Stiffness of Signs

The number of people who believe In
signs is astonishing, and even well educated
men and women have some pet supersti-
sions. Although they don't believe in
signs. they think 1t is unlucky to walk under
a ladder just as the painter drops his paint
pot. 1t is unlucky to be struck by lightning
on Monday. or to be "cut" by buzz saw on
Tuesday. To fall downstairs on Wednes-
day with the coal hod means disaster. and
to be run over by a trolley car on THURSDAY
is painful. but rather lucky for the doctor.
To fall into salt water is as unlucky as IT is
to fall into fresh water on Friday, for both
are equally moist. To marry girl on Sat-
urday, when she swings ten-pound dumb
bells for exercise, shows that she will be n
expert fiat iron Singer, and this means
trouble for you. To be one, of thirteen a. n
dinner on Sunday when there is enough only
for ten means poor meal. To spill the
salt is unfortunate, II there is no more of It
and the same applies to sugar, especially at
picnic The latter will gain you the III
will of all the sweet things, who will look
sour at your awkwardness. To break a
looking glass is a terrible thing If 1t happens
to be $150 one and belongs to friend. So
the list might be increased. but these ex-
amp1es are sufficient to prove that people
believe In signs.-Boston Traveller.

COLONEL BRYAN'S REGIMENT
Omaha Entertains the Soldiers on

Mrs. Virgins graphically describes the
visit of Col w. j. Bryan's regiment to the
Omaha exposition, en- route to the front, as
follows:
yesterday was Nebraska soldiers
day at the exposition. The crowd almost
eoualed that of the Fourth of July, and II
was a glorious day, filled with glorious
good times for the soldiers. This regiment,
the Third Nebraska, has been In camp at
old Fort Omaha for some time, and owing
to lack of equipments have learned some OF
the hardships of army life. But now they
are all uniformed. equipped and ready 10
obey the order to go south tomorrow. To
give them a day at the exposition was a
great thing for the soldiers as well as for
the exposition.
"a thousand three hundred strong, they
marched in from the fort, with knapsacks,
canteens, guns, etc, and formed the one
great attraction Of the day. They were
led by Col. Bryan on a black charger. After
a march around the grounds and through
the government building they were seated
in the auditorium. What room was left
was given over to citizens, and the place
was packed from floor to roof. Speeches
and music was the order Of the hour. The

Politicians' Progeny

This Is country whose people are not
timid in speaking their minds, whether to
praise or to blame, about men in authority
but surely the voice even of American crit
icism must have been hushed by the dis
patch from Gen. Shafter, which began
"Capts. Alger and Sewell anu Mr.. Corbin
are WELL" That is exactly the sort OF
news we were waiting breathless TO hear,
and our commander at the front would
have been rewarded for al; his hardships
If he could have heard the sigh of relief
that went up all over the Union when its
anxiety about Capts Alger and Sewell and
Mr. Corbin was lifted. There are, indeed.
other young men down in Cuba, and even
a few old ones. whose health interests indi-
viduals here and there, but what are they
beside the sons of a secretary of war, Il
senator from New Jersey and an adjutant
general? Gen. Shafter isn't real rugged
himself, and he has a good dea. on his
hands, but he knows his countrymen and
sympathizes with their consuming affection
for the progeny of eminent politicians, and,
therefore, when telegraphing at govern
ment expense, he naturally leads his corn
munication with the glad, glad tidings that
Capts. Alger and Sewell and Mr.. Corbin are

The Bourgogne Disaster

HAVRE. July 25.-Nineteen Austrian sail

confronted by four second-class passengers
survivors of La Bourgogne, on charges of
cruelty and brutality at the time of the col
lision between La Bourgogne and the Brit

July. Although the evidence offered against
them was very slight, six of the accused
were held on remand. The others were dis
charged.

colonels speech was modest and pleasing
and received with great enthusiasm. He
desired to make clear to the public, on this
their goodbye visit, that this regiment was
not, as it had been called, a silver regi-
ment. He wished 1t understood that it was
not a political regiment; that 1t was made
up Of men of all political parties. of all
religions, of many nationalities; and it was
simply a regiment Of American soldiers.

der with a little card, on one side of which
was The Star Spangled Banner on the
other side My Country, IT'S Of Thee

lowed their freedom and an opportunity to

IN. H. De Young, commissioner general
from California to this exposition was here.
He was well pleased with the Los Angeles

far has been the new strike of sulphuret
ore in the Little Butte, at a depth of 500
feet. The ore body shows a five-foot vein
Of dark, close-grained bluish-looking
quartz, and mills about $l5 free gold, with
the sulphurets worth about sSS per ton.
More than anything else it shows the
permanency of the Lodges as for the pitch
of the ore chute the same vein passes un-
der the Kinyon and Wedge, only at a
greater depth. The Little Butte people are

therefore, they kept 1t open. Mrs. Ge;ler
called the family to dinner about o'clock,

The CHAIN GANG
RELOCATED TO WORK ON A
PRIVATE ENTERPRISE
Chief Glass Magnanimity Leads Him
to an Indiscretion-A Neigh
boris Need

Chief of Police Glass is noted for his broad
shoulders, and he has just demonstrated
that he has heart which is equally large,
thick and deep. The chief recently ordered
the chaingang to do a large bit Of work for
a worthy widow named Mrs. Mary e. Nc
Kee who resides on the northeast corner Of
First and Hill streets. True, the changing
Is not supposed to be put to work at any
thing except the public service, but the
chief reasoned that as Mrs. Mckee, who Is
neighbor OF his during business hours, was
such a worthy individual. a little assistance
on the part of the city's enforced aids would
not be misplaced.
Mrs. Mckee owns the property where she
resides, directly opposite the chiefs Office,
and wishing to Increase her income, decided
to raise the one -story cottage and build
some stores underneath. She mortgaged
the rear portion Of her lot and secured about
$500 to cover the incidental expenses, but 1t
was found that there would have to be con-
siderable excavation In order to bring the
foundation to the proper level. In her di
lemma she sought policeman and asked II
the chaingang could not be loaned to her,
and Chief Glass, with the generosity an,
gallantry of big soul, acceded to her re-
quest and gave orders for the gang to go to
work. The gang worked for Mrs. Mckee
for two days, whereat she has since waxed
exceedingly grateful.
1t appears, however. that certain council
men have made 1t habit to use the chain
gang for public work. such as improving
sidewalks, cutting down grades and grad
ing streets, when as a matter of fact the
work should have properly been assessed
