BOYS COME MARCHING HOME
Tenth and thirteenth Batteries Pass
Through Omaha Enroute to
Fort Smelling.

The Tenth and Thirteenth batteries,
United States field artillery, encamped at
Elmwood park Friday evening, arriving
there about o'clock on their overland
march from Fort Riley, where the battalion
has been attending the maneuvers at the
camp of instruction for the last two
months.
The command arrived in Omaha in July
by special train from Fort Smelling and
marched overland from Omaha to Fort
Riley. 1t started on its return march from
Fort Riley about twelve days ago. Tho
march from Fort Riley to Beatrice was a
severe one, owing to the rainy. muddy
weather. The batteries have been making
much better time since leaving Beatrice.
averaging about eighteen miles per day.
The batteries show the effect of their long
march, the equipment being mud bespat-
tered and the men considerably unkempt
and unshaven. their khaki uniforms in
dicating hard service and exposure.
It was hoped the command could have
been kept here for few days to partici-
pate in the Ak-Sar-Ben parade, but Presi-
dent Roosevelt could not see his way to
authorize any delay OF the command re-
turning to it's station at Fort Smelling on
account OF the possibility of Cuban troubles
should their services be needed there.
The command broke camp at an early
hour Saturday morning and marched over
to Farnam street, marching down Farnam
about O'Clock to the Northwestern freight
yards, where 1t entrained on q special train
Of eighteen cars for Fort Smelling over tho
Chicago Great Western line. The march
Of the two batteries through the streets
was an impressive sight, giving a realistic
view of a big detachment OF the United
States army in its active. war parapher-
MALTA. The command comprised about 200
men, with a dozen cannon Of the latest
modern field type, caissons. horses and full
field equipment of wagons. teams. extra
horses. field transportation and ambu-
lances.
The battalion was under command Of
Major s. f. Allen. The officers Of the
batteries are: Tenth battery, Captain
Thomas Ridgway. First Lieutenant N. ].
Shelton, Second Lieutenant c. G. Morti-
mer and Second Lieutenant N. p. Mar

Charles Osborne, charged before the
Juvenile court with choking a playmate
Richard Walter. In a fight over a dog, was
sent to the Detention school for three days
by order OF Judge Sutton. The imposition
of this sentence aroused the boys mother
to wrath and she denounced It as a mis-
carriage of Justice. Judge Sutton peremp-
torally ordered Assistant Probation Officer
Carver to escort her out of the court
room, and she watched the rest of the
proceedings through the open door.
George OMara, COS Pierce street, also got

centage of the plants. but this rarely hap
pens more than once in a quarter of a CEN
fury and then mostly on irrigated lands,
which crack and dry out in winter more
than does land which has never been irri-
gated. A good disking or narrowing as
soon as the last cutting is of is the best
preventive of this.
The age of dry-land alfalfa depends more
on the gophers than anything else. These
little pests do not live on the root, but
chew 1t to obtain moisture Some patches
will stand for ten or fifteen years, while
others will become pretty well thinned out
in six. Mr.. Joseph Knoll of Douglas
county, Colorado, who raises immense
quantities of wheat and alfalfa every year
by the dry system, informs me that disk
ing not only spreads and invigorates the
alfalfa, but that it also kills hundreds of
gophers, thus prolonging the life of the
patch and at the same time thickening the
stand.
1 strongly advise all farmers who milk
for the creameries to lessen their labor
end increase their profits by giving the al
falfa question their serious consideration.
One neighbor of mine. who never had
enough feed, planted his bottom and side
hill land to alfalfa and is now cutting his
seventy tons a year without any irrigation

BRIDAL CHAMBER IS BURNED
Home About to BE Completed by
Newly Wed Couple Goes Up
I'm Flames.

