4 THE OMAHA DAILY ItEE: SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1902. v BIG NIGHT AT ROYAL DEN Ak-Sar-Ben Esceives Nebraska Undertaker with Bpccial Osremonies. SEVERAL BRIEF AND HAPPY SPEECHES ; "Serial of the Hatrhet" Sceaa from Initiator? Services of Two Years Asa Revived Especially for the Occasion. One hundred and sixty-four brave and worthy esquires from Nebraska and a few from torn other states were enrolled upon the parchments of the kingdom of Qulvera Thursday at a special communication of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben VII. In honor of the guests, most of whom were members of the Nebraska Undertakers' association, In whose honor the special meeting was held, there was a variation In the usual program and the knights hearkened back two years to the Initiatory service of 1900, giving the scene of the "burial of the hatchet," one of the strongest scenes In the Initiatory service of that year and on which on account of lis suggest I veness was considered particularly appropriate for the occasion. The work was done principally by those members who had taken the parts two years previously. With this exception the ceremony of en rollment of the present year was followed. It was undertakers' night and the games and amusements were turned over to the visitors. The highest scores In single games were made by S. H. Reppert of Pierce, Neb., and Albert Minds, a rank outsider, who works In the postofTlce at Detroit, Mich. In the games where they scored blgh the work was remarkably bril liant and elicited much applause from the newly made knights and others who sus pended operations to watch the plays. Winners la the Finals. In the finals, where strong playing and nerve tell against the greatest brilliancy, the star players, those who carried the circulating medium away, were Peter Mer ton of Blue II1U, whose great nerve was shown by the haxards he took at critical moments; J. O. Walroth of Edgar, whose luck was phenomenal;' P. C. Heafey. who faced the .tables and the odds with an abandon which excited comment; E. Mead of Chadron, whose play was considered the most scientific, and Vat Becker, who lives In Council Bluffs, which, may account for the way In which he played. At the conclusion of the games there were speeches. The hit of the evening was made by Oeorge H. Brown of Superior, secretary of the Undertakers' association, who spoke feelingly upon the relations of Omaha to the state and the good fellow ship shown in the entertainment of the visiting delegates, not only at the den, but In all other places about the city. He closed by proposing three cheers from the visitors for the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben and the city of Omaha. These were given with a tiger and were responded to by cheers for the guests by the knights la attendance. W. P. Hohenschuh followed Mr. Brown, speaking on the benefits to be derived from a mixture of business and pleasure. The last speaker was Val Becker, whose stories convulsed the 'audience. The usual refreshments closed the evening's program. List OX the Visitors. The following out-of-town visitors were present at the meeting: J. C. McElhlnney. Lyons; W. 8. Jones, Tecumseh; C. W.

It Is bard to make people understand that' coffee really will do business tor them If they stick to it long enough. It Is al most a certainty that some little symptom of disease, stomach trouble, or kidney or heart trouble, caused by coffee drinking .will ultimately develop into some fixed organic disease unless the cause of the disturbance Is removed. An illustration may not be amiss. A lsdy in Kearney, Neb., says': "I used coffee a great many years. Gradually my health, broke down. I had dyspepsia and was extremely nervous. 1 passed many leepless nights, but, like many others, did not know what was the cause of my Invalid torn. "Finally the trouble centered into a fatty tumor Just over the stomach and in the region of the heart, causing acute pain In the stomach and a spasmodic action of tha heart. A surgical operation waa deemed accessary, but after all the preparations were made a good, old, honest doctor sug gested that I take treatment a little longer and leave off coffee and take Poetura and aome Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food. "I began oa Postum and had it made properly by long boiltng and found it de Ucloua and drank two cupa the first morn ing. After two weeks I discovered a marked change for tbe better. In five months my supposed tumor had disappeared, my head aches were gone and digestion wholly re stored. My heart only gave me trouble a tew times. That was five years ago. havo beea a ateady user of Postum ever since and am a new creature today. Am In strong sad vigorous health and know exactly how to account tor it. "The Ignorance of people on the subject ot coffee ia a eonstaat wonder to me, al though, at ese time, of course. I was Just as much la tbe dark as aay one could be. going aleag year after year putting Into my body the polio, that waa killing me and sever knowing It.

