The address last evening by Hov. P
V. Moslaudor of Noligli and Judge
Williams of Pierce were interesting and
thoughtful and tlioro was u very goo d
nttoudauco on the part of church people
nud others interested in the work.
Mr. Moeliindcr's subjuot waa the
"Evolution ot Christian Oitiz nshtp"
nud the subject of Mr. William * ' talk
was "A Layman's Suggestions to Pul
pit and Pow" iu which ho combined wit
with wisdom of his discourse and
inado it most eutci taiuing.
Today'B session IMS been devoted to
missions. This morning consideration
was given to the h < uio mission Held and
there was much to encourage workers
in that line of Christian endeavor. I he
work iu this section of the utato was
found to bo in u flourishing condition ,
with prospects of yet greater work and
better results. This afternoon's session
is devoted to the efforts the women of
the churches nro putting forth in the
cauKu of missions and some of the lead
ing workers of the Elkhoru valley arf
on the program.
Dr. Bross of Lincoln was the principal
speaker on home missions and IV v. Mr.
, Taylor of Pierce had for his subject
A , "Tho Seven Sinters "
Mrs. Ooryell spoke interestingly on
foreign missions and was followed by
Miss Pratt , recently returned from Tar-
key , who told of the work in that field.
The meetings have been iu the Second
church and have boon very well at
tended , considering the weather , by
people both from the city proper and
those of South Norfolk.
The ladies of the church served sup
per in the church last night to about
twenty ministers end delegates and
others arrived on the evening train.
This noon dinner was served in the
church to inoro than thirty ministers
and delegates. Several left on the noon
train but others have arrived , making
the attendance very good considering
the weather.
.BRIDGE . BROKE DOWN.
Men , Cattle and Ponies Went Into the
' Elkhorn South of Stanton.
On Monday afternoon Louis Smith-
berger of Stauton drove about seventy-
two head of steers into the Elkhoru
river bridge south of that place. All
.but the last fifteen head of the cattle
and the drivers passed over safely ,
then the north span of the- structure
broke down , throwing the fifteen cuttle ,
. ' three ponies and three drivers iuto the
river , which had been much swollen by
the recent rains. The three drivers ,
Louis Smithborger , Arthur Mack and
Ed. Ooga'ska , managed to roach the
banks of the stream after considerable
, , difficulty. The pouies were also saved ,
jdL. * ' . A. Dnt f ° ur head of the cattle were
4V , "ft' X drowned and one other was so badly
* * * * > J crippled that it was killed after being
taken from the water. The fact that
the river was so high and the current
swift , makes it appear that the fortu
nate escape from disaster was little
less than meracnlous.

on the bank until midnight with a fiuo ,
split bamboo pole , and didn't get so
much as a nibble. It was the thirteenth
of the mouth and he took just a baker's
dozen of hooks along. Other men
caught fish with wooden corks nnd
cork corks and every other old k'nd of
bobbers , but he , with a lovely new
scientific arrangement , got not n quiver
of the lino. It was thirteen o'clock
when ho wont to bed and to cap the
climax , he woke up in room No. 18 this

neat of the sort over brought iuto the

Spare the Meadow Larks.
It is difllcult to understand the coudi-
: iou or the uiontcl mrkoup of a man or
boy who will shoot n meadow lark. The
song of the lark is not a long ouo. Per-
laps it is not up to the standard of the
.atost ! music critics , but it carries a
wealth of melody and cheer to the man
who ueeds something to lift him in
spirit sense away from earth. There
must be something wrong with the man
who can hear the gush of melody which
the yellow-breasted songster turns loose
upon the Nobiahka breezes and not bo
jottered by it. There is eaduess in the
song of the dove , harshness iu the voice
of the spa.rownuuoyauco iu the jabbering -
ing of the jay , but love and cheer aud
hope in the sweet voice of the meadow
lark. Let them live , boys. They live to
bless and brighten the lives of men.

THEY COME FOR HUNDREDS
OF MILES TO SEE HER ,
Nothing so Wonderful in the
Days of Specialism.
Dr. Caldwell.
The success of Dr. Oaldwell is attrib
uted to her special study of specialism
Dr. Oaldwell , student , philanthropist
nud physician of wide reputation , hav
ing given her entire time and practice tea
a liuo of special diseases , which en
ables her from long experience in handl
ing these troubles to certainly come
forward as a master specialist. Her
faculty for mastering disease , her
ability to diagnose , and her plan of
treatment is not excelled by few other
physicians. Dr. Oaldwell , although a
young woman in life , a plain woman ,
aud one who Is used to the ups and
downs in life , puts herself on a level
with her patients and does not pretend
to practice the old plan of fashion ,
which is to look wise and say nothing.
She knows disease ; she knows where to
look for disease , and the spot where
located , and most of all she knows from
experiouco , from what she has done in
the past , she can certainly do for others
in the future. It is said by Dr. Cald-
well's friends that she cau diagnose a
disease of any patient without asking
them n siugle question , that being the
case , she is not likely to doctor them
for the wrong ailment j she will not
take nn incurable disease and lead the
patieut to believe that she cau cure
them when there is really [ no hope for
them. Her business is largo aud she
has plenty to do , oven , at times , more
than she can do , without taking incur
able diseases and deceiving her patients.
Dr. Caldwell is n graduate from ono of
the best schools in America. She has
practiced her profession in some of the
principal hospitals in this country.
Her specialty comprises that class of
diseases which the ordinary home doc
tor fails to euro , such as female diseases ,
heart diseases , diseases of children and
the many special diseases of hidden
nature. Her practice is mostly among
the plain , hard working people who are
unable to como to her city ofilco for
trea , ueut ; she is reasonable in her
charges and very lenient with these
who are not nblo to pay. She is oharit-
role , aud it is said has never boon
known to refuse to treat a patient who
is worthy nud in need. A number of
the important cases that wo hereby
take the liberty to publish , which
might bo of interest to some who wish
