HI There was somo discussion before the opening- of the meeting of the Dahlman Ijemoiracy Wednesday night as to the meaning of a mystic design which appeared on the wall of the hull back of the chair man' dusk. Vpon a background of royal purple appeared a picture of the mayor draped in white and the mystlo letters, "H. O." At least that wai what It looked like. Mont of those present thought aome decisive action was Impending regarding the currying of the work Into South Omaha and there was discussion along this line. It turned out thut the supposed letters were really no letters at all, but the fig ures, "60." The mayor passed the half century mark last Saturday and In honor of the event the club presented him with a gold-headed umbrella. 13. E. Howell made the presentation speech, reviewing the course of the club since its inception, refuting the statements of those who had criticised the organisa tion and predicting for it a bright future, lie deplored the hostile attitude of the Jacksonlan club. The mayor, in his speech of acceptance, predicted that the Dahlman Democracy would come to be known as one of the greatest organizations of its kind known in any country, having not only a city but a national scope. The club will give a banquet some time in the spring, probably on Jefferson's birthday. In April. There was considerable diversity of opinion as to whether a ban quet, a tl dinner or i plcnlo should be given. The matter was finally left In the hands of the mayor, who will consult with speaker of national reputation In an effort to secure the presence of one of them. Among those mentioned were W. J. Bryan, "Tom" Johnson of Cleveland and Grover Cleveland. Open evenings, Frenzer. lEth and Dodge. OLD MAN COMMITS SUICIDE 111 Health Induces Frederick Maerlcer to Cat His Throat.

With the transfer of the general offices of the Omaha Packing company to their new quarters tho plant Is now about es tablished In the new location. The beef killing has been going on for about two months and the hog and sheep slaughter began about three weeks ago. The only operations now being conducted In the old establishment are the sweet pickling and i the refining. These will be transferred In the near future and after that time the old building will be used for cold storage pur- i poses for cured meats. Some of the stor age will be offered to other packing plants I of the city If desired. The refrigerating machinery la left to furnish the Ice neces sary to supply the old plant. The new offices are still In an unfinished condition and It will require some time to complete the work. The work of renova tion in the main part of the plant is still Incomplete and it will be three months probably before the plant will be pro nounced finished. Three entirely new build ings have been erected besides the large sheds which have been constructed. Many of the final details have not yet been ar ranged, but will be now that the office force has moved down. Armour & Co. has progressed far enough with Its oleo department to allow the car penters to enclose the roof. The walls have been raised. The interior work will continue rapidly after the roof Is on. The plant has been running about to the full capacity during the last month. Bwlft and Company has the foundations completed for the new beef house, but it Is probable that the work will be slow during the winter months because the walls are to be of concrete and cannot be erected during severe weather. Brakeman ITaa a Close Call. N. W. Lawson, living at 1409 South F.lev enth street, Omaha, met with a severe ac cident in the railroad yards last night. The engines take on water at the foot of N street, and during the recent cold weather the hose which has been utilized has not been so handled as to prevent the accumulation of considerable Ice at this point. As one of the Union Pacific engines ran up to the place to take water, lawson, who is a brakeman, was busy with the at tachments In front of the moving train. Just as it was opposite him he slipped on the Ice and would have fallen under the engine had he not thrown himself violently backward with a lucky push against the foot board. As It was, he fell to the ground and fractured his right shoulder, bruised his right leg seriously and hurt his head. The injury to his shoulder was most severe. He was taken to the South Omaha hospital and his family in Omaha notified. Dr. Davis attended him in the first instance. - Man's Actions Suspicions. It is reported from several sources there Is a man operating in South Omaha with a gas meter tester. He visited several houses yesterday, among them being that of K. P. Roggen, deputy city clerk. Though no complaints have been uttered by any or the residents whose houses he has visited. It is, nevertheless, true that the South Omaha offices of the Omaha Gaa company did not know that any person had the right to Inspect their meters. They did not know that anyone had been sent down from Omaha. It was, therefore. feared that the man might be an imposter and was working the ruse of examining the gas pressure for the purpose of gaining entrance Into people's houses with ulterior Intent. No complaints, however, were filed with the police of any such misconduct. Bla- Tax Payments. The Schllts Brewing company yesterday contributed its share to the support of the South Omaha city government. Its taxes amounted to $1,962. The South Omaha Savings bank, the first of the bank lng institutions to pay, also paid up In the sum of JJOO. Large collections will be looked for during the remaining days of this year.

Is visiting friends In South Omaha. He declared that plans had been submitted to the board of directors for the extension of the gaa mains to Omaha and other Intervening Nebraska points, He said that gas was furnished at St. Joseph at 26 cents per 1,000 cubic feet and at Kansas City at 30 cents. If the extension should be made to Omaha the estimated price here would be In the neighborhood of 60 cents per 1.000 cubic feet. Basket Ball at T. M. C. A.

