the order , riot representatives , are arriving.
The visitors arc being met at the depots by
committees of local workmen. I3very train
U awaited and the Incomers are at once
taken In escort b > the committees and
brbUght to the hotels. A half dozen of the
hostelrlcs of the city arc taking In the guests ,
no one of the hole's having been named aa

The corridors of the hotels at which the
dalcgatcs are stopping present an appearance
xomcuhat similar to thut which they bear
just previous to a polltlul state convention.
AViro pulling Is being conducted at a rate
and in a fashion that would not bring dis
credit upon some of Ncbraska'b
must astute state politicians , some
of whom , In fact , are present
as delegates. This political work Is being
done In preparation for the election of
officers , which will bo or.o of Interesting
features of the convention. There are hosts
of candidates for the principal olllccs and
the majority of these arc putting the finishing
touches on a campaign that has lasted In
Homo cases for months.
The convention will be called to order
promptly at 10 o'clock this morning In
the Crelghton theater. On the following
days thn grand ledge will meet at 9 o'clock.

the troubles experienced by the membcra
of tlio exchange with the lead pipe thlcvea
for several jcnrs and asserting that It was
not until Cox came upon the dolectho force
that any efforts were made to capture ami
punUli the \nndnls. The resolution then
called upon the Hoard of Flro and Police
Commissioners to consider this excellent worli
by the detective , In view of the fact that his
resignation had been called for , and the ex-

according to his AA'altham watch , a few seconds
ends fcst. Ho had such confidence In his
watch that ho did not believe It was at fault ,
and felt Euro that some mlstnko had been
made at the observatory. On telling some
of his friends of this conviction , he was
laughed at for his impudence In daring to
pit hlaVnltham watch against the accuracy
of the Hoyal Observatory. However , to set
the matter at rest , he wrote to the Astron
omer Hoyal , telling him of his conviction , and
asking him If ho would let him Know whether
ho wca right or wrong. In return ho re
ceived the following reply :

REVISE THE CONSTITUTION
Young Women's ' Christian Asjociation
Discusses Certain Changes ,
CONSIDERS A PROPOSED AMENDMENT
DrcMcN In I'm or of Incorporating the
AVonl "I nnucllciil" In ti ! < - II-
Acllou to lie I'lir-
tlicr CoiiKliliruil.
The first session ot the annual meeting ol
the Young AVomen'R Christian association fet
the purpose of revhlng the constitution-
for the election of olllccrs took place nt the
I'lrst PrcsbytcrUn church last evening. It
proved a most Important meeting In view of
the fact that a much dlscuf cd topic , that
of the requirements for active membership ,
was to ho settled. For several montha paiit
the subject of the revision of the constitu
tion pertaining to the requirements of on
active member has been a mooted point. The
membership of the association has been about
equally divided upon , this point , many holdIng -
Ing out for the maintenance of the old con *
stltutton , while others would have the re
quirements more strictly denned.
At the meeting last night Mrs. Tildcn ,
president of the association , was elected to
the Uialr , with Miss LUUcfleUl as temporary
fcccretary. Upon the completion of the roll
call It was found that a sufficient majority
necessary to Incorporate any amendments
which might bo devised to the constitution
was lacking , as there' were only 119 prtacnt ,
whllo a majority consists of 113. The re
vision of the by-laws , however , woa pro
ceeded vvlth , the results of the session to bo
handed over to the next meeting' , when It Is
hoped n majority will be present.
The section of the constitution pertaining
to the membership which has caused the dis
agreement In the association , and which In
at present In force , reads as follows : "All
women" over 15 jcars ot age , of good moral
character , may become active or associate
members by the payment of an annual fee
of $1 ; active members only having the right
to vote and hold ofilce. "
The proposed substitution , as recommended
by Mary D. Dallantyne. member of the con
stitution committee , reads as follows : "The
active memhcrfl of this afooclatlon shall con
sist of women over IB years of age ; who are
members In good standing In evangelical
churches and have been accepted by a ma
jority vote of the membership committee , or
by the board , active members only having the
right to vote and hold ottlce. Any woman
over 15 jears of age , of good moral charac
ter , may be elected an associate member by
a majority vote of the membership commit
tee or board. Associate members shall be
entitled to all privileges of active members
except to vote and hold offlco. "
The proposed amendment Is further quail
lied by the provision that all those at pres
ent enjoying active membership. , although
not members of evangelical churches , shall
not bo thrown out.
The proposed section produced a long dis
cussion. Mrs. F. F. Ford discussed It fiom
an Impartial standpoint and contended that
the dissimilarity of views In the various
churches were many. It was not a question
of whether every member believed certain
creeds , but whether they believed and fol
lowed a life based upon that of Christ.
Miss Thomas threw a bomb Into the meet
ing by stating that a certain active member
was a professed atheist. She thought that
all such shoulJ 'be debarred.
Mls Mulhall stated that the Incorporation
of the word "evangelical" meant the prac
tlcal debarring from active membership o ;
Catholics , Unitarians , members ot the Salva
tlon army and of numerous other sects , whi
ought , under a fair administration of th
laws , bo admitted to the right of holding
office. The question was further discussed by
.Miss O'Brien , Dr. Lankton , Miss Dora Cady ,
Miss Shlrly , Addle Halle , Miss AVllson , Mrs
Hooblcr and others.
Upon a vote by ballot the old ecctlou wan
turned down , with 57 In favor of Its retention
and G4 for Its abandonment. The mluoiltj
icport vvs accepted vvlth a vote of 65 foi
and 42 against. The question of Incorporat
Ing the new section Into the constitution
will como up at the next meeting , which
will be held Monday night. The election o
officers wilt also take place at that meet
Ing.

