" The modern club Is orootod upon this central thought , good fel lowship , soclnbil- " "foitis ' lly nnd n common V'J mooting mon IIUNIIY W. YATE3. The Otnnha club , the oldest social organ- ballon In point of continuous existence that the city can boast , was formed by n few of the younger mon of the metropolis In 1834 , the preliminary meetings taldng place in tbq directors' room of the Omaha Savings bank. Sixty men signed thu chnrter.o Ktho club nnd then ns now Iho membership ! represented the brains , the wealth , the business nnd pro fessional life of Omaha. J * Shortly uflor the formal organization of . tbo club , whoso llrat president was Itobert W. Patrick , n prime mover In Its formation , Iho club.took quarters in the top Hoer of the Arcade hotel , now the Casey , then under Iho tnunnnomont of Mr. Campbell , but there was no elevator , the service wbllo it was the best thnt could bo oblalncd was ordinary nnd Iho members were not particularly enthusi astic ever Ibo success of the notV candidate for social honors. After occupying rooms In the Arcade for n short time the club took apartments uvor the Omaha Savings hank whor ° n billiard table wo set up and several cardtanlcs put in , while Mr. Wil liam Paxton was building whnt la now the Wars block , nt the cor ner of Fifteenth nnd Fnnintnho future homo of the Omaha club. For years tbo club occupied the entire third floor of this building jirilil the erection tha Uiiltod Rotates bank build 'IIP several years . ngo , when Uio n- sO'DOJJAIIOB. . club ngnin was placed on wheels und occu pied the upattmcntB planned f or its reception , which it will continue to occupy until the club's new house nt Twentieth and Douglas is completed. "A year ngo last May the Union club , which had previously boon organized nnd occupied the rooms which the Omaha club vacated in the Wnro blocic , joined forces 'with the older organization , giving tbo Omaha club a big boom in mam- borshlp. The Omaha cjub is the premier club of the city nnu"its "members include , all the most prominent men'of almost every nationality , of overv religion and every trade or profes sion. In such a hatoroguiiooui mass some of coiirso must stand out clcnr from their tol- lows and are mon Known to the public from their wealth , from their oratory , from their business qualtllcatlons and every conceivable possibility that makes one man moro famous than another. No stronger of note comes to Omaha with good letters of Introduction nnd fails to bo "piit up" by the club. It is the resort of the army people , big railroad mag nates , heavy bank directors , rich corporation presidents , journalists , fat .ofllco holders , well-to-do business men In a word it is n club of great respectability nnd representa tive In character. Mr. Henry W. Yntos , its president , is thor oughly lilted by ago and experience to direct Its nITnirs. Born January 1 , ISUT , In Lcon- nrdtowu , Md. , his ooyhood was spent In that sleepy village and attending the public schools in Washington , which is only a short .distance nwny. In 18. > 3 , filled with a dcsiro to see the west and blaze for himself n pathway , Mr. Yates located In St , Louis , but only resided there a year when * t1JosQph became his dwelling place , and p entered the wholesale grocery house of love , McCord & Co. ns bookkeeper. In 1SOI wlion Nave , McCord & Co. established a branch In Omaha , Mr. Yates came hero ns tholr confidential agent. Later ho loft the firm nnd returned to St. Joe where ho was married.

In orgonlzlng the First National bunk , with which Institution ho wn-i con nected for nlnetron years In the capacity of assistant cashier and cashier. In ISS'J in connection with the Into A. E. Touzalln , then vlco president of the Chicago , Burlington una Qulnoy railway * the Nebraska National baiil ; writ orgnnlicd , Mr. Yates succeeding-to the presidency , which position ho has ever Binco hold. Mr. Yntes la a man of pro- iiounccd convictions , and , wbllo somewhat inrliiirn to tbo outsldo uubllc. u in o im his associates bo It esteemed an a. model citizen and a companionable gentleman ; just such u man ns ono would expect to see nt the head of tbo loading club In n large city. Mr. 13. J. O'Dosohoo , or Dan , ns be is familiarly known among his fel lows , Is the hocrotary of tbo club , nnd n model secretary ho Is. Born In Countv Cork , Ireland , in May , 185' .

