These torrid Juno days naturally set one
thinking pfsummcr vacations, and the
thought Is particularly timely Just now
In view of the remarkably liberal offer
made by The Beo, which provides for an
outing for twelve, young women, who earn
their own livings.
These vacations are absolutely free In
the fullest sense of tho word and those
who pay money for coupons with which to
cast votes for their favorite candidates
get full valuo for evciy cent expended
In tho way of subscription to the paper.
The management of Tho Bee bears every
necessary expense of these trips from the
tlmo the winners ieave Omaha until thry
return. This means not only the railroad
or steamship transportation, but hotel bills
and other Incidentals.

He says, 'ISpeaklng of coffee, my first

Tho nervous Bystem was In such a condi

and to my distress I discovered that my

of the symptoms of ooffee poisoning, I
concluded to leave off the coffee and take
up Postum Food Coffeo In Its place.
"The results were astonishing. Gradu

and many prefer to take the paper on

These vacations are of such valuo that
no young woman who cornea within the

outings are to be given. Start In today,
even though your name has not yet ap
peared, and you may be one of thu lucky
dozen. Who knows?
The contest Is moving nicely. It grows
a little stronger every day, yet there Is
no mad rush calculated to discourage some
until they abandon hope and to encourage
others to the point of overconfldence. In
short, this contest Is feolng along Just

candidates to get In with a reasonable
hope of winning,

It Is not necessary for anyone to pay

to any expense whatever. These trips are
free. The nee pays for everything. Simply
ask Bee subscribers to vote for you when
they pay their subscriptions, or havo them
save the coupon Blgncd by the collector
to whom tho subscription Is paid until you
call again. You can either collect these
coupons yourself or have them sent In by
the carrier.
South Omaha News
Taxation still appears to be one of the
principal topics of conversation among men
on the streets. Considerable disappoint
ment 1b expressed at the action of the
Board of Rovlow In not increasing the as
sessment of the packers and stock yards
more. As originally returned by Tax Com
missioner Fitzgerald tho valuation of the
flvo packing houses and the stock yards
was $501,320. By Increasing tho valuation
on these corporations $125,130 tho total
stands $626,450. Compared with the as
sessed valuation of 1900 for the corpora
tions In question, which was $316,500, an
Increase of $279,950 is shown.
Tho principal dissatisfaction (rom the
revision comes from the fact that tho cor
porations In question virtually agreed to an
lncrcnso of 100 per cent for city purposes.
Had the tax commissioner or the Board of
Review carried out tho Ideas of those who
framed, the charter the corporation as
sessment this year would have been $793,
000, or an Increase of $166,550,ovor the val
uations as returned by the 'Board of Re
view. A great many people are of tho opinion
that thu decision of the Board of Review
ends the matter and that' no further
change In the valuations can' be made.
City Attorney Lambert, however, holds dif
ferently. He asserts that the city council
still has It In Its power to make the as
sessment If It Is .deemed advisable to do
so. This will hardly be done, however, as
the time for making the annual levy Is so
near. On next Monday night the council
will, If It performs Its duty, make tho
1901 levy. On account of tne reductions
made to' properly where comp'lalntsJTwere
filed tho total valuation as originally re
turned by the commissioner will not be ma
terially changed. It Is possible that the
total valuation will be placed at $2,500,000.
This Is what the charter makers figured
on last winter. Even at this valuation a
CO-mlll levy will be' needed to raise suf
ficient funds to pay the running expenses
of the city. On top of this will come a
20-mlll levy for school purposes and the
county levy. ,
Wants Streeta Cleaned.'
Mayor Kelly Is preparing to Issue a proc
lamation asking the citizens to tidy up
their front and back yards, mow their
grass and cut weeds In order to present a
favorable appearance to visitors next
month. In order to assist In the work of
cleaning up the mayor Is having all of the
paved streets In the business portion of
the city flushed by tho Are department.
Tho mayor said yesterday that many res
idents were exceedingly careless about
throwing refuso into the gutters. Ho wants
this stopped, not only for appearance
sake, but for sanitary reasons. A force In
the employ of the street commissioner will
be put to work soon cutting the weeds
along the curb lines on Twenty-fourth
street. This will Improve tho appcaranco
of the main thoroughfare a great deal.
There will be another washing of the
streets before tho opening of tho fair next
month.
Fitsirerald Ilearlns; Thursday.
In view of the action of Judge Baker In
modifying his order in the matter of Tax
Commissioner Fltzgorald there seems to be
some uncertainty about the charges against
Fitzgerald coming up for hearing on Thurs
day. In the complaint Fitzgerald Is
charged with malfcasanco and misfeasance
In ofHco, etc. Somo of tho city oflloials are
Inclined now to drop tho matter for the
time being, at least as far as the Impeach
ment proceedings are concerned. Others,
however, want to push tho case through
with a view to vacating the ofttce. If there
is nothing done in the district court on
Thursday the council will at Its meeting
next Monduy night consider an ordinance
defining tho duties of the tax commleslonor
with n view to compelling this official to
dqvote his entire time to tho city.

