The Twenty-flfth regiment of infantry
now stationed at Fort Niobrara, is one Of
the best regiments in the service. 1t has
been at this post for over three years. Not
a more healthy body of men can be found
anywhere in the world. During the summer
months the afternoon is taken up with base
ball, while in the fall months association
foot ball is enjoyed by every soldier. The
early summer morning is utilized in various
kinds of athletic exercises. In the fall a
competition is held to see which company
is entitled to be called the athletic cham
pions. Company TX" was the winner OF
this last October. A series OF base ball
games is played during the summer by
company teams and this year Company
&C" was declared the winner. The men
also take great pride in drill The COMPETE
tive drill held in October was won by Com
pany *"
During the summer the troops get a great
deal OF field training. Forty different
maneuvers are prescribed each year and
these maneuvers always terminate in an
eight-day practice march Each OF these
forty maneuvers involve a march of from
ten to twenty-five miles while the practice
march must be longer than 100 miles. The
route taken the last two years has been
east ard north, so that the second or third
days camp would be on the banks of the
Keya Paha- The march would then be up

had the good fortune to be stationed at

general opinion would be that this post is
a most delightful place in which TO serve
for many reasons. The life differs from
that of the modern post to a great extent.
There is large yard in the rear of each
set of officers quarters, in which they have
gardens or keep chickens, cows or horses.
These luxuries cannot be had in the mod
ern posts, where there is not SUFFICIENT
room. In addition to these the outdoor
life is seldom equaled Grouse, prairie
chicken, ducks and quail abound. while the
fisher enjoys catching black bass and
trout. The officers and men enjoy these
outdoor sports and spirit of content
ment prevails, outside the fact that the
quarters are very old and in bad condition.

large gymnasium should be built when the
new post is constructed. so that the troops
can enjoy the indoor games of basket ball
or have bowling alleys. With a good gym
nasium and the canteen. where the men
could enjoy themselves during the winter

MIEl dent in his annual message ex-
k6kI presses his belief that many of
10 fGI the smaller army posts should be
SS abandoned and some of the larger
posts be made into brigade and division
posts, where the troops can get more
actual field training, 1t is interesting to
look over the Fort Niobrars reservation
as a place suitable for army maneuvers
and a permanent brigade or division post.
The present post is located about five
miles east Of Valentine, Neb. near the
Chicago 4 Northwestern railroad. II a
new post be built 1t will. without doubt,
be placed much nearer the railroad. The
original reservation embraced an area OF
sixty-four square miles, and by executive
order of 1904 Is 600 acres were added to this
already immense tract. This post was in
tended for cavalry, and quarters and
stables were built for the accommodation
OF eight troops. The construction work
was begun over twenty-five years ago, and
since the year 1880 Fort Niobrara has been
continuously occupied by troops. OF late
years, owing to the bad condition of the
cavalry stables. II has been occupied by
infantry. The Twenty-fifth infantry (col-
ored) came to the post in August, 1902, d.
rect from the Philippines.

0RPHEUM BUILDERS HERE
GENERAL MANAGER BECK TO
MODEL NEW ST. PAUL THEATER
ON MINNEAPOLIS oRPHEUM.

General Manager Martin Beck of the
Orpheum Circuit company, in company
with F. B. Henderson, superintendent
of construction for the company,
stopped in Minneapolis yesterday, on
their tour of the circuit for a final look
at the plans drawn by Kees & Colburn
for the Orpheum to be built in st. Paul.
While the general plans of the Min
neapolis Orpheum will be followed, the
lines Of the property secured for site
in St. Paul, opposite the Windsor ho-
tel, demand a. change in the form OF
the building. In the matter of the
material used, however, the Minneapo-
lis plans will be carefully duplicated.
The front entrance will be a faithful
COPY of the entrance Of the Seventh
street house, as will the interior.
"We are not going to build finer
house than the one here, but we are
going to try to build one just as good,' -
Said Mr.. Beck. est. Paul, as a home
| for a. modern vaudeville theater, looks
| very good to US, and we are going to
try to meet the, people of st. Paul more
than half way.'
Mr.. Beck made two interesting an:
nouncements while here. One was that
the million dollar New Majestic thea
ter which has been building in Chicago
for year will be opened in conjunc
ton with the Orpheum circuit Dec. II
and that the Salt Lake City Orpheum
which will ffbreak the jump from
Denver to San Francisco and from Los
Angeles to Denver, will be opened Dec

growing at the rate Of two theaters 8

ARE TRANSFERS GOOD
ON SHORT LINE CARS?

