It li the In entlon of the promoters to make
< hlt a work In Itself Independent of all other
orgtitilratlons. H had been the plan of a
number of Grand Army men to make the
Women's Relief Corps of the Grand Army
the nucleus for the organization. It was de
cided after a thorough dlecurslon that the
work of the Women's Relief Corps Is now
distinctive and would lose a great deal of
Its Individuality and maybe eomo of tm
fcctlvcncsj If the society were to take up
tbo additional task of looking after the vol
unteers of the new army. It Is the desire
of the Women's Relief Corps women to have
their work In connection with the relief ol
the veterans and dependents of the War ol
the Rebellion to go forward Just as It has ,
nnd they are willing to glvo the additional
time that will be required to look after the
new work.
Many Ideas have been advanced In con
nection wlthifae ( plans of workl but all are
more or less nebulous as yet and nonet will
bo presented to the mass meeting as more
than mere suggestions.
At the meeting tomor'ow afternoon ex-Sen
ator Mandcrson , Major T. S. Clarkson and
E. Rosowatcr will address the women. As
the Invitation is general it Is probable there
will bo a big turnout.
Here are some asntlments Individually ex
presses : . ,
FULLERTON , Neb. , April 30. To the Ed
itor of The nco : I endorse General MaiT-
tlerson's idea of woman's relief work during
the war. The little county seat of Nanco
county sent her militia boys last Tuesday ,
Next Monday , wo are told , our military Dine !
has a call to go , nnd we have as patriotic'
a Relief Corps of forty' members as Is to
bo found In the state , which stands ready
for something to do. Yours patriotically ,
MRS. S. H. PENNEY.
OMAHA. April 29. To the Editor of The
Bee : I think General Manderson's Idea of
a woman's relief is a grand one. I believe
and know there are hundreds of grand , loyal ,
patriotic women in Omaha who are ready !
and willing to render relief to the defenders' '
of our country and the grand old flag with'
its stars and stripes. I alee think we should
be allowed to go as nurses if needed , to
help earo for and cheer the boys In their ,
hours of loneliness when sick In the hos- '
pltal. For who can cheer and nurse them !
back to life as well as a goad , kind , loving ,
motherly woman , especially when they are
homesick. During the late civil war manyl
of our bravo boys died In th'e hospitals from
homesickness. By all means give them
women nurses. I am ready and willing to
go at any time I am needed. Respectfully
MRS. B. A. EASTMAN.

Railroad men who have had the privilege
of examining tbo four now tralnatilch the
Burlington Route , on the 1st of May , placoJ
In nervlce between Denver , Omaha and Chicago
cage , say they arc as magnificently equipped
as any In the country that even the
famous limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer or more
luxurious. Every car Is wide vrstlbuled , nr.J
was built especially for the tlurllngtcn
Route.
The four trains are Identical In appearance
and arrangement. Each Is composed ot a
buffot-smoklng-llbrary car ( with bith and
barber shop ) , a palacs sleeping car , a dining
car , and two reclining chair dars. The buf-
fet-smoklng-llbrary car to something ne.v
for a Denver-Chicago I In , ? . It Is a veritable
clubhouse on wheels , where ono may read ,
wilte , smoke , talk , or play cards , while
traveling at the rate of fifty miles an hour.
It U handsomely carpeted end furnished with
settees , cushioned essy chairs , a lavatory ,
a writing desk , a compartment for card-
players , and a well stocked buffet. The cur
rent periodicals and newspapers are on flic ,
and a carefully selected library U provided
for the free UHC of passengers. The olesplng
car Is a gem , end the ttialr and dining cara
are In every way worthy of the train of
which they form an Important part.
Thcso palatial trains leave Omaha dally
at ll&lj : p. m. for Denver and at 12:05 : a. m.
for Chicago.
AT THE HOTELS.
Charles Francis of Las Crucc-i , N. M. , is
In Omaha , on bis way to tbc Black Hllle.
Mr. Francla Is an experienced miner , has
been In all the leading camps of tbe United
State * and Mexico and at present Is Inter
ested in eomo properties In New Mexico.
