the wrong side of the ledger. In fact , there
wcro scarcely any paid admissions , and this
lack of attendance has been charged up
Bgnlnst thu weather. Soroe of the ex
hibitors and some of the concessionaires
kicked , but the exposition officials , especially
those who arc In business , were In high
glee. While they realized that It was bad
for the exposition , so far ns the ono day
* as concerned , they realized that It was a
great feature later In the season As they
looked out over the little lakes and rivers
everywhere visible , and constantly growing
In sire ns the downpour continued , they
contemplated enormous crops of corn , fat

A'mong the many Interesting collections
In the Government building there are none
that attract more attention than those per
taining to the civil war Of these undoubt
edly those that mark the beginning and the
close of the struggle are the most Interest
ing. *
Wbllo the civil war was not officially de
clared upon that date , the first gun was
Jlrcd on April 12. 1861 at the hour of 4
o'clock In the morning , and was directed
toward Fort Sumtc- , which nt that time
nun occupied by Major Anderson of the
union forces. According to the data fur
nished by the records of the War museum
' In the Government 'building the gun the
firing of which precipitated the long and
bloody clash of arms was fired by Colonel
lEdward RufTin of the confederate forces of
Virginia , who subsequently , upon hearing
of the surrender of General Robert E. Lee
nt Appomattox , committed suicide by shoot
ing himself.
In notifying the War department of the
beginning of the attack upon Fort Sumtcr ,
which was soon followed by Its surrender ,
Major Anderson sent a telegram from
Charleston , S. C. , the original of which Is
in the collection In the museum. It is as
follows :
"CHARLESTON , S. C. , April 12. War
commenced in earnest. Firing briskly on
both sides. Made breach in Sumtcr. At
tempt tnko by force. Military restrictions
.on telegraph. ANDERSON. "
, The surrender of tha fort to the confed
erates followed two days later and the sub
sequent events are matters of history. In
Addition to the telegram and the instru
ment used In sending the message there
Is a small piece of the flag that floated over
the fort before It fell Into the hands of
the confederates.
Whllo the relics relating to the beginning
ot the war are Interesting , they are no
more so than those of the closing dajs ,
principal .vmong which Is a telegram from
Jylncoln to Grant and the table on which
the terms of surrender of the armies of
the south was arranged between Generals
Grant and Robert E. Leo. The telegram
follows :
"HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF UNITED
STATES , Cl ( " Point , April 7 , 11 a. m. , 186"
Lieut. Gen. L ' nt General Sheridan sa > s :
' 'If tbo thing Is pressed , I think that Lee
t ! -will surrender. ' Let the thing be pressed.
"A. LINCOLN. "
In lilncoln's telegram , which appears to
have been written l > y himself , ho underscores
the word "thing , " whore It occurs the second
end time In the message
To the pirty who reads the message sent
'by ' the president , It is quite evident that
V- the thing was pressed by General Grant ,
for General Lee surrendered two days later.
It has been frequently stated that the sur
render at Apporaattox occurred under nn
npple tree , but there Is some question about
it. though It Is evident that an apple tree
figured to some extent in tbo close of the
war. It figured to such an extent that the
roots of the Appomnttox trco have been
dug up nnd brought to Omaha , where they

ment building.
Considerable light Is thrown on the last
few days of the war by C. W. George , ono
of the assistants in charge of the War mu-
aoum. He was with General Sheridan at
Appomnttox at the tlmo of the surrender
of Uencrnli Loc. Speaking of the apple trco

