ORIGIN AMD DEVELOPMENT OF AFFAIR pTldlm tor Pr Ob NrMi ( Hllir. fhe project of formnr oelrtrUn th. uml-centennlal nnvry of tha pwud of the N.brk-Kana bill bM bean vod.r com.raptatton by the old eetUere of the tate, and particular Omaha, for three or . four past. The matUr waa tak.n up by the Bona of Omaha and diaoueaed a year or more ago and they atood ready at all times to take part la the celebration. A meeting of the old aettlnra of Omaha vai called nrat by Dr. Oeorre X Miller to further dlucuaa tha project, and waa later followed by similar meeting, at the horoaa of John I. Kedlclt and Henry W. Yatea. and aa a result the movement crystallsed Into a determination to o.lebrate tha occa sion In soma way. An effort had been pre vIoiiBly made to hava tha stata take official cognisance of ths matter, and that the legislature make sums appropriation for ths oMlclal celebration. This a strongly - urged editorially In Tha Bee and World Jlerald. In his messaga to ths leglslatura Governor Mickey called attention to tha matter, com mending tha project, but nothing came of It and hence tha plan of making the afialr an official oelabratlon fell through. Old settlers of Omaha were not to ba deterred by legislative dlaojuragements, 'tnd a meeting of old settlers, residents of Omaha, was called and en organisa tion effected during last I a II and winter. lr. George I Miller was mads chairman ef tha organisation and B. K. II. Kennedy secretary, and Judgs 3.W. Ptaus. Ouy C. barttm, Edward Koaswater. John I. Redick, iienry W. YaUa, James M .Woolworth, Charles F. Manderson and James B. Boyd aa members. This committee was to as sume general charge of tha celebration, and a delegation of tha general committee con stating of Henry W. Yates and Dr. Oeore L. Miller wsa sent to the Sons of Oman to ask them to take axeoutlve manage ment of the celebration. Baafa af Omtht Take Bold. It was unanimously voted by the Bona of Omaha to undertake the work and enter loyally Into the spirit of the" enterprise to execute whatever tha general committee should eommand. This committee of the Sons of Omaha was appointed on January 80, UOi, by Victor D. Caldwell, president of the Sons of Omaha; Victor Boaewater, chairman; Luther M. Kuhns, vice chairman; W. a. Doans, Charles II. Brown, W. & Poppleton, Fred Mets and Charles D. But phen. The last three members of this com mittee have not served, the work devolving upon the remaining members. The financing of the celebration waa con fided to a committee of tha general commit tee, with Henry W. Yates at Its bead and another committee ' headed by Edward Rosewater was charged with the secur ing of speakers. W. O. Doana was put in charge of arrangements for a elvlo and military parade, Luther M. Kuhns at tha head of a committee on reli gious observance and N. P. Dodge, Jr., as head of the committee of arrangements for the Auditorium. . At first the celebration waa set for May M, the date of the passage and approval of the Nebraska-Kanaas bill, and a proclama tion waa issued by Oovernor Mickey, asking all cltlsene of the state to participate In a general observance of the day and occasion. This date being Memorial day, soma objec tions were raised, and In deference to the Grand Army of the Republlo the date waa moved up by tha committee. Owing to the fact that the Omaha Auditorium would not be prepared sufficiently to permit Its use at that time, tha time was finally set for June 10, when tha celebration will be observed. In Estakreak tha meanwhile tow Orato. the committee on speakers Invited lion. Henry D. Eatabrook of MaeV York to deliver tha oration of the day and waa delighted to obtain his ac ceptance. Mr. Estabrook was reared and educated In Omaha. Ills father was first attorney general of the atate. Henry D. Estabrook was one of the best known and esteemed residents of Omaha, an able law yer, a polished orator and a close student of history, particularly of western history, all of which especially qualifies bint to be principal speaker on this occasion. The parade, which will occur at I o'clocl on the afternoon of June 10,. win be of a civic and military character, with Captain Henry E. Palmer as grand marahaL The troops from Fort Crook, the local com panies of the National Guard and the High School Cadet battalion will partici pate In the parade with other orders and organisations. Special axerclsea will be observed In the publlo schools during the forenoon of cele-J bratlon day. These will be of a patriotic character and bearing particularly upon Nebraska history. The parade will conclude at t:W p. m., when the general exercises will take place at tha Auditorium. Dr. Oeorgo L. Miller will preside. All of the living ex-governors and the present governor of Ne braska have been made honorary vice presidents of ths meeting and will occupy seats on the stage. All of the widows now living of ' the territorial officers of Ne braska will be guests of honor of the occa sion. All man now living In Douglas county who were then of age and have lived here since 1887, the date of the admission of the state to the union, will be vloe presi dent of the meeting. The reception committee will consist of prominent business men of Omaha, without reference to the time of their resldenoe. Seats will be reserved on the stage at this meeting for all of the designated officers and committees, and a reserved section will be provided for specially Invited guests, state, county and municipal officials and members of tha press. Tha body of ths house will be thrown open to tha publlo and no invitation will bo required to secure admission. Innes' band will furnish the muslo for the occasion. In the evening at I o'clock an old set tlers' meeting and reunion will be held at the Crelghton Orpheum theater. Short, In formal talks will be given by pioneers of territorial days. This meeting wilt be largely social. No special Invitation will be Issued for this meeting, but nil old settlers are earnestly requested to be present and paxticlpata. Loaded. Coadjutor Bishop Greer tells of a society woman he was gently chiding for being remiss In her attendance at church. "Why don't you come oftener?" be asked. "To be frank, I'm afraid," she replied. "I don't understand." "Well there are times when It Is pos itively dangerous to enter an Episcopal church." "When, prayt" asked the astonished clergyman. "When there Is a canon In the reading desk, a big gun In tha pulpit, or when the bishop is charging the clergy." New York Times.

A man in Randolph county, Missouri, was tried recently for assault with Intent to kill and the prosecuting attorney brought Into court as weapons a rail, an ax, a gun, a saw and a rifle. The defendant's counsel exhibited a scythe, a pitchfork, a pistol, a rasor and a hoe. After deliberating two hours on tha case ths Jury submitted a re port as follows: "Wa, tha Jury, find that the fight took place, and we, the Jury, would hava paid $1 each to have seen It" William Btlles, living near Wellsborourh, Pa, was married recently and a crowd congregated on his roof to celebrate the happy event With that refinement of bucolic wit they sang from early evening until about I a. m. Then It occurred to Stiles that It was time to "pass refresh ments," and he did so. He loaded a shot gun with popcorn and fired both barrels through the roof. There was a howl of mingled surprise and pain and a hasty re treat But Stiles was on guard at the foot of ths ladder and collected enough from the serenaders to pay for repairs to the roof. Nobody was seriously Injured and no ar rests were made. According to the Bangkok Times, tha pro prietor, of a Siamese newspaper hava dis tributed handbills containing the following notice: "The news of English, oh crumbs, we tell the latest. Writ In perfectly style and most earliest Do a murder git com mit, we hear of and tell It Do a mighty ohlif die, oh crumbs, we publish It and in borders of sombre. Staff has each one been colleged and write, oh crumbs, like the Klppllng and the Plckena. We circle every town and extortionate not for ad vertisement Buy It oh crumbs. Buy It Tell each of you Its greatness for good. Oh crumbs. Ready on Friday, Number first" It Is usually considered that ths difficult problem In getting married Is in finding one to have you, but In Farrnlngton, Me., it Is different There, If both are wlllln' and SO signify to ths town clerk. It does not settle the matter, as proved in two different Instances reoently.. In one ease the selectmen of the town Interfered; In the second Instance, where th would-bs bride bad been a widow fourteen days. 1 a written notice was filed with the town clerk, worded as follows: "To Louis Voter, town clerk, we hereby file the following caution with you not to Issue a certificate to and , for this reason that Mrs. '. husband has Just passed away and his mother feels very much grieved in having the marriage take place at present" Signed by six names. When the home of one of tha advertisers in a oountry paper in the far west is bleHsed the editor has a touoh of insptiit tlon. This Is from ths Gold Hill (Wssh.) News: "Lest Sunday morning broke dark and gloomy, but early in the day the som ber clouds parted and suddenly there ap peared a most beautiful and radiant be ing that would rival the Star of Bethle hem in splendor; and as It neared the earth Its voice could ba heard saying, 'I coma from ths Master on the wings of love to bring little gifts to those who doeth the Master's bidding, which sayeth, "Be fruit ful and replenish the earth." ' Thereupon It plucked a tiny feather from Its wing, ' which gently descended until it was cradled In the arms of Mrs. Ernest Vrotnan. It proved to be a very beautiful, but Im perious lady, who will make Ernent get up In the middle of the night and, perchance, step on the point of a great, big tack as he sings a lullaby, Home, Sweet Home.' " niplouiatle Joba C.rr of Alaska. Governor John G. Brady of Alaska is visiting the World's fair. A reporter was condoling with Oovernor Brady over the fact that on his arrival in St. Louis he had been knocked down by a ' bicycle and struck by a trolley car. Tea," said the governor, 'to avoid the trolley I stepped In front of the bicycle. I expectod one accident, but not two. I was not so piggish as John Cnrr of Sitka. "John Carr," ha resumed, "Is a Sitka character. He did a Job of work for a shoemaker one day, and In the middle of the Job the shoemaker culled him Indoors. " That la thirsty work you are doing. John,' said the shoemaker, kindly. 'I am going to give you a drink. Which woukd you prefer, old man, a mug of als or a tumbler of punch T " 'I don't wlah to be trouble.ome,' said John; I'll Just take the one while you're making the other.'
