After ctMsldcrnblo doubt throughout the
morning an to the expediency of having the
Memorial day procession from the center of
the city out to Hansccm park the sun peered
through the clouds shortly after 1 o'clock ,
ami Itself tattled the mooted que-stlon. Or
ders Were given to the companies that had
been Invited to participate to form at Six
teenth and 'Knrnam streets , and the proces
sion started on Its march to the park at a
few minutes pzst 2 o'clock.
There was a gcodly concourse of people all
along Sixteenth street from llarney street up
to Dodge , the number of spectators
greatly exceeding the number of participant
In the parade. The force of the latter had
been rc'dueed by the uncertainty concerning
thu actual starting of the parade and by
the threatening weather which continued up
nntll tiuo.ii Though the procession was somewhat -
what rhor.tcr . than usual It lacked In no other
element except quantity. The Uniforms
were bright and showy , the display of Ameri
can and company flags was brilliant and all
tlii ; soldiers marched well.
W. S. Askwlth acted as marshal of the
procession , nnd , mounted on a fine brown
lioreo , led the way to Hun scorn park over this
route , starting from the corner of Sixteenth
and Farnam streets : South on Sixteenth
street to Harne.v , west on Harncy to Tweuty-
elghth street , outh on Twenty-eighth street
to Popplcton avenue , and \ust on Poppleton
nvcnlie to the park. Following Marshal Ask
wlth came the band from Port Crook , the
music of the Twcnty-flecchd regiment of the
government's rcgulam. This fine band , playIng -
Ing spirited martial aim , preceded two com
panion composed of soldiers from Fort Crook.
They were : Garrison II , Army and Navy
union , Coirirander Blau , and Nelson A. Miles
division of the Army and Navy Veterans ,
Commander Chapuls. The representatives of
the regular army presented a fine appearance
nnd were cheered along the line of march.
Immediately following the troops from Fort
Crook came a carriage containing the speak
ers of the afternoon.
CITIZEN SOLDIERY IN LINE.
Following came the Saventh Ward band ,
under the command of Leader George Green.
In their brilliant uniforms thcso musicians
attracted much attention. They were fol
lowed by the Thurston Rifles , under the com
mand of First Lieutenant Hayword and Second
end Lieutenant Stockham. Almost the whole
company turned out , and Ho appearance
ehowcd the effect of the drilling preparatory
to the trip to San Antonio to defend the Gal-
veaton cup. The Omaha Guards followed ,
Captain Mulfoid in command , with Lieuten
ants Wilson and Cone , marching In the com
pany's usual good stylo.
Next came a company of the High school
cadets composed of the members of various
companies of the High school battalion. The
cadeM were In charge of Captain J. R.
Holmes , and made a good showing , even If
they had no guns to carry. The Continental
Fife nnd Drum corps followed , under the
leadership of Charles Rhodes. The Frank
E. Mooroa camp , No : 21 , Sona ot Veterans ,
ununlformed but bearing an Immense Amer
ican Hag and other forms of the national col.
ors , brought up the end of the procession.
This company wns _ under the command of
Captain Samuel-Wiggins , t
On reaching the northeast corner of Hans-
corn park the column wns Joined'by the va
rious Grani Array posts of the city. The
entire procession then moved b the grave of
the unknown dead , where the afternoon's me
morial exercises were held , under the di
rection of Charles S. Burmester , officer of the
day.SMALL
SMALL CROWD AT THE PARK.
The serviced at Hanscom park commenced
shortly before 3 o'clock. They Were attended
by a crowd of somewhat over GOO mon , women
nnd children , the latter being- represented
1 by quite a working quorum. The spectators
were not nearly so" numerous ns for several
years past , but they came out In larger num
bers than the Grand Army people had ex
pected when the. clouds were lowering. All
the local posts of the Grand Army of the Re
public , Woman's Relief corps , Ladles of the
Grand Army of the Republic and Sona of
Veterans were represented. A great numbci
of children were there" , and even the dogs'
forgot to notice the signs at the entrance
forbidding them admission. There were
bicyclers , equestrians , and the rich who rode
In chaises , but the poor who walked In the
pathwayo wore In the majority.
Following the lead of the soldiers and the
column that had marched out from the city
the. crowd.quickly , gathered about the grave
dedicated Id'the unknown dead of the war of
the rebellion , With the old soldiers forming
a quadrangle about the significant grave and
the spectators ranged In rows , some standing
and the moro venturesome sitting , on the
grassy banks above them , the ritual services
were held. .
