Rare sougenfality and genuine deep affeciion had ong characterized the friendship of the seven and before leaving college they slved to further cement the bonds by the formation o a wisterhood which should have as its sbject the making of a perfect womanhood The result of this action ne of the most seantiful and beneficial the societies of wormen. have that in th n o of cerets of a fac tar THE ORIGINAL SEVEN. mes of the original seven were Ella Stewart, Mary Allen, Allie Cofin, Hattie Briggs, Suclla Pearson, Franc Roads and Alice Bird The constitution of the society was written by. Alice Bird, and from the day when the cath was first administered to the original seven there has been no change In Its ‘wording. The badge was suggested by Allie Coffin. Of the original seven but four remain and they are most enthusiastic of workers for the welfare of the society.

In 1882 a meeting was held in Bloomfield and plans discussed and partly tormulated for a general government and were submitted in the year following to th various chapters then in existence, The next year the annual meeting was held in Fair- eld, and delegates came instructed to formu- te some plan by which those governad could have mome voice in the government. This sulted In the organization of the grand shapter, which has since been changed to the supreme grand chapter, having jurlsdic tion over all P 0. chapters in whatever state or nation. The first to organize a state grand chapter was Nebraska, which now has twelve chapters. Towa came next and numbers forty-five chapters. Missouri followed and has seven chapters.

This was the manner in which the council extricated it- self from the embarrassing consequences of reducing the tax assessment of the property of Councilman Mercer's father. The matter was brought up by the finance commitiee in a report on a petition from fifteen property swners who declared that they were entitled to similar rellef. The committee admitted hat it had done wrong in recommending the reduction of the Mercer tax. It said that sub- sequent investigation had developed that by action the council had reduced the valua of the Mercer property to $458 while the adjoining property w at $S11 and ‘$913 per acre. It recommended that the resolution the assessment was reduced be MERCER TAX. son in tion acre, sessed fore which scinded Mercer took the floor to protest. In the first place he objected to the statement of the committea that the resolution reducing the asscsement was fathered by himself. He de- d that Taylor was responsible for the whole business.

Kennard produced a map of that part of the city, by which he substantiated the fi ures that had been alluded to in the com- mittee report. On roll call the resolution was rescinded, Jaynes, Prince, Edwards and Saunders voted ‘no*" and Mercer was excused from voting.

The plans have been changed so that a part of the area which it was proposed to pave with asphalt will be paved with brick. The tracks of the Fast Omaha motor line cross those of the Sherman avenue line at this intersection and as both lines are double tracked there are three blccks of pavement in the middle of the in tersection which are surrounded by the tracks. As the space between the rails Is paved with brick it was decided that it would be advisable to continue the brick between the tracks. There is no additional expense involved in the change. The bill of the Barber Asphalt for repairing streets during the first six months of 1895 was received and allowed The bill amounted to $9,152.92.