Custer's Last Battle
On the 25th of June, 1876, twenty-five
years ago, the most remarkable fight
In the history of Indian warfare took
place on the Little Big Horn river In
southern Montana, between the command of
General George A. Custor and all the allied
Indians under tho leadership of Chiefs
Gall and Sitting Bull. It was remarkablo
from the fact that not a single man of
Custer's command escaped to tell the tale.
Much has been written and said about this
famous fight, a large part of which Is th
product of vivid Imaginations. Tho latest
reliable contribution of tho history of the
campaign aomes from Dr. H. R. Porter of
Bismarck, N. D., tho only surviving surgeon
of the three who were with Custer on that
fateful Juno day and who, was separated
from him a few minutes before the charge
on the Indian camp. Speaking of the ap
proach to the Indian camp and the events
following. Dr. Porter said to a corre
spondent: "We proceeded until 4 o'clock the morn
ing of the 25th. when wo camped In a deep
ravlno where the Indians could not see us.
We were not allowed to uneaddlo or un
pack. Being very tired after our long ride
we laid down and slept, each man holding
his horso by the, bridle reins. In about an
hour tho scouts reported a large camp of
Indians nhead. The command was ordered
to get ready for action. Custor came to
me and said: 'Porter, there Is a large camp
of Indians nhead and wo aro going to have
a great kllllnc' At 6 o'clock wo started.
It was Custer's purpose at this time to
charge the Indians In a body, ho supposing
that our presenco had not been discovered
by them. In a short time the scouts reported
that wo bad been soon by tho Indians. Cub
tor then decided to divide the command.
Ho sont Colonel Bentecn with threo com
panies to tho left, Major Reno with three
companies In the center and ho took threo
companies nud was to go to tho right, his
Idea being to surround the Indian camp.
Captain McDougal was left In charge of
tho pack trnln. It was about 10 a. m.
when tho command was divided. Just as
wo wcro ready to start Custer came to
mo and said: "Doctor, I would lllto to
hnve you go with me. as vou aro vmmr
and a better rider than Dr. Lord, tho chief
eurgeon.' I replied. 'All right. I would
much prcfor going with you.' Custer then
said, 'I will see Dr, Lord and ask his con
sent.' We rodo over to where Dr. Lord
was and Custer spoko to him about the
contemplated arrangement. The doctor
replied, 'Not much. I am going with you,'
The, poor fellow in those few words s.ivcd
my llfo and sealed his own doom. I went
with Reno. We had proceeded hut n shnrt
distance when Captain Cook, Custer's ad
jutant, camo up and said: "Tho Indians
nro right ahead of you and vnu nrn nr.
dered to charge them as soon as possible.
"We went forward at a lively gait.
When we came to the river we discovered
that Indians were on the opposite bank.
We forded tho river ami suddenly camo
upon ten or fifteen of tho redskins and
they were running. Wo then thought that
we had already won tho fight. We rode
some little distance toward the Indian
camp when suddenly a swarm of the red
devils rose up and poured a terrific fire
Inlo us, We dismounted and formed a
skirmish line. At first there were only a
few, comparatively, then more and more
of the savages appeared and the ground
seemed to be fairly alive with them. They
were alt naked and their bodies were
painted hideously. They all rode their
ponies bareback. The fire finally becamo
so hot that Reno ordered his men to
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Major .Moorai Onttpektn in Hii Vete of
Mori Water Hjdranti.
OPPOSED TO DEFICIT IN WATER FUND
Snyn He Does Not Think the CounclU
men Trent the Mnjnr mid Tax
payer Fnlrly nnd the Mem
ber Support Ills Vluws.
Mayor Moores used no uncertain terms
In vetoing an ordlnanco which provided
for twelve additional water hydrants. Ills
veto was presented at last night's meet
ing of the city council and was sustained
by tho eight members of tho council who
were present. Mr. Mount was the absent
mcmner.
The mayor's veto was as follows:
It Is well known to all members of the
council that the cost of tho present number
! of hydrants will tquul fully tho a mo J in of
th levy provided for the water fund nnd
.1... I ....... 1 .. ...... ..Ml 1 ....,
iiiui iui;iiiiuii u 1 .1117 uuuiuiiinii iiyiiramn
will Hlmply create a deficit In the water
rent fund, 1 have no doubt that some of
these hydrants Hro needed In the 'localities
Indicated, but there arc no lunds available
to pay for them and for that reason this
ordinance must bo vetoed. The members
of tho council assured the citizens of
vrjiiuiin. uiui inuy rtuum use iiieir uesi en
deavors to curtail expenses and would keep
the expenditures within the levy. The pas
sago of this ordlnnncc Is h direct and will
ful violation of that promise. A number of
thu councllmen have stuted that they
knew these hydrants ought not to be
placed, but that they would shift the bur
den to the mayor, an they knew he would
veto It und by no doing they would satisfy
Hnntu nt tlml. hial.lan, ........ I
leave tho major to bear tho responsibility
nnd blame of the parties wanting these
hydrants. I do not think this Is a fair way
to treat the mayor nnd tnxpavers. 1 am not
afraid to bear my share of tho rcsponsl
Dlllty, but I think the members of the city
council should havo tho nerve to sav no