C. E. Burmester eloquently delivered the
address In general use among the Grand
Army posts. This was followed by a novel
nd most picturesque act. Forty-five young
girls , representing the stated of the union ,
participated In an exercise that consisted of
the recitation of an appropriate verso with
the strewing of flowers upon the grave of the
unknown dead by each one. The little girls
were uniformly attired and presented nn at
tractive appearance. They wore gowns of
white , with white caps ornamented with blue
bands , white sashes with red borders con
taining the names of the states , and each
carried In one hand a small American flag
arid In tlit ) other n bouquetof flowers to place
on tbo grave.
grave.SALUTE
SALUTE IS FIRED.
There wns a dirge by the same little girls ,
followed by three volleys by the Thurston
Hides. The firing of this salute caused some
consternation among the women and chil
dren , over whose heads It waa fired , but
beyond a few soiled collars and blackened
faces no harm wns elonp , The names of the
soldiers "who had rtlrd since the last "Memo-
rial day were , then read. The taps -were
sounded , there was prayer by Dr. Mackay
and then all wended the > Ir way toward the
speakers' stand , where the remainder of
the exerolsea were held.
The stand was decorated with bunting of
the national colors , while large pictures ol
Generals Grant , Harrison nnd Garfield nnd of
Major McKlnley helped to carry out the
Grand Army effect , Under the leadership of
George Green the- Seventh Ward hand played
three delightful selections : "North and
South. " "Meditation" and "Tho Illuo and
Gray Patrol. "
Commander-in-chief Clarkson of the Grand
Army of thfl Republic called the assemblage
about the stand to order , and presented Dr ,
n , M. Stone who well read Lincoln's Gettysburg -
burg address. The orator of the day. Rev ,
L. P. Brltt o | this city , waa then Introduced.

His address wan listened to with rapt at *
tcntton , and his allusions to the- ties of- fra
ternity formed during the war aroused the
tendcrcflt feelings of the old soldier * , to that
when lie had finished speaking there was
scarce a dry eye In front of him.
In part ho spoke M follows : "Wo arc
very glad that wo have with us today our
commandcMn-chlef and so many other Fol-
dlcrs with whom wo touched shoulder dur
ing the war. This Is no ordinary occasion.
It Li the day on which we commemorate the
deeds of those who fell In defense of their
country and of those who have followed
them. It Is nn occasion to Illustrate the
loyal patriotism and the fealty of the people
ple ot this country to the grand old flag- and
to the principles of patriotism for which eo
many thousands of our comrades died. It's
very easy to talk patriotism. It's qulto
another thing (6 ( personify It by standing In
the ranks amidst the terrible carnage of war.
Vc first learned patriotism In the schools ,
where wo nlso learned the principles of this
government. It was not until wo enlisted
and went down to the southland and con
quered It In the iinine of our country and
Its nag , causing It to surrender to the grand
est commander the world has over seen , that
wo appreciated the full meaning of patrio
tism. "
PATRIOTISM STILL LIVES.
After describing the outbreak of the war.
Its progress through four years , and recal
ling some of the Innumerable sad Incidents of
that period , the speaker said : "Thcro are
just as brave men and youths In our fair
land today an there were then. If occasion
should require they would rise up In tre
mendous might and In twenty-four hours
there uoulil bo marching such a great army
as would cause consternation to the most
powerful enemy. I have no fear on this
score. I Imvo no patience with the croakers
who are ever bewailing what might happen
to this country In tlmo of war. The country
was worth saving then. It Is worth saving
now , and It will bo saved , In 1SC1 wo had
as many citizen soldiery as ? we had citizens
In the days of George Washington. What a
grand army of citizen soldiery wo could
ratso today , after wo have progressed so
rapidly since the close of the war ! "
Hev. Mr. llrltt dwelt at length on the
value of the friendship with comrades formed
during the war , membership In the same
regiment being , sufficient to weld the strong
est ties. He recalled an Incident of Friday last
when , while returning from the decoration
of the graves , ho met by accident a member
of his regiment. Ho also said that a short
tlmo ago he had found the drummer ot his
old regiment playing a snare drum down In
a Kansas town. Ho knew him by the way ha
beat that drum.
