The west today did honor to the memory of Colonel William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill). From the moment the body of the scout and hunter was brought into the state capitol building to lie in state until it rested in the vault of an under taker to await final burial on the sum mit of Lookout mountain all honors were accorded to the dead plainsman. Two state governors, a lieutenant governor, officials and legislators from three states, the United States army, fraternal organizations of which lie was an honored member, former cow boys, the Grand Army of the Repub lic and men, women and children thousands of the latter paid tribute to the illustrious son of the prairies. Most Picturesque Figure. "Colonel Cody was the most pic turesque figure in American history," declared John W. Springer, Denver millionaire banker, friend of Colonel Cody, delivering the eulogy of the F.Iks' services. "His achievements were household words throughout the land. He was truly the Amerrean home-builder, blazing the trail to the virgin west." ColoncJ Cody's body was brought into the state capitol building at 9:50 o'clock this morning. It lay beneath the dome of the capitol, from the flag pole of which the Stars and Stripes floated at half mast. Troopers from Fort Logan formed lines throtfgh which the people passed. When the bjg doors of the building were thrown open the crowd poured in. There were hundreds of boys and girls in the" throng. Crowd Still Coming. At 12 o'clock, the hour set fbr the closing of the casket, the crowd still was coming. The public was held back while tlie family, bade the colonel farewell. . In the family party was "Johnny" Baker of New Rocbelle, N. Y.,-who was with Colonel Cody in his wild west enter prises for many years, ' ' V" Following the family a delegation of Palestine Commanderjr No. 13, Knights Templar, from North Platte, Neb., passed the bier. Afterwards marched a delegation of former cow boys. "Good-bye, old pard," "Good bye, Bill," were some of their greet ings. ' The guard of honor at the casket in cluded delegations from the Colorado National Guard, the Pioneer society, the F.lks and the Grand Army of the Republic. One member of the de-J lailliuciil iruiu uic Mai Mdiucu oidm- zation came across the plains with Colonel Cody. He was David Rankin of Denver. The public again. was' admitted at 12:10 o'clock for twenty minutes. A line extending more than a block chivered in the cold wind, waiting for a chance to enter. Twenty-five thou sand persons passed by the casket, according to an estimated count. "Step Lively, Please." And singularly, with it all, the ways of the circus and the show ring were present to the last. "Step lively, please; big crowd be 'und," cried the master of ceremonies. "The circus was in to the end," said n old-time showman. Colonel Cody lay in a huge bronze casket, dressed in a frock coat and with badges of the Legion of Honor (Continued on Tage Two, Column Throe,) Benefit for Workingmen's Home at the Auditorium The benefit which is to be given lext Tuesday evening for Father Flanagan's working men's home promises to be one of the largest and most successful ever given in the city.

Scores of Elks,, their friends and acquaintances crowded into the lodge rooms for the services. There were many who knew the great scout, knew him personally, took rank among his closest friends. There were others who were just casual ac quaintances, had merely met him. And there were still others who had never known him, had never shaken him by the hand, perhaps had never seen him. But with one accord they listened, si lently and attentively, to the glowing tributes paid the famous plainsman. The open lodge of sorrow was held simultaneously with the funeral serv ices at Denver, which also were held under the direction of the Elks. McCune Cannot Talk. Colonel William McCune, himself a prominent figure in the interesting life elf the early frontier, had been asked to tell some rcminiscenses of his experiences with Colonel Xody. Mr. McCune, who was prevented from attending the funeral by an accident a week ago, traveled over 300.000 miles with Buffalo Bill in the United States and Europe, and clijoyed the full confidence of the great scout. Colonel McCune attended the me morial, but he was so visably affected he was unable to speak and a brief account of his association with Colo nel Cody was read by Dan Butler. Andrew M. Morrissey, chief justice of the Nebraska supreme court, de livered the eulogy on Colonel Cody. In glowing terms he extolled the deeds of the great scout. He told how Buffalo Bill was known from Missis sippi to Pacific ill the wildest, most murderous days of the most lawless and savage territory this continent ever knew, as a super-plainsman, a precocious trail-driver, a scout of fear less heart, a hand-to-hand duelist, an uncanny shot and a fighter against any odds for a just cause. In equally glowing terms he praised the man for the man he was, pure of heart, true of character, fearless, courageous, . al ways willing, never slacking and a disciple of the good and the right. Mayor Dahlman Speaks. Rev. T. J. Mackay, a personal friend of Colonel Codv's, Was also to have made an address, but was unable to on account of a sore throat. F. Pratt Harood, exalted ruler of the lodge, read the Elks' eulogy from the ritual, and- Mayor Dahlman also spoke. John A. McCreafy, the lodge organ ist, gave two solos, one of which was "Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp Ground, ' Colonel Cody's favorite se lection. HenrV Cox and the Omaha Chamber Music society and a quartet from Millie Ryan's studio gave other musical numbers. Japanese Cruiser v Destroyed; Ahove 100 Dead or Injured Tokio, Jan. 14.

