cleaned up matters that It adjourned filno
die In the evening , one day ahead of time

to the banquet that was given them by
Omaha camp last night with conscience free
' nnd mlndu unburdened , Today tbo vlsltorfl
mill leave the city.
At the two scealons of yesterday oevera
mattern of Importance were disposed ol
Among other things It was decided to hav
no Insurance department cocnectcd with th
order. As a consequence the relief depart

time , was abolished. This department looked
after needy members of the order and pro
vldcd for them out of funda voluntarily do
Bated.
The matter of dunging the per capita fee
was downed , the fee remaining as It ha
been , 20 cents , Two resolutions to change
were Introduced , but neither was passed
Ono provided for an Increase to 25 ctnts
and the other for a decrease to 15 cents
The charter fee was ralit-d from $12 to
$15. A resolution to pay the mustering o Ul
cer a salary was downed.
It was expected that the convention woul <
lay some plans for the national cncampmcn
to bo held hero this summer , but the dlvl
filon gave the newly elected division com
mnmlcr power to take charge ot It.
It was decided to hold the next convention
on the third Tuesday In next February
The place was not selected , that being left
to the division council The council Is to
report Ita choice by September 1 next.
A resolution was passed extending the
heartfelt sympathies of the order In Ne
braska to the families of the officers and met
who mot with such great misfortune on

' \ iwPI nn.
Mr. Henry W. Yatcs presided at the meet
ing of the Churchmen's club held last night
at iho Trinity pariah house. The scope of
the club had been fully determined pre
viously , and Mr. Hlngv.alt reported for Ihe
executive committee , explaining the policy
It had outlined. A few changes were made
In the executive committee's recommenda
tions , and In the dtscuaslon the exact nature
of the club was made known. '
If carried out as planned , the club will
bo a very unusual one , and one that Is capa
ble of much good. The flrst step necessary.
In the executive committee's opinion , IB to
secure 200 membership signatures. Any male
1C years or more of ago Is eligible to mem
bership , and the ofllcera must bo comunl-
cants In the Protestant Episcopal church.
The Initiation fee Is to be $1 and the fee *
are to bo very low , so as to bring mem
bership nllhln the reach of all. Suitable
rooms arc to bo fitted up and all means to
bo provided for Innocent amusements. The
club la to bo primarily a social club , and
not one whoso meetings partake of the na
ture of religious services. Unlike other
social clubs It Is to bo \ ry cheap.
As to securing rooms nothing has been
done , but In case the necessary signatures
are procured , and there la every reason to
bellovo that they will be , It Is the Inten
tion to secure rooms down town for the
convenience of persona living In different
parts of the city.
Lists for circulation were given to mem
bers of e\cry pariah and mission In the city ,
and the club adjourned fully determined
to carry Ita plan Into execution.
Articles of Incorporation of the Norwegian
Danish Evangelical Lutheran Trinity church
of South Omaha have been flled with the
county clerk. The members of the corpora
tion will consist , of "all persons who are
baptized and receive and adhere to the
canonical books of the old and new testa
ments au the revealed word of Oed and
the only rule of faith and Hfo end who have
been duly Instructed In the Christian doc
trine of the church. " It Is provided that
In case of a division or schism the corpora
tion property shall belong to the part of the
congregation which remains faithful to the
tenets and doctrines of the church and tc
the articles of Incorporation. The Incorporators -
porators are Jacob Johnson , Martin Tleg and
Jens Vaujhol.
The attendance at the evangelist meetings
now being held at the Young Woman's
Christian association rooms exceed the most
sanguine expectations. The deep earnestness
of Rev. Morton Smith ns ho expounds the
word of God finds a ready response In the
licarts of his hearers , and Is manifested bj
[ ho Intense Interest shown. Not the leas !
of his attractions Is the original way he has
of putting old truths so they carry convic
tion with them. These . .meetings are In
tended for men as well as women , and will
lie held each day from 4 to 5 p. m. of this
week. Take elevator at Farnam street en
trance ot Paxton block.
This Is men's week at St. John's cburch ,
Twenty-fifth and California streets. The
sermons nnd lectures are attracting large
crowds. Tonight there will bo a lecture
on the Eucharist. The lecturer will prove
rom the Ulblo that Christ Is really and
ruly present In the Host. Non-Catholics
are cordially Invited. Seats are free.

