OMAHA'S GOLDEN JUBILEE Pirst Btep Taken in Direction of Its Prope Oelebration. OLD SETTLERS HOLD LIVELY MEETING Yore Than One Hundred Answer Dr, Miller's Invitation and & Executive Committee Named to Control. i Over 100 representative old settler= of the elty of Omaha were guests of Dr. George L. Miller at his home Saturday evening, renewing old acquaintances and associa- tions with the object of bringing into exist- ence what was to be known as the “Old Bettlers’ club.” Dr. Miller, however, after maming Judge George B. Lake as chairman of the meeting, made an introductory ad- dress, In which he stated that after In- ‘quiring of a number of the persons inter- ested that the organization of such a club was unnecessary, but it had been suggested that the gathering continue to meet In a soclal way from time to time at the homes ©of the different parties, such meetings to be held once a week, instead of monthly, s Bad been contemplated. After deliberating quite a time, it was suggested by Edward Rosewater that, next year being the semi- centennial of the state of Nebraska, it would be a feasible plan to perfect an or- #anization for the proper celebration of this avent and have an executive committee @ppointed to take the matter in hand and arrange the preliminary details. This suggestion was heartily endorsed by Jd. M. Woolworth and General Charles F. Manderson, who made short addresses and Judge Lake then appointed the following representative men as the committee: Dr. George L. Miller, chairman; E. Rosewater, J. 1 .Redick, James M. Woolworth, C. F. Manderson, J. N. H. Patrick, H. W. Yates, James E. Boyd, B. B. Kennedy, Guy C. Barton, G. W, Doane and St. A. D. Bal combe. The committee is vested with power to select subcommittees and report @ction at the next meeting of the organiza- tion, which will be held at the call of the ehairman, Genesis of the Movement. Bometime over a month ago Miss Gilmore ©f this city and her sister, Mrs. Huft of Chicago were the guests of Judge Doane &t his home. They being old residents of the city, the judge Invited a few of the early sottlers to his home and the evening was spent talking of the anclent days of Omaha. Dr. Miller was highly enthused over the meeting, and it was at his sug- gestion that the meeting was held at his home last evening. In the meantime, Mr. Rosewnter was aproached on the subject and he suggested that as next year 18 the semi-centennial of the state it would be a wise plan to defer action in the direc- tlon of forming the settlers’ club, and pre- pare for the proper celebration of the golden jubliee of Nebraska. Thus was the nucleus formed which will culminate in a big event for the coming year. In his address Mr. Rosewater said: “Al- though I was not a resident of this city when it was staked out, I have been here for the past forty years. A community like Omaha cannot afford to let an opportunity lke this siip by, It being the occasion of the ®olden jubllee of the state. It is not known the exact date on which the first white mettlers arrived here, but by act of congress Nebraska became a territory on May 30, 1864, and on October 6 of the same year Mr. Burt, who had been appointed governor, erossed the Missourl river and settled on this side. The city of Omaha proper was staked out by the late A. D. Jones and it s about May 30 that the celebration should take place. It may probably be held at the eapital, but ought to be held here. How. @ver, this Is 'a matter t! the State His- torioal moclety will decid Segpe of the Celeb ». oyt the plan of the celgbration My, rater continued: ““The state set- of 187 ought to have the preference, then would follow the Inviting of the fra- ternal orders; first, the Masonic, which I belleve organized thelr first lodge in the Mtate at Bellevue. After them would come the clvic socleties and then the Ak-Sar-Ben would take the matter up and Instead of having floats emblematic of the poets, we might use floats of a memorial nature, on which could be portrayed the old log cabin, the stage coach and the Canestoga wagon. A coliection of the mementoes and histori- oal papers should be made which could be preserved in our libraries for the future enerations. “‘My first recollection of Omaha was when it_had a population of about 4,000 peopls, and I have watched It grow constantly until the present time, when we can num- ‘ber almost 130,00 population, 1f we include Bouth Omaha, which 1s adjacent to our ecity. It is therefore expedient that we have an executive committee appointed to take the matter in charge.” General Manderson followed Mr. Rose- ‘water, saying: “If we make,thls a state celebration the money should be appropri- ated by the legislature and as this is not & time when that body is In session we can hardly rely upon that source. The State Historical soclety has not the funds sufficlent to carry out the plans and, In my judgment, the celebration should be confined to the towns alony; the river. The only really old town In what may be called out the state is Columbus and it Is doubt- ful if we would draw many participants In the celebration from places other than those along the river.” Charter Members of Organisation, A list of the persons who were present and were drafted as charter members of the organization follows: Mr. and l(rl J N.

