Omaha, Sept. 20.-The first show of

were arrested, charged with riotous
conduct. Fifty-four men were brought
to the city from Chicago and it is IN
derstood 400 more are expected to ar
rive tomorrow. During the afternoon
$50 strikers paraded through the prin-
cipal streets. Union leaders claimed
200 other men are out. A crowd of e.
OOO, including many women, gathered
and jeered the car crews. The trolIeys
were pulled off and ropes cut so that
the conductors were compelled to climb
on top of the cars to replace the troll
leys. One loose trolley pole caught the
trolley wire and broke 1t, allowing the
ends carrying a heavy current to drop.
Fortunately the crowd saw the danger

LIKE FOREIGN SERVICE.
U. S. Soldiers Anxious for Philippine
and Hawaiian Experience.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-The pros
pectfve orders for the detail of new
regiments to the Philippines to take
the place of those now there, which
will be issued when General Bell.
chief of staff, returns to Washington,
caused an army officer to refectively
remark that every day in the year
some part of the American army is
pot" he said, 1.-The army as an insti-
tuition remains stationary, but the
contents keep moving all the time"
The soldiers assignment to foreign
possessions of the United States is
limited to two years. This, however,
does not include the time occupied in
going and coming, which, with the
modern transports of today is re-
lieved of much of the discomfort and
hardship suffered years ago. Two
nations having soldiers detailed in the
tropics to be about all that white
men can stand without suffering men
tai and physical deterioration.
The American soldier, as a rule
likes the Philippine service, not only
because of its foreign character,
but for the reason that he gets extra
pay for that detail and it counts dou-
BILE in computing time of service for
retirement. Travel and the prospect
of seeing new things please him also.
Three-fifths of the approximately
$4,000 enlisted men in the army, who
are stationed With nthe territorial
limits of the United States are located
in more than $50 posts, some of them
in the centers of population and 9TH
ers on the frontier, and in remote cor
ners, with the number of men in
charge ranging from a dozen officers
for ungarrisoned posts to a regiment
or more.
In the Philippines. the men are
much more scattered and in localities
that are not so easily accessible as in
the United States. Hawaii is the most
popular of all the foreign stations. 1t
affords an ideal location for an army
post, but soldiers there feel the lack
of a nearby city of any pretensions,
the main relief from army routine
being the arrival and departure of
ships.
1.-The lot of the soldier today" said
a well known army officer who has
risen from the ranks, sis far in ad
vance of what it was when I was a
private. Frontier posts are not SO
isolated, communications are easier,
opportunities for personal conven-
fence and improvement Intellectually
have increased, and in many other
ways army life is at a higher level,
and the soldier is In every way far in
advance of the private soldier of the
European armies"

A POLAR CHRISTMAS.
Prof. Mcmillan Tells How 1t Was
Observed.

Sydney, Sept. 20.-The story of
Christmas day in the Arctic was pic
tured by Commander Peary. Some
athletic contests were arranged by
Prof. Mcmillan and a running course
of seventy-five yards on the ice and
snow was laid out beside the Roose-
welt which then lay in the ice cradle at
Cape Sheridan.
Christmas day falls in the dead of
the Arctic night and to light the racing
path little whale oil lamps were set on
snow mounds at intervals of fifteen
feet. In the Pickering yellow light this
weird company hooded and CARRIED in
the heavy furs of the north gathered
and applauded the contestants.
Tub Cub Nah won the race for the
married women and Professor McAIil-
Ian had offered the selection of one I
three things as the prize-a bar of SOAP
a box of thread and a frosted cake.
I'VE were all curious to know which
article Tub Cub Nah would select
said Mcmillan. IT knew 1 would take
the frosted cake if it had been my
choice, but she quickly took the soap.
Poor Ross Marvin, won the foot race
for the Americans, while Sigloo won the
race for the Eskimo men.
THE holiday was ffttingly observed
on the Roosevelt and while musk OK
took the place of turkey, there were all
sorts of buildings and sweet meats on
the table.
I'VE had Washington pudding and
plum pudding and Captain Bartlett
opened locked canister of good things
which his wife quietly gave to me Le-
fore we left the south and told me to
give it to her husband on Christmas
day. I found that Mrs. Peary had
worked the captain the same way and
had given him locked canister for ms
to be opened on Christmas day We had
hot toddy and cigars for all. All the
members of the party received a bnX
of candy from Mrs. Peary."

