MooRES KNOWN IN EUROPE
Mythical Matrimonial Bureau Attracts
Attention where Omaha
IL Unknown.

Mayor Moores' mythical matrimonial
bureau is constantly developing new phases
and is evoking correspondence, to much of
which attaches more than passing inter-
est. A woman living in Birmingham,
England, addresses her envelope as fol-
lows: "To His Worship, the Mayor of
Omaha, U. S. A." She goes on to say that
she is married to a jeweler who beats her
and. as she intends to leave him soon,
would like to know the name Of some mar
riageable Nebraska young man.
From Ireland comes a letter addressed:
ITO the Lord Mayor, City of Omaha, pro
bono publico.' A Toledo, O., woman ad-
dresses the envelope thus: "Moores' Mat
rimonial Bureau, Omaha, Neb."
A letter of genuine interest comes from
Mary Munchhof, the Omaha vocalist, who
is making a tour OF the world. She writes
from Berlin under date Of May 2 to say
that the German papers are making a
great 'todo" over Nebraska's '1nterna-
tional marriage scheme" and adds:

Count J. A. Creighton. He will tell you
that am a singer and that have sung
IN n great many European ClJleS ana al
ways as being from omaha. The word

The latter fact has been the cause of my
having to talk a lot (and that tires a
singers vocal chords more than singing
would In order to explain where Omaha
is situated and that the inhabitants are
cultured, refined, progressive and, above
all, civilized. But what will one not do
for the glory of Omaha!
In all my travels I've only met one post
office official and two or three other per-
sons who had ever heard of Omaha. 1t is
most provoking! Even those who had
Toasted on South Omaha corned beef didn't
know. You may think as l do that Europe
is in sad need OF schools where geography
is better tau ght. / am glad, however, to
state that the natives over here do AXE
an interest in Omaha. I've seen fathers
and mothers look II up on the map and re-
toice. when they found Omaha-printed

In Cologne a gentleman told, me he had
looked up Omaha in Myers Conversation
Lexicon-and found II, II you please! He
went on to tell me that Omaha boasts OF
the largest smelling works In the world,
etc. l let him tell II all. Although 1t was
no news to me 1t was to those who stood
listening.
Miss Munchof concludes by saying that
she hopes to be in Omaha again before
snow flies and that, meanwhile, IL the
mayor will send her a few copies Of his
book on matrimony she will pledge herself
to place them where they will do the most
good.

MAYOR ISSUES PROCLAMATION
His Honor Requests that Places of
Business BE Closed Mt
Noon.

Mayor Moores yesterday issued the fol-
lowing Memorial day proclamation:
To the Citizens of Omaha: Tomorrow is
Memorial day, when every person Will nave
an opportunity to show his loyalty and
patriotism. This day ought to have a pc
cullar significance to the American people,
as IL is the one day OF the year when all
are called upon to show their respect to
the memory of those who gave up their
lives to preserve to us the liberties which
we enjoy.
There is an unfortunate tendency in these
later years. to forget the purpose for which
Memorial day was established and to make
I a mere holiday for recreation and ath-
letic sports. Let us not forget that to-
morrow the nation mourns in love and
gratitude over the graves Of the bravest
and best men who ever died In the cause
OF liberty.
In behalf Of the Grand Army of the Re
public l would request that all stores,
shops and places of business be closed for
the day at noon, so hat all may have an
opportunity to participate in the patriotic
exercises which have been arranged.
l would suggest, too. that every residence
and. place of business display the flag at
half-mast. FRANK E. MOORES. Mayor.

Mobiles of TanEier Temple

made final arrangements for the pilgrimage
to San Francisco on Friday evening, May %,
selecting the Union Pacific as the Official
route. thus ~disposing Of all misleading
statements on this point.
In making this selection the following
facts were borne In mind. namely. The
Union Pacific is the only line running
through trains via Denver and Salt Lake to
California; that 1t is 27s miles shorter to
San Francisco, and 16 hours quicker than
any other line, and that, as less time Is
consumed via this route, there are fewer
incidental expenses on the trip.
Nearly all the prominent eastern temples
will pass through Omaha over the Union
Pacific.
Full information cheerfully furnished and
reservations made on application to City

NEGRO CLAIMS BIG ESTATE
John Flanagan Says He is Rightful Owner
Of Boyd's Addition.
CLAIMANT OVER HUNDRED YEARS OLD
In Giving Testimony Plaintiff Says
sMistab Bryan am Jes Fritterin'
His Time Away" Trying
to he President.

