Meeting * *
The Plcrson meeting at Broadway church
last evening was opened with prayer by Rev.
Mr. Hall of Randolph , la. In addition to the
largo chorus choir , a number of talented
singers were secured to charm the audience
In the absence of Mr. Johnson , who left for
Chicago yesterday. Mis. J. A. Roll sang a
beautiful solo , entitled "Beyond the Sowing
and the Reaping , " after which prayer was
offered by Rev. Henry Coker. Charles Haver-
stock rendered that sweet old hymn , "One
Sweetly Solemn Thought. "
The text was Isaiah , xlv , 22 : "Look unto
me , and bo ye saved , all the ends of the
earth , for I am God , and there Is none else. "
Mr. I'lerson spoke In part as follows : "In
this text we find four great themes. 'Loolf
unto me' the first step 'and be ye saved1
salvation on the easiest possible terms ,
'All the ends of the earth' salvation to the
greatest possible number. 'For I am God ,
and there Is none eUc' salvation from the
highest possible authority.
"Salvation la the greatest possible blessing
that can como to a man , because It remove !
the greatest possible curse the loss of . '
soul. In this life there are generally three
grounds of action proof , probability and ros-
slblllty. I wish to present Christ and hi !
salvation to you upon positive proof. The
bible has been proven over and over. Uul
perhaps you cannot accept this proof. Wher
a man enters business he ha no proof thai
he will succeed. He- probably will. When 1
started for this place tonight I did' ' not knov
I would preach. It waa only probable. Met
even go farther than this. They Invest theli
money In plans nnd schemes where succcsi
Is poss.blo , not . 'ure , nor even probable. Thcsi
men have no reason for not accepting Christ
'Look unto Me and be ye saveJ. '
"The evil one Is whlsrcrlng to the unsaveJ
'Peace , peace , ' when there Is no peace. Then
is no peace outside of Christ. Morality
humility and brotherhood will not save you
Look unto God and bo ye saved. Salvattoi
for a look. May God glvo you grs.ce to lool
to Him tonight. "
After the sermon nearly the entire audl

The Board of Equalization held a vei
brief session last evening , but accomplish !
the feat of getting around to exactly the poll
where Is started several days ago , and thi
quit for the present.
The first thing that confronted the aide
men whsn they met was a petition fro
Officer & Pusey asking for a reduction
taxes on lands lying Inside the corporate
and adjoining the property owned by LJonai
Everett , who was favored with a reductli
at the session on the previous evening. Son
of the aldermen had been remarking strict
entre nous that the only reductions co f
granted had beui to the millionaires of tl
city , and they were In a favorable mood
Jump upon this last bankers' proposition wl
death dealing vigor. This they preceded
do and rejected the petition almost before
had ben presented. This prepared the wi
for a reconsideration of the action on t :
Evcrott property , and a motion to put bai
Everett's assessment to the original flgu
was quickly .rrade and carried.
Two remonstrances were received from t
First National bank , one from Preside
San ford , and the other from the stockholdei
Both were received and placed on file. A m
tlon was then made and cnrrled to let all
the bank assessments stand as returned
the assessor. This ended the whole vex
question , and the aldermen took up the wal
works assessment with less timidity th
formerly. Discussion lasted about half
minute , when a resolution was Introduc
raising the assessment of the plant to $50,01
and this went through without a kick.
The clerk was Instructed to post notices
all assessments that had been raised , as i
quired by law , and the council adjourned

