South Oamlia was visited by hundreds of
citizens of Omaha yc.itcrrlny. The majority
of them came down by utreet car , whlla maiiy
drove down In their carriages. "Camp John
ston , " BO named In honor of the mayjr , at
the went end of tha Q street viaduct , was
the chief center of attraction. The four
companies now detailed are comfortably
quartered there. They have their sleeping
tents and one largu tent that was Intended
for the mess house , but , according to con
tract , the men arc taking their meals at the
hotel.
At the grounds yesterday hundreds called
to meet old friends or to Inquire
of friends who live In the towns
the companies como from. The mllltla boys
nro all sociable. They received all visitors
In n cordial manner and left an Impression
with those who had considered the mllltla
"kids" that they were gentlemen , and above
the average at that.
LOYAL TO KULLEriTON.
The company from Fullerton Is composed
of thirty genial and Intelligent young men.
They are especially proud of their homo town
and did not overlook any chance yesterday
to advertise their town. "We've got the
liveliest town In the state , " said ono of the
boys , "and arc spending more msney on public
Improvements than any town In Nebraska.
Contracts have been let to build a water and
electric light plant , and five new business
blocks will be built this summer and fall. "
The grounds chosen for the mllltla arc as
convenient as any that could have been se
lected. Tents for the four companies have
been comfortably arranged and the view of
all the packing houses from Camp Johnston
Is excellent.
Inasmuch as all of the packing houses were
running yesterday the companies were out
to do their protective duty at an early hour
In the morning. They patrolled all the dis
tricts where there was any prospect cf a
clash , but nothing occurred to cause even
an arrest. It was the same way last evening
between G and 7 o'clock. The companies
drilled out and were stationed at quarters
In different parts of the city , but there was
not an opportunity for a single arrest dur
ing the entire evening.
MOHB CHICAGO UUTCHEUS.
It was about -I o'clock In the afternoon
when fifteen butchers from Chicago come
down on the motor car and with their grips
In their hands , chaperoned by a clerk from
Cudahy's , marched from Twenty-fourth and
N streets direct to the packing house. Some
of the gang stopped to get n drink at what
they considered the "last chance , " but It
happened to be n saloon conducted by a
union butcher and the men did not get what
they wanted.
The order for all the militiamen to move
to Lincoln on Tuesday has not been changed.
Major Rccd was In charge of the troops
last evening , as all of the higher officials had
gene nway.
Colonel William Dlshoff's father of Ne
braska City was a guest at Camp Johnston
last evening.
The Cudnhy company says : "The report
circulated by the strikers that men we have
been feeding and lodging In the plant since
the strike began had $4.50 per week deduc'od
from their pay Is without any foundation
whatever. We have boarded and lodged all
men entirely at our own. expense andj have
made no deduction from their pay : " ' ' '
A similar statement has been made by
the Omaha Packing company.
LABOR DAY ARRANGEMENTS.
Will Ilo No Disappointment In the Char-
aoti'r of HID Culubratlon.
Unless all signs fail , Omaha will be treated
to tho. grandest Labor day celebration this
year ever witnessed In this city.
The committee held another meting yester
day and the reports of the subcommittees
show the work to bo going on In good style
and the members of the committee say that
the prospects were nsver brighter hero for a
mammoth celebration and picnic than at the
present time.
A committee , consisting of Messrs. Beer-
man , . Sebrlng and Meyer , was appointed to
get prices on music and report at the next
meeting of the general committee. The com
mittee on speakers reported that It was un-
nblo to secure Samuel Gompers for an ad-
drsss , but felt pretty sure that Eugene V.
Debs and Thomas I. Kldd would come to
Omaha on Labor day to speak. Mr. Kldd Is
general secretary of the National Machine
Wood Workers union and Js said to bo a
splendid labor orator.
