After considerable dlscusMou the coun

WOMEN HOPE FOR BUILDING

MRS. BYERS TO APPEAL THROUGH PULPITS
One PiiNKllilllty U n I nltnl IMIllcc for
Hotli the VotniK Women' mill the
VntitiK Men' (iirlfttliin
.tftMicliitloim.
Those women In whoie phllanthropls
minds Is cherished a project for a woman's
building In Omaha found what they consider
substantial encouragement In the cordiality
with which the Ministerial union received
them yctterday.
The women have been secretly discussing
plans for some time, and yesterday sent a
delegation, composed of Mrs. Clcorge Tllden,
Mrs. W. IV Harford and Mrs. Kmma F.
Bycra, to tho meeting of tho clergymen.
Their mission, however, was only to ask
the privilege of laving beforo the congrega
tions tho work and needs of the Young
Woman's Christian association nnd the mat
ter of the building was brought up by the
mlnlatora themselves, without hint or sug
gestion from tho women. Rev. Hcrlng of
the First Congregatlonnl church launched
It by remarking that the time had como
for Omaha seriously to consider construct
ing what should be distinctly n women's
headiiunriers, and Rev. Trcfi followed with
a pMsto that he had $100 of his own ready
for tho Young Woman's Christian associa
tion any day It should begin the erection of
such n place. Others made remarks equally
cnrouraglng, one expressing confidence In
his congregation's willingness to contribute
at least $500.
Woman's Circuit of Pulpit.
Reverting to tho original mission of tho
callers, the union adopted n resolution to
allow the representatives to address their
several congregations during tho winter.
The plan is for Mrs. Dyers, tho general
secretary, to occupy tho pulpit of each
church ono Sunday evening or morning nnd
show what the association bns done nnd Is
doing; other women of the committee to
pnss through the audience nfterward nnd
distribute subscription blanks and furnish
nuy additional Information thut may be de
sired. It Is said that Mrs. Uycrs will lay par
ticular stress ou tho tacts that tho associa
tion has mndo but few demands on tho
public beforo and thnt it hns grown to
audi proportions that larger quartors nro
absolutely necessary. To substantiate the
former claim sho will show that while tho
association has spent $12,000 during thu last
yenr only $500 of that amount has been re
ceived In subscriptions. As evidence of tho
truth of the other claim sho may tell that
GOO women ore now lunching dally In the
association rooms and that some special
class work has bad to bo given up because
of tho Inadequacy of the quarters.
Thu old lease of tho association rooms,
which nre on the third lloor of the l'axton
block nt Sixteenth nnd Fnrnnm streets, ex
pired Inst October and tho heads of the as
sociation decided to renow for only one
year. On the one floor the organization has
had to arrange n gymnasium In tho rear,
parlors In the front nnd the kitchen In be
tween. Tho partitioning was tho work of
tho association, alt apartments boing In ono
when the place was rented.
.MlKlit Unite with Viiiiiik .lien.
Ono cherished scheme hns been to havo
tho Woman's club and tho Young Woman's
Christian association unlto In tho effort
to have a building erected for both and this
hns been partlcplnrly popular with tho
executives, Mrs. Tllden, who was at tho
head of tho Young Women's Christian asso
ciation, and who la now president of tho
Woman's club, nnd Mrs. Hnrford, who has
In tho course of events traded places yith
her. Thoy ore not blind to tho difficulties
they must encounter, but declare that
Omaha must have a Woman's building
sooner or later, and that It must bo In a
convenient part of tho business district
whero It will bo of real use to those for
whom It Is Intended. Somo of tho old rest-
Tho presentation nnd discussion of tho
proposed N'lnoteenth street slto for tho city
market houso wns tho toplo of chief Interest
nt yesterday's meeting of tho Woman's
club, nnd tho announcement that tho matter
would bo presented by General Mnnderson
aud Huv. 11. C. Hcrlng nttracted n lnrgo
attendance of women nnd not n few men
Interested In the subject.
Learning Into In the day that Ooncrnl
Mnnderson would bo unable to address the
club, Mr. Isaac Congdou was Introduced to
speak In his stend In fnvor of the proposed
Nineteenth street site, Mr. Congdon nsked
that Mr. Hcrlng present his objections to
tho location first, that ho might reply to
them. Mr. Hcrlng began with congratulat
ing thu women on tho Interest they mani
fest not only In this mntter, but In matters
In general that concerned thu public wel
fare, assuring them that It is high tlmo
that someone waked up to tho necessity of
this support, and again congratulated thom
that thoy had so well established themselves
n moral factor In tho city that had to bo
reckoned with. Concerning tho location of
tho market house In the vicinity of tho
public library, ho treated tho matter en
tirely from tho standpoint that its presenco
there, would establish the character nf the
neighborhood1, and ns tho library Is nlrcndy
located thero It behooves tho citizens to
prevent iho erection of a public building,
at least that will naturally nnd necessarily
attract surroundings thnt will be a monaco
to tho public library. Ho said that, from
,nn esthetic standpoint, a market houso Is
not n savory or comely object In Itself and
will not enhance the beauty of tho library
location nnd that It Is time for tho city to
begin to consider this fate of Its building.
Aside from this and even n greater objec
tion nre tho surroundings thnt tho mnrkct
would attract, such ns tho side street sa
loon nnd those who frequent It.
Mr. Congdon snld he appreciate! that ho
represented a prejudiced loentlon, but that
tho club should remember that the public
library is not the only Institution worthy
of consideration and that other Interests
than thoso pertaining to It hud to bo tnken
Into account. He urged thnt slto ns prefer
able to all others proposed on account of
Its central location and Its accessibility
from nil tho enr lines of the city. Ho
summed up tho present character of the
neighborhood ns by no means desirable nnd
Btatcd thnt as Its natural futuro tendency
wns toward second-class retail business, a
market houso would prove Its salvation by
crowding out shops nnd other business of
n less desirable character. As the business
of the market Is over by 10 o'clock In tho
morning, It will occasion no confusion dur
ing tho hours when the library Is most In
uso, alao that tho depth of tho lots would
admit of an nlley nt tho rcur, whero
tenms might drive. This feature, with tho
big sower located beneath tho site, would
admit of tho utmost cleanliness, and do
nway with tho much dreaded refuse of the
market.
At tho conclusion of his adllreis Mr. Her
Ing was called for to answer somo of the
points Mr. Congdon had made, whi;h ho
did, by saying that Judging the city by Its

