The mayor's letter to 1'ollce Judge Gor
don Is continuing to have Its effect In police
court , No prisoner escaped yesterday morn
ing. Thcio were fully a dozen who , under the
former condition of affairs , would have been
dlsrhniged , Judge Gordon , however , fol
lowed the major's Instructions and fined
and sentenced each one , all pleading guilty ,
And sent them to Jail.
Judge Gordon docs not deny that tech
nically the mayor Is right In his position.
Ho admits that ho has no legal right to
remit lines or suspend sentences. But ho
questions the advisability of tlio major's
action to protect his own prerogatives and
for sitting down upon the police court foi
presuming to assume any of them.
Judge Gordon sajs : "The new policy will
fall the most heavily upon the so-called
vagrants. Numbers of these am aitested
dnlly. Heretofore I have sentenced them
to thirty dajs In the county jail , but have
suspended the sentence on condition that
they Immediately get out of the city. Now
Jf they plead guilty , as they Invariably do ,
they will have to be sent to Jail.
"The big majority of thcbe men nio hon
est , but out of woik. When arraigned I explain -
plain to them that a vagiant is a person
Tilth no money , out of woik and with no
place where he may live. Almost without
exception lhat Is their condition. They
mutt plead guilt ) . If the ) do not , thu evi
dence will convict them.
"Them Is only one course for mo now ;
either when they plead guilty or are
proven guilty , I must punish them , I will
not , however , sentence them to the chain
gang. I will , not mark a man out as a
cilmlnal and expose him to public dls-
grace with a ball or tdiacUlcs on his legs and
a guard over htm simply because he is out
of work.
"In my opinion tne old system \\oilvt-d
veil , I put a suspended sentence over the
vagrants' heads and ordered them out of
the city , Of the hundreds who have ap
peared before mo but few have ever 10-
turncd. In that way the city got rid of
them , Now they will icmaln at , a burden to
the Ia\pajcr3.
"In regard to drunks , the old pcilcj
voiKcil well. If a man appeared for the
firt time before me I lined him , but sus
pended the line on condition that he never
came back , I endeavored to save him fiom
AS much publicity as possible , I bclltm
that that bad a more reforming effect than
fine. "
In line wltli there- sentiments the judge
yesterday morning sentenced seven "box car
xaKiantti , " who had been found sleeping In
freight car ? Friday night , to ten da ) s In the
county jail rach. He also ( hied ( hire
men. II. P. I.clch , IMIly Houston : < nd Charles

The latter could not pay the flues and went
to jail. All of the variants and drunks
pliaded cullly when arraigned.
IF this s ) tem IB continued It h cnlr a
nwtlcr nf a very short time whrn the county
Jill will ho filled with prisoners whose crime

Laird , Schobcr & Co. , of Philadelphia , 'who
bought the WIIcox & Draper Block nf shoes
last Wednesday , are preparing to dispose
of the entire stock In this city , It being the
Intention to close It out at retail.
In speaking of the matter , Mr. WIIcox
paid that there would bo no doubt about
placing the stock on sale here ; In fact , that
the date for opening the sale had been set
for next Saturday , the 1st ot August , until
which time the store will remain closed , and
that all the clerks , formerly with WIIcox
& Draper , liavo been engaged to begin work
this Monday morning , In order to mark the
goods down to prices that will Insure a
speedy sale.
Laird , Schohcr & Co. , arc , nnd nlwajs
have been manufacturers of Ihe finest shoes
In the world for ladles , misses and children ,
and It Is to bo hoped they will put In
their complete line hero. Their goods are ,
however , well represented In the WIIcox
stock , along with other well-known makes.
This slock , It will bo remembered , was
bought In for something less than 33 cents
on the dollar , and Omaha bargain Judges
can rely upon gelling these shoes at the
came figure , as it Is not the Intention of
the new firm to make capital out of this
purchase , but rather to dispose of the shoes
now In Iho sloro at prices that will startle
the shoo circles on nnd after August 1 ,
which Is next Saturday , at the old stand
of WIIcox & Draper.

.lluc-li Work- .
The task of preparing the delinquent tax
list for the current > car Is one which Is
bothering some of the city ofllclals nt
present. Under existing circumstances the
expense will bo considerable nnd even with
all the help that can be advantageously
employed it will be necessary to woik
day and night In order to have the list com
pleted by Sentember 10.
The unusual amount of work Is rendered
necessary by a recent decision of the supreme
premo court by which the city treasurer is
compelled to figure the Interest on each
tax for each jear separately. Previously
the Interest had been computed on the full
time during which the tax had run and
this was comparatively an easy task. But
this year the work has been so increased
by the terms of the decision that there Is
apparently no end to It. The clerks will
be compelled to take each piece of property
and compute the delinquent taxes and
Interest for each year , extending their In
vestigations RS far back as I860. This
must be done with each general or special
tax and Treasurer Edwaids sas lhat fre
quently a man will have to work several
hours to propeily calculate the delinquent
tax on a single piece of properly. As but
little over a month Is left In which to do
the work , ho expecls lo have to work both
a day and night force , and then he doubts
whether it can all be accomplished.

