hind. " It was responded to by both Frank

England type of Thanksgiving dinner.
"Back In New England today , " ho said ,
"there has been a family celebration with
only one absent and that one Is very thankful
g
ful for the homo ho finds today In the
Young Men's Christian association. " G. G.
Walfacc spoke of an Ohio Thanksgiving

events of the civil war Incidental to that
occasion. He thought Thanksgiving day the
same everywhere , Inasmuch as It stands for

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.

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.

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.

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.

OUTBREAK IN ANNISTON
\enro Soldier * Stnrt nn Innnrrcctlon
and Fire fin the 'White * Wher
ever They Are Seen.
ANNISTON , Ala. , Nov. 24. Members of
the Third Alabama , the negro regiment ,
with murder In their 'hearts ' , caused the
greatest excitement tonight that this town
has over known. Shortly after dark Private
Gtldhort of Company B , Second Arkansas ,
v/hlle returning to camp from town , was
shot In the head by u. negro soldier , who
also stabbed htm In the back. Glldbart was
taken to the regimental ( hospital. A little
later a member of the Fourth Kentucky Is
represented to have been shot by negro sol-
dlors , who lay In a gully shooting at ths
white men who passed.
Firing was heard In Liberia , the negro
quarter of the city , which Is not far from
Walnut street , and a squad of the provost
guard went to Investigate. As It turned tbo
large crowd of negro soldiers without warn
ing opened fire upon the guard. The guard
returned tbo fire , but had few cartridges
and soon had to retreat. When reinforce
ments and ammunition were secured the
negroes had disappeared. In the engage
ment George Dodsou , Third Tennessee , was
shot In the arm and Private Graham , Third
Tennessee , In the stomach. Two members
of the provost guard are missing.
When news of the trouble became known
white soldiers , who were In the city ,
gathered around the provost guard head
quarters and begged for guns and ammuni
tion , but wcro refused. Citizens armed
themselves and repaired to the scene of the
battle. Mayor Hlght had the saloons closed.
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.
Later One negro soldier has Just been
brought In dead and another fatally Injured.

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.

local stages which entered so enthusiastic
ally Into the action of the work In hand.

times , but Slgnor Saplo controlled the per
formance well as a whole.
Miss Mary Ho wo and Miss Amelia Fields

Gounod , held the boards at night , with the
sanw cast as that of last Sunday night ,
except that Slgnor Collcnz rcprcsnted

that style nnd action which have made him
a favorite already.
