TIIE OMAHA DAILY TIED: SUNDAY, MAY 31, 1003. MOIST DAY FOR MEMORIAL Open Air ExeroiMl Wsrs Abandoned m Aooouni of Weather. SERVICES ARE HELD IN KOUNTZE CHURCH Veteran Fir tb national Saint ul Doeerato Gravo of Dpod Heroe Dm pit Bala, ul Cola Brsea. At I yeatarday afternoon ther mem bled In Kounta Memorial church Ytran of th civil war, raterana of th later wart and member of the preoent military or ganisation In Omaha, The exercise which they listened to and participated In const!- tuted the only Memorial service, except the national salute fired at Forest Lawn oerae- tery, at 10 a, m., and th deoorating of the graves of the departed soldiers and sailors at an earlier hour. Booaua of the weather th parade and the rituallstio program at Hanacom park wer abandoned. It was th moat complete demoralisation of Decoration day plana that aver ha been experienced by th members of Grant, Crook and Custer posts. Grand Army of the Republic and of their relief corps, who had the program In chare. At noon th weather cleared some, but they could taka no hop from this because the ground had become already so saturated that It would Jeopardise th health of women and chil dren and th old soldiers, to have exercises In th open. 4 Aneembl Without Organisation. It Is hard for th men who marched through a hell of bullet and shells years ago to forego the pleasure of marching again now under th flag they preserved, and so a few of them went In squads to the church, and th fife and drum oorpe rolled out a dash of th old-time musio, but be yond this there was no parade and th attendanoa at th church bore practically no semblane of organisation. Such mem bers of the Thurston and Millard Rifles and Omaha Guards a attended went aa indi viduals. Had the weather been what everyone had hoped it would be, .this would hare been one of the most impressive and Imposing Memorial exercises in th history of Omaha, the veterans believe, aa three companies from Fort Crook would hav com and there would hav bean other unusual fea tures. The salute was fired at the specified time by Comrades Allison and Doherty, how aver, as that feature never Is neglected, no matter what the weather be, and the various committees commissioned to gar land the sleeping places of the heros were equally defiant of the elements, driving to the various cemeteries in carriages shortly after S o'clock and performing their solemn duty while the heavens wept The city's observance of the day was general to the extent of half-masting Its Hags, closing municipal, county and fed eral offices, the banks and soma business establishments. Practically all out-door events wer postponed or cancelled. SERVICES AT KOl'NTZH CHCRCH. Impressive Ceremonies in Honor of the Departed Heroes. Touching simplicity marked the memorial services for the soldier dead at Kountxe church yesterday afternoon. The chill, driving rain which had prevented the im posing procession and the open-air exer cises at Hanscom park failed to deter the veterans and their wives, with many from the present military organisations, from attending. The old guard was silent save when feel ings were deeply wrought upon by tender references to the flag. Then wer bursts of applause so hearty and so spontaneous that those of the younger generations who observed wondered if they really knew what devotion and patriotism mean. In the pews the whitened heads and blue coats' dignified the assembly, venerable symbols of faith and courage that perse vered. The dimmed eyes looked upon a tabla upon which rested a cross of immortelles, and a few vases and wreaths of flower. To the left snd th right of the pulpit rostrum and behind It was the flag, and at each side were the post Inslgntas, with gold letters on fields of blua. The arrange ments had been made with little artifice, but the very absence of elaboration helped to raise a choking emotion in the veterans as they sat with bowed heads and clasped hands and listened to the singing and the sp-en words. The familiar lines of the "Vacant Chair," as Intoned by a quartet of young men, caused a furtive tear here and there, and It seemed a very solemn period while Rev. D. K. Tlndall made prayer. The quartet sang the memorial hymn. Comrade R. M. Eton declaimed the immortal words by President Lincoln on th battlefield at Get tysburg, and his voice seemed a large sound in the pall of silence. In a voice that quavered suspiciously at times Comrade T. A. Crelgh, president ot the burial corps, read the names of the veterans who died since the preceding Memorial day. There wer twenty-one ot them enrolled upon the roster: George A. Custer Post No. 7 Comrade William Kawltser, private. Company A, Forty-first Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. U. 8.

COITTRT CIAB IS TUB WITHER, Wrcota Oelflsg noser f Omaha from th Field Clab. Yesterday th Country club wrested th golfing honors of Omaha away from th Field club by a final score of U up. Th promised exhibition of prowess of Nat Goodwin as a golf expert failed, as It was Impossible for him to compel because of th matinee for th afternoon. Th day was exceedingly disagreeable and the links were heavy and th grass long, so that the scores, all of the way through, seldom had an acquaintance with Colonel Bogey. With th exception of the drive, little of the play was Indicative of the playing qualities ot any of th par ticipant. Friday when Goodwin wa going over th coura ha conceived an adequate Idea of It fitness and told it in several facetious remark, which summed up the situation. due to th rain, quite adequately. After having made th course In 10, or there about, he first expressed a desire to burn hi club and than remonstrated with Gibson for trying to sow mora grass seed on th course, Th grass was quite long enough,- he thought, and ao It waa, th pl.iyer fcund out Many balls wero lost and altogether th meet wa anything but satisfactory, as th rain mad it diffi cult to mak any clean shots anywhere.

Thanksgiving-day weather on May 30 did not Inspire Joy In the breast of the amuse ment resort manager. What had promised to be auspicious openings for the three chief recreation spots of the city Manawa, Krug Park and Courtland Beach, each with a new card of attractions for the crowds seeking diversion, did not materialize. Everything had been promised for yester day afternoon, but the most sanguine of th manager pathetically admitted that the beat he could hope for wa a sprinkling of idle ones whose marrow Is Impervious to chill winds and who do not mind the cold wet. At all of the resorts the band concert and an nounced program were carried out, how ever, and none who braved th trip wa disappointed. Th tret car company' officer announced that they would keep on eye on the cloud and the other on the people and provide transportation service adequate to th demands. The out door sports and amusement, of necessity, had to be crossed out ' of the afternoon' schedules, but everything In order under roof waa put through aa promised in th press notice. RURAL CARRIERS ORGANIZE Form avn Association te Deal with Matter that Affect Their Calling. Th rural letter carrier of Douglas county hav organized an association, meet ing for that purpose at Benson yesterday. The organization was effected by the elec tion of the following officers: Frank H. Cunningham of South Omaha, president; John L. Yeager of Valley, vice president; Charles W. Child of Benson, secretary, and A. N. Totman of Benson, treasurer. A speolal meeting of the organization I called for June 20 at Benson. The purpose of the organization 1 that the rural letter carriers may get in closer touch with each other and with the general postofflce de partment for the better development of the rural letter carrier service. The question of better compensation will also be taken up, as the compensation now paid. $600 per an num, la not sufficient to maintain the car riers and from two to four horses that they must necessarily have to serve their routes with any degree of efficiency. The association will also take up the ques tion of good roads and try to persuade property owners over the lines which they traverse to drain and grade the road so that they may become at least passable In weather like that at present prevailing. Another purpose Is to enlist public senti ment in the furtherance of more efficient rural carrier service, and to convince the public of the present Inadequacy of com pensation for the carrier. Th carrier of Lancaster county were to meet at Lincoln last evening for organiza tion, a wer the carrier of Gage county for a similar purpose. The intention is to enlist th Interest of the rural carrier all over the state in these matter. For th KlshlneS Sufferers. A ball wa given last night at th new Metropolitan hall. Twenty-third and Har ney streets, under the auspices of Hebrew camp No. 4944. Modern Woodmen of Amer ica, of Omaha for the benefit of the riot sufferers at Klshtneff, Russia.

Phillips was arrested In front of the postofflce a few daya ago from descriptions sent from Denver. Young Perkins is a mulatto boy 11 years of age snd is one of the smartest young criminals of the mountain city. II professes to have some reverence fhr his mother, and was de'lghted wnen Sheriff O'Neill told him that his father had left Denver and is now In California.

RAILROADS GET A SOARING Trains Bun Slowly and Irregularly on Account of Heavy Rains. ROCK ISLAND THE GREATEST SUFFERER Forced to Abandon Its Service In K braskav and Ran Only Stab Train la Iowa Trouble ea Other Road. 'Th soaking that won t com off Is th way a railroad man describe the effect ot the heavy rains that have softenei all roadbeds and made it necessary for trains to observe precautionary rules for severul days. No railroad is entirely free from the effect of the continuous rains and some are severely handicapped, yet all the Omaha lines are steering clear of acci dents In a way that is nothing short ot remarkable. The Rock Island probably Is the greitest sufferer. It has been forced to abandon Its service In Nebraska and to run only stub trains in parts of Iowa, ao heavy have been the rains along lta routes. The worst floods on the Rock Island in thla state seem to be In the vicinity of Fair bury. Parts of the trackage might be safe for use, but the Rock Island desires to take no chances and In the Interest of Its patrona has abandoned Its trains tem porarily. Between Omaha and Denver. Meanwhile all trains west from Omaha to Denver are being sent out over the Union Pacific main line, aa are also all of the Union Pacific trains between Kansas City and Denver. These trains are all going from Omaha to Kansas City over the Wabash, which is practically the only road running through Kansas and Missouri which is not tied up greatly by washouts and soft tracks. The Missouri Pacific is having great difficulty, but has met with no accidents. Its train due out of Omaha Friday night at 10 o'clock was held aa a precautionary measure until 4 yesterday morning. It then left the city over the regular route, but got no further than Union, when it wa compelled to return and go down by way of South Omaha over the old route. This route has been badly flooded In places, particularly near Springfield, and slow time will have to be made In order to avoid danger. All trains over the Missouri Pacific on the divisions between Omaha and Kansas City are being held over night and run only in the daytime, aa the danger from new washouts and soft track is growing greater with the Increased rains of yester day afternoon and last evening. Overflow of the Missouri. Passenger train No. 3 on the B. & M., due here from Kansas City, was nine hours' late as a result of the tremendous overflow of the Missouri river below St. Joseph and In the vicinity of Forest City, where the flood has been bad from the first, It finally came in with all passengers safe. No. 27, duo from St. Louis at 11:05 a. m., was annulled altogether, as the high waters In places, chiefly between Hamburg, la., and Blgelow, Mo., made It extremely haz ardous to undertake to run that train through. While the B. St M. had a deal of trouble in and about Nebraska City the tracks have all been repaired so that trains ar running everywhere to the west, althougn the soft track and points where repair has been made on bridges causes aome delay In the running time. A very unuaual thing occurred on the Union Pacific. The train from Denver to Kanaaa City yesterday came In through Omaha and from here went down on the Wabash to Kansas City. As is known, the Union Pacific and other lines skirting the Kaw, Missouri and Blue river swamps are having a hard time to cope with conditions. Yet they ar doing th job in good shape, no accidents having been reported up to this time. On the Iowa Lines. The Illinois Central reports its trains on time or nearly so and no grave difficulty with it tracks. Th Milwaukee. North weatern and Wabash also are pulling through In good ahape, having been spared th hardship that haa befallen aoma of their competitors. Speaking of the general conditions. Tom Hughes, traveling passenger agent for the Missouri Pacific, who has Just returned from a trip over th country, says: This Is a wetting that won't pasa off In a day or two. The ground all over the Mis souri valley la ao thoroughly aoaked that It will take much time to put the tracka and roadbeda In safe condition. There Is nowhere for the water to go. There ia ao much In the ground that no quick seepage process ia. posalble. It will be quite re markable ir aome of the roada In this part of the country don't experience even more trouble than they have, If this weather keeps up. Certainly the roada have thus far met the emergency In heroic fashion." FRIARS REMAIN DETERMINED Will Hold Land la Philippine In Op position to Will of , the Pope. ROME, May 30. Cardinal Ramnolla fn. received in private audience Rev. Edward J. Vattmann, chaplain of the Twenty-ninth United States Infantry, who presented his report of the situation of Catholicism In me rnmppine islands. It appears that the idea of havina- r. course to arbitration of the purchase of the friar lands, which was again favored after Archbishop Guldl's arrival at Manila, Is now looked upon coldly by the Interested parties. Governor Taft and his colleaanea r.r ,. Philippine commission are In doubt of th feasibility of again proposing arbitration, fearing the friar and cromotori of h. companies Interested In the sal of th ianas in question may reject th proposi tion. ArchbtshoD Guldl la falthfutlv out th Instruction which he received In Home, but the friars openly disregard them, denying the right of Interference on th part of th pop in a question which they consider to be entirely under the jur isdiction of th order Interested.
