After music nnd Ocvotlonai exercises Mrs.
K. M. Covoll of Omaha welcomed the dolo-
Bates In an Interesting ndJresivhlch was
r03ponded to by Miss Johnson of Omaha.
The speaker referred to the defeat of the

Clark , Mrs , Dulc , Mrs , \Vhite.
The president , Mrs. Andrews , then deliv
ered liur annual address which \viis rather
loritftliy. but was delivered In nnotite-rtulnlnir
way nnd contained miuiy sound arguments
and Interesting statements.
She said that thu members of the union
ihould not feel that tholr work had been in
vain notwithstanding the fact that the
alooii stared them In the face from every
highway and byway. She advised the mem
bers to persist In the fjooU work nnd re
minded ttioin that the true method of secur
ing prohibition was in the education of the
people.
The speaker then took up the subject
of the propriety of women speaking
In public nlaccs and held that
the women had ns good ri ht to
RO upon the platform and turn pcoplo from
vleo and crime as Pattl had to hold countless
thousands enraptured by liar .soup. This
subject was dwelt upon at considerable
length , mid the speaker brought numerous
strong arguments to boar upon her position
in the matter.
Spoakinc of the benefits of the Women's
Christ Inn 'iVmporanco union , Mrs. Andrews
said it widened the vlow.s of its members ,
brought them into contact with humanity In
all its phases and Into contact with suffering ,
thus giving them a better appreciation of the
work they had to do.
In commenting upon the progress made in
woman's work the spoaltorsaid it was aston
ishing to note the advancement ir.ado by
women In the past few years. Woman had
cnmo to bo recognised as having other duties
than those of the homo , and had learned to
conduct herself creditably in positions In
which she might bo placed. The speaker in
dulged in a general discussion on these
points.
The president , also made several
recommendations In the line of the
work of the society , advising the members
to strive for dlvmo grace in perfecting thorn-
solves for the work before them. She also
advocated the idea of bringing the worn of
the union moro prominently before tno public
through the medium of the press. The ne
cessity for extending the membership of the
union was dwelt upon and it was also sug
gested that the constitutions of local unions
bo printed nnd furnished the members.
The president closed by advising her hear
ers not tr > bo discouraged by the defeat of
prohibition , but to ask divine help in carry
ing on the work of the organization.
At the close of the president's address little
Miss Marks recited a poem appropriate to
the occasion ,
The report of the socrotarv was then pre
sented and the presidents of sevor.il unions
represented made reports of the condition of
affairs In tholr respective unions.
The meeting closed with prayer , nnd ni'
the delegates adjourned to a shady nook In
the park where well 1111'ed lunch basliols wore
produced und an old-fashioned picnic was in-
dolgcd in.
The meeting was called to order again at 2
o'clock and reports were made by the county
superintendent nnd the various committees
appointed at the morning session.

a Itoarilui HOIINP.
Last Thursday evening John Crnnnr and
his slxtccn-yoar-old daughter came to the
city from Ida lirovo , la , and registered at J.
W. llonza's hoarding hoiibo on South Thir
teenth street. After supper Cramer , who Is
a carpenter , wont out nnd soon met u friend.
The two proceeded to llll up and Cramer re
turned to his hotel with u big jag.
Johanna look what little money her father
had away nnd put him to bed , Friday morn
ing the carpenter loft. sa > Ing lie was going
out to look for work. Since then ho has not
showed up at the hoarding houso. A HRU
man called on the girl last evening , and
whllo 8ho rather parried direct questions , she
did say that u man had told her that her
father was stopping with a friend lu South
Omaha.
Miss Cramer cannot account for her
father's desertion , but is lirm in
her belief that ho will return and
take her back homo. All the money she had ,
11.25 , shogavo to Mr. llonza , butns she has
been there u wooic now the Innkeeper Is
getting anxious about the father's return.
Mr. llonza said that ho did not like to turn
the girl away , as she only had the clothes on
her back aim no monoy. The girl would llko
to return to Ida Grove hat don't know how
to got there. Miss Cramor said that her
mother was living , but would not say
whether there hud boon any family trouble
or not.
Cramor was soon in the city Tuesday In an
Intoxicated condition , but where ho Is stop
ping could not bo learned.
The police should look up the heartless
father and compel him to caru for his
daughter.

