This much is certain, for the licenses bave been granted and there Is no telling how many more will be added to the list Harry Morrill, the marriage license clefk, is not a stickler for holiday vacations and his Cupid mill will grind as usual today, provided there is demand for it. Sixteen licenses were issued vesterday and two of the couples were married in the court house by Judge Vinsonhaler. The others said they would wait until today and take an even start with the first year of the new century. Yesterday's record Iacks but two of being the banner nuptial day of the year. The day before Thanks- giving was the record-breaker, eighteen lcenses being issued Judge Vinsonhaler evidently anticipated & matrimonial rush yesterday, for he came down early in the morning wearing a fresh shave, his brightest lavender tlo and his patent leathers, supplemental to his usual complement of other clothing. Having posted himself on all of the technique rela- tive to the dawning century the court con- gratulated the happy aspirants for matri- mony on their even start with the new cycle and there was an orange-blossom atmosphere about the place all day long.

TWENTIETH CENTURY 1S BORN New €yocle Masked by of Gunpowder and d Hurrahs. Aawning of Satarnal P The twentieth century is here. Tt was ushered in at midnight amid a saturnalia of gunpowder, clanging of bells, shrieking of whistles and the tumultuous hurrahs of young America—and some old ones, too. The strects were thronged with pedestrians untl after 12 o'clock and there was a gen- eral recognition of the fact that not only A new year, but a new century, was dawn- 10y, Inasmuch as the birth of centuries are witnessed only once in a lifetime every- body seemed to try to make the most of the occasion. In nearly all of the churches watch meetings were held, club rooms and lodges kept open house until early in the morning, residences were the scene of gay functions, all on account of the centen- nial epoch. The street cars worked nearly two hours overtime carrying belated revel- ers home, and thére was a great demand | for Jehus when at last the cars ceased running. It is bardly fair, however, to use the word ‘“revelers” in this connec- tlon, for many a stald old father and sev- eral demure matrons were among those who went home late. This New Year is a double holiday by reason of the century milestone and the day will be more generally observed than usual. Business will be practically sus- pended and turkey dinners will be as com- mon as they were on Christmas and Thanksgiving. Some of the pyrotechnic explosions last night made as much noise as the charge on San Juan hill and the patriotic spirit of America, which finds its favorite vent in gunpowder, was turned loose at full blast. Today there may be a few burned fingers and some bruised heads, but what matters those trifiing things when it fs remembered that a new century in swad- dling clothes has just been laid upon the doorstep of the old earth?

These little fifteen- minute services are beginning to be looked forward to by the girl PONTIFICAL MIDNIGHT MASS p Sea shers in New Year with Dignity, Solemnity and Grandeur, With all the dignity and grandeur of the Catholic church the twentieth century was ushered in with midoight mass at St Philomena's cathedral, with pontifical high mass celebrated by Bishop Scannell. The side altars were beautifully decorated with evergreen and bright candles shed thelr light over the statutes. In the cen- ter of the high altar was a blaze of light, a hundred candles uniting with the {llu- minated decorations arranged by the woman's sodality of the parish, amid the palms and cut flowers upon the altar, while above the star of Hethlehem shons resplendent. The Eplscopal throne was fittingly bedecked with evergreen. The music for the mass was the same as that glven at the last mass Christmas and was one of the most noteworthy efforts ot the chotr. Bishop Scannell was assisted by Very Rev. Willlam Kelley, assistant priest; Rev. P. McGovern and Rev. Father Kuhlmann, 8. J., deacons of honor; Rev. J. W. Stenson, deacon of the mass and master of cere- moutes; Rev. Father Dincen, sub-deacon of the mass. The bishop delivered a brief address to the congregation in which he called atten- tion to the infrequent ceremony of the midnight mass and stated that it was being celebrated in thanksgiving for the bless- ings of the old year, and as an appeal for the continuance of the favor of God. He called attention to the advance of Christ- fanity in the last century, from the early days of the nineteenth century, when the head of the church was a prisoner and the French revolution had denuded the houses of worship and made the priests exiles, un- til