During the twelve months covered by the reports much good work haa been accomplished, and those most Intimately connected with tbe mis sloa feel that their efforts have been amply repaid in the good done amcng the peopUs whom It la hoped to reach. In thla year the building occupied by tha mission on Tenth street, between Dodge and Capitol avenue, with the land it atanda on, haa beta purchