NCASKEY FAVORS CGNTEEN
Colorado Department Commander Recon-
msnds Re- establishment Of Exchange,
ATHLETICS FOR ENLISTED MEN
Report FRvOrs Annual Division or
Department Athletic Meet and
Inter-Post Base Ball
Games.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %.-In his annual
report for the Department OF Colorado
which has just been received at the War
department, Brigadier General William s.
McCaskey, commanding, recommends
among other things the re-establishment Of
the canteen feature of the post exchanges
and also increased pay for craftsmanship
General McCaskey states that during the
past year strong effort has been made to
stop the sale and improper disposition Of
military clothing by enlisted men and that
trials before United States courts of civil
fans charged with buying arms. amuuni-
ton and clothing from soldiers have not
resulted in convictions. He makes the rec
ommendation tha, uniform clothing should
be so marked that no question could arise
as to its issue by the government and upon
the discharge OF the soldier, or II for any
other cause he may become separated from
the service, the clothing should be pur-
chased by the government and destroyed
In view of the fact that large bodies of
troops are constantly travelling to and from
the Pacific coast General McCaskey recon-
mends that a standard kitchen car for a
command not less in size than battalion
should be adopted so as to enable the
troops to be subsisted in the regular or gar
rlson ration and with much greater comfort
and convenience than at present.
The following recommendations as to
athletics are concurred In BY General Nc
Cas,-ey:
That there be three post field days during
the year, one each In March, June and
September, instead OF the ncathly field
days now prescribed.
That annual division or department ath-
letic meets be held during October of each
year.
That during the season the different post
baseball teams be allowed to visit at other
posts in the department at government
expense.
The report calls attention to the large
number of officers absent from their or
ganizations on detached duty and suggests
as a partial relief from this condition that
legislation be secured by which officers on
general stan duty may be placed on the
same footing as those detailed on the staff
in the departments so that their detach-
ment from line duty may create vacancies.

UNITED IRISH HAVE A DAY
County Treasurer Fink and other
Notable Hiberninns Enjoy
Picnic at Ascot Park.

Several hundred people were present at
the picnic given by the United Irish So
ceties on Sunday at Ascot park. The fea-
ture of the AFFAIR was a foot ball game
under association rules and the players
went into 1t with as much vim as If the
weather had been ideal for a strenuous
game. Under the blazing sun the eXertion
proved too much for several OF the players
For a time 1t was feared some of them
would be laid out in serious fashion, but
heroic measures by friends brought all of
them around in fairly good shape before
the return home.
County Treasurer Fink and other notable
Irishmen, including Sheriff Power, Tom
Flynn and TONY" Donahoe, were on hand
to mix with the crowds in the interest of
their candidates.. These men expect to
have rather a vigorous fight before the
primaries and perhaps after, but they all
Join in saying that the political battle is
vastly milder and safer than association
foot bali on hot day.

GOLD UNDER FARNAM STREET
NuEEet a. Picked Up by LsbOrer IN
Gane DiREinE Trench for
Condutts.

While everybody who knows anything
knows and has known for a long time, that
Omaha real estate is extremely valuable,
that the very streets of the city are verit-
able gold mines has not been a generally
recognized fact. However. sentiment along
Farnam street is drifting toward that con-
viction now.
Monday morning a laborer in the gang
that is plowing another gulley down Far
nam discovered large hunk Of dirt under
meath one OF the big granite blocks which
seemed considerably heavier than any equal
volume of dirt he had seen before. He
was a man who, all his life, had hoped
one day to find his fortune buried in the
earth, going on the theory that gold found
there would be more pure, at any
rate, not tainted. This man gave
his name as simply John Jones"
guarding with sacred care not only
his precious metal, but his identity as well.
Picking the dirt OF from around the solid
interior Of his nugget he found he had a
piece OF gold of indefinite value.
Bob Druesedou and several other gold
mine magnates and mineral (water) experts
happened to be standing near where the
nugget was found-in front of the Mer-
chants hotcl-and with one voice, Mr..
Druesedou's being a little audible above
the rest, these miliionaires unhesitatingly
pronounced this nugget one Of immense
value, Offering to have 1t assayed free of
cost at once.
Looking at this bunch Of gold miners for
a minute with an expression that be-
tokened Just a mite OF incredulity, John
Jones" finally turned to his pick and shovel
and remarked, dryly:
We'll, guess I'll not throw UP me job
just yet anyway"

charges her condition, but whom she will
not prosecute The police found the girl
had not had food for two days and that
she had wasted away until she weighed
but sixty-hve pour !. The statement was
made that the baby did not live.
Miss Sage improved rapidly under the
care Of the police and is now at the address
on South Sixteenth street.
Elmer Sage of Council BLUFFS, father Of
the girl, called on Captain Mostyn at the
police station and told the officer that the
girl, had been bad ever since she was a
tot, which prompted the captain to intimate
that proper home training might have
changed the girls ways.
Mrs Sage, step-mother of the girl, also
called at the police headquarters and gaid
she wanted to get the girls clothes, as she
heard the young woman had some fine
garments The mother told the police she
is a Christian woman and in the next
breath she said not long ago she threw the
girls trunk and clothes over her back
fence.

for its lead story a sketch Of W. T, Canada
and his Bandit Hunters, an organization
which has protected the Union Pacific from

holdup on the Union Pacific for the last five
years. The sketch tells Of several OF the
thrilling experiences through which this or
gsnization has passed in Its pursuit OF the
bandits which formerly infested the west
ern country. Several years ago the Union
Pacific practically rebuilt the lines west
and thousands Of men OF all character were
employed Some OF these were taken as
