The magnificent decorations of the banquet
room wcro all In the brightest tints. At In
tervals down the length of the long tables
low mounds ot ferns , studded with roses and
orchids , were Interspersed with tall jardi
nieres and giant vases , heaped high with
palms or pink carnations. Everywhere abova
wcro the colors of Old Glory , In festoont ,
garlands and separate Items ot Inspiration.
On the walls wcro numberless mottoes or
praise and tribute to the soldiers who sat bo-
ncath them.
At the extreme end ot the hall above the
toastmcnter and other guests of honor huge
portraits of Major Taylor , Colonel Stotsen-
burg and Admiral , Dewey depended. In
niches and bay windows In walls beneath
them stacked guns draped with tiny nags
lent a military touch to the scene. Every-
where the blaze of color was superb. It had
to be taken as an Impression , for to study
detail was to mar effect.
Into tlio Ilniif'iict Hull.
It woo long after 9 o'clock when Thomas
Kllpatrlck made the announcement from the
stairs to the guests assembled In the rotund *
of the hostelry that the doors of the banquet
room were opened. To find seats was the
task of but a minute. j
The tables were arranged In two rectangles ,
open at the lower ends. At the upper enJ
along the cross tnbleo , gorgeous In Us beauty
of light and ffOwers , were seated the speakers
of the occasion. In the center of the group
was the chaplain of the regiment and toast- j
master for the evening , Itev. S. Wright' '
Duller. On his right sat Senator . M. .
Thurston , D. B. Baum , Hon. J. C. Cowln , >
Edward Iloaewatcr and Rome Miller. On the
loft were Thomas Kllpatrlck , Hon. John N. ]
Baldwin , Mayor F. E. Jloores , Hon. G. W.
Wattles , Captain C. M. Richards and John :
Cudahy. Almost hidden by a bower of palms '
and potted plants a string orchestra played
during the dinner. I
President Thomas Kllpatrlck opened the' '
speech-making part of the program by read I
ing letters and telegrams of regret from Gov
ernor Crounso , Governor Poynter , General C.
F. Mandereon , J. Sterling Morton , W. J.
Bryan , G. M. Hitchcock and General P. H.
Barry. Ho then Introduced Dr. Butler as the
toastmaster.
Dr. Butler made some opening remarks. In
which he reminded the o present that they
were yoterans of many banquets , where they
bad suffered together. Ho referred to the
matchless record of Company L and de
clared that Its achievements rivalled any ot
those mentioned In history. |
, Hon. G. W. Wattles responded to the toast ,
"Welcome to Our Homo , Company L. " He
said that sixteen months ago the company
had been sent away amid the ringing of bells
and the playing of muelc a goodby given
with an enthusiasm that was not felt by the
aching hearts. Ho told ot the sad months
during the war when the papers were
scanned for news trom the front with fear
and trembling lest the names of loved ones
might bo found In tbo death lists. But the
name ' of Nebraska had been Immortalized by
lie'r heroes who were now home again. "The
annals of history furnish no parallel to the
bravery ot Company L. Hevho places his
life In Jeopardy for his country's honor
makes the greatest sacrifice that can be
made. " The speaker said that all credit
must be given to Colonel Stotaenburg tor the
soldierly ability of the regiment. He closed
by giving a hearty welcome to the company
on behalf of the business Interests ot the city
and reminded the soldier boys that the flag
was now an Inspiration leading to paths ot
purity and good citizenship.
SI a J or Taylor Hcapondn.
The response to the welcome was made
by Major Wallace Taylor , who made refer
ence to the applause that had greeted him
by saying ho was trembling In his boots
beoauee of such a volley from the men be
hind the guns. Ho had made no preparations
for a speech , and would now perform a
Philippine trick flra a few scattering shots
and then boat a hasty retreat. Major Taylor
declared that the name "soldier" surpassed
that of "tero. " No greater honor could
bo paid to a man than to say he was a true
American sold tor , and the greatest honor
Of all was to have been captain of Company
L. Ho hoped the time soon would come
when the government fronld have no need
tor soldiers except within our own domain ,
but the boys would quickly respond to any
call when the country needed thorn.
Governor Poyntor boine absent his place
on the program was filled by twenty mem
bers of Company L , who sang a Philippine
song In the native dialect. As an encore
they gave a love song and chorus , and a
medley of camp songs.
Captain C. M , Richards spoke on "Tho
Phillpplnoa. " He said the Islands looked
tmmll , as shown In the geographies , but
when you oamc to CUBS and discuss them
they grow larger. He professed Ignorance
as to the products and capabilities of the
Islands , saying that he bad served as a sol
dier , and not as a journalist , and reminded
bU bearers that a soldier was not supposed
to know anything.
Senator John M , Thurston was Introduced

