WOMEN RESPOND TO CALL
Troops Need Not Want for Nursing nor

TO AID THE SOLDIIRS ANY TIME
Baintmtlon of General Mandernon
Find * 'Many Supporter * Among ;
the Women' * Ilcllcf Corp *
In Omaha. i
The sugeitlod made by General Manderson
In an Interview with The Bee that the
women of the country should form a volun
teer women's relief corps baa been cn-
'tbuslastlcally ' received by the members of
the Women'i * Relief corps , the feminine aux
iliary of the Grand Army of the Republic ,
In this city , So general Is the sentiment
In favor ot the plan that all three of tte
local corps Intend to discuss It t their next
meetings , and the outcome will probably be
the formation of some body such at sug
gested.
If the services of such a corps should ever
bo needed In the field , one or more can be
Ttadlly and easily raUcd la this city. A
largo number of women have stated that they
would be more than willing to go to the
oH of warfare and render whatever asstot-
-anco Uiey can to the soldiery. If not needed
In the field , they are willing to render as
, much help as they can from their homea.
Mr . George B. Eddy , president ot U. S.
Grant corps , Is very enthusiastic over the
.plan. She said yesterday : "It Is Just
such a thing as Is needed , and I fear will be
much needed before the clcec of the war.
That was brought home to all of us by the
departure of the mllltla from this city. I
certainly consider that It Is a most excellent
suggestion. I am heartily in favor of it
and I propcso to bring It up , before our next
corps meeting.
"Juit at the present time such a corps
would not bo needed In the field , but It could
upend Its time In making preparations. I
would suggest that the women Who would
join In the movement should save their old
linen , make bandages out of It and In other
ways accumulate articles that will be needed
by cur soldiers In the field. It would be too
late to do these things when the soldiers are
actually engaged in lighting. Then , If It Is
neeJed.a corps of women could bo sentou/tlnto /
the Held. There would T > e trouble about rais
ing such a corps in this city. I know of at
least fifty women among my own acquaint
ances alone , who woull be more than willing
to do their patriotic duty In this respect.
MAY MAKE IT NATIONAL.
"I would suggest that the movement be
taken up by the Grand Army of the Republic
Woman's Relief corps , as any loyal woman
may Join that. Later , If It Is necessary , a
epirato organization could be formed. This
should bo national In scope. I thlok U
would bo a good plan to sen 1 letters
throughout the country , calling upon the
women to join in the plan. A central com-
mlttco should be appointed to direct opcra-
tlcus. This committee could gather together
contribution of bandages , clothing and other
nccERsltlcu and could also have charge of the
furvl of money that would be needed , which
mlgU be raised by contributions from
women. "
( Mis. O. S. Remington , president of Custer
cnrro , was also much taken with the Idea.
She propones to bring It before her corps In
the near future. She said : "I think It Is a
most excellent plan. I bad not thought of
any plan of operation , as I considered It
best to leave that to the corps. I believe
that the matter should be considered at
once In order that a corps might bo raised
Immediately to make the necccaary prepara
tions. There wlllvnot be the slightest diffi
culty In securing the rcqulrc'd volunteers. "
Mr * . John Jeffcoat thought the suggestion
of General Manderson , an admirable one.
"Women are the ones -to take "care of the
flick and wounded soldiers , " she said. "Men
are not gentle enough. Besides that , a wo
man will bo able to eiiay much better than
A man the feeling ot homesickness that a sick
loldlcr will experience. There will be a
great amount of work for such a
corpi , I fear. It will not consist eo much
In taking care of wounded ee of sick eol-
dlcra , because our troops are likely to lull
victims to southern diseases because ot the
fact that they will not be acclimated. Tbero
will be no difficulty to raising a corps In this
city , , and It will be composed of just auch
women as did ( lie magnificent work during
the civil war. "
Mrs. R. S. Wllcox and Mr . W. H Christie
considered the plan an excellent one , anl
eald that the services of some such corps
.would be absolutely necessary should land
troope bo called' upon to battle .They also
stated trut more tban sufficient women to
form such a corps would be raised in the
city wl.fiout trouble ,
TECUMSBH , Nob' . . .April 28. ( Special
Telegram. ) It Is quite probable that the la
dles of Tccumseh are the first In the state
If net In thtt country to organize for the
purpose of lending alslstance to Unco ? Sam's
soldiers when they shall go forward to bat
tle li Cuba. The Hugh LaMaster Aid so
ciety was organized here toJay with a
niumbortitilp of thirty. The society wai named
in honor of Captain Hugh LaMaster ot the
Tccumseh company of state militia , now
encamped In Lincoln. The object ot the
joclety will bo to extend such assistance to
the soldiers as possible after the boys be
come actually engaged.

