GLORY OF TRUE MANHOOD
Bishop Dndloy of Eentncky Talks to the
Men on the Topic.
BETTER BE A MAN THAN AN ANGEL
St. I'mil'd lArtvlrc to HI * Ilrotlireii

ito Women.
It was a small congregation of "men only"
that assembled at Trinity cathedral lost
cvonlng to hear the talk or Ut. llov. ntshop
Dudley of Kentucky to men , but these who
vrcro present wcro rewarded by hearing an
address full of truth and good advice. Illshop
Dudley spoke from n position down In the
nlslo of the cathedral , and did not wear , his
official robcfl , As ho told his auditors , ho
wanted them to know that ho was "talking
as a man on earth to men on earth. "
"Quit yo llko men" were the words of
St. Paul , that ho used for the text of his
brief discourse , and In the course of his re
marks ho said : "To bo a. man Is to bo the
highest character on earth. In some parts
of the country the children In the Sabbath
schools nro taught to slug , 'I want to bo an
angel. ' I do not llko that , and I try to have
them stop It whenever I can. I don't want
to lie an angel. I want to bo a man. It Is
nobler and higher to want to bo a man than
It Is to wish to l/o an angel. Some ono asks ,
What Is a man ? Scientists tell us that ho
Is closely akin to the beasts of the field , and
explain to us at length of the evolution of
man. Hut oven then they haven't explained
away God's creation. They have not ex
plained away his potency. Admitting the
theory of evolution , which the foremost
scientists today do not do , we Increase the
glory of God and raise Ills power. There Is
something that distinguishes man from all
other animals. There was a day somewhere ,
sometime In the creation when God breathed
the breath of life Into his nostrils , and ho
lived. And IIo gave unto that man the power
to judge between right and wrong. Ho gave
him a conscience , and the man'B conscience
la the most peculiar thing In life. All the
reasonings of science cannot deny the ex
istence within us of what \vo call conscience.
COURAGE OF THE UHUTB.
"Tho first conception of true manhood Is
courage. In general men think of courage
ns the courage of the beast and of the
brute. I do not mean- that quality when
I say courage Is the first conception of man
hood. I mean the courage to stand up and1
acknowledge the truth , come what may or
cost what It may. The courage that Is n
sign of true manhood is the1 courage that
will at all times and In all places stand up
for weakness. The man who takes advan
tage of on > Innocent girl , thoxigh wo may
welcome him Into our parlors , Is a coward ,
for ho knows nothing of this courage. She
who falls Is set aside and shunned by her
sisters , and rightly , for that Is woman's
right , but what of the man who Is cowardly
In his treatment of women ?
"Wo find another form of cowardice among
these who say they will not confess Christ
today , but will put It oft until the shadow
of death draws near. The man who puts
ofC Christ Is afraid to confess Him , and he
lacks In manly courage. It Is courageous
to confess Christ. It Is courageous to take
sides with the church , the one organized
force that Is nt work against the evil of
the world. It Is courageous , but It Is man's
duty. Men who are 'wise will follow Jesus
Christ. 'Quit yo llko men. ' He strong ,
llavo the courage of true manhood. "
ADDRESSES TUB WOM2IN.
Bishop Dudley spoke to the Women's aux
iliary of Trinity o.thedral yesterday after
noon In regard to missionary work among
the colored people of the southland/ par
ticularly of his own -state of Kentucky. The
bishop has had unusual opportunities to ob
serve the condition of ( hat race in the south ,
as ho his spent his 31fe In Uiclr midst and
has devoted considerable tlmo to the work.
It fcns been the custom of the women of the
Trinity parish to spend one- afternoon n
week In work for mission fields and the
bishop called their attention to this new
labor which the Episcopal church has but
recently taken ui > .
