BID THEIR PASTOR GOODBYE
Friends of DIR. Butler Tender Him n
Most Enjoyable Farewell
Reception.

The approaching departure of Rev. S.
Wright Butler, who has for six years been
the popular pastor of St. Mary's Avenue
Congregational church, was anticipated last
evening by farewell reception that brought
together the full membership OF the church
in token of appreciation of his long and
efficient service. With them came a num-
ber OF members OF the other Congregational
churches Of the city who expressed a no
less pronounced sentiment OF regret at the
prospect OF losing DR.. Butler from the church
work of the city.
The reception was held in the spacious
parlors OF the church and these were
thronged from O'Clock until late in the
evening There was a short program of
music and speeches, but these were aux
iliary TO the social enjoyments which occu-
pied the bulk of the evening. DR.. and Mrs
Butler stood at one side OF the room and
for more than an hour were kept busy
shaking hands with hundreds OF Omaha
friends who crowded around to express their
sorrow at losing them and their earnest
hopes for an increased measure OF success
in a new field. The sincerity OF these ex-
pressions was too apparent to be doubted
and although all endeavored 10 invest the
occasion with a measure OF cheerfulness
evidences of deep feeling were not lacking
buTlnB lne evening tue women or the con-
gregation served ices and strawberry punch
by way of refreshment and after the recep-
tion proper was concluded short program
injected a very enjoyable nterlude in the
proceedings. Mrs. A. G. Edwards sang the
Invocation" with exquisite expression and
W. H. Wilbur contributed a tenor solo that
was received with equal appreciation
Samuel Burns then called on W. ]. Connell
who briefly expressed the sentiment of the
evening from the standpoint of those who
are about to lose their pastor He spoke
in the most glowing terms OF the success
that DR.. Butler had achieved in his Omaha
field and appropriately voiced the senti-
ment OF sincere regret to which his decision
to leave has given birth. DR.. Butler replied
in his usual graceful manner and assured
his friends that whatever the future may
have in store for him his sojourn in Omaha
Will remain bright chapter in his memory
and an inspiration TO his best effort.
Music was also furnished by an orchestra
which consisted of Miss Marie Swanson,
harp; Charles Tulley, cello; Guy Woodard.

Talk of Impeachment,

The fact that for seven consecutive times
the city council has failed of a quorum when
important business was to have come up for
disposition, has caused certain members of
the body TO look into the law for relief
In nearly every instance Wear the demo-
cratic councilman from the Third ward has
held the key to the situation and he has
staid away, even after making promises
that he would attend. Why he.h has done
this no one but himself seems to know
but one thing is certain, and that is II he
continues in his present tactics impeach-
ment proceedings may be commenced with a
, view to ending his official existence. That
the law Is weak no one denies and the only
remedy at hand is impeachment. The only
law governing the council is found on page
235 of the Compiled Statutes OF 1897 and the
section reads as follows:
Regular meetings OF the council shall
be held at such times as may be fixed by
ordinance, and special meetings whenever
called by the mayor any four councilmen
Two-thirds of all members elected to the
council shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of any business, but less num-
ber may adjourn from time to time and
compel the attendance of absent members +"
The city ordinances provide for a meet
ing every Monday night and at such other
trouble OF securing a quorum is no new
thing, as ten years ago Councilman John
ston introduced a resolution fixing a fine
of s. on each member absent without a good
excuse. While the resolution passed with
whoop 1t did not last long, as the members
began to accept all sorts OF excuses and be-
fore many weeks had passed the law was a
dead letter.
Mayor Ensor brought the matter up again
during his first term and tried to have an
ordinance passed compelling attendance,
but the members of the council would not
hear TO It. They did finally agree to a fine
of S. for missing a Board OF Equalization
meeting, but that all. While the state
law says the council may compel the at
! tendance OF members the council itself must
promulgate this law and the members of the
present body do not feel inclined TO lay
| themselves liable to a fine The only way
therefore out OF the difhculty is to com
mence impeachment proceedings against the
members who habitually break a quorum
| by either remaining away entirely OF leay-
ing just as meeting is about to be called
| to order.

EVENINGS ENTERTAINMENTS
FORMAL Reopening of the Thurston
Rides Armory-woodmen GIee
Club Concert.