M'CANN ON HAND.
Chicago Inspector Tries to Explain
Graft Charges.

Chicago. Sept. 20-Police Inspec-
tor Edward Mccain, charged with
grating resumed the stand in his
own behalf at his trial here.
Mccain outlined in detail plans he
inaugurated for the control of illegal
establishments in his district at
the time he took charge OF the Des-
plains street police station. He told
of the method of procedure in the
case of women arrested in these
houses. Many of these women, ne
said, were allowed to go without their
names being written in the arrest
book, satisfactory guarantees OF ~
ture good conduct being given. The
inspectors stated that he had fire.
quent occasion to make arrests OF
women living at houses owned by
Louis Frank, the chief witness
against him.
ly that he had ever collected or caus-
ed to collect, money from owners or
Illegal establishments.
Coming at the height of the tria! Oh
Inspector Mccain for alleged grating,
the news of the action based on alleged
tampering with the jury lists cause
great excitement in legal and po1tlcal
circles. The complaints on which the
warrants were issued were drawn up
by q special agent of the states attor-
ney, who has been investigating the
Jury drawing methods for weeks.
When the warrants were issued suit
poenaes were also sent out from the
court for the production OF all records
documents and papers of the jury com
mission, which will be inspected in
search of evidence against the accused
men. The states attorneys men re-
manned silent concerning the details or
the allegations against the accused
men, but in criminal court circles the
action was regarded as the forerunner
of wholesale expose of alleged con-
spiracies which may have affected the
drawing of other grand and petit juries

ment being unsuccessful, w. E. Bolton,
one of the old time cattlemen and for
years secretary of the Oklahoma Cat
telmen's association, is thought to be

most at the opening of the country.
He settled at Woodward, where he
started the Woodward News. He as
sisted in the organization of the Okla
homa Cattlemen's association and

cattlemen of the country, and was
probably one of the best posted men
in the west on the cattle industry

WOULD PROFIT HEIRS.
Insurance Company Would Give En-
tire $4,000 to Sarbach Estate.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 2O.-The
Great Western Life Insurance COM
pany, which issued policies to the
amount of $4,000 on the life of Al
bert Sarhach, of Holton, denies the
right of Sam B. Strother, the public
administrator of Jackson county, to
take charge of the life insurance of
Sarbach. The company says it de-
sires to pay the $1,000 made payable
to the estate to the trustees recog-
nized by the Kansas courts. Judge
William Thomson, attorney for the
Great Western company, said:
I'VE do not see what right the
Jackson county administrator has to
take charge of anything, simply be-
cause Mr.. Sarbach died in Kansas
City. Sarbach was a Kansan. The
administrator would be entitled to a
fee of 5 per cent of all the money
handled, which is an unnecessary
hardship on the family. We are ready
to pay, but not to the administrator
here, unles the courts say So We
have paid the $4,000 made payable
to the brother"
Strother secured letters from the
probate court here the day Sarbach's
body was found. He followed it i'm
mediately with a suit against the in
surance company for the money that
was payable to the estate.

SINGERS BLACKMAILED.
Forced to Pay for Applause or Else
Receive Kisses.

New York, Sept. 20.-Detectives
have been retained to break up an
organization of men who are said to
have netted a considera BILE income
from grand opera singers who prefer
applause to Kisses. Rumors several
seasons old that certain opera singers
employed persons in the audience to
applaude them were given credence by
the arrangements of the Metropolitan
and Manhattan opera houses when
they declared that such singers had
been the victims of b1ackmail and that
whatever money they had given was
more to prevent being Kissed than to
obtain applause.
According to several we'll known
singers they had been approached by
members of this band who had plainly
informed them that unless they paid
for applause their singing would be
Kissed. Experience showed that those
who did not pay were Missed. The
managers declare that they will break
up the practice.
