CO to Omaha girls, tho highest on the list
to bo allowed first choice. Three other trips
not down in tho books go to young women
from tho' northern part of the state, und as
many from the district south of tho Platte.
Two trips will bo divided In western Iowa
and ono In Council Bluffs In particular. Tho
announcement that Tho Dee had been vastly
better than Its word was received with a
further showing ot enthusiasm, particularly
by thoso who had not been ablo to qualify.
Tho routes ot tho additional trips follow tho
regular '11st given below.
in tho outcomo among the Omaha partici
pants there was only ono surprise the ef
fective rally of Miss Estclle Van Horn of
tho Nebraska Clothing comany. Miss Van
Horn roso from tho comparatlvo obscurity
of tenth -place to the top notch with the
sufficient margin to spare of over 2,000. Tho
first In tho race has managed her own cam
paign and has relied largely upon her long
rcsldenco In tho city find consequent broad
acquaintance to bring her votes, She has
been cashier In tho Nebraska storo for
nearly ten years.
In her campaign work Miss Van Horn
disregarded to a large extent tho single
coupons, although these, too, wcro gladly
received. Her attention was directed espe
cially toward securing subscriptions In ad
vance, as sho realized that ono year'B en
rollment bringing 780 votes was enough to
overbalance much more extended pains in
gathering together tho paper slips. Miss
Vnn Horn's employers allowed her consid
erable tlmo to look out for her Interests,
which she appears to havo been fully com
petent to do.
The other Omaha women who finished In
tho first halt dozen had apparently ex
hausted to a largo extent their reserve
force before reaching the climax. Miss Mil
ler, In thoemploy of A. l'otorson, the flor
ist, mm I o an almost equally notnblo spurt
nt the' close and gavo the leader no room to
spare. Harely 1,000 behind her ranie Miss
Btlllwell, whoso name had appeared for sev
eral days In black laced type.
Miss Parrlsh, who has held tho leadership
during most ot tho closing fortnight, found
her strength largely exhausted on the final
day and was unable to finish with tho first
tlx. With thrcb other straggling ones, how
ever, her merit and hard work wero recog
nized In the additional trips.
Tho sensational fenturcs of the closing
hour wcro grouped about the towns of
northern Nebraska, whore on abandon of
communistic loyalty showed Itself. A cam
palgn had been organized by tho different
candidates which had Its ramifications In
(very part of the state. It was no individual
contest among young women, but a civil
itrlfo In which the honor of town and
county was bound up, Tho townspeople
throw themsolves Into tho struggle with a
spirit which counted no cost, The enter
prising towns of the north fell Into n pace
far marc speedy than that aspired to In hot
weather by city mon, and tho motto of a
certain town, "Swifter Than tho Swift," had
reference to the exertions of a metropolitan
concern in tho contest one year ago.
Shortly after tho contest was announced
the students of the Nebraska Normal col
lego at Wayne started a movement In be
half ot Mlos Cella M. Chase, Instructor In
literature and history. Tho school and its
outside friends took tho matter up with
hoitrty good will and college spirit and MIs
Chaio was soon well on the top wave. The
2,000 peoplo of the town looked on with
mild approval. There was one trip con

felt with natural pride that their young
woman was entitled to the outing.
Their complaisant attitude, however, waa
rudely disturbed, for a rival had come Into
tho field with a no less enthusiastic follow
ing. Miss Clara Mohl, assistant postmistress
at West Point, was presented to the public
by Postmaster Krauss and Frederick Son
nenschcln, tho latter being the uncle of the
candidato and well known in tho politics ot
that portion ot tho state. Miss Mohl threat
ened to take tho honors, ns her position
gavo her a wide acquaintance throughout the
surrounding country and her friends were
loyal and active.
Then a campaign was organized by both
sides which has had no parellol In any con
test ever conducted In tho state. Tho
loadors on the Chase side were Presi
dent J M. PHo of tho Nebraska Normal and
Sam Davlcs of Wayne. Hundreds ot let
ters wero sent to former students through
out the state, appealing to their loyalty for
their alma mater. Seventy half-yearly sub
scriptions weru taken by the undergraduates
alone, and Omaha Dees cover floor oud table
In ovcry room ot tho Institution. Business
mon who had passed the three-scoro mark
hitched up their teams and canvassed sub
scriptions through the county. Delegations
woro sent to York, Beemcr, Pierce and
neighboring towns and the Inhabitants wero
converted to tho Chase cause.
