Davenport officers of the company, how ever, assert there was but $500 In the safe when It was dynamited. Unidentified parties supposed to be the train robbers stole a team and wagon from William Roomer, whose farm was reached by a mils tramp through heavy timber. They drove northwest and near daylight passed a farm bousa four miles from the scene of the rob bery. The farmer's description tallies with that of the trainmen. The trail Is being followed hard and hope is strong that the men will be caught. The police here have arrested Richard F. Ridley and Luther D. Hayward on sus picion. Posses of policemen and citizens scoured the woods In the vicinity of the crime this morning In the search for the highwaymen. They are believed to have taken the plunder to some Island In the Mississippi river, where they burled it, afterward crossing to the Illinois shore and there hiding in the dense woods. The bandits boarded the train at the glucose works, west of the city, as pas sengers. They soon made their purpose known and after capturing the engine crew detached the engine and express car and ran them to Rockingham, where they looted the safe and left the train. At the local railroad offices today It Is stated the loss must have amounted to $10,000, or possibly $20,000, as the train carried a large sum of money and Jewelry tor Omaha and Denver. Official Statement. CHICAGO, Not. 22. General Manager C. B. Qoodenow of the Rock Island road gara out the following official statement of the Davenport holdup: "The police at Davenport and Rock Island were promptly notified and were quickly on the ground. The supposition Is that the robbers left the road and went to the north, cutting through a corn field. The sheriff at Rock Island, with bloodhounds, waa promptly on the scene, and every effort Is being made to trace the robbers. At the offices of the United States Ex press company it is said the loss to the company will not exceed $1,000. and consists of four packages valued at $50 each, a $50 package originating at Rock Island, one package the value of which cannot be ae curately ascertained and an amount of Rock Island railway tickets. DAVENPORT. Nov. 22. T. W. Hoffmyer arrived here this afternoon from Knox vllle, la., with a pack of bloodhounds re ported to be noted thief catchers. They Immediately went to the scene of the holdup and were put on the trail of the robbers. The police at Muscatine think they had one of the gang In Jail there a couple of weeka ago. Other parties re port having aeen them in the neighbor hood of the scene of the robbery during the last day or two. The' officers repotted tonight that they had aucceeded In picking up a trail and were following the supposed ,-tracks of the robbers.

Members of the school board have been ap pealed to and at least one has promised to take the matter up at the meeting of the board Monday evening. He said: "It looks to me that the punishment Is too severe for the offense. It Is true thst the paint should not have been spplled and that the pupils should have been punished. They are both officers In the cadet battalion and punishment severe enough would have been administered If they hsd been re duced In office. I will try to bring the matter up and have tho punishment modi fled so that It will not Interfere with the graduation of the pupils." REV. LUTHER JOJHNS RETURNS Pastor of Grace Lutheran Church Brlnara Glow Ins; Account of Lather Leaorue Medina- in IMttsbara;. Rev. Luther M. Kuhns, pastor of Grace Lutheran church, has returned home after a two weeks' visit In the east, during which time he attended the convention of the Luther League of Western Pennsyl vania at Pittsburg and delivered a series of lectures at the convention and In Phila delphia. Rev. Kuhns' visit east was In response to an Invitation to deliver an address at the convention of the Luther league. He came back enthused over the league, the work its members are accompllehlng, and Its rapidly Increasing membership. "The league waa organized In New York in 1888," he raid, "and the national league was founded In 1895. The latter Is now composed of 1,800 local organizations, representing a membership of 75,000 young people. It Is a distinctly Lutheran organization and covers all branches of the church. Its conventions are held bi ennially and this one waa the greatest I have ever attended. The membership of the league Is growing rapidly and Its financial condition Is good. I was royally entertained and greatly enjoyed my visit." Rev. Kuhns was a member of the con vention which formed the national organ ization and was Instrumental In having the name "Luther League" adopted for all the local organizations. During the discussion in the convention over the se lection of a name for the organization, Rev. Kuhns made a speech In favor of Luther league. A vote was taken and the namo carried. To show their apprecia tion of his efforts In Its behalf the del egations from New York and Pennsylvania that had advocated the selection of the came finally chosen, presented Rev. Kuhus with a gold medal upon which was tho Luther coat-ot-arms. Since the organiza tion of the national league Rev. Kuhns has been actively Identified with the work of the league and is now a member of the national executive committee. Rev. Kuhns was greatly Impressed with the growth and prosperity of Pittsburg, at which place he attended achool many years ago. "I believe It soon will be second to New York and Chicago In the financial world." he said. "Its growth since I was there has been phenomenal. The amount of freight being shipped out Is wonderful, and, according to the peoplo of that city, it Is due to 'republican prosperity.' For thirty miles east of Pitts burg the houses are so thick that It ap pears a solid town." FOR DEFACING SMOKESTACK Two Hlah Icbeol Boya Aro Suspended . for Period of Thirty Days.

