ARMY MANEUVERS NOW ON
Colonel Bishop of Blues Gains Ad
vantage Over Lincoln of Browns.
EXECUTES FLANK MOVEMENT
Mlaale Combat Expected to , Be Re
earned, In Early Mornlnr Tele,
phones and Wireless Teleg
raphy la lie,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Aug. 10.-(Speclal.)
Through the execution of a shrewd flank
movement Colonel Bishop and the army
of the Blues gained a decided advantage
over Colonel Lincoln and the Browns In
the real army maneuvers today. The
maneuvers since Monday hsve all been
preliminary to the real maneuvers of to
day and tomorrow. As a result of today's
work Colonel Lincoln was forced to fall
back. Bishop crossed the Corydon bridge
at daybreak this morning,' and on the first
alarm to Lincoln he marshalled his forces
to meet the advancing force. Bishop came
down the Ridge road and Lincoln, In ad
vancing, took a position on the eaat side
of the road. Bishop took his position on
the west side of the road, and by a flank
movement was able to cut oil one of the
battalions of Lincoln's army. Thus crip
pled, Lincoln fell back.
Further flank movements were executed
with good effect by Bishop which gave the
Blues ths clear advantage In today's
maneuvers. Because of the fact that most
of the forces of both armies are National
Guardsmen from the offices and shops of
the cities the maneuvers were called off at
I o'clock this afternoon. Both armies
posted outguarda ia guard against any
sudden hostile attack and activity will be
renewed In the morning, probably at about
daybreak.
The fiercest part of today's engagement
was near the home of Dr. Squires, half
way between the state rifle range, where
the Brown army has been camping and
the Corydon bridge, where the Blues
crossed this morning. All the modern ap
pliances of warfare worked perfectly dur
ing the engagement The field telephone
service and wireless telegraphy were both
Used to advantage. Some little difficulty
waa experienced by the Signal corpa early
In the day. Teamsters from Dee Moines
were engaged to bring the Signal corps
paraphernalia out and to haul It from place
to place. Last night they disappeared and
this morning there was a scurrying to And
farmers with teams. They were secured
without great difficulty, before the main
engagement opened between the two armies
at about ltf o'clock.
The point that gavo Bishop the ad
vantage today was the fact that at about
12 o'clock 1,200 men of the Brown army
were exposed to shot and shell of the Blue
army for several minutes. In return, how
ever, Lincoln gained some of the Blues,
when the wagon trains of the Bkee army
were exposed to fire of the artillery of tho
Brown, and were declared destroyed ' by
the umpires. The cavalry of the Brown
army started down the Intervrban tracks
In order to make a flank movement, but
for five minutes were exposed to the' (Ire
of the Blues, and were declared partly
cut off. The Cavalry Is a detachment of
the Second United States regiment sta
tioned at Fort Dos Moines.
Tonight the Blues are oamplng on the
Newburn farm, and the Browns at Camp
Bowen, on the state rifle range. ' 1

APPEAL FOR INDEPENDENT VOTE
E. C. Pe Thinks Party Politics
Haa No Plnce in a City
Election,
"Party politics has no place in municipal
affairs," said Fire and Police Commissioner
Page Friday evening In his address to the
West Leavenworth Street Improvement
club. "The man who votes right In such elec
tions aa choose our mayor for us votes for
the man, not for what the man's opinion
may be upon such subjects as the tariff
and the retention of the Philippines. The
independent vote as a rule in the local
elections is composed of a rather unde
sirable class of cltlsens, and they .ihow
their wisdom In voting for the man thay
want, utterly regardless of hla party
affiliations. It la a plun which we could
profitably copy."
Mr. Page spoke of the beauties of
Omaha and the good that is being done
by the Improvement organizations and
touched upon conditions in . American
cities In general and the reasons for the
success of the special Interests. The most
Insidious form of grafting, according to
Mr. Page, Is not the direct money brine,
but the Indirect privilege buying through
good fellowship, so-called. He vigorously
condemned the spoils system of dealing
with appointive offices.
Councilman Bridges, democratic candidate
for sheriff, was called upon and spoke
briefly upon the street car situation.

