COLL SELECTED AS PRESIDENT Claw Decides io Invite the Mate Fed eratlea to HoU It et Meet las; la Omaha Intiat la School Election. A good proportion of the membership of the Omaha Woman' club was present yea terdsy afternoon at the opening fall meet Ins of the club, which waa held In the tentorium of the Flrat Congregational church. Though the opening hour had been et for 3 o'clock Instead of t the women bad srsembted In numbers before the. doors were opened to discuss the mate federation meeting, which opens today In Columbus, and many matter of Intereat In the local club work. The appointment of a aucceraor to Mrs. W. W. Keysor a president of the club, waa the matter of first Interest an1 waa the first business brought before the brruse. According to the wording of the club' con stitution, the first vice president does not necessarily succeed the president In case of vacancy In that office, the appointment of the auccessor reatlng with the executive board. Not wishing to assume this respon sibility the board requested sn Informal ballot of the house that It might be gov erned by such an expression. This an nouncement raised aome question, some of the women wishing to know why It waa necessary. A motion waa finally made that rulei be suspended and Mrs. F. II. Cole, first vice prealdent, be unanimously declared presi dent. An objection waa ralsd to this on the ground that as the eontltu Ion pro vided a manner of selecting a president It could not be set aside in such a manner. There waa difference of opinion regarding this and the question waa called for. The notion waa carried. Immediately there was proteat and notice waa given that the en atltutlonallty of such an act would be ques tioned. This protest waa sustained by the chair and the club proceeded to ballot. One hundred and thirty-five votes were cast In all. of which 107 were for Mrs. Colo ad the others dtatrlbuted among six other women. Mr. Cole waa called to the plat form amid applause. Mrs. George Thomp son waa appointed by the committee to the office of first vice president. The membership committee reported ten application for membership, two of which have Atiallflnrf Upon recommendation of the directory It we decided to extend an Invitation to tho Nebraaka federation to hold It next meet lag In Omaha, also that the club should undertake a lecture to be given by Mr. J.

They were urged to post themselves regarding the Qualifications of tb taudjilales aud thru attend the primaries. Many questions were asked by the women regarding what they should do and how to go about it, attesting toe intereat that la felt In this election. The afternoon's business waa concluded by making 'Mr. Keysor an honorary mem ber of the club. A card waa read by the eecretary from Mrs. McKlnley In acknowl edgement of the resolutions of sympathy ex tended ber by the club at Ita first meeting laat fall.

A piano aolo by Mis Corlnne Paulson, leader of the music department, concluded the program, which was followed by a farewell address by Mrs. Keysor, who had com up from St. Louis to preside at the meeting. She apoke of the club and Its work a an agency for promoting all that is good and best, especially In the home and urged the women that aa club women they should exert an Influence to promote and sustain those principle. Ehe spoke of the social aide of the club and advised that the support of the women, financially and other wlae, be expended In the Interest of the department work rather than pretentious receptions or even a pretentious year book From 4 until o'clock a reception was held In the club parlor in farewell to Mr. Keysor.

At the meeting of the International suf frage conference held In Washington Teh ruary 12-1 A, 1902, a committee waa ap pointed to draft Its declaration of princi ple. The committee ha Just reported tbe following principle: That tneti and women are born equally ftee and independent members of the hu man race; equally endowed with talents and Intelligence, and equally entitled to the free exercise of their Individual rights end liberty. That the natural relation of the eexea Is that of Inter-dependence end co-operation and that a repreeslon of the rights of one Inevitably work Injury to the other and to the whole race. That In all lands those taws, creeds swl ei-stoms which have tended to restrict women to a position of dependence; to dis courage tnelr mental training, to repress the development of their natural glfte and to subordinate their Individuality have been baeed upon false theories and have pro duced an artificial and unjust relation of the sexes In modern society. That self-eovernment in the home and the state should be the Inalienable right of every normal adjlt, and In consequence no Individual woman can "owe obedience" to any Individual man. aa preacrlbed by old marrlRRe forms, nor can women as a whole owe obedience to men aa a whole, aa pre scribed by modern government. That the refusal to recognise women as Individual members of society, entitled to the right or seir-government. has resulted In social, legal and economic Injustice to them and ha Intensified the existing eco nomic disturbances throughout the world. That governments which Impose taxes and laws upon their women cltisenn without giving them the right of consent, or dis sent, which In granted to men citlsens exer cise a tyranny Inconsistent with Just gov ernment. That the ballot Is the only legal and per manent menns of defending the rights of life, liberty and pursuit of hapnlneea .' pro nounced Inalienable by tho- American Dec laration of Independence and accepted as ir.auennbie by all clvlMzed nations; there fore, women should be veeted with all right snd privileges of elector in a repre sentative form of government. That the rapidly developing intelligence of women, rexultlng from new educational opportunities, and the important position In the economic world into which women have been forced by the commercial changes or the laM hair century, call for the im mediate consideration of this problem by the nationa or the world. OPENING OF A NEW SEASON YoanaT Men's Christina Aaseelatlost Starts Oat with Blagest Re ception of Kind. . The annual fall opening at the Toung Men's Christian aseoclatfon headquarter last night drew a bargain-counter crowd. With one exception, no women were pres ent. It was exclusively a men's affair and was by all odds the largest of tbe kind ever held by the association, so it man ager eay. Fully 200 and ' possibly 300 strangers, aside from the member of the association, were present. ' An auspicious beginning for tbe new year of work and pleasure waa that of last night.