the kidneys are out of order or diseased.
Kldnoy trouble has become so prevalent
that it Is not uncommon for a child to be
born afillctcd with weak kidneys. If the
child urnlates too often , if the urine scalds
the fiesh , or If , when the child reaches an
ago when it should be able to control tbo
passage , nnd It Is yet afllicted with bed-

dllllculty Is kidney trouble , and tbo first step

important organs. This unpleasant trouble
is due to a diseased condition ot tbo kidneys

marks by calling attention to the almont
prophetic words which had been uttered by
the senator at a former banquet ot the com
pany. In response Senator Thurston said
In part :
"In the presence of the deeds , you have
accomplished words are nothing. What wo
say will bo forgotten In an hour or a day ,
but what you have done will bo remembered
when our dust la scattered to the four
winds of heaven. Wo are glad to ecu you
back , bringing bock , aa you do , tbo na
tion's approval and the world's applause.
To have lived a long , purposeless life Is
nothing. To have lived a few glorious
hours Jn your country's cause Is sublime. "
In referring to "Our Foreign Policy , "
which wss the subject of his toast , Senator
Thurston said that all soldiers wore brave ,
but credit was given according to the
cause for which they fought , and the man
who aa&vtls the cause robs the soldiers of
tholr fame. He said that the policy ot the
government was not ono ot conquest , but
the tlmo had coma when all the old land
marks were swept away. The events ot
the future must be met as they come , and
the American flag , once planted , must never
bo taken down In the face of an enemy , aud
must not be brought back unless It oould
bo done with honor. Ho believed the : lag
meant moro to those who had sutferod tor
It , and for that reason the men of the
Flrat Nebraska WCTC entitled to all the
emoluments that the government or the
state had to bestow. "Washington made it
the flag of liberty ; Lincoln made It the
flag of freedom ; and you have made it the
flag of man's humanity to man. "
TonntH the Volunteer.
1 General John C. Cowln responded to the
toast , "Tho Volunteer Private Soldier. " Ho
said that the Nebraska soldiers In the Philip
pines were as brave as the volunteers In the
civil war. They had also been made to feel
the fire of the copperheads In the rear. The
soldiers ot the war of 1861-65 had been called
cut-throats and Lincoln hirelings ; the volun
teers ot 1899 had been called anything but
soldiers by the agitators at homo. He said
that the deeds done in the Philippines never
would bo forgotten. The Inflexible desire of
the nation was that the flag which the volun
teers planted there never should bo dragged
down.
B. A. O'Connell. a member of the com
pany , recited a humorous story of the way
Spaghetti and Antonio played the great
American came of base ball.which was re
ceived with shouts ot laughter.
Hon. J , N. Baldwin ot Iowa spoke In re
sponse to the toast , "Company L , First Ne
braska Volunteers ; They Fought for Hu
manity Blrst , Freedom Second , Liberty
Third and the Stars and Stripes Forever. "
Ho paid an eloquent tribute to the bravery
of the Nebraska soldiers. Touching briefly
on the policy of the government , he said that
the exigencies of the hour might demand
the extension of our territory , the extent
of the expansion resting alone with God. Ho
declared that liberty was the maker of
precedents nnd authorities.
Dr. Butler closed the program with a farewell -
well address to the Thurston Rifles , after
which the banqueters stood and sang the
national anthem nnd one verso of "Auld