today, when in all lands the Catholle Is respected and if the rule of the church Is not universal its representatives are honored by people of all races and condi- tions. He deprecated the spirit of greed which has in & great measure captured the naticns of the world and said that the coming century would bring no blessing to man unless this spirit was suppressed. ELKS KEEP OPEN HOUSE Theatrical Men Contribute Their Tal- ents to an Evening of Fentivitiens, The Elks of Omaha kept open house last night. A large number of the members of Omaha lodge No. 39, with a few invited Buests, watched the old year out and the new year in to the accompaniment of a de- lightful informal program. The lodge rooms were thronged from early in the evening until_after midnight. At 10 o'clock Judge Lee Hstelle, officiating as presiding officer, called the meeting to order and the even- ing's program was inaugurated. Entertainment of a varied sort occupied the time for three hours. The contributions of a number of theatrical men from the three theaters assisted to a marked degree in the success of the affair. The musicians who took part in the program were Messrs. Gilroy, Kennedy, Marshall and Walter Dale, all of whom rendered songs, the accompani- ments in every case being furnished by Lew Dale, formerly of Omsha, who is visiting in the city from Louisville, George B. Frothingham of the Bostonians and George P. Cronk recited several entertaining selec- tions, NBW YEAR AT KOUNTZE M MORIAL, Twentieth Century Sermon by the stor. Members of Kountze Memorial church were entertained last night at a reception glven by the Young Peoules' Endeavor soclety During the early part of the evening the congregation was entertained at a musicale In the parlors of the church. At 11 o’clock @ prayer and song service began in the main auditorlum of the church and con- tinued until the new year was ushered in. Rev. Edward Frederick Trefz preached a brief sermon in which he reviewod the history of Christianity during the closing century and showed the great influence which the church has wielded, “The church must bo more influential than ever during the twentieth century. It has just begun to realizo Its power. It has been freed from many tenets, which Impeded its pro- gress and is about to enter upon an era of unparalleled “prosperity,” sald the pastor. “At this opening of a new year every churchman should pledge his efforts to the upbullding of Christianity. “What the church needs is members who lead a higher spiritual life. There should be more religlon in our everyday life. Men and women who belleve in Christ should follow His teachings in such a manner that the world way know of their faith. Tne church cannot be better than its members and Its power for good is dependent upon the individual conduet of its communicants, More thorough consecration is tho great need of the century. The musical program given early in the evening was under the direction of €. H. Seevers, president of the Young Peoples' Christian Endeavor soclety. Plano colos were glven by Miss Amanda Tebbins and Edward Droste. Mrs. John Nelson sang a solo and M. W. Swain delivered & brief ad- dross. Reception and WATCH THE FLEEING CENTURY, Bl borate New Year at Iy ¥ The new century was ushered in with appropriate ceremony at Holy Family church, Eighteenth and Nicholas streets, last night As early as 11 o'clock the parishioners began to gather in the dimly lighted church edifice and bent in sllent prayer until the bour of midnight was tolled end the watch service began. As the new year and the new century be- | Ban the lights in the church glowed in effulgence and the choir burst forth in melodious acclaim to the Father of all time delivered a profound sermon, in which he appealed to the chil- dren of earth to spread the golden rays of Christ over the incoming century in even greater glory than they had illumned the past. The service was altogether impres- slve and beautiful and bore the evidence of true Christian spirit. e — Prickly Ash Bitters cures the kidneys, Tegulates the liver and purifies the bowels A valuable system tonic e — TOO LAT ASMIFY containing LOST, alligator pockethook ‘small amoint of money and a ring Y Leave at Oftice, Council Bluffs, and recelve . e Lost—ver 3 ADRIFT ON THE COLD WORLD Douglas COounty Popocrats Leaving the Btate Houss Pie Counter. GENERAL EXODUS FROM THE CAPITAL Incoming Republican Administration Sepds the C y Howlers Look= ing for Grub Stakes—Personnel of the Local Comtingent. When the affairs of the great state of Nebraska are turned over to the repub- lican party today there will be many a patriot out of a job. Gentlemen of the popocratic faith who love to serve their state for a stipulated sum