Laxcory, Nob., Sept. 10,—[Special to Tue Bre.)—A wronged husband and an erring were reconciled in the police court this Nifternorn, and a caso which for a fow hours promised to end in a domestic tragedy was brought to a happy denouement, A young married woman named Mrs. Eva Martin was arrested at her boarding house at Twelfth and P streets last evening on the charge of adultery, the complaint being proferrea by her husband, the corespondout being Kd- ward Bancroft. Both of the men in the caso are farmors, Martiu living four miles st of Ceresco, in this county, and Bancroft pine miles east of the same pluce. Phe history of this particular piece of do- Mostic infelicity makes a somowhat length story, but it may bo condensed about as fol- Jows: Bancroft was always a frequent vis- itor at the Martin residence and the husband nover had cause for suspicion that all was not right. One day last spring Martin and his wife quarrelled over some trivial affair, mnd as & result he abused her and she left 4, \axing her 2-year-old child and going to Blinows., Nothing was heard from her for some time, but finally Martin’s brother dis- covered that sho had returned to Nebraska and wus living with Bancroft as his wife, The busband was at once informed of the state of affairs. Monday Bancroft and Mrs. Martin “came to Lincoln and engaged a yoom at & boardin® house at the corner of Twelfth and P streets. Martin, who was watchipg the movements of the pair, at once pwore out a warrany for their arrest and d it in the bands of an officer. The Woman was soon arrested ard taken to the station. An oficer was sent for Baneroft this morning and ho was brought 1o tho city noon. Hoth sides had secured attorneys and the case had been set for Monday, but lata this afterncon Martin and his truant wifg had a long futerview over the matter and as a result Martin withdrew the com- aint against Bancroft ana with his wife on arm left tho station. He bas promised to live with her agaiv and will treat her better in the future.

Never in the history of this noble institution have the ef- forts put forth seemed to accomplish tho do- sired purpose so fully as they aro at present, and the prospects for tue future of the as: sociation are indeed encouraging. Sioce the coming of Mr. Frank W. Ober last year and the beginming of his very ef- ficlent work as general secretary the associa- tion has taken on new lifo and has been reaching out after young men in @ way that means great good to the community, The central alm of toe assoclation is to’ benefit young men physically, mentally and morally, 1t is not & church—it is a place where the welfare of young men is made a specialty, During the summer just drawing to a close the gymuasium bas been greatly improved by the purchase of a large amount of new apparatus and by 8 general overhaulng. The instruction iu the gymoasium is under the able direction of Mr. Sheldon und great caro is takon to suiL the exercise Lo eachfin- dividual case. All who enter the gymnasium are required to pass u_physical examiuation, 80 that there way be no danger of injury from over-violent exercise for those who may be suffering from disease or physical woak- ness of any particular part. The gy muasium has been carefully examined by the buildlag inspector and is perfeotly safe and secura in overy detall, thus assuring all who take ex- se there that they will be iu no danger of dont caused by the breaking of the ap- paratus. Ono of the most lnteresting features con- nocted with the Young Meu's Christian asso- clation in Omaha 1s the Curreat Topie club, which was organized Jast yoar and proved to be & winulug card from the vory start. The club will begin the new year next Mouday vight and Dr. Duryea, the able and indefa- tigable leader, willdeliver an address upon the work of the coming winter, A very luteresting feature of the su mme months has heen the custom adopted] by & number of the young men, known as the Outing ciub, of making evening excursions 1o various pomts of intevest 1n and about the city, The smelter, the packing houses, Cut- Off lake and other potuts have been visitea. Next Thursday night the club will visit the ‘American water works plant at Florence. A fine foot ball team has been organized and the coming season of foot ball will bo made a hummer. The concert and lecture course for the coming winter is one of espe- cial merit ana deserves the patronage of tho public in general. None but the very best of musical organizations and orators will be presented, and 1t is confidently hoped that this will bo by far the most successful sea- son ever enjoyed by the eutertamnment de- partment of the association. The association Leld ' the annual reception to the public las Tuesday night and the suc- coss of the event was unparalleled in the bis- tory of the association. . The Beptist youug people are propariag for a gencral rally of religious interests in Omaha in October, whon the annual conven- tion of zll the Baptist societies of the state will be neld here. The convention will open on Octoher 24 and continue four days. The educatioual board, the women’s society of the church, the missionary societv and the young people's society will all have a part n the great gathering. There will probably be 1,000 delegates present. 1t will be Bap- tist week in Omaba, Dr. Hodgetts of the South Tenth Street Metbodist church males a specialty of se- leoting timely topics for his sermons. Ho will preach tonight on “Christian Champion- ships.” Takiog his bearings from the great furor that the Sullivan-Corbett fight created, he will proceed to draw some valuable lessons for thoughtful and relizious hoarers. The rovival services at the First Christian ohurch have been attended by good results auring the past week. The attendance has been large and the interest very encourag- ing. Mr. Boyer is an eloquent speaker and bas something now and interesting o present at each appearance. The singing1s espe cially good and adds a greatdeal to tho draxing power of the meetings. ¥. o convey the esteom and seutiment whioh was generally expressed by the happy con- gregation which gathered at the parlors of the Young Men’s instituto last Friday even- ing it is only necessary to say that a moro praiseworthy event has nover been held under the auspices of tho Young Men’s in- stitute, It was just like a genuine merry re- union, whero overy one accepted the coraial welcome accorded and manifested their de- light by losing their rostraint and going right in for_the appreciation of merriment. That the Young Men's institute soclables aro exceodingly popular is attested by the ever increasing attendance, and also the gon- uine cordiality extended them. The institute in genoral, by dint of perseverance and in- telligent tact, has progressed boyond the farthest expectations and 1s ablo to assume today the reputation that it is in ranking a most popular recrentivo rosort, It has do- voted itself to make entertainment of all kinds, nod it has succoeded admirably; the membership is ncreasing vory rapidly and an apparent prospect shows itsell of having 500 or more members in one or two moaths The institute is fully equipped with a ¢ vlote gymnasium, library and a pool table, All othiér entertaining mediums are enjoyed, Such as cards, dominoos, chockers, cribbage aua chess games, and extends a1 invitation to ull its friends to visit the rooms any ovening. e Have Walking Ahead of The) There is & lotof indignation that 1s oot tled uv out in the vicinity of Waloug Hill and it all comes on account of the gradiug of one street. The Omabu Stroet Railway company pro- poses to grado the strect over which it ha laid its track running to Clifton Hill, Po do this will necessitate the abandonment of the west end of the line for tue time baing. Iu this abandonment the people living out thut way see & grand opportunity to walk, us to completa the grade will require several weeks of time. - Cotton Trade Failures Loxbox, Sept. 10.—S ocotton trade are expected in the Preston dis- trict.