After nn introduction by'Bishop ' Worthlng-
ton of the Nebraska diocese , Bishop Dudley
expressed his pleasure In meeting the Epis
copal woman of Omaha In such an Informal
way ai'd said that ho received more good
from a meeting of this sort than from even
n. general conference of bishops , which ho
said was usually consumed In legislation and
resolutions , until ho believed the truth of
t'io remark that the "Americans are rcsolu-
tlnnary sons of revolutionary slros. " He had
noticed , however , that generally in meetings
of this kind the foremost women or the con
gregation , generally society leaders and
large contributors to'the church finances ,
were absent. ( Money , the bishop said , Is the
easiest thing In the world to give to the
church , and therefore in tin * eyes of "Him
who Hcelli not as man stoth" Is the least
valuaWo. 'Ho ' spoke especially of the value
of personal service In tUo furthcR-iico of
missions.
The bUhpp then described the conditions
among the colored people of the south as
ono who was reared among them and had
rerelvrd his first lessons In honesty and un-
le-lllshncss from the hands of a colored
nurse. lie said that It was only recently
tfoit the Episcopal chruch had recognized
that It bad anything In common with the
colored race. At the general conference in
1SSG , held In Chicago , the- field was first
entered upon and the bishop was himself
appointed to Introduce the subject to the
Episcopal church of the north. Ho said
that he found the general feeling to bo th'U '
the ovangellzatlon of the colored race should
bo glvrn over entirely to the 'Baptists ' and
Methodists , Tl'o 'bishop ' felt , however , that
God had made with one blood all the na
tions of the earth and ho therefore gavea
largo amount of tlmo as bishop of Ken
tucky to tlii.t 'branch ' of 'work In his state.
DEVOTION AMONG NEGROES.
In making a study of the situation the
ttlthop came to bcllovo that the colored race
Is ono of the most devout In the world und
ho found ono colored church In his native
town In which services had 'been held every
night since the close of the war. The prin
cipal defect ivhlch ho found In the religion
of Kentucky negroes was that It lacked In
fluences which led to morality and character
building , IIo said they lovetl 'to ' tie them
selves up wHh doctrine upon which their
emotional natures could feed , Bishop Dud-
Icy hus met with considerable dlfllciilty In
establishing the 'Episcopal ' church among
the colored people of his state , principally
Klondike ,
What H costs to gi-t thcro ? When
and how should one go ? What should
ono tnko ? Where are the mines ? IIow
much hnvo they produced ? Is work
plentiful ? What wnt s arc paid ? Is
.Jiving expensive ? What nroone's
chances "of mnklns a strike ? "

for the reason that the forms of the church
arc so quiet and are attended by little ex
hibitions of emotion , Other denominations
nro moro largely represented among them
for the prominence of this characteristic.
THIAI.S OP THI3 SALVATION AllMV.

In I'orolioi I.timlH.
The local corps of the Salvation army en
tertained nt the barracks yesterday Major
Kdlth Marshall and Captain Ford , both
women of high Htandlng at the national head
quarters of the army and of considerable
ability and exporlcnco. The major Is at
tached to the national headquarters as spe
cial Inspector , In which duty she has re-
cclvc < l In the last eight years details which
have taken her nil over the civilized world.
She Is at present on her way to Salt Lake
City to Inspect that and Intermediate posta.
Captain Ford , who accompanies the major ,
la known as ono ot the flwootest singers In
the army , a reputation of which she gave
Justification last night. She sang the simple
Eonps of the nrmv In a way that gave them
a new power.
After the usual street service the corps
gathered In the barracks and Major Marshall
addressed them and a largo secular congre
gation upon the origin of the army and the
difficulties with which It at first had to con
tend. She has had actual experience In the
army's formation and was with General
Hooth and his wife when the first attempt
was made to establish headquarters In Paris.
The atari was made In the lowest district of
of the city , where scenes of bloodshed had
been most frequent during the reign of ter
ror. The audiences were made up of the
most hardened classes which for the most
part needed small excuse for malicious or
even violent acts. During her stay there
ono soldier was killed by a mob which was
endeavoring to force an entrance Into the
barracks. The soldiers were made the mark
for missiles ot every description , the major
said , on tholr way from barracks to head
quarters. At the Paris station was located
a training school for cadets and when Major
Marshall went thcro In that capacity there
were sixty others preparing for the same
work. She described the llfo In barracks
and spoke of the camp fare , which consisted
dally of dry bread and cocoa for breakfast
and soup and vegetables for the other two
meals , with meat twlco a week. The routine
of the cadets consisted ot a course of study
which occupied the morning , meetings every
evening , an excursion lo sell War Cries
every other afternoon and to sing and pray
In saloons ono night a week. One saloon In
which miich good was accomplished had the
reputation of being the most lawless In
Parla. It was painted both outside and
within with a representation of red and yel
low flames and red and gray smoke. The
waiters of the place were in the garb of
devils and In Idle moments stood around In
corners with pitchforks.
