ASSOCIATION IS ACTIVE.
Three New Glasses Formed to Promote
PrOVident Work.

Organization of classes for practical
nurses, who will be given a special
course in diet work, is the plan OF the
Provident association, according to
General Secretary Guy T. Justis. This
plan will be instituted as soon as suf-
ficient number have enrolled to carry
on the work.
Trained nurses from Christ's and
Stormont hospitals will take their diet
work at the association roms, thus
helping to carry on the project which
will be given impetus with the specific
intention of giving training to those not
who are in need only Of the dietetics
to become proficient as practical
nurses
The latter after a short series of
training are enabled to care for the
convaIescent and the majority of them
receive a salary of from ten to twelve
dollars per week. The graduate nurse
who generally receives about $25 often
proves too expensive when the patient
is not in a serious condition, and II Is
for Just such cases that the practical
nurse developed by this course of train
ing is designed.
The organization of a class in domes-
tic science for the education of provi-
dent colored girls was effected late yes
terday with an enrolment of about one
dozen who will meet each Saturday
morning at $50 o'clock for instruction
The initial meeting of the class Will be
held next saturday.
In conjunction with this work in
struction in sewing will be given. 1t is
the aim of the association to furnish
practical instruction to a class of peo-
pie who never reach the high school.
and who never have the benefit of this
kind of school work.
Beginning next Monday the Boys
club will resume operations in charge
of Smith Bishop, a student in Wash
burn college. 1t will meet each Mon
day, Wednesday and Thursday night,
and will carry a school of instruction
for the street urchin, which is intended
to be instructive both from moral
and an educational standpoint.

EVANDORF'S TROUBLES.
Santa Fe Employe Must Suffer for
Stealing a Little Solder.

Charts Evandorf, the Santa Fe en-
ploye who was arrested Wednesday for
stealing solder on complaint of the
Santa Fe secret service department, is
not the aged man which he has been
pictured, according to the Santa Fe Of
ficials.
The official records of the Santa Fe
shops shows that Evandorf has been
with the Santa Fe off and on since
1891, but that he has not worked long
at any one time. having quit his posi-
ton three or four times and com
menced again. In the past eighteen
years he has been off the Santa Fe pay
roll at least forty per cent Of the time,
and his present employment dates only
from 1905. He is employed in the tin
shops, as a timers helper and occa-
sionally works in the scrap gang in the
yards According to the information
furnished the Santa Fe officials by him
self. at the various times when he has
started work, he is only A years old,
instead of 81 as has been reported.
From his record. it is learned that
two years ago he was caught on the
same complaint of stealing solder, but
at that time, the secret service depart
ment of the road decided, on his prom
Use of good behavior, not to prosecute.
No action has been taken in his case
as yet by the Santa Fe officials.
Investigation conducted today brought
out the statement that Charles Evan
dorf, arrested on a charge Of stealing
solder valued at $4-O4, was not In need
of money, but is probably suffering
from kleptomania and walked away
with the solder sticks accordingly.
The investigation instituted today
brought out the fact that the home at
500 Lawrence street is owned by the de-
PENDANT, and that his son who holds Il
position here is amply able
to take care of the mother provided
that Evandorf. who has drawn s1.65
day wages. did not do so. A daughter
is married to a local physician, and the
family is respectable.

RAIDED A Dive.
County Attorney Accompanied Officers
to Highland Park House.

Oda Scott's Bon Ton emporium of
LIQUID refreshments was squeezed dry
and Oda was arrested last night by a
Jolly crowd of county officials, including
Sheriff Norton, Deputy Sheriff Judkins,
Undersheriff Bayliss and County At
torney Schenck.
1t was shortly before midnight when
the party drove to the place situated
between Twenty-fourth and Twenty
third streets in Highland Park. A great
extemporeanous comedy was enacted
ir moment. The four advancing men
scurried into the yard-and instantly
began rolling right and left, forward
and backward because the yard was so
full of beer bottles that it took the
officers ter minutes to reach the door.
Two then hurried inside but just as
quickly a score or more of blacks and
whites, male and female. dived out the
windows and the watchers gave chase.

suit is that although two lads, Ernest
