OMAHA MEN AND THEIR HOBBIES 0 Pr. Ony W. Wadaworth, president of Oe rMental college t Ixa Angeles, has ac cepted tha presidency of Bellevue college and win b there. September 1. or at the beginning of the aholaatlo year, to take charge of tha Institution. Boma two wki ago Tha Bee announced that . Dr. Wadsworth had been' formally railed o Ballevue and that tha trustees hoped and believed he would accept. Fri day morning Dr. MUroy. aecretary of tha board of trustees, advised The Bee that those expeetatlona had been realized. "W are gratified Indeed." aald Dr. Mll roy, "at securing Dr. Wadaworth aa the head of Bellevue college. He la a strong man and good educator. Hla admlnlatra. tlva abilities are generally recognised. We feel that under hla direction the Institution will prosper and develop Into one of greater strength and Influence. "The outlook certainly la good. Finan cially we are better off today than we wera a year ago and the prospects are bright In that direction." All Want Dr. Wadaworth. Ballevue haa been without a president Ince laat apring. when- the resignation of Dr. Harlowe Lampen was accepted. With ' united effort and determination It seemed tha trustees Immediately Bought to aecure Dr. Wadaworth. But there were aome mis givings aa to the aucceas of their plana, for Dr. Wadaworth occupied a very at tractive position aa the president of the strongest Presbyterian college on the Pa rifle coast, whose, progress and devclnp V ment have been almoat unimpeded for a considerable period of years, at least since hla Incumbency began something like a decade ago, when he went there from Walla Walla, Wash.. Although Dr. Wads worth, on his return to California from the general assembly at Wlpona Lake, Ind., stopped off at Omaha as the guost of Dr. Edwin Hart Jenks, pastor of the K'.rst Presbyterian church and a Bel levue trustee, and with Dr. Jenks visited tha college, spoke tbere and was then pre dicted by the Belllevue correspondent of The Bee aa the next president of the In stitution, the trustees evidently had small hops of being able to' aecure him, for when asked about the matter, Dr. Jenka replied In auch a way as to give the Im pression that It was almost unreasonable to suppose Dr. Wadsworth would leave Occidental. It transpires that a conflict of views as to certain administration matters at Oc cidental In which one of the moat promi nent financial frlenda waa active, has con tributed toward Dr. Wadswortu's decision to make a change. Different Air with Students. Ona notable feature attending Dr. Wads worth's advent at Bellevue, which, for Its absence, distinguished the coming of Dr. lumpen a year ago when ha succeeded President Kerr, la tha cordial feeling; of the students. ' '"The atudenta are heartily In aympathy With tha trustees In their bapplnesa over securing Dr. Wadsworth." said Dr. Milroy. The feeling of the students against Dr. Dampen was so bitter as to prompt a formal written declaration by them and similar declarations In their college paper, and these, of course, were read by the bnweloomed president. Nor did, Dr. Lam- Jn"aisceed in living down this hostility, born partly, from the warm love still ani mating every student for Dr. Kerr, whose leaving was keenly disappointing to them. Dr. Lampen's life work although he was highly educated man had not been that of a college president, and before tha cloaa of the year the truatees, while the presi dent was In the eaat, decided to request his resignation. Ha did not return to fill out tha year, but did his work from the east .Iff?- P . Ess ! Mamf t.

Hoye waa given the unanlmoua endorsement of hla home ward club, the 8econd. for the republican nomina tion for sheriff last night at a well at tended meeting. Not even the suspicion of opposition met Mike Lee's proposal to sup port Hoye In his contest. The councilman In a speech promised to conduct the office "according to law." and announced that If Installed he would resign from the council at the time; also that under no conditions will he be a candidate for a rouncllmanlc seat next spring. The text of the Lee reso lution Is: Whereas. Our councilman VrA IT iinv. who has represented the Second ward In the city council for the last six years. Is now a candidate for the republican nomina tion for sheriff; and hereas. He has been a faithful renre. sentatlve, an excellent councilman, one who has always stood for the Interests of the people, therefore be It Resolved. That we most henrtilv endorse his candidacy and Pledge hjm. the united support of the republican party of the Sec ond ward. Endorsements for the candidacies, on the motion of Frank Bandhauer, of E. H. Davie for the Board of Education and William Altstadt for Justice of the peace were ac corded In the same wholesouled way. Both men are from the Second ward. Mr. Davie In a short talk said the south end of the city has been neglected In school facilities and promised to work hard to remedy this condition if made a member of the board. Frank Bandle, candidate for county clerk, attended the meeting, but aald he came to get acquainted and not to make speeches. Mike Lee spoke of the unanimity with which the ward organization was backing Its home candidate and urged the Import ance of electing a school board member from the Second, which he said had more children In proportion to Its population than GRAND SALE LACE CURTAINS J.

Somewhere between 6,000 and 6.C0O people visited the pure food show at the Audi torium last night. They began to arrive at 7:30, but the larger part of them put In their appearance between 8 and J:30. when two men were required at the box office to handle tickets. They kept coming until al most 10 o'clock, and when the orchestra finished playing at 11 there were still larga numbers of people on the floor. It was the biggest night yet, and the management of the show is well satisfied. On the same night at Louisville, Ky., 1.300 more people came than were present In Omaha last night. The managers have no doubt that any other ward in town, with less advan- mttha b' Louisville tonight. lit, Clemens, the Mineral Bath City, la reached without change of cars only by the Grand Trunk Railway System.

Designs exclusive PAST COLOR FABRICS LM a4 ft OLurrr, piabody a oo, neara ea amove Tat rata Rounds' Ladles' orchestra and Miss Qui sle Lenshaw, the female baritone singer, continued to attract much attention. When ever there was a solo last evening or a number by the orchestra the people crowded to the stage end of the Auditorium in order to get the best effect of the music. Naturally a larger quantity of eatables are consumed each night than the night ' before and a larger number of samples car- j rled away. The people are growing ac customed to the novel sensation of seeing things given away. At the entrance Harry Fischer and J. B. Conlngham stood last night with their arms full of paper bugs, , distributing them among the comers with the admonition to see that they were well : filled. ! Drinkables were In great demand last night, especially the cool ones, and cold For some time the question of a viaduct bring built across the tracks from U to I street haa been agitated. Not long ago Engineer Huntley of the Vnlon Pacific was here looking over the ground and he stated at the time (hat he did not see any neces sity for a bridge at this time. Mr. Huntley's report, which Is presumed to be adverse. Judging from the remarks he made while here, has evidently been adopted. An offi cial of the city said last evening that the railroad company did not propose to com mence the construction of a viaduct here this year. With the building of a passen ger station and freight depot this year the I'nlon Pacific considers that the build ing season will be ended by the time these Improvements are completed. After the coming winter Is over another effort will be made by property owners to have this viaduct built across the tracks In tits southern part of the city In prder to provide better accommodations for those who live In the south and southwestern portions of the city. It Is the same wtlh the bridge across F street. The railroad companies appear to be willing to put a bridge across the tracks at F street Just aa soon as conditions war rant. When the stock food and cereal mills promised for the north part of the city are running there will be another demand for more trackage room and then a bridge across the many tracks at F street will be a necessity. This will probably be a year or two anyway. At any rate there will not be any bridge building In South Omaha this year by the railroads. Bond Histories Received. City Clerk Glllln received a message Fri day from Hoehler & Cummlngs of Toledo acknowledging the receipt of the historic of the Missouri avenue paving bonds. The histories have been turned over to the bond buyers' attorneys and an early report Is ex pected. W. J. Hayes & Sons of Cleveland, who also bid on the bonds, write the clerk that In case Hoehler & Cummlngs do not take the bonds they would like to have them at their bid. While the city officials Would like to have an early report from Hoehler & Cummlngs there la no way to hasten matters. Work on the paving of the street will not start until the money for the bonds has been paid. Will Kot Make Repairs. Although the paving of Twenty-fourth street la almost Impassable In places the city officials will not consent to any re- j pairs being made at this time. It was sug- i gested Friday to the authorities that broken stone be used to fill some of the worst holes, but the mayor refused to listen to ayiy such talk. Washouts caused by the storm Thursday night are being taken care of as rapidly as possible by the street force, which Is under the direct charge of the mayor. Y. M. C. A. Notes.

It waa planned by Dr. Miller o have a few frlenda come In to spend the evening, those who were Invited being for tha moat part the old settlers of Omaha, but when a contingent of the association arrived and presented Its gift to the vsnerable doctor It was with difficult that he found words to express his appreciation. Refreshments were served and It was a genial crowd that gathered around tha board and talked of the old times In Omaha, before the city was much mora than a mere village. Judge Wakeley made the presentation speech on behalf of tha Old Settlers' asso ciation when he gave the silver service to Dr. Miller. He spoke briefly and In re sponse Dr. Miller thanked them for tha gift. It was hoped by many of those present that some steps would be taken to' have an old settlers' reunion planned at the gath ering, but this was not dons owing to th present unsettled condition of the organi sation.
