gray guBli. " She concluded her talk by a
glowing climax , concluding with the uiamc
of William McKlnley for the next president

MRS. CONDON IS PRESIDENT.
Ones again the auditorium of the Young
Men's Christian association was crowdci
with patriotic women wearing the pretty
badge of the Woman's Relief corps. The
morning sesMcn was n lively one. There wcr <
caucus work and wirepulling that nouh
have dona justice to ward politicians. There
were four candidates In the field for the
honor of president , and the supporters of
each put up a spirited fight. The Omaha
members had a candidate , the wife of a
prominent townsman , and they worked for
her election \vtth a hnrty good will , Bui
the state delegates preferred another nm
she wan chosen.
The newly cbcted president Is Mrs. R
Condon of Pawnee City. During the past

fact that the session opened at 9 o'clock am
It was nearly high noon when the first officer
was elected , The election was the only
business transacted.
The contests for the other offices were
not nearly so spirited. Omaha failed In Its
election of president , but succeeded In elect
Ing one of Its women to the office of senior

number of years with great faithfulness to
the duties Imposed upon her. Mrs. Hay Is

coln , and Miss Anna K. Hunter of Nebraska
City , , was appointed to purchase a token
of esteem for Miss Bucla Davis of Kearney
Miss Davis has performed a large part o
the clerical work Incident to the prescn
encampment. That her labors have been ap > -
predated was evidenced by the hearty man
ner In which the gathering took up the plan
to reward her with a present.
A largo number of the representatives
from the Grand Army of the Republic were
present In the afternoon , and eight of them
made phort addresses. A song , dedicated to
the Woman's Relief corps , was also sung. *
In the election of officers , which was con
tinued from the morning sesrlon. Mrs. Anna

R. S. Wllcox of this city , chairwoman o :
the executive board. Six delegates-at-largc
were selected. t
At the last annual meeting of the relic :
corps a committee was appointed to securp
a suitable token of esteem for Miss Gertrude
, Herr Connell of Grand Island , whoso In
defatigable labors for the order have done
much toward lifting It Into the high place
It now occupies In Nebraska. Mss ! Anna
E. Hunter , as chairman of this committee
yesterday presented Miss Connell with E
handsome badge of the order. H Is s'tuddci
with several small diamonds and the work
manship on It Is of the very highest order.

COMMITTEE NAMED TO MEET CITIZEN
AVIieelrr'n Opinion Hint the Mntlc
.Should lie Settled Alone ullli
County CommUNlonem nml
. \ nnvHHornot Conctirrcil In.
The question of a change In the prescn
system of assessment , which held the board
In the city council for several months tw
years ago , and was finally squelched by th
legislature , was revived at the adjournet
session of the council last night. It wa
Introduced by the following resolution by
Taylor :
Wherea" , we recognize the good result
obtn'ned from the joint meeting of a com
mlttee of citizens and n like commlttc
fr m the city council on the annual tax
levy ordinance , and ,
Whereas , This Is but one step In th
direction of n better nnJ more economlcn
municipal system , nnd Hint the really Im
iicrtnnt matter Is that of unequal nnd un
just assessments , by which the owners o
email lioupc.i and real estate arc paying an
unjust proportion of the taxe ? , therefore ,
Resolved , That the chnlr appoint a com
mlttee of live , of which the chairman o
the tlnancc committee shall be chnlrmnn
to consider the subject of assessments , In
corncctlon with a like committee of cltl
zens , nnd that said committee be Inrlructct
to report Its recommendations to the cltj
council.
Christie wanted the resolution p&recd. He
raid ho wa < 3 looking for a chance to mec
those fellows who had been "howling re
trenchment" while the levy was under con
"Ideratlou.
Taylcr stated that the question Involved li
the resolution was being dlscupud In Chi
.cago and other largo cities. It was time tha
a reform was Instituted In Omaha.
Wheeler said that the nine assessors wer"
the men to whom the city \vould have to lonl
for a more pqultable valuation. The men
who put up the most money would get the
lowett valuations , Just as they always had
He opined that the beat plan would bo to
have a committee see the county commls
sloncrs and the assessor ? and find If some
Improvement could be secured.
The resolution was adopted and the com
mlttco was composed of Kennard , Taylor
nenawo , Durkley and Kment. It was In
structeJ to confer \vlth the county commlo-
floners and asaessors as suggested by Major
Wheeler.
A resolution declaring In favor of thn bll
now before congress , by which state bankt
cro placed on the tame basis as natlonn
banks ? , was Introduced by Kennard. He ex
plained that he had-simply Introduced the
Tesclutlon by request , and had no opinion ar
to the advlfablllty of passing It. Wheeler
opposed the resolution on the ground that the
piesent laws were good enough , and It was
finally referred to the finance committee.
On recommendation of the committee on
public property and buildings further actloi
In regard to leasing rooms In the city hal
for court room purposes was deferred.
An amended runner ordinance was Intro
duced by Prlnco and referred to the commit