A destructive fire. with more than the
usual element of romance connected de-
stroyed a new cottage about 3:I5 Il. m.
Saturday at Seventeenth and Laird streets,
in Boulevard park. The building was a
story and half frame cottage near the
street corner. which was being erected by
the real estate firm of Sinner & Chase
and lacked about $50 worth of work toward
it's completion. The cottage had prac-
tically been sold to A. l. Shook and wife,
recent additions to the blissfu state of
matrimony. Mr.. Shook is a railway mail
clerk and on September % married the
daughter of @. q. whitmore, a clerk in
the local city postofice.
The couple had taken a deep interest In
the building of their new home and had
expected to move in next Thursday and
had all their furniture bought in this e&-
pectation. The fire Saturday morning de-
stroyed all hopes of living in the home
they had planned for SO long. and Mrs.
Shook shed copious tears when told of the
loss
The cottage was valued at S. 100 and was
insured for 81 800 by the real estate Arm,
which will have to bear the loss. as the
building was totally destroyed. The cause
of the fire is uncertain, although neigh
bors said they saw several men lettering
near the house in the early evening and
the FIRE may have been set by tramps. The
vanishing of the house was In progress
and it is possible that the fire may have
been caused by spontaneous combustion OF
the rags used by the workmen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shook intend to have the
house rebuilt Immediately, as the destruo-
ton of their home just as they were on
the eve of taking possession has caused
them considerable mental anguish

Entries Booked.

to Have I'm the Horse
Way.

All the boxes for the Omaha Horse Show
have been Sold although the date of the
show, October %, is nearly a month away,
and present indications are the show will
be the banner event of the year. Judging
from the entries received from abroad and
locally it will far outshine former Omaha
shows and will also range ahead of many
of the western shows. Joseph Cudahy has
already asked for the reservation of seven
stalls for his horses and large number of
others are following suit. so the chances
are the entry list will be something the d.
rectors may be proud~of.

Quality shows Improvement.

As far as quality goes, the class Of horses
TO be exhibited this year is far better than
were produced heretofore. Horsemen have
made giant strides in their efforts to get
the best that money can buy. Generally
in the frst year of a show everybody en-
tiers everything that looks like a horse;
1t is show Of quantity, not of quality.
After few efforts of this kind untutored
exhibitors learn that they cannot get a
blue ribbon without having a show horse.
Local exhibitors are well equipped as
to appointments. II is treat to see some
of the private stables in Omaha, and these
can be compared with any in the country.
1t Is an education II studied properly.
The Horse Show desires to have what is
correct in the line of appointments. The
uninitiated will probably not know that
there are no two classes In a horse show
that are alike. A horse may win In one
class and be shown in exactly the same
company with slightly altered conditions
and may not even be in the ribbons. Many
people do not understand this and think
because a horse wins in one class he ought
to win all through the exhibition. but
such is not the case.

TIMELY REAL ESTATE TALK
Carnival Season Interferes with Immediate
Sales Of Property.
FUTURE BUSINESS is MUCH STIMULATED
Enquiry is Good and the Prospects for
Continued Activity In Dirt
Deals Arc Most En-
couraginE.

While the carnival season is a happy
time for most people, and is in one sense
a happy time for the real estate dealers,
in that the annual success of Ak-sar-Ben
presages future prosperity for them. yet
they have some complaint to make on
the score of present business
For the last few days" said one agent.
II have scarcely been able to sell a
thing. All the, people either are enter
tanning friends or relatives from out in
the state. or they are preparing to enter
tain them. and they have neither time
nor inclination to look at property with
the idea Of buying or to list it for sale. I
have tried to find five or six men this
morning, and the fact that did not find
them traced indirectly to the Ak-Sar-
Ben festival"

Omaha Wen Fixed for Horses.

Omaha is well equipped as to horses
An early morning drive will show the best
horsemen out exercising their thorough
breds Possibly one freak of appointments
is a runabout class which is usually turned
out in nondescript manner. A runabout,
originally conceived. was meant to be a
roomy side bar drawn by a roadster with
a straight whip. no cushion and no formal
accessories more than the rope cooler and
tie-rope which all find useful in almost
any similar vehicle. Some clever dealef
however. made people believe that a heavy
English harness was correct. Gradually.
possibly from example. a dock-tailed horse
was used. Action in the horse was then
demanded. 1t is a common thing nova
days. especially in a runabout, to have a
severely bitted. high action horse that
will throw mud and dirt all over the occu-
pants OF the vehicle. Impracticable road
kits. cumbersome and fantastic, together
with a lash whip have become the uni
yersal style, Horse shows offer ribbons
and prizes for this OUTFIT. According to the
Omaha prize list the qualifications for a
Iunabout horse reads as follows: Horse
should be 1Ls to 1872 hands high. to be
judged by their conformation style and
finish. should be free and prompt drivers
with easy mouths and good manners. a
reasonable amount OF speed. straight and
true action. which need not be excessive.