per year will bid tearful adieux to the soft spots they have been nursing for the last few years and return to their former haunts in quest of places or private payrolls At the capitol in Lincoln and at oth state institutions in other parts of Ne- braska there are at least a dozen com- fortable berths to be vacated by Douglas county patriots with the advent of the New Year. Faces that were familiar in | these parts untll a few years ago will again appear with more or less elongation on the busy streets of Omaha. Henry Blum, who tickled the keys of the typewriting machine in Frank Ransom's office for a living before he introduced the soles of his feet to the velvety carpet of the governor's rooms in the capitol, will be here again. Whether he will renow his relations with the writing machine or take potluck with the brokendown fusion machine has not been announced, but as Henry likes to be regular with his corned beet and cabbage, he will very likely cut out politics for the next few years and get down to real work again: Albert Sjoberg, who has been keeping books in the office of the commissioner of public lands and buildings, 1s evidently anxious to show his former nelghbors in Omaha that he is not afrald of work and 1s willing to stop and get acqualnted with it again, for he is going into the newspaper business. Sjoberg has bought a Swedish paper in Saunders county, will move its headquarters to Omaha and after his sev- eral years of ease in the state house he will dive into editorlal slavery. Dahlman Goes, Too. other James C. Dahlman, who has been in the secretary business on a blg scale while the “pops” reigned in Nebraska, will have to relinquish the secretaryship of the State Board of Transportation at the beginning of the new year. Whether his other secre- taryships, which relate to populist com- mittees, produce coin in suficlent quantity to continue him in a life of luxurious languor remains to be seen. Paul Pizey of the attorney general's office will cease finding pleasure and profit in smashing trusts and return to the peaceful paths of law practice in Douglas county. Henry Mathiesen, who has been hobnob- bing with men of finance as a clerk of the State Banking board, may have found the assoclation so congenial that he will under- take to continue it after coming back to Omaha. Henry may spend his future in the conception and execution of stupendous financial deals. David Rowden, who in days and nights ©of the past proudly walked the streets of Omaha in the uniform of a “copper,” will retire from his position as custodian—polite name for head janitor—ot the state house. It is not likely that Dave will return to the police force at once. Sidpey J. Kent will retire from the posi- tion of state labor commissioner and in all probabitity he will again take up the ardu- ous dutles of a labor agitator in Omaba. Agitating labor is seemingly a necessary factor in the progress of American politics and Mr. Kent has always beem found a willing subfect to its rule. John Brandt, who has been a temporary resident of Kearney while acting as book- keeper of the Industrial School for Boys, will come back to Douglas county and take the position of deputy county treasurer, to be vacated by George Anthes, who be- comes deputy state auditor under the new administration. Adam sloop, whose experlence as keeper of the slippery inmates of the county jail for Sherlff Drexel was considered by the popocrats as qualitylng him for keeper of the state fishery at South Bend, ob- serves the finish of his term of ofice and will return to Omaha und seek a place on the editorial staXf of the Quill. John Brennan, steward of the Industrial School for Girls at Genoa, will return to the qulet precinct of Clontarf and resume his business as a contractor. The Twentieth Century. We now stand at the threshold of the twentieth century, and the nineteenth is a thing of the past. It will, however, be known as the century of invention and dis- covery, and among some of the greatest of these, we can truthfully mention Hos- tetter's Stomach Bitters, the celebrated remedy for all ailments arising from a weak or disordered stomach, such as dys- pepsia, indigestion, flatulency, constipation and billousness. The meeting of the North Omaha Im- provement club last night was continued until 12 o'clock as a watch meeting and social, at which the members' wives and children joined In a musical program. The regular meeting was opened by Vice President Morrison, in the absence of Presi- dent Gratton. The only business transacted was the election of officers for the year 1901, which resulted as follows: Pre . John Morrison; vice president, Frank 8. Cannon: secretary, Edwin A. French; treasurer, J. Y. Cralg.

