What will probably prove to be the most Important convention of the Telocvlcna Jadnota sokol ever held In the history of this Bohemian-American society was formally commenced In Metz hall yesterday morning. Radical , far reaching chants In the athletic system that is now the foundation stone ot the society are b lng considered and will probably bo adopted. The society was orglnally intended to meet the needs and the desires of the young athlete ot pure Bohemian birth , it is to be remodelled tc satisfy the young Amerlcan-Bohemlar athlete. The necessity of some such change hai : become more prominent since the , meetln ? of the body four years ago , for the nationa society holds a convention only once It four years. It was felt it that time whet the convention was held In Chicago durinj the World s fair , but the delegates to tha session did not stem to care to take upoi themselves the responsibility of makln ; the changes Since then , however , the mat ter has become more and more pertlnen and the first Important step will be taken a the present meeting The convention was called to order thl ; morning at 0 o clock. According to thi usual custom of the body thu first buslnes consisted of Ihe election of a staff o officers for the convention. The sokol doe not permit Its regular officers to preside possibly In order that their acts may h moro freely invesllgaled and comment upon. A set of officers who serve only dur Ing the convention areselected. . The fol lowing were elected. President , Josepl Vokal of New York , vice president , B Hurt of Chicago , secretary , Dr J. R Jaclnsky of Crete , assistant secretary , F Holub of Chicago The business of the morning session wa largely of a routine character. Probably al the matters which will come up for con slderatlon were introduced , but all of thes were referred to committees for consldera tlon. As soon as these committees repor the convention will get down to the wor ! set before It. The committees selected eras as follows- Gymnasllcs Delegates Cenaak , Mastns Ulrlch , Stlbr Holek By-laws Rlha. Englethaler , Skala , Ills kovsky Gerlnger Finance Slsler , Pecival , Uhlir. Resolutions Pecival , Va\rlcek. Kafka. Official Organ Dlbelka , Hrdl , Krizan. Arbitration Franc , Hrbek. Smekal. ChniiKen In Coiitemiilutloii. As has already been said , one of th most Important matters that is coming up I a proposed change in the athletic systen At present the sokol employs the systei that Is and has been in vogue In Boheml : 1 alnly confined to work upon apparatu o ihe gymnasium It has been partlall changed already by ihe addition of th broad Jump , the high jump and pole vaull ing , but it is propose ! to stl further enlarge it by the addition of otht American field sports. Thus It Is propose to have the shot put , the hammer throv sprints , basket ball , base ball and otht sports that are American or Engllsh-Amer can. This change Is directly the result i the American love for outdoor sports. Th sentiment has been Imbibed by the youn Bohemian-American and the change made to attract him to the sokol. At tt same time , the gymnasium of the society wl also Include those sports ot the Bohemia gymnasium which are now Included In tt system , for the sokol members right maintain that there Is no system which be ter brings about the desired physical de\e opmenL It is simply to meet the new cond tlon that the additions are made to recoi nlze that the scions of Bohemian natlvi In this country are Americans and are ii culcated with the American love of ouldoi sport. Another Important mailer lhat is to be d cided upon is regarding the establishment _ aschool , for Instructors. At present there a 'no Instructors to be secured In this countr or rather , there are but a few. Only a fe year * ago the sokol had to secure an 1 : structor from the old country It paid hi a. big salary , and after an expense of tho' ' sands ot dollars Incurred In having hi travel from society to society througho the country and instruct the members , t results were very unsatisfactory Cons quently It is the intention to establish som where a school where instructors may ' trained. In this the sokol Is but follow li In the steps of the German turners. There are a variety of other matters less Importance to be considered. When t society last met In Chicago , for instanc a lot of laws and regulations were adopt which were ot no use and are now of t dead letter character It Is proposed to e punge them from the rules of the soclel The matter of publishing the organ of t society semi-monthly Instead of monthly also to be settled. An afternoon meeting of the conventli was slated , but It was postponed becau . . . none of the committees were ready to r ' port. An adjournment was taken earl therefore , until evening , but when the bo met again at 8 o'clock the committees h not finished their work and another adjour ment was taken. The body will be co vened to order at S o'clock this morale It was scheduled that an adjournment si die should be taken today but tt is almc certain that the business of the body ca not be cleared away In time. The committees hare decided upon a pr posed change In the athletic system a upon the establishment of a normal schc of Instructors.

