MAIN POST FOR SIGNAL CORPS HERE Mero of Arctic Espedltlon Saved by Srhlejr ft Dramatic Ft a arc in lh Arena, of Pabllo Affair. nrlaadler General Adolphus W. Gre!y, chief signal officer of the United States army, was In the city Friday on his return from Alaaka, where he has been Inspecting the Installation of the various features of the slcrnal eervlce in that territory. While In the city he visited The Bee office bulld- ( ng, calling upon hts old-time friend, Ed ward Rosewater. During the afternoon General Oreely met a number of Omaha friends. Including Senator Millard, Judge Wakeley. Herman Kountze, Dr. George U. Miller, General John C. Cowln and others. He left for Fort Ieaven worth Friday even ing, where he will lnipect the signal service school. While In the city General Greely, In com pany with Major M. Gray Zaltnskl, visited the new urmy signal poet at Fort Omaha and 'expressed himself as much pleased with the progress of affnlrs there. "I am Just on my return from Alaska, where we have been putting the United Estates signal service system In shape, covering a distance of 1,40 miles," said the general. "We have a cable line from Seattle to Valdes and ' Rkaguay, a land line from Valdes to St. Michaels and a wireless system from St. Michaels to Nome, a distance of 107 miles. In the fourteen months that this wlreloss system hus been In operation it has worked without In terruption. Over a million of words have passed oer this wireless system and In the year or more there have been no errors nor has a code word been transmitted Incorrectly." Omaha, the tleadquartera. In respoDse to an inquiry relative to the establishment of the Fort Omaha signal station, he said: ' Fort Omaha will be made the head quarters of the signal service of the United states army, supplanting Fort Meyer, Va. Four of the twelve companies of the sKnal service will be stationed here as soon as accommodations can be prepared for them. Two of the companies will be here in about two weeks to take station. It Is not prob able that any balloon experiments will be made at Fort Omaha, because of the ir-rt-gularity of the air currents In this sec tion. , However, the Fort Omaha signal achool will be the most important one In the country and will be the main signal t-rvlce school for the army. The newly rehabilitated fort la admirable for the purpose and la withal one of Hie hand somest posts In .the country, or will be when it la completed." Traces of Faaaoas Kipedltloa. v General Greely ' Is a more than national character and Is a fine courtly gentleman. He still bears traces of his terrible experi ences In the Arctic regftme from 1S81 to ISM. He la but little past 8U years of agu. He entered the army as a member of the Nine teenth Massachusetts volunteer Infantry at the outbreak of the civil war. He was appointed second lieutenant In the Eighty first United States colored Infantry in "S63. (list lieutenant In ImH. brevetted major .ii March, IMS, and promoted to a cap taincy the same year. Ha entered the reg ular army as a second lieutenant of the Thirty-sixth Infantry In 1R67 and was trans ferred to the Fifth United States cavalry In 1W9. In IRTft he was transferred to the signs! corps and was Ktath.nedi at Omaha In the prrxent army building as signal of ficer and Is consequently well .known to many old Omaha residents of that period. It was while he wns a member of the sig nal corps that he was assigned to duty In command of a party of twenty-five men. some or them from his old regiment, the Fifth ravalry, to, undertake an expedition to the frozen seas of the north, with the ostensible purpose of establishing a supply depot at the farthest point accessible for future Arctic explorers. The rarty set sail from ft. Johns. Newfoundland. July 7. 1W1. After Incredible hardships the party finally established a depot at Thirty Frank lin bay and began exploring the frozen seas from that point, rendering incalcula ble service In their varied meterologtcal observations Jto the science of polar re search. While at Tdy Franklin hay two of his party, Lieutenant Lockwood and Rergeant Bralnard. traveled to within SH6 miles of the geographical pole, the farthest point then reached by nny Arrtlc explorer and since only exceeded hy Dr. Nansen by less than a degree. The supplies of the Greely party becoming low and fhe ex pected relief expeditions falling them, the party started on its return to Cape Pa- bine, 20n miles southward, where arrange ments had been made to meet them with a relief expedition fitted out by the United States government. One of Moat Thrilling: Storlea. The march of the little party of Intrepid explorers