Angelo Rose , an Italian who has been
held hero on a charge of embezzlement ,
I gained his liberty tor a few minutes Thursday -
, day afternoon upon habeas corpus proceedings -

was apprehended several days ago upon re
quest of Sheriff ( McConnell of Cuyahoga
county , Ohio , who Informed the officers here
j ' that Rose was wanted at Cleveland for em-
bezzloment.
Rose obtained attorneys and habeas corpus
proceedings were begun at once. Messrs.
Maguey and Thompson contended that the
charge that Rose "was a fugitive from the
district court ot Cuyahoga county , Ohio ,
for embezzlement , " was insufficient to hold
him , as it did not specifically name the
crime , the date nor the place.
Rose was released at 2 o'clock , but Im
mediately rearrested. Magney aud Thomp-
fson then began habeas corpus proceedings
again. A telegram from Sheriff McConnell
was received In the aftcrnaon , stating that
ho would b In Omaha to take the prisoner

Four men who were riding wheels with

and brought to the police station. They
all pleaded Ignorance of the ordinance com
pelling the use of lamps and were released
to come later for trial. The police are
having a good deal ot trouble with women
who violate the ordinance and have decided
that hereafter they will take the wheels
away from the women and take them to the
station. Two women were found riding
wheels without lamps recently and an offi
cer undertook to bring them to the station ,
but they would not come and sat down on
the curb and refused to budge an Inch.
The officer allowed them to go , but under
the new plan the women will not escape