Van Brundt of Valdez, Alaska, waa at the Millard hotel yesterday en route to New York on a business trip, Mr. Van Brundt has been in the northern country for two yeara. He is one of the few who struck it rich there, and, although he could return to this country and live the rest of his days in a brown stone front in New York City and support a sum mer mansion at Newport, he now calls Valdes his home and will return there as soon as his business affairs will permit. "It la the greatest country on earth said Mr. Van Brundt. "I would rather be broke In Valdex than to have a good posi tion In the states. I worked fifteen years as a clerk in an office In my old home town of Champaign, 111., so I speak from ex perience. 1 went to Alaska simply as a soldier of fortune, with the Idea of open ing a business venture on the coast. When I reached there, however, I saw that there were not the opportunities in that line I bad expected and following the lead of others I took a dog sled and pushed on into the mining country. "I do not wish to be understood as ad vising young men to go to Alaska. There are many hardships and a great deal more money goes Into the country than ever comes out. It is only the few who strike it rich, of course, and others might not like the country as I do. But I have seen many men go out of there cursing the country and the next year come back to make It their home. "Valdes, I am confident, will soon be the metropolis of Alaska. There are about 1,000 people there now and by March 1 I look for It to be Increased to 6,000. U la the center of the new section of the country. Nome and Dawson are pretty well played out. Valdes can boast of climate and scenery along with the best In the world. The thermometer last sum mer reached 100 above and In the winter It never goes lower than 75 below. Those are both exceptions. The average tempera ture la very mild. For sportsmen It is one of the greatest of countries and a large number of hunting parties come there from New York every year In search of moose, caribou, mountain sheep and bear." if sags Fifteenth and Farnam Sts, MM JS2uJV J Fifteenth and Farnam Sts, Great Than ivinsf Sale of Women's Outergarments.

