Mr. T, of the Assoc 600 families L. Kimball explained the worling ated Charities. He saia that now being helped, and that thus far no meritorious applications haa been refused.

Mr. Rush advocated turning over all funds rased to the Associnted Charities for dis- tribution, in order td o wholly satis- factory und impartial el on a business system that has already commended it- self. Chairman Yates thought it would be well to issue supplies to the various charitable organizations on request and reauire from them daily or weekly reports. He had been particularly impressed with the system of chavity dispensation conducted under the direction of Dr. Duryea W. A. Roberson put in a good word for Rescue hall and thought an iinmense amount of good could be done by aiding that institu- '“ill‘ Clarke wanted the assistance that iight be given so rendered as to not wound the feelings of unfortunate persons, and that it be not given as charity, as that tended to inculcate a spirit of indolence. He favored the plan pursued by Dr. Duryea. C. . Weller was satistied that the com- mittec would be imposed on if it attempted to look after the disposition of the funds, and thought 1t better to raise all the money possible and turn it over to the Associated Charities. Comuittee Will Handle Funds. After some discussion, participated in by Thomas Kilpatrici, -Dr. Miller, Mr. Yates and Mayor ann it was decided to have the ens' relief committee handle all funds and to honor all requisitions for help. In order t o guard against duplicate cases it was decided to refer ull requests to the Associated Charities for endorsement afd Yecord. Requests from any charitable ov- ganization or relief socicty will_also receive attention. Mayor Bemis urged immediate action and a scarcity of red tape methods. A wiotion was unanimously carried to donate ¢ cords of wood to the As ated vities and 200 loaves of bread per day to ue hall at once. Henry W. Yates, the chairman, was authorized 1o respond to all requests deserving of attention which may be reported before the committec meets again next Saturday at noon. ‘After consideration of methods of raising A popular subscription to relieve every deserving case of poverty in the city and se afund to alleviate suffering during the entive winter. the following committee was appointed to soliclt o eharity fund: Charles F.

Forty determined, happy and strong-armed men formed tne little procession that wended its way to Coal creek shortly after 7o'clock yesterday morning, there to earn money to buy bread with which to satisfy the hungry cravings of wives and children, Coal creek is just west of Benson place and is where the county commissioners have decided to expend severdl thou- sand dollars n grading a road dur- ing the remainder of the winter months. While the grading of this road, known as tho Elkhorn turnpike, is a necessity, the prime object 15 to furnish employment to the laboring men of the city who are in des- titute circumstances and are anxious to turn a penny in an effort to aid themselves and their families. Several days ago Tne Bee outlined the plan of the work and the manner in which tho commissioners intended to procecd. “This has been carried out to the letter, and yosterday forty men were hard at worls, with fa strong possibility that the nnmber will be doubled toda At Coal creek, which is Just west of the city limits, there ave threo ‘enormous hills, with deep ravines between, Joor years this has been the main road lead- ing {uto the city from the northwest, but on account of the steep hills and the narrox and deep gollies, it has been next to_impa; able.

That more water for our crops than they now get in the regular way is necessany, is a fact that will admit no longer of dispute. .

I offer the assertion with- out fear of dispute that no country on the broad round world can show a better crop vrospect than this in the early part of the growing season. It simply challenges the ad- miration of munkind, and paints ereen with envy the citizen of any other section. But fora few weeks in July and August, when Old Sol sends forth his warmest ray shooting the mercury up against the top of the thermometer, rolling back the leaden clouds and spiking the guns of heaven's artillery, our country is the peer of any part of the universe. It is then, however, when the farmer’s unrequited toil for the summer is rewarded with disappoiutment; it 1s then when the promising tields of waviug grain, thirsting for driuk, wither ana blast, and it is then when the ingenuity of man shouid come to the rescue and with the means ready command apply the remedy and save the day.

The commonest laborer is proud of his handiwork after a perusal of Burns, There was a time when to be a Scotchman was not a_thing to be proud of. Wars, removals of national emblems and disloyalty of the men of let- ters put the spirit of patriotism at low ebb. Burns succeeded in reviving 1t.

The theme “The Land We Left and the Land We Live In” was to desqribe the Scotch in their native land, their struggles for existence which made their wen somowhat wiulent and cautious, and which had “Canny Scotch.” A short description of the coun- try was given, and the frugal habits of 1ts people dwelt upon.

Mrs. Alexander has had a remarkable ex perience with the mortgage men. She hus in the last two years paid 27 intercst on an original loan of §10 and still has a claim of #8.50 of the principal against her and has her furniture mortgaged as security for the payment of the amount. Oppression Discovered, The Alexanders live on the alley between teenth and Seventeenth and Ohio and Corby streets. The family consists of an aged husband and wife and several children. T'wo years ago, in November, 1801, Mrs, Al- exander was driven, by reason of continued sickness in her family, to mortgage her seanty stock of furniture and houschold ef- fects for §10. In securing this she went to the oftice of Fred Terey in the Ramge block, and gave a note for §10 payable toa man named Burroughs at Bellevue, and as secur- ity gave the usual wortgage on her property s note was an innocent affair, simply ng for interest at the rate of 10 por per annum? But there were incident: features that cut quite a figuro in the | ment of the claims. Mrs. Alexander had a very serious time of it for the | two years.

"DON T BORROW TROUBLE.” 'TIS CHEAPER IN THE END. It needs no interior decorator to make one realize that the true effoct in a bed chamber should be synonymous with its character as an apartment for REST. The color scheme, the hang- ings, the furniture, and the light should all be studied with this end in view. For a light, dainty, neat set, there is no wood that has the call over White Maple. It is hard and close-fibred, very free from color contrasts in its grain and takes a lustrous polish. We show here a most inexpensive study in White Maple. The head board is high and has a neatly carved {rieze at the top. Tho bureau has a fine toilet glass. The entire set is finished with a care and exactness raraly seen except in expensive furni- ture. This month we have inaugurated our midwinter price list to continue for the next six weeks. Itis the best season of the year for making purchasos. Chas.
