The funeral services will be held Sunday at Masonic temple. Hh Interment at Forest I.awn cemetery. Judge Hascall had been a prominent figure In politics In Omaha and the state ever since he came here In JiSB. Within thefe -forty-three years he has served as county Judge, member of the constitutional convention, state senator, member of the city council and for a short lime was act ing governor of the state. Ills unique per sonality and strong characteristics made him sn unusual figure. For a number of years he lived alone In a little house on the bluff east of Rlvervlew park. The house was a mile from the car line, but until his Illness began he was hale and hearty and did not mind the walk, belnf a frequent visitor up town. He was bom March . MM. In Erie county. New Tork. His father, Jonathan Hascall, was a presidential elector from New Tork In lMe. The son studied In the public schools and read law with 'Judge lnrenio Morris. Ho was admitted to the ban Buffalo. N. Y., in 1863. In the fall of MM he decided to start out Into the west to seek his fortune. This was soon after the great '49 excitement In California. He weirt first to Fort Riley. Kan., where he stayed during the. winter of 1864-55. In the spring of the latter year he went up Into the l.lttle Rlue country and later returned to Atchison, Kan., "where he practiced law four years. Pashes en West. He then determined to push farther into the jtreat west, though It was then In fested with Indians and overrun with law less 'white men. He secured transportation to Denver and thcYe organized a train for Orojron. ' Dick Parting, afterward of Omaha, was ono of the men whom he took with him on this trip and from him he first heard of Omaha. It was a lon and very perilous trip from Denver across the I.aramie plains to Oregon. Part of his baggage was a great box filled with law hooks. Through all the hardships of that trip he clung to that box, though other trains were driven to such straits that they dropped even log chains and all heavy things that could possibly be dispensed with. Many times the Indians attacked him and he had a number of very narrow escapes. It was on this trip Judge Hascall Is credited with discovering the Shoshone falls In Wyoming. He had adventure after ad venture but finally arrived In Oregon and for five yeare was engaged in the practice of law on the Pacific coast. He traveled the circuit and his experiences were such as to test the courage of the most daring spirit. In addition to his law practice he turned his attention at times to prospect ing. He finally went to San Francisco and from their back to New York by way of the Isthmus. There he Joined his wife who had returned to her old home when he started from Kansas for the west. He was dis satisfied, however, with the east and he started for Omaha, arriving here In March, 18S6. Owing to the boom that was on then he found it difficult to secure a house but finally purchased a building at Fifteenth and Farnam and began housekeeping in on of the rooms and opened up a law office In the same building. Enters Politics at Oner. His identity with politics began almost with the day of his coming to the city, for he was appointed county Judge to fill out the tejm of Judge Dickinson, who had died. The following year he was elected to the office. He was afterward a member of the constitutional convention and cast the de ciding vote in the senate on the constitu tional provision regarding the negro, under which Nebraska was made a state. He was, elected to the senate again in 1869 and was la that body when It Impeached Governor Butler in 1870. He was acting governor of the state for a short time In the early days. In city politics he has been a power and has often been referred to as "boss" of. DYSPEPSIA PROOF. How Any KeaJ Ou Be Thoroughly In Joyed by Aay Stomach.

He was councllman-at-lsrge two terms, served one term as councilman from the First ward and one term as coun cilman from the Second ward. The first year he was In the council he secured the building of the big Jackson street sewer. He was a man most remark able for his thorough knowledge of the property In the city. He had a perfect mental picture of any lot that might be mentioned. He gained a reputation also for doing things and for sterling honesty. None could excell him In shrewdness, but he wss as generous as he wss shrewd. He con ducted extensive speculations In resl estate', chiefly In the south part of the city. He has left a permanent monument in the foundation for a million-dollar hotel or castle which he had projected. The founda tions still exist, embracing an area of more than a block Just north of the Vinton Btreet psrk. People have named it "Hascall's folly." Ttetlrea from Aetlre I.lfv. Of lale years Judge Hascall Iihs not been very active either in politics or his profes sion. He retired a number of years sgo to his little house on the bluff and devoted most of his time to reading and study, of which he wss fond. He also wrote some. His marital experiences were not happy. He and his first wife separated a number of years ago. They had one daughter, Mrs. R. F. William of Omaha. About a year ago he was married again In Buffalo, N. T., to woman he had known as a school girl half a century before. He had known her as Portia Hawkins, but after he .left the east ahe married, and was a widow when he married her. They lived together a short time and then separated and she returned to tha east. After the separation he again resumed his solitary life. 8evera! weeks ago he was found In his home helpless from a stroke of psralysls. .Since then hope pf his re covery had been slight. Ha was taken to St. Joseph's hospital, where he has been since. Daughter Sole Heir. When Mrs. Hascall left the Judge after but a brief period aa his wife and com panion, she Informed bim she did so with no Intention of returning and she kept her word. What property the Judge left, which was not considerable, went to Mrs. Will iams, his daughter. Some weeks ago, while he was In possession of all his faculitles, he summoned his daughter and witnesses and the proper legal authority to his bed side and there made out the necessary papers that transferred to Mrs. Williams all his earthly possessions and bound them safe from 'attachment by Mrs. Hascall, should she seek to assert a claim. Dr. J. S. Alexander, who attended Judge Has call during the final Illness, was one of the witnesses to this proceedure. As far as known Judge Hascall did not affiliate with any religious denomination. Discussing his beliefs once he said: "There are so many 'Isms' that I could not decide oil any one of them." He was a close student of the Bible, however. He has been a member of the Masonic order since hla youth and was particularly proud of the fact his father and grandfather were members of the same order. BELLEVUE SELECTS ORATORS Fred D.

