MORE MEN FOR THE THIRD
Three Additional Companies Arrive AT
Fort Omuhn-Ed II. Smith is
Agnin Rejected.

A few days more and Colonel Bryans
whole regiment of twelve companies Will be
encamped at Fort Omaha. Yesterday
brought in three additional companies
company X of Hastings, company f of Blair
and company II of Stromsburg. Companies
II and + arrived in the morning and COM
pany X arrived late in the afternoon. Seven
companies in all are quartered at the fort
now and the remaining five companies will
arrive before Saturday.
The work of examining the recruits has
been progressing rapidly, but 1t Will prob
ably be a week before all OF the men have
nassed the examination. Companies G, l.
and G have been examined so far and the
companies are found to vary greatly in the
number of men who are rejected because OF
physical mperfections. In company l. OF
Indianola about 33 per cent of the men were
rejected, Lieutenant West being among the
men who failed to pass. In company q nos
to exceed 10 per cent OF the men were
thrown out and in company C of Omaha
about 20 per cent failed to pass, Captain Ed
p. Smith of company C took the examination
| again yesterday and was thrown out, the
physicians declaring that it was absolutely
impossible to pass him.
Until the examinations are completed little
effective work in the way of drilling can
be accomplished because of the uncertainty
which exists in the companies as to what
men will be passed and the anxiety that Is
manifested. Meantime the men are playing
ball along the shady avenues and amusing
themselves as best they can. A few men in
citizens clothes patrol the grounds and are
being initiated into the mysteries of guard
duty.
Colonel Bryan spends most of his time at
the fort and is gaining quite a wide acquain>
lance among the volunteers, No repairs
have heen made on the building used as
headquarters and 1t Is rather a sorry look
ing place. Most OF the glass in the east side
of the building was broken out by the hail
some time ago and boards and cloth have
been nailed over the windows, giving them
a poverty stricken appearance.
The hay crop has been cut from the
parade ground, men are making way with
the tall weeds which lined the streets and
in a few more weeks the old fort will lool
as well as it ever did, with the exception
of a few OF the buildings which show neg
lect. Careful housekeeping has put the ole
barracks into pretty good condition and tn
companies are all very comfortably located

MAN FOUND WITH THROAT CUT
Asserts it Was Done by II Colored
Tramp Who WINS Riding
with Him.

When the Burlington freight train from
the west, due here at noon yesterday, pulled
into the depot a man was found in one of
the empty freight cars lying in a pool OF
blood. with three gaping wounds in his
throat.
He was unconscious and in his right hand
was tightly gripped a bone-handled razor.
Everything indicated that the man had at
tempted suicide, but when revived at st.
Joseph's hospital he told a story that showed
he had been the victim of a murderous as
sault by a colored man who had been his
fellow traveller. The colored mans name, he
said, is Walker. Walker jumped from the
train after the assault.
The wounded man gives the name of
Thomas Johnson and his home at McCook,
Neb. His injuries, while serious, are not
thought to be necessarily fatal.
Johnson's story is that he boarded the
freight car at McCook to come to Omaha
to seek work. He had a few dollars and a
| watch, which he hid on his person. At a
small way station a negro, who told him his
name was Walker, entered the car. Walker
told him he was going TO Omaha, where he
lived. The negro, he said, piled him with
all kinds of questions and finally learned
from him that he had a watch and money.
Walker was apparently friendly until the
train approached Omaha. when he de-
manded that Johnson hand over to him
his valuables. He accompanied the demand
by the drawing of a razor. johnson refused
to accede to the demands and the negro
rushed at him and the two clinched and
fell to the floor of the car, Johnson being
under. While lying on the floor the negro
cut Johnson's throat, from a point back OF
the right ear to the chin. Johnson, how
ever, managed to stagger to his feet, but
was again knocked down by the negro, who
slashed his throat twice. Although weak
from loss of blood, johnson says he grappled
with the negro and succeeded in
wrestling the razor from him and infictine
a wound on the negro's face. He then fel
unconscious from loss of blood.
He thinks the negro waited until the
yards in this city were reached and ther
jumped from the train. Before leaving thu
negro robbed him of all his possessed.

FIGHT WITH DRUNKEN HOBOES
Police Have u Brisk Encounter with
Tramps at u Beer Picnic in
the south End.

A squad Of police had an exciting en-
counter yesterday afternoon with a gang of
tramps near the South Omaha line and there
were several slight casualties before the ar
rests were made. The tramps were not
without resources and had purchased three
kegs of beer which they were disposing of
in the shadow of a box car back of Krug's
brewery. A complaint had been made and
two sergeants, accompanied by four patrol
men, went to the scene with a patrol wagon.
There were about thirty men gathered
around the kegs and in different stages of
intoXication, They resented the interior
ence of the officers and a melee followed,
Several heads were broken, especially that
of John A. Martin, who received II heavy
club blow across the mouth. A number OF
shots were fired and one tramp was knocked
| senseless by the butt of a revolver. A sur
geon was called TO attend his case, but II
was later found that he had revived and
made his escape in the confusion. A hurry
call was sent to the station for more help
and with the aid of another detachment OF
police nineteen of the tramps We're brought
in. Martin, who had a deep cash on the
mouth, refused to have his wound dressed.

WAR TAX ON THE TELEGRRMS
Each Message Must Carry "a One-Cent
stamp. Paid by the
ScnLer.

