The drowning of Fred Mnyne at Lake
Manawa Wednesday has probably put out of
commtsiton the steamboat lately known as
tho "City of Omaha," but this year sailing
In the namelcns class. The accident brought
to light tho fact that for a year or more
tho steamboats at Lake Manama have been
operated regardless of tho navigation laws
of the United States or of the state of Iowa
nnd that men were In charge ot the boat
on tho day of tho accident who could not
tiavo been employed had the laws been ob
served. It was stated at the time the boat went
aground on tho sandbar In the lake that it
had been deliberately grounded by the pilot
to avoid d!a3tcr to the parsengers. vth3
upon that trip numbered nearly 200. tno
number permitted by the Iowa Inspector at
the time tho boat was examined two years
ngo. It was stated at the lake yesterday
that tha City of Omaha was known to bs
unseoworthy at tho time It waa put out
Wednesday and this fact ie borne out by
the statement of S. W. Whonn. the man
ho acted at fireman on that trip. In speak
Ing of the trip, Whonn said:
"Tho boat was In charge of I". O. Graham
of Omaha who, I bollevc, Is the owner or
manager. He wax acting as engineer and
I was acting as fireman, I had assisted In
making somo repairs upon the craft since It
was floated four weeks ugo from the place
It had been under water during the winter.
When I wan told that wo were to take on
passengers I told them thut I did not be
lieve that the boat was safe; not that 1 did
not believe it would (lost, but I feared that
Its machinery would break down.
I Pulley Slip from Slinft.
"Just what I feared happened. Wo had
Just paused the point of tho sandbar when
the pulley controlling the right paddle wuel
hltpped upon Its shaft and the pilot I'st
control of tho boat. In that high wind It
was Impossibles to return to land and tho
boat wcj shoved onto the bar. When the
toat put out from the 'oat house to get the
passengers not one of them were In danger.
Tho boat was not fast aground and when n
few of tho passengers left I fixed the wheel
temporarily and brought the boat back to
Its moorings with a number of the party on
board."
Tho history of tho boat, according to the
statement of ono of the employes of the
park named Snyder, Is a record of misfor
tune. It was built In 18S8 by Captain David
Chapman of Lake Manawa. "After a year's
trial," said Mr. Snyder, "Captain Chapman,
who was an old lower Mississippi boatman,
rame to tho conclusion that ho could not
control It and got rid ot it. Tho boat ought
to bo dismantled.
"Its namo when It was first built was the
r'M. F. Hohrer.' So many accidents hap
pened to. It that the owners thought they
would change the namo nnd one Sunday
morning while they were painting the new
namo on tho prow a representative of the
Iowa boat Inspector came down hero and
made them give It the old name again, as
tho stato does not permit n boat's name to
lie changed unless some material alteration
.'l(Is made ja Jt. TJjeiv.the. .owner put a- new
keel on the "boat and called' It the City of
Omaha, but that didn't change Its luck. Tne
craft Is hoodooed and ought to bo taken oft
tho lake. At the time It was run aground
U was In charge of O. C. Schwerln, a pilot
ivho came from Cut-Off lake."
Aunt Una 'o License.
J. C. Dlxby, tho boat Inspector ot the
itate ot Iowa, stationed at Council B.utls,
made the following statement in regard to
the boat and conditions at Lake Manawa:
"I knew tho 'City of Omaha," onco the
'M. F. Hohrer," and one time I niado them
change Its name back to what It was bo
fore. I regularly Inspected It up to a year
go, when the management of the lake de
cided that It would run Its own business
regardless of the state law and refused to
let me make the examination. The manage
ment claimed that It was operating Its
boats In Interstate water, as the western
bank of the lake Is, according to somo
authorities, in Nebraska. I brought the
niHttor before n grand Jury that year, but
that body refused to Indict, on the ground
that Manawa la an Interstate lake. Since
then I have paid no attention to the matter
and the boat was neither Inspected nor li
censed this year. 0. C. Schwerln, the pilot,
Is no longer a licensed pilot In the stito of
Iowa. Ills license expired last year, but
lias been Ineffective since 1S9S, as It was
registered the last time In 1S97."
As the boat lies at Its moorings In the
lake It prccnts anything but a seaworthy
appearance. It Is fast aground In a toil
or two ot water. Its paddle wheels resting
In the mud. In the hold Is two feet nr
more ot water, which has cume In th ough
tha bottom tlnco the boat has returned
from the bar. Thero Is no certificate ot
registration, either of boat, pilot or en
gineer, upon the craft and the man In
charge says that ho has seen none,
Speaking of tho boat yesterday Manager
Cole of Lake Manawa park saldr "You can
nay that Mr. Heod will not permit the tolt
to be used on the lako again this tea'on.
"Wo aro exceedingly Borry that tho acctdeit
should have occurred nt the lake and are
doing all wo can to relieve the widowed
mother. We have tendered her the gto s
receipts ot a day ot the park and for this
occasion will charge an admission foe at

