Plana for Allodia; Hew Oflleoa la
Prcaeat Balldlng in Being
Considered by Mayor
and ConaeU.
Already the member of the preeent city
council are being requeated by city official
fur better Vjuartere and more help. For
the lust two year the lack of help In all
of the city offices haa caused considerable
comment. There Is alao a lack of ucc m
modttUons for the officials and the record a
for years the city treasurer haa pulled
along with one deputy, except at such
tlms when the council would make al-
lowenre for a temporary deputy to help I
out The work hae lnoreased in the treas
urer's office to such an extent that , within
a abort time Treasurer Howe will request
the authority te appoint a second deputy.
In supiort of this need of additional help
Mr. Howe wlU show the council that from
April 1. 18ua. to March II. 1W1 he collected
U0.0S9.2 m general taxes. This amount
Is excluslT of the special taxes for which
statements were made, sent out and col
lected. The members of the present coun
cil are aware of the rapid Increase in the
work of the treasurer's office, as well as
the fact that more help Is needed. It la I
expected that there will be no oppoaltlon
to allowing the treasurer a second deputy.
City Clerk Olllan needs more room and so
doe the city engineer. Then there ts the
tax commissioner and the sanitary In
spector to look after. All of the city offices
are now crowded Into a apace hardly large
enough for the treasurer and clerk.
In order to cut down expenses Mayor
Koutsky gave up hie oftics In the Masonlo
block and now occupies the room formerly
occupied by the city engineer, compelling
the engineer to move Into the quarters
formerly used by the Inspectors. Beal has
no place to work alone and no suitable
' il'' to keep hla records.
Chief of PoUce Brlggs haa a little office
In one corner of the police court room,
where every word he saya over the tele
phono or to a visitor or prisoner may be

If this la done all of the city offlclala will
be given plenty of room and there will be
ample room provided for the storing of the

The third annual ball of the South Omaha
cavalry troop will be held at the big dining
room at the Exchange building tonight.
At the two previous ball given by the

stated that a large number of ticket have

the maintenance fund of the troop, which
Includes armory rent. There was such a
demand for tickets yesterday that the
troopers ran out of supplies. The an
nouncement was made Inst night by Cap

and the attached skirt may be full or cir
cular shape. The full skirt are to be
recommended for every-day dresses, but
the little circular aklrt haa much to do
with the style when a dress with circular
skirt Is worn.
Many mother never make any other
style after the child ts out of short clothes.
Certain It Is, the circular skirt Is easier
to wash and Iron. Provision Is made for
medium, long or extra long waist. Nain
sook, cambric or long cloth are used for

The following Is contributed to The Bee
by Mr. W. W. Keysor, former president
of the Omaha Woman' club, and now of
St. Louis: t
"The General Federation of Woman'
club 1 an Imposing body In It organiza
tion, In it deliberative meeting, and In
It lofty alms. One can hardly conceive
of an organization with greater possibili
ties of good or with larger opportunities
for the dissemination of culture.
"The powers of this body are not merely
potential. Already the general federation
Is accomplishing great result along the
lines to which It has turned It attention.
Child labor, that cruel barbarism of our
refined civilization,' Is steadily yielding to
the persistent, forceful opposition of the
general federation, and we may feel as
sured that the efforts of this body will
never cease until the foul blot 1 effaced
from our Industrial system.
"The federation, as a woman' organisa
tion. Is especially to be commanded In that
Its phllanthroplo work la along lines
strictly womanly, and there can be no mis
take In pronouncing this the direction of
Ite greatest power for future good.
'Whenever In tha cast women have had
opportunity for large work, it ha always
taken the course of amelioration. The
federation la perpetuating thla noble tradi
tion ar.d enforcing It to an extent unknown
In the paat. To anything that menacee
the home or the family thl organisation
la the unrelenting enemy, hence the atten
tion it haa given and la tlll giving to
child labor and aweat shops.
"In the great breadth of their altruistic
Interests there Is no room for sectionalism.
It must be admitted that In the paat thla
aentlment hae been fostered by women
and naturally, perhaps, for women In their
hitherto secluded employment and In th
privacy of home life have been tha con
ervatora of mannera and custom.
'The work of the federation make 'the
fair beginning of a time when women,
without losing any of the charm of the
olden time, have added thereto the Influ
ence which come from clarified notiona of
question of great public moment, and
from organization, thorough and broad,
which glvee these notions currency and
weight JENNIE ELLIS KEY80R.

- Here la what Mr. Robert J. Burdett
really said about polygamy and the di
vorce law, and It would hardly seem that
tha statement include anything to agitate
the "conservative element of th general
federation" to the extant that ha been- re
ported: While we must continue to condemn
polygamy, which doe not exist legally in
Utah, we as women must to mold public
opinion that w shall condemn the consecu
tive polygamy Which eiUts in the several
states under the various divorce laws and
which Is more dangerous to the moral Ufa
of the nation than the simultaneous polyg
amy which exists In spite of the law. The
general federation doee not pretend to bo
a reform organisation. It hae held that It
could do much In molding public senti
ment. The atate federations and the In
dividual clubs hsve engaged In dlst net en
terprises, but the nutuie of the larger
body makerf It wise merely to Inspire and
to outline the various actlvltle that make
toward th uplifting of womanhood.
