VETERANS OF SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR
EXPECT TO ORGANIZE BIG CAMP HERE
Colonel Arthur C. N. Fairlamb, National Organizer,
of New York City, Here Friday and 25
Veterans Have Signed as Members
CniOAGO LADY WANTS IIEB,
CHILD.
An United Spanish War Veteran
camp is to be organized in Hones
dale on Monday evening, April 7,
at the armory. The possibility of
the Immediate organization in
Honesdale has been made by the
work and influence of Eugene V.
Coleman, whose endeavors are now
bearing fruit. On Friday last Col.
Arthur C. N. Fairlamb, of New York
City, national organizer and nation
al aide-de-camp to commander-in-chlof
Oscar T. Taylor, of Pittsburg,
chaplain of the Old Guard Camp, No.
19, department of New York and
Past Department Inspector of New
York, arrived in Honesdale for the
purpose of perfecting an organiza
tion here. Col. Fairlamb only
recently organized three camps in
West Virginia. One was located at
Huntington, another at Wheeling
and tho third at Charleston. Many
of the men were prominently identi
fied in various walks of life, among
whom were Captain C. Durdette,
champion rifle shot of the World,
Adjutant-General C. D. Elliott, Cap
tain S. B. Avis, J. G. Karnoy, John
M. Derrick and several others. The
above gentlemen are members of
Kanawha camp, Charleston. Col.
Fairlamb has organized camps in
New York city, Philadelphia, Harris
burg, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton.
From Honesdale ho is going to Pitts
ton, hoping to also organize a camp
at that place. The organization Is
now 50,000 strong. Wilkes-Barre
is planning to entertain the next en
campment, which will be held early
In June. Honesdale will send dele
gates. Col. Fairlamb has obtained the
names of the following Honesdale
and gentlemen of other places who
have a camp in Honesdale, conse
quently Col. Fairlamb was sent hero
to start an organization of this
character. Mr. Fairlamb desires to
organize Plttston, Carbondale and
Honesdale in ten days and from
what we have seen of the gentleman
we will say that he can do it.
On Wednesday evening the instal
lation will take place at tho armory.
It will be public. Probably Depart
ment Commander Eskine L. Salmon
and Department Adjutant Dr. Chas.
M. Turpln, of Pennsylvania, will be
here and participate in tho doings.
Grand Army Republic and other
speakers will make addresses. Tho
elected officers will be known as
camp commender, senior vice com
mander, junior cbmmander, officer
of the day, ofllcer of the guard, throe
trustees; appointed officers: Adjut
ant, quartermaster, chaplain, his
torian, senior and junior color ser
geants. Tho now camp will partici
pate in Memorial Day exercises.
In several of the states beneficial
legislation for the veterans and their
dependants have been obtained. In
New York state there Is a poor law
which makes it possible for camps
to pay out money in cases of dis
tress and need. Vouchers are prop
erly signed and they are turned over
to the city treasurer by the Spanish
War almoner, who receives from the
city treasurer after proper inves
tigation of the account at given per
iods, which is then distributed to the
camps and given back to the treas
ury for further use.
A bill similar to this is being ad
vocated in this state. It is necessary
for every locality to have camps
where they will advance tho interest
of this bill.

Bright Little Lad in Homo of Mr.
and Mrs. M. F. Heft of This Bor
ough, Was Given Into Their Cnro
and Possession, They State
By Father of Boy.
The motive of tho arrival hero of
a well-dressed, attractive young
Chicago woman on Wednesday, ac
companied by a young detective of
that city, becamo apparent when
County Detective John M. Decker in
vestigated tho case. The County
Detective was called to a local phar
macy Wednesday evening where the
woman and her police consort wero
met by tho Chicago lady's sister-in-law,
Mrs. M. E. 'Holt, of this bor
ough, accompanied by a boy, about
three and a half years of age.
Tho tot, named Frederick Powell,
immediately recognized the strange
lady, who proved to be his mother.
The boy is a pretty child and has
become tho favorite of many since
ho came here with Mrs. Heft, tho
latter having visited her brother in
Chicago not long since. Mrs. Heft
states that the child was given Into
her possession and care by her broth
er, who Is a dentist In the Windy
City.
The mother of the child was told
by the county detective that she
could not possibly obtain possession
of it unless she would apply to the
local court. It Is said the law of
Pennsylvania is to the effect that
proceedings In habeas corpus can
only be instituted in tho jurisdiction
of the court where the child is found.
The boy, It must be stated in jus
tice to Mr. and Mrs. Heft, has been
provided proper care and affection
by his kin here and has been feeling
quite at homo since in Stroudsburg4
It has been learned that divorce
proceedings have been begun, in
Chicago, on the part of Dr. Powell
against his wife.
There is a report to the effect that
tho Powells separated because of the
alleged neglect of the child at the
hands of the mother, who it is al
leged paid too much attention to the
demands of society leaving her son
In the care of nurses. Mrs. Powell
strongly denies this, however, ad
admittlng the separation, also the
commencement of divorce proceed
ings. Tho child is at present in pos
session of the Hefts awaiting legal
disposition of the' case.
Later On account of the Judge
being absent the habeas corpus hear
ing at Court has been held over un
til his return, which will probably
be Saturday. Attorney for Mr. Heft
Is F. B. Holmes, Esq., while R. L.
Burnett has been retained by Mrs.
Powell. Stroudsburg Daily Times,

