Another' 0ltm is brewing; In local club
circle that -threaten to upset, for the time
ill. 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. .

"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

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

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

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

about. 5:15 by tho boys who were sleeping
In the office. Tttry were probably awuk

af eleven head of horses, several carriages.

In the barn for the night stalled near the
front doors. Ho waa one of the three

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.
