LINCOLN THE SCENE OF THE CONVENTION Progress ot the Orgauization in the State Explained and Its Objects Eloquently Dwelt Upon—Detalls of the Session. LixcoLy, Oct. 28.— [Special to Tie Bes.]— The eighth annual session of the Young Women's Christian association of Nebraska is in session in this city, there being a large attendance of delegates from all parts of the state. The first or preliminary sessions were held yesterday afternoon and evening and the business of the convention proper commenced this mornlng. Yesterday afternoon the convention was called to order at 3 o’clock by Miss Helen Barnes, the exercisos opening with the sing- ing of the associated hymn, “Blest Be the Tie that Binds.,” Miss Barnes tben con- ducted a brief but animated devotional service, Tho delegates to the convention were wel- comed to the city in au eloquent address by Miss May Brawn of the Wesleyan univer- sity. The response was made by Miss Eliza- beth Allen of Doane college at Crete, who incorporated in her address & thoughtful uper on “The Position of the Young ! omen’s Christian Association in the Col- ege.” Next came a symposium on *“The Rela- tions of the Association to Other Organiza- tions.” Mr. Frank Cook spoke of the broad- uness of the association work in its spirit and aims, and also said that it was the most practical in its methods of reaching and in- teresting unconverted girls, Dr. Paine, who respondea for the Epworth league, en- couraged the convention by helpful words, Mr. Le Grand Baldwin, president of the Young Men’s Christian association, wel- comed the convention on behalf of that or- ganization, Rov. L. P. Ludden, pastor of the Grace Lutheran church of Lincoln presentea some aspects in regard to the relations of the association to the church. The poiuts of his address were summarized by the secrotary as follows : 1. ‘The Young Women's Christlan associa- tiou is an auxiliary of the church in saving souls and tnis relationship should be mude closer by the extension of the associaiion by the church, 2. They are alike in their methods of work. 8 They deal with the same material. 4. Both seeks to correct defects in the lives of those with whom they deal. 5. They strive to create au interest in spiritual things. Miss Shirley Smith offered a fervent rayer on behalf of an absent member, Mrs, r‘. M. Hull, who is confined to her home by serious illness. Miss ile K. Price, international secre- tary, delivered a well prepared address upon “The \’uuuf Women's Christian Asso- ciation as the Ally of the Church,” her re- marks being listened to with the groatest atteution, Friday Kvenlug's Session. The Friday eveniog session of the Young Women's Christian associstion opened with o song service. Miss Seevers, stale secre- tary of Towa, acted as ““Young Wounen as 8 Power in the Evangelization of the Workd" was the subject of Lhe evening address given by Rov. Mr. Butler pastor of the Congregational church of Omaha. *‘The grandest thing in history is the grip with which the followers of Christ took up the evangelizalion of ihe world,” said he, “'the apostle wanted nolb a spot or & lttle colony, but the whole earth. Them the youug men came and asked for the same; then the young people's societies of the churches, and now Women's Chdlfl‘nn &Mwmh'“h tho same ery, o ages, women were considered too spirit 0o ®ood Lo labor for mankiad, spd were comes the Youug in niches to bes worshiped. Following this came the artistic age when all_women wero angols; if an artist painted an angel it was & woman. Then came a day when woman was thought to be incapacitated for everything because she was an incomplete mortal. First, she had been man’s slave, then his Idol, and now his toy. But while the plummet of God's justice oscillates, it draws nearer and nearer to the line of justice. Woman was not taken from man’s head to rule over him, or from his feet to be trampled on, but from his side to be with him, by his side in the trades, in the professions, mn the schools and ~colleges. “We are turning a new leaf in our soclial economics. As we see the departure of our girls from their homes we wonder whither they are going. Is it to a life of influence for good or to the conurary! As she goes into the business world will she be borne on in the maelstrom of coarseness and bizarre, or will she transform the crudeties and roughness of men into a refinement akin to her own nature? American men are not de- ficient in mind or design, but in heart. When wealth was obtained by war, war was busi- ness, but now wealth is obtained by business and business is war. The intellect of man is like a bowstring to war; fit the samo intei- lect to woman and it is a harpstring, Sphere of Woman. “Woman is at the unit of society—the home. She is largely in the majority as the teachers of our public schools. er