been tearing down the old refinery to make
room for the erection of a new building, to
be devoted to cold storage. The work of
dsmantlng the building was no small task,
but when it came to tearing down the i'm
mense chimneys, each over 160 feet in
height, 1t was decided that the old system
was entirely too slow to be followed in this
case. Instead, the great chimneys, weighing
scores Of tons each, were undermined on
one side. Then ropes were made fast to
hawser, which had been tied about the
chimney at height of sixty feet. These
ropes were fastened to "crabs' placed at an
angle of As degrees from the path in which
1t was intended that the chimney should
take. Three powerful hydraulic jacks cap
able of lifting 20, 900 pounds each, were placed
beneath the side of the chimney on which
the excavations had been made and when
all was in readiness all the preparations
were inspected to see that no hitch would
occur.
Then the word was given for all to stand
clear. About the spot were gathered quit
number of curiosity seekers, who were pres
ent to see one of the largest chimneys in the
city torn down at one swoop Eight men
placed themselves at each "crab," and men
at the jackscrews. Then at given signal
the men at the GRABS began winding the
cables about the drums. The men at the
jackscrews began elevating that side of the
chimney, and when the first preliminary
crackle of the strained structure came,
promptly fled to point of safety. The men
at the ends Of the long cables continued
their work, which was punctuated by more
crumbling and groaning as the massive
masonry shivered and trembled. Then in
few moments the top of the chimney sagged
and came topping downward. The base of
the chimney fell more rapidly than did the
top, causing the chimney to break into two
portions, which closed up, jack-knife fashion
just as the base struck the ground with a
crash and rumble. great cloud of dust,
through which bits of brick rebounded,
arose, and five minutes later the workmen
were clearing away the debris.
1t was estimated by the contractor that
in the chimney torn down 900
bricks were used. The chimney was 100 feet
high, eight and half feet square at the
base and four and half feet in diameter at
the top.

took in the situation at a glance. He
jumped out on the other side Of the train
and went to the engine. Captain Perry
followed him and they got into the cab
with the bullets flying like hail around them
Neither of them knew anything about an
engine, but they started in to learn by
trying all the levers. At last they found
out how to start 1t and Coleman helped
Perry down and ordered all able to walk to
climb on the car next to the engine, put
several wounded on and then ran the
train two-and- one half miles into Calumpit.

Pen and Picture Pointers

The frontispece of The Bee this week will
interest particularly the 1000 and more
members Of the Knights OF Pythas In the
state OF Nebraska as well as personal friends
and acauaintances OF the grand chancellor,
T. H. Bexten OF this city. The growth oil
the secret societies and fraternal orders In
Nebraska during the last few years has been
certainly marvellous, scarce village exist

bodies OF this character. The portrait OF
the new chancellor, which we present, has
been taken specially for The Bee.

Our pictorial series, representing the flrst
Iowa regiment OF volunteers, as caught by
the camera, is continued in this number,
with a number of striking views. Atten-
tion is called to the pictures Of the local
receptions to the various companies on their
home coming, which everywhere mark
turning point in the history Of the different
communities. While the officers and men
who formerly belonged to the regiment are
quickly falling into their accustomed places
in civilian life the military record of the
regiment will for some time remain the first
subject in the public mind in Iowa. Another
lnstallment of the series will be given next

Political League
of Women

The Women's Bimetalic league of Lin
coin, Neb, was organized December s. 1896.
1t was the outgrowth of and successor to
the Mary Bryan club, which had been organ
lied during the campaign of that year, and
which was probably the largest organization
OF "A political nature ever composed solely
OF women, the membership numbering
nearly 1,400.
The club was active during the campaign,
and, although the candidate of their choice
was not victorious. the women did not lose
enthusiasm. but decided to effect a perma-
nent organization for the purpose of study
ing the political. financial and economic
problems of the day.
Mrs. Deborah G. King was the first presi-
dent of the league, and under her enthusi-
astic leadership the monthly meetings held
during 1897 were interesting and we'll at
tended Mrs. King has always been untir-
ing In her efforts to have women see their
duty as members of the community to exert
their influence for the public good.
The league has taken a lively interest in
both OF the state campaigns since its or
ganization, and on different occasions 1t has
been demonstrated that there are several
clever speakers among the members. At
the second annual meeting for the election
of officers of the league Mrs. l.. w. Pomer-
enc was chosen as Mrs. Kings successor and
during her incumbency Mrs. Pomerene has
devoted her best thought and energy to the
interests of the league.
In May, 1898, when it became known that
the soldiers of Nebraska would be encamped
near the city preparatory to going to the
scene of war, Mrs. Pomerene. in behalf of
the league, Issued a call inviting all the
patriotic women Of the city TO assemble for
the purpose OF devising plans to make the

