The dinner given, Friday evening- t tha
Commercial cluh by the board of directors
of the Young" Men's Christian nssoctntton
In honor of George B. Hodge of New York,
International educational field secretary
of the Young Men's Christian assoolutlon,
and C. S. Ward of Chicago, member of
tha International committee. was attended
by tome sixty or more of tha leading clti
aans of Omaha,
Tha dinner was an Informal one, but

If. Hodge gave an Illustrated lecture upon
Younr Men's Christian association wor
hroughout the I'nlted States and in for
eign lands. A stereonticon was utilize!
to give emphasis to Mr. Hodges address.
Tha pictures numbered 10 or more, and
wera largely of the association halldlngs
scattered throughout the world, their evo
lution from small, Insignificant a rurtur.s
to majestle plies, devoted to the mental
moral and pnyslcal education of young
men as supplementary to the. work of
the public schools and colleges. The varied
phases and classes of work of tha sssocla
tlons in army and railroad work were
effectively shown, as well as the general
work of tha association In a practical
manner that was a revelation to thoss
present.
Mr. Hodge spoke of the growth of the
work and sought to especially impress
upon tha board of directors of the Omaha
association the necessity of erecting a
building here, not . for the Immediate pres
ent, but tor the future.
Mr. Ward followed Mr. Hodge In an ad
dress along similar lines. Ha spoke of
the tremendous strides that the associa
tion work is mnking In the east and In
the far went, especially In the matter of
manual training. He also urgently en
Joined upon the Omaha association to build
not for tha present but for the future.
He had but recently returned from the
far west and through Colorado and Texs,
Where the railroads and other greut cor
porations have awakened to the Importance
of the Young Men s Christian association
as a factor In the Industrial education of
employes and spoke of the encouragement
they were giving to the enterprise.
Interest of the Laboring Man.
Oeorge F. BldweH spoke in encourage
ment of the work and advocuted its con
tinuance. "I know," he said, "what young men
nee to start them on the voyage of life.
There Is no greater Influence for good in
this country than the Young Men's Chris
tian association. For that reason I am a
member of it. This Is an era of evolution.
The laboring men are not a bit to blama
for organising trusts; It la a mistaken idea
that employers are finding fault with the
laboring men's trusts. The fault lies with
the other trusts. I believe that the future
leaders of the laboring men's trusts will
be those who sre the graduates from our
Young Men's Christian association schools.
Those that attend them are young men
who have not had the time or opportunity
to attend the public schools and universi
ties. "I know what It Is to be a director In our
Young Men's Christian associations. They
have been criticised, and unkindly, too. But
who of you would undertake the a-reat
work that they are doing for no other com
pensation than the knowledge that they are
doing a noble work for the young men
who nerd Just such assistance? I believe
with Mr. Hodge, that In building our new
association rtructure here that we should
build for the future. Pullil Just as largely
as our means will allow. The Investment
will amply renay all that we can put Into
It. Build It in the center of our business
district, so that we ran reach the young
men and compete with the evil Influence
right on their own ground. I know what It
Is to control large bodies of men and how
beneficial a rrora! Influence Is to them.
Build a place for these young men to as
semble snd gather, where they may be sur
rounded by a pure atmosphere."
Following the addresses a short session
was devoted to a reception to Messrs.
Hodge and Ward.

