Four counts were charged in the complaint, but evidence was offered on only three of them. William Kngelke, H. B. bolton aud John Harrington testified to buying liquor in Skrupa's saloon on Sun day. March 4, and March 11. The defendant Went on the stand and denied he bud had his saloon open for business on those days. This Is the fifth of the Civic Federation cases filed by Klmer Thomas to be tiled. The result has been three convictions, on ucqulttal and one disagreement. Because Fred Drews, a South Omaha sa loonkeeper, sold liquor to two men who assaulted John Hudee, a Jury In Judge Sears' court gave Hudec a verdict for $luO against Drews yesterday afternoon. The assault was committed on Hudec February 4, In Drews' saloon at Twenty-first and W streets, by Charles Jupa and James Renak. Hudec had gone Into the saloon to take Drews' order for meal. He says his as sailant had become drunk and quarrelsome by drinking liquor furnished them by Drews and they pou.i.cd upon him and put out his left eye. He sued for 6.0i Announcements of the Theaters.

WOMEN SURE ALL WILL COME IN TIME Miss Dunn I Ites What Has Hern Done in Other tiles and la Certain Umahn Will Make tillUll, The total fund for the Young Women's Christian association building is i).'AI and some cunts. "Anyone who tnlnks the Young Women's Christian association is going to fall short in securing the Uo,(io for the new building by 12 o'clock Monday night does not know the men and women among whom the association Is working," remarked Miss Mary Dunn, national secretary of the association, Friday morning. If Hazclton, n little city ot Pennsylvania, could raise $'-i,)U in twelve days to complete its Young Men's Christian association fund, the re maining ft,000 for the Omaha Young Wom en's Christian association fund In three Jays need not stagger the faith of the .vorkers In a great prosperous city like .his.

Let there be some of the 'surprises' that there have been In some other cities. In Duluth the plans were made for a six itory Y'oung Men's Christian association building contingent on raising $300,000. One f the last gifts one of $25,000 was made m condition that two stories should be idded and the lift was made to $2S0,noo. A recent gift from C. W. Armour of Kansis r"ity. Kan., brought the amount asked there for the Young Women's Christian associa tion several hundreds of dollars over the ned." One of , the newest schemes devised by Miss Mary Irson's team is a peanut and popcorn booth which the members are ask ing permission to open at Sixteenth and Farnam streets for Saturday. Several more large automobiles have been promised for the "seeing Omaha" excursions Saturday and the sale of tickets Is encouraging. The Merriam hotel closed Its dining room at noon Friday and bought tickets for all Its boarders at the luncheon served by the women of First Presbyterian church. The proceeds of the luncheon will go to Miss Mary Larscn'a team. All of the teams but two have now raised their $1,000 and these have raised more than half the amount. The membership secretary reports 1.644 members Friday, which practically Insures the 2,0(0 membership by the closing of the campaign. 8TANDINQ OF THE TEAMS. Colors and Cnptalns. Amount. Darg blue.
