FIRST SHOT BY XEBHASKAS Becomes Tired of Idly Watching the Spanish Behind Manila Fortifications , BEAR BRUNT OF SLCOND NIGHT ATTACK Slirll. AVIilrli KllliMl Private I-nix Al o HfrliiiinlyViHinilril I'rltntu ( ir.ir < : Iliirrlxiin Spnnl-.li 1'uy Jourl - for Tln-lr 'IVrcinltj. Through the courtesy of W. II. Walker , formerly a resident of Omaha , but now in Hon Kong. Chliia , with the Standard Oil company , 'j he Hue has received a copy of the China Mall , the leading paper of Hong Kong. It contains nil interesting account of the pcratlons at Manila up to and Including the two nlt'ht attacks of the Spanish on the American position , in the last of which the First Nebraska bore the brunt and Pri vate C. 1 , . Lowla was killed' . It also ap- Iiears that a Nebraska man tired the llrst shot sent by the American itrmy Into the Spanish lines. Following are some excerpts from the re ports sent by the Mall's special correspond ent : Within half a milo of thu front line , the natives have ruturneil to their homes. Here wu have peace. and war In Incongruous Jux- tapobition unit It IK not till the American outposts are pusued , some distance beyond the diversion of the "Canilno Keal" towards Pasay , that HO Jlnd the houses desecwd. The American troops uniler General Greene n command have invcnled the Spnish lines fioni the lHiicli : some few hundreds of yards inland towards l'a , y. The solulers were marched out theio with Instructions to en trench thumselvert between the Filipinos and the Spanish lines and on no account to llr.a unii > ss first attacked by the Spaniards. The t now trenches art- eighty yards beyond I the Insurgent , lines , nearer Malate , and the I American lines embrace two houue of ' Kuropcun design one said to bo the housu of an Englishman , the other the residence of a. Kpuniuid. The Englishman's house Is nearvut the shore. Ueslde It , Captain Urant of thu I tali Held artillery had thrown up heavy earthworks In which one lield pleoj will be mounted. A line of ride pits connects - , I nocts Captain Grant's battery with that of Captain Young ( also of the Utah light nri i i tlllery ) , whoso earthworks extend eastward , Ix'jomi the fc'paniiini's house.o were in troduced In tie trench to Captain Young , who Is a grandson of the late Mormon prophet , IVrigham Young. Gabions of bamboo wattlework were thrown up and the men wore busy with pick and shovel build ing up a. substantial earthwork and prepar ing platforms for the two Held pieces lying ready at hand to place In position. Kir * I Mint liy u .Ni-liriiHUim. These operations wcro covered by a bat talion of the Klrst Nebraska volunteers , who had replaced the First Colorados in the trenches that moriilng. Thu two houses In the- lines presented a terrible example of the destructive elt'ects of the Spanish mid Insurgent fire. The walls have boon per forated by shot and shell. Everywhere the woodwork la pitted or torn by bullets. In the lintel of one doorway we counted no less than thirty-seven bullets. American soldiers , with their bayonets and oilier in struments , wcro picking out the bullets to keep as souvenirs of thu operations in the J'hulpplnes. Thcro may come a time when these snino young fellows wl ! ! have become BO familiarized with bullets and other war- llko mlsftllc-B that their proclivity for relic limiting will disappear. A poitlon of a two-Inch shell , some Mauser bullets and leaden pellets fell to the lot of our pa'.ly. On the second lloor of the Spanish h use four cement barrels lillevl with earth were Rttirk through the wall facing Mahite fort. Behind each barrel crouched a NebrasKan sharpshooter , hl rllle ready to knock over the llrst Spaniard appearing above cover. My companions had returned to the trenches and the Infantry olllrcr and I wcro en deavoring to distinguish borne figures on the landscape , when the man next to me pullc-d the trigger and sent the llrst Ameri can bullut speeding towards thu Spanish lines. I confess I could not see any Span- lard. A mlnuto or two before a Spanish olllcer appeared at the broken roof of a thatched hquae , took a survey of the- Ameri can movements through a telescope and then disappeared from view Just as our sharp shooters were preparing to get his range. Hut whnn the llrst shot was llred I saw no one , although we seemed to bo less than COO yards from the opposite lines. The Nebraskan - braskan olllcer , however , stated positively that ho could distinguish the dark forms of Spanish soldiers creeping stealthily from trench to trench , and presumably his rncn had made ou , . the objects at the same time. Wo could not tell the effect of the first shot. Not that any ono seemed to care much. At the time there were twenty or thirty men at work In the house tearing up the lloor to make a platform In the trenches. The ilrst shot was the signal for a stampede for fno Btalr. In less tlmo than It takes to tell there was no ono In the house but the Ne- braskati olllcor , his four sharpshooters and myself and as soon as I realized the proba bility of the Spaniards returning the llro Into the house I did not hesitate about Joining the remainder of our party In the trenches. More llniiRt'r til lilt ? llc-ur. It was u thrilling experience ; but after all I believe there was lews danger where we wore than In the Immediate rear , for , as I explained In a previous letter , the Spar- lards Invariably shoot high and the danger zone Is about half a inlla behind the trenches. That this Is so Is shown by the fact that a private In the First Colorado volunttore Private William Sterling. Com pany K was wounded while on outpiwt duty on the Pasay road on the previous day. A Mauser bullet passed through his left arm , but the wound Is not dangerous. Yesterday , to the right and In the Immediate rear of the American lines , a native was killed. He was kindling a llro when the Mauser bullet passed through his head. A small pamphlet published for the benefit of the troops em ployed In the Philippines expedition and Borvod out to the men states that with the Snanlsh Mauser rlllo the maximum Oxed danger zone against standing Infantry Is CIO yards from the muzzle ; against cavalry. ' ' ' ' 'Vn'oc'a'ualntaiicc. wltli all these facts made our Journey carnpwards rather more ex hilarating than comfortable.

Western roads are having difficulty In reaching a satisfactory arrang.mcnt with respect to rates for the Knights Templar conclave at Plttsburg In Octob r. The Central Passenger association j roads have announced a rate of one faro for the round trip , and a similar proposition was submitted to the western roads today after they had refuted to acrcc to a rate of ono fare plus J2 for the round trip. In the prop osition submitted today It Is proposed to make the selling dates October 7 to 10 In territory east of Utah and October G and 9 from Utah. The return limit proposed Is October 17 , subject to an extension on de posit of ticket with the Joint agent and the payment of n ftO-ccnt fee. Meantime the Iliirlington , Cedar Uaplds & Northern road has given notice of Its Intention to take Individual action by putting Into effect over Its lines the arrangements adopted by the Central Passencer association. This will probably force the adoption of the proposi tion submitted today. \VlTiiii-ln < i-iiCrnl llcmiH. MILWAUKEE. Sept. 5. T. Jefferson CoolIdge - Idge , Charles K.

Heavy Travel for loiulny. Travel Into Omaha on Labor day was the most numerous that has been observed on any Monday of the exposition , except July 4. There were no special trains , but nil of the regular trains carried extra coaches'and were crowded to the guards. There , was scarcely a morning train that did not bring In some fire company to take part tu the big parade. In addition to the firemen hero were hundreds of other exposition vis- tors who took advantage of the reduced rates offered. CIIIIK | < * .Motive ro\vor on COK Honil.