Elmer Von Valkenburg , who was under
> ends to appear In the police court today
or the larceny of money and Jewels , made
nn effort yesterday afternoon to run away.
lo went to the lodgings of Sadlo Lemlng ,
rom whom It was charged the goods were
tolen , and returned to her two gold
\alchcs. valued nt $145 , and four gold rings
vorth about $10. The stolen money was al-
cady In charge of the police offlcluls. He
then started to leave town when Sergenat
Her Intercepted him. Shortly afterward
two anxious bondsmen appeared at tfoo po
lice station and wished to bo relieved of
responsibility. i
At the station Van Valkenburg confessed
that ho had committed the robbery and de
scribed the manner of It. He said that he
relurnoJ homo late on the night of the oc
currence from his duty as special officer
for Garbnfjcmaster MacDonald. Ho found
the house empty and cold and his wife and
Sadie Lemlng , who roomed with the family ,
were absent nt a ball In Washington hall.
It occurred to him that Miss Lemliig was
thought to have considerable money and ho
started to make nn Investigation. Ho broke
open her trunk and In the bottom found
$75 In bills and some Jewelry. Van Valken
burg took everything of value and plnnel
the money In the top1of a window curtain
whcro It was later found by detectives.
Ha then threw all tbo windows open and
adx-unced the theory of a burglary after
the women had returned. When tlio money
was found he claimed that It was his own
property , but a doubt was thrown on this
assertion by certain peculiar wrinkles In the
bills which Miss Lemlng said had been her
ir.anner of folding them.
The trial was only partially completed because -
cause of the absence of a state's witness
aiU Van Valkenburg and his wife were re
leased on bond. Ho says that ho deter
mined to escape , but had not gone about
H quietly enough. Mrs. Van. ValKonburg ,
so her husband states , Is entirely Innocent
of any participation In the theft. She was
only Informed of the matter on the following
afternoon and had no part In the disposi
tion of the stolen property. The trial will
occur this afternoon on the charge of grand
larceny and burglary.

