Society equestrians forming this club have
dona moro than to furnish much exercise
and mere pleasure. They have been the
means of developing many rough riders Into
fcal smooth ones-
The outlook for the present week , as seen
through society spectacles , Is brilliant only
on account of the Carnival of the Court ,
' scheduled for the exposition grounds on
Friday evening. It , Is fair to presume that
this fete will bo no less a success than Its
Worthy predecessor , the Flower parade.
The Court of Honor will be brilliantly il
luminated , splendid music will bo provided
nnd those who care to indulge In open air
dancing will not bo prohibited , nor will
they feel lonely.
Another week will witness the return of
the Omaha Guards and other companies of
the Second regiment of Nebraska volun
teers. Then society may look out for a
notable invasion from the captain and other
members of the Guards , whose absence has
been tearfully mourned on BO many oc
casions this season , when good dancers nnd
Interesting' conversationalists were in de
mand. Hut they ere coming back now , nnd
will grace many a society function. Let
the band play on.

It tells women some easy things to dote

HEARD ABOUT TOWN.
Dr. P. M. Hall and wife ot Minneapolis ,
who have been visiting friends and the ex
position for the past week , returned homo
last night. Dr. Hall is assistant health inspector
specter of Minneapolis and while here found
tlmo to devote some attention to local san
itary matters. The hcaltbfulncss of Omaha ,
ho avers. Is duo In a largo measure to the
water supply , Missouri river water , in his
opinion , being ouo of the most healthful
beverages known. The doctor Is enthusi
astic over the exposition and considers it
the finest possible advertisement of the
great west. Ho likes It so well that he
expects to coma again when the Shrlncrs
take In Omaha. In fact , during his recent
visit here ho acted as an advance courier
for the mejnbors of that order who reside
In Minnesota nnd made a thorough Inspec
tion of Midway from the German Village to
Schlltz pavilion so that after their passage
over the burning sands ho will bo qualified
to pilot them to some oasis where they may
find ropreshmcnt for body and mind.
C. W. Peters , who was captain of one
of the 8-Inch turret guns on the United
States war vessel Now York during the entire -
tire war with Spain , Is In Omaha visiting
his sister , Mrs. Byron Brenhoat , of 365
North Thirty-ninth street. Mr. Peters is
also a brother of John Peters , formerly in
ternal revenue collector nt this port. Ho
has Just finished a three years' service In
the United States navy , having left the
Now York a week ago on its arrival at
New York City. Mr. Peters was In all the
engagements of the war in Cuban waters
nnd is enthusiastic over the victories won
by the .American fleet. With reference to
the battle of July 3 , which resulted in the
destruction of Ccrvera's fleet , ho says the
New York had the honor of taking part
in the engagement , although it only bad
time to fire four shots after It got within
distance of the enemy. Mr. Peters Insists
that the glory of the engagement with Cor-
vera belongs equally to all the vessels that
participated in it , and that there would be
no jealousies or bickerings or cries of un
fair treatment wcro it not for the sensational
newspaper correspondents who have misrep
resented tbo facts as to the parts taken
by the different vessels. Mr. Peters ex
pects to get qulto a nice bunch of prize
money , as the New York captured moro
prlzo vessels by Itself than any otbcr'eingle
American war ship. The prize money , how
ever , has not yet been distributed , prob
ably for fho reason that the authorities are
waiting to have tbo various claims first ad
justed.

NOT SPECTACUliAIl.
War 1 Pronnlc mid tens Comfortable
Than 'It Might Be.
The popular Idea of war In general is as
erroneous as the popular Idea of a battle.
That it is made less tolerable than it might
bo is the testimony of those who have suf
fered from unnecessary annoyances and de
privations duo to carelessness and ineffi
ciency. The observations of a Slboney cor
respondent of lhe London Chronicle are in
teresting : "War Is about as horrible
and ghastly a thing as one can well imagine.
It is a pity that the painters and writers of
fiction have always depicted war In such
glowing colors. There is nothing brilliant
about war there is nothing but dirt nnd
nastlness to offend both the eyes and nose.
In this campaign the medical corps has
paid no attention to the sanitary government
of the various camps. Camps have been es
tablished anywhere without regard to the
water supply or the healthfulnew ot the lo
cation. The rule providing that nH drink
ing water must be boiled has been complet
ely ignored ; in fact , it is doubtful If a single
ounce of water has been boiled except in the
hospitals , since the army seti foot on Cuban
soil. There has never yet been a latrine
erected. Horses and mules wander at will.
"All this would be bad enough If the camp
remained dry , but when rain falls every
day the camp soon becomes a morass , and
sticky , slimy mud is plastered over every
thing and everybody. There are no comoany
or regimental cooks. Each man does his
own cooking , each man must carry his own
allowance of fat pork and hardtack and
coffee , as well as his cooking utensiles. It
causes great waste , , and results in the men
not getting the most out of the food sup
plied them. But coming back to the spec
tacular sldo of war It docs not exist. At
least , not here. Tha American uniform ,
even on full dress occasions , is distinguished
for its absence of gold lace and severe plain
ness. In this campaign the majority ot men
officers , as well as privates do not wear
their blouses , but Instead go about In their
shirt sleeves , generally dark blue flannel or
black sateen. There IB nothing to distin
guish the officer from Iho private , the lieu
tenant from his colonel. I have seen an entire -
tire regiment , every man In a blue flannel
shirt , not n badge to dctcrtnlno rank. Ago
Is no safe guide to seniority. The gray-
headed man may be a line captain , whllo-tho
fresh-checked youngster , who according to
the fltntss of things , should be ft subaltern ,
In frequently some great man's son with n
political 'pull , ' nnd consequently a 'paper'
major or colonel.
"Dirt , like death , is a great lovclcr. In
n campaign when troops are constantly on
the march , when water Is scarce and camps
are raado halt a mile from tbo nearest
stream , tbo personal equation ot cleanliness
rapidly disappears. Everybody seems dirty
and remains so. It Is not n matter ot choice
but one of necessity. To wash on the cor
ner of a towel which has been overworked
which has been moistened from a. can
teen which may have to be carried for hours
before it can be refilled , Is prodigal reck
lessness. Thcro are times when water Is too
precious to bo wasted in any such absurd
fashion as that. Hcnco nearly everyone
takes on hla coating of dirt and retains it ,
and the entlro army , after it has been on
the march a week , Instead of the popular
idea of an army of flashing color , becomes n
monotone of muddy brown. "

OMAHA , Aug. 27. To the Editor of The
Bco : I notice In your Issue of the 27th that
a gentleman named Mr. Peter Headman
was robbed of J135 nnd a valuable gold watch

wish to correct the mistake , as there has
not been a gentleman In the place by that
name , and furthermore , I will not allow any
one to be skinned or robbed. Yours truly ,

Mlimclinlia Serve * Melon.
A watermelon- social dance was given last
evening at Labor Temple by the Mlnnchaha
council , No. 2 , Degree of Pocahontas , the
woman's auxiliary lodge of the Improved
Order of Red Men. Plenty of delicious red
melon was served out to about 100 guests
and members nnd good music and dancing
made the affair successful in every sense of
the word.

Cleveland Plain Dealer : The reverend lec
turer paused.
"While wo are glorying over this signal
triumph of our arms In the complete de
struction of the haughty Spaniards' fleet , "
ho feelingly said , "let us not forget that it
was a greater power than that of Schley or
Sampson that effected the enemy's over
throw. "
A man in the back part of the room hastily
arose.
"You are right , brother , " ho exultingly
cried , "it was the grand old Oregon ! "
And the demoralized meeting soon after
adjourned.