Coroner Bralley went to Valley FYidav
and returned in the evening with the body
of Charles W. Slocum of Boston or Pi evi
dence, who was found dead near the Union
pacific tracks in Valley early Friday morn
ing. The right side of his head waa
crushed in and other minor injuries were
found on his body. It la not known how
the man met his death, but circumstances
tend tp show that he was beating his way
on a Union Pacific train and was killed in
getting on or off the cars. His body was
found In a narrow space .letween the
tracks and the coal chute.
Papers found in his pockets indicated
that he had been married In Providence,

and married again in Massachusetts this
year. A card Indicated that he had at on
time been, employed by the California
Jockey club. He was a man of rather
good appearance and who doubtless had
seen better daya. Coroner Bralley has
sent telegrams to the Boston and Provi

asking for Information aa to the man's
relatives. The coroner .will hold an in

the session.
Rev.' A. B. Storms, D. D.. president of

Dr. Loveland said the greatest menace

only mediocre In, his achievements and Is
willing to go through life without accom
plishing the greatest things of which he ia
capable. This, he said, Is more of a menace
than anarchy or drunkenness.
In the evening Eugene Laurent, tho ma

afternoon and took a load of women to
the river. Your correspondent was In

crowd. Each woman carried a mysterious
looking bundle. We heard something
said ' about overalls, and there waa only
one bathing suit in the crowd. Wa were
afraid, as the day was Friday and the
number of the company thirteen, that
some dire calamity would befall them.

ord. Forgot Something It Un't very often a
man of W. H. Strecter's standing is com
pelled to get off a passenger train at the
flrst station best suited. Such was the
case lust Sunday when he left Aurora for
a visit up In Wisconsin, the old home. He
got as far as Seward and discovered he
waa shy the necessary cash to continue hla
Journey. Ho got off and telephoned back
to his good wife to go to his old trousers
and forward to him his cash that he neg
lected to take ilong. The cash was 1m
medlatly forwarded and the last heard
from him he was on his way for the old
home. He Intends staying until winter,
but It Is thouTht he will be back In about
three weeks, his usual allotted time on a
trip. Aurora Sun.
The Earth's Inhabitants The following
clipping from a Michigan paper waa aent
to the Bradshaw Republican by Grandma
Palmer, who has a warm spot In hor
heart for the poor editor because he Is com
pelled to have so much to do with that
"poor excuse of a man:" "In the begin
ning God created the heavens and the
earth, then the editor, then the liberal ad
vertiser vhlrh was all good. The next day
It snowed and He created the man who
does not believe In advertising and another
who Ui"s not take the home paper and
then He rested. And then the devil got Into
the molding room and created the man who
takes the paper for several years and
falls to pay for It. After ho had completed
that sorry Job, and having a few lumps
le:t, he created the excuse of a man who
settles hla subscription by Informing the
postmaf ter to mark his paper 'refused.' "
Trials of an Editor Yesterday there
was fire and brimstone around the Tribune
office. It goes without saying that when
the able editors have been working hard
all day. compiling things the public should
know at the earliest possible moment, the
thing to do is to go to prsss promptly and
disseminate the information. But on this
occasion every weak spot In the system
disclosed Itself. The big roll of paper which
Is supposed to unreel, snapped and snap
ped; the column rules kept working up and
splitting the sheet; the felt packing on the
cylinders lost Its fastenings; the folding
apparatus would clog, and everything went
awry. Tho struexle continued for four
mortal hours. Only one sack of papers got
Into theveven1pg mails. It began to ap
pear that the news In the paper would
be as stale as thut In the morning sheet.
Meantime the business office emitted a
sound as If a Swiss bell ringer was giving
a con-crt. The two telephone systems
played a lively duet. Subscribers were
wiring notice that the carrier had missed
them, when the poor carrier boys were
groaning around In the press room, helping
o shovel sulphur. 1'mslopagus, tho
mlgnty foreman of the press room who has
charge of the big piece of machinery, was
Trend and gloomy. From his eyes shot
blue lightning, and smoke from his nos
trils. The religious editor approached him
In fear and trembling to hold conversation
and ascertain If the edition waa likely to
be printed before the end of the week.
Ah. tho devil waa to pay, my countryman,
and If things went wrong like that very
o'.ten suicide would be a very welcome re
lief, no matter what cams "ever yonder."

