MNCOLN , Aug. 23. ( Special Telegram )
The beautiful weather inspired thousands
to visit Camp Falrchlld today and partici
pate In the religious and patriotic exercises
preliminary to the formal opening of the
oldlcrs1 reunion tomorrow. Aside from the
street car facilities , which accommodated
many , the road between the camp grounds
and the city of Lincoln was lined with car
riages all the afternoon. A great many
teams with visiting families arrived today
and went Into camp. Although the gather
ing will probably bo the largest reunion over
held In the state , It Is estimated that tentIng -
Ing facilities will be ample. Indiana , Iowa ,
Illinois and Pennsylvania wcro today
awarded headquarters. The grounds arc dry
and high and the camp presents a beautiful
appearance.
It was nearly 4 this afternoon when
the services In Mercantile Hall commenced.
There was not a vacant seat In the largo
auditorium , and fully 3,000 people listened
to the singing and speaking. Outside wore
as many moro In carriages and making
pedestrian tours of the grounds. Colonel
li. C. Pace , who presided , Introduced Com
rade Ferguson's choir , which led the sing
ing of "America " the audience , on Invita
tion , joining In the anthem. Divine Invo
cation was offcied bj H W Hardy. Amid
considerable confusion , Incident upon the
arrival of a number who could not obtain
Beats , Hon John P Maulc was Intiodticed
by Colonel Pace. He delivered a patriotic
address of twenty minutes' duration , In
the course of which he said : "Could we
hear the heartbeats of the people , wo should
hear that cry , 'This Is my country and
hero Is my home' The people had shown
their willingness lo die for this countiy
and for the preservation of their homes
Difference in habits , locality and opinions
had arrayed the south against the north
The people of the north had gone forth to
battle for a country of the people and for
the people. The empty chair and the empty
sleeve were testimonials to their courage
and their loyalty. When the attendants
on this reunion leturned to their homes
they would carry the love and respect of
every cltl/en In the slate. "
SANG AND SPOKE AGAIN.
The Old Veterans' quartet then sang "We
Wcie Soldiers Together , " and received a
cordial encore. Rev. Lulher P. Ludden fol
lowed with a twenty minutes' address in the
course of which he eloquently traced the
progress of the war for freedom from the at
tack on Fort Sumter to the sin render of
General Lee at Appomattox Ho was fre
quently Interrupted by applause When ho
had concluded Colonel Pace remarked that
Mr. Ludden had been requested to attend
to the religious portion of the exercises , but
It was difficult In the light of the present
generation to say why a religious address
was not patriotic or a patriotic addicss ic-
llglous Colonel Pace then announced that
tomorrow oftcinoon at 3 o'clock Judge M. L
Hay ward of Nebraska City would make the
dedicatory address , after which the local
committee would formally turn over Camp
Falrchlld to Commander Culver , who would
make the speech of acceptance. Ho sail ho
had Just received a lelrgram from General
Prentice , the heio of Shlloh , saying lhat he
would bo hero tomorrow. General Premlce
and Land Commissioner Russell would
speak Tuesday afternoon on "The Struggle
at Shlloh. " Prof. Ferguson's colored Jubilee
Elngers then gave the audience , rendered In
true plantation style , "Swing Low , Sweet
Chariot. "
Mr. George W. Beige of Lincoln was In
troduced and delivered a most Impressive
address , tracing the progress of liberty In
this country from the dajs of Washington
and Patrick Henry and culminating In the
emancipation of 4,000,000 slaves. His speech
was well received and was a splendid and
patriotic effort. "Tenting Tonight on the
Old Camp Ground" wound up the exercises
of the afternoon and was Joined In by the
audience. On Tuesday Iho school children's
chorus , which has been practicing for sev-
eial weeks , will favor the campers with a
number of.vocal selections. There Is an
abundance of wood and straw on the grounds

University park In the second game of their
series before an audience of 300.
The first four Innings were InteloilltiK
and Interspersed with some rather brilliant
plajs and some nlco Juicy errors. Whlpplo
mailo a remarkable throw from left field
to the place ami cut off a runner , and aside
from this and a couple of double plays the
game \\ns uninteresting.
In the eighth Inning , with two men out
and three men on bases , Lewis made the
most costly error In the game by Invading
the pitcher's field after a popup fly. It
cost two runs and took the starch out of
thiJ boys , and after the Breweis piled up
six runs anil clinched the game , they got
tired and gave the Originals a chance to
catch up ; they did nit.

