G. D. Talbot , representing the University
cf Nebraska , was awarded the first honors
In the fifteenth annual contest of the Nebraska -
braska Collegiate Oratorical association A
the Young Men's Christian association rooms'
in-this city last e\enlng. There were four |
contestants. The others ranked as follows ,
according to the decision of the judges
Cromwell P. Krrby of Grand Island col-i
lege , William J. Shallcroes of Bellcvue col
lege and J. C. Llnberc of Doane college.
It was ! t o'clock before J. Trumbull
Backus of Belleue , the president of the as
sociation , opened the program of the e\en-
ing. President David R. Kerr of Bellevue 1
college offered prayer , which was followed 1
by a piano duet by Miss Canillle Lucas' 1
and Miss Margaret Currens , both of Belle-1
vue.
William J. Shallcross bad for his sublect
"Tho Mission of War. " His argument wasi
|
that progress , civilization and liberty were
preceded by war. but tbat while war basj
been necessary In the past the time was
near at hand when it was to be supplanted (
by a moro peaceful abltrament of differ-
cnceB.
Cromwell P. Klrby , in "Tho Anglo-Saxon
The Champion of the Highest Clvlllza-
tlon , " contended that the three elements
of greatness In a nation were religious , intellectual
|
tellectual and physical. These be held were
essential to tbe achievement of the highest'
tuccess In the work of a nation. All three , ;
he eald , were united In tbe Anglo-Saxon' '
race end the United States was peculiarly
adapted to become- the seat of power in the '
future for tbat race. j ,
. "William Lloyd Garrison" was the theme !
l upon -which G. D. Tabot won the honors
[
of the evening. Ho raid that men a hlc\ed 1
I
irue greatness when they left their Impress s
jpon future history nnd made the world I ] <
better for -their having Jived , Such men j
created the circumstance * through which i' '
they carved a niche for themselves In the
Kails of time. Martin Luther was such a
man In the sixteenth century. Patrick
Henry another In the eighteenth crntury

present century , | i

f
J. C. Llrfberg took for his subject. "Unrest
l Sign of Progress. " As unrest had been ibe
forerunner of all the reforms In the past , see
> e thought It would be in the future He
! eald : the worship of mammon - -as the cause
of most of the unrest of today. The riots
and strikes are forebodings of a coming con
flict , from whici a new reform will come.
Capital and labor must work together In
harmony , the conflict between them must be
removed. He looked to the spirit which
pronounced "Peace on earth , Good will to
ward men" as the motive power to bring
about this desired harmony.
Mlfs Lillian Chase of the UnUerelty of
Nebraska sang "The Magnetic Waltz" be
tween the second and third orntions , and
while the audience was uniting for tbe
Judgeto make their decision Miss Margaret
Currens played a piano solo and Miss Jose

Home.
Visions of wealth to be easily won lured
Dan Alberts from his printer's case to pov-
j erty and death in the mines of Colorado
land j brought his young wife and her 3-f
! months' old baby to the Douglas county'
! i authorities to beg for aid to reach herj
relatives in Ohio , Left in a strange cityj
with no possession In the world but her
baby , she hafi worked her way over SOO
miles of country "by " selling steve polish from
door to door , and is now for the flrst time
compelled to nek for charity. That Is the
story she told the county commissioners ,
and e\erythlng in her manner and appear
ance Indicated tbat she was telling the
truth.
Mrs. Alberts said that she was married In
Ohio a little OMT five > ears ago. At tbat
time her husband bad cases on one of tbe
big Chicago dallies and they made their
home in that ally for two years. Alberts
became friendly with a speculator in min
ing Mocks , who swelled his imagination with
stories of tbe big profittbat had been
made by other men of moderate means. Ho
decided that bit weekl ) salary was a mere
trifle when such tempting opportunities
were open. In tbe nd he Invested $1,000
that be had saved In one o ; tbe alleged
bonanzas recommended by his new ac
quaintance , and witli tbe usual result. Xo
returns were received and the stock failed
to go up. But by this time be had acquired
the fe > er , and on the representation that
tbe claim held a fortune If It vere properly
worked , be exchanged the balance of his
money for the remaining Interest In the
property and went to Colorado , filled .with '
anticipations of what he would accomplish '
when he became the actual operator of the 1
mine.
When he reached the claim he found [
tbat not an ounce of paying ore had ever
existed within twenty miles , but he made '
a desperate attempt to get something out
of It. and at tbe end of a month's digging
acquired nothing but a rheumatic complaint
that e\entually caused nib death. He
worked when ho was able and managed 1 |
to make a living until be died , without
leaving a dollar to pay bis funeral ex-
penses. A month later tbe baby was born.
and Elmo then the widow has supported 1
herself and her child by telling stove
polish and one or two kitchen fcp claltlos i
In Sterling and other Colorado towns.
A month ago she started to work her
way -back to her relatl\ea by tie same
means , and got as far as Fremont , -where
the reached tbe limit or her finances. Her
etok was exhausted
and she bad no
money to buy more She had Just enough i
left to purchase a ticket to Omaha and procure -
cure a night's Icdglng at a cheap hotel.
She called at the omce of the county commission - ,
mission WE. si ) ing that one of the trainmen - '
men told her that the county would provide -
vide her with transportation. Her ca * was
investigated as far as possible , and arrange-
menta will probably be made to send her ,
at least part of the way to her destination.