to exceed half a dozen members of the league
in atlendance at the convention the mem

The action of the council Friday night In
appointing special committee to Investi
gate and report on all resolutions providing
for street repairs has been interpietcd by
some onlclalb as a slap at Iho street com
mlssloncr. Councilman Wheeler , who In
troduced the lesolutlon , denies that this la
the case. He tajs that such action was
necessary In the Interest of economy. It
had become customary for the council to
suspend the rules nnd pass , without In
vestigation , every jcsolutlon of Ibis char
acter , and the result was that much money
had been expended unnecessarily , while
some very dangeious places had been al
lowed to remain without attention. In view
of the depleted funds of the city it was
imperative that money should only be spent
where a necessity existed , nnd If every
repair resolution was thoroughly Investi
gated by a special committee this could bo
accomplished It was not proposed that the
committee should exercise any jurisdiction
over employing men or any other duty that

ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM
There were Modern Woodmen galore nt
Blair on last Wednesday. The little town
was fairly overrun with them nnd they al
most swelled the population lo metropolitan
proportions. There were between 6,000 nnd
7,000 of them. This Immense crowd cer
tainly made the first nnnunl log-rolling ot
the Omaha District Log-rolling association ,
which they were celebrating , a very high
criterion by which the future picnics ot the
association will bo measured.
The delegation from Omaha numbered nt
least 1,000. Some ot these went to Blnlr
by early trains , while others took the noon
trains. The big majority , however , went on
the excursion train which left the Webster
slrect depot nt S 30 In the morning. The
excursion party was composed of local
members , who had gathered nt the various
lodge halls , combined and then marched
through the strcels to the depot amid the
strains nf bands ot music.
Excursions were run on nil the roads that
run Into Blair and from nil dltcctlons. Every
camp In the district was represented. When
all had gathered on the picnic grounds In
the afternoon nt the park In Blair It was
cstlmaled Hint Ihc assemblage fully num
bered 0,000 nnd probably exceeded lhat fig
ure.
ure.Tho Blair Woodmen did over ) thing they
could to provide for the comfort nnd pleas
ure of the visitors Committees were on
every excursion train checking and looking
after the baggage of the plcnlcKers , which
upon nrrlvnl nt the grounds wns trnnsferred
to a huge tent. Consequently the visitors
hnd no need to look nfter Ihe baggage and
lunch baskets from the moment they stepped
on the train. In the park two tents were
used as Omaha headquarters nnd another
for the headquarters ot the ofllcers ot Ihe
association.
When Blair was reached and the members
had alighted from the Omnhn train nn ef
fort was made to form a procession. After
some work the camps were formed In line
and n march wus made through the prin
cipal streets of the town. One of the fea
tures of the line was a huge log slxly feet
In length drawn by four horses The re
turn was made to the paik and there Maor
M. D. Bcdall welcomed the visitors lo
Blair In behalf of the people of the town.
The response was made by Judge Edgar
Howard of Papllllon.
After a basket dinner hnd been cnjojcd
the exercises of the day began nt 1'30 o'clock
In the afternoon. The program was opened
by a seleclloi. from n band. This wns fol
lowed by an oration by Deputy Head Consul
Fritz of Brownvllle. A recitation by Miss
Patlerson was followed by addiesses from
D. C. Zlnk of Grand Island and James
Powers of Omaha. AH Iho talks were de
voted to the order. '
One number of the program was occupied
by an address from Mrs. E. D. Walts of
Omaha , supreme oracle ot the Real Neigh
bors. She spoke as follows :
"I dcslro lo present to ) ou the benefits
of a fraternal organization , vhlch Is today
doing much in practical was to relieve the
distress and to ameliorate the sulTeiing of
humanity. The benoflclent work ot our
order in Iho last few years has demonstrate
the fact that there is a work for woman In
the fraternal world that will ever keep
pace with older and more matuicd organiza
tions. The fialernnl precepts and loving
deeds have btoken down old prejudices and
have opened up n way vvhcrln woman , to
whom was long denied such rights , the
right lo assisl and stand side by side with
her husband In tlio protecllon of and the
providing for their loved ones.
"Tho year Just closed has been one ot gen
eral prosperity lo all fraternal orders , and
no one has had more marked prosperity
than the order ot Royal Neighbors of
Ameilca. We have Increased In numbers and
strength , and as the ) ears go by and as
women profit by their experiences In this
labor of unselfl h love , we become more firmly
anchored In the hearts of the people , and
never has there been a day thai the women's
auxiliary organizations has had so strong
a hold upon the confidence and good Judg
ment of the people of our great northwest
as ut the present time. I do not know lhat
history records any instance of so marvelous
development of charitable or social piln-
clples as that embodied In the principles
taught by our noble older. Women divided
In Interests , separated by locality , of evciy
difference of religion , unknown to each
other , when enlisted under the Royal
Neighbor banner become neighbors In spirit
and In deed , giving of their substance ns >
well as of thnir sympathies to those upon
whom want has fallen , and upon whoso
household the hand of death has been laid
"Our order began In darkness , but ever
more Its path has been tending toward the
llijht , and as It becomes better Known the
great mass of members of Iho Modern Wood
men of America nnd their female relatives
are becoming moroaud more convinced thnt
the order of Royal Neighbors ot America
Is the order for the nineteenth century
civilization ,
"No longer nro women's organizations
scoffed nt , but arc looked upon as a bless
ing , protected by the laws and endorsed by
the public In general. Our order is n fra
ternal benefit association , composed of
Modern Woodmen nnd their female rel
atives , and was Incorporated under the
state laws ot Illinois , March 21 , 1S95. To
Its members It offers life Indemnity In the
sums of ? fiOO and $1,000 , on a graded planet
ot assessments , similar to that ot the Mod
ern Woodmen , nnd nt a nominal expense.
There Is no other woman's order In exis
tence today that has had the steady , sub
stantial growth that the Order of the Hojnl
Neighbors of America has had during the
last term , covering a period of sixteen
months.
"January 1 , 1895 , the order numbered Just
100 camps , with n membership of 4,124. At
the close of Ibis Icrm , May , IS'Jfi , these num
bers have been Increased lo380 camps , with
a fraternal membership of 20,000 , an In
crease during this term of 10,000. The
number of bpncllelary members was , on
January 1 , 189C , 3,489. Today we have a
beneficial y membership of 5,000. Tlilrty-
thrcc camps were organized In the month
of June , nnd 417 policies vvrlltcn In the
same month. The order Is now paying all
death claims In full , nnd Is pressing grandly
forwnrd on Its mission of love nnd mercy ,
nnd with a clear record and such grand rc-
stills , wo appeal lo ) ou for your earnest
consideration. "
The literary portion of the day's enjoy
ment was followed by the athletic events.
They were contested nnd resulted as fol
lows :
One-mile bicycle race Won by John
Peterson of Omaha camp No. 120.
One hundred-yard foot race Won by
James Callahan of Omaha camp No. 120.
Fat men's race Won by H. C. Tlmino of
Omaha camp No. 120.
Egg and spoon race for women Won by
Mrs C. H. T. Rlcpcn of Omaha.
Three-legged race Won by F. C. Clark
and J. C. Tartan ot South Omaha camp.
One of the fealurcs of this program was
the competitive drill between camp tennis.
It had been anticipated that the entries
would be at least a score , but when time
wns called only three responded , Beech ,
Omaha and South Omaha. The drill oc
curred In the main street , which had been
roped off Inlo a square. The Judges were
E E. Jackson , Lieutenant Gardner and B.
M. Wllsey. The contest was n tplrlted one
nnd the judges finally announced Ihc follow
ing result : Omaha camp team , 95 points ;
South Omaha , 01 , nnd Beech , SO. In con
sequence the loam of Omaha camp was
declared Ihc winner of Ihe silver water
set and the team of South Omaha the
winner of Ihe second prize , a silver cup.
The remainder of Ihc afternoon was de
voted to social enjojmeilt. Afler supper
Iho Ihreo competing teams and the Ancient
Order of United Workmen band serenaded
the ma > or and other residents of the city.
The return was made last In the evening ,
the excursion tialn airivliiK In the city at
9.30 o'clock.
At G o'clock In the afternoon the annual
meeting ot the association was held in
Knlghls of Labor hall Twenty-five camps
of the order and the Heal Neighbors were
represented. Fremont was chosen as the
place for holding the next picnic. The date
was left to the wisdom of the Fremont
members , but the sentiment was In favor
of holding the affair about a month Inlcr

