Ak-Snr-ncn's courtiers to the number of
310 paid their enthusiastic respects at the
hospitable court of King St. Ib Ilagus In
his royal citadel nt Fremont last night ami
tested to tlio utmost the capacities of tho
hugar bect knighthood for hospitable enter
tainment. Tho Ak-Sar-llcn deputation left
Omaha at f.15 p. m. over the Klkhorn In a
special train of seven coaches and a bag
gage ear. Along with tho merry party went
Klpllnger's Junior Military band, which
Acncrously donated Its services and turned
out In showy uniform with twotuy-thrco
performers, more, than fulfilling all due re
tirements In tho musical line. Tho re
tainers of Ak-Sar-Ilcn'H court turned out
In uniform and nvory member of tho party
woro a pink ribbon badge bearing the leg
end, "Ak-Sar-Hen-Omaha Orccts Knights
of St. Ecb rtngua, Fremont, August 15,
1300."
Just before tho train pulled out of tho
depot tho esprit du Join was notably In
tensified when one of Mota" delivery wagona
drove up to tho platform and deposited
upon a truck several dozen lrc-locked
amber flngons, which iptlckly found their
way to the baggage car.
The run to Fremont was made In an hour
and a quarter In the cool of tho evening,
with a lowering sky pronging tho rain
which came later, and which was oven
then Imparting refreshing vitality to tho
ntmospherc. Darkness had Just gathered
uhen tho beautiful city of Kremont was
reached. Tho entire populace had hut a
few momcntH beforo turned out In response
to a flro alarm, sounded because of an In
cipient blaze, after which all repaired to
the depot. Tho train ran Into cheering
hundreds of men, women anil children.
Tho cars wcro quickly emptied and tho
Omaha pleasure-seekers formed In march
ing order besldo tho train, with tho band
and the uniformed dignitaries of the court
In front and tho accompanying knighthood
In open order by fours.
Millie 'Kin He timid.
Ous rtenz, royal pyrotechnist, had provided
nn abundance of rod lire and Its radiance
was reflected In the thousands of happy and
hospitable, fac.es that hemmed tho line of
march. Continuous cheering marked tho
progress of tho parade through the pr'ncl
rial streets of the welcoming city to the den
of the St. Keb-Iliigus monarch, where a halt
vnt ordered. The lair of his majesty was
fixed In a capacious hall In the business ccn
tor. Into which the sojourners from the Ak
Bar-Den oasis were ushered In groups and
subjected to tho obligation, after which they
wcro duly, hilariously ami tumultuously In
ducted Into tho mysteries by the wise king
and his learned counsellors, livery Knight
of Ak-Sar-Hon attested his neighborly al
legiance to the royal host and his realm and
his hearty sympathy In the purposes of the
SL Keb-Hngus knighthood.
Tho diversity and novelty of the ritual
lntlc ceremonies and the promptness and
skill with which they were enneted In the
crowded quarters occasioned considerable
surprlso and admiration among the Omaha
knights, many of whom entertained n vivid
recollection of tho dllllcultlcs and annoy
ances that always attend the perfection of
such enterprises.
Tho higher degrees of occultism were con
ferred on but a few of the vIkIIois. Includ
ing Hugo rtrnnrlols, Arthur Metis, (ieorgo I.
Cronk, Mel Uhl, Thomas A. Fryo and one
or two other leading members of tho
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ilen. who manifested
their valor In many a thrilling situation,
but tho rainmaker got In his work on tho
lowly as well as the exalted, tho Just and
the unjust, as It were.
Uefore the full ritual had been exemplified,
although most of the novltates hnd explored
tho aerial regions good and plenty and had
manfully sustained many drastic physical
if'ts, It was found necessary to lay aside
further dispensations of wisdom to permit
an exchange of greetings before the knightly
adleux wero Imperative. King C'leland spoke
the wcleomo of tho people of l'rcmont and
said a few gracious words In appreciation of
Omaha, declaring that city as necessary to
tho growth and progress of Nebraska as Is
tho growth and progress of tho stnle neces
sary to Omaha He hoped tho time may
soon come when the SI. Kcb-Hngtts knight -hoed
will be as pretentious and useful nn
organization as Is that of Ak-Sar-Ilen, and
when Omaha, Fremont and numerous neigh
boring places will be all one big city known
as Orc.itcr Fremont.
U'rriiiiit'N Friendly Fretilin.
Ross Hammond, tho Journalistic sago of
Fremont, reinforced tho remarks of the
King, declaring that his recollectlona of
tho Indignities practiced upon him during
nn Initiation Into Ak-Snr-Iien led him to
apologize for tho lameness of tho Fremont
nrtlclo as entirely too mild for the offeimo.

