It-ant. the harmony that ha prevailed In the Omaha Woman ! club and the tren crl good felm; that has. existed among: the local cluba. And It lias all grown out f a luncheon ami the coming of Mr. Hrah Piatt. Deckn'. president of the Gen rral FedCratl6n of Women' Clubs. When It was announced a few day ago that the ttate, dlatrlct and local offices would have luncheon' with Mm. Dicker Monday noon It was accepted aa . a mistake and the women confidently expected that Monday , afternoon' general meeting of the Wo man's club would bring a general Invita tion to all who chose to attend the luncheon at ll.."itfa plafe. But no such thing hap P'Wd. 3.'h lunchcoa was not mentioned, though everyone wa Invited to attend the reception to be given for Mrs. Decker Mon day evening In the club rooms. In consequence there Is more hard feeling among Omaha club women Just now than there ha been inco a certain other occa sion' several years ago, when a national club officer was entertained at a luncheon by a self-appointed tow hostesses who by vlrtuo of their offices were In position to be a bit exclusive. - Then, as in the pres ent cane, the club membership waa not in vited to participate tn the luncheon, and It caused hard feelings, from which the club- has only . recovered within the last year or so. While there la little question that a smaller luncheon Is an Infinitely more satisfactory affair to the guest of honor as well as the hostesses. It Is re grettable that these restricted affair can not be managed without incurring less hard feeling.' Considering tho time, the price and the fai- that the club membership Is io have the privilege - of meeting Mrs. Decked Monday evening, It Is safe to ven ture that the luncheon Monday noon would not hove been overcrowded had it pro moters bem more considerate of their con Utuentq,' In the light of developments it would have been better to have omitted the compliment to Mrs. Decker than to have .created the feeling that ha been aroused. . u, (Hate Officer Expected.

In Other Words, It' a Plain Daub The "enlarged picture" man was around this week delivering enlarged pictures, so that many of our people are rejoicing with their photos enlarged and their pocket book a diminished, all struggling to get a seat In the panio bandwagon. A puzzling psycho logical effect of the delivery of enlarged pictures In our community is the fact that the facial line of the original subjects has Increased from three to five Inches since the delivery. Some of our philosophers contend that there Is an occult force that operates between the picture and the orig inal, causing an elongation of the facial muscle of the living original. However, this may be, It Is too deep a psychological queston for our limited Intellectual facul ties to solve. Next! Custer County Chief. The Indian and tho White "Good hoy," a Sioux Indian, had It impresaed upon his mind last Saturday afternoon that Valen tine has some "bad boys" when a quartet of prominent youth entered his tent, which was pitched on the Mlnnechaduza, during his ..absence, and shot hi, cooking utensils and camp furniture full of holes with a 22-callbre rifle. "Good Boy" was In sight of the lads when they committed the crime and on Monday went with the city mar shal and Identified the young men who were only to glad to settle for the property thoy had destroyed. They seemed to have their "war paint on that afternoon as aside from visiting the Indian teepe and cutting a wide swath they visited the slaughter yard of Btetter & Tobien and shot a pitchfork handle off a fork which was sticking In a hay stack, and did other minor damage, and the nobla Indian says shot a couple of hogs, but did not kill them. On Thursday previous to this escapade a ahoat was found In the slaughter yard with It body half submerged In the water through an ice hole In the creek, head down, and a bullet through Its body. The Indian sj;the boy shot the shoat. It is the supposition that the shoat was drink ing water when the shot waa fired that killed It, Whether these boy are guilty or not of the latter offense 1 not positively known, but their conduct at the tent and around the slaughter house was anything qui mai or law abiding citizens.