when demands ure made which they know
to bo lllegnl nnd against the provisions of
the city charter. I therefore veto this
ordinance nnd trust that the voto will bo
sustained, and that no further ordinances of
this character will be Introduced this year.
Other Vetoes.
The mayor was also sustained In his veto
of ordinances which provided for the re
locating of nine hydrants In the Third and
Fifth wards. Ho was not sustained In his
opposition to the salo of tho portion of
Eleventh Btrcct beneath tho Eleventh street
viaduct. The mayor stated In his com
munication concerning tho salo of this prop
erty that tho abutments at the south end
of the viaduct are located on the property
to bo sold and that the transfer of owner
ship might lnterforo with tho repairing of
the masonry. It was explained to tho coun
cllmen that the city rotnlns control of the
ground upon which tho abutment stands
by a provision In tho deed.
The council sustained tho mayor In his
veto of a resolution providing for the pur
chase by tho city of 5,000 pamphlets is
sued by tho Doveloper company and sot
ting forth tho resources of Omaha. Tho
prlco of the books was to bo $70 per
1,000. The mayor stated that ho deemed
such an expenditure unnecessary and un
warranted. Police Appointments Approved.
Upon the recommendation of the com
mittee on fire, water and police tho
counclt approved the appoln'tmoni' of all
members of tho police department whose
names wore submitted to the council at
Its last meeting. No change, la made In
the department and the reappointments
were made on account of JiiQge Estello's
decision that tho Board of Fire, and Police
Commissioners has no autnor(tf.tfl,'empIoy
and dismiss member of the 'flr'e..a'nd, police
departments.
A water trough was ordered on Twenty
fourth street north of Ames avenue.'
An ordinance was passed canceling the
plat of Howell place. An ordinance was In
mount and 'chargo' ho called It to the
rear. We were driven into the woods. A
general stampede of our troops then took
place. A soldier was shot la the little
clump of trees where I was. I dismounted
and found him mortally wounded. My
horso was rearing and plunging and I had
all I could do to hold him. The Indians,
In their mad pursuit of our demorallied
troops, did not notice me in the timber.
Thoy were passing within ten feot of
where I was. I placed laudanum oa the
wound of the soldier and bandaged It as
best I could and again mounted my fright
ened horse. As I was leaving him the poor
soldier said: 'For God's sake, doctor, don't
leavo mo to bo tortured by those fiends.
Bullets wcro flying thick nnd fast and I
turned my horso looso and caught up with
our troops, who had gotten a half a mile
away. In that half-mile ride I think that
I was made tho target of 1,000 rifles, but
I escaped without a scratch. We again
forded the river and took a stand on tho
top of a steep hill. A few minutes later
Benteen, with his throe companies, came
up, as did McDougal with the pack train.
Bentecn, after leaving us when the com
mand was divided, had gone west of tho
river. Not seeing any Indians and hearing
tho firing, ho rushed back nnd Joined us.
Wo fought there the remainder nf tho
surrounded by 3,000 savages, while there
were only 300 of us all told. Tho men dug
rlllo pits with their knives and tin cups.
At dark tho Indians stopped firing. Some
of the men then crawled down to the
river and secured water. Wo had been
fighting In the broiling sun all day without
a drop of water nnd tho wounded wcro
begging for a drink. I had some brandy
with ma and I told them It would make
them worse. They insisted on having It
anyway. Noxt morning tho Indians again
opened fire on ns. Although Reno was tho
ranking officer. Colonel Benteen was really
in command and to his coolness and
bravery those of us who were saved owe
our lives. With the air thick with bul
lets and somo of them piercing his clothing
he stood calmly directing the troops
"During the two days wa. were surrounded
by tho Indians tho Inquiry among our men
for Custer was loud and that goneral'H
court-martial was freely speculated upon,
After separating from us Custer had gono
through n rough country for K distance of
four or five miles and attacked, tho Indians
In tho rear. As soon as wo could several
of the officers and myrelf went over to
whero Custer had fought and found that
what Ocnernl Terry h.id reported was only
too true. We found Custer's body stnrk
naked, as whlto and clean as a baby's. Ho
was ahot In the head and breast. Tho
body of Captain Tom Custer. General Cm.
tcr's brother, was horribly mutilated.
Ho was disemboweled nnd his head had
been crushed In by n blow from a stono
hammer used by tho Indians. Tho only
arrow wound I found was In his head, Ho
had the Sioux mark of death, which was a
cut from tho hip to the knee, reaching to
tho bone. His heart was not cut out, as
has been reported by Roln-ln-tho-Face, on
of the Sioux chiefs who took part In tho
fight. I cut a lock of hair from the head
of each officer as he lay and gave It to
their families on my return home."
Tho most reliable story of Outer's last
flcht was told hy Chief Gall to Dr Pn'
tcr. On the tenth anniversary of the bat
tle, In 1886, Dr. Porter nnd a number nf
officers who were with Reno, together with
flail, were at the battlefield and they went
over tho ground together. This Is CJaH'
story: "Wo saw tho soldiers In tho morn

