lias Weathered the Storms.
"When I first entered the order there was
quite a storm brewing," said Colonel T.
W. McCullough In responding to the toast,
"He Patient." "We have weathered the
gale, however, and find we have come
through the cleaner and brighter and
stronger because df the storm which is gone
Its force is spent and the trees of the
forest worth keeping are left standing
straight up.
"We have had other storms since that
time but we have met every Issue with that
spirit of patience which actuates Wood
men. We have proceeded patiently step by
step until we have broken a path so far
ahead into the new country that today we
are the marvel of the Insurance world.
"Different prophesies than those Just
made by Neighbor Magney were made at
that time. It was said that long before wo
reached this anniversary we would be out
of business, as experience had shown we
could not do what we were trying to do.
They still marvel at us, but they are shak
ing their heads and wondering w hat we
will do next.
"Therfe Is no limit to the possibility of
the membership of Modern Woodmen, nor
to Its Influence for good. We have sur
passed our own fondest hopes and what
we have done has boen achieved by pa
tience. We have gone ahead, keeping right
to (the line suggested by the principles on
which the order was founded. Ws have
found solid ground and the success Is the
result of patient, persevering progress.
Fraternal insurance has come to be quite
a fdd, hut the good old Modern Woodmen
lias gone ahead and success still crowns
Its path and will crown It for the reason
that It is moving on safe lines."
A letter of reminiscence was read from
J. W. Houder, who gave some of the early
experiences of the order.
Way Woodcraft Succeeds.
Head Consul A. K. Talbot spoke on
"Modern Woodmen, Paat and Present."
"If one would understand thoroughly the
force which la sending this ordYr to the
fore he must study the history of the or
ganisation. We are a part of the lives of
all the great men who have lived through
the ages. Just as our civilization Is the
product of the ages.
"This society Is a breathing, living Insti
tution which has grown and developed un
der the demands of mankind. The growth
cannot be limited by any1 man or set of
men and the future can only be foretold by
what the past has brought forth. The
Modern Woodmen was born In an oppor
tune time, when all procesrrs worked to
lead men to a higher plane.
"The first ten years of this society were
almost a failure, but during the last fif
teen years giant strides have been made
and some msrvelous things accomplished.
We have paid $64.&UO,000 to widows and or
phans and today we have nearly l,0u0,000
members, or nearly one-seventh of the fra
ternal membership of this country. This
Is a plain business man's society, the kind
of 'men who have bullded homes and made
this nation what It is by fighting Its wars
and always being to the fore In times of
need. It Is the fruitage and the flowering
of the doctrine of co-operation. We se
cured 147,000 new members, last year, and
January this year starts out stronger than
last. This Is young men's order and Is
revolutionising Insurance orders. The av
erage age of the members Is less than it
was when the society was organized. The
society was t4.0u0.ftn0 to the good at the
first of t lie year. The principal thought of
the society, however. Is to mould the lives
of the youth of .America," said Neighbor
Talbot, who discoursed eloquently and con
vincingly on the possibilities for good of

or five instances already. "The clerk proba
bly will receive them until tho exact plan

Yesterday saw the filing of several more
candidates for ilty offices. The one of
most Importance was that of John W.
tlribhle for the office of mayor on the
democratic ticket. It Is understood that
this filing Indicates Hint Thomas Hoctor

hle candidate for the Board of Education.
There may he several eleventh hour sur
prises. Ilia Demand for Coal.
. The South Omaha coal dealers did a rush
ing business In the face of the severe cold
wave. The sale of coal for the month, hiw
ever, has been much lighter than riurn;
the same perinil last year. H'lslness begun
to revive early in tile present week. Abou;
the same ntm-y is told by all the coal deal
ers. The dealers have a large supply on
hand and the prosiii-t l for no ahorlagn In
this line. The Hyiith Omaha clothing deal
ers have complained that sales of whiter
rarnients are far lighter than for several
years, owing to the long period of mildness.
The shoe men yesterday were doing a
heavy business with rubbers and over
shoes. No particularly needy cases were reported
to the police. The charity fund have been
drawn on pretty freely In caring for small
H)X patients whose homes havo been
quarantined. It is likely that some cases
of distress will-be discovered today.

The South Omaha packers are working
as many men as possible at present, but

Criticism.
Who can doubt that Mose Graves Is a
captain of industry and a Napoleon of
finance after perusing the following ac
count of his operations:
Mose Is a colored man. Friday evening
Officer Cullcn found him walking up the
street with a bundle of men's clothing In
his arms. The officer Investigated and
found that two complete suits of men's
clothes were included In Mose's stock. He
questioned tho merchant and M,oso told
him ho had bought the clothes from two
soldiers. The two soldiers had come to the
city with a month's pay, had doffed Hie
uniforms of 1'nclo Sam and had donned
citizens' ciotlies. When they had spent
their wages and were resdy to return to
the fort they sold the citizens' clothes to
Mose.
Tho officer asked Mose where he got the
M cents with which to buy the clothes.
There he thought he hnd Mose, for Mose
was never known to have that much cash
at one lime In his life. But the officer had
not reckoned on Mose's abilities as a Na
poleon of finance. Mose, in fact, had pur
sued th same method so popular In Wnll
street when there is a tightness In the
money maiket. He had borrowed the f,'l
cents from Red-Headed Jess, using as col
lateral a certain hill due hlni for cleaning
a house. This bill was 30 cents and was
then quoted ut about So In the open market.
With the f0 rents secured from Red
Headed Jess, Muse had bought the clothes
from the two soldiers and was on his way
to sell th"ii when the officers interfered

At the station Mos demanded that In

The mini". ns of tlie law had to comply,

story was verified. He was discharged at

MYSTIC HAND FILLS CRIBS
Who Itrtrsintril Martin Arcade la
the Latest Mystery In the
Occult World.
The cases of the fourteen women taken
from Martin's Arcade In the; proscribed
district in a raid Thursday night tinder
orders from Acting Msyor Johnson, were
continued In police court Saturday morn
ing until Tuesday.
A warrant wns Issued Saturday for the
arrest of I.. Harris, -the ngent of Martin,
who, some of the "women testified, had
collected the ti daily rent from them. The
charge against him Is renting premises for
Immoral purposes. He was arrested In Hie
afternoon and released on hail.
And still the mystery of the attack on
Martin's Arcsde is as great as ever. Mayor
Dahlman and Chief of Police Donahue do
not know why the women have been driven
from the Arcsde nnd are allowed to re
main In the other bnUdings.
The Arcade had been vacant since It was
raided several weeks ao. but Thursday
night the lights were turned on nnd the
doors unlocked and Hie "cribs" quickly
filled. Then the rsld was made under tha
acting mayor orders.
"I don't know who has initiated this
action," said t.'hier Donahue. "The places
down there are conducted more orderly
than they ever were before. If any of
Hie good people can suggest a way of
ridding Hie city of such places altogether
tho police will be only too glad to lend
every aid In Its power. No one would b
gladder to see the city rid of tills evil than
ve. But why one place Is singled out and
the others allowed to be open I do not
know.
"These women have to stay somewhere,
as long as wo have them. When they ven
ture out Into the resectable neighbor
hoods complaints come to us and wo are
asked to arrest them. When they go back
to their old places they are driven out."
