Two bicyclists who were proceeding
along a lonely road between Dunross-
ness and Sumburgh, in Shetland, had
their attention drawn to a dead bird
which was suspended from a telegraph
wire by means of a stout cord, says
The Field. Upon closer inspection it
was found that the bird in question
was a black-headed gull. AS it was
dangling ten feet from the ground
some difficulty was experienced in re-
leasing it from the wire, but when this
had been effected further examination
disclosed the fact that it had met its
death in most unusual manner. At
one end of the line was a fish hook,
and this was firmly fixed to the in
terror of the upper mandible 1t Is

MAJOR MOVES QUITS STAFF
Adjutant General, Department of the
Missouri, VIII Return to
Line Duty.

\ Major Charles r. Noyes. for the last four
years a member of the general staff of the
United States army and adJutant general
of the Department of the Missouri, will be
relieved from staff duty and returned to
duty with the line April Z. The general
staff duty assignments last but four years.
Major Noyes succeeded Major E. j. Nc
Clernand as adjutant general of the De-
partment of the Missouri.
Major Charles r. Noyes is a graduate of
West Point Military academy of the class
of 1879, having been appointed from Wis
consin. He was first assigned to the
Twenty-fourth infantry as a second lieu
tenant and was later transferred to the
Ninth infantry He became a first lieu
tenant in 1857 and captain in 1898. He re-
ceived his majority in 1903. Prior to his
assignment to the general staff he served
with his regiment, the Ninth infantry,
throughout the Spanish American war and
in the Philippine and China campaigns.
The departure of Major Noyes and his
estmable family from Omaha will be very
generally regretted. 1t is not known just
at this time who will succeed Major Noyes
as adjutant general of the department
Neither is 1t definitely known whether he
will be returned to his old regiment, the
Ninth infantry, or assigned to some other
regiment of the line. His number in the
lineal rank of majors is pretty nearly the
top, and his promotion to the rank of lieu
tenant colonel cannot be very far delayed.

st. Joseph.

Instructions have been received at De-
partment of the Missouri headquarters
from the War department to furnish what
ever troops of the regular army may be
desired for the big military tournament to
be held in st. Joseph during the summer.

the government to make the st. Joseph
tournament even a greater success. The
tournament will include every variety of
military maneuvers, drills of cavalry, ar
tillery and infantry. fancy riding, target
practice and athletic tournament features

souri, staff said:
THE st. Joseph tournament last year had
the effect of bringing the army to the di-
rect attention of the people of the country
The troops taking part in the tournaments
conducted themselves in the highest degree
creditable. The men seemed inspired with
the highest esprit de corps, and each branch
of the service and each company or de.
tachment We'd with each other to command
the respect OF the visitors. The camps were
constantly thronged by visitors and the re-
spective contests between the various teams
in all manner of field and athletic sports
were highly commended. The tournament
this year will greatly exceed that of last
year in the number of troops and variety
Of entertainment. 1t will show the public
what the army is, and it is for this reason

passed some three months ago were to be
sentenced to oblivion by the first day of
March, are still on the streets of Omaha

When the ordinance was passed there
were five votes against it to seven for the

fight and with the provision that it was
not to be enforced until March /. When
that date arrived the friends of the vendors
OF fruit secured an order on the chief OF
police to allow them TO continue to ply
their trade until Wednesday Of next week.
In the meantime a motion to appeal the
provision is being prepared. This motion
for repeal will come up at the meeting
OF the council Tuesday evening. Council
men Bridges, Zimman, Funkhouser and
Jackson are understood to be in favor Of
repeating the provision.

GRIEF IS SUNK IN RED SEA
Sorrow Laden Father, whose SON
Loses Mittens, Asks for AM
other Chance.

Henry Wallace came TO the police station
very early Saturday morning suffering un-
der such a grief as scarcely ever comes to
mortals. He told his story to Night Ser
geant Marshall. Last fall, he said, he had
bought his 13-year-old son a pair Of mlttens.
In his own boyhood, said Wallace, they
would have lasted through the winter with
proper care But his son one day lost tho
mittens.. This terrible calamity bowed the
father with grief. but his strong character
asserted itself, gradually he recovered and
became almost his old self.
Being a kind parent and not wishing his
son to freeze his fingers, he then bought
him a new pair Of mittens and presented
them to him with much good advice upon
the beauties of carefulness.
Time passed, as 1t is accustomed to do.
and then one day a second blow fell upon
the unhappy father. His son lost the sec
ond pair of mittens. This was to much for
Wallace and he sought in the words OF the
sergeant, ''to drown his grief in the Red
sea-"
Wallace asked to be allowed to stay at
the station all night in order that he might
be on hand to present his sad case to the
Juvenile court in the morning. He was
discharged in police court.

CLUBS MUST HAVE LICENSE
Otherwise They Can Dispense No
Liquor, Rules Judge Estelle,
FIELD CLUB WILL APPEAL CASE
Court Holds that to Permit Social Or
ERaisatiOns to Sell LiquOr with
cut License wOuld violate
Motto of state,

Under decision rendered by Judge
Estelle of the district court Satur-
day morning, a social club which
dispenses liquors must pay a reg
ular liquor license to the city. The deci-
sion came in the case filed a short time ago
by the Omaha Field club to test the action
of the fire and police board in ordering
ali theAe clubs to pay a license or quit
selling Nquor. Judge Estelle sustains the
position Of the board and holds the dis
pensing of liquors by the clubs Is a sale
within the meaning Of the law and there
fore the clubs must secure licenses.
G. w. Fields, who represents the Field
club, announced he would appeal to the
supreme court from Judge Estelles decl-
sion. In case the higher tribunal upholds
Judge Estelle it is estimated fifty or more
clubs in Omaha and South Omaha will
have to procure licenses either from the
city or the county. The last grand jury
returned indictments against the officers
of the Tel jed Sokol society for selling
liquor without a license and the trial of
these indictments will constitute a second
test of the license law as applied to clubs
The Field club suit was brought to en-
join the county and city officials from
interfering with the dispensing of liquor
at the club house. The petition stated,
owing to order Of the fire and police board
the county attorney and the police were
threatening to arrest the club officers for
violation of the law and the officers had
refused to dispense liquors. 1t contended
the law was not intended to apply to
clubs, and that the furnishing of liquors
by the club to its members was not sale
in the meaning of the law.
SquareIy Against the Club.
In this contention Judge Estelle held
squarely against the Field club attorneys
He also held that club members were
subject to the same laws and regulations
as those who could not afford to belong
to clubs, and no class could be immune
from the operation of the law.
"The motto of this state" he said, 'ls
Equality Before the Law and by no pro-
cess of reasoning or definements of logic
can we come to any other conclusion but
that the statute means that nobody shall
sell liquor without first procuring a
license. That the transactions with the
clubs are sales cannot be doubted; we all
know they aIe sales. To except clubs
from the operation of the law would be
to set up a class immune from the oper-
alton of the law. This is unamerican and
is contrary to the fundamental spirit of
our state expressed in its motto"
The question arose on a demurrer to the
petition and Judge Estelle sustained the
demurrer and refused to issue the in
junction.