A number of the assistant marshals hnve
not reported , and the committee desires their
presence at the meeting on August 20 , when
they will begin the work of preparing * the
program. The features of the day In general
will consist of a grand parade In the morn
ing through the principal streets of the city
and a line of sports at Syndlcato park In the
afternoon. Two largo beeves will bo roasted

A motor car on the West Leavenworth
street line Jumped the track at the foot of
the hill at Thirty-fifth street at 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon , turned a sharp angle ,
plunged through the curb and sidewalk and
landed on the edge of a twenty-foot embank
ment , with the front platform and two wheels
swinging In the air. The car was loaded to
Its ulmcst capacity with two ball teams and
their friends. When It Jumped the track
there was a wild scramble for the doors ,
but In the Jam nobody escaped until the car
had como to a standstill. Motorman limner ,
Jim lUuilsoo-llkc , stuck to his post and held
the brake tight against the wheels until
every passenger had escaped , and then ho
Jumped from his swfng'ng platform to solid
ground. iho curbstones were broken to
pieces , the sidewalk wrecked and the wooden
paving blocks torn up. The wreck was
caused by mud packed betwenn the rails and
pavement. If the car had gene two feet
farther there would undoubtedly have been
a number of fatalities.

the company was organized to tour the

entertainment and several of the features
were more meritorious than those of more
pretentious entertainments. A number of
fairly good song and dance specialties were
Introduced which met with unqualified ap

were a little tame at times , but they were
uniformly well received and the audience ,
which was of good proportions for a summer

The Hock Island road brought In an ex
cursion from town yesterday.
The aeronaut last night came down on the
top of the Ice houses on the north side of
Ccurtland lake. This Is the second time this
has occurred this season , while It happened
only once last season.
The great animal trainers , D'Osta , his
wife , I'aullnc Nairn and I'rof. Hlccardo , with
the lions and leopards , after having finished
a four weeks' cngagsment at Courtlund ,
leave tomorrow for Toledo.
Agnew's Juvenile band of Creston , la. ,
accompanied the Chicago , Durl.ngton &
Qulucy excursion to Courtland beach yester
day and rendered several selections while
stationed on the second story of the switch
back.
The three little lions that were born at
Courtland on Saturday could not be placed
on exhibition yesterday for the reason that
their mother refused to allow them to bo
removed from the closed cage In which they
were born.
It was expected that the mother of the
cub lions would perform yesterday , but she
could not be Induced to leave her young
ones to enter the cage with the other two
large lions. After fighting against being re
moved to the large cage for over an hour ,
U'Osta , the trainer , finally concluded to
allow her to remain with her three little
ones , who were born on Saturday.
Those who failed to attend the afternoon
performances of the lions missed one of the
greatest exhibitions of Its kind that has
ever been seen In Omaha. Mr. D'Osta , who
has been In charge of these animals , entered
the cage with the lions on a number of after
noons , taking the place of his wife , Pauline
Nana , and on these occasions the exhibitions
Wcro very fine and highly appreciated. He
puts a great deal more life Into the perform
ance than does his wife , but the whip he
uses is considerably larger than hers.
Yesterday was the eighty-ninth day since
Courtland beach opened the season. During
this time Dan Darnell , the aeronaut , has
made fifty-four successful balloon ascen
sions and as many parachute Jumps at Court-
land. This Is perhaps as.good a record as
can be shown by any aeronaut this season.
The balloon has gone up every evening and
twice on Sundays , except when the wind was
too strong to allow of the balloon being In .
flated without danger. Two ascensions , how
ever , were lost on account of the balloon
being out of repair.
Sebastian Miller , the modern Samson , begins
a week's engagement this evening. This Is
the greatest attraction yet given at the
beach. Miller breaks stones of from one to
ten pounds with his bare fist quicker than
an ordinary person can with a hammer , and
he challenges the blacksmiths of Omaha tea
a test. He also offers $25 to any person
whom he cannot throw In a Cracco-Homan
wrestling In fifteen minutes. Ho Js the
clmjnplon strong man of the world , and
gives an exhibition of lifting heavy weights ,
etc. , which Is said to be unusually fine.

The battle of Gettysburg Is not to bo fought
over again , but the union and confederate
Hues arc to bo occupied by armed men en
camped as In actual warfare , and skirmishes
are to be had on the historic ground.
The state of Pennsylvania has the largest
and most complete military establishment
In the republic. An army carps of 10,000
men , armed and equipped for genuine field
service , can bo mobilized by Pennsylvania
and massed for the defense of the national
capital Inside of twenty-four hours at any
time. The mllltla of the Keystone state arc
thoroughly drilled soldiers , and are accus
tomed to perfect discipline.
