Chairman Judson wild something of this
In closing up the program and asking every
body to please get familiar and tuko one
another by the hand, and learn to know the
appearance of one another so that meeting
on the street they should be able to say:
"Why, yes, I must have met that fellow
somewhere probably at the Commercial
club." Mr. Judson felt these little smokers
would promote good fellowship among the
Omaha business men. As they grew to
know one another, he said, they will In
crease their ability to work together and
working together they will Increase the
ability of the club to forward Omaha in
terests. Program Entirely Informal.
A desultory and Informal program waa
carried on during the evening In the read
ing room of the club. Elsewhere the mem

and billiards. There was just a nice sized
crowd, bo that no one was unable to see
the actors because of the taller men and
on the other hand, no one could walk three
feet without carromlng off a friend.
Commissioner McV'ann began the party
In the evening with a speech. Everybody
was surprised, but he made quite an un
expected hit. Then Mr. Edison Phonograph
did a very clever Imitation of President
W. S. Wright handing out a line of care
less talk. Everybody applauded. E. O.
Maggl of Albion did the "heavy" work of
the piece with something about "Charge

selections which require an able bodied

It some more. Dr. Z. D. Clark did three
rounds of catch-aa-catch-can work with a

several negro songs in a way that pleased
everybody. I.leutennnt Governor M"Oi!ton
was present and did a very lifelike Imper

Some More Good 'hlnaa.
A. Hospe created a diversion by nicking
one of his piano-players on a poor little
piano, which was soon crying for mercy.
John Thomg of New York added to the
comfort of everyone with a nice little
stunt and E. A. Benson held the floor for
some minutes with a line of Improvised
poetry which he brought up steaming hot
from the oven every stanza. He earned
the large amount of applause he got.
"Frank" Daniels of the Terminal company

the Irish monkey. He was In great form.
Carl Keller got In behind his schedule, but
explained that the blocks had been against