Francis Xavler's church In Council Bluffs were attended by a large congrega tion of relatives and friends, including many prominent Council Bluffs and Omaha musicians. The services, conducted by Rev.

Anniversary of Election of Its First Board of Directors Observed. SEVERAL OF FOUNDERS PRESENT Those Who Hare Watched It t.row Tell of Its Trials and Its Trl- mphs and at Ha Mopes far the Katare. About sixty of the former and present directors and executive officers of the Omaha Young Men s Christian association celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the founding of that Institution Friday night around the banquet tables in the Young Mens Christian association building. It was forty years sgo Frldsy night that the first board of directors was elected. Men who laid tria foundation of the present great Institution , came from far away places to celebrate the event with the younger generations who have carried out the work for which they had helped build the foundation nearly a half century ago. Many more living at far a wy -places who were not able to b present sent telegrams or letters of regret and congratulation. ' Robert Weldensall of New York, the first secretary, nd for years the guiding star of the association, and now secretary of the International committee of the Young Men's Christian association, was present. Tha widows of the first members of the board of directors which was elected forty years ago last night were Invited and were all present. They are Mesdames Watson B. Smith, J. D. Detwller, George Groff and B. C. Wade, and also Mrs. William Fan ning, whose husband was a member of the first board. Jrhn L. Kennedy presided as toastmasUr and was Introduced by T. J. Wallace. lie started the program with a neat speech. He said: The men who have built up this associa tion have been sustained and encouraged by the women at home, and the man who believes any great and good work can suc ceed without woman's support will find he Is mistaken. Four Historical Chapters. Tho historical part of the program was divided Into four sections, comprising ten years each. William Fleming oovered tin ten years from Ifc68 to 1878, A. G. Charlton from 187S to 1SS8, W. H. Russell from 188S to 1S98 and Dr. W. O. Henry from 1898 to 1908. Mr. Fleming said In part: The cull wss In tile newspaper on No vember 22, 1867, for a meeting in Vlscher s block In room 8. The first devotional exer cises were conducted by John V. Detwller. January 1, lmw, the association was In corporated with thirty members. Of the thirty members William Fleming is the only one living continuously in the city. The winter of 1S68-9 was a hard one on the poor and the association was very activo In the direction of giving aid, and was a factor in the organization of the Ladies Relief society, which flourished for a great many years and was the charitable organi sation of the city and did effective and Influential work. A. G. Charlton said: In 1877 the association met In a 9x19 room In the Williams block, corner of Fifteenth and Dodge streets. The 178-9 city direc tory snows W, A. Lipe, president; H. H. Kennedy, vice president; H. G. McKoon, treasurer; George F. Glfford, secretary. The 1881 city directory shows us In rooms over 109 South Fourteenth street. Meet ings were held Sunday evenings In the Tivola beer gardens. Ninth and Farnam streets, and were wonderfully interesting arid well attended. September. 1882, rooms were engaged In the old Barker block, Fifteenth and Farnam. October 15, lSMi, rented the top floor of the Williams block, Fifteenth and Farnam, for $1,000 per year. W. H. Russell said: Every man In those days felt like aiv office In the Young Mens Christian as sociation was a bore. I was elected treas urer in 1889. and the first thing 1 got was a bunch of bills. Our credit was a minus quantity, and the hard times of 1S93-4 found us In mighty bad shape. But the associa tion was composed of men who knew not the word fail, and this structure stands as a monument to their perseverence. Dr. W. O. Henry was called away before his turn and was unable to deliver his speech. His manuscript said, In part: An institution is not especially valuable to the city because it cost $1,000,000. This building of which we are so Justly proud Is not intensely important to the community because of Ita equipment, the swimming pool, Its gymnasium, its bath or restaurant, nor yet because It cost a vast amount of money. For in spite of all these advant ages, It might be used for immoral pur poses, for degrading vices, for the corrup tion of society. Nay. but why do we prize It? Of what superior advantage Is It over other buildings of greater cost and finer architecture and furnishings? The thln overshadowing all other consideration In extending the value of this structure in this city Is the Ideals of moral and Chris tian character for which it stands and by which the Importance of Christian man hood Is emphasized in every one of Its va ried departments. Forty Years of Retroniirct. Robert Weldensall spoke on the subject, "Observations for Forty Years." He said: In those days when this association was started omaha was the last place to get n drink on the way west. We had a strong class of people here who bad been tried In fire as it were. Never was better work done by a Young Men's Christian associa tion. It was made up of nun and women, and Its work readied all classes, sm-h as the boatsmen, the men In jail, men in boarding houses and travelers. Omaha was the first headquarters of the international committee of the Young Men's Christian as sociation, furnished the first International secretary and did the first railroad Young Men's Christian association work. Omahu should and likely will be the first Young Men's Christian-' association city In the country. It is located In the center of a territory that feeds the world, and Its In fluence can be made to be felt to the four corners of this country.