During the last week the news came that
the West Pointers were causing serious de
fections in Burt county and a town meeting
was called to meet the emergency. A purse
of respectable proportions was raised and
paid emissaries were appointed to swing the
doubtful county back Into line. The tid
ings from tho front that West Point and
Fremont had formed an aillanco acted as a
further spur and tho contest was tho themo
ot thought and conversation In tho town. It
was only with such co-operation that It was
posslblo to roll up 312,813 votes for Miss
Chase.
Miss Chase Is 25 years old and was edu
cated at Donne college, later taking a course
at the Nebraska Normal. Sho then secured
a position as teacher at York and was later
appointed a teacher nt tho Nebraska Normal
college. Miss Choso Is tho support of a
widowed mother, who will accompany her on
her trip.
Although West Point waa unable to copo
with tho student enthusiasm ot Its ulster
town tho earnest labor performed In Mlw
Mohl's behalf will not go without Its full
reward. Miss Mohl will be Included In the
extra trips arranged by Tho lice and In
recognition of the especial efforts exerted
for her all her travollng expenses will be
met and a traveling companion provided as
In the case of thoso finishing In tho first
rank. Even this recompense, however, does
not fully console the West Pointers In their
defeat, which every Inhabitant of the town
appcare to assume as a personal misfortune.
Ono West Tolnter arrived in Omaha late In
tho afternoon, his satchel bearing 100,000
coupons and his pockets bulging with cards
neatly embellished with tho photograph ot
tho town's horolne. It was not tho simple
winning of a ticket and hotel expenses that
he coveted, ho said, but tho victory for Its
own soke, as his fellow townsmen .were
waiting to duly eclebrato when his assur
ance of victory arrived. Miss Mohl is
twenty years old and has never taken a
vacation since she secured employment sev
eral years ago. She lives with her mother
and sitter In West Point.
In southern Nebrnrka there was a town
divided against Itself which still had sum
dent vitality to win trophies for both Its
representatives. Miss OHIe Holmes and
Mli 3 Annio Hopkins were both able- to pan
the 50,000 mark, although they were obliged
to draw their support from tho tamo com
munity. Under the enlarged offer, also.

dozen:
From Omaha via the Union Pacific, tho
Overland route, to Salt Lake City. This
trip through tho heart of Nebraska is an
education In Itself, teaching the resources
of Nebraska and giving a view of tho most
thriving towns ot our state. Tho nltltudo
gradually increases until nt Cheyenne one
Is 6,950 feet above the ocean, soon plunging
into the Rocky mountains,' through the
grandest scenery of all the continent. This
Includes ten days at Hotel Knutsfordat Salt
Lako City, the reputation of which extends
In either direction across tho continent ns
one of tho finest hostolrles In the country.
when one goes to Salt Lako tho Knutsford
Is tho place at which everybody stops. Salt
Lake always haB moro than ordinary attrac
tions on account of' the great Salt lake
Salt Lako is within easy reach of Saltalr
beach, famous for Its splendid bathing fa
cilities und handsome pavllllon. Tho re
turn trip will be via Denver, with threo
UayB ut the Brown Pnlaco hotel, the Just
prldo of Denver. It is well named, for It Is
a veritable puiace. A day's excursion
nround tho famous Georgetown loop and
then return homo via the Union Pacific.
From Omaha to St. Louis over tho Omaha
&. St. Louis railroad and tho Wabash, with
threo days nt tho Southern hotel, with Its
broHd corridors and its Ideal servico. Thero
Is something about tho Southern hotel
which makes It unlike anything In tho land,
whothcr It is tho fact that It corablnea tho
luxury of tho modern hotel with tho home
like atmosphere nnd tho courtesy of tho
old southern hostelry, or whether It Is be-
causo no stone la left unturned to make tho
guest comfortable, It Is hard to say. From
St .Louis to Toledo, with a day to rest
from tho long Journey at tho Boody houBo,
Toledo's lending hotel. It Is so aonven-
lently located that It Is easy to get a
glimpse of Toledo, as woll as enjoying tho
splendid hotel service of tho Boody house
From Toledo It Is a threo hours' rldo over
tho waters of Lnko Erlo from Toledo to
Put-ln-Bay on ono of tho Detroit nnd Cleve
land coast lino steamers, which so com
pletely combine safety, comfort nnd speed
and which afford comfort and luxury 'to
those who havo the opportunity to enjoy a
lake trip. Two weeks at Hotel Victory
at Put-In-Bay will glvo n thorough enjoy
ment of the puro lako air and the luxuries
of probably tho finest hotel on tho Inkcs.