The final scene In tbo drama of the High school commencement was enacted Friday evening at the Institution on the bill which turned out sixty-six young raon and women Wednesday. It was tbo annual reception of the alumni of the school , an event full of In terest to the older graduates and a wellspring - spring of delight to the class of ' 9) , fur it brought tbo latter into direct contact and placed them on n level with the boys and girls of former classes , now men and women grown. It would bo bard to Imagine n moro pic turesque scene than was presented to the looker on at the festivities of Friday night. Youth was iu the ascendency and pretty girls in tha smartest of graduation cowns knocked elbows with manly seniors who had climbed learning's hill with them and stood at the sulnmlt entitled to the diplomas which follow hard and conscientious work. Tbo balls of the building were nindo brilliant by immense locomotive headlights which dis pelled the shadows from nooks and corners and compelled the moro romantic inclined classmates to seek classrooms and deep window scats to talk ever the bygones nnd pledge anew their friend ships , while the muslo from n largo orchestra in the lower hall guided the waltzors through the dance. Pretty girls \voro largely in the majority and the men present were really tbo heroes of the hour and sought aflor with assiduous attention. Tboro was dancing for tboso who loved that sort of amusement , wbllo ono of the class roams above stairs was converted into a card room for the moro sedate guests , who either did not dance or bad tired of the waltz. And there were punch bowls , with dusKy waiters to servo tbo wishes of tbo maids and man , while something more sub stantial in the way of refreshments came on later. There were twelve nuubers on the dance program in addition to the following numoei's pmyod by Irvine's orchestra as a prelude to the' greater feast which followed : Marcn lllzh School Altiiniil Irvine Overture Itatidlton Strolch Stippo Selection Rrmlnle Jacobowskl Ouvotto Klist Heart Throb Kllunburg Polish Dunces Sohurwonkti rue recopuon commuieo , comoosou or Wallace BroatchCharles McConnoliCharles Hungato , Stacla Crowley , William McCaguo , Anne P.

The faculty of the school was present to aid in the morrymaliing , which did not terminate until after the mid night hour had boon marked by tbo boll m the tower of the building. IIISTOHV OE Till ! AI.UMNI ASSOCIATION" . The High School Alumni association is a growing organization. It has just boon in creased by the addition of sixty-six new graduates , nnd the prospects for over widen ing membership has never boon bottor. In fact , It is displaying a wonderful vitality for an infant of "but three yoars. But the present - ont association Is not thu tlrst attempt made in that direction nor was it any too early in making Its appearance on tbo scone. Altnougu uio men scuooi ouiuilngyas erected in thu summer of 1S71 vet tbo 11 rat class to graduate \vas that of 187(5. ( The com- mnncemcnt was hold In the largo auditorium of tbo building and was quite an event of the times. In 1877 tboro was no graduating class , but the small body of cloven alumni Whs increased again in 1878 , and since then bus annually received a regular In crement. The commencements were held , ono after another , in the Academy of Music , Boyd's ' opera house , the Grand opera house , until that of 1SIU toolt place in the now Boyd. With but four exceptions each successive graduating class bus been larger In point of numbers than that just preceding it. The following table shows their distribution both by classes and by sox 5 CLASSES. Class Of 187b , Clu Ofl8T7 .

Why this Is BO must probably bo explained by a multiplicity of causes , for the natural coudi Ion of western population would almost warrant a reversal of the Uguros. That no largo a body of educated young people , bound together by the strong tlus of Intimate association , could exert an influence for much good both upon one nod another and upon their alma mater was soon dUcornod , To effect any .common purpose an organization U iho primary requisite and so in the llr > t part of the last decade n move ment for tbo formation of an alumni associa tion wai started. At Its head were Mr. Will McCaeuo , ' 7t > , and Mlsi Stacla Crowley , ' 70 , who became president and secretary roipecltrely. Its activity , however , con tinued but a abort time when It seemed rather to vegetate than to thrive. With the class of 18S9 , the ilrst of solid numerical proportions , came a new linpetut to tbe association. Under the lead of Mr. Frank Lelsonrlng a reorganization wet brought about under a now constitution aud now officers. Mr. ClsofpSj Strang became provident nnd Mr. Frank ftalsonrlng secre tary. " Thov were succeeded the fallowing year by Mr. CurtU Turner nnd Mr. Gaorgo S. McCaguo respectively while the present ofUcers aro. Mr. Charlo-PS. Elitutter , presi dent , Mts Stacln Crowloy. secretary , nnd Howard Kennedy , Jr. , treasurer. The con- stltullon provided that on ijd.i'O shall select a vlc6 president from the ! own number , but the various classes havt : fillutl to-carry out this portion of the proced re. ' The chief purpose of t o association Is to maintain nnd exlond am rig the alumni of the High school the frat rnal toolings that have boon nroussd nnd lourlshed while I" that Institution. Thlssoi.nl part of thopto gram If attained by an a mual reception to onch now graduating cla < \i > t which the lav Icr'nro welcomed into thi fold nnd thu older rr.omboM renew tholr sohdol-day friendships. Those recaptions are reunions of the culti vated young people of tlto' commtlnltv nnd have nn educating as well ns a recreative function. The second nnd narhaps most Important aim of the Alumni association Is to usstit in buttering the High school In every possible \vay. The graduates are to lend their Influ ence , Individually and collectively , to the promotion of her welfare , to repay as far ns lies m their power the debt they owo. Thus far llttlo positive notion has boon taken In this direction , but It is proposed in tbo near future to establish prizes and scholarships for meritorious students.

