maie Of the cost from the department
engineer. Il is also certain that the
result would have been the perform
ance OF the work by the commission. as
Il would have been found that it could
do the work cheaper.
In part we agree with this. on a
contract Of this nature. involving as il
does the expenditure Of a large sum,
true business methods demand open
competition, and whether technically
such bidding is required or not. certain
ly that is in accordance with the spirit
OF our charter. Besides. 10 establish
the precedent OF doing such extensive
work directly by the department is a
step in the backward direction
But we doubt very much whether had
bids been invited it would have been
found that the department could do
the work cheaper. The engineers es-
innate would not have been hnal for
while 1t would doubtless have been an
honest estimate yet there have been
other honest estimates that have been
lgreatly exceeded.
We have no wish to put obstacles in
the path of the commission. but we do
think It is our duty to protest when
the manifest spirit OF our charter Is
being disregarded and when the door Is
thus opened for further abuses.

Quaint Features of Current Life.

innocent cause OF the misfortune and It
lived in large lake from which an i'm
portant town drew its supply of water. BY
means Of powerful steam-driven pumps the
water was drawn from the lake through
a strong iron pipe. which, after running
some eighty or ninety yards into the lake
from the shore, ended in an upward turn
a short arm bent at right angles to the
pipe and rising to within few feet of the
surface. Suddenly an epidemic visited the
town In question. The company's reputa-
ton being threatened, 1t was decided to
straightway pull up the streets and expose
the main pipes and conduits.
The entire system was laid bare, from
the outskirts Of the town to the very
shores Of the lake, but the minutest exam
ination failed to reveal any suspicious fea-
ture. Then, almost at their wits end, for
the epidemic was raging as bad as ever.
the oficials entered upon the last lap and
turned their attention to the submerged
portion of the conduit, and here 1t was
they found the cause. A huge alligator had
been drawn towards the mouth of the main
by the very strong influx and, being unable
to release itself from the suction, had re-
manned there until It died, and thus, for
goodness knows how long. all the water
consumed in the town had first filtered
through the dscomposed carcass of the
alligator.

Recognition OF Her Merit.

The election OF Mrs. Adams is a merited
recognition OF her services as one of the
most loyal energetic and enthusiastic mem
bers Of the Womans Relief corps in the
country. Mrs. Abbie A. Adams is the wife
of Captain c. r. Adams post department
commander Of the Nebraska Grand Army
Of the Republic, leading banker and stock
man Of Superior, Neb. She was depart
ment president of the Nebraska WOmans
Relief corps in 1898 and such rendered
most valuable services for the aid and conf
fort of the Spanish American war soldiers
from Nebraska. She is past national in
stalling and inspecting officer, past ma
tional Inspector and has served several
terms as a member OF the national execu-
tive board. She is a woman Of brilliant in
telect, is fine speaker and a parliament
tartan of the highest order. Her devotion
TO the Woman's Relief corps comes from
her boundless loyalty and love for the
union veterans Of 1sjl-5, and she is the per-
sonihcation OF the true, loyal and patriotic
American woman.
Her election TO the highest position in the
greatest benevolent and patriotic society OF
women In the union is an honor she most
deeply appreciates and Nebraska is honnred
by her selection. That she will bring the
Woman's Relief corps to a still higher
standard OF efficiency and increased menu
bership is assured. Mrs. Adams does moth

History silent on one Point.

History does not tell when golf was in
troduced into Scotland. but before Column
bus discovered America the popularity was
so great that 1t threatened to interfere
with the ancient pastime of archery. Par
lament decreed that "fute-ball and golf
be utterly cruit doun, and nocht usit."
In 1891 "Fute-ball and Golf Forbidden" was
the title OF a decree. The decree speaks Of
"fute-ball golfe and luther six unprofitabin
sportis." From that time to this the his
tory Of golf has been uneventful. While
It has always been favorite pastime Of
the nobility and aristocracy, the true in
terest in the sport as a pastlme for the
masses has been developed in this country.
Here popular clubs as the two outdoor
clubs which Omaha supports have made
the game the popular game that it is and
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1905-09-17

