HONOR TO MISS M'CHEANE
Memorial Service Held for Late
Principal Of Long School.
FRIENDS AND Ex-PUPILS SPEAK
Judge Howard Kennedy Points out
How Good C~itisenship Was
InstIIIcd In Young
Minds.

Those who went to school to her; those
who lived with her; those who worked with
her in the schools. and those who could
speak for the entire city of Omaha, paid
tribute Sunday to Miss Sarah McCheane,
principal of the Long school, who died
New Years day, 1909, after a service OF
over thirty years I'm the Omaha public
schools.
The memorial services, arranged by a
committee of teachers, were held in the
First Presbyterian church at 3 o'clock be-
fore a rostrum which had been decorated
with Easter lilies. The afternoon was dark
and only four small lights illuminated the
building. and this with the music and short
earnest addresses, made the service deeply
impressive.
Superintendent w. NJ. Davidson OF the
public schools presided and in a few words
following the opening prayer by Rev. f. r.
Curry of Calvary Baptist church, the super
intendent praised the life of Miss Nc
Cheane as one typical of those of a genera
ton who sow that another might reap.
He said the death of Miss McCheane
seemed a personal loss to such a very large
number of teachers and friends, that her
influence in the community for twenty
five years was so great ana always for the
good. that the memorial services were most
appropriately arranged.
Judge Howard Kennedy made the address
of the afternoon, and told of being a pupil
under Miss McCheane in 1875 at Central
school, which is now the Omaha High
school.
II cannot now tell you how much of
such studies as reading, writing and arith-
metic l acquired under Miss McCheane,"
said Judge Kennel.
Education does not consist of pouring
in a lot of facts. regardless of how syste-
matically they are arranged, but It con-
sists OF a drawing out and a development
Of the child himself.
This was Miss McChesne's plan OF
work, not to FIJI little heads with facts
soon TO be forgotten. but to train little
lives for good citizenship.
~ think the lesson from Miss McCheane's
life is that friendship pays. She was a
ates in the schools and Of hundreds put
side. If there is any one thing to be
singled from her many virtues 1t was her
friend ship for mankind"
Miss Martha l.. Powell read a brief
tribute I'm Memoriam,' speaking as one
who lived and worked with Miss McCheane
for a number of years. Miss Powell is the
present principal of Long school, the school
which Miss McCheane served for a quarter
Of a century.
Teachers often wonder who associated

NOT READY TO TRY CASES
Gases Scheduled to be Heard by Jury
at the October Term Will All
Go Over to the January Term
of the Court,
(From Wednesdays Daily

There will be no jury term of the
Municipal Court in October as Judge
Randall handed down a formal order
this morning indefinitely postponing
the jury term which was to have open
ed in his court on next Monday morn
ing and all of the cases noticed for
trial by jury at this term will go
over to the January term of the court.
The judge took this action on account
of the fact that the attorneys in
charge Of both criminal and civil
cases slated for hearing at the term
were not ready for trial and he held
that it would be a useless expense to
call a jury Of So men to hear possibly
one or, two cases. There are nine
state cases on the calendar, but none
of the defendants are in the county
jail and their bonds will be arranged
to contine until the opening Of the
January term on the first Monday in
January. The only other case for the
jury is for divorce action and this
may be taken up by the court.
All Of the cases scheduled to be
heard as court cases will be taken up
beginning on Monday, the only cases
going over being those scheduled to
be heard by a jury If the work piles
up in the court rapidly during the next
three months the coming January term
of the court will be almost as import
ant as a term of the Circuit Court.
The names of the jurors drawn to serve
at the October term will be put back
into the box again and they will have
a chance with other Jurors to be drawn
for the January jury service. AS
Judge Randall anticipated that the at
torneys would not be ready for the
trial of cases on next Monday morning
he had withheld the serving of jury
subpoenas and as a result there will
be absolutely no cost to the county in
the laying over of the jury term.
Among the cases on the calendar
were the State VS.. Edward Bode and
Anna Lucicch, charged with adultery
State VS.. Peter Aceto, charged with as
sault with intent to kill; State VS..
Paul Hecker, charged with gambling !;
State VS.. Levi Orvis, charged with as
sault with intent to 60 great bodily
harm; State VS.. Henry Geller, charged
with killing horse; State VS.. Adam
Holzemer, charged with seduction, and
the State VS.. Harold Gozeline, charged
with grand larceny. The defendants
in all of these cases expressed a will
ingness to have the hearing in the cases
laid over for an indefinite period or. at
least until the first week in January.