musical quality is a power in her hands; so is her position. But the fulcrum of woman's power is her beauty. She is man's helpmeet and beautifler, Young women have the powerto hold and inspire men by their beauty ; but this fulcrum is evanescent and soon passes. So consecrate the young days; make sacred your youth and influence. Be a shield to your ownsex. Stand for integrity for all that is good and delightful.” The second day of the convention opened this morning with a devotional meeting of deep spiritual interest conducted by Miss Lucy Cone of Cotner university. Next came statistics of the associations of Nebraska and annual reports of the stute committee, state treasurer and state secretary, These reports show that though the work of the past year has been heavy and arduous, the outlook for the coming year 1s encouraging. ‘Three sister associations have been organ- ized, making a grand total of fifteen in the state, with a membership of 562, three- fourths of which are working for Christ in the colieges of Nebraska, and thirty of whou are volunteers to be witnesses for Him in the foreign field. ‘The bible hour, conducted by Mrs. Naomi Kuight, brought forth many lessons of hope, faith, trust and future usefuluess from the life of Paul. ‘The summer schools of Lake Geneva, Wis., and Northfield, Mass., were ably represented by Misses Kva Shock and Emma Boose, and Miss Mary Dunn, Views from the summer schools were distributed. Miss Shirley Smith, geaerat cretary of Lincoln Young Wowmen's Christian asso- ciation, spoke on the subject of *Bible Training Classes,” after which the whole convention divided and went ioto bible training classes, conducted by Misses Cady, Dunn, Severs and Smith, where all were c?hm-uul and shown how to become “fishers of men.” Guraxp IsLAxD, Oct. 28.—|Special to Tur Bze|—The postofiice will be moved tonight, says Postmaster Murphy, and it will be moved from the business center of the city to the extreme eastern boundary of the business portion. About three-fourths of the population are opposed to the move and are ,mluy inconvenienced thereby. About one-fourth have beeun fighting for it and will, perhaps, tmlvelll'}xnl- bevetit. For the past mouth a bitter fecling has existed be- tween the east and west enders as & result of the order. Beatuios, Neb., Oct. 28.—(Special to Tug Bk, ] -Owing to diphiberis in the family of T. J.

Brockway Makes an Effort to Com- m toide at Lincoln, Lixcory, Oct. 28.—[Special to Tue BEr.]— O. H. Brockway, the Omaha traveling man whose wife committed suicide by shooting herself in this city one evening early in the week, made an unsuccessful attempt to end his own life at the Capital hotel at about 4 o'clock this afternoon. Since his wife's funeral Brockway has endeavored to brace up, and when seen yesterday was looking much better than on the evening of the tragedy at his nome. This afternoon he was seated in the ofice of the Capital hotel talking to a fellow travelicg man in regard to his fam- ily troubles. He spoke about ending his own life. but his companion thought but little of his remarks. But the conversation was terminated by Brock- way in a sudden and altogether unexpected manner. Pulling a bottle from his pocket he hasuly swallowed its contents. An ex- amination of the bottle proved that it had contained ether ana that Brockway had swallowed enough of the fluid to enable him to leave this vale of woe and tears in very short order. A physician who has an oftice in an adjoining block was hastily summoned. He took in the situation at & glance and re- turned to his office for a stomach pump, Before he could return, however, Brockway was seized with s violent fit of yomiting, during which the poisonous fluid was en- tirely ejected from his stomach. He was removed to a room upstairs. His friens will keep a close watch upon him to prevent a repetition of the rash attempt. May Organize a New Company. It is stated upon good authority that an effort is being qumf\? made in this city to organize a new telephone company in the event that the war between the business men of ¢he city and the Nebraska Telephone company procecds to 50 great s length that the company v il abandon the city, as it will do if it is compelled to make any radical reduction in ius rates. At a meeting held in the office of the Clark& Leonard Investment company last night some forty rep:esenta- tive busiucss and professional men were present. After a long discussion of the matter iv was deeided to make an effory to compel the Nebraskw Telcphone company to make a uniform rate of $4 per month to all subscribers in theeity limits. Tho pres- ent rates range from §4.50 to §7.50. A long list or business and professional men who agree to order their 'phones taken out De. cember 1, providing thit the rate is not low- ered to $4 per