The Young Men's Institute Is a Cathelle traternal order organized In 1883 for moral, social and fraternal Improvement. It mem bership now Includes nearly 12.000, the or ganization extending over the entire United State. In Omaha the order has several members who were formerly organized Into a council. This was allowed to disband and It Is for the purpose of creating more Interest among the local members and because of the central location of the city, that the supreme council decided to bold this session In Omaha. The officers present are: F. J. Kieroe, supreme president, San Francisco; James O'Brien, supreme secretary, Roanoke, Va.; J. P. Collins, supreme first vice president, Carbondale. Pa.; J. F. Anknnbauer, supreme second vice president. Cincinnati; D. J. Cul llnhan, supreme treasurer, Pittsburg, Pa. The members of the board of directors are: Jobs Riley. San Francisco; W. J. Ryan, Pittsburg, Pa.; E. R. Myrlck, San Francisco; John H. Horn, Johnstown, Pa.; F. J. Drle coll. Ban Francisco: P. H. Keefe, Sharps burg, Pa.; C. A. Korbly, Indianapolis. , : . Omaha. Surprise Hint. Thf Is the first session of the supreme council ever held In Omaha, and It Is the first visit here of many of the officers. J. M. O'Brien, supreme secretary, Is among those who are west for the first time, and expressed bis surprise at the greatness of Omaha. "I havo been over most of the city today," be said, last nlgbt, '"and I am much sur prised at the size of Omaha and at Its pro gressive appearance. This afternoon I have enjoyed something that we never have on Bunder In Virginia the ball game. It Is the first one I ever saw on Sunday and it seemed Just as good as any. In such a community we should be able to create much Interest In the Institute, and If all the local members are as enthusiastic as those I have met, I am sure that before we leave the local council will have been re organised." ASPIRANTS PROMPT TO APPLY Already Son Have Approached the . Cnnnty Commissioner for Posi tion of Connty Clerk. The sudden death of Harry C. Miller, county clerk, late Saturday night will leave bis public office temporarily In charge of kid deputy. Frank Dewey, a republican, who served with Clerk Havrrly and who bat been retained by Mr. Miller because of bis thorough familiarity with the duties of the mo,' Had Mr. Miller's death occurred thirty days previous tq this fall's lection, candidate could have been placed In the field and balloted upon, but at this late date the vacancy must, according to the statutes, be filled by appointment by the Board of County Commissioner, and this action will not be taken, It may be quite definitely promised, until after election, for obvious political reasons. Already, however, there am applicants In the field, and It Is known that, though Mr. Miller's death was not reported In Omaha until Sunday morning, certain of the commissioner bad been called upon by aspirant before 3 o'clock In the afternoon. Nona of the commissioner will thus early presume to designate who the Incumbent will be, and they suggest that out of re spect for the dead th matter might be allowed to rest for at leaat a few days. One of them said: "We bave not, of course, conferred on this matter and will not for a time, so I bave no particular man la view. If I were to name thoss who may be aspirants I should mention W. H. Ounsolus, who la messenger to the retiring county attorney. Another might be W. W. McComb. sec re. tary of the Board of Commissioners, or Mr.: Cunningham, who la doing the clerical work la the sheriff's office. Or it might be a country democrat, for Instance, Dan Cannon, . former superintendent of the county poor farm and now checking up In th treasurer's office. Perhaps Peter O'Malley, now doing some auditing, might want it. L. J. PlatU was an aspirant for deputy clerk of th district court and per haps has a pretty good claim .on some office by reaaoa of his long, active work for the party.. "Or. more probable than some of these. th board might choose whoeyer Member Hofeldt might name, for the sake of bar' cnony out In hi district, where he haa lively three-cornered fight on. I believe Cons oily would waive his right to Hofeldt. and -1 don't know but O'Keeffe would and It only requires the three democratla votes te give the man the place. "With Connolly on the board. It Is pretty early a certainty that the Ed Howell fac tion will not be allowed to do the naming, as Connolly and Howell are both avowed candidates for mayor. It would not sur prise me, however. If Howell will make th attempt. 6hould Hofeldt be defeated be might want the office himself, and would stand a show to get it. "John Llddell, who competed with Mr. Miller for the nomination, is not an aspirant vow, I suppose, bat Frank Chrlstman, who wa another rival and who I sine cared for aa deputy register of deeds, may pre sent himself. The list is sure to be long and th selection to leav some sore spots It Is hardly to be presumed that the democratic member of the board will care to act before election." Kansae City.

