How would it do for the Woman's Clubs to investig-ate and see how many are good cooks , housekeepers , etc. SunscHIBHH. In recording the above news -item the RIU'unr.lcAN had no thought of evoking a controversy but if Subscriber will compare the Iuesent condition of women with their condition fifty years ago he must concede that qley cnjoy a great many privileges now that they did not then. 'l'heir enjoyment of life , in a hig-her atmosphere of lmowledge , refinement und usefulness is appreciated - preciated bv a very large per cnt of their brcthcrn. They fill many positions in public life that men coul < rnot supply. The office girl is in demand everywhcre because - cause of her special fitness for the work. Their rise in the literary world has created a friendly rivalry that spurs their brothers to greater efforts to attain - tain etliciencies , Women's present - sent attainments have been secured - cured by that patient and energy that commands the admiration of the progressive world. In fact the male population of this coun try has reason to feel alarm for their future suprema y. Ev rv high school and college is annu lly graduating five girls to one boy. 1'he girls are improving - ing their opportunities to educate themselves for the higher duties of life. Unless the boys are made to realize the si tuation and prepare themselves for the duH ( s . of this progressive age , ere an- ' other fifty years they will be do- ; iug the cooking , washing the' dishes , mcnding the stockings I and caring for the children with other hou5ehold duties while' ' their wives will be filling the executive chairs and the legisla- ti vc assemblies. Yet until that time does come their education along the lines suggested by Subscriber should not be ! neglected. There are few girls but who look forward to the time when she will become the happy wife of some industrious , wide awake , intelligent and pros-I perous young man. To preside over the home of such a man , efficiencv in mu ic and letters are not the nly accOIll plis l1uen ts required - quired to make the home happy. 1 t is i n < l ispensi ble t hat she should be just as etlicient in cooldng and the eneral work of a house. wife. What she lacks in these will detract from the hOlllc. No mother will have discharg ed her full duty to her daughter until shc has taught her the details - tails of housek eping , the same as every son should be schooled in some special work or trade. But when the girls have become sldlled in house kedeing they should not be discouraged in their aspcratiotls to fill positions in public life for which they are - qualified that will broaden their I usefulness and give them practical - ' cal knowledge of life. Obituftry. Mrs. A. E. Sco\'illc , died at her home near Anselmo , March 21),1906 , , age 77 years. Her funeral - eral was held Sunday. March 31 , at her late home. It was larg-ely attended by her many friends and neighbors. The funeral sermon - mon was preached by Rev. John Haney , assisted by Rev. Gissell , who bore testimon ) ' of her many excellencies and of her Christian character as well as to her pa- I lienee in sulTering and to her abiding faith in Heaven. Mrs. Scoville was born in northern New York , li'e ruary IS , 1829. he was married to A. E.I I Sroville , February IS , IR49. She with her hu'shand moved to Ill. in 1857 and to Nehraska in 1880. , TIer husb nd d ed March 31,1891. In earl v hfe she was schooled in the h bits of industry and in- tegri t ) ' and gt ven such - discipline as enabled her to make her liCe well and well she did it. Since the death of her husband she and her daughter H.uth , have worked zealously to make a home. 'I'he life of a pioneer at best is inglorious - glorious , hu t as often and usually - ly to the worthy comes glory so to Mrs. Scoville. 'rite last few years came glory to her as a laurel - el wreath well earned through years of hard work and activity. ' \ . lIer later life was one of plent ) ' and suOicicnt wealth. Her tate illness which she bore with great patience and sutTering was a complication of diseases , All that loving hearts amI willing hands could do was done. ' She was a devoted wife , an affectionate - ate mother , a loving fricnd and in all stations of life she well filled her part. . She left four children to mourn her death. One son , Oatis , of Whectland , Wyo. i Mrs , Eva li'unk , of 111. ; Mrs. Della Hubert , of Austin , Nebraska. and Mrs. Huth Straight , who lived' with her at home. . lIer remains were laid to rest in the New Helena 'cemetery. We bade her goodby and left her asleep. MHs. C. A , 'I'Ul'l'HH. Tftbernacle McetinRI lloled. : Last _ Sunday evening brought to a close the most sllccessful and inspiring evangelbtic campaign ever held in this city. For the last three weeks special services have been conducted by Rev. : Lincoln McConnell , assisted by Mr. L. G. Jones , soloist and c oir director , in a tabernacle' ' erected for the campaign and seating 1200 people. Mr. McConnell , invited by the ministers of several churches of the town to conduct union services - ces , began work 111 the Methodist church. On finding that this building was not large enough to acconnnoG\Jte , steps were at once taken to build a temporary . ; tructure. Amidst much critism and prophesing of failure , of many deaths thro.ugh exposure , the tabernacle which was to be { he town's church homc was erected , What have been the result of these meetings ? Have they Ijustified , the expense and labor entailed ? It may be safely said that Broken Bow is a better town today than it was a month ago. A stronger moralJide has set in , homes have been b"rightened and blessed , many have sought- and found Christ , many are now seriously considering their rela- tiqn to God. Night after night for'the past weeks congregations numberIng as high as 1500 h ve met to hear the word of hfe preached nnd sung. ' The talk of the town has been th "meet- in. " Many could b s en hurr- : ng to the tabernacle half an hour before the set time in order to secure a front seat. So great has been the interest that a three hours service only increased and deepened the enthusiam. 'I'he addresses of Mr. McCon- ncl were a splendid combination of logic , science , scripture , apt illustration an keen mother wit. His appeals to the conscience , to the intellect , to the best in a Ilian showed that he understood the get u l' of a man. Evangelist McCollnell is a man of brain and heart. The hearty singing of the large chorus choir conducted by Mr. Jones contributed to the success - cess of the ervices. Mr. Jones has proved himself to be a conductor - ductor of no mean order. His . solo singing was characterized .by s'mpethetic rendering and clear annunciation. 'rhe free will offering received on Sunday amounted to $1,205. The , total number of those who came forward expressing a desire to live a better li fe is 412. On Sunday evening the last night of the mission the ministerial conference passed the following resolution : As pastor' ! we , Iesirc to cxprcss our high cstcem of Rev. Jillcoln McConncJ1 and Mr. J , G. Joncs , who so ahly and efficicntly led us in this cvangeli ! > tic cmn" paign.

Evangelist McConnell was greeted with a large crowd at h is lecture given in the tabernacle - nacle Monday night. The required - quired admission fee did not eem to diminish the attendance in tha least. He and Mrs. McConncll and son and hi5 musical director , Loren Jones , left for the south on 44 after the lecture. lIe promised - ised the audiencc that he would s top off here on June 8 , and deliver - I liver a lecture for the benefit of the Young Man's Christian Club" : if they would arrange and fit up reading and bath rooms in connection - nection for the benefit of the : roung men. lIe designated Ross Pickett , of the Security State Dank , a the temporary secretary f thc organization to enroll those who desirc to become mem- bers.
