Omcials Here.

Frederick p. Fish, president OF the Amer

nature OF routine.
F. A Piohernall, assistant to the presi-
dent, came up from Kansas City and

TWO FISHERMEN ARE FINED
Assessed by Judge Vinaonhnler ana
BaIdriEe Appeals TO Dis
trlct Court.

Judge vinsonhaler fined Carl Bruner and
Frank Benesh $50 and costs for illegal
fishing
This was done against the strong pro-
test of Attorney Baldrige, who asserted
there Is not one chance In a thousand OF
convicting the men in the district court
He gave notice of appeal
Defendants offered an alibl but the court
said this looked to him so suspicious and
all the circumstances were such that ho
must conclude a crime had been committed.
He would therefore find the defendants
guilty. ..t
The county court room floor was Uttered
with nets and the seats were filled with
friends of the fishermen. Deputy Game
Warden Piersen was the main witness
against Bruner and Fricl. He had found
one closed net full Of carp and buffalo and
a larger net set for catching anything that
might come along. The nets were in a
slough, he said, made by back water. De-
PENDANTS contend the fish in the small net
had been caught in the open river and that
they did not own the large net
Bruner and Benesh were released on bond
pending an appeal.

ART OF TOUCH TYPEWRITINe
II Has Been Brought Close to Perfec-
ton in Omaha Commercial
Schools.

The touch method of typewriting has
been brought to greater perfection in
Omaha than in any other city OF the coun-
try. Paderewski, the great pianist, had
some writing done by a student of an
Omaha school and was amazed at the
speed, rapidity and accuracy OF the opera
tor. After the completion of the work he
expressed great surprise and said, THAT
is the first time l ever saw a typewriter
operated as If 1t were a piano"
Piano method would be a very good
name for the touch system, as the operator
writes without looking at the keys. In
sight writing the operator stops the ma
Chine to read few words. a clause or a
short sentence and then writes what he has
read This causes frequent starting and
stopping and about one-half of the time is
| consumed in reading BY the touch method
there is no necessity for stopping the ma
chine 10 read the copy. This enables, a
touch operator to write about twice as
much in a given time as a sight operator.
Omaha has had a very important part in
developing touch typewriting and placing 1t
before the world. An Omaha man repre-
scented the advantages OF the system to the
National Commercial Teachers association
which met at Chicago in December. 1898.
and made such an exhibition with one of
his students that the system swept the
country like a storm. In history Of touch
typewrlting published by the Remington
Typewriter company the statement was
made that Omaha was the ''storm center OF
touch typewriting." Two Omaha men have
published texts on this subject and one OF
them has sold more than $4,000 copies.
Omaha has furnished more expert type
writer operators for exhibiting writing ma
chimes at the great expositions than any
other city in the country. One operator
trained in an Omaha school was sent to
the Paris exposition. where she astonished
| all Europe by the grace, ease, rapidity and
accuracy with which she wrote on an un-
| lettered keyboard in the English and
| French languages. Omaha schools fur
nished the best operators at the Pan
American exposition and the Louisiana
| Purchase exposition.

MOTHER SHOWS LITTLE CARE
Parent Of Homeless Children Refuses
TO Testify in Juvenile
Court Hearing.

Judge Redick disposed OF the Juvenile
court business Saturday morning. He had
only two cases OF delinquency to handle,
one child being concerned in one and three
children OF family in the other. A Mrs.
Schroeder, deserted by her husband, has
been somewhat lax in taking care OF a
bright little daughter. She pleaded with
the Judge that she is a hard worker and
does the best she can. This appearing to be
true and the child desiring to remain with
her mother was allowed to do so with the
understanding that she should have more
parental attention in future.
The family affair was that of John Hack,
his wife and three children. Hack was ac-
cused of spending mis- money for drink
and then taking the small earnings of his
14-year-old daughter Mamie and spending
them, too. Hack and his wife separated on
account Of his bad habits, each taking two
children. Mrs. Hack sent one child TO live
with her relatives in Iowa and the older
child, Mamie. has been working in a South
Omaha boarding house for her board and
small wages. Hack undertook to pay for
the keep OF the other daughter, aged 8,
and a boy aged g. He failed to do 80.
After hearing the evidence Judge Redick
committed Mamie. Katie and Loren TO the
detention home temporarily, Mamie being
sent along to care for the two younger
children.
Mrs Hack was in court, but took little or
no interest in the case. She has secured a
position in a family and is doing well, but
seems to have arrived at the point where
she has lost interest in her family. No one
OF the three children went near her and
she refused to testify. So far as appear
ance went she has been the least concerned
mother who has yet appeared in the Ju-
veniie court,

The new Board of Dental Secretaries met
in Lincoln last week and perfected an
organization, with these officers: Dr. d.
A. Meese, Auburn, president DR.. c. F.
Ladd, Lincoln, secretary; DR.. ]. Herman
Wallace, Omaha, vice president and treas
urer. The other members are DR.. w T.
Smith OF Geneva and Dr. C. S. Parker of
Norfolk
The law regulating the practice OF dentis-
try In this state, passed by the last legis-
lature, went into effect July l, and by a
ruling Of the board all dentists now prac-
ticlng in the state who have not registered
with the board can have Fhe privilege of
doing so until September l without taking
an examination. After September l all
dentists desiring to practice will be re-
quired to take an examination before the
board.
The board will meet in regular session
at the capitol building during the months
Of May and November of each year, at
such times as they may designate, and
will meet at such other times and places
in special session as they may deem advis-
able.
Applicants for permanent license to prac-
| tice dentistry will be examined only dur
| ing regular meetings. After September
| all applicants must pass an examination
! before license will be issued to them to
practice This license must be recorded
| with the county clerk in the county in
which the applicant desired to practice
within six months from date Of issue or
| IL is forfeited.
! A great many dentists in the state do
| not understand that they must record
their license with the county clerk in the
county in which they practice, but this is
! necessary in order to be a legal practi-
/ TONER. Any who have not complied with
this provision Of the dental law must dc
so at once.
Under the new law the applicant for
! license must be a graduate of a reputable
dental college or have served an appren-
ticeship OF FIVE years in the office of legal

mendation the board may furnish him a

at which time the temporary license will
! expire and the holder thereof must appear
and take an examination for permanent
license.
| No dentist who was legal practitioner ir
this state before July l will be affected bJ
the new law, but there are some who have
not complied/ with the provisions Of thu
old law and are therefore not legal prac
titioners and these must comply with thu
| new law.