stay of the soldiers pleasant. AS result
a joint committee of the Women's Relief
corps and the Bimetallic league met to-
gether and formed "The Women's Patriotic
league" a separate and non-partisan organ
ization, the representatives Of both the re-
lief corps Of the city and of the Ladies of
the Grand Army of the Republic and other
organizations afterward joining in to aid in
the good work.
The kindness of the Patriotic league
women will long be remembered by the SOL
diers. Their thoughtfulness did not cease
with the departure of the boys from the city,
but was manifested at Thanksgiving and
Christmas time, and again upon their re-
turn.
In addition to the regular programs,
number of public and social functions have
been given under the auspices of the Bime-
tallic league, most notable among these
being the celebration of Abraham Lincoln's
birthday February 12, 1898, at the oliver
theater, and the reception to Colonel Bryan
on his return from the army
Several receptions have been enjoyable oc-
casions in the history of the league.
The present year Mrs. o. P. Davis is the
popular and efficient president of the league,
and associated with her are Mrs. H. ]. w.

He resigned to become captain of Company
II In order to save it's organization. 1t was
he, when in charge Of the first battalion at
the battle Of San Fernando, who said to an
excited captain who hurried to him declaring
that the enemy were flanking them: Let
them flank and we will lick them out OF their
boots on both sides!" Captain Mount not
withstanding his SO years. was with his COM
pany in every engagement, not being sick a
single day. Another remarkable circum-
stance about his company is that while in
service eighteen months and twelve days not
a man was lost either by death or desertion.
The captain, who was a leading jeweler in
Shenandoah. sacrificed his business to serve
his country, and the whole city is now at his
disposal.

Omaha Boy in
the Philippines

Writing to his mother from San Francisco.
Andrew j. butcher, one Of the three Omaha
boys who accompanied Captain Baxter to the
Philippines as civilian clerks, gives the fol-
lowing account Of doings on the firing line
I'VE got word that the battle was to be-
gin at daybreak August 9th, and all night
long the troops and artillery kept moving by.
Captain Baxter came up at 4:30 in the morn
ing and told me to report at once, mounted,
at the railroad station, as he was placed in
charge of the tracks. The sun was just ris-
Ing as the native boys brought round my
horse and everything was so quiet, still and
peaceful, that 1t was hard to believe that in
few moments a battle would begin. The
birds were singing and 1t was altogether a
beautiful morning. Suddenly tremendous
crash Of firing startled my horse until she
almost threw me and l knew that the ar
tillery had opened on the first trench. The
wounded soon began to be brought into the
station Some were badly wounded and died
later In the day, but they were brave fell
lows and there wasn't complaint from any
OF them. They were American soldiers and
as such they suffered or died. The next
train brought in more wounded and dead,
and also wounded insurgent, a mere boy.
He was shot through the body and suffered
terribly as l could see by the look in his
forehead. He was as brave as our own
boys, though, and never made a whimper.
All day the firing continued, but getting
farther and farther away in the distance.
At sundown l went out with five Macca-
bebes to see that they properly buried the
little insurgent who had died that morning
1t was strange burial, the Maccabebes
laughing and talking all the time, a crowd
OF curious soldiers looking on, but couldn't
help feeling rather sad. My mind never did
run much toward attending funerals.
thought. poor little fellow he thought he
was right, and he died like soldier even IL
he was half naked and black.
II had to send twenty-five Of the
Maccabebes out as letter bearers and after
they had started had to follow them myself
to see that they got there. Rode clear to
MacArthur's camp and didn't feel at all sure
that some of the stray bands of insurgents
were not in the bamboo thickets. but II they