After Towa Clgarette Men, FORT DODGE, Ia., Dec. 81.—(Special Tel- egram.)—County Attorney Chantland today tssued notices to assessors of different town- ships in the county calling upon them to re- turn the names of all cigarette dealers in the county, In order that $300 assessments way be collected as provided by law. This action s directly traceable to the recent actlon of the American Tobacco company, as a result of the decision of the United States supreme court in Tennessee, where the cigarette law is practically identical with the lowa law, which worsted the dealers. The action of the county attorney created a great sensation among tobacco dealers in Polk county, the only county in Towa to wnticipate Webster (o this step. CAVALRY COMES HOME SOON Union Electric Construction Company of Des Moines Negotintes wit the Navy Department. DES MOINES, Special Tele- gram.)—Governor Shaw today received a telegram announcing that the Eleventh cavalry will soon be ordered home from the Philippines. This will be of special in- terest in lowa, as nearly all of the lowa boys who are in the cavalry service over there are in the Eleventh. The lowa boys who re-enlisted for service in the Philip- pines went into either Colonel Bell's regi- ment of infantry or into the Eleventh cavalry. They are all expected home by the close of the winter, as they will be among the very first to be returned to the states on the government transports. The Union Electric Construction company of this city is negotiating with the Navy department in Washing on for placing in the navy vards an electric system of tram- ways with a velw o demonstrating the economy and convenlence of that kind of systom over the use of steam. The com- pany claims to have the cheapest system, and one that overcomes all the objections wires for carrying electricity to the cavs It is likely the system will he installed in Washington, as an experiment in the navy yard there, New Insurance Company. Another has been added to the fnsurance companies with headquarters in Des Moines. The articles of incorporation were placed on file this morning for the Security Lite and Savings Insurance company, with $400,. 000 capital. This Is the company which is headed by State Auditor Merriam as presi- dent. The other incorporators are: N. Hodgson, vice president; C. H. Martin, treasurer; W. W. Woodard, secretary; W. H. Bailey, counsel; R. A. Patchen, medi- cal director; H. E. Teachout and George MacCartney. The state auditor, who has charge of the insurance business for the state, has been severely censured for as- soclating himself with an insurance com- pany, while still remaining in office, but he #ays he can see no impropriety in so doing In fact, a large number of the state ofi- cers of Towa have retired to become con- nected with the insurance business, and this has given rise to a feeling that they make use of their official positions to secure favored places or concesslons. The new company begins business with the New Year. Funeral of Prominent Men. The funeral of two prominent lowans took place today. The fumeral of the late Dr. A. Y. Hull of Kiowa, Kan., was held in this city this afternoon, the body having been brought here for burlal beside his wite, who died about elght years ago. The funeral of the late Prof. B. F. McClelland took place at Toledo, Ia. Prof. McCleland was vice president of Western college at Toledo, which position he had held for a number of years. Ho had been a teacher all his life, ckiefly in 1llinois, but since coming to lowa had taken high rank im coliege work. Will Chase, owner of the Des Moines base ball franchise, recently suffered a severe loss in the burning of the grandstamd and a good part of the bulldings used by him for base ball yurposes. The base ball park Is just back of the Auditorium and in the business part of the city. As other build- ings were endangered by the fire, an effort was made to have the Board of Public Works refuse to permit him to rebuild the stand. Today the city council met and dey. cided that it could not interfere with the work, as it was In the nature of repairs and is already well under way. It he coull not have built the grandstand his franchise would have been practically useless. Pocahontas Disgnrds Stage Conch. The town of Pocahentas, the last county. seat of Jowa to be connected with the out- #ide world by rail, has only the past week discarded stage coach