The tetter says the child was under 17 years

Kiinblilo | Over u llnnrd Hill.
Mrs. A. C. Luke , who operates a boarding
house In the southern part of the city , Is
having a rather unpleasant experience In en
deavoring to secure payment of a board1 bill.
Rhhatd J. Con'on and wlfo have bten o.cjpy-
Ing a suite of rooms and boarding there for
sonio time on a contract to pay $60 a month ,
which Mrs. Luke understood was just half
the monthly salary of Mr. Condon , Condon
Is reputed to bo one of the employes of the
new telephone company. A few days ago some
one conveyed the Information to Mrs.
Luke that Condon was receiving a
monthly salary of $30 Instead of $100 ,
and she saw poor prospects of getting her $50
a month board bill. She was not well posted
In Iowa law , but she flttcj her actions to the
emergency of the case , and during the tem
porary absence of her boarders she entered
their rooms and took possession of everything
they possessed In the w'ay of personal prop
erty. This consisted of clothing and two
or three hungry looking grips. These she
conveyed to her own apartments and locked
them up and turned a deaf ear to Condon's
derands for the use of his wife's and his own
property. To bring matters to a climax
Condon filed an Information yesterday mornIng -
Ing charging her with theft , and a search
warrant was sworn out of Justice Vlen'p court
and given to Constable Baker with orders to
search the lions ? and bring the missing prop
erty Into court If It could b ? found. This
was successfully accomplished and all of the
clothing except what Mr. and Mrs. Condon
had on their persons was displayed to tha
curious eyes of the gang of loafers that hang
around the justice shops. It was on exhibi
tion all yesterday afternoon , and Just before
the hour of closing It was taken to Justice
Walker's court with the case on a change of
venue. It will be open for Inspection thera
until 2 o'clock this afternoon , when the case
will be disposed of In some manner.

What promised to be a duel to the deal
between two noted characters was narrow !
averted at the recent term of the dlstrli

were O. H. Flagg , editor of the Buffa
Voice , and once known as "Jack Flagg , Kir
of the Rustlers , " and Scott Davis , sometlmi
called "Qulckshot Davis. " Davis was ]

the court on the charge of shooting at ar
ed attempting to kill AI Taylor , Flagg's stepso
10 , during the Invasion ot Johnson county
1893 , In which both Irvine and Davis flgun
as leaders In the stockmen's party. Tl

"You are Scott Davis , aren't you ? "
"Yes , sir , " answered Davis.

Another long line of delegates to the tenth
supreme council of the Catholic. Knights of
America with significant red , white and
blue badges fluttering from their coat lapels ,
filed up the stairway at Chambers' academy
yesterday. At 9:30 : the distinguished
visitors were In convention assembled to dls-
pose of business Incidental to the third day
cf their deliberations.
Archbishop Gross opened the session with
prayer. After roll call , which dlscloied few
absentees , the convention received resolu
tions and communications , which were re
ferred to various committees.
Delegate Edward Fceney of New York
sprung a surprise In the form of a resolu
tion Inviting the Young Men's Institute mem
bers to Join the Catholic Knights of America.
This was followed by a resolution presented
by Delegate T. P. O'Keefe of New Mexico ,
asking the Young Men's Institute and kin
dred Catholic societies to make a formal
proposition to be merged Into the Catholic
Knights of America , For a few moments It
looked as though there would be a renewal
of the prolonged debate of the preceding day
In which the federation forces -vere routed.
This \\as averted , however , by a prompt ref
erence of the resolutions to the committee on
laws.
laws.Dr.
Dr. Averdlck of Covlngton , Ky. , arose to a
question of special privilege. He wanted a
special meeting of the committee on griev
ances called to take up the Fltzpatrlck case
of Indiana. The request was granted and
the committee will report on the subject
later.
After referring several relief and other
cases to committees the convention went
Into committee of the whole upon motion of
W. C. Smith of Kentucky. Ex-Supreme
President Coleman was called to the chair
by Supreme President Shine.
The convention then resumed action on the
report of the committee on laws. The rec
ommendation of the committee to reject the
rroposed amendment to article 101 of the
constitution , submitted by branch 68 , was
adopted.
DEFEATED ENDOWMENT PLAN.
The feature of the morning conference ,
however , was the debate on the attempt to
Incorporate the endowment plan of Insur
ance in the constitution.
The fight for endowment was led by Wil
liam Early of Pennsylvania , who Is also a
member of the committee on laws. He sub
mitted a minority report of that committee
when Chairman O'Connor reported an adverse -
verse majority report on the following prop
osition submitted by branch ,118 of Phila
delphia : . .
"When a member for tile period of twenty
years has continued In good standing with
out Interruption , an3 at the expiration of said
period becomes physically , unable to earn a

made to the supreme secretary ho shall draw
an order on the supremo' treasurer for half
of said brother's certificate under the same
laws as govern widows' nnd orphans' fund ,
as provldoJ In paragraph 34 , page 16 , supreme
constitution. '
"The applicant will bo required to make
his statement as to hls'drsquallflcatlons Jn
writing to his branch with affidavit from-
notary or magistrate certifying to the truth
of the same. The branch shall then refer
same to Its board of trustees for Investiga

