Why Not Go to C.llfornlar
Here's a suggestion for a holiday
trip:
Buy a round-trip ticket to San Fran-
! cisco at the reduced rates which will
1 be in effect on account of the Epworth
League meeting in that city in July
go west by way of Denver and Salt
Lake City, past all the glorious moun
tain scenery of Colorado and Utah
tpend a few weeks in California
come home via Portland. Seattle. Ta-
coma, Spokane and Billings, Mont.
If you. have time, stop off and see
lellowstone Fark. A month is suffi
cient for the entire trip. In that time
you will see more than most people do
in a lifetime.
And the expense is almost unbeliev
ably small.
Write for a copy of the Burlington's
Epworth League folder, which tells all
about it gives you Just the informa
tion you need about rates, routes,
through cars, scenery, stop-overs, etc.

The expedient of allowing a carrier
pigeon, alleged to have been stolen.
to fly away from The court in order
that its home might be known, was
adopted in East Orange, N. J., the
ether day, with such success that Geo.
Dennett was held for the grand jury
en a charge of larceny. He had been
accused of stealing game cocks and
a homing pigeon frm Robert Kuraig,
but the evidence was so conflicting
that it was decided to send the pigeon
cut and see where it went. A feather

The Nebraska Boy and Others "Want
Back to West Point.
ONLY WAY nt CAN BE REINSTATED
The Tonne; Nebraska n sod Other Cadets
Claim They Are the Victims of In
justice Aa Appeal for Oberance of
Flag Day la Nebraska Other Newa.
WASHINGTON. May 29. Henry L.
Bowlby of Nebraska, one of the five
cadets recently dismissed from West
Point Military academy for alleged in
subordination, came to Washington
with his classmates who were dismiss
ed with him, and had an interview
with Secretary Root.
Cadet Bowlby,- who was appointed
to West Point by Congressman Stark,
is a likely young fellow and looks
every inch a soldter. He refused to
say anything about the trouble at
West Point, except to say that the sen
tence was exceptional in its severity
and he hoped it would be remanded.
The dismissed cadets claim that they
have been tried and condemned with
out a hearing and without knowing
the testimony against them or having
an opportunity to reply to it.
Senator Hawley of Connecticut and
Cockrell of Missouri are Interested In
the case and called upon Secretary
Root in behalf of the young men, who,
besides Bowlby, are John A. Cleve
land of Alabama, T. K. Keller of New
York, Raymond A. Linton of Michigan
and B. O. Mahaffey of Texas.
Senators Hawley of Connecticut and
senate committee on military affairs,
and who has had much to do with
drafting legislation for West Point,
believes the case should be reopened,
but the law officers of the department
who have looked into the matter say
there is no way in which the dismissed
cadets can be restored to the academy
save by reappointment through a rep
resentative of the district to which
each is accredited.
J , MIST PAY FOR COUNTY FAIRS.
Commissioners Hare No Discretion Cadet
the Statutes.
UNCOLN, May 27. In an opinion
handed down in a case brought up
from Butler county the supreme court
declares that county boards have only
ministerial power in the payment of
the amount allowed by statute to
county agricultural societies. The sum
is determined on the basis of 3 cents
for each inhabitant of the county, and
according to the decision just an
nounced, the societies can invoke man
damus to compel payment without
awaiting the dilatory course of legis
Iation.
In the case in question the county
agricultural society, after complying
with all the requirements of the
statute, requested the board of super
visors to draw a warrant for the
amount due it. The board refused.
The society immediately asked the dis
trict court for a writ of mandamus
compelling the supervisors to pay the
claim. This wa3 refused and the so
ciety appealed.
In the supreme court the attorneys
for the county argued that mandamus
should not issue for the reason that.
the board acted, not in a ministerial,
but in its discretionary capacity. The
association contended that, under the
statutes, no discretionary power is al
lowed the board when the association
has once complied with the require
ments of the law and that the board
must act In a purely ministerial ca
pacity. The court upheld this view
and gave judgment accordingly.
TO CELEBRATE FLAG DAY.
General Order No. 3 Issued to the Grand
Army of the Republic.
LINCOLN, Neb., May 29. In general
order No. 2, issued by the Nebraska
department of the Grand Army of the
Republic, an urgent appeal is made
for the observance of June 14 as "Flag
day," that being the one hundred and
twenty-fourth anniversary of the
birthday of the United States fiag. The
order is as follows:
"Headquarters Department of Ne
braska, Grand Army of the Republic,
Lincoln, Neb., May 27. General Order
No. 2. Comrades: On the 14th day
of June will occur the one hundred
and twenty-fourth anniversary of the
birthday of the United States flag
the only flag that has written upon it,
"Liberty, Fraternity and Equality,"
three grandest words in all the
language of men; a flag that was
given to the air in the .revolution's
darkest days. It represents the suffer
ing of the past, the glories yet to be,
and like the bow of heaven, it is the
child of storm and sun. It means that
the school house is the fortress of
liberty and that the continent has
been dedicated to freedom.
Therefore, let every comrade dis
play the flag on his own house and
place of business and also to use his
utmost endeavor to have all his
neighbors and fellow townsmen do
likewise. Furnish every member of
the school with flags, so that this day
may be one always to be kept bright
in their memories. Where schools
are not closed let the teachers and
children meet and carry out the pro
gram as outlined in the 'Address to
the American People.'
"Let our colors fly, boys;
Guard them day and night;
For victory is liberty
And God will bless the right."
"R. S. WILCOX,
"Department Commander.

