LOS ANGELES, Cal.. April 29. (Special
Correspondence.) Few of the representa
tive of tbe Woman's clubs of Nebraska
who made up tbe delegation that left Omaba
Thursday evening. April 24, will forget
tbelr flv days' Journey to Los Angeles to
tbe sixth biennial convention of tbe Cen
tral Federation of Woman's clubs. Started
off with the cordial enthusiasm of the less
fortunate one who were to remain at home,
the spirits of the women were high and In
pit of the fatigue and discomforts In
cident to a long Journey the party reached
Its destination but little the worse for
wear and still anxious to remain together
In the convention city.
Reaching Kansas City Friday morning
(he delegation scattered In parties of two
and three to spend the morning sight
seeing, returning at noon to make the ac
cualntance of tbe delegations from Min
nesota, Iowa and South Dakota, which
united there to make up tbe train. Tbe
entire party numbered 124, almost all of
which were club women, the few men being
club husbands or sons, and before evening
the train had been thoroughly canvassed
old acquaintances renewed, new ones
made, and all on board unite as a great
House-party, delegation names neing
dropped entirely, only as used to designate
the various care.
The announcement on Friday afternoon
that the side trip to tbe old town of Santa
Fa had been cut out occasioned genuine
disappointment to all and not a little In
dignation among many who had been in
fluenced to take the Santa Fa route for
the benefit of the aide tripe that the
through rate Included. The elimination
was explained by an official as necessary
owing to the many sections In which tbe
train were being run, but upon protest
of the party which had bought tickets with
the understanding that tbe Santa Fe trip
was Included tbe company offered to take
them there If they would bear tbe ex
pense of the Pullman cars. The women
felt unable to meet this, however, and
were obliged to forget their disappoint
tnent In the pleasure of their own company.
This they readily did and being a re
scourceful lot sufficient entertainment was
provided to make up for the lack of in
teresting sight enroute, upon which tbe
ordinary traveler Is dependent.
The wedding anniversary of one of the
women furnished occasion for a celebration
that displayed vaudeville talent wholly un
suspected In the ordinarly dignified club
women, the program concluding with a
speech by Mr. Nathan Wilson of Strombn
burg, Neb.,, who spoke In behalf of the
"Auxiliary" In which the men on the train
bad organised themselves.
Reaching Las Vegas, N. M., at 8 p. m.
Saturday, the entire party visited the Hot
Springs and baths, devoting an hour to
eight-seeing by electric light, which, If not
as profitable as a daylight visit, was almost
a enjoyable and resulted In but one mem
ber of the party being left behind.
Sunday was a quiet day, song or gospel
. service being conducted In each car, and
as the evening was spent at Williams,
Arlr.. the majority of the delegation at
tended church.
Monday was the red letter day of tbe
entire trip and compensated for all other
disappointment. Reaching the Grand
Canyon early In tbe morning, the day was
devoted to visiting the many points of in
terest. Borne joined the pony train at 9
a. n, going down the river seven miles
below, and returning at sundown, while
other made the various drives or ventured
down the trail on foot. Here were met
the Colorado and Pennsylvania delegations
and many of the most prominent member
of the General Federation of Woman's
Clubs, the day affording opportunity for a
general exchange of general federation
gossip.
The hospitality of the California women
became manifest aoon after the party en.
tered the state, and at every station the
train was met by women with basket and
bunches of flower. At San Bernardino
the party waa met by member of the
Hostess club, one of which was Mrs.
George W. Purcell, also of the Omaha
Woman's club, who extended the club wel
come and gave Instruction.
Reaching Los 'Angeles late In tbe even
ing, tbe delegation was met by a local
committee, who escorted them to Nebraska
headquarters at Abbotaford Inn, located
half a block from the convention audi
torium. The Journey was especially free from cau
cusing, but the arrival of the delegation
waa welcomed by representative from the
middle west, who value their judgment

GAME WARDENS' BUSY WEEK
Leave Omaha Aries' Having- 8aeceas
felly rroaeeated Several
Poaoners.
The game warden, George Slmpklns of
Lincoln, and his deputy, George Carter of
North Platte, closed a successful engage
ment in Omaha Saturday and left behind
them a number of people who will have a
little more respect for tbe laws of the state
made for the protection of fish and game.
The wardens came to the city on sure
Information. They arrived Wednesday
evening and that night on Cut-Off lake
made the most Important arrest of tbe
year, when they captured "Sleepy" Hewett
snd Frank Burwell In tbe act of seining
Tom Jones was the third man In the party
but he jumped into a skiff and made good
his escape at that time. The next morn
Ing at 11 o'clock Jone was under arrest.
having been captured at the lake.
