"A rook ptlo la going to be working here
krlthln a short time," remarked Chairman
Kaason of the lire and police board, after,
lie had.tnada hla regular Inspection of the
jail yesterday.
Continuing, . Masnon said at this
time, of year the city waa filling up with
vagrants and he considers the beat way to
lid the city of thla undesirable class Is to
put them to work. Chief Brlggs suggested
a lot of broken stone was needed for street
repairs and Mr. Slusson fell into the Idea
right away. . He said stone would be or
dored and placed on a pile and the pris
oners charged with city offences would be
sent to the pile to break stone Instead of
' being permitted to remain In Jail and do
nothing. Since the rock pile was abolished
some months ago those arrested for vag
rancy were either given permission to de
part Immediately or take a sentence In
either the city or county Jail.
'TVlth, a rock pile the police hope to do
away with a great many petty crooks, who
will give the city a wide berth In preference
p to running the chances of service on the
rock pile. Saturday night seven vagrants
were picked, up and-when they made the
assertion they would not work, the plan
waa framed at once to see that they did
work and earn their board.
. Alleys Still Dirty.
Complaints have been made recently to
the city etflclals about ,the dirty condition
of alleys In the downtown district. This
condition la explained 'la a measure by the
' fact that those having the hauling of gar.
bago have plenty of orders ahead, but are
Hot able at this time to remove the refuse.
It Is the same old story of . the road to
the river. It haa been washed out again.
Tuesday the street department proposed
going over the road and fixing It up so that
garbage wagons may be able to reach the
dumping grounds. As It Is now a team can
not reach the bank of the river until the
city mends the road.
Tuesday Night's Meetings.
Three meetings are billed for the coun
cil chamber Tuesday night. - The council,
which Is supposed to have something to
say, will meet this evening and adjourn
until Tuesday night. Then comes the meet
ing of the Are and police board In the
same room for Tuesday night. Last of all
Is David Anderson's call for a mass meet
ing for the same chamber Tuesday night.
Chairman Masson of the fire and police
board Is willing to waive the regular meet
ing night of the board on account of the
council meeting, but the council will hardly
waive, so the mass meeting probably will
be postponed until later In the week.
Memorial Services field.
Phil Kearney post No. 2, Grand Army of
the Republic, held Memorial day services
at the Baptist church, Twenty-fifth and
H streets yesterday afternoon. Members
of the post met at the tw?.l and marched
to the church. Rev. George Van Winkle de
livered the address. The services were
similar to those usually held on Memorial
day. This morning at 9 o'clock the post
members and the Woman's Relief corps
will meet at Masonlo hall and march to
Laurel Hill cemetery, , where Rev. M. A.
Head and Rev. Leander Lane will deliver
addresses. Following the addresses the
graves of soldiers and sailors will be decor
ated. Mike Hansea Dies Suddenly.
Mike Hansen, a well known bartender
who worked In the Third ward, died at
the South Omaha hospital yesterday fore
noon. - Hansen had been taken into the
custody of the police Thursday, principally
on account of his drinking habits. Batur.

better to remove the man to the hospital,
The remains are now at Heafy's under

Setting- Motor Poles.
Poles for the stringing of wire on South
Thirteenth street line are being set. The

for the extension . of the tracks has been

line look for car service within the next

SEEKS MOTHER AND SISTER
Boy ArroiUd Tells Fathetio Tale at the
Gitj Jail.
LEFT BY PARENTS AT AGE OF NINE
Father and Mother Separated and Re
and His Sister Were Cared for
by the Children's Horn
i
Soelety,
Separated from his mother and younger
sister when 9 year old, C. A. Brown, a
former Omaha boy who was arrested Sat
urday night on the charge of vagrancy,
told the police the story of his life and
the search he has made for his missing
relatives.
Brown Is 19 years of age now and came
to Omaha with Gentry Bros.' circus, leav
ing it on his arrival here for the purpose
of trying to locate his folks. According to
his story he waa born In Omaha somewhere
Hn the neighborhood of Twenty-first snd
Pratt streets, and was, taken in charge by
the Nebraska Children's Home society In
stitute, owing to hla mother and father
separating. He remembers nothing of his
father, but knows the name he bears waa
his mother's maiden name and not his
proper name. When 9 years old the so
ciety placed him on a farm at Fairmont
with a farmer named Burgesa His sis
ter, 4 years old, was placed on an adjoin
ing farm at the same time.
He said he corresponded with hla mother
for two years, but lost track of her by be
ing suddenly removed to Exeter, Neb., by
the society, which placed him In charge
of a liveryman named J. P. Brown. He
said he afterward found out he was moved
because his mother was trying to get him
back. For the next few years he was con
stantly being moved from one place to
another, and expected the same was being
done with his sister, for he lost track of
her and did not receive any replies from
her when ho wrote.
When 16 years old he ran away from his
employer and since then has wandered
nearly all over this western country, trying
to find his little sister and mother, but
without any success.
"I should like to find my little sister,"
he said, "she is only 14 years old now and
I am afraid she Is not being properly
treated. I know by experience that the
life an orphan boy has to lead is not an
easy one and it must be doubly hard on
a girl. I want to And her so I can work
for her and provide a horns for her and
possibly my old mother."
The lad was arrested in company with
two others while sleeping In some hay In
the north bottoms. His intelligent face
and general bearing Induced Captain
Mostyn to get blm into conversation and
cross-examination proved the story was
not told merely to gain sympathy. What
he remembered of hla former life he told
In a straightforward way and mentioned
the name of Elmer P. Qtilvey as the man
who took him from his mother. Jtfr.
Qulvey is at present the head of the Ne
braska Chlldren'a Home society, and there
seems no doubt that be was interested in
the case.
The police recall a Mrs. Brown who was
separated from her husband and who lived
in the vicinity of where the boy was born.
tut Lara no knowledfa of her present
whereabouts, as the house where she lived
was removed during the exposition.
CELEB RATI ONFOR EVERYBODY
Dr. Miller Corrects False Impressions
Abont Semi-centennial Jnbllee
Tenth of Jnne.
OMAHA. May 28. To the Editor of The
Bee: Kindly allow roe room in The Bee to
say to whom it may concern that by mis
take In the publication yesterday of the
organization of the semi-centennial cere
monial for June 10 the words "vice presi
dents" at the head of the list of early set
tiers was omitted. I, therefore, respectfully
say that every early settler whose name
appeared in the published list, or that may
be added to it hereafter, will be a vice
president at the great gathering, and all
such are invited and expected to take seats
on the platform in that capacity, accom
panled by their wlvea Badges will be fur
nished for all vice presidents and for the
reception committee.
In aplte of the early and full announce
ment made by the committee and the
proclamation of the governor, not a few
citizens have made the mistake of suppos
ing that this celebration is an early settlers'
arrair. it is nothing of the sort. It Is to
be distinctly a.td broadly a state celebra
tion and all the people who dwell in it
are cordially Invited, without regard to the
time when they came to Nebraska, or to
their age, sex, color or previous condition
of lassitude, to attend It. The false im
pression at this point haa probably arisen
from the fact that the committee deemed
It proper to organize the ceremonial In do
Ing honor to the early settlers of Omaha
and Douglas county by placing them in
poets of honor and including the reserva
tion of seats for their use.
An Omaha editor asks as I write, "Why
didn't the old settlers get their invita
tions?" I will refer this question to the
committee for consideration. It is a pussier
for ma My information is that all early
settler end all new settlers are invited by
what has appeared in the publlo press of
the state, and as everybody ought to know
by this time, to attend this celebration.
Accidents have happened in making up
the lists of the early settlers and many
have neglected to send In their names.
Some are being added to them who have
suddenly discovered that there will be
"something doing" In Omaha on June 10. I
urge all who ere eligible under the rule of
the committee, who have not done so, to
send In their names to me.

