Implement Clnb Meetlnac.
The meeting of the Highland Park 1m
provement club Thursday evening was at
tended by a fair number of members In
splto of Christmas season attractions. A
delegation of Omaha citizens residing on
Twenty-fifth street ' was present to co
operate with the club In Its efforts to have
that thoroughfare opened, and steps were
taken to finance the work. The committer
on the grading of F street from Twenty
sixth west to the tracks reported more
than a majority of signers secured and
that the petition1 was now In the hands
of the clerk for presentation to the council.
When this street has been graded the
F street viaduct will be pushed.
A movement was starred to have Twenty
eighth street graded, but the residents
of that street present did not agree on
the limits of the grading district and tho
matter was carried over to the next meet
Ing. '
Without any . announcement or warning
the members Jumped Into the city hall
proposition. After the smoke had cleared
away It was found that the club had
ordered resolutions drawn to this effect
Since the city hall bonds- hHd been sold
and since a majority of the preferential
votes for a site were cast for sites north
of O street and on account of the increased
valuation of O street property, a board
of appraisers of five or seven citizens, not
personally Interested in any site, should
be appointed in the regular way, to choose
and condemn suitable property for a city
nail site, such a board should bo made
up of citizens from different parts of the
city. The club, as citizens, believe that
such a board will perform that duty In a
manner satisfactory to the citizens gen
erally and Incidentally relieve the council
of an unenviable task.

. Judas the Ieavder.
Judas Maccabeus now appeared on the
scene, as a warlike leader among the Jews
and resolved to tight for their liberties of
life and conscience. Rabbi Cohn said In
la.rt :
The effect of the decree of Antiochus wns
to rouse the Judean spirit In open revolt, j
Israel s religion hart no idols in us tem
ples. Some cowardly Jews knelt to the
galling yoke, but there were other brave
spirits that would not and did not. Chief
among them was Judas Maccabeus, who
gathered a few of the bravest spirits among
the Jews to resist the decree. They had to
fight at first a siecles of guerilla warfare,
but the true Judean spirit grew with his
example, and finally the tyrant was over
thrown and Jerusalem was restored to Is
rael and the temple was re-dedicated to the
worship of the true God.
Result of the Rerolntlon.
The Maccabean revolution lsstid l ut three
years, but It accomplished for all time the
principle of the right of conscience. God Is
on the side not of the strongest, hut the
bravest battalions. The Maccabean spirit
Is the true spirit, and it found Its echo In
Luther and Cromwell, who did not fear
the e.nnthemas of the pope, nor the tyranny
of Charles I of England. It gave birth to
Protestantism, and
the block. It gave I
Cromwell and his
marched to victory with the Bible In one
hand and the sword in the other, singing
the songs of Israel, as did the Maccabees
of old. -
The Jew has been th
he aaes. He was the first urotestant. The
Jews profess peace, but it Is a manly thing
to defend oneself. It is not a Jiianly thhig
to bow and cringe like a cur. n Stand and i
give a manly blow. There is a; new spirit
dawning. It Is the spirit of the Macca
bean. The Christian world will next Mon
day celebrate its great festival of Christ
mas. Had it not been for Judas Maccabeus
there would be no Christmas. How great is
this Maccabean spirit. It means fight for
every hope that is human and to shatter
every human chain.
Program for Knnday.
The Hanukkah will continue over eight
days. Candles will be lighted In all Jewish
homes during ths eight days. On Sunday
there will bo special services at Tempie Is
rael in honor of the festival, in which tho
Sunday school will participate. The services
will begin at 10 a. m. and the following
program, will be observed :

This Is the cry of produce dealers all
along commission row. From all over the
state they receive the information from
country shippers, "We can't get the eggs;
the farmers don't have them." Conse
quently the dealers have a hard time sup
plying the demand and are compiled to
put up prices.
Forty cents a doteu for eggs seems In
credible, but that is what tho housewife
has to pay If she wants fresh guaranteed
stock. At 28 cents a dosen she can buy
one grade, supposed to be good, but aha
takes her risks. This stock at 28 cents is
about S cents higher than the same grade
sold for Just before ChrUtmaa last year.

Country butter is retailing at 30 to H cents;

N KV YORK, Dec. 2!. Kdwin J- Tapley.
a negro wife murderer, waa hanged at the
county jail in Jersey City today. It was
said thut Tapley had arranged with a
clergyman to signal with his hands nfter
the drop fell to show that lie was alive
and realized what was transpiring. Tup
ley's hands twitched convulsively, but Rev.
ICmil Meiury, with whom it was said he had
arranged to make the signals and who wit
nessed the hanging, refused to say whether
the movements of the hands were like to
prearranged signals. After the rope had
been placed about Tspley's neck and he
was asked whether lie hud anyUiliig to suy
he replied:
"Gentlemen, I am guilty of tills crime;
exceedingly guilty. I um sorry for It. She
led me Into It by torturing me. I am sorry
fur it and am justly punished."
When the hangman stepped forward to
tighten the Tope Tupluy colUpxed and f' II