On the visit to the lake for Jone the
officers made tbe first arrest of the year
for Illegal ahootlng. Tbe parties taken
In charge on this occasion were Joseph
Snyder snd T. C. Coots. Tbey had been
shooting yellow' legged snipe end when ar
rested bad four birds with them. Before
Justice Foster they pleaded guilty and
received a fine of 120 and costs, which they
paid.
"Sleepy" Hewett worked his rabbit foot
on the Iowa officers, as he was taken to
Council Bluffs for trial. When arraigned
he offered to plead guilty If assured that
he would be given a comparatively light
fine. It was arranged that he would be
fined $10 and costs In consideration of the
fact that he would pay. After the fine was
fixed he concluded to stay in jail sufficient
time to square accounts with the state, so
hi term of service ended last night. A
constable from Omaha was on hand to
pick him up when he was released by the
Iowa authorities.
Burwell was tried before Justice Foster
yesterday afternoon. He received a sen
tence of thirty days In Jail. On the stand
be said that the last work he had done
was painting buildings at the exposition
grounds and that he had made his living
for the last six months catching frogs.
The trial of Jones will take place next
week.
The fish car, which left 5,000,000 fish at
Cut-Off lake last week, will start out In
the state Monday. It will go from Lin
coln to Columbus, stopping Tuesday at
Seward, where a number of tbe fry of the
wall-eyed pike will be placed In tbe Blue
river. At Columbus the same variety of
fish will be planted In the Loup.
Saturday a start will be made from
Omaba over the Union Pacific to Sidney
and fish will be distributed to parties who
have made application for them to stock
private lake and ponds. Since the new
law went Into effect the fish commission
has received about $500 from the sale of
young fish and fry.
It 1 estimated by the commissioner that
from 60 to 65 per cent of the fry planted
In the lake will live, the death being
due to change In the water and the depre
dations of larger fish.
NEBRASKA ANDJM0UNT VERNON
Report at Mrs. Maaderson to the Re-
Beats of the Association,
Sooa to Meet.
On Thursday the Board of Regent of the
Mount Vernon Association of the Union
will meet at Mount Vernon In annual ses
sion and will spend about ten days In
transacting It buslnee. This 1 an as
sociation of women which bas taken charge
of the house and tomb of George Wash
ington, after having acquired title to It
some years ago by paying $200,000 for tbe
ground and buildings. The object of the
association is to maintain and preserve
the historic spot. Mrs. Charles F. Man
derson is vice regent for Nebraska, and
will make the following report:
OMAHA. Mav 1. 1901. To Mrs.. Justine V.
R. Townsend. Regent of the Mount Vernon
Association of the Union: Madam As vice
regent for trie state oi meDrasaa i mane
rfie following report:
I ramlvMl and distributed the annual re
port of the association for the year 19ul
and corresponded with a few of my ac
quaintances In regard to the objects of the
association. The following contributions
were made and I asu tnat tne secretary
make suitable acknowledgment: Mrs.
George A. Joselyn. $26; Mrs. Charles N.
Diets, $10; Mrs. Herman Kountze, $5; Mrs.
O. W. Wattles, li; personal, 11. S. M., $5;

check on the Omaha National bank, pay

The interest of our young state in the ob
jects of the association will undoubtedly
increase and I hope the societies composed
of the descendants of those who served in
the colonial wars and the American revolu
tion will malie proper recognition of the
Importance of the preservation and care of
tne nome ana tomo oi wanningion.
T ask the acceptance or a email plate
that came to me from an ancestor on the
paternal side. Experts believe that It is
unique and that all others like It were de
stroyed. It is of common blue ware known
at the tlms of Its manufacture as semi
rhlna. The face of the plate has a repre
sentation of a capitol building, very similar
to the first capitol erected at wasmngton,
which was destroyed by the British during
the war of 1811. On the back of the plate
la the inscription, "Mount Vernon, the seat
of Government of the United States."
Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, deceased,
whose knowledge of historical matters was
Frofound, told me several years ago, when
showed him the plate, that he did not be
lieve there waa another like It in the world
and that It bore out the truth of the state
ment sometimes made that .the estates of
George Washington at Mount Vernon were
first desired for the location of the federal
capitol, and it was while that was contem
plated inn meae piaiva were maae.
It certainly would havs been most fitting
that this beautiful place should have been
selected, not only because of its con
venience and suitable surroundings, but in
recognition of the great service of the
father ot nia country, it is not unlikely
that Washington himself prevented such
location because of hla desire to maintain
his home and perhape the dread that he
mlrVit be charred with self-lntereat. Re.

Boiler Explosion Hasteni Work on 8wilYi
New Hog Home.
CORONER'S VERDICT IN THE HAAS CASE
Ancient Order of tnlted Workmen Ac
cept Plans for Neve Balldlna; on
Twenty-Fifth street
Maarle City Gossip.
