Faculty of U. n. d. Provides Course
for Newspaper Men In the Embryo
Scheme ut Minnesota University to
Be Followed Here and Credits Given.

Be Followed Here and Credits Given.
Talk of school of journalism at
the University of Minnesota has been
revised by the recommendation of the
faculty council that credit be given
for work on the Minnesota Daily, the
university paper This Recommended
ton provides that each reporter cut
out his article, affix his name. and
hand to some member of the faculty
delegated by the faculty, and on these
articles the credit for each week be
given.
Several months ago a committee
was considering the advisability of
starting regular course of Journal
ism, but after a thorough investiga-
ton it was found that the university
funds would not permit. and SO it
was postponed to some future date.
1t is pleasing to note iiiat the Uni
versity of North Dakota has taken
leading place in this as we'll as in
other directions and already has Il
full-grown school of journalism in
smooth working order, and quite Il
number of future quill 'pushers en-
rolled. The editors and reporters on
the Weekly Student, the official U.
N. D. paper, also accrue some benefit
from the plan as put in operation.
The press committee of the faculty,
feeling that the students who put in
eight and ten hours of journalistic
work a week on the paper, should be
entitled to some recognition for their
work, has made ruling whereby one
years service on the Board is equiva-
lent to one half a credit in the course
in journalism. The faculty has also
adopted the resolution of the COM
mittee on curriculum to allow credit
for work in athletics, and the scheme,
under the care Of Dr.. Sweetland,
athletic director, has proven a grand
success.

GUILD PLEADS FOR OMAHA
Commissioner Of Commercial Club Look
After 0itJ's Interests in Chicago,
VISITS THE CEREAL MILL PROMOTERS
Secures from Associated Press Prom
ise Thct Omaha VIII he Given
as Fair Publicity as
Possible,

Commissioner John M. Guild Of the Com
mercial club returned yesterday morning
from Chicago, where he looked up several
matters Of interest to Omaha. Mr.. Guild
put in several hard knocks for a large
cereal branch mill and a wholesale house,
both matters being at this time in such
state that to announce the details, the COM
missioner said would be to defeat the ef-
forts of the Commercial club. Commits
sioner Guild, however, said he felt en-
couraged with his efforts in Chicago, and
caused prospective investors in Omaha to
look on this point in different light In
the matter OF locating industries at Omaha.
The cereal mill men are just now looking
toward a more southern location, but are
considering Omaha's advances with good
grace.
In connection with Omahas industrial
welfare, MIR. Guild visited Industrial Com
missioner Mannss of the Burlington and
paved the way for closer cooperation be-
tween the Burlington's Omaha industrial
department and the Omaha Commercial
club. To that end Commissioner Mannss
promised to call on the Commercial club
within few weeks and talk over the mat
ter across the fleshpots
status of Merchants Meetings.
A1r. Gullu Caileu Oh chairman UACAOuN
Of the Western Passenger association re-
garding the status of merchants meetings,
a subject Of much interest just now to
western merchants. The executive commit
tee of the Western Passenger association
will meet next Thursday and at that time
decide whether Il will recommend to the
association at large the wisdom Of holding
merchants meetings in 1907 and whether
one and one-third or one and one-ifth fare
will be agreed on. There is some question
as to whether it would be profitable to
hold these meetings in view of the regula-
ton stipulated in the interstate commerce
law
Colonel Charles s. Diehl of the Associated
Press heard from Commissioner Guild a
suggestion that Omaha be given more
recognition in the Associated Press service
credit of the city and reflect its growth
and improvement. Colonel Diehl said
Omaha was only one of many cities making
the same request and declared that 1t
would be impossible to carry all the news
offered from the 100 stations. Colonel Diehl
asked Mr. Guild to report all important
events in advance to the Associated Press
and Omaha would be taken care Of In the
best manner possible.
Mr.. Guild put in word for Omaha as
against Niagara Falls for a convention OF
Catholic women Of benevolence. Omaha
and Niagara Falls are the two cities now
in the race and the convention means the
visit of LOO women.

MANICURE sETs-Fren7er, 18th Dodge
FAIRY TALE DOES NOT TAKE
Familiar Yarn of BuncOed Innocence
Abroad Fails to Impress
the Police.

In a match of wits between a verdant
youth, b. s. Gallaher of Stuart, and Chief
of Detectives Savage, Saturday afternoon,
the youth camo out decidedly second best.
Young Gallaher went to the police sta
tion Saturday with the fairy tale that he
had been held up Friday night after leav-
ing his room at 124 South Nineteenth
street, and robbed Of $11. He was then
given instructions to meet the bold, bad
highwayman Saturday after he had cashed
several checks and give up more money,
which was DONE so Gallaher said.
Chief Savage has had unlimited expe-
rience with stories of that nature, and
ordered the young mans Incarceration
until he thought he could tell the true
story, and after having an opportunity for
solemn meditation in a cell the why and
wherefore was soon made known, with an
accompaniment Of lachrymose expressions.
Gallaher said he had met a stranger and
was enticed into game of pool Saturday
morning In the saloon of Lentz g. Will
lisms. After losing 81 the betting be-
came higher and Gallaher cashed checks
amounting to SIS, which was placed In the
hands of a stakeholder. The obliging
stakeholder suddenly disappeared and
probably has divided the profits with his
confederate.
The easy victim conceived the idea OF
the hold-up story to square things with
his family at Stuart, and was dismissed
by Chief Savage with the advice to &c
home to mother, where he could receive
protection and not gambOl on the green
in Omaha.
Gallaher is a student at the Omaha Com
mercial college, but is now convinced thai
pool games are not part OF the curriou-
lum.

BIBLE THE INSPIRED WORD OF eoD
Most wonderful of All Books, Says
Rev. John Albert williams.

Most wonderful of All Books, Says
Rev. John Albert williams.
1.-THE Bible, the Word OF God" was the
subject on which Rev. John Albert VIII
liams preached at the church of st. Philip
the Deacon Sunday morning.
1.-The Bible is a most wonderful book"
said Rev Mr.. williams. 1T Is a book
of many parts, written during many CEN
turtles by men OF all conditions of life and
of several nationalities. And yet the Bible
Is one concise whole. Each book Ats into
fits place and there is no inconsistency any
where. This is true Of the New Testa-
ment as well as the Old. The former con-
tains the fulhllment OF many OF the events
which were prophesied in the latter.
That the Bible was the work of men
inspired by God there can be no doubt.
It was written by men who, with the ex-
cebtion Of st. Paul, were entirely un-
learned and unsophisticated. They were
of the humblest position in life, fishermen,
peasants and tent makers But they wrote
words that have provided study for the
savants and sages of all ages. They were
merely instruments in the hands of the
Holy Ghost by Whom they were inspired
There are many points on which to base
argument for the authenticity of the book
The marvellous fulfllment of the prophesles
made in the Old Testament hundreds of
years in advance of their fulhllment are
matters for wonder. The fact that scien-
tiho attainment OF today in spite of all
its great discoveries, has not advanced tc
that knowledge set forth in the first book
OF the Bible is another corroborative fact
The fact that Jesus Christ set the stamT
OF His approval on It Is still another reason
for believing It. There can be no doubt
that Il Is the work OF God"
