He urged upon all the brethren the nocessity of personal offortin tho matter of helping to entertan the delogates other distinguished guests who will be at that time. o said the new Bord theater was & superb place, 50 far as the delo- Rates were concerned, for the holding of the conference, but he fearea it would not be very satisfactory to the visitors be- cause it had been built in such a manner that veople sitting in the galleries could see the stuge but could not see much of the parquot, whero tho delegates are tosit. Ie hinted that the Coliseum might have to beused so as to furnish batter accommodations for the spectators. ‘I'he bishop also urged upon the pastors present the necessity of helping along with thdhospital work and all charitable enter- prises.

A rich, warm glamor was cast over the brilliant scene from the deep red shades over the gas jets and golden bulbs of the electric lights, which looked like buge gold bues. At 5 o'clock the throng adjourned to the gymunasium, where an atbletic exhibition was given by the senior class under the di- rection of Prof, Sheldou.

W. ROLAND REED'S HOLIDAY, How the Members of the Company el the Head at a Banguet, Mr. Roland Reed, as has always been his custom, entertained the members of his com- pany on New Year's eve. No happier sot of congenial souls can be brought together than those found at these impromptu theatrical gatherings. Iecitations, songs, anecdotes and bon mots are the order of the hour, the formality of most gatherings is dispensed with, and nature asserts herself in the ex- temporaneous efforts of all assembled, which gives to the raception the brightest and most humorous sayings. The banquet was held at the Millard hotel, Mr. Reed, in his happiest mood, presided, and was ably assisted by nis colleagues. Just as the clock struck 12 Miss Isadore Rush gave the toast *“I'o Absent F'riends,” and then, with hands linked, tho entire party, as tho last hour of 1501 was passing, sang “‘Auld Lang Syne.” Mr. Georgo Nash rosponded to the toast, “Shakespeare,” and elicited 8o much ap- piause that he hud to respond with his own selcetion, ““The Actor and Treasurer; or Must I Touch?" Mrs. Mary Myers entertained her co- workers with interesting reminiscences. Mr. Albert Roberts gave a fow extempo- raneous romarks on “Why Will Summer Ever Come.” Mr. Julian Reed, whoso genial countenance and sparkling brown eyes bespoke scintil- lating humor, was educated in England and gavo a vivid picture of cockneyism. In fact, so realistic was it that during the entire evening he dropped his “H’s.” Mr. Charles Smiley responded to the toast of “Prohibition,” gave a description of the harm which liquor had produced, and closed b_\{r (ll)flnklng a bumper to the good health of all. The toast ‘‘Vezetables” was responded Lo by Mr. W. O. Saunders, the ex-treasurer of the coinpany, and as ho had been a clerk i the Agricultural department at Washing- ton he gave a glowing account of the develop- ment of the cabbage, Ho spoke touchingly of how in the winter of 1575 he had clothed the poor children of an entire county with cabbago lvaves and thereby convinced the sclontists that cabbage as well as wool would furnish the necessary warmth. Mr. A. S. Pennajer sang his composition, “The Prairie Flower,” as sung by him in Castle Garden, New Yorx, before Jenny Tand who then pronounced him a siger of groat promise. Z Mr. Jack Moyniban spoko pathetically of “Iroland,”” and closed his remarks with tho bopo that the United States government would establish the cuttivation of the Sham- rock as the national flower. Miss Edna Wallace and Miss Millie James bowed most pleasantly to their healths which was proposed by all, ana responded with o dialogue entitied *“Tho Two Midgets.’ As the hours had pasted quickly all retired with best wishes to their manager, Mr. Roland Reed, and closed by singing, *He's a Jolly Good Fellow.” New Year's Amenities, James D. Butler, day clerk at the Windsor hotel, was presented with a gold watch and chain by the guests aud boarders of the house yesterday noon, The New Year's gift was a token of the esteem 1n which his friends held him. When the presentation was to be made Colonel P. M. Snowden of Washinguwon City, who has been stopping at the house the past few weeks, was called upon to make the presentation speech. Ho did so0 in approvriate language, wishing Mr, Butler, in behalf of the presenters, a *Happy New Year.” On New Year's day the employes of the American Express company devoted a part of their holiday to visiting Tne Bee building and gaining somo information as to how a great daily newspaper is made. Thoy ox- pressed themsclves as delighted with all they saw, and no little astonishmont was manifested by those of the party who were recent arrivals in the city at the metropol- itan style and areat onternrise displayed in the various departments of the paper. A fashionable New vear's ball of society people was given at the Millard last nizht, About fifty couples wore in attendance and the dance was continued until after midnight. Reception to Bishop und Mrs, Newman, Betwoen 200 and 300 p2ople attended tho recoption tendered Bishop and Mrs. Now- man last night at the First Methodist church by the Methodist ladies of Omaha. Tho occasion was quite informal and socia- bility was the order of the hour. Bishop and Mrs. Newman returaed last weok from the east after an absenno of nearly five months, and the Methodist peovle of the city improved this opportunity of welcoming them back to Omuha. A large number of ministers, Sunday school superintendents and prominent church workers were nresent. After everybody present bad been vre- sented to the Bishop and Mrs. Newman and a season of soclability had been enjoyod, tho assembly was Invited to the lecture room in tho basement, whero rofreshments were served by the laaies having the reception in hand.