Advisory Ilonril CrltleUe * ( he Connie
of the I.t-KUIntlvc llody.
The advisory board did a vast amoun't of
talking and transacted very llttlo business
t Its meeting yesterday afternoon. The
principal discussion was over one or two or
ders from the city council by which the
Board of Public Works was ordered to de
lay action In the construction ot permanent
sidewalks which the council had previously
ordered. How this matter had anything to
do with the Advisory board was cict apparent ,
but the members took hold of It r.nyway and
eeveral of them expressed themselves very
vigorously In criticism of tlio action cf the
council In ordering sidewalks and then tryIng -
Ing to rescind the order after some of their
constituents regtstcreJ a protect. The ma > or
took the position thalt a concurrent resolu
tion ordering a sidewalk could not bo Invali
dated by a plain resolution anJ he dlrectc-1
the city engineer to go ahead and lay the
walks. The communication cf the building

OMAHA , April 28. To the Editor of The
'Bee : The buvlncns men of Omaha find upon
Investigation that the Omaha Guard * and
Thuniton niflcn , who hayc suddenly been
called to the front , have been obliged to
Icavo an Indebtedness ot from. $1,000 to
$1,200.
Wo believe , under the circumstances , the
citizens of Omaha will gladly contribute
thin amount , which Is needed to pay for
equipments , rents and moneya borrowed.
This eum will wipe out all Indebtedness ot
both companies and when they return they
will bo free from debt.
We respectfully ask you to open your col
umns for a popular subscription , and the

The I3eo will be pleased to comply with the
request made In this letter. The fund begins
with $10 ; contributed $7.60 from the surplus
of the money raised for the farewell demon
stration to the guardsmen , and a subsequent
subscription of $2.50 from C. 0/Pearso.
Honorary and associate members of the
Omaha Guards and Thurston Illfles have set
on foot a movement to maintain the organlza-
tlqn of both companlea as It has always
stood , during the absence of the soldiers from
home. The first step looking to thia
end has already been taken by
the reeerveo of the Rifles , who ,
at a meeting Wednesday night , appointed a
committee of five , of which Cadet Taylor Is
chairman , on permanent organization. Mem
bers of the Guards who are at home will
take a similar step Immediately and noth
ing will bo left undone nv either cjbmmlttco
to keep up the armories and preserve the
property of the organizations during the absence -
sonco of the boys.
The first Important detail of this move
ment will bo attended to by a Joint com
mittee of the military bodies. It 1a with
reference to ( Uo Indebtedness of
the companies , the aggregate amount of
which Is In the neighborhood of $1,000. At
a meeting held at noon In the armory of
the Rifles this committee was appointed as
follows : B. A. McAllister. C. W. Hull and
II. W. Stoutenborough oft the Guards and
P. W. Richards , C. A. Tracy and D. H.
Christy of the Rifles The plan Is to clr-
culito through this Joint committee a sub
scription paper among the mer
chants of the city for money
to lift the Indebtedness of both com
panies In this manoer. Nearly all of the
boys who have gone 'to ' the front left good
positions to answer the call for volunteers
anJ as their pay as soldiers will not he
more than their private needs will dm.nnd ,
It Is clear to those who are looking after
their home affairs that they caiiont afford to
assume the responsibility of tiio Indebted
ness. With this cleared up the members \\ho
reamln at home promise to malnta'n ' the or
ganizations until the soldiers return home.
Already the merchants who have been
asked to subscribe to this measure have re
sponded liberally and as a result the Joint
committee feels encouraged In Its efforts
to keep the organizations together during
the absence of the mllltla. Other meetings
have been called to arrange further details
of the Joint committee work and when the
plans are outlined definitely there will be a
mass meeting of the members of both com
panies who are home for the purpose of In
structing the committee as to Us future
duties , and also defining the power and au
thority of the committee on. organization ot
each body. The , general plan Is to have ,
the latter committees work as much as PCS-
slble as a Joint organization for mutual Inj
terests. , '