Discussion followed , In which Early o
Pennsylvania , who bears a striking resem
bianco to Milton Nobles and IB oftex m'stakei
for that actor , made a good fight , but thi
odds were against him. O'Connor of Georgli
and Smith of Kentucky opposed the endow
ment feature and claimed that Its adoptloi
would conflict with the charter. The ma
Jorlty report , which was adverse to the pro
posed amendment to the constitution , wai
ratified by the convention and the endowmen
proposition was Irrevocably lost when It cami
to a vote.
The question of changing the deposltorle
of the organization caused a prolonged discus
slon , but the committee rsport , recommendlni
no revision of the present system of the su
preme treasurer , was endorsed. In fact th
minority reports of the committee on law
were not In It at any stage of the conventlo ;
proceedings when the question was put.
The delegates rejected the attempt to estab
llsh a new official organ , known as the Cathc
lie Knight , and have practically ratified th
majority report of the committee on law
thus far.

Yesterday afternoon wajdevoted to fui
ther consideration of th < Trtrrt of the corr
mlttee on laws. The principal feature (
the work was the defea't''df the propose

speedy negative fate which/Overtook ( the a
tempt to revive the sentiment to admit fi
males to membership In the 'organization.
No radical changes were1 made In tl

agreed upon were with respect to clauses i

After a busy day Incidental to n conven
tion of the supreme council of the Catholic
Knights of America It was somewhat of a
relief for the delegates to the tenth annual
conference of that organization to accept the
hospitalities of the Omaha branch at the
Commercial club last evening , when the de
bates of the day were forgotten In social
enjoyment.
The reception and banquet thus tendered
the supreme delegates was undeniably a suc
cess "which met with the due appreciation of
the recipients. The capacity of the large
dining halls of the club was fully tested.
Three hundred or more of representative
Catholic citizens from various states of the
union shared the pleasures of the evening.
The delegates , officers and their ladles
were all In attendance , Including Supreme
President M. T. Shine of Covlngton , Ky. ,
Supreme Vice President Hannauer , Supreme
Secretary O'Rourke , Supreme Treasurer
Klrchner , Supreme Medical Examiner Aver
dlck , Supreme Trustees McGulnncss , Carroll
and Walsh , ex-Supreme Presidents W. C.
Smith and W. J. O'Neill , ex-Supreme Med
ical Examiner E. J. Brennan and others.
Supreme Spiritual Adviser Gross occupied
ho seat of honor , with Mayor Bemls at his
ilde. The Catholic clergy was represented
by Archbishop Gross cf Portland , Ore. , Vicar
General Cliokn , Secretary Colanerl , Fathers
Walsh , Jennette , Erd , Callahnn , Jungels of
Omaha , Father Cassldy of Salt Lake , Father

