While reading a paper in Ills ottteo Hob Seller was badly frightened when with a loud crash two of the windows close to where he was sitting wore blown out. Had any ono been passing below an accident might have resulted. Fremont Tribune : Now motive power - or on the Northwestern , need for which has been clearly demonstrated during the s-evoral months past , Is to le sup plied in the spring or early summer , according to railroad men. The small onglne In use generally on the com pany's lines west of the Missouri river has been one of the best types known In its day , but the necessity for speed in the passenger service , and the ever growing volume of freight business causing longer trains and heavier ton- lingo , have forced the engine of this typo into the background and created a demand for bigger and more power ful locomotives , oven on the branches. The Northwestern some months ago placed an order for 125 now engines of the latest typo , and it Is understood tlmt seven of these , when delivered , will bo sent out to this division for freight and passenger use. The addi tion of the new engines on the lines east of the Missouri will make It pos sible for the company to put a num ber of the larger engines now being used only on the main line onto this division , making n great reinforcement to the rather crippled motive power now In use hero. Boy Attacked by Dop. Roomer Times haul Friday night while playing with the little Schln- tock lad , Donald Norrls Was attack ed by n vicious cnnlnu over In that neighborhood and nn a result he was a pretty scared lad for a while at least. It Is not known just how the accident occurred , or whether the boys wore tormenting the dog , but at any ratu the dog made a grab at his face and then , fall'.ig In that , he grabbed him In the tleshy part of the upper ! arm , biting him quite severely. I The Clergy Makes Reply. I N6rfolk. Neb. , Jan. 20. Hdltnr1 NOWH : While the charging of the full price to ministers for medical services may work a hardship to some who have received favors , 1 think that the change will be better In the end. Many people ( norosUmato the amount of special favors received by the cler gy. Some still think that wo ride for half fare. It may bo that subscrip tions to the church have been affected , and that they will bo larger when It IH understood that there are no favors. I think , however , that the explana tion of the action of the doctors In the resolution adopted Is unworthy of the good judgment of the medical pro fession. To regard that a minister Is well paid who receives as much as the av erage school teacher or bank clerk IH to disregard all the facts of relative preparation or demands. Probably no physician In the city has spent more time In general or tech nical preparation for his profession than has the average clergyman. No profession makes higher de mands or re < | iiiroB heavier continued application or higher elllcloncy. It Is safe to say that had the average clergyman given the same time and ability to medicine ho would bo re ceiving fully twice what ho now re ceives. Hank clerks are underpaid , the recompense for educational work Is notoriously inadequate , but the av erage salary of clergymen Is a positive disgrace to civilization. The explanation of the secretary , Dr. Mackay , that ministers recommend patent medicines and had whisky can not bo allowed to pass without an an swer. There are quacks In all profes sions , and advertisers are quick to use every testimonial , genuine or bogus , from a "Hev. " because of the clergy man's Intlnence , yet even so , two "M. D.'s" can be found in such testimonials to every "D. D. " Neither profession as such is responsible or to bo blamed for the curse of unscrupulous advertising of nostrums. Edwin Hooth , jr.

Norfolk lost the Dromon's tourna ment to York by nearly Dfty votes. York and Norfolk wore the only con testants for the tournament , but owing to the fact that York had already boon working among the delegates in Fre mont for the tournament they wore successful. Norfolk heretofore had re fused the tournament and. believing they again would bo asked to take It they wore a little too conlldent. The vote stood -Hi to I0t ; In favor of York. Herman Winter was again elected state treasurer with no opposition. C. E. Hartford was elected state delegate to the national convontlon. C. E. Hartford of Norfolk told the Dromon how to care for Dro hose. Ho recommended that It bo hung on a tower or rack after being used. It was not necessary to dry the rubber lining , but ( ho cotton fabric should not be left damp under any circumstance. Though the exchange of badges Is one of the features of the convention , delegates who have attended other ' gatheilngH of recent years say the oils- torn Is not quite so prevalent as It was at Norfolk hist year. Whore every delegate took a supply of 100 to 500 ribbons with him last year , the supply this year Is limited to 200 or HOO In most cases. True to their protest the Norfolk delegates have cut Nit the custom , and , ( hough they have collect ed badges , they have distributed none. Each delegate from the reform town Is wearing a big ribbon with a picture of Norfolk's paid team. For half an hour in the darkness of night at a wee sma' hour Wednesday morning frightened guests at the Now York hotel peeped horrllled through ! the transoms at the antics of a half a dozen ghosts rushing back and forth through the corridors. At least they mistook the white robed figures for ethereal beings. They were , however , nothing more supernatural than Allh ance delegates dressed in their slum ber gowns searching frantically for a fellow townsman who is known by the appellation of Joe Hasklns. Joe , they alleged. Is troubled with nightmares , and proceeded in the dead of night to ride off on one. They Dually located him on the