IRRIGATION TO BE PUSHED
stornre Reservoirs Proposed as the
EfcctunL Remedy for Annual
OyerHows of Missouri River.

George p. Maxwell, a prominent attorney
Of san Francisco, was in Omaha Tuesday
calling upon people interested in the solu-
tion of the irrigation problem He repre-
sented the irrigation interests of the coast
at Washington last winter, his special OBJ
ject being to promote the plan for the ma
tional construction of storage reservoirs as
outlined in the Warren irrigation bill
Mr. Maxwell has made a study of irriga
ton conditions not only in California, but
throughout the west, and expresses conf
dence that reservoir system properly con-
structed along the upper reaches of the Mis-
souri, would prove an effective remedy
against the annual floods produced by the
melting of the SHOWS in the mountains
While in Omaha Mr. Maxwell made ar
rangements to address the Commercial club
upon this subject on his return i'm about a
week, when he hopes to enlist the active
support of the organization in the forma-
tion of a national irrigation association to
take charge OF irrigation matters as affected
by state and national legislation. Mr.. Max
we'll will also attend the Transmississppi
Commercial congress at Wichita next month,
where the subject of irrigation will be up
for discussion, and when he hopes his plans
will be sufficiently matured to justify the
organization of the proposed national as
sociation at that time and place.

PERFORMANCE ON THE EITHER
Pupils of 4. o. Mueller Give n Recital
Before Large
Audience.

The pupils of A. o. Mueller gave a either
recital in the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation auditorium last evening. The hall
was almost entirely filled by the friends OF
the performers who turned out to hear and
encourage them. Many Of the numbers
were in the hands of very small performers
and it was but natural that there should
have been some self-consciousness, likewise
a little timidity. But in no case did either
interfere seriously with the success of the
performer The resolution with which some
of the younger pupils took their places be-
fore the audience and the earnest efforts
they all made to do their best readily gained
them the sympathy of their hearers, and
they were literally appauded
Some time was lost in preparing the stage
for the entrance of the either orchestra for
the opening number and it was o'clock be-
fore they began to play. They gave Under
the Double Eagle" by Wagner and pleas
ures of Youth" by Rueffer. The informa-
tion on the printed program to the effect
that no encores would be responded to pre-
vented them from realizing the full measure
of their achievement.
Little Miss Alice Marie Hertzmann was in
no lack of popularity, being made the re-
cipent OF three large punches of flowers
with the regulation ribbons attached, for her
efforts with a German march. She was the
most nearly composed of the younger play
ers. Miss Maud Huston, musician as yet

or less than faith in Jesus Christ As faith
without works is dead. SO Christianity
without aggression amounts to little All

rub UP against people, to shake them by
the hand In a manner that makes them feel
that there is a heart behind IL. To be an
aggressive Christian worker one must not
only have the love OF God in his heart but

mont." She characterized the churches by
tho various chords based on the musical
scale and illustrated them with the aid of
the piano. The scale has seven tones on
each OF which a chord may be based and the
chords are major, minor or diminishing
according to the note on which each is
founded. So there are major, minor and
diminished people to be found everywhere.
Tho chord OF each denomination is based
some enthusiasm by declaring that the
Congregational chord is based on the fifth
or dominant" tone.
Continuing, Mrs. Ford urged the impor-
tance of more ethics and less theology in
order to reach the people. She advocated
such measures as would reach the men who
are too old for the kindergarten or the uni
versity. This might be attained by dcvot-
ing some part OF the church services to the
discussion of the life of Christ as applied
to some of the social and economic prob
lens of the day.

CZERWlNSKl AND K0ZlSkI
Their Foot Race is Declared on and
Then Trouble Arises over setting
Up the Drinks.

Vincent Czerwiush objects to having
Frank kozisd discharge his revolver in tho
city limits and puts his objections in the
form of complaint. According to
his story he is afraid Of his life. He
says several weeks ago he and KozisN were
going to have n foot race, each betting on
himself For some reason the race was de-
clarod Off one night in Kozisk's saloon.
Koziski insisted that CzerwinsN should
treat the crowd and the latter objected be-
cause he thought Koziski was better able to
do that than he. He agreed finally to buy the
drinks for every one except Koaish. Ger
winslN says this made Koziskl angry and
they had some hard words. No trouble en-
sued at that time, but later he met Kozisd
and the quarrel was renewed. Czerwnskt
says he was warned by friends to pursue
different Coute on his way home. He did
this and Sunday night while going home
he says No2iski waited for him.
While he was still three blocks away ko-
ziski discharged his revolver three times.
Czerwinski does not think Ko2isld fired at
him, but he wants him fined Just a littlo
bit so he will not shoot any more and also
to remind him that there is law in the
land

SHERIFF DARGAN IN TROUBLE
Indicted for Interfering with an Of
fccr of the United Stntes-aucs-
ton of JurisdictiOn.

At the recent sitting of the United States
grand jury, an indictment was returned
against Sheriff Charles f. Dargan, sheriff
of Dawes county, this state. This informa-
ton, however, was not given out until Tues
day afternoon, when the capias for the ar
rest Of the officer was issued.
Sheriff Dargan resides at Chadron and is
charged with interfering with an officer of
the United States while in the discharge of
his duty The particular officer referred to
is Sergeant NJ. e. Drew, stationed at Fort
Robinson. 1t appears that two soldiers had
deserted from Fort Robinson and that they
were followed and captured by Sergeant
Drew. While he was taking the men back
to the post he was met by Sheriff Dargan,
who had warrants for their arrest, they
being charged in the state courts with day
light burglary. The sheriff took the two
men, William A. Pennington and John II,
Kaufman, from the sergeant and then the
litigation commenced The sergeant made an
effort TO secure the custody of the two SOL
diers and Judge Allen, who was holding
court at Chadron at the time, cited him to
appear and show cause why he should not
be punished for contempt in refusing to
obey the process OF the courts of the states.
The officer took the position that the courts
had nothing to do with the soldiers until
after the desertion charges against them had
been disposed Of, and there the matter
stands at this time, the hearing on the con-
tempt proceedings having been postponed
until next week.
Subsequent TO the sheriff OF Dawes county
taking the two soldiers away from Sergeant
Drew the United States grand jury con-
yened and witnesses We're called before that
body, After listening to the testimony an
indictment as heretofore referred TO was
found.
The charge of boouegging has been
brought against w. II. Starr of Liberty, this
state, and he has given bonds for his ap-
pearance in United States court when the
hearing comes up. Starr was brought in by
Deputy Marshal Keim. While the general
charge Of bootlegging is preferred against
Starr, 1t is alleged that he acted as a manu-
facturer's agent and sold liquor to dealers
in Liberty and surrounding towns, never
having taken out a government license.
Speaking Of the charges against him,
Starr said: Some weeks ago l received cir
culars from the Licking Valley Distillng
company OF COyington, KY, quoting prices
on liquors. | opened a correspondence and
in the end was given five counties to work.
| Travelled over these counties and took
orders the same as other commercial tray-

CONGREGATlONALlSTS MEET
ReorSnnized Club Holds IA Gathering
and Passes II Pleasant and Profit
able Evening.

The reorganized Omaha Congregational
club which combines the social features
of the old organization with the practical
work of the church extension society," held
a largely attended and most enjoyable
meeting at the First Congregational church
last night. The actual membership OF the
society consists of member and the
pastor from each church of the denomlna-
tion in the city, aggregate of seventeen,
but at these social occasions a general In
vitation is extended to all the congrega-
tions. The lecture room of the church was
comfortably filled last night and an even
ing of social chat ana greeting was varied
by a short program of addresses on sub
jects pertinent to the work of the society.
Rev f. d. Jackson of Pilgrim church
called the assemblage to- order and briefly
sketched the purposes of the occasion. lie
then introduced DR.. A. B. SOmers, pTesi-
dent of the society, who read a short paper
on what We Stand For" DR.. Somers as
serted that Congrcgationalism is the mos
republican and the least sectarian OF Telig
ious denominations. 1t teaches that all
churches are in fellowship and in practical
work at home and missionary enterprise
abroad it ranks second to nCne. He briefly
sketched the revolt in England against OLD
church forms that resulted in the estab-
lishment of the Congregational churCn and
followed the history of the new church
after it had been brought to the western
hemisphere to show that it had nowher~
failed to allow the utmost liberty of con-
science 1t has no denominatlonal creed,
but merely form of statement to which
it's members must assent in order that they
may work in harmony.
The soprano solo, Last Night | Wa>
Dreaming" was delightfully."- rendered by
Miss Louise Squires and was followed by
an address by Mrs w. H. Hurlburt on
Aggressive Congregationalism." Mrs.
Hurlburt said that aggression takes it for
granted that there is an enemy to be facec.
Success depends that there should be an
army and a plan Of attack. The question or
equipment is also most important. The
worker must be armed with the joy of sal
yation before he could turn transgressors
to Christ. A baptism of the Holy Spirit is
necessary before a church can be really
aggressive.

ject of a very practical talk by C. II. Grat>

The Enoch Morgan Sons company Of New
York have brought suit in United States
court against John ]. Gibson OF this city,
asking for an Injunction to prevent him

that he should be stopped from selling as

Tuesday afternoon, when Judge Gordon sent
him to the county Jail for sixty days The
testimony showed that Carmen and John
Foubear came down from Columbus to-
gether, After the train had stopped at tho
union depot they passed a woman in the car
and Carmen attempted to run his hand into
her pocket. Fortunately she had pinned tho
pocket up and he failed 70 get her purse.
She notified Officer Fleming and he ar
rested Carmen and Foubear. The womau
idertifed the two men as having been near
her and stated positively that Carmen had
tried to rob her. While Foubear was seen
on the platform of the car with Carmen by
Car Inspector NJ. f. McCune prior to the
robbery there was nothing to show that he
had assisted in the attempt to rob the
woman. He was discharged. His home is
in Glens Falls n. Y, while Carmen halls