' THE DYING HAWAIIAN RACE Tntermurrlaicr Appears the Only Hope for lif Bronn Peoule of tbc, Pacific. A very dark shadow has been felt to haiiB over the future of the native Ha walians. It comes from the early and ob stinate depopulation which began with Cook's discovery in 1778. The most re liable estimates places the then population at not less than 2C0.00O. At tbs arrival of the missionaries In 1RJ0 not more than 100, oni remained, and the multitude of aban doned village sites gave the old mission aries an lmrrcssion that fully two-thirds of the people had disappeared. Tha causes of that enormous mortality were not obscure. They were the Intro duction ' among the long-isolated "nature race," wholly lacking the immunity en Joyed by continental peoples, of new and virulent diseases, which swept them off. Chief anions' these diseases w as on w hich Cook's shipes brought, and which Hpcedily Infested the entire population. Tuberculo sis contributed. Added t' theso hostile influences were the depopulating wars of Kamelianieha, and the destructive collection of sandal wood, while whaleshlps converted every seaport Into a public brothel. Mitigating and remedial Influences have since then operateed favorably under in creasing moral culture and Intelligence, but tho depopulation la not yet wholly checked. Kl!mating from lbs later census figures there are now remaining less than Y00O pure Hawailans, and not mora than 10.000 part Hawailans. Tha total racial di minution has been about one-half In th last half century, although part Ha wallana have, rapidly increased during that Every Suit, r Prices R3.ex $1.00 $2.50 $4.98 $10.00 $5.00 $7.50 $10.00 $15.00 ..$1.98 ) .yo $3.98 $5.98 ALL CHILDREN'S COATS DIVIDED INTO Coats 98c Coats $122 Coats $2:2?

The excess of deiithK over hlrtiis still remains, with a great mortality among Hie pure Hawaiian children. What are their prospect? f'r tho future? Wo should answer measurably hopeful. There Is manifest improvement. Especially Is this t'.io case among tho mixed breed, who are rapidly galnins In numbers, duo in i heir sunciiur energy and intelligence. and to their wiser care of offspring. I'ndcr present outlook, the mixed llawaiians are! likely In a very iew nninu exceed the pur.- native breed in numbers. The prevailing language of both classes will have become entirely Krigllsh. due lo lhA vlaorous teaching of hngllsh in the common schools, where Portuguese and a miotic vouth. alike with Hawaiian, are learning good "l iillid plates" which will displace the outlandish tongue, as it does on our own continent. The future commingling of Hawaiian blood with the other races will Jiot be an unwholesome one. The Hawaiian nature Is courageous mid generous, and peculiarly receptive to new light. The Japanese laco anciently received a very large infusion of cognate Oceanic blood, which loosened up their ancient Mongolian stiffness and maiio them versatile and receptive. W'o may thus look forward lo the future descendants of the Hawailans with liiMic-fulness and pride. The future composite result will make the coming Hawaiian civilisation u bright ono under tho presiding power of American Inslltuilons. St. Louis Itepublic.
