It tells women some easy things to dote

HEARD ABOUT TOWN.
Dr. P. M. Halt and wife of Minneapolis ,
who have been visiting friends and the ex
position for the past week , returned home
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 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.

NOT SPECTACULAR.
War is Presale and Less Comfortable
Than'It Might Be.
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. "

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 ,

Mlnnchaba Servo Melon.
A watermelon social dance was given last
evening at Labor Temple by the Mlnnehaha
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 and good music and dancing
made the affair successful in every sense of
the word.
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.
