Final Solution is Beached on a Much
Hooted Quention ,
DECIDE ON EXPOSITION ENTERTAINMENT
to Iny OneTlianmind IJollnrn
for the t'p of ( he Pint Can-
Chnrcli far
Five Month * .
For six consecutive meetings nnd for ten
consecutive weeks the Woman's club has
bad under confederation gome pbase of the
question as to whether It should entertain ,
wholly or In part , the congresses which nro
to bo associated with the exposition. Six
ireckH ago a committee , consisting of Mesdames -
dames Damon , Smith , Dumont , Balllet and
Tucker , was appointed to solve the problem ,
which was a three-sided one , having as Its
principal factors to assist the exposition , to
gratify the club and to satisfy the trusted
of the First Congregational church. 'At the
mcotln yesterday afternoon this committee
presented Its final solution and it was
adopted unanimously. The club Is to have.
the use of the First Congregational church
for club purposes and for the educational ,
religious and women's congresses , with such
others as may bo mutually agreed upon by
the church and the club , and the- considera
tion for five months of such use of the
building Is to be 11,000.
The usual Easter amendments to the con
stitution came to the front yesterday , but
those of this year were easy compared with
the changes which have been necessary In
former epochs. They were four In number
and all were unanimously adopted. The first
and most Important one makes It necessary
for a woman to be a member of the club a
year before she can propose a friend's name.
The others related to the detail connected
with memberships. The duties of the mem
bership committee -were enlarged to Include
some work heretofore done by the directory.
Excuse for nonpayment of dues Is , for In
stance , to be made to them and they are to
have charge not only of the admission of
new members but the reinstatement of old
ones.

gusta Henderson of Cincinnati , a charter
member of the club , and during her resi

KI.KI.VS STII/L IIOI'KS FOR PEACE.
ExpreHNCfi Opinion Spnln Will Yield In
the End.
WASHINGTON , April 4. Scoator Elklns
said this afternoon that ho still thinks peace
will bo the outcome of the present agita
tion. He bases his opinion upon the theory
that the negotiations will be reopened and
* iat Spain will yet see Ita way clear to ac
cepting the propositions of the United States.
"Suppose negotiations have beea suspended , "
ho said. "They an be reopened. I should
not bo surprised If they had already been
reopened nor to hear any hour that Spain
had yielded. " He added his expression of
the belief that such pressure would be
brought to tocar upon Premier Sagasta that
ho could not do otherwise than yield to the
extent of permitting Cuba to become free.
"It will be a question with him , " said the
senator , "of loslog Cuba , Porto Rico , the
Philippines , the ministry anJ the present
dynasty Itself , all of which are Inevitable If
ho goes to war , "and of losing Cuba , which
will be the only result of acquiescing In our
demands.
"Of course these matters are being
brought to his attention and of course , as a
sensible ma'j , Interested In the welfare of
his country , ho will accept our terms and
nave all ho can out of the situation. "
The senator expressed the opinion that not
only Franco anJ other European powers
were exercising their Influence with effect ,
but that also the financial aad religious
powers were being brought to bear In a
way that must bear fruit for peace.
"It Is a common sense proposition , " he
said In conclusion , "and In the onj com
mon serse must win. As for the United
States It canoot afford to spend $1,000,000,000
and destroy many thousands of lives to secure
the Independence of the Cubans and If they
go to war at all It should be for sorno other
reason. "
"It sho.uld bo , left for como other reason
I than merely to secure the Independence o !
! Cuba. There are other grounds upon which
to make our case stronger than the Inde
pendence of Cuba. "
The senator said that If wo go to war tc
secure the Independence of. Cuba wo would
lese Cuba as a part of ariy war Indemnity ,
but If we go to war for other reasons we
would have not only Cuba but Porto Rico as
well to pay In part for our war expenses.
In other words , Mr. Elklns did not believe
wo should give away Cuba by recognizing He
Independence , for otherwise we could not
claim the Island as a part of our Indemnity ,

Before the train passed out ot the clt ;

ontly a man , dressed'iln such a blouse a
baggage men wear , appeared from the dl

