HAYDKN DUOS ] WESTERN ART ASSOCIATION. McmDcr * iiici > iirn | ; < ' < l liy n llright Oiltlnoit 'I h < ! Annual M CM-tins- The Western Art association , since Its In corporation flvo years ago , has never had such n promising outlook , for ultimate suc cess as it has with the beginning of the present year. This was the unanimous opinion expressed at the stockholders' an nual meeting last night. Especially did Mr. Liningor show his sat isfaction with the progress made nnd the financial standing of the Institution. Secre tary Cutliti's report of the expenditures nnd disbursements showed a small balance re maining in the hands of the treasurer , with n delinquent list on stocks covering more than the total outstanding Indebtedness. Instructor Wallacoof the Omaha Academy of Fine Arts , which was Instituted by the association , reported that this western school was in every way In excellent I'iMuit- lion , and greater Interest was manifested by the art students than could reasonably ho expected , i'lnnncially , ho said , the institu tion would bo self supporting In a short lima President Lininger informed the meeting that ho had made personal olforts. with fair prospects of succeeding , to obtain the top floor of the ncxv library building when that structure was finished , for the use of the association. Hero permanent headiiunrlers. or at least until such a tlmo when the library would demand the use of the rooms , could bo established by the association. It was his Idea to ' put In n full line of plaster casts and remove thereto all the valuable paintings and other works of art with which the Llningcr gallery Is crowded. He thought that by exhibitions to bo started by the association , several thousand dollars could be realized and the way to success would bo clear at once. With this purpose in view , ho asitcd thatn committee be appointed to confer with the horary board. The stockholders present named G. \ \ . Llningcr , Clement Chase and C. 1" . Cutlin. Directors chosen wcro : George W. Lin inger , K. M. Parks , C. F. Catlin , E. C. Brownlee , John J. Monnell , Charles S. El- gutter and Clement Chase. At the close of this annual election a di rectors' meeting was held and an exhibition board named for the ensuing year. J. Laurie Wallace , Charles S. Huntington , Albert field wcro selected to look after any art exhi bition to be given within the year. o Ol'l'VSlTUIJ 'JCJ H'.lllE. lie Will 1'lnil l.lttlo Cumulation In tha Extra Session of Colnrndo'rt IjeRfoluturc. DENVEII , Jan. 0.The extra session of the legislature , called by Governor Waite to consider his Mexican silver coinage scheme and Inaugurate public improvements to fur nish work for the unemployed , will meet at noon tomorrow. From present indications , the session will bo very short nnd the gov ernor's suggestions will receive little or no consideration , Twenty-live of thirty-five senators are committed to the policy of im mediate adjournment , and at a caucus today they appointed u committee to prepare un address embodying their reasons for taking this course. In the house the vote on the question of immediate adjournment will bo very close. Most of the populists , it is said , will vote ngninst adjournment. The republicans have .a majority of ono in the house , but it is not believed thd.v can nil bo induced to favor im mediate adjournment. The state central committees of both wings of the democratic party have adopted resolutions urging democratic members to vote for adjournment. No nrly all the news papers in the state and a largo majority of the people are opposed to having a special session for any purpose. l VlHJll.iJH.il MUKUEllEK. Sir. nnd SIr .

The son suppose ; ! to bo mlssiug was found in the ashes of the barn and fully identified by his watch and other articles , though ho himself wns bm-ned beyond recognition. The father and mother rovcal fearful mutilation by bullets nnd bruises. The evidence reveals u fearful struggle. The birn is about 400 feet away from the house and there are some blood stains between tlio house and barn , as from bleeding wounds. There Is a growing suspicion that the son killed his father and mother , then rushed to the barn , Betting It on llro and killed him self. A pistol wns found near him empty. The family was well off and intelligent , but the son was an inveterate reader of yellow backed literature. In ttio nbsenco of a better clew the conviction la ho may have committed the deed.