Although Mr. Francis was In favor of free
silver , he says ttiat thcro was no sense In
the talk of the silver orators v.tio pointed to
Mexico an a country whlcCi lii prosperous.
Ho says If the Inhabitants of Mexico are
replaced by an equal number of Americans ,
and no extfa supplies are furnished , the
Americans will starve to death , o little
does it require to support Mexicans and so
poorly do they live. The lower class of
Mexicans do not receive to exceed CO cents
a day nages aad frequently do not eat meat
once a week.
"More American capital Is Invested in Mex
ican mines than Is Invested in any onc"fitatc
In the United States , " said Mr. Francis.
"Labor la sa Inexpensive that mining can
be carried on very cheaply there and most
of Ino ore produced Is shipped to ( tie United
States. Lead and silver are mined together
extensively and a duty Is placed by the
United States on lead , but llio silver cornea
ih free. It has frequently occurred to me
that a duty placed on that silver ore would
do moro to protect and help American ralcica
than any other move that could be made
on behalf of miners. The mcst extensive
silver veins In the United SMtcs have been
worked out' and if this Mexican product
wtco taxed the quantity of silver , marketed
in this country wotild bo materially lessened
and the prlco would necessarily rise. "
Mr. Francis eajs tbat at present tbe Mexi
can government seems quilt stable , that
Diaz U a mo.lel ruler and very popular , but
tuat If ho were to dis the country would
probably bo subject to revolutions , as the
ether republic * south of us are. In case of a
revolution tbe property of Americans la In
ei-eat diuiger , because the lower classes of
Mexicans have a great hatred of Americans.
As an illustration cf how Ignorant and adverse -
verso to improvement the lower classes ot
Mcxlcani fire , Mr. Francis sajs that several
years ago an agent for one ot our leading
harvesting machinery 9cmpinles sold several
binders in Mexico and expected to sell more ,
cs the largo farmers were much pleased
wild the machinery , ttut that Mexican labor
ers destroyed tbcso machines for fear that
no work would be left for them In case ma
chinery woe Introduced. Since that time ,
however , American farm machinery has been
Introduced quite generally and Is preferred
to all other. Even the Bngllcb and French
companies buy their machinery from tbe
United States.

ositions were received , among which was one

DEBATING TJTB OFFERS.
Pcufold moved that all bids be referred ,
stating that the matter was too Important
to bo settled without full consideration.
Burgess declared that It was tlrro that
leflnlto action was taken. The matter ba'3
been twice postponed , and if a site were to
bo purchased It should be done at once In
order that the bulldlog could bo ready when
school opene'J ' In the fall. He said that ho
was satisfied that the Tukey proposition was
the best that was available , and ho was In
favor of accepting It. He moved , as a sub
stitute , that the proposition be accepted and
that the president and secretary bd author
ized to conclude the purchase as soon as the
title was approved by the attorney.
'Buchauan ' Ueclared himself In favor of the
motion. IHe suggested that If the Cas.3
school was enlarged Instead or buying a
separate site the board would save the salary
of a principal and janitor , which would
amount to $27,500 In ten years.
Klowlt , Van Glider and Hesa oppceed ac
tion oo the ground that the price , waa too
high and after some further debate Burgess'
substitute was lost , as follows :

REPORT FROM INVESTIGATORS.
The special committee appointed some time
ago to employ expert assistance to look up
cases of alleged violations of the license laws
with a view to Increasing the revenues of
the boar ! submitted a partial report , as fol
lows :
Mary Wnllenz , at 1318 Leavenworth street ,
a running on tpcn saloon with only a gov
ernment license , and wa understand that
thU place has been running In this way for
the last tUo yeiirn.
Th/ot following places are running two bars
under one license : Jacob Kopnfd , at 703
North Sixteenth street and IMS Webster
istrcet. These two places are. connected by
an alley In the. rear. License No. 51.
George Mitchell. 1307 and 1309 Douglare
street , ana bar downstairs and ono upstairs
In the place known as the Nebraska MUHC !
hall. Wo are Informed that 'Mr. Mitchell
receives $303 for the prlvi'.cg-e of running
the bar dcupistnlrs on his llcenrc , No. 61.
