said, in part:
"Somo pooplo nro nlwnys living In and
speaking of 'the; good old days of tho past,'
but theso hack numbers are never aboard
the train, nor do they feel the rumble of Its
rprogrews. They rescmhlo tho ancients, who
placed tho golden age in tho earliest "period
or numan. history. They believed In cvolu
tlon inverted, 'Modern ancients," who live
only In tho hnlcyon and rose-colored period
, of thoir Imagination, sec nothing good In
tho present and prognosticate no gcod for
thn tnture. The clock of time has stopped
for 'them and they reallzo Douglass Jor-
rqld's conservate, who hHd so great respect
Hir the old moon that he would not look at
ntho new one.
"There are thoee standing In the world's
watchtower who refuso to believe that
thero aro no hettcr things for them. They
havo faith in themselves and In tho onward
march of humanity. This Is tho golden age
of all time so far. TIJs Is shown In tho

FORMERLY AN OMAHA MAN
W, ,1,)lc Dickey, Icr Klnit of lCnnans
Cnpltnl, In Well Heme inhered
lit This City.
W. Lylo Dickey, manager of the People's
Ico company of Topckn, who was fined
1200 by tho police Judge of tho Kansas
capital for violating nn anti-trust ordi
nance, was for several years a prominent
citizen of Omaha, Whlln hero he was a man
of affalrH In various directions, being en
gaged In commercial pursuits and having
Investments in sundry enterprises, Ho was
nlso well knowu socially.
During tho recent hot spoil Mr. DIckoy'M
cognomen has been a "nanio to conjure
with In Topcka, bolng so closely asso
ciated wjtn tno nign price or ice. it wqh
alleged that his company was a trust; that
It was organized for tho express purpose
of killing competition and that but for Itn
existence Ice could bo had at living prices.
Tho newspapers printed editorials, quoting
statistics to show that the congealed lux
ury cost nearly twlco as much In Topcka
as In other cities of the samo Class.
Finally n. complaint was filed against
Mr. Dickey and the caso camo to trial In
Rend the two sides of tins story and
then give a verdict on the evidence as
to the menta ot Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery.

police court. Nearly alt the witnesses
subpoenaed by the prosecution refused to
testify. Prom such evidence as was ad
duced, however, the Judge concluded that
Dickey was guilty and assessed a fine of
J200, An appeal was at once taken to the
district court and Dickey was released
under a $250 bond.
The company expects the case will be
thrown out of the district court on n
technicality, as it hopes to show that the
ordinance under which It was brought Is
Invalid. It also derives some comfort from
the thought that with the coming of cooler
weather the animosity against It will sub
side anil the people will forget the Issue,
Meanwhile an Independent Ice company Is
being formed.
CAPTAIN A. W. PERRY RETURNS

lleatore Ills llenltli,
Captain A. W. Perry, formerly stationed
In thla city, who Is now on his way from
the Philippine Islands to Fort Ethan
Allen, where he will be stationed with the
Eleventh cavalry. Is btopptng at the Omaha
club, recuperating from .the effects of his
campaign In the tropics.
The captain would hardly bo recognized
by his former ncoualulances, as from an
erect and sprightly officer weighing 18,"
pounds he has become a convalescent from
Illness, weighing 103 pounds, and has per
mitted a beard rtronked with gray to cover
bis face. Tho captain Is feeling In excel
lent spirits and will only require a sutll
clcntly long stay In tin temperate zone to
bring him back to his former vigor. Cap
tain Perry was among those who first
went to the Philippines connected with tbo
quartermaster's department. He remained
there until June, when ho left Maulla
for the United States.
.Speaking of the conditions on the islands
ho said he did not believe the rumored
policy conoentratlng Hie troops In the
larger towns was tho proper one for the
Islands, as small hadles of soldiers scat
tered over tho country would havo n greater
moral effect on the Inhabitants, who, for
all of tho suppression of open hostilities,
uro far from becoming loyal subjects of
the United States. One reason for tho
condition Is their experience of many hun
dred years under Spanish rule, during
which they only received lenient treat
ment when Spain was too weak to sup
port a strong government, and they look
upon tho leniency of the United States as
a symptom of weakness. The presence of
only a small body of troops has a tendency
to dispel -this Illusion.
In the opinion of tho caplnln It will re
quire mo presenco or soldiers for many
years on the Islands to suppress outrage
ann insurrection. Tlio natives arc sus
ceptlhlo of development and are In many
Instances making rapid progress.