Uncle John Flanagan was In Judge Dick
tnson's court yesterday with his attor-
ney seeking to quiet title in himself to
forty acres OF ground that was once part
Of the B. AZ Taylor farm, but is now
known as Boyd's addition. Uncle John
AYERS that he secured title from Taylor, but
former Governor Boyd made the same
claim and decided much Of it to parties who
have since erected fine residences there
and made an aristocratic residence district
of It. Should the plaintiff succeed there
may he a general upheaval in the addl-
tion.
Thursday mornings proceedings in
court we're given an unusual in
terest by the fact that Uncle
John, who IS a colored man, bowed
with the weight Of centuries and with
bushy gray hair quite picturesque, believes
himself 109 years old, but has no knowl-
edge of chronology and was Obliged, in
giving testimony, to recount the epochs Of
his life as dating from the time Of some
well known public events. For instance.
he remembers that his mother toldkhlm he
was forty years old the day of the great
shower OF meteors, which was in 1888, and
that he came to Nebraska Immediately
after the battle Of Fort Donelson, early in
the war.
Refers TO Some Presidents.
In the REORGANIZATION the attorney
for John Mathlson, first of several defend
ants in the present suit, sought to test
Uncle John and the proceeding was in sub
stance as follows:
where we're you living when Lincoln
was PRESIDENT"
Right out on dat same Taylor farm,
sab"
where were you when Grant was presi-
dent?"
Same place, sah."
where we're you when Andrew johnson
was PRESIDENT"
"Oh, ! was jes a young slave when
An'rew Jackson served"
mot Andrew Jackson; Andrew Johnson"
ooh, / mistooken what you said. IL
don't seem to somehow recollick't dis
Johnson you menshion, less he was de man
wifi Lincoln"
"Well, now, Uncle John, do you remember
when James G. Blaine was PRESIDENT"
"Oh, yes, yeah we'll, sab, on'y 1t kind %
seems like dab was some hitch about his
gittin' into de White House"
IAN do you remember when Roscoe
Conkling was PRESIDENT"
who you say?"
Roscoe Conkling."
mo, sab, l don't know nuf1n' bout de
gentleman"
Remember Cleveland? ?"
Eyes, sab. He was kind o. split up and
com back once aftah we turned him down"
well. do you remember when Bryan was
PRESIDENT"
81 specs" said Uncle Bill, with a chuckle,
dat l comes as near rememberin' 1t as
Mistah Bryan does. Mistah Bryan's yeah

OMAHA's RESORTS OPEN.
Courtlnnd Beach and Leke ManawR
Reopen for Summer Season.

CORTLAND Beach and Leke ManawR
reopen for Summer Season.
With fine weather the reopening of Court
Ian Beach on today promises to even
Guido its initial opening on Memoria day in
1898, when, 1t will be remembered, the
crowd was SO great that many we're COM
PEELED to walk home. as the street car serv-
ice on the beach line was packed TO over
flowing. However. no one need fear a repe-
tition of that feature of that most eventful
occasion, as now the Omaha Street Railway
company has n double track direct to the
beach and superintendent Tucker promises
to handle CORTLAND Beach trafic even bet
er than he did the immense throngs at the
Transmississippi exposition, and no one dare
hope CORTLAND Beach will get this year
such crowds as did the exposition-no mat
ter how attractive Manager Grifiths may
succeed in making his popular resort. With
the many new attractive features, in addi-
tion to the magnificent picnic grounds, so
finely shaded, beautiful lawns, flower. foil
age and rose beds, dressed in most attrac-
tive form and color, CORTLAND Beach fur
nishes a rare and pleasing view in itself
we'll worth the 10 cents admission charged.
The old favorite switchback continues in its
old location ready for all its friends.
Few cities have a more beautiful watering
resort than is Lake Manawa, with its fine.
sandy beach. Manhattan Beach, heretofore
taxed to its Utmost capacity because o, it's
limited bath house accommodations, will
this season be fully capable of accommodate
ing everybody who desires to battle. An
almost unlimited number of fine bath rooms
entirely does away with a possible recur-
renee Of this disagreeable feature.

for it's formal opening today. CovaIt's

loists from all parts OF the country and

The Passion Play was given Wednesday

Of the 1900 production of the play and were
taken direct from the theater production for
the first time. Heretofore all pictures OF
this celebrated production have simply been
tableaux that were given from which to
make pictures. This production gives a
complete view of the entire Passion Play
and shows the life Of Christ from a car
penter working at the bench to the resur-
rection in the tomb. Testers band of
thirty musicians has been engaged and
promises to be one of the leading ~attrac-

park so universally popular. The formal

Too GreAs n Risk.

In almost every neighborhood someone
has died from an attack Of collie OF cholera
morbus, often before medicine could be
procured or a physician summoned. A re-
liable remedy for these diseases should be
kept at land. The risk is too great for
anyone 20 take. Chamberlain Collie
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has un-
doubtedly saved the lives OF more people
and relieved more pain and suffering than
any other medicine in use. 1t can always
be depended upon.
