O. Dorcas of .Lodl, Utah, who passed through the city yesterday, on his way vto central Illinois, where hs hopes to find some of the friends of his boyhood day a While, at the Union station waiting for an east bound train, Mr. Dorcas, now 82 years of age, but as keen of eye as when a boy and as active as a man of 35 years, recounted some of the Incidents of pioneering. Sixty-five years ago last fall, as a boy 18 year, of age, with a party, oi emigrants from central Illinois, I came to Council Bluffs, which I think was called Kanevlllet We remained there a short time and then came over to this side of the river, ferrying the teams and wagons over on a flat boat that had been built by some emigrants the prev ious summer. Getting to uls ot the river, we went up the river .six miles to Florence, where we remained during the winter. .Mormons at Florence. Florence was then a place of probably 600 to 800 people, most of them living In little log cabins, though there were many who lived In tents along the river. It was a Mormon colony, most of the members of which had been driven from Illinois by a band of fanatics, who op posed free speech. I had joined the Mormon church in Illinois, so I at once became a part of the colony at Florence. . "The winter that I remained at Flor ence was a very severe one and while none of the settlers died of cold, there was much suffering. The places in which the families lived were poorly, con structed and the conveniences were not of the best Late in the winter, small box broke out in the settlement and It proved fatal ln many Instances, Before spring many fresh graves appeared on the hill side, north of the creek that run. east through the old town. ; "The spring of 1848 we started out for j the west, hardly knowing where we were going, though ' explorers nad been out the previous year and selected the Bait Lake valley as the haven for all Mor mons to seek. Goes West ln 1848. "Being young and - strong . sixty-four years ago, I was able to cope with the greatest of hardships and due to my great strength and good health I attri bute the fact of being here at this time. think I was among the first who started west In the spring of 1848. It was called a wagon train, but I don't think there were to exceed thirty wagons. 8ome of these were hauled by oxen and some by horses. It was early In April and the feed on the prairie was poor. As a result the animals grew thin rap Idly and before we had gone 100 miles, the team, were reduced to not more than ; fifteen. In our party I think there were close to 800 people. None of them rode in the wagons except the small children and the women who were sickly. The rest trailed along the side of the train, or behind, pushing .mall carts ln which was carried food and clothing. Trip Most Severe. Tne tnp across the Bait lake was a hard one, and we were eighty-five days on the road. There were many deaths due to disease and privations and the bodies of those who succumbed, were burled by the roadside, - boards being erected, telling who slept beneath. Of the 300 In the party, I don't think to exceed 190 -ever reached the destination. There were close to seventy-five died and the others dropped out, deserted, turning back, or going south Into the Santa Fe country. The Indians were trouble some to some extent We were never at tacked by them, but at times they ran off our stock and carried away our pro visions. When we went through the first time, there was not a white man between the Missouri river and Salt lake, except now and then a trapper living on some of the streams, or occasionally one living with the Indians, having married into the tribes. It was a wild country. About the only living things we saw were Indians and buffalo and of the latter there appeared to be millions. From a few miles west of Omaha, all up through the Platte valley, there was not a day when we did not pass through herds of buffalo." College Lads Pay Own Way By Working in Harvest Fields "The man who follows harvesting as a business and saves his money, makes as much during the four months of June, July, August and September, as the aver age city man who works on a salary the year 'round and be has a good time, too," said L. M. Edwards, a farmer of Ran dolph, Neb., who was ln the city Sunday, at the Merchants. , "With me right at this time." continued Mr. Edwards, "I have a couple of college boy., T. B. Monroe and C. D. Weeks, both of whom will be juniors ln the Mis souri university next year. They are fine young fellows, intelligent industrious and provident They are making their own way through the school and when they go back this fall, they will have enough money to run them the whole year. . "When school closed last June, Monroe and Weeks started for Texas and got ln right on top of the harvest which they have been following ever since. They tell me that they started in the grain fields at $3.60 per day and board and have not missed a day since except when moving forward to catch up with the work ahead of them. They harvested all the way up through Oklahoma, Kan sas and into Nebraska. I have had both of them for two weeks, paying them $3.75 per day. I will finish next week and from my place they will -ship Into the central portion of South .Dakota, work there a couple of weeks and then pull on into North Dakota, working there and then going to the British northwest. where they will find work at top wages until at least the middle of September, when they will make a long Jump and be at home ln time to start on the school year at the beginning, of the term. "When the boys get . home they will have worked close to 100 days and will have not less than $250, .each, which Is pretty good for three month, and much better than they could do clerking In stores or working around town."