To the Voice of Omaha People,
If you will but listen to your friends and
neighbors, they will tell you how the pali.8
and aches of a rack, the annoyance of ur n-
ry troubles, the nervousness the restless
ness which come from kidney Ills can be
relieved and cured. Read what ouo Omaha
citizen says:
Mrs. H. I), Dodendorf. Pll N. 23th street,
says: "Rheumatism In the shoulders so that
my left arm was almost helpless, so that I
could not raise It to my head, swelling of
the feet and ankles so pronounced that the
skin was drawn tight and shiny so thut I

toms rolnted directly to disordered kidneys.
While Tliltlng In my old home, Wllkcsbarre,

Kidney Pills and stated that It was a remedy

Thirty-four ballots taken at the special
meeting of the Heard ot Education did not
lestilt In the election of a secretary to suc
ceed J. M. Olllan. The proceedings were a
repetition ot the Monday night meeting,
when the board came to a df-adlock, seven
votes being cast for each Mr. Olllan and
J. K. Burgess. J. J. Smith, the new member
ot the board elected Monday night, did not
lake his Beat until the end of the thirty
fctirth ballot, lie then voted with the Bur
gels forces to adjourn until Saturday even
ing at 8 o'clock for the purpose of settling
the contest for the secretaryship.
The Burtfess men stayed with their candi
date through most 'of the ballots, In spite of
the attempts made to attract votes to a
dark horse. Mr. Qlllan's supporters showed
moro Inclination to go to a third candidate.
but at no time during the evening was there
any chance for a third man to land n ma
jority of the votes. 0. W. Holbrook, W. 0
L're, H, C. Jordan, Beecher Illgby and W.
W. Illugham received scattering votes. On
the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth bal
lets Mr, Dlngham had threo votes, which
wcro drawn from the Olllan supporters, but
on the eighteenth ballot the votes dropped
back Into lino with two leading candidates
and It was clear that thero was no chance
to break the deadlock.
Although J. J. Smith, the now member,
has declared that he would not voto In tbo
secretaryship contest, the fact that he voted
with the Durgess forces on tho question of
postponing the election until Saturday night
Is significant. The members who voted, for
tho adjournment were: Barnard, Hayward,

I AMUSEMENTS.
"The Unknown"
This play, which will bo prtaented at
Boyd's by the- Redmond Stock company dur
ing tho remainder of the week, promises to
bo the most popular of any yet given In
Omaha under the Redmond management.
full house greeted It last night and the
audience frankly attested Its appreciation
As a play, however, but little can be said for
"The Unknown." It la tho mellowest of
melodramas, abounding In candidly forced
and delightfully Impossible situations, con
talbing nothing new, but displaying some
fairly clever combinations ot old ideas. Al
belt, tho piece was presented with more dash
than any of Its predeieasors, there was
happy absence of the "drag" so appreciable
heretofore nnd the players seemed better
suited to (heir parts.
Tho motif ot tho play is cupidity, with a
subdued undercurrent of love. Of the two
principal scenes, ono Is a marine effect on
board the "Qray Eagle," a noble ship of
pure Greek architecture, whero Sidney Oor
don, heir to a rich (Mate, Is struck on th
head 'by conspirators and cast overboard
He appears In subsequent nets as a lunatic
The other Is a decidedly eerie situation, In
which the heroine, drugged and consigned
to a tomb by the same c naplrat rs. Is res
cued from the villain by the lunatu. dragge
from the se-pulcher and, her cerements flap
ping in the wind of a gathering storm, I
borne triumphantly across a tottering bridge
to safety.
The vaudeville features aro diversified and
well up to the standard maintained from
the first.

