Nelson Dewey Day.

The annual musical and literary pro-
gram in honor of the Nelson Dewey
school was rendered by members of the
literary society and alumni at the school
building last Wednesday evening. A
very large and enthusiastic audience
enjoyed one Of the best programs ever
given at the school. The room was
tastefully decorated with house plants,
! pictures, flags and draperies, and the
| program contained none of the lengthy
| dlscourses SO common on such oc-
casions. Col. Georges school orchestra
| opened the exercises with one of their
| best selections, after which, on behalf
of the Nelson Dewey literary society
and the pupils of the school, President
r. b. Manwaring, jr., welcomed the
guests in short address, speakin. en-
tertainingly of the advancement of the
school. ID. Clough Gates, of the Nelson
Dewey alumni, responded to the ad-
dress of welcome. Another musical
number by the orchestra was followed
by an original poem by the poet of the
later clearin." Charles S. Coleman,
which was received as are all bis efforts,
with entire satisfaction. Miss Mabel
Tompkins l'93), played a difficult
piano solo and in response to generous
applause rendered very ceptable
encore.
Prof Snow brought down the house
with his recital of An RapoobIekan
konvenshun." Miss Edith Hunter and
John Robertson sang duet very &C
ceptablv. Miss Rio Newton proved her
self young lady Of considerable liter
arv ability in a short character SIX etch OF
lady Macbeth. which was followed by
the recitation of the VOW made by lady
Macbeth VII IN she received the letter
from her husband telling of the posi-
blIities in store for them, this recitation
was rendered by Mis- Emma Hudson,
who certainly possesses considerable
dramatic ability. The next number, a
violin duet by Miss Iva Andrus and her
hight 10 all. The sleep walking scene
from Macbeth was next enacted by Miss
Emma Hudson. Miss Martha Christie,
and Mr.. Edward Manwaring. After
another selection by the orchestra the
program closed by stirring recitation
delivered in the German by Miss Lucy
Shields, who appeared in beautiful
Joan OF Arc costume, a fine tahleau
closed this act, and the program. Prot
Frazier made a happy little speech and
the evenings entertainment was over.
Miss Rio Newton invited the members
OF the senior class to her home after
the exercises, where feast of good
things awaited them, and where they
fingered until very late hour. The
entertainments given by the pupils of
this school have always ranked high,
and to say that they are improving all
the time only indicates that the Young
people are working harder and prepar-
ing better along these lines every year

The little talk given by Mr. Logue
on Alaska. Tuesday evening, was most
enjoyable. Mr. Locue does not pose as
a lecturer, but bis style is very pleas

diary both amusing and instructive. He
gave very condensed account of the
trip from the time he left Superior
about the last Of March 1895, up TO some
time in June when the party reached
It's destination. Judging from an occas-
icnal sentence which somehow seemed

Sickness Indemnity.

The call for sick benefit insurance has
been SO great that the American Mutual
Accident association of Oshkosh has
adopted a policy covering this form of
insurance. A novel feature of this pol
icy is that 1t provides specified amount
Tor each Of the ordinary acute diseases
as enumerated in the policies, and in
this way avoids disputes that are SO
frequent i'll the adjustmant of sick ben
eft claims. This policy, combined as it
is with the best accident contract on
the market, will surely be appreciated.

nrP,sttsa at the Trial.
WAsHryeToN. Nov. 29.-Some sensational
revelations are expected 10 result from the
Of Can't oborlin M. Garter of tho
Engineer Corps Of the army, which will DO or
dered al soon az the draft OF the formal charges
and specifications against the oficer have been
examined at the War Department. The propa-
ration OF the charges was intrusted to Lieut.
Col. q. Davis, Deputy Judge Advocate-aen
oral and professor Of law at the West Point Nil.
itary Academy. They were received from Col
Davis by Secretary AlRsr TO-DAY.
Thi general charge under which Capt. Garter
will DO tried 10 conduct unbocominR an officer
and q gentleman" There are q number Of
specifications. 1t 10 alleged in the formal In
diotment prepared by Col. Davis that Capt.
carter falsihod his records of work on
the Improvement Of Savannah harbor. that
no directed his clerk to mako false
entries concerning his presence at Savannah
while no was absent from, his station. that he
he Ignored the instructions Of the War Depart
msnt In regard to contract work, and that he
loss Of the United States. EmbeEzlement is not
beginning Of the revelations which are ex.
pected, and officials Of the War department
R pre- e. that Congress will institute an inquiry
carrying out river and harbor improvements,
and perhaps other engineering projects. 1t was
said to-day on good authority that tho present
contract system would be fully exploited at tho
Garter trial, with q view to giving Congress an
opportunity of seeing how easily the Govern
mont can be mulcted out Of enormous sums Of
money.
The project which Capt. Carter was directed
to carry out involved an expenditure of 81, 6OO,-
600, 1t was not until two years after its COM
pleuon that the allegations were made that It
had been improperly executed, and this has
given rise to tho suspicion at the War Depart
performed in q manner that would cause
dissatisfaction II Its true condition were
known. Tho high character and profess
slonal standing Of. tho Officers OF tho
Engineer Corps precludes. In the minds Of those
Interested in the Garter case. tho belief that tho
integrity OF any of them will be brought into
question, but there 10 a feeling that the prelim.
mary inquiry into Capt. Carriers operations at
Savannah has shown that much money may
have, been wasted through sharp practices Of
which engineer officers have been ignorant.

KANSAS PACIFIC A L
mr.. Coonbs Thinks the Government VIII Get
the Full Amount or Its Claim.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Tho Hon. w. j.
Coombs Of Brooklyn, . Government director Of
the Union Pacific Railroad, was in consulta-
ton with Attorney General McKenna to-duy
regarding the sale of the Kansas Pacific Rail-
road on Dec. II. MIR. Coomts Is of opinion that
the Government will get nearly II not quito
tho full amount Of its indebtedness against
tho company at the forthcoming sale. Ho
furnished the Attorney General O calculation
based upon the receipts Of the road during tho
four years ended June 80 last, showing that it
was capable Of earning 4 per cent. per an.
mum on $15 900. 900. This included the
worst period OF the depression through which
the amount of stock upon which the calcula-
ton was based Is two millions In excess of the
sum necessary to meet the Government debt.
MT; Coombs said that tho earnings to-day are
the period named. 1t was upon this calcula-
ton that the Acknowledgement decided definite
ly to qualify as a bidder, so as TO be able to
utmost.
Tho expectation that the reorganization
committee, representing the bondholders of the
closure sale has been strengthened BY the dis.
covery that tho bond-aided portion Of the
road, extending 1874 miles west Of Kansas
City, which is all that will be conveyed by the
riior not only to those Of the S4S miles between
the Tooth meridian and Denver, but to those
Of the main line west Of Cheyenne. This, 1t 10
the reorganization COMMITTEES will buy the
ganization that can utilize tho whole line, and

earns all but IL per cent. OF the entire net