Quite a change and quite a feature in the
handling of telegraph business goes into
effect July l, when the new war revenue
law, requiring the use of revenue stamps on
all kilograms for transmission, goes into
effect.
A 1-cent adhesive revenue stamp must be
placed on each message by the customer be
fore handing 1t to the telegraph clerk. A
limited number of stamps will be kept on
hand at telegraph offices to be used by GUS
toners in cases of emergency and will be
placed on kilograms by the receiving clerk in
case the customer should be without stamps,
but the cost of the stamps will be included
with the tolls on the message. This in
cludes all classes of kilograms whether sent
paid, collect or free, press specials included.
1t is considered by telegraph people hat
but little inconvenience and no delay will
be caused in the carrying out of the law,
but it will seem decidedly awkward to both
telegraph employees and to the public at first,
The law requires that 1.-THE person using OF
~afixing the stamps shall write or stamp the
initials of their names thereon and the date
on which the same shall be attached or used
so that the same may not be used again. u
Telegraph employees are to see that the
stamps are SO cancelled.
houses and individuals, should provide them.
selves with stamps before July / or greaI
inconvenience will follow.

OMAHA HAS MANY VISITORS
People Come I'm crowds to See the
City aud Take In the
Exposition.

A cooling breeze from the south delight
fully tempered the suns rays and made the
morning a pleasant one throughout the city.
To be sure 1t was more agreeable about the
parks and in the shaded residence districts
than it was on the broad streets down town,
but nowhere was it unpleasant. The effect
of the weather was apparent, large num-
bers of people moving about down town
during the morning, especially between .
and IL o'clock.
Goodly crowds of school teachers arrived
on the morning trains, and after selecting
their boarding houses, generally rode about
town in the street cars, or proceeded to the
exposition grounds. .
Delegates to the Transmississippi Educa-
tional congress are arriving in Omaha by the
hundred. Iowa and Nebraska teach
ers outnumber representatives from
other states, but almost every state
in the union has a few representatives
among the arrivals. The Union Pacific
brought in four special cars filled with
teachers from along that line, Grand Island
and Columbus having particularly large del
egations. Two special cars arrived on the
Milwaukee carrying Iowa teachers from Ma
rion and intermediate points. The North
western brought in about 100 teachers from
Cedar Rapids, Ia, and other Iowa towns. A
party of 10 arrived from the south on the
Kansas City branch of the Burlington, and
the Burlington main line brought in several
hundred teachers from owe and Nebraska
points.
The school teachers are of both genders
and of many ages and various styles. The
proverbial schoolmarm with a haunting lool
and a pair of glasses did not arrive during
the morning. If all the teachers in the
transmississippi country look alike she will
not be here during the congress at all. She
has been left out, and bevies of bright, at
t%ractive, plain American girls substituted
in her stead.
An excursion on a number of special troll.
ley cars left the Willard hotel at 9:3t
o'clock for South Omaha. In the party were
a large number of the visiting physician:
and electricians, accompanied by their wives
daughters and sisters. Representatives o
the South Omaha packing houses had charg,
of the party, and showed them through tn,
Magic City.
The Missouri Pacific brought in a specia
train of southern editors early this morn,
ing and set the newspaper men and Genera
Passenger Agent Townsend off right at the
exposition grounds. Some of the party
found their way down town later in tn,
morning.
Many of the visiting women, who did no.
take the trip to South Omaha, or go out t.
the exposition grounds, were pleasantly en-
tertained during the morning by drives
about the city. A number of young society
women called at the hotels during the morn
ing with their traps, and invited newly
formed acquaintance among the visiting
women for morning drives. 1t made a pleas
ant way of spending the hours that the mer
folks had to be separated from their fam
lilies, on account of convention business
and was apparently enjoyed quite as muci
by the young hostesses as by their guests.

NEW CHAIRMAN IS NEEDED
Dr.. Warfeld's Going Leaves Religious
Congress Without a Head,
DR.. ]. W. STRoNG'S NAME IS SUGGESTED
Retiring Head of Il Committee
Thinks the Man who Organized the
Columbian Conference Might
Take Up the work.

Having resigned the pastorate OF the First
Congregational church and in view Of the
fact that he will leave Omaha in a short
time DR.. Frank A. Warield has also ten
dered his resignation as chairman OF the
committee which has charge of the congress
OF religions. In speaking Of his resigna-
ton DR.. Warfield said that he saw no rea-
son why his absence from the committee
should embarrass the proposed congress in
the least. The arrangements have been al
most completed, prominent men have been
written to and stand in readiness to come
to Omaha IL so desired and DR.. Warield
says that another chairman can readily
take up the work where he leaves of and
carry 1t through to a successful compile
ton. DR.. Warfield further said that he
would be glad to do all in his power to as
sist the congress, but that he did not feel
that it would be possible for him to act as
chairman, as he will be down on the Mass
achusetts coast this summer and the con-
gress needs a chairman who can be in
Omaha most of the time.
DR.. Warfeld suggests that Rev. j. w.
Strong, who managed the conference of re-
ligions at the Columbian exposition, be
asked to accept the position. At the time
the idea of the Transmississippi congress.
originated DR.. Strong's name was men.
toned in connection with the position, buI
DR.. Strong was then engaged in work which
prohibited him from accepting any such pc,
sition. Since that time DR.. Strong's af
fairs have changed and he is now free t.
accept such an office.
DR.. Warield does not know just when h,
will leave Omaha, but his family will leav
for Massachusetts next Tuesday. DR.. War
field will join his family in a short time a
Rose Cliff, North Weymouth, Mass, wher
he will spend the summer and further tina
this he has no definite plans.