second Door and returned triumphantly with him to his room. Ho swears he's done with nightmares I forever and ever. , Alliance gets the next state conven tion. Omaha Drops Corn Show. Omaha. Jan.'I ! - - Although iho local committee has not made tlie for mal announcement , it Is a fact never theless , that Omaha will let go of the National Corn exposition , and will raise no objection to its going else where. This local committee holds Its annual meeting January ! ' < . and it Is the consensus of opinion that at that meeting no member will Insist upon tlio next exposition being held here. Wliile no city IIR made a formal application for the ffext National Corn exposition , the prevailing opinion hero is that the prize will bo captured by Indianapolis , Ind. , where the business men are laying their plans for the big meeting that will bring about an exhibition of the agricultural products of the country. The National Corn exposition came into existence three years ago , when the first show was held in Chicago. From a Dnaiicial point of view that exposition was a failure , attributed to the fact that while the show was a gigantic affair it was too small for the city. There were not enough farm ers within easy reach , and it was not a show that appealed to the city pee ple. TO KEEP YOUTHFUL DANCE. Also Shed Corsets for Draperies , Mrs. Boynton Tells Women. New York , Jan. "U.Mis. . Charles C. Hoynton , who says we rear barriers i of plush cushions between ourselves , and our souls , and who believes the clouds are sulliciont coverlet , told the j Woman's Democratic club yesterday j at the Waldorf-Astoria how to bo beau tiful. tiful.Her Her doctrine of life is a sort of ex tension course on the Isadora Dun can cult. She preaches a homo of the spirit and an uncorseted llgnre. She also effects Greek draperies and allows' ' them to trail literally "all over the ! place. " She was enveloped in an ocean of pink silk. She said she al ways dressed that way except on the street. Her daily regimen may bo. gathered from her mode of life in' ' California , where she formerly made her home. There she , lier husband and their live children slept "under the stars , with nothing to keep them from the clouds , " till C o'clock in the morning , i when they arose and sang a hymn to I the sun. After this came a mental exercise on courage , perseverance or , some kindred thought. Thou tlio fain-1 ily descended to tlio garden , where they went through gymnastics and dances for an hour. After this theyj breakfasted and the duties of the day began. Mrs. Hoynton , who failed to suggest the equivalent of these distractions to bo practiced in the Now York flat , wont on to ray : "You are cursing your children , damning them and dooming them to hell on earth by sending them co ill- smelling schools. The child needs material food , but oven more needs food for the soul the stars and the ocean and music. " To leave the body free and untram melled , she declared , was the only way to keej ) young. Women of SO could thus keep beautiful. "You will never bo fat without cor sets , " said Mrs. Hoynton. IT IS NOW DEAN M'NAMARA. Alliance Priest Has Charge of Western Part of Nebraska. Alliance.

SCHOOL LUNCHES AT 3 CENTS.1 And They are all the Children Need , New York Doctors Say. New York , Jan. 22. - In public school No. 21 In Molt street , attend ed by 2,000 children , most of whom are Italians , an experiment Is being tried that may revolntIonize the pres ent luncheon system In the schools. About 200 children , ranging In age from 7 to M , are now being fed at noon. They pay three , four and live cents according to whether the.v have an ordinary dinner or fruit and cocoa , as well. The meal Is hot and well cooked , and , according to physicians on the committee. It contains more than enough nonrlHlimont for a child. Tlio luncheons are served under the direction of Miss Mabel II. Kittredgo and her co-worker , Miss Pool. John Doty , principal of tlio school , likes the meal served for three cents. Often he joins the little boys and girls. "The luncheons are Intended pri marily , " Mr. Doty says , 'for the chil dren of parents both of whom are bread-winners. The house is closed nil day , and the children , in most In stances , are ( oo young to prepare food for themselves , even if they went home. Those parents give their chil dren a few cents aploco. witli which to buy food , but the children were found , In many cases , to spend It on the way to school for candy. The ( cent luncheon consists of a baked apple or a cup of cocoa in ad dition to the H-coiit menu , and the fi-cent luncheon includes both extras. The movement is no sense of charity. The children pay in full for what they get. "The luncheons are served steaming hot at tables. The cooking Is Italian , so tlie children Dnd the tilings with which they are familiar. There is macaroni and spaghetti in abundance and often there Is a thick bean or pea soup with there slices of bread. Some times instead of soup , rice and toma toes are served. " In school 21 the children look for ward to tlio luncheon with evident interest. They run to the tables when meal time conies , and then after it they enjoy their work and their play all the more. DIPLOMAT DREW COLOR LINE. The Haytian Minister's Wife n White House Dinner Problem. Washington , Jan. 22. It is a long time since tlie diplomatic corps has been so agitated as it was last night by an incident at the dinner given by tlio president to the diplomatic corps. Tlie vexing color line 'problem was in volved. Directors of ceremonials at the white house affairs have long been disturb ed by the delicate problems involved in the entertainment of tlie different races represented by the diplomatic corps , and when Dupuy De Lome was minister from Spain to Washington he refused to take into dinner Mine. Leger , wife of