Why the Farmers Union Insurance Com? pany Was Olosed Up, PATRONIZED LARGELY BY ALLIANCE MEN. Oma in the Su- Works Its Obnoxions Rul Lixcory, Neb., Jan. 1.—[Special to Tue Bee. | —The Farmers Union Insurance com- pany of Grand Island is under a cloud and in tho temporary possession of a receiver. As- sistant Attorney General Summers returned last ovening from Grand Island where he had veen for sevoral days looking into the company’s affai Tho Farmers Union In- surance company was the outgrowth of the farmers alliance agitation which sweptover the stato sevoral years ago and was organ- 1zed by prominent leaders in that wovement. J. M. Sanford was one of the leaders in the formation of the company and his favorite method of soliciting business was to hold meetings in country school houses and com- plain bitterly of the extortions of the insur- ance corporations who were keeping the farmers poor by excessive premiums on insuratce. He would then extol the merits af the Farmers Union company and ask for applications, These methods were suceess- ful as mav be judged from the fact that whon tho Nebraska state ofticials closed down upon the company the books of the concern showed that policies were outstanding to the amount of §5,000,000. The cash assests amounted to $106. Tho hundreds of dollars paid to the company in the way of premiums have dis- appeared, Today the insurance policies held by thousands of farmers of the state who wero irposed upon by the company are not worth the paper they nre written on. The company was some time ago notificd by Auditor Benton to mend its finanoial ways, but as it neglected to do so, the assistant attorney general was directed to take legal proceedings, Mr. Summers’ petition in the Hall county district court alleges that the compauy is insolvent and doing business in an unsafe manner and contrary to law. Tho sneriff of Hall county has been appointed as temporary receiver and the case will como up for tinal hearing on Januar; Omahn Cases in Supreme Court, Late yestorday afternoon a caso was filed with the clerk of the supreme court in which the citizens of Omaha are particularly inter- ested. Itis entitled the American Water Works company ugainst State ex rel. W. J. Walker. The case is founded upon a de- mand of the water company fora $l fee for baving turned off the water at Walkor's residence, 1812 Davenport streot, Omaha, because of nonpayment of rent. The rules of the company provide that in caso the rental is not pmd_semi-annually in advance, at tho end of thirty days after the semi- anonual charge begins running, the water shall be snut off. Walker was absent from home when the July 1 advance payment of §5.50 came due and neglected 1t after his return. On August 17 an employe of the company went to his premises to shut off the water. Mrs. Walker protested and offered to pay the rental due in advance, but he shut it off. Walker made repeated offers of the amount, but the company deciined to accept it unless he put upa fee of 31 for shut- ting off and turning on the water. This ho deciined to pay and wentinto court. The walter comoany set un the above facts as its justification, but Judge Irvine found that it did not constitute a defense and issued a writ of mandamus requiring the company to turn on the water and accept the §5.50. The case of the Bank of Commerce of Omaha vs Peter Goos, the well known hotel man of that city, also came up on error. In th o lower court’ Goos recovered judgment for 31,000 damages because the banlk had re- fused payment of a check for #8500 given to the city treasurer by Goos for taxes, which lod to his arrest and imprisonment upon the charge of having socured a tax receipt by false representations. (Goos claimed to have had #3,300 in the bank at the tine, but the bauk ofticials had charged up to that sum some 3,000 due from him on his note and re- fused payment for the alleged reason that he had not the funds in the bank. Edwin K. Overall files an appeal from the decree of the county district court in order- ing a foreclosuro of mortgage in favor of the Omaha Loan and Building association for something over $2,000. Saloonkeopers Found Guilty, Last evening Justice