An outline was then given of what the
plcneors of the army had to face when they
started the movement In Switzerland. Al
though that might have been expected to be
a country of tolerant spirit ttio major said
that In no other locality on the globe has
the Salvation army suffered such persecu
tion. When It was found that converts wore
being made by the hundred a systematic ef
fort was made by the people and even by
the government to expel them from the
country. Stones were thrown at them from
cliffs as the army marched by , and one
comrade was shot In the foot. A wonvih
was given a term In the city prison for
simply writing on < lie snow , "Aro you
saved ? " When a now hall was dedicated
In ono of the largciltles In Switzerland , a
mob broke In the door and took the place
by storm , seriously Injuring a number of
the soldiers. A company of police had dif
ficulty In escorting them back to their quar
ters. Finally the army was outlawed as a
source of disturbance , and Iho government
seal placed cm the doccs. Tuo president
himself finally interfered and caused the law
to bo repealed.
It was announced that on Thursday night
Captaias Lyons and Blacklegs and Lieuten
ants Swanson and Story would bo the guesls
of the corps from their stations In ttie west
ern part of the state. The se"tlonul officers
of Nebraska will bo In attendance at the
session hero en March 15 , which will end In
a hallelujah wedding , the parties to which
have not as yet been made known.
COXFKHSIO.V AMI 11HMIISSIOX OF SINS.
Kcv. Fnllicr Miileotvry I'renelioH on
( loHrlne at St. .Toliii'.H.
St. John's church was filled to overflowIng -
Ing last night to hear Father Mulcowry
preach on the "Doctrine of Confessional. "
In the course ot his sermon Father Mul-
cawry said : "Men llko ourselves receive
from Go ! the power to forgive sins. The
Catholics who seek the power of having
their sins forgiven , far outnumber the sects
who deny such power. These other sects
date no farther hack than three centuries
anil they Irate their origin to some ono per
son , llko Luther or John Knox , while the
Catholics antedate them many centuries.
"What benefit to us would It bo if Christ
and the apostles forgave sins and that power
wcro not continued after their time ? Tint
power has extended to us. It Is given to
men , not as Individuals , but as persons
standing for the church. "
The speaker then 'traced the history of
the confessional and quoted frcm St. Augus-
tin , St. Clement ar.'J ' others In support of It.
He said that Christ showed His power of for
giving sins by miracle , bestowed this power
upon the apostles , and later upon their suc
cessors , the bishops. "The doctrine of for
giveness la divine , and wo believe in it not
by reason of any argument , but bscause it
Is a part of God's church.
"In absolution , through penance , three
things ore necessary , confession , sorrow for
sin , together with purpose of amendment ,
and the priest's absolution. The priest's
aL-Bolutlon Is absolutely useless If the sinner
Is not penitent and does not intend to
change his ways. If a man Is repentant of
his sins because he feara God's power , and
not through love of God , ho may still be
savoJ by the priest's absolution ; but a man
who loves God for Ills greatness and has no
fear of Him will be saved , even If ho dies
without a priest's absolution. "
If all men would adhere strictly to the doc
trines of the Catholic church , the world
would bo freed from sin and all would b3w
In humble penitence. Christ forgave peni
tent sinners and the Lord permitted that
power to remain on earth. Through the
blood of Jesus Christ anj the sacrament i > f
penance and through them alone can ir.cn
bo saved.
There are three little things wnlcii ( to moro

liiNtldilliiii to lie Rouil.
