It Is especially mete that the week Im
mediately follow Ing the closing of the expo
sition should prove to be the most brilliant
of the present season In local society circles
The season has been most auspiciously
opened and a trio of this year's debutantes
liavo been duly presented to the leaders of
Omaha society. The affair that brought
them out was an unusually pretty one and
was cnjojed hy nearly 100 beaux anJ bor.es.
After thu carnival season of Monday-Tues
day , when Omahans and their guests cele
brated the close of the exposition , there was
Borne doubt as to whether any additional en
tertainments of the week would be attended.
But they were , for Omaha people are quicken
on the recovery. In addition to the general
Halloween party of Monday evening there
baa been a eoelal event of some kind every
evening and all of them proved altogether
enjoyable.
The affairs for which Cupid Is responsible
have figured very largely in the week's pro
gram. The announcement of the engage
ment of Miss Peck to Mr. Joseph Uarker ,
both favorite leaders of Omaha society and
representatives of pioneer families , was no
surprise to their many friends and the con
gratulations and good wUhfs that have b > en
held In waiting quickly followed the recep
tion at which the annoum-ement was made.
The coming wedding of Miss Morse to Mr.
George Palmer , which will also unl'e two old
families of this city , has occasioned a num
ber of pleasing events , of which the luncheon
given by Mrs. Palmer wan the most notable.
The marriage of these popular young folks
will be the central event of the coming week
and around It will occur several smaller but
brilliant affairs.
A number of prominent young society
women who are Interested In charity will
visit the children's ward In the Clarkson
Memorial hospital every Sunday morning
during the winter and will teach kinder
garten work appropriate to the day. The
work will be under the supervision of Dean
Fair of Trinity cathedral ,
Dutch Dinner nt the dull.
Altogether , tllo most unique social enter
tainment given In Omaha was the Dutch
fccstdlsch ( festival dinner ) at the Omaha
club last Wednesday evening , which was
given by Mlm Nettle W. Collins and Miss
Roieoner to commcmorato their late Inter
esting trip abroad , whore they graced the
festivities attending the coronation of the
queen of Holland , The dinner was served
In one ot the spacious upstairs rooms , the
walls of which were elaborately decorated
with Fouvenlrr and trophies from the Neth
erlands. A great flphnet from Schcvculngen
ervcd as a background. The south wall
wns entirely concealed by a group ot Im
mense Dutch flags , in the center of which
was mounted a great Insignia displaying
the coat-of-anns of Holland. This decora
tion was one of those which adorned the
"Nlcno Kirk" in Amsterdam at tno time of
the coronation. Engravings of the queen ,
bits of dctft and other Dutch pottery , the
latest Holland posters and typical wooden
shoes wcro everywhere In evidence. Old
Glory divided honors with the Dutch flag
and the natlona ? colois were festooned In
garlands from the chandellsrs and cornices.
The table decorations were no lees elabo
rate. The menus were In the form of wlnd-
rallla and printed In Dutch , while the vel
lum plate cnnl.'i were adorned with the
crossed Holland and American flags. The
floral decorations consisted of yellow chrjs-
anthcmiims and ferns , while hero and there
the Inevitable wooden nhoe herd flowers or
bonbons. At each rover was an cxqulslto
specimen of delft pottery , quaint cau-do-
cologne Jugs for the women and nuh receiv
ers In the form of jockey caps for the gen
tlemen. In honor of the return of the prod
igals , the "fatted calf" made Its appear
ance , an excellent Imitation of the genuine
, Holsteln article , Its neck garlanded with
Dutch tulips. The Immense wooden shoe
and the contrasting tiny one , Individually
labeled as "Wlllietmlna'fa" and "Nettle's
shoo" occasioned much merriment. Tbo
loving cup was n great Dutch stein of an
tique pewter curiously wrought and In
scribed. No less unusual was the dessert
with the Ices In the form ot brown Curacao
jugs , and the Dutch Hkates of cake , while
the crowning event of the menu wns the
triumphal entry of "the " Edmi cheese , prc-
pcnted to the young women by the the bur

SEATTLE , Wash. Nov. 5. The Kobe
News under date of October 11 says : The
latest telegrams respecting the uprisings
In the neighborhood of Chung King state
that it is a movement against the mission
aries on the part of the marauding band
led by one Yu Mak Tsee. The French
church , hospital and also the American
Methodist church at Hong Clmu , about fifty
mlles from Chung King , have been de
stroyed , The ranks of the marauders are
constantly being swelled and the lawless
mob now numbers about 25.000 , moat of them
being armed with antiquated rifles , but thb
leader's own guard of about 100 men Is
armed with modern rides. There are about
thirty English nnd American subjects living
at Chung King. Mr. Smlthers Is the United
States consul there. The consuls are stated
to have wired to their respective minister *
at Pckln asking that pressure bo brought
to bear upon the viceroy to send troops to
suppress the riots , but owing to political
changes at Pekln the government , It ID
eald , will not be able to comply with the
request. The general In command of the
garrison nt Cheng Tu has committed suicide
to escape punishment for not suppressing
rioters.
The English and American residents ot
Chung King have left the city and gone
down the river to a place of safety.
The home department of the Japanese *
government Is making an Investigation with
the object of placing churches and
Buddhist temples under tbo same regula
tions. Under the present laws Buddhist
priests are debarred from sitting In the
Diet , although Japanese Christian pastors
are permitted there , but , on the other hand ,
a Buddhist temple Is exempt from taxation ,

DKS MOIMES , .Nov. 5 ( Special. ) Chair
man Hancock of the republican state central
committee received word from the War de
partment late this afternoon that the Fiftieth
Iowa would bo given from one to three
days' furlough In which to go home and vet .
This action on the part of the War de
partment Is very gratifying to Chairman
Hancock and the news that they are not to
bo disenfranchised will be rYcelved by the
volunteer soldiers with the greatest of pleas
ure.
ure.When
When it was announced that the chair ,
man of the etate central committee had
undertaken the tank of securing this con
cession from the authorities at Washington
there were many to predict that It would
result in failure. The military authorities
here expressed the belief that the depart-
' roent could not be led to change Ita pluns
and that nil efforts In that direction would
be but time nnd labor wasted. All tuli was
discouraging , but Chairman Hancock kept
right on , bringing to bear upon the War
department every argument which appeared
to possess the Icf.st potency for good. He
knew that the boys of the Fiftieth desired
to cast their ballots and saw no good reason
why they should not be permitted to do FO
Ills persistency finally won the day ami ,
again was It demonstrated that the rule ! ) '
nnd regulations of the War department arc
not so Inllcxlble that they cannot bo made
to bend when there Is any reasonable
groundti for the request made and when the
matter Is presented In n proper manner. It
Is certainly a victory for the state central
committee , for the odds were against the
success of the effort. 1