AV , H , Huston , cno ot the Inspectors for the
Civil Service commission , arrived In the city
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of In
vestigating the removals of Dr. AVhlto , John
Zcllar , Mary Kljnn and Mary Dawson. Don
C. A > er , chief of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry , was called upon for eomo In
formation In regard to the matter and was
found to be In avery bad humor. Ilcjond
admitting that * in Inspector was In the city
Ajer refused to talk , Intimating that ho
lud already talked too much about the mat
ter under Investigation. Inspector Huston put
In the afternoon talking vvlth government em
ployes who had made oflldavlts hearing an
the removals.
H will be remembered that the removals
were made shortly after the November clcc- *
tlon and that the discharged emplo > cs ap
pealed to the Civil Service commission , that
Is with the exception of Dr. White , who de
clined to appeal hh case. Through the ef
forts of Senator Allen the attention of con
gress was called to the matter and the Civil
Service cornmltglon Instructed to Investigate.
H Is understood that no public Invwtlgatlo
will bo made by Inspector Huston. Ho wll
merely look over the ground and report hi
findings to the department at AVashlngton.
A tenote Investigating commlttca has been
ordered to look Into the matter and when
that committee arrives the sessions will , I
Is understood , be open to the public. Dr
AVhlte was removed by J. Sterling Morto
for neglect of duty , whllo John Zellar
AVIIllam Holmes , Mary Dalton and Mar
rijnn were Inelnclent and Incompetent. A
least these are the reasons given by sccrc
tary Morton for the removals. The discharge.
cmplojcs assert that they were removed fo
political reasons.

nnd the big bridge Is closed to all trafllc ex-
tcpt foot passengers. AVIien the Iron
cjUnder surrounding the concrete was re

out of plumb. Portions of the concrete were
found to bo In good condition and as hard na
stone , but the most of It was decidedly soft
In some places the cement which was taken
out was found to be so soft that It could lie
crushed between the fingers. Thlo showed
that poor mnteilal had been used and that
the work had been carelessly done nnd that
the cement had not been thoroughly mixed.
The largo Iron cjllndcrs will be taken down
and rlvlted again after which they will bo

" \Vorl4. Itrfor the Council.
The city council will meet tonight for the
purpose of disposing of routine buslnrra. It
Is expected that the pctltlqns asking for the
repeal of the new sanitary ordinance and
the abolishing of the offices of milk and Ice
Inspector will be presented to the body. For
sometime past a number of petitions have
been In circulation which wore largely signed
by business and professional men. The sign
ers to the petitions do not seem to care for
the repeal of the ordinance EO much as for
the discharge of Inspector John Carroll.
Thcro Is an organized mo\ement on foot to
oust Carroll , and It Is known that some of
the members of the council' fcvor the scheme.
Other members consider the Inspection of
milk a necessity , and whllo they arc not
particularly stuck on Carroll will hardly vote
to repeal the sanitary ordinance.

