MODERN WoopMEN.
Enjoyable Entertainment Given by
Local Camp.

The entertainment given under the
auspices of the Modern Woodmen
Camp of the city Wednesday evening
in their hall in the Klingman Block,
brought out fair sized audience.
Those present were given a treat in
the work of Miss Grace j. Hamer, of
Kearney, Neb., a recent graduate of
the Chicago Conservatory of Elocu-
ton.
The young lady gave very excel
lent program of selections and her
work was generally admired. The
entertainment was one of the best
that has ever been given here. Miss
Hamer will be heard from later and
in way that will carry her name in
to many states. She certainly has
great talent that has been cultivated
in the right direction Her voice is
powerful and yet contains those quail
titles of softness, sweetness and sym
pathy that makes her work so enter
tanning and pleasing.
Miss Hamer is cousin of County
Recorder l.. L. McCord, and for the
past three weeks has been the guest
of his home. She departs in the near
future for her home in the west.
Those who heard the young lady
Wednesday evening are pleased that
they were afforded the opportunity of
meeting her and they expect to hear
of her unbounded success In the
future.

A DAY AT OYSTER BAY
A Number Of Visitors Dine with
President Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 16.--The presi-
dent ON Friday gave orders that
hereafter the names of the enlisted
men OF the army who die in the
Philippines be cabled to this coun-
try once in every two weeks. When
the volunteer army was in the arch
ipelago it was the custom to cable
the casualties, but on the withdrawal
OF that army the practice was dis
continued. The subject was dis
cussed while the president was enter
tanning a number of visitors at
luncheon. Among those who sat at
his table were Maj. Gems. II. c. Cor
bin and S. b. M. Young, Henry Loom
is Nelson, the author; Jacob A. Riis,
of New York; Robert A. Morris,
chairman of the New York county
republican committee; former Gov.
David r. Francis, of Missouri, presi-
dent Of the st. Louis Purchase Ex-
position company; Henry NJ. Warren,
Of Philadelphia, son of Bishop War
ren, of the Methodist church, and
Congressman Mercer, of Nebraska.
The subject of cabling the names of
the dead soldiers was preached by
Mr.. Riis. He made the point that I'M
der the present system the relatives
of enlisted men who die in the Phil
ippines are kept in ignorance of this
fact for eight or ten weeks, while
the families of officers who succuInb
there are informed at once. The
president was greatly interested in
the matter, and, as soon as it was
explained to him, ordered Gen. Cor
bin to instruct Gen. Chaffee, at Ma
Mia, to cable his full casualty list
twice month. While it costs on an
average of $3.50 to cable news to
this country of the death of an Off
Ger in the Philippines, it costs about
$40 for each enlisted man. This diff
ference is due to the fact that the
war department has code numbers
for all its officers, while the names of
the enlisted men, together with their
company, regiment, ETC., must be
sent in full.
VIII Attend Dedication.
Former Gov. Francis discussed st.
Louis exposition affairs with the
president. He informed him that the
dedicatory ceremonies would occur
April 80, next, this being the one
hundredth anniversary of the trans
fer of the coded territory from the
French government to the United
States. President Roosevelt prom
Used to attend these ceremonies, and
further stated that he would have
our representative abroad instruct
ed to use their best endeavors to in
duce foreign governments to have
exhibits at the exposition.
He instructed Gems. Corbin and
Young, who sail to-day on the
Fatherland for Germany, to become
the guests of Emperor William dur
ing the maneuvers of the German
army, to do all they could to fur
Their the interests in Germany of the
exposition. The two army officers
came to pay their respects to the
president before sailing.
Mr.. Mercer discussed the political
situation in the northwest, and he
informed the president that his re-
ception in Omaha next month would
not be confined to one political
party, but would be participated in
by all the citizens, irrespective of
political affiliations.

Morals of the Child,

The moral development of the child
begins almost as soon as its mental, and
the two march hand in hand. The
home is the place where correct moral
principles should be first instilled in
the mind of the child. and neglect of
this may mean endless suffering for
parents and child. Too often this is
left to the servants, relatives, or the
teacher later. The parent who can
neglect this side of the child's develop
ment, and trust it to somebody else, is
not worthy of the responsibility that
has been conferred upon her. The
neglect is not altogether intentional,
but more often due to lack of energy
and forethought. The work does not
begin early enough, and the little mind
gets warped before the lessons are
taught. March Woman's Home Com

Dying Speech Of Robert Emmet

(on Monday, September 10, 1903, at
the Sessions Honse, Dublin, Robert
Emmett was tried for high treason. Lord
Norbury, Mr.. Baron George and Mr..
Baron DAILY were on the bench. The
trial occupied nearly the whole day.
A few minutes after the judges charge,
and without leaving the box, the fore
man of the jury thus addressed the
court: "My lords, l have consulted
with my brother Jurors, and we are all
of the opinion that the prisoner is
guilty." Mr.. Emmett, through his
counsel, asked that the judgment of
the court might be postponed until
the next morning. This request was
not granted. The clerk of the crown
read the indictment, and stated the
verdict found in the usual form. He
then concluded thus: "What have
you, therefore, now to say, why judg-
ment of death and execution should
not be awarded against you according
to law?" Robert Emmett, upon the in
stant, exhausted as he was by the trial
in which he had taken an active part,
made reply in the following speech,
which may safely be pronounced to be
one of the most splendid and powerful
effusions of impossioned eloquence and
patriotic devotion which eyer fell, i'm
promptu, from the lips Of NAM.