steady game , but at times made Sago work

pany of priests and members of the Fran
ciscan order , which has charge of the
church and monastery. The procession
marched mound the church , chanting the
ritual , vvhllo Father Choka sprinkled the
structure with holy water , dedicating It to
the use of the church. The priests then
disappeared within the church , the doors
being closed for a time , and then the sev
eral societies were admitted , followed by
the crowd. The largo room was completely
filled , there being fully 1,500 people Inside.
The usual dedication service of the Cath
olic church was performed by Fathei Choka ,
after which a scimon In English was
preached by Father Legao of the Holy
Family church , and another In German by
the superior of the Franciscans , who had
come from Humphrey for the purpose.
AMUSEMENTS.
A swarming gallery and a lower house
reasonably well filled greeted with genuine
Sunday night warmth that pearl of the
drama , "A Bowery Girl , " on her return to
Omaha last evening at Boyd's. ' This J ear's
girl , Florilo West , li > a joung woman of exu
berant physical charms , who sings sugges
tive songs In a poweiful voice and wears a
bewildering variety of dresses , all short In
the skirt after the well known custom of the
light-hearted inhabitants of the cast side
of New York Certain of the other people
la the cast were apparently successful in
their efforts to please , notably Carrie Ezler ,
whose songs are not less simccstlve , nor he :
voice less powerful , nor her gowns less ab
breviated than those-ot her sister In art.
The scenery , though undeniably effective ,
cannot be said to bo new. The set showing
the familiar Intersection of Oiand street and
the Bowery , however , has lost none of Its
charm or vcrlsimlltude.
The engagement Is for three nights , clos

South Omaha News
Yesterday afternoon the major and coun
cil committee on public lights drove over
the city and \lsltcd the location of each
electric street light , with a view of seeing
what lights could bo discontinued. The
city officials Intend , If possible , to cut down
the number of lights now In use In the In
terest of economy At present the city Is
pajlng $12 n month each for something like
forty-tht ee street lights Fourteen of these
lights have been put In since the present' '
administration went Into power , the middle
of April
The electric light company will fight any
reduction In the number of lights and will
stand on the conditions of Its contract with
the city Nothing was thought of reducing
the number of lights until the electric light
people refused to move lights free of charge
to accommodate certain ( ounrllmen. The
lighting company maintains that a light
once established cannot be taken nut. It
can bo moved or changed about , but cannot
bo dropped fiom the list.
When the contract was undo the company
gave a bond for $10,000 for the faithful per
formance of Its part of the contract , while
It has no redress If the council violates Its
part of the agi ement The contract calls
for twent > or more lights for a period of
five veais from Julj 1. isnr. . A paragraph
of the contract Is quoted below "It Is
agreed lu consideration of the above cove
nants to take and use and pay for twenty
or more lights and as many more lights
as said clt > may need for a pei led of five
jcars from July 1 , 1S93 , and said city of
Soulh Omaha agrees to pay the party of the
first part all expense for changing the po
sition of any light that Is now or may bo
established "
This provision In regard to pajlng for
moving lights Is very plain and the com
pany wilt Insist upon the city conforming
to the provisions of the contiact. Odlcals
of the company Interpiot that portion of
the contract whcro It agiees to pay for
twenty or more lights to menu that every
light ordered must he paid for until the
cxpliatlon of the contiact.

A Needful Garment--
In all of a man's wardrobe there isn't a more
needful garment for this time of the year than
the lightweight overcoat. It adds comfort to a
summer suit these cool evenings , and can be worn
in many places , and olt where a winter overcoat
would be out of place. It costs little , comforts
much and pays big dividends to the wearer every
sprir.fr and fall. We have these needful garments in
variety and our prices are almost half what you have
been in the habit of seeing them marked elsewhere.
Some in Cheviots at $5 oo , some in B'ack ' Clays at
$7.50 , some in gray Worsteds at $8.00 , and some in
English hunting cloth very swell at $9.00 a piece.
The time lo buy a fall overcoat is now , while the line
is large ; the time to wear it is every fall and spring
for the next five years. A good Fall Overcoat will
look well even after five years. Even the cheapest
of ours arc good all wool.
