professors of Doane college at Crete, was in
the city yesterday on business connected

He has been with Doane college for the past

president of Obernn college and his late
father was a professor in the same i~nstitu-
tion.
Prot. Fairchild reports the school in n
highly prosperous condition. The sum of

Suspected of Forgery.

The police have had a warrant for the ar
rest of Harry A. Russell since the 23d day
of last December, but were unable to locate
him until last evening, when Detective
Thomas found him over in what is known as
mo Mans Land" in Omaha. He was ar
rested and locked up. The charge is left
blank on the book.
The story is that in December Russell
rendered a check to Charley Curtis to pay a
bill. The amount called for in the check
was largely in excess of what he owed. Cur
tbs. however, took the check and gave Rus,
sell the difference in cash. The check turned
out to be a forged one and was not honored.
Russell now says that he found the check.
When the officer placed Russell under arrest
he was very much worried. The two had to
wait in a saloon for a car, and while wait,
ing Russell drew some letters and papers
from his pockets and destroyed them. The
contents can only be guessed at, but the

The mission Sunday school at Twelfth and
Dominion streets celebrated Washington's
birthday by a little entertainment at the
mission. The school is under the charge Of
Mr.. b. b. Corliss, who is heart and soul
devoted to his work, and with a kindly and
winning personality.
The children of the school seem to be Of
all nations and tongues. Little Bohemians
hand in hand with pink-cheeked Swedish
and Norwegian children, wheeled and
marched and circled under the floating flags.
There were Russian and German and Polish
children there. too. with occasionally a pale
little American, but the latter were greatly
in the minority. 1t was a pretty sight to
see them salute the flag, lifting their eyes
reverently and holding their little hands on
level with their foreheads in military salute,
with all their young voices ~pledging al
legiance to their adopted country.
There was a great deal of singing In pretty
childish treble, and then Miss Lizzie Koss
sang the star Spangled Banner in a man
ner that won from the audience many warm
plaudits and a bunch of roses.
The young ladies who assist Mr.. Corliss
in his mission work are: Miss Annie Nell
sen, Miss Minnie Davis of the CASTELAR,
kindergarten and Miss Nellie Taylre.
The membership of the school is about
seventy-five, and Sunday after Sunday these
devoted young people meet in their little,
rude mission room and do such hearty and
loving work for the master as many a
church might be proud of.
Verify they have their reward in the
love and loyalty of their little flock and the

Is After the Road Fund.

]. p. Owen, a grading contractor, has filed
a suit asking the court to decree that he
be put in possession of $S44.70 out of the
road fund in the possession of the city of
South Omaha. AS a reason therefor he
alleges that he contracted to do certain
grading for the city on the 9th day of Au-
gust, 1892, and that as the city had no money
to pay for the same he advanced the sum
of $5l2, Thomas Hector advanced $167. "a

his money back and in addition thereto he
alleges that he is the owner of the other
two claims. Against this amount he is
willing to allow the city the sum of $140. go
which he admits has been paid. He al
leges that there is an uneXpended balance

IN THE DISTRICT COURT.
Interesting License Question in Controversy
Found Guilty of Burglary.

Found Guilty of Burglary.
A case of some Importance to the city was
argued on demurrer in Judge Scott's court
yesterday afternoon. 1t is the case of the
state against Haight, appealed from the
police court. Haight is the agent Of a head
ache cure manufactured in Massachusetts
and was engaged in peddling samples of his
rested and fined $40 and costs in police court
under the ordinance providing for a license
of $500 on all nonresident peddlers. He ap-
pealed the case to the district court and it
came up yesterday on a demurrer to the suf-
ficiency of the information. The defense
claimed the ordinance was void and in this
of the grounds was that the right to
impose an occupation tax did not include
the right to enforce it by criminal processes,
but that the city must recover under it in a
civil action the same as in the collection of
any other tax. One of the other grounds
was that the section of the charter on which
the ordinance was based gave the mayor and
the city council the right to levy the tax for
certain purposes which were enumerated,
but that power was specific and did not in
clude the right to levy the tax for purposes
not enumerated. These two positions were
held by the court to be well taken, and the
demurrer was sustained. One other point
was raised but not passed upon, that the
ordinance was in restraint of interstate
trade and was purely within the jurisdiction
of congress. Judge Scott will file a writ,
ten opinion in the case some time next week,
and at that time promises to pass upon the
third point raised in the demurrer.

REPLEVINED THE RING.
Romantic story of Two Lovers and IA Chat
tel Mortgage shark.

Thomas H.. Wilhelm has brought suit in
Justice Smiths court to replevin a diamond
ring which was deposited with the Omaha
Mortgage Loan company some time ago aa
security for a loan. The ring was the prop
erty of a highly respected young lady, to
whom he was engaged to be married, and
to whom he had presented the jewel as a
token of their betrothal.
The young woman in question is the main
support of her aged parents, and during a
temporary financial embarrassment left the
ring with the loan company as security for
a loan with which to pay the premium on
her fathers life insurance. Before she could
repay the loan and regain possession of the
ring Wilhelm learned of the matter and at
once replevined it. Both parties to the ac-
tion are well known, and the suit promises
to be Of considerable interest.

Social at Rcth-Edcn.

Those who attended the George Wash
ington'' social at Beth-Eden Baptist church
last Thursday evening were pleasantly en-
tertained. The house was packed. The
program which was beautifully arranged was
of the most refined and artistic order. The
Apollo Either club completely charmed the
audience and although it was announced
that no encores would be allowed, the audi
ence would not be suppressed until the
musical seven returned to their tables. Mr..
Lowell Dunn, a promising young Omaha
violinist, surprised his friends in his
artistic rendering of Wieniawski's "Polish
were fine. angels Serenade" was sung
by Mrs. Sunderland in a sweet, well rounded
voice of rich fullness and with the violin
Cbligato produced a very pleasing effect.
Patrick Henry was there and so was Miss
Van Geisan with her graceful ease and
timely selections. The music by the
mixed quartet ELECTED prolonged applause
and all were sorry when the program was
finished. The members of the reception
committee were dressed in gorgeous colonial
costumes. The program was followed by
social intercourse and light refreshments.
The Beth-Eden society has been doing
aggressive work since the advent of its new
pastor, DR.. Odell. There have been come
thirty conversions; an increase of 30 per
cent in church membership; the Sabbath
school has trebled and the Young Peoples
society more than trebled in numbers and
interest. The spiritual life of the church
has been awakened and the good work is
already showing itself in results.
