The Nebraska Press association closed Its
iipsslon In thl city WeJnc-sday evening
nhortly after 5 o'clock. The members ap
peared to bo well satisfied with the treat
ment accorded them by the local committee
on arrangements. During the afternoon
ereslon the association elected ofllcera and
finished up Its buMnesa At ' 1 o clock In
the evening a banquet was given the mem-
tors by the business men of the city at the
Paxton. Before going to the dining room
the guests circulated through the parlors
of the hotel and were Introduced to the
men whoao guesUi they have been during
tholr stay.
Yeaterday morning the members were a
little alow In getting together and It was
fully half past 3 o'clock when Presi
dent Howard called the meeting to
order. The report of the secre
tary-treasurer was referred lo a special
auditing committee , consisting of Messrs
llralncrd of the Chester Herald , Ludl of the
Ilarlan County Democrat and Sheldon ot
Chadron The secretary called the atten
tion of the association to the death of John
A MacMurphy , one of the \etcrnn editors
of the state , and suggested that a special
page In the coming report be devoted to
Ills life , The suggestion waa adopted On
hccount of the absence ot J. W Tanner of
the rullorton Post his paper on "Tho
IJps and Downs of a Newspaper
Life , " was dispensed with. 12. Cunningham
of the Wayne Republican addressed the
members on the subject of "The Scmi-
Wcckly Not Practical. " Mr. Cunningham
stated that he has never had a personal ex
perience In the publication of a semi-weekly
paper and that therefore his remarks wore
necessarily based upon his observation ot
other editors' efforts to successfully publish i
n paper on that line. A few of them were
successful , but the great majority failed.
In the cases whore SUCCOSH crowned the ef
forts ot the editors the men who had charge
I of the publications were men of exceptional '
nullity. A great deal depended upon the
towu In which the papci was published. In
moat country towns the farmers , upon whom
the editor must depend for his subscription
lint , came to town but once u week , nnd If
they found two papers In their box they
would naturally bo Inclined to look upon
them as practically two numbers of the
Fame edition. Ho thought that the extra
labor and expense Involved were not
Justified by the Increase In circulation. The
fact that many able men had attempted the
publication of a semi-weekly newspaper and
Jmil failed was a strong argument against its
practicability.
I * Not n rnllnrc.
Ii. A. Williams of Blair , who publishes a
eml-weekly , replied to Mr. Cunningham
"I am not prepared as jet to spcvik on this
subject , not having had enough experience
to Justify me In saying that the semi-weekly
Is an entire success. Still 1 can safel ) s ly
that In my case at least It Ins not been a
failure. I found It a great advantage over
the regular weekly papers during the late
war. I could print the news on Monday that
my competltorB did not get before the public
on Thursday. I am free to confess that at
first my subscribers were greatly opposed to
having two small editions of the paper , In-
etracl ot one large weekly edition. Thla I
remedied by Issuing an eight-page piper on
Thursday c and a four-page paper on Mon-

dressed the meeting on the "Country Press. '
He stated that his experience In the news
piper business extended back to the ' 40s
nnd TiOa. when the country press WOK of
little consequence , all people reading the
large metropolitan weeklies It was this
npli It that caused the New York Tribune to
bilng its weekly circulation up to 500,000
"Today. ' he added , "wo have In Nebraska
COO country papers , each publication aver
aging mnro than 300 subscribers. These pa-
peri reach every farmer In the state of
Nebraska. They nre read by every English
speaking family and discussed over the din
ner table , so thet at the end of the week
every article in the paper has been de
bated and digested. The power exorcised by
the country press for good or evil is almost
unlimited. I believe thtit the country c'd-
itor. possessing " " no does this Influence ,

The "Question Box" conducted by II B

Mr. Ileihcrt was fully at homo along this

i\fiit. :
One hundred and forty years ago Wednes
day , In the shadow of Scotland's hills , oc
curred an event dear to the heart of ovcry-
loyal Scot. On that day "Hobby" Burns was
born , the poet of the- common people , whoso
simple ver * < u und touching HOUR have become1
a pare of the lives of Scotia's sons , as the
hard has become ouu of the heroes of Scot
tish lege'tid and story. It Is a duy celebrated
tlio world over by the Scots , with beautiful
devotion to the memory of their beloved
countryman.
With Clan Gordon , No 63 , Order of the
Scottish Clans , In this city , the celebration
of the anniversary of Robert Bums' birth
Is ono of the events of the year. On that
day thoughts of their native land take preee.
deuce over all else nnd that which Is Scot
tish In custom , In llfo and habit Is adopted
for the day with truthful uppllootlon to ex
isting conditions In the fatherland
At Washington hall Wednesday night the
ninth annual concert In celebration ot the
day was given by Clan Gordon and It was
attended by about 400 people. Pictures of
Burns and of "Highland Mary" were upon
the walls and the atage was draped with the
stars and stripe ? , the colors of the clan also
finding a place In the dccoratlotis. Scottish
costumes with men. women and children.
were numerous throughout the audience anil
ever and anon the nasal tones of the bagpipe -
pipe would add a further Scot coloring to
the gathering , made positive by the musical
program , which opened with "Annie Laurie"
nd closed with "Auld Lang Syne. "

