Meeting of tlic I'roNs Club They Will Not lie Jnck CmlcH Going fi r tlic Gerinnnlii'H llccr Her- verH CourlH. A Slick Forger. A young man iibont twcnty-ono yrnri of nge , n Rented , good looking , fellow , dressed In elurk clothes nnd u soft bluck tint uppc.irt'd nt the oflleo of the Omnlin Coal , Coku & Lltno company ono Any the latter part of last week nnd ordered ftt worth of coal to bo sent to the residence of C. W. Thomas , the grain dealer. In payment ho handed the member of the company waiting upon him a check for * 25. This cheek was signed C. W. Thomas , and after the clerk had scrutinized It closely , ho seemed apparently mitlsilcd that it was O. K. , and handed the young man 10 in change. The latter then directed that the coal bo Bent up Immediately ns they wcro entirely out , and with a suave "good mornIng - Ing , " departed. The fuel was accordingly ( tent to Mr. Thomas' , and in the evening the latter applied at the company's ' to as certain who had given the order. This led to the discovery Unit the company had been the victim of Homo smooth gentleman , as jlr. Thomas most emphatically pronounced the check ft forgery. The authorities were notified of the transaction , and the best men of the force detailed to look the matter up. Their efforts , however , were futile , and the common supposition was that the forger had made good his cscupo by leaving the city. Yesterday , however , brought most sub stantial proof that the young gentleman who tiad evinced such a proficiency in the science of chlrography , had not left the city , but was Ktill here , ami as nctivoand prosperous In the pursuit of his little scheme as ever. Messrs. Little & Williams , grocers , 1407 Douglas street , called at the oflleo of Chief Scaveyand informed him Unit they , too. had Dccn victlmbcd , and ns evidence of this statement they handed him a chock for $ ! i. > , signed by C. W. Thomas. From the description they gave of the uttcrer of the check , it was the Hanio good looking , lluent talking young gentleman who had beaten the eoal company. Ho had ordered some six or eight dollars worth of groceries , and received the balance of the check In currency. The detectives are diligently searching for the smooth youth , nut witli little prospect of apprehending him. Ho Is evidently a vdry skillful crook and ono who knows how to successfully cover his tracks. Whether these two arc the only in- Btances of tils rascality hero is of course as yet unknown , but the likelihood is that other checks will turn up within the next twenty-four hours. This forger is undoubtedly the same party who has been working the same racket recently in Topeka und St. Joe. In the lat ter place , according to the telegraph , differ ent merchants were duped by this process out of something like ftJ.VI , and in each in stance the description of the man tallies ex actly with that given by the co.il company u 11 i.l Messrs. Uittlu & Williams here. The Press Glut ) . The Press club held a regular meeting at the now rooms Sunday afternoon. A largo number of members of the organization wcro present. There was but llttlo business trans- ncted besides the election of four active and six honorary members , The fitting up of the now rooms Is now nearly completed. Plans for the benefit entertainment which will bo given ut Boyd's February 20 wcro discussed and it can safely bo said that it will bo the , most Important amateur performance ever given in Omaha. All of the leading local musicians have volunteered their services nnd several ladies have signified their willing ness to assist. Offers from Council Bluffs nnd other cities are received daily. Several have been accepted. It Is thointention of the club to give a refined and humorous enter tainment and ono that will lonir bo rcmem- bcred in Omaha. All of those who will take part are now working hard and regular rc- hear.sals will begin this week. The IJoys Arc Honest. Julius Hudowsky , sr. , representing the parents of the boys mentioned in an article published In Saturday's Unra entitled "Where Jack Cades came from , " called at the Hii : : office yesterday. Mr. Uudowsky says the report made by Patrick O'Donncll to the chief of police concerning the doings , of cer tain boys in the vicinity of Twcnty-ilrst and Pierce streets was false as to the fact and malicious as to purpose. Mr. Uudowsky makes the following state ment : ' 'About twenty boys In my neighbor hood have organised a club ; they dug a hole , on the bank of a small creek about 10x12 on a vacant lot in Sliull's addition ; for this they had Mr. Sliull's consent and the purpose of the cave was for a meeting place for their club. Mr , Shull and several others denoted a number of trees , old boards and other things lor the completion of the cave. Each member of this club was assessed 10 cents per month for coal and oil. About two months airo Eddie O'Uonnell came into ttio cave one evening and begged to bo allowed to sleep in the cave as his father hntl driven him out of the house. The boys gave their permission to this and bomo of tlipm furnished him blankets. Hy doing chores in the neighborhood young O'Donncll earned his meals , Some of the boys visited the O'Donnoll homo and bcuurcd the mother's permission for the boy to como homo ; when Patrick O'Donnoll ' , the father came home , ho sent the boy away again. The boy was very poorly dressed and bare footed but ho went to the cave again nnd told the boys what his father had done. One of the boys , Fred Hainel , took him to his house , bogging his mother to let him stay with him. Tim boys iravo him Sl.SU , all they had in their fuel fund , to buy medicmo with , and waited on him in turn. After ho got well they urged him to try once more , to como homo , and his father , having heard a good deal criticising his doings by neighbors , let him stay , but instead of thanking the boys for their noble act , ho goes , to tho. chief of police and pronounces them thieves and hoodlums. " Mr. Kudowslcy has lived thirty-one years in Omaha , and says that his statement that the club was simply an organization of it number of honest , enterprising lads will bo corroborated by twenty responsible citizens who know the facts , and believed by all whc have known him during his residence hero. Farewell. ' Wednesday evening , January 11 , at Uoyd's opera house , the farewell concert of Nahnn Franko will take place. This will bo the last anpeantnco of Mr. Frauko in Omaha , and those who have upon so many occasions been entertained with his excellent efforts will for the last time listen to the notes of tils violin. The occasion \vill bo marked by u largo attendance of Omniums. The following will take part in the pro gramme : Mrs. Edith Franko , Mine. MUCH- toforlng , Mine. Young , Mr 11. 1) . YoungMr , Martin Calm , Philharmonic society. Success oT the Nlftht Schools. Two additional night schools opened last evening , the llnrtman and Castollar schools , which make a total of live ID operation. The other three are the Leaven worth , Center und Cass. Tills is proving t very meritorious innovation in educational affairs , as the attendance nt each of the hchools Is very largo , and the students arc jirofuso In their expressions of appreclatlor pml gratitude to the bo.ird for fimiishiiiK them with this opportunity to acquire an education , which otherwise would bo denied thcin. The Cnhlo Lino. it That the cable cars do not run more regu t- larly Is the. matter of much comment and 11 UIB : representative called on President John son yesterday to. ascertain the cause. II < stated that the two new grips received las ! week did not work satisfactorily and they liai * to bo overhauled. These repairs would take several days yet before completion. Thi , company have plenty of coaclies but it will l > < two weeks yet beCcrc tbc curs Will bc'i-uu nlng on schedule Ume. Four passenger cars. ihlppcil from New York by the Union Star Line , arrived n few days ago jn a badly dam aged condition , having been In a wreck. They are now being repaired. Mr Johnson re ported that the business of the company thus far , taking Into consideration thu Irregularity of the service given , was most gratifying nnd ho is confident that when the cars begin to run regularly that the patronage will be very largo. nK.vcii A"NI > HAH.