PERSECUTION AND PBEXUDICE
These, He Thinks, Are Responsible
for Attempts to Make Corporations
Obey the Law His Interest
is Prosperity,
(Copyright, 1907, by the Cleveland Flajn
Dealer.) CLEVELAND, Aug. 10-John D. Rocke
feller, In discussing the recent speech of
Judge Grosscup, in which the latter de
clared that the wealth of the country was
so widely dlstrlbutedhat it was really In
the hands of the moderately well-to-do
classes, today saldr ,
"They can hardly accuse Judge Grosscup
of partiality to corporations or railroads.
He has shown very well, Indeed, how
Widespread Is the damage resulting from
the persecution through prejudice of the
country's transportation lines. The same
applies to thoughtless attacks on other lines
of Industry. It is worse than thoughtless
to say offhand that the wealth and In
dustries of the country are In the hands of
a few rich men who alone will suffer.
There is a direct loss to thousands of frugal
people who have Invested small savings In
theso enterprises and the indirect effect
reaches still other thousands who depend,
In one way or another, upon the success
of every Industry. The business of the
country is interWoven until It Is something
like the circulation of the blood In tho
body. An Injury or an operation at one
point shocks and weakens the whole."
Interested In Prosperity.
Referring to the financial situation, Mr.
Rockefeller said:
"Who Is more Interested In the material
prosperity of this cotlntry than I im!"
"My eggs are not all In one basket by any
means. A good deal of nonsense Is printed
every now,and then about my having cap
tured all the railroads of the country or
having monopolized this or that. The truth
Is that I figure as an Investor and stock
holder rather than as a proprietor. But
any depression Is likely to mean a. loss of
values to me. The groceryman may not
feel It If the coal business Is bad. or the
wheat grower suffer if the railroads lose,
but the man with wider Interests feels every
phase of depression. I do not mean that I
am In the grocery, or coal,- or wheat busi
ness, but I am using this illusjxat'on. It
Is a fact that hardly any sort of business
can experience dull times without loss to
me. It should be plain, then, that I have
the best right to be anxious for good times
all around. Would I permit, then, any
harm to come to any line of business If I
could help It?"
Harnessed to a Cart.
"I am harnessed to a cart in which the
people ride," continued Mr. Rockcfrl'er.
"Whether I like It or not I must work for
the rest. I cannot evade this respons'bll
lty If I would. But I do not complain of
this. I am willing to draw my share of the
load as long as I am able.
"The flrst step I took," he said, "meant
obliging myself to working-men who hence
forth looked to me for employment and
Investors who put In their money and
looked to me for results. At 'every step
forward the load was heavier. The work
Ingmen numbered a few score flrst, then
a few hundred, then thousands. There was
a similar Increase In the .number of In
vestors who would hold me to account.
While I worked for myself I had to work
for them whether or no. Today, retired
from active business, retired, .hat Is, from
business for . myself, the capital I have
Invested makes work for thousands and
opens opportunities for thousands of others
to place their savings profitably. No man
with money can escape this responsibility
or loosen this yoke from his neck.
Servants, and Not Masters.
"We are servants, and not masters. We
who are or have been engaged In largo
business affairs. It is to our vital interest
that the country prosper, that the people
prosper. That they can destroy us or our
business, ,or at least destroy our power
of serving them. We would probably suffer
the least. The richest man can eat but
three meals a day and It does not tako
a fortune to dress very well Indeed, or to
provide real luxury In living. The men
who have acquired the largest fortunes
have not pursued wealth, but business
success. Had they desired money for the
enjoyment of money they would have
stopped far short of spending their lives,
aa they have, In the struggle that Is busi
ness. The natural ambition of every man
to make good provision for his family can
be satisfied far short of the point reached
by the big men of the industrial world of
today. But they continue to toil at their
desks because they love achievement, for
the keen delight in creating where nothing
was, and some time, I believe, people will
bS convinced that they are tolling for love
of country aa well."
When it comes to the attacks on hlrn
and his nssoclates, Mr. Rockefeller shows
himself the philosopher. He does not pre
tend to like the assaults, nor does ho
pretend to haughty Indifference and he Is
not affectedly flippant In his comments.
But he Is not bitter toward those who
assail him. He says It is a misunder
standing that will right Itself In time.
He frankly regrets it. but he seems even
more distressed at what he considers the
danger of losing a good opportunity to
capture the trade of the world than over
the personal phase of the attacks.
"We are proud of our national sense of
good humor," he remarked.
"If we must have little family Jars
among ourselves, why should we let the
outside world lautrh at our ane;ry face?
Why should wo watite the energy we need
to build up the country In tearing earh
other to pieces? If evils have crept In
during the periods of marvelous develop
ment since the civil war, and H la net
Impossible that some few hsve orept In,
can wo not do away with tliem without
destroying the whole fabric:? Admitting
for the sake of argument, tlmt the busi
ness world is a patient that needs treat
ment, must It be said of the result th.tt
the operation was successful, but the pa
tient died?"
Mr. Rockefeller was asked why he did
not run away from the hue and cry that
pursued him. He laughed.
"Ferhars because my favorite music Is
'Yankee Doodle," " he suggested. Then,
more gravely:
"I suppose I might have converted my
Interests into cold at one time and have
taken my money to England or some pleas
snt part of Europe where life Is organized
to make things comfortable for the man
with money to spend. But, do you know,
that way of escape from the responsibilities
and embarrassments thut wealth brings
to an American never occurred to me. The
United States cannot develop enough draw
backs to make me lose the feeling that
there Is no place like home, and that this
Is home. In what I firmly believe la the
greatest country of the world."

