SOCIETY
Over the Arrest of Major j. S. Newell
on n Serious Charge.

st, Joe Gazette, Jan. sth.
A special telegram from Omaha to The
st. Louis Globe Democrat of Sunday
says:
"Major Newell, for over two years
manager of the Consolidated Tank Line
c%ompany's Office in this city, was to-day
summarily discharged, owing to short
ages in his accounts. General Manager
Swain, of Kansas City, who has been ex-
aiming Newell's books, places the de-
felt at $4,000. Newell is a single man of
rather ext%ravagant habits, and it is sup
posed used the money in fast living. A
warrant has been issued for his arrest,
but has not been served yet, Swain hop
ing to be able to induce Newell's friends
to help him make restitution. The affair
causes n great scandal here, as the Of
fender moved in good society"
The gentleman referred to in this un-
pleasant connection is pretty well known
to the people of st. Joseph, as he resided
here for a couple of years and moved in
the best circles of society. He came to
diana, and for q time held the position of
bookkeeper at the starch factory. AS he
was q man of splendid education and pol
ished in his manners, he made many
friends, and when Company A of Light
Infantry was organized Major Newell
was chosen lieutenant. While employed
at the starch works the major lived in
grand style, and was known about the
city as a thoroughbred. Finally he lost
his position through. his love for drink.
and for a brief period thereafter remained
unemployed.
The majors next engagement was with
the insurance firm of Buckingham d
Hull. He filled the position of clerk for
them for a couple of years, and during
the time lived an exemplary life. While
thus employed Newell made the acquaints
ance of Mr.. Swain, of the Consolidated
Tank Oil company, and by that gentle
man was given a position in Kansas City
that paid him a salary of 500 per month.
1t is something owe two years since
Newell left st. Joseph, but he has Wis
tied here since that date.
With the Consolidated Tank Line Oil
company Newell soon became a favorite,
and after n short residence in Kansas
City was transferred to Omaha, where he
has since held a lucrative and RESPONSE.
BILE position with the company. 1t was
known that he wa leading o fast life,
but his honesty was not doubted, and
when he was discharged on Saturday last
it created no little surprise.
Those in st. Joseph who know Newell
best state that his people In Indiana are
highly respectable and wealthy, and the
belief is pretty generally expressed that
they will make good the shortage and No
prosecution will follow.

A Happy

While Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Rowley
were absent from their home on Mon
day evening, their house was invaded by
parties who, evidently had been watch
ing an opportunity to creep in and have
things their own way.
On their return they we're confronted
by about twenty-five members of Mr..
Rowley's bible class, who had gathered
for the purpose of o social entertainment,
which frequently happens with that class.
They filled the long hallway, standing
shoulder to shoulder like an army OF
veterans, indicative of their intuition to
slight the good fight of faith" After
congratulations the evening was very
pleasantly spent in social intercourse,
until in the midst of the joyousness there
was a sudden lull in the hum of voices,
when Miss Eta Bonner stepped forward,
and with a few well chosen and appro-
pirate words, in behalf of the class,
presented their teacher with a splendid
silver water pitcher and goblet, as a
token of love and esteem.
1t was a complete surprise, and for a
few moments Mr.. Rowley was unable to
find words even to express his thanks fol
so marked a token of their good will.
The occasion was one of great Joy to
all, and so closely united have the mem.
bers of this class and their teacher and
his wife become during the two years
since their organization that they re
solved, before parting, to visit theil
teacher in a body onee a month. The
class now embraces over forty members
composed of young people, and they or,
reaching out the hand of welcome II
other young men and ladies who ar,
strangers in the city.