Thomas A. Fryc said a few words as

In recognition of the courtesies extended
and Rev. Edward F. Trcfz stirred th
crowd with a speech on the community
of Interest between Nebraska towns, say
ing that Omaha Is bound to become the
metropolis of the Missouri valley and that
they will profit most who earliest realize
that fact. Ho knocks on the knocker
against his own state, he said, and asked
pardon for approaching politics In speak
ing of Kansas, paying a tribute to ex
Senator lngalls, who did so much to bring
fame to that stat", and Indulging a com

Kansas knockers.
A quartet of Fremont boys sang nn Im
promptu melody blending the names of
St. Eeb-nagus and Ak-Sar-Ilen. and re
freshments followed, nn abundance being
provided for all.
Shortly after 11 the train left for tho re
turn and Omaha was reached at 12:15 a. m.
It was with no uncertain expressions of
gratitude that tho excursionists found
street cars sidetracked for them upon

USED CHEMICALS TO PRESERVE MILK

Dl'llllTN,
Traffic in Impure milk sustained a stag
gering blow In police court Wednesday,
when four of the Ave milk venders accused
of adulterating their product were found
guilty nnd lined. The members of the fifth
linn against which complaint had been
made, comprising Henry and Herman Paul
son, Flfty-clghlh und Lincoln avenue, failed
to appear in court as required by their
bonds nnd a capias was Issued for them.
They will probably bo tried tcday.
Jesse C. Hoot, owner of a largo dairy farm
seNcn miles southwest of the city, pleaded
guilty to using formaldehyde in hts milk
to preserve its sweetness and was lined $25
rnd costs. Ho sells milk exclusively to
tho Waterloo creamery, Sixteenth and
Howard streets.
F. W. and L. J. Corliss, proprietors of
tna Waterloo creamery, were found guilty
ns charged and were assessed a collective
line of $13, They alleged that they used
none of tho preservative themselves and
that If formaldehyde was found in their
milk the latter must have been contamin
ated by tho Hoot product.
L. Johnson of Johnson tiros, was tried,
found guilty nnd lined 2u and costs.
Upon tho witness stand Chemist Carl
Dummer testified that formaldehyde Is very
injurious to the health, especially to the
health of Infants, nnd that it Is a product
of a rank poison known ns wood alcohol,
He conducted several tests In tho presenco
of tho court, disclosing the method by
which the presence of formaldehyde In milk
Is detected.
Dummer MiiUm Nome TeslN.
Knch of the threc-ouncn samples which
had been taken from the milk cans of tho
defendants July 21 was placed upon tho
dCfck. There were also In cvldenco certain
samples of pure milk and a bottle of liy
drodorle acid. Taking 11 samplo of tho
pure milk I'rof. Dummer dropped Into It
nbout n half tcaspoonful of tho acid. Thcro
wns no chango In tho color of tho milk.
Then, putting a few drops of formalde
hyde Into tho puro milk, he again added tho
acid and Instantly the lacteal changed to
bright purple.
This demonstrated the action of hydro
clorlc acid upon milk Impregnated with
formaldehyde.
The professor then dropped n small quan
tity of thu ncld Into each of the tlvo sam
ples of Impure milk und each of them
turned a vivid purple.
In the face of this chemical evidence tho
defendants wero found guilty.
City Prosecutor n. F. Thomns vigorously
conducted tho cases anil is satisfied that
all violators of the pure milk ordinance
will be convicted. "Impurity In any food
product Is to bo deplored," said he, "but
impurity In milk is especially despicable,
as thcro aro thousands of Infants nnd In
valids In the city whoso lives aro sustained
almost wholly by a milk diet. Tho stom
achs of all such aro peculiarly scnsltlvo
to impurities, so tho milkman virtually
holds their lives In his hands."

