Nearly 100 newsboys wpre banqueted Trl-
day night In the dining rooms of the 1'lrat
Congregational church by The Omaha Dec ,
nnd It Is snfo to my no gathering was evc'r
held In the thttrrh before whore so much
Rood cheer nnd enthusiasm were manifested. | I
rrom the moment the vanguard of the feast- ' \ I
cru arrived until tbo last little fellow had
I
Raid good night , there was a sound of many
voices pitched In a high key , and the rafters
of the church fairly nhook with the vocifer
ous cheering at Intervals during the evenIng -
IngTho
The banquet tables , thirteen In number ,
were spread In the regular dining room
They were In spotless whlte nnd heaped
not only with thn moro substantial vlatuH
dear to the hearts of growing lads , but
plentifully supplied with all the tempting
delicacies that make the holiday time a de
light. Provided with all the good things and
with appetlttiH whetted by the nipping all
outside , the lads ate and ate until tbo'.r
llttlo belts were tight and they could bold
no moro. Ono tiny fellow , after being helped
eovoral times to turkey and potatoes , with
innumerable side dishes , nudged with his
elbow Ills chum nt hla sldo and In a ntngc
whisper nild "Say , Jlmmle , I wlsbt 1 wu/ :
twins so'st I could pit more"
.Mlic'h
There were no toasts at the tablp4 but be
tween courwcs the diners Indulged In loud
cheering as different well known persons ap
peared and when Mogy came In ho was given
nn ovation , and every once In a while ns the
boys looked eVer the bright scene en
thusiasm would bubble ) over and cheers
would bo called for ngnlit and again for Mr.
lloscwatcr , for the church , the women and
everybody who had a hand In getting up
the feast
The arrangements of the dinner were given
entirely Into the hamta of the women ot
the church , they being allowed a generous
sum from The Bee for furnishing tne eat
ables and serving , the. money being used
by them In aid of the church. Mme U ? M-
brlsklo was chairman of the committee
and made all the plans She was ably as
sisted by several committees which asked do
nations from dllTcient members and friends
of the church. These who had charge of
the several tables and served tne host of
hungry bojs were Mcsdnmcs r W. Rich

After nmplo justice had been done to the
good things provided the boys adjourned to
the lecture room nnd took seats for a short
Bpcechmakliig entertainment. Edward IlOBe-
\vatcr was recognl/ed by the little fellows
at once and called upon ociferously for a
speech. As he came foiwnrd the church
rang again with loud cheering Mr. Hose-
water made a snort and eminently practical
talk , ajid ono that appealed to every hardheaded -
headed llttlo hard-working fellow present
He said the boys wcre on the right road
to sticccbfl now , for they were earning theli
own way , something nearly all eucoesfafu !
men had be-on compelled to do from the
start. Ho considered the training received
a good schooling for aftei 1'fe ' and cited
many of the most eminent ! ) prosperous men
of today who had begun nt the veiy fcot ot
the ladder , llo told the storj of a mm who
Itopt n package In nlo office to trj bojs with
3f ono came asking foi n position he was
asked to carry the package some place. II
ho was not ashamed to do so he was given
a. trial , ' but If he was ashamed or too lazy
or did not have time , ho was dlhnilssed In-
etanter
Mr. Hosewatcr spoke of his long connec
tion with the newspaper business and eald
fro had employed nn army of boys In the pasl
twenty-nine jcars. It Ind alwajs been hip
< letlro and his aim to be a friend to the
bojs and hoped ho might continue nich foi
an inj years to come. The speech was punc
tuated with applause and nt tbo close re
ceived gieat cheering
Kev Mr. Herring told the story of Scroogi
os written by Charles Dickens , and the
joung men were Intensely Interested In tin
old miser nnd his change of heart Mr
Kellogg of the Hv enlng News also made t
( few practical rcm irks and Mogj addressee
' 1m bojs for ft moment after being callec
upon repeatedly. Mr. Williams was callei
for many times , but ho had so many thing
to attend to that he could not take the ttini
to talk. When It was announced that Mojo
\Vllcox had brought each boy a present o
n nice , warm Inter cap , pandemonlun

