THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY. JANUARY 2 NEW YEAR COMES WITH CLEE Joyously Drives the Old Year Out and P.epares for Business. YOUNGSTER HAS MANY THINGS IN VIEW Outlines a Business Program and States a Few Thi Which He Comp g Conéerning exires More te Information. A very old man with a long white beard s chased out of Omaha at one minute past 2 o'clock yesterday morning by a very lyoung man with no beard at all. The for- mer was the year 1902 and the latter wag the year 1003 Nineteen very healthy cherub, as full of promise as a clrcus poster and as cordial as a candi- [ate. He brought with him a schedule of prospects printed In the superlative de- grée and Italic capital letters. Last night he gave out an intarview, in which he said “You may tell the folks for me that I am hereto do businees, and that I like the way things are opening up. When I got in this morning 1 found a lot of people sitting up for me, including some of the younger fry whose mothers, no doubt, were sitting up for them that started all kinds of racket. For a whilo I didn’t know but it was the Fourth of July, the Day of Judgment or the hour of the Auditorium’s completion “When I found out it was all for me I took right hold and helped out what I could. I went to a dozen watch partles on the highlands, the lowlands and the bad lands beforé morning. During the forenoon 1 grew religious and spent a while at the Episcopal churches. In the afternoon I curled with one club, shot with another, went to two shows and so many house tunctions I lost count. Thi recelved by the Young Women's Christian association, the Young Men's Christian as- ®octation and the Woman's Rellef corps. I danced with the hest looking girls at the High School Cadet officers’ ball at the Metropolitan club and slipped in for a few minutes at several house dances. Out for Business. “Certainly I started off with plenty of pleasure, but today I propose to settle down to business. There is much ahead of me. Just how much, heaven, the city council, the county commissioners, the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, the editors and the preachers only know 1 learned before I came that my predecessor did well, but it's part of my business to outdo him. In some ways he was a back number, with old-fashioned ideas, shall have to do a little ehaking up. ‘One of his mistakes was to mix up the weather the way he did. My, but it was a clumsy job! You observe that 1 start off with clear skies, clear air and decently warm. I may grow a little chilly later on, but I shall not keep it up longer than necessary, and what precipitation Is needad 1 shall precipitate in time for the farmers | to know what to do about the crops. What He W, “Reforms? Oh, 1 don't care to pledge myself until I can find out certain essen- tial things. Like everybody else, I would like to know what the deuce the Douglas county leglslative delegation proposes to do when it gets its seats. I would like to know what the council is golng to do to that canal franchise and what the public 1s going to do to the council. I would like to know what has convinced the county commissioners that the county should pay three men to do the work a private don- oern would pay two men to do. I would like to know how soon the rallroads of Nebraska are to be made to pay taxes as others do. I would like to know where the “Dally” World-Herald is printed. 1 would like to know the “home’ address of Pat- rick Crowe. I would Jike to know when th» Unlon Pacific machinists are to return to work. 1 would like to know what the Coal trust thinks of John Mitchell. (I al- ready know what the public thinks of the Coal trust.) I would like to know if Mar- conl will make good. I would like to know what additional resolutions we may expect from the Woman's club. 1 would like to know if soclety really means what it says. I would like to know how much longer the ping pongers will continue to ping. I would ltke to know if “Pa” Rourke is going to spend real money this year. 1 would like to know when the insurance compaules propose to tell the truth. I would like to know when all mankind pro- poses to tell the truth—but of gourse that i merely to satisfy speculative curlosity. It won't be in my time.” nts to Know. HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS AT A DANCE. Former Officers of the Cadét Corps Entertain at Metropolitan Club. The former officors of the Omaha High 8chool Cadets entertained at a dance last evening at the Metropolitan club building. This affalr w the ninth of the annual eadet dances. Originally it was given by the Cadet Officers’ club of the high school and easily took first place on the year's soclal calendar of the school. At that time it was made distinctly a military event; dress uniforms, stacked rifies and armed guards on patrol being made the order of the evening. The only hint of the military in last night's dance was two large Amer- fcan flags draped effectively in the hal way. . The change has been brought about by a recent order lssued at the high school which states that dancing is a pleasure not com- patible with good student life and not to be indulged in by the puplls of the Capitol hill inatitution. Tho cadet hop is the only so- clal aftair which has survived this order, and this is now being kept alive by the alumni of the schoo! battalion. The programs of last evening were hand- somely embossed and bearing in the center of the front cover ihe purple “C. 0, C." monogram of the old Cadet Officers’ club. Fully eighty couples enjcsed the twenty- four dances. The following committee is BROUGHT TO LIGHT There bave been many cases like the fol- lowing in Omaba. Every one relates the experience of people we know. These plain straightforward statements will do much toward relleving the suffering of thousands. Such testimony will be read with Interest by many people: Mr. John C. Hoefler, stockkeeper of the third floor in the McCord-Brady company's wholesale grocery, living at 2627 Charles Street, says: “/ had a weak back for nearly three years.