MERIT SYSTEM IN SCHOOLS Sonta Omaka fltnatlon Pwtnts the Moral la Meaner Moat Plain. SOUTH OMAHA. Oct. 17. To the Editor of The Bee: The present Is a most oppor tune time to call attention to the absence of the merit system In administering South Omaha's school affairs and to point to the fact that this lack Is responsible very largely for the Impositions practiced on teachers, for the grievous Injury Inflicted on pupils and for the trials and tempta tions to which school board members are subjected. Inaugurate a merit system, allow It to work naturally, Insist on the elimination In appointments of all baneful Influences, political, financial and sentimental, and the positions now parceled out by the manipulations of Ignorant and vicious offi cials will be sought after and filled by men and women of ability who scorn to ask or accept a favor of a professional politician and who, by securing positions through their own Intrinsic worth, will be thereby strengthened In retaining them. Let aspirants for the position of teacher be convinced that two qualities ability . and good character and only two, are abso lutely essential to their success; that re lationship with officials 1s not requisite; that the possession of useful knowledge Is more Important than the number of votes they and their friends can control, and the energy now wasted by them In trotting after ward heelers and In "persuading" school board officials may be much more profitably employed In equipping them for their future work. The teachers who pos sess ability, who bave studied for the pro fession, who thoroughly know their busi ness end who secure appointment through their own efforts, will enjoy aa Independ ence Invaluable to them In their labors In school as well as In their dealings with officials, will possess a confidence which comes only with knowledge and skill and will be conscious of . a strength of soul never met with among tncapables. Let the merit system operate and the standard of efficiency in teachers will be raised, the necessity of work and study will be forced upon them, the incentive to work will remain after appointment and the direct beneficiaries of their thorough .train ing will be the pupils Intrusted to their care. The charge has been made In open meet ing by a member of the present school board In our city that teachers are on tha payroll who are not competent, and while this assertion would bave come from blm with much better grace before their ap polntment than at present. It serves to how that our present system Is at fault that no matter bow rigtlant. reform leaguers msy be, that after they have dumped In the waate basket almost all ap plications bearing undesirable and sugges tlye names, unaccompanied by the proper credentials, still abuses will creep In which work a detriment to the children and that It Is only through anger or accident those abuses are discovered. With competent teachers the labor of the pupils would be lessened, their studies more Intelligently directed, their progress In those studies made more rapid, their school term shortened, the day of gradua tion brought nearer, and a saving of valu able time thereby secured to the pupils and a saving of dollars and cents to their parents. At last, though not least, the merit sys tem In school matters would bring untold blessings to the members of our school boards. If It found them virtuous, it would prevent them becoming vicious. If it found them already tainted, it would most as suredly retard their moral decay and by removing the opportunity for Indulgence would probably effect a complete cure in time, and, after their tefms of office bad expired, return them to th community good, law-abiding citizen. It would make very difficult, if It did not entirely ob struct ths way to the penitentiary, an in stitution which many officials of these day make a persistent effort to reach. It would undoubtedly remove,, many of the strong temptations by which they are as sailed and to which, unfortunately, they so often and so easily and so unanimously suceumb. In fine, the merit system would prove beneficial to the community as a whole. That It Is not in operation here Is evi dence that we are not alive to its ' Impor tance and worth. Its value has been dem onstrated by the United State government, by several of the state governments, and by many of the large Cities of the country. The spirit of reform is In the air. Ws must come to It. We may find it difficult to get out of the beaten path. We may find It difficult to root our old and per nicious habits, and harder still to sup plant them with new and Improved ones, but in this difficulty once surmounted, Ilea the guarantee of reward. We have so long paid our political debts out of other re sources that It is hard for us to realize now there should be no such debt Incurred, that they are Immoral and should be re pudiated. Ws bave so leng regarded public office as a private "snap" that It will be bard to convince us that It Is or should be a publle trust. . But the prise is worth the effort. .i If we look at this merit plan from a purely selfish standpoint and try and ap preciate the saving It will effect In temper and taxes, we will earnestly work for It, and working earnestly for it, we will get It.

