The Womftn Quellion.
Womcn's Clubs all over the country
arc joinlll in n demRlul 011 Congress fern
n Itedcrnl tlwestigatlon of the industrial
condition of Womcn. A number of peti.
tions from Ncbnska womcn appeared
last weck-RlU'uur.lCANI 4'5-06.
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.

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"