INCREASES THE FIRE RISKS
Permission to Erect Temporary Frame
Shacks is Bad Policy.
POLICY OF SPECIAL BUILDING PERMITS
City Conncll'n Gourde Strongly Con-
tlciniivil liy Insurance Men , Who
Point Out the Ilnimrr In-
\oltoil In the Practice.
The policy that has been followed by the
city council for the last two months In
granting special permits for the erection of
temporary structures Inside the flro limits
Is not regnrded with unmixed satisfaction
by the Insurances agencies of the city. Sev
eral of the leading agents , who were asked
to express themselves on the question , were
decidedly of the opinion that the policy was
Ill-advised and that If It Is persisted In It
will certainly bo the cause of an Increase
In rates on the property menaced by thp
temporary structures.
The objections of the policy from an In
surance standpoint are very fully presented
by Chris Hartman , who says It Is suicidal ,
Mr. Hartman said that for several years past
ho had been endeavoring to secure a reduc
tion of Insurance rates In Omaha and bis
principal argument to that end was the fact
that the ordinance prevented anything but
brick. Iron and stone construction within the
flro limits. If the ordinance Is set aside by
these special permits the effect will cer
tainly bo to cause the Insurance companies
to put up the rates on adjoining property on
which the risk will plainly bo Increased.
Mr. Hartman contends thai the construc
tion of these temporary buildings constitutes
a greater hazard than If permanent build
ings of the same character were erected.
For Instance , If a merchant wants to build
n , warehouse of these materials on a vacant
lot adjoining his property the assurance of
thorough discipline and watchfulness would
mltlgato the risk. Dut In the case of a
shack which Is to be torn down at the end
of a few months the owners would naturally
bo less careful than If they expected to oc
cupy the building permanently. The pur
poses for which these buildings are designed
also constitute an additional risk. Most of
them \\ero for restaurants and coal oil an3
gasoline will be used , which would not be
aliened In a good bulUIng. Then the chim
neys are of cheap construction and the dan
ger from defective flues was extraordinary.
ANOTHER STRONG OBJECTION.
Mr. Hartman also objects to the tem
porary buildings on the broader ground that
they cannot bo taxed and will come Into
competition with buildings which had been
erected by property owners and on which the
latter ore compelled to pay taxes. In his
opinion It will also be difficult to get them
torn down at the end of the year , as various
persons will want to UPO them for storage
or other purposes , and the result will be
that the buildings will remain to disfigure
the streets of the city for some time to come.
Thomas Brennan of the Brennan-Love
company substantially agrees with Mr. Hart
man. Ho says there Is no question but that
thoierectlon of temnorarv bulldlnea will rn-
sult In a marked Inflation of Insurance rate :
and Increase the flro hazard. Ho thinks the
city has quite enough ot such structure *
and that the practice of granting special
permits for their construction should be dis
continued. The expressions of other leading
agents Indicated that the Insurance men of
the city are practically unanimous In op
position to the erection of the mushroom
structures.
There arc some Indications that the coun
cil will soon show a Disposition to shut ofl
these permits. The practice originated with
two or threei apparently equitable cases , but
these proved to bo openings for a flood of
applications for similar privileges which
promises to assume mammoth proportions
before the exposition opens. The council had
found it difficult to draw the line between
those which It believed should be granted
and those which should not and the result
has been to Involve the matter In an em
barrassing tangle. For Instance an ordi
nance was passed which Included the district
Immediately adjoining the exposition
groundo In the flro limits. Then the council
proceeded to grant permits for temporary
structures down town and consequently
found It difficult to deny applications for
permission to build Inthe new territory
when a similar privilege had been accorded
In districts where the hazard was materially
greater. Some of the members are begin
ning to arrive at the conclusion that It was
a mistake to grant any special permits what
ever and future applications for special priv
ileges In that direction are likely to en
counter some opposition.
POOR SERVICE FROM GASOIJXE.
Gnu luMpcctor Gilbert Milken a Very
Uncomplimentary .Report.
Oas Inspector Gilbert has flled with the
committee on gas and electric lights a very
uncomplimentary report of the service given
by the now gasoline lighting system. Ho
says that since the new contract began , Jan
uary 29 , there has been no night during
which fully one-fourth of all the gasoline
lights In the city were either not lighted
at all or were extinguished before daylight.
On the night of February 7 there were only
twenty-sr-ven lamps lighted In a territory
which Included the greater part of the First ,
Second and Seventh wards. The service has
also been particularly unsatisfactory In
Uruld Hill , Clifton Hill , Port Omaha and the
region Immediately south and west of IHans-
com Park. The inspector says that the prin
cipal cause of the poor service Is the fact
that the company Is trying to do the work
with an Insufficient force of lamplighters.
At the beginning only flvo men were em
ploy ed In that capacity , and although ono
had been added since , tboy are absolutely
unable to cover all the territory. Ho says
thnt the lamps and burners are of the best
pattern , but they are noi kept In gcod con
dition and give poor service oven when they
are kept lighted.
The gasoline lighting question will betaken
taken up by the council at the next meet
ing and an effort will bo made to compel
the contractors to carry out their agree
ment. President Dlngham wrote to the sec
retary of the company In Chicago the other
day stating the fact that tbo service was
very unsatisfactory and the reply was a
telegram referring him to the local superin
tendent.
I.\CRI3ASn I.V THIS 'AIM'ROPRIATIOXS ,
City Council Will Allow tlie lU-pnrt-
incnlH n Little More Money.
The members of the city council have prac
tically agreed that some slight additions will
bo made next Tuesday night to the appro
priations which were made for tbo various
departments dependent on the general fund.
The original resolution , by which the ex
penditures of each department were limited ,
was recommended by the finance committee
and adopted without conference with the
heads of departments. Since then tbo coun-
cllinen have decided that in some cases the
appropriations were Insufficient. The addi
tions that are proposed aggregate less than
$0,000 , but It Is believed that oven this
slight Increase will gieatly odd to the effi
ciency of the departments. Ther largest ad
dition proposed Is to the fund for the main
tenance of tbo city hall , which Is Increased
from $12,000 to 113,300 , The tax department
appropriation is raised from (9,000 to $10,000 ,
but as an offset to this the tax commissioner
will bo expected to complete the delinquent
tax Hit , which has previously been prepared
by the city treasurer. The appropriation for
the engineering department Is increased from
112,000 to 113,000 , and that for the city
clerVq ofllco rises from $6,000 to $6,700 , An
addition of $450 Is made to the ap
propriation for the electrical department In
order to allow the electrician to have an
assistant while the electrical construction at
the exposition grounds Is under way and the
building inspection department Is allowed