Bdbelsa, Jeweler, CHGRCH NEARLY COLLAPSES Walls and Beam Gits Way Under PresrnTt of Immense Crowd. CONGREGATION ESCAPES WITHOUT INJURY Janitor Discovers Ineafe Condition and Preaeber Bmptloa th Edldeo Wlthoat Alarming Great Throne of People. A condition which came near being a calamity prevailed at the First Christian church yesterday morning. Rev. Allen Wil son of Indianapolis was preaching when the old colored Janitor of the church, Har rison Rose, discovered, to his surprise, that the walls of the church were giving way and that the lives of the large congre gation were endangered. The preacher wa notified and the people dismissed to the outside, where the service were continued. No one wa Injured. Not far had the service progressed when the old Janitor found the walls In the basement of the building were crack ing. Then be found that the entire wall west of the center beam, running length wise of the edifice under the floor, waa Insecure and that the church auditorium had sagged at least two and a bait Inches. One of the bent beams gave way entirely and the fears 'of the Janitor were Increased, but before going up to make known bis discovery be examined still further, find ing that the building was In danger of falling any minute. In the upper part of the building the papering was torn by ths gaping breaches In the walls and the plaster in many places had begun to fall. What was most dlntresalng of all waa that the timbers that supported the flooring of the main auditorium were fast giving way. Hurriedly Rose went upstairs and before reaching the congregation's room he found Contractor Oarlow, who built the edifice, to whom he related his discoveries. Oarlow understood the structure and knew there was Imminent danger. He notified Rev Mr. Wilson of the alarming situation. He Informed the minister, after as careful In vestigation as could be msde In a brief time, that the building was likely to go to pieces at any moment and that prompt action waa necessary. Ignorant of Impending; Danger. Calmly the minister announced to bis congregation, who up to this time waa en tlrely Ignorant of the Impending danger, that the services would be continued out side. This announcement created no little surprise, and even amusement was evident In many faces. The minister wisely with held from the people any suggestion of the situation, knowing that to do otherwise would mean a panic and probably some fatal results. In perfect keeping with the calm manner In which the minister had made the announcement, the congregation arose and deliberately walked from their pews to the outside of the building, when they learned of the trouble. ' The church was filled to its utmost ca pacity. Even the aisles were crowded and when Rev. Wilson told the congregation that services would be continued outside be thoughtfully requested that those standing please pass out first, those In the seats remaining seated while the ones In the aisles and passageways left the house. The only thought that occurred to the people was that the church being so uncomfortably crowded the minister had decided best to go outside, where larger space was available. It was a beautiful day and an open air meeting did not seem a bad thing. Open air meetings, likewise, are not uncommon tor convention times such as this was. The church did not collapse as was feared when the condition was first discovered, but the opinion Is that If the congregation had remained inside some worse results might have ensued. Not a soul was hurt and the Service seemed all the more Impressive for the incident, especially that part of the minister's sermon In which he so strikingly compared the stability and constancy of God's ways and works to the insecurity of temporal things. Business Going Tp th Hill. It 1 only a dozen years, ago when The Bee building and New York Life building were located on Seventeenth street, that all except a few far-sighted business men thought a location so far away from the business center a rash move. The business center ot Omaha at that time was at Thir teenth and Farnam and Thirteenth street was a busy' retail thoroughfare. Sixteenth street now has the right-of-way as the business center and what another ten years 111 bring forth none of us can tell. The location, however, of the newest and one of the most promising business enter prises at 1713 Farnam street In The Bee building, next to the city hall, by the Mc Carthy Tailoring company shows the tend ency ot business to move west on Farnam street and also tbe promoter's faith that the business center will In time be beyond them. In