Great Throng Visits the ndsomely Decorated adquarter “A Happy New Year" was the sentiment that prevailed last night at the reception given annually on that occasion by the Young Men's Christian association. It was the greeting with which callers were met at the entrance; it breathed from the pro- tuse holiday decorations; It beamed in the happy faces of all encountered there, And they were legion, for fully 2,600 Omahans paid their respects during the evening. And yet there was mo insufferable crush. | The hours prescribed were from 7 o’clock j-m 10, and the spacious halls, parlors, re- tion rooms and auditorium proved ca- | pable of easily accommodating the throngs that flooded them. Of the many beauties of the reception | the decorations were the most conspicuous. | Roses, evergreens and holly were every- | where. From the street entrance up the stairs one wended his way through a verit- able greenery, and once within the recep- | tion halls the effect was heightened by the | protusion. Two large rooms, ordinarily known as the reading and recreation rooms. | were transtormed for the occasion into bowers bathed in brilllant light. In one | corner of the first room . “purch” wi served from behind dazsling candelabra, while beyond the innmer portals elaborate | refreshments were dispensed from tables, linen clad, candle lighted and flower bedecked. Music from & mandolin orchestra lent the last detail. To the left again in the parlor was the most unique feature of the affair. This | was a calendar exhibition. The walls of the room were completely covered on all sides with hundreds of calendars for 1903, gathered from all parts of the country, and the ensemble formed a striking sight and an Interesting study. Those who stood in the recelving line were the officers and directors of the asso- clation, as follows: 1. W. Carpenter, A. P, Tukey, J. A. Sunderland, Charles E. Morgan, J. H. Dumont, 8. P. Bostwick, W. 0. Henry, T. F. Sturgiss, George W. Sum- ner, H. L. Krelder, 8. W. Lindsay, J. M Gillan, G. F. Bidwell, William G. Smith, George F. Gllmore, B, F. Magaret, D. A. Foote, C. G. Wallace, Robert Dempster, W. P. Harford and W. T. Graham. Women whbo served were: Mesdames I. W. Carpenter, A. L. Patricki Warren Switzler, T. V. Moore, J. H. Dumont, J. R. Webster, Edson Rich, Willlam G. Smith, A, B. Somers and F. L. Willis. But there were other attractions. In the auditorium upstairs a musical program was given, commencing at § o'clock. This was in charge of Miss Corinne Paulson, and opened with a harp solo by Miss Swanson. Miss Paulson followed with the piano rendi- tion of Sinding's “Rustle of Spring.” Mrs. A. L. Sheetz sang *Ob, Dry Those Tears, by Teresa del Riego, and the last number before the intermission was a ‘‘Nonde- script,” by B. H. Packard. Later, Mr. Charles C. Gorst gave a whistling solo, Miss Paulson played Moskowskl's “Spanish | Caprice” and Mrs. Sheetz sang “In the Dark, in the Dew,” by Coombs. The pro- gram was keenly appreciated and overy number was encored, In the gymnastum! was a third phase ot the entertalnment. Large crowds thronged into the gallery and on the floor ftself to Wwitness the stunts done by the gymnasts and athletes. The first event was & basket ball game, in which the young men’s class team beat the business boys by 16 to 6. The next hour was devoted to gymnasium work, games and contests, such as high elephant, crab race, mat work, long dive, parallel bar work and an obstacle race. The performances of Roland Finney at hana balancing and of the Finney broihers, Herley and Jennings, at tumbling were especlally remarkable, Then followed another basket ball game, in which the business men defeated the professional men by 14 to 8, amid much enthusiasm. A relay sack race, which the high achool boys won from the night class team, a high jump from springboard event and a tug-of-war concluded the gymnasium program. RECEPTION IS A BIG SUCCESS. Young Women's Chiriatian Association Recelves Friends, Never since its establishment in Omaha has the Young Women’s Christian assoct tlon played so ccuspleuous a part socially last evening, when its rooms on the third floor of the Paxton block were thrown open for its annual New Year's reception. The recent effort of the assoclation to se- cure a new bullding has brought to its aid the attention of some of women of the city, who have not only given their financial support, but are extending their social influence in its behalf as well, and the success of last evening's reception was due in no small measure to their pres- ence and help. The invitation was general and the hours o'clock the following program was pre- sented in the audience room, which was prettily frimmed with greens and shaded with red: “There, Little Girl, Don't Cry"...Young Women's Christian Association Quartet Vocal Solo . 2 F. H. Resler Reading . 1. Kennedy Harp Solo .. . Miss Swanson Vocal Solo Miss Helen Houglarid Every seat was filled during the program and at its contlusion the guests scattored through the parlor and rest rooms and over across the hall, where the afficers of the as- sociation received and the three hand- comely trimmed refreshment tables were arranged. In the receiving line were: Mrs. W. P. Harford, president; Mrs. George Til- den, vice ‘president; Mrs. 8. R. Towne, Mrs. E. G. McGillon and Mrs. Emma F. Byers, the general secretary. Through the and red crepe ribbons werc caught back with huge red bows or bunches of holly, while evergreen branches were held In place ob the walls and about the doorways with with red shaded candelabra, red satin sash bows and red confections, and presiding at them were Mrs F.