REMAINS WITH SERVICE Farewells Are Said by the Boys at Fort Crook Prior to Being Mustered Out. ONLY WORDS OF PRAISE The speech of Colonel George Ehcr ly yesterday was perhaps the last he will deliver to the Fourth Nebraska regiment, of which he is commanding officer, as he will resign in a short time. He will not, however, give up the service for good, as he is to have a position on the army reserve. Life on the border, with its monoto nous and occasional pleasant times, was again gone over by officers of the Fourth Nebraska regiment at Fqrt Crook in farewell addresses to the soldiers Sunday afternoon. Colonel Eberly, commanding officer of the regiment, which will be mus tered out of the federal service today and restored to its former National Guard standing, was the first speaker. He thanked the men and officers for their cooperation and asserted that through their efforts the Fourth regi ment had made a name for itself sec ond to none on the netire border.- He read a number of letters from com manding officers, one in particular from the secretary of war, in which the Fourth regiment was given credit for being one of the most effective and mannerly units in the border patrol. Thanks for the flag. Talking to the men, the colonel said, "You are better fitted in every sence of the word to again take up the' positions which you left at the president's call. There is only one thing which I wish to add .and for which we all feel sorry and that is the loss of one of our men whose life was lost through accident. He was one we all respected and honored." The man referred to was Private Stringer of Clarks, who was drowned while swimming, during the second week after the regiment arrived at Llano Grande. ( On behalf of the regiment. Colonel Eberly thanked the women of Ne braska for the flag which it had re ceived. v ' ' Lieutenant Colonel Bachr, second in command of the regiment and who will probably be elected to succeed Colonel Eberly, thanked the men, saying, "I have no doubt but that you will always remain faithful to ' the pledge and oath" that you have taken to protect your country." It took Major Elsasser of the First battalion just six words to say his farewell speech. He said, "Good bunch of boys, good luck." Major Johnson of the Second bat talion said that "If it is ever my lot to sereve my country, I want to serve with the Fourth Nebraska." Times Down on the Border. "Times as they were down on the border with a number of numerous incidents was the address of Major Douglas of the Third battalion. Others who spoke were Captain Poucher, former chaplain of the regi ment and Ralph Yeoman, the latter, in behalf of the Young Men's Chris tian association, for the work that in stitution did among the men on the border. "As a direct representative of the governor, I am glad to accept you back in the National Guard," said Adjutant General Hall. "I am glad of your work and the entire state of Nebraska is proud Of the showing you made." The adjutant general said that his department had established a new branch and would be glad to help any of the men who found it hard to se cure work.

To give up his commission of first lieutenant in the Nebraska National Guard to become a private in the Canadian army. That's what Lieu tenant Oscar L. Keating, Comanrjy B of Omaha will do as soon as he can sever his connection with the Ne braska Guard. "Love of the army game and de sire for adventure is the reason as cribed by the lieutenant for giving up his present position. "Of course, I would be glad to se cure a commission in the Candian army," the officer said, "bu I am go ing to enlist regardless of whether 1 escure one or not." Lieutenant Keating has been con nected with the National Guard or. ganizations for nine years, rising in the ranks from a private. Previous to being assigned to the Omaha com pany, he was second lieutenant of B company in the Fourth South Dakota regiment. He was commissioned first lieutenant soon after in Company C of the same regiment at Highmore, S. D.