SOME GOOD RUNNING RACES
Fast Honti Amiua the Visitors at the Expo-
eltion Thursday.
RAIN MAKES ATTENDANCE RATHER LIGHT
Mile Novelty Hncc n Drnivlnic Card
Cover Unlit Over the ( iriind Stand
Shower nf Ilalii Stops the
Indian Hncc.
Thursday at the exposition seemed rather
dull after the hurrah nnd excitement ot
Flret Nebraska day. The attendance was
rather light , made so , especially In the
evening , by the threatening weather. The
concerts were fairly well attended. The
races In the afternoon attracted a good
crowd to the nice course and the fact that
a cover had been built over n portion of
the grandstand added much to the comfort
of those who wanted to see the horse rac
ing.
ing.Tho
The program included four running events ,
with some Indian races Interpcrscd , but tliu
sight ot clouds and the little sprinkle ot
rain that came up just as race time came
around , sent the redskins under cover , and
there were no Indian races.
The mile novelty was the most interest
ing event. H stirred the people up to
Intense excitement and for once there was
_ some real horse racing. Patsy Dolan show-
i ed up first at the first quarter and at the
, half , but he began to fall back then , and
Lucy White came forward In fine shape ,
taking the three-quarters in the lead with
Robinson a good second. The latter horse
came In on the last quarter In fine shape ,
showing good powers of endurance. There
was a purse of $100 , of which Patsy Dolan
took $50 nnd the winner of the other two
quarters $25 each. Tlmo 1:47. : At the first
quarter Humming Bird stumbled and her
rider was almost thrown over her head.
Four horses got a pretty start In the
five-eighths of a mile dash and the race
was ono 01 mo cieanosi 01 luu unuruuuu.
Cap Hardy , who was entered , was scratched
because of lameness. At the start Myrtle
took the lead and forged ahead nt a great
rate. She kept the pace until within a
short distance of the wire , when Tarrenett
took a sudden start and came In ahead ,
much to the surprise of everyone , and es
pecially Myrtle's rider , who thought he had
the race won and was holding his mount
back. Cap Hall came In third nnd North
Rose took the last place. Time , 1:04 : % .
Joe Faustls took first place In both heats
of the half-mile dash , Spolaskn second and
Little Girl third. The first heat was run
In : B1H and the second In :51 : fiat. The
raoo for two-year-olds was carried oft by
Margaret Davenport. Dandy Jim had the
second place , Signal was third and Mary D
followed the procession. The distance waa
seven-sixteenths of a mile. .Time :47 : % .
The trac kwas In fine condition and every
one who has seen It speaks highly of it.
Now that the cover has been put over the
grandstand larger crowds are looked for ,
as makes a more comfortable place. The
races for Saturday will be especially at
tractive , one being the Greater America
Derby.
SCENES ALONG THE MIDWAY.
The Jinny Extra Attraction * Hrlngx
I Out Imrce CroivdM.
! The Midway has been having lively times
the lost two days and the concessionaires
' are wearing smiles that are large or small ,
i according to their receipts. The Philippine
1 Village people are much encouraged and feel
now since the return of the First Nebraska
i that success is assured , most of the Fili-
] plnos In the village were on the fighting
ilne with the boys at Manila , and the hearty
handshakes when they would meet was ono
of the features of the day. The Cyclorama
did a splendid business and the famous old
| battleground at Missionary Ridge was fought
1 over many a time by the blue and the gray
' as they view this magnificent painting. This
will probably be replaced later In the sea
son by the attack on San Juan hill , and
those who wish to see this one should dose
so at the first opportunity.
The Midway visitors are just beginning
to appreciate the Beckwlth aquarium , where
Cora. Be kwlth , the champion lady swimmer
of the world , gives hourly exhibitions of
fancy and trick swimming. She comes to
Omaha with a record ot being the only
woman that ever swam the English chan
nel , and after seeing her performances In
the water ono can easily see that what
would be Impossible for some would bo easy
for her. A great many have supposed the
Moorish palace was the some as it was last
year. This is a mistake , as everything Is
new and of a much more desirable character
than before , while the passion play , as given
on the firat floor , la one of the grandest and
most Interesting movlne pictures ever ex
hibited , and is creating a great deal of
favorable comment.
Thnmdny Evening's Concert.
On account of the threatening weather
the Bellstedt concert band gave Its evening
concert In the Auditorium to an audience
which only about half filled the building.
Every number received vigorous applause ,
nnd the original program of eight numbers
was lengthened to sixteen before the auditors
were satisfied. In the selection from
"Faust , " the fine work of the tubas and
bassoons was apparent. As an encore
"Bamboula" was given , in which piece Mr.
Alt Doucot had an opportunity to show
his ability as an oboe soloist , which ho
did In a very satisfactory manner.
It is not every cornctlstwho can render
a song In such a manner as to make it a
satisfactory solo. It Is much moro diffi
cult than most persons Imagine. Mr. Bell-
stedt selected "Alice , Where Art Thou ? "
for his solo , and as encores gave "Sweet
Bunch of Daisies" and "The Low-Back
Car. "
In Handel's "Largo" the beautiful balance
of the band was made apparent , the music
resembling nothing so much as half a dozen
pipe organa played In unison. Mr. Bollatedt
gave one of his own compositions , "Our
Picayune , " aa the encoro. Some exceed
ingly dainty work by the oboes , bassoons
and flutes shows that ability of the leader
as a composer.
The overture , "Misnon , " was followed by
the over popular "Minuet Antique , " by
Padorewskl , nnd the final number was n
march by Mr. II. L. F. Eckermann , a local
musician.
Hnnld It I ili > I'iMviirdN ,
Victor Hnyra , a messenger at the Adminis
tration Arch , took a rapid ride skyward
Thursday afternoon. He was going up In
the elevator and when ho was about half way
to the office floor the car became unmanage
able and went to the supporting beam with
such speed as to jar the whole arch. The lad
skinned his bands badly In trying to stop the
elevator In Its mad plunge upward , but
otherwise did not sustain any injury. Too
much water had been turned on In the ap
paratus below. The elevator was lafd up for
repairs for awhile.
FTd tin- Finny Trllio.
One of the novel sights not down on the
official program Thursday was a luncheon
given to the fishes In the Lagoon. A wheelbarrow -
, barrow full of stale buna was thrown into
the water and they no sooner touched the
I top than they were dragged under by In
numerable fishes , who fought and tugged for
them like mad. The Lagoon seemed to be
alive with the finny swimmers and It waa
but a short time before the load of buns was
all torn to pieces and gone.

