About seventy-five alumni, representing
nineteen colleges, were present at the re-
cent conference at Springfield, Mass,
when steps were taken to form national
federation of college and university clubs
with the object of exerting some prac-
teal influence on the country's political
forces. 1t is believed that the 100000
college graduates can be organized for eff
fectiye work without arousing class feel
ing. The convention sent greetings to
President Roosevelt.

The use of telephones and automobiles
was decided to be wrong by the Old Ger

moon Trip, Entered and MARRIED.
Vandalism, supposed to have been
committed by jealous rival, has played
havoc with the newly furnished home OF
David b. Orwig of Toledo, who with his
bride of three days is on a trip to Buffalo
and NIAGARA Falls. Neighbors found the
front door of his house standing open.
An investigation showed that every car
pet had been torn up and cut into shreds,
curtains and hangings were tern down
and two beds were burned. All the gas
jets were turned on. How it happened
that the house was not burned, is a mys-
terry. From cellar TO garnet there was
not a room that escaped the devastation
of the vandal or vandals, and even the
trunks were torn open and clothing
thrown out and torn to shreds. Pictures
had been taken from the walls and
stamped upon. Apparently nothing is
missing, that robbery could not have
been the motive.

FLAMES 1MPER1L FIREMEN.
Blaze in Department Store Causes
Heavy Damage to Stock.

A very Insignificant fire was the indi-
rect cause of heavy damage to the stock
of Haiden Brothers department store at
Sixteenth and Dodge streets, Omaha, and
the narrow escape from death CT fifteen
fremen and police surgeon. The ire,
which was of unknown origin, started in
furniture store room at the rear of the
building. 1t caused the automatic sprink-
Ter to food the entire five floors of the
building before it was discovered. The
total value of the stock is given at $780,
600. and the damage at one half that
amount, fully covered by Insurance. The
fire had evidently been smol3ering for
some time before the water was started,
for the room was so filled with carbonic
acid gas that the first 6remen to enter
the place were overcome and those who
went to their assistance rapidly sue
cumbed until it was necessary to take
fifteen of them to the hospital.
