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 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

wa another rival and who I sine cared
for aa deputy register of deeds, may pre

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. Respectfully, M. J. Q.

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

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

At the Boyd.
"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

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

"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.