"MART HOWE, Adjutant."
Moi'c Galore.
It will be furnished all during the
month of June at Omaha, when the
celebrated Bellstedt band will give
fifty-six concerts under auspices of the
Omaha Musical Festival association.
Entertainments take place twice each
day in a big tent specially spread for
the purpose.

LINCOLN, May 29. The capitol
building will soon be supplied with
fresh artesian water from the state's
own well. A large force of men is at
work on the capitol grounds, near the
steam heating plant, boring the wells
and one shaft has already been low
ered 125 feet below the surface. At a
depth of forty feet the diggers struck
solid sand rock. The contractor ex
pects to obtain fresh water in unlimit
ed quantity at a depth of 150 feet.
CROP PROSPECTS IN NEBRASKA.
Conditions Generally Regarded as of a
Favorable Character.
LINCOLN, May 27. Following !3
the last weather and crop bulletin:
The past week has been warm and
dry, with about the normal amount of
sunshine. The daily mean tempera
ture has averaged about 6 degrees
above the normal. No unusually high
or low temperature occurred during
the week.
The rainfall has been below normal
generally. The amount was about or
slightly above one-half an inch in a
few of the southern counties of the
southeastern section, but generally it
was less than .30 of an inch, and in a
large part of the northern and western
portions of the state it was less than
.10 of an inch.
Wheat, oats and grass continue in
good condition, but in some places lack
of moisture has retarded growth, and
generally at the end of the week more
rain would be beneficial to these crops.
Chinch bugs are doing some damage
in wheat fields in central and western
counties. Corn planting has progress
ed rapidly, and the bulk of the crop
is now planted In central and southern
counties. The early planted corn Is
coming up, generally slowly, and in
some instances unevenly. Fruit con
tinues to promise a good crop.

Latest Quotations from South Oinkbs
and Kansas Cltr.
SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle There was a good run of cattle
for the first of the week, but there did
not appear to be more than packers want
e1. They started out early and bought
tip practically everything offered Jn good
season at Just about last week's prices.
There was a good run of steers and the
quality of the offerings as a whole was
very good. While the market was not
particularly active, still the cattle began
moving toward the scales at an early hour
and it was not long before the bulk of
the cattlt? were out of first hands. As a
general thing the market looked just
about steady with the clo.se of last week,
particularly on the better grades. Thu
few cows and heifers offered were picked
up in good season at practically Bteady
prices all around. Packers were all lib
eral buyers of cow stuff and as a result
tho prices being paid are satisfactory to
the selling interests. Bulls were In light
receipt and anything at all good met with
ready sale at steady prices. The same
was true of calves and stags.
Hogs There ws a pretty fair run o?
hogs and the market opened weak to 21ic
lower. The long string sold at $5.60, with
the bulk going from $5.57',i to $5.60. The
choice heavy hogs sold from $5.62Va to
$5.70 and the light weights from $5.57Vi
down. It was not a particularly active
market, but still the bulk of the hogs
was out of first hands In fairly good sea
! son. As the mnrnlnc KiH-nnivil th mar
ket seemed to weaken, as reports from
other markets were rather bearish, and
the close for that reason was slow and
weak.
Sheep The receipts of sheep and lambs
were rather light and as the demand was
in good shape the market ruled strong
and active all around. The prices paid,
did not show much change from last
week. Colorado wooled Iambs sold as
high as $5.60. clipped Iambs sold at $4.83
and clipped wethers reached $1.40. It was
an active market and as there were only
a few cars offered the market soon came
to a close.
