things whatsoever I have commanded you,

particularly to the young people who have
recently become member of the c hur' h
and who were to receive their llrst com
munion ut this time. lie silrt In part:
"The gospel Is Both a commission and a
spiritual culture, one depending up:n the
other. Hy It men are commissioned to do
mission or missionary work In His nime.
Missionary work Intensities our Interest In
the work for Christ hy the upbuilding of
Ills church. The gospel as a mission In our
city Is closi'st to our henrt and shares nnr
greatest responsibility. The gcppel im it
mission will n ver become obsolete, for
the reason that there are always young
people coming up in the world who stand
in need of the f;ospc of Jesus Christ, and
there are those who are yet untaught in
the beauthx of the gospel, and again there
will forever remain the opportunity to In

that they may be led to follow the Christ
life.

Rev. L. C. II. Ills it.
Rev. I.. C. II. r..gg. began a week of
nftirno"n and eenlng .'etvii.es in Inimanuel
linptlft church Sum'.iiy morning. He
preaehed from the n-unls, "There is a lad
here who has five barley loaves and two
puiHil tislna," and wiid:
"1 hope. I in ly bring you a message from
this hoy with hie little lunch. God is
omnipotent, but He cat-not. He will not
take us by Vie nape of the neck and lift
iih Into the k;iiijdom of heaven. We must
come with nil our own power; Ho wants
our co-ojh ratii n and He must have it to
do the work which Is to be dune in tills
world. Think of the dignity which this
brings us, to be co-orkrs with Christ in
the salvation of man. We must be about
..ur fathers, business and we must be
about it now. You must co-operate with
J siih so that you shall enter the kingdom
of heaven.
"Line of the things which prevents our
co-operation is nclf-consclousness. Our
greatest strength and our greatest weak
ness run parallel and God, In wakening us
to consciousness, ran the danger that some
of us would beconio self-conscious, nnd a
self-conscious niun, always thinking of
himself, has never accomplished anything
great. Self-depreciation is another thing
which prevents our co-operation. It Is the
obverse of self-consciousness; we think we
have no power. God holds you responsible
for your talents. If people are to call you
blessed when you have been taken nwiy
you must develop your talents. The par
able of the talent and of the excuses Is not
an Idle fable; It Is real; but we make these
excuses when we try to how why we have
not co-operaied with Christ.
"The boy with his lunch shows us co
operation; the boy, Christ, God; see what
is accomplished. The woman who got John
Williams, the great South Sea Island mis
sionary, to t'o to prayer meeting the first
time did not do much, but she co-operated;
the mother of Moody did not do much her
self when she raised up her son to be the
great evangelist, but she co-operated In
the work of God.
"God never asks you nnd me for what
we haven't got; He knows better. He
does ask us for what we have, so that He
may bless It and ennoble It and us In the
taking. How it must pain His heart to
hear our flimsy excuses. The king Is
gone to a far country, but he will return.
There will be an accounting and I sincerely
hope that none of us will be found want-lne."