A string orchestra played in the dining room between 6 and % o'clock, while re- freshments were being served and the re- ception was in progress, and during the evening between 500 and 600 people were re- celved. W. R, C. The members of Woman's Rellef corps No, 88 gave a reception, with substantial refreshments, last night In Idlewild ball, 2307 North Twenty-fourth street, to the members of George Crook post, Grand Army of the Republic. About fifty of the old sol- diers entered the hall between the hours of § and 11 o'clock and passed a pleasant evening, yarning about the military times, playing cards, listening to music and sing- ing the old songs. Alfred, Willie and Editi Morris were much applauded for their work on violin and piano.

BAXTER AND ESTELLE MAY BE RIVALS Withdraw from Conference for Pr vate Talk, Thought to Be Over In- cambency of Criminal Bench— Term Dates Announced. The continued absence of Judge Jacob Fawcett, who has been away from his bench during the entire October term of court, but who was relied upon to be here before this date, resulted yesterday in a postponement of the assignment of the dockets of the seven judges of the Fourth judiclal district for the year 1903. Incl- dentally, it developed what some have taken to be a rivalry between Judges Bax- ter and Estelle for the criminal docket and its prestige. The meeting held the judges behind closed doors for nearly two hours and resulted only in the determination of the term dates, the adoption of an addi- tional rule of practice and the announce- ment that the assigning of the dockets will not be done untll Judge Fawcett can be communicated with at his Oregon quar- ters and his preference learned. elle Heart-to-Heart. The meeting was in the office of Judge Baxter back of the criminal court room, with Judges Irving F. Baxter, W. W. Sla- baugh, Lee S. Estelle, Guy R. C. Read, George A. Day and Charles T. Dickinson present. After the session had been on about forty-five minutes Judge Baxter and Estelle emerged from the conference room and went into a side apartment, where they were in earnest conversation for sev- eral minutes. It was known last year that Judge Estelle desired the criminal docket, but this year he had taken an attitude of indifference, whereas Judge Baxter was considered epenly receptive of the com- pliment of a second term. What passed between the two yesterday morning is not known, but it is believed that no agree- ment was reached and that they returaed to the conference room as far apart as ever. To Avold a Poasible Deadloek. Each has his friends and as the even number of judges present would make it possible for a deadlock in the balloting, it 18 assumed they decided to leave the matter until Judge Fawcett's preference can be ascertained, and then hold a second meet- ing, probably tomorrow, at which one or the other wquld seem certain of a majority. When the ‘conference ended it was given out that Judge Dickinson s to communi- cate with Judge Fawcett by telegraph and that until an answer is recefved the dockets will not be assigned. When the judges had told this much they closed up like clams and all sidled for the door, except Judge Baxter, who, as secretary of the meeting, had to remain and give out the report of the routine proceedings. Term Dates, ries and a New Rul Baxter and Terms of court in the various countie: it was decided, shall open as follows: Doug las, February 2, May 4, October §; Burt, March 2 and October 19; Washington, March 16 and November 9; Sarpy, March 23 and September 14. The equity judges, Read, Day and Dickinson, are to take the outside counties of the district, as here- tofore. The deputy county attorneys were al- lowed salaries of $100 per month, which also Is a following of precedent. The old rules of practice stdnd with the addition of one to the effect that no ad- ditional parties, plaintiff or defendant, shall be allowed to be added to a sult after such suit has been ~ommenced without first obtaining leave of court so to do. This rule is occasioned by the habit some of the lawyers have acquired of adding names after the original filing. Such offenses have been particularly numercus in the city tax cases and result in confusing the indexing of the records. Only last week Judge Read issued the twenty-fifth decree in a case in which only five parties were named originally. Attorneys have taken the course they have in order to avold the parment of a small filing fee, but this triv- fal economy might result seriously in later years, the judges say. DEATH RECORD.