through the city on his way to Louis ! in.i ,
whcro he Intends to form thnt state Into a
separate jurisdiction. In the pant LouUianti

the territory has proved to tic too laige.
Imlc | 'iiil < 'iit Order nf Kori'itrrN.
Some time ago the local lodges of the
order decided to hold n union entertainment
upon the fifth Friday of every month In
which a fifth Friday falls. The first one
of these entertainments will he held on
next Friday night In the Forester hall In
the Boston store building.
Although no formal program has been
arranged for the affair It Is evident from
the arrangement made that the lltcinrj and
musical portion of the evening's entertain
ment will be of a very high order. Some
of the very best pcrformcis of the city have
promised to render selections and there
stems to be no doubt that the occasion will
be as highly en jo j able as the rare treats
given by Foresters In the p.ist have becji
In addition to the music , songs nnd recita
tions the evening will be bpcnt with cards
and In social enjoiinent Plenty of re
freshments and cigars will be on tap.
The affair will be stag In character and
will be marc of a biuoker than anything
cl&e. It Is strictly Imitation Iu nature ,
so thnt all who go may be assured tlmt
only the most desirable people will bo In
attendance. Ihe Invitations have already
beun Issuid nnd fiom the responses them Is
nn doubt that a big attendance will reward
the effort of the Joint committee that hns
had the entertainment In chaigc.