HE LACKS TOO MANY VOTES
Plan to Endorse Albyn Prank at the
Seventh Ward Cliih Flnslies
In the Tan.
Fully 100 members of the Seventh Ward
Republican club attended the regular meet
ing last night In the expectation that the
friends of Albyn Frank would make an effort
to Gccure an endorsement by the club of his
candidacy for re-election as clerk of the dis
trict court. No such action was taken , how
ever , nnd the club settled the proposition ef
fectively by deciding not to meet again until
after the primaries.
Frank was presenl at the meeting nnd so
were his campaign managers , Jim Wlnspcar
and Johnny McDonald , who came down from
the Sixth ward to help boost the endorse
ment scheme. Wlnspear did not come Into
the hall , but ho stood nt the door to button
hole the members as they approached nnd
tabulate the result. Evidently the count did
not result satlefactorlly , for , after a short
whispered consultation , the Idea of making
Frank's candidacy an issue in the club was
abandoned , nnd the resolution that had been
prepared for Introduction still remains In
Wlnspear's insldo pocket. According to an
admission of ono of Frank's friends they
could count on only seventeen votes In his
favor In the entire crowd and they Imme
diately decided that this was not Frank's
night.
In the absence of the promised contest the
meeting was of a very ordinary character.
G. W. Wright of the Eighth ward epoke
briefly nnd John McDonald accepted the floor
long enough to declare that he is not a can
didate for any office , as the party has already
treated him moat liberally. Clement Chase
was called on , and gracefully announced that
If the situation appeared to be favorable he
would ask for the nomination for one of the
regents of the State university. Ho sug
gested that political parties are apt to at
tach too little Importance to this office.
Candidates should be nominated who have
the interests of the university thoroughly at
heart and the nomination should not be
thrown out at random In the hurry of the
closing hours of a convention.
Some of Albyn Frank's friends In the rear
of the hall called hlm'outc but Frank merely
stated that ho Is a candidate for re-election
and sat down. Then B. F. Thomas was
called for and ho was heartily applauded as
ho made a short but vigorous speech. He de
clared that this should bo a great year for
republicanism. Prosperity is with tie in
earnest , said he , and our brave boys have
won glory enough on land and sea to last for
a generation. He asserted that the repub
licans of Nebraska should uvlto to send
President McKlnley a message of loyalty and
confidence on election day by winning a com
plete victory. Ho concluded by elating that
he is a candidate for county Judge , but as
there are other candidates in the ward he did
not consider It proper to nsk for a special
endorsement by the club.
A. E. Baldwin announced his candidacy for
re-election as justice of the peace , and A. H.
; Burnett closed the
proceedings
1 by a stirring
appeal in behalf of republican effort during
the campaign. He said that campaign
speechee ought not to bo necessary this year
in a state In which the percentage of Il
literacy Is smaller than In any other state in
the union.
Three years ago men were lookIng -
Ing for jobs. Now the Jobs are looking for
men. This should be a sufficient argument to
convince the voters that tholr hope of pros
perity lies in placing the republican party in
power.
COLLECTION CHANGES HANDS
Friction netvreen Department * of the
Exposition Management .Settled
l y Readjustment of Duties.
The concessions and auditing departments
ot the exposition have had a little friction
of late over the collection of percentages
from tlio concessionaires , which has re
sulted In the transfer of that business from
the hands of the auditor to those of the
head of the Department of Concessions.
Both these officials , however
, say they are
satisfied with the present status of affairs
nnd that the whole matter amounted to very
little.
According to some of the concessionaires
the collection of the money was placed In
the hands of Superintendent of Concessions
Burns because "some men are better collec
tors than others. " The concessionaires say
that Mr. Burns had kept trie business of Ills
department in excellent shape , by which
they moan that he had enforced the prompt
payment to the exposition of all sums owed
It by the concessionaires. They now pay
tholr percentages to Mr. Burns or a repre
sentative of his department , whereas they
did not do so formerly.
Mr , Burns said Thursday that there had
been no difficulty between his deportment
and ony other , although there bad been
ome changes made In the manner of trans
acting business. He could not remember
just when these had been made nor did he
eay anything as to their nature.
Auditor Streeter said that his plans for
the transaction of the business of bis office
had been adopted by the directors after
eome modifications had been mode , that he
was satisfied with the modifications and that
practically his methods were In uae. He did
not know of any differences between his de
partment and any other over the collection
, of percentages ,
j Trouble AnuuiK Plumber * .
The Injunction granted by Judge Baker
some time ago restraining the treasurer of
local union No. 18 of the United Plumbers'
association , from disbursing any of the
money in his hands was partially dissolved
Wednesday after arguments had been made
by Attorney Tuttle.
The Plumbers' association alleged In ita
prayer for an Injunction , that the charter

ARTHUR TUNICA TURNS DIAMOND THIEF
Son nf Once Prominent Architect Ar-
rcatcil nt Depot UN lie Wnn
About to Tiikc Trulii After

It was a small scar on the forehead ,
' caused by falling on a epool ol thread
| when a child , that led to a former Omaha
boy's 'detection ln < theft and arrt t tt the
depot Tuesday ns he was about lo leave the
city after a brief visit with Jricmls.
I The youne man's name is Arthur Tunica ,
' and many will remember that a few years
ago his father was a prominent architect
here. The theft of a diamond ring from
Brown & Borshclm , Jnwelers at 222
' South Sixteenth strest , ! the cause of
young Tunica's detention at the jail. But
It Is probable that his Imprisonment here
. will be the least ot his troubles , for in a
I dreaa suit case , ransacked by the police In
1 search of the stolen gem , waa found a
i lot of valuable jewelery with diamond settings -
. tings , which have been sx/len In other
cities.
Young Tunica's methods of pilfering the
stone reveal the experience of a master
hand. He called at the store early Monday
morning to famlllarlza himself with the
location of jewelry trajs. At that tlmo he
asked to be shown some stick plus. With
out making a purchase he leU.
At the lunch hour , when Mr. Borehelm of
the repair department , who seldom waits
on customers , was alone In the store.
Tunica entered again. This time ho do-
eired to look at some diamond rings and
was shown several trays of them. While
ho stood examining the atones Mr. Brown
returned from lunch and took his partner's
place as salesman. Then Tunica changed
from diamond rings to stick pins , and finally
purchased a email ono marked nt $3.
The theft of the diamond was not dis
covered until several hours after Tunica's
departure. It waa when Mr. Brown woo
placing the gems in the safe that be noticed
one was missing.

a umall scar.

during which Tunica Imparted the informa
tion he was about to leave for Dubuque ,
they separated , and Knrbach telephoned to
the police station that the diamond tbiot
could bo found at the Union Pacific depot.
Bergeanl Wisenberg made the arrest.
Tunica expressed surprise , but accompanied
the officer quietly to the station. Nothing
was found in the eatchol he carried , and as
the officers were deliberating Tunica thrust
n bit ot paper in his mouth and began to
try to swallow It.
The police forced him to disgorge the
paper , and It was found to bo a check for
a dress suit case. In the cose was the ring
and other diamonds valued at about $1,000 ,
A complaint alleging grand larceny was
filed by the owners of the ring , and Tunica's
measurements and photograph were taken
to be sent to the bureau of Identification at