from Idy Franklfn hay to Cape Sabine comprise one of the most thrilling slortea of human endurance and travel. Most of the party perished on the march and had to be abandoned. Finally, after the most Incredible hardships, the ema ciated remnant of the party reached Cape Sabine. They built a sort of shelter from the fragments of an old tent and managed to live in It. suffering untold privations from hunger, scurvy and cold for several months. Their food supplies, meager as they were, had become exhausted and they were reduced to the extremity of eating their skin clothing and hoots; and finally this precarious sustenance was exhausted and the men 'gave themselves up for Inst and reconciled themselves to a miserable death. Occasionally one or two of the stronger members of the party crawled out of their miserable hovel and found a few shrimp, which gave them a little longer lease of life. However, with but six of the party now surviving, all hope was not com pletely abandoned and from the highest point at their refuge at Cape Sabine a fragment of the tent was unfurled from a makeshift pole torn from one of the sleds. A short whlfc prior to the final res cue of the party a United States vessel approached In slirht of Cape Pahlne. but. eelng no sign of life there, sailed away again. Srbley to the Rtirir, However, on July 21, 1"A, Captain Win field Scott Schley, commanding an Ameri can naval vessel, appeared off Cape Sahine In search of the Greely party and saw the flutering piece of tent cloth. The result was the rescue of the party of survivors, six In number. Had Captain Schley delayed his visit twelve hours longer the entire party would have perished As it was they were In the most pitiable condition. Cap tain Greely was temporarily blind and de lirious and the others were so emaciated from their privations and sufferings as to be unable to move or sn.uk. Of that party General Greely and 8er- 1 geant David L. Bralnard are todiy the only survivors. Sergeant Bralnerd Is now a major In the United States army, con nected with the commissary department. The rescuer of the Greety party still lives In the person of Rear Admiral W. S. Schley, retired, United States navy, who won Imperishable fame in the Spanish-American war. As soon as Captain Greely had recovered from his terrible experiences In the north, he was promoted to a captaincy In the signal corps and upon the death of General W. B. Hazen, chief signal officer In 1SS7, President Cleveland appointed Captain Greely to the vacancy, with the rank of brigadier general, which position he has since occupied. He Is a member of practically all the geographical societies of the world and Is today recognized as one of the foremost meteorologists of the age. BIG CROWDS IN BOTH TOWNS Ten Thousand at , Cheyenne and Eighty Thonaaad at Denrer Daring; Week. Alfred Darlow. advertising manager for the Union Pacific, has returned from Chey enne and Denver, where he went to attend the Frontier day celebration and the Grand Army of the Republic convention. Mr. Darlow said: "Frontier day was a big success and has grown to be the largest and grandest cele- untiiuii m us mno. in tne world. I was there Monday, the (hlrd day, and there were over 10.000 people on the grounds to witness the pranks of. the cowboys, the Indians, the wild horses and the wild steers. There was nothing artificial about it and nothing of the kind has ever approached it in grandeur and successful management. "There were SMVio extra people In Denver because of the Grand Army of the Republic and the cheap rates, and yet there was no confusion nor disorder. The story of peo ple having no place to sleep is all foolish ness. Denver Is the Ideal convention city because of the mountains, parks. hotls and climate. The people there seemed to live on the streets; they were out at all times of the day. This was the grandest convention ever held In Denver and Denver t.aa pulled off some good ones at that, which I am not overlooking."