The September number of the Corn Belt , Issued by the Uurllugton railroad , has a largo frontispiece of the Ciovernmi-nt build ing as It appears nt night , and also con- train four large pictures of animated scenes about the Midway nnd other parts of the exposition. The Union Pacific did n big pussenger bus iness Into Cheyenne , Wyo. , on Labor day. Over twenty carloads of pcrplo , for that town were hauled In during the morning. The attraclou was a triple bill , In which the Wild West show , the I/ibor day celebra tion nml the festivities of Frontier day each had a part. The railroad weather reports show that the rain of Sunday afternoon fell very lightly outside of Omaha. The Union Paclllc reports rain between Omaha and Elkhorn , twenty-elcht miles. The llurltngtou re- porte'd light rain at Omaha , Ashland , Rule , Syracuse , Illckman and at some points In Wyoming niml Montana. The Missouri Pacific reports that the out look for a largo attendance nt the exposition on Friday Is exceptionally bright on account of numerous parties of Woodmen of the World who will visit here on that day. The Union Pacific , nurllngton and Rock Island rallrrads also expect to bring In big crowds of Colorado people on the same day to cele brate their state day at the exposition. A remarkable Illustration of the publicity of the exposition In Montana Is shown by the arrival of a party of thirty-eight people ple from I.ewlston , Ifont. , to help celebrate Montana day at the exposition on Tuesday. The little town of Lewlston Is somewhat over 120 miles remote from , the nearest rail road station , and the party drove overland tn Timings , Mont. , to take the train for Omaha. There Is a good chance that the reduced rates made for Modern Woodmen day at the exposition will be extended. The Omaha passenger men have Joined In n request to extend the limit on the tickets for this occa sion from two to five days , nnd to Increase the radius In which the tlckds mav be ROW from 200 to ROO miles.

He said the associa tion had often met In Omaha and been , well received , but never had the surrouud- Ings been so pleasant as this year. He was ; sure the mayor's welcome was as warm and sincere tea home body of people Vikc this as It has bct'n to those who gathered from all parts of the country. He said they wcro i all proud of the exposition , which , if the World's fair had not been held , would bo the greatest exposition In the world's his tory. Ho hoped when the association ad journed the visitors would turn the nity back to the major In as good condition as when they .received It , without blem ishes or scars , and wanted the mayor to male : n similar promise to the pharma cists. President Frlcko made his annual ad dress , reviewing the work ot the associa tion during the last year and urging the Importance of the members attending the exposition while In the city , as there arc many exhibits there of special Interest to them. He hoped for more harmony among the druggists and less cutting of prices In meeting competition , and advocated a na tional retail' association as a better protec- ' tlon of the business. He closed by calling attention to the death during the year of J C. M. Clark , n member of the State Hoard of Pharmacy. He then appointed the pres ent members of the board as a committee on resolutions to take proper notice of Mr. Clark's death.

Hen Thomas , aged 7 , was the spokesman of the gang. Ho was still dressed in the gaudy Imitation fireman's helmet and shield lie wore when arrested. Between sobs ho told how the boys , who had their envy fired by the sight of the large number of uniformed firemen and soldiers on the streets , had determined to dress like them. The sight of the uniforms In the store was so tempting , ho said , that they helped themselves without realizing the serious ness of their acts.

Boycc was one of the forty more recent appointees to the force on a ninety-day probation. It was set up by his attorney that Boyco had com pleted his period of trial and was discharged about two weeks afterward , which , It was alleged , could not he done without a hearing. This argument was favorably received by the commissioners , and Boyce was reinstated pending a hearing of charges which the chief of police was Instructed to bring. The outlawed board seems to have adopted the system of discharging men and investi gating afterward , as lloyco Is the * second of the three men recently discharged who hns been reinstated , Costello also having proved to the board's satisfaction that his discharge had been hasty.

When we planned this great exposition ol : Nebraska's bargains ! it wasn't , our intention to do anything startling , or to make any sensational de parture from our regular practice of selling things uniformly cheap. Our idea was to take the regular every day prices which people pay for clothing , and to show the big difference in favor of The Nebraska's goods at the same price. T.iis twelve dollar suit which we call attention to this morning , is only ono of the half a dozen styles at the same price. It is a dark unfinished worsted in small check pattern , woven in two shades oi' brown , and has that soft , soft , silky , springy feeling whice is never found ex cept in fabrics of high grade. ' It is made up in the fashionable Kegent sack cut , has notched vest , and graduated trousers , and is finished in the wide satin piped linings to match the cloth. We don't know what others would ask Tor these suits if they had them , but we do know that they are the best twelve dollar suits we ever offered and we stake our reputa tion that they are the be.4 twelve dollar suits to bo found in America today. We know the history of these suits from mill to makers , and we know that twelve dollars wouldn't buy the cloth in them today. The people receive the values wo promise.