The Hotel Victory has an envlnblo reputa
Iton, which has been well earned.
From Omnhn to Chicago and return over
the Milwaukee road, tho only electric
lighted train between the two cities, through
tho fertile farming districts of Iowa nnd
Illinois, At CMcngo there will be a two
days' stay at the Grand Pacific hotel, with
an opportunity to see something of Chi
cago, with headquarters at this most con
venlcntly located hostelry. From Chicago
the Lake Shore & New York Central run
the swiftest trains to New York. Ten
days spent In New York City at Hotel
Gerard will give an opportunity to see the
great metropolis and everything of Interest.
Tho Hotel Gerard Is located on Forty-
fourth street, Just off of Broadwny, and Is
a most convenlentas well ns a most do
llghtful placo to stay. While "Now York
Itself Is not u summer resort. It has some
other attractions, which some young woman
will enjoy, because of no opportunity nt a
better season nnd It Is within a stone's
throw almost of a few days' excursion to
the seashoro and other summer resorts.
From Omaha to Estes Park, Colo, over
the Burlington brings one to what Is not a
"fashionable resort," but one of tho best
places for real sport and an Ideal summer
vacation In the- west. Hiding, driving,
fishing, bicycling, mountain climbing or a
book In a shady corner of the hotel ve
randa, breathing tho mountain nlr, will be
a tonle for nny one. Tho snow-enpped peaks
on every side, numberless little streams
nnd the green valleys are surroundings
which are truly Inspiring. On Willow
creek, near tho entrance nnd commanding
a fine view of the park, Is Estes Park hotel.
its table Is nlways adequate to supply the
appetite, stimulated by the mountain at
mosphere, Rtid everything is thoroughly
comfortnble and commodious. The return
trip will be via Denver, with three days nt
the Brown .Palaco hotel. Denver Itself U
always Interesting to the sightseer und tho
Brown Palace affords a most excellent
headquarters In every way. Without a
trip to Georgetown and Silver Plume,
through Clear Creek canon, no visit to
Colorado would be complete. It wilt oc
cupy a day beforo the return to Omaha by
the Burlington route.
This trip will be on tho newest road from
Omaha to Chicago. The Illinois Central
combines tho newest road with the moat up-to-date,
highest-priced equipment tho only
road entering Chicago at a lake front sta
tion. A day's stop In Chicago at the fa
mous Grand Pnclflc hotel, nnd then to th2
northward over the Pero-Marquetto rail
road toward tho prettiest spot In nil the
stnto of Michigan welt named "Chnrlcvolx,
tho Beautiful." The Bclvldcro hotel has
been chosen for a two weeks' breath of
lnkc nlr. It is not only beautifully sit
uated on a point of land between Hound
nnd Pine lakes, but Is such a homelike hotel
that tho pleasure Is doubled. There Is
everything ono can wish for In tho way of
amusement sailing, rowing, bicycling, ten
nis, bathing, bowling, golfing nnd Ashing,
together with numerous excursions on the
many little launches nnd steamers on Pine
nnd Hound lakes or out on Lake Michigan,
with all the chnnces In tho world to de
light tho eye nnd enjoy the pure nlr, which
nets ns a tonic to shattered nerves, Tho
return trip will bo by wnter on the steam-
shlp Munltou to Chicago, nnd homo again
over tho Illinois Central. (Class A.)
From Omaha to Chicago over the North
western Is but a night's ride, and the most
pleasant one In these days of railroad luxury.
A doublo track span between Omaha and
Chicago makes It n safe ns well ns a pleas
ant Journey. A day's stop nt tho Grand
Pacific hotel, centrally located, will give
an opportunity for a hasty glimpse of Chl-
cngo, and then a 175-mlle ride will bring
ono to Green Lake, Wis., which is ten
miles long nnd from two to four mllej wide.
