Grant post is noted all over the sUite for Its
camp fires. These are held every winter and
nro attended by three or four hundred
members of the Grand Army. No do-
tall Is omitted which wouldd add to the
correctness of the old familiar scone. A gen

omnipresent chuck-a-luck board , beans and
ooftco servo to recall to the veterans the day ?
when they forsook homes and loved ones te

la ono which npjxsnls almost uiorothnn any
other to the public he.irt , and the Idea Is
Inrttcly prevalent that this Is the primary ob-
Joctof this hoinu. Indeed , surprise Is often
ovprcssoit that any other Inmates are found
there.
No ono conlil appreclnto more fully than
your coimnitteo the need of an exclusive homo
for ngcil women , whore , in their dccllnhiR
years , they might bu free from the Imstloand
ohmiKo incident to the KoltiK ami roniini ? of
transients , often with their little ones , bMwo
mmt not lese sight of the fnet that our city
offeis no other even tompornry shelter to the
youiiR nnd middle aged women of ten de

True , since our organization , two other in-
stlt.itlons have been opened , the Urlelio nnd
Open Door , but tliclr work and ouiv ) Is not
the same nnd wo do not conllict.
To the above mentioned unprotected class
wo do not ofC.'r a iicriininont homo , On the
contrary , thoy.uro always udvlsod to proaipt-

"O , It is iiltlful in a whole city full ,
Friends she had none. "
To these our door must ever he open until
they uro helped to hobolf supporting and
thus made self respecting. ,
To the iiRed women , there Is always , under
proper conditions of course , a homo furnished
until they shall hear the bummnns culling
them to their heavenly homo , whore they
shall sit down , welcome guests at their
Father's table.
During the year , wo have cored for as
transients llfty-slx women nnd thirty-six
children. Some of these Have gene from us
Into service in various capacities. Some have
been helped to reach friends nnd others' have
boon assisted In establishing hernias of their
own in which they can earn their own liveli
hood.
Of permanent inmates wo now have seven ,
nnd two Imvo died. The oldest Is eighty-
seven years of nRO. Usually they seem con
tented , but who can doubt that the way often
seems lone to the better country.
The holidays of tho-ycar have not been for-
potten by the friends of the Institution , and
Thnnlcsglving aud Christinas have found our
larders filled.
The committees have been faithful In their
wnrlr , which has fallen heavily on tue low
engaucd in it , Some of our good workers
Imvo been obliged to withdraw , from nctlvo
service , lot us hope only for n time.
The devotional committee lias met and
held services nearly every Sunday afternoon.
This service has become quite tub event of
the week. Occasionally , as the coimnitteo
have seen ilt , ministers of different denomi
nations have been present and conducted ser
vices. -j
Wo desire hero to express our thanks to
Drs. CuscaUcn and Burroughs who , without
reward save that which comes from the
ilohiK of n kindly deed , have responded to
our many calls made upon them for pro
fessional services. Other medical nttentlons
linvo been given , but those are our recognized
physicians , reproscntinj , ' the two prominent
schools of medicine.

To the matrons who have been in charge
we hero offer our thanks , for much patience
In dinicult and often most trying circum
stances.
The association Is very happy to announce
that all payments have been made on the
pioporty on Uurt street and the title Is now
vested in our society. Five thousand dollars
and Interest 1 When wo think of It as a
whole how largo the sum seams , und wo
wonder how we over raised it.
Ono thousand dollars was given In bequests
f5K ( ) from an Invalid who rested with us a
few days , and S. > 00 from our constant friend.
Mrs. 0. F. Davis. No storied urn could
stind a sweeter memorial of our gentle
sisters ,
The raising of the rcnmining sum is an un
written history s.ivo iu the memory of the
few who recall the effort it took to go unin
vited Into the ofllcos and business plncos of
our citizens. Payments always promptly
mot nnd finally cancelled bespeak the generos
ity with which the callers were received.
After the nropcrty became ours , needed im
provements were considered mill the long-
wlshed-for laundry presented Hi claims. A
committee volunteered to solicit for this. A
convenient addition boars testimony to their
success. As this soliciting was done In the
heated summer months , the ladles engaged iu
It are entitled to our thanks ,
Thus have wo hastily reviewed the years'
worlc , and uoulii render thanksgiving to God
for His care over us nnd the way in which
Ho has led us often through dark places.
Uevlowiug this work , the thought promptly
presents itself : Have wo done all that wo
couhl or should have dona ! To few is It
given to look back over n completed work
nnd feel that it 1ms always been "well
done. Then wo need feel no surprise
that our summing up docs not bring
complete satisfaction , "Is'everthelest when
wo compare our present surroundings with
our small beginning which many will recall

Never In the History of our Business in Omaha has our Stock
of Christmas Goods Been so Profuse and Rich
as THIS SEASON.
The newest and best thoughts in all forms of gold and silver and precious stones are
awaiting the inspection and approval of our many friends.
Elegant onyx and marble clocks , English hall clocks with chimes ( accurate and reliable
for time ) . New shapes and colors in pottery , fine specimens in German Worcester ware , Our
designs of Rookwood are the pride of all.
We have the finest of cut glass and we safely say the whitest glass on this marlcet. Our
rich China is all encased , making it very desirable for rich presentation gifts.
We are sole agents in this city for the Gorham ManufacturingCompany's wares , and
to seekers of sterling silver this alone should convince all that we are headquarters for solid sil
ver. A look at our immense assortment will convince all.
Our importation of precious stones enables us to show the rarest gems to be found in the
west , and yet we have some beautiful medium priced goods.
In the line of gold jewelry the artists have surpassed the taste of any former years , and
have some very rare and modest shapes and styles.
In fact we are simply loaded with rich , rare and elegant goods.
Our prices are always the very lowest for the quality of goods.
I am not ambitious of being reputed as "Cheap Jeweler , " for , with such the city is too
well supplied. To those who buy regardless of quality , design , finish and beauty , and merely
because it is cheap , I would say , "My goods will not suit you. "
To those who wish the finest quality of goods for"the lowest prices at which such goods
can be made and sold , I would say , ' 'I offer you goods which cannot be found elsewhere
at LESS RATES.
Fine goods arc not always the most expensive. I claim that I offer a hotter article at the
same price ( and in some instances for less ) than is generally charged for goods of inferior design ,
qualit } ' , finish and intrinsic value.
The Growth of our Business in This City and the Methods of
Fair Dealing we Pursue and the Large and Varied Stock
we Always Have on Hand is the Best Advertisement we Have.