Quite an Interesting feature In The Bee's
annual vacation contest Is the strugglo go
lug on Just now In south Nebraska, where
tho two" leaders, who sprung to the t6p In
the Wednesday list, have by similar sky
rocket tnctlcs been relegated to the lower
state supplnntcd by the former leaders,
Misses Holmes ot Auburn and Schmlnke of
Nebraska City.
Among the Ohaha celestials a similar
game of turnabout seems to bo going on be
tween Misses May Albee and Kate Kern,
the last to enter the hallowed region being
Miss Albee.
The Omaha girl Is Just at present doing
her heaviest voting In her sleeve, but In
uorth Nebraska the votes are piling up In
manner threatening Omaha girls a hard
hase If they expect to capture the next
ring. Miss Mohl ot West Point is again
coming to the front, having amosl doubled
her score since the last count and closely
following Miss Schram of Columbus, who
made a great advance In the Wednesday list.
So far the lead In Iowa has been entirely be
tween two contestants, but It will be no
tlced quite a number of newcomers are
swelling their vote and will soon make the
tight a less onesided affair, as has been
done in south Nebraska.

day, and, as an Indlrt-ct result of that throb.
blng bicuspid hhe is now m Jail charged
with breaking the law In two place. It
Is remarkable, the train of circumstances
set In motion by that neurotic pang. It
caused her to do things that are consonant
with nothing In reason, thing for which
there Is no precedent and no logical ex
planatlon. For flvo hours on the nation's
holiday that maxillary twinge was a sort of
flgitrathe May pcie. about which danced a
half score policemen, detectives, hotel em
ployes, pawnbrokers, newspaper men and
various others but not a dentist among
them
This Is the way Hulda Hlldebrand it
about ridding herself of an ulcerated tooth.
First She stolo a watch belonging to
Mollte Jacobs, her roommate. I
Second She pawned It for L
hotel that her (Hulda's) watch had been
tolen and also that of her sister (Miss
Jacobs).
Fourth She called up the police s atlon
by 'phone and said that watches belonging
o two "ladles" had been stolen.
Fifth Sho accused the elevator boy o!
stealing both watches.
Sixth She borrowed n knife, cl mbed i
through a wlndcw into tho elevator boy's.
room and cut open his grip In a pretend. d
search for the missing chronometers.
Here ends her activity, and hero b.'glns
the activity of tte others. Detectives were
detailed to work up the case. An evening
newspaper came out with a ttatomont thn.
two "lady" guests of the Murray hotel tad
been robbed of valuablo gold watches. Nat
Brown, proprietor of tho Murray, clcssly
questioned all his employe!.
Meanwhllo Detectives Drumray an 1
Mitchell had found the watch In a pawn
shop, and from the broker obtained a de
scription of his customer. It corrcsprnded
perfectly with that of Hulda Hlldcb.anl.
She was arrested, and In tho sweattox
admitted alt tho foregoing facts aud
considerably besides; she admitted thit she
had concealed her own watch, that MolLe
Jacobs was not her sister, and that she had
two weeks' wages coming to her. to she
didn't need to steal the watch In order to
pay a dentist's bill.
Complaints were- nlcd by Mollle Jacob',
charging larceny, and by the elevator boy.
charging her with hrsaklng Into his room.
Meanwhile Miss Hlldcbrand still has the
toothache.
VOUCHERS CANNOT BE MAILED