AT THE 1HOTELS.
W. P. Jenklna of Ghclago , who is In Omaha
on business , was at Galveston , Tex. , on
February 15 , the day the Maine was de
stroyed la Havana harbor , and spent part
ot the day on board the- American gunboat
Nattivllle. . Mr. Jenklna eays 'the Nashville
was ordered 'previous ' to tbat itlme' fo make
a cruise/ -the Mediterranean , much to the
sorrow of the officers , and , although aftalro
were not especially hot in Cuba at that
time , the crew of the Nashville received
orders to remain alone the gulf and eastern
coast of the United States. These orders ,
said Mr. Jenkins , were hlgbly acceptable to
Ecsign Gharardt and other officers on tbe
beat. They cxprceaeJ a desire to engage
In any struggle that might come about
between Spain and the United States , and
seemed to feel that there would bo trouble
In a ehort time. That night the Maine was
blown up and things have gone from bad
to worse until the Nanhvllle captured the
Bucna Ventura and entered actively Into Uie
struggle.
"Tho sugar beet Industry of Nebraska
baa been injured considerably by the talk
of annexing Hawaii , " said S. C. Baseett ot
Gibbon. "In the country surrounding tbe
Grand Island refinery there are not nearly
as many beeti planted as there were last
year. The reason ot the light planting Is
thto : The Grand Island refinery men wanted
to make contracts with the farmers In
which It was stipulated that they would give
$4 a ton for the beets In case- Hawaii were
not annexed , and If annexation took place
they would give only $3.50. Thin agree
ment wea unsatisfactory to many of the
beet raisers , and .hey put In otticr crops.
The beet Industry has been Influenced o
largely by political moves .that It Is not as
satisfactory1 as It might have been other
wise. ( The government bounty which was
withdrawn , dnd later the state bounty , which
was never paid , have militated against the
firm establishment of the Industry. At a
fair price the crop is one tlat Is good { or
the producer , but with ao many uncertainties
threatening the prlco of beets the growth of
the Industry will be slow. "

Jfoaut WeltsDee.
The welt on a shoo is the part whore the solo is
joined to the upper and it is the solo point i11 a 8 08
that has undergone radical ehangeTin the last twen
ty years. Twenty years ago all welt's had to be sew
ed by hand. A fellow named Goodyear thought
hand work was too slow to suit him and ho invented
a machine which imitated , hand work so closely that
it took an expert to toll the difference. Even today
in fake stores and bankrupt stocks and "yellow"
shoe shops shoes in the Goodyear welts are offered
for hand sewed. While a Goodyear welt is equal to
hand sewed it d posn't. make a shoe wear. In order to
get good wear the stock lias got to bo
good. ' There is no better shoe on earth for the mon
ey than our Goodyear welt at $2.50. It is made from
specially selected stock. There are plenty of Good
year welts sold for less money , but the difference is
in the stock , not in the welt. Wo sell other welted
shoes at § 1.25 , § 1.50 , § 1.75 and $2.00 , but they are
not Goodyear welts and they will not wear like our
Goodyear welts. We want your shoe money and
we will give you good value for it , but we won't lie
to get it and we won't Hell you a § 2,00 shoe for § 2.50
even if it has a Goodyear welt. Some mighty poor
shoes are made with a Goodyear welt.
