DRUGGISTS SEE DEN WONDERS
Paid Membership of Ak-sar-Ben
Ahead of the Same Time
Last Year.

The apothecaries Of the state were given
an object lesson in bacteria, bacilli, pure
foods and pure drugs and pure water at
the Den Monday night with a degree of
effectiveness that will be discernible IN
their convention at the Rome tonight.
About 100 Of them were given the seventy
seventh degree of K. Of N, and each OF
them is anxious to take the ninety-ninth
degree Wednesday evening, or will see
that belated arrivals to the convention do.
1t was a great night at the Den. exceeded
only by The Bell Ringers night Of a
week ago. 4
B. F. Thomas as grand multi. Fred Paf-
fenrath as the admiral and w. F. Wap-
pich as the sky pilot were never I'm finer
fettle. and the proceedings were fast and
furious from the start.
Being flag day, a startling and beautiful
surprise was sprung with an electric flag
from the stage, which brought forth the
most enthusiastic and deserved applause.
But the greater and pleasing surprise
was the announcement made by the grand
mutt that the paid membership Monday
night reached S36. as against $50 one year
ago Morday night. The announcement
was greeted with a cheer from ths 800 or
more brave knights assembled there.
The moving picture exhibition was edu-
cational as well as extremely interesting,
and necessarily curtailed the Oratory. The
only speakers were Dan ]. Killen Of
Adams. president of the Nebraska State
Pharmaceutical association, who was also
a member of the last Nebraska legislature
from Gage county. He predicted all sorts
OF success for the Ak-Sar-Ben of 1905. and
paid State Senator B. F. Thomas, the
grand multi, several nice compliments for
his zeal for Omaha, that caused Senator
and Postmaster Thomas to blush so lu-
ridly that the red lights turned yellow.
G. J. Fink OF Holdrege also spoke. his ad-
dress being especially distinguished by its
brevity OF three words.
The further announcement was made
that King Ak-Sar-Ben XIV would hold a
special audience with his knights on
Wednesday evening in honor of the gas
men OF Nebraska and the Dakotas and
elsewhere. who would hold a convention
In Omaha on that date. The gas people
will be given a trip around the horn with

while ~eXcavating George Cyphers found
twenty-three feet below the surface Of the
ground the head Of a monstrous buffalo
with horns attached. The skull measured
three feet two inches from the tip OF the
horns and each horn is one foot four
inches in circumference and no doubt a
part has erumbled away. The bones are
completely pctrified and on the broad fore
head Is a network OF holes which local
scientists say were probably made by
ancient slugs and spearhsads and this to-
gether with its deepth in the ground lead
people to believe that IL was killed cen
turtles ago. Old timers say Il is the largest
buffalo head ever seen and Il Is by far
the largest ever uncovered around these
parts. MT. cyphers has been offered vari-
Gus sums for the head, but refuses to sell.

Reports Indicate Rapid Growth
An the New Organise
ton.

Reports given at the second meeting of
the Omaha local of the State Railway EN-
ployes' Protective association in Labor
temple last evening showed that the mem
bership in the new organization has in
creased from 5000 to nearly 1900 in the last
two weeks.
President George E. Norman presided
and in a short speech epitomized the aims
Of the association.

he said. NOW we must stand up for our
employers against those who are persecut-
ing them. The Aldrich bill reduced rates
Is per cent. but meat is going up. rent is
going up, and 1t is easy to see what will
be the end unless We act, use our votes
and elect men who will stand up for u.s..
T. H. Crosby of the executive
told Of the progress OF work in organizing
locals Throughout the state He said they
had met better success than they even
dreamed Of" Nearly 1890 Of the 1900
railway employees in the state are already
members OF the association.
p. II. Morrison Of Fremont explained the
system Of collecting and accounting for the
money received from subscriptions.
W. H. f.. McDaniels took a rap at state
ments In an evening paper. purporting to
come from two members Of the Central
Labor union. who are alleged to have said
they would not permit the utilization OF
the Railway Employees Protective associa-
ton with the Central Labor union. He de-
clared the new association does not want
to be connected with any union. 1t wants
to be independent and bring it's power to
bear in politics. Think Of it," he said.

CONVENTION HALL. CHICAGO, June
le.-It required something besides a knock
on the door to enter the big coliseum and
see the republican party In convention as
sembled today. In the first place one had
to run the gauntlet Of hawkers, and vend-
ers Of all sorts Of cheap articles. who way
laid the badge-decorated delegates. Then
a vast army of policemen, all looking as
IL they suspect each approaching person,
had to be passed.
BY that time one OF the six spacious
entrances had been reached, but there the
real trouble began unless you were prop
eriy equipped. If you had a long green
ticket, which locke like a bank note and
bore the steel engraved picture OF Abraham
Lincoln and said that 1t was good only for
the first day. the stony-faced d~oorkeeper
might consider your application for admis-
sion, and eventually you were permitted to
pass through the portals and enter the vast
auditorium. AS the crowd grew in size the
vendors worked harder. the policemen were
not so critical and the doorkeepers passed
the ticket bearers with more speed.
Those who attended a Chicago convention
for the first time were not particularly i'm
pressed with the outside surroundings or
the exterior aspect of the Coliseum.
Wabash avenue in the vicinity Of the
building is not it's most inviting part. About
all the nearby buildings looked as II they
had survived the fire of 1s71. At IL O'Clock
the martial music Of approaching marching
clubs could be heard. and during the next
hour there waE continuous moving process
sions toward the hail. Traffic on the ave-
nue. stopped completely and the three blocks
on each side OF the Coliseum became choked
with delegates, spectators. newspaper men.
photographers. convention spectators and
outside sightseers.
The United States senator's. members Of
congress, governors and national commit
teemen had to find the side doors. They
were not permitted to enter through ad-
miring crowds. but hurrying round on the
south side they found a door which led to
a dark and not very inviting corridor under
the stage.
An hour before the convention began work
there were 1000 people gathered about the
Coliseum and every moment the crowd in
creased until 1t was difficult to even reach
the entrances

TBKAMAH. Heb., June l6.-CSpecial.)-
A. Blackman, from the Nebraska State
Historical society of Lincoln, has been here
the last few days. Yesterday he discovered
a grave on the reservoir hill. west of the
depot, covered with eighteen inches of burnt
clay, which contained the skeletons of five
Indians. the grave being about six feet
square.
Mr.. Blackman says that one OF these
skeletons must have been that of an Indian
chief. as the grave was on the highest
point of the hill. and also from the fact
that it must have taken several days. per-
haps months, with a fire going continually,
10 burn the ground TO such a depth. He
found two or three lower jaw bones with
the teeth intact, and as the teeth were worn
off a great deal IL was thought that these
Indians had lived to a grand old age
Several dispute the theory regarding one
OF them being a chief. They claim IL It
had been he would have been buried alone
instead Of with these other four. Upwards
Of twenty-five skeletons have been dug up
in the last ten years within 800 yards Of
the one found today. but never before was
there so many found in one spot.
