of the act of congress, passed May 27.
1S. These officers 'are lieutenant Colonel
W. Kdmund Baehr, first Infnntry; Cap
tain H. F. Elsasser and Captain Otto Hass
man, who are all of Omaha, and First
Lieutenant DaJa F. McDonald of York.
These three officers, like Colonel Baehr.
hold their commissions In the First infan
try. The order received by these officers
comes through the office of Adjutant Gen
eral Hartlgan and la Issued by the secre
tary of war and signed by "Leonard Wood,
Major Ocneral, Chief of Staff."
The Omahans will travel dally to Fort
Crook and back and spend several hours at
the garrison, attending lectures and reci
tations In charge of regular army officers.
Fellow-students with them thera will be
lieutenants of the Fourth infantry, U. S. A.
The Nebraska National Guard officers
and man have unalmously Indorsed a bill

lative committee of the National Guard
association of ,th United State at Ft.
Louis recently, and then ordered printed

Three thousand game fish, ranging from
t to 1? months old were turned Inti Carter
lake Friday by W. J. O'Brien, superintend
ent of the state fish hatcheries nir C.retna.
Neb., and deputy state fish cotninlsBloner.
The Krister port of thfc fi"n brought up
for the use of Omaha fishermen next sum
mer are Mark bass of various elses. al
though there are also rock buss, perch,
channel catfish and blue gill sunflsli. The
fish were brought up In a special tar that
Mr. O'Brien uses for transporting his finny
charges from flretna early Friday morning,
and before evening the 1.000 fish were gaily
swimming In Carter lake.
The method of transporting Is to place
the fish In six-gallon rans at the maUhery,
carry them by wagon u the car on the
Burlington tracks at Gretna 'and place them
in special tanks provided there! In Omaha
a wagon In used to take them to the lake
and not a one of the f'sh but was In the
finest condition when the destination was
reached.
It is a rule of the state fish commissioner
to try and place a carload of fish each year
in Carter hike, but last year there were
two carloads pi seed In the lake because of
a surplus of fish In the hatchery. With
those placed last year and these new ones
the lake will be well stocked. During the
last season the fishing for baas has been
the best for years.
Governor Shallanberger, who was In
Omaha for a few minutes between trains
on his way from Plattsmouth to IJncoln,
stopped to InRpeot the cur of fish and was
gieatly p. eased with them. The governor
who is the head of the flsli commission In
Nebraska. Is always Interested In tbe work
and watches the progress cloeely.
"We have had a very successful year
with the fish for the last twelve months
and next summer the work will begin to
show up." said Mr. O'Brien. "Now Is the
best shipping time for the fish and we will
be placing them In the lakes In the state
for some time yet. The bass seem to do
well In Carter lake, growing fast there
from all reports."
Mr. O'Brien admitted that with all his
knowledge of fish and their habits, which
he has pained by twenty-seven years work,
he still cannot tell when Is the best time to
catch a f!h end what kind of bait each
fish will take. "They're curious creatures
when It comes to catching them," was his
ultimatum.

MAY CARRY SIX NAMES
Matter la 84111 la Uoikl as W hether

be re Names.
Bonn uncertainty prevails among the
members of the Omaha. Grain exchange
whether three or six names will be upon
the official ballot for election of three mem
bers of the board of directors. Whether
three or six do appsar may settle the ques
tion of a unanimous or a split vote.
8omo members believing that only the
names of Sherman Saunders' W. J. Hynes
and J. Vt. Kuiiuijuist will appear, say the
election of these three will be practically
unanimous. Others declare that the three
members of the board whose terms are ex
piring, Messrs. Reed, Bruce snd Sitiltlu
are candidates fer re-election through old
custom of the exchange, which makes such
members of the directorate candidates.
Tha first three men named above are
officially nominated as the result of the
caucus held last week. If their names only
are on the ballot, the election will be but
a matter of form and ratification of the
caucus vote. If the other three names
also appear, opportunity for a contest Is
at hand, although the statement is still
correct that the big line interests are not
actively seeking proxies.
President F. 8. Cow gill of the exchange
asserted Friday that be thought the ballot
would contain six namea. One of his
closest friends expressed the opinion that
I It wouid have but three. The secretary
