V Of Orilrr.
In order that thcro may be no mlaunder
landing as to tho exact nature and con
ditions of tho fair which begins on Thurs
day evening, tho local lodgo of Elks has
Indited tlilH address to the public:
"In tho promotion of tho Elks' fair,
members of tho many subcommittees havo
been' asked ns to tho purpnso of tho fair,
and how tho money mado from this fair Is
to bo Hppllcd. Tho Elks have decided to
mako a public statement on this subject.
"Tho purposo of this fair Is to secure
tho largest possible rcprcccntatlon of
Omaha lodgo at tho grand lodge meeting In
Bait Lake- City, to go thoro with n fine
band of music, In suitable uniforms, and
with tho badges necessary for such an oc
casion. It will bo necessary, In view of
tho fact that tho Omaha lodge of Elks Is
conducting n campaign to secure tho high
est offlco In tho gift of tho order for George
I. Crnnk, a member of Omaha lodge, to
navo headquarters at tho Knutsford hotol.
In this mnnncr and by this moans, Omaha
will recolvo as great an advertisement as
it has over obtained from any delegation
that has over visited a distant city.
"Another purposo equally advantageous
Is the cntortalnment of tho Elks who will
pass through OmaVa on their way from
tho cast, to tho grand lodgo meeting
Omaha Is on tho great central railroad
highway from tho cast to Salt Lako City,
ond at least three-fourths of the 100,000
and moro Elko of tho United States llvo
cast of tho Missouri river. At leant 2,000
will pass through this city, nnd they will
naturally spend several hours here, and
they must bo entertained during their stay
at a conslderablo expense
"After paying tho legltlmato expenses,
tho balanco of tho fund created through
this fair Is pledged by tho committee of
nrrangemsnts, who havo It in chargo, and
by tho lodge, through this committee, to
bo paid Into tho charity fund of Omaha
lodgo No. 39, rionevolcnt and Protective
Order of Elks.
"This Ir tho first tlmo In sixteen years
since tho lodgo was first organized that It
haB over asked a dollar from tho citizens
of Omaha for nny other purposo than Its
charity fund. Tho Elks havo always boon
truo In tholr fulfillment of ovory promlso
they havo over mado. Tho pcoplo of this
city know that, and that Is tho reason why
tho donations for this fair havo been so
numerous and so elegant, far surpassing
any public gifts that havo over before been
offered on any similar occasion In this
city; nnd It also accounts for tho un
proccdentcd salo up to dato of tho adrals
slon tickets, which glvo promlso of filling
of tho rooms to their ontlro capacity overy
' afternoon nnd evening during tho nine days
of. tho fair."

AWAKENS MEMORIES OF WAR
Unexpected Meeting of Veleran of
the Civil Conflict Who Fonnlit
Side 1r Side.
"A pleasant and unexpected meeting of
two grizzled and time-worn veterans of the
civil war," says tho Weir City (Kan.) Trl.
buno, "was witnessed by a number of per
sons at the Union hotel In this city Monday
evening, January 13, when A. A. Carpenter
of Constance, Mich., and Thomas Morrlsscy
of Omaha met for the first time in thirty
eight years In tho lobby of that hotel. They
were both members of the Third New York
Infantry and as they sat and recounted tho
thrilling Incidents and escapade othose
days the white hairs that fell across their
wrinkled brows seemed to take now Ufo,
and oven tho deep furrows of tlmo appar
ently disappeared from their tired faces.
Onco more they wcro young and tho am
bitious fires of youth burning brightly: once
moro they were on the battlefield whero tho
hellish scream of shot and shell and groans
of dying comrades, mingled with tho bugle's
call, made their blood run like a Blugglsh
stream, and amid this a soldier bravo and
truo staggered and fell to earth, plerocd by
a messeuger of death, whore he lay for a
momont In torrlblo ngony. Soon ho was
gathered up In a pair of strong arms and
carrlod back through the lines, through the
long rows of fighting demons, to a placo
whero the wounded man could receive care
and medical attention. He struggled val
iantly for days agalnBt tho ehadowlng bands
of death and finally recovered and again
took his place In the then thinned ranks
of his comrades. It was 2 a. m. when Car
penter had concluded his story of hovr,
when Morrlssey fell, he had carried him
back to safety and life. The old soldiers at
this reunion were tew In number, but It
was a. happy one."
TAFT PASSES THROUGH OMAHA
Train U Delnyed Seven Honrs by
Severe Storm Governor' Health
Is Much Improved.
William II. Taft, civil governor of tho
Philippine Islands, passed through Omaha
at 11 o'clock last night and will not pause
until he reaches his home In Cincinnati.
Ho had been apprised earlier In the even
ing of the death of his mother, Mrs. John
W. Horron, and many telegrams or conuo
lenco awaited his arrival In Omaha. Ac-
omranylng Governor Taft were his wife
and three children and bis physician, tho
party being quartered In tho prlvato car
Mayflower.
The governor's train on the Union .Pa
cific encountered a Btorm of exceptional
severity early tu the day and was so ham
pered by tho continuous wind-driven snow
that It reached Omaha eeven hours late, it
was divided Into sections for economy of
time, that containing Governor Taft's car
and tho specials ot tho Canadian Editorial
association following tho Denver coaches.
Despite the rigorous weather, the like of
which Governor Taft has not seen for two
years, his health has steadily Improved
since he reached his natlvo land and his
physician gavo a most encouraging report
of his condition,
Governor Taft was almost prostrated by
the news of bis bereavement and felt
pecvllar fatality In such a visitation on tha
eve of his arrival home from a two years
absence. In view of tho circumstances he
oxcueed himself from tho discussion of pub
lie questions.

