Omaha. Sept. 16-The contractors on

the Iowa side of the river are investi-
eating the mysterious disappearance

came to Omaha Sunday with large
sum of money in his possession and has
not been seen by any of his fellow
workmen since.
Doyle has been the boss of grading

amounting to a considerable sum, and
went to Council Bluffs for time. Ac-
companying him were several of the
men with whom he worked, and after
their money gave out they returned to
the camp, leaving Doyle in Council
Bluffs. Friends met the foreman on
the streets and tried to persuade him
to return to the camp, but he was un-
der the influence of liquor and refused,
saying he intended to come to Omaha
and enjoy life as long as his money
lasted. Afterwards he was seen board
ing an Omaha car.
n. s. Doyle, of Honey Creek. was
searching for Doyle yesterday and
asked the police to aid him. The grad
ers say Doyle was not in the habit OF
getting drunk and remaining away
from work, and they believe he has
met with foul play. The foreman has
never failed to assume his duties or
time before and as he Is favorits
with his men they are worried over hii

The Detroit Speeding to Laguayra
to Protect Americans-Rob.
ber's strange Act.

Washington, Sept. ia serious con-
dition OF affairs prevails in Venezuela,
according to the cable advices received
by the state department from its agents
in that country.
Consul Luther T. Ellsworth stationed
lat Puerto Cabello, cabled to the depart
ment that the report was current that
after a battle Gen. de Castro's forces
had occupied Valencia in the province
ow Carabodo, driving the government
forces out.
This government has a consular agent
at Valencia, and 1t is presumed that Mr..
port. Mr.. Russell, the American charge
d affaires at Caracas, cabled the depart
ment in confirmation Of the advices that
President Andrade had gone to the
front to assume personal command of
the government forces in the field. and
his dispatch indicated that critical
condition of affairs existed. He re-
|quested that the movement OF the cruz
ser Detroit to La Guayra be expedited
in order that American citizens and
lHelr interests might ne aueQudlely pro-
tected.
Valencia, which the insurgents are
reported to have occupied, is connected
by railroad with Caracas and its occu-
patton shows that the insurgents are
making progress toward the capital,
with view to its capture. Senior Pu-
lido, the Venezuelan charge d'affaires,
i is confident that under the command of
the government forces the rebellion will
be subdued.
The dispatch from Mr.. Russell was
referred to Acting Secretary of the
Navy Allen. That official could take no
action, however, in view of the fact that
the cruiser Detroit is now on her way
to La Guayra and was expected to have
reached that point yesterday. 1t was
reported yesterday afternoon that the
| Detroit had arrived ut San Juan, but
the officials have no information to con-
firm this report, and as the cruiser was
ordered to proceed directly to the Vene-
zuelan coast they do not credit 1t. Upon
arrival at La Guayra. which is the sea-
port of Caracas, Commander Hemphill.
commanding the cruiser, will cooperate
i with Mr.. Russell TO provide adequate
protection for American interests.

Delivers an Address Full of Patriot
ism and Good Feeling

battle flag of Terry's Texas Rangers. cap
tured by Indiana soldiers during the civil
war, was today restored to the remnant Of

monies taking place in the Auditorium at
the fair grounds. Gov. Mount of Indiana
and staff. Gov. Savers of Texas and staff
and an immense crowd of G. A. X. men. eX-
confederates and Texas citizens were pres
ent.
In presenting the flag Gov Mount said
in part:
This great occasion becomes an epoch in
our country's history. A third of a CEN
fury ago the two great states here repre-
scented were bitter contestants in civil war
Today we meet as citizens of a common
country to weld stronger the bonds OF ma
tional union sundered during that war.
Removed by the tide of time by this cruel
conflict, let the asperities of the past be
forgotten, for 1t is better to exercise char
ity than to engender strife, to plant the
seeds of concord than the germs of hate.
The Hottest patriotism is now found in
binding up the nation S wounds ana uilfy-
ing the country's strength. The state that
contributes most to the bringing Of all our
states into closer union is the one that
leads in loyal devotion to the whole.
I'VE come to return in love a battle flag
took in anger. Since those who fought
us then are brothers. today and fight by
our side, il is not eminently proper TO re-
turn those trophies OF war, representing
they do, the eternal past, into memen-
toes of friendship, to represent the spirit
of unity in the living and present? Who
will dare criticise this noble impulse as a
mere morbid Sentimentality?
Omitted are marching forward to
grander industrial and commercial victor
les. We excel in all the elements of true
greatness the mightiest governments of
earth.
Take this flag. and may ii henceforth be
an emblem of unity and good viii between
the great states of Indiana and Texas and
a seal of their fidelity to the national
Union"

High school Cadets Uniform.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
l notice in your paper of the Sd instant
an article stating that there is some idea
of having the High School Cadets connected
with the District militia and continue to
wear the uniform now worn by them. 1t
seems to me that many more boys would
gladly and are anxious to. join If cheap
er and more serviceable material was used.
The militia uniform costs about half. OUT
wearing two of the High School.
Why deprive the many for a few? Give
every boy a chance. and we will have a

plenty of Deweys among those not now
wearing uniforms. so let's bring them out.

Export Zeitung of Berlin expatiates on the
danger to German exports to Argentina in
the increasing American competition.
Among other things, the article says:
1.-The efforts made by American business
men are certainly worthy of emulation.
American commercial travellers appear in
every city and town, and work in unison
with local agents of the various products.
Exhibition rooms for samples have been
established in all the larger cities, and the
country has been simply flooded with cat
alogues and price lists
Here, as everywhere in the worlds mar
kets, must prepare for hard battle
with American competition. 1t will need
all our energy and resources to enable US
to hold our own"
