u
LINCOLN , Juno 3. ( Special. ) The an
nouncement of the appointment of W. C.
Cavcn of Dawcs county as a member of the
Stnto IJrand and Mark commlslon seems to
have stirred up the populists of Sioux and
Uawes counties to such nn extent that Gov
ernor I'oyntcr has decided to hold up the
commission for some tlmo and It Is possible
that on account of strong Influence being
brought to bear another mnn may be selected
by the chief executive to fill the place re
served for Mr. Caven. According to the re
ports that reach the state house the popu
lists of the two counties arc determined to
prevent the appointment of Mr. Cavcn and
a strong protest has already been filed with
the governor. Mr. Cavcn is a democrat and
Ills appointment would not only be offensive
to the populists for that reason , but It Is
charged that during the last campaign ho
used his Influence In securing the election ot
Representative- Fisher , the republican candi
date for the legislature from Dawcs county.
The populist candidate , W. C. Qerlock , was
defeated. This led to charges of treachery
ngalnst Cavcn and the opposition that has
developed in this county against his ap
pointment to a place on the Druml and Mark
commission Indicates that the offense has
not been forgotten. However , political faith
is not the only subject that enters Into this
case. The law authorizing the governor to
appoint members of tbo commission requires
that they shall bo engaged In the cattle busi
ness. It Is alleged that Cavcn Is In no
Bcnso a cattleman.
The announcement of the appointments to
the Urand und Mark commission were made
last week by Governor I'oyntor , but such a
liowl went up In Oawes and Sioux counties
that none of them have been commissioned.
The Crawford IluMctln , published In Caveti's
own 'town ' , recently contained an article In
which It was stated that the populists of
that territory considered Cavrn , In a politi
cal sense , as full ot tricks as a dog Is full
of fleas.
Governor Poyntcr was Interviewed today
by W. J. IJlowctt , clerk of Sioux county , In
the Interests of the protest that has been
made by the populists of northwestern Ne
braska , but the result of the conference was
not announced , The case has bobbed up at
a rather Inopportune tlmo for Governor
I'oynter. for Just now ho Is being severely
criticised by members of his own party for
rewarding too many democrats with ap
pointments.
Demi Knlr for n lllnlioprlp.
It Is reported In this city that Dean Fair
of Omaha Is mentioned for the position of
bishop of thf diocese of southern Indiana
and n number of Uplscopallans here have
been asked to write letters to church people
in Indiana favoring the appointment. Whllo
art the members of the Episcopal church
In 'this city would like to see Dean Fair
secure the promotion they nevertheless are
very anxious to have him remain in Ne
braska nnd consequently It Is not surprising
that they do not take very kindly to the
proposition. Several of the Lincoln delegates
to the council recently held In Omaha wcro
in favor of making Dean Fair blbhop coad
jutor of the diocese of Nebraska , but they
wcro all moro than satisfied with the final
selection. Dean Fair Is looked upon as a
valuable man by nil Lincoln members of the
church nnd his departure from Nebraska
would bo a disappointment. They feel that
the Held In Nebraska Is n much broader ono
nnd that ho con accomplish more for the
church by remaining In this state.

kidneys are out of order or diseased.
Kidney trouble bus become so prevalent
that It Is not uncommon for a child to bo
born nllllcted with weak kidneys , If the
child urinates too often , If the urine scalds
the flesh , or If. when the child reaches an

should be toward the treatment of these Im

Crtftc of Sim in Populist Ill-form In the
ItnMliiK" Asylum.
HASTINGS. Neb. , Juno 3. ( Special. )
Polities arc playing a pretty part at the
Asylum tor the Insane at thin place nnd
there promises to bo plenty ot trouble over
the sudden turn of affairs. Dr. J. F. Stcclc ,
the newly appointed superintendent , Is
cither being worked by populist politicians
or else he has started In to farm the state.
When Mr. Stccto took the superlntendency
of the asylum ho assured Miss Edith Me-
Kelghan , daughter of the late William OIc-
Kclghan , that she would retain her position
as bookkeeper , and also assured Miss Marie
Do Tucr that she need not have any fear ot
losing her position as usher. But within the
last couple of days Miss McKclghan , Miss
DC Tucr and Mrs. Bosworth have been re
moved from the payrolls of the Institution.
The greatest complaint being made against
Superintendent Stcclc Is by BO mo of the
leaders of his own party because In remov
ing Mlsn McKclghan from the Institution
there wore two appointed to take her place.
Miss McKclghan kept the books and did all
the stenographic work for $50 per month.
Superintendent fitcclo has now appointed
Daniel Alphcn bookkeeper at $50 per month
and Miss Waldorn stenographer at $30 , con
sequently the state Is now paying $ SO per
month for the Identical work that ban been
done up to this tlmo for $50 per mpnth.
Daniel Alphen , the newly appointed book
keeper , seems to have quite a pull on the
populist parly , as ho has held positions nt
the Soldiers' home , the Institute for the
Blind and one or two other political jobs.