While ho wns speaking an oldt soldier ,
who.had listened to these remarks on the
ties of comrades , suddenly recognized In the
speaker a comrade whom ho had not seen for
thirteen yean. ' , and Immediately after the
exorcises thcro was another occasion for re
joicing at the reunion of two old soldiers of
the same roslmcnt.
CALL -MANDEKSON. .
Commandcr-ln-Chief Clarkson made a few
remarks on the Importance of the continued
celebration of tliu ( lay by the- rising genera
tion , and the benediction was pronounced by
Rev. T. J. Mackay.
Then followed an unusual happening. In
stead of dispersing the old soldiers remained
In their ecats and from all corners of the
stand simultaneously called for Comrade
Manderson. Ho shook his head and started
away , but the old soldl > ; i-s wouldn't have It
that way. Finally the genial general was
compelled to step to the front and make a
few remarks. In part he said : "My dear
comrades , I regret very much that you have
acted In this way , for I fear that you show
an almost total Ignorance of the forms of
Christian worship by nit dispersing after
the benediction has been pronounced. It to
usual In Christian gatherings for the people
to go out after that part of the service has
been concluded.
"Since the world began there has never
been anything akin to these annual cele
brations. It thcro could t > e any appropriate
accompaniment to the deeds of the brave
mon who were the blue It Is in these
memorial day exercises , first suggested by
that noble citizen and comrade , John A' .
Logan. With the swell of music , with
bright flowers and with a spirit of rever
ence for the occasion let us come to each of
these occasions while wt may live to cele
brate the deeds of those who fell , thereby
inculcating a firm love of country amongst
all. "

possession of the authorities to indicate that
the two girls Intended to Inaugurate an
extensive campaign of thievery.
The family of the two girls resides In the
western part of the state. The young
women came to this city some months ego

The supervising architects of the Trons- >
mtsslKslppI Exposition , Walker & Klmbdll ,
spent four days ot last week In Nashville ,
visiting the Tennessee Centennial exposi
tion and acquiring Information In the line
of their work. Mr. Ktmball has returned
to Omaha. Mr. Walker went east from
Nashville , via Washington. Mr. Klmboll
stated yesterday that Mi > , Walker took
with him to Washington the suggestions
of a design which he Intended offering to
the supervising architect as a means of ex
pediting the work of planning the federal
building. A telegram from Mr , Walker yes
terday contained the Information that hit )
Interview with the government authorities
had been entirely satisfactory ,
Mr , Klmball Is very enthusiastic over the
display made by the Nashville exposition.
Ho says the promoters have accomi'iis'tied '
wonders and have secured nn enormous rtsult
for the money they have expended. Mr.
Klmball waa especially delighted with the
Parthenon , the art building of the Nashville
exposition being modeled exactly on the
lines of the celebrated tcmplo of Athcn on
the Acropolis at Athens , even the marble of
which the original was built being repro
duced In staff , The charming tint of the old
marble , resembling the rich hue of old Ivory ,
has been produced In staff and an exact fac
simile ot the finest example ot the pure
Doric order of architecture the world has
ever seen stands on a sllgh elevation , formIng -
Ing , as Mr. Klmball sa > s , a study In archl
lecture which Inspires every admirer of the"
beautiful In art and for which the architect ,
Colonel W. C. Smith of Nashville , deserves
a monument.
The Parthenon shelters the art exhibit of
the Tennessee exposition and the Interior
cclla la constructed of brick , making the
structure fireproof. The practical feature of
this building , from Mr. Klmball'o point of
view , is the fact that It Is n proof that statt
may be given a tint.
It has been the Intention of the architects
of the Tronsmlsslsslppl Exposition to avoid
having the staff white , and thereby having
a city of dazzling whiteness , disagreeable
to the eyes In moro than one way , but Just
how to accomplish this has been a mooted
question. The Chicago people expended
thousands of dollars In unsuccessful at
tempts to stain the staff and experts pro
nounced It an Impossible feat. Painting It
was found to bo very expensive , but the
result attained in the Parthenon solves the
whole difficulty. By the use of yellow
ochre and brown In the mixing of the staff
an old marble tint wns imparted , giving the
whole a rich , creamy tint , which , Mr. Klm
ball says. Is very pleasing to the eye and
artistic In the general result.