The Principals' club of the Omaha schools
busied Itself yesterday with the discussion
of the question , "What Is Obedience ? IIow
Is It Dost Obtalne-il ? " Miss McCarthy opened
the discussion , She said In mibstnnce : A
child need not obey when ho Is treated In
an Impertinent , sarcastic manner , and when
ho la antagonized. Obedlcnco Is not hard
to obtain ; plenty of work , not too dllllcult ,
will secure obedience at school. Only a very
few pupils are really disobedient , and these
are usually these who are compelled to learn
their first lessonn In obedience at school.
Pliynlcnl persuasion rannot bring thcso few
Into obedience , and coaxing should not be
resorted to.
Various opinions wcro advanced as to what
should bo done with the truly Incorrigible
pupils , and all the teachers present ex
pressed their surprise that there were BO
few truly ungovernable pupils to Impede the
progress of other pupils.
MU.i McCarthy advanced tha opinion thnt
there wcro never to exceed three or four
really Incorrigible pupils in any one bulU-
Ing and suggested that tticso few from each
building bo collected In a separata school
where they would1 not Influence * other chil
dren , and Vtfcero special teachers would have
charge of ( hem.
This plan nict with general favor among
the teacher * , U la a i > lan that has suc
ceeded In Iioston , Toronto and other cltlri.
Some of the teachers objected that these In-
corrlnlbles would not attend euch a school ,
ona It was tugKesteil ( hat attendance might
bo made compulsory.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

Omnlin Cnnnnt AfTnrtl to Alton * Kvcn
the Suspicion of Such nit Inten
tion to lloxtuiilnnt It *
Credit.
The city council enjoyed the untisiul lux
ury of an audlcnco last night. Candidates
for the newly created position of assistant
license Inspector were numerous In the lobby ,
but they wcro disappointed , as no appoint
ment as sent In.
The water works question figured briefly
In the proceedings. Stuht Introduced a reso
lution which recited the fact that the water
company had made no reply to the demand
of the exposition officials for water and
stated the sense of the council that the
water company should furnish the water at
once. Stuht wanted the resolution adopted
at once , but the majority failed to see It
that way and It was referred to the com
mittee on Judiciary. I
The following communication from Mayor
Moorcs relative to special fund warrants on
which the statute of limitations was about
to fxplro was referred to the finance com
mittee :
OMAHA , Feb. 15. To the Honorable the
City Counrll of the City of Omaha : Gentle
men I desire to call your attention to a
matter which I deem to be of gravest Im
portance to the city of Omaha , for It In
volves the faith and credit of the city.
During1 the last few weeks n number of
Biilts have been brought against the city
on warrants issued several years ngo by
the city to pay for special Improvements.
The reuson the owners of these warrants
are bringing suit Is that the five-year lim
itation provided by the statutes ot Ne
braska within which suits must bo brought
has almost expired and the owners uro
compelled to Issue or lose their claims.
The facts about these warrants , as I un
derstand them , are , that a number of years
ago the city ordered a large amount of spe
cial improvements In various parts of the
city and that work -was done at an expense
of many hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The cost of these Improvements was taxed
against the properties specially benentcd
and the greater part of these taxes have
been paid. Most of those outstanding will
be paid eventually , ns taxes are a perpetual
first Hen on the property on which they tire
levied , and there nro few cases In which
they exceed the value of the property.
Some of the taxes , however , have already
been enjoined by the courts by reason of
Irregularities In the proceedings which ren
der them void and probably others will yet
be declared Invalid.
Most of the warrants Issued for these Im
provements have been paid , but there arc
still u few outstanding which will probably
be liquidated in time by taxes which will
be collected , except In cases where the
taxes have been declared void by the courts.
But the holders of these warrants cannot
wait until that time comes , because the
statute of limitation will run against them
soon and bar their right of action.
CITY SHOUIjD WAIVE STATUTE.
