PIONEERS STAGE
INAUGURAL BAIL
Event Given in Omaha Sixty-
Two Tears Ago Reproduced
at Celebration.
AGED PEOPLE ARE PRESENT
HOW SWEET MILK WILL
DISSOLVE WRINKLES
The reproduction of the first inau
gural ball, held in Omaha sixty-two
years ago, was presented Monday
evening on the stage of the Audi
torium, in connection with a program
in commemoration of the fiftieth an
niversary of Nebraska's statehood.
The Douglas County Association of
Nebraska Pioneers gave the program,
which was witnessed by a goodly
gathering of pioneers and their chil
dren. Mrs. Mary Cormack, secretary
of the association, arranged the pro
gram and offered the introductory re
marks. First Ball Described.
The program gave the ' following
commentary on the inaugural ball of
1855: "The first and only executive
ball ever given in Omaha, January.
185S, was in honor of Governor Izard.
It took place in the City hotel, a one
story frame building, on Harney and
Eleventh streets. The floor was
rough and unplaned. Cottonwood
boards served as seats, the walls were
covered with one rough coat of dirty
plaster, and the stove was so inade
quate for heating purposes that the
water which had been used for clean
ing froze to the floor. The refresh
ments consisted of bacon sandwiches,
dried apple pie and black coffee with
brown sugar. The orchestra consisted
of a solitary fiddler. This was Omaha's
first step on the ladder of social aspi
rations." Those Who Cave It Again.
In the inaugural ball reproduction
D. H. Mercer and Mrs, Charles H.
Fisette represented Governor Izard
and lady, respectively. The personnel
of the governor's party were: Mr
and Mrs. W. H. Bay, Henry W. Dunn,
Charles U Hunt and hdward U.
Pomeroy. The dancers were: Rome
Miller. George W. Winship. Alvin
Metzler, James Cruickshank, Moses
P. O'Brien, Augustus Lockner, James
P. Dugdale, Karl Barothy; Mesdames
Ida G. Knight, George W. Winship,
R. M. Taylor, Anna K. Bowman,
Mary J. Griffin, Kittie Lafferty, Jen
nie L. Magmn and Agnes K. Steven
son.
The costumes worn by these dancers
were of the period of sixty and sev
enty years ago. Mrs. Griffin had a
necklace seventy-five years old and a
gown she wore at the first Ak-Sar-
Ben ball. Mrs. Stevenson appeared in
a dress sixty years old and Mrs.
Knight's .dress was seventy-nine years
old.
Aged People Attend.
The only living attendant of the
ball which was reproduced on the Au
ditorium stage is Samuel E. Rogers,
still a resident of Omaha, but unable
to attend the exercises yesterday eve
ning. On the stage was Mrs. S. G.
Brewster of Irvington, who came to
this county in 1855. Her father, the
Rev. Mr. Gaylord, was the. first min
ister of the First Congregational
church of this city. At her side was
Mrs. S. H. Seymour, more than
eighty years of age, and said to be
the hrst school teacher of Omaha.
She taught in the basement of the old
First Congregational church when it
was located at Sixteenth and Farnam
streets. John K. Hazard, who came
here in 1853, also was on the stage
and it is said he is the oldest Ne
braska pioneer now residing in
(Jmaha.
Frank Howell Talks.
Speaking on "Territorial Days,"
Frank S. Howell recounted the his
torical glories of the State and de
clared that Nebraska, in the future
as in the past, will be found in her
place with the sisterhood of states,
fighting in the interests of humanity
and not for conquest. He said that
from the hands of the many peoples
gathered together in this nation is
suspended the destiny of the world.
Moses P. O'Brien, president of the
pioneers' association, gave an address
of welcome, and Matthew Gering
spoke on "The Past and Present ol
Nebraska."
On the musical program were the
Omaha Letter Carriers' band, Harry
Disbrow, Armour Glee club and Mrs.
Roy Flanagan and Mrs. Adeline
Wykoff Kellstrom.
James Gilliland of 3019 Mandcrson
street won spplause when he sang
"Mother Macrea." He is 12 years of
age and a son of J. W. Gilliland.
The band played several patriotic
numbers, the audience responding en
thusiastically at the close when
"America" and "The Star-Spangled
Banner" were given.