LINCOLN, Neb.-To the Editor of The

new orthopedic hospital to be established
by the Hoard of Public Lands and Build
ings. There is a selfish move on foot to
misconstrue the new law to the extent of
pushing the appointment of a Nebraska
doctor regardless of special orthopedic
training. This would be a calamity to the
proposed Institution. Ae one of the com
mittee who wrote the amendments to the
original bill. Inserting the word "ortho
pedic" and tying the hospital strictly to this
class nf patients, I ask your aid In calling
the attention of the board, through your
columns, to the carrying out of the letter
of the law. The women of the state are
greatly Interested in the welfare of the
new hospitnl and desire the appointment
of a registered orthopedic surgeon of ex
perience In such hospital work. Every one
will realize with us that the Initial appoint
ment will pet the precedent for all future
oppointments of surgeons. In behalf of the
women Interested In the new chlldrens'
hospitnl, I am, CORA A. GARBER.
The Money Handlers' Side of It.
PENDER, Neb., April 6. To the Editor
of Tho Bee: I herewith Inclose a clipping
from the Sioux City Tribune of Thursday
and appearing in the Omaha Bee of Fri
day under scare head lines, "Indians Are
Ready to Ik gin Fighting," and from the
tone of the, article I was led to believe
there was serious trouble at the agency.
At present I live at' Pender, am a member
of the Winnebago tribe of Indians and havs
lived among them all my life; also a mem
ber of the council, so deemed it my duty
to hasten to the agency to use what In
fluence I luul to quell tho threatened dis
turbance. l"pon arriving at the agency I
made Inquiry among the Indians and
agency offlclnls ' concerning the basis of
the report, and to my great surprise found
the Indians quietly going about their busi
ness in their usual peaceful demeanor,
with no thought of doing violence to any
person, and In truth the reported article
had no foundation In fact or substance
other than the fertile imagination of the
writer, and am loth to believe that Father
Schell wrote the article or that a clergy
man would write such unfounded state
ments for the sole purpose of placing him
self in the public eye to the great Injury,
injustice and damage to the credit and
good name of my people.
White people on the reservation are In
no more danger of Injury at the hands of
the Indians than people on the streets of
your city at midday, and all such reports,
coming from whatever source, are the
veriest nonsense.
As to the Charles Prophet Incident re
ferred to In the article. Prophet owed an
obligation which he acknowledged before
the agent was due the creditor. Prophet
wanted to pay only apart of the bill, but
his creditor seemed to want all the money
due him, and while Prophet and his cred
itor were talking over as to how much
should be paid, and with no thought of
violence, Father Schell stepped up and told
Prophet that he need not pay any part
of tho debt and to keep his money, where
upon the creditor passed his hand over
the fae of Father Schell In a challenging
manner and each used language not be
coming a pulpit, after which all was quiet
and the matter dropped. Superintendent
Wilson hus performed his official duties
creditably and with general satisfaction
among the Indians and there is no basis
for the Insinuation that Mr. Wilson Is
forcing the Indians to make settlements
with their creditors.
These Indians are citizens and have been
for nearly twenty years, doing business in
a small way, botrowlng money, buying
and elllng personal property, provision.
i etc., and necessarily have honest obliga
tions outstanding against them, in the
aggregate amounting to many thousands
of dollars, - and occasionally abuses and
fraud are perpetrated upon them as upon
nil people of the same grade of Intellect,
The Indians, the same as people generally,
are protected against fraud by the courts
and honorable citizens of a community,
and when Father Schell or any other per
son advises the Indians not to pay their
obligations and encourages them to sulk
around until their money Is squandered
It cannot be said that such advice is for
the Indians' best Interest.
Business at the- Winnebago agency is
conducted now Just as it has been for the
last twenty years and the trading with the
Indians Is as fair and honorable now as it
ever has been and grafting and speculating
on the Wlnnehago Is a rare and Infrequent
as at any other Indian agency In the
country, the only difference being there la
but one Father Schell to write bug-a-boo
stories and publish them In the great
dallies, thereby doing a great Injustice to
the Indians as welt as to the business
Interests of Thurston county. The Indians,
if left to their own Inclination, are peace
able citizens and honest, ready to pay
their debts so far as possible. , We regret
to confess that there are moral irregulari
ties among my people, but all are not im
moral, and deplore the fact that Indiana,
like the Irish, are fond of their whisky,
and like the good Dutchman, fond of his
beer, but I denx that the Indian is ad
dicted to the use' of snuff.
I have no Interest in' the creditors, in
Father Schell or Agent Wilson, but as
a councilman and representative of the
Wlnnebagoes, deal re the truth to be known.
JOSEPH A. LEMERE.
Canadian Immigration.
MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., April 15. To the
Editor of the Omaha Bee: In a recent Is
sue of your paper you editorially say:
There appears to be good reason for this
statement (thut there is no prospect of
stopping the "American invasion" of West
ern Canada) but it is to be doubted If
this emigration of Americans to the Ca
nadian northwest will be long maintained
Ht the present rate. The cheap lands of
that country are undoubtedly attractive
to some, but there are some disadvantages,
the chief of which Is that of getting the
products of the lands to market. The cost
of getting these products to market, as
compared with the cost of marketing the
products of Pakotn, for example, does not
leave much, if anything. In favor of the
cheap Canadian lands. Of course, tills will
be overcome in time, but it w!'l be years
before it Is. and then the lands will not
tie as cheap as at present. Meanwhile
the American emigrants to that rather In
hospitable region will have well earned all
Xbry make.
ill you permit me to express a differ
ence from you In regard to this matter and
to explain why I differ?
It Is my opinion that the present move
ment of Americans Into Western Canada
Is likely to be considerably Increased In
the near future, even ff the current year
docs n.it turn out to be the banner year
of this migration. It is an undeniable fact
that, pn.etloally all of the virgin pralrl
land of this continent in the humid region
and open to homesteadirig or purchase at
a low price, is now In Western Canada.
That being the case It follows that there
niUHt be un Immenne liumlt.'ratlon from
this country with its 8U.OnO.000 people, to
AfnVHAY. AFKIL 17. lWo.
CAN USE MACHINES TO VOTE
Western Canada, with Its leas than l.ono.
ot scattered over 4O0.000 square miles of
good country. v
Tou ar quite In error In regard to the
cost of getting the products of Western
Canadian farms to the market. As a mat
ter of fact, the freight rates for the trans
portation of farm products on the Western
Canadian roads are much lower than they
are on the Northern Pacific nnd Great
Northern, ns you will find upon consult
ing the tnrllT sheets of those roads. In
deed, there has been no little complaint
from the farmers of North Dakota at this
discrimination, as they call It, nnd not
long ago, Farm. Stock nnd Home, a lead
ing agricultural paper published In Min
neapolis, showed in an editorial that a
Western Canadian farmer can get his
product hauled l.noo miles for about what
It costs a Dakota farmer to get his hauled
5o0 miles.
You are also in error In referring to
Western Canada as an Inhoppltahle re
gion. It Is true that the winters are cold,
but cold winters do not, of themselves,
make an Inhospitable region. A country
that can raise twenty to forty bushels of
wheat to the acre year after year, where
farmers have accumulated a fortune
within ten years after coming to the
country; where the per capita production
of agricultural wealth Is considerably
larger than It is in the T'nited States, taken
as a whole; a country where the people
are able to live well, dress warmly and
enjoy all the comforts and conveniences
and many of the luxuries of modern life, Is
surely not an Inhospitable region.
Some American newspnpers seem to think
that It is their bounden duty to speak dis
paragingly of Western Canada and tho
movement thereto. I think this Is a mis
taken policy. Such a fertile region ns the
prairies of Western Cnnnda Vjs bound to
be thickly populated some dny. Certainly
It Is better for the reople of the United
Stites to have their northern neighbors of
the same blood and ideas as themselves
than of alien stock.