Other, stocks that sold at a new low level
today were the common and preferred

The general stock market waa weak to
day. There was no news to account for
the falling. away of prices-and no excite
ment on the Stock exchange. The des1 re
to sell was not especially urgent, but there
seemed little or no demand for the stocks,
and In order to effect sales brokers were
obliged to accept constantly lower prices.

NORTON AFTER EASY MONEY
Bald to Have Found It Wbsn He Met
a Tflumak Attorney.
TEKAMiAH, Neb., Aug. 10. (Special.)
Sheriff Phlpps of this place arrived here
this afternoon with J. E. Norton, who Is
wanted for swindling Attorney E. D. Pratt.
Last Friday morning a smooth looking
young fellow accompanied by a woman
companion came to this place on the early
morning train and during the forenoon
called on several of the real estate dealers
here, especially the ones who are agents
for western Nebraska and South Dakota
! lands, with an armful of 2,000-mlle mileage
books which he was offering to sell for )T0
under the agreement that the $TO would be
returned to the purchaser In installments
of 110 per month.
After purchasing 50 worth Mr. Pratt
proceeded to look the matter up and found
he had been swindled, but not until Nor
ton had made his get-away. County At
torney Slnghaus and Sheriff Phlpps traced
him to Norfolk and found ho had almost
worked Andrew Sohler at Emerson, B. N.
Haley of Fremont, whom Norton had got
ten for $100, came up with the sheriff and
Norton this afternoon. All trace of the
swindler was lost at Norfolk, but the
police of Omaha succeeded In locating him
there last night.
He waa taken before County Judge Paa- I
ler and hla preliminary hearing waa eet
for August 12.
After leaving lure last week It seems
that Norton went to work for J. J. Derlght
of Omaha selling cafea on commission.
He was out two days and sent In orders
for three safes, which were shipped by Mr.
Derlght and a commission, said to be $100,
was paid to Norton. The consignees of the
safes have since refused to take them and
claim they never purchased them.
Norton claims his true name is Wilson
H. Mentor, and that hla fatner and mother
reside in Sioux City, and that he has
relatives living In Monmouth, 111. A bank
book was found In his satchel showing he
had an account with the Security National
bank of Ploux City, Ia.
Several Nebraska railroads have been
trying to locate him for the last two weeks.