Vouchers for the 12,267 claims, the al
lowance of which exhausted tho Vulon Pa
cific hospital fund, havo for tho nicst part
bsen mailed by Frank Brown, local tnas
urer of the Union Pacific, who is also act
ing as treasurer of the hospital fund. A
number of vouchers, however, are stl'l n
the offlce of tho receivers and cannot to
mailed owing to lnsutllclent addr.ss?'.
Muny of those already sent out have bf-'n
returned with nctatloas from the pos m stor
that the parties addressed have moved out
left no forwarding orders. Since the clilxs
wt-re filed, all of them moro than two yean
ago, a surprisingly large numoer of claim
ants have died and their heirs, in order to
procure tho money allowed In the distribu
tion of the fund, will have to prove their
right to the possession of tho money.
In many Instances the sums are so small
that this trouble will probably not he taken
by the heirs, but In the aggregate thy
amount will be no inconsequential one. Th
vouchers for all claims allowed and un
called for, owing to the death or unknown
whereabouts of claimants, will finally b.'

HANNIBAL. Mo., July 5. Tho sp:clal
train carrying Governor Thesdo'o Roosevo't
home from the Rough Rider reunion arrived
at Hannibal early today. The car contain
ing the governor and his party was loft on
a siding some distance from the city until
after breakfast.
Governor Hooaevelt was greeted by a
largo crowd nnd close attention was given
to his brief address. At 8 o'clock the gov
ernor's train left Hannibal and soon nf-er
crossed the Mississippi river into Illinois.
Governor Roosevelt's speech was In part as
follows:
"I wish I could have spoken here on the
Fourth ot July, but 1 shall say what I would
have said had It been yesterday. It Is a
great thine for a nation to have great
memories behind It. We have seen during
recent years marvelous material prosperity
tn this country, and, of course, material
prosperity must bo one of the foundation
stones upon which we build. But we must
have more than that If tho nation Is to rise
to what it should be and will be. We of
this generation have not only tho memories
ot the great men of the revolution, but
memories of the men of the civil war and
their devotion to duty. And we do not for
get the rasn of tho younger generation who
fought so well In the war with Srjnln. That
was not a great war, because It did not
havo to be.
"I always wished that on the Fourth of
July, besides reading the Declaration ot
Independence, we would read at least the
preamble to the constitution. We must have
Justice as the cornerstone of the templo or
our liberty will degenerate Into license and
then Into anarchy."
QUINCV, 111.. July 3. Governor Rcoievelt
arrived In Qulncy nt 0:10 today and was as
corded a magnificent ovation. The gov
ernor and party wero at once driven to the
hotel, where a public reception was held
giving hundreds of citizens of Qulncy nn op
portunity to grasp tho governor's hand.
An elabrrate procession through the prlncl
pal streets followed, after which the gov
crnor wns conveyed to the public square,
where he delivered nn address to an en
thustnstlc audience of COOO. Among tho3e
who occupied seats on the platform with hi. 11
ero United States Senator Shelby M. Cul
lom and Congressman Marsh ot Illinois.
The governor's train left for Chicago at
noon.
The Immense crowd which Governor
Roosevelt faced frcm a stand in the square
gave him tremendous applause througnout
his speech, which lasted three-quarters ot
an hour. The portions of It touching on
political questions were particularly well
recalved. He said In part:
".Men of the great days cf 1S61 and 1S6.
the right of the line In the pre'Hcstl il
contest this year Is held by your old com
rade of the civil war, Major McKlnley.
(Great applause.) And my duty Is to fol
low and aid and support him In every way,
and I shall do it with all my heart. I
came here to address you today while ad
dresses are also being made in Kansas Cltv;
but I have one advantage 01c them I k ow
what I believe. Just at present the are
busy trying to find out what they be'leve.
I believe in sound money and the gel 1
standard. Tho Kansas City party Is halting
between two burdens. It does not know
whether to declare outright for fne rilver
or say something that will enab it to
wink at both sides and say It Is a ll'te
for both and not too much fir el her.
(Laughter.) Read what they have raid and
then try to find out what In heaven's namo
they believe. Again, I am for expansion
every time. I do not want to see this flag
come down wnere 11 nas nen -p'ac a
where our men fought and shed their bio d
for It. Now, at Kansas City they aro going
to try and say they are enough for ex
pansion not to hurt the fcellng-i of those
who believe In the flag, and jet that thev
are not so much for It as to tread on the
toes of the people who would like to fee
us follow tne magninceni example ot ine
Chinese empire. Do you realize thit while
n this country yesterday we were ce'e-
bratlng Independence day our fellow rltl-
zens and the citizens of every other Euro
pean power were either lying dead in the
streets of Pekln or crouched behind the
legation walls, keeping at bay the hordes
around them? Tho blood of our people
runs like water In the streets of Pekln
The blood ot our people would have run
llko water in the streets of Manila If our'
political foes had had their way. China
Is offering us a good object les'on, for
China does not expand, and what tho B jcn
have done In China would havo bsen den
by the followers of Agulnaldo If It had not
been for the firmness and wisdom of Presi
dent McKlnley and those who have stood
by him in the last two years. It Is net
true that happy Ib that nation which has
no history. Thrice happy Is a grest na
tion that has the memory of mighty men
and mighty deods behind It. From '61 to
65 our fathers faced a crisis Infinitely
greater than any since and woe to us, their
sons. If we shrink from doing the lea er
deeds that have come to us."
At the conclusion of his address Governor
Roosevelt shook hands with as many pe p'e
as could reach him. The train left for Chi
cago at noon.
Governor Roosevelt will stop nt canton,
O., to visit the president tomorrow on h's
way back to New York, in accordance with
an Invitation Just received. He will go to
Cleveland tonight from Chi ago and ex ec s
to see Senator Hanna before departing fcr

