Girl Worried Over
Loss of Relatives
in the War Arena
Worry of Mary Malacha, a ball girl at
Hotel Rome, over tho fate of her five
cousins In tho Austrian army now fight
ing against the Russians, has been In
creased by a necessary delay In dispatch
ing a quantity of surgical cotton, which
she mailed through tho Omaha postof
flce and was held up by the postal And
customs officials.
She constantly feared that she would
receive bad news of her relatives at the
front, but no word came. Healing of
the dirth of absorbent cotton and ban
dages in tho European hospitals, she
wrapped up two big bundles and sent
them by parcel post In the care of the
Red Cross society at Caslav, Bohemia,
and Olamouo, Moravia.
As Superintendent of Malls Metland
and Collector of Customs Cadet Taylor
did not know the contents of the parcels,
they held them until Miss Malaoha could
explain. Now she is more worried than
ever, the postal and customs formalities
required by law having added to her
nervousness concerning her soldier rela
tlVes. She has been In' America only- a
short time.
The absorbent cotton Is now on Its way,
however, and the girl's associates at the
hotel are trying to console her aa best
they can. The whereabouts of her
cousins is not known, and all may have
been killed or wounded In the fierce
fighting..
Pioneers to Watch
the Old Year Out
and New One In
Members of the Douglas County Asso
ciation of Nebraska Pioneers have laid
their plans for seeing the old year out
and the new one in. With this end in
view they will gather Thursday evonlng
at their 'rooms in the court house and
remain there until after midnight.
The watch meeting of the pioneers of
Bouglaa county and Nebraska will be
conducted along the lines of those of
years ago, when the members of the as
sociation were young men and women,
and when Nebraska, too, was young. It
will be something of a smoker. Besides,
there will be a good-sired keg of hard
cider, several bushels of doughnuts, any
quantity of mince pies and a great
boiler of coffee. During the evening there
will be a literary and musical program.
On the side there will be some fiddling
and a chance for those who feel like It
to do a little dancing.

Appointment of a standing committee
to be selected annually to Investigate
charges of unT(feslonal conduct on the
part of lawyers arising In lawsuits or
elsewhere Is to . be made by Judges of
the district court at their annual meet
ing at the close of the old year, accord
ing to authentic information secured at
the court house.
This committee will differ from previ
ous similar bodies named by the Judges
from time to time in that, it Is said, it
will be expected to assume an attitude
of Investigation rather than to remain
merely in a receptive position. The com
mittee will deal only In future events,
the last grand Jury being assumed to
have wiped the slate clean so far as
past history Is concerned.

Although this action, it Is said. Is not
In the nature of an answer to the request
of the Omaha Bar association that an
Investigation be made of the last grand
Jury, which indicted several lawyers, it
is likely thnt no other reply will be
made to the request. It is practically
certain, it Is asserted, that the lawyers'
request will not be granted.
Previous committees named by the
Judges for the purpose of dealing ith
charges of unprofessional conduct against
lawyers have been without result, ex
cept that the results of their investiga
tions were used by the last grand Jury.
The committee now in existence was
named two years ago. Doubt haa existed,
ii is declared, in the minds of some of
its members whether they should take
the initiative in beginning investigations
and no secret has been made of the fact
that they are anxious to be relieved of
its responsibilities.

Jacksonian Club
is Divided on the
Annual Observance
For so many years has the Jnrktonlan
club of Omaha been annually tvlebratlng
the anntverKary of the victory of Andrew
Jackson over the British at New Orleans,
that this annunl banquet has been taken
as a matter of course. Now on the eve
of the anniversary of this bnttle the an
niversary that has the greatest meaning
of all. since It Is tho centennUI anniver
sary January S. this long established
Jacksonian club Is somewhat divided as
to whether or not to glvo the annual
banquet.
It Is entirely possible and even probable
that the club will yet get together on the
proposition and give this banquet, but at
the last meeting Saturday night, they
could not are on It. Pome wanted to
celebrate. Others wanted the occasion to
go by default this year. The meeting
adjourned without any definite decision
on the matter having been reached.
There is one more chance, however.
Another meeting Is to be held next Satur
day erenlng In the Patterson block. The
proposition of a banquet is to be brought
up again at that time. If It should be
decided upon them, there will yet remain
nearly a week in which to make the ar
rangements and engage some speakers.
OMAHA PRINTER INVENTS
A NEW STYLE "STICK"
A new printer's "stick," for use In Job
composing, has Just been patented and
prepared for manufacture by C. t Stu
art, 82 South Twenty-first street. He Is
employed by the Festner Printing com
pany. Fritilers assert that his invention
will prove a great help to improved work
in that trade.
Its advantage Is that it can be set ac
curately to a fraction of a point, whloh
Is only one-seventy-aecond of an inch,
whereas the old style printer's "stick"
can be set only to one-twelfth of an
Inch. Stuart secured a patent in his own
name and has made up a number of the
new appliances, but haa not decided
whether to manufacture them himself or
sell his rights to a company.

the rest of the body can be immobile,
