There was no other means of rapid transit
across ths continent st these times and
communication was equally delayed and
uncertain, but for the gallantry and brav

The long trail wss a dangerous one as
well ss a lonely one. During the Mormon
expedition under General Albert Sidney
Jornson, In 1857, these couriers and express
riders were availed of for earning Impor
tant military dispatches.
The Bee was ahown a letter, yellow with
age, only a day or two since, a relic of
that expedition, signed by Captain FKs
John Porter, the assistant adjutant general
to General A. 8. Johnson, which reads as
follows:
HEADQt'ARTERS ARMY OF I'TAH,
THREE CR0SSINO8 OF 6WEUTWA TER.
Oct. U, 17. Sir: The colonel commanding
directs that you cause the bearer ot thia
to bo paid a reasonable sum as expressman,
and that the accompanying letter to the

the army, be sent forward ss speedily as
possible. I am. sir, very respectfully, your

This is probably the first official recog
nition of this class of riders as express
riders. '
Orsaalsed la the OO's.
It was not until some time In 1862 or 1661
that these couriers were organised Into a
corps as an adjunct to the Ben HolHday
Overt ind Stage Une'.' Their particular" duty
was to carry smalt express packages and
letters. ' The corps consisted of eighty
riders and the line extended from Downle
ville,' Cal.. to St. Joseph. Ma. They rode
In relays, the single trip being approxi
mately 2BQ miles, which wss supposed to
be covered In less than thirty hours. The
riders had fresh mounts at each station,
that sere alwaya ready and aaddied for
them about every thirty-five or forty miles.
The riders usually rode unarmed, with light
Jockey ssddles, their packages being car
ried in very light saddlebags. The rate was
$5 per ounce or (5 per letter or dispatch
and no one rider was permitted to carry
mors than thirty pounds to the horse.
Eveat to Stage Passenger.
The passing of aa express rider was sl
ways an event to the stage passengers.
The stage drivers knew about when the
pony express riders would pass them night
or day and the atage invariably stopped
to give the rider a cheer as he passed.
They generally rode at a full gallop and
were seen but a moment and were soon
loat in the distant dust.
" Seldom were the pony express riders in
terfered with by the Indiana, though it
did occasionally happen that they .were
waylaid by "road agents," who shot them
lesvlng the poor fellows to rot where they
fell.
With the advent of' the Union Pacific
railroad in lbs? the pony express rider went
out of existence. In fact they pretty nearly
were a thing of the past in 1W4, as with
the protection to the telegraph lines by
the troops of the regulsr army, there was
but little use for the intrepid riders except

The South Omaha police arrested J. M.
Shelley Saturday on the complaint of
Mrs. Gorman, who cliarged him with
drugging a young girl In his employ.
Mm. Gorman came to the polics station
greatly agitated over the alleged crime.
The officers arrested both the man und
the girl. The girl said they hod shared
a bottle of beer together, but ahe had
every appearance of be Ins Intoxicated
and hardly accountable. No further
crime Is thought to be chargeable, but
the police will make a thorough investi
gation of the case in other lines. Shel
ley arrived In South' Omaha Friday even
ing and yesterday opened a small display
of ahlrts and overalls at 2t:o N atreet.
The girl was hired as a clerk. During the
afternoon he bought her a bottle of beer,
aa he admitted. The particular thing
about hla case waa the fact that tiie
police found pawn tickets aggregating
11,574 M. All of this money waa se
cured on diamonds. Some of them were
good enough to bring 1600 on a loan.
Several were pawned In New York nd
others in Kansas City. The man had let
ters showing that he had been in Musko
gee until January 12. The man a' so car
ried a watch bearing the inscription
'Kannie. From Papa" For these rea
sons the police are going to make a
thorough investigation ef the caw. N.
D. Mann ft Sons, of whom he rented, said
the man Lad been In South Omaha last
summer conducting a similar businoes.
The mother and brothers of the young
woman cams to the jail during the even
ing, where a mtxup occurred, In which
the accused man came out second best.
The fidelity of tlia girl, who mas sup
posed to be wronged, waa the striking
thing about the whole incident. She was
porsuaded to go home with difficulty.
Hhe was only 17 years old, according to
her mother a statement, and her case may

sore arms and cannot make aa good apeed.
In apeaking or tha smallpox situation the
doctor advanced a new theory as to the
origin of the dlsesse. which is aa in
genloua as unique. Us said: "You sill
notice that we have had three years in
which smallpox hss prevailed wtthln the
last ten. In every one of these cases the
disease has followed ths return of a regi
ment of soldiers from the Philippine
Islands. Now there are no rases of small
pox at the fort, but It Is ray theory thst
they brought t he Infection In their blankets
and clothing front the islanda. where small
pox in a mill form is continually preva
lent. Tba reason the soldiers are free.
take It, Is because they, on entering the
service, are all vaccinated, aad are nearly
ail Immune. Tha name condition I find
bare aaaong tbe Austrian a and Greeka.
They are asmelty snoot "wneanttary, but
taey are tmmuoa, because the quarantine
regulations of the ports of immigration
require a thorough vaccination before en
tering. I think my theory Is a good one,
but other doctors may differ."
The smallpox situation is much improved,
with the continued mildness of the weather.
Msny cases of quarantine have been
raised. .

N. W. Riley and F. W. Boechen of the Six
teenth Vnlted State Infantry, were arthe
annual feed of the Omaha club Saturday
night, but left early to attend the regular
monthly moonlight meeting of the Six
teenth regiment. That regiment waa or
ganized In 1789, and it has no happened
that during all theae years all the tirary
engagements tn which this regiment has
participated have been on a moonlight
night. As a mark of respect for the dead
the officers have formed the caatom of
meeting at each full moon, and. after a
social evening, toasting the dead. The
Idea was originated in the Philippines
while the regiment wss at Novatlches la
the province of Regal, and ths officers
have met at Nagasaki, Yokohama, Hono

time.