HOW THE CLERGYMAN GOT THEIR SUPPORT I.nili Inrltril to n llnmiiirt nt the Cnthritrnl nnil Trrnteil Mku I'rlnoen Concert Went with It How They HrnpoiHletl. In the event that the dally papers nro not sold from the curbstone today , and in the event that all of the newsuoys of the city are laid up with the gout , the trouble can ho charged to Dean Gardner of Trinity cathe dral , for ho had all of those bo.vs , together with their half cousins , the bootblacks , under his protection for two hours lust night. When tho.v loft him they would willingly have elected him president of the United States If they could have tlotio so , and there would noi , have been u lad who would have voted for any other man. Some weeks agon man who signed himself John Shenard struck the city and at once conceived the idea of banqueting the news boys. The lads fell In line and at once com menced selling the tickets for the feed , which was to bo givuu tit Washington hall. When thontglit fort no spread rolled around , nothing but darkness filled the hall , whllo the boys , who wcro down on their luck and carrying empty stomachs , gnvo vent to their pent up feelings in words of no uncertain sound when they wcro Informed that their banqueter had stufTcd the supper fund In his pocket. Since that tlmo the sellers of the dally papers have been n trlllo shy of banquets. Squared n Fukc. Dean Gardner hearing of the dirty trick which had been pliiyca upon the boys , con eluded that he would assist them to one good meal , at least , and after consulting with the members of the Brotherhood pf St Andrews and the King's Daughters of the church , It was decided that n feast would bo spread , and last night was the date agreed upon. Shortly after 0 o'clock the basement of the church was illuminated and lonir tables , covered with cloths of n snowy whiteness , were spread over the boards , after which couriers were sent out § to bid the lads to come in and cat. It was not necessary for the Issuance of a second In vitation and at 8 o'clock seventy-five bright faced lads , each possessed witn an empty stomach , knocked for admission nt the basement door of the church which was thrown wide open. Inside the room the boys gazed upon a sccnu that made them all wish that they could double their capacity for the ono occasion , at least , for there upon the tables were tur keys cooked to a delicate brown , fiankcd on the side with cscallopcd oysters , cranber ries , hot rolls , mlnco pie , cake , angel food and all of the side dishes necessary to con stitute a supper 1U for the palate of a klnsf. ' Pinafore" and "Mogy" Bernstein led tlio forces and were closely followed by Ned Lazarus , A. Greenblatt , Fred McVa.v , Walt Nugent and scores , of others , who , dressed in their best , tucked their napkins under their chins and went Into the good things like a lot of men mowing. While their table eti quctto was not so exact as thnt possessed by the denizens of Capitol Hill , they feasted without the least trouble. 1'ulvcrlzcil tlio ( iobblcn. The dean prided himself upon being a carver of turkeys , and that lie might main tain his reputation ho was given one of the largest of the twelve birds to dismemocr. Ho accomplished the task in just four min utes , but the poor fowl presented the ap pearance of having been struck by a Dakota cyclone , though the newsboys never said n word. After all of the little Jackets had been filled to the bursting pomr the literary part of the program was entered upon , Jules Lombard singing , "Alagglo , Are You Sleep ing , Maftcie ? " - Jules Lombard may have SUHR better in his life , but there never was a time when ho was moro loudly applauded , and it was not until ho had given the boys two moro songs that ho was allowed to retire. Fol lowing the slnsrlng Mrs. H. W. Fitt ptoycd n piano solo , aftou which the boys again turned their attention to delicious coffee , mincp pic , oranges and othorartlclcs of food. This concluded the foust , and while there was no oratorical eloquence to uncork , there was n little speech that made the givers of the supper feel better than they had over felt before.

The effort' which Congressman Mercer is making to secure branch stations of tlio ocal postoftico .moots wltti the unqualified ipprobation of the Omaha officials. Post- naster Clarkson said yesterday morning hat he hau first- considered the scheme after reading an editorial on ho subject in THE BEE. .JJs was favorably mprcssed with the idea und had intended o set to work nt once to secure the pro- msed system. The notion of Congressman tlcrccr hud anticipated his Intentions in hat regard and ho hoped to sea the branch ofllces located without delay. Tlio proposed arrangement would bo a great convenience to the residents of the : ity outside of the business center. Tlio juslncss transacted by the branch offices vould naturally consist mostly of money orders and registered letters , which would save people the trouble of coming to the 'caeral building from outstdo districts every tlmo they hr.il any business to transact hrough these departments. Major Clarkson md no idea where the branch offices would jo located , as that was a matter that would not bo determined until after the inspector iati arrived and gone over the ground. Con gressman Mercer's Idea is that five branch iltlces should be located iu Omaha and ono n South Omaha. Chief Clerk Vandcrvoort of the railway nail service is also a hearty advocate of the Branch system. All the other largo cities lave their branch offices , and in his opinion ; hey would be a great convenience to the citizens of Omaha. _ or .t itor.

Hut It I * I'ortuimto That They DoNe No iv , "It is surprising what mistakes oven seine of the beat people in the world make. " The sponkor wns ono of the greatest doctors the world has over known. ' Take for oxtunplo , one of the most common things In the world , namely , u cold. People sponk of 'Inking cold1 : there Is renlly no such thing' . A cold l a symptom , nn ulToet , not n cause. Did you over know nn absolutely well and healthy person who took cold1 ; 1 never Imvo , oven under the greatest exposure. Yes , indeed a cold is u symptom , not n CIIUHO. " The gentlemen nnd Indies lowborn the doctor was speaking exchanged looks of astonishment but they did not dispute the words of the learned man. "You may bo surprised"ho continued , "when 1 toll you timt nine-tenths of all colds occur because those great orirans of the body , the kidneys , are out of order. Moro men and women nro troubled with imperfect kidneys than with any other known form of disease. The unfortunate tiling about it JH thut they do not know that this is their trouble. Why ? Because all dinicuKi'\q , dornniromonts , and diseases of the kid neys nro usually without any pain , in fact , without any symptoms 'whatever , and this Droves just wh it I said at first , namely , that , 'a. cold is n symptom. ' " The looks of amazement which were upon the faces of his hearers remained , while the doctor continued " \Vhnt i sny is true. If you 'have a co'd In the head , u cough , pain in the muscles or joints , if you sticezo or whcexo , do not try to doctor these symp toms , but go nt once to their cause , which is invariably the kidneys. Use the be.st discovery of modern limes for these organs , which is Warner's yufo Cure. Put your kidneys in proper con- dltion.'and any cold , no matter how bad it may nc , will disappear us if by mujric. Indeed , " continued the doctor most de liberately and earnestly , " 1 assert that the grip , which has boon so disastrous , which has brought so much trouble into the world , should never have hud its run if the kidneys of those who had suffered from it had boon in perfect con dition. These great organs , if unclogged - ged , would have thrown the disease from the system so that the grip-would have been unknown.