The children were confusei by a car going In the opposite direction however , and stepped almost in front o , the train. The wheels passed over on * child and the car had gone its own lengt ] beyond the spot before it could be stopped. CLOTHES ON THE RIVER BAM evidence of Proluihle Suicide of C. A.

DELEGATES WELCOMED TO THE CITY Fellcltoni ETehnnne of Vrrbnl Com- pllmcntM , Followed hy n Then ht- ful Vililrct * from President Flllebrown Routine Work. The amphitheater of Crelghton Medical college was fairly -veil filled yesterday fore noon when lhi flrsl annual meellng of Ihe National Dental association , was called ta order It opened with prayer by Dr Jonathan Taft of Cincinnati , O. , followed Immediately by the customary address of welcome by Mayor Moores , to which Dr. James Truman of Philadelphia responded. As ho presented the "golden kevs" ot the city to the president of the association Mayor Moores felicitously remarked that If anything in the city failed to osen lo ihem Ihe visiting dentists had the crlvllece of using their forceps or any other of the tools of their profession. I Though he had arranged , he said , with tha weather bureau for a hot time in the town I every night , somehow things had got mi-ted and a hot time was being assured for every day also He hoped the dream of absolutely painless dentistry micht some day be rea lized and praised the members on the prog ress they have made In this direction. Dr. Truman noted the wonderful changes which have come over the country particularly the passing of all sectionalism He did not overlook the advancement of the transmls- slsslppl region , and Omaha's splendid growth In particular Reports from the various committees anil the ameers of the association were next in order As the association Is joung there was llllle of public Interest submitted. President fllleliron ii'i Address. The feature of the ooenlnc session wai the addreis of the president , Dr Thomas Flllebrovvn ot Boston , Mass , who Is pro fessor of operative dentistry and oral sur gery In Harvard university He said among other things of a highly philosophical char acter Organization Is essential to the succes of any movement In which the corablnei effort of several Individuals Is concerned Our organizations ot the past were as gooi as the material of which they were com posed would afford Our present assoclatioi will be no better than Ihe knowledge cullure and enthusiastic efforts of Its mem hers will make it. The present name wa adopted as a result of a consensus of oplnlo obtained b > an extended eorrespondenc with interested members of the old as soclatlon. The fact that "National Donla association" so well harmonized will "National Association of Dental Facullie and Dental Examiners" was urged as cogent reason for its adoption You wll notice that no code of ethics has bee : adopted by this association. Your wisdor will decide If < mch is needed. The thing most essential to the success of our associa lion ara brains , education , application , en thuslasm and an unselfish devotion that wtl bring and lay on the altar of science all th sweet Incense of the best efforts ot ev r member. Professional relations must b governed by an entirely unselfish principle It will be a grave mistake for this associa tlon to allow business ethics and buslnes interels to again enter Into the conduct c its affairs The two dlstincllvely new features of ou present constitution are , first , the crcatlo of the divisions at the east , west and soutl and the holding of the annual meetings i each of them consecutively and second , th provision for the formation of business. T me Ihe future of the National Dental assa elation seems to be especially bright and en couraglng Its formation has combined th professional interests of North America. Dr Henry W Morgan ot Nashville , Tcnn the treasurer , reported that all members 1 good standing from the old association ha i been transferred to the new Vl.ogethc i there were 387 members in good standln ; and Ihe treasury has J'JSS 75 on Its crcd ; side.

An ordinance was passed for the epaving of Thirty-second avenue , between ) adge and Davenport. Communications were received from the mayor recommending that something be lone In the way of cleaning streets. The first was a veto of the resolution directing he Board of Public Works to expend J200 n cutting the weeds and 1500 la street repairs. The reason given by the mayor or his veto was that the amounts were too small ind would not begin to do the work required. He advised fully Jl.OOO for weed uttlng alone. The council unanimously sus tained the veto. The next was an initiatory recommendation from the major In the hape of a message calling attention to the filthy" condition of the streets and the absolule necessity for cleaning them , partic ularly those running northward In the di rection of the exposition. The exposition , he said , had two months yet to run and 11 something Is not soon done visitors will go away from the city with a bad Impression of the streets of Omaha and much of the value of Ihe exposlllon would be lost. On motion of Councilman Bechel this matter was referred to the finance committee Later In the evening a resolution from Councilman Burltley was adopted authorizing the Board of Public Works to spend Jl.OOO n cleaning up the paved streets by day's labor , payable out of the road fund.