With Its richly wooded shores, added to Its
commodious summer hotels and cottages, It
would be a pleasure to think of what "ninety
In tho shade" would be In tho store, offlce
or factory. Two weeks at the Onkwood,
which Is the best hotel nt Green Lake, Is
certainly a delightful prospect. No plcas
antcr place could be found to spend the
summer. Boats nnd nil kinds of shndy
drives and splendid fishing, make It ono of
tho most nttractlve spots In Wisconsin
The weekly yacht races nnd hop add to the
gnlety which can be expected. (Class A.)
This trip Is over tho Fremont, Elkhorn
& Missouri Vnlley railroad to the Black Hills
nnd Hot Springs nnd return. Tho Elkhorn
carries you through one of the most beau
tlfuj farming countries in the world tho
Elkhorn valley, with its fertile fields and
well-built burgs. Thence to tho Bllck Hills,
both picturesque and Interesting, with Its
gold mines and typical western towns. The
chief attraction there will bo a two weeks'
stay at tho Hotel Evans, the finest appointed
hotel In tho west, at Hot Springs, which
boasts of the largest and finest plunge bath
In America. This will Include all of the
privileges of tlio baths, without expense nnd
also the free use of tho Evans golf links,
which ore treats to be envied. Pleasant
patts and drives, wonderful caves, cascades,
canyons, flowers and waterfalls go to make
up, the beauties which nature has abundantly
furnished. ' (ClusnxA.)
The three trips named below aro for the
young women of southern and northern iNo
bruska nnd eastern Iown, tho highest to
take first choice: '
From Omaha to Kansas City over the
Missouri Pacific, with threo days at the big
gest and best hotel In the west the Coatos
house. Tho Coates house Is eminently tho
leading hotel of Kansas City, nnd the trav
eler naturally says "the Coates house" In
the same breath with "Kansas City." From
Kansas City to Warrcnsburg, Mo., Is but a
comparatively short trip. Just outside of
Worrensburg is Pertle Springs, and the
Hotel Mlnnowawn, where everything Is as
delightfully refreshing ns tho name. It Is
decidedly restful there, but still there Is
plenty to do if one has the inclination
boating, fishing, driving and other season."
able pleasures never allow tlmo to han
heavy. Two weeks thero will convince th
fortunate young lady that the time Is alto
gether too short. (Class B.)
This trip will be over tho Great nock
Island routo to Denver, Colorado Springs
nnd Manltou. Thero Is only uno Hock
Island routo nnd everybody praises Its
splendid equipment nnd rollablo service. A
night's Journey nnd then ono Is in Denver,
with three days at tho Brown Palaco hotel.
A day's excursion on tho "Colorado road,"
through tho Clear Creek canon, up to
Georgetown, around the famous loop and
then back again to Denver beforo evening.
From Denver to Manltou, over tho Chicago,
Hock Island & Pacific, with threo days at
tho Alta Vista, tho best hotel at Colorado
Springs, with another vlow of tho grandeur
or mo UOCK1C3 and within easy reach of
tho wonders of tho Garden of tho Gods nnd
nil that Is famous In Colorado. A dny will
bo spent In climbing Pike's penk on that
wonderful railroad, tho Plko's Peak rail
way, "the Cogwheel route." From Manl
tou over the Denver & Mo Grnndo, through
tho famous Hoyal gorge, with Its 3,000 foot
of towering rock, into tho Grand canon, and
at last reaching Olenwood Springs and Hotel
Colorado, for ten days' pleasure thero, In
cluding bath privilege at tho finest baths
In America. No moro beautiful situation
for a hotel will bo found than this romantic
spot, with Its puro mountain air nnd mng
nlflcont scenery.
No traveler between Omaha and Chicago
really appreciates the trip unles they take
a daylight train over the Burlington routo.
which affords fast service over ft smooth
road, ns well ns tho opportunity to see this
splendid country. Two days at tho Grnnd
Pacific nt Chicago, which has been entirely
rebuilt during tho last year or so, making
It second to no hostelry In Chicago. From
Chicago to Lake Geneva, with two weeks at
the Kayo's Park hotel Is ft prospect not
only for a cool and beautiful vacation trip,
but the pleasure at staying at so well an
equipped hotel makes tho trip doubly do
slrable, The lake is a most beautiful sheet
of water, twenty-four miles In clrcumfor
enco and an almost lnflnlto variety of
charming scenes, Its shores aro lined for
miles with summer residences, club houses
and hotels, which leave no doubt of Its
popularity. Fishing, boating, driving nnd
the kindred summer pleasures aro nt any

The return trip will bo via Chicago and
again over tho Burlington route, with a
chance to compare the night service with
the daylight trip.