A few of the barbers of the city met In a
hall at Fourteenth and Dodge streets last
night In pursuance of a call to organize
a barbsrs' union. A couple of hours were
ipcnt In talk , but as not more than a tenth
of the barberu In the city icsponded to the
call no union was organized. As thin wa ?
the second attempt to form a union , and It
Failed , It was the general sentiment that no
further effort would bo made to organize.
The meeting developed a feeling that may
loeslbly result In the cutting of prices. Most
of these present were owners of small shops ,
ind these claimed that the proprietors of the
ilg establishments were making ridiculously
fniall rates to monthly customers. Such
'olt Inclined to begin a cutthroat warfare ,
although no united action was taken. The
'eellng was Intensified from the fact that
none of the proprietors of the big shops
wore present at the meeting. It was held
hat there was no excuse for this , as the
iropossd meeting was advertised by circulars
hat were distributed to all the shops.
It ID understood that the proprietors of
'mail shops have for some time bad knowl
edge that rotes were being cut by the big
establishments , but that no action was taken
n the hope that all harbors of the city would
come Into an organization , the purpose of
vhlch was to keep prices up ,

inatlnees.ic commencing- , a < cheap-prlcet
mntlneo on Sunday afternoon" . Special prices
will prevail for this engagement. Mr. Hcege
has devoted a great deal of time and study
to the work of 'elaborating ' the character
of the Swede in''A Yenulne Yentleman , " and
If his work' ' In "Yon Yonson" can be taken
as 'an ' Indication of what he can do , It Is
pretty safe to assume that there Is a treai
In store for playgoers. It Isn't so much the
riot of Mr. Heego's play which will attrac
public attention as the humorous and
thoroughly delightful character he will en
tertain his auditors with In the solid , manly
warmhearted Swede a type as or'glnal as li
Is truthful. The new piece deals with the life
of a young Swedish mining engineer who has
taken up his residence In the Coeur d'Alene
mining country. He has many adventures
humorous , pathetic and exciting , and hi :
unfailing good nature , Imperturbability and
drollery keep him In touch with his audience.

Heege with a .very strong company , Including

Of the year people are looking for bargains The
careful buyer will note that the place which is selling
at close prices in the busy season is likely to give the
greatest values in the dull season of the year A store
like ours cannot afford to carry over stock from one
season to another. It pays us better to sacrifice what
there is left and begin every season with new goods.
We have in every department something which must
be c'osed out and in this case cost or value is not
considered.

The open winter left too many ulsters and over"
coats on our hands. We have two lines of ulsters on
which we have made a deep cut. One is a good black
Frieze with cassimerc lining which sold all season for
$7.50 , we offer now at $5. The other an excellent
Shetland of dark mixed shades , lined with good cas-
simere and well gotten up , we offer now for $6. This
garment is worth fully $10 , even now.
The deepest cut is naturally made on the finest
overcoats. The cheap and medium grades are nearly
sold out but what we have left of our finest kersey
overcoats have been marked down to prices at which
we formerly sold the cheaper qualities , and if you can
find your size you will get a bargain as is a b argain.