Roberson, manager of the mercanule agency of R. G.Dun & Co. “The last week and that preceding wore devoted to fairs and reunions, As a consequence orders in some lines of trade bave fallen off, while in others they have been slightly increased. In drugs, boots and shoes and heavy hardware trade is consider- ably slower on this account, though still good, and better than a year ago. ‘Tho effect upon retail trade has been perhaps still mo nouiceavle. The grocers wenerally agr that the past two weeks have been the dull- est for mouths, notwitnstanding the hom coming of most of the summer tourists, The dry goods people have cojoyed a botter trade than for weeks, due to the fall buying of customers who have just returned from theic outings. In the shoe trade, as might there has beeu spaeial activity 10 children’s goods, because of the opening of tho schools.

South Omaha’s School Fund Passed —Some Grading Matters. If the Board of tducation of South Omaba expects to build any new schoolhouses, or if iv expects to purchase any sehoolhouse sites, it will huve to provido its own funds, for tho county commissioners have refused 10 take hold and make the necessary lovy for this purpose. Tnis was sottled vesterday Upon afternoon when the board refused 1o levs £13,000, the proceeds to be turned over to South Omaha wien coliected, Last July, when the annual levy was me de, the commissioners failed to mulke this | levy for South Owmaha, bolding, upon the advice of the county attornoy, that South Omabia being a city of the second class it do- volyed upon tho eity 1o muke the levy for 1he pucchase of all sehothouse sites and for the construction of all buildings. The case was discussed pro and con and yesterday it was up again, but the county attorney told the members that the time for doing anvthing had passed and all of the papers were placed on tile, County Treasurer [roy informed the board that bo had ot had time to _ascertain just how much of the county road fund should go 10 the city of Omaha, but he thought 1t was safo to pay over $15,000, Tho paper was re- terred. By resolution the commissioners agreed to oxpend $2,000 in grading the intersections of South Thirteenth streot from Missouri avenue to the Sarpy county line, providing uth Omaha would grade the balance of street to the width of ninety fest and com- plote the work as egrly as July 1, 1503, No part of tho money is to ba paid until South Omaha has comploted its sharo of the work.
