snerely some ona who la seeking recognition
In order to help in a campaign for some

GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. April rr.-iSpe-clal.)-There
Is quite a little excitement
among aome of the saloon men over ths
action of ona of their number last evening
in filing protests against twelve others
on the grounds that they have not thirty,
or a majority of the freeholders of their
respective wards on their petitions and
that they havo been violating the Blocumb
law by keeping the back doors of their
places of business open on Bunday and
selling their wares. It was filed by Jamea
Foley, himself a saloon man. because the
chief of police filed a protest before the
council against granting Foley a license
for the ensuing yesr. charging violation of
law. The protest by him is an effort to
strike back or to save himself. No action
ao far haa been taken by the council upon
the protests brought In by Foley, but that
of the chief against him has been set for
hearing tomorrow evening, and a lively
contest is expected In view or the fact that
the police authorities evidence a disposition
not to be bluffed into withdrawing their
remonstrance.

The Misses Ryan of South Dakota. Denny

duced and spoke briefly of the work of the
Junior societies.
Ka Charitable tfoaae.
The Home ror Missionaries' Children, at
Morgan Park. 111., was the subject of in
teresting talks by Mrs. W. E. Hopkins,
missionary to India, and Mrs. R, Price,
former sessionary to Bunnah. Both wo
men talked feelingly of the work of the
home and its necessity. That Hs purpose
had been criticised was conceded, but this
criticism, tbey asserted, came from a com
plete unfamlliarity with the objects of the
home. They maintained it was not in any
sense a charitable institution and the mis
sionary parents of the children placed there
paid fully and freely ror the support and
care or the children. In many instances
the children were born In foreign lands
and while given the earlier care of their
parents had sooner er later to be brought
under the civilising Influences or a home
denied them In the missionary fields, they
were confided to the home, where they
were surrounded by all that was good and
pure in Christian Influences. The mission
ary parents or these children could not
save the field of their missionary labors,
lest the work that they had inaugurated
should laruruiah. The ciaaionary parents
were not less human and loving than other
parents. Tbey had been educated for the
missionary field and their lives were con
secrated to the work. It had been found
after many years of experience that celi
bacy was not conducive to the best efforts
In missionary work. The life of the mis
sionaries, both men and women, was ardu
ous and lonely and ror this reason the gen
eral missionary board advocated ths intro
duction or married workers in the foreign
fielda.
Care at the Chllslrea.
Then came the question of the care of
the children of the missionaries and hence
the establishment of the Morgan Park
Home.
"It should not." said Mrs. Price, with
tears ii. her eyes, "be contused aith an
orphanage. We have often, oh, so often,
longed for the presence or our children
while we were away doing Gods work.
But as Ha bad commanded tis to make
some sacrifice, we felt that though many
thousand or miles separated us from our
loved ones. God was with them and us."
The morning session concluded with s
brier talk by Mrs. A. M. Post, of South
Dakota, on the publications or the society,
which are the Bulletin, the Helping Hand,
Around the World and tbe Missionary Mag
azine, all or which are devoted especially
to the dissemination or roreign missionary
Intelligence.

The end or the lust of The Bee's series
of contests is drawing nigh and if the
changes rung rrom day to day will be re
peated throughout the one day remain
ing we may look ror an extremely varie
gated panorama or surprises. The way
the voting now goea there cannot be a
shadow or doubt but that scores will far
exceed those of any preceding contest and
It would take a wise guesser to tell where
they will stop. The old sdviee to keep on
gathering votes to the last and trust no
previous records Is worth repeating, with
the caution to look out for dark horses and
the cold atmosphere of the storage vaults
The most notable change to be chronicled
Is the advent of Mr. Arthur E. Rogers of
Omaha, as a dark horse with a score of
more than 10.000 votes; also Miss Antonette

well be regarded as straws Indicating the
