The "Dandy Sixth" bovs were out
at King Ak-Sar-Ben's "castle last
night, lhey were there in force.
They were there because their uni
forms had not been received last
Monday night, which was the regular
military night.
In fact, some of the boys last night
appeared in the trousers of their civi
lian days combined with the nifty
brown shirts of their soldier davs.
But nitist of them were clad in their
fulf uniforms and looked very well
indeed.
Other guests of the evening were
citizens of Missouri Valley, Tekamah
ana w asnington, most ot whom came
in automobiles.
Soldier and civilian guests alike
were delighted with the exeat mid
way show. Some got shaves from
Ike, the careful toirsorialist and oth
ers tried their muscle, lifting the
heavy weights with the professor.
Applaud Great Spectacle.
The great' spectacle presented upon
the stage was in fine form. And a
feature that called forth tremendous
applause was the substitution of a
band concert for the usual sneakinsr.
The Republc Motor Truck company's
oann, wnicn Happened to be m the city
en tour yesterday, provided the con
cert. The band is fifty strong and
made the old den ring with melody.

membership roll .has passed the mark

Men Called to Snelling

Captain James C. Long, of, the en
gineer officers' reserve corps lias
called a meeting of all Nebraskans
ordered to the second training camp
at Fort Snelling. It is to be held
Wednesday, August 22 at 7:30 p. m.,
in the city council chamber.
Additional ground adjacent to Fort

. merits can be made with the owners.
I'he government wants this additional
ground for smarting and landing sta
tions for the balloon school at the
fort. ,
President Randal K. Brown, Execu
tive Chairman C. C. George and Com
missioner Robert. I L. Mauley of the
Commercial club were at the fort
Monday afternoon going over the
situation with Major Hersey. The
; club will bend every effort to assist
the ' government in finding suitable
ground adjacent the fort for this pur-
'pose.
Army men say it will not take much
ground, but that small tracts for this
. purpose are needed in connection
with the big building and development
program planned at the fort, as an
nounced by General Squier when he
was in Omaha inspecting the work at
the fort Sunday.
Councilmen Are Told
Of Omaha Paving Errors'
Much of the unwarranted deterior
ation ot paving in Omaha is due to
incapable or improper inspection by
city inspectors. A marked improve
ment has been noted during the last
lew years.
Those are conclusions embodied in1
a report submitted to the city council
by R.-ndall K. Brown, W. B. Cheek, !
f. w. fitch and K. I. Sutton, ren-
resenting the Commercial club. Oma-
Lha Automobile club. Federation of
Improvement clubs and United Im-i

riving here, he joined the United
States army, Fourteenth infantry, as
soon as lie could, lie served four
years and was on the border much
of the time.
"I noticed the men closely down
there," he said. "The Americans are
high strung and will do things in a
hurry. They will do splendid feats
of daring at the fiont and will learn
quickly, once they get into actual
fighting.
"The Hollanders, for instance, are
slower to start though they are regu
lar fools for fighting once they get
going. Fire a cannon behind a com
pany of Dutch soldiers and not one
will bat an eye."
"But fire one behind an American
company and every man will jump.
This high tension will nut life into
the fighting ranks abroad."
Chooses Own Men.
Captain Risch's company is one of
the most interesting in the whole Ne
braska brigade. Most of the men
have been personally chosen bv him
and there are a larae nronortion of
foreign birth, or at least foreign de
scent.
"There arc Bohemians, Russians,
jTi
Poles, Lithuuians, F.ngllsh and Ameri
cans m our company," he said. "And
don't forget the Irish!" as he glanced
at a rfd-headed sergeant with twink
ling eyes who stood by. All arc de
voted to Captain Risch whom they
vote ' a good scout."
Many men in Company D speak
several languages. Captain Risch
himself speaks English, German,
Spanish, Dutch and French.
"But that's nothing," lie says. "My
dad speaks four,teen."
Captain Risch is the only one of his
family in America. After he had been
here awhile he thought it a "foolish
notion" to have come. Then he met
an Omaha girl and at once he knew
why he had come to America. He
1ias a wife and babv toeave behind
when he goes out to fight again.
Captain Risch had one brother in
the Dutch navy, now dead. His only
remaining brother is a tea planter
in the Dutch East Indies, who will
be in Omaha within a month and who
is scheduled to speak at the Commer
cial club then.
Two Are Charged With
Possession of Liquor
Jack Wolf, proprietor of a tax
stand at 1505 Farnam street, and Roy
rsronson, laborer, 41" hrskme street,
were arrested last nurht at Seven
teenth and Capitol avenue by Sergeant
ivusseii ana Utlicers Anderson and
Cunningham, charged with illegal pos
session ot intoxicating liquor. Wolf,
police say, was cauht in the act of
selling a pint of whisky to Bronson
for $.1.50. When searched the officers
found fifteen pints of whisky hidden
under the seat of Wolf's cat;.
Two charges were entered against
Wolf, illegal possession of intoxicat
ing liquor, and the sale of same.