There Is to bo a division encampment of
the National Guard of Pennsylvania at Get
tysburg In the near future and great prepara
tions are being made for It by the state au
thorities. The encampment will continue
eight days , and will be formally opened on
August 11. Lieutenant Colonel Charles S.
Greene of Philadelphia will be provost mar
shal during the encampment. President
Cleveland , Secretary Lament and other mem
bers of the president's cabinet , General Scho-
flcld , major general commanding the United
States army , together with other prominent
regular army olllcers , will be present at least
one day as the guests of Adjutant General
Greenland and review the troops.
Captain Alexander Ilodgers , Fourth cavalry ,
United States army , wnosu wite is a daughter
of Senator Cameron , has been detailed by the
Fecre'ary of war to attend the encampment
and perform such duty as may bo required
of him by Governor Pattlson.
The encampment will cost the state about
$200,000. Of this $140,000 will be for pay of
the troops and the balance for transportation ,
subsistence , horse hire , quartermasters' stores
and Incidentals.
The division headquarters will occupy the
summit of Seminary lUdge , near the spot
where General Lee witnessed Plckctt's
famous charge.
The cavalry and artillery will be detached
from the brigades and will be formed Into
provisional battalions , under command of the
superior ofliccrs respectively. They will oc
cupy the ground along the union line on the
Codorl farm , between the Emmetsburg road
and Hancock avenue. This part of the field
Is known as the Bloody Angle and Is directly
In front of the place where Plckctt's charge
ended. The United States artillery and cav
alry will be encamped In the Immediate vi
cinity.
All the rest of the troops will be stationed
along the confederate line of battle. The
First brigade will pitch Its tent at the south
ern end of the camp ground. Two regiments
will be stationed near Spangler's woods and
two others In the rear of the confederate line
of battle , near Seminary nidge. The Second
brigade will occupy the two slopes of Sem
inary Ridge , with four regiments on the
west side and the other two on the east.
The 'headquarters of General Wiley , com
mander of the brigade , will bo directly east
of division headquarters. The Third brigade
will bo compact , andill be lo
cated on the Codorl farm , on the
ground where Plckett's division was massed
before making the charge. The parade , re
view and drill grounds will be In front of the
camp and will extend to the Emmetsburg
road.
road.Tho three divisions of the naval reserves ,
two battalloiiB of which are located In Phil
adelphia and the other In Pittsburg , will go
Into camp on August G at League island
navy yard.
Secretary Herbert has detailed the United
States cruiser New York to report at the
Island on August 8 to glvo the reserves a
three days' tour In the open sea. On the
13th the reserves will break camp at League
Island and proceed to Gettysburg , where they
will be Stationed until the encampment
closes. They will bo Inspected and mus

A MESSAGE FROM SHERMAN.
While we were eating a whistle blew. It
was from a little tugboat that had steamed
Its way up the swollen and dangerous river
from Wilmington. H passed the enemy
hidden on eltner bank. It was the first
sound from the north heard since the army
left the ocean. No one In all the north
knew where Sherman's army was. Rumors
brought from the suth said It was "floun- !
derlng and perishing In the swamps of the :
Carollnas. " That day the general dl- '
reeled me to board th.s tugboat , run down
the river In the night and carry dis
patches to General Grant In front of Richmond - I
mend , and to President Lincoln at WashIngton - '
Ington , writes S. H. M. Ilyers In McClure's
Magazine for August. i
"Don't say much about how wo are doIng -
Ing down here , " said the general , as he put
his arm about me and said farewell that
evening down at the river bank. "Don't
tell them In the north we are cutting any '
great swath here. Just say we are taking
care of whatever Is getting In front of us.
And bo careful your boat don't get knocked
to the bottom of the river before daylight. "
Our little craft was covered nearly all
over with cotton bales. The river was very ,
wide and out of Its banks everywhere ; the
night was dark. Whatever the enemy may
have thought of the little puffs of steam far
out In the dalle , rapid water , we got down
to the sea unharmed. A fleet cccan steamer
at once carrltd me to Virginia. Grant was
In a little log cabin at City Point , and when
an officer vas announced with dispatches
from Sherman hn was delighted. He took
mo into a back room , read the letters I
ripped out of my clothing , and asked me
many questions. Then General Ord en
tered.
