Much could bo done for Omaha In a musi
cal wny It the church choirs would combine
for oratorio and concert singing. Such an
organization would stimulate Individual
singers to the highest musical development
and might eventually result In bringing out
a phenomenon. Jessie Uartlell Davis first
attracted attention by her singing In "Pina
fore'1 with the Chicago Church 'Choir as
sociation moro than a dozen years ago. To
Uucp together such largo body of singers
would necessitate systematic discipline and
sustained effort on the part of the leaders ,
but among the musicians in the city there
nro several who arc entirely competent to
conduct the work.

The annual mooting of the Douglas County
\grlcnltural Society and Fair association
vas held yesterday afternoon at the Board
of Trade , and the now regime of the past
vear guvo an account of Its stewardship.
-The society still found Itself In debt , but
latlsfactory reasons were given to account
for not having been able to pull out to a
solid linatiel-il footing.
The report of Secretary Engclnanu
showed a membership of'JI.I. A brief re
view of the annual fair of is'.u ' was given ,
showing that fOOJO in premiums was offered ,
riw total amount of premiums awarded ,
outside of the speed classes , was gllM.Vi ) ! , of
which $1(18.71 ( was ordered palil , ami , on no-
count of not having any funds in \\\o \ \ ttvas-
iry , certificates of Indebtedness wore Issued.
Jot-ember 1 , IS'I ' , > , the secretary reported
.hut the board of managers had authorized
: ho Issuance of eertitleatos of indebtedness
to meet demands In excess of funds on hand ,
mil that thccerlltleates amounted to $ ' . ) ' . ) 1.40.
Since the now board of managers went
nlo oflloo several claims which wcro con
tracted In the year IS'Ji ' had to bo settled
nut the amount of certificates run up to ? ! , -
1 W.yt ) , of which amount SW7.7. > has been paid
and certificates called In.
Two cerllHe.Ues were cancelled , leaving
? ii.SO : ! unpaid.
The report of the secretary for 1S ! > ) showed
Lhui by u clerical error several horsemen had
lieon overpaid to the amount of $ .VU.f 0. of

The amount paid out in warrants was ? 10-
235.-15 and Si,74JS5 in cortlllcatcs which bear
8 per cent interest. Tlie cash in the treasury
amounts to S174.SS.
Tlio report of City Treasurer Hollu was
corroborative oC that of the secretary , and
both wcro accepted and placed on file.
A iwess was then taken to allow old and
prospective member. * to pay their dues , a
motion by C. E. Erlliug to appoint a com
mittee to investigate the reports of the secretary -
rotary and treasurer being ruled out of
order , on the ground that the reports had
been approved by a committee consisting of
City Clerk Groves , County Auditor Tatoaml
J. W. Fcad.
After the recess , President Walsh stated
tint there was no disguising the fact that
the society was in the hole.
It was so a year ago , when the present board
took control , and was even moro so at the
present time. Ho thought there was ample
oxeuso for tills , however , as the gate re
ceipts this year showed a falling oft of $1,50J ,
the speed entries were short the same
amount and tno Douglas county appropria
tion $300. a total of § 3,80. ) , while the society
was but f 1,400 deeper In debt than it was a
year ago. The president was of the opinion
that no .member of the board need bo
ashamed of the record.
Nominations for president were called for
and Joseph A. Conner gave a brief history
of agricultural happenings from the time
Nero conducted a horse trot ami pumpkin
show in ancient Homo to the close of the
great Columbian fair. In conclusion ho
placed the name of J. A. Walsh before the
meeting. John F. McArdlo was also nomi
nated , but Walsh received thirty-one votes to
eight for McArdle and Walsh was then given
a second term by acclamation.
Vice President Conner. Secretary Englc-
maiin and Treasurer Bolln were speedily
given a dose of the same tonic.
The following were elected members of the
board of directors : G. W. Ilorvey , J. F. Mc
Ardle. O. J. Pickard , G. S. Ambler , E. II.
Walker , Omer Whitney , Fred Schroder , W.
N. Nason and A. 1 * . Akcrlimd.
The meeting was the most harmonious
that the society has hold for years , the
me tubers being apparently well pleased with
the conduct of affairs under the mntuwronient
of IS'J ; ) . The only opposition was from the
Millard contingent , which wanted the an
nual fair held at that point instead of
Omaha , but the unpopularity of the scheme
was evidenced by the vote of four to ono on
president.
The mooting adjourned subject to call of
the chair.