Amusements. At the Boyd. Another overflow audience was at the Boyd last night, when the curtain rose on the first act of "The Three Musketeers," presented by the Ferris Stock company. Mr. Ferris has modified the piece rfc some respects, notably the omission of the pro logue, adding thereby to the movement of the play and eliminating some of Its grew- some features. As D'Artagnan Mr. Ferris wears the costume and arms of tho Mos- quetalre with much the same grace as marked him when accoutred with some brero, top-boots and six-shooter as the Missouri sheriff. He enters boldly Into the plrlt of the piece and makes the swash buckling hero the genuine article. Miss Hayward has a sympathetic role as Louise and brings to the part much natural sweet ness and artless grace. The supporting cast is good and the ataglng is excellent. The piece will run the rest of the week. Gentry Bros. Ihow, Gentry Bros, have a penchant tor com ing to Omaha and saying, "Oh, no, there nothing new about our exhibition. It la Just as good as it was Isst year, no better and no worse." But when you find your way Into a tent and see 406 animals there on parade array and have it demonstrated beyond a doubt that all but four of them are skilled actors this statement ia diffi cult to believe. In fact, the trained animal exhibition now being given by Gentry Bros, at Eighteenth and Douglas streets is by far the best thing ot the kind that has ever visited Omaha. It is not only that there are so many trained animals gathered together; tt is not only that the divers acta of a kind that are duplicated nowhere with the same de gree of precision and proficiency, but what makes the Gentry exhibition most wonder ful Is the absolute absence ot all human Interference, collusion or connection ot any aort. From first to last these little and big animals come In front of tbe scenes and do thetr little stunts seemingly with all the willpower and Initiative of man. In these days when both suggestion and actuality in publlo performances border ao often on tbe questionable It is an absolute pleasure to see an exhibition that is totally devoid of any symptom ot coarseness. That's tha Gentry show through and through clean, spotless. It is almost as pleasing, too, to see a performance that is Just what It purports to be, one with real consistency as a Justifiable recommenda tion. Add to this a uniformity In both con duct and demeanor that cannot be excelled by the strictest disciplined human army of the world and then adduce the final fact that not one act drags, that all parts of the show are good from the start, and you bave the Gentry affair sized up correctly. When forty ponies come out for the open ing act and go through marvelous military maneuvers without an error the spectator Is seized with tbe idea that this la cer tainly the best act of the bill. All the marching movements known these ponies do and one half expecta tbem to take up the setting up exercises and battle forma tions next. But this la not the best. All the way along the same high standard is main tained. There are three elephants that are simply great, among them the only one in the world that really atands on Us head tbe Baby Pinto, 28 years ot age. Equally aa good are the little Mexican rough riders in their fantastic attire, and the eight ponies who alone in tbe world do the May pole dance. Then, of course, tbe 207 dogs with the organization are smooth as satin. and the little bunch ot monkeys who do tha conflagration act are the best In the busi ness. They set their own fire, bring their own apparatus and put it out all alone. The exhibition continues with two perform ances today and two Saturday. NOT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE German Vessels Go to Venesnela Merely to Safeguard Kaiser's Interests. BERLIN, June 13. The Foreign office I here is without details of the reported bom bardment ot the seaport ot Lagulra. Vene zuela, by tha forts and tbe Venezuelan war ship in cousaquence ot a revolutionary movement in the suburbs. The Foreign of fice, however, takee the occasion of this Inquiry to say that tbe cruisers Oazells and Falk were ordered to Lagulra simply to safeguard German Interests and that their presence In Venezuelan waters Is In no way connected with Germany's long pending claims against Venezuela. As soon aa order ia restored the cruisers In ques tion will leave Venezuela. Tbe directors of the great Venezuelan railway from Caracaa to Valencia held a n.cctlug at Hamburg today and declared a dividend ot one-balf of 1 per cent. The great Venezuelan railroad Is a German concern. The chairman of tbe company affirmed at today'a meeting that the rail road had not been aold to an American company. NO BLAME ON GENERAL WOOD Fraacla B. Tharber Bays Money Waa Caha's and Was Spent Legitimately. NEW YORK. June 13. The Herald to morrow will quote Francis B. Tburber as saying in reply to criticisms brought out by his testimony before the senate commit tee In regard to tbe funds used by ths military government of Cuba in aid of reel procity: It waa Cuban money and not that ot tbe United Slates. Tbe beet sugar people are attempting to make political capital out ot what was. In my opinion, a legitimate and proper use of Cuban money. Everything waa dons openly and no faet waa hlddeu. When called to Washington to testify be fore the committee I told them the plain truth. The committee ot Cuban business msn recommended tbe expenditure out of money paid by Cubans In Import taxsa.

