NEBRASKA CI~TY-someone cut the big
dixie. at the head Of the island, opposite
cons eit down tbe 9Sid aH Channel Of the river.
This dix was built a number OF years ago
to protect the long approach to the east
side of the Burlington bridge across the
Missouri river, at this point, and as soon
as the Burlington officials learned Of the
cutting OF the like they sent up a large
force of men and stopped the same before
any damage was done. Should the water
get to running down the old channel Of the
river, It would cut off the approach to
the Burlington bridge and destroy much
Of the farm land. This dixie was cut a

OMAHA IN THE LTMELIGHT
MODERN Woodmen Camp Wins Prise
and Green's Band Beats All
at Peoria.

Omaha has made the big noise at the
conclave of Modern Woodmen of America
at Peoria.
George Green's band, competing with
forty other of the best bands in the coun-
try. won first prize in the grand contest
as this sententious telegram to The Bee
relates:
First prize band contest Woodmen en-
campment Peoria tonIght.-George Green
The day before Mr.. Green left Omaha
for Peoria he came into The Bee edi-
torial rooms with that long-distance look
on his honest face, leaned over the city
| editors desk and gently whispered these
words, I'm going to win the money"
And as he thus whispered, Mr.. Green ex-
tended a letter from one of the Peoria en-
campmeut managers. urging him to come
and try his luck On the back Of the let
ter head were the photographs Of forty
bandmasters who were to compete and one
Of those photos was that Of the famous
John Philip Sousa.
Gee. L m going up against big game
calculated Cononel Green. but I'll do my
best"
Evidently 1t was modesty that forbade
Cononel Green stating in his telegram to
The Bee whether Sousa was among those
who 'slso ram"
The members OF Omaha camp. No. 10

over the success of the drill team

Answer-Because he has been provided

Hitherto the police reporters for the city
papers stood up to hear the trials. They
were not marked out from among the hoi
polloi. They listened to trials under con-
siderable difficulty.
Rumbles of discomfort arose from the
threats Of the three reporters a few weeks
ago. The rumbles became so loud that they
reached the ears of Sergeant Michael
Whalen and touched a chord in his big
Irish heart. He mentioned the matter 10
Judge Crawford. And then he slapped the
reporters on the back and declared he
was going to do something for them.
