THOUSANDS SEE The DRILLS
Omaha Pays Tribute to the Famous
Second Cavalry.
OLD FORT CROWDED WITH PEOPLE
Aside from the Cavalry Maneuveri

less TeIeErnphy.

Never has there been such a crowd of
people on the Fort Omaha military reser-
walton as was assembled there Friday az
ternoon 10 enjoy the closing drill Of the
famous Second United States cavalry. Con-
gervative estimates place the number be-
tween 10000 and 1900. The Florence street
car line beyond Ames avenue was not able
to the crowds and many peo-
pie walke to the Fort on Thirtieth street.
Several special cars took out a host OF
the delegates to the League of American
municipalities convention, and among other
distinguished guests was Governor Sheldon
who was given the honor Of the governors
salute Of eleven guns upon his arrival on
the grounds.
The mounted drills were much the same
as those of Wednesday and Thursday af-
ternoon, the entire regiment, except Troop
NJ, participating in the saber exercises. The
fancy mounted drill by Troop M, the
"Gray Horse" troop, was more elabo-
rate than that given the two proceed
ing afternoons and included the saber ex-
ercises given at a full gallop. The intricate
winding evolutions Of the troop were given

unstinted applause as were the evolutions
Of the entire command.
Wireless TelegraDhy Tests.
Following the drill a public demonstra-
ton Of wireless telegraphy as given under
the direction of Lieutenant w. N. Haskell,
Nassisted by Sergeant Yergerson and Opera
tor Gilpin at the temporary field station and
Corporal Adams and Private Robbins at
the big wireless tower. The demonstration
was given just west of the balloon station.
After the conclusion of the exercises of
the afternoon, Colonel Glassford enter
tanned a number of the distinguished visi-
tors at his official residence on the Fort
Omaha grounds.
The pleasure of the afternoon was some
what marred by a heavy wind blowing,
carrying with it volumes of dust, making
1t extremely disagreeable for the spectators
near the r~oadways. The dust did not in
~terfere with a full view of the drill, as the
evolutions were1 carried out on the parade
ground, which has a heavy mat Of grass.
In connection with the wireless telegraph
] experiments, 1t may not be generally known
that the Signal Corps OF Fort Omaha holds
the worlds record for long distance wireless
field telegraphy. This record was made
last fall between Council Bluffs and Omaha
by a detachment under command Of Cap
tain G. b, Hepburn.

HULLEss OATS OF ENGLAND
Exhibit VIII ne Made by Johnny Buu
at National Corn Ex-
position.

England will show huiless oats at the
Naional Corn exposition and the kernels
will all be sterilized. that no one may get
hold OF half a dozen Of them and make a
fortune producing the hulless variety be-
fore the plant breeding station OF Great
Britain arc ready to give the wonderful
grain to the world.
II an American farmer could get a hand
full Of the pats which will be exhibited by
England. within six years it is estimated
the farmer would realize from $500 TO
soc, 900 on the oats which he could produce
from the seed, provided the varied climate
and soils Of America will produce the new
variety.
But England is TO take no chances on
the seed getting distributed and the life of
every grain will be extinguished before
the oats are brought to Omaha.
The producing Of a hulless oat means a
great saving in milling. The big cereal
mills of America will welcome the advent
Of the oat which will mean such a de-
crease in the cost OF milling. The devel-
opment of the variety thus far show that
such oats will have great commercial
value, and 1t is hoped the oats will prove
adaptable to the varied climates and soils
Of othe United States.
The management of the exposition has
received the assurance of Prof. T. r
Carton OF the leading plant breeding sta.
ton in Europe, that England will make
an exhibit showing the progress made dur.
Ing twenty-seven years of careful plant
breeding. Prof. Carton will attend the
| exposition himself and deliver a lecture or
How New Breeds of Farm Plants Are
Obtained"
Among the accomplishments Of Prof
Carton and his assistants in the great plan
breeding stations of Europe, is the cross.
ing Of the wild oat with the cultivated
varieties, which has produced a vigorous
plant with a strong, rust resisting straw
as well as a large, plump berry.
Secretary Of Agriculture James Wilson
and D.. B. T. Galloway, chief of tn,
bureau Of plant breeding Of the depart
ment. have appointed A. B. Shamel, corr
breeding expert, as the special representa-
tive to the National Corn exposition. Mr.
Shamel is a former Illinois man and ha
a large experience in corn breeding an,
Judging. In Omaha he will be superin
tendent of Judges at the National Corr
exposition. Mr.. Shamel is the author o
standard works on the corn plant an,
other agricultural subjects.

