For s HAPPY DAY FOR CHILDREN I'ojiandGlrliofthe Strwti Tk. an Out ing at Priis Lake. GUESTS OF MISS MAGEE, MISSIONARY Iln.r Hull, Foot llnrrn, llontlnn, with ftlf Luncheon lor ft CHmn, Are Feature' of l)ny it I III Nut nre. While all the rest of Omaha enjoyed a quiet holiday on account of memorial exer cises, at ltust 100 children bad a whele day of unalloyed happiness from early morning until dark, In blissful disregard of dead herofH nnd everything else rave their own supreme delight. Thtse were the girls and boys, street urchins, newsboys and bootblacks, ranging In ago from 5 to IB years, that make up the Sunday achcol on.l Industrial classes at tho Tenth Street City Mission. They were taken for a picnic to Pries lake. For weeks the children had lived In anti cipation of this pl-n'.c, tho only require ments being incmbeishlp In ths mission classes nnd nt least five weeks' regular at tendance at Sunday school, und a nco M si Magce, In charge of the million, fixed Me morial day ns tho dale, there had been n full attendance and some Increase In tho claraes. Wednenhy aftcrncon tho ical preparation began, when, attracted by the arrival of the liberal contributions to the luncheon donated by friends,, a swarm of boys gathered about tho mlsjlon nnd wns set to work rolling lemons preparatory to the squeezing, their dUcusslon n they worked proving plainly to what extent they had anticipated the morrow's pleasure nnd In many cases utter unfnmillarity witn such excursions. Determined that nono should be dliap pointed, Miss Magce had ascertained Iho necessity of each child and provided lor tt and la'.o In the afternoon many of tho children called at the mission and wore fitted out In tho necessary clothing but for which many would hae been unable to attend. They Come Early. Though 7:30 o'clock was the time an nounced for tho start, 6:30 found n goad proportion of tho young picnickers gathered nt tho mission, nnd as 6ns by ono the teachers arrived tbo entire party dnshid up Tenth street to meet them and Inqulrs when tho wagon was coming. .Seldom If ever has a moro pictur.squj or Interesting group been gutherol in Omaha, tho gaudy, shoddy finery of somo ccntfnstlng strikingly with tbo motley ap parel of others. Thoro were gorg ous toaj colored satins und dcllcato blue silks, with whlto slippers and stockings, and muslins, Klnghum3 and ctKcoes of every color act! ahado; tomo with no shots or stockings nt nil; small toys In lnrge trousers ncd largo boys In small coats, but nlf wir Joyous nnd tho large majority wns clean. Among the boys tho prospective ball game wan tho chief theme of conversation, while tho girls Inspected one another's "best dres&" and speculated na to whether they would bo allowed to assist In the "dishing" and "tasslng" of the lunch packed In the boxes. Uy 7:15 o'clrck eviry chl'.d was icaly iud waiting nono too patiently for tho wagons, and In the interval the tsatheta were diligent to prevent disorder between tool.' charges and the band or ragged, dlr.y urchins that gathered on the ou skirts of tho crowd, shouting tantalizing thlugs in their effort to conceal their envy and ap pear Indifferent to the Indisputable advant ngo of belonging to the ml.slon. Mcrnntlile for Wnnnim. At this Juncture one of the wagons hove In sight around the corner of Tenth striet and Capitol avenue and away went the children, falling over one another In their eagerness to secure a plscj, and by the tlmo it was backed up to the curb there waun't room for another boy, ev?n cn the wtop at the back. Tha appearance cf ill 3 second wagon averted the trouble that would have occurred nnd rent tha bunci tearing down Tenth street to meet It ar.il 'the scramble which followed lesultcd dis astrously to more than one of tho girl's dreijcs. In this way the distribution cf the children adjusted 1 s;!f nnd when the third carryall arrived tho small children were loadod Into It, bhoutlng tilumphantly ai tha baskets and boxei ot provtslcn wcro loaded In after tbem. Mlna Mwgee took charge ot the boys, the other teachers (ound places In tho other wagons and when all was finally ready the party started off shouting, laughing, scream ing nnd singing. Up Capitol aveuuo and out Sixteenth street they went, still singing; out tho Boulevard and up to Thirtieth street, nnd by that tlmo the novelty of riding had somewhat worn off for the boys nnd they scampered ahead, taking turai hanging to the other wagons, pulling one another oft and rolling or sprawling head long In tho deep dust, raiding every rose bush enroute, regardless of the 'protests of tho teachers, until at last TtIcs' Ihke was reached. llegardlcss of the tollmaater nt the gate up the road