CHAPTER XVIII.
"Pack Up Your TroubIes."

we arrived at SWlnemun0e, on fGe
east bank, and after we had had CUR
drink of water and had been rouse ed
back into the bunkers, BadeWitZ went
across to the west side in a launch
with Joyce and Hill and a guard Of
sailors. They were to be shot the
next morning, with some others, at
public shooting-fest. The rest of US
wrapped ourselves in Jumps of coal as
best we could and tried to sleep.
In the morning crowds of Germans
came aboard us and were turned
loose on the boxes in the hold. It
was a sight to see them rip off the
covers and gobble the salami and 9th
er stuff that we carried. Table man
ners are not needed when there is nc

them, you would say these Germans
did not even have trough manners.

icky.
While they were at it, hand to hand
| with the chow, giving and receiving
terrible punishment, we prisoners
were mustered on deck, counted,
kicked onto tugs and transferred to
the west bank, where the mob was
waiting for us. My wounds, as you
can imagine, were in a pretty bad
state by this time, and were getting
more painful every minute, so that
found I was getting ugly and anxious
for an argument. I knew that if ]
stayed this way I would probably
never come out alive, for there is
every chance you could want to pick
quarrel while you gre prisoner
that will mean freedom for you-but
only the freedom of going west, which
l was not anxious to try.
VIII we got near the west bank
on the tugs, we could see that we were
up against a battle with our arms tied
Over half the crowd was women anG
children, I should say, and the res
were laborers and old ciyvies, and re

BadeWltZ, who began hauling him be-
fore the sentry even had told his
story. After while Badewitz quit |
pounding the cook, and listened to the
sentry. Then Badewitz said the cook
had put note in the dixie before he
dropped it, SO they beat him up again
and put him in irons. After that they
sent the rest of the cooks back, and
would not let them on deck again.
They had plenty of canned goods and
meat aboard, but they would not give
us any.
Five of the men were buried at sea
that day. More men were going mad

And every once in a while some one
Of US would begin to act queer. May
be he would let out howl suddenly,
without any warning. Or he would
just quit talking and begin to sneak
around. Or he would squat down and
begin to humble. We could not tell

his mind. He would seem just like
the rest of US, because none Of us was
much better than a beast.

MINERAL MATTER FOR SWINE
Mixture Of Charcoal, Salt, Ashes, Sui

1t has been asserted by various eX-
perienced feeders of hogs that a mix
ture of charcoal. ashes, lime, salt, sui
phur and copperas kept where the hogs
can eat it will tend to prevent worm
infestation. There is no positive eX-
perimental evidence, however, in sup
port Of the idea that such a mixture
will prevent worm infestation, and it
is of value therefore us a source of
mineral matter in the diet, and per-
h.ipS as an appetizer and tonic, rather
than as a worm preventive. A bal
anced ration may furnish all the nee
essary feed nutrients, yet the system
of the hog Graves mineral matter. The
mineral matter is not under control,
and in order to make sure that the
hogs have an abundant supply, free ac
cess should be given to q mineral mix
ture. The following is formula for
such a mixture:

New Hearing Asked
ByDwyer in Suit to
Annul His Marriage

Francis Dwyer filed a motion in
district court yesterday asking for a
new hearing of his suit to have his
marriage with Clara Dwyer an
nulled. He alleges that she has
more than one-eighth negro blood
and that therefore their marriage is
invalid.
Their case attracted much atten-
ton in district court where. two
weeks ago, Judge Troup decided
that there was mo- evidence to prove
that Mrs. Dryer has one-eighth of
negro blood. Her father, Douglas
McCary, testified that he is white
man though his appearance indicates
that he has negro blood.
Mr.. Dwyer states in his motion
for new trial that he did not an
ticipate that his her-in-law would
deny that he has negro blood. He
says he has discovered since the
hearing that Mr.. McCary had &C
knowledged himself in Washington
and Omaha to belong to the negro
race; that his brother was married
to a negro woman by a negro min
lister and belonged to negro
church; that Mr.. McCary was
cashier of bank in Washington,
organized and operated by negroes;
and that Mr.. McCary's mother, now
living in Washington, is known as
belonging to the negro race.

Telegraphers Of Civil
War to Hold Reunion
In Cleveland in Fall

The United States military tele-
graph corps will hold its annual re-
union in Cleveland, O., September
1912, jointly with the Old Timers
association, and according to advices
from the Office of the general secre-
tary, this will probably be the last
reunion, as the survivors of the two
organizations have become too aged
to withstand the travel to such
meetings.
Members of the United States
military corps are the men who
worked wires during the war of the
rebellion nearly 90 years ago, and
so far as is known, but one resides
in o maha. This man is Ten Eyck
H. Fonda. He does not expect to
attend the convention.
The late Edward Rosewater was
one of the prominent members of
the association.
Of the veteran telegraphers OF
the COS, numerous descendants saw
service in France during the recent
war, and a considerable number OF
them rest beneath the fower-cov-
cred fields of Flanders. Of these
1t. Scott Mccormick is one. He
was an Omaha boy, 26 years old, a
grandson of Ten Eyck H. Fonda
and a son of Harry Mccormick.

DEMAND
EXPLANATION BY
CITY COUNCIL
Protest Reducation of BouIe.
ward Funds When Wheel
Tax Raises Additional
Money for Streets.

The municipal affairs committee of
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Omaha Automobile club insist that
the city council shall explain why
$4,000 revenue already received this
year from the collection of wheel
tax, has not been distributed to the
street and boulevard maintenance
funds, as stipulated in the wheel tax
ordinance.
The paradoxical explanation Of
Tered by City Commissioner IRE of
the department of accounts and f.
nance, is that the. wheel tax money
has been credited to street and bou-
levard maintenance funds, and yet it
has not been so credited.
Mr.. IRE stated that when the city
budget was made UP by the city
commissioners last January it was
understood that proposed reduc-
tons of the street and boulevard
maintenance funds would not be
made because $4,000 was antici-
pated from wheel tax collections.
What actually occurred in effect
was that these fupds were cut to
the extent of then expected wheel
tax money and then the wheel tax
was added in, making the net re-
suit in the budget the same as last
year.
The Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee and the Automobile club
argue that the funds in question
should have been increased this year
to the extent of the wheel tax col
lections.
: City Commissioner FOWL has
raised his voice against what he be-
lieves to have been a questionable,
though quite legal, procedure.
