forms were cloned to the minute, and
papers were delivered to the satisfaction
of all subscribers. But "the devil" played
the star part, with the "hell box" as a
side partner. Owing to this combination,
which waa greatly In evidence, even to
the layman, all day long the number if
Omaha people present waa limited. But,
as remarked both by vinltors and cttlsens,
the welcome given the delegates was warm
warm in brevier, minion, nonparlel and
all other type bodies.
Covalfs band, through the courtesy cf
Leader Gus Covalt and the permission of
Manager Griffiths of Manawa, gave a de
lightfully rendered concert from 7:30 to
SO o'clock, while the audience waa as
sembling. The boxes were tastefully fes
tooned with Old Glory and ths stage
adorned with palms and plants.
Dr. George L. Miller, as the veteran
newspaper man of other days, whom the
Omaha and Nebraska newspaper men of
today delight to honor, presided. In calling
the convention to order Dr. Miller said:

KANSAS CITT, July 7.-Dr. T. B. Mehun,
who was a member of the Wellman Arctic
expedition to the north In 18M. arrived ln
Kansas City today enroute to Washington
from Old Mexico, where he has been con
nected with a mining company.
Dr. Mohun reports the discovery of be
tween 300 and 400 female skeletons In a
deserted monastery nfty miles west of
Nacoxari, In the mountains of northern
Mexico. The skeletons were found by
miners in search of treasure. He displays
several photographs of the monastery,
which show in vivid detail the pile of hu
r.ian bones.
"News of the discovery," aald Dr. Mohun
today, "has not reached the outside world.
The skeletons might have been there 1,000
years or the women might have been killed
by the last great earthquake that visited
that region, in 18K. I bold to the theory
that the country there was first settled by
the Chinese and that perhaps these women
were Chinese. The skeletons are small ln
size and apparently no attempt had been
made to hide them, though they were partly
covered with sand and debris."

POPE LEO MAY
POSSIBILITY
An analysis of ths liquid extracted from the pleura shows that It con
tains no pus. Dr. Massonl, In speaking of the case. Said It was full of
surprises and that while he could not hold out any real hope of tha
patient's recovery, hla wonderful vitality and the recent rally, together
with the fact that his mind remains clear, still left a chance, though
slight.
The pope Is rapidly growing weaker, but retains his mental faculties.
He hss ssked that he be told the moment that the crisis seems Imminent.
A private cablegram received in New York from Rome says: "Ths
end of the pope Is very near. His weakness Is extreme."
During the afternoon the doctors performed an operation. Eight hun
dred grams of liquid were removed from the lung cavity ot ths dis
tinguished patient. Tha pops underwent ths operation with courage and
at Its close his general condition was better.
Dr. Maszonl says that ths Illness from which the pope Is suffering is
full of surprises and that he may live three days longer, but all hope ot
recovery has been abandoned.
A cabinet council has been called in Rome to consider steps to be

MEETING OF JANKERS TODAY
Gronp No. 1 ef the Nehraakn Bankers'
Association Will Convene nt
Falls City.
At Falls City, Neb., today the members
of Group No. 1 of the Nebraska Bankers'
association meet and local bankers wllf
leave for that place by the 10 o'clock train
thla morning and return Wednesday. J.
T. Trenery of the Farmers' National bank
of Pawnee City, president of this group,
is a hard worker and will probably have
a large and successful meeting. Matters
of interest to bankers In this portion of
the state will be discussed. This fs the
last group meeting of the season, but in
October at Lincoln comes the annual con
vention of the nine groups of the associa
tion. The new depository law, enscted in Lin
coln this year, has created a considerable
demand for depository bonds. In regard
to this Henry R. Gould said: "I have to
day sent ln four applications for deposi
tory bonds, aggregating 8T7.0OO. and during
the month I have figured the total for
thirty duys as 8335,000. There would not
have been an application for 1 cent be
fore the riassage of this statute. The de
pository law provides that no officer, di
rector jor stockholder of a bank shall sign
a bond, but this must be done by bonding
companies. I consider the law a One thing.
During the hard times of several years
ago a number of banks failed, and ln ao
doing carried down with them a large
amount of city, school and state money.
The greater part of this has never been re
covered." Movements of Ocean Vessels July 7.

