A: Taylor farm, but Is now known as Boyd's addition. Uncle John .era that he aerured title from Taylor, but former Governor Boyd made the same claim and deeded much of It to parttea who kave since erected fine residence there and made an aristocratic residence district of It. Should the plaintiff aucceed there may he a general upheaval In the addi tion. Thursday morning's proceedings In court we're given an unusual In terest by ' the fact that Uncle John, who Is a colored man, "bowed with the weight of centuries," and with bushy gray hair quite picturesque, believes himself 109 years old, but has no knowl : edge of chronology and w as obliged. In ; giving testimony, to recount the epochs of j bis life as dating from the time of some 'well known public events. For instance, , he remembers that his mother toldhlm he vii forty yea ra old the day of the great bower of meteors, which was In 1833, and that he came to Nebraska immediately ! after the battle of Fort Donelson, early in ' the war. Refers to gome President. 1 In the cross-examination the attorney '.for John Mathlson, first of several defend nta In the present suit, sought to test tJncle John and the proceeding waa In sub stance as follows: "Where were you living when Lincoln Waa president?" "Right out on dat same Taylor farm, ah." "Where were you when Grant was presi dent?" "Same place, rah." "Where were you when Andrew Johnson waa president?" "Oh, I waa es a young alave when . An'rew Jsckson served." "Not Andrew Jackson; Andrew Johnson." "Oh, I mlstooken what you said. I I don't seem to somehow recollick't dls Johnson you menshlon, less he was de man wlf Lincoln." "Well, now, TJncle John, do you remember when Jamea O. Blaine waa president?" "Oh, yes, veah well, sab, on'y it kind 'o seems like dah waa some hitch about his glttln' into de White House." "And do yoj remember when Roecoe Conkllng waa president?" "Who you say?" "Roacoe Conkllng." "No, Bah, I don't know nuffln' 'bout de gen'leman." "Remember Cleveland?" "Yes, sah. He was kind o' split up and coma back once aftah we turned him down." "Well, do you remember when Bryan waa president?" "I specs," said Uncle Bill, with a chuckle, "dat I comes as near rememberln' it aa Mlstah Bryan does. Mlstah Bryan'a veah nice man, sah, but he wahn't nevah presi dent. He calnt be. The Lawd Intended Mlstah Bryan to be a auctioneer, and he Jos frttterln' his time away tryln' to do these othah tiluga." OMAHA'S RESORTS OPEN. Coartland DeaeU and Le.ke Manawa Reopen for Summer Season. With fine weather the reopening of Court land Beach ou today promises to even outdo Its Initial opening on Memorial day In 1893, when, it will be remembered, the crowd was ao great that many were com pelled to walk home, aa the street car serv ice on the beach line waa packed to over flowing. However, no one need fear a repe tition of that feature of that most eventful occasion, aa now the Omaha Street Railway company has a double track direct to the beach snd Superintendent Tucker promises to handle Courtland Beach traffic even bet er than he did the Immense throngs at the Tranamlsslsslppl exposition, and no one dare hope Courtland Beach will get this year such crowds aa did the exposition no mat ter how attractive Manager Griffiths may succeed In making bla popular resort. With the many new attractive features, in addi tion to the magnificent picnic grounds, so finely ahaded, beautiful lawna, flower, foli age and rose beds, dressed In most attrac tive form and color, Courtland Beach fur nishes a rare and pleaaing view in itaelt well worth the 10 cents admission charged. The old favorite switchback contlnuea In Its ' old location ready for all lta frlenda. Few cltlea have a more beautiful watering resort than Is Lake Manawa, with Ha fine, sandy beach. Manhattan Beach, heretofore taxed to lta utmost capacity because o' its limited bath bouse accommodatlona, will this season be fully capable of accommodat ing everybody who desires to bathe. An almost unlimited number of One bath rooms entirely does away with a possible recur rence of this disagreeable feature. Manawa park offers unusual attractions for lta formal opening today. Covalt's Manawa band of selected musicians and so loists from all parta of the country and some members Just arrived from abroad, will give afternoon and evening concerta during the aeason. The twenty colored troubadours have arrived and will assist In entertaining patrona. Numerous other at tractions will be found that cannot but please one and all who attend the opening.

