Dr. Hall Is assistant health Inspector specter of Minneapolis and while here found tlmo to devote some attention to local san itary matters. The hcalthfulness of Omaha , ho avers , Is due In a large measure to the water supply , Missouri river water , In his opinion , being one 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. He likes it so well that he expects to come again when the Shrlners take In Omaha. In fact , during his recent visit here he acted as an advance courier for the members of that order who reside In Minnesota and made a thorough Inspec tion of Midway from the German Village to Schlttz pavilion so that after their passage over the burning sands he will be qualified to pilot them to some oasis where they may find represhment for body and mind. C. W. Peters , who was captain of one of the 8-lnch turret guns on the United States war vessel New 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 at this port He has just finished a three years' service In the United States navy , having left the New York a week ago on its arrival at New York City. Mr. Peters was in all the engagements of the war In Cuban waters and Is enthusiastic over the victories won by the .American fleet. With reference to the battle of July 3 , which resulted In the destruction of Cervera's fleet , he says the New York had the honor of taking part In the engagement , although It only had time to Ore four shots after It got within distance of the enemy. Mr. Peters Insists that the glory of the engagement with Cer- vera belongs equally to all the vessels that participated In it , and that there would be no jealousies or bickerings or cries of un fail treatment were It not for the sensational , newspaper correspondents who have misrep resented the facts as to the parts taken by the different vessels. Mr. Peters ex pects to get quite a nice bunch of prize money , as the New York captured more prize vessels by Itself than any othersingle * American war ship. The prize money , how ever , has not yet been distributed , prob ably for Ihe reason that the authorities are waiting to have the various claims first ad justed. Personal Paragraph * . D.

The popular idea of war In general Is as erroneous as the popular idea ot a battle , That It Is made leas tolerable than It might Tlbi bi is the testimony of those who have suffered - fered from unnecessary annoyances and deprivations fePi privations due to carelessness and Ineffi ciency. The observations of a Slboney correspondent clr respondent of the London Chronicle are In teresting : "War is about as horrible teBI and ghastly a thing as one can well Imagine. It is a pity that the painters and writers of Itfll fiction have always depicted war in such glowing colors. There Is nothing brilliant about war there is nothing but dirt and nastlness to offend both the eyes and nose. In this campaign the medical corps has paid no attention to the sanitary government ot the various camps. Camps have been es- tabllshed anywhere without regard to the water supply or the heaUhfulnew ot the lo cation. The rule providing that M 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 set ) 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 coraoany or regimental cooks. Each man does his own cooking , ach man must carry his own allowance of fat pork and hardtack and coffee , as well as bis cooking utenslles. It causes great waste , , and reiults In the men not getting the most out of the food sup piled them. But coming back to the spec- tocular side of war it does not exist. At least , not here. The American uniform , even on full dress occasions , is distinguished for its absqnce of gold lace and severe plain- ness. In this campaign the majority of 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 is nothing to distin guish the officer from the private , the lieu tenant from his colonel. I have seen an en tire regiment , every man In a blue flannel shirt , not a badge to determine rank. Ago Is no safe guide to seniority. The gray- headed man may be a line cnptaln , nhllo.tho fresh-checked youngster , who according to the fitness of things , should be ai subaltern , Is frequently some great man's son with a political 'pull , ' and consequently a 'paper' major or colonel. "Dirt , like death , Is a great lovcler. In a campaign when troops are constantly on the march , when water Is scarce and camps are made halt a mile from the nearest stream , the personal equation of cleanliness rapidly disappears. Everybody seems dirty and remains so. U Is not a matter of 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. There are times when water Is too precious to bo wasted in any such absurd fashion as that. Hence nearly c\eryono takes on his coating of dirt and retains it , and the entire army , after it has been on the march a week , instead of the popular idea of an army of flashing color , becomes a monotone of muddy brown. " Wlnkler Denies ( he Story. OMAHA , Aug. 27. To the Editor of The Bee : I notice in your Issue of the 27th that a gentleman named Mr. Peter Headman was robbed of $135 and a valuable gold watch at Eighteenth and Leavenworth streets. I 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 , LOUIS WINKLER.

Wu It the Chaplain f 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 , " he 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 , " he exultlngly cried , "it was the grand old Oregon ! " And the demoralized meeting soon after adjourned.
