A meeting of the fcouth Omaha Live
Stock exchange was held yesterday attei
noon. C. W. SpaigeM C. II. VanAlsteln
and William U. bmlth were elected to
membership. J. 11. Guild, secretary of the
exchange, read communications from other
live stock exchanges In relation to the re
strictions to be made on traveling solicitors,
etc. These letters went to show that what
ever action the South Omaha exchange
todk would be followed by the other ex
changes. There Is a desire here to limit
the number of traveling representatives
and also to cut off the market reports now
sent by wire and by postal card. This
question has been brought up in the ex
change hers before, and It will come up at
a Jator meeting for a final vote. Commis
sion men want to cut down expenses and
they assert that the sending out of dozens
of telegrams a day to prospective shippers
is a needless expense. Hundreds of postal
cards are sent out dally and the Intention
la to stop this practice also. Shippers can.
It Is asserted, get the best and earliest
market reports by the newspapers.
From the tone of the letters received by
Secretary Guild the members of the ex
change here Infer that the other exchanges
are willing to follow In the footsteps of
South Omaha In cutting off this expense.
About fifty members of the exchange had
planned to go on the trip through Iowa
Under the aUKDlcea Of the Omaha Pnmmr.
elal club, but as this trip has been post
poned until a later date other arrange
ments for securing trade for this market
from Iowa points will be made by the local
exchange.
Captain Tsovtan Resigns.
John C. Troutan, captain of police, ten
dered his resignation to the Fire and Police
board last night and It accepted by
Chief Brlggs. Last evening the board held
a session and the chnrgee against three
offlcers tried Wednesday night were con
sidered. William McCralth was fined five
days' pay for letting Bert Clark get away
after he had placed him tinder arrest. Pa
trolman E. J. Pierce was fined ten days'
py for sleeping on duty and was ordered
to report for duty at once. Troutan was
reduced to the ranks for making misstate
ments to the board while under oath, and
the chief was directed to assign him to a
beat
After Chief Brlggs had received the writ
ten orders from the board he called Trou
tan Into his private office and Informed him
that he would have to, walk a beat, at the
am time showing the order. Troutan
asked for pen. Ink and paper and, sitting
at the chiefs desk, wrote his resignation,
which was accepted on tha spot. Troutan
turned over his star and left police head
quarters a private citizen.
P. H.. Shields, a newcomer on tha fr.
but credited as being a good officer, was
Immediately made captain and reported for
duty at once. Shields was on his beat,
but was called In to be Informed that he
had been promoted.
Members of the board think that with the
passing of Troutan thera will be more har
mony on the force than there has been
for some time past and that better work
will be accomplished. The force now con
sists of seventeen men all told, but Chief
Brlggs would like to have a man appointed
for patrol duty as soon as possible In order
that the place vacated by Shields' promo
tion and, the resignation of Troutan can
be filled.

rive carloads of feeder cattle from Mon
tana arrived at the yards yesterday and
after being Inspected by the brand inspec
tors were turned over for sale. These feed
ers were In good condition, but the buyers
ara scarce at this time, as the shipment Is
considered a little early on account of the
condition of the com crop. Farmers are
too busy at home now to pay much atten

stock here do not look for much feeder
trade until along toward the and of the

BATTLE OF THE WATERWORKS
Military Show at Vinton Park Ends
Tonight with Fine Band
Concert.
Several of the L company ' toys of the
First Nebraska who took part In tha orig
inal affair in February, 1890, were a little
reminiscent after the sham battle last
night. The weather reminded' them much
of what they had that night they drove
the Filipinos back- and saved the pump
ing plant of the Manila water works from
destruction. In another way they were also
reminded of that dear old Manila, and that
was in the attendance. It seemed that
the people of Omaha were about as anx
ious to look at the reproduction of tha
scene ss the citizens of Manila were to go
out and see the real thing. However, about
a thousand were present and enjoyed the
excellent concert by the Twenty-second
Infantry band, the splendid exhibition
drills by the Omaha Guards and Thurston
Rifles, and finally the sham battle, which
Is a very realistic spectacle. Tonight will
be the wlndup performance, and the fol
lowing program will be rendered by the

