The nnnual mcctlnB of the Humane so clety was held yesterday afternoon In tin the parlors of the Young Men's Chrlstlni association. There was not ns largo an at tendance as was anticipated , but those win did attend took an enthusiastic Interest litho the work. The venerable D. C. llloomcr who has been president of the organlrntlot for several years , was called to the chair Kcv. Henry Cokcr was chosen secretary am read the minutes of the last annual meet Ing. At the conclusion of the reading thi president made his annual report , which wai as follows : I would respectfully report that whlli llttlo actual work lias been done by tin olllci-rs of the Humana oclety during tin last llftcen months , yet that the purposes which It was orsanlzcTl to promote liavi ant been entirely overlooked. The press of the city hns frequently mentioned the subject , and set forth In strong , stirring language the cruelties practlecd bj thoughtless persons upon the animals In their charge , as well as upon the children under their care. The members of the po. llco force , who wcro made olllcers of the society at the last annual meeting , have also done much good work in these direc tions , and , while not many actual arrcstf have been made for Inhuman treatment , yet they have from timeto time , by timely suggestion and discreet atlvlcu to individu als , helped to stay the cruelties too often coming under their notice. I think there In a general fee-ling In our community In favor of helping on our work , anil It need. only a little earnest organization to mnkc thin more effective. To this end we need more money , that we may both purchase humane literature for general circulation nnd employ agents to effectively carry out the Immune objects of our society. 1 ear nestly hope that Home efforts to secure these desirable ends may bo adopted nt this meeting. I think this meeting may be regarded na the annual meeting of the society , and It will , therefore , be right to elect olllcera for the ensuing year , ns required by ar ticles v nnd vl of the constitution. I would add that the payment annually of $2 In required for membership lu the society , and I would suggest that this bo reduced to Jl and that the trvaqurer to bo selected at this meeting be instructed to extend the membership ns fnr ns possible and thus en able us to prosecute the work of the so ciety with more vigor anil success. The report wao received and Its recom mendations as to the reduction of the mem bership fcea were concurred In. The work ol electing efllccrs wati then taken up. Mr , Hloomer was re-elected president. Mayor George Carson vlco president , A. Overtoil treasurer nnd Henry Coker secretary. The directors ! elected wcro : Colonel W. F. Uaker , Henry Paul , Henry DoLong , II. W. Tllton and Chief of Police ICcl Canning. The treasurer's ; annual report t'howecl th'it there wcro no unpaid bills nnd there was still a balance of ? S In the treasury. Discussions * na to tlio best methodo of se curing the objects of the society led to the pasKigo of a resolution requci'tlng all mem bers of the police force to take an active In terest In the association's work. The treasurer and secretary were Instructed to extend the membership of the society nnd promote Its objects by circulating among the people suitable literature. Other practical ways were discussed for extending the In fluence of the society. The subscription to a number of periodicals suitable for the work wao ordered to ho re newed. _ Time ( o Clean Up. It Is getting about time there should be a general cleaning up. This nice weather gives a person tlmo. to think how much nicer the city would look if the streets were cleaned up and put In shape before winter sets In. The merchants also realize that It Is time to clean up a llttlo and get rid ol odds nnd ends. Hughes , the Men's outfitter , at 415 llroadway , has caught the fever and has commenced cleaning up. He Is making a great cut on remnants In Shoes , Under wear , Caps , Gloves , etc. , before the holiday trade fairly sets in and will devote thlo week to cleaning up. Better drop around.

( Spe clal Telegram. ) The Freeman suicide an attempted murder last night has been th topic of conversation In this city today , am many nnd varied are the surmised cause for the tragedy. Dr. Freeman's testlmon before the coroner's Jury relative to the re latlona existing between himself and th boy Is in part as follows : "The boy arrlve In the Valley Sunday from California am went out to his uncle's , east of town. II came In on Tuesday , and had a long con versatlon with mo in regard to his staying with me , as I Intended that ho should llv with me , ns ho Is the only child I have. Ho was perfectly friendly and not n cross won passed between us. After our talk ho wen back to his unclo'a , and remained there unti yesterday afternoon , when ho again cam Into my ofllco and wo had a long talk eve his prospects here and 'the ' prospects of getting ting employment. Ho went away from the ofllco feeling In the best of spirits. The boy must have been Insane , for there Is no reason In the world why ho should have at tempted to murder me. Wo had never hoi a cross word or any disagreement of an ; kind nnd the only reason I can see why ho did so was that he was crazy , " Upon the body of the dead boy were found two letters one from the father here and the other .from the mother at Plcas- anton , O. The general tenor of the father's letter bears out his testimony as to klm relations to the son , beginning : "Dear Hey Denny I write you today , according to promise , but have but llttlo to nay. I only want to ask you If you want to come to Iowa ? It .would please me very much to have you here. I think you could get work of some kind near here , then you would not bo among strangers , and 1 do want to see you. " This letter Is dated November 25 , 1890 , and continues In the same strain to the end. Three days before this , the ever trtio and affectionate mother had written from Plcas- anton : "Denny , my Dear Doy How I would love to know what you are dolngl Do you go to Pabbath school and to church ? I have thought of you to much since you have been gone , and spent many sleepless nights , won dering where you were. "I wrote two letters to you when I heard you were In California , but do not know as you got them. I do not know what you arc doing or how you arc getting along , but whatever happens always try to keep up a bravo heart. Trouble will como In thlo world. None can escape It : it Is sure to come , to all some time.