noon of April 8 Shertriftn , to whose command
my regiment was attached , came over the
mountains and , looking down upon Appo
mnttox , we could * ce Lee's command , with
his headquarters on a little knoll. That
night we went down Into town and after n
little brush captured a freight train of
thirteen cars , all loaded with guns , ammu
nition and clothing The skirmishing con
tinued untH dusk , when the forces on both
sides went Into camp within plain eight of
each other. The next morning before day
light our Infantry moved In and the fight
ing was renewed and continued until about
noon.
"All of a sudden there was a cessation
ot hostilities nnd looking out over the field
I saw a lone horseman riding away from
Lee's headquarters nnd directly toward
Glister's command. The man was riding at
a rapid pace nnd was carrying a white flag
above his head , which t later learned was
n pillowslip attached to the ramrod ot his
gun. Reaching the union lines ho was es
corted to Grant's headquarters After re
maining thcro a short time he rode back
to the confederate lines and to Lee's head-
( juarters. Within ten minutes we knew
that the fighting was at an end and such
cheering you never heard. Slen throw down
their guns and shook hands with ono an
other , laughed and frolicked about like a
lot of schoolboys That night was a happy
one , not only with our DOJB , but with the
confederates , man > of whom came over Into
our camp and were treated right royally.
"This meeting between Grant nnd Leo
took place In the shade of the apple tree ,
hence the pretty song about 'Appomattox
r.nd the Famous Apple Tree. '
"The surrender , however , did not occur
untlf the following morning , when Leo and
the members of his staff called upon Grant ,
where the latter , sitting at the side ot the
marble-topped table now in the exhibit ,
dictated the terms nnd which wcro agreed
to and signed right there. After the sur
render Lee and the members of his staff
handed their sldcnrms over to Grant , who
returned them , nnd then the best of feelIng -
Ing seemed to prevail. The two great
leaders , who had been fighting each other
for months and months , became the best
"f friends and In an earnest manner dis
cussed the Immediate needs of the south
nnd Its people.
"When wo marched down on Appomattox
Leo is said to have had 30,000 men In his
command , but It Is doubtful if ho had more
than two-thirds of that number when the
terms of surrender were signed. During
the preceding night thousands of his men
came to our lines or went to their homes.
They knew that the war was nt an end
and were anxious to get back to their fam
ilies.
"Before leaving the field General Ord. a
member of Grant's staff , bought the marble-
topped table , paying the owner $30 In gold
for the same. He bent it \Vashlnston
and when ho went to Texas after the war
took It with him. Upon his death it was
bought by Sir. Gunther , who paid the mem
bers of the Ord family $1,000 for the relic. "

The exposition officials give It out of
ficially that they have located the Indians
and that they will bo placed upon the Bluff
tract. They say that now the > have signed
the contract for the lajlng of the sewers
and water mains and that a reconsideration
of their action Is one of the Impossibilities.
In locating the Indians It Is said that
there was a lot of dickering with the Slld-
way concessionaires. The west end fellows
wanted them In their neighborhood and so
did those on the east side. The Indications
are that the eastslders won out.
"While the Indians will have their camp on
the cast side they will have their races on
the track on the west side , and there they
will give the shim battles In the event
that there are nny.
I'oHtiioiieinoiit of Venetian Carnival.
Owing to the weather , it was necessary to
abandon the plans for an elaborate evening
concert at the exposition Friday night. Su
perintendent Uustln had a number of men
at work on the "Olympla" and everything
was In readiness , but the fates willed other
wise. Musical Director Kelly announces that
the carnival will be given next Friday night
and will consist of the best features of the
program planned for Friday night , with the
possible addition of a band of Philippine
musicians. The fireworks will bo used as
planned nnd all In all the concert wlir doubt
less bo bolter than It would have been for
the reason that there will be more tlmo for
in epa ration.

requesting the members to stop ever at the

For a tlmo jcstcrday afternoon there were
Indications of mutiny in the Indian camp
However , the executive committee rushed
Into the breach nnd peace prevails again.
12vnr since the Indians arrived from tholr

bullet through a window of my house , 2715
Poppleton avenue , was substantially correct
I refer to It merely to can attention to a
practice fraught with the greatest danger
to tbo public ; that Is , the placing of Ike-
aim s In tbo hands of small boys , The con
sequences to the children themselves are
surely disastrous , Inasmuch as It engenders
the cruel disposition shown in the rutbleFA
slaughter of small birds , white the dinger
to the public , through such weapons being
placed In the hands of children , need not
bo pointed out , The only subject of wonder
IB as to the mental equipment of tbo parents ,
especially when the ) defend such practices
nnd maintain their right to continue them ,
In this Instance the boy was an old offender ,
his name having been before the police quite