his lora Is $3,000 , with only $900 Insurance.
Ono of1 the most peculiar freaks played by
the tornado and just how It can bo ac
counted for no ono Is able to say , was that
a neighbor's horse was carried over ono
mlle by the storm. The tornado used this
horse as a barbwlro spool and rods of barb-
wlro was rolled around Its body. Some
account for It by stating that the horse
must have been rolled along the full length
of a barbwlro fence.

INTERESTING REVIEW OF THE YEAR'S ' WORK
lla llecome Stronjr In
Mrmherflhlp , InclnilliiK Jinny
Prominent Women , AVIione Iii-
llncncc In IleliiR 1'clt.
When the Omaha Woman's club was or
ganized six years ago It presented some
thing new In conception nnd detail of plan
to this part of the world , as this was the
first club of Us kind In Nebraska.
Broader In scope than charitable organ
izations , missionary societies and temper
ance unions , more altruists in purpose than ] |
reading clubs , study classes and fraternal I ! i
orders , and more democratic both In Ideal '
and administration than organizations
usually attempted by women. It Is not j i ,
strange that success seemed questionable.
It was Raid that so many women of dif
ferent creeds and conditions would nc-vcr
como Into real sympathy ; that they could
never even agree ; that self-seeking would
control , and that Jealousies would prevail ;
that the membership would Iluctuato and
the work would become superficial ; that
committed * would mcddlo and fads would
flourish , and that the club would como
to an Inglorious end within two years , the
women having meanwhile learned a le.ison.
History , however , often reveals the un
expected and this dismal forecast has not
been realized. The club , In closing Its rec
ords for the year , a few days ago , reported
a membership of 627 women , who arc not
only working harmoniously together , and
finding Intellectual and social Inspiration In
the procres , but who are proving them
selves to bo capable of conducting public"
and business affairs with success.
There Is , for Instance , the balancing of
j Income and expenditure , a feature which
j men's clubs do not always accomplish.
The Woman's club keeps Its annual dues
nt the low amount of 'three ' dollars , Insist-
ng that no woman who sympathizes with
: ho objects of the club shall bo debarred
'rom membership on the grouud of ex
pense. Thcro Is , however , a rigid rule re
quiring these dues to bo paid In advance ,
under the penalty of loss of membership ,
and since neither excuse nor money will bo
accepted after the last meeting of the
year , the treasurer finds herself nt each
annual meeting with the funds for the next
year's use In hand.
" \Vhnt HUH Ileen Aceomiillnhcil.
Then comes the cutting of the "garment , "
which Is always so sklVlfully done that thcro
Is some "cloth" to cover others , beside a
remnant for emergencies. Last year the club
entered generously Into exposition responsi
bilities , carrying Its share of hospitality nnd
entertainment nnd providing , at heavy ex
pense , an auditorium for the educational
congresses that were held. H continued the
"travelers' aid" at 'tho ' railway station ,
thereby entertaining "unawares" not angels ,
but confused , misdirected nnd unfortunate
women travelers. It made Its annual con
tribution of $50 as usual to the state 'travel- '
Ing library , thus helping to provide books
for clubs out of reach ot public libraries. It
forwarded a monthly stipend to the Rescue
Homo for women1 on Plnckney street , which
Is conducted by the Salvation Army , keeping
In 'touchwith ' the work there through a vis
iting committee , of which Mrs. C. W. Damon
Is chairman. It placed to the credit of the
museum committee In March , 1S9S , the sum
of $300 to be used In the Interests of a pub
lic museum , the directors of the public
library moving In the same direction a little.
Relations were established with them and
through united effort the city now has the
beginnings of a collection of articles of sci
entific and historical value. Looking toward
the securing of valuable material1 from the
exhibits of the Greater America exposition
the club continues the committee under Us
efficient chairman , Mrs. Townc , whose coworkers -
workers will be Mrs. T. H. Crelgh , Miss
Laura Scott and Miss Ada Tobltt.
Such action Illustrates the public spirit of
the club and Its desires 'to ' co-operate with
the organized effort In civic andi educational
lines and the same Idea Is expressed In other
ways , as , for Instance :
The city Improvement ircmmltteo , directed
by Mrs. Blanche L. McKelvey , conducts a
work Indicated by Us name. Its chief effort
heretofore has been in the direction of rous
