n. ID. Ill. and Swedish Singing Socie-
TIES Celebrate in that City.
Despite the many attractions of the parks
and other pleasure grounds surrounding the
city, a large number of Omaha people
sought pleasure abroad. Fully 900 people
took advantage of the cheap railroad rates
afforded by the Ancient Order of Hibernians
and Swedish Oratorio society excursions to
Fremont yesterday. The Ancient Order of
Hlbernian excursion reached Fremont about
IL O'Clock. A delegation of citizens, headed
by j. G.. Cleland, president of the Board of
Trade, and Attorney George w. LOOMS met
the eXcursionists at the depot and after
short welcoming speeches the visitors headed
by the band marched through the main
streets to the city park. The column was
considerably augmented by a number of
local societies, who turned out with the
Dorsey Hose Company band.
At the park the sightseers broke ranks
and distributed themselves pretty thoroughly
all over the city. The first event scheduled
to take place was the competitive runs be-
tween the six hose companies of the city
known as the J. c.. Cleland, w. G.. Mercer,
Mechanics, Frontier, Hooks, Manufacturer
and the Dorsey companies. The first prize
of $40 was awarded to the Cleland company,
with $40 to the Mercer as second best and
80 to the Dorsey company.
An adjournment was then taken to the
park and a number Of athletic contests fol-
lowed. The prize winners were: In the
running broad jump, Mike Gardner; heavy
weight throwing, Frank Behan; long dis
lance jumping, Walter Price. In the women's
egg race Miss Kate Mccarthy carried off the
honors. A large platform was provided IN
the park for dancing and the judges awarded
the prizes for the most graceful dancers to
John Mulick and Miss Maggie Fitzpatrick of
Omaha.
The coaches carrying the Swedish excur-
sionists were attached to the regular west
bound early train of the Union Pacific and
upon arriving in Fremont the members were
provided with carryalls and Immediately ad-
journed to the Chautauqua grounds. a short
distance north Of the city, where a most in
terestlng musical program was carried out.
During the afternoon a parade in costume
was given through the main streets of the
city by the members of the Oratorio society,
Norden Singing society and the Swedish
Women's chorus.
In the evening another musical program
was rendered at Loves opera house. which
attracted a large audience, The Swedish ex-
cursionists returned to this city with the
Ancient order of Hibernian party.

Beware

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years I have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts

reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me TO submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical no.

Bait-casting, when skillfully practiced, is

a bait with a short rod and multiplying

the seeker after outing pleasure and pastime.
The methods employed in this art are very
simple, and easily mastered, providing it is
practiced with an outfit especially designed
for the purpose, as it brings the angler al
most immediate reward, while, on the other
hand, they become very annoying, perplex-

between 2 and 2 o'clock the body
of John A. Bolt, prosperous farm
er and prominent citizen who lived
a mile from here, was found in his
house. Mr.. Bolt had been shot
through the head with a single bar
relied shot gun, which was found
on his body. He was on a trundle
bed, used for the children, on his
back, his feet resting on the floor.
The shoe and sock had been taken
from his right foot and the gun was
lying between his legs.
Nobody was in the house when
the shot was fred. Mrs. Bolt and
the younger children had gone to
spend the day with a"neighbor.

Mr.. Bolt had set a trap in his
back yard for a hawk. The win
dow of the room in which he was
found looks on the yard where the
trap was. Mrs. Bolt does not be-

hurt him, he having frequently

being only thirty-six years old, his
family relations were of the hap