speaker OF the house OF representatives
but they served effectively in the natioua.
campaign. The democratic managers scat.
tered copies OF them all over the country,
with the purpose of showing that Blaine
had used his influence In the house of rep.
resentatfves in favor of corporations, and
had profited largely in consequence On
the strength Of these letters, he was ac-
cused of having received $4,000 from the
Union Pacific Railroad company for SER
vices rendered.
There were other accusations, also based
on documentary evidence. that he was in
terested In the Credit obilier company.
The charges against him were, IN effect.
like those brought against Garfield in 1880.
and now against Senator Foraker. The
story of the Mulligan letters was brought
out in 1876, when the democratic house of
representatives passed a resolution provid-
ing for the investigation Of an alleged pur-
chase OF certain railroad bonds by the
Union Pacific company. It was evident
that the investigation was directed against
Blaine. At the second or third meeting of
the committee, many OF Blaine's letters to
Warren Fisher, jr,, Of Boston were pro-
duced by James Mulligan. who had col
lected and indexed them very carefully. Be-
fore they were read publicly, Blaine secured
control of the letters, which were supposed
to show that the charge against him was
well grounded; and on June g. 1875, he made
a dramatic defence IN the house Of repre-
Bentatiyes by reading some OF the letters.
His defence was satisfactory to the repub-
Leans Of his own state. A month later he
was appointed by the governor Of Maine as
a member Of the United States senate, 20
fiji the vacancy caused by the appointment
OF Senator Lot Morrill, as secretary of the
United States treasury, and was elected for
a full senatorial term in 1881.

The Stomach Does
Not Cause Dyspepsia
Neither Will 1t Cure 1t Because The
Lack of Gastric Juices
Prohibit Relief.

The stomach Is a strong, powerful or
gan, which is composed OF muscles Of
great strength. 1t is filled during dlges-
ton with gastric juices which. when the
stomach. extending and COMPRISING the
food, dissolve 1t and separate the nourish-
ment from the waste matter. II however,
these gastric juices are lacking. the stom-
aoh Is not capable OF digestins the food
because 1t has not the tools with which to
work successfully.
The gastric juices when In a perfect
state do away with all foul odors, fermen-
tation and decay, reduce the food to a dis
integrated mass and the stomach then
presses Il into the intestines where another
form of digestion takes place.. Then the
intestines take from this mass of food ali
that is nourlshing and give II to the blood.
The waste matter is thrown from the
system.
II instead OF nourishment the intestines
receive impure deposits combined with a
poisonous and imperfect gastric Juice. II
can be readily seen that they must turn
such imperfect nourishment into the blood
The blood then being unable to give each
part of the body that which 1t requires
becomes impoverished and disease is spred
broadcast
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets corrects such
a condition at once. II the gastric juices
are lacking and imperfect these tablets dc
their work just the same. They build uI

CHICAGO. Oct. Some man was shot and
several were injured in a street Fight here
today, which, 1t Is said, grew out of fac
tional differences between the Internationa
Brotherhood of Transfers and the United
Transfers Of America. Cooney Gary, busi-
ness agent Of the Van Transfers union,
received a bullet wound. John Sheridan,
president, and w. H.. Ashton, secretary of
the United Transfers. were arrested. The
fight, which took the form of a street riot
at Milwaukee and Western avenues, is said
to have grown out of the struggle of John
c.. Drlscoll to regain control of the Team
sters' union. Warrants for the arrest of
two other men, alleged to be members of
an entertainment committee, were sworn
out.

a large number of women were grouped
about the field station which was located
a short distance west OF the hydrogen gas
plant. A large steel gas retort is being
built just adjacent the gas generating house
and a number Of men was employed driv-
ing and clintching bolts In the tank. The
pounding inside the tank could be distinctly
heard at the field station and, mistaking
the noise for the clicking OF the wireless
messages. one woman vouchsafed the in
formation: who would have thought that
the messages could make such a noise.

RHEUMATIC PAINS

Go to my good prescription drug
gist and get the following:
One ounce Compound Syrup Of
S~arsaparilla, n One ounce Toris
Compound. Add these to a half
pint of first lass whiskey. and use
a tablespoonful before each meal
and at bed time. The bottle must
be well shaken each time.
r Although This is seemingly a
commonplace formula, yet 1t is the
most effective known for the eradi-

SPRINCINC CAMPAIGN BOMBS
Amazing Power of Explosive Letters
in Presidential Contests.
INCIDENTS OF FORMER CAMPAIGNS
Recollection of the Stir Caused by
the MOrey Forgery In 1886 and
the MuIIignn Letters In
SS4

The Archbold- Foraker letters and the
blowing up and out Of Oklahoma's governor
serve to recall similar episodes in the cam
paigns of 1880 and 1884. Garfield, the re-
publican candidate in 1880, was obliged To
abandon the campaign issues for a time,
and give his attention to defending himself
against the ATTACKS. made upon him on ac-
count OF his alleged connection with the
Credit-Mobille scheme, the so-called salary
grab, by which the salaries of members OF
congress were increased, and the charge
that he had, while a member of congress
accepted 5000 to vote, In favor of a bill
Of the Board of Public Works of wash
ington to pave the city with the De Gclyer
wood pavement. Towards the end Of the
campaign he had to spend much Of his time
in denying the authenticity of the famous
Morey letter.
In 1884, James C. Blaine. the republican
candidate. was forced to devote most OF
his stump speeches to explanations of the
'Mulligan letters" He had explained in
detail, while he vas speaker in the house
of representatives, but he had to go all
over the matter again when he was a pres
idential candidate. Moreover, he met with
several unfortunate incidents in the course
of his campaign. notably the Burchard in
cident, which. his friends have ever since
asserted, was responsible for the loss of
New York state, and his defeat. More
letters turned up in the campaign of 1883
which attracted public attention. Among
these were the Dudley ''bloeks-of-five let
ter and the "Sackville- West letter; both
undoubtedly had some effect IN the cam
paign of that year. Sensational letters and
incidents have also figured in state and in
city campaigns.