BOLD THIEF QUICKLY CAUGHT
nana with Overcoat and Watch, bat
, Is Overhauled After Sharp
Chase.
Soloman Greenberg, a second-hand dealer
at 115 South Fifteenth street, was con
gratulating himself on the seasonable
weather for his line of goods last evening
Just after supper time, when a brisk young
man without an overcoat walked in. He
wanted an overcoat, he said, and also a
watch. Mr. Greenberg beamed on the
good customer In 'iruspect and bade him
a hearty welcome. The young man got
Into an overcoat that suited his fancy
and when It was properly settled about
his shoulders by tha smiling merchant he
proceeded to examine a watch. Selecting
one that was warranted to keep time tied
up right where It belonged, the customer
slyly edged toward the door to examine It
more closely. Then he made a quick shift
opened the door and pulled it shut almost
I on his flying heels.
Greenberg and his assistants at once
gavo tongue in loud and woeful shouts
and got into the Impromptu foot race with
something of a handicap. Officer Flak
and Detective McDonald likewise Joined In
the chase, and after an exciting few
minutes the fugitive was overtaken In en
alley.
At the station he gave-, the name of
George foyer, and said his home Is In
Grand Island. Ho had on his person, be
sides the overcoat and watch he got from
Greenberg, another watch, a lot of new
rings of considerable value and a new
revolver which had not yet been loaded.
The prisoner could not satisfactorily ac
count for the possession of these articles
and the police locked him up with the' con
viction In their mind that he was a good
thing for men In their Una of business to
find.
Later In the night a telegram came from
Bartlett, la., to The Bee which will prob
ably lead to the Identification of the
prisoner as one of two burglars who broke
Into a Jewelry and hardware store at that
place on Thursday night. They stole some
revolvers and rings and got away from
town with a rtolea team. Yesterday the
team was found abandoned at Pacific
Junction. It is thought that the young
thief captured last night la ona of the
Bartlett burglars and that ha' earn Into
Omaha yesterday on a freight train (rjui
tha Junction. The Bartlett officers bave
been notified of tha capture and are ex
pected here today.
I'oyer was sentenced to thirty days when
arraigned before police Judge Berka. The
)oung man made a weak plea for Ciemency,
saying ha lost HO wlulu in Omaha and that
he thought Greenberg s assault on him at
the store was) unjustifiable. 'While Foyer
Is serving his sentenoe Captain Dunn will
look Into tha Bartlett, la., esse and learn
what connection. If any, Poyer had la ths
robbery at tUe Iowa town.
MA GETS DAUGHTER'S HUBBY
Mother-ii-Law and Son-in-Law Elopa and
Detectives An on Trail.
JULIET TWICE THE AGE OF HER ROMEO
Recreant Ssease Leaves Wife of Three
Yeara and Skips Out with
Her Mother Some
time Since.
If a report Just received by Chief of De
tective Dunn at the city Jfcil may be
taken as a criterion, the much-abused
mother-in-law Is tit last coming Into her
own.
The report referred to Is from Sheriff
A. J. Shlnn of Logan, la., who offers a
reward of t&0 for the capture of J. E.
Payne and Mlnnis Plppitt, son-in-law and
mother-in-law, respectively. Payne Is 23
years of age, while the mother-in-law is
46 years, the sheriff advises. The coupls
did not take leave In an every-dsy manner
by going to the railroad office and buying
tickets, but eloped from River Sioux, la.,
October 13, with a horse and buggy. The
report doea not say they left 'neath the
moon's pale light; that the mother-in-law
lowered herself from a second-story win
dow Into the arms of her waiting Romeo;
that nn Irate father-in-law took up the
chase with a shotgun," nor "that forgiving
parents are awaiting the return of the
couple with a fatted calf and barrel of
winter apples." It does not say anything
about those things; It merely says they
eloped and leaves the authorities and the
press to draw their own conclusions.
The description of ths mother-in-law
states that she has a thin face, back and
lower teeth gone, nail partially gone from
one Index finger and a mole on the aide
of her nose.
Chief of Detectives Dunn understands
that Payne was married three years ago
and that bis wife is now 21 years of age.
He Is making an effort to locate the
coupls in Omaha.
Behreaa Kills a. Wolf.
John Iiehrens of 2124 Bnrague street feels
minded to laugh with disduln at the wolf
hunters who recently went out in full
panoply of the chase and came back with
out even a haft- of a wolf. While hunting
for rabbits yesterday In the vicinity of
East Omaha, accompanied by his son, Mr.
Iiehrens managed to get so close to a
skulking wolf that he killed it with a shot
gun. The wolf weighed fifty pounds and
attracted much attention last night whea
put on exhibition at the corner of Twenty
fourth and Sprague.

George Washington Barker, chief clerk
In the city health department, was called
up over the 'phone the other day by A. F.
Leermakers, 1309 South Twenty-fifth street.
"I see by the papers," said Mr. Leer
makers, "that I have had a girl born Into
my family. Now that is wrong. It's a boy
and I want you to correct that."
Barker consulted tha report made by
the doctor.
"Can't do it." said he, "the birth-card
says it's a girl."
"It la not a girl," responded the father
vehemently. "The child Is a boy."
"Can't help that." replied Barker, "my
official Information Is tha other way."
"I guess I ought to know. Tha doctor's
wrong."
"The card fixes It with tha health depart

"Do you mean to say you won't takd

A defective casting caused 2.000 damages
to the power plant of the Bennett store
yesterday morning and caused all hands
to do some hustling In getting the store
light wiring connected up with the city
circuits. The engines are located In the
power house, which la with the stables
southwest of the store. Tha eross hesd on
the largest of the engines, whlcb furnish
power for the biff store, broke and the
smashup which followed more or less In
jured ths entire plant. The englaeer was
standing quite near to the engine at the
time of the breakage, but he was unin
jured. The building was not harmed and
although the elevators and other aervloes
defending on the stesm was reduced to
veiy low efflolenoy, the store was kept run
ning and by night the wiring connected so
that the store was lighted as usual.
Athertons In Ilard Lack.
While driving over illo Douglas ' street
hrh'ge last night Mrs. Atherton hnd the
misfortune to have her horse fall and
break one of lis legs. Her husband had
romo over to Omaha from Council Bluffs
enrlier In tho day and Captain HaSe had
him locked up. After examining the horse
Atherton asked that it be shot and OfHoer
Pundetrom whs sent out to kill ths animal.
Tho Athertons have been having very bad
luck lately, and after Captain Ha.se had
heard the wife's story last night she went
away In a more hopeful humor than was
her's when her horse, their last asset, fell
by the wayside. The police captain had
banded her the wherewithal for immediate
needs without any parade or preliminaries.