mails and begun to receive the daily papers direct from the cars, But in makiog the change from stago coach to mail car the Postoffice de- partment got orders so mixed as to cause much unnoyance to the people for a few days. The contractor who had been carry- ing the mail across country from Havi lock, on the Northwetsern railroad, re- coived his orders to discontinue at a cer- in date, but the mafl clerks had not yet ieccived corresponding orders, so that the mall clerks insisted on putting the Pocas homtas mail off at Havelock. The postmis- tress at ‘Po ahontas had to hire the mall carried over for a week before the postal clerks got their orders and there was loud complainings. The mail is now carried to Pocahontas over the Rock Island Sibely ex- tension, anc the town of Pocahomtas, after an existence of nearly a third of a century, 1 In touch with the rest of the world. The authorities of the Iowa State college have had put to them a hard question by a farmer near Lake Mills, who has cap- tured a strange animal which he wishes the college scientists to name. The animal looks like half cat and half rabbit. The head and shoulders exa tly resemble a cat, but it has the loug hind legs and short cot- ton tall ou a jackrabbit and in travellng it takes the gait of a rabbit. The animal eats meat and drinks milk and also loves vege- tables and roots and corn.

TO HER NEBRASKA HOME Miss thel Paker, Des Molnes Stu- dent, is Taken by Her Parent, DES MOINES, Dec. 31.—(Special Tele- gram.)—) hel Fuller, a student of Drake university, was taken back to her home in Marion, Neb., this evening by her parents, She entered Highland Park col- lege last fall, but soon went over to Drake university. She developed a mania for giv- ing to all charitable causes and to friends, and spent most of her expense money in that way. Last week she left the Drake dormitory and went to a boarding house to live, Her parents were notified and her mother came here from Nebraska. She took the girl back to the university, but Satur- day she went away again and was found hid- ing in a barn near the boarding house she had chosen. As she was thinly clad she was suffering from the cold. Today her mother took her home. For the second time thieves have stolen from the large herds of cattle on the farm of ex-Governor Boles in Grundy county This time a fine herd of corn-fed steers ready for the market was taken. Once be fore when a similar theft occurred the gov ernor got his money on the caftle as they were s0ld in Chicago. At Mason City today the superintendent of the American Express company paid the First National bank $1,000, to reimburse the bank for a package stolen a few days ago.

C., acting commissioner of Indian affairs, notifying him of the approval of his bond for the position of superintendent of the Indian supply depot, which was re- cently added to Omaha's list of government institutions. Mr. Jordan, of course, had known of his appointment for several days, and the tele- gram of yesterday came simply us con firmation. The dispateh also ordered Mr Jordan to proceed to business at once, and within a very short while the Indian sup- ply depot will be in operation. The question of location has not yet been made public. Mr. Jordan said lust night “We will know positively today just where wo aro going to be located. There will be no further delay and as soon as the neces- sary prellminaries can be settled Omaha will be the supply point for the extensive Indian country which is tributary.” William O. Thomas, & Nebraskan who has recently been in Washington, s now on his way to Omaha, having been appointed clerk under Superintendent Jordan. R. C. Jordan is 42 years old and is a native of Massachusetts. Nige years ago he located fn Omaha and has been engaged in the commission business. Polltically he is a hard-working republican and has never omitted an opportunity for active cam- paigning. He was secretary of the repub lican county central committee during the last campaign and therefore shared in the glory of the great republican victery which swept over Nebraska. Mr. Jordan is per sonally popular and ho was busy last night receiving congratulations from his numer- ous friends. Among the positions of trust which Mr. Jordan has held prior to his present appointment was the presidency of the school board in 1898, he having been a member of the board two years before his promotion to the chair.
