CHILDREN WALK FOR A CAKE
Exhibition of Genuine Cake-WaIking
Talent by Young Amateurs on
Harvey Street.

The children Of the vicinity of Twenty
sixth and Harvey streets varied the
monotony of dull summer evenings Friday
night by giving an outdoor cake-walk. The
participants were calm and self-possessed
and walked and danced with the ease and
grace of real colored swells. The walkers
were costumed in all sorts of fancy gar
ments. The gentleman OF the winning
couple, who proved to be a girl, wore a dark
suit, with yellow silk facings. This couple
had their faces BACKED to the right shade.
The judges found 1t a very difficult task
to pick out the best among so many good
ones. Every couple had a style all its own.
Three were finally picked out to walk it off
for the cake. These were Lucille Patterson
and Bernadette Proyst, Grace Cramer and
jeanette Miller, and Josephine Rodgers and
Willie Fitzpatrick. The hrst-named couple
was given the cake, which was donated by
Mrs. d. c.. Chaplin Of $3.50 Harvey street.
The children promise to repeat the perform
ance soon.

HIGHLY PRICED FEATHERS

BED that Had Been In Family

Der of women and new cases are coming to
light every day. 1t now transpires that he
went to the home of Councilman Karr's
mother at 2O1O Ohio street and represented
that he could make old feathers as good as
new.
Mrs, Karr was a little doubtful and told
the man that she was afraid he would never
come back with the bed if she allowed him
to take 1t. His honest eyes took on a look
of injured innocence and he protested with
tears in them that he was the soul of hon
esty and would return her feathers in a day
or SO, all cleaned and as light as the down
just picked from the breast of a swan.
Mrs. Karr debated some time about the
matter. as the bed was one that had been
In the family for a long time, and it's con-
tents were of the finest character and such
as to make any housewives heart swell with
pride. After debating a while and sizing up
the man, who seemed to be reputable and
honest, she allowed the bed to go, and that
was the last she ever saw Of 1t. The police
have not had word from the feather man
as yet, but a warm reception awaits him
should he ever turn up in this bailiwick, as
irate housewives from all parts of the city
are ready TO string him up to the nearest

near Dease lake about the first week in July.
In April they heard of the death of a Ger

POPS WILL FIGHT IT OUT
Result of the Primaries Leaves Forces
Well and a
Warm Convention.

The partial success OF the administration
populists at Thursdays primaries emphasizes
the prospect of a sure enough hot time when
the two elements mix in the convention Sat-
urday afternoon. While the office holding
element won out in two wards in which it
made a fight. the narrow margin BY which 1t
scored indicates that party sentiment is
very evenly balanced and the county organi-
cation populists declare positively that they
have more than votes enough to control the
convention.
1t Is the avowed policy OF the administra-
ton populists TO force an Adjournment OF the
convention TO whatever day the democrats
may select for holding their convention.
This course will be opposed with a yigor

as the various delegations are foaded with
most OF the famous convention scrappers of

tional.

course Of his sermon DR.. Wheeler referred
to the way in which young Hopper had
taken his fathers place at the head of the
family and had been both a father and a
brother to his brother and sisters and to
his mother not only a son, hut a never
failing support and comfort in the trying
times when the family had sought a new
home in the west.
He pleaded with his hearers not to for
get the men who stood ready at all times
to give up their lives so their fellowmen
might live in quiet and safety. He did not
wish to take one wreath from the glories
OF those who fought with the First Ne
braska about Manila or those who were
with Hooker in the battle above the clouds,
but he feared that people generally were
too prone to forget the men who in every
day life, in what we are accustomed to call
ing the common walks of life, are exercising
fully as much heroism, bravery and patriot
ism as any men in the world. 1t is we'll
to give credit to the great men of the world,
but it must be remembered that it is the
unswerving devotion to duty of the men
sible.
After music by the quartet DR.. Wheeler
closed the services with a benediction. The
remains of Fireman Hopper will be taken
this morning to Waterloo, the former family
home, for burial.
Floral tributes to the memory OF the brave
dead were very numerous, the members of

he takes it all in and thinks that he Is the

to be bigger than the power that made him

Burbank is certainly not the whole
show" said a committeeman who has been
active in Nebraska politics for many years.
"a majority of the committee surely has a
right to have something to say about the
party management. If Burbank did not want
to call the committee together, he could
have called in fifteen or twenty Members for
a conference and stated his reasons. That
would have been far more courteous and
every one would have been satisfied. The
trouble is that he is controlled exclusively
by one or two fellows and he does not know
or care what the sentiment Of the bulk Of
the party is
Another committeeman said that he has
no positive opinions on the subject, but that
there can certainly be no harm in calling
the committee together. Then II they find
after comforting that it is not good tactics
to call the convention at this time they can
easily adjourn. 1.-THE snap convention trick
has played out in Douglas county. We want
no more of that. We want to issue the call
for the convention in time to give ample no
tice to all the candidates, and this should be
at least two weeks. Then no one can say

unite tremendously to elect whatever can
didates are nominated"
Trying to Prevent a Quorum.
After discovering that his conduct Is CEN
sured by an overwhelming majority of the
committee Burbank Is now endeavoring to
head off a climax by inducing members to
stay away from the meeting Saturday. His
friends are going from one to another Of the
republicans who signed the petition and as
surfing them that they can gain nothing by
attending, while they may get involved in
a controversy that will conflict with their
personal interests. These Establishments
have been unsuccessful, except in only a
few isolated cases. and the general opinion
Is that there will be a clear majority Of the
committee ready for business at Washington
hall Saturday.
1t Is well known that Burbank is merely
trying to prevent the committee from meet
ing until John L.. Webster returns, and the
members assert that IL they cannot get to-
gether and talk over the situation in Web
ster's absence they might as well quit busi-
ness and give Webster the exclusive manage
ment OF the party.

Yesterday morning Captain Louis Sorcho,

traction at the exposition, recovered the body
off lake. Adjusting his diving suit he
went over the edge of the boat, and after
working along the bottom of the lake for
fifteen minutes signalled to be hoisted to

him he brought the body.
Where the body of the boy was found the
water was about eight feet deep and filled
with seaweed, which reached to within about
three feet Of the surface. Speaking of his
search along the bottom of the lake Captain
Sorcho said; II could see but little, the
water was so cloudy and full of weeds. |

The search for the body was witnessed by
a crowd of fully 1000 people, who lined the
shores of the lake and occupied boats around
the spot where the diver worked. After
the body was raised three rousing cheers
were given for Captain Sorcho. He is the
man who recovered the bodies from the
Maine.

A $4,000 IMPROVEMENT.

In the list of building improve
ments published on another page
of this paper THE GAZETTE has neg
lected to mention the mammoth i'm
provenent of the Southern Mime
sofa Electric Telephone Co. The
cost of putting in the local exchange
alone was something over 81 900,
while the expense of running the
long distance line throug this county
to Morgan, Evan and Sleepy Eye
would add materially to the building
record of the county.
It is probably needless to add
that the local exchange is one of the
finest exchanges in the country.
All of the telephones are of the most
improved pattern: while the'switch-
board and other appliances at the
central are of the most recent manu-
facture, and the poles throughout
the city are far ahead of the poles
in many other towns.
The long distance lines are kept
in perfect order. Conversation is
easy and distinct.
The local Office is conducted by
Miss Carrie Isham and Mr.. Joe
Drake and patrons of the exchange
are always given prompt service.