they ran, shouting nnd scream ing, straight for the lake, and by the time the teachers camo up tha boats, which wcro drawn up on the shore,, were tilled and a doron boys and girls had got their feet wet and tbelr clothing splashed with water, rtojn I'lny Bull. It was fully a halt hour before they could bo driven away from the dam, but when they wero convinced that thero would be' no boat-riding until after dinner the girls scattered among the trees and tbo boys lo cated a clearing nnd proceeded with tne. long-nntlclpated ball gnme. The "oung Omahns." tho pride of tho mission, were especially proud of themselves In their bright sweaters lettered "Y. O." across the breast, aud, plttylng their unorganized ami ununlformcd opponents, they magnani mously divided their strength, playing half In hnlf with tho "Colored Kld." Tho gnme was begun promisingly, but had uot proceeded far when n dispute nroso nnd nil broke up. The npproach of the dinner hour brought the entire party back to tho tables, where preparation for tho lunch was In progress, and tho attention of tho teachers was occu pied In keeping the hungry urchins from taking tho oranges and bananas that were hidden under a table. If wns not until the children had been sorted according to slzs and arranged In groups that the pnper plates were passed, each with nn ornngo and banana, sandwiches, pickles, cake, cook les and pie, aud as. each was handed out Us recipient grabbed It and ran up tho hill to the Ahado of the" trees. The boyB wero helped llrst, but long beforo all of tho Rlrlt bad received their plates the urchins were back, everyone asking for moro pie nnd many earnestly assuring tho teachers, In spite of their bulging pockota, that they had been overlooked when tho oranges had been passed. flame and llncten When tho luncheon was over tho games were begun, Miss -Magce having provided for egK. aack nnd threo-leggcd races, races for boys and girls over and under 12 years, a tug ot wnr nnd another ball gnme, with prlicA for nil of tho winners, nnd every ono waB enjoyed to tho utmost. Tho races were run down In thn road, aud at the drop of tho bat off they new, bare legs, white slip pcrs, pink satin dresses and nil, unmindful ot the dust or the sun. All the long aft ernoon they romped and chased through the woods until nnco moro they wero ,llnci up nnd each was given a dish of ice cream. Another hour and It was tlmo ,to start for homo and though some difficulty bad been anticipated In rounding them all up, by G o'clock all wcro too tired to play longer and wcro ready fcr the start. Even the. boys wero contented to ride all ot the way and at 7:30 o'clock the party was set down at tbo mission again, very tired ahd very date automobile, And there wero not a few covered the three miles from the end of the enr line to the park on foot. Tho day was a perfect one for cycle racing. Hardly n breath of air stirred to retard the prog ress of the races and tho sun shone bright And warm enough to ennble them to limber up their muscles without Any greAt effort. Promptly nt 3 o clock they were called to the mark and lined up In sqttA cording to tho handicap thoy hnd received Six minutes wns the limit nnd only ono young novice was fortunate enough to catch the handlcappern eye for this much His name was Walter Hell nnd he finished the tenth. Tho first man was sent away nmld cheers from his friends. In tho sec ond bunch, the flve-mlnuto. men, thero wcro three riders, In the four nnd one hnlf-mlnutt! squad there were eight, and to on until tho five scratch men, tho last of forty-olght, were sent nwny on the ten mile trip, flvo miles out nnd five miles back, ovor hill, down Into dale, across railroad tracks and bridges, but all of the tlmo on smooth macadam road. A w n 1 1 1 n k II" Outcome. After the scratch men were sent awny tho big crowd Jostled one nnothcr good nnturcdlv. eome betting on tho outcome anil others contenting themselves with merely guessing who would be tho victor After less than a half hour's wait the signal Hag a mllo up the road fell nnd tho crod know tho first rider would soon cross tho tape. He came with a rush nnd Alt held their breath urftll his number wns called. It proved to be N6. 13. not so un lucky as Is generally supposed, and worn by A. H. Edson, who had started with tho four-mlnuto bunch. He waa closely fol lowed by one, two and three rldcrJ nnd tho balance came stringing In for ten minutes moro until all had finished. The first of tho scratch men to cross tho tane was Ed Snow of Lincoln. Ho had covered tho distance In 3C minutes 40 sec onds, but this was not fast enough for tho tlmo prlzo. for a young athlete from Council Dluffs hy tho name of C.