Are the short-line cars part and par
eel of the main lines on which they are
operated, and are transfers good on
the mainline cars not good also on the
short-line carsg
This most interesting question has
been raised in the case Of Or. George
II. Haggard against the Minneapolis
Street Railway company, now on trlal
before Judge F. G: Brooks. The decl-
sion in the case will for the first time
involve legal construction Of the Har-
vev transfer ordinance and will settle
a dispute between the public and the
street railway company that has caused
much trouble and several strenuous con
troversies.
The plaintiff took transfer from
the Como Harriet line to the Eighth
and Central. His transfer was PUNCHED
at Central avenue. Instead OF trans
ferring there, he came over to Wash
ington avenue and took an Eighth ave
nue. short-line car, thus saving consider,
able time. The transfer was refused
by the conductor, and when the pas
senger refused to pay his fare he was Was
forcibly put off. He asks for $4,000
| damages. - IT,
4. r. Ankeny, attorney for DR.. Hag
| gard, argues and has introduced evi
| dence tending to show that the shor
line is merely a part Of the main line
and that transfer good on one L
good on the other, provided the holdeI:
Of the transfer takes the first car at
ter the time punched. It has beer
shown, in proof Of this contention, tha
the short line has no transfers, bu
uses the mainline transfers.
The street railway company claim
that the short lines are separate, an
that transfer, to be good on a short
line car, must be punched at the poin
of intersection with that short line.

WILL BE HEARD TUESDAY

Judge John Day Smiths courtroom
was packed to the door with labor lead
ers and members Of the Typographical
union today, when the case Of the en-
ploying printers application for an in
junction, against the union was called
for hearing.
Judge H. G. Belden and Harlan P.
Roberts appeared for the plaintiffs and
Albert H. Hall of Hall &; Kolliner repre-
sented the defendants. Mr.. Hall moved
the court to make an order for the tax
ing Of oral testimony before tenn
porary injunction was granted. He
stated that the allegations made in the
plaintiffs affdavits were most of them
generalities and conclusions, and the
few direct charges were many Of them
unfounded on fact, and he argued that
it would be an injustice to place the
honest members Of the union under the
ban of an injunction without full
hearing of the facts.
Judge Belden and Mr.. Roberts op.
| posed this motion and contended that
as there had been no answers fled there
was no issue raised, and the court could
make no order. After long and some
what heated arguments that were met
with murmurs Of approval or ridicule
by the crowd that filled the courtroom
and had to be quieted several times by
the court, the attorneys agreed to {
continuance to Tuesday morning.

A JEWISH ANNIVERSARY
Landing Of First Jews at New Amster-
dam Is Commemorated.e

Jewish Reform Temple, Tenth street
and Fifth avenue s, was crowded last
evening on the occasion Of the celebra-
tion Of the arrival Of the first Jewish
immigrants in North America, $50 years
ago. Naturally the occasion was strong
ly tinctured with expressions Of regret
and horror over conditions in Russia.
The principal address of the evening
was made by Robert s. Kolliner, who
the Jews in Russia. Being an attor-
ney, he was enabled to give a most in
teresting digest Of the Russian laws for
the oppression Of the Jews. He showed
that not only were they subject to Sc
verest restrictions as to their place of
residence and the acquisition Of prop
erty, but that they were barred from
service in the navy. They were sub
ject to service in the army, but promo
tion for Jew was impossible. Worse
than all, this Russian law prescribes
that in case Jew becomes a convert of
the state church he is by that very act
divorced and may marry Christian
wife, wholly disregarding the Jewish
marriage contract.
Rev. s. N. Deinard, pastor Of the con.
gregation, made a brief address con
trasting conditions in America with
those in Russia and compHmenting the
Jewish people upon the progress they
had made in this country. which was
source of great pride. He appealed tc
his hearers not only to continue thei1
generous financial support of those nov
suffering in Russia, but to give literally
| to the Jewish self-defense fund now be
| ing raised in Russia. This fund, which
is being largelyncontributed to by Amer
ican Jews. is, for the purpose Of defense
in case of riotous outbreaks, but NOR,
particularly for carrying on work whicl
shall ultimately result in the politica
liberty of the Jews.

TURKEYS FEW AND SMALL
Scarcity and Leanness of Birds Will
Force Price Upward.

Scarcity of turkeys and absence Of
meat on the small visible supply of the
Thanksgiving birds will combine to dis
appoint many this year, according to
certain to be high and the supply even
then is not expected to equal the de-
mand. A canvass made by a local firm
of 1900 turkey shippers failed to bring
an encouraging response regarding
either the quantity or quality Of the
birds.
Merchants are urged by the Com
mercial Bulletin to tell farmers to hold
their small turkeys over Thanksgiving
and fatten them for the Christmas
trade. It is stated that the market
ing their birds the farmers will rear
larger profit.