monthywas read. No sys. tematic canvass of the city has as yet been made, but it was resalyed to call upon every subscriber in the city and endeavor to induce allto sign the agreement. The following iist of committees Was appoiuted to make the canvass: - Physiciaus, Drs, innett, Simmods ; druggists, B. Howar Rbyter ana L. Shader and W. .G L. Geisthart, E. € agents, 5. W. McDonald, A. D, bankers, C. E. Waito; dentists, Dr. plumbers, H. H. Gaffer, H. H. Dea dealers, . A. Brown; wholesalers Raymond. Fremout otes Frexoxt, Oct. 2. —[Special to Tux Br Old Mr. Lawson, spoken of yesterday as serviug a ninety days sentence in the county jail on bread aud water for drunkeuness, was reloased on a wriv of habeas corpus sworn out before County Judge Plumbeck, Hon. . . Gray volunteered bis services as stloruey. The cornhuskers of this county are re- marking on the great teat of James Hill, who averaged for five days last week on the Turaer rauch, west of this city, 108 bushels and forty-seven pounds per day. From a lelter received from Mrs. A. W. Burr; Ladd ; ad Edwards at Jackson park 1t is learned that the comniiittee of which she is a member is relieved from duty, but that she, with three others, has been chosen to remain and finish up the business. She reports that she may be home the first week in November. HIS WIFE RULED THE RANCH. Experience of an Aged Hastings Citizen with a New Wile. Hastixas, Oct. 28.—([Special to Tae B) —On the 11th of last May, according to a pe- tition filed ‘with the clerk of the district court, Joseph 'I'. Ragland married Mrs. Eliza T. Zimmer, who at that time was a public charge of Adams county, Ragland was 60 years of age and mmer 38, At that time she appeared to be a woman of “good manners, good temper and kindly dgpmmd toward the plaintiff.” It was not long after marriage until he found thatv she had a *‘vile tongue and violent temper.” Ragland was the owner of 160 acres of land and other property, all to the value of about $2,300, and his wife frankly confessed that she married him to obtuin a lien upon his property. On the 18th of August, about three months after marriage, Steve, one of her children by a former husband, used a bootjack on Ragland and made him flee for his safety and take refuge at the home of & neighbor over night. October 81 she de- serted him for good, but managed to run up a nico line of bills against him w0 remind him of the pleasant scenes of his honey- moon, But a short time after his marriage Rag- land walked into the county judge's office and said: **Do you remember that woman 1 got here?” “Yes,” smiled the court at the implication that he was conducting & matrimonial bureau. *Well, she's blazes.” County Judge Burton has {ssued marriage licenses o Henry Cook and Katie Schaefer, and to George Smith and Katie Wagner, well known Adams county people, On the 26th Gustave A. Hanson of Holredge and Miss Abble E. Barnum of Loomis, Phelps county. were married by the court. E. C. Rewick is advertised Lo speak in the interest of the populists on Saturday even- ing, November 4. A three days session of the Board of Supervisors was held this week and a good deal of routine business transacted. The road muddle was taken up and made consid- erably more confused and finally was_left unsetuled. Chairman Lester Wormuth re- moved Supervisor Davis from every commit- tee on which he had been placed, stating that he had bheen totally neglocting the duties of committeeman, and hLe w. re- moved to make way for more public-spirited men. Davis was the independent caudidate for representative a year ngo. County Surveyor C. A. Heartwell is now making a plat of the county, showing all of the county roads and the length of time they have been opened to the public. This plat was ordered by the Board of Supervisors to assist it in setiling the road question, To obtain the requisite information Surveyor Heartwell spent forty-two days in traveling over the county, and covered something like 940 miles of county roads. ‘The Hasulogs Republican comes out this morning in support of the independent county ticket, basing 1its action on the ground that the late county convention did not represent the wishes of the repub- licans. It is being seriously proposed that s mass meeting of the citizens of Adams county be held to devise means and appoint committees to secure the repeal of the present super- visor system. A potition asking the Board of Supervisors to submit the question to a vote of the people at the general election was circulatea and received several hundred siguatures, but the matter was allowed to drop, solely frow the want of interest by those who were agitating the change. The present plan is to call a_meoting and to ap- poiut committeemen with definite territories to secure the 1,200 names LECEsSAFY Lo secure the submission.