Captain H. E. 'nlmcr of Omaha has alone purchased over 50,000 worth of property linely located adjacent to the town , on winch ho Is making extensive improvements , such us changing Iho channels of Big and Little Goosn creeks nnd cutting and clearing his property of arush. Those Improvements huvo greatly jonollted the city nnd given it n droased-up uppearanco , ns It were. Captain H. O. 1'hil- llps of Lincoln , Nob. , nlsq has made many ; argo purchases , the last one bolim that of about ISO acres of land from L. H. Brooks nt $100 per acre. ThU land lies southeasterly Trom the town and will , no doubt , b. . } cut up into valuable residence property. Captain Ii. E. Palmer has now completed platting the Collins eighty , which lies just o.ut of und adjoining iho town.

ThU bll of mt- vlco Is cousldorod a line plocoof sarcasm , nnd n reporter with a becoming respect for the dignity of his calling will never lay hlmsolt open to a second untmlllitlon of this sort. Hut If the yellow , swirling , rqpulslvo waters of the Missouriaro , ( ho despair oC the reporter , tlioro uro mon who uutuully make n business of watching the river. Some of them nro hired by Undo Sam and others nr on the payroll of brldgo uomp.inloj. It is thnir duty to moitsuro thu stngo of the > wntor nt least once n day and report the height ubovo low water nmrlt. liiti-ruitliiv ; I'Yuturin ol tlio Work. That may appear to bo a mechanical sort of a duty with result ] rather calculated to bore than to Intercut , nnd yet ono iiu y niauo a curious study of those selfsame roports. The Union Pacific has a man stationed at its bridge who measure : ) the stage of the water In foot and Inches. Uuclu Sam's 111:111 : at Sioux City makes hU record in foot and tenths of a fool. At BUniurck the govern- iiicnt observer lalto * t.bo low water niirlt ut SU Louis as his basis nnd gives the hum lit of iho river in fcot mid hundredth * above that point. Hcrj are thruo Uifforolit systems with the mo.tsurumonts varying In nicety from a tenth to a hundredth of an Inch. Thou there Is the hour of obisrvatlon , which Is 0 n. in. at Omaha and Sioux City , and 0 p. in. at Bismarck. At Union L'uclflc headquarters thoykeep the record from these three points. From these It appears that when the Missouri Is sixteen foot above low water at Omaha it moans danger for the embankments of that railroad in this point imd perhaps for Its bridge. Yasturday the Dig Muddy made its highest record for the year , reaching thir teen feel nnd eight inches. Friday morning it had dropped just QUO inch. The reader must not Jump at the conclusion that the water will rapidly subside. \Vlmt tlio lli'oorcl Inillrntoi , The report from HUmnrcic shows that the river Is still high ntthat point , and by study ing the record ono 11 mis Unit the water passIng - Ing the North Dakota city today will reach Omaha from seven to nine days later.Vhon n rise is reported nt Sioux City it taltos from twulvo to twenty-lour hours to make it uo- tlcuablo at this point. It is a diverting occupation to study the record and notice how regular ) v the rule wnrlta. The low water murls at Olsmurck Is Kilb foot above that of St. Louis. Oo May Id the river rose to UH'J ' ,13 , nud seven days later it went up about n foot at Omaha. It continued high for six days nt Bismarck nnd four at Omaha. On Juno 1 the river ut Bis- mnrclc rose from 1020.90 to 1031.35. The Hist effect nt Omaha was noticed Juno 6 , when the record was eleven foot , ever n foot higher than on the previous a ay , and it gradually wont un to t'wolvo foot ana ilvo inches on Juno ia. On Juno lit Bismarck re ported the rjyur up to 1020.8J feet , and that high water muilo itself manifest at Omaha on Jnno ID , the record Jumping from tun foot eleven inches to twelvo-feot two Inches. The river has gradually gene up at Bis marck , the guusio marking Hi-1. ) . 15 foot Thurs day , and high water may be expected to continuo - tinuo at this point for avcoli yet. The daily rise up north has been by small fractions of n foot , from which It ii argued that the snows of the mountains nro molting craduully. The further deduction from this is that the danger of disaslroun Hoods is lessening every day. Another curious thing is the Tact that the river is considerably higher atoloux City limn nt Omaha. For example , on Juno 18 it was ten fcot eleven Inches at thli point and fourteen nnd oiio-tenth foot at Sioux Uttv. The high water reached Omaha Urn next morning , raising thu gauge to Uvolvo feet two inches. At bloux City the nigh water mark was reached on Wednesday , when It was liftecn nnd one-tenth feet.