COUNCILMAN IN CONTEMPT Eack, Djball, Eyani, Huntington and Schroedsr Subject to Court's Order. JUDGE SUTTON AUTHORIZES ACTION Court Dcclnrca Majority Members of City Council Entered Into Con spiracy to Violate Ju dicial Instructions. Judge Sutton Friday morning Instructed County Attorney Slabaugh at once to file Informations against Councllmen Rack. Dyball, F.vans, Huntington and Schroeder for alleged contempt of court in violating the restraining order Issued out of his court last Wednesday afternoon. In reaching this decision and giving his Instructions to the county attorney Judge Sutton spoke in severe terms of what he bluntly called "the conspiracy of these councllmen to violate the order of the court." The court reviewed recent Injunction his tory In Douglas county, as affecting the city council, and said: "It is common knowledge in Omaha that for a long time certain of the councllmen have been organized and prepared to treat with contempt any order that might be issued against them by the courts. They have publicly announced that Intention, and at least one councilman was quoted hy the newspapers aa having made that declara tion on the floor, of the council.. All of the equity Judges of this county have thor oughly understood this. "I am not, therefore, surprised at the action of the council In ignoring the re straining order Issued In this matter, and I am of opinion that a speedy hearing and Investigation of this complaint should be had. t ...j . . . . . .. I nope I am mistaken about some of these things I have mentioned, but 1 certainly shall not allow any other pro ceeding to Interfere with this matter of contempt. Right now is the time to take up and settle the complaint against these councllmen. 1 do not want to In the least prejudice their rights, but I feel I should not do anything to help them carry out their conspiracy against the order of the fourt." This latter remark was made In giving a refusal to Attorney Connell's request that the Issue as it might affect the mayor ought to be decided at once, as Mayor Moores has only until next Tuesday to sign or return the gas ordinance to the council. The court continued: "1 rare nothing at all about the parties In issue. I certainly would not allow myself to be made a party to pulling any chestnuts out of the fire for the electric light company, and 1 have no personal Interest in the gaa company or in the official acts of the councllmen. as such. But if these oouncllmen have done everything they could to violate the order of this court they are not to be excused by any other intervening proceeding. The important question right now. be yond all others, is: Did the court have Jurisdiction to Issue the restraining order and was the proper bond given? The court Is clearly of the opinion, after some examination cf the law. that it had Juris diction of the subject n atter. Continuation for Mayor. "A continuation until September IS will i takao in the matter as It affects or relates to the mayor's office, and In the meantime the restraining order will re main In force. 1 have never known Mayor Moores to violate an order of the court and I do not fear that he will violate this one. "Matters suggested hy counsel can be set up as part of the defense In the contempt proceeding and will be subject to proof or refutation." Judge Sutton's peremptory order to the county attorney was made after a hearing of sn hour. Attorney Oilier, asking for the contempt order, on behalf of T. W. Blackburn, who secured the restraining or der, and Attorneys Connell and Rreen the one strongly against the proceeding, the other tentatively so had presented their contentions at length. Mr. Oilier empha sized the alleged Indignity to the court and the bar smd suggested that half a dozen members of the latter organization should be called Into the case to possibly outline a remedy. He also presented af fidavits, sworn to hy himself and President Zlmmsn of the council, giving a detailed account of the court and council proceed ings In the case. He closed by demanding the offending councllrrfan should be at once placed In Jail. Mr. Connell In opening was sarcastic In his allusions to Messrs. Rlackbiirn. Weaver and Glller. the legal wranglera. or appli cants, c.n the other side. He likewise shot a few warm allusions at the electric light company and the Douglas County Bar as sociation and threw out a aly hint as to barristers without briefs. Then he set tled down to a discussion of the surround ing facts and circumstances which he said had to be taken Into consideration. He said: No Contempt tor Court. "The members of the city council have only the highest respect for your honor. This restraining ord?r was not treated In a contemptous manner. It was secured at the last hour before action was to be taken on an ordinance that had to be reported out under a time limit. The councllmen were given no opportunity to be heard in court. And. In any event, tne restraining order merely enjoins them from passing the ordinance, not from ronslderng or voting on It. We claim It never was passed and Is not in any sense a legal or dinance." Mr. Connell then offered a separate an swer on behalf of Mayor Moores and asked a hearing on It forthwith. He contended that such a hearing would develop all the facts and that It could