Monsson ie Sperlflcallr Mentioned In
Review of the Missouri
Accident.
WASHINGTON, May iO.-General Sec
retary Moody has Issued a general order
containing extracts from the report of the
Missouri court of inquiry, regarding the
conduct of the officers and men at the
time of the accident on board that vessel
April 13, letters from the president to the
Navy department regarding the bravery of
the officers and men of the Missouri, the
extraordinary heroism shown by Chief
Boatswain's Mate M. Monssen and Acting
Gunner R. F. Cox and also a letter from
the president to the department expressing
his satisfaction at the bravery of the chap
lain of the Missouri, Father Gleeson at the
time of the accident
In it Rear Admiral Barker says the dis
aster was appalling, but It developed he
roes; history records no more heroic act
than that of Monssen, who crawled through
a hole in the burning magazine to put out
the flames. The conduct of the captain
and crew was superb, showing excellent dls
clpllne and marked physical courage.
Speaker Cannon has appointed the entire
Pennsylvania state delegation as a com
mittee to represent the house of repre
sentatives at the funeral of the late Sen
ator Quay at Beaver, Pa., Tuesday next.
A special car will be attached to the Penn
sylvania railroad train, leaving Washing
ton at 7:15 p. m., Monday, for the use of
such members of the committees of the
two houses of congress as may be in this
city at that time. Other members will be
met at Pittsburg Tuesday morning and tho
entire congressional party will proceed to
Beaver by special train.
Discussing the prospects for the silk In
dustry, Dr. L. 'M. Howard, the entomolo
gist of the Department of Agriculture, in
an official treatise says:
The department Is justified In its initia
tory effort to create the conditions for a
constant supply of cocoons. It can keep up
its reellna work and thus kecD onen urac-
tically the only market existing at present
tor a perioa wnicn must De aeterminea Dy
the will of congress.
The outlook for what we have termed a
more natural market Is problematical.
There are many portions of the United
States well adapted to silk raising, many
places which might well become silk cen
ters, where labor can be employed prac
tically at rates comparable to those of
soumern curope. rni esramianmeht or a
silk mill In such a .location, with its own
filature attached, with the surrounding peo
ple employed as operatives in both mature
and mills, and with the otherwise unoc
cupied members of their households en-
taged In silk raisins in. the spring, is feaal
1 and can be made to pay.
That In some of those ways the natural
market will come seems possible and even
more than possible. What the success of
silk culture would mean to the United
States Is Indicated by the Importations of
raw silk into the United States during the
years 3892 to 1902.
The ornithologists of the Department of
j Agriculture have been making an investlga-
tlon' of the economlo value of the bob
I white, as a result of which it is. now an
nounced that the bird Is "probably the
most useful ' abundant species on the
farms." Field observations, experiments
and examinations show that it consumes
large quantities of weed seeds and destroys
many of the worst insect pests. Farmers
contend that it does not injure grain, fruit
or any othor crops. It Is figured that from
September 1 to April Jo, annually in Vir
ginia alone the total consumption of weed
seed by bob whites amounts, to S7& tons.
Some of the pests which it habitually de
stroys, the report says, are the Mexican
cotton boll weevil, which damages the cot
ton crop upward of 115,000,000 a year; 'the
potato beetle, which cuts off $10,000,000 from
the value of the potato- crop; the cotton
worms, which have been known to -cause
$90,000,000 loss in a year; 'tho chinch bug
and the Rocky Mountain locust,'' which
leave desolation in their path and have
caused losses to the extent of $100,000,000 In
some years. The report urges measures to
secure the preservation of the bob whites
in this country.