There will be several changes at the High
school next year, all of them being made
necessary by tho crowded condition of the
school. Tho most important of these will bo
tho lengthening of the school day from six
poriods to eight. With tho number of avail
ablo rooms In J lie High school building
classes must bo too large to do good work
when there arc but six periods. II y in
creasing tho number of periods to eight a
third moro recitations may be henrd during
tho day, nnd If necessary classes decreased
In size by one-third. When It Is staled that
last year some classes contained as high as
forty-eight pupils. It will bo readily seen
that a reduction in size of classes Is abso
lutely necessary If anything llko satisfac
tory results aro to bo attained.
School will begin, ns usual, nt 9 o'clock,
but Instead of closing nt 2 o'clock, ns here
tofore, It will contlnuo until about ft: 15,
This Increase in tho length -of the school
day does not mean necessarily that pupils
must remain at the school building longer
than heretofore. It Is now thought that ar
rangements can be so mado as to require
none to remain at school longer than six
periods. All boys taking drill will be ex
cused from claus work at 2 o'clock. Tho
classes of tho last two periods of tho day
will be composed largely of girls.
Tho arrangement of classes as above sug
gested may bring about n few changes In
drill. In tho past when the wenther wns
Inclement drill was given In tho hnlls of
tho echool building. This can not be done
for the coming year, for classes will be re
citing during tho drill period. In order to
get In as much drill as heretoforo more
frequent drills will havo to be taken dur
ing the fall and spring months and fewer
during the winter months. During tho full
three drills, probably, will bo required each
week, in the uprlng a miniclent number
weekly will bo required to make up tho de
flclency. The Onl, Itellnlilo ,.iii.)y for

Webster and Walkup held a meeting In a
storo building at Sixteenth and Pino streets
last night. As usual Webster played the big
horn and drew tho crowd, while Walkup
acted his usual part of pigtail and told again
his talo of woe. Fred llruning. president ot
tho Second Ward Republican club, presided
nnd nt tho start thro was a good crowd,
drawn out of curiosity to see and hear Web
ster. After the crowd had become Inter
ested In listening to republican doctrine na
expounded by Webster, he gave way to his
man Friday, who started in on his usual
harranguc cn the Omaha police force. He
virtually repeated his story of alleged
wrongs as detailed at the Sixth ward meet
ing last Saturday night, only he switched
names in ouo Instance In order to make his
sldo of tho caso stronger. After Walkup
had tnlked for about ten minutes the crowd
commenced to leave, but "this fact did not
phaze the patriotic attorney from "tho First
ward, for ho kept right on tnlklng nnd
working his arms as If he had to say Just so
much In order to earn his money.
President urunlng saw that tho few who
remained did not relish the dish Walkup
was setting up nnd so ho interrupted tho
speaker to say that tho club had mot to
listen to republican doctrine and not to a
talo of personnl grievances unfolded by n
police court lawyer.
Walkup wns a little staggered nt tho
audacity of President llruning. but managed
to maintain his composure long enough to
nseert that tho only thing that would satisfy
him was a board of flro and pollco commis
sioners elected by tho people. He closed his
llttlo story by advocating that tho repub
licans get together and sco to It that a leg
islature was elected that would voto for
John L. Web9ter for United States senator
nnd fo.- an elective pollco commission.
Dr. M. O. Hlcketts followod with a state
ment of his troubles, but ho didn't tnlk
long, ns tho few who remntned to hear
Wnlkup's closing remarks commenced mov
ing toward tho door. On the outside one
visitor called to n friend:
"HIM, wait a minute nnd listen to what
this guy has to say."
It was evident that Hill hail had enough,
as he replied:
"I don't mind listening to n man who has
somo sense, but I havo 110 timo to waste on
such fellows as Rlckctts."
In tho few minutes that Hlcketts spoke he
told how tho pollco had harassed his "Tem
ple ot Friendship" club, which, ho asserted,
wns a purely charltablo organization and
Mr. Wnlkup hnd the membership book to
prove his statement.
After paying fiis compliments to Captain

forco Hlcketts subsided and the meeting adjourned.

The ronsulnr manifest of the largest single
shipment of goods from a foreign country
direct to the port of Omaha was received
yesterday at the customs house. Tho
consignment consists of seven carloads ot
tea from Yokohama nnd Hlogo, Japan, con
signed to a local company. Tho duty on this
shipment Is $1$, CPS. 10, tho largest amount
ever assessed at tho port of Omaha.
This shipment Is the first direct evidence
at the Omaha custom house of tho change
which has taken plnoo In the last two years
In tho Importing business of this country.
For several years Omaha houses havo Im
ported tea from Asia nud tho surrounding
Islands, but the quantity has Increased ft 0111
year to year until all records have been
broken. Tho trade of the United Slates
with Astatic countries has In the last year
Increased beyond tho expectations of the
most sanguine. A report recently issued by
tho Treasury department Bhowing tho
growth of the foreign trade of tho country
places tho rato of Increase in tho value ot
the exports to Asia at 31 per cent over 1801)
and nt 22!i per cent over IS'JO. The exports
to Occanlca over 1S99 havo Increased 40 per
cent over 1899 and 162 per cent over 1S90.
During this time the Increase In exports to
Europe has been but 10 per cent ovor lust
year and B0 per cent over 1890.
Theso figure show tho revolution which
has taken place In tho business of tho Amer
ican importer. Sau Francisco, Seattle nnd