"One day about eight years ago there
came to my battery at the Presidio, along
with a batch of recruits who had been
enlisted in San Francisco, a well-bred-looking
young chap whose countenance was
somehow familiar to me, and yet, try aa I
would, I couldn't quite place him," said
an artillery officer of the regular army.
"In appearance, manner, carriage and talk
he was far and away ahead of tho averagii
recruit so much so, in fact, that I wan
rather sorry that he had been assigned to
my battery.
" This young fellow,' , I said to myself
when I had looked him over, 'la probably
a scapegrace aon of good people who haa
no doubt got himself Into some sort of a
mess or other and he has enlisted for tho
purpose of getting under, cover for a spell
Ho'll tire of army life and discipline In
side of a month and complain to his folk.
whoever they may be, and then they'll
begin to move heaven and earth to obtain
his discharge, and theie will be the deuce
to pay. Or, being an educated youth and
perhaps afflicted with the swelled head, he
will not yield to discipline at all and will
develop into a barrack lawyer and make
all hands discontented and spend most of
his own time In the clink for misconduct
I wish they hadn't sent him to my battery.'
Proved at Good Soldier.
"But, to my surprise, this young fellow
Immediately began to prove himself a good
soldier. It appeared on his papers that be
hud been a member of some California
mllltla outfit and consequently he didn't
need much drill except on the heavy guns
he was as good as any of the old-timers
at the infantry tactics. He was alert and
a hustler; he knew how' to keep his ac
coutrements polished, he was respectful
and attentive and he knocked Into a cocked
hat my preooncelved notions as to the edu
cated man in the ranks. He applied him
self from the beginning to the study of the
artillery tactics and after so short a space
of time as a week I began to eye that
young man as a prospective noncommis
sioned officer In my battery. I took occa
sion to talk to him some for the purpose
of drawing him out and found that he
conversed like a collegian.
" 'I was wrong about that lad,' I said to
myself after a week. 'Ife has no doubt
entered the army for the purpose of get
ting a commission from the ranks, and If
he goes on as he has begun I'm blamed If
I don't help him toward that goal.'
"About ten days after the young man had
been assigned to my battery there was an
officers' hop at the Presidio, to which many
of the society people of San Francisco were
Irivlted. The hop was in full swing at about
II o'clock when a startling apparition ap
peared at the main entrance to the hall In
which the hop was held. The apparition
was a very tall and exceedingly good-looking
young man, dressed In a fine suit of
silk pyjamas and wearing a pair of tan
Romeo slippers walking deliberately Into
the room with a fixed stare in his eyes. He
was my clever young recruit.
Walked In His Bleep.
' "I was so perfectly astounded that I
dlda't know what, to make of his appear
ance for a moment or so.-Meanwhile the
young man kept advancing down the room,
with his hands stretched out before him, aa
If feeling his way, although the light was
brilliant and everybody In his path made
room for him. " I hastened over to the young
fellow when I had recovered from my as
tonishment and It did not take me a mo
ment to perceive that he was sound asleep
a somnambulist. A number of the 'young
society men from Ban Francisco who were
present set up a laugh when they saw the
young fellow and exchanged looks with
each other. I reproved them with a glance
for laughing at the affliction of a fellow
man. Then I tried a scheme to awaken the
somnambulist which I had seen strolling
hypnotists employ In awakening their sub
jectsthat is to say, I snapped him sharply
behind the ear with the nail of my middle
finger.
"It worked and the young man came to
with a heavy sigh, rubbed his eyes and
gased around the room In apparent alarm
and conaternatlon. Then he. raced out of
the- room at a lope amid the renewed and.
-as I thought, the decidedly rude laughter
of the young fellows from San Franclaco.
I took after the young man and caught up
with hi in on the parade ground aa he was
making for his quarters at a Jog. He
seemed to be terribly put out over the per
formance when I came alongside him and
begged me not to apeak about It.
" 'But,' said I, 'I've got to speak about It,
as I am In command of your battery and I
want to know If this thing happens often
with -you.'
"He made some evasive reply, which
came far from satisfying me. '
" 'Why didn't you mention this matter of
your being a somnambulist to the surgeon
who examined you before you were en
listed?' I asked hlro. 'You are an Intelli
gent man and you assuredly knew that
that sort of thing disqualifies a man from
army service, didn't you?'
"He seemed to be too distressed to make
any sort of reply and ao I left him at the
door of his barrack room and went back
to the hop. I was besieged with Inquiries
about the young mah. The women had all
taken r.otlce of how extremely good looking
the young chap was and some of the ma
trons from the city, whom I knew well,
exhibited certain puzzling, mischievous
mystery of manner when they askod me,
exchanging queer glances with each other!
whether It was quite customary for
privates In the army to wear pink silk
pyjamas aunng tneir hours of slumber, r
dodged most of the Inquiries ss best I
could, feeling somewhat disturbed over the
incident. I had come to rather like the
young fellow and hated to lose him from
my battery, as I knew I would if it was
found out that he was a confirmed som
nambulist. "The young fellow was summoned be
fore the commending officer and the sur
geon on the following day and questioned
closely about the sleep walking business.
The subject seemed to be such a painful
one with him that he couldn't be got to
aay much about it. When he was dis
missed from the presence of the command
ing officer and the surgeon they conferred
for a while about the cse and they de
cided that the young man should have an
other chance.
The Rase fcsnosed.
"Three days later I . was officer of the
d-y. My Chinaman aroused me In my
quarters at midnight, according to Instruc
tions, to go and take the guard' and visit
the poets. I was strolling sleepily toward
t!-.e guardhouse In the starlight when, from
one of the posts, I heard the sentry's per
emptory 'Halt!' but no reply following it.
Halt, there. I say!' growled the sentry,
and still no reply came from the direction
towarl which tha sentry was gazing. 1
looked !n mat direction, too, and there,
slowly advancing upon the sentry, was my
young soldier In his pyjamas, with his
hands auetchlns- out before him. In an
other fnstsnt the aliirmed sentry would
have bayonettcd him. That's all right
sentry,' 1 said to the man on gourd, and
then I walked over to the young fellow In
the pyjamas and again snapped him awake.
" 'This about finishes your career In the
army, my son," I said to him, and then,
with a look of distress he ran off to the
barracks.
"On the night following his discharge I
dropped Into the Bohemian club. In the
grill room, surrounded by about forty hilar
ious members of the Bohemian, my young
soldier, with c sheet wrapped around his
evening clothes, a candle held out before
him and a finely simulated fixed stare In
his eyes, was going through a sleep walk
ing scene that evoked storms of laughter.
He was giving them a somewhat exagger
ated imitation of how he had contrived to
get out of the t'nlted States army after
less than two months, without deserting or
being bob-tailed,' to win a large bet which
ho had made with one of his fellow mem
bers of the Bohemian club." Washington