AVIII CIrnii Some CroujwnlUi ,
The additional $100 that has been appro
priated for lie Board of Public Works by
the city council constitutes the solo fund
to keep the strcetw'of the city In condition
during the remainder of the month. This
would bo swallotted up by one good-sized
washout , but It la axpected .that at this sea-
eon this la not likely to occur , and the en
tire amount can beieptnt to keep the cross
walks clean In the business district. Aa
there arc about 144 street Intersections , and
consequently 576 crosswalks to the square
mile. It Is evident that the appropriation
would not be sufficient to cover many of the
twenty-five square miles of the city. City
Eng'necr Rosowntcr says that the best that
can bo done Is to spend the money Inthe
Immediate center ot the city and let It go
as far as It will. If itho weather Is not
too unfavorable It Is hoped that a few ot
the most busy Intersections can be kept
fairly passable.

GOOD niGUSTIOX lAXtl APPETITE ,
Mr . Itorcr 'HxpInliiN How to Make
One Walt oil another.
Mrs. Rorcr's lecture yesterday afternoon
was ori the "Utility of Scraps. " Mrs. Rorcr
sajs to the cast they have to pay particular
attention to this subject , as things are so
much higher than in Omaha. Rents are
higher , meats double the price , and things
used every day are thevmost expensive.
She then gave a short talk en digestion , ex
plaining the nature of the different foods
and how they ore "assimilated. Meat , from
which leftovers are mostly made , Is digested
In the duodenum and should not be cooked
well dene. All red meats , which Include
beef , mutton and all dark game , with the
exception of quail , should bo rare , and rare
meat does not mean raw meat. It must be
warmed over so It does not cook the second
time. Moat people use a great many
canned goods , which Is ono of the most ex
pensive of foods , as they .contain . so much
water. The amount of water In a can of
corn makes water cost at the rate of $5 per
pound. It Is much cheaper to get It out
of the hydrant. In reply to the number of
questions a great many valuable things were
brought out In regard to different foods.
Qreen vegetables are to be eaten only In
summer , as they thin the blood and blood
does not need thinning In the winter. People
ple forget that there are other anlmalo an'd
that some of the food provided by nature
Is for them , but selfishly appropriate It all.
Mrs. Rorer says she gets a great deal of
amusement out of life , especially at the
hotels when people order their meals. One
man complained of a headache and thought
ho smoked too much. His breakfast con
sisted of a piece of beef , some pork , fried
potatoes , omelet , In all six dishes. She
could readily understand how a great many
people must ha\o stewed fruit and bread
and butter every day for ouppcr , and they
live to bo 90. but their children only live to
about 50. The mother who has children
must know bow to make them stronger than
herself.
Mrs. Rorer then made several very at
tractive and dainty dishes from leftovcro ,
among them a plato of cold roast beef
gatnlshed with aspic -and parsley , and a
cream horseradish sauce fit for a king. Also
a tlmbalo In Individual molds , which are
served In New York at $1 each. The les
son tomorrow will be "Bread Making , " fol
lowed by the evening lecture on "Everything
Man Likes to Bat. "