STORM IS RAISED OVER MEAT INSPECTOR Mayor Kontaky Declares Ofltee Taeaat and Moses Howard Oat aad the Coaarll Attempts to Veto the Action. There may be telephone in abundance in South Omaha. With four competing com panies in tbe field, snd more yet to hear from, no man will be too poor to have one In hi parlor, kltcheo. woodahed snd office. At least that was the Impression gained at the meeting of the council laat night. Every one wanted a franchise, apparently. Tbe first application came from a com pany termed The Home Independent Tele phone company. The second heard from was the Interstate Independent Telephone com pany while the last was The Magic City Independent Telephone company. All pro vided for the council giving them the right to maintain and operate Independent tele phone systems in tbe city. After they had been read. Mayor Koulsky attempted to refer them to the Judiciary committee and the city attorney. Jointly, but tbe council would bear of no such thing. Welch moved that the ordinances be referred to tbe Judiciary committee alone, and Mike Smith waa the only member of the council who voted that the mayor s action In calling In the assistance of the city attorney be con firmed. So the Judiciary got the ordinances. Then what appeared to be a small keg was proudly borne down the isle of the council chamber by M. J. ' Duffy and sol emnly handed to tbe clerk. Curious heads on outstretched neck were craned forward to ascertain the contents of the mouth moistening looking' bundle. But when the Clerk had unrolled it, the affair proved to be simply a protest coming from what was supposed to be 6 per cent of the legal voter of South Omaha, objecting to the counctl granting ' the Interstate company a franchise. While E per cent of the voters was all that was claimed, still It waa at first thought that the entire population of the city had affixed signature to It, so large waa the document. There were a mass of petition for fire hydrants, sidewalks, arc light and rebate on taxes, but they were all passed to the proper committee, and August Miller's sp plication for an Increase In wages for work long since done met with the same fate. City Treasurer Howe, Police Judge King. Sanitary Inspector Jones and the stock In epector banded In individual reports of the work accomplished during the month of September. All were paid without com ment City Attorney Murdock filed separate com munication on several claims for damages. In all of which he recommended that the claims be not allowed. In one of the esses, Mr. Adktn claimed that the damages could be settled for a paltry sum, but Mr. Mur dock stated that he had received Informa tion, upon Investigation, that the claim ant was drunk and bad commenced falling one block from the place where be claimed to be hurt This satisfied the council, so they allowed the city attorney bis wsy, An ordinance was Introduced providing for the opening of N street from the east line of Maxwell tt Freeman's addition t Thirteenth treet and the city attorney waa Instructed to condemn the necessary amount of private property for public use for tw nurrjoee. ' Several ldewalk ordinance were passed nnder suaoenalon of the rule. The climax of the meeting -eame when Mayor Koutsky formally declared tbe office of meat Inspector vacant. Mosee Howard has been the Incumbent and a bowl went up from the council against his deposition. Welch moved that the action of the mayor be overruled, but tbe mayor declared him to be out of order.' Then Adklns asked the mayor if. the council would be allowed a vatea in the matter and was loio empnan eallv that 11 would net. Adklns appealed from the decision of the chair and pre aentd tha BDoeal htmselt It wa carried with a whoop. But the smile on Mayor Kouttky'a face never relaxed. Beard of Bdweatlow afeetlaaT. The school board last night let the con tract for soft coal to the South Omaha Ice and Coal company st $2.54 for scft coal snd for seml-sathraclte coal the Bread well-Rich Coal company was given the contract at S9 per ton. A little squabble was had over the raise In the ealary of several teachers, which Laverty, chairman of the teaciere committee, saked tor. Kubat lost Ml tem per and declared that very few of ths teteh ers deserved sny raise at all and a great many of them were really unfit to teach In s city school. Ths board refused to grant the raise. It was decided to build a sU-foot per manent brick sidewalk In front of the high school annex. A representative of a type writer concern proposed to sell the board twelve machine In exchange for the twelve eld machine belonging to the board and 1 22 In cash for each. This proposition wss accepted. Laverty propoaed to put Mr. Bock, Mlaa Adelaide Stevens snd Prof. Olawson on the special Hit at salaries of 75 per month. Kubat and Miller objected to this and Loechner also oppoud It on the grounds that neither Mr. Bock nor Mlaa Steven had been examined In the required number of branches. The proposal was rejaoted, but Mr. Clawson was put en. Over 80,000 Sheep. More than 10,000 sheep were received st the stock yards yesterday. - As the reee pt were tabulated during the early hours of tbe morning It was plain that all previous recorda st tbe South Omaha yards had been broken and by the time the 117 cars had been unloaded veteran stockyards men were gazing In sws at the figures before them. At the present time more than 169,000 more heep have been received at the yard thl year than during the same time in 1901, and the stock yards people look for a eon tlnued Increase. A great deal of complaint was heard, however, over tbe condition of tbe stock received, It being claimed that at least SO per cent of It wa not good enough for anything but feeder.