tracks. One reason why so few people wero
at the station to greet tho governor was
the record-breaking time made by the Bur
lington road, bringing the special train into
Chicago forty minutes ahead of the sched
uled time. Governor Roosevelt went nt onco
to the Chicago Athletic club, where he
rested until 9 o'clock, when ho boarded tho
Lake Shore train enroute to Cleveland, He
Is expected to confer with Senator Hanna
tomorrow morning and to icach Canton
some time In the afternoon, whither ho Is
Invited by special Invitation of the presi
dent. The covernor today made many speeches
and always to enthusiastic audiences. The
run was from Qulncy, on the banks of tho
Mississippi, to Chicago on Lake Michigan,
through the fertile corn belt of Illinois, the
portion ot the state long known ns the old
"military tract." Speeches, some long and
some short, were delivered nt Qulncy, Camp
Point, Augusta, Plymouth, Macomb, Bush
nell, Avon, Abingdon, Galcsburg, Galva,
Kewance, Princeton, Mcndota nnd Aurora.
Toward the latter nd of the trip the gov
ernor's voice failed him and the stops after
that were less frequent. At three points
the train sped through nt lightning speed
regardless of the presence of crowds and
brass bands prepared for a demonstration.
The people at these places had to be satis
fled with a bow and a wave ot the governor's
hand ns the special swept past them.
Some of Colonel Roosevelt's speeches today
had reference to questions ot politics, but
In general they were of a patriotic char
acter, serving as an aftermath of Indepen
dence day. Apparently the most endearing
term which his admirers can apply to the
governor Is "Teddy."
"Hurrah for Teddy" and "McKlnley and
Teddy" has been the prevailing sentiment
of the crowd all along the Hue.
During Governor Roosevelt's spe-ch
Kewanea this aftirnoon a violent rains. orm
came up, drenching the governor and bii
audience, but heedless ot the fa, ling to
rents tho famous Rough RUer continued
his address, even refusing an umbrella, and
the Immense crowd stayed with him to the
last word. When he came back to his car
hl clothing was dripping. He said in part:
"Your looks belle you If you are not falrlv
prosperous. It Is a gcod rule to It' w II
enough nlone. We have had three years
f great prosperity. Now, understand,
do not claim that prosperity csmes from
laws: It was In our own right arms aud
clear heads that carried out your work anl

you a chance. And the law can ruin It

there can be laws so evil that even the