Dell Welrw at 102 and 104 South Fourteenth
street. Bar on the ground floor and also up
stairs in tha place known as the Royal Music
hall. This man runs a rather loose jointed
place and M not overly particular about
closing his bar CTI Sunday.
Minnie Wlrth. saloon at 324 South Tenth
street and music hall at 100 $ Harney street.
Both bars on the ground floor.
All other music halls now running are
doing business from one bar , but a few are
to start up In the near future on the two
bars , one license , plan.
Following Is a list of places running a
wholesale and rotnll business In two sepa
rate buildings under one license :
Frlck & Herberts , at 1001 Farnam street
nnd 312 South Tenth street. The place on
Tenth street Is connected with the other
by a small door In the rear of the Farnam
street building.
L. Klrsch , ST. , at 1011 , 1013 and 1015 Farnam
street. Wholesale liquor house at 1011 , retail
bar at 1013 run by Oscar Manger , and the
Vienna dining room at 1015. All three of
these places are selling liquor under license
No ; 93.
Walter Melee & Co. , wholesale house at
214 South Fourteenth' street nnd retail
saloon run by Jack Norton at 216 South
Fourteenth street.
Rlley Bros. , wholesale house at 1118 Far
nam street nnd saloon run by William
Huston at 1120 Farnam street. Both places
doing business under license No. 55.
OTHER PLACES LOCATED.
Chairman Penfold of the committee stated
that a number of other places bad been
located- but bad not been Included In the
report for the reason that they had already
taken out licenses as required or were about
to do no ,
In reply to a question Attorney Galnes
etatcd that It was unquestionably the duty
of the attorney to bring such criminal action
as is necessary to bring the offenders to
time. He opined , however , tint no criminal
action would lie against people who were
selling from two bars on ono license. This
U a disputed point and In his opinion the
decision lies with the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners. If It Is desired a test
case cau be made by lodging a complaint
with the board and then taking an appeal
to the supreme court.
After tome further discussion the commit
tee it as instructed to have criminal pro
ceedings instituted in the Wallens case , cod
the attorney was Istructed to make a test
of one of the cases In which one licence
was made to answer for two bars. The
test will probably be mode on the Kopald
case.

WARM TIME AT WOMAN'S CIDB
Energetic Debate Occnn Orer a Question of
Constitutional Law.
ON THE ELIGIBLITY OF MRS , HARFORD
Frlendu anil Opponent * of the Pres
ident Dlonnti the Mutter \\lth
Grent Vigor nnd Just a
Little Warmth.
The session of the Omaha Woman's club In
the auditorium of the First Congregational
church yesterday afternoon was exciting to
the large number of members present , amus
ing to the few visitors there and interesting
to all. H < was the preliminary skirmish of
the political 'battle ' of the year for the great
organization , aad the campaign mar eald to
have been given a. good start. The insur
gents who would f ln unseat the present
queen and Install another mcoarch In her
stei'l were repulsed with some loss after a
spirited action of two bourn.
The meeting for the election of a presi
dent will be held In two -werku , and the right
of yesterday afternoon was over the question
Whether -Mrs. William P. Harford , the pres-
oat chief executive of the club , is eligible
to re-election. Those who desire that Mrs.
Harford should preside over the Oe.lbe-ratlons
of the club for another year were of the
opinion that eho was eligible , whllo those
who were booming the candidacy of Mrs.
Mary Gerard Andrews wire quite sure that
Mrs. lHarford wen not eligible to re-election.
The former faction won out by a vote of 85
to 37 on the Goal ballot , 'haying 'three more
votes than was necctaary to make a two-
thirds majority.
IMrs. IHarfcd was elected .president of the
Woman's club to fill the unexplred term of
Mrs. Peattle , who removed to Chicago. She
served 'fhe remainder of that term and was
then elected prcsldenfof the club for a full
term of one year. There Is a provision In the
by-laws of the organization to the effect that
no officer shall be eligible to re-election after
having served two terrco inthat office. The
question argued with so muti earnestness
anJ ability yesterday was whether IMrs. liar-
ford had served two terms as president and
was therefore Ineligible to re-election.