The United States protected cruiser Milwaukee, which went ashore on Samoa beach near, here, early yesterday, while try ing to putl0ff fhe stranded submarine H-3, cannot be refloated, it was an nounced here today by J. D. Fraser, expert mechanical engineer, who at the solicitation of Lieutenant W. F. Newton, in command, today made a survey of the cruiser. Fraser, using candles to light the way, and accompanied by Lieutenant Newton and members of his staff, made a thorough examination of the vessel and upon his return to shore stated that there was no chance of floating the ship. He said the stanch ions had begun to give way, which would indicate that the vessel soon would go to pieces. Heavy weather during the next few days means the doom of the cruiser, Fraser told the ship's officers. It was said that a temporary pier would be built out fo the Milwaukee and that ordnance, machinery and all other movables would be striped from the cruiser as quickly as possible. Work of salvaging the submarine was turned over today to a private concern at a contract price of $18,000. Two More Hotels To Be Constructed In the Capital City (From a Staff CorreBponant.l Lincoln, Jan. 14. (Special.) Ne braska's capital city bids fair to see an era in hotel building with the open ing of spring which will make it one of the best "hoteled" capital cites in the west, if the plans now started materialize, and indications point that they will. The latest is the "Crown" hotel, which-will be a twelve-story affair with 530 sleeping rooms and will be run on the $1 a day plan. It is the idea of the company building the hotel to have elaborate lobby and parlors, but the sleeping rooms will be of a more simple construction. The rooms will be clean and convenient to bath, but not elaborate in furnishing. The hotel will cost around $800,000 and will be located one block nortl of O street on Fourteenth. The second hotel will be about the same size, but with the most modern conveniences, and will cost something more than $1,000,000. It will be two blocks south of the Crown hotel and will be located one block from O street south on Fourteenth street. This will make Secretary Whitten's "new sky line every morning" look like a real slogan. Odd Fellows Will Meet Grand Sire at North Platte North Platte. Neb., Jan. 14. (Spe cial.)

SOLOMON TO THE RESCUE This is a talc that is told of the roiinlvi treanrir' nffirp Tr o .. moral, too, if you look close enough. It isn't told very loudly, nor by anybody in particular. It is just told, and not a great many people who haven't been around the courthouse since the democrats took over the of fices grabbed at the last election have heard it. Those who have heard just laugh. Last November great rejoicing was indulged in in the camps of the local democracy. The uu terrified had dc feated Emmet Solomon, had elected M. L, Emlres, and all the glory and ' emoluments and other things that go with the joint offices of county, city, school district and water district treasurer were to pass into the hands of the democrats. Many republicans would be loosened from the payroll and deserving democrats would get the jobs. It was so nice. Endres Takei Over Big Job. So time went on, and Bre'r Endres made all his plans to take over the quadruple exchequer, and held many consultations with the bosses of the party, and an office force was chosen and all was set for the grand cleaning in the county treasurer's office. ; It came off on schedule time. "Bill" Ure was ready at the tick of the clock, and for three days busi ness was suspended in the office, while the outgoing treasurer counted out the cash and displayed the bonds and other valuable assets and adjuncts of the place; taught his successor the mysteries of the time locks, and which safes held the various funds, and all the other written and unwritten work of the office.

And the democrats felt sorry to see so valuable servants depart from the public's employment, but their grief was assuaged by the thought that good followers of Mayor Jim and other brands of democracy as it is nracticed in Omaha wnuM get the jobs. This, too, was so nice. -Fresh Crew on the Job. ' With nice fresh pens, and nice cleam blotters, and inkwells filled to the muzzle, the new gang set to work when the whistle blew, and toiled during the scheduled hours of labor, which are eight per diem. They made many figures and filled out many blank lines, and did other things such as is expected of an accountant, while the new county treasurer looked on. and enjoyed the spectacle and his satisfaction at having been elected grew with each passing moment.
