Important Notico
We have repeatedly called the attent
ion of the public to frauds, who oc
casionally go through the state claim
ing to represent our society. They are
frauds and can le easily found out,
foraliofour district superintendents
and workers carry credentials, signed
by on i presedenl. Dr. W O Henry
and K I’Quivey. state suprintendent;
it they cannot show such credentials
they have no connection with our soci
ety. Decently two or more persons were
in Gothenberg, soliciting money for
homeless children, claiming to rep
resent our society, giving a certain
street number in Chicago as national
headquarters which is not our liead
quaiters. We do not solicit money
tor < hicago, and these funds if connect
ed with any society, are with the Amer
ican IIometinding society, with which
we are no t connected. Wo have noth
ing t<» do with the “American Society’’
either national or otherwise, and as we
take it, our Nebraska people are not
especially interested in sending money
to Chicago to help them in charity,
especially when such methods are be
ing used to get the money, and we
hope that the people will demand to
see the credential, properly sighed by
our president and state suprintendent
before giving any money to strangers
claiming to represent this society.

—The Ashton editor has been very
short of news the past few weeks and
to readers of Ashton items we wish

torum for the Ashton department will

of Mr.and Mrs. J. P. Taylor Wednes
day for the Sunday School chil dren.
After the refreshmenta went the
rounds the children had a merry
time on the lawn playing childrens
games and wishing sociablea came
very day iri the year.
It is reported to us that the storm
which passed over Ashton Monday eve
aing going east, struck Farwell and
Dannebrog. At Farwell the corn cribs
and out buildings were blown down

thentic, as it is simply hear say.
—The Ashton and Boelus base
ball nines crossed bats at Boelus

we Gnd out that but four of the
Ashton ball nine participated in the
game, the balance being picked
up from the second nine.
-—The M, W. A. Camp of Aehton !

tloor. The meeting waswell attend
ed bat nothing delinite was one in
regard to it. It only remains for
the M. W. A. to go in with push and
vigor and the building of a good
hall will he a success.
