s (CELEBRATE SILVER JUBILEE JFranolsean Poor Olares Obsorve Twenty- fifth Aoniversary of Order. /OMAHA ''MOTHER HOUSE” IN COUNTRY nt Creighton Wil Immediately Build New Convent on Prewent Site—ftrict Rule of Life for Members of Order. With the solemn rites of the Roman Catholie church the silver or twenty-fifth saniversary of the Franciscan Poor Clares was celebrated yesterday at the corner of Twonty-ninth and Hamilton streets. It Wwas not only the celebration of the silver Jubflee of the Omaha convent, but also of e ostablishment of the order in the United Btates. For this is the “‘mother house” of 'the order in this country and from it the ipther two houses, at New Orleans and Wvaasville, Ind., have been founded. With the celebration of a mass by Rev. Wather McCarthy, who was chaplain of the convent twenty-three years ago, the Jeelebration began today. After it a solemn high mass was chanted, Father Blackmore, |8 J., being welebrant, Fatner Rigge, 8. J., [doacon; Father Stritch, 8. J., sul on. (Rev. M. P. Dowling, 8. J., president of \Creighton university, preached an eloquent n on the aims and work of the order. f. John A. Bchenk presided at the organ 'mnd conducted the music. The little chapel was beautifully deco- ted with flowers for the occasion and ‘was filled to overflowing, & number of per- desiring to attend being on the porch fBna grounds outside. | After the masses, at which the priests N':hbnnn( them were, of couryp, obliged tast, & breakfast was served by the k‘lflan, thoso present, in addition to the priests named being Count John A. Crelgh- ton, John A, McShane, John A. Bohenk, '®. C. Heafy and J. J, O'Connor. Al dur- ing the day a large number of visitors, ally women friends, called to con- atulate the sisters, WI1Il Erect New Convent, | Ome particular point of fellcitation is that within a short time the sisters will, | through the beneficence of Count Creigh- | ton, have a new and enlarged home, with modern convenfences and bullt in modern \style. It was due to the generosity of ) Count Cretghton that the Franciecan Poor Clares ware able to establish themselves in thih country twenty-five years ago, as when the late Bighop O'Connor wished to invite | the order to Omaha Count Crelghton agreed | to bullt & suitable convent. This he did Ymmediately and since then has always | been the most constant and liberal friend |0t the sisters. Bince the streets around the convent wefe graded, the cut on Twenty-ninth street being thirty feet, the bullding has stood too high. A short time ®go Count Creighton informed the sisters that If they would secure a temporary home he would have the lots graded down and erect upgn them an entirely new | chapel, convent, stable, etc. The sistors expect to seoure temporary quarters within | & few weeks, and the plans for the new butldings are almost completed. Work on them will be started as soon as the present i wonvent is vacated. Poor Clares Well Known. [} l Though the smallest religious order in | mumerical strength in the United States, | the Frangiscan Poor Clares are well known | on account of the wtrictness of their rule of life. The order is divided into two classes, the “enclosed” and those who attend to the ;ne-ry outside work of the order, tran: t | the business of it both at the con- went and In tho city, The “enclosed” -sis- ters are under vows of perpetual silence and never to leave the convent enclosure, or comimunicete In any way with the out- wide world. They can be released from oné or more of these vows only under special efrcumstances, as, for example, the vow re- garding enclosure will be suspendod tho day the sisters move from the convent to their temporary home and again on the day they move back to the new convent. Under & literal interpretation of the rules the bodies of dead sistors should be burled within the convent walls and to carry this out plans for a number of burial vaults were drawn about a year ago. But nothing further was done in the matter and the plans for the new hulldings do not provide for any vaults. Only two members of the order have dled since it was established and they have been buried outside in Cath- olic cemeteries. o & Supplication. Unceasing and perpetual supplication te the Throne of Divine Grace In reparation of the sins of the world and for its progress in faith and morals is the principal work of the order. This prayer is kept up day and night before the blessed sacrament. In ad- dition to this purely spiritual work the sts- ters bake the eucharistic bread which is oconsecrated at every mass in the dlocese of Omaha and also furnish & number of churches In the dloceses of Lincoln and Davenport. They also make the vestments , and altar linen and their work In this line 18 much sought after by churches which can afford ft, it being of the finest quality, all handworked and different from that ob- tained at Catholic church supply houses, Visitors to the convent are notified by & small sign on the front deor to walk in, and on doing so find themselvey In a small hail and see another sign, “Please ring.” A moment after doing so they hear a knock, and & volce from behind a solld wooden lurning slide in the wall asks the business of the visitor.

James Walsh of Benson has just returned from an extensive trip through Washington and Oregon and is deeply impressed with the idea that while there are numerous natural and unnatural advantages to be had out thers, the man who owns soll in Nebraska would be unwise to let it go for a nome In the far west. Mr. Walsh gives an interesting sketch of his observations, and then concludes by advising Nebraskans to stay where they are. “The country west of the Cascade moun- tains s, from a climatic standpoint, very fine,” sald Mr. Walsh, “but from a farm- er's standpoint the country is not very al- luring, especially to one who s used to the rich, black, loamy soil of Nebraska and its boundless fertility. It fs disappointing to observe how the farming must necessarily be carried out in the sandy solls of Ore- gon and Washington. The best of farm- ing lands are held there at from $100 to $200 per acre, but I consider the Nebraska land held at $68 to §10 per acre far better and capable of ralsing far better and more varfed crops, and {8 then again nearer the great markets. Seventy-five percent of the eggs used in Portland, Ore., are shipped from Omaha, also a great deal of the pouitry.