the then Haytian minis ter. ter.The The remembrance of Dupuy De Lome's conduct caused a great deal of gossip in diplomatic circles as to what would be the course of the for eign minister assigned to Mine. San- non , wife of the present minister from Hayti. After a great deal of anxious thought the state department deter mined that the minister of Uruguay , Dr. Luis Molian Lafinur , should give his arm from tlio blue room , where the guests wore received , to the state dining room. Everybody appeared re lieved at the decision except so it is said , Doctor Latlnur. Everybody went into tlie state din ing room feeling happy , and even Doc tor Leilnur endeavored to rise to the occasion. He took Mine. Sannon to her seat and then to the dismay of the Europeans , he loft and started for the end of the table where he snt down. Then all of the guests hold their breaths while the men were taking their seats. The minister of tlie Neth erlands , Jonklierr J. Louden , a mem ber of a noble Dutch family , found himself at ono side of Mme. Sannon , and tlio minister of Venezuela , Senor Don P. Ezoquief Rojas , occupied tlio seat at the other side. Occasionally the men talked French to Mine. San non and arc said to have found her well educated , clever and oven witty. Tlie dinner passed off without any other incident. FOR EASY DIVORCE. Throw off all Restrictions Is the Advice - vice of Professor Blnckmnr. Lawrence , Kan. , Jan. 22. Divorce is natural. Divorce is a good thing. When man and woman cannot live to gether in peace or with willingness it is time they were parted. Hut the rapid growth of divorce Indicates evils which are not apparent on the surface , and it Is at these evils that the laws of the country should strike and not at divorce itself as an institution. " This is the statement of Prof. F. W. Blackmar of the sociology depart ment of the University of Kansas in a lecture to the classes in sociology. Professor Blackmar would put se vere restrictions on marriage. Ho would compel persons contemplating marriage to Drst pass a physical ex amination and then lie would have them announce their engagement a few months ahead and a legal notice of their intention to marry published in tlio papers. In this way , ho boliovcs hasty marriages could be avoided , and those wlio marry would bo more apt to do it deliberately. After he had made it as hard as possible to get married Professor Hlnckmar would then make it as easy as possible to got a divorce. In speak ing of this ho snld : "I do not believe a man and woman should continue to live together after they wish to sever tlio bonds , but that statement must have some qualifica tions. The man has assumed some re sponsibilities when ho takes a wife which the law should not allow him to shirk. Ho should be forced to care for the wife and children ho has. But the state should begin at the beginning of the marriage relation to eliminate what Is known as the 'divorce evil' It should exercise more precaution In regard to thoue who enter the mar ried state and then It will have less occasion to exercise jurisdiction In tlio breaking up of the marriage relation. "Tho rapid growth of divorce Is ono of the alarming problems of society , and the state must got at the caiiHo of divorce Itself for that is only the Indication of an evil that lies beyond the divorce court and starts when the state says to all : " 'Come , and wo will marry you. ' " IT'S A QUESTION OF SKIRTS. A Y. M. C. A. Dance Agitating n New York Suburb. Now York , .Ian. L'2 There \\as something doing In the way of cur tain lectures in tlie liiishwlek Inlet part of Brooklyn today when the wo men folk hoard a story to the effect that Valnska Suratt had danced partly undressed Saturday night In the week ly entertainment of the Green Point branch of tlie Young Men's Christian association. The rumor of the dance spread quick and wide and the more or less goody- goody young men who attended the reception or entertainment or what ever it was , got biisy In double quick time explaining. The further the story Hew tlio more skirtless It became , until Dually a whoop of horror arose from tlio wives , sisters and sweethearts of tlie mem bers of the Y. M. C. A. , and Mrs. Caudle's celebrated series of remarks became mere drowsy , good-natured ob servations compared with the feminine protests ; In tlio Pratt oil /.one. An agitated chorus of denials was , uttered loud and long by the Green Point Y. M. C. A. ollicials , under the leadership of M. J. Stlckoll , the secretary of the branch , who said Valeska Suratt was positively and ab solutely not at the entertainment , not in any manner , shape or form. Tlio bare idea of such a thing was ridicu lous , he said , and furthermore the affair was one of the nicest , sweetest , most proper things of the kind that ever took place in the building. All that happened , he said , was that a young woman of the neighborhood , ( i sister of one of tlie members of the branch Y. M. C. A. , did a little Greek dance a harmless little dance in Greek costume--flowing Greek cos tume , in Interpretation of Mendels sohn's "Spring Song. " "Was she barefooted ? " "No , " the secretary almost shrieked in terror. "No , she was not barefoot ed. Her dance was the height of pro priety. " If Taft Falls. Sioux City Journal : If President Taft falls to accomplish anything wortli while upon the lines mapped out he will be held responsible , but tiio main responsibility will not be his. It will rest on the shoulders of men who shout for progress , but are found trying to set the brakes while Presi dent Taft is turning on tlie power. They are doing tills for the most unworthy of political motives , namely , personal amibiton. They want to dis credit the present administration and the present leadership of tlio repub lican party in order that they may step into the leadership.