WILLIAMS ' LONG ON SHOES

j IT ,
The discovery by nn observing policeman
tbat there was an epidemic of new shoes i
among a certain swagger set of colored
people in the lower part of town led to 1
the arrest of John Williams , colored , for
two jears a porter In the employ of the !
Drexel Shoe company.
For tbe last few weeks Williams' frlende' 1
have been wearing new shoes In all tbe '
latest eprlng styles and an explanation of
the circumstance was brought to light last
etenlng by Williams' confession to his em
ployer shortly after his arrest.
Williams said his plan of operation waste
to j-elect a pair of expensUe shoes , the
proper size and make , and remove them 1
from the store every time he went to de-
I.ver a package. When outside ho turned 1
the footwear o\er to a partner named Paul I
Malben * . who disposed of the goods at ;
I" 50 a pair to his Intimate friends , women 1
as well as men. Williams confessed to hav
ing taken twenty or thirty pairs of shoes ,
roofct cf them being Hannan's. Some of the
stolen gcods have been recotered. Wil "

< - A * ,
The reorganization of the
city council is i
attracting considerable attention and is interesting - !
teresting politicians of both parties. Ac-1
cording to the rules , the old council will
i meet next .Monday night and dispose of all ,
' unfinished business. The vote cast at the i j
election Tuesday will then be canvassed and
I the t new members will be i
eworn In. ImU
j ( mediately after
' the new members are ina
j I ducted ; Into office an adjournment until
j i Tuesday night will be taken , when the new
council < will meet and organize. The law j !
| in i this connection says that each councilh !
JJ I man , before entering upon his duties , shall' '
be required to give a bond to the city , with
two or more good and sufficient sureties ,
who shall each Justify In tbe sum of fJ.OOO
o\er and abo\e all debts. It is further
provided in the laws of the state that if
any councilman shall vote for any expendl-
ture or appropriation of money or the erea
ation of any liability In excess of the amount
allowed by law that such councilman and
his sureties shall be liable to the law. In
the same section of the statutes is found' '
the following regarding the organization of ! i
the council : j I
' '
! , "All councllmen's terms of office shall
commence the first Tuesday succeeding the
day of election , upon which day they shall
assemble together and organize the city
council "
' In connection with the orpanlration of the I
council the state laws provide that : "The
council will elect one of Us own body
who shall be styled 'the president of the
council' and who shall preside at all meetl
ings of the council In the absence of thec
mayor. All acts of tbe president of the ) I
council while acting as temporary mayor I
shall be as binding upon tbe council and' '
the city as If performed by the mayor. " j I
| After the legal formalities have been compiled - '
piled with next Monday evening and the
new members are sworn In the next thing
will be the organization. Tbe major , of
course , will preside , but the question of
appointing committees will bo raised when
the maycr sends in bis list and the fight
of a year ago will most liltely be gone o\er
again Last jear the members of the couns
| ell construed tbe law to mean that the coun-
'ell ' itself should meet and organlre without
the aid , consent or assistance of the mayor.
On account of this difference of opinion
no committee cards were printed nnd re-
ally no committees were ofSclally apt
pointed , although committees served during
the jcar without having any legal license
to do fo. If Kd Johnston succeeds In breaking - '
ing Into the council be will , It Is reported , |
try to take a band In the organization and
will attempt to construe the law so as to
invalidate the committees appointed or I
named by the mayor. Johnston holds that
when tbe law says that the council shall
meet and organize It does not Include the
major. Mayor Rnsor , howe\er , holds otherwise - !
wise and 'Kill fctand on his rights as chief !
executive and Insist that he name the com
mittees.
There Js some talk of throwing out tbe
entire vote cast in the. < Fourth ward and [
If this Is done Sam llort , the present rap- i
reeentatlve of tbe ward In the council , will !
hold cner until a successor is elected and
qualified. It is asserted that tbe action of
the judges In moving the voting precinct
from the barn at Thirty-second and K
frtrecu to tbe old school lioute was not
done according to law and for this reason
the entire vote may be thrown out. If tbe
ward Is thrown out Laverty and Olln , re