There 18 little or no rainfall east Of the Cascades, “The farmer who owns his land in Ne- braska had better remain on it. Corn does not thrive there at all. Hence it s next to impossible to raise hogs, and so they must depend on Nebraska for ‘thelr supply of pork products. Their chief agri- cultural products are hay, wheat and oats and some alfalfa, ““The great products of the West Cascade soction are timber and the salmon fisheries. The magnificent forests of timber are being cut away. The frountry ls fairly teeming with sawmills. The government is now in- vestigating the fraudulent entries of tim- ber lands by the lumber syndicates, which may possibly result in curtalling the de- struction of the forests for a while, at least. However, there is one redeeming feature, and that is that the forests are reproducing themselves. But the timber destroyers are now getting into these young trees with wanton avarice and destroying millions of them, “There are some valley lands along the Columbla that produce a fine quality of fruft, and these lands are held at trom $100 to $300 per acre. “The salmon fisheries are doomed to de- struction unless some congressional action Is taken to prevent the avariclous destruc- tion of these magnificent fish. “The mining industries of Washington are growing in importance, Gold and silver are produced in abundance and some cop- per.

ALL STATE OFFICERS WILL BE PRESENT t of the Affair Will Be Held Out- side the Bullding, Streets Belng Fenced Oft for that Pur. pose, The Anclent Order of United Workmen lodges of South Omaha are planning for a big carnival and the dedication of the new Workmen temple Jjust completed at Twenty-fifth and M streets. This carnival is to be held during the week beginning Septomber 2. The dedicatory exercises will be held either on Monday or Tues- day of that week. Directors of the asso- clation held a meeting Friday night and appointed committees. All of the grand officers of the order In the state will be invited to attend the dedicatory exercises and Invitations will be extended to all of the lodges In the state. As for the carnival it is proposed to fense in Twenty-fifth street from L to M streets and hold a part of the carnival in the open alr. A committee composed of G. H. Brewer, B. B. Wilcox and D. J. Farrell was named by the directors to lay the matter before the council and request per- mission to fence in the portion of L street mentloned from curb to ocurb, the slde- walks to be left clear., Another committee is to look after attractions for this street falr, While no definite plans have been made 1t 1s proposed to have booths erected undet the bdlcony In the auditorfum where re- freshments will be served and articles offered for male. The floor of the audi- torflum can be used for dancing or for other purposes. A stage show of some kind also will be arranged for. Members of the Degree of Honor will have charge of the booths in the temple. South Omaha has three Anclent Order of United Workmen lodges with a mem- bership of about 1,400. Lodge No. 68 has 800 members; No. 227 has 40 members, while No. 32, the youngest in the city, has about 200 members. The Degree of Honor has a membership of a little over 500. Bince the new temple was opened It has been engaged eyery night in the week with the exception of Saturday. This hall now is the only suitable place In the heart of the city for the holding of public meetings or dances. The directors of the order will meet today to hold an informal conference regarding the proposed carnival. * Rallrond Avenue Paving. People living on Twenty-fourth street, south of Q street, and on Rallroad avenue, are groatly interested In the proposed pav- ing of this roadway. An ordinance for this work has passed its first reading in the city councll and is now in the hands of the street and alley committee. This com- mittee 18 composed of Welsh, Adkins and Queenan, and it Is hardly probable that a report will be made before Councilman ‘Welsh, who Is chairman of the committes, returns from the west. A great many peo- ple who are Interested In seeing a good road buflt to the county line are urging Mayor Koutsky to push tne matter as rap- 1dly as possible. The mayor is doing all he can to hurry matters along as the season for grading and paving Is get' ‘ng late. Per- haps it may be arranged to have the streets and alleys committee make a report at Monday night's meeting of the council In order to hasten the passage of the ordi- nance. When this is ddne tHe ordinance will have to he ndvertised and then con- tracts let fot the work. Thoso who are interested say that now the movement has been started it should be pushed through without delay in order to ¢ive a good rond into the city from- the south. Woman Reported Missing. Acting Chiet Elstelder has been notified that Mrs. Thomas W. Kelly, Twenty-sev- enth and Y streets, has been missing since Wednesday. Monday last Mr. Kelly left the house and has not returned. Wednes- day Mrs. Kelly locked the door and left and she has not been at home since. An officer opened the house yesterday afternoon and found everything In good order. It is thought that Mrs. Kelly merely took a lit- tle trip without first Informing her nelgh- bors. Arbitration Settles Differencens. Representatives of the packers and the local labor unions held several sessions last week for the purpose of talking over the advisabllity of a new scale for the beet boners and the canning room worke ers. A scale was submitted to the pack- ers by the unfons and the differences exis ing were settled by both sides making con- cessions. An advance in wages was granted the beef boners and the canning room workers. The revised schedules have been ratified and are now being printed. Ball Game Today. This afternoon at Jetter Park there will be & game of base ball between the Jet- ters and the Originals of the Tri-City league.

We shall insist however in our members wearing the biue button. That is our protection, while the cards were merely for the protection of the saloons that displayed them.

Loftman had signed an agreement with us to employ only union bartenders.