In a financial way the festival of the Saengerbund la St Paul was far below the Omaha convention of two years ago, according to members of Omaha German singing societies who attended both.. . Musically the St Paul Saengerbund was a success," said Robert C Strehlow on hlt return yesterday, "but financially tha meeting was a failure." Omaha . made a. great Impression there," he declared," particularly the Comcordla ladies. They were the only women who took part ln the festival appearing at the matlnes and -drawing the best crowds. As a whole he festival was very poorly attended, but the Omaha women brought out the largest audiences, when they sang at the matinees. It seemed to me that the fes tival was very poorly managed. It had not been .given enough advertising before its start, and the arrangements were not made with enough precuslon,' the program being rather strung along ln a haphasard way. "We were asked if we did not want the next festival held ln Omaha," said Strehlow, "and we told them we did not I thought It would not be well to. hold It ln the same city too often. It would have made too much work and would have been too soon after the last one, I thought The next festival will be held ln Denver three years hence. Many of the singers want It there at that time so they can get rates to attend he ex position at San Francisco." On arriving in St Paul, the Omaha delegation in which were representatives of Carroll and Manning, la. and Grand Island. Hastings and Stanton, was given a great reception, a Dana irom iuuiu City headed their parade to the audi, torlum while great crowds gathered to watch them. It was a great advertise ment for Omaha, say the delegate, who returned yesterday. Omaha also received much applause ln the parade Saturday, when the singers marched about Bt Pauf before going to the island for their picnic. The local singers probably made greater impression than any ot tne Aihtv.five vereins ln the northwest which attended the festival. Peter Laux of Omaha was re-elected vice-president with the older officers who were re-elected. Most of th Omaha delegation returned home on the Northwestern train at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. Some malned In St Paul and others went on fishing expeditions on the Great lakes. Foursome play, medal handicap, for the C S.

PICKPOCKETS PROVE SPEEDIEST Head of Department ot PabUe Im provements Couldn't Come Back as Sprinter, bat Qualifies as Classle HlsTh Jumper. City Commissioner McGovern. head ot the department of public improvements, oouldn't come back as a sprinter last night although he leaped from a fast moving Dodge street car and gave two frifiXened "dips" an opportunity to qualify as Marathon possibilities. Mr. McGovern was riding on the Dodge car early last night Two suave gentle men were on the same car, which was crowded, and belonging to the profession of petty pickpockets they sought to ply their trade. ' , Now It happens that "Mac" has a keen eye, trained in the lean days when he was a newsboy and nothing blurred by the passing years and the tat Job to which people have elected him. HI. glance fell casually upon the pair. Then he saw the two exchange knowing glances and beheld their slender fingers sliding into the pocket, of a fellow passenger. "Cut it out!" tha commissioner said. This sudden speech frightened the dips." They sprang up and ran with unholy haste down the aisle, but Mc Govern grabbed them both at one and the same time. They fought desperately and while the other mile passengers looked, on ln bewilderment escaped the official's clutches and jumped straight out into the night McGovern heard one of them groan as he rolled over on the pavement The other had landed on his feet and was fleeing toward liberty with reckless speed. Straight out Into the night McGovern also Jumped. The car ripping along at a lively gait but the agile Irishman hit the pavement in proper position, and fast as he could operate went right after the "dips," who had gained a block lead. That block was the only thing that prevented the capture of the pickpockets, McGovern declares, and even with a block lead he maintains he would have pulled them down in a stralght-away. But the ways beyond the Dodge street car line at that hour of the night are dark and devious and the dips escaped Mr McGovern felt like apologizing to the police when he reported the adven ture, but they told him frankly that mighty few men who bear blue coats, with brass buttons and carry a star would have made that flying leap. In reply the commissioner pointed out that he was young and slender and grace ful, while the majority of the cops are getting along In years and have widened at the bait during their opulent days on the force. Couldn't Both Be Christians. In a Kansas town where two brothers are engaged in, the retail coal business a revival was recently held and the elder of the brothers was converted. For weeks the brother who had "got religion" tried to pursuade the other to join the church. One day he asked: "Why can't you Join the church like I did 7" . ,.