'DOJ3USS1NG ' THE KNOT.
On the one side It was argued that Mre.
Harford bad certainly served two terms ,
and many precedents were cited to tbow
that the law considered a part of a tevm a
term full and complete. This faction looked
Kio matter up and brought In legal opinions
from Hon. James M. Wool worth and other
prominent attorneys to support its conten
tion. The opposing faction maintained that
Mre. Harford had served but one term ,
within ( to meaning of the constitution , and
that the expired term of a forme- ' president
whili oho rcrved ebould not count aci a
ccmpleto term cod so keep her from being
eligible to another re-electbn. It was evi
dent that Mrs. Harford's Immenre popularity
helped t3 support thla contention.
Motions , resolutions , amendments and
amendments to the amendments came up
to the chair at a rate of more then twenty
knots an hour. They came BO fast ttat the
chairman herself wee at times perplexed ca
t ? the question before the house. Mrs.
FcTd thoucht It was somewhat too delicate
for her to preside over tile d'.ecufslon that
concerned her so intimately , and the called
Mrs. Andrews to the chair. If all or the
dlacufslon was not acording to accepted rules
of order , It was decorous throughout , and
even when the cae side was firing hot shot
among the opponent's camp It wes done wild
a suavity and gentleness that distinguished
the assemblage from moat parliamentary ecs.
slons.
It was with some difficulty that the de
baters could ted time to listen to the reg
ularly prepared program for the entertain
ment of the club , but the parliamentary battle -
tlo was suspended for twenty minutes in
order to hear the program. Tills was scant
time , for a.most excellent program had been
prepared by 'the ' French hsetory department.
It included a piano solo , a polacca by Von
Weber , by Mra. H. P. WCiltmore ; a paper on
"The Women of the French Salons , " by
Mrs. C. H. Mullln , that showed considerable
( bought and research In Its preparation ; two
well rendered vocal solos by Miss Gertrude
Kountze ; an excellent paper on "Richelieu
and Mazarln , " by Mrs. A. T. Hewitt , and a
recitation , Macaulay's "The Battle of Ivey , "
by Mrs. Frank Hamilton , delivered in the
Inimitable manner of mat well known elo
cutionist.
As a proof of Its patriotism the club de
cided to purchase a handsome American flag
and A club banner , to be displayed at every
meeting of 'the club.
A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like It , but there Is really
no trick about it. Anybody can try it who
has Lame Back and Weak Kidneys , Malaria
or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure
himself right away by taking Electric Bit
ters. This medicine tones up the whole
system , acts as a stimulant to Liver and
Kidneys , is a blood purifier and nerve tonic.
It cures Constipation , Headache , Fainting
Spells , Sleeplessness and Melancholy. It Is
purely vegetable , a mild laxative , and
restores the system to Its natural vigor.
Try Electric Bitters and be convinced that
they are a miracle worker. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only EOc a bottle at Kuhn &
Co's Drug Store.

erior Suits.c.
Notwithstanding the fact tlmt worsteds have steadily
risen for the past few months The Nebraska is today
offering men's fine worsted suits for as little and in some
cases for less money than we sold them last year. Some
of the line suits that came with our second purchases are
wonderfully cheap. There for instance is that beautiful
silver grey worsted at ten dollars. Fifteen wouldn't be
too much. Such suits are seldom sold in other stores for
less than sixteen to eighteen dollars. They are beautiful
suits , beautifully made up and cut in the top "notcIToJ
style. Here is another at twelve dollars in a bronze
worsted in pincheck pattern regular merchant tailor
goods. If we marked them fifteen dollars we could get
it just as easily , but we make a little as it is and we get
The Nebraska talked about at your home. These second
purchases are the cream of the season's offerings by the
best makers in the land. Starting at six-fifty for a pure
worsted suit and ending at eighteen dollars they give us
a line that is as superior to the showings of other stores
as Uncle Sam's battle ileet is to the mackerel boats of
Spain. Dew-ey think so ? We know so.Seeing is
knowing.
