfc Service * . Unon Thankrglvlng services were held at the Baptist church , Twenty-flfth and II streets , yesterday forenoon. Rev. II. H. Mlllard , pastor of the First Methodist Epis copal church , preached the sermon , which was upon a topic suitable to the occasion. The banks and city office * were closed air day and most of the busness houses closed at noon. At the packing houses work went on aa usual , although an effort was made to allow the men a portion of the day off. In the construction department at Armour'o a large force of men worked untl ! noon and on some of the new buildings about the city work went on all day. Business went through -with a rush at the stock yards and by noon most of the commlsslonmen and stock yards employee left for home to enjoy the afternoon with their famines and friends. The prisoners at the city Jail fared a lit tle better than usual , as Chief Carroll had ordered a turkey dinner for all of the in- j mates. This dinner was served at noon and I those confined In the dreary prison were I given all they could cat. Plenty of hot coffee was furnished to wash the turkey and other good things down with. Aliont ntllclnl llnuil * . J , n. Smiley of the charter revision com mittee favors the Idea of having every city officer Rive a bond In a surety or fldenty company. This suggestion will bo made to the revision committee nt the ccrslon toil ft y. Mr. Smiley thinks that every person In the employ of the city should give n surety bond , as well as all of the elective officers. In the case of the city treasurer the bond would have to bo paid for by the city unless the salary of this official was raised as a surety bond for $75,000 wouM oat up almort nil the salary attached to the office. By giving n surety bond the officials would not bo under obligations to their friends nnd in the cnso of policemen It Is thought that they would bo less liable lo make mistakes than under the present system. MrMnlion Cctn I'mlnc. Ex-Police Officer James Sheahnn has been advised that his old friend McMahon , formerly captain of poHco here , Is now a second lieutenant In Company L , Sixteenth Pennsylvania volunteer Infantry.

Several negro soldiers , ono with a Spring field , which had Just been fired , were ar rested In various parts of the city and locked up , though It was with difficulty that the Infuriated white soldiers and citizens were prevented from wreaking summary ven geance upon them. Armories of the two local military companies were broken Into and every gun and cartridge appropriated. Firing has been heard at Intervals In vari ous parts of the city. A negro soldier was dangerously beaten up by some whlto sol diers on Tenth street this afternoon and this Incident is supposed to bavo caused the riotous actions on the part of the negroes , who are said to have slipped out of the camp through the guard lines.

The volatile , passionate and fickle "Car men , " with her dances , her songs and her amoura entertained a largo audlenco at Boyd's yesterday afternoon , the occasion be ing the Thanksgiving niatlnei by the De- Vero International Grand Opera company. Mmo. Kronold Impersonated the title role of that romance of Merlmee's which has been In favor for the lost twenty-three years In lyric version. The scenes being Spanish , take better now than some months ago ; In fact It was not a bad Idea to present this Spanish story on the day of our olllclnl national Thanksgiving , In view of the present peace negotiations at Paris , the opera having been first produced In that city. Mme. Kronold made an excellent "Carmen. " Her acting was full of snap and vigor. Her voice In the lower regis ters proved thoroughly proportionate to the vocal requirements of the part , but In the upper tones there 13 n tendency to Im prison a voice of beauty , which would be highly agreeable If liberated. Miss Ncdda Morlsson emphasized the fa vorable Impression that she created In "Pagllaccl. " Her voice Is true , clear and flexible. Her articulation attracts atten tion at once. Mr. Mitchell ns Don Jose was an Inter esting kaleidoscope of musical action. This young man has much talent for the stage and hts voice Is well produced and suf ficiently warm.

The chorus sang wJth lota of dash and vim , showing the results of earnest re hearsal. Seldom has a chorus appeared on local stages which entered so enthusiastic ally Into the action of the work In hand. The orchestra was somewhat unsteady nt times , but Slgnor Saplo controlled the per formance well as a whole. Miss Mary Ho wo and Miss Amelia Fields did splendid Justice to comparatively small parts , as did also Mr. Gunson and Mr. 7.anl. Mr. Earl Parks displayed a good voice and Mr. Hardy Day was a success in his minor role. "Faust , " the masterpiece of Charles Gounod , held the boards at night , with the sanw cast as that of last Sunday night , except that Slgnor Collcnz rcprcsnted "Faust , " Instead of Mr. Mitchell.