Thero Is dissension In the ranks of tho
local democracy and It looks now as If tho
"get together" problem would remain un
solved for some time to come. An attempt
wns made Friday night to amalgamate tho
two warring political clubs, but tho scheme
fell through becauso of personal differences
existing botween the members of the two
organizations, On ono sldo there Is tho
Brynn nnd Stevenson club with Dr. W. J.
McCrnnn as president nnd on tho other
tho Bryan club presided over by Dr. W. S.
White. Somo of the long-headed democrats
docldcd that It would be a good Idea to havo
Edgar Howard deliver an address hero Frl
day night In an attempt to get the members
of the fighting factions together. Tho scheme
failed, however, ns tho fnctlon headed by Dr.
McCrann refused to attend the Howard
meeting or nccept nny overtures of peace.
In speaking of the lack of harmony among
tho democrats hero n member of the demo
cratic central committee said yesterday:
"As n private In the ranks I deelrc to tnkc
exceptions to tho remarks of ono of tho so
called leaders of tho party hero. Thomas
J. Nolan asserts that the regular democratic
county central committee docs not amount
to much. Well, the source ot this untimely
remark must bo considered, ns self-constituted
leaders, such as Dolan Is, have
brought the democratic party many a de
feat. While tho members of tho county
central commltteo were spending their time
and money trying to elect the democratic
ticket In South Omaha last spring Dolan and
his associates wero out knifing tho ticket
from top to bottom. This same Thomas J.
Nolan was removed from tho office ot at
torney of the Board of Education by the
democratic majority of tho board because
he had supported tho republican candidates
for members of tho Board of Education.
This so-called leader wants tho democrats
to get togqthcr under his protecting wing.
I Ray emphatically that the majority of dem
ocrats In South Omaha will have nothing to
do with Nolan and bis gang of obstruction
ists. I have always been a democrat and
havo time and aguln paid money out ot my
pocket to get such democrats ta work for our
ticket. With Nolan and his running mates
out of tho way the democrats would have no
trouble in getting together."
Other members of the central committee
talked In a similar strain and heartily ap
proved the statements above made.
City Improvement Needed.
Mayor Kelly and a numebr of the mem
bers of the city council are considering tho
advisability of creating tho office of city
prosecutor, as the legal business of the city
has Increased to such an extent that tho
city attorney has little time to attend to
pollco court esses.
So many cases against the city are con
tinually being hrought In the district court
that tho city attorney U kept oh the Jump
preparing answers and securing witnesses
that he has no time, to devote to case in
tho pollco court. It Is assorted that. If a
city prosecutor Is appointed, enough money
In fines can bo collected to moro than pay
tho salary of such an officer. In addition
the prosecutor could perform considerable

NEW YOKK, July 21. The Evcnlug World
publishes tho following from Its Tleu Tsln
correspondent under date of Che Foo, July
19, via Shanghai, July 21:
Tho attack on tho native city of Tien Tsln
on July 13 resulted in the narrowest escape
from whnt seemed up to midnight would bo
a terrible disaster for the allies. Tho Hub
slans swinging north and the other allies
south, at daybreak tho Huralans were to
tnko tho forts near tho native city wall
and the other allien the city Itself.
General Fukushlnn, the Japanese com
mander, promised that tho Japnnese en
gineers, nfter three hours' shell llro from
all guns would cross tho bridge over the
moat before tho wall, and, blowing up tho
groat south gate, mako a brench tor tho
infnntty to enter.
Upon this depeuded everything. General
Fukushtna had not scouted tho bridge und
In twenty-four hours had not scouted tho
ground over v;hlch tho charge on the brldgo
had to bo mado.
Tho Chinese destroyed tho bridge nnd
flooded tho land around It. The allies' shell
fire In no wise subdued tho Chinese rifle
fire from tho loop-holed wall, which was
thirty feet high, with a moat twenty feet
In depth around It. An outer wall of mud
made It Impossible for tho Infantry and
marines coming on the field to reply to
tho Chlneso fire. They lost fifty men In
ten minutes, then rushed back from tho
mud wall, which they had reached.