ing civic pride by means of lectures , mass
meetings and work In the schools and such
sowing has not been In vain. Ono of the
lectures , namely , a talk by Dr. Glfford on
"A Clean City From the Aesthetic and Hy
gienic Standpoint , " stimulated the ideas that
Omaha like other cities of its class should
bo provided with receptacles for refuse. A
committee was appointed to sco what could
bo done In the matter and It reports that
upwards of thirty business men have each
agreed to furnish a receptacle and 'that ' It
hopes soon to have seventy-five placed In
tha down town district. Another subdivision
of the city Improvement committee will wngo
war upcn weeds this summer , while still an
other group of women Is finding something
worthy of respect through a study of the
city's ordinances.
The Industrial committee , Mrs. Ella B.
Loblnglcr , chairman , Is engaged In a differ
ent line of public work , though Its results
will be no less welcome If It succeeds. This
commltteo believes that since Omaha has
passed beyond the village stage of existence
It Is no longer necessary for retail stores
to maintain such long working days. It Is
therefore making a canvass among the mer
chants looking toward an agreement to close
either every day during July and August
nt 5 o'clock p. m. or at C o'clock every day
In the year. This movement has the sup
port of the teachers and of many business
men , and the Indications are favorable to
success , although Saturday night cloning
may not 'be secured until the exposition
la over.
The club seeks to be Intelligent , too , con
cerning the larger public questions , and
these are therefore presented to the general
meetings by committees which often glvo
weeks of study to a subject. Indeed , the
club Is quite conservative about expressing
Itself , novcr doing so without deliberation
and rarely discussing more than two or
three general public questions In a year.
Those which Interested the women last year
wore : "Tho Peace Proposal of the Czar. "
Mrs. Koysor , chairman of committee ; "Civil
Service Reform , " Mrs. Cole , chairman , and
"Property Rights of Women in Nebraska , "
Mrs. Andrews , chairman.
Illvernlty of TiiKte IN Provided For.
Of course In eo large a club there IB great
diversity of taste , and this Is provided for
by permitting any five or more women to
form a department for study. Bach depart'
ment elects Its own leader , chooses Its
course of study , asks the library commit
tee for such text books as It needs and
has representation on the board of directors
through Us leader or some member.
In accordance with this arrangement there
now exist fourteen departments In the club ,
j Three of them are composed of students of
history , devoted respectively to English his
tory , led by Mrs. Sudborouph and Mrs. Vail
of South Omaha ; French history , under di
rection of Mrs. Hewitt , and German history ,
Mrs. McK ! vey , Itader. It teems to t.- gen
erally understood 'that these classes stand
for thorough work. They meet every week.
Another department having an enviable rep
utation Is that of French conversation , led
by Mrs. Slbl. This class will not rest
through the summer , but will meet every
week as usual. Mrs. F. H. Cole has charge
of a class of English literature , numbering
thirty wcmen. It has for two years given
Itself to the etudy of Shakespeare , and will
continue to do so next year , concentrating
" " " " nnd f
upon "Richard III , "Julius Caesar"
"Mvuh Ado About Nothing "
The department of phllo ophy anil ethics ,
led by Mrs. Andrews , also numbers thirty.
It Is In the midst of n two yrs' courno. In
volving the study of ethics n presented In
the great literary masterpieces.
department of oratory , Mrs. Dorward ,
leader , studies not only the art of expres
sion , but literary Interpretation anil ex
temporaneous fprnklng as well. It RHes
public rccltrtls frequently.
H Is the aim of the department of edu
cation , led by Mrs. Sudborough , to enlarge
the relations of mother * nnd tcflchem. and
of late this Idea has carried the depart
ment out of the club room and Into the
school room. With the co-operation of
teochers , mothers' meetings have been in
stituted In a number of schools , and topics
of Importance have been discussed there.
The househoUl economic department , as
conducted by Mrs. Pugh , also reaches out
toward the mothers nnd the homes of the
clty. It has conducted a series of weekly
cooking lectures at the Child Saving Insll-
tuto during the winter , furnishing there-
for , not only teachers but utensils nnd food
materials. H has compiled a book on homemaking -
making , which has had a gratifying sale.
nnd It was the most generous Institution In