Importance of the Right Thing.

Appointments are a great matter of argu-
ment at present There was a period when
the fad for so-called appointments ragged
persistently and contagiously, from It's very
fury Il went near to damaging what 1t
strove to advance. The fever ran out
finally, and now it's outbreaks have assumed
a mild, controllable form. AS after a dis
ease the general health is better. so after
the fury of appointments had run its length
the horse world found itself turned out in
a style and quality combined with a quiet
ness OF taste that II had never before
known. Appointments now have settled
down to a quiet elegance and have thus
experienced change OF heart which Is some
times depressing. To horse shows owners
owe all that they have in this line and
to culling Of expensive fashions once pop
ular has left this. as far as the details
of carriages, harness, ETC., the best equipped
nation on earth.
Personal taste L. allowed but slight
latitude ana fantastic designs are seen but
rarely. The judges have been educated
along latter-day lines and insist upon all
sensible appointments being complete and
thorough. These call for capacity for
making INFINITE pains. but tradesmen are
absolutely competent to attend to the
showmen's wants and Il would be the
height of folly for him to dedicate every
part OF his appointments or choice or or
nRmentatlon or color.

amounting to a decided advantage, that
the reality men do not overlook The
man who uttered the above complaint told
few minutes afterward of three men
from Nebraska towns who were preparing
to come to the carnival and who had
written him that they would take a day
with him to look at Omaha residence
property with the idea of investing. An
other agent told of a man who was think
ing OF making Omaha his place of perma-
nent residence, and who expected to look
at property while attending the festival.

The Victorian Cross of the Sea.

How often, in reading an account OF
some serious disaster at sea, one notices
The announcement that certain Of the
heroes OF the occasion have been awarded
Lloyds medal. 1t is the reward almost
comparable, In fact, to the little bronze
cross on which the two stimulating words
''for valour" are engraved which is pre-
sented on the recommendation OF the
commanding officer to The soldier who
does some deed OF special gallantry in
the face Of the enemy, or the sailor who
distinguished himself under similar con-
ditions. To the public, however. Lloyd's
medal does not convey so serious a mean
ing; perhaps because the recipients sell
dom wear It on their dress plain for all
folk to see" no doubt shrinking In nat
ural modesty from the display on ordi-
nary attire Of the record Of a deed which
involved the imperiling Of life and limb
from the overwhelming forces OF nature
instead OF from the bullets OF the enemy.
Lloyd's medals are two in number. The
older, which wac founded IN 1897, as made
in silver and bronze, and is awarded as
an honorary acknowledgment to those
who have, by extraordinary exertions,
contributed to the saving OF life at sea,
: while In 1893 II was decided TO give a
medal 10 ships officers and others who,
by standing by, have contributed TO the
preservation Of vessels and cargoes from
perils of all kinds. This latter emblem
Is In silver, though at first It was made
In bronze. The medal for meritorious
services is an oval one. The reverse
side bears the words Presented by the
Evening journal., 1906-08-02

Lloyds for meritorious services" and con-
tnins a scroll between the two inscrips
tionr on which the recipients name is
engraved. surrounded by a design OF oak
leaves, while the clasp by which the
medal is suspended is appropriately
formed OF two dolphins, with their tails
together encircling a ball.
1t need hardly be said that It would be
impossible for the committee OF Lioyds
to recognize all the heroic deeds which
add lustre to the story Of the sea; but
as Lioyds Is the center of information
connected with shipping, 1t may be taken
for granted that cases Of merit rarely es.
cape the notice OF the Institution. Ex-
tracts from the log, and the evidence of
the master or officers who have been res
cued, with In some cases a letter from
the captain commencing the conduct OF
various members OF the crew are generally
procured to serve as evidence on which
the committee may base its Judgment.
Since 1887, when the medal for saving
life at sea was Instituted, less than 121
medals have been awarded, so that the
average is barely two a year, though in
1901 IA medals were given. but most OF
them were for one ship. That the stand
ard is kept very high is evidenced by the
fact In 1900, and In 1893. and 1884 only
one medal was awarded in each one OF
these years, while in 1892 none were
given. The bronze medals are consider
ably more numerous, numbering as they
do some 300, while the medal Tor brave
service has been awarded TO considerably
less than a hundred recipients during
the dozen years ii has existed