OUT TO MAKE CLEAN FIGHT Judge Barnes Decries Unfalr Cam- Sixth Ward, The Sixth and Eighth ward republicans opened a fresh case of enthusiasm Saturday night in Idlewild hall, Twenty-fourth and Grant streets, and each speaker in turn was recefved with manifestations of ap- proval by the large audience and was Te- warded by hearty applause at every point made in favor of republican candidates. Judge Barnes began his talk by saying that It was not proper for one running for a high judicial position to talk on par- tisan politics and that he was present merely to get acquainted. “When the supreme court created the judiclal commission,” sald the judge, “there were on flle 1,900 cases for hearing before the supreme court. There are now only 300, and in April, when six of the judges will conclude their services, the slate will be cleaned up and a man can get a hearing In the supreme court inside of six months. This is what the commis- sion has done. I have been an avowed candidate for the supreme judgeship, and since I have been on the commission my work has been subjected to the white light of publie scrutiny. So I now feel gratified at the nomination and feel competent to perform the duties of the office if elected. It has twice been said publicly in the commission that I was eminently fitted for this position. 'An old acquaintance I met on the street the other day sald that the party had not been so united for thirty years. I have always sald that if the republicans in this county were united they would be an frre- sistible power In state politics. “I will say of my opponent, that he is a £00d man and if T can't defeat him without lampooning him and making him ridiculous before the public, God knows I don't want the electfon. But I think it Is time we did away with the fusion majority on the su- preme bench. It has been clalmed against me that T am dominated by the corpora- tions. Let me say right here and now that this is absolutely false. I was never on the payroll of any company. It is true that I have tried many cases for the rail- roads, but only in this way, that I was hired by their attorney, and that when the case was completed I handed in my bill to him, the same as to any other client. T don't say this as an apology. It I didn’'t feel that T have the strength and manhood to decide cases against a cor- poration on thelr merits, I would not be here asking you for your suffrages.” J. B. Van Gllder made a rousing speech. In regard to the trusts he sald: “It is true the trust question is heard of now and then, but it is also true that there is a trust question in every pros. perous country. There has been now a shrinkage of millions of dollars in trust capital lately, but this 1s because they were overcapitalized. There Is room for trusts doing honest business. All that is necessary to do with the trusts is to let them take care of themselyes, and if they are doing an honest businesé they will succeed, and If they are overcapitalized they will go to pleces as hundreds have, The republican party s the best fitted to deal with the trust question." Others who spoke were: W. G. Sears of Tekamah, Jacob Kaley, Charles Unitt, P. E. Edquist, Judge D. M. Vinsonhaler, W. W. Bingham, W. Altstadt, W. A. Eastman, F. W. McGinnis, Joseph Marrow and Jack Kenworthy. ‘The republicans have planned to hold a rousing meeting at Elkhorn Tuesday night. Postmaster Witte will preside and E. J. Cornish, J. H. Van Dusen and T. A, Hollls- ter are billed for the speakers. LOCATES MRS. A. E. BELL HERE Postofice Inspector Declares Wife of Forger is Now in Omaha. Postoffice Inspector J. Donald Binclair declared yesterday afternoon that he had positively located Mrs, Bell, wife of Albert E. Bell, the alleged forger and mail pouch thief, In Omaha, and was haying her every movement carefully guarded. He and other federal authorities lelleve that by shadow- ing Mrs. Bell some clue will be obtained to the whereabouts of Yer husband. Bell, it will be recalled, escaped from United States Marshalls E. H. Davis and Alvah Baker near Philadelphla a few days ago. Some officials held to the theory that Sirs. Bell had gone with her husband to Chicago, but it now develops, so the offi- clals contend, that she has never been out of Omaha since coming here after her re- lease at Denver some time ago.