Investigation at the Swift plant show
that the boiler explosion of last Wednes
day did more damage than was at first sup
posed. The walls of the boiler bouse.
which Is an old building, are considerably
damaged. This fact has been developed
by the cleaning away of the debris. Three
of the battery of four boiler are wreck
and will have to be substituted with new
one.
Oa sccount of this sccldent It I under
stood that the work ot rebuilding tbe en
tire hog house will be commenced before
very long. Some five or six months ago
engineers from Chicago spent several day
In South Omaha staking out the ground
and making sketches ot plan for a new
hog and fertiliser house. These plans It
Is stated, were approved by the directors
of the Swift company some time ago and
omethtng like $250,000 appropriated for tbe
rebuilding ot thia old portion of the plant.
Mention waa made In The Bee of the plana
of the company at the time the engineers
were here. It was stated then that re
building waa to commence about June 1.
Now that a portion of the plant bas been
wrecked It Is thought that tbe rebuilding
ot the entire old portion of the western
section will, commence as soon as material
can be arranged for. On account of th
new boilers just placed In service on the
east side the bog house will not be ham
pered to any extent. The construction at
this time of so large a building would fur
nish employment to a great many men. It
was reported yesterday that contracts for
brick had already been made, or were being
made at this time.
Jury Returns Verdlet.
Coroner Brailey held an Inquest at Brew
er' undertaking rooms, Twenty-fifth and
N streets, yesterday, over the remain of
Andrew Haas. Quite a number ot wit
nesses were examined, among them being
the train crew of the Rock Island and
Northwestern roads. The testimony went
to show that the Rock Island freight No.
90 was cutting out a car of stock and had
split the train. Haas, It appears, tried to
pass between the car when tbe two sec
tion were being brought) together and
was caught. The verdict waa In accord
ance with the facts, merely that Haas
met his death by being run over by Rock
Island freight train No. 90. No comment
or recommendations were made by the
jury.
Workmen Accept riana.
The building committee of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen lodges met Friday
night and looked over plans for the proposed
temple. Five architect submitted plans.
Those presented by J. Klewlt, jr., were
accepted by the committee. Theas plans
call for a structure 60x80 feet, ' built of
brick and two stories In height. On the
ground floor there will be an auditorium,
with a gallery on the Twenty-fifth street
side. The seating capacity will be about
600. On the second floor there will be one
large lodge room and a number of com
mittee rooms. Architect Kiewit estimates
the cost ot the building at $15,000.
Want District Enlarged.
Some time ago a movement was set on
foot to grade Twenty-Seventh street from
B to F streets. At that time it was un
derstood that the property owner on
Twenty-seventh street south of F street did
not care to sign and so a small grading
district was provided for. Since the orig
inal petition has been signed It appears
that there Is a desire to enlarge the dis
trict and take In Twenty-seventh street
from A to J streets. A new petition Is
to be circulated and It Is expected that
arrangements for the work can be made
by tbe council without any unnecessary
delay.
Ban Still Mlaalnn-.
Jesee Barr, who is badly wanted by some
of the members ot the Taxpayers' league
for moving mortgaged property out of the
state, Is still keeping under cover. He
shipped hi good to St. Louis, Mo., but
so far the police there have been unable
to locate him. Chief Brlggs Is of tbe
opinion that Barr Is keeping under cover
at tbe home of a relative not tar from
St, Louis and another message waa sent
the chief of detective yesterday. The
car containing ths mortgaged property has
not yet arrived at St. Lout, but It will
be attached as soon as It reaches the rail
road yards.

JACKS0NIAN CLUB MEETING
Prospect of Happier Times for Local
Democracy Appear la
Slarns.
'Resolved, That a committee of three be
appointed to Investigate tbe sets of demo
cratic county commissioners in appointing
republicans to office."
This little bombshell, launched In the
midst ot seventy-firs members of the Jack
sonlan club at Its regular session last night.
failed to explodci-though It was propelled
with all good Intention by W. S. Shoe
maker, and by G. F. Bergner, who seconded
the motion to adopt the. resolution.
A sphinx-like silence on the part of the
balance of the assembly, however, met the
proposition. There was no discussion and
the matter was quickly tabled by an over
whelming vote, the sentiment being that It
was the province of the county central
committee to conduct such probing.
Upon tbe unanimous passing of a resolu
tion to that effect, W. H. Herdman, I. J.
Dunn and E. P. Berryman were appointed
as a committee to draw up resolutions aneni
tbe death of J. Sterling Morton, to be pre
sented at the next meeting. No comment
nor opposition was aroused, despite that
fact that in 1896 Mr. Morton, together wltb
the other Cleveland democrats, was stricken
from the membership Hat ot the club as
disloyal to the principles of Jackson, Its In
spiration. Mr. Morton's portrait was also
at that time taken from the walla of ths
eiubrooms. Tbe action of tbe club last
night Is regarded as significant of the ac
tual existence of a strong sentiment looking
toward the ultimate reweldlng of thes
two party elements, which separated over
the free silver question. This tendency ha
already been Indicated by the reception re
cently Into the fold of a few of those so
summarily ejected six years ago.