Under date of January 18 the following
letter appears In the Boston Transcript,
and, owing to the frequent attempts slnco
tho Milwaukee Incident to secure an official
expression from tho organization referred
to, it is of especial Interest to club women:
To (ho Editor of tho Transcript's Club
Column: Having been asked on several oc
casions to state the position of tho Na
tional Association of Colored Women, un
organization composed of 10,000 women,
with rcfcrcncn to the. so-called color lino
In women's clubs. It Is perhaps pertinent
to the question to stnto that it Is impossible
to give out an ofllclal statement of the po
sition of tho association, since tho matter
has never been brought up for discussion
therein. From Individual statements, reso
lutions passed by several of the state fed
erations Included In tho national body, and
ficm tho Innate sense nnd lovo of justice
usually deeply Implanted In tho heart of
Intelligent humnn brJIngs, It Is safo to stnto
that tho consensus of opinion Is that to
mnko race, or tho color of ono's skin, tho
basin of one's right to membership, or
other recognition. In organizations sup
posed to bo formed for tho elevation of hu
manity, Is a long stop backward, and thnt
It embodies a principle entirely too narrow
for tho assumed broadly gauged mentality
of tho nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Visitors to tho Omaha' Public library aro
seldom taken into tho morgue. It 1b thoro
that tho books which havo outlived their
usefulness find a resting placo. Last year
1,905 wrecks wcro turned over to tho book
coroner. Somo of tho books were cremated
and others wero given away.
Tho number of books retired during tho
last year was unusually largo and repre
sents tho accumulated volumes for several
years. When tho bindery was established
In connection with the library the sholvcs
wero cleared of all volumes that were in
bad condition and an Unusually large num
ber of books which wero beyond repair was
unearthed.
Many books which Qnd their way Into the
morgue are so badly soiled that they can
not bo used any longer for circulation, and
others havo pages missing and are In a
stato ot complete dilapidation. Books which
are hopelessly crippled are destroyed, but
thoso which are only badly soiled aro given
away, Most ot tho gifts mado during the
lftst year were to country schools which
haveVno books with tho exception of those
which aro donated. Some books wero also
gives to tho Lincoln penitentiary after tho
destruction ot Its library by fire last year.
Ot tho books which are put on the retired
list annually 85 per cent is Action. Quite a
largo percentage ot tho books which are
worn out Is juvenile fiction. In 1000 books
to tho number ot 626 found their way to tho
morguo. Tho previous year showed a re
tired 'list of 924. In 1898 there wore 754
books thrown out, of the shelves and In 1697
tho number of worn out books was only
twenty-four. 1

Omaha was one of'tho most nctlvo of the
social organizations of tho city. It-was
called Into existence primarily through the
suggestion of Dr. Georgo h. Miller, who
tnkes a great Interest In "our boys," as ho
calls them. At that tlmo "our boys" wcro
beginning to become men and to taka nn
nctlvo Interest In tho affairs of lite. Dr.
Sillier, nt u dinner tendered to
some, of tho young men, suggested that It
would bo well to form such a society for
tho purposo of perpetuating tho history of
tho early days ot tho community, to hold
tho friends of school days together nnd to
mnko a united stand for tho advancement
of. the mntcrlal wolfnro .of tho natlvo city
of .the members, Tho society was organized
In the latter part of tho 'SOs nnd soon be
camo a factor In. tho social lite ot tho com
munity. It maintained a clubroom, but tho
most Interesting sessions wcro those held
at Seymour park, tho homo of Dr. Miller,
whero ho ond Mrs. Miller wero never so
well pleased ns when entertaining tho boys
of Omuhn.
Society Still FlxUta.
Tho society has never gono out.ot exist
ence, but becaino Innctlvo In ISM, other
matters occupying the tlmo of tho mem
bers. Recently, however. It entered tho
mind of several members that within
two years thero would bo a semi-centennial
for Omaha, tho city having been
founded In 1S54. It was urged that
no organization could tako tho po
sition in preparing for this anniver
sary that could bo taken by tho Sons of
Omaha. Tho matter was brought to tho
attention of tho president of tho society,
Victor B. Caldwell, who Is now considering
tho matter of Inaugurating steps for re
organization. Under tho rules to be eligible to member
ship In tho society tho applicant must havo
been a native of the city or Omaha, whoso
parents camo to tho city beforo tho year
1S71. This rulo will permit tho membership
nt this tlmo to somewhat moro than 100
persons now residing In tho city. Ten
year's ago tho membership waB about fifty.
According to tho piesenr plans, when tho
president has conferred with the former
members ho will Issue a call requesting all
thoso who wero formerly connected with
tho order to meet nnd to bring with them
tho name of each person known to them to
Bo ellgiblo to, membership, and taking

lection of historical papers.