Jurists and Attorneys Find
Many Changes in Divorce
Laws III isconsin
PAY ALINoNy TO THE COURT

Circuit and Municipal Court judges
and attorneys throughout the state are
studying up the divorce laws passed
by the last legislature as so many
changes were made in the laws which
had been in vogue so many years.
One of the notable changes made is
that hereafter all alimony must be
paid to the clerk of courts, and not to
the attorney for the husband who is
paying the alimony, as has been the
custom heretofore. And if the ali
mony gets in arrears, the clerk Of
courts is instructed to notify the dis
trict attorney at once and he gets
busy right away and sees that the ali
mony is paid.
All this is more or less an out
growth Of the new divorce law, passed
at the last session of the Wisconsin
state legislature, requiring the dis
trict attorney to have representative
from his Office present at the trial of
every divorce action.
There have been instances where
husbands have paid alimony to their
attorneys and the attorneys have for
gotten to turn it over to the needy
wives. Under the new rule such a
thing will no longer be possible.
In common courts it has been de-
termined that the calendar judge will
hear all motions and proceedings other
than trial in divorce actions, such as
motions for alimony, motions for con-
tinuance, injunctions against modest
ing, matters pertaining to visiting
children given into the custody of
wife or husband, etc. No other judge
is to have anything whatever to do
with divorce cases except to try un-
contested cases. About nalf the di-
eorce cases that come up in the Cir
cult Court are not contested. The
new rule will serve to expedite di-
vorce business in the courts and clear
the general calendar of many actions
that have dragged.

ELDEST GIRL MARRIED HERE
Is Now the Wife of Frank Younts.
Formerly of Kenosha, and Does Not
Desire to Return to Her Father
Other Sister in Chicago.

A complete solution is found in re-
gard to the whereabouts of Bernice
and Blanche Wolland, the daughters
of L. W. Wolland of Chicago, for
whom the police of Kenosha have been
searching for several days and the solu-
ton Of the mystery shows that both
of the young. ladies are being we'll
cared for. Blanche Wolland is not
in Kenosha but with her mother in
Chicago at the present time while her
sister, Bernice Wolland, is married to
Frank Younts, well known in Kenosha
and is living with her husband at Be-
lott, Wis. The Wolland girl and
Frank Younts formerly met at the
home of the late Charles Younts on
Congress street in this city and for
this reason the father got an idea that
the young woman was still in Kenosha.
Several letters were mailed to him DUR
ing the visits made by his elder daugh-
ter to Kenosha.
The friends of the two girls when
found this afternoon by representatives
of the Evening News claimed that the
two girls and their mother were not
keeping out of the way of any one
but their father, but that they did not
care to have him learn of their present
whereabouts. It is admitted by these
girls that the relations between the
girls, their mother and the father, have
not been any too peaceful and for this
reason the mother apl the one daugh.
ter are not giving the father ehanea
to find who're they are, but Mrs.
Younts, under the protection of her
husband. has no objections to her
father learning the whole story.

Former Kenosha Woman To
Be Special Laborer for
Associated Charities
LONG Interested IN NEW YORK

Mrs. Louise Wood Van Wyck, widow
of the late Howard Van Wyck and a
former Kenosha woman, has been en-
gagged to act as a special secretary of
the associate charities in Milwaukee
at salary of ST, 800 a year. Mrs.
Van Wyck is now living at Marriet-
ia, Ca, but she is expected to come
north in order to take up the duties of
her new position by the 18th of next
month. Mrs. Van Wyck is daugh-
ter of the late Peter Wood, q. pioneer
manufacturer of Kensha and spent
much of her life in Kenosha. Since
the death of her husband who was a
son of the late Judge Anthony Van
Wyck of this city and former city
attorney of Milwaukee, Mrs Van
Wyck has been making her home at
Marietta. Her selection to the i'm.
portant post in the charity work Of
Milwaukee viii come as a complete
surprise to her, but it is thought that
she will accept the Office.
During the few years in which she
resided in Milwaukee Mrs. Van WICK
took a great interest in the charity
work of that city and was leader
in several of the most important chart
table organizations. She was chair
man of the committee which secured
the passage of the juvenile court bill
for Milwaukee, chairman Of the Child
ren's Betterment League, active in the
formation of the Busy Boys Club and
one of the promoters Of the Wisconsin
Farm Home for boys. It was while
she was engaged in these different
movements that she became acquainted
with the work that is being done by
the Milwaukee charitable organizations
and she showed such great executive
abilities that when it was decided
that high class secretary was needed
to carry on the work she was at once
suggested
The friends of Mrs Van Wyck in
Kenosha will be pleased to know that
she will come north to live and that
she will take up work which is so
congenial to her.