he readily shown that this case waa not in the aame shape as cases cited by counsel pleading for the con tempt order. He also dwelt on the fact that the mayor has, under the charter, until next Tuesday to sign, veto or return the ordinance aa not a legal one. Sutton Ready to Act. When City Attorney Breen had stated that he represented the four councilmen who refused to vote on ths ordinance, Mr. Giller arose to elaborate on his argument. Judge Sutton stopped him by saying: "The court is ready to decide 'this at once." He then spoke substantially as quoted above. At the end of Judge Sutton's talk Attor ney Connell again attempted to have the court take action on the mayor s end of the case first. City Attorney Breen likewise suggested that a demurrer proceeding might solve the question of whether or not the court had Jurisdiction ab Initio over the persons and the subject matter. Then there was a lot of legal sparring, but the court was firm in Insisting that the proceeding against the councllmen for alleged con tempt should be heard first, and as quickly as possible. All of the attorneys. Mr. Connell espe cially, aald the sooner the hearing waa called the better It would suit them. County Attorney Slabaugh said he would endeavor to have the informations ready so that the case might proceed Saturday morning. With this understanding Judne Sutton ad journed court until 10 o clock Saturday morning. a new trial in the Krause brothers case will go over mull next Tuesday. The Krause brothers were convicted at the May term of the federal court of Illegally fencing a quantity of government land in Sheridan county. NO SURFACEW0RK FOR HIMf Careful Observer Cannot Stand for Man Who Won't Think. "A man after my own heart Is one that probes Into the hidden meaning of things." remarked the Careful Ohserver yesterday afternoon, as he and the Oldest Inhabitant moved away from a phonograph that was desecrating the flag by playing "The Star Spangled Banner." with a broken record. "Tes, Indeed," continued the Infinitely careful one. "a man that lives out his little life from day to day by merely ac cepting things at their face value, without dipping Into the stream and bringing up the hidden mysteries and beauties, will not get much out of life, will not have his cognomen Inscribed In the hall of fame, nor will he see his name In the advertised letter list, or be asked to say a few words on public occasions. I have tried both ways and never got In on the money until I shouldered my little spade and began turning up the sod and otherwise making my presence felt." "You have again struck a paying lead," replied the Oldest Inhabitant. as he stopped at a window to view some horse show clovhes and light his pipe. "Time was when I would Just drift along with the current, would never grumble about the weather or the irlce of gas and would never ask whether the white elephant at the circus was whitewashed or the real thing. I Just took things as they came, paid my money and took my pick without asking whether the eggs might be fresh or cold storage variety. But now It is different, for I walk boldly up and ask the man what Is what and take a second look at the substance before I Jump for the shadow. There Is a hidden meaning, an obscured significance, In everything and It is ours for the asking." "From the greatest and grandest things In the world down to a box of figs or the smallest atom one may find new and Interesting discoveries every day. Do you know there are sermons In stones? Do you realize that In the meanest man or woman you ever met there is some little hidden virtue? Do you believe that by searching for the real and hidden meaning of things tre old traditions are one hy one being relegnted to the Junk pile? Do you appreciate that one can never tell by the looks of a frog how far he Is going to Jump? You know that still waters run deep and that the early bird rides on the first car and geta the best at the market. There la a why and a wherefore In all these things. Things don't Just happen In this world." The Careful Observer said all that. "Inasmuch as we agree on every point there Is no occasion for argument, so I move you that we close the Incident and go down to the next comer and watch the policemen catch Pat Crowe," concluded the Oldest Inhabitant. The motion being seconded and carried, the Careful Observer and the Oldest In habitant went to the next corner, only to find that the rrowd was viewing a man who had been shopping two hours with his wife and was yet happy. Disappointed In not seeing the king of kidnapers the two bosom citizens went to a bakery and bought some coffee cake.