fact. Mr. McCarthy, who is a business man who has been familiar with Omaha for fourteen years, in talking about the en terprise says: "When I first came to Omaha, fourteen years ago, most of the re- tall district was on Farnam street, east of Fifteenth. In the meantime, having been in business in St .Louis and elsewhere, I have made a close study of the changes In the center ot business in different towns. In studytng Omaha I really believe that it is only a question of a few years before wo will see the corner of Twenty-fourth and Farnam one of the best retail locations In the city. Sooner or later there Is bound to be a crosstewa ear line through Twenty fourth street to South Omaha. When this happens Twenty-fourth and Farnam will be a business comer, and business will fill la tbe gaps between Sixteenth and Twenty fourth streets. 'In any event, we have' located our store light In th heart of tha class of men whose business ws are after the popula tion of office men in the publle buildings and In Omaha's two largest office build ings. These are the kind ot men who need and are seeking something better than they are getting in 'made-to-order' garments at less prices than are asked by the so-called "swell tailors,' but goods and workmanship that are equal to the very best. Besides reaching this office population we know that business men will walk the block from Sixteenth to Seventeenth street In order to see a display of fine woolens shown la our 1,600 squars feet of floor space. In fact. our goods are necessarily all new and fresh, selected from the best fashioned markets. "I am certainly delighted with th won derfully beautiful plate glass show front which the owners of The Bee building have arranged fer our window display. I bave not seen the new stors front before since Its completion, but it certainly is aa orna ment both to The Bee building and Farnam street. I, of course, have charge ot our St. Louis establishment and will not be located here, but my active partners, Mr. J. W. Joseeylyn and Mr. E. H. Wilson, are well asown to the Omaha bnslnees sues and ws have brought Mr. W. D. Fowler from Philadelphia, a cutter and fitter who is really an artist la his way and cannot help but meet ths wants ot ths young men who desire thoroughly fashionable fabrics, perfectly fitted, without having to pay ex travagant prices for them. "We expect to find plenty ot good work men tailor in Omaha. If they are not her we will bring them and their families ts Omaha. " RETURNS FROMJLASKA HOME Mrs, Mallen aya Fifty Below Zero I Really "t laeon. fertahlo. Mr P. M. Mullen, whos Omaha home Is at 1914 Orace street, leturned there for a visit Friday, from her present home In Alaska, bearing with her a trunkful ot trophies and curios of the land of the Arctic circle. Mrs. Mullen accompanied her hus band to Alaska a year ago last July, where he went as register of the land office at Rampart. Last June Mr. Mullen was trans ferred to the office of receiver at Juneau, where he Is now stationed. Mrs. Mullen, who was placed In tbe light of a returned heroine by the many friends who crowded her borne at 1914 Orace street Sunday afternoon, expressed herself as hav ing been very agreeably surprised with Alaska. "I don't know what I expected to find," she remarked, "but I confess that it wasn't my Idea that there would be much of civili zation or refinement or culture and I had been taught to believe that 60 to 80 below aero was unbearably cold. I went there prepared to be a martyr and a frontier woman and ready to rough It, and I come home thinking It's the finest country in the world. "The climate at Rampart, which is a city In the Interior, Is far superior to Juneau, en the cosst, where we are now. There Is no wind at Rampart, and 40 to 60 below zero Is really not at all uncomfortable. At that place, of course, we could not get all the comforts we have on tbe coast, and for two months each fall while the river is freezing and two months In the spring while the stream is breaking up, we had to do without mall. But the miners sre well educated, refined people and the so ciety is very agreeable. The prices In the Interior are extremely high. A dozen eggs, when we could get eggs at all, cost $1.60; Ave pounds of sugar a dollar, and butter was 76 cents a pound. Tbe only difference between living st Juneau and In this coun try Is tbe climate, and I believe I prefer that of Juneau." Mrs. Mullen brought with her a collection of gold nuggets, also a large collection of Alaskan Indian work, which far surpasses any basket or beadwork of the Indians of this country.