A reference to the Judiciary committee was the disposition made ot the Initiative and referendum petition. City Clerk Hlgby reported that It had been filed too late for him to count the 3,104 names said to be attached to the document. The city clerk was authorized to purchase the necessary supplies for the registralior of the voters for this year A claim of a registrar , Butts , foi 1S97 was recommended to be disallowed Because Butts was ap pointed four days after the day for which he put In his claim , he having served on the day in dispute by taking advantage ot the fact that two men of the same name were appointed The mailer was sent to the finance committee. From the Herdman Fire and Police com missioners a communication was received informing the council they stood ready tc confer with a committee of the council on the question of retrenchment so as to secure additional fire apparatus. The finance com- mlllee was designated. The meeting was shorten than , usual , bu the desk was cleared. Several importan bills and estimates were acted upon.

The mayor is inclined to be lleve that such action is virtually putlln Into the hands of the board the question a condemning and repairing bad street pav Ing , and that the city engineer should b first consulted. This resolution had com from Councilman Karr at tha special meet ing of last week. President Bingham sal tha people are entitled to some relief and al the retolullon proposed Is to see if the re moval of the defective paving can be le gaily done.

BUFFALO BILL'S \ YILDVEST \ Colonel Cody and Hia Assistants Give Their Show Hero Again. NEW FEATURES OFFERED THE PUBLIC Manifold Attraction * of tinGrrnt Sho-iv Added to Mittrrliillr I'nilcr the direful Mnnitttpnii-nt of It * Originator. Colonel William F Cody was slvon a right royal welcome In the metropolis of his native state yesterday afternoon and even- Ins The people of Omaha and their nu merous cuests turned out In great numbers to creet the time-honored hero of the plains Whenever Bulfolo Bill aoDcured he was enthusiastically cheered and the pro gram of his Wild West show was well re ceived from Introduction to conclusion It has been two years since Colonel Cody exhibited bis Wild West show in Omaha , and the two crowds drawn yesterday were Indicative of the desire of the people of this city and \lcinlty to see the feats of horse manship , the cow boy tricks , the dexterity In the use of fire-arms , the Indians and the soldier ) that go to make up the unique and Interesting show Over 5,000 spectators witnessed the performance yesterday after noon , and although this number appeared to occupy e\ery available scat under the broad expanse of canvas. It was more than dupll- [ cated at the evening performance If the afternoon attendance was great , the evenIng - Ing crowd was greater , and all street car lines leading to and from the grounds were kept busy for an hour after the conclusion of the shows earning home the spectators. There were several unusual features about the lv o shows yesterday The first was the attendance of a number of Nebraska pioneers , who were the guests of Colonel Cody They came from many different points In the state , and all of them were enthusiastic In their appreciation of the show. The cheering from the reserved seats was led by John A Crelghton and Colonil James E. North , and was taken up bv other early settlers of this locality Another in teresting feature was the presence * of a couple of hundred Indiana from the Con gress of Indian Nations at the Transinls- slsslppl Exposition These occupied spe cial seats In the grand stand , and appeared to take 13 much Interest in the acts of their fellow redskins as did any of the others present After the conclusion of the after noon entertainment the exposition Indians visited their cousins who are attached to the show , and although most of them spoke different dialects of the Indian language they managed to make their greetings understood , and the half hour In which they fraternized was a show In Itself , though not down on the regular program. HIUiit HlTort. The show Itself Is the best ever given by Colonel Cody or any one else In the same line of business , in this city To the pro gram have been added at least four attrac tive features and former numbers that were of modloc-e quality have been dropped The various acts follow each other In such quick succession that there Is no oppor tunity for ennut. There are twenty-four numbers on he program and they are given in commendable style and with an exhil arating amount of dash. The spirit of the times Is adequately re flected In the presentation of several mili tary numbers. A detachment of United States artillery giv-ps a most interesting drill The artillerjmen are veterans from Captain Thorpe's battery D , Fifth regiment. United States artillery. They were well received , as were also a troop of United States cavalry from the celebrated Sixth regiment. The riders gave a marvelous ex hibition of horsemanship , military exercises and athletic sports as practiced at Fort Myer , Va. , under Colonel Sumner The cav alrymen woie the campaign uniforms adopted by the army for use on the frontier and rode western range broncho horses. A strictly up-to-date feature of this year's show , which also received hearty cheering clear around the big enclosure , -vas in the presentation of a troop of Cubans , said to be veterans of the Cuban campaigns against the Spanish forces in the liberated island They formed a color guard and were nattily attired In uniforms of canvas of a light shade of brown Each one of them was formally presented to the big audience and after his introduction galloped around the ring. It was announced that each of the Cubans had been wounded In the cause of Cuba Libre several times , but the riding of none of them resembled that of hospital patients. Win-re the Indian * Figure. A representation of the battle of Little Big Horn , in Montana , June 25 , 18T6 , is also given in a splendid manner , and adds an other rood feature to this year's program Preceding the battle , better known as Ous ter's last rally , are shown a great num ber of Indians In war paint , first In their camp , later In a wild war dance in front of their camp. A bevy of rancheras give an exhibition of daring horse riding They are introduced as genuine frontier girls , and they certainly ride as though they spent more than one or three seasons In riding the wildest bronchos of the plains. The remainder of the program la a pleasIng - Ing repetition of what has been seen here before with Buffalo Bill. The program is opened by the playing of "Star Spangled Bancer" by Bill Sweeney's Cowboy band. Then comes the grand review of the rough riders from the plains of all nations It is led by Colonel Cody himself , and is one of the most brilliant features of the show There are the Indians , cowboys , Mexicans , Cossacks. Gauchos , Arabs , scouts , guides , frontier girls and detachments of equipped soldiers representing tha armies of the United States , Great Britain , Germany , Rus sia and the color guard of the Cubans Snapshooting and other fine feats of marksmanship are displayed by Buffalo Bill , Annie OaKley and Jobany Baker , the latter another native of Nebraska who has achieved a great reputation by his dexterity In the use of firearms.