A HEALTH DECALOGUE.
Tho proverb that cleanliness is
next to Godliness is often ascribed
to the Bible. It does not happen to
belong in the Scriptures but it is
just as true and Is directly in- line
with Scriptural teachings.
The same thing might be said of
the Ten Commandments published
by the Housing Committee of the
Chicago Woman's Air Association.
They are so worthy of obedience
that they aro republished here.
1. Thou shalt honor thy city and
keep its laws.
2. Remember thy cleaning day
and keep it wholly.
3. Thou shalt love and cherish
thy children and provide for them
decent homes and playgrounds.
4. Thou shalt not keep thy win
dows closed day or night.
5. Thou shalt keep In order thy
alley, thy back-yard, thy hall and
stairway.
6. Thou shalt not kill thy neigh
bors' bodies with poisonous air, nor
their souls with bad companions.
7. Thou shalt not let tho wicked
fly live.
8. Thou shalt not steal thy chil-
aren s ngiu 10 Happiness irom mem.
9. Thou shalt bear witness
against thy neighbor's rubbish heap.
10. Thou shalt covet all the
fresh air and sunlight thou canst
obtain.

OMAHA KNOWN AS THE
GATE CITY OF THE WEST.
Metropolis Struck by Cyclone Has
Many Fine Industries.
Omaha has claimed tho sobriquet of
Gate City ever since before 1804, when
the Union Puciflc was begun and when
It was the most northerly outfitting
point for overland wagon trains to the
"far west"
It stands on tho west bank of the
Missouri, opposite Council Bluffs, la.,
402 miles southwest of Chicago on the
Union Pacific and the Missouri Pa
cific, and occupies, a site of over twen
ty-four square miles on tin elevation
1,030 feet above sea level and eighty
feet above the river, crossed at this
point by several bridges.
The superior location of the Gate
City has caused it to become the home
of many prosperous Industries, nnd
prosperity has resulted In the estab
lishment of many educational Institu
tions, buildings ottrnctlve for their
architecture. Omalm is a city of
churches. Among its Industries are
those of packing cattle, hogs and
sheep. Omaha ranks third among
cities of the United States in packing.
There Is a good deal of silver smelting,
us well as distilling, brewing and man
ufacture of steam engines.
Important among the buildings are
the courthouse, city hall, public library,
containing C0,000 volumes; tho federal
building, Coliseum hall, seating 12,000;
Roman Catholic and Protestant Epis
copal cathedrals, hospitals, state in
stitution for tho deaf and dumb, the
New York Life building and the ofilce
of the Omaha Bee.
Omaha has a city university and is
the seat of Creighton university, the
Academy of tho Sacred Heart Brow
nell hall, St. Catherine's ncadciny, the
Presbyterian Theological seminary, tho
Omaha Medical college and the Creigh
ton Medical college. It has a magnifi
cent high school building.
In maintenance and operation tho
city has been spending annually nearly
?l,C0O,000, the principal items of the
budget being about $375,000 for schools,
$205,000 for debt interests, $120,000 for
the fire department, $80,000 for the po
llco department and $80,000 for mu
nicipal lighting.
Historically the site of Omaha fig
ures as the place where Lewis and
Clark in 1804 held a council with the
Indians. J. B. Royco in 1825 built a
stockade and trading station there.
The first permanent settlement was
made in 1854. The growth of the city
has greatly increased since tho Pacific
railroad was completed. Tho popula
tion Is 130,000, making it Nebraska's
metropolis. The name Omaha was
taken from a tribo of the Dakotas that
Inhabited the region.
