and Banquet Held Le.it Night at
Faxton Hotel.
Frank I.. Weaver unanimously wss re
elected president of the Omaha Bar asso
ciation and Charles E. Foster unanimously
was elected secretary at the association's
annual meeting and banquet at the fax ton
Saturday night. C. J. Smyth unanimously
was elected member of the executive coun
cil to succeed Mr. Foster.
Mr. Foster's election to the secretaryship
was a recognition of his service as secre
tary during the last few months In the ab
aence of Secretary Frederick R. Balrd.
'Jacob I,. Kaley was re-elected treasurer.
Ten new members were taken Into the
association, making th total membership
1S6. The new members, all of whom were
elected unanimously, are: John T. Dillon,
Edward A. Smith. John F. Morlarlty,
Charles F. McLaughlin. William C. Ram
sey. Amos S. Thomas. Ralph A. Van
Orsdel. Edward I- Bradley. Charles W.
Sears snd Edward D. O Sullivan.
Reports of the officers, which followed
the repast, were hailed with such acclaim
that it was almost Impossible for the re
ports to be read, but when the applause
finally died down the officers advised the
membership of their actions during tha
year and all the reports were adopted by
acclamation. They indicated that as re
gards finances, membership and all other
features of the organization it is in better
condition than ever before In its history
President Frank I Weaver presided as
toastmssler and called upon Arthur C.
Wakeley, Judge William A. Redlck, J. W.
Woodrotigh. Frank Crawford and former
Judge E. Wakeley.
Arthur C. Wakeley, responding to "The
Simple Life," gave a light address, made
up largely of Interesting and amusing tales
of the practice, which showed clearly that
the lawyer's life is anything but a simple
one.
Judge Redlck divided his time between
a defense of the courts against ths charges
of Improper use of the injunction and dis
position to favor corporations and an ex
position of the new system to expedite tha
trial of causes, which will be placed in
effect with the beginning of the February
term of court, lie also touched upon the
subject of cltisens rushing into courts with
troubles which never should be made sub
jects of litigation. He declared that the
courts do not abuse the laws which permit
injunctions and especially are careful not
to work Injustice by use of tha powers of
Injunction In troubles between capital and
labor.
J. W. Wooiirough, speaking for the bar.
expressed tha thorough satisfaction of the
members with the administration of Jus
tice by the Judges of the district court of
. ouglas county.
Frank Crawford, speaking of English
,uuri3, told of his Impressions in his visits
,o London court rooms and of the superior
ly of I nlud State courts, those of Doug
.as county among them, over those of the
I'nlted Kingdom.
Former Judge Wakeley made a serious
address which was filled with good advice,
given weight by the fact that It was given
by a man who has been a lawyer for sixty
four years. Ha urged the attorneys always
to do their best, fight their hardest, and
then bo content with the results. His
stirles of his early struggles and defeats
were laughable and at the same time In
teresting and Instructive, carrying lessons
which .were seriously received.

Because of the cold prevailing in tha last

The A born grand opera season
t th
Brsndels theater closed last
night with
a highly worthy presentation of Gounod's
"Faust." This opera is evidently a great
favorite with local theater-goers and
music-lovers of the operatic style, for the
theater was almost filled. Kxcept. of
course, the boxes. which have been
slenderly occupied during the engagement.
The part of Marguerite was sung by
Miss Bertha Davis, who made a very at
tractive appearance indeed. Her singing,
in the upper part of ths voice is pleasing,
but It Is marred in the middle and lower
tones by that old enemy known technically
to the profession as the "stroke of the
glottis" Miss Davis will he much more
attractive vocally when she overcomes this
fault, which she can and doubtless will do.
As I'aust. Domenlco Russo instead of
Henry Taylor appeared Mr. Kusso did
some very good work and some he spoiled
by over-sentltnentallty, especially the end
of the "Salve Dlmora." the rest of that
fumous old aria being delivered with ex

Lincoln. The badge of honor system outlined
therein. Is new and original with him. It
promises to b very successful, creating a
strong school pride. The "social" phase of
th scheme Is emphasised with tha pupils
rather than the reward side:
"Today marks the beginning of a new
month of school. There are Just five
months left. Let us hop that they may be
months of great profit to th school and
to the community.
"Beginning today every pupil who Is ex
cellent In deportment will receive a bsdge
of honor. When he has worn one of these
badges ten days he will receive a higher
one. The ten days' badge worn throughout
the remainder of the year will entitle hith
to a permanent badge with a gold band.
To get this badge your child must, first of
all, be In school on time every remaining
day In the year. Will you kindly co-operate
with the teacher to enable him to earn the
distinction of receiving a permanent em
blem of excellent conduct and to aid th
school In establishing better conditions for
high class work.
"Will you also visit ths school occasion
ally, see tha work that Is being dona and
encourage, the pupils to do the best work?
The school Is yours. Tour presence there
will help the pupil, the teacher, and you.
Come often and be prepared to make sug