Mr. Edward Kosowatoredltorof TUB Bnn ,
after an exhaustive Investigation us to the
conduct of the postal telegraph system ? of
the continent In his capacity as the accred
ited representative of the United States
government , will give his observations of
this growing problem lu an unusually Inter
esting letter which will bo published in THE
SuNiitr HUB.
The London telegraph ollico , the largest In
the world , receives at the hands of the editor
warm words of pr.ilso. The manner of work
Is described succinctly , the workings of the
pneumatic tubes told of and the cost of tele
graphing discussed.
Moro than three thousand operators ana
clerks nro employed In the groit central tolo-
gwph maiding in London , of whom two-
thirds arc men.
The Intelligence Ollroau supplies lo.xsed
wlro service to the great dallies of lingland ,
Scotland and Ireland , p.uxjrs having the
right to lease a wlro for all night or shot-
periods as they may elect.
Nobody is permitted to receive messages by
sound In the London ofllco , the American
Morse Instruments with resistors and paper
reels being used exclusively by the female
operators.
All the modern telegraph instruments have
places In the crcat opor.ultig room , although
the EnglishWheatstonc _ , with modern im
provements , appears to have preference.
The Hughes printing Instruments , per
fected by English mechanics , are operated on
muny lines.
No discrimination Is permitted in the trans
mission of dispatches , the only "nonsense"
allowable in the whole dopirtment being the
printing of telegrams doilgnod for Quean
Victoria on extra heavy nnd elegantly flu-
Ishcd paper.
The most suggestive feature of the London
postal telegraph system , says Mr. Itoaowator ,
Is the celerity in handling telegrams.
Atliirminghnm is located the most spacious
and prettily arranged telegraph ofllco in all
Europe.
The French postal tolocrraph Is patterned
very much after the English , or rather Brit
ish telegraph , which was establlshod twelve
years ago.
Morse instruments nro used In the Paris
ofllco on nil short circuits , while the Hughes
Invention is used on "through" linos.
With the French people the Uaudot instru
ment is the favorite designed to operate du
plex or quadruples.
In both Franco and England the postal
telegraph employes nro allowed two weeks'
vacation each year , with full pny. Tholr po
sitions nro permanent and promotions arc
made from the ranks.

Contractors Who Can't Get Work on
the iJowoHt Hills.
The board of public works at its session
this afternoon will receive bids for paving
and curbing a number of streets , but tno
chances are that bidders will not bo so num-
ous as In other days.
The contractors are not satlslied with the
manner In which the business is run. They
have no particular complaint to tlio against
the board , but are of the opinion that the
council is not inclined to give some of thorn a
square deal.
In discussing the subject a stone
contractor said , "What's the use of
bidding ) If I should bo the lowest bidder I
would not got the contract without I stood
In. To provo this it is only to watch
the course pursued by the council. Some
time ago the board asked for
bids on material for perman
ent side walks. Tno speculations
called for artificial stone , Colorado red and
white stone , Boroa stone and Highland ,
Kan. , stono. The bid on Highland stone was
the lowest and this fact was certitied up to
the council. That body wrangled ofer the
bids and finally rejected all ot them , simply
bccauso ono member stated that the High
land stone did not come from Highland ,
though ho ndimttod that it was of a superior
quality. Now if councllmen will reject nnd
throw out bids upon such a flimsy pretext ,
what is the use of asking for competitive
bids ? "
The Boroa stone people will not bid on
stone for curbing , as they feel that they
would not bo awarded the contract If they
bid far below other stone dealers. They
claim that the council would uo a lot of jug
gling and then award the contract
lor some other kind of material. This
statement they claim is borne out by the facts
which became'public a couple of weeks ago ,
when Furnas & Sons bid on Borca. Their
bid was the lowest , but it was rejected nnd
the contract awarded to parties who dealt in
Colorado stone.
This Work to He Done.
At the session of the board of public works
to bo hold this afternoon bids will bo
rocolvcd fer paving Seventeenth street from
Hartley to St. Mary's uvonuo ; the alloys In
blocks 53 and St ; Seward street from Twenty-
fourth to Twenty-fifth street ; Twenty-fourth

from Leaven worth to Jones ; Twenty-sixth
street from Farnam to Harnoy and Nicholas
street from Twenty-ninth to the west line of
Isaac's addition. Bids will also bo received
for curbing all of the above named streets.
For paving material the board has desig
nated Sioux Falls granite , rod and white
Colorado sand stono. Woodruff. Ivan. , stone ,
vitrltled brick , and street aaphaltum , form