It was 9 o'clock when the curtain rolled
p. revealing Clan Gordon In the Highlands ,
lie bagpipes playing a Scottish all. WIN
lam Home , chief of the clan , stepped for-
\ard mid made a short address of welcome ,
iienllonlng the puiposo of the celebration
nd taylng that on thl day , the wide world
ver. the name of the Immortal bard Is ie-
ailed with love and reverence. This opened
ho regular program of the evening
Shortly after this Clansman A C. Trout *
made an address on "Memory of Burns. " He
said the virtues and beauties or the poet's
Ifo and worus have been * o often told by
orators , writers and tdiolars It seemed use >
ess to attempt to add anything new to the
tvealth of eulogy which has been laid at the
Vet of Burns Ho said the poet seemed to
: iavo two separate and distinct phases to his .
character , so much at variance with each |
other that they might be assigned to differ
ent Indlvldinls. One > of these was that of
a light-hearted and fun-loving man , while
the other , and the greater and more conspicu
ous , was that of a person burdened with sorrow
row and desoalr. Many people remembered
the works of Burns for their bright humor
or keen witticism , while his greatest work
was performed whllo gloomy and dla-
'ouragcd ' The latter had been clabslfied bv
competent tcholars as containing some of
the noblest and mo t beautiful thoughts ever
In theHngllsh language.
Mr. Troup referred to the poet's writings
on the subject of the tender passion and paid
a beautiful tribute to them. He said It was
these which caused the name of Bums to bo
revered In every country on the gloho , re
sulted In the poems being translated into
nearly all of the languages and made- the
poet loved by men and women , adult ami
child , wherever his line1' were reau
Throughout the address the speaker Illustra
ted the point he was making by a short
quotation from a Docm on the line of thought
upon which he vms dwelling.

seemed to lack strength perhaps because
she has been accustomed to slnelng In par

ner Intt evening In the Gardner Memorial
house.
At the beginning of the winter season the
women of the society held a meeting for the
purpose of devising means for raising money
for the palish aid fund. The plan decided
upon was to divide the society Into groups
of ten , each of which was to bo known by
the name ot ono of their number and
that each should become surety for n
specified sum of money It was thought best
to raise the money by entertainments
Several of the Tens having been successful
In giving entertainments , the women as
sociated with Mrs Wessell decided to try an
innovation U took the form of a turkey
( linnet More than sixty members of the
parish took advantage of the1 opportunity ,

signs , and a tall cut glnrs vase with long-
stemmed roues and ferns In the center of
each. The rooms were lighted by Chinese
lanterns , The jount : women of the parish

Members of the executive and advisory
committees of the Greater America Ksposl-
tlon , together with a number of the direc
tors , held a conference Wednesday after
noon at the Paxton hotel for the purpose of
discussing plans relative to the exposition
pioject.
The discussion touched In a general way
upon financial matters , but no definite action
was taken. The news from Washington re-
gardlng the action of the ways and means
committee In shelving the Mercer resolu
tion came In for a share of attention. The
action ( of the committee was not regarded ns
n setback , and no one felt any discourage
ment because ot It. The consensus of opin
ion was to push ahead with all the plans ,
with or without the aid ot the government ,
After the conference P. 13. Her said with
lefercnco to the action of the congressional
committee : "It will make no difference at
all with our plans. We had decided a long
while ago to go ahead , whether we could get
government assistance or not and the ways
and means committee's action will not re
tard us. "
No llttlo additional encouragement was
Infused later In the evening over the re
ceipt of a mesaago from Senator Thurslon !
saying he was planning to get his hill
through the eenate at the earliest possible
moment. Favorable action by the scnato Is
expected to make It eisler to secure the con-
currcnce of the house.

tween the nouns of 5 and C , some person
called at Pike's office and got the machine- ,
representing that he had been sent by the
typewriter company Later when its loss
was discovered , Pike appeared to be very
much put out over Its dl ppearanec , but
as appeased by the statement that the
nanager of the typewriter company hail
tent for the machine An Investigation was
: nado by the real owner of the machine ,
hen the management was notified of Its
oss and a search warrant was Issued for
:3hrhirt'fi : house , 1509 Military avenue. Its
ervlce resulted In finding nothing. It Is
lalmed now that the police have received
ord from the authorities In Denver notlfy-
ng them that the typewriter has been found
n a box there which was shipped from Lin-
oln to a man named Ryan. J. E Brown

i Brown stated that ho saw a typewriter at
Ehrhart's houfio about Christmas Ehrhart
told . him In response to a query concerning
it that he had brought It down from the
office of Wernemont & Plko for a few days.
When the witness learned of the search

and Pike and Wernemont Ind agreed that
the defendant should remain on a street
corner and wait for the dellveiy of the typewriter -
writer lo him by a man who should bo sent

ver in Brown's name to get It away for u
short time Brown said he did not know
,
that Ehrhart had used his n inio until afterward -
ward and then he told Ehrhart that ho
feared It would get the witness into trouble.