STRONG MEN OF PASTY NEEDED HemoVal of Wayae Coaaellasea Ashed by Aatl-Saloea I. rage e Sap-reane Coart Rale Aa-alaat Claim of Saaader. i (From a Staff Correspondent.) MNCOLN. Neb.. Jan. B.-(8peclal.) Attorney General Thompson In discussing the delegstes to the national republican convention ssld: "I have thought consldersbly on this sub ject. It seems to me that the republicans of Nebraska want the strongest, the most Influential and reliable representatives in the national council of the party. Whether they are officeholders or private oltlzens Is immaterial. "V'lem-ing the question alone from the standpoint of the distribution of honors, such officers should be eliminated. But in the light of sound party policy, the question of the bestowal of Individual honors. In my Judgment, should be one of secondary con sideration. "Personally, I am In favor of Governor Sheldon and Senator Brown. My reason are: "1. Because the republicans of the state have confidence Io these men. "2. They are strong, courageous and rep resentative leaders. "3. They came out in the open to cham pion the cause of the people for a square deal and to combat corporate influences in state politics, and, outside of the edltora of the republican press of the state, did more. In mjr Judgment, to redeem tho state from these Influences than any other men. In taking the stand they did, they naturally drew the fire of the opposition Influences and exposed themselves to the humiliation which might have resulted In possible de feat. "Therefore, I see no reason why George La. Sheldon and Norris Brown should be eliminated ss delegates to the national re publican convention simply because they have been successful In the fight they have made, and aa a result now chance to be holdiers of public office. It seems to me that the republicans of Nebraska need the help of these men In the national conven tion." Wayne Officers Accused. Governor Sheldon has been called on to rftnove from office three councllmen of Wayne because they refuse to revoke a sa loon license where the holder of the license has been convicted under the Slocumb law and fined. The law provides that where an offense of this kind is proved, a saloon man Is entitled no longer to his tight to do busi ness. The governor Is brought Into the case through the new law which permits him to remove officers derelict In duty. Last June, Peter Thomsen of Wayne was fined HO on each of six differ ent counts for seiiing liquor to minors. Th case waa appealed but waa thrown out of tho district court and the Judgment stands against Thomsen. January 13 tho anti saloon league requested the city council of Wayne to revoke the Thomsen license. By a vote of three to two tha motion to re voke was tabled. Councllmen Craven, Ciiaae and Neely who constitute the majority of tho council, are the members whose posi tions now depend upon the will of the governor. The Wayno officials have sent In a re quest for a hearing which will be granted them. Thomsen' license run until May , 190H. Application to the governor was made by Elmer K. Thomaa of Omaha. Governor Commote Sentences. Governor Sheldon has commuted the sen tences of Harry Strickland, sentenced to the penitentiary for three years from Val entine for robbery, and of Albert Adklnson of South Omaha, sentenced for three years on a similar charge. Each man lias served two years of his term. In the case of Strickland many people of Valentine Join in recommending clemency. The attorney general investigated the case and arrived at the conclusion that the action would be Just. Strickland had not been given the proper training when a youth and hi crime was said to be not entirely his fault. In the case of Adklnson It was decided that the punishment for his crime was severe enough already. He will be re leased next Saturday and Strickland Jan uary 29. Injunction Case Araaed. The application for an Injunction against the enforcement of the order of the rail road commission in the Manley elevator case was heard today by Federal Judge T. C. Munger. County Attorney C. A. Rawla of Cass county appeared for the elevator company and W. H. Orr for the Missouri Pacific, which Is resisting. The St. Joseph & Grand Island Railroad company has filed a schedule of tho new oil rates recently ordered by the railroad commission. The rate are accepted under protest. They will go Into effect next Sat urday. This Is the only line so far to take this action. Saunders Claim Turned Down. The state of Nebraska will not have to pay a claim of over J5qp, presented by War wick Saunders of Columbus, for services alleged to have been rendered by Mr. Saunders under a resolution passed by the legislature of 1S97 appointing a commission to ask for better freight rates to the south' and If necessary as a last resort to consider the propriety of building an in terstate railroad to the gulf of Mexico. Mr. Saunders was the only member of the commission who appeared to have con sidered "The propriety of building an Inter state railroad to the gulf." and he pre sented a claim to the state auditor for $456.57. The auditor rejected the claim which was thereupon assigned to the First National bank of Columbus and the latter appealed from the auditor's decision to the district court of Lancaster county. The court reversed the decision of the auditor and rendered a Judgment in favor of the bank. The state appealed to the supreme courjtr which today reversed and dismissed the suit. Commissioner John H. Ames, who wrote the decision says the public office which Mr. Saunders attempted to fill cannot be created and it power, duties and emoluments prescribed by concurrent resolution.

Exeter was visited by another fire this morning. This time it was the West Side livery barn. The fire was discovered at about. 5:15 by tho boys who were sleeping In the office. Tttry were probably awuk ened by the effort of the horses to get loose. The contents of the barn were owned by Attorney Delaney and consisted af eleven head of horses, several carriages. a lot of hay and feed, harness, blankets, rohes and other things, all of, which are a total loss, as there was ho insurance. The building belonged to S. P. Lester and was Insured for $rti. 11. A. Bivens, a young man from tho country, had a team In the barn for the night stalled near the front doors. Ho waa one of the three sleeping In the office. With a good deal of effort the boys got his team out with but little damage. This was the first test made by the town's new water works ssteru and It no doubt saved the busi ness part of the town on the west side, which was Just across the alley from the barn. The fire was too far advanced for the fire department to do any effective work on the burning building or its con tents. The origin of tho fire is unknown.

Importance of the financ ial legisla tion now before congress' has written to the secretaries of the' commercial clubs, that of this city among others, for a state ment by the secretary as to the wishes of the members of the club. The senator sought the opinions of the club on the Aldrlch and Fowler bills as also on the proposition to provide a fund for the guar antee of deposits in the national banks. The secretary of the 4Jrntid Island club, declined to make any estimate of the club's position, published the letter and asked for the Instruction of the club. At a meet ing last night the question was discussed. Neither the Aldrich nor the Fowler bill met with much favor. Nor was the propo sition of guaranteeing deposits the recipient of any god will. And. after considerable discussion, despite the fact that the inquiry made no mention of the postal savings bank system, a motion was adopted that Mr. Brown he urged to use all possible effort to secure the establishment of a postal savings bank system, with such con ditions, as to rcdcposltlng funds, etc., as shall bo deemed best and of equal advan tage to all sections.