FINDS BUT ONE CRITIC IN HIS SEARCH Says He Fas Sccured Best Legal Ad- vice and is Assured that Cause Must Prompt Removals— gle City Go In regard to criticisms about his stand in the matter of the Nolan nonpolitical reso- lution passed by the fire and police board Thursday night, Chalrman Vansant has this to say: “I have talked with a number of voters, both republicans and democrats, and never found but ohe man who found any fault with my action and this man is the known tool of Tommy Nolan. As far as there being a lot of strange faces in the fire and police departments for violating the Nolan resolution, I will say that if the board sees fit to make a lot of strange faces those who vote for such action will have to be financially responsible for it. I have secured the best legal advice and have been assured that no’policeman or fireman can be removed from his position without cause. This being a free country, any man has a right to exercise his own mind and judgment when oft duty. Fur- ther, in case the board discharges any man in its employ for vioiating the Nolan reso- lution I am given to understand by at- torneys that such adlscharged employe can recover from the board individually and also from the city. As for the charge that 1 acted like a rchoolboy in countermand- ing that portion of the resolution which related to the actions of men when off duty, T will say that no sne but & achool- boy would ever have introduced such a resolution." All policemen have been instructed to keep out of politics when on duty, but when off duty to do as they pleased. The firemen have, however, been instructed to obey the resolution until Chief Garrett re- turns to the city. Sanday Club Organised. Secretary Marsh of the Young Men's Christlan association has organized a Sun- day club. Commencing on November 1 this club will meet at the assocliation rooms every Bunday afternoon, the hours of meet- ing being from 3 to 5 o'clock. The intcn- tion of the secretary is to make a rad.cal change in the style of the usual Sunday afternoon meetings. He has in view a pro- gram which will cover the winter months and hopes by this step to interest the mem- bers In attending the club Bunday after- noons. Soaping Windows. Saturday afternoon Acting Chief Els- felder of the police department issued or- ders to the men under him to arrest all boys caught soaping the windows of busi- ness places. About once a year boys take it into their heads that it is smart to ob- tain a bar of soap and mark up windows. The acting chief says that this practice must be stopped and that all youngsters found violating his order will be arrested and prosecuted under the nulsance ordi- nance. Examination of Taggers. An examination for the promotion of tag- gers to the position of stock examiners was held this week at the bureau of animal industry. John McEann, Tom Leddy, George Schroder Alonzo Helvey and Reuben Forbes took the examination. They were examined by Colonel 8. R. Burch, chiet clerk in the Department of Agriculture, and Dr. Hickman of the same department. Dr. Cooper, an inspector, received a promotion in the nature of an increased salary and Chief Inspector Ayer has also had $200 per annum added to his income. Meeting of Congregation. Monday evening there is to be a meeting of the congrggation of the First Presby- terlan church for the purpose of consider- ing & number of questions of importance. One of the questions s whether the church shall expend $2,200 for a basement addition and fixtures where the church now stands or whether the church shall be moved to some other site. Every member of the church and congregation is invited to at- tend this meeting. Ne Tro H . Stephen Vall, second vice president of the Packing Trades council, said last night that the sausagemakers in South Omaha had not made a demand for a change In the present scale of wages. He stated that all he knew about the strike of sausagemakers in Chicago was what he had read in the newspapers. The trouble there, Mr. Vall sald, was over the arrangement of the re- vised scale. It is expected that the local labor unfons here will recelve advices from Chicago today in regard to the strike there. Magie City Gossip. P. J.
