butchers' strike. This was the time In
which state trodps were called out .by order
of Lieutenant Governor Majors , then acting
governor during the absence of Governor
Crounac. General Gage says that he arrive
on the scene August 3. Upon looking the
ground over , and by order of Majors . he
called out companies A , D , C , E and I. of the
1 First regiment and company G of the Second -
end regiment National guanls. These troops
came front Beatrice , David Ciy , Fullerton

posesslon of South Omaha with company L
of the FIrst and G of the Second 'egiment ,
aud placed General Colby In command. As
shown by the books , the total expenses of
these troops , Including $ .090.12 for trans-
portaton , divided about equally between the

Time exercises at the Congregational church
last night In connection with the Christmas
tree were above the avernge. I consisted
of singing and speaking by members of the
Sunday school , under this management of
lion. 11. 1 Shedd , after which Santa Claus
came with his usual supply of gifts.
The most unique entertainment was heM
at the Methodist gpltcopal church , under tIme
supervision of Urt Clark. The ladles of the
church had made an Immense cake for dls.
trlbuton among the Sunday school , and
when Mr. Clark came to the cutting ot the
cake ho asked for four assistants which were
given hIm , anti he proccedil to carve the
same. The first Inclsslon was mode at the
top and clown the side. When nearly through
thc cut the cake IhoWCI signs of me , and be-
fore anything could b" done , out popped
"Santa Claus" with a whole armful of pres-
cuts he had brought for the children.
The leading feature of the program was
the recitation hy little Murguerete Andrus
which she rndered In a manner that would
reflect credit ten her
refect cre1 [ on a person years
senior.
The Christian church had a program very
Interesting and alusln . The Christmas tree
was of the largEst variety , and completely
c.ovell . with . gifts that were distributed by
"Santa Claus" immediately upon his arrival.
The singing and speaking were very fine , and
the gifts were e"ponslv and numerous.
The decorations at the l nllanuel Baptist
were above the average , and showed the expenditure .
penllure of lots of labor amid taste by the
ladles of the church , under the guidance of
Mr. Lewis Sunday school superintendent.
The program was very oxteimslve and showed
conclusively the talen of the director In the
cantata which they gave , entitled , "Sant
Claus' Mistakes. "

LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONING.

trician Walter Wlbelm of that city Is declare - I
clare to have discovered by accident a
new style of transmitter of such remarkable
power that when ntnchC to the ordinary
telegraph wire It causes time very sounder
on the operator's table to speak This pbe-
nomenon or a Iluman voice emanating from
the little key , lays the Phtiatieipimia Record
must be a ntartng evlde/lce / , and It Is
no wonder that time first vocal messages of
the kind dumrcunled tie bewildered recip-
tents. This Is the
Ient. purely picturesque phase :
however. of an QPlarenty epoclm.makiog In-
trument , which may open undreamt possi-
bites In the Industrial use of long distance
conversattomi. 'fhe new Ericson transmitter ,
only recently tested at Memphis , will
scarcely prove equal to this uncxpcte rival.
The value of long distance telephoning has
Increased , too . with th . modern utility of
the telephone In the army. "Means of com-

THE GRIZZLIES OF IDAOH
, \ Tacit Agreement with Ilen in time Early
Diys Not to llulest Each Olher.
"Spealdng of grizzly bears , " said JUdge
Henry I. Warren of Albuquerque to the New
York Suit . "we dldn't look on these anImals
as practically dangerous In Idaho when I
was the United States distrIct attorney . of
that territory. I a man attacked one ' at
close quarters he sometimes got killed , but
at a little distance not much more attention
was paid to bears than If they had been so
many hog or cattle. Between human beings
and the bears there seemed to 10 at that
time a tacit agreement to let one another
alone.
"One of my hardest horseback trips led
me through a wild region where I often saw
bears. At one point the trail crossed an open
valley . doted with scattering trees and
big clumps of underbrush , and on the further
side wound up a steep mountain side through
thick oak and pine woods . Coming down
Into the valey one day I saw. a little way
off on my right fve bears , two very large
ones and three smaller ones , constituting
possibly a famiy party. They were running
about here ali there , nosing the ground ,
, turning over stones and knocking to pieces
rotten logs , hunting for mice and grubs.
They apparently paid no attention 10 me as
I rode past , 150 yards uwa ) My horse
looked a little wild and fidgeted some at the
sight of them , but I kept him In the trail
without dIfficulty.
"At another time a bear gave me considerable -
erable ot a scaro. I hall crossed this same
valley ali was just begInning to ascend tie
weode heights beyond it. I had dismounted ,
and was leading my horse up time steep hillside -
side when a bear broke out of the bushes
a little behind me and came for me furiously ,
showing her teeth and growling. I stood
still , expecting to ba torn to pieces the next
mcrnont from time determined way In which
she cameIt was a slut bear-hut she stopped
just short or seizing me and turned to dash
In the same way at my horse , and at that I
dropped the bridle and made up the trail as
rop\ed < Ul
fast as I could go. : y horse , Instead of
turing back to run for life In the clear cptmm
ground cf time valley , when she charged at
him , made a.dctour up the hi and came back
on the trail behind me. The bear looking
mighty ugly with her frothing mouth and
bristling hair , kept up her demonstrations ,
directing them princIpaly at my herse. You
know how a horse , when thoroughly fright-
armed , will seek the company and protection
of humaniy , and so , do all I could to drive
film away my beast all the tme kept right
behind me . with his nose at my shoulder ,
trembling with fear , but refusing to leave
me , as tIme bear kept making dashes at us
out of the bushes , sometimes from one sde :
and scmetmes from time other
"I didn't know 'then what I have learner
from the habIts of the animals since that
the bear was running a bluff on us and did
not mean so much to harm us as to scare us
away. She undcubtedly had cuhs concele <
close by In the hURhes and resorted to a common -
mon trick of the female bear to drive away
intruders probably If I bath ttood my groun'
she would have tackled mmmc . and In that case
It wculd mayo been all UI with me. She followed -
lowed us 100 yards or 80 and then seemIng
satisfied that she hall got us fairly on the
run . fell back into the hushes and watehe
us out of sight. " <