Every work- Ing furnace In this city mas closed today through Inability to obtain coke, fully S$,000 men are affected. Out of a bit of unfortunate management a misunderstanding has arisen among some of the members of the Omaha Woman's club that has led to one of the most un pleasant Incidents In the history of that organization, for It has not only occasioned hard feelings among some of the members, but promises to result In embarrassment to at least a score of women who were guests of the club on last Monday, about a dozen of them being from out in the state. It had been arranged that a conference of the clubs, federated and unfederated, of the Second district be called to meet Id Omaha on Monday morning, the call having been issued by Mrs. H. D. Neely. district vice president, tor the purpose of stimulating and strengthening the work of the Ne braska Federation In this district. The Omaha Woman's club offered the use of its rooms for the meeting and as its regular open meeting was to be. held In the after noon. It was decided to Invite the visiting women to be guests at this afternoon's ses sion and to give an Informal tea drinking and reception at Its close, that all the club women might have the advantage of meet ing the women from out of town. Later Mrs. Neely and those associated with her In arranging for the district federation meeting decided to extend their Invitation to the vice presidents of the other five dis tricts, to the officers of the Nebraska fed eration and some others. The time was limited and that all might brompssed as quickly and easily as possible, it was sug gested by one of the women interested In the district meeting that the Invitations for both the district meeting and the Woman's club meeting be sent out together. This waa presented to the executive com mittee of the club and allowed and the stats officers, the district vice presidents and presidents of clubs received lnvilationa written on the Woman's club stationery. The Invitation Included the call to the dis trict meeting on Monday morning and said that entertainment would be furnished at noon, further Inviting the women to attend the afternoon open club meeting and the reception following, also the Harbour lec ture given that evening under Its auspices. The invitations were signed by the corre sponding secretary of the Omaha Woman's club. This combination would probably not have occasioned very much feeling, how ever, as icss than a dozen members of the Woman's club had been asked to the dis trict conference, had not the promoters of this district conference decided to enter tain the visiting women at a luncheon at noon. It happens that the majority of the visiting club women, especially those whom the women generally have been desirous of meeting, who have come to Omaha during the last year or so, have been entertained privately with a few local officers or friends of the hostess, or at a luncheon, where only the officers, and a fortunate few, have been Invited to meet them. Naturally, the women generally have resented this, and as It has occurred several times, not a few have come to feel that the club had been purposely left out, when a general reception might have been given. When It became known that there was another exclusive luncheou on foot, and with many of the women very naturally believing that the club was hostess, there waa rebellion, an outburst at the Monday meeting only being averted by the presence of the guests. Realizing the mistake of combining the luvltatlons and unwilling that feeling should result from It, the president of the Woman's club, with a few others, re quested that an explanation be made through the press that the matter might be made clear to all. This the district federation promoters were unwilling to do, feeling that the "least said the sooner mended." Yesterday afternoon Mrs. F. H. Cole, the club president, called a meet ing of the executive committee, that some - authorised explanation might be made, but again her Judgment waa overruled and nothing has yet been dune. To add to the complications, stock has been made of the fact that two of the women most active In the arrangements for the district meeting were present at the meeting of the executive board of the Nebraska Federation held In Omaha on last Tuesday, and aa neither of them are now members of the executive committee, there was general criticism of their being at the meeting, and their presence there has been attributed to political ambition. The following officers were elected at the recent meeting of the Parish Aid so ciety of All Saints' church: President, Mrs. 8. O. Strickland; vice president, Mrs. Kirkendall; aecretary, Mrs. L. A. Welch; treasurer, Mrs. Will Redlck. The women of Trinity cathedral have arranged a costume entertainment for Wednesday, December 10, when luncheon will be aerved and a Christmas sale hold. The Women's society of First Methodist church will hold a bazaar la the church parlors on Friday evening, December 6, for the benefit of the fund they annually raise for the church. There was a large attendance at Thurs day afternoon's meeting of the law de partment of the Woman's club, Mr. Har rison C. Brorae addressing the women on "Insurance." The meeting of the political and social aclence department will meet at J: 30 o'clock on Monday afternoon. Instead of at lta regular hour. The time will be given over to reports of national meetings In the In terest of charities and correction that have been held during the summer.

HENNINGS' VAN MOVES AGAIN City Treasurer Seises Dynamos from an Eleventh Street rrlnt Insr Shop. After a long period of Inactivity City Treasurer Hennlngs' furniture van has again been called into requisition In the enforcement of personal property taxes. Yesterday afternoon soon after 1 o'clock the van called at the printing establishment, of J. Fleming on South Eleventh street, be tween Douglas and Dodge, and tho em ployes of the city treasurer seized upon the dynamos and other machinery In the shop to satisfy personal property taxes amounting to $85 which have for some time past been delinquent. Mr. Hennlngs levied on this property several days ago, having at that time been Informed that ths owner bad removed soms of his possession to an other city, but ss an adjustment of the matter appeared, likely the machinery was not removed until today.