German circles In Omaha were not ngi-

ust past. Attendant upon Thanksgiving , of
course , which this tlmo brought with It the
irst real cold blast of winter , n few minor
entertainments ami the usual dinner parties
vero given In observance of the day. But
tiost of the sturdy people of that natloiullty
remained tit tholr own firesides , preferring
ho comfortable warmth omitted by the
adlators and base burners at tholr own
uimes Instead of facing the chilly , ico-laden
breath of Boreas.
The culinary fr.igranco dlltused by the
casting of a Juicy goose or duck and the
cooking of many delicacies by the housowlto
ilso proved of stronger alluring qualities
ban fetes elsowhoro. Speaking of tooth
some meat for the table , the gobbler of this
country has never been able to hold his own

uscious meal being prepared for a pure
loscendant of the Gorman. Almost
nvariably ho will pronounce it too dry for
temolishlng with much appetite. The

rcplacu the gander In the Gorman heart.

Aside from this llttlo un-American appetite
iho Germans of Omaha have always Jlrlved
to become good citizens of the country that
offers them an equal chance In the race for
wo.iltn with native born and men of other
nationalities. Hero many have amassed
riches and nearly all of thorn have reared
children which were brought up thoroughly
imbued with American Ideas.

The Holla society gave an entertainment
to quito a number of Invited guests at
Pabst hall last night.
Master Lieberknecht , ns the Initial n.irt of
the entertainment , displayed his skill on the
zither. This was followed by several solos
by Miss Wolf , Mr. Lioborknceht. sr. , and
others. D.mclng was also indulged in to the
satislaction of the young people present.
Mrs. Ijljharknc-cht recited a comic illus
tration from anti-woman's

point which earned for her tlio approval of
her hearers. The Ltcdcrtafcl and Holla
both rendered several vocal selections.
The event of the ovcniue , however , was
the rcudltioa of the tenor solo , ' - GoodNight

bund. It elicited for him such continued
applause that ho had to respond a second
time in order to appease the audience.

Quito a number of South Omaha's young
men have under consideration the starting
of a gymnastic society in the packing town.
It is said that some forty signatures have
already been secured and other promises
made which insure such a society being
called into existence in the near future. Sev
eral preliminary meetings have been heldand
next Tuesday evening's gathering for this
purpose at "Bauer's concert hall will decide
definitely when to begin exercises. It is also
stated that Instructor Emil Walzcnborn of
the Omaha Turnverein will bo asked to
drill the class of actives. Several years ago
South Omaha had such a societ.y. but for
lack of sulllcicnt interest it was allowed to
gradually disintegrate. Some of the appar
atus of that organization was turned over to
the Omaha society until a moro vigorous
club organization could bo called Into exist
ence.

An Kvrnlng With I'ntlicr
In thcso days , when magazines are filled
with records of the discoveries and domes
of astronomers , it awakens a desire to peer
Into thu heavens and see what can bo seen.
Such an opportunity urcscnted itself a few
oveiiings ago by a kind Invitation from
Father Riggo to take a trip heavenward.
AS many readers of Tin ; BIE are aware ,
on Croighton college campus stands a small
and unpretentious observatory. The tele
scope , though not pretending to the great
dimensions of tlio Lick , being only n lire
and ouu-half inch glass , is all that could bo
desired by amateurs and is considered tlio
best In the state. While adjusting it to the
proper angle Father Riggo explained the
difference in size and advantages of the
Lick and Yorkos telescopes.
The moon was lirst viewed , or , as Father
Riggo called it , "a slice of green cheeso. "
Next , Jupiter and his four moons , u most
fortunate event , as they nro not always
visible.
Adjoining the observatory there Is n small
room where different instruments are kept
for taking time by the stars and various
appliances for noting atmospheric condi
tions. Father Riggo , with great patience ,
explained them and their workings , showing
that ho is not only a great student of
astronomy , but also in the mysteries of olcn-
triclty , of which great use is made iu tills
room.
