SOCIAL SETTLEMENT is A GO
Articles of Incorporation Drawn and
Signed by Large Number
of PeOpIe.

Since the agitation of social settlement
work in Omaha various plans have been
discussed for such a work by the social
science department of the Woman's club
and the Association of Collegiate Alumnae
Of Omaha until finally decisive steps
have been taken by those interested and
articles of incorporation have been drawn
up under the name of the Social Settle
ment association Of Omaha and contain
the signatures of many of Omaha's prom
inent people
At a meeting held in the library build
ing Thursday night a large number of
those interested in the work was ad-
dressed by Miss Dunlap of the Roadside
Settlement of Des Moines, who has spent
many years in settlement work and the
study of social conditions. ., a...
zone of the principal reasons for the
establishment of social settlement in a
large city" said Miss Dunlap, els the
fact that most of the pablic utilities, ow-
ing to their location, are almost inac-
cessible to the poorer classes" Miss
Dunlap told of the wonderful accomplish
ments Of the Roadside Settlement since
its opening short time ago and those
who have taken advantage of the utilities
offered have numbered as high as 1900
in one week.
Following the address of Miss Dunlap
the articles of incorporation of the Omaha
Settlement association were read, together
with a declaration of principles of the
7 association. The officers of the local as
sociation will be elected from a list of
eighteen directors, a list of sixteen of
whom were read, containing the names of
those prominent in charity work and So
cial problems in the city for a number of
years The official roster will contain

NEW CHURCH FOR THE WEST END
Lots Secured ana Pastor Named for
New Catholic Parish.

Lots Secured ana Pastor Named for
New Catholic Parish.
The erection of a Roman Catholic church
in the western part of the city is now
assured. Three lots, forming the former
homestead of A. c. Harding at the south
east corner of Twenty-third street and
Avenue y, have been purchased and the
building of the church edifice, it is said,
will be begun in the near future.
Rev. John ONeill, chaplain at st. Ber-
nards hospital, has been appointed pastor
of the new congregation and is taking ac-
tive steps toward the erection of suitable
church building. Definite plans for the
proposed cdifice have not yet been made,
but It is said that a building costing about
$4,000 will be erected. The building will
be so planned as to permit Of additions
when necessary.
With the rapidly increasing population in
the western part of the city the need of a
Roman Catholic church in that section has
been felt for some time. Bishop Davis on
his visit to Council Bluffs some time ago
investigated conditions in that section
of the city and gave his consent for the
establishment of a church there. Recently
he appointed Father O'Nenl to the con-
gregation to be gathered there.
The church owns several lots on Avenue
A near Thirteenth street, which were given
by Father McMenomy, a former pastor Of
st. Francis Xaviers church, as possible
site for a church building at some future
date. This property, however was deemed
to be not sufficiently west for the proposed
new church and probably will be sold, the
proceeds to be used in the erection Of the
new edifice.

BANK R0BBER OFF THE MAP
Man who Tries to Dynamite Safe
in Arkansas BIOws His
Head on.

GENTRY, Ark, March 27.-In the futile
attempt to blow open the safe of the Farm
ers bank of Springtown, near here, early
today, the head of one of the robbers was
blown from his shoulders by a premature
explosion of dynamite. The body of the
dead robber was found in the bank near
the safe. In his pocket was a map show
ing Gentry, Springtown and Sulphur
Springs marked with crosses. Banks at the
two latter places have bean robbed lately
and the police are led to the belief that
the same gang attempted to rob the Farm
ers bank today. The identity of the dead
roober has not been established.

DIES MONIES. March H.-(Special)-
Money in the general revenue fund of the
state treasury is continually increasing
and 1t is believed that there will be no
danger Of warrants having to be stamped
for lack of funds till the next legislature
meets at least. The balance in the fund
at present is above the danger line State
Treasurer Morrow has addressed letters
to all the county treasurers of the state
asking them to forward as soon as possi-
BILE the amount due the state from the
state tax or as much as is on hand, so
that the funds will be in good shape
There will be low condition of the rev.
enue fund in October of this year, but
with the knowledge in advance that the
funds will run low at that time, State
Treasurer Morrow is confident that he can
avoid danger of the funds running out
and having to stamp warrants.
If the state treasurer had been able to
anticipate conditions there would have
been less danger during the period that
is just passing. During the last few
weeks of 1907 there was an extra heavy
drain on the general revenue fund and
the receipts were extra light. This con-
dition was beyond all expectation and
hence no preparation was made for it,

There is no possibility of making

and campaign predictions are as en-
Enthusiastically large as political effer-
vel cence will permit.
Governor Hoke Smiths campaign
management is claiming the election
by a majority of 10000 votes. Joseph
n. Brown being his only opponent, Il
WOULD, Of course, never do to admit
that he was going 10 get only the
meager $4,000 majority by which he
was nominated two years ago. So the
claim is jumped up $4,000 votes, and
tC back it reports are secured from
various sections of the state as to ma
jorities which. his friends are claiming
il. different counties.
Little Joe" Browns friends are
claiming that his majority will be any
here from 10000 to $4,000, and they,
too, have reports from supporters in
practically every county on which
they base their assertions. They
figure on holding practically the same
vote. that was cast against Governor
Smith two years ago, or something
Ike 80 per cent Of it. If their claims
are justified that would give them 62,
600 votes to start with. Then they
are counting on the labor vote, the
Cpulist vote and others which were
cast for Gov. Smith in the primary OF
1906.
Conservative politicians, however
consider that both sides are much Ov-
ereStimating the situation. Some OF
IL EN- contend that the situation is SO
close as to make it practically impOs-
sible to figure on the result, and that
the majority will be, whoever wins
under 10000 votes, One of these who
has travelled the state over, thinks
Brown will win by 10000 to $4,000
vo ties and there are those who holo
that Gov. Smith will get small ma
rority.

There seems to be report all over the
county that il Mr.. John L. Edwards
l. elected sheriff of Marion county
tl:at, he, Mr.. Edwards, will not be the
Sheriff, but that l, myself will be the
sin, riff. There has never been one
wcrd between US or intimation to the
effect that should Mr.. Edwards be
elected sheriff that / would even hold
q deputy's position under him. The,
above report is absolutely without
Foundation and the spreader of same
could possibly have no other motive
but to mislead you TO the extent that
you would vote for the other man. Yes,