At the meeting of the Central Labor union
last night considerable time was devoted tea
a discussion ot the grievance presented by
the Musicians' union against the Oreatci
America Exposition Delegates from the
union aaked for the central body's endorse
ment ot a request that the exposition com
pany employ union musicians The com
pany , they contended , promised last spring
to employ only union men on the grounds.
The promise was kept In every respect ex
cepting the hiring of musicians , none of
the members of the musical organizations at
the grounds at present being union men
One of the delegates expressed the opin
ion that the company before Its reorganiza
tion had not used them fairly and that as
there are many musicians now out of work
employment might better be given them ,
where practicable , than to nonunion men
The matter was referred to the arbitration
committee with Instructions to co-operato
with the Musical union.
The waiters also had a grievance , a con
tention having arisen between them and the
organization of bartenders regarding the
question of which were privileged to servo
drinks In halls and gardens not properly
hotels or restaurants. The waiters claimed
that the bartenders have no right to serve
drinks unless they are sold over the bar
and that when they do It pievents the em
ployment of waiters The bartenders , on
the other hand , asserted they wcro unable
to obtain employment unless they would
officiate sometimes ns waiters. The con
tention was referred to a committee for
adjustment , with the understanding that the
waiters have Jurisdiction where drinks are
served away from a bar.
The retail clerks reported that only one
storekeeper was not complying with the
early closing regulations

A. A. Bastar of Chicago , official watch ex
aminer for the Chicago Great Western rail
way , was in the city yesterday visiting R.
V. Miskoeelty , Joseph Silk and other Omaha
friends. Jlr. Bastar was returning to his
home from Wahoo , where he had been called
owing to the suicide of his father. Anton
Bastar , the elder , who had been a resident
of Wahoo for seven years , and
who committed suicide last Mon
day by putting a bullst in his
temple. He was 70 years of age and was
a victim of melancholia caused by the total
paraljfls of his right side. He had often
threatened to take his own life , but llttlo
attention was paid to these remarks by the
members of his family. At the time of the
suicide Mr. Bastar was alone nt bis home.
He went Into the barn , grasped a revolver
In his left hand nnd fired four shots Into
the building , doubtless for the purpose ot
convincing himself that the weapon was
in good condition. The fl/tb bullet crashed
through his brain. The Bistar family has
been a prominent one In Saunders county
for the past twenty years and , the tragic
death of the senior member Is deeply re
gretted by many friends.

A very angry emploe of the city was
brought to the police station Friday night
under arrest on the charg of disorderly
conduct. He IB N. P. Wilson , foreman of
tne sticet repairing gang. The offense that
furnished grounds for his detention was the
destruction of the red glass gFobe of a
lantern hung on a barricade at Twenty-
third and Davenport streets to warn drivers
of nn Impassable crossing The arrest was
the result of an officer's failure to recognl/e
either Wilson or n companion with whom ho
was driving , George E. Mitchell , the street
Inspector. Mitchell and WlFson wcro driving
on Twenty-third street when the barrier nt
Davenport was seen Just ahead in the dark.
No light was visible. Wlfson alighted from
the vehicle to ascertain If the street oould
bo crossed nnd In climbing the barricade
knocked down the lamp which was tied to a
board. In falling the globe was broken nnd
when Wilson returned to the buggy the
ofllecr on the beat informed him that he
was under arrewt. Wilson attempted to ex
plain , but the patrolman was Inexorabfo nnd
he was compelled to go to the station. Wil
son was released on ball furnished by
Mitchell.

Mother's advice is worth more ttmn
the advice of imy other woman to the
daughter who Is perplexed by the prob
lems of phyiscnl licnltli ntid comfort.
There's no need therefore to " write to n
woman , " who is n stranger.
There nn > , however , be need for a
ffiMieian's advice to supplement the ad
vice of the mother. In Mich n cnsc the
offer of free consultation by letter , made
by Dr. Pierce , opens the w'ay to health ,
nnd nt the same time nvouls the un
pleasant questioning- * , the repulsive ex-
nnninlions nnd offensive local treatments
winch less experienced physicians often
insist on.
Any sick or ailing woman is invited to
write to Dr. 1'iercc , IlufTnlo , in the strict
est privacy. Each letter is held as n
sacred confidence and its answer Is sent
in a j > lnin cm elope , boiriug no printing
upon it.
Do not be misled by advertisements
'
offering "medical ndv'ice , " which ate
published by those who not being phy
sicians arc not qualified to gue such ad
vice. Any physician or doctor who has
n legal and profession il right to the title
will publicly claim that title. Those
who offer " "medical ndvice" nnd itivjte
jou to " write to u woman " do not claim
tint the woman is a doctor. The " medi
cal advice" of an unprofessional woman
is just as dangerous as the "medical
ndvice" of an "unprofessional man. In
more than thirty v ears Dr Pierce and big
staff of nearly a score of medical special
ists , h ive successfully treated over half n
million women. You can write without
fear as without fee to Dr. R. V. Pierce ,