State Board of Voting Maihine Commis
sioners Created.
STATE OFFICERS TO NAME DEPUTIES
Inventors or Owners of Voting; Ma
chines Are to Pay to the Itnard a
Stiff Fee, to He Their Only
Com pen ant Ion.
"Nebraska Is now given the opportunity
to get Into the front rank of progress In
electoral matters," said Attorney Charles
Elgutter In discussing n law passed by the
recently adjourned legislature to permit
the use of voting machines. Mr. Elgutter
has long taken a lively Interest In this
subject and In several preceding sessions
tins co-operated with other gentlemen to
secure the passage of a good voting ma
chine law. He Is of the opinion that the
law now on the statute books fills the
bill.
The net provides that the governor, sec
retary of state and auditor of public ac
counts shall compose "a state board of
voting machine commissioners." These
officials nre authorized to appoint three
deputies to perform the work luld out for
the board. Two of these deputies must
be "master mechanics or graduates of a
school of mechanical engineering." The
third member Is presumably to be the
clerical end of the board. They are to
hold office for two years.
Machine Men Mast Pay.
No compensation is to be paid the board
by the state, but any person having a
voting machine which he desires to have
examined for approval by the board must
pay to the treasurer of the board the sum
of $4.Vi. Out of this the board must pay
all Its expenses for traveling, stationery,
postage and Incidentals; thu balance will
then be divided among the three members
of the board and will constitute their sole
con-jicnsatlon for services.
if two members of the board shall ap
prove any or all of the machines offered
for examination the same Is to thereupon
become authorized for use at any election
In this state, by any civil division
thereof. Any machine so approved must
be so constructed "as to Insure every voter
ah opportunity to vote In secret." It must
also provide facilities for voting 'for the
candidates of at least seven parties or
organizations, and for the voting of split
as well as straight tickets. All of the
workings of the machine are hedged about
with so many conditions of construction and
operation that any which may be approved
must surely be mechanically perfect.
Election Hoard and Bonds.
The election board, where machines are
used, is to consist of three Judges and
three clerks, to be appointed as at present
provided by law. Under the law they are
to allow no longer than one minute with
the machine to ench voter.
The proper officers of any district, county,
city, town, school district, village, pre
cinct or township are given authority to Is
sue bonds, certificates of indebtedness or
other obligation for the purchase of ma
chines. Such obligations must not run
longer than ten years or bear more than
6 per cent interest.
Already, it is understood, Governor
Mickey is in receipt of numerous applica
tions for the position of deputy on the
board. This may be partially accounted
for by the fact that the act carries the
emergency clause.
The bill was Introduced In the senate by

