NOW FOR A REAL BIG SHOW
Ak-ssr-Ben Governors Make q Splendid
Reginning.
GETTING READY FOR NEXT CARNIVAL
Officers Who served Lnst Year Are
Reelected and the Outlook
IL Hrigbt for the
Coming Event.

Thc Board Of Governors Of Ak-Sar-Ben
have taken an early start for the labors
confronting them in preparation OF the big
gest and best carnival OF festivities In the
history of the organization Encouraged
by the success of previous efforts. the gov
ernors are determined to make next fans
festivities the most memorable OF any here
tofore held and plans are already beginning
to assume material form.
The first step was taken Monday night
when the election of the same Board of Gov
cruors and officers that ofiiciated last year
was accomplished at a meeting held at the
Omaha club. Those reelected are: Thomas
A. Fry. A. II. Noyes. Walter Jardne, Edgar
Allen. James G. Martin, George y. Cronk,
u. $. Wilcox. Vance Lane. NJ. c. Peters.
Fred Metz. jr. Mel Uhl and II. j. Pcntold.
From these officers were elected as follows:
Thomas A. Fry, president: Walter Jardine,
vice president; A. II. Noyes. secretary; II.
]. Penfold. treasurer.
For six years Major II. S. Wilcox has
served as member OF the Board of Gov
ernors of Ak-Sar-Ben and this fact adds
weight TO the statement made by him yes
terday when he declared: I'VE are going
TO make this years festivities the biggest
and best and most successful OF any ever
held before. The governors are all OF one
mind in their determination that progress
and not retrogrcssion shall be character
istic of the boards actions With the
splendid examples afforded us OF past
achievements we certainly have much upon
which TO build and are justified In thus
carly making the prediction that we will
surpass all previous efforts.
Opposes Hnsty Action.
Just what form the festivities for next
fall will appear in is yet undecided.
Definite decision In this matter will proba-
bly, not be reached for some time. for | am
sure that no member of the board will
favor hasty action in so important a matter.
Last year we had under consideration many
different forms Of amusements and were a
long time in finally determining upon tho
one TO be instituted. | opine that a similar
condition OF affairs will exist this year. and
all suggestions that are made the board will
receive our most hearty and careful at
tention.
AK -Sar Ben is an Omaha institution and
the only way It can attain its greatest sue
cess is for every Omaha citizen to give IL
his most generous support. The Board OF
Governors would be absolutely helpless in
making the organization n success were IL
not for this cordial support and sympathy
extended by the knights themselves.
mo action has as yet been taken regard
ing our future home. | do not believe we
will be shelterless. however. for | hold the
idea that the Coliseum will be left intact
and at our disposal until we are able Ia
make other arrangements. The committee
having in charge the question of quarters
is working away at this problem and some
solution will likely be speedily reached"

QUEER VERDICT IN COLORADO
There Was No Evidence whatever, But the Law Appeared
 All Right.

The queerest verdict ever heard,n said lawyer from Denver, who was one of storytelling group, relates the New Orleans Times-Democrat, was rendered at boom mining town in southern Colorado, back in 1888. The judiciary of the district had just been organized, and one of the first cases called in court was that of a fellow who was accused of robbing some sluice boxes. The evidence had seemed conclusive at the time of his arrest, but it developed, later on, that the whole thing was the put-up-job of personal enemy, and the night before the trial the chief witness got scared and skipped out. The weak ness of the case was unknown to the district attorney, however, and he proceeded to impanel a jury, which was composed entirely of tough and illiterate miners, none of whom had ever served in that capacity before. After hearing one or two minor wit- nesses the attorney saw how the land lay and abandoned the prosecution, but as mere formaity the judge told the jury to retire to their room and render a verdict. He supposed, of course, that they would be gone only long enough to reduce it to writing, and when an hour had elapsed with out hearing from them he sent a ball. if to investigate.
 They want to know what the ex- treme penalty is for grand larceny reported the bailiff, after a conference at the door. Tell them 20 years,' said the judge, unable to understand what they meant by such question. Pres ently the panel filed in and announced they had arrived at a verdict. We find the prisoner guilty said big raw-boned prospector, who was act ing as foreman. 'Guilty!' exclaimed the judge in amazement; why, there's nothing at all against him!' Nary ----- thing replied the foreman, calm- ly. Then what do you mean by such an outrageous verdict?' demanded the judge. Well, your honor, we couldn't do nothin' else,' said the fore man. You told us straight out to find this here verdict according to the law and the evidence. and the law pears to be all right, but there ain't no evidence whatsoever. So we jest kind of decided to bring him in guilty, and ask yer honor to split the differ ence and let him off on ten years
 When the judge recovered his speech he dismissed the case on his own motion. That's true story, gen. tlemen. I happened to be counsel for the prisoner myself"

A Calamity to the Chinese.

From the Chinese point of view, the greatest calamity that has happened is the seizure and removal of the an- cestral tablets from the imperial tenn pie of heaven, for that makes it inn possible for the present emperor and his successors to worship their ances- tors-the most sacred duty and the highest rite of their religion. At least four times year the emperor himself proceeded to this temple with great ceremony and magnificent retinue and performed certain rites required by the imperial ritual. These cere- monies have been going on in China ever since the time of Abraham. Now they have got to stop. The tablets of the emperor's ancestors, which are the objects of his worship, have been stolen by the foreign devils' and shipped to England. The a,tars and temples have been destroyed and the holy place has been polluted beyond egeneration.-Ch Chicago Record.

PLANS GREAT KANSAS RANCH,
Frank Rockefeller Said to Re Trying to Add More Land to His
 Holdings.

It is reported at Wichita that Frank Rockefeller is negotiating for the pur- chase of ,000 acres of land in Kiowa and Clark counties, Kan, with view to stocking it with horses and high grade cattle, sheep and hogs, espe- cially horses, for which he sees a profitable future.
 The land is along Soldier creek, the fastest running water in the state, and which is fed by great many springs, numbers of them artesian. At present he owns the land on both sides of the creek for over seven miles, but the area is too small for his plans. He has but few horses on his present ranch, but they have so 'emonstrated the adaptability of the country for giving bone and wind to their kind that Mir. Rockefeller is anxious to experiment on a larger scale. 1t is also said that he will ex- pertinent with poultry and animals of various kinds, including some of the wild animals of the plains. At pres- ent his ranch is stocked with high grade Hereford cattle and sheep.