Miss Rankin's secretaries, and she

building today. There were no evi
dences of femininity about. Some
book cases, bare of books, walls free
of pictures, just an office room, ex

The young looking secretary said
that details of the room and the deco

who is expected on Wednesday. But

as soon as the Constantinople gov

them, virtually assuring, officials here
believe, that the difficulties placed in
the way of the Americans' transfer

informally that it will interpose no

Three additional villages have
fallen into the hands of the British
and French troops operating against
the Germans between Arras and Sois
sons in France. One village was
taken by the British and two were
captured by the French.
Lagnicourt, six miles northwest of
Bapaume, fell into the hands of the
British, and Folcmbray and La Feuil
lee, in the Bassee-Foret-De Coucy re
gion, at the base of the salient that
has been driven into the German line
at La Fere, now are in the hands of
General Neville's forces.
Gain Near Soissons.
The French also have gained some
additional terrain northeast of Sois
sons, but no important changes in po
sition have occurred in the St. Quen
tin sector, where the Germans appar
ently are stiffening their line. Paris
reports tne dispersal oi uernian as-
..mkl.-.a in rlietrirt hv thi artil-

Trench raming ana Domuing opera
tions continue on the remainder of
the front, although there also have
been violdnt artillery duels on various
sectors, especially east of Dixmudc
and Steenstraete in Belgium.
Much Aerial Activity.
Considerable aerial activity is still
in progress between the British and
Germans. London reports the forc
ing down by British airmen of fiva
German airplanes east of Neuville St.
Vaast and Armentieres, but says that
seven British machines have failed to
return to their bases.
The Germans, who are reported in
force on the north Russian front, are
again becoming active. South of
Dvinsk, in the region of Postavy,
after having loosed gas waves against
the Russians, the Germans essayed an
advance, but, according to Petro
grad, they were repulsed.
East ot Baranovitchi another Teu
ton attack was put down by the Rus
sian artillery fire. The Russian war
minister has arrived in Riga, probably
to consider the situation created by
the arrival of German reinforcements.
Still another crossing of the Per
sian frontier into Turkey has been ef
fected by the Russians, who have en
tered the vilayet of Mosul, through
which flows the Tigris river, along
which the British are still in pursuit
of the Turks retreating from Bagdad.
To the southeast, on the Turco-Per-sian
frontier, near Khanikan, the
Russians have captured the Turkish
fortifications at Kalaichahin, thereby
placing a further menace in the way
of the Turks making their way up the
Uiaia river Deiore me ormsii.

The German field marshal, Von

Can Use Americans
In Trenches, Says
Soldier From There
Shot twice, once almost fatally,
squirted with liquid fire and almost
suffocated a number of times by
poison gas fumes, Armand Patereau,
30, an American and a corporal in
the foreign legion, dropped off in
Omaha several hours Monday even
ing. He was on his way to Portland,
Ore., from a fortress near Verdun.
The corporal was attired in the
French uniform. He displayed sev
eral medals which he had won, one a
bronze affair, which he had been
awarded for participating in a battle
of eight days duration. During that
time his detachment was cut off from
the regular body.
"Soldiers of the foreign legion are
treated a little better than those of
France," the corporal said. "For one
thing, they give us bacon in the morn
ing and the pay is a little better."
Patereau gave the Germans credit
for having a remarkably well drilled
army. "Their soldiers are bigger, but
they aren't a bit better than the
French."
"At Verdun we took back in three
days all they had captured in three
months," he said.
"How does it feel to be squirted
with liquid fire?" he was asked. "It's
just awful. Your clothes catch on
fire before you can pull them off. We
had orders not to help our own men
when they were squirted with the li
quid because sometimes the men that
tried to help were burned is bad as
those in the first case."

An Effective Laxative
For Growing Children
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Highly Recommended as
a Family Remedy
In children the slightest irregular
ity of the bowels has a tendency to
disturb the entire digestve system,
and unless promptly remedied invites
serious illness. The experienced
mother knows that by trainng her
children to regularity in this respect,
and when occasion arises administer
ing a mild laxative, she will have lit
tle need for a doctor's services.
Mrs. Leo Weigand, 3251 Central
Ave., N. S., Pittsburg, Pa., whose
two boys, Frank and Joseph, are
shown in the illustration, writes that
she has found Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin a most effective laxative, not
only for the children but also for her
self, and that she will always keep it
in the house to use when needed.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that acts easily and natur
ally, without griping or other pain or
discomfort. It is pleasant to the taste
so that children like it, and is equally
effective on the strongest constitu
tion.
ill l c
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can b
obtained at any drug store for fifty
cents, and should have a place, 'in
every home. It will save ir.any times
its cost in lessened doctor bills and
maintain the health of the entire fam
ily. To avoid imitations and inef
fective substitutes be sure to get Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See that a
facsimile of Dr. Caldwell's signature
and his portrait appear on the yellow
carton in which the bottle is packed.
A trial bottle, free of charge, can be
obtained by writing to Dr, W. B.
