What the' People Think.
Permission has been given to pub
lish the following copy of a letter
addressed to a member of the M. E.
conference , recently in session at
Fremont :
Omaha , Neb. . Sept. 211 , 1901 ! . Dear
Mrothor : My attention has been
called to the following resolution In
troduced by a member of the recent
conference at Lincoln :
' Resolved , That In view of the fact
that the Mothers Jewels' Homo Is
our own institution , the pastors be
requested to give their ontlro support
to it. "
The above resolution , which IB so
exclusive in character , is without
question a purinisely aimed blow at
all similar institutions , not organized
| under the auspices of the Methodist
| Kplucnpal church. As n lay member
of that denomination I should feel
humiliated to admit that Methodist
ministers may be found who , in a
spirit or narrow selfishness could re
fuse thus to extend a helping hand
to helpless and homeless children.
Such resolutions are too sectarian
and injure the cause sought to be
promoted. Child saving institutions
Interdenominational In character ,
nourish all the more in the face of
such selfish inlluonces.
"Suffer little children to como unto
me. " Is a plea just as earnest and
broad today as it was two thousand
> ears ago. It never was the Intention
of the master that the saving of help
less and innocent little ones should
be restricted to any specified denom
ination.
The walling cry that Is heard from
thousands of desolate homos appeals
to every Christian heart and should
not fall to find a responsive echo , re
gardless of church alllllatlons , when
ever an opportunity Is offorod.
A similar resolution to the o.no
quoted may not , wo hope , bo offered
to the present , or any other , confer
ence , but should anyone have the
temerity to submit such n proposi
tion , wo trust that it will bo prompt
ly resented by the ministers in ses
sion.
Yours truly ,
W. P. Hartford.

Mag was driven to the homo of her

A Busy Day.
Yesterday was a strenuous day
for The News. It was the busiest
balloting you over saw anil It lasted
until the last minute. All morning
long and all the afternoon the two
telephones In the building were kept
constantly ringing by persons Inter
ested on one side or the other In the
outcome of the contest. Shortly after >
tor the ballot box had been closed at
noon the bell began to ring almost
Incesantly and queries began to como
as to who got the horse and buggy.
During the morning for two hours
previous to noon the business olllce
was thronged with people paying
their old subscriptions and now ones ,
and casting their coupons. Mrs. Des
mend and Miss Shaffer were both
present to watch the close. At twc
minutes before 12 o'clock , Miss Shaf
fer deposited over 10,000 votes. Thc
ballots for Mrs. Desmond had been
coining In In small lots and largo ones
all morning. Miss Shaffer had most
of hers to cast herself and these went
in at the final Instant.
When the hands of the clock came
together the contest was declared
closed. The ballots wore given ever
to the care of the three Judges ,
Hazen , Kblo and Fain to bo counted.
Contestants Lunch Together.
When the contest was finished
Miss Shaffer accepted an invitation
from Mrs. Desmond for lunch and to
gether they went to a down town
cafe for the noon hour. Miss Shaffer
returned to watch the count during
the afternoon.
At 1 o'clock the judges began to
work in earnest. They canvassed the
ballots thoroughly and then went
over thorn again. In a few cases bad
ballots wore found and these wore
thrown out. Kvery coupon to bo
good had to correspond with credits
in the books of the ofllco and had to
bear the signature of some author
ized person from the ofllce. In this
way there was an absolute check
upon all of Uie voting.
The result showed that Mrs. Des
mend had won the contest by 1,109
votes. This result was obtained by
adding the coupons cast Thursday to
those which were published in the
paper for the six months preceding.
The Thursday's vote stood for Miss
Shaffer 10,800 , and for Mrs. Desmond
117,179. The count preceding had reg
istered for Mrs. Desmond 31,981 and
for Miss Shaffer 27,551.
Heforo the contest closed the three
judges had agreed to accept the count
of The News as shown previous to
Thursday. These coupons had boon
counted every day since the start ,
had been carefully sealed separately
and had boon registered on the out
side of the several packages. They
chose , however , to let the result
stand.
Mr. Shaffer Not Satisfied.
When the result was announced by
the judges and when it was seen that
the margin was so very slight that
oven four daily subscriptions for a
year would have shifted the owner
ship of Mag , Mr. Shaffer stated that
ho would like to know where all ( if
the votes came from to give Mrs.
Desmond a majority. Ho had heard
rumors that the contest was unfair.
With this remark The News deter
mined that every single ballot which
had boon cast since the beginning ,
should be recounted and that all par
ties should bo satisfied absolutely as
to the fairness throughout. George
Kblo , therefore , the judge appointed
by Mr. Shaffer , was given the ontlro
lot of ballots and the supervision of
their recounting. He at once sot at
it. In the middle of the afternoon , and
worked until 2 o'clock this morning :
The result of the recounting gives
Mrs. Desmond seventy-two more ma
jority than had originally been re
corded. Several small errors were
found In the count , both candidates
a few too many ballots In some places
and too few In others. In some Instances -
stances illegal votes for small figures
were cast out for either side. The
final tooting , however , showed that
by rights the ballots should stand :
Mrs. Desmond 59,220
Miss Shaffer ' 08.039
Majority for Mrs. Desmond 1,181
The recount having boon made by
Mr. Kblo In behalf of Miss Shaffer
and the total giving Mrs. Desmond a
slight Increase in majority , the con
test was declared officially closed
and the prize horse , buggy and har
ness was declared the property of
Mrs. Elelo Desmond.
Following Is a signed statement
from the judges regarding the two
counts :
Norfolk , Nebraska , October 1C , 1903 ,
Wo , the members of the committee
appointed to canvass the vote In the
horse and buggy contest of the Nor
folk Dally NOWH , beg leave to report
that wo have performed that duty
and wo find the following result :
MI-H. Desmond has a total of uO.UJO
votes ; Miss Shaffer C8B1 ! ; giving
Mrs. Desmond a majority of 1,109
votes. Wo find that all the ballots
cast arc regular and within the con
ditions of the contest.

History of the Contest.
The contest was started by The
News on Kaster. The object was to
Increase the subscription list to the
paper. This has been done very ma
terially. On Monday morning after
Kastor Sunday , Mrs. Klslo Desmond
announced that she would bo a can
didate. A number of children in the
neighborhood had wanted her to got
the prize and she decided to make
the race. At the same time a man
well known In the city paid enough
on subscription to secure 300 votes
for Miss Lucy Shaffer.
Then the race was on. Mrs. Jos
eph Schwartz entered soon after but
dropped out. i'wo or three others
started but none of them finished.
Miss Shaffer and Mrs. Desmond were
pretty nearly even all through the
race. The largest difference was the
one on Wednesday. The majority of
1,181 votes is about the difference
that there has been all along , first In
favor of one and then the other.
Both candidates have worked loy
ally In the Interests of this paper.
Doth candidates were friends of The
News before the contest nnd both are
friends still. The News Is sorry It
couldn't have given two horses nnd
buggies and two harnesses away and
It would have been glad for either
sldo that won. It is sorry cither had
to lose. What has been done by both
sides for it , The News appreciates
and for that it extends its thanks
to the candidates.