excess baggage chargta ot Welsh's ac

URCLARS WRECK THE HOUSE
Thieves Who Show a Diabolical Spirit at
Work in Omaha.
ALICIOUSLY DESTROY DUNN'SGOODS
Marauder * flrcnk Into n Home Dar
in * the Family' * Almcncc 'nnd
Dnmnfro Everything They
Do Not Slcnl.
The residence of 0. W. Dunn at BIG North
! wenty-hlrd street was looted recently by
no of the meet''vicious burgling combine-
ors that hss yet been allowed to operate ,
hey were not contented with turning the
TO Inside out and carrying off everything
hat waa transportable , but went so far as
o ruin the- carpets and other articles of
urnlturo that they could turn to no other
ccount. Mrs. Dunn hao been visiting
rlenda In Denver * during the past two wceko
nd In the meantime Mr. Dunn has stayed
Ith the family of a relative. Consequently
he robbery was not discovered until yester-
ay when they went to reopen the house ,
he burglars had rummaged through the en-
Ire house and the contents of drawers find
loaots were scattered ovt-r the floors. They
ad left nothing In the houoe that could be
rofltably carried away except a small eum
F money In cae of the bureau drawers and
he thieves had apparently revenged them-
elves for their small haul by doing as much
amage as possible.
SCARED BY A WOMAN.
The wit and quickness of another woman
aved her home from houi < cbreakers on last
unday night. After 'the ' burglars had made
lelr descent upon the residence of Rev.
ota McQuoId , 316 North Twentieth street ,
ley visited the house of Jay B. Merrill , two
locks further south , on the corner of Twcn-
.eth street and Capitol avenue. They had
ist succeeded Ini effecting an entrance by
ic similar means of a skeleton key , when
ley were foiled by the prompt action of
Irs. Merrill.
The front door had not been secured as.
sual with the ini'ldo lock , as a portion of
he family were absent at church and were
xpeoted to admit themselves with a latch
: ey. Mrs. Merrill WES sitting alone In the
arlor when she heard footsteps ascending
ho steps leading to the front door. The bell
ang and she went to a window on the north
Ide to recannoiter. The large electric light
at the corner of the street threw the heavy
hadow of two men upon the unbroken sur-
ace of the house next door. The light warj
o close that the figures of the men could
e seaa la minute distinctness aiid Mrs- - ,
lervlll was not favorably Impressed with
heir appearance. She went to the door and
vas able to confirm her opinion through the
enrl-transparerkt glass. The men waited a
hort Interval after ringing and then pres' ' d
be bell again , long and steadily. There was
till no response and when a third trial was
Dually fruitless , Mrs. Merrill heard one of
hem remark to his companion , uho was at
ho foot of the steps , "Tnere'a nobody here ,
Dill. Come ahead. " She saw another dim
gure through the glass and In toother
noment a key woo fitted In the leek. It wcs
pparcntly of an excellent pattern for It
hrew the bolt softly and a hand on. the
neb pushed the door softly open.
Mrs. Merrill ma3o no outcry , but held hor-
elf In readiness to act at the right mo
ment. As the burglar reached the thresh
old she threw her weight against the door
nd pusheds It strongly in his face. The
obber was unprepared for such a silent and
Igorous rcpulso and gave way. He could
orm no idea otwhat reception awaited
ilm In the dark hallway and with his com-
anlon cleared the steps at a bound and dls-
ppeared down Capitol avenue. Shortly aft-
rward services at the Methodist church a
ow doors away 'were dismissed and Mrs.
lerrlll was rejoined by her 'family. ' A police
man also came In sight a few minutes later
nd the matter was reported to him. But
Utle description could be glvco of the men ,
xcept that they were heavily built and of
medium he.lght.
DOO IN THE WAY.
A few nights ago a similar attempt was
made by burglars to enter the house of
llchard W. Johnson , 2122 Ohio street. The
lonscbreakers were put to flight In this case
y a largo St. Bernard dog , which Is allowed
o sleep In the hall. During the night some-
ine commenced operations on-tho front door
, vlth a skeleton key and was able to ua-
ock the door. The dog was stretched across
ho path , however , and when the robber
tarted' upstairs he met opposition. Ho was
cot enough to make his escape , but the
amlly was brought down stairs by the com
motion. Mr. Johnson found that the key
tad been turned In the lock and pushed out
f the keyhole. -
Lord Coleridge thought Cook's Imperial
Champagne the best-he eor tasted. Ordered
fifteen catfes to prove his opinion.

Today again wo call attention to our superb' line of
Suits for young men. At no time have wo been "able
to show so many styles , such great variety , sucli-
handsome patterns , such fascinating effects in design
and weave. At any price from $10. CO down to three
dollars we are prepared to snow one or more styles ,
and the lines at $5.00 , $0.00 , $6.50 , $0.75 nnd $7.50
are our especial pride. One line of suits at $6.75 are
particular favorites and just now seem to have the
call. They are made from a fine foreign worsted in
small plaid design , the general effect being a reddish
gray. These suits are readily worth ten dollars. In
deed no nicer suits are sold anywhere in Omaha for
less than that price , eo we are told. Another line
which is particularly deserving of mention is ci small
gray check in Scotch cheviot at $4.75. A splendid
serge suit is marked $5.50 , a swell Scotch effect $0.00 ,
a beautiful fancy worsted $8.50 , and so on along the
line. It is by far the largest line of young men's
suits you can find ,