There wcro eighteen prizes offered amonu which wero several bicycles. Tho winners will receive their wares Saturday, when thoy will be presented at tho store of H. E.

The Omaha Coliseum had a narrow escape from destruction by nre yesterday afternoon. SmAll boys And matches were the direct cause of the blaze, which nttnckrd the northern wall of the large frnmo build ing nnd did damage estimated at probably $100, The lire originated lu n shed In the rear on thn promises nt some time there have been complaints made of a gang ot-sniAlt boys who have been rnldlng chicken roosts and being careless with matches nnd cigar ettcs In the renr of the buildings In the vicinity.

The men aro as fantastically garbed .as the women and a rc;.'..:.?.ablo fact Is that many of them wenr women's clothes. A fat patriarch with a long black beard, who said his name was Orcgora, appeared In a salmon-pink tea Jacket, evidently tho product of some industrious begging on tho pnrt ot his wife. Another swarthy tartar wore In lieu of a coat what ap peared to have been thn waist of a ball gown, cut very low at the neck and with short sleeves. It ws sntln brocade ns to texture and the gores had been ripped up from the waist line to facilitate breath ing. It would have become him better had It not been for tho thick coat ot matted hair upon his breast. Tho king of the camp Is Yoan, a soggy, "beefy" tyne of tho Rusnlan race, with a beard longer and blacker than Oregora's. Ho wore a quilted rape, trimmed about tho edges with silver bells as largo ns sleigh bells. o l.aeli of Children. The children wero In great number, dirty and clamorous .for alms. Several little boys of from J2 to 1 appeared naked, save for women's skirts pinned about their waists nnd hanging to the ground. Tho spectacle of these tripping about tho camp. holding up thoir skirts to avoid stepping on them was nlone worth tho price of trans portation across tho bridge. Twenty or moro of these, children did what they snld wns the Russian dance, but the dnnce de generated Into a free-for-all fight when persons In the crowd ot spectators tossed pennies among them. The trailing skirts of the boys suffered In this scrimmage for coins and when It was over the sight sug gested one of the photographs illustrative of Frank G. Carpenter s sketches of na tive life on the Bag-Bag. the Knights ot Ak-Sar- Hen. The building, which Is of pine, covering hnlf n block, la filled with the p.traphcrnnlln of the knights nnd the partly constructed floats to bo used In the parade next fall, In addition to the machinery nnd spcctncular scenes used In tho Initiations of candidates. Tho Inrgfr pnrt of this materlnl Is highly Inflammable nnd tt hns been predicted on all sides that onco nn fire It would bo Itn possible to save tho structure. This was the opinion of tho fire department nnd when an nlarm giving the locntlon of the fire ns tho Coliseum was turned in every available company In the city wns hurried to the scene. Tho first to nrrlvc was com- pnny No. C, nnd these men had the flames extinguished before any of tho other com' panles arrived. For some time afterward the combined department worked to quench the hmoulderlng fire, which had penetrated between the siding and the celling.

Whatever else may happen visitors at the Bellstedt band concerts will experience no annoyance from dust or dampness. Tne festival eommlttro announces' that by an arrangement with the Union Pacific rail road the celebrated Sherman gravel, the same as laid on the main line of that road, will be placed on tho grounds at Fifteenth and Capitol avenue. Tbo great boon this will confer to persons in attendauco at the concerts cannot be over-estimated. To understand It moro fully it should ho ex plained that Sherman grav)l Is a dIMnte grated granite, taken from a range of mountain! between K,000 and 9.000 feet eln vatlon. U has beeu chemically prepared by the great fires of nature in pre-hlstorlo days, so as to gradually weld together with all the flexibility of asphalt and the dura bility of granite. Wherever, this granite Is iibod dust disappears. A most striking characteristic Is that tbo gravel Is porous and water therefore cannot collect on Its surface. It Is a natural absorbent, there fore there will bo complete Immunity from damp feet at the concerts, no matter how heavy the rainstorms may be. It should appeal to visitors on account of the fact that It can only be found In the west, at Sherman Hill, and Is superior tn any ba- Spanish peasant, with which everjonj in the audience sympathised. Lucas Mondaz, tho transformed muleteer, as given by Frederick Watson left little to be desired In the presentation, and the rest ot the cast was In keeping. "Carnlen" suffers little at the hands of the company which will render It In Omaha until Sunday even ing. Opening of Krng Park. Krug's park had Its opening for the sea son yesterday and the shady groves wore thronged with big crowds during the en tire afternoon and evening. The park has been made very attractive and promises to be a popular resort during the summer months. Tho opening was accomplished uhder de cldedly auspicious circumstances. Thou sands of people availed themselves ot tho splendid street car facilities and the mu Jorlty of them wero surprised to nnd so charming a spot within such easy reach of the city. Cars ran from tho downtown cen ters without any changes. Kxtenslve im provements have been made since the park closed last season. lu appearance It Is very attractive and Is supplied with any number of smuseraents Incident to such a resort. Tho principal attraction Is a trained anl roal show, whfch gave u performance after noon and evening, in both cases to crowds which taxed the capacity of tho tents. Be- sldo this thero nre merry-go-rounds. swings, bowling alleys, croquet grounds and teiinle courts, W. W. Cole, the manager, promises , to make the resort one of lasting popularity nnd to this end has spared no pains nor exponse. He will be assisted by W. P. Byrnes, assistant manager of the orpheum. The long experience thcto gentlemen havo had in amusement enterprises fits them particularly for such an enterprise. PAY TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD Emmet Mnnnment Association Deco rate the Graven of Its He parted Member. In accordance with Its annual custom, the Emmet Monument association sent out ii committee yesterday to pay the tribute of tender memory to departed members of that association who are resting lu the various cemeteries. The committee comprised Thomas Fallon, P. J. Cummlngs, William J. Maber, Ed J. Kelly and P. C. Hrafy. About fifteen of the departed members of this organization are resting In St. Mary's cemetery, about an equal number In Holy Sepulchre and the remainder in Forest Lawn and Prospect Hill. The committee visited each cemetery and performed Its function while the Orand Army and Relief corps committees wero performing similar service in memory of the soldier dead. Among the revered departed from the Emmet Monument association are a number who achieved distinction In thf. service of the union, among them being General O'Neill, General O'Brlon and General But ler. Among the remainder of the thirty five whose memory wa recalled were many who bore the part of common soldiers in the wars of tbelr adopted country. HYMENEAL. i.larke-Moalton. ASHLAND. Neb., May 30. (Special.) Arthur Clarke and Miss Minnie Moulton of Denver were married at the home of tho groom's parents this morning at fi o'clock. Mr. Clarke Is the son nf Colonel J. K. There la likely to bo lively competition In tho bidding for tho proposed High school. An advertisement for bids Is now being published and bids will bo received by Chnlrmnu Ficenec ot the buildings and grounds committee up to 8 p. in. Friday, Juno 7. Three propositions aro submitted to con tractors. Tho flrBt Is for eleven school rooms, with closets, etc., without assembly hall. Tho second Is for eleven rooms with an assembly hnll. The third Is for n com pletcd building ot twenty-two rooms. All bids submitted must be accompanied by a certified check for $E00, made payable to tho school district. Contractors desiring full details may securo them by calling upon tho board's architect, A. L. Davis, nt his rooms In tho Murphy block. The board reserves the right to reject any or nil bldf An estimate has been mado which shows that tho proposed sttucture will cost in the neighborhood of $5,000 per room. The action of Treasurer Koutsky In call ing $90,000 In school warrants has, It Is stated, rather disarranged thn plans of tho school board In regard 19 making Improve menta to buildings and the erection or 11 High school. On the streets thero Is some tnlk of taking legal steps to prevent the board from letting contracts for the erection ot tho High school, for the reason that there is no money In sight. This talk comes, it Is stated, mostly from those who were opposed to the selection of tho Hoctor site. The district has purchased the ground and if tho board Is prevented from eroctlng even n ward school on the slto bv those who aro opposed to the members of the present board there will bo fomethlng dolnc for sure, ns the fight Is purely political. At leant this Is what the members of the board say. There Is need of more school room In the district tributary to tho present Central school, but of course it remains with tho proplo to say whether the building to be erected shall be a ward srhool or a High school. A member of the board said last evening that If anyone who Is opposed to the erec tion of a High school on tho ground of lack of finances would toko the trouble to look Into tho matter It would be found that ways and means have been found for the erecthn of the building without nsklug the people to issue bonds for the purpos;.
