21st at the college.

Portland with Ed. Sheer and G p.
Bradley, sentenced to one year each in
eGpenitentiary, and John Osborne,
who will be placed in the reform school.
The large store buildings soon to be
erected in The Dalles do not comprise all
the building to be done this season. A
dozen or more new residences on the
bluff are contemplated, in many cases
the contracts having been let.
The Red Mems ball was quite an en-
joyable affair. They proved themselves
to be capital entertainers, and being
met with genuine willingness to help
entertain themselves, everyone present
had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

A very pleasant party was given the
young folks of the M. E. church by Mrs.
Smith French Friday evening last. Suit

played and nice lunch served and the
hours sped all too quickly for those forl
tunate enough to have been present. 4

A great many ellgiously-inclined stat
isticians are figuring it out that the end
of the world will come in May, and Rev.
Hazel, who has taken up the interpreta-
ton of the prophecies leading to this
interesting event, announces that he
will not be through before August.
However, considering the thousand
years of the millennium, Mr.. Hazel's au-
dience might. be induced to extend his
time, if he would promise to get through
in two or three hundred years.
The graves of tie defenseless dead are

The Great Tobacco war.

The head of one OF the largest st. Louis
MANUFACTURERS of plug tobacco said to-
day: About two years ago we put on
the market brand of plug tobacco, and
when we figured it out, we found we had
lost just seven cents pound. Battle Ak
Plug Tobacco, am told, sells for one
cent per pound less than our brand,
which would make the loss on 1t nine
cents per pound. "Battle AK" how
ever, is superior to the one we put out,
land must cost more to manufacture.
Twenty million pounds of Battle Ak
pug tobacco were sold, on which be-
believe there must have been a loss of at
least ten cents a pound, so on this item
alone there seems to have been loss of

From the above statement of large
plug tobacco manufacturer, who eviden-
tly knows what he is talking about, it
would seem to us that the only one who
is bene6ting by the Tobacco War is the
man who chews Battle AK for he Is
certainly getting the full worth of his
money every time he buys 1t.

Taxes Nearly Due.

The tax roll is about completed, and
will be placed in the hands of the sheriff
for collection tomorrow. The law pro-
vides that the roll shall be completed by
the county clerk by March let, but Mr..
Kelsay is ofteler little ahead than be-
hind time. A glance over it showed it
to be of unusual excellence, as regards
descriptions, SO much so that the data
from it would be sufficient to convey
title, without legal aid. Taxpayers will
all be notified within three or four days
of the amount of their taxes, which may

has not the time or inclination to make
a trip to town for the purpose. Taxes

MEETING OF TRI-CITY UNION
Gathering of Baptist Young People Of
Three Cities.
DISCUSSION OF WORK AND SOCIAL HOUR
Attitude OF the Societies Toward the
Church-Address by Rev. v. Z.
Rocho-Omcers for Coming
Year Elected.

The Tri-City union OF the Baptist Young
Peoples unions met at Grace church at Tenth
and Arbor streets last night. In spite Of
the suburban location OF the place OF meet
ing there was very hattering attendance
and the young people enjoyed very pleasant
social hour after the program Of the even
ing had been concluded. There were repre-
sentatves from the unions Of South Omaha
and Council Bluffs, and also from those Of
the Calvary, Beth Eden, Emmanuel, Olivet
Danish and First Baptist churches Of Omaha.
The devotional exercises were followed by
a talk on committee work by Rev. V. c.
Rocho OF Council Bluffs. The speaker tersely
pointed out some OF the essentials TO sue
cesgful committee work In his opinion 1t was
the last word Of his subject that should be
emphasized. There was an abundance Of
committees, but what was wanted was com
mittees that would work. Eve;y member
of committee should remember that his
Individual part must be done and when each
was ready to do his part the result would
be all that could be hoped for.
The que stion box which was conducted
by j. II. Daniels, served to introduce some
little amusement, combined with some excel
lent suggestions.
The address CT the evening was by Rev.
p. +. Feman Of York, who sToke on "The
Unoner and His Church." He said that the
various church auxiliary organizations were
for the primary purpose OF unifylng and
concentrating the effort. of the individual
members The union was the child of the
church, and as such ought not t. perform
church functions. lie declared against tine
practice of using the auxiliary societies as
money making institutions. That
matter which should be left entirely to the
church. The union was in every respect q
dependent of the church and its work should
be made to conform to that principle.
After considering the relation of the unicn
to the church the speaker concluded by
pointing out how the unoners should work
to bring about the best possible results from
that relation. The union was the school
OF the church and the first object was to
produce active workers. Eacl member of
the union should strive to become at once a
bible Christian, an intelligent Christian,
missionary Christian and a financial Chris
tian. In explaining the latter term he al
luded to the parasites that were found in
every church, young people and old people
who were in the church and accepted all the
advantages which it offered without lend
Ing any material financial aid to the caase
The following officers were elected: Presi-
dent, Henry Rhodes OF Grace church; vice
president, Miss Susy Phelps of Calvary
chruch; secretary, Miss Nellie Holmes of
the First church; treasurer. c. NJ Fleming