INDIAN WOMEN.
How They Live and Keep Well.
Indian women as a rnle are healthy
and strong because of the out-door life
they lead. Sleeping in tents, as they
do they breathe good air day and
night, and because they have knowl
edge of many of the indigenous plants
which have great medicinal virtues,
they keep well. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is not an Indian medicine,
because it was prescribed by a promi
nent physician in his private practice
for many years, 'and its principal in
gredients are listed in the United States
Pharmacopoeia, and at least one of the
ingredients is used almost wholly by
the most eminent epecialists In women's
diseases and recommended hy profes
sors of medical colleges. At the same
time Dr. Pierce believes that he has a
most valuable socret in the combina
tion of ita principal ingredients which
actual experience has proven will cure
most every woman of those ills so
common to woman -kind. Some of
the roots and herbs entering in to its
composition are dug up by the squaws
oi the several reservations in the
S'iring of the year and shipped to Dr.
Pierce's Laboratory in the fall. The
best of them are assorted and nstsi in
liis Buffalo Laboratory, the World's
dispensary. The N. Y. Journal in a
recent article says :
For the purpose of showing the pnrity
and honesty of his medicines, the "Fa
vorite Prescription" and the "Golden
Medical Discovery," Dr. Ii. V. Pierce
'has thrown open to public inspection
bis laboratories and works in Buffalo.
At any time during the day visitors
are made welcome and shown through
the establishment by competent gnides.
These guides explain the detailed and
vientiflc work or the skilled chemists
and just how and of what the modern
''patent medicine" is made.
To every visitor is also explained the
vstern by .which every user of Doctor
Pierce's medicines receives individual
care from one or more specialists.
Dr. Pierce was a member of Congress
where he served with honor. He is a
splendid specimen of manhood with a
frank countenance, inspiring confi
dence, and great personal magnetism.
For forty years Dr. Pierce has been
actively engaged in the manufacture of
his prescriptions. His fully-equipped
laboratory has grown and expanded
until now it is the largest and most
complete one known.
Dr. Pierce's success is real. There is
a steadily increasing demand for his
medicines, proving conclusively that
they are not nostrums, but reliable
remedies for diseases.
"Two years ago when I suffered from
change of life," writes Mrs. Louis
Swenson, of 424 West Fullerton Ave.,
Chicago, Ills., "I did not know what to
do. but remembered that my mother-in-law
having tried Dr. Pierce's medi
cines, was saved, so I thought I would
write to you for advice.
"Result: After having taken three
bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and two and a half of ' Fa
vorite. lVescription ' and using half
a bottle of witch hazel, I noticed
great improvement, and now am able
to do all my own work, ulso have a
splendid appetite. When I was first
taken sick we called a doctor, and he
said 1 would have to have an opera
tion. Then I decided to write to you.
Got two bottles of your medicine and
after taking the second bottle I never
thought of a hospital, or operation. I
am gaining in weight weigh more now
than I ever did in my life. My friends
are surprised when they see me as 1
Imve changed so in looks.
I wish I could write and tell all suffer
ing women of Dr. Pierce's great ' Favor
ite Prescription ' and 'Golden Medical
Discovery for poor, Bick sufferers."