Since that time tho statute of limitations

men and children, caught the horses for
tho bucks to mount them; tho bucks
mounted and charged back on Reno and
cnecaea mm ana drove him Into the timber.
The soldiers tied their horses to trees and
came out and fought on foot. As soon as
Reno was beaten and driven back across
tho river the whole force turned upon
Custer and fought him until they destroyed
him. Custer did not reach the rlvor, but
was met about half a mile up the ravlno,
now called Reno creek. They fought tho
soldiers and beat them back step by step
until all wcro killed." From his story It
Is ovldent that the Indiana wero In the
coulees behind and In front of Custer at
he moved up tho ridge to take hla posl
tlon. "Tho first two companies (Keogh and
. Calhoun) dismounted and fought on foot.
They never broko, but retired step by stop
until forced back to tho ridge, where all
finally perished. They were shot down In
lino where they Btood. ThU statomont
seems to be borne out by tho facts, as
thirty-elght bodies of Keogh's company
wero found together. Tho warriors di
rected a special flro against tho soldiers
who held the horses whllo the others
fought. As soon nn ono of theso soldiers
was killed by moving blankets and
yelling tho horses were stampeded, which
mado It Impossible for tho soldiers to es
cape. "Afterward tho soldlors fought desper
ately and hard and never surrendered. As
fast as the men fell tho horses were
horded and driven toward the squaws and
old men, who gathered them In, When
Reno attempted to find Custer by throwing
out a skirmish line Custer and all with
hlra were dead. When the skirmishers
reached a high point overlooking Custer's
field the Indians wore galloping around
and over the wounded, dying and dead,
popping bullets nnd arrows Into them.
When Reno made his attack at tho upner
end ho killed my two squaws and chlldron,
which mado my heart had. I then fought
with my tomahawk (which moans, of
course, mutilating). Custer's , soldiers ran
out of ammunition. Their supply of cir
fridges was In tho saddle pockets of their
stnmpeded horses. Ttio Indians then ran
up to tho soldiers and butchered them with
tomahawks. A lot of horses ran away and
Jumped Into tho river, but were caught
by the squaws, Eleven Indians were killed
on Reno's creek and several Indians fell
over and died. Only forty-three Indians
were killed altogether, but a great many
wounded ones camo across the river and
died In the rushes. Some foldlors got
away and ran down a ravine, crossed the
river, camo back again and were killed.
