The South Omaha Board OF Fire and Po-
lice Commissioners met in regular session
last night. They found little to do except
60 urge the city council TO make a needed
Improvement In the fire service in Brown
Park by repairing the fire hall and re-
moving II to the new site. The council has
heretofore shown little disposition to act
in the matter. 1t was decided by the city
attorney that bonds could not be issued
for the erection OF a new fire hall without
an enabling act of the legislature. So the
board is now urging that the old hall be re-
paired and relocated so that the depart
ment may be in a position. to meet the APP
preach Of the cold season.
Permission was granted to Farmer &
O'Donnell to locate a temporary wire for
receiving election returns in their hall at
the back of the saloon. The board granted
the petition, provided the bar OF the saloon
close at midnight and that the owners Of
the saloon provide an officer and pay for

1cers, he announced that the next num-
Der on the program would be an exhibit
ton drill by company B, Royal Guards
under command Of Capt. Buerate Ben
ten. This was the signal for the pent-
up enthusiasm of the audience to loose
ftself-and 1t 'loosed' with q vim. The
drill which followed was marvel OF
beauty and precision and won for the
guards most hilarious approval. The
most difficult maneuvers and evolutions
known to military experts were gone
through with the ease and grace of
veterans. The uniforms? Well, they
are simply glorious. The bright scarlet
coats, with gold frogs; the caps also
of scarlet, with blue flap, gold cord
sling, the emblem of the order en-
broidered on the side; the white skirts
and shoes, all make q striking and
beautiful picture.
THE beautiful floor work of the in
stallation ceremonies was witnessed by
many officials of other fraternal or
CARNATIONS, and the guards were ten
dered an invitation to give an exhibit
ton drill for the grand fraternity. The
invitation was accepted, and on the
following Monday Gan open meeting of
the Grand Fraternity the guards
drilled in Oak hall, r. B. building, be-
fore large and appreciative audience.
This drill, for precision and efficiency.
was II possible better than their pre-
vious appearance. One of the Grand
Fraternity officials, who is also a MEM
Der of many other orders, voiced the
sentiment of the spectators when he
said to the guards: I have never seen
more beautiful drill figures, better drill
ing or prettier uniforms in any other
order In Los Angeles, and belong to a
great many of them. You may have
peers, but no superiors.'
1.-THE perfection and discipline of the
guards is due not alone to their en-
thusiasm and interest, but to the mas
ter-man who trained them-Courtier

refuses to reimburse the secretary. In
many instances the delinqent member

course secretaries should not make adj