LEFT LARGE SUM- OF MONEY
Eccentric Chicago Hermit Discovered
to Have Been a Very
Rich Man. (
Three million dollars' worth of property
has already been unearthed by Executor
Edward A. War Held as belonging to the
estate of Colonel George T. Cllne, the ec
centrlo Chlcagoan who died July 7, and
whose will has recently been admitted to
probate. Until the examination of Colonel
Cllne's thousands of letters and papers is
oomplete It will not be known how much
more the estate Is wprth, but It Is said to
be possible that It will approximate 16,000,
000. Colonel Cllne, who was 80 years old and
who had lived aixty-three years 'in this
city, was a strangely secretive man.' Me
discussed his affairs with no one, and It
Is only by a careful reading of every pa
per he left that the existence and location
of his vast property holdings can be de
termined. New discoveries of real estate,
checks and notes are being made every
day. It will probably take two years to
get the estate closed up.
Despite Colonel Cllne's wealth he was
known to few persons in Chicago. He
belonged to the old-time school of finan
ciers before the fire. Some of his former
cronies were "Long John"vWentworth,
Matthew Laflln, Jonathan Clark and Jacob
Forsythe. As his old friends died he failed
to make new ones, and In recent years he
had lived entirely alone, rooming at a cheap
boarding house and eating usually only
one meal a day at yet cheaper restaurants.
Lodging-house life ceased to have attrac
tion for the colonel in 1893. and he then
bought the Woodbine hotel, at EnglewoAd,
a frame structure put up for the world's
fair, and containing seventy-five rooms.
Here he lived until his death, absolutely
alone and Inhabltatlng one room only. He
took care, however, that the other seventy
four rooms were furnished, and for the
purpose bought the furniture of the old
Prand Paciflo hotel and Installed It at the
Woodbine.
Underneath his bed were ranged eight
violins, side by side, each In a leather
case and each covered by a white silk
handkerchief. Here the colonel's passion
was concentrated. For ten years he passed
the time in that room, rarely going out
but to infrequent meals, and playing the
violin the remainder of his waking hours -Chicago