SEASON'S FIRST PAVING JOB
Will He North Twenty-Fourth Street,
hut Material .Not Yet De
termined. From present appearances North Twenty
fourth will be the first of the streets In tho
city to bo Improved this season nnd that
street will probably bo paved with brick.
For several wceki two petitions havo been
In circulation regarJIng tho street. Ono
circulated by the brick contractors Is to
havo their product designated ns the ma
terial to be used. The other petition, un
der the supervision of M. D. Knrr, presi
dent of the council, Is for lepavlng, saylnc
nothing of the materlnl to bo used.
It Is necessary to secure practically 4,000
feet to have a majority of the frontago on
the street where repaying Is required. Tho
brick paving contractors claim to havo se
cured this majority, but others who havo
seen the petition say that this Is doubtful,
as somo of the signers nro administrators
of estates, who, under a recent decision of
the district court, have no legal authority
to sign such petitions.
To tho petition for repavlng there havo
been signed tho names of owners of nearly
4.000 feet, but some of theoe will have no
legal weight for tho same reason. With
theso names stricken off there remains a
llttlo more than 3,000 feet represented on
that petition, which Includes the names of
tho heaviest property owners. Herman
Kountzo, who for some time refused to sign
any petition, unu nas neen reported ns
holding up the repnvlng of tho street, has
signed both petitions, representing over
1,400 feet frontage, Tho Patrick estate Is
In such shapo that It will requlro the slgna
ture of every heir to make tho signature of
any offrctlvo on the petition, and ns somo
of the bclra nro said to be In Kurope, It Is
the opinion of members of the council aud
tho contractors that the petitions will havo
to be mnde effective without tho signatures
representing this large holding.

General John C. Hates, who has been
appointed commander of the Department
ot the Missouri, Is in St. Louis visiting
relatives, Upon the explrntlon of his four
months' leave ot absence ho will come to
Omaha to take charge of the Department
of the Missouri. In a St. Louis paper the
general Is quoted as saying that he knows
of no organized movement to romovo tho
headquarters of the Department of the
Missouri to St. Louis or elsewhere. When
he was In St. Louis before, he says, somo
Influential citizens suggested to him that
they would llko to see such a removal
made, but ho knew of no particularly
strong military reason for changing th
present arrnngement. it such a move were
made ho thought It would likely be the
result nt political Influences and In that
evnt there would be republican Iowa nnd
Nebraska arrayed against democratic Mis
souri, though there are strong republican
Influences In St. Louis, which might ac
oo-npllih much In such a movement.
In tho event of a removal from Opiaha
howover, Kansas City would be an npplb
cant for the headquarters, he said. There
'are advantages In St. Louis, so far as tho
markets are concerned, but If Missouri got
the headquarters he thought there would
havo to bo united action on tho part of not
only St, Louis and Kansas City, y but the
remainder of tho state besides. Tho head
quarters at Ctusha are satisfactory now.

broken topography that the feud owes Its
existence. Although the Cross and Hep

the Cross roof overtops that of Hepburn
by nt least twenty feet 'and tho Hepburn
chimney pours Its volume of smoke Into the
Cross parlor.
Mrs. Cross says sho offered to buy enough

The Irregular site, crossing muddy streets
nnd alleys, wns far from an Ideal location.
Hut they went to work, these ndvnnce fel
lows, who may bo termed the engineer
corps, with measuring lines ami marking
rods and laid out the grounds. Here wns
placed the grand entrance, next the me-
nngcrle tent, then the mnln show, with th"!
sideshows, dresslngrooms, the cook and
dining tents and others clustered about.
Tho preliminary work had not been com
pleted when the big stnke, pole and canvas
wagons arrived, with n small army of can-
vasmen nnd roustabouts, wnen tne nay s
work commenced In earnest. A gang for
each tent nnd a boss for each gang was the
method which soon brought order out of
chaos. Following tho lines IMd out by tho
ndvnnce men, stnkes were first driven, then
the center poles erected, top canvas raised
side poles put up and the tent completed
by the addition of side ennvns. It sounds
easy, but It means hours of hard work for
from fifty to 150 men on each tent. And
wading ankle deep through mud mado the
labor all- the more unpleasant.
Circus People Knt.
Tho cook nnd dining tents were first put
up, because the nlwnys hungry circus army
miiBt eat well If It Is to work well. The
chef and his assistants had breakfast undtr
way Bhortly and tho appetizing odors lent
new vigor to the "rubes" as they floated by.
The tent for tho nnlmnl fair was next up
and the birds nnd beasts were soon there
The thirty-five elephants count them
were tho first to bring their baggage, but
the camels got a hump on themselves and
came in a close seconn, ioiiowcu ny wiu
wnter buffalo and the only giraffe on earth,
to say nothing of tho hippopotamus.
Tho main show tent, the "big top," as tno
showmen call It. was last In position, llut
when the big canvns was placed the heavl
est part of the work hnd been finished and
from then on was plain sailing. Parade
hour found the tented city nnd Its In
hahltants In readiness when the forward
signal was given.