It seems to me that the city should waive
the statute of limitations In these cases , if
It can be done legally without releasing the
outstanding1 taxes. It la true that the city
attorney Is of the opinion that the city
might bo able to defeat an action brought
against It by the holders of some of these
warrants on technical grounds , but It seems
to me that , before entering upon a course
which the business world would declare to
be repudiation , we should first count the
cost. Tne credit of Omaha never was better
than It is today and Its securities bring the
highest prlco upon the market. No city
of its slzo In the country stands higher
with Investors than does Omaha. We have
just authorized the Issue of $300,000 of 4
per cent funding1 bonds , a rate which no
other city In the country of our size has
over obtained , and wo cannot hope to be
successful In our endeavors if we proclaim
to the world that OmMia intends to re
pudiate her obligations. Within a few
weeks the public press and the investment
journals will have announced to the banks ,
Investment agencies and private Investors
of the country the Information that Omaha
city bond and warrants are not a safe In
vestment , and the credit of our city will
be gone. T.icso warrants In dispute are
signed by the mayor and comptroller , and
stamped with the city seal , and business
men generally will regard any defense In
tel posed to defeat the collection of the war
rants as an evidence of an Intention on
the part of the city to repudiate Its ob
ligations.
I believe ( .hat your honorable body should
at once give this subject careful considera
tion and take such action ns may bo neces
sary to maintain the credit of the city at
Its present high standard. If there Is a
moral obligation resting upon the city to
pay these warrants the city cannot atford
to take advantage of any legal technicali
ties in order to avoid payment. I am in
formed that a larg-o number of suits will
be begun within tie next month , if imme
diate steps are not taken to make secure
the holdeis of the warrants. For that rea
son this matter should iccclve Immediate
consideration. A delay of n few weeks
mlplit be disastrous In Its consequences
to the credit of Omaha , Respectfully
FIIANK E. MOOKES. Mayor.
CONCERNING CENTRAL BOULEVARD.
The Hoard of Park Commissioners sub
mitted the proposition of George Mills and
others relative to tiie donation of land fcr
the proposed central boulevard , together
with a copy of the resolution of the board
endorsing the project. The matter was re
ferred to the committee on judiciary.
A communication from Health Commis
sioner Spaldlng called attention to Uie neces
sity for an Isolated hospital before the openIng -
Ing of the exposition. Referred.
The request of the Pcard of Education
for a statement of the cUlmato upon which
the council based Us appropriation for the
public schools was turned over to tbo finance
committee.
Stuht Introduced a vigorous objection to
Kirr's resolution appropriating $1,000 for
the use of the Board of Public Works dur
ing February Instead of $500 , as previously
provided. IIo declared that nature would
move the lee and mud from the streets much
better and cheaper thari the city could do
It. Mount took the same view , and City
Engineer Rosewater presented Ifio position
of the board , IIo stated that the board would
bs guided strictly by the appropriation , but
II the people WCTO disgusted with the ecu-
dltlon of the streets the council must bear
the responsibility. After tome further dis
cussion the amount was reduced to ? SOO and
thn resolution was adopted ,
Stuht and Building Inspector Butler wcro
directed to prepare an ordinance providing
fee- permanent street signs on all intersec
tions.
GRANT SPECIAL PERMITS.
The council kept tip Its crusade against
the fire limit ordinance by ordering the build
ing Inspector to grant half a dozen special
permits for the erection of buildings In vlo-
latlon of the ordinance.
Paxton & Ihirseta were given permission
to erect an Iron portico over the sidewalk
at Uio entrance to Crelghtcn hall.
The special ccscfismcnt ordinance
on ac
count of the annual wosd cutting was placed
on file on the committee report that It would
coat more to advertise the ordinance than It
would produce.
The ordinance ordering Charles street
paved from Twenty-sixth to Twenty-eighth
street was passed. The plumbers' ordinance
and the barbers' ordinance were passed after
they had been amended as agreed on at the
general committee meeting.
An ordinance designed to regulate traffic
on the streets was Introduced by Hcchel and
referred to fire , water and police. Thla Is
the ordinance that was drawn ! up by the local
wheelmen and which compels all vehicles to
keep on the right side of the street.
The ordinance ordering Eighteenth street
graded from Williams to Center street was
passed on third reading. It provIJco that
one-half the cent of the Improvement must
be paid by the city.
READJUSTING APPORTIONMENT.
