Manager Lemon of the Christian homo re ports the Thanksgiving receipts so far as beliig fully up to the anticipations of the friends of the great charitable institution. The report , of course , Is not by any means complete. Only the donations sent In by nearby friends have yet reached the home- . The "Homo Band , " now over 30,000 strong , Is scattered nil over the United States , and even penetrates Into Kuropo and Asia. In view of the fact that the great hulk of the receipts como from abroad , the local mem bers of the homo band feel an especial inter est In having n generous contribution from Council Bluffs nnd Omaha and vicinity. There are n large number of Omaha children being cared for In the home without money and without price nnd Omaha has contributed less than almost any other city. It Is the earnest dcslro of the workers that the Thanksgiving and Christinas receipts will be sufficient to give them the victory over the pressing debt that has huug over the homo during the year. The financial depression during the year has operated ngalnst the re ceipts , and the result has been that the weekly offerings have been the lightest In the history of the home. This lias left a debt of large magnitude , nnd It Is this debt that the home workers wont to see wiped out. The Thanksgiving donations have already been sufficient to discharge the dangerous debts and If the workers at home do as well as those abroad the Christmas nnd New Year offerings will win the victory. Nothing , perhaps , Indicates the wonderful Interest that Is taken In the homo all over the country better than the observance of what is now known as "Christian Homo Prayer Day. " This Is the first Tuesday In each month. Manager Icemen conceived the Idea some time ago , and in the Christian Homo , a paper printed nt the Institution , ho made thu suggestion nnd named the day. The first month there were about twenty letters received announcing that the day had been observed , the next month there were fifty and slnco then they have come In by hundreds. These letters came from all parts of Christendom , even India and China. At the present time the observance of the custom has arrayed n band of Chris tian people , extending almost around the earth , uniting with one voice In prayer for the wclfaro of the orphanage and the hun dreds of the homeless children It is shelter ing. The spectacle Is certainly an inspiring one , even viewed as the world views such things. Today is prayer day , and for thirty minutes , from 8 to 8:30 : , thousands of prayers will be offered up. Appropriate exercises will bo held at the home. Hev. C. W. Brewer of the Trinity Methodist Kplscopal church will conduct the meeting. A quartet of young people will participate In the exercises. tiI\IIY nii.oM.VKKS : ! AX AIM-ISA i , . \H | * Aid for tin * I'niir Ilurliii ; foltl \\VllllUT. Henry DoLong , who has done perhaps more than any one man In Council Bluffs to help the unfortunate , has addressed the following cppeal to the public to assist In earing for Iho poor during the winter : "To the Friends of the Poor : I dtslro to call your attention nt this time to the unusually largo number of poor and des titute families in the city , and through this means to make an appeal for their aid. The county Is doing nobly , but there nro ninny who for various reasons can not bo effectually reached by this means. There are cases of poverty and actual des titution continually coming under my no tice , where the parties would be very much averse to having their needs made known. "In this city tluro Is many a wage earner out of work , his credit with the butcher and grocer Is exhausted , and yet he would rather suffer than ask for aid. In these cases a llttlo money properly used would bo far reaching. Thceo are the people I desire to help , and I want to do It con fidentially , ns I would n brother or sister. Therefore I make this appeal for funds , to bo used according to my discretion In relieving this urgent need. I desire re sponses only from those who feel confident that the money entrusted to my care will bo used In such a way as will serve the purpose and Intentions of the donors.

( Special Telegram. ) Expert evidence In the Paul murder case Indicates that death might net have resulted from strychnine poisoning. Prof. A. A. Bcnnelt of Ames college , gave expert testimony. He said that the presence of strychnine In the human body was not necessarily a proof ihat the person died from poisoning. Dre. Hull. Mcdberry and Hall also gave expert testimony along the satno line. Proceedings In the murder trial developed much expert evidence wholly fav orable to the man charged with murder , nnd greatly strengthened the conclusions of counsel for Paul that the death of Mrs. Dulln might have resulted from other causes than strychnine poisoning. While the testimony of the physicians In describ ing the symptoms Tf strychnine , epilepsy nnd lockjaw did not vary materially from that of the witnesses for the prosecution on the satne points , the opinion of Prof. Den nett of Ames that the presence of poison In spinal cord , brain , liver nnd kidneys did not nccwsarlly show that death was due to poisoning nnd that the action , of gclscmlum and strychnine were very similar , and that these drugs would respond to the same chemical nnd physiological tests , wcs In di rect conflict with some of the state's evi dence , and was the moat favorable tcetl- mvny Introduced by the defense. Jcmes Paul was put on the stand to testify ns to his whereabouts on the Monday that Mrs. Dulln died. Ho was extremely nervous , but answered the few questions promptly.

The state's finances are in such a condition that legislators consider some action Imperative. The- treasurer la unable to cash warrants from month to month and thcro Is now n deficit ot nearly $500.000 am ; Increasing every month. Taxes come In slowly and the appropriations ore niucli larger than the revenue , even If It could nil bo collected. There Is a serious prospect that the state , to make up the deficit , will have to Issue bonds , for the first time In many years. Members of the legislature are moving for a revision of the revenue law ! , nnd many of thorn will insist on a measure for the assessment of all property at actual cost. The present system Is to assess one- tenth values and the state's present troubles are attributed to Inequality of this system and to the opportunity It gives for conceal ing personal property.