"Wo arc receiving moro Inquiries on new
business , the Inquiries concern larger con'
tracts , and our actual orders are far mort
numerous than ever before at this season ol
the jcar , " said Adolph J. Vlerllng , man
ager of the Paxton & Vlorllng Iron workf
of thin city , to a Hoc reporter jcstcrday.
This statement was borne out by the actlor
of the company In Increasing Its force tc
more than iloubbp what It has been for sev
eral years past and In considerably length
ening the time of the old as well as the
new cmplojcs.
The company has been running for several
jears past w-lth fortyjlHo employes' . Yes
terday somewhat over 100 men went to
work. All the emnlujcs are now vvor ! < lni !
sixty hours a week , six < Hys of ten hours
each , against a week of only forty-five hours
for a number of jcars past. In taking on
emplojes preference naturally has been given
to old employes , but even these were not
sufficient and the management has been com
pelled to advertise for experienced Iron work-
cts.
Continuing Mr. VIcrlhiK said : "Wo find
business opening up unusually well for the
rurlng season. Our three most Important
contracts , which sufflct to keep us busy lt
present , are : The new five-story structure of
the Nebraska Clothing company nt Fifteenth
and Knrnam streets ; the Hearst Public library
at Lead City , S. D. , and a large building for
a lumber concern at Fort Morgan , Colo. We
find that the contracts tint are being awarded
this spilng , besides being more numerous ,
average about 25 per cent bigger thin those
on which we made estimates last year.
MUCH WORK IN SIGHT.
"In addition to the new work there Is an
unusually large amount of repair work being
done this spring. The Increase In repali
work from last jear Is 75 per cent. Owners
of buildings that have needed repairs for
some tltno are now calling for cellmates on
the chaiiRps doslred. AVe are now figuring on
considerable changes In the Iron work of the
Karbach block , Fifteenth and Douglas streets
Then theie Is the big Job of the Hurllngton
passenger station at Tenth and Mabon streets ,
which every firm Is desirous of securing
The cbntract has not > et been awarded , but
the firm that secures It will bo kept busy
for some time
"Wo also notlcs that many jobs on which
we made estimates a jcar or more ago and
which we have long alnce concluded were
dead , are coming to life again. Only the
other day we heard from a western firm that
cskcd i.a to bid on a new structure a sear
ago. At that time the firm found It was
unable to bulldj the stiucturo It wanted and
postponed the whole scheme. It has Just
been decided to go on with the building , and
wo have openeJ up negotiations again I
have noticed a number of such cases.
"No , sir , I have no use for these chronic
complalneru that are talking Nebraska
down DuInc s generally Is away ahead of
what It has been for a long time. Thte I
not faucj- , but It Is fact Refer to th
list of new building enterprises mentioned Ii
Sunday'p Issue of The Dee. Besides the do
scrlptlon of the new Burlington structur
It was shown that permits for 127 buildings ,
calling for the expenditure of nearly $150 ,
000 , had been taken out during the months o
March and April. That te sufHclent proof ,
think , that we are not dead yet awhile. "

Don't let that cough hang
on any longer ; it may make
you serious trouble and be
come constitutional' , and pos
sibly lead to pneumonia. You
will find that ordinary cough
specifics will not reach the
eeat of trouble ; you must
take something to build up
and reinforce the body.
Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver
Oil will usually do that when
every other thing fails , at
least that is the verdict of the
people as well as the medi
cal profession. It is particu
larly true of children and all
weak , delicate persons.

What do you know about underwear i Can .you tell
yarn from thread ? Do you know Lisle from Balbriggan -
gan ? Can you tell a lock stitched Avristband from one
that is sure to unravel in course of time ? Do you
know the difference between 12 tlircad balbriggan and
16 thread ? Between single and double shuttle ? Be
tween thread that is doubled and twisted and thread
that is twisted but once ? On
to these questions depends whether you buy your un-
dcrAvear right or whether you buy it wrong. Today in
our corner window we show examples ot the biggest
underwear values ever offered by any store. The prices
are 250 , 35c , 450 a garment and while the prices arc very