The council met the heads of departments
In executive session yesterday afternoon with
a view to a rearrangement of the general
fund appropriations In a more satisfactory
manner. The departmental heads were given
an opportunity to state their financial griev
ances , and although no final action was

clons indicate that the resolution by which

The second lecture of Mrs. llwcr wn
given yesterday afternoon en economy 1
buying meats and the different methods o
cooking them.
She first explained tbo anatomy of th
animal , telling where the tough and where
the tender portions wcro to bo found , am
as thcro are only about ten or eleven
pounds of tender meat In an anlm.il weigh
Ing EDO or 1,000 pounds , some ot us mua
necessarily eat ( he * tougher portions , \vtilcl
really contain more nourishment when
properly cooked. She also gave a good les
son In economy when she cut up a loin a
bocf and demonstrated the many steaks
rcasts , stews , stock , etc. , that could bo got
ten from It , and which would have COB
considerable money If bought separately
This brought forth a great many questions
among them the care of meat , and when she
stated that the never washed her refrigerate
It aroused consternation In every quarter
The question of fires also came up , and It
giving her own experience she stated tha
slio had run ono stove from 9 In the mornlni ,
until 6 In the evr.lng from October to April
using only ono and one-half tons ot coal
that In a part of our country where han
coal only Is used. These questions Intercs
her groitly. Women do not bring enough
of their book learning Into their homcfl
Chemistry , physics and physiology are more
i eccssary hero than In the school room
Mrs. Rorcr then prepared the different per
tlons of the meat , out of which there were
a stew with dumplings , roast fillet of beef
larded and served with brown mushroom
sauce , three small Bleaks broiled , a quantity
of suet for frying purposes and a large ket
tie of bones and trimmings for stock. One
of the meet fascinating features Is the dainty
way In which she garnlttocs < vnd serves her
dishes.
Tie first evening lecture was given last
night on the subject ot salads. Mrs. Rorer
says that a French salad , well made. Is aa
necessary to the wellbelng of every In
dividual , every ( lay In the year , as ono can
Imagine. In reply to a question In regard
to the craving of children for minerals , she
said : "Look well to the lungs of a chili
who craves mineral matter. " We have too
much that Is artificial and too little that Is
natural. ECio then proceeded to make the
plain French salad dressing , with the usual
Ingredients ot oil , eggs and acid. While
doing this she cooked some rice ( as It shouli
bo cooked ) preparatory to making a Japanese
salad , rice being the principal food or thai
nation. MM. Rorer made quite a little sport
of our oysters , saying ehe would not think
of eating one , and wondered If they were
raised In Nebraska , as eho had heard ono
lady say , "We do not need to go out of our
state for any food , whatcwe raised
everything. " She gave several methods for
ireparlng and garnlshltig the different
salads , which Is half the dish.
The lecture this afternoon will been "Tho
Utility of Scraps and Sauces. " There will
be ono more evcalng lecture , which has
been changed from FrMay night to Thurs
day night. Men are especially Invited , the
subject being , "Everything Man Likes to

"The Polk sisters from Klondike" un
loosened a considerable amount of laughter
and hilarity among a good sjzed audience In
the auditorium of the Young Men's Christian
association quarters last night. They had a
most enjoyable stock cf popular songa , reci
tations and features , which they rendered
with an element of comedy which frequently
brought down the house. Their performance
was truly entertaining and was rewarded
with well deserved applause.
There were eleven of the sisters , all at
tired in similar and striking costumes and
all armed with bandboxes containing the
possessions they ( brought from the frozen
north. The leader of the troup was named
Kezlah and the part was taken by Miss
James. The others were : Dorothlah , Miss

OriUTH on the Sulijcut.
Complaints have recently been made
against the treatment that shade trees re
ceive at the hands of the linemen of the
various telegraph , telephone , light and
pawcr companies. The Bee has made an cf.
fort to ascertain the Instructions thesa com
panies give to their workmen In regard to
mutilating trees.