The new law relating to county commis sioners gives to the three elected in the last campaign ? 1SK ( ) per year. To those holding over from the old board It allows but $3 a day. In the Douglas board the latter are Messrs. O'Kccfo and Mount. Under the old law it is hold that the commiaionersshallbepaidattho rate above mentioned together with mileage in poing to and returning from the board meetings wlncJi are supposed to bo held but twice a week. The old commissioners forsev- cral years huvo been in the habit of occupy ing nearly all the time In attending to county iiffairs , holding that the necessities of Douglas county wcro such ns to require this attention. Under the lew law the later commissioners may spend : heir whole time , or if they attend but two neetings per week , they will receive the same iimountof pay $1MK ) . That is al the rate of about 535 per week. Under the law the old commissioners would bo able to earn exactly $ i n week independent of mile age. "I do not propose , " | said Com missioner O'ICeofo. "to work for six dollars a week. I can't afford it. No body can afford it. There is enough work to keep the commissioners going all the time. If the commissioners arc working all the time , why shouldn't they be paid for it ) There is moro work outside than there is Inside the oHlce. Heretofore what was everybody's business was nobody's business. That has been changed. Now it is a matter of committees , and you know moro time is spent in getting committee reports ready than there is in making them , tt'hcso men who are getting $ lbX ( ) a year can afford to spend their whole time in the business , but wo can not ut $ < a week. To illustrate : There is now sufficient work for three commissioners , for tlirco months to do nothing else , but check the tax list in the county trcasuicr's office. It will require the other two men to keep track of the applica tions for poor relief , which always require at tention. In the summer there is just as much to attract our attention in other ways. There is now pending before the flnanco com mittee a claim of about $170 , I think , of ex-Commissioner Timine. This is to make up the discrepancy between the old and the new salary. Ho holds that although he was an old member of the board ho was entitled to the sftmo salary as the now members are receiving , which generally averaged since the law went into effect about twenty dollars per month moro than ho received. The committee , I have spoken of have been instructed to get legal advice on the subject. " Dicliold Safes.

The super.stHiously inclined county officers nt the court house nro much exorcised over an incident connected with the dinner given iiy County Commissioner Mount , January 2. Shortly after the guests were seated at the hospitable board it was noticed that Mr. S. S. Auchinocdy was deathly palo and that District Clerk Mooro's face bore u fright ened look. Commissioner O'Kccfe's soup remained untouched while Sheriff Cobuvn seemed about to faint. Inquiry as to these alarming symptoms disclosed the fact that the fatal thirteen guests were present. Much discussson over this omen of disaster was in dulged in and finally it was determined to go on witli the dinner nnd let fate take her course. It is the popular belief that if thir teen guests sit down at a table ono of them is sure to dlo within a year. Following is the list of the fated thirteen : W.J. Mount , D. O'Kecfo , William L. Turner , P. C Corrlgan , L. M.Anderson , Frank MoorosWilliam Co- burn , T. A. Megeath , O. W. Shields , C. A. Howes , J. U. Hruner , S. S. Auchmocdy and Miss Maggie Truland. Ho Was Pmlmbly Drugged. O\HII \ , Neb' . , Jan. ' . ) . To the Editor of the Hin : : In the Issue of your paper of January 7 , an item appeared against ono Andrew Cvanson , who lias worked for us n number of years. The Item stated that Evansou had been on a prolonged spree , and that he had lost his diamonds , gold watch , money , etc. Wo wish to state that Mr. Evanson , for the past two years , has not boon known by us to take a drop of any kind of intoxicating liquor. Ho has during this time been sober , steady , reliable and industrious , and wo believe - lievo that Mr. Evanson was , in some way , made the victim of some contemplated scheme whereby ho was drugged and made to appear drunk , Mr. Evauson has not lost ono cent of his money , nor his Jewelry , und is still In our employ. Wo wish to state those facts in simple Justice - tico to htm , as we think Justice should bo meted to nlL EDKOI.M & AKI.V. Unlicensed Ileer Jerkcrs.