Sherman avenue cars began running to the beach yesterday af:ernonn and ther waa a large number of alghtscers anxious to see how Omaha's fnvorlt" popular resort looked. Last even ing quite a number of people visited the beach and found everything in readiness for the grand opening today. The street cars wilt run today every minute or half-mlnute, as the occasion demands, and Superintendent Tucker says no one need feel that the serv ice will be Inadequate, aa he will personally see that enough cara are on hand to carry all with comfort. Of course there are a few finishing touches that will have to be added today, but generally speaking everything Is ready. Many special attractions await beach pa trons and a merry and pleasant time will doubtless be enjoyed by all who attend. Afternoon and evening concerta by Nordln'a fine orchestra, balloon ascensions, the four Langford'a In their most amazingly won derful aerial performancea and the old time favorite switchback railway are among the attractions. MOORES KNOWN IN EUROPE Mythical Matrimonial Rnreai Attracts Attention Where Omaha Is I'nknown. Mayor Moores' mythical matrimonial bureau is constantly developing new phases and Is evoking correspondence, to much of which attaches more than passing Inter est. A woman living in Birmingham, England, addresses her envelope aa fol lows: "To Hla Worship, the Mayor of Omaha, U. S. A." She goes on to say that she la married to a jeweler who beats her and, as she Intends to leave him soon, would like to know the name of aome mar riageable Nebraska young man. From Ireland cornea a letter addressed: "To the Lord Mayor, City of Omaha, pro bono publico." A Toledo, O., woman ad dresses the envelope thus: "Moores' Mat rimonial Bureau, Omaha, Neb." A letter of genuine Interest comes from Mary Munchhoff, the Omaha vocalist, who la making a tour of the world. She writes from Berlin under date of May 2 to say that the German papers are making great "todo" over Nebraska's "interna tional marriage scheme," and adds: I am being besieged with letters and vis Its from matrons with marriageable daugh ters, who wish to possess one of your matrimonial books. I dare say you hava never heard of me, and wonder at the liberty I take In writing you. I beg to refer you to your good friend, the Hon. Count J. A. Crelghton. He will tell you that I am a singer and that I have sung In a great many European cities and al ways as being from Omaha. The word "Omaha" appears on all my programs. The latter fact haa been the cause of my having to talk a lot (and that tires a singer's vocal chords more than singing would) In order to explain where Omaha la situated and that the Inhabitants are cultured, refined, progressive and, above all, civilized. But what will one not do for the glory of Omaha! In all my travels I've only met one post office official and two or three other per sons who had ever heard of Omaha. It Is moat provoking! Even those who had feasted on Smith Omaha corned beef didn't know. You may think as I do that Europe is In sRd need of schools where geography Is better tajght. I am glad, however, to state that the natives over here do take an interest In Omaha. I've seen fathera and mothers look It up on the map and re joice when they found Omaha printed Wat." too. In Cologne a gentleman told me he had looked up Omaha In Myers' Conversation Lexicon and found It. If you please! He went on to tell me that Omaha boasts of tho largest smelting works In the world, etc. I let him tell It all. Although It was no news to me It waa to those who stood listening. Miss Munchoff concludes by saying that she bopea to be In Omaha again before anow flies and that, meanwhile, If the mayor will send her a few copies of hla book on matrimony she will pledge herself to place them where they will do the moat good.

Mayor Moores yesterday Issued the fol lowing Memorial day proclamation: To the Citizens of Omaha: Tomorrow Is Memorial day, when every nerson will have an opportunity to show his loyalty and patriotism. This dsy ought to have a pe culiar significance to the American people, as It la the one day of the year when ull are called upon to show their respect to ine memory or tnose wno gave up ineir lives to preserve to us the liberties which we enjoy. There Is an unfortunate tendency In these Inter years to frrget the purpose for which Memorial day was established and to make It a mere holiday for recreation and ath letic sports. Let ua not forget that to morrow the nation mouma In love and gratitude over the graves of the bravest and best men who evsr died In the cause of liberty. In behalf of the Grand Army of the Re public I would request that all stores,, shops and places of business be closed for the day at noon, so that all msy have an opportunity to participate In the patriotic exercises which have been arranged. l would suggest, too, that every residence and place of business disnlav the fiaa at half-mast.

DEM STORY OF WATER CURE Sergeants of Twenty-Second Denounce Re port Published in Cincinnati. DECLARE IT A TISSUE OF FALSEHOOD They Say Their Company Killed Only One Native While Not In Bnttle and thnt Fatality Was Warranted. O. W. Barnes and Chris Barth. sergeanta of Company L, Twenty-aecond Infantry, stationed at Fort Crook, came to Omaha yesterday to refute a stigma placed on their regiment and company by Sergeant Alfred J. Hummel in an interview published In the Cincinnati Enquirer of May 11. In the Interview, which purports to have been given to the Enquirer correspondent at Kvansville, Ind., Hummel saya he has helped to administer the water cure to hun dreds of natives while serving as duty ser geant of Company L, Twenty-second regi ment, In the Philippines. He goes on to say: When we gave the water cure to the natives we usually had a doien or fifteen of them. We would tie their hands behind them, throw them upon their backs, tie handkerchiefs over their mouths and then pour water Into their lungs through the nose. When the lungs become Inflated some soldier jumps upon the breast with his feet. The legs and bodies of the victims swell all out of proportion and the eyes bulge. The second dose was generally fatal. When, after the first dose, the native would persist In refusing to give the sol diers tip; information WRnted he would be given a second dose. This killed him. While the cure" was belli?- administered It required three or four soldiers to hold the victim down. I know one man who was given the cure four times and It did not kill him, but this was an exception. I have myself helped to give the cure to as high as nine men in one day and In all have partici pated In about 200 such operations. Sergeant Barnes' Statement. ' In reference to the foregoing Sergeant Barnes said: "I am personally acquainted with Ser geant Hummel, who gave this Interview. He served with ua In Luzon during our three years' campaign there, from March, 1809, to March, 1902, and as to his inter view, I can say that It la a tissue of false hoods. There never waa a native killed by the administration of the water cure by a soldier or soldiers of Company L dur ing that campaign. And there never was but one native killed by the men of Com pany L outside of an actual engagement and the circumstances of that were fully warranted. It was while we were at Barrio, San Fernando, Luzon. The fellow waa charged with bololng Sergeant Ray of Company H, and, while in the presence of 200 natives and 150 United States soldiers, being interviewed by the interpreter, he tried to escape. He ran about 100 yarda and waa then shot by a soldier and killed. "As to the water cure, I can aay that I never saw It given. My only knowledge of It Is from hearing It described by others. If It waa practiced in the -regiment, which I doubt, It must have been without au thority, since the policy of all the officers was conciliatory and humane to the high est degree." C. F.