peaceful night.
ur. Luponnl is Bleeping.
(Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.)
ROM E, July K 8:15 a. r.l. (New York
World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The
pope's marvellous vitality has surprised his
doctors Into careful optimism, Itr. Man
sonl saying last night that there la even a
possibility now that he may recover.
Karly In the morning it was decided that
an operation to relieve the pressure of
foreign liquor on the lung was desirable.
This operation was later performed suc
cessfully and the patient dropped Into an
easy, healthful sleep. lie cwoke about 1
a. tn., took some nourishment and again
fell asleep. At this hour he Is resting,
though not so easily as might be desired.
Massonl Renews Hope.
Dr. Maxzont's hopeful opinion was given
to those who questioned him concerning the
success of the operation. He said:
When one considers that the pope should
be dead by this lime, the vjnexoccted may
happen and there is Htill hope, ilia restyl
ing so long and inuliitninlng perfect lucidity
of mind means that notwithstanding tho
pneumonia the uffectlon of the kidneys
and the difficulty ot breathing, there Is
no biood poisoning.
Petween being at the point t.f death and
returning to wnat His HoIIiipkh Im tonight
there Is certainly s.lch a difference as to
permit the most optimUlio views. To
properlv understand the change which has
taken place It must be considered that yes
terday the conviction was ho sure that he
would die before the night, notwithstanding
the contrary pinion of Dr. l.jnmni. uui
those surrounding the pope Insisted on,
having the extreme unction administered
Evil tongues even Insinuate fhut lotna
members of Pope leo's immediate eirolo
counted on the bad effects thtit the function
was likely to produce on a weakened or-
fanism, but the pope resisted splendidly,
ndeed. he seems to have acquired fresh
strength. .
I don't dare to sav anything positive. It
a iv to be deceived, esnec.lallv III the
presence of such marvelous resistance. I
do not believe this will occur yet.
In another Interview Dr. Massnnl spoke
enthusiastically about the pope's extra
ordinary powers of leslstanoe, expressing
a hope of recovery after tho successful op
eration today, but "aid this condition is
always extremely danjerous nnd the catas-
trophe may happen suddenly.
Dr. Baccelll, tho spcclnllHt In lung dis
eases, thinks the pope has live chances In
a hundred.
Two Cardinals Disagree.
Cardinal Oreglla, who will direct the
conclave as chamberlain Of ths church,
had a serious disagreement today with
Cardinal Rampolla, owing to the letter's
refusal to arrange a special apartment for
him ln the Vatican. Cardinal Rampolla
feared the workmen would disturb the sick
pope. The iiuuiiel IS considered destructive
to Cardinal Rampolla s candidature for
pope. He had a long talk with Cardinal
Gnttl tonight. j
Early yesterday morning the pope was
Informed that an operation would perhaps
be necessary. His Holiness began to in
quire about it.
Turning to Dr. Laponni with his usual
familiarity he asVed: "Will it be painful?
Remember, I cannot stand muoh pain."
Instead of Dr. Laponni, Dr. Massonl an
swered: "I can assure Your Holiness that
you will feel no pain. A little coooatne
will deaden all sense."
Pope Leo retorted at once: "Remember,
you ssld the same thing when you ex
tracted that cyst a few years ago." - Dr.
Maxzonl replied: "That operation went
well, but this can hardly ba called an
operation."
"Then do whatever you think best," con
cluded the pope.
When the operation took place nobody
was allowed ln the room beside the doctors
except Pope Leo's valet, Plo Centra.
Pope Rallies His Doctors.
The doctors, desiring a strong light, had
the window widely pend, but the light
troubled the pontiffs eyes. He tried to
get out ot bed to escape it, but Dr. Massoni
did not give him time, but taking him in
his arras, literally turned the pontiff about.
Pope Leo smilod and exclaimed: "Bravo.
professor. I congratulate you. Although
I have become so light I must still be
rather heavy."
Both the doctors laughed and were at tha
same time astonished at tha brightness ot
the pontiff when oppressed by such a dan
gerous illness and on the point of under
going a surgical operation.
Pope Leo remained sitting up ln bed dur
ing the operation wJUiout need of support.
When Dr. Maxzonl substituted the pravas
needle with a potain aspirator the pope
did not even notice it, going through tha
whole affair without emitting the slightest
comment and without showing any feeling
of pain. He was extremely pale, almost
diaphanous, and somewhat tremulous. As
soon as the operation waa closed His Holi
ness felt much relieved. His eye, from an
expression of languid melancholy, assumed
Its usual vivacity. Dr. Massonl at once
administered a cordial wbloh the pontiff
took willingly, thanking him with a grate
ful look for the brave struggle to preserve
his life.
lie afterwards expressed a desire to see
the liquid which had been extraoted from
his thorax. Both doctors assured him that
his wish would be gratified later. The pon
tiff then ssked for minute explanations of
ths apparatus used In the operation. "It
Is a most Ingenious Instrument," he said
"but your hand is also so clever. That
Is why the operation did not give me any
pain. I thank you."
After half an hour's sleep the pope woke
and inquired sbout ths doctors. Hearing
they were preparing a bulletin as to his
condition he asked to tt It. He then went
on to speak about the cause of his Illness.