"Lrok here , " said General Grant , delighted - '
lighted as a child. "Look here , Ord , at
the news from Sherman. He has 'oeaten
even the swamps of the Carollnas. " !
"I am so glad , ' sa d Ord , rattling his big
spurs ; "I am to glad. I was getting a lit
tle uneasy. "
"I not a bit , " said Grant. "I knew Sher
man. I knew my man. I knew my man , " .
ho gravely continued , almost to himself. |
Kawllny , the adjutant general , was called
In to rejoice with the others. Then a
leave of absence was made out fcr mo to go
north to my home , where I had been but
eight days during the whole war. I
A MILITARY ROOSTER. |
An amusing Incident of the "Aroostook
war. " as told by a survivor , shows how ,
history repeats Itself. It relates to a bird of
victory that accompanied on artillery batI I
tttllon , The men on their start for the war
were first sent up the old Aroostook road from
Molunkus us fur as Patten-aml were then I
counter marched back and sent to Houlton '
over the no-called military road. On this
return-at Ilenedlcta , bayu the Aroostook
( Me. ) Journal , a rooster was purchased In a
spirit of barter , and It became In a few days
a great pet of the men. Ho would ride as
proudly upon the old-fashioned brass field
pieces , when on the march , as ever "Old
Abe , " the Wisconsin war eagle , did on the
banner of his regiment. When the guns
wore fired In artillery practice his delight '
was Immense , and ha would flap his wings ,
ami crow lubtlly while the boys hurrahed.
When the battalion came home they had a
sort of triumphal entry Into Danger , On
this occasion the rooster wna dressed In
ftcarlet and perched dn the top of the ammuni
tion carriage , and ! lit made his volco heard
above all the din.
"That iitory ol t&o only 'battle' of the
Aroostook war , printed In the Journal a
few days ago , " aayi one of the survivors ,
"tells us that the firing which roused the
camp at Fort tfnlffleld was from Ilrltlsh
guns on the Now iDrunswIck side of the
river. That Is arc terror. The firing was
by our own picket 'guard and was ordered
by the officers to test the mettle of the men.
A rollcnll after the alarm was over showed
every man to b In the ranks. General
Hodgdon made a .speech to the troops , com
plimenting them JJslily for their behavior.
It Is doubtful If "there was a hostile gun
fired at our troops during the whole war , or
oven fired near enough to cause an alarm , "
A MAIU1LE RESPONSE TO SONG.
Friends of General Sherman meeting at a
New York dinner party not long ago ,
chanced to drift Into n discussion of popular
war songs , the famous "Marching Thro'
Georgia" eliciting most attention.
"I wonder who wrote that song ? " said ono
of the partlclpanta In the festivities.
| "It was written by a Hartford printer
named Henry C. Work , " answered a lady nt
I the table , who was listening to the dlscus-
I slon. At the meeting the Idea of crcct-
Inc a memorial In honor of the union song-
maker was suggested , savs the New York
Tlmus , and there Is every prospect of Its
being carried out by the New York and
Hartford friends of the balladlst , who died
hero ten years ago , and Is burled In one of
the old cemeteries In the city.
The memorial Is to bo a cranlto pedestal
with bas-reliefs In bronze representing war
scenes such as Work's song suggest. There
will also be a bust of the author of the
famous song. The memorial will bo erected
on the City park , south of the stale capital ,
and will occupy one of. the most picturesque
spots In Hartford.
Henry C. Work , the author of "March
ing Thro' Georgia , " "Woke Nlcodcmus , "
"Grandfather's Clock , " and a score of popu
lar songs thirty years ago , was born In the
city of Mlddletown , October 1 , 1832 , but
was educated and made his home here
through life. He learned the printer's trade
In Hartford , and worked at the case before
he began his song1 writing , not far from the
outbreak of the civil war. One of his tem
perance songs , "Father , Dear Father Como
Home , " was composed and published just
before the war , and was sung everywhere by
the friends of cold water. "They've Grafted
Him Into the Army , " was ono of his humor
ous songs that took like wildfire during the
conscription period of the war.
"Grandfather's Clock" was universally
sung In the north for years. Uut the words
and music gaining the firmest hold were
"Marching Thro1 Georgia , " and the singer's
memory will bo longest kept In the public
mind by this famous ballad.
Work composed the words and music of his
songs. He made a fortune by his songs , and
wasted It In fruit raising at Vlnehind , N. J.
Finally , the plates of his ballads were de
stroyed In the Chicago fire In 1S71. Mr.
Work died here June S , 1SS4 , and Is burled
In what Is called the Old North cemetery ,
which adjoins the grounds where the re
mains of Mrs. Slpourney are Interred. Every
Memorial day his grave Is decorated with
flags and flowers by the friends of the Grand
Army here.
INDIANS IN THE WAR.
It Is a fact probably unknown to a ma
jority of people , remarks the New York Sun ,
that there are more than 2,300 pensioners of
the civil war In Indian territory , exclusive
of Oklahoma , and that the amount paid them
last year was $312,000 , the sum contributed
to residents of Oklahoma In the same year
being $623,000.
In May , 1861 , the confederate congress
adopted a resolution Including the whole of
the present Indian territory and Oklahoma ,
too , with the confederacy , and especially
among the Cherokcas there were many re
cruits from the Indian tribes to the southern
army , but they maintained an Independent
organization and cut actually very little fig
ure. In the fight.
The War department at the beginning of
the war appeared to attach great Importance
to the Indians .as auxiliaries of the union
forces , and considerable effort was given to
assist In their organization , but without very
much success. The total number of Indians
enlisted' In the northern side between the
years 1S61 and 1865 was 3.550 , but a consider
ably larger number served on the other side ,
and offset the efforts of those who were
unionists , or , rather , who attached them
selves to the union side , for the knowledge
of the Issues Involved In the war of the re
bellion were at no time very clearly under
stood by any of the Indians , and some In
stances were well authenticated in which In
dian troops fought during the war on both
sides , alternately.
It seems strange In this day that capable
military leaders , skilled In the science of
war and familiar with the geographical po
sition of the border states In which the
battles were to bo begun , If not decided ,
should have fallen Into the error of suppos
ing that In a country capable of furnishing
more than 3,000,000 competents , a few semi-
savage aborigines practically restricted to
the plains of the west , could bo a formidable
factor In a conflict so extensive , but the fact
must ho recalled that the only military
traditions that were possessed In states and
territories beyond the Mississippi related to
the previous confllc's with Iml'ons. ' They
were the only hostile force which the local
mllltla. where , there were any , had known ,
and the part which they were popularly sup
posed to have taken In the revolutionary war
seemed to qualify them for active service , In
withstanding the movements of southern
troops In the southwest.
The present population of the Indian terri

DIDN'T DELIEVE IT WAS GRANT.
A new story of General Grant was told
the Plttsburg Dispatch the other day by a
resident of Washington oounty. Pennsylvania
vania- "I'll never forget how old Ulje
orver who kept the toll gate at Washington
on the old Wheeling pike , held up General
Grant for toll , " he said. "Bljo was an
noyed a great deal by the college boys who
drove over the plUe. They worked upon
his credulity , promising to pay toll on their
way back. Many a nickel has been lost
he Is a kindhearted -
to the old tollkeeper. for
hearted fellow , and often In the face of bet
ter udRment remitted the toll until they
returned Hut the boys , like that letter ,
never came ; they took another route home ,
hits eluding old IV.je. . Upon one of Gran 's
visits to Washington , during his admlnls-
traton. a young Mr. Smith , who was then
In college , tcok him out ono day for a drive.
As they came near the toll gate on the
Wheeling plUe old HIJo caught sight of
them He went out of his house , took hold
of the rope and pulled the pole down , ob-
structlng the road. Sm.th greeted HIJo In
a familiar way and sold : 'Look here , nlje ,
wo want to go on. You see I've General
Gra , t with me here. ' IIIjo looked up with
a sardrnlo smile. He had Just begun to
Eee through the'tricks ' of the college boys
and was not going to allow himself to e
gulled any longer. So he replied : 'I don t
EVO a darn If you lhavc General Grant with
you ; you'll have to pay toll or you can't
cet alniiK here. ' Then he added In a most
Barcasto way. : ' a leer : 'General Grantl
You must take me. for a fool. ' Really. ' per-
slsted young Smith , 'this Is General Grant. '
Hut Ilije got angry at his apparent Impu
dence and said , angrily. 'Grunt nr no
Grant , you pay toll. ' Seeing that he was
adamant , General Grunt put his hand down
Into his pocket aid , saftcr tossing him a coin ,
drove on , laughing at the Inc.dont. Ho
often related the t Incident afterwards , and
It seemed ts amuse him greatly. "
STONEWAUL. TUB TACITURN.
\11 persons wllo saw much of General
Stonewall Jacksomremarked , hit ) taciturnity
and his self-abstraction , I once rode with
him during the entire day. says W. M , Talla-
fcrro In the Century , and I now recall the
trln as ono of the most lonesome I ever
made. H was In the summer of 1802 , shortly
i nt-tt 01 ail in Leavening Power.latest U. S. Gov't Report.
.
aftcr McCIcIlan had "changed his base" to
the James river , nnd was securely resting
under the she tcr of his gunboats at Harri
son's Landing. Jackson'n command , recently
from the mountains , had been withdrawn
to a moro healthful encampment a few
mllrs north of Richmond , but General Lee ,
with the bulk of the army , wan still frontIng -
Ing the enemy. Early one morning , while
doing duty at Jackson's headquarters , I was
told to got my horse nnd accompany the
general on a ride. As wo quietly Jogged
along the road I endeavored to draw him
Into conversation about the Incidents con
nected with the terrlblo Seven Days' battle
wo had just fought , but falling to elicit
anything more than short negative or half
ndlrmntlvo responses , I changed the subject
to grncral topics the weather , etc. Still
meeting with no better success , I relapsed
Into complete silence , determined not again
to talk unless Invited to do so. For hours
we continued down the road at a fox-trot ,
or r pld walk , without a word being spoken.
The prolonged sllcnca was growing oppres
sive to me , when I noticed him muttering ,
ns If talking to some ono he had In mind
probably arguing a question of strategy.
As the debated point grew In Interest the
muttering became louder and moro frcquant.
He was evidently in hot dispute with mi
Imaginary person upon a subject abjut
which they differed widely. Dummy had
apparently laid down some proposition which ,
to the geliiral's mode of reasoning , was
clearly untenable. Ho therefore replied :
"No , slrl No , sir ! " In a loud volco and with
a gesture of Impatient dissent. The physi
cal exertion scmed to arouse him front his
reverie. Dummy vanished Instantcr , nnd
turning to mo with an odd expression of
countenance , Jackson remarked : "That Is
a pretty cottage over liter * , " painting to n
farm house wo were then passing. Immedi
ately afterward , putting spurs to his horse ,
ho went clattering down the road at n 2.10
gait , leaving mo to bring up the rear. Not
another word was spoken until we reached
General Lee's headquarters , whither wo
were bound.
AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
I'rcil llclclt round IIM < | on the Torch of
UN Saloon Ili-tirt I'a 11 tire.
Fred Hclelt , a saloon keeper , was found
dead on a sofa on the back porch of his
saloon at Twenty-fourth and K streets at
an early hour yesterday morning.
Mr. Helelt was a man well known here ,
having come to South Omaha seven years
ago. Ho was a quiet man , but for the last
flvo weeks licit been drinking a good deal
and his condition was pitiful. At midnight
when his two sons closed the saloon Mr.
Ilelclt appeared to be as cheerful as he had"
been for a week nnd the sofa was pulled out
on the porch. When his son Albert went
to the building nt C o'clock In the morning
he found his father dead. Mr. Uelelt was
a very corpulent man and Dr. Abcrly , who
had frequently been called to attend him ,
says that he died of heart failure. The
funeral will take place this afternoon from
th residence at 4 o'clock.
The members of the family were satisfied
that It was unnecessary to hold on Inquest.
