First Guardsman at Deming
To Die: Cause Appendicitis

Deming, N. NJ, Sept. Especial
Telegram The body of Fred Fess,
lo years of age, private Of Company
H, Third Minnesota infantry, who
died in the Camp Cody hospital, fol-
lowing an operation for appendicitis,
has been sent to his home in Renville,
Minn., near Olivia, where the COM
pany was raised. Mr.. Fess was the
first man of the troops from the FIVE
states here to lose his life. He was
given military funeral by his COM
pany, the chaplain of the regiment
conducting the services.

monument, along Pall-mall, and up in
to Piccadilly, where the crowd was
not so dense. Then they marched to
the American embassy, where they
passed the ambassador and Mrs. Page.
As each company marched past the
men came to the salute, and the move
ment was acknowledged by Mr.. Page.
Canadians at the Maple Leaf club
cheered hard and continuously as the
procession swung pas the em4
bassy.
At Buckingham Palace.
Perhaps the crowd was thickest and
most enthusiastic round Buckingham
palace, where the king, queen Alex
andra, Lord French and Lieutenant
General Sir Francis Lloyd stood at
the saluting base in front of the
massed bands of the Guards brigade.
AS the salute was given by each COM
pany in turn the king acknowledged
it, and the crowd burst into prolonged
cheering. One band played "The
Long, Long Trail," and the crowd
took up the refrain in great voice,
helping the strains of the brass with
a fine volume of sound. When the
Stars and Stripes came past the king
and all the military officers at the sa
iuting point paid the proper compli-
ments. ..
When most of the troops had gone
by motor car drove into the cleared
space in front OF the palace, and the
prince himself stepped out amidst
cheers, and walked briskly across to
the king, and stood beside him, until
the guard Of honor had been in
spected.
In the Green park the Americans
were given light luncheon at OPEN
air tables, and many OF their country
men mixed with them and stayed to
talk of their homes.
The Canadians were especially fra
ternal in their greetings for many of
them had friends in both forces, and
after all it is not far cry from Medi-
cine Hat to Missouri or from Montreal
to Massachusetts,.
The whole procession was an ex-
cellent argument in favor of our hav-
ing more of the same sort OF thing.
Why should not we see our own men
from Canada, Australia, New Zealand
and South Africa march through the
streetsl Yesterdays enthusiasm was
sufficient warranty that the London
public needs spectacle like this every
little while, and it would be a pretty
compliment if it could be arranged.
When the bands passed the cheering
grew louder than ever, Ind the pipers
of the Irish Guards, in brick-colored
kilt, and with Irish pipes, the stocks
deeked with emerald ribbons, received
a particularly hearty reception. The
bands OF the Guards, in full strength,
were distributed along the column,
and they played every appropriate air
their bandmaster could think of. The
opinion of the average man in the
crowd was that @it was a good show;
and it was pity that we did not have
more like it."

B.R.R.H! IT'S COLD
so Be PREP AIRED
Dreshers Have Warned You to
Be Equipped With Warmer
Winter Clothes.
Big Plant and Splendid Force
Ready to Grasp Your Cold
Weather Outfit and
Fix It Up.

You bet. Here it is on schedule
time. The cold spell that you laughed
at when predicted to you right along
by Dresher Brothers, Dyers, Cleaners,
Hatters, Furriers and Tailors, with
plant at 2211-2217 Farnam Street,
Omaha.
Yes, you were going to stave off
all winter cleaning work; you thought.
"Oh, well, it's warm yet and ] needn't
bother my head about cold weather
that's still in the future"
But it's due--that colder weather
you'll have warm days in plenty,
that's true, but you'll surely want to
be prepared for the cold days that
will be coming along occasionally be-
fore the steady freezing spell comes
on bit later.
Now then, ladies and gentlemen,
busy yourself. Men, have your over
coats, suits, ETC., cleaned, pressed and
nicely put in shape; ladies, have your
suits, skirts, dresses, furs, ETC., made
crisp and brilliant for the winter. It's
an economical plan. Beats buying new
clothes all hollow. Dreshers make the
clothes look so good that they'll pass
for new clothes anyway.
Do it. Send the clothes in now. Be-
fore the crowd jostles, surges and
clamors for jobs in a hurry. Dreshers
have the greatest plant of the kind in
the world, and if anyone can trans
form clothes or even re-style them
completely, it is the clever force at
Dreshers.
Dreshers pay express or parcel post
charges one way on any sized ship
ment anywhere. Phone Tyler 345 for
a man, leave your work at the plant,
2211-2217 Farnam Street, at Dresher
The Tailors, 1916 Farnam ST., or at
the Dresher branches in the Brandeis
or Burgess-Nash stores.--Adv.

We have taken pains to learn what
features men and women want. And
they are all in the latest Mitchells.
There are 81 features rarely found
in cars. These include a power tire
pump, dashboard engine primer, re-

There are understanding springs,

No. specified date for reopening of the case was asked in the Baseball Writ CTS Association resolution other than that prompt action be taken.
 MT.

It now appears that if MT.

GETTING AFTER ROWDIES
By Briggs.

President O'Neil Determined on Curb
 ing Growing Tendency Toward
 Wrangling in Eastern League.
 Hartford, June 2s.-President Dan O'Neil Is bound to cut out the wran- gling with umpires that seems to be prevalent through the league this season. At the meeting which he had with his arbitrators last Sunday he told them that 1t was up to them to make good and run the games in which they worked. He showed them that they were of use to him only as long as they ran the games in the proper manner. and made 1t plain to them that when they allowed players to get the best of them, they were of no more use as umpires than ball players who fail to produce tho goods. .e N;!2
 He advised them to use much stiffer hand in the future with play CTS objecting to decisions, and rum ming in from the field or the bench to hold an argument, and 1t is highly probable that there will be a batch of fines imposed every day until the players find out that the umpires and President O'Neil mean business.