Last night's discussion was on "Current
Events." and J. A. Ryan waa leader. The
beef trust came In for' an unusual amount
ot attention, and most of those present
joined In the chorus on this topic. The
Philippine question was also touched upon.
In the absence of President Cosgrove, W. H.
Kelllger of Auburn, Neb., presided. At tbe
next meeting Dr. Hippie will lead an argu
ment on "Is Free Coinage of Silver Desir
able Under Present Conditions?"
Per a Weak Back.
The muscles of the back may be very
much strengthened and all pain and sore
ness removed by applying Chamberlain'
Palm Balm, and having the parts rubbed
vigorously for five minutes at each applica
tion. Twenty-five and fifty-cent bottles of

rificed to Jack Cudahy tbe Harry Cartan
cup for handicap score, Cudahy finishing In
82. Th playing waa against a stiff wind,
which swept the link from south to north
snd buffeted ball In mld-alr just In time
to drop them Into yawning hazard or
whisk them from their course. It was a
day to test In every player both bis skill
and early piety.
Those who visited th bouse and broad
acres for the first time sine tbe closing
last fall found pleasing alteration In both.
Th building's interior ha been redec
orated In tbe same color scheme as last
year', and for the 150 diner laat night
snd the dancers later there was a profu
sion ot flower and palm, the latter to
screen the 'musician who bad been en
gaged for both the dinner and ball.
Chances In Landscapes.
But It waa In the landscaping that change
was most noticeable. Ths drives are all
concreted now, but every other Inch of
ground I being made a Kentucky green
with grass that cannot suffer ot thirst sines
tbe Installation ot a water supply. It has
cost the club $5,000 to coax a main from
tbe city water works and distribute tbe
supply through tbe grounds in a network of
lateral vein burled eighteen inches under
the surface, but the result recompenses,
for now the whole grounds can be kept In
that condition dear to the golfer' heart,
with putting squares as verdant as a lawn
for all their constant cropping. The fifteen
old bunkers have all been thrown up to
still more appalling heights and five new
bunkers added, with other hazards, not,
however, Including the one of water. Tbe
holes have been lengthened, but Chairman
Harry Lawrle of the greens committee
states that the bogey Is reduced from 78 to
75 and that he expecta so soon as the
soaking besrtns to have effect that the club
will be proud In the possession of abso
lutely perfect links. Yesterday's Initial
trial of the remodeled course suggested
only on change and that was the moving
up ten yards of the second tee, now too
dangerous to play over a neighboring
bunker.
Dlicoaraglng Day to Play.
Nearly all the players of last year blos
somed again for this Initial day of tbe
new season, and tingled with pleasure as
they felt each stroke bringing them back
nearer to old form. The relentless wind
and occasional momentary dashes of rain
mads driving crucial, lofting aggravating
and putting precarious, but they weathered
It like seamen with no especially unkind
remarks except when Foye's ball was blown
so far Into a patch of shrubbery that It
cost blm three strokes; when Dick Kimball
stalled on the eighteenth hole and lost the
grip that he had secured on the Bldwell
trophy, or when some similar catastrophe
blasted a particularly promising future.
With many It was pre-eminently a day
for relaxation and they relaxed. J. H.
Mcintosh forgot, for the hour, that there
Is or ever was any such thing as a tax
case, a supreme court, a mandamus or even
a city councilman, and strode from bole to
hole In a jaunty cap and trousers that
came no lower than the ones he wore at
the age of 10. A. L. Reed examined real
estate tor once In his life without attempt
ing to estimate Its value. Luther Drake
honored but one draft (the strong ons from
the south) and would sign no papers but
his opponent's scoring card. Dick Stewart
frolicked about with none of that dignity
presumed to mark the benedict, and Ed
Peck took on a priming coat of tan without
watching market quotations on the same.
Men of large affairs and large frame ap
peared in amall shirt and small trousers,
and from 2:30 to 6:30 every aoul waa a
stranger to bis business self. Habitues ot
the old St. Andrew's course could have
played the gams with no better ambition
than these.
Hesalt of the Matchea.
The result of the two matches, however,
was something of an upset, as it had been
anticipated by many that Dick Kimball
would make his third and final winning for
ths Bldwell trophy for best score, which
Foye annexed, and that Foye would ac
quire a lien on the Cartan cup for handi
cap, but of this be wa robbed by Jack
Cudahy' aggressive tactics that defied, the
wind gods and beat them at their own
game. As promiscuously entered In the
club's record the players made the follow
ing showing, the three figures after each
name representing the gross, the handicap
and the net:
