More than likely a Joint meeting of all the clubs in South Omaha will be held soon to talk over Im provements and to devise plans for next year. With the Improvements now under way and those contemplated South Omaha will certainly present a busy appearance next year. Missouri avenue is to be paved and the paving on Twenty-fourth street will be finished next year. Then there I talk of paving West Q street, and also paving M street from Twenty-fifth to Twenty-seventh street. Building operations promise to be lively next year as con tractor are already figuring on a number of structures to be put up as soon as the weather will permit In the spring. Water Vnder Control. The spring of water underneath the site of the Union Pacific passenger station, which caused some trouble a few days ago, Is now under control. About thirty men are now at work on the foundations of this building and the concrete Is going down rapidly. Boxing Is being used and as fast as the concrete Is mixed It Is dumped Into the boxes and will, when hard, form a fine cement wall for the foundations. So far the laying of foundation has been confined to the west line of the new station build ing, but tt will only be a few days now be fore this work will be completed and ex cavating for the east foundation walls com menced.

OLD SOLDIERS DENY" CRIME Veteran Involved la Fraudulent Land ' Heals Plead Innocent of Criminal Intent. The ' federal grand Jury began the In vestigation of a number Indian reservation liquor cases Thursdiy morning, and upon their disposal will take up the fraudulent land entry cases. In these latter case a luige nuniber of. witnesses already ha been summoned, most of them being old soldier and soldiers' widows. The old soldier to a man plead abrolute innocence of any -criminal Intent In their filings, which they claim were made on the advice of certain land agents, who Informed them all that was necessary to do was to make the filing lu their own names or through agents; that their entire terms of service In the army should go toward completing thoir final proofs, and they were In no instance required to go en the land unless they wanted to. . Most of the old soldiers are, as a rule; men of ad vanced years, who could not. In any event. have endured the necessary hardships of undertaking to make a home on the lands Upon which they filed, and they were given to understand they were at full liberty to lease them. The aoldlers' widow tell practically tfie same tory, and In addition they were In veigled through Ignorance of the land law to lend their names to the filings, with the understanding that this was all that would be necessary.

Will lac Pressed Brick. . - Chairman Kiewit of the council commit tee on public building has directed that pressed brick be used on tbe west end of the new fire hall building now being con structed at Twenty-fifth and L- street. This matter vii brought up at the council meeting Monday night and It was stated that the cost would be only about $150 ad ditional. It waa agreed by the council to leave the matter In the hand of Mr. Kiewit and he ha instructed the contractors to use pressed brick.