As a result of this discovery the staff ,
covered buildings of the Transmlsslsslppt
Exposition will be given a creamy tint
which will add greatly to the richness of
the general effect and soften the outlines of
the architecture.
The skylights of the exposition buildings
will be made of a newly Invented trans
lucent fabric , which admits a soft amber
light and is very much cheaper than glass ,
while not being subject to breakage from
the settling of any part nt the building or
from hall or stones. This fabric Is In usr
at the Nashville exposition and Architect
Ktmball isays Jt Is pronounced very satis
factory by the architects there.

A
Exiionldon Andiorldcn Order' the
AVorU Started lit Once.
The executive committee of the Tronsrals-
slsslppl Expedition , held a special meeting
yesterdayafternoon to consider a number of
matters which were not reached at the meetIng -
Ing Friday afternoon.
Manager Klrkcndall was authorized to at
once commence the construction of a sewer
on the Kountze tract. This Is to drain the
lagoon and the grounds. The sewer will con
nect with the existing main sewer In Twenty-
fourth street. The connecting sectjon will
bo twenty-four inches In diameter and will
extend well up the lagoon , ending In a
manhole which will servo as an overflow to
keep the water In the lagoon from rising
above a certain point and will also allow
of the lagcon being drained when the occa
sion requires. Along the south side of the
Kountze tract a sewer eighteen Inches In
diameter will be laid , connecting at the west
end with the larger sewer and extending east
about-2,000 feet. This part of the sewer will
bo of a temporary nature and will bo laid
In a shallow trench and covered with the
earth now being removed from the lagoon by
the grading contractor. Another portion of
the sewer will be laid along the north sldo
of the Kountzo tract. This will probably be
fifteen Inches or less In diameter ; and will
also be temporary unless the owners of adJoining -
Joining property Join In Its construction.
Superintendent of Construction Geraldlnc
appeared before the committee end explained
that the" work of
putting In this hewer was
, such that It could not be lei .by contract ,
and advised that the work be started at oncV
In order.to avoid moving the dirt twice which
Is now being wasted along the sides of the
lagoon. He estimated that the entire work
would cost less than $5,000. 'Ho was In
structed to secure bids for the material.
A number of routine matters wece disposed
of and several small bills were allowed.

A woman's wit todd > < Mrs. J no Lawless
In very good stead taste Saturday afternoon.
By It eho succeeded tarmost effectually clud-
Ing the vigilance otitba- police authorities ,
who wanted her on thai charge of kidnap
ping a 3-ycar-old child. .
The little girl In ttoxsmo Is Ethel Brlns-
mcad. Her father U a member of the
Second Infantry band , , * hlch was formerly
located at this city , ihut Is now stationed at
Fort Keogh. The UttUr one's mother died
shortly before the removal of the soldier * .
As It had been In 111 health the father did
no't think that ho could properly care for It
and therefore cast about for some one whom
ho could place In charge of the youngster.
Ho finally selected Mro. Jane Lawless , an
atmt of the llttlo girl nnd ft resident-
O'Neill , this elate , The woman went to
Fort Kcogh after the child and brought It
to this city for medical treatment. Sim
reached here about a month ago and during
a greater part of the time resided at the
house of James Scanlan , an old man who
lives 4n North Omaha.
Scanlan Is no relative of the little girl ,
but -wanted to get possession of her. It Is
said that ho wrote to the father about the
matter , and obtained the latter's consent to
bo appointed guardian of the llttlo one.
Mrs. Lawless , however , did not look favor
ably Upon the scheme , Inasmuch as she had
brought the child to tills city. The result
was a quarrel between Scanlan and thu
woman , and last Friday night the Irter
left Scanlan's bouse and went to the reel-
deuce of a neighbor , remaining there over
night. Saturday morning Mrs.Lawless
spied the llttlo girl hi Scanlan's front yard
and took possession ot her. She stated em
phatically that she Intended to keep the
child , and said she would , take her to
her O'Neill home. Scanlan went to the po-
llco court and succeeded in having a war
rant Issued for the arrest or the woman 'on
the charge of kidnaping.
With the legal document In his possession
and an officer to serve It , Scanlan went to
the Webster street depot. It wan Intended
to capture the woman there , ns It was be
lieved that she proposed to take the after
noon train for O'Neill , Scanlan and the
officer remained until Uie train departed , but
Mm. Lawless did not appear.