FOUNDRY PROPOSITION FAILS Holders' Union Eefusss Offer Mads by Featherstone Company. ALL NEGOTIATIONS OFF FOR PRESENT Representative of Chicago Concern Kot Able to Make Satisfactory Terms for Establishment of Foundry Here. II. H. Wright, general manager of the Featherstone Foundry and Machine com pany of Chicago, who has been in the city since Tuesday investigating labor condi tions, with a view to establishing an Iron foundry at this place, left last night for Chicago. He did not come to an under standing with tbe members of the Iron Moulders' union and all negotiations be tween the company and the union are at an end, at least for the present. This foundry, should it be built, would take the place of the foundry now being torn down by the Union Pacific. It would have a capacity of thirty to forty tons per day and would furnish employment to the moulders formerly employed by the Union Pacific and now on lock-out because ot the action of the railroad company In shutting down Its foundry and sending its work to the Featheratones In Chicago. Mr. Wright and the executive committeo of the locked-out moulders held several conferences during bis stay In the city, and of three written propositions he made to the moulders all. were rejected. One, however, was accepted by the committee, but later voted down by the union. "I made the committee a proposition," said Mr. Wright, "which provided that a bonua of $1,600 be forfeited, subject to the order ot the union. In the event of the fail ure on the part of the Featberstone people to have the foundry erected within ninety days. It also provided that transportation be furnished to members who desired to work during these ninty days In Chicago. When the foundry was completed here the men would be returned at our expense. The proposition provided, further, that the men be paid minimum wages. The moulders to raise the strike on the Union Pacific work. "This proposition was modified to suit the members of the union and waa finally agreed upon by the committee. The com mittee then reported to tbe union and this afternoon they reported to me that the union voted not to accept it. "The matter of establishing such a plant here has been under consideration since last fall. President Burt of the Union Pa cific has been Instrumental in Interesting the Featherstone people in coming here. It was our intention, should we have been able to work Harmoniously with the union, to en deavor to get the work of other railroads and bring It to Omaha, which would be something for the town and would furnish employment to a large number ot men." I'nlon's View of Situation. The members of the executive committee of the Iron Moulders' union were seen after tbe meeting yesterday afternoon. The chair man stated that the $1,500 proposition of fered by the Featherstone people was a bid to get them to go to Chicago and there do acab work for the Union Pacific. "That Is all It amounts to," said the chairman, "and tbe union voted it down because we do not Intend to be bought. They wanted us to raise the strike on the Union Pacific. The foundry proposition Is only Imaginary and we do not believe the' Featheratones are acting in good faith." The members) of tbe moulders' union are divided as to Jhe proposition of Mr. Wright and considerable feeling has Been engen dered.' One Ttneraber said he expressed the sentiment -6f several when he gave out the following interview: "The proposition of the Featherstone company as offered by Mr. Wright was a good one and perfectly fair. It was rejected only on a technicality and there was no real difference In what they ottered and what we asked. The trouble Is there are several members of the union who have lived here a number of years and they do not want to go to Chicago or any. where elae to work. They voted against tbe proposition because It eant that the strike would be declared off. Several members withdrew from the committee because they became disgusted with the action of the union." South Omaha News, A number of taxpayers and others Inter ested In tbe public schools have called a meeting for tonight at the High achool tor the purpose of discussing the proposition ot constructing at least a portion of tbe pro posed High school building this summer. The plans for this building were drawn aome time ago and, according to the etate ment of the architect, the front or either ot the wings may be constructed separately without marring the symmetry ot tbe struc ture when completed. As there is need of more school room In the district north ot N street some steps may be taken at the meeting tohlght to Induce the board to de fer action on the proposed building in tbe Second ward. It Is asserted by those interested that the erection of one of the wings of the pro posed High school building will obviate the necessity for the building of an addition to the Hawthorne achool and that there will then be no need of a building ao near the Jungmann school at the present time. Mem bers of the Taxpayers' league and the East Side Improvement rlub are interested In the meeting to be held tonight and It Is expected that there will be a large at tendance People Want Xanies. There has been do much talk lately about the Taxpayers' league and the Influence that it bears on the administration of pub lic affairs that the people are beginning to want to know who the members are. Then, again, comes the Anti-Saloon league, with Its agitators and a list of names at the head of the editorial page. This paper has been criticized many times tor Its action In using names of persons aa officers and promoters of the league who never be longed or even thought of belonging. There is going to be a request made to bave the Taxpayers' league and the Anti-Saloon league show their hands to the extent that they make publlo their lists of members. Club stars In Present Quarters. For seme time past members of tha South Omaha club bave been figuring on moving into more commodious quarters, but It ap pears that a suitable lease can not be ar ranged at this time. It has been decided, therefore, to remain In the present location for the summer. While tbe quarters now occupied are considered ample by soms of the members, others desire to expand, and as there Is no lack of funds a move may be made In the fall, when a lease on the prop erty in view may possibly be secured. Easjlea Meet Toalajbt. Tonight at tbe troop armory there will be an Important meeting of the local lodge of Eagles. All members of the local aerte are urged to attend.