The sun shone yesterday with a good will , only exceeded on three days this summer From a moderate temperature of 74 degrees at 5 a. m It burned its way up the ther mometer past S7 at 10 a. m. , 94 at noon , to a top notch of M ) degres at 3 p. m. The thermometers on the streets , absorbing the radiation of the pavements , mounted as high as 105 degrees. After 3 o'clock there was a slight relief and the mercury was slowly forced back down the tube The only period this summer which surpassed the record made yesterday was on August 20 , 21 and 22 , when the thermometer regls- i tered 100 each day. Previous to those dates no day made even an. ambitious attempt to equal yesterday , the maximum registration before August 20 being 93 degrees. There was a brisk breeze nearly all day , ranging from fifteen to twentywo miles an hour , from the south and southeast. It was in no sense a cool breeze and the mem ber ot the family who Insisted usually that It was better to open doors and windows on a hot day in the interest of coolness was inclined to sldo with those who advocated closing sash and curtains It was far from being what the weather bureau technically terms a "hot wind , " however , as that is reserved for one so low In humidity that it absorbs all the moisture in vegetable life. The breeze yesterday was well enough sup plied with moisture of Its own to escape this charge , as It possessed 35 per cent ot the amount which marks total saturation. There was not sufficient moisture in the air , however , to make complete the discom fort of those whose duties led them about the streets That point was indicated by a local weather official as one which con tributed largely to the enjoyment of Omaha summers , for in localities where the humid ity reaches CO or 60 per cent , with the thermometer at the mark attained yester day , the result can only be numerous heat prostrations. In Omaha the low humidity allows the radiation of heat and the evap oration of the excess moisture from the body and accordingly reported heat prostrations In this vicinity are of very rare occurrence. It was suggested from Forecaster Welsh's office about 9 o'clock last night that today would be cooler. FI\D > 0 THACE OP PK01 ? . A > DnEE. Expedition Sent In Search of Arctic !
