One particular point of felicitation Is
1 that within a short time the slatera will,
(through the beneficence of Count Crelgh
'y ton, have a new and enlarged home, with
modern conveniences and built tn modern
', style. It waa due to the generosity of
',Count Cretghton that the Franciscan Poor
Clares ware able to establish tnemseives in
this country twenty-five yeara ago, aa when
the late Bishop O'Connor wished to Invite
the order to Omaha Count Crelghton agreed
to built a suitable convent. Thla he did
Immediately and since then hna always
been tho most constant and liberal friend
of the alsters. Since the streets around
the convent were graded, the cut on
i Twenty-ninth street being thirty feet, the
', building hoa stood too high. A short time
go Count Crelghton informed the slaters
' that If they would seours a temporary
horn ha would have the lota graded down

) chapel, convent, stable, etc Tha sisters

convent la vacated.
I Poor Clares Well Knowi.
1 Tlinu.h tha smallest rellaious order In
I knm.rimi atpnnvth In the United States.
tha FranQlacan Poor Clares are well known
on account of tha strictness of their rule of
Ufa. Tha order Is divided Into two classes,
' the "enclosed" and those who attend to the
necessary outside work of the order, trans
matins the business of It both at tho con
want and In tho clty.; The "enclosed" -sisters
are under vows of perpetual silence
and never to leave tha convent enclosure.
or communicate In any way with tha out
Ida world. They can be released from one
or mora' of theae vows only under special
1 circumstances, as, for example, the vow re
gardlng enolosurs will be euspendod tho
; day the alsters move from the convent to
their temporary home and again on the day
they move back to the new convent. Under
a literal Interpretation of the rulea the
. bodies of dead slaters should be burled
Within the convent wrIIs and to carry thla
out pinna for a number of burial vaults
were drawn about a year ago. But nothing
further was dona In tha matter and the
plans for the new buildings do not provide
for any vaults. Only two members of the
order have died alnoe It waa established
and they have been burled outside In Cath
olio cemeteries.
I'neeaalnsr "application.
Unceasing and perpetual supplication to
tha Throne of Divine Grace tn reparation
of tha sins of the world and for Ita progress
In faith and morals Is the principal work of
the ordei. This prayer la kept up duy and
night before the blessed sacrament. In ad
dition to this purely spiritual work the sis

oonsecrated at every mass In the diocese of

SAYS NEBRASKA BEATS WEST
James Walsh of Season Thinks An-
telopo state la Ahead of Wsh.
Ingtoa or Oregron.
James Walsh of Benson has Just returned
from an extensive trip through Washington
and Oregon and la deeply Impressed with
the Idea that while there are numerous
natural and unnatural advantages tn be
had out there, the man who owns soil In
Nebraska would be unwise to let It go for a
Dome In the far west. Mr. Walsh gives
an Interesting sketch of his observations,
and then concludes by advising Nebraskana
to stay where they are.
'The country west of the Cascade moun
tains Is, from a climatic atandpolnt, very
line," said Mr. Walsh, "but from a farm
er's standpoint th country Is not very al
luring, especially to one who Is used to the
rich, black, loamy soil of Nebraska and Ita
boundless fertility. It Is disappointing to
observe how tha farming must necessarily
be carried out In the sandy soils of Ore
gon and Washington. Th best of farm
ing lands are held there at from $100 to
1200 per acre, but I consider the Nebraska
land held at tU5 to 170 per acre far hotter
and capable of raising far better and more
varied crops, and Is then again nearer the
great markets. Seventy-five percent of
the eggs used In Portland, Ore., are shipped
from Omaha, also a great deal of the
poultry. Neither Washington or Oregon
raises poultry anywhere near sufficient to
supply the local demand there. It la owing
to the rainfall west of the Cascades. There
Is little or no rainfall east of the Cascades.
"The farmer who owns his land in Ne
braska had better remain on It, Corn
does not thrive there at all. Hence It is
next to Impossible to raise hogs, and so
they must depend on Nebraska for - their
supply of pork products. Their chief agri
cultural products are hay, wheat and oats
and soms alfalfa.
"Tha great products of th West Cascade
section are timber and the salmon fisheries.
The magnificent forest of timber are being
cut away. The A-ountry la fairly teeming
with sawmills. The government Is now In
vestigating the fraudulent entries of tim
ber landa by the lumber syndlcatea, which
may possibly result in curtailing the de
struction of the forests for a whllo, at least.
However, there Is one redeeming feature,
and that Is that the forests are reproducing
themselves. But the timber destroyers are
now getting Into these young trees with
wanton avarice and destroying millions of
them.
"There ar some valley lands along the
Columbia that produce a fine quality of
fruit, and these lands aro held at from $100
to 1300 per acre.
"The salmon fisheries ar doomed to de
struction unless some congressional action
Is taken to prevent the' avarloloua destruc
tion of these magnificent fish.
"The mining Industrie of Washington
are growing In Importance. Gold and silver
are produced In abundance and some cop
per. There are also great coal mines tnat
will amply supply the fuel demand for both
states.
"Seattle Is a fine city, and in my opinion
it will yet become the greatest seaport of
th Paclflo coast. It controls the shipping
trade of Alaska and Is now reaching out
for th Asiatic and Philippine trade. There
Is still a big emigration toward our
Alaska possessions, and th tourist travel
there Is Increasing with each year.
"At Portland. Ore., laborate prepara
tions are being mad for th Lewis and
Clark exposition celebration in 1906. The
site is a beautiful on and the grounds are
already fenced. '
"Thiers ar attractions in Oregon and
Washington, but again I must advice the
fortunate owner ot Nebraska lands to stay
nere, because of our manifest and numer
ous advantages over apy of th Pacific
coast states."

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH 0MA11A
All Workman Lodges Are Planning; for
Carnival in Hew Tempi o.
ALL STATE OFFICERS WILL BE PRESENT
Part of tho Affair Will Do llela Out
side h Building, streets Being
Fenced Off for that Pur
pose. The Ancient Order of United Workmen
lodges of South Omaha are planning for a
big carnival and th dedication of the new
Workmen temple Just completed at
Twenty-fifth and M streets. This carnival
is to be held during the week beginning
September 21. The dedicatory exercises
will be held either on Monday or Tues
day of that week. Directors of the asso
ciation held a meeting Friday night and
appointed committees. All of the grand
officers of the order In the state will be
Invited to attend the dedicatory exercises
and Invitations will be extended to all of
the lodges in the state.
As for the carnival it Is proposed to fenae
In Twenty-fifth street from L to M streets
and hold a part of the carnival In the open
air. A committee composed of O. II.
Brewer, B. E. Wilcox and D. J. Farrcll
was named by the directors to lay the
matter before the council and request per
mission to fence In the portion of L street
mentioned from curb to curb, the side
walks to be left clear. Another committee
is to look after attractions for this street
fair.
While no definite plans have been made
It is proposed to have booths erected under
the balcony In the auditorium where re
freshments will be served and articles
offered for sale. The floor of the audi
torium can be used for dancing or for
other purposes. A stage show of some
kind also will bo arranged for. Members
of the Degree of Honor will have charge
of the booths In the temple.
South Omaha haa three Ancient Order
of United Workmen lodges with a mem
bershlp of about 1,400. Lodge No. 60 has
800 members; No. 227 has 400 members,
while No. 828, the youngest In the city,
has about 200 members. The Degree of
Honor has a membership of a little over
600.

the exception of Saturday. This hall now I
the Only suitable place In the heart of the
city for the holding of publlo meetings or
dances. The directors of ths order will
meet today to hold an Informal conference
regarding the proposed carnival.
Itallroad Avenue Paving. '
People living on Twenty-fourth street,
south of Q street, and on Railroad avenue,
are greatly Inturested In the proposed pav
ing of this roadway. An ordinance for this
work has passed its first reading Irt the
city council and is now In the hands of
the street and alley committee. This com
mlttee Is composed of Welsh, Adklns and
Qtteenon, and It is hardly probable that a
report will be made before Councilman
Welsh, who Is chairman of the committee,
returns from the west. A great many peo
ple who are Interested In seeing a good
road built to the county line are urging
Mayor Koutsky to push the matter as rap
Idly as possible. The mayor la doing all he
can to hurry matters along as the season
for grading and paving Is gef'ng late. Per
haps It may be arranged to have tho streets
and alleys committee make a report at
Monday night's meeting of th council In
order to hasten' the passage of the ordi
nance. When this Is done trie ordlnano
will have to he ndverMsed and then con
tracts let fof the work. Thoao who ars
Interested say that now the movement has
been started It should be pushed through
without delay In order to (five a good road
Into the city from' the south.
Woman Reported Missing.
Acting Chief Eisfelder has been notified

the house and has not returned. Wednes
day Mrs. Kelly locked the door and left and
she has not been at home since. An officer
opened the house yesterday afternoon and

local labor unions held several sessions
last week for the purpose of talking over
the advisability of a new scale for the

ing were settled by both sides making con
cessions. An advance In wages was granted
the beef boners and tbe canning room
workers. Th revised schedules have been
ratified and ar now being printed.

The action of the Retail Liquor Dealers
association ' In ordering removed from the
saloons of members of the association all
union bartenders' signs will not be resisted
by the members of the bartenders' union.

cards," said H. C. Edwards, financial sec
retary and business agent ef the union,
"and we have no grievance at this time
sgalnst the Retail Liquor Dealers associ
ation. We shall Insist however In our
members wearing the blue button. That
la our protection, while the cards were
merely for the protection of ths saloons
that displayed them. That Is the only
resson we gave the saloon men the cards,
Just as an advertisement to secure the
patronage of organised labor."
"I see the liquor dealers claim," continued
Mr. Kdwards. "that we refused to treat with
them as a body. We never did refuse to
meet with the association until July 1."
At that time the secretary of the associ
ation sent out a letter stating that em
ployers would stand by the bartender, who
was charged exorbitant assessment and
refused to pay. Now we hold that our
organisation Is perfectly shle to discipline
Its members and the retail liquor dealers
hsd no right to interfere, rflnce that time
we have refused to treat with them as a

The detailed prospectus of The Twentieth Century Farmer
for the year 1903-4 will be issued shortly, but in the interval Its
publishers desire to announce that the steady improvement
shown in that publication from its inception will be still more
marked in the coming twelve months, keeping fully abreast with
the rapidly expanding subscription list and the regularly increas
ing advertising patronage. The Twentieth Century Farmer has
forged to the front as the most up-to-date and popular agricul
tural weekly in the country, typical In every feature of the push
and enterprise of the western farmer. It will appeal to every
member of the farmer's family and to every one interested In
rural pursuits with special emphasis on the great stock raising
industry. None of the other departments of agriculture, how
ever, are neglected and the whole tone of the paper is directed
toward broadening and uplifting life and work on the farm. The
big state fairs are now coming on. The Twentieth Century Farmer
will be represented at each of them by a competent staff and will
review in successive issues the progress reflected in the exhibits.
Those who are not familiar with the paper should write for
.. sample copies, and advertising rates. No one interested in west
ern agriculture can afford to go without reading The Twentieth
Century Farmer from week to week and no one who vants to
reach the most' intelligent members of the farming communities
' of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Eouth Dakota, Wyoming,
Colorado and adjoining states can afford not to use Its advertis
ing columns. j