General Dorward, tho British commander,
hastened forward with n fragmentary In
stead of an Integral skirmish line.
Tho American marines and the Welsh
fusiliers, together under command of Waller,
were on tho cxtremo left. Thou the Brit
ish marines and the French advanced with
tho Japanese alonjf tho road toward tho
gate In the mud wall.
Dorward's plan for tho Americans to sup
port the Jnpancso was not made clear lo
Colonel Llssum of tho Ninth United States
Infantry. Dorward lays tho blamo for tho
blunder and sacrifice of life on Llscum,
but Dorward's chief of staff was heard to
Bay when Llscum moved;
"Get In down tho road anywhere, quickly."
Colonel Llscum hurriedly led his men
through tho gato In as open order as pos
sible. They wcro Immediately under fire.
Tho staff saw them pass over the bridge
leading to a field which proved to bo a
euldesac.
Cmlcr Fire nt Oner,
Before the two battalions of Americans,
numbering 426 men, could extend them
selves, they woro subjected, besides the flro
from the loopholes In the fort, to n fierce
flro from tho embrasures In a lino of fortl-
fled mud houses on their flank. Threo thou
sand rifles, probably, were turned on them
with an accuracy which has amozed ovcry
officer among tho allies.
Tho blue. shirts of tho American troops
made them distinct marks whero the khaki
uniforms of tho other allies could not have
been seen. Colonel Llscum, guiding hU
men, walked up and down the line, not
even ducking his head while tho bullets fell
around.
Tho Americans charged Into tho flank
Are with rushes. Tho ground over which
they charged was marshy and lined with
ditches. It was evidently Colonel LlscUm's
Intention to rush the houses from which the
flank flro Was coming nnd thus get n posi
tion for flanking the wall.
At 12:30 tho lino had Just renrhod the
shore of tho ranal and thirty yanltf sep
arated them from tho houses, when the
color bearer fell. Colonel Llscum plckod up
tho colors and stood looking around, ap
parently for a ford.
"Bettor got down or they'll hit you,"
shouted Major Hegan.
"I guess not," was Llscum's reply.
The next Instant a sharpshooter's bullet
went through the colonel's abdomen.
"I've got It," ho said ae ho fell.
Murom (Srlt to the l,nl,
"Get at them If you can," the dying
officer said, and nddeil as his last words:
"Don't retreat, boys; keep on flrlng."
Hogan was hit Immediately afterward.
All day long tho Hllles' line lay under any
cover the men could find, running out of
ammunition. The July sun was beating
down on them, and thoy had n''hlng to
drink but the salty marsh wnter.
Meanwhllo the wounded came struggling
and crawling through tho gate lu tho mud
wall. There was no order. Thoy were sent
anywhere without men to carry the litters.
Tho doctors were hit by tho sharpthootern
while trying to attend the wounded of the
Ninth, They could not attempt to carry
off tho wounded from tho bloody flold.
Major Hegan, Captain Bookmlllor nnd
Captain Noyea wcro nil hit twice.
Noyes, who was adjutant, wns hit In tho
arm beforo going Into tho field, und then
hit In the log, Ho crawled back through
tho ditch, with the water lo his neck, to
report the situation to Colonel Dorward.
At 1 o'clock General Fukushlna reported
In writing to Dorward thnt tho Japanese
woro In the city. I could eeo loopholes blaz
ing bullets and lyddite shells.
No Infantry could charge In tho face of
this fire from 1 o'clock until r..
Although nctlng conjointly, neither Dor
ward nor Fukushlna knew each other's
whereabouts,
Under cover of tho darkness the men of
the Ninth crept back from their dangerous
positions bearing their wounded. They
executed this movement with a loss ot ono
man killed. The casualties wero ninety. ono
men and five offirers nut of 425,
The marines Inst thirty, Including Captain
Davis, who was shot thenugh tho heart
while talking to Colonel Meade on tho night
of July 13.
It was decided to withdraw when the
nows came that tho Chinese wero evacuat
ing. The Hussions were not bo successful
as hoped during the day and the total loss
of tho allies was 700,
