THE KNIGHTS DRILL.
Omaha Division Wins the Tourna-
ment by Three Points.

Omaha Division Wins the Tourna-
ment by Three Points.
The competitive drill, announced to take
place atthe ball ground Wednesday afternoon
at 4 O'Clock, between Omaha division No. II
aud Black Eagle division No. II, Uniform
Rank, knights of Pythias, was witnessed by
about two hundred friends of the competing
companies. The drill was over an hour late
in beginning, owing to the fact that the
judges were engaged in the memorial exer-
cises. Each division appeared in the drill
with sixteen men. Black Eagle lost the toss
and drilled first. They were commanded by
Captain Crap and Lieutenants Ware an
Merriam. Mr.. d. T.. Corte and T. e. Wood
were the right and left guides. Omaha di-
vision was commanded by Captain Hayward
and Li%eutenants Plasner and Horning. Sir
Knights DAVIS and II. w. Miller acted as
right and left guides. Forty-siX
movements were executed in all by each COM
pany and they were so nearly matched in
their work that even the Judges themselves
could not but wonder at the closenesS of the
score. The score was made on the scale of
10, and footed up 9S3 points for the Omaha
division, while Black Eagle division had $50
points to their credit. The Members of
Black Eagle division feel that the defeat is a
very slight one as yesterday was the first
time they had ever drilled out doors, while
their competitors were comparatively old
men on the ground. The judges on the occa-
sion were Adiutant Kiu2ie and Lieutenant
Wright of the Second infantry, and Colonel
Hotchkiss of the governors staff. Seven
other members of the governors staff as
well as the regimental aud division officers of
the competing companies were present TO
witness the drill.

ART IN OMAHA.
Preliminary Steps Taken For Forming
nm Association.

The call for a meeting to form an'art asso-
citation drew a dozen interested persons to
Meyers music hall yesterday afternoon.
George w. Lininger was asked to preside
and gave an informal talk, heartily favoring
the project and giving some account of his
experiences and observations among artists
abroad. In the course of his remarks MIR.
LIninger said he intended that Omaha should
have IA picture gallery some of these days
with an art union in connection with it. He
volunteered the freedom of his private gal
lery to the members of the proposed associa-
ton, and generously promised art teachers
permission 10 bring their pupils with them.
After a general discussion a committee was
appointed TO make a personal canvass Of all
the artists of the city and urge them 10 be
present at another meeting and join in form
ing the organization. The committee is COM
posed of Mr.. g. ID. Kent, Misses Mumaugh,
Willmasser, Murray and Rueder, who are
empowered TO call the adjourned meeting.

CHICAGO among its other woes is just
now passing through u crisis in which
the saloon question plays a prominent
part. The respectable people of that
city aided by the newspapers, are arrayed
against the saloon element, the alder
men and the politicians. A resolution
was passed by the aldermen permitting
saloons to be u IN close proximity to
school houses and churches. Thisaction
has aroused the Indignation of the
church people, who are pleading with
Mayor Roche to veto the obnoxious
ordinance. But the mayor is between
the devil and the deep sea. If he
ignores the appeal he is derelict in his
duty, but if he vetoes the ordinance he
imperils his chances for r~e-electlon.
This would be an opportune time for
the mayor to go a-tishing.

THE laying of the last rail in the
Northern Pacific railroad tunnel
through the Cascade mountains in
Washington territory completes one of
the greatest engineering feats of the
present day. The tunnel itself was fin
ished a few weeks ago after two years
work. Next to the Hoosac tunnel it is
the longest tunnel in the United States,
being almost two miles in length. The
tunnel Is of i~ncalculable value to the
people of Oregon and Washington ter
ritory, us it facilitates that intercourse
which heretofore has been conducted
with great difficulty.

the benefits are clearly shown, it will
become a comparatively easy matter to
secure a permanent market house, with

of this will mark the beginning of a

IT is n matter of great moment to
northern Nebraska that the Illinois
Central has already taken initiatory steps
toward extending its system through
the tier of counties from Dakota to
Sioux. Articles of incorporation were
filed a day or two ago with the secretary
Of state at Lincoln for such a road, TO be
called the Nebraska & Western. AS
the Illinois Central has its western
terminus at Sioux City there is but
little doubt that the proposed line is to
be built under the patronage of that
road. 1t is OF course impossible to say
when actual building operations will
begin, but the indications point very
strongly that the work will be pushed
through at an early day. There is a
rivalry between the Santa Fe, which is
coming into Nebraska from Kansas, and
the Illinois Central as to which road
shall reach the Black Hills first. AS
yet the Santa Fe has not definitely out
lined its policy, but it cannot fold its
hands while the Illinois Central is push
ing ahead to outstrip IT'S rival in the
race.

Mr.. DEPEw is in q position to make
the republican party some trouble, and
if he is really so concerned for its future
Is he processes to be he will take him
self out of that position before he goes
to the national convention. There is no
doubt he would like the presidential
nomination, but he says he would not
accept it if he should be of the opinion
that his candidacy would lose the party
votes. We unqualifiedly assure MI.
Depew that it would lose the party hun
dreds of thousands of votes and several
now sure republican states. If that is
not his opinion now, and evidently it is
not, no effort should be spared to cor
vince him, if that be possible, before he
goes to Chicago. He claims that
Blaine would have had four hundred
and six votes in the convention.
Does Mr.. Depew hope to capture these
votes, or will he attempt to do so? His
nomination would be fatal to the repub-
lican party, perhaps a death blow, and
while we can not suppose the represent
atives of the party capable OF commit
ting so grave a blunder, it would be
r~eassuring to know that Mr.. Depew's
opinion had taken the right direction
in advance of the convention. If he
will do himself the honor to consult the
views of western and northwestern dele
gates who do not wear the collar of the
railroad corporations he will have no
trouble in reaching the conclusion that
of all men possible his nomination
would be most disastrous to the republi-
can party.