"MOGY" HAS USE FOR REVOLVER Senre Away Robber After Receiv ing Bad Blow on tbe Head. By the hasty use of a revolver "Mogy" Bernstein frustrated two men who at tempted to rob him at an early hour Sun day morning, though In the general mix-up he was badly beaten about the face and head. - Bernstein was returning to his home at 110 North Twenty-sixth street from the Collrcura, whore he bas a concession to soil badges. la bis purse he had about $110, the receipts of the day's sales. When within a few blocks of his home a man suddenly rushed past blm and struck htm with a slung shot. As Bernstein fell he drew his revolver and began to shoot. Ho beard the man scream and that was the last ot this robber. As he lay on the sidewalk, dazed from the effects of the blow on the head, a second party rushed up to him and kicked him In the face. It Is not known who the robbers were, though two men who had been loafing around the booth at the Coliseum during the day are under suspicion. It is believed these men saw Bernstein when he counted up tbe day's cash and started home, and then followed him. The attempted holdup was not reported to tbe police Saturday nlgbt. iOO P. M.

"Rudolph and Adolph' are not likely to be the subject of either denunciatory or remonstratlvo resolutions on account of any outrage tbey may put upon sensitive feel ings. They are simply a pair ot laugh makers, and as they have adopted the name of Dlnkelspiel, so likewise have they taken up the exaggerated German dialect of that creation ot a New York journal. It may be that their wit and somewhat shopworn jests are more palatable and more easily assimilated when disguised in this vehicle. At any rate. It expressed in plain English their jokes would hardly win the laughter that greets tbeir tor turous delivery In an envelope ot mispro nounced and disjointed words whose won derful twisting and turning are beyond the most hopeless ot Teuton tongues. In this regard the Messrs. Mason are really clever, and they carry on their Impersona tions, the one of a horse doctor and the other of a ladies' tailor, of the same name but not related nor even acquainted, with a seriousness that almost leads one to think that they are not trying to encourage mirth. Incidentally, they sing well, their "Down Where the Wurzburger Flows" hav ing a lilt and snap to It that entitles it to consideration in the noble company of drinking songs with which the lyric list of our common country has lately been enriched. MubIc, Indeed, to the greater part of the show, and some new songs and a number that are not new are sung well by tbe eololsts, who are supported by a chorus which Is comely and tuneful. If not numerous. Two large audiences were en tertained at the Boyd by this company yesterday. The engagement closes with the performance this evening. - , At the Crelghton-Orpheom. Madcaps, four of them, all petite, trim, pretty and graceful, with laughing eyes. and each saucy head of wavy hair with an appropriate bow of blue baby ribbon on either side, are at the Orphcum this week with an evident purpose not only of en tertaining the fashionable and unfashionable clientele of that playhouse, but of giving the local "Johnnies" an Impulse to move to the front seats In great number. Their act Is of the terpslchorean, but so far above anything of that order heretofore seen on tbe vaudeville stage that it can rightfully be called unique and that ts the limit of complimentary remark when one must refer to a dancing stunt. The next best thing on the Orpheum's current bill ts the musical turn of Smith, Doty and Coe, who fall not to win an encore on nearly every number they play. One of tbem Is entitled to special mention for tbe sweet, full tones be succeeds in blowing out of a slide trom bone and all show their mastery of other brass Instruments. Lew Hawkins stands In tbe center of the stage and keeps the audi ence laughing for fifteen minutes with songs and Jokes, some new and aoms tinged with gray. Brannan and Martini do the legerdemain with comical exposures, Atballe Clair sings a couple ot pleasing numbers In good voice, Ooggln and Davis put up a clever acrobatic act, and Carrie Graham does the "Bis Hopkins" business with success. Tbe bill Is a good one all tbe way down to the new pictures thrown from the klnodrome. Still Keens 11 vp. "During a period of poor health soma time ago I got a trial bottle of DeWitt's Little Early Risers," says Justice of the Peace Adam Shook of New Lisbon, Ind. "I took tbem and they did me so much good I have used thein ever since." Safe, reliable and gentle, DeWitt's Little Early Risers neither gripe nor distress, but stimulate ths liver snd promote regular and easy action ot tbe bowels. Diamonds, rubles, emeralds.