BULLET ENDS HER SUFFERING
Sadie White, Hopelessly Diseased,
Shoots Herself Through
the Head.
Tired of a life that Beemed to have noth
ing In store for her but sickness Sadie
White committed suicide at the Cambridge
hotel yesterday. She had been afflicted for
some time with a disease which Is prac
ticably Incurable. She had been In the
county hospital at one time, but left there
about two weeks ago and took rooms at
the Cambridge hotel. Thursday night, In
response to a question as to how she was
feeling asked by Mrs. Gordon, she replied
that she was some better, but that she
wished she were dead, as there was noth
ing more in this world for her except suf
fering. At about 12:30 o'clock Friday morn
ing she applied for treatment at the city
Jail, and was attended by one of the sur
geons there and then went to her room'.
This was the lust seen of the woman alive.
Mrs. Sweeney, who rooms at the Cam
bridge, says she heard what sounded like a
pistol shot about 9:30 o'clock Friday morn
ing, but thinking that it was some one
shooting rats in the back yard paid no at
tention to It, and thought no more about
the matter until the woman was found
dead.
AlKiut 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
landlord, thinking that the White woman
might like a cup of coffee, went ' to her
room to speak to her about It. He rapped
at the door, but getting no answer opened
the door, which was unlocked, and saw the
woman lying In bed and the pillow satu
rated with blood. He at once called the
coroner, who found that the bullet which
ended her life had been fired from a. thirty-two-caliber
revolver, which the woman Btlll
held In her hand when found. An examina
tion showed that the bullet had entered
the right temple and had probably killed
the woman Instantly.
The body was taken In charge by the
coroner.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Police Force Has Not Enough Men to
Properly Patrol City.
DIFFICULTY IN REPRESSING CRIME
Chief Brlggs Thinks He C'onld Get
Alone with SI More, but No
Way to Provide for Them
Appea rs.
During the Inst few weeks considerable
has been said about Improvements in the
fire department of the city and little men
tioned about the police department. It is
a well known fact that the present police
force is Inadequate as regards the number
of men employed and an effort Is to bo
made to secure an Increase levy for police
services. The territory to be covered by
the present force Is so large that even with
the patrol boxes In use It is difficult
for an officer to get around and do what
is expected of him. With an Increased
levy the police commissioners hope to be
uble to put on at least six more men, to
be divided between the duy and night
Bhlfts. This addition to the force would
hardly be noticed, as In some localities a
policeman is never seen. Petty crimes are
committed every day that residents con
sider too trivial to report to police head
quarters. With a good sized uddltion to
the force of patrolmen, both day and night,
some of the criminals might be appre
hended. At leust two mounted men are
needed, but they are considered too ex
pensive. Chief Ijriggs thinks that with six
additional patrolmen and a , couple of
mounted men the city could be given some
sort of protection. As It Is now, with no
patrol wagon and only half a dozen men
on nights, besides the Jail force, the terri
tory cannot be covered to the satisfaction
of the people. Just what the remedy to
be suggested has not been given out, but
it is under consideration by those who
feel that better police protection is needed.
Vacation .ow Decided On.
Owing to some disarrangement of plans,
the vacation of the high school pupils will
not commence until March 8. During this
week Principal Or u ham expects to be able
to move his high school classes to the new
high school building. It was tlrst announced
that the vacation would commence on
Monday, February 27. This it was found
impracticable and another week's delay
was granted the contractors. High school
pupils will leave their desks on the after
noon of March 3 and not return to studies
until March 13. Unless the Board of Educa
tion makes further changes the notice
mentioned above will be Issued at the high
school the coming week.
Pupils Pay Penalty.
The high school pupils who played hookey
on the afternoon of Washington's birth
day are now paying the penalty. The
hookeys have been prohibited from attend
ing classes until next Monday. Then com
mences the grief. Kach boy will be com
pelled to remain forty-five minutes after
study hours to make up lost recitations.
Superintendent McLean suld that the mat
ter of hookey might have been passed over,
but the boys paraded in front of the high
school building and gave the. regulation
ytU and derided tbu who vara tUvud-
ing classes. Some of the boys have been
disciplined at home and the balance doubt
less will be. As for the girls who played
hookey on this occasion no action has been
taken, but they will be given a course of
study that will hold them for a few days.
Another Grading Petition.
A petition for the grading of Sixteenth
street from a point 330 feet north of Mis
souri avenue to I street waa filed with the
city -clerk yesterday. While this petition
has not been presented to the council, it
is expected that it will take the regular
course through the city attorney and city
engineer. Property owners on this street
are anxious that some grading be done
there this year and the petition has to all
appearances enough signatures to make it
valid. v
Barrett Busy Again.
No sooner had P. A. Barrett, the special
agent of the legal department, finished serv
ing sidewalk notices than he was put to
work on another deal. Today Barrett is
going around with a photographer, taking
views of sidewalks where people who claim
damages against the city allege they fell.
City Attorney Lambert says that all of
these damage claims will be contested by
the city and "carried up to the state su
preme court if neccBsary. He thinks that
In the past too many claims have been
paid for imaginary or slight injuries and if
possible he will do all he can to prevent
the payment of claims where there is no
grounds for action.
Walks Are Bad.
With the going off of the snow the side
walks left out of repair when winter set In
are coming to light. Holes and missing
planks are numerous and with the general
condition of the walks the city will be
forced to get cinders to fill In for the time
being. Something ought to be done at
once to tlx bad hole In walks all over the
city If there Is any Idea of preventing the
filing of damage claims. Some little at
tempt has been made by the street depart
ment to clean off a few crosswalks, but no
effort has been made towards Improving
the condition of the sldcwalka.
Expense Areonnt Filed.
The three candidates for the school board
on the republican ticket filed their expense
account with the city clerk at noon yester
day. These accounts show that for the
primaries the candldutes contributed $1S
each, making a total of $46. No personal
expenses were incurred by any of the can
didates, the money being used for booths,
clerks, etc.
Teachers' Meetlnar Postponed.
On account of the sudden serious Illness
of B. R. Stouffcr, who had agreed to de
liver an address at the general teachers'
meeting today the meeting has been in
definitely postponed. Superintendent Mc
Lean said last night that considering the
condition of Mr. Stouffer he was compelled
to telephone the principals of schools that
the meeting had been postponed until an
other date was set.