For curbing material bids will bo received

Prosldont Kerr of Bollvuo collage was a
visitor at the Douglas county teachers' Insti
tute \ afternoon nnd entertained the
teachers with u brief but elequnnt address on
the work and mission ot the successful
teacher.
Iti his address ho took occasion to refer to
Superintendent Muthows as ono of the most
successful and painstaking of teachers and
wont on to omphasUo the fact
that the one thing Indispensable on
the part of the teacher was
n real enthusiastic Interest In the work being
done. Such an enthusiasm , ho Insisted , could
not bo simulated , and thu teacher for revenue
only would soon bo detected by the pupils.
Coming down to the practical work of the
school room , ho throw out some suggestions ,
the vnluo of tvhlch ha had urovoii by long ex-
porlenco in all classes of school work He ad
vised the teachers to bo so familiar with
their school work that they should never ap
pear before n class with either book or note.
Yesterday M. A. Hood , M , S. , principal

Thcro Is u wide difference of opinion
among Chicago bankers regarding Secretary
Foster's effort to extend WO,000,000 of United
States bonds bearing ! > ner cents nt the
rate of 2 per cent. Some are positive ho will
meet with success , whllo others are quite ns
positive ho will fall. The general opinion ,
however , seems to bo that the success of the
move depend ? entirely upon the banks ot the
eastern states. A bank president who did
not wish to bo quoted and who Is firm In
the hellof that Sccrotary Foster's enterprise
will fall , uld :
"Supposing a man were to tnko
5100,000 worth of 2 per cent
bonds. His Interest would , bo $3,000 clear.
The tax would bo 1 nor cent , \\hlch would
reduce It to 1,000. Then comes the expense
of clerk hire , the burning up of worn-out'
hills nnd the like , which would reduce It to
from Jl.SOO to $ ' , ' ,000. which would bo too

streetcars which will , in his judgment , bo
to all Intents and purposes noiseless ,
smokeless and controllable. Thu new
motor car to which his invention is
applied Is in size the same as an ordinary
car. The steam generator , steam engine and
vibrating lover which puts the machinery in
motion arc all located on llio front platform
of the car , occupying about one-third of the
space and leaving room in front for the driver
and seats on ono side for four persons. The
space under the seats will serve as a coal

"There is enough chalkstotio and clay In
sight in South Dakota to supply the trade In
Portland cement In the whole Unttod States , "
said John H. King of Chamberlain , S. D. , at
tbo Grand Pacific. "Portland cement is made
of a certain kind of stiff clay vith chulk-
stone. Now the only plnce In the United
States where nro found deposits of chalk-
stone Is alone the hanks of the Missouri river
in South Dakota. In the ledgds and bluffs
from live miles above Chamberlain flown to
Ynnkton are found rich deposits of chalk-
stone thirty to forty foot thick , and above
them are layers of stiff clay which is almost
of tno consistency of the gumbo in the bad
lands. This stretch of chalkstnno de
posit Is only ubout ono hundred
twonty-llvo miles long , but there is
enough stone nnd clay in'sight to supply the
United States , and when the quarries are
worked It Is believed there will ho found
enough stone to supply the world witn Port
land cement. "