Mr. Lane of the Nebraska Telephone com
pany said : "Our directions to linemen are
that they shall not touch any tree without
the consent of property owners , and that all
trimming bo done under the owner's su
pervision. In many.places the trees are so
dense that trimming Is Imperative. Any
useless destruction of branches Is contrary
to the orders of thoi company , and I am of
the opinion that none of our 'workmen have
dl.iohcyed orders. "
When asked what the Postal Telegraph's
policy was In this matter , Mr. Fuller fiald
that they avoided trees as much as possible ,
and In many cases raise ! their lines to pro-
: oct trees. Ho saldt that they could not af
ford to Incur the public's ill will < by ruin ,
ng trees ,
At the Thomsonrllouston office It was
learned that their rules In regard to cut-
Ing trec , = i are veryftrict , Their lines run
nostly away from trees and no work Is per
mitted without consulting owners.
Mr. Limb of the Western Union raid that
they did all In their power to avoid trees
and when any damage was done they tried
o niako amenJs. Recently a complaint was
nude to them by a property owner concern-
ng a tree that was mutilated by one of their
Inemen , The cass was looked Into and It
was found that a largo limb had been lopped
off through carelessness. The property
owner claimed $20 damage and the company
made Its careless employe puy It.

The police made another roundup of the
colored amazons of the Third ward Monday
and placed behind the bars Ida Ousloy , alias
Pet Webb , Joe Rogers , Annie Nelson , Stella
Green and Ada Frazlcr. The house of Kittle
Owens , alias Linda Lee , was visited , but she
had got wind of the descent about to be
made and made her escape. The officers had
considerable trouble In placing under arrest
the Ousley woman , as she was drunk and
fought viciously. She was , however , at
length overpowered and bundled Into the pa
trol wagon.
Assistant County Attorney Winter has
filed complaints against the women under
the state law , charging vagrancy , and they
wore arraigned before Judge Gordon shortly
before noon. Each pleaded not guilty and
was released upon $100 bond , which was se
cured by their attorneys. Their trial was set
for Thusrday at 2 o'clock.
Chief Gallagher In spealtlng of the matter
said : "I Intend to carry on a crusade
against these women from this 'time ' forward
which sball either result In their leaving the
city or In their passing the greater portion
of their time In jail. They may occasionally
get out on bonds long enough to get a square
ncal , but the time allotted even for this will
! je very brief. These people make open
boasts that they Intend to stay here during
the exposition and that they will rob people
right and left without any fear from the
police. If on account of the crafty manner
In which they commit their thefts it is 1m-
josslblo to convict them In court , it Is at
east possible for us to keep them behind
: ho bars on the vagrancy clause of the
statutes , which will preclude their doing any
larm. The patrolmen as well as the other
ollleera will be given Instructions to lock
these female 'thieves ' up on sight hereafter
and In any case where It Is necessary to
make specific charges tbo men will be pro
vided with warrants. "

These are the days when Sheriff McDonald
s greatly annoyed by men who are desirous
f serving the county in the capacity of
urors. Hardly a day passes that men do
lot visit the sheriff and ask that he use his
ntluence In securing them places on the
ury. This was particularly true In the
Jartley and Kastner casca that are now on
rial. The sheriff says that at least a dozen
men approached him and asked that he as-
ist them In getting on one or the other
f these juries.
Sheriff McDonald docs not attribute the
leslro of men to get on the jury to any
llugal motive , but Instead thinks that they
ro ignorant of the law that makes It a mis
demeanor to apply for a place on a Jury.

JCccp Your J2yc on The Nebraska from JYbto On.
Suits
The Nebraska lias ways of its own. Ono of these
ways is to mark its goods down at the beginning of
each season when you want 'em instead of waiting
till the end of the season when you don't. This particular -
ticular way works so successfully that this morning ,
while other stores are writhing in all the agonies of
"Tremendous sacrifices" and "Final Mark Downs" to
work off their winter stocks , wo are all ready to greet
our customers with a now line of 1898 spring styles.
A little early you say. Yes , it is a little early , but
we can't help it we haven't enough winter goods
left to clothe a corporal's guard. When you see
these new suits and note the prices on them you will
perceive why The Nebraska never has any need for
' 'Mark ' Down" sales. Our first prices are lower than
somebody else's last prices. It's a way we have for
making goods move.