A requisition for Harry Chambers, who is wanted in York county, wasgranted by Governor McDonald of . Colorado Monday. Chamber, is a. regular arrriy soldier at Fort Logan, Colo., who Is wanted back In York county for wife desertion. There seem to be a question as to the surrender of Chamber to the civil authorities, as he is now under the rules and regulation of the army.- The matter ha been- referred to the Judge advocate general of the army at Washington. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. That Omaha knows how to honor her public-spirited clt teens Was amply proven at the banquet given by the Commercial club to the Board of Oovernors of Ak-Sar-Ben last night, at which 90 men were seated. A well selected menu prepared the guests for the feast of wit which followed. Some Inconvenience was caused at first by the blowing out of a fuse in the hall, and the lights were off for about a half hour. Oysters were esten by candle light, and by the time the soup waa brought, the damage to the electric apparatus had been repaired. The program was Interesting from first to last. W. S. Wright, president of the Commercial club, presided, and his introduc tions always brought a laugh. Howard H. Baldrige spoke a welcome to the Board of Governors. He said the Knights of Ak-Bar-Ben have done more In a tangible way for the city than any other organization possibly could have done. Wattle on Ak-ar-Ben. Gurdon W. Wattle responded to the toast, "The Knights of Ak-8ar-Ben." He told of the labors of the knights for the entertainment of the people of Quivers, and for the ehtry of Samson Into his capi tal city to lie crowned by his subjects. It Is very fitting, he said, that the business men of the city show their appreciation, as they do this evening, of the efforts n the board, for such civic pride and patriotism as the members have shown Is worthy of It. He spoke of the development of Ne braska In farm production, and especially of the growth of Omaha. Commenting on the difficulties of the establishment of the Omaha Grain exchange and Its success, he said: "The Omaha Grain exchange is a realty, and neither corporations, Individuals nor anything else can- stop It now. Its quotations on grain set the price for the state. It has made tt possible for the farmer to get i cents more than before for every bushel of grain shipped." H. H. Wilson of Lincoln was introduced by the toastmaster as the next governor of Nebraska. His subject wa "America a a World Power." . Mr. Wilson said the Louisiana purchase settled the question that this country had a constitutional right to grow; the acquisition of Texas settled the question of whether tt had a right to take by conquest, and tbe purchase of Alaska made It certain that It had a right to acquire non-contiguous territory. Lately, be said, the constitution had been stretched again, and the Stars and Stripes had been planted In the orient. America In the lart eight years has taken a place among the foremost of the world' powers. About Omaha he said:' "The first 125.000 was hard to get; you will grow now of your own force." "The King is Dead; Long Live ' the King," was tho subject of an extremely witty address by Arthur C. Wakeley. Dnst Mulch 'Farming:. J. L. Donahue of Denver talked on the Campbell system of funning, an associa tion "for tho development of which was Incorporated In Denver October 26. The association expect that some day the western counties of , Nebraska and Kan sas and the eastern counties of Colorado will be raising -es moch Brain as the average crop of lowaC' Illinois or eastern Nebraska! Fifteen .Inches of rain falls annually in semi-arid parts of Nebraska and Colorado, and Mr. Donahue said If It could all be conserved It would raise crop of twenty-seven bushels of wm-t per acre. It can be conserved in great part by the Campbell system, he said. Edward F. Trefa responded to a toast on "Civic Loyalty tne source oi rairioi-ism." "Fainting Bertha" LielecKe is in town! The famous woman with tho fainting spells reuched her old stsmplng ground at Probation Officer Bernstein Thursday ar- 7:36 Thursday morning over the Milwaukee rested four boy on ths charge of Insulting railroad. Several of the Union station at- nd attacking girls and took them before taches recognised the woman and reported Judge pay. Their names are James Semln, the matter to Patrolman Delehanty as soon James Foral. James and Joe Foreman, as he reached the station. Delehanty in They were released on bonds furnished by turn promptly notified the police station, their parents. In the sum of $:n. to appear Miss Llebecke Is reported as having gone In Juvenile court Saturday morning, to her home in East Omaha. Just what The Semln Ind Is alleged to be the leader action the Omaha police will take In the nd the worst one of the gang, all or premises Is not known Just now, but It Is whom reside about the neighborhood or understood the woman will be arrested Fifteenth and Williams streets and on as a suspicious character, a there are other streets In that neighborhood. Many several unsettled registered score against tU irls residing in that section of the her here I cllv attend rllght school at the Comenlus Fainting Bertha escaped' rrom the Kan- building. On their way to and rroin school kakee asvlun. last Mondav.- the renott " n evening they are compelled to pass being the wss assisted by two men, who had a rig In waiting. The accomplices were not arrested. The last engagement piayed by the woman In Omaha waa a year ago last summer, when she worked a stranger for a good sited roll of currency within a block of the police station, so It was reported at the time to the police. Miss Llcbocke was at the time under suspicion, but could not be located here. She wa next heard of In St. Louis, where-she gave her fainting act in front of a theater. She next showed up In Chicago, where she stole a valuable fur coat from the Slegel-Cooper store. She was arrested at Milwaukee for this crime, returned to Chicago and Indicted. For that crime she served a while at Jollet, but was remanded to the asylum at Kan kakee after being examined. According to accounts. Miss Llebecke icturned Thursday morning In a stunning new dress and picture hut. Her bland smilo and stunning attire have done much to carry her through.- When seen a year ago last month In the Cook county Jail at Chicago by an Omaha reporter, Miss Llebecke vowed If she ever could gPt back to "that dear old Omaha" she would mend her way and be . "a real rood girl." by aome vacant lot where there are high weeds.' The gang, led by Semin, ha made a practice of hiding In tho weeds and as the girls came by the scamps would Jump out and attack them vlclouslj- nnd Jmle ret t'y. . , Parents and relatives of the, girls have mi'.cle attempts to catch.-U, hoys, but have failed, until Thnrfdny ntnrtt,- when a brother of one of th girls Sin-ceeded in catching th two name,! Trrarhef boys who .run with Bem'ti and ToYa! also were arrested, but tho llltle girls.' U to 14 years of sge. excused them of any .complicity In the attacks. All of the girls agreed in saying 8mln is the worst of the crowd and that, while Foral and the other have been associating with him.- they' did not act as brutally as he did. Probation Officer Bernstein and Judga Day feel like making an example oj som of these youthful vagabonds if the facts shall warrant harsh action. Tbe children who have been subjected to the attacks, and their parents a well, were worked up to tho pitch of hysteria almost and In court they found It difficult to expres thtlr feelings. One woman said the actions and language of the boys who made the at tacks were too vile to be mentioned, I nlon veterans Meeting.'

Plenty of Work. Complaints are still heard every day about the scarcity of laborer. Any man who want work can easily get it In South Omaha at this time. Carpenters, masons and in fact all kinds of artisans and work men are In demand. Contractors who have unfinished work are rushing to get through aud those who are preparing to build find it a hard matter to secure men for out-of-door work at this time, A great many men who work outside In the summer have se cured Indoor jobs for the winter, and this make it harder than usual to get men for construction work. On the Twenty-fourth street paving Job more men can be used and also on the Missouri avenue curbing. All over the city there I a demand for more workmen. Dies front Injarls.