DIAMONDS-Frenaer. litn and Dodge BENNETT WINDOW DISPLAY plrlt ef Christmas Seen In Novel and Beaatlfnl Decora tions. Persons who are afflicted with the tnmible so prevalent during the Yuletldo, absolute paucity of Ideas as to the selec tlnn of gifts, can heave a deep sigh of re lief and feel that their troubles are o'er by a casual inspection of the show win dows of the Bennett company, Sixteenth and Harney streets, who, with its accus tomed forethought for the needs of its many customers, has provided a variety of articles for exhibition at prices which will fit any purse, large or small. The fact that the spirit of Christmas is , in the air Is forcibly brought to one's at tention by the huge wreath of holly sus pended over the ent entrance to the store, m-hlch Is surmounted by a large red paper bell so popular as a decoration in many homes. Everywhere the Christmas idea is rampant and each window is profusely decorated with holly. A novel feature never before displayed in Omaha Is that In the south window on the Sixteenth street side of the building The attention pf the passerby is first at tracted by the sight of a beautifully gowned lay figure i tapping In what ap pears to be .the vestibule of a palatial ca thedral to hand a $1 bill to a poor raga muffin with several copies of The Bee under his arm for sale. The attitude of the lay figures are most realistic,, the boy's denoting that he is almost frosen from cold, while charity and the Christmas spirit of giving seem to beam from the wax countenance of the woman. Handerkerchlefs are the constituent ele ments of the church structure, the walls and vestibule of the entranoe being com posed entirely of handkerchiefs of the finest texture carefully arranged to give the effect of the stone walls of a church. The windows are of tapestry and when augmented by the subdued glow of eloetric lamps the whole presents a most reallstlo and fairy-like picture which dallv and nightly attracts the attention of thousands of Christmas shoppers. Pictures of pleasing variety and of more than usual merit occupy the entire window next to the church scene and the display of furs and velvet gowns In tho next win dow Is a constant delight to the eternal feminine. An ever growing crowd of wide-eyed, and even Wide-mouthed, chil dren gather at the corner wlndpw Where Santa Claus reigns supreme for the benefit of the young persons for whom Christmas was really Invented. Toys of a thousand varieties are scattered In the window with heart-breaking prodigality to many of the penniless waifs who feast their eyes on the things which they know can never be theirs. The miniature automobile Is a feature of the toys of the Christmas of 1806 and several which look as If they would really run are tastefully displayed. The china department of the store has fine display of hand-painted china, as well as tho more staple grade, such as Havlland, Sevres, etc., and amid the shower of colors of the decorated china can be seen the scintillations of heavy pieces of cut glass.

AVE DELIVER Se Our Windows CAMPAIGN OF MUD SLINGING New York Life Man Thus nates Fight for Control. Deals- r Word has Just been received at the local agency of the New York Life Insurance company from Thomas A. Buckner, vice president, confirming the Associated Press dispatch regarding the election Tuesday and In which he says: ''Administration ticket overwhelmingly successful. Majority will probably exceed 100,000." In speaking of tho campaign which has Just closed Frank L. Campbell of the local office haa this to say: "I am not a politician and have no aspir ations to meddle In politics, but If I had ever entertained such an Idea Is certainly would have been knocked out of me after going through what we have have gone through the past few months. I have seen a number of political fights in the twenty odd years I have lived in Nebraska and we all know there have been some pretty hot ones, but never have 1 seen anything any where that would compare with what we have gone through In. the past two,.years. Men of the highest type of American citi zenship have had their character and honor assailed by a band of Wall street pirates and their paid attorneys. Nothing has been too terrlblo for them to charge our officers with, no deed too cruel for them to commit, but we have been vindicated and vindi cated not only by an overwhelming vote of confidence, but these votes were cast by the best people, by men of affairs all over thla and foreign lands. 'The men who are most prominent in business .and professionally are the ones who have endorsed the administration, In the strongest terms. For Instance, If you will permit me, I wish to say that as a campaign document I solicited the endorse ment to a letter from a few of our most prominent and Influential business and pro fessional men In this city, bankers, lawyers, newspapermen, railroad officials, whole salers, etc., and secure the signature of every man whom I saw. And to this fact not only here, but being carried out all over the country, do I attribute the success of the campaign. I 'Of course the agents had something to do toward accomplishing these results. The agent should be and I have no doubt Is better posted on the past investigation than almost any one else. He has studied every word of evidence produced In the Armstrong Inquisition, as he was more vitally interested than any one else, and In this connection it mlghtfbe well to state that the agents of the New York Life stood shoulder to shoulder and fought as a man, not only giving tholr time, but money as well.