Steel Mills Close for Repairs, -
PITTSBURG, Aug. 7. Three of the six
teen mills of the Homestead steel works
have closed down for necessary repairs,
throwing out of employment about 600
men. The suspension at this time is not
unusual. During the next few weeks many
of the mills and furnaces of the Carni'glo
Steel company will be closed down for re
pairs. Despite the settlement of the annual
flint glass wage scales at the conferenca
held at Star Island, there has, been no gen
eral resumption of work in the factories.
There is a strike on at the Phoenix glass
works at Monaco, Pa., and the company
has entered suit against Its workmen for
damages in the cost of melting glass, the
work of dipping It out, and the loss of
production. Proceedings are to be started
against the national officers of the work
ers' organization.
Let's fly away, Cookies!
We're light enough
to do the trick.

REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER
After Trying Other Treatments lly.
ontel Waa t'sed With Perfect
Sneeess.
Prior' to the discovery of Hyomei, the
only advice a physician could give to a
hay fever patient was to go away from
home but now any one who expects the
disease, can, if Hyomei is used, stay at
home without fear of the annual attack
of sneealng, watery eyes, and other dis
comfort. J. F. Forbes, a well known western rail
road man, whose home la at McCook. Neb.,
writes, "I have never had relief from any
remedy for hay fever, even temporarily,
until I discovered the merits of Hyomei.
I will always recommend It whenever oc
casion requires."
There is no offensive stomach dosing
when Hyomei Is used. It Is a reliable
remedy for the cure of all diseases of the
respiratory organs snd Is breathed through
a neat pocket Inhaler that comes with
every outfit, so that the air taken Into the
throat and lungs Is like thst of the White
Mountains or other health resorts where
hsy fever Is unknown.
Sherman A McConnell who have the local
agency for Hyomei, advise all who are
subject to hay fever to begin Its use two
or three weeks before the time of the
annual appearance of this disease and thus
prevent the attack. If. however, Hyomei
la not used until the sneezing and other
dlsagreekblo symptoms have shown them
selxs. it is necefsary to use the treatment
more frequently, at least half a dozen times
(lal.y, and Hyomei Balm should be rubbed
Into the nostrils both morning and night.
Itie f ict lhat Sherman A McConnell agree
to refund the money to any hay raver suf
ferer who usee Hyomei without success,
should inspire confidence In Its power to
eKevt a cure.