Major Furay and wife led the march to
the banquet hall , while Nordln's orchestra
discoursed music during the serving of the
menu. The tables were appropriately dec
orated In a floral way , and all arrangements
conducted upon the theory that the best was
none too good for the distinguished visitors.
The local committee of arrangements , whose
ambition to thus please everybody In this
respect was happily attained , with credit to
themselves and the city of Omaha , consisted
of Messrs. J. T. Smith , George J. Paul , J.
M. Kenney , F. J. Burkley , Andrew Murphy ,
J. J. O'Connor , W. A. L. Gibbon , W. M.
Bushman and J. A. Whalen.
JOHN RUSH LED OFF.
At 10:30 : the toast card was announced
John Rush was toastmaster. He made an
Introductory speech , In which he told the
delegates many Interesting things of the city
In which they were now holding their coun
cil. The past , present and future of Omaha
was reviewed In graceful language. He cited
the fact that the Irish were among the early
pioneers who built , not only Omaha , but the
state of Nebraska. The progress of the city
of Omaha , from an outpost of civilization tea
a metropolitan marvel , was referred to. The
speaker particularly emphasized the educa
tional advantages of Omaha and the loyally
of Catholic citizens to liberty-loving prin
ciples. The Catholics were glad to note that
the public school system of Omaha was one
of the greatest In the country. It made no
difference whether the school houses were
red or white , or whether a flag floated over
them or not , the Catholics took pride In the
educational centers at the disposal of the
youth of Omaha. The manhood and patriot
ism of Irish-Americans was upheld , and , In
conclusion , he welcomed the delegates by
extending the hand of Omaha and heart of
Nebraska.
In response to "Omaha" Mayor Bemls
plunged Into history , showing that Catholic
explorers were on Nebraska soil years before
Omaha was thought of. The progress of
the city from tlte primitive architecture of
pioneer days up to the present data was
dwelt upon by the speaker with evident pride.
He read a few statistics of Industrial and
commercial Omaha. In the course of his re
marks the mayor eulogized George Francis
Train , to whose efforts In early days , as a
walking advertising medium , he believed
Omaha owed n debt of gratitude. The mayor
said that In the last legislature Omaha was
the best "misrepresented city of any other
metropolis on God's footstool. " Tills senti
ment elicited applause from the Omaha con
tingent. He regretted the fact that Omaho
did not own the water works plant and the
street railway system , because ? he believed
that municipal ownership meant cheapei
rides and cheaper water.
ODJECTS OF THE ORDERS.
Supreme President M. T. Shine rtf Coving
ton , Ky. , spoke on the subject , "Oar Order. '
The eminent executive responded to the sen
timent of welcome expressed by the preced
Ing speakers. The object of the Catholli
Knights of America was reviewed. In poln
of Impartiality , equality to all , be
nevolent and protective -features , In
regarded the order second to nom
In the country. The speaker contende <
that It was an organization whose mlssloi
was peace and good will to all men. It hai
no antagonism. He was proud of an oppor
tunlty to speak In a community where th
memories of Bishop O'Connor were still frcsl
and where the good work of the Crelghtons ,
Ivlng and dead , was a matter of the splendid
ilstory of the Catholic church. In regard
o local agitation against Catholic Knights
whoso patriotism had been challenged , ho
scored such nn unjust procedure , and amid
vigorous applause stated that It the stars
and stripes of the United States wcro In
danger the Catholics would be the first to
ally In defense of that glorious emblem of
Iberty , endeared to every Catholic heart.
"Tho Duly of the Hour" received the at-
cntton of Hon. E. D. McGulnness of Provt-
lenco , R. I , Mr. McGulnness' remarks , al-
hough brief and extemporaneous , wcro In
till consonance with his reputation as n
speaker. The greatness of the American re
public and the growth of an order of loyal
Vmorlcan Catholics under the folds of one
flag that wa cs oxer this magnificent commer
cial , and Industrial , agricultural and manu
facturing empire presented the duty of Cath
olic knighthood to uphold the highest Ideals
of citizenship and honorable manhood In
every walk of life. Ho wanted to see all
Catholic citizens ambitious to attain emi
nence In every one of those callings. Cath
olics should show by their good conduct
that they have been maligned when their
loyalty to good citizenship has been chal
lenged for political purposes.
J. C. Carroll replied to the toast. "Tho
Catholic Knight. " Ho referred to the fact
that It was a Catholic knight , sent by a Cath
olic sovereign , that discovered America. Mr.
Carroll believed that the A. P. A. was u
plant that would not tlirlvo on the soil of
free and Intellectual America. He dissected
a few of the Inconsistencies of that organiza
tion and denounced Its members as traitors
to Urn constitution as well as to the country.
Catholic Knights believed In the creed of
charity and justice. Mr. Carroll used this
as a comparison to the methods of the organ
ization hostile to Catholicism.
P. S. O'Rourko happily voiced his fccntl-
monts on "Tho Catholic Citizen. " Hon. E.
Feeney of Brooklyn concluded the toasts with
a graceful response to "Tho Growth of the
Order. "

specialty people on the stage Introduce their
different acts. Many of the current amuse
ments of the day and current fads one !
fancies are burlesqued. Snatches from operas
and dramatic plays are sandwiched In be
tween bits of variety , topical songs , ballets
high kicking and wing dancing. The man
