of the congregation.
The Presbyterian reception was
held at the manse On White street.
Provision was made for lighting
the lawn with Japanese lanterns,

Mr.. Tncker,s Visit to Idaho

The visit of Hon. H. st. George
Tucker to Boise City, Idaho, in
the interest of the jamestown Ex-
position, the occasion being the
National Irrigst ion Congress
which met in that city recently, Is
mentioned as follows in letter to
the Morning News Of Dallas, Texas:
One of the most conspicuous
figures in the congress was Hon.
H. St. George Tucker Of Lexing-
ton, Va, president Of the James
town Exposition to be held in 1907.
Judge Tucker by his kindness and
urbanity won the hearts of all.
His appeal to the congress to have
it's next sitting at jamestown was
regarded as one Of the foremost
speeches of the congress, bristling
with pure Oratory, sound reason
ing, jest, wit, pathos and kindli-
ness. He was the David Of the
occasion, singlehanded and alone.
So dexterous was his effort that he
nearly accomplished his purpose
anent the combined great West.

Third CIassmen at the V. M. L.
Rough on Rats

ANCh - OA
Several daily papers of last Sat
urday contained sensa tional re-
ports of hazing at the Virginia
Military Institute, the reports be-
ing based on the action of Mr.. D..
T. Deal of Norfolk, who took his
two sons from the Institute be-
cause of what they considered bad
treatment. Upon investigation,
these reports were found to be
greatly exaggerated. AS a matter
of tact two cadets have been dis
missed for hazing and IL new men
have left on the same account.
The custom has prevailed at ed
vocational institutions from lime
imme mortal for the Freshmen to
have pranks played on them by
the Sophomores. At the Virginia
Military Institute the members OF
the FIRES hmen class are called traits, ="
and mem bers of the Sophomore or
Third class are the ones that inhict
humiliation on them. This treat
ment Of the Third class takes
various forms, and the pranks are
played in the spirit Ct fun, with
no idea, on general principles, OF
INJECTING bodily harm. Sometimes
it is an epithet applied, sometimes
it is forcing the "rats" to perform
ridiculous antics and again it is
logging.
The statement of General Ship
with reference to the hazing this
year was that "every effort has
been and is being made to suppress
the annoyance of new cadets. A
very small percentage of new
students ever make complaints. No
one was ever injured here by Eaz-
ing. My information from new
cadets and officers in charge of dis
cipline is that there is now little
or no hazing going on. Any cadet
convicted of hazing is summarily
dismissed. Detection is difficult
and rare"
Colonel NJ. M. Mills, the com
mandant of cadets. discussing the
matter said that "the men who hao
left had not been here long enough
to find out anything about the
school or what discipline is. For the
most part they were either home
sick or had the blues, and yield
ing to that had gone home"
A number of cadets, "rats" and
upper classmen, when interviewed,
said that during the first few days
of the session hazing had been
INDUCED in, but not at present.

)AHLMAN FINISHING SLATE
Mayor Will Have List of Appointments
Ready for Tuesday.
WILL WHISPER TO THE COUNCIL FIRST
His Refusal TO Allow the Legis-
IatOrs to Make Suggestions
Adds to the Feeling
of DiscOrd.

Mayor Dahlman will put the finishing
touches to his slate Of appointments Mon
day or Tuesday 1t is likely he will call
in the councilmen Monday to break the
tidings to them privately. At any rate, the
mayor has some such matter under con-
sideration. But it is distinctly understood
that the councilmen are to be called in to
receive the news-not to make suggestions.
This attitude of Mayor Dahlman has
had the effect upon councilmen that rubbing
the back of a cat towards its head has on
the cat. The big six or Funkhouser faction,
especially is possessed of an idea that 1t
should be a large factor in running the
city government, but the mayor, so far.
about that. Threats have been made and
repeated to a number of effects-that ma
jority of the council will turn down all re-
publican appointments; that the majority
will reject all the appointments because it
has not been consulted in making them
that it will reject certain ones that meet
with its favor and confirm others, and lastly
that 1t will show the mayor he is not
exactly all of the big noise in the govern
ment Of the municipality of Omaha.
The upholstery in the executive chambers
continues to be plastered with individuals
who have mania for seeing their names
on city warrants.
Il expect to give out the list Tuesday in
time for the evening papers," said the
mayor. Possibly / shall call the. council

pointments on Monday"

INDICTMENT OF ELBOURN
Grand Jury Said to Have Pound Bill
Against En- City Clerk
CHARGE IS TAMPERNG WITH BALLOTS
EIBourn Himself was So Impressed
with Report He Appeared
at Court House 60
Surrender.

Contrary TO expectations, the county
grand jury returned no indictments Satur-
day. At noon the jury adjourned until
Monday without reporting to the court. 1t
is rumored a report on the alleged ballot
fraud case and the alleged illegal practices
in the Third ward at the last election Will
be made Monday. The rumor was persis-
tent Friday and Saturday that an indict-
ment had been voted against former City
Clerk William H. Elbourn on charge Of
tampering with the ballots in a number of
the precincts at the primary election, In
which he was q candidate for denomination.
The rumor was so positive Friday that Mr..
Elbourn went TO the court house to give
himself up. but he was told no indictment
had been returned yet 1t is believed the
return will be made Monday.
The evidence taken by the grand jury, it
IS said. shows that ballots were tempered
with in eight precincts. The fact that so
many ballot boxes we're affected was taken
as evidence the changes in marking the bal
lots were made after the boxes had left the
hands Of the election boards and given into
the custody Of the city clerk
The grand jury made request on City
Clerk Butler Saturday morning for the poll
book used at the May 1 election in tho
Fourth precinct OF the Third ward. The
clerk asked the legal department IL he had
a right to break the seal of the envelope
which contained the book wanted and was
informed that it would be well to insist
upon q district court order before breaking

PASSING OF STAGE LINES
Trains Have Put Most Coaches Ont
of Business, Says Veteran
stager.

James Stephenson has returned from a
two months visit with his son at Boise,
Idaho. Mr.. Stephenson is one of the old
time freighters and stage line men Of the
western country
"The old stage lines are now practically
a thing Of the past" said he. The rail-
roads have finished the stage lines, except
in some sections where trains are not prac-
ticable. About the last of the lines of any
length was that between Lander and Raw
Inns. and as a railroad is now being built
between those points. that line practically
has gone out of existence.
IT have disposed Of about all of my in
terests in the stage lines, and about all
that are being operated in the western
country now are the short star route lines,
and these are, not operated any more at a
profit. The farmers in that section have
generally got possession of these star
routes and can operate them cheaper than
the old-time stage companies"