AMUSEMENTS.
The girls of New York may bo renowned
for their style , those of Baltimore for their
beauty and those of Chicago for their feet ,
hut the girls ot Omaha are entitled to the
premier position when ft comes to vaude
ville shows. No ono will gainsay such A
statement after the vaudeville entertainment
given before 399 of Omaha's " 400" at
Crclghton hall last evening , It was a howlIng -
Ing success and the howling swells clapped
their dainty bands until they had secured
through generous encores a program nearly
double that which had been originally prom
ised for tin ) price oil admission.
The hall was well filled with a fashionable
finished. Most of the society girls , with
their attendant beaux , were there and there
was some display of evening drcas. The
\audevllle entertainment given by Miss Dick
inson a short time ago had apparently whet
ted the nppetlto of Omaha society for that
form of amusement. The success of lapt
evening's entertainment was due to a. com
mittee of estimable young woinen who
worked under the direction of Mrs. George
A. Hoagland. The affair was given for the
benefit of the Emma Plotter mission ,
through which ( loners are supplied to the
patients of the local hospitals and to other
persons who arc HI , and from the slzo of
the audience and the Jingle of silver heard
at the door during the performance It Is to
bo Inferred that the exchequer of the worthy
organization was considerably swollen by the
receipts.
The opening number of the program was
by two lads from Italy's sunny climes. They
were the same that wo hear playing the harp
and the violin on the street corners and they
began auspiciously with the sumo familiar
airs. "El Capltnn" was the first selection
and the lads were so well nleasert with
their rendition of It that they missed the
first signal from the stage manager to break
away. An encore brought out an equally
popular waltz number , which was also well
received. iMrs. Elta Mathesor. "presumed on
her officiate posishun" to relate in a do-
llghfully entertaining manner the ex
periences of a maiden woman , from Peeks-
kill on the sidewalks of New York. A
clever bit of verso on the big bugs and the
little bugs of society was well delivered as
an encore and the elocutionist was there
upon presented wltb an Immense bunch oj
roses.
The variety stage was forcibly suggested
by the theatrical entrance of Dick Rehani
and his quarter of an hour of jokes , songs
and a faint reminder of a dance. Most
of the jokes were of recent origin and some
were so now that they never touched the
audience. A parody on a popular song wan
good and the trick of carving a pleco of
paper was well carried ) out on the side. Roy
St. Clair did himself proud with two songs
and had not the supply of sheet music run
short the audience would have had moro of
his voice. The Omaha High School Mando
lin club rendered two selections In praise
worthy manner nnd their muhlc was fol
lowed by a genuine crap game. For this act
a half dozen of Mogy's newsboys and boot
blacks had been Imported from Farnam
street and they gave the swells' a very real
istic Imitation of the most popular diversion
of the nowsbojs and bootblacks , which
might lia\o been on jet had not the kids
heard of the aproach of Detectives Savage
and Dempsey.
Miss Helene Wyman sang two solos very
sweetly and was also rewarded with some
floral offerings. The hit of the evening fol
lowed In the presentation of the "Original
Allegrettl , " a colored boy of less than a
dozen years who can play a banjo fairly
well , can sing In a manner peculiar unto
himself and amusing to any audience , and
can dance better than the average colored
youth , which Is to say no mean praise. He
was accompanied by iMIss Dickinson , whcse
protego ho Is said to be , and encore after
encore followed his efforts to carry out his
part of the program. All songs were alike
to him and he was superlatively Indifferent
to the audlenco or its manifestations of
pleasure until tome of those present accom
panied him In ono of his dances by 'beating '
time with their feet. Then he walked off in
a pet , which only caused the society chaps
to stamp more loudly and the dear girls to
giggle a little moro. The evening's amen
ities concluded with a pair of charming
solos by Misses Dickinson and 'Hoagland ' ,
after which they were also remembered with
flowers from their friends.
James O'Neill , who needs no Introduction
to Omaha theater goers , "A111 begin a half
week's engagement at Hoyd's , presenting
"Monto Crlsto , " which Is almost as well
knonn as the star himself. Mr. O'Neill
has surrounded himself this season with a
numerous company which Is raid to bo the
best which has ever supported him , and
moro than the usual pleasure afforded by
his visits may bo expected on tlilo occasion.
Tomorrow night " 'The Dead Heart" will be
put on for the flrst time In Omaha. "Vlr-
glnlus" Is the Saturday matinee bill and
"Monto Crlsto" will be repeated Saturday
night.
Willie Collier In "Tho Man from Mexico"
will bo a strong attraction nt Iloyd's during
the first half of next week , beginning Sun
day evening.

curs tonight , the thrilling melodrama "The
Illaclc Flag , " being presented during the re
mainder of the week , < wlth the usual mat-
Inco Saturday. Beginning Sunday "Mother

Spring Suits
ready today
The Nebraska has ways of its own. Ono of these
ways is to mark its goods down at the beginning o
each season when you want 'cm instead of waiting
till the end of the season when you don't. This par
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 arc 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
wo can't help it wo haven't enough winter goods
left to clothe a corporal's guard. When you see
these new suits and note the prices on them yoii will
perceive why The Nebraska never lias any need for
"Mark Down" sales. Our first prices are lower than
somebody olso's last prices. It's a way wo have for
making goods move.
Thursday wo will show a pretty variety
of new Silk nnd Satin Waists nt very low-
prices Como curly und get llrst selection.