The game may be practiced on any good
stretch Of meadow land where the grass is
not too rank with the aid OF a tin can
sunk into the ground and golf stick. The
location to be selected for permanent
golf course is one which possesses undula-
lions and natural hazards. Sandy soil
makes the finest golf course, for It drys so
much quicker Every we'll regulated golf
course must have bunkers and hazards,
the avoidance Of which constitutes the main
skill OF the game, and without these bunk
ers which make the hazards no golf links
can be considered au fat.
Small holes four inches in diameter are
punched in the turf from 100 to 800 yards
apart and these are the goal at which the
golfer shoots. The number OF strokes
which it takes to drive a ball from one hole
10 the other shows the degree Of skill which
a player possesses. 1t is sometimes possible

ful exercise than walking. but who wants
to go out, cold turkey" and walk four
miles each afternoon just for the privilege
of walking Golf is the game which
furnishes the excuse for this walk and
what an appetite golfer has, when after
playing eighteen holes he takes the shower
and sits himself before one OF those juicy
steaks which Caterer Smith has cut so
thick at the Field club.
Golf is being taken UP by many Of the
towns of the state where a few golf en-
thusiasts are arousing the interest Of their
neighbors in the pastme. An eastern wit,
who has not had time to indulge in any
pastime whatever since the good old bicy-
cling days. when he saw the broad ex-
panse of beautiful green sward which was
used for the golf links remarked: Seems
10 me that a good many good cornields
are being wasted" But the golfers do not
think so. and rightly, for the ruddy COM
plexion and the healthy color Of so many
men who have never before been pryed
from their offices testify to the direct bene-
fits of the game.

Spoiled the Paper.

Prof. Bailey of Yale university says that
in the town in which he spent his childhood
there was a society of women who were
very active man haters. on one occasion
the president prepared a paper presenting
the strength of women and the weaknesses
OF men, entitled, woman: without Her
Man is Helpless" To strengthen her point
she hired a decrepit old man 10 read the
paper before the regular meeting Of thu

No Age Limit.

Golf is a game for the old and young.
Men so years old are known, who are skill
full at golf. while the caddes themselves
can play the links and have much more
amusement thaa at marbles or tops. 1t
is a game which can be taken up by a man
who did not indulge in athletics in youth,
and who has not particular fancy for
sports. Many men, when they have reached
the age of 40 or 45 have earned the right
to indulge in afternoon off from the
business cares of life, after many hard
years with their noses to the grindstone
and there is no game better suited for this
class Of men. Many are seen at both OF
the Omaha clubs, who never INDUCED in
athletics of any sort in their youth. bue
who have taken up golf with vim because
of the opportunity which it gives them to
spend the afternoon and evening strolling
across the green links.

II - - To AilN ASaSN interesting tplSOoe
N Of the recent national encamp-
ment OF the Grand army of the
Ik4EY34A Republic at Denver was the
- great national convention of the
Woman's Relief corps, the official auxiliary
to the Grand Army of the Republic. which
resulted in the election Of a Nebraska
woman Mrs. Abbie A. Adams of Superior
70 be head of that organization.
At the beginning of the convention on
Thursday the candidacy of'Mrs. Adams was
not taken seriously, the delegations from
the eastern states were apparently united
upon Mrs. Kate f, Jones of Hon, n. Y,
while Missouri came with a united delega-
ton for Mrs. Carrie Sparklin of ST. Louis,
and the dOwneasters conceived the idea
that the fight lay between Mrs. Jones and
Mrs. Sparklin, and arranged their skirmsh
lines accordingly Other Richmonds I'm
the field" were: Mrs Belle c. Harris of
Kansas. Mrs. Geraldine Forsby OF Cali
fornia and Mrs. Adams OF Nebraska. It
was the number OF candidates in the field
that gave Mrs. Adams lieutenants inspira-
ton to make the fight OF their lives. The
details Of the campaign were left largely
in the mastery hands Of Mrs. Mary b.
Eddy Of Omaha, secretary of the NebTa ska
department, I'm which she was ably sup
ported by Mrs. Harriet Wilcox, president
OF the Nebraska Woman's Relief corps, and
most OF the Nebraska delegation.

Forsby OF California withdrew her can

the four candidates In the field. with Mrs.
Jones and Mrs. Sparklin claiming every
thing. In the meanwhile the energies Of
many of the Nebraska Grand Army boys
were enlisted In Mrs. Adams behalf, and
on Friday morning the convention awOke
10 the realization that the Nebraska candi-
date was a host to be reckoned with.
The surprise came on the first ballot.
which resulted in 146 for Mrs. Sparklin. III

to drive from one hole to another in a
stroke. but hazards are placed so that It
generally requires three or more strokes at
perfect play TO make a hole There are
about dozen variety of sticks or clubs
and their use varies from the position in
which a player may find his ball after a
drive. II in a hole a club by which the ball
may be lifted into the air is desired To as
sist the players from hole to hole tee IS
arranged a start after each hole. Here
is a level hard plot of soil with a sand nox
handy from which the player can get a
handful Of sand to tee UP his ball or 20 raise
IT so that he can get clean swing with his
driver. This first stroke is the only one
before the next hole is made. when the
player is permitted to touch the ball. The
long stroke from the tee is called the
drive" Having got within a moderate
distance of the hole, he makes his "ap-
proach shot" onto the putting green, a
smooth surface not necessarily level with
the hole near the center. This green is
kept close cut and as level as possible. A