the city last year In the matter of enter
tainment , giving Us hospitality without
qualification to all the delegates of the Na
tional Household Kconomlc association ,
whrn It met hero In October. From house
hold economics It Is but n. step to social
economics and the club has ft department
center for the latter branch. It Is under
, the direction of Mrs. Klla U. Loblnglcr nnd
i It has followed Us course In municipal gov
ernment In Great Britain nnd on the conti
nent by n year devoted to municipal condi
tions In the United States , considering es
pecially those upon which the prominent
reformatory movements have n bearing.
The department of parliamentary practice
Is n section of practical Importance to the
club , for Us fifty experienced women are
leaven the whole
no more than sufficient to
unparliamentary mass at a general meet
ing. Mrs. Harford Is the leader of this
class , which Is ono of the moat Interesting
In tbo club.
Miiiilenl Department.
The musical department has for Us leader
Mrs. Frances M. Ford , and It conducts three
Independent lines of work. Through co
operation It furnishes to the public six high-
class muslcales for about the prlco of two.
It conducts a class for sight reading nnd
chorus drill , whose business management
was entrusted last year to Mrs. W. 11. Wy-
mnn , and there Is also a class In musical
history , which was conducted last year by
Mrs. C. M. Shcrrill.
The art departmcut has a membership ot
100 women , most ! of whom have been In the
class slnco Us organization six years ago.
It carries on a thorough nnd systematic
course of study In the history of art under
the direction of Mrs. W. W. Kcysor. It has
a proprietary Interest In "tho things that
are seen , " for It owns not only n. number of
handscmo Bvoun photographs framed to
gether with portfolios of unmounted photo
graphs for art study , but It posscscs a stero-
oDtlcon. All these treasures It uses broadly
In the- Interests of art culture. The framed
pictures arc hung In public places nnd es
pecially In schoolrooms. The portfolios are
freely offered to the art clubs of the Btato
nnd the itcrcoptlcon tins done duty In many
an Illustrated lecture to ralso funds for
schoolroom decorations. This department
also gives public lectures , which It calls
stercoptlcon reviews and which follow the
trend of the course of study.
The current topic department , Mrs. W. H.
Garratt leader , Is the largest department
of the club , boasting 125 members. Its con
siderations , of course , cover a wldo range
of topics nnd It is customary at each bi
monthly meeting to consider seriously two
or three leading once ana to toucn upon a
scoreof olhois , not forgetting current liter
ature.
'In all this variety of Intellectual work the
club Is constantly able to enlist the assist
ance of experts and last year's records not
only show complimentary greetings from
President McKlnley , Admiral Schley and
General Mnnderson , but glvo a list of the
following , who addressed the club :
Lorado Taft of Chicago. Rev. Ed
ward Trcfy of St. Joseph , Prof. Sherman nnd
Mrs. A. J. Sawyer of Lincoln , Superintend
ent Wolfe and the Rev. Irvlnir Johnson of
South Omaha , Mrs. Langworthy of Seward ,
Mrs. Stoutenborougb of Plattsmoutti and Dr.
Glfford , Rev. Mr. Herring and Dr. Rosewater
of Omaha.
The social life of the club is not small
nor unimportant. It means something In
this city of distances to bring 600 scattered
women Into relationship. It means still more
to these women and the community that
there Is an organization toward which con
genial women from nil parts of the country
gravitate. The busy social committee , of
which Mrs. C. E. Squires Is chairman , claims
that It entertained last year the elect of
the land and that It was a privilege.
The club IB a warm supporter of the- State
Federation of Clubs and n member of the
General Federation , claiming special honor
from the fact that one of Its members Is
serving a second term on the directory of
that body.

SAN FRANCISCO , Juno 3. The London ,

shipped on board the steamship Alameda
the 150,000 sovereigns , from which the 5,000
missing sovereigns were abstracted , today
refused to receipt for the baVanco of the
money. They are assured that the shortage
will be made good by the steamship com
pany. It Is understood that the company
will do this.
A similar robbery occurred on the steamer
Oceana. on the Australia-Oriental route
Eomo tlmo ago. and It Is suspected the same
thieves robbed the Alameda. Twenty-five
thousand dollars was stolen from the Oceana
in exactly the same manner as from the
Alameda ; thnt Is to say , the box containing
the coin was removed and the seal replaced.