Foxworthy handed down his decision in the case of the State vs J. H. Saunders & Co. This is a case which has attracted considerable interest. Saun- ders is one of three saloonkenpers charged with selling liguor on the day of the special election creaung sanitary sewer districts. There were four counts in the information, and Saunders was convicted. His attorneys set up in defense that the creation of a sani- tarv sewer district was unconstitutional, and that therefore the special election was illegal. The cases against Tom Hood and Bud Lindsoy, sted on a similar informa- tion, will take place early next week. Nebraskn's Generosity, Governor Thayer today received a letter from C. A. Stonehill, the Omana merchant, enclosing §5, to be applied to the Russiun re- lief fund, with the request that the money bo used to purchase corn or whatever else he thinks best. Re- ports aro received by every mail from dif- ferent parts of the state guaranteeing corn and money. There is no question but that Nevraska will furnish a train load of cora that will require the united exertions of sev- eral mogul engines to draw it to the sea- board. It is a noticeable fact that some of the counties whici have oeen the first to re- port are the ones that required aid from the state last winter. Interstate Foot Ball League, Manager Chandler of the Nebraska uni- versity foot ball team returned today from Kansas City, where he nad been to attend the meeting of representatives of the west- ern universities for the purpose of organizing an interstate foot ball league.

Commissioner tions for the Guraxn IsLanp, obley Makes Sou Citles' Consideration, Neb., Doc. #0.—To the Iditor of Tar Be: The suggostion con- tained in an editorial appearing in Tur Bre of December 20 to the effect that Omaha should make an effort to supplement the N braska building fund and secure special quarters in the Nebraska state building to be used for the purpose of especially adver- tiflng the advantage of Omaha and Douglas county with a view to attracting new mdus- tries and additional capital, I consider both timely aud wise. It isa move which should be made without delay, and put before tho comuission at its nexi meoting, Jfanuary 19. 1 donot assume authority to speak for tho commission, as I have no such authority, but as an iudividual membor of the commission 1 should unhositatingly favor such a move, Ivis in direct lino with tho policy beiug pursued by Missours, which will provide special apartments in her state building for most of tne chiof cities of the state, which will result in groatly relioving the general apurtment Lbelieve it would be a good plan to oarry tho suggestion of Tie: Bre still further and ite all the leading cities of Nebraska ing to do so, lo supplemeut the Nebraska buildiog ~ fund, and to tho extent of the money just raised, provido special apartments o bo set aside for tho exclusive use of the locality thus con- tributing. In this way @ moro imposing structure could be orected, and more wnple headquarters accommodutions provided with- out any oxtra inroads upon the limited ap- propriation. These extra rooms could bo provided for at an expense not to exceed 10 cents per cubic foot of space in the room. Tor instauce, a city wishing a room say twenty feet squarc with twelve-foot ceiling would have to raise 150 to add to the build- ing fund, aod 1f sho wanted a larger or smaller room, then a proportionaately larger or smaller amount of money. I believo not ouly Omaha, but Lincoln, Beatrice, Grand Island, F'romoot, Hastiags, Kearney, Nebraska City and otbor points would be benefited by such an arrangement much more than the cost thereof, and 1 be- liove each of said localities wolld highty appreciato a room exclusively its own, whero the peopl : could find each othor, rest and feel at home, and plan to systematically set forth the special ndvaatagos of tho locality iu the most effective way, and I sincerely hope thav steps may bo taken to carry some such plan 1uto oxecution. 1t is both i £ood suggestion and a practical one, and I feol safe in guar- antoeing that should the commission act upon it Grand Island will bave a special hoad- quartors room for Hall county people.