Members of the | DUNN AND HIS COMPLAINTS Wil Take Up Special Meeting Today. the When the Board of Fire and Police Com- mirsioners met yesterday afterncon it was found that there were two obstacies to the transaction of business. That time had beon set for the hearing of evidence the protests of I. J. Dunn against the fssuance of certain licenses, about seventy- one In number, but when Mr. Dunn was called upon to proceed with his cases it was found that he was not ready. He explained that he had not learned wuntil about 5:30 Wednesday evening of the hear- ing belng set for this day and therefore had not been able to have subpoenas served upon h's witnesses. Commissioner Spratlen was disposed to question Mr. Dunn’s good faith in this pro- ceeding, from the fact that he had not filed his protests until the last day of the year, and Mr. Dunn sald that the law permitted that he should file the protests at any time before the granting of the licenses. Mr. Spratien inquired when Mr. Dunn first made up his mind to file the protests, and he replied that he had decided to file some of them as early as last July. The board agreed that he could not have been ox- pected to file his protests before the ap- plications had been presented, but both Commissioners Spratlen and Wright felt that he had been a little late In his action. The board reminded Mr. Dunn that while there was no disposition to treat him dis- courteously, the applicants also wers en- titled to some consideration, and it was desirable for many reasons that this mat- ter ehould be ¢isposed of with all possible promptne After some further discus- sion it was agreed that the hearing should be continued untll today at 3 p. m. and that the case of Willlam Buthorn, pro- prietor of the Schlitz hotel, should be taken up first, and then the Krug, Metz and Storz cases in the order named. Among those who are interested in these cases and conversant with the situation there fs much epeculation as to what sort of ovidence Mr. Dunn will present In sup~ port of his charges, as it s stated that among the places included in his complaints alleging violation of the Sunday closing law and the ordinance in regard to closing at midnight are several locations which are intended for entirely new saloons. It is sald that among the Krug applications, against which he has protested on the grounds stated, is one for a saloon in a building where there has not been a saloon before in eight years, and that at least one of the Metz applications included in his 1st is for a new saloon. Announcements of the Theaters. Two audiences that measured the capaclty of the cozy theater attended the Orpheum yesterday. Both were enthusiastic, seem- ingly imbued with the spirlt of a happy New Year's day, and if the old axiom of the | conduct of the Iniative day of the year | being standard for the ensuing 364 days Is | true, then the Orpheum s in for a tre- | mendous run. The performers were also at their best and worked with a snap and vim. All day yesterday the long line continued | at the speclal box office provided by Man- ager Burgess for the accommodation of pa- trons of Boyd's theater next week, when the big epectacular performance of “Ben Hur" will be presented. The regular holi- day sale and the advance for “The Burgo- master,” the latter part of this week, was | conducted at the box office on the right of the lobby and the ome at the left is for “Ben Hur” patrons exclusively. The sale 1s | said to Indicate that Klaw & Erlanger's stupendous pfoduction will have a most successful week hdté. The performance on Monday evening #id throughout the week will begin promptly at 8 o'clock and pa- trons are réquested to be in thelr seat punctually at that hour. Many good seats remain for each performance, ranging from 50 cents to §2 in price. The ever popular “The Burgomaster’ will be seen at the Boyd tonight for an en- gement that will Include tomorrow's matinee and night. “The Burgomaster” | needs no introduction to Omaha theater- | goers and will doubtless repeat the success | it achieved on its previous visits here, It is claimed that the comedy is even better | than ever before. The costuming is en- tirely new this season, as are the scenic dress and stage adjuncts. Gus Weinberg, who created the role of the burgomaster in Chicago when the plece was originally produced, will be seen In that role. Patrons will have an oppor. tunity of seelug the difference between him and those who followed his creation. Miss Ruth White will be seen in the leading temale role.

The New Year's celebration of J. B. Bull- mer became soured for some reason at about 8 o'clock last evening and he began to break up the furniture in his house at 2406 Bouth Tenth street with a bludgeon. He furthermore finished breaking it up. Then he smashed out the windows and chased people whom he happened to meet Mr. McCumber, for whom Bullmer is city salesman, lives in the same house with him. Builmer threatened to kill Mrs. Mec- Cumber and her daughter and McCumber stood him off with a revolver. Emergency Officer Baldwin brought the disturber of the peace to the city jall.