The Thurston Rifles armory was formerly

cie:y and the attendance numbered nearly
200
Both the armory and the drawing rooms
have been entirely refurnshed since the de-
structve fire that ruined the old quarters
and the new decorative equipment is far
more elaborate and tasteful than the old.
Among the latest company mementoes for
which places have been found on the walls
are several group photographs OF Company
L. The largest was taken at Maloos in
February. The others were taken before the
departure OF the boys and have been do
mated TO the company by friends.
Early in the evening there were card
games in the drawing rooms for all those
who were disposed TO play and in the armory
the young people danced to the strains OF
music by string orchestra, Dainty refresh
ments were served to the guests after the
formal reception.

JEFFRlES A DISAPPOINTMENT
Champion Boxer Proves Merely n
Curiosity to Many Anxious
Local sports.

The much heralded James j Jeffries. the
husky conqueror of the red headed Cornish
man, Robert Fitzsimmons,, was viewed last
night at the Boyd theater in a boxing bout
with his brother, Jack Jeffries of California,
by less than 1000 people, most of whom
went away disguised with tue show, which
was the poorest return for the money Of
anything given here in a long time. AL
though supposed to afford an evenings en-
tertainment the audience was compelled to
wait in idleness until nearly $50. There
were no programs and no music and no en-
thusiasm either.
Whether the champion ever had bad hands
or bad feet, as described by local pu-
gilistic expert who always gets on the wrong
side of the fence, he certainly put UP a
bad show and put the spectators into bad
humor. The only merit of the badness was
that it was short in duration, the whole
thing being over in less than thirty min
utes.
The Jeffries brothers were announced by
Ross O'Neil while Billy Delaney the
champions trainer, watched him from the
flies. Mr.. O'Neil called attention to the fact
that in the last round James Jeffries would
give his brother a rap similar to that which
ended the career of Bob Fitzsimmons at
Coney Island July 9. AS the two brothers
appeared they were greeted with feeble
cheers the champion of course receiving
more than his brother. Both are very large
men, Jack being tall and handsomer man
than Jim. Both, however, are superb speci
mems of physical manhood that would at
tract the attention of a crowd anywhere.
In the four-round bout between them the
champion stood before his brother without
his guard up, but the lodging tactics OF
the champion were too much for him to
land. Jeffries fought from a crouching posi-
tion, Just as he did when he met Fitzsm
mons, and it was easy to see how difficult
an opponent he would make for a straight
away fighter like the former champion.
Corbett was shifty. but there was not so
much of him as there is OF Jeffries, whose
retreat from an opponent is so swift that
one cannot realize the blow has failed to
land before he is back again with both
hands jabbed into his face. In the last
round, when he gave the alleged knockout
blow. 1t was done so quickly that it is safe
to say not half dozen people in the au-
dience could tell how Jack Jeffries was
struck. The latter dropped as If shot and,
like Fitz. did not move until he had been
counted out.
Prior to the appearance of the champion
there were two short bouts, one between
Smith, the Kentucky Rosebud" and Payne.
the BLACK Demon Payne injured his
right thumb in the third round and the
scrap ended. The second bout was between
Kid Rowe Of Santiago and Paul Murray of
Omaha. Murray had decidedly the better of
the contest

RECEPTION TO THE LADIES
Friends of the EIks Enjoy the Bill
at the Trocndcro Nestcr-
day Afternoon.

The Trocadero was rich with color yester
day afternoon when the second annual re-
cepton rendered to the wives, sisters and
lady friends of the Benevolent and Protec-
tive Order OF Elks by Manager Cole oc-
Cured. The number attending was much
greater than last year 1t being estimated
that fully 1,400 women and children were
present.
The theater was prettily decorated with
palms in honor of the occasion. large
number OF these cool looking plants stood
in various parts of the building. over the
stage handsome elk head, lighted by in
candescent lights was suspended. Each
actress who appeared on the program was
presented with a bunch OF handsome roses.
Tue audience was one Of which Manager
Cole may we'll be proud. 1t was composed
OF women from the very best homes in the
city. They knew to what they were going
apparently and did not hesitate to take their
children with them, thereby paying deli
cate compliment to the management, which
It certainly appreciated. The tickets and
invitations to the reception or social We're
mitted unless she presented one or the other,
The audience evinced its appreciation of
the excellent program presented by Manager
Cole this week by unstinted applause. Each
number was given an encore and the actors
graciously responded the second, third and
sometimes the fourth time. II all socials
given by Manager Cole are such successes as
that of yesterday 1t is safe to say that those
receiving invitations will consider them
selves highly favored in future.