It was Just hero that Mrs. Lawless out
witted the .officer. . Instead of going to the
Webster street depot , i'ho ' tramped with the
child to DoBolt , n llttlo station several miles
away. There she boarded tne train nnd
got safely away. No effort has so far been
made to detain her at any point along the
line.

Inasmuch as City Prosecutor Miller and
Pollco Judgo4 Gordon disagree on the defi
nition of the term "disturbing the peace , "
the Judge of the district court Is to be called
In to settle the difficulty. The point was
raised In the case of Stella Green yesterday ,
when the woman was tried on the charge of
disturbing the peace. .
In his information , the city prosecutor ac
cused the defendant of fracturing the good
order of the city by using loud nnd profane -
fane language , by threatening to fight and
by using1 boisterous languages , Jujlge Gor
don decided1 that : the city , prosecutor had to

to elect. The consequence wag that the
police Judge discharged the defendant. > ,
The city prosecutor says that ho will file
a bill of .exceptions to the ruling , and will
have the matter decided In the district
court. This Is the first instance of the kind
that has occurred in police court since
Judge Gordon went upon the bench.

Always Truthful Always Satisfactory Afaays Safe ,
Cool Facts.
. . . .
We sell a good , well made and well finished sateen
coat for 50 cents. That's a cool fact , We sell a fine
grade of scjrge coat , unlined , for one dollar and a quar
ter. That's another cool fact. Our second floor is
full of such cool facts as these , and people who want
to keen cool are astonished at the fact that everything
they look at is cheaper in price than they ever saw the
same quality for elsewhere : Lots of people who come
in here to buy a 50 cent coat change their minds and
buy the $1.25 serges "because they're so cheap , " and
lots of people who conic in to look at the $1.25 serges \
buy the $1.50 alpacas 'because they're so cheap. "
Speaking of alpacas , we want to direct your attention to
the cool crash suits made from pure linen ( flax ) which
we are selHng for two dollars for coat , pants and vest
and speaking of linen crash , you might take a look at
the good quality of white duck pants we are selling for
65 cents. They are selling for 98 cents in stores
where they sell things so cheap. That's another cool
fact.
CITY'S HIllEIi" IX CHARTER CASK.
IH'feolM , If Any Exlxt , Hold to lie
EiinJIRemvillitl. .
The brief of City Attorney Council In the
case In which D. H. Wheeler and othero seak
to contest the validity of the charter was
completed late last night and will bo for
warded to Lincoln this morning. Mr. Council
went to Lincoln lest night to be present
when the case Is called In the Supreme court
this forenoon. The brief Is a bulky docu
ment , and deals at length with the proposi
tions advanced against the constitutionality
of the charter.
In the beginning the city attorney calls at
tention to the tremendouy dl/mstcr which n
decision at this time against the charter
would bring to the city. Ho shows that the
Issue of renewal bonds is absolutely essen
tial to preserve the credit of the city. If the
charter which provider ? for the Itisue of these
bonds should bo defeated it would at one
swoop destroy the credit ot Omaha and leave
the maturing Indebtedness outstanding nnd
drawing Interest charges amounting to $1,000
a month.
Ho considers In detail the question raised
by the relaters as to the validity of the sec
tions fixing the term of the police. Judge ,
and quotes voluminous decIslorG to show
that even If the section In question should
be adjudged Invalid It would not affect the
constitutionality ot the remainder of the
charter.
With regird to the allegation that the sec
tion relating to the Board of Fire and Pollco
Confmlsalonera Involves special legislation
he shows that the constitutional prohibition
applies oolely to private corporations and not
to municipal corporations. In regard to the
assertion that the charter was Invalid be
cause it contained provisions which could
only relate to Omaha It Is Indicated that If
this was true no charter that Omaha had
ever had was valid. The minor objections
of the * relaters are fully met and the brief
concludes as follows : "At the most theoa
and the numerous other objections raised by
the relaters are but fly specks on the walls of
the charter for cities of the .metropolitan
class. If there be any that are not wholly
Imaginary , auch can be removed without
tearing down tbe house. "
Not only piles of the very worst kind can
bo cured by Do Witt's Witch Hazel Salve ,
but eczema , scalds , burns , bruises , bolls , ul
cers and all other skin troubles can bo In
stantly relieved by the same remedy.