General Miles thinks there should bo an

F1KI3 IN A HOTEL.
SusjkloiiH ! Circumstances Connected
With a Itla/.n at the Occident.
A slleht Uro took place nt an early hour
yesterday morning In the Occidental hotel
under very mysterious circumstances.
When the flro department responded it
found the lira to bo situated in the
third story of the building in nn
unoccupied room. The Hro was soon put out ,
but tne suspicions of the chief wcrn aroused
by llndiug an empty coal oil can in the room.
When the police entered the hotel the In-
mat os lied by the roar windows. The police ,
however , succeeded In capturing n number of
the domestics whom they have Hold as wit
nesses.
Shipard A : Valentino , proprietors of the
hotel , were arrested at the depot just as they
were preparing to leave the city. They were
already under bonds to appear tor
trial on 0 complaint Hied bv Allco
Kh'Knrds , charging thorn with keep
ing u disorderly houso. They wore
placed In jail on this charge and will bo hold
whllo the police Investigate the tire of this
morning.
The proprietors had mortgaged the furni
ture to J. N. Adrian several days ago and ho
was to have advanced the money yesterday.
The building nnd furniture belonged to
William 1'alntor.
An investigation Into the origin of the
Occidental hotel lire waa made yesterday by
Chief Suiter und Barnes and Sergeant Tom
Ormsby.
Whllo there wcro n number of suspicious
circumstances , no positive evidence of arson
was found. Speaking about the matter
Chief Sailor said : "Sergeant Ormsby telephoned -
phoned mo that Iho police wanted te muko nn
Investigation , and so I wont down with
him. As tar as I could see there
was no evidence that the place had
been tired. It is true that I found a coal oil
can about halt full In n room on tha third
lloor , but It was not In the room that was
destroyed by lire. Wo did not llnd any evi
dence of coal oil having boon sprinkled upon
the bad clothing , I oven looked at Iho rem
nants of the boddlng that was burned , hut
could not smell oil on thorn. Whllo the place
may have been llrod , I hardly tiling from the
evidence that wo can prove It. "
From all reports of the place the holol was
a hard resort. Shophard and Valentine com
pelled the girls to do n great many things
upon penalty of being discharged.
It Is understood that Mrs. Valentino will
begin suit for ulvorca from her husband on
the churgu of adtillery.
Mrs. Shophard is nUo reported ns saying
that she found her husband in bed with ono
of the girls.
Allco Rlckards who filed n complaint
against the proprietors for keeping a disor
derly house tells a terrible story ubout the
way Shophard and Valentine carried on with
the girls ,
It is probable that tbo police Investigation
will bo continued today and that Ormsby
will make n coodcuso against the proprietors.

Our Cattle Market K
As a feeder market South Omaha has stood
In the front ranks for some tlmo. The ex
cellent quality of stock received , the liberal
receipts and the freedom from inspection of
any kind have made South Omaha the best
market in the country to buy feeders and
stockers nnd buyers fully rccognizo it. The
report of the Kansas City stockyards for the
seven days ending Friday , August
M , shows that only IfiO head of feeders were
shipped from these yards. The report from
the Union stockyards of this city shows that
2yn > feed cattle were shipped out from this
point during the same seven days. With un-
oxccllod shipping facilities and the grade of
stock to bo had at this point South Omaha
bids fair to become the leading feeder aud
stocker market of America.

Ciiidno , Aug. 20. The National Trans
portation association , composed of the
various boards of trade and commercial
bodies of the United States , completed n two
days' ' session here today. The association
was organized last winter for the purpose ol
protecting the .shipping interests of the
country against railroad corporations and securing -
curing better rates nnd transportation facili
ties. Seventeen commercial exchanges and
freight bureaus were represented.
The principal discussion today was on uni
form bills of lading , about which there was
such n bitter tight between the shippers and
tlio railroads last year when the hitter were
defeated In their efforts to force upon thu
merchants an Iron clad non-ncgotlablo Instru
ment. The shippers Insist uuon having n
voice In the construction of n bill of lading
designed for general use , and they have recently >
contly agreed upon n form that does not con-
lllct with their interests. How best to bring
about the adoption of this form by the rail
roads was the question under consideration
today.
It was finally decided to appoint a committee -
too to lay the matter before the various traf
fic assoelationn In the hone that nn amicable
agreement may be reached. The committee
ns appointed consists of President H. C.
Urior of 1'ooria , Frank Barrv of Minneapo
lis , C. M. Osgood of St. Louts. Ocoreo M.
Lane of Detroit and William II. Young of
Baltimore.
Another committee was appointed to draw
up a proposition to the railroads to base all
through rates on the sums of the locals via
the lake ports. The committee on reciprocal
car service was directed to issue a printed
report for circulation among the members.
The next meeting will bo held in Chicago in
November.

cil marks. The nntno of the l.'hlcaco & Alton
