GENERAL BATES AND PARTY
They Return from Inspection Trip to
Forts LeavenwOrth and
Riley.

General Bates and party returned from
an inspection OF Forts Leavenworth and
Riley yesterday morning. The party was
composed OF General Bates. Mrs. Warden,
President II. @. Burt Of the Union Pacific,
Mrs. Burt, Colonel e. J. McClernand, ad-
jutant general Of the department; Mrs.
McClernand, Miss Pomp and Lieutenant
Wells.
At Fort Leavenworth It was ascertained
that the infantry quarters would be ready
by November, when that post can accom-
modate a regiment Of infantry upon the
present footing. The quarters for the
Twentieth battery, field artillery, in pro-
cess Of construction at Fort Riley, will not
be ready until next January, and that bat
terry. which is now at Fort Robinson under
orders to proceed to Fort Riley, will go
into camp at the latter post until It's quar-
ters are completed.
The returns OF the department for the
term ending March 81 show the total num-
Der of officers and men in the department
to be 4,119, a larger number than at any
previous time since the Spanish war. Sew
eral Of the companies, however. are little
more than skeleton organizations and the
number OF men will probably be Increased
during the summer
Lieutenant Bridges Of the Twenty-second
regiment, now at Fort Crook, has been
ordered to report at headquarters of the
department April 16 for the purpose Of be-
ing examined for promotion.

MAYOR TO THROW HIGH BALL
First He VIII He Assured that Vet
eran "Fans" Are All
4 Present.

The mayor, the members Of the city
council and the various city hall officers
and their deputies are preparing to go in a
body to Vinton park on the afternoon of
April 20 to attend the opening league ball
game. The mayor will follow the time
honored custom of tossing the first ball
over the plate.
1t is said there are persons in Omaha
who have never missed this opening since
base bali became recognized as the national
game, and Mayor Moores will base his
speech on this fact. His remarks, which
are already decided upon, will be very
brief. Standing in the pitchers box, he
will twist the fingers OF his right hand
about the sphere. and then, raising his
left to the grandstand, he will call:
. as General Frederick here?"
Provision will be made for an Affirmative
answer to this, even II the Colonel. by
some untoward chance, should be absent.
ISIS Judge Lake here?"
A hand will be raised from the black
mass of the grandstand and a voice will
answer, "HereI"
ISIS Harry Deuel. here?" =.
The answer will come back like an echo,
I'Here!"
''Then let the game proceed" the mayor
will say. and the ball will fly over the
plate.

COMMITTEE is DISCOURAGED
Finds Opposition to Proposed Change
of Grade on Twenty-FOurth
street.

The matter of changing the grade Of
Twenty-fourth street between Leaven-
worth and Hickory has reached a stage
where 1t is possible the entire question
will be dropped.
A committee of the Southwest Improve
ment club which has been securing signers
to a petition for the Improvement Of the
street and a waiver Of damages from in
terested property owners has met with
some opposition on the part of certain real
estate owners and at the text meeting Of
the club will probably recommend that no
further action be taken.
1--WE found" said q member OF the COM
mittee, that the residents of Hickory
street have about determined to petition
for the grading and paving of that street
between Twentieth and Twenty-fourth
streets. Such a change will give us I'M
impeded and easy access from the center
Of tow to the Twenty-fourth street via
duct. so 1t is really unnecessary to make
the contemplated improvement on Twenty
fourth street north of Hickory. The street
car company can connect with South
Omaha by way OF Its East Park line and
Twenty-fourth street north of Hickory will
be useless SO far as inter-city trafic is
concerned"

TO PROSECUTE THE FATHER
County Attorney Decides Not to Ac-
cept Plea for Young
Kaufmann

After another conference with Charles
F. Kaufman, Deputy County Attorney Alb
bolt and the county attorney have con-
cluded not to bring proceedings against
him, but to follow the original line Of
prosecution Of the young mans father,
Charles Kaufman, accused by the Traders
Insurance company OF Chicago of embezzle-
ment Of about 81, 100 OF collections due it.
Attorney Abbott said: Young Kauf-
mann will not admit that he took the
money or any part Of 1t, and that being
the case, we might be doing an injustice
in securing his confinement in the p%eniten-
tiary. 1t still seems to me that the real
trouble was in the elder Kaufman check
ing out too much of his agency bank &C
count to pay personal bills"

Mrs. Ethel Hughes made an unsuccess-
full attempt to take her own life at .
yesterday morning by asphyxiation and
after having been revived grabbed a pack
age containing strychnine, which was on a
table near her bed, and attempted to swal-
low the contents OF that. 1t was finally

condition and ordered the officers and ply
stefan from the house. After trying to en-
force his m he was arrested and

windows, locked the door and, after turn
ing on three gas Jets full blast. lay down

the matron's apartment, where she will be
kept for the present. Her husband is a

at Clarion, Ia. north Of Fort Dodge. There,

Rules for New Trains.
A special book of instructions to agents
and conductors just issued by General Pas
senger Agent Lomax OF the Union Pacific
relates only to Overland trains Nos. 1 and
2. This book is entirely independent from
the general Instructions for agents. con-
ductors and baggagemen throughout the
service. Some Of the important ~restric-
lions are that no special or private cars
will be carried on these trains,
that none but first-class fares
with Pullman tickets will be allowed to
travel on them and that when all Pullman
accommodations are sold no Une else will
be allowed to buy his way into the train.
Seats in the smoking rooms and observa-
ton car will not be sold, but will be kept
free for the comfort and accommodation of
passengers. Rigid rules are laid down for
the conduct OF the trainmen. who must
keep out OF Pullman and composite cars,
must not use tobacco and must remove
their hats in passing through the dining
car while meals are being served.
Personal baggage only will be carried. no
theatrical luggage nor scenery being ad-
mitted, and the road reserves the right TO
bring personal baggage on later trains il
necessary.
Want Rain and Warm Weather.
E. E. Carter. chief clerk OF the Frisco
office here, returned from Lenexa, Kan. yes
terday with some facts concerning the agri-
cultural and live stock prospect in the
eastern end Of Kansas. They want rain
and warm weather badly down there" said
MIR. Carter. Spring pasture is very pack
ward and this fact is working a great hard
ship on the stockmen. They have been
feeding at great expense all winter after
the bad season last year and they were ex-
pecting an early spring. IL has not come
and they are compelled to buy feed at high
prices much longer than they had planned.
There are already some heavy losers
among them as a consequence"

Tho fact that Grangeville was
designated a. the place for holding
the democratic county convention,
the Grangeville delegation waving
their rights in the matter of voting
and further disclaiming all desire
that tho convention should be held
here, is an indication that the town
has many friends throughout the
county, and that it is generally con-
coded to be the most central and
most desirable point for the trans
action Of business in which the
entire county is interested. The
same argument applies with equal
force to the county seat, and judg-