The tprms of thrpp members of the Boird

ate Colonel A L Lott , F. J. I'reltag and
Charles 13 Pcarr Mr. Scarr was appointed
only rcrcntly to Eprvo out the tmexplred
tprm of W II Wjman , who resigned As
composed al present the boird Is made up
of eight democrats and one republican.
With only three members to elect the re
publicans cannot secure control ot the boird
even should they elect three new mem
bers next April Of the retiring members i
Colonel Loll will not again be a candldite ,
although ho Is being urged to accept the i
nomination. Mr. Preltag will most likely
bo n candidate again nnd It Is reported
that ho hai been assured the support of
the local democracy , regardless of factions
Charley Scarr Ins only been n member ot
the boird n short time. He seems to like
being nn olllcoholdrr and will doubtless
make the race In the spring The repub-
Means nro nol doing much talking , but It
Is evident that an effort will bo made to
ne'Tilnato thrco first-class business men for
the board and elect them. By getting In n
wedge of three It Is argued that a jcnr from
April , when three moro democrats retire ,
It will bo on eibv matter to secure control
of the public schools by electing at lea.st
two out of the three candidates If n good ,
strong city ticket Is put up by the repub
licans there will be no dllllculty , It Is
j thought , In securing the election of the
three republican candidates for the board.

Keepers , general freight agent , who Jointly
1 cotifltltulo the execullvc head of Iho Illinois
Central freight department , J. S. Wcltzell ,
assistant general freight agent , who will
represent the Illinois Central In Omaha , and
, F 13 Mtingcr , traveling freight agent of the
I company , with headquarters in Sioux City ,
were In good humor Friday night as they
(
sat In ono of the hotel lobbies nnd discussed
the outlook for their future business In
, Omaha. For throe das they have looked
over the local field and are in position now
i to Judge ns to the probabilities of the busi
ness which will bo turned to the Illinois
Central They are more than encouraged
and pleased with the prospects.
'There are eeveial freight matters of con
siderable Importance , " said Mr. Keepers ,
that wo have not ) et had the lime to
devote attention to These matters will all
bo taken up In duo time , however The Illi
nois Central Intends to do the right thing
by Omaha of that every business man In
the city may rest assured Wo are ) et new
In the local field There are certain condi
tions which we must study before wo can
venture too far For the present wo are
going to devote our attention to getting
settled and becoming acquainted Wo
haven't given much thought to tariffs ) et ,
but , ns I stated , these matters will be taken
up In eltio course of time "
"Ily the vva ) , " Interposed Freight Traffic
Manager Hudson at this Juncture , "do ) ou
think Omaha people consider the wide field
which Is opened up by the entry of the
Illinois Central to this city' Well , we nat
urally think It Is a great system and the
facts In the case warrant this conclusion
Our own lines and direct tributary connec
tions give Omaha access to vast territory
tributar ) lo C,000 miles of railroad We nio
not only an east and west line extending
from Chicago to Sioux Falls , Sioux Cit )
and Omaha , but also have a strong north
and south system , extending to New Or
leans A traveler can leave here tomorrow
with bin heavy ulster on and before be
leaves Iho Illinois Cenlral tie will need a
linen duster In Ihe s > unny clime of Louis
iana.
"Our patronl7lng terrltor ) Is composed of
widely diversified Interests. Theio Is the
sugar , the cotton and the fruits of the south ,
the lumber ot the mid-southern regions and
the coal and agricultural Interests of olher
sections Wo alwaS have a good business
There is never any danger of a failure of
all the interests from which we can draw
support.
"The south Is In high fealhei now Cotlon
this > ear bab increased In value 2 ccnls per
pound It is easy to estimate the Increased
value that results to the millions ot bales
put up 'n ' the south "
Assfstant General Fieight Agent Weltzell
Is moro inlerested in the local affairs of his
company than In an ) thing else at this time
"Wo aie very much disappointed , " be said ,
"owing to the delay In completion of our
uptown offices , but wo expect to bo able
to occupy them by Januar ) 15. When they
are completed we believe we will have one
of the nicest and moil conveniently located
ptovvn offices In the city. 1 like Omaha ,
'he push and progress manifest her6 on
very hand are a revelation to me of the
baracterlsllc ! energy of Ibe west. I have
ot ) et decided upon the employes of the
ozal freight olllce. We shall have a con-
racllng freight agent and Ihe necessai )
umber of office clerks I shall make Ihese
ppolulmenls In the course of a few das. "

She Is a decidedly pretty girl , with a pleas
