yesterday at the club rooms ana SeleCleu |
e. b. Brown permanent secretary of the
organization. The position Of secretary has
been open for two months or more The
selection Of Mr.. Brown insures man of
energy at the head OF the organization.
The club will probably enjoy a revival Of
Interest, as there are many things in which
the members are greatly interested which |
need the push and energy OF such an or
ganization behind them.
The Commercial club has a permanent
secretary, but a presiding officer pro
tempore is selected for each meeting. The
object Of this arrangement Is that the mem
bers will feel more personal responsibility
for the action Of the club than would be
the case 10 a great deal Of the management
Of affairs were left to a president.
Before the meeting yesterday portion OF
the membership took luncheon at the Greer
hotel
Mile Arlice Arraigned.
Mile Arlice was arraigned on the charge
Of murder in the first degree yesterday for
the alleged killing of his two fellow
countrymen Anton Cancer and Ivan NilSo-
lie, Sunday afternoon, August T. He heard
the reading Of the complaint and its mean
ing was explained to him. Then, on advice
OF his attorney, he waived preliminary
anu was nelQ lOI
by the district court without bail. Arlice
| is an inveterate smoker of cigarettes and
shows some symptoms of mental aberra-
ton. The South Omaha police have been
watching him closely to see that he did
not do violence to himself or others
Wednesday he spent part Of the day yell
ing in dismal fashion in the lone cell
of the city Jail. He has been confined in
a cell separate from the other prisoners.
! Chicken Thieves Bound over.
Ed Barker and Hatty Whitley were bound
over to the district court yesterday under
$500 bonds for the alleged stealing Of chick
ems belonging to George Riddles at Twenty
seventh and Y streets. The witnesses for
the state testified in the examination, but
the defense waived it's case and the men
we're bound over without sprlnging the
unique story of the visit to the Dahlman
meeting and the consequent intoxication
and the joke Of being thrown over a board
fence among the chickens, as was gravely
told by Barker on the morning Of his
arrest. This is the first case under the
new law on record in Douglas county
Neither man furnished bond and they were
committed to the county Jail.
Many Dinner Parties at Club.
Social events at the South Omaha Coun-
try club were more than commonly numer-
GUS and important Wednesday and Thurs
day afternoon and evening. Wednesday
afternoon Misses Nora and Cherry ONei
entertained forty-five little guests at q
dinner party. The tables were decorated
with marigolds and presented very lively
appearance. The little girls were nearly
all dressed in white with blue sashes and
presented a charming scene of bright young
life. They had music and recitations and
little dances which were finely executed
with little assistance from older heads.
Thursday nearly 100 dinners were served
during the evening by numerous entertain
ers among the club members. These func
tons have become very popular this yea
and the success OF the club has dependeC
: largely on the interest thus developed. Tn
usual number of golfers was out yesterda,
: afternoon. The dance Of the evening wa
unusually well attended.
