the parade and the ritualistic program at
Hanscom park were abandoned.
1t was the most complete Generalization
of Decoration day plans that ever has been
experienced by the members Of Grant,
Crook and Custer posts, Grand Army Of the
Republic, n Of their relief CORPS, who
had the program IN charge. At noon the

out a dash Of the old-time music, but be-
You'd this there was no parade and the
attendance at the church bore practically
no semblance OF organization. Such MEM
bers of the Thurston and MiIlard Rifles and
Omaha Guards as attended went as indi-

Had the weather been what everyone had
hoped It would be, this would have been
one of the most impressive and imposing
Memorial exercises in the history OF Omaha,
the veterans believe, as three companies
from Fort Crook would have come and
there would have been other unusual fea-
lures.
The salute was fired at the specified time
by Comrades Allison and Dohsrty. how
ever, as that feature never is neglected, no
matter what the weather be. and the
various committees commissioned to gar
land the sleeping places OF the heroes were
equally defiant of the elements, driving
10 the various cemeteries in carriages
shortly after 8 o'clock and performing their
solemn duty while the heavens wept.
The city's observance OF the day was
general to the extent OF half-masting its
flags. closing municipal, county and fed
eral offices, the banks and some business
establishments. Practically all outdoor
events were postponed or cancelled.

RURAL CARRIERS ORGANIZE
Matters that Affect Their
Calling.

The rural letter carriers of Douglas
county have organized an association, meet
ing for that purpose at Benson yesterday.
The organization was effected by the cleo
ton OF the following officers: Frank II.
Cunningham OF South Omaha, president;
o L. Yeager of Valley, vice president;
Charles w. Childs of Benson, secretary, and
A. N. Totman of Benson, treasurer.
A special meeting of the organization is
called for June 20 at Benson. The purpose
of the organization is that the rural letter
carriers may get in closer touch with each
other and with the general postofhce de-
partment for the better development OF the
rural letter carrier service. The question Of
better compensation will also be taken up,
as the compensation now paid. 5000 per an
num-, is not sufficient to maintain the car
riers and from two to four horses that they
must necessarily have to serve their routes
with any degree Of efficiency.
The association will also take up the ques-
ton Of good roads and try to persuade
property owners over the lines which they
traverse to drain and grade the roads SO
that they may become at least passable
in weather like that at present prevailing.
Another purpose is TO enlist public senti-
ment in the furtherance OF more efficient
rural carrier service, and to convince the
public OF the present i~nadequacy Of COM
pensation for the carriers.
The carriers of Lancaster county were to
meet at Lincoln last evening for organiza-
ton. as were the carriers of Gage county
for a similar purpose, The intention is to
enlist the interest of the rural carriers all
over the state in these matters.

Archbishop Guilds arrival at Manila. IL
now looked upon coldly by the Interested
parties.
Governor Taft and his colleagues OF the
Philippine commission are in doubt Of the
feasibility OF again proposing arbitration.
fearing the friars and promoters Of the
companies interested in the sale of the
lands in question may reject the PROPOSE
ton.
Archbishop Guidi is faithfully carrying
out the instructions which he received in
Rome, but the friars openly disregard
them, denying the right OF interference on
the part OF the pope in a question which
they consider to be entirely under the jur-
isdiction of the orders interested.
However. the hopes entertained OF the
acceptance of arbitration have not entirely
been abandoned.

blegram-Special Telegram 1.-THE particular
species of thugs who call themselves
"Apaches" continue to spread terror in the
Paris streets. Mayne Reds works have

individual malefactors are known by such

They attack policemen and rob u~noffending

are always in association with women as
degraded as they are themselves. All Paris

Huessner has appealed from the sentence of
four years Imprisonment imposed by the

cases of false ideas of honor never occurred
until officers began to be appointed from
those classes Of society which have no
military tradition.
The democratic press regrets tha the
laws permit such a terrible crime to be
punished so lightly. They lay the crime
to the charge of militarism.

that the best he could hope for
was a sprinkling Of idle ones whose
marrow is impervious to chill winds and
who do not mind the cold wet. It all of

disappointed. The street car company's
officers announced that they would keep
one eye on the clouds and the other on the
