After an appropriate program of music and

As' the chapter now Includna 112 members,
It has become necessary to secure a reg'j-

In spite of It propensity for delving Into
state and municipal affair and other things
said to be equally unwomanly and beyonu
the concern of the "gentler sex," the Illi
nois Federation of Woman' Clubs has taken
a turn that should still all masculine ap
prehension and convince the doubter that
all of thla talk about woman outgrowing her
sphere, losing her love of family and home
and her delight in those things prescribed
by men as best fitted to make her charm
ing, loveable and otherwise Interesting, is
alt a mistake and that women' club are
the surest if not the shortest and most ap
proved route by which these misguided
mother and wive and sisters are to find
their way back to the kitchen range, the
mending baaket and the nursery and mascu
line approval. Through the effort of Mrs,
P. 3. Peterson, chairman of the domestic
science committee of the Illinois federation,
and the co-operation of the other women
the annual meeting of the organization to
be held next fall at Cairo, is to Include a
'eature as unique a It promises to be pop
ular a completely equipped kitchen , and
model dining room. "The tendency of tho
club," aay Mrs. Peterson, "I toward the
real, the actual thlnga of life and the worn
an'a club should be the home of advanced
kitchen thought as well as of the other sub
Ject that engross the club woman' mind
today." The art exhibit, the musical and
programs on every subject are'eommon fea
ture of the majority of federation meet
ings and while domestic science and house
bold economics have com in for their share
of attention and emphasis, the Cairo meet
ing, unless some other convention put it
plan Into effect before the date of that
meeting, will be the first to provide a prac
tical exhibit and demonstration of this ma
terial lid of the home-making problem.

INDEMNITY BOND THE BASIS OF ACTION
Cases llrow Oat nf Jsiismrnla Sees red
Against the City ty Parties In
jured Throaah Open ,
Ditches.
Th cases of the city against the Omaha
Gas company are coming up In the district
court shortly. In thfse cases the city
seeks to recover Judgments paid in the Ela
felder case, amounting to I3.&00; In the
Burke case the sum of $2,300, and In the
8chlrgel case the cum of $500. At the time
the gas company was granted a franchise
here It gave a bond to indemnify the city
against any damages accruing from acci
dent caused by excavjtlons in the streets
or alley. The contention Is the Elsfelder,
Burke and Schleget were Injured by reason
of the opening of the streeta by the gas
company. This must be ao. a after a num
ber of trial the court have sustained the
claim and rendered Judgment against the
city. Now the city 1 seeking to recover
money paid in Judgment and will show In
court tha agreement entered Into between
the ga company and the city at the time
the franchise wa' granted. These case
have been carried on in the courts for a
number of year and now the city attorney
and the other city officials hope to recover
on the bond given by the company. The
amount of the bond given at the time the
franchise waa granted is exactly the same
amount of the Judgment paid by the city.
Should the city recover, the money will go
into the general fund.
That Water Contract.
The city of South Omaha has a contract
with the Omaha Water company to run
eighteen months yet for the supplying of
water to 202 fire hydrants. The annual
water rental for these hydrants amounts to
$12,300 a year. This sum is supposed to bo
paid to the water company In two payments,
ono on July 1 and the other on January 1.
It now takes all of the money levied for
water purposes to meet these payment.
The signing of the water bill by Governor
Mickey cause South Omaha officials to
wonder where the city will land shoull
Omaha acquire the water works. It Is pre
sumed that the city of Omaha will carry
out the existing contract, but what ia f.o
come after Is worrying some of the people
here. Those who have meters pay 85 centa
per 1,000 gallons, while, the house rentals
without meters are the same as in Omaha,
Hydrant rental are $60 a year. Some time
ago an effort waa made to 'induce the coun
cil to extend the franchise of the company
ten years' upon condition that the city re
ceive fifty fire hydrant free of cost for two
years, and the rate from that time to he $50
per hydrant per year. There was some op.
position to this measure and so the propo
sition waa laid aside. Now it is considered
too late and the city officials are inclined
to think that they mads a mistake In not
entering Into a twelve-year contract when
the opportunity offered.
Nets Johnson Killed.
Nels Johnson, a section hand, employed
by the Union Pacific, wa struck by Union
Pacific passenger train No. 43 late yester
day afternoon and killed. At the time of
the accident Johnson waa working on the
track, and evidently did not hear the train
approaching. When he did start to get off
the track he waa not quick enough in his
movements and the engine struck 1 him.
When picked up H waa found that Johnson
had su3tained a fracture of the skull,' ev- ,
eral broken ribs, beside other injurle.
The remains were removed to Brewer'
morgue, and Coroner Brailey notified. An
inquest will be held as soon as the train
crew can be summoned. Johnson lived at
Nineteenth and Monroe streets, and leave
a wife and four grown daughters.
Prospectors Return.
W. B. Check and J. A. Caver are back
from a two weeks' trip through the tim
ber section of Oregon. The idea waa to se
cure first-class timber land, and in this
they were quite successful. Mr. Cheek
ays that there is an abundance of timber
land In Oregon, which can be easily ac
quired, providing those who take up the
land mean business. While away Mr.
Cheek and Mr. Gavers managed to get a
atrip of timber land which wlll Bell for
enough to help put when they have to pay
coal bills In their old age.
Cavalry Troop Dance.
The South Omaha cavalry troop, com
manded by Captain Bruce McCulloch, wilt
hold it regular monthly dance at the ar
mory on Monday night. There seems to
have been some misunderstanding 'about
this dance. Some of the members inferred
that on account of the charity ball dance
the troop dance would be postponed. A
Xpte of the troopers was taken, and the
troop will hold it .dance entirely Inde
pendent of the charity ball affair.