The Omaha Water company yesterdny
filed with tho city clerk Its bill for tho six
months t tiding December 31. These bills
nro supposed to bo payable on July 1 and
January 1 of each year.
Acccrdlng to the statement rendered tho
city has had tho Bcrvlce of 202 hydrants nt
tho rate of $G0 n year, which for six months
nmounted to $0,060. In addition to these
three Intermediate hydrants havo been
placed at a rate of $10 per month, making
the totnl hill for tho six months $C,07o.
The nmount of tho 1001 levy for water
purposes was $11,443.17 and up to date over
$10,000 has been drawn, so that there re
mains In tho water fund less than $00.
A city olllctal said yesterday that In
order to meet tho payment of this bill the
city would havo to go Into court nnd con
fess Judgment for the nmount of tho bill
nnd permit the sum to bo paid out of the
Judcmont fund.
No additional hydrants have been located
for several months, although the council

Owing to tho Inability of tho water com

judge. In the ca of Mrs. Ucvcrnft
given below, the doctor sentenced her to
about eighteen years of physical punish
ment and misery. But she rebelled

It's a peculiarity
of the cures ef
fected by the use
of Doctor Pierce's
I'nvorite Prescrip

generally cures of
chronic diseases.
A woman suffers
with diseases
peculiar to her srr, she takes medical
treatment, gets no better, and has no
hope held out to her of improvement.
Then in her discouragement she turns to
Dr. Pierce's I'nvorite Prescription and
finds a prompt and lasting cure. "I'n
vorite Prescription " establishes regu
larity, dries unhealthy drains, heals in
flammation and ulceration and cures
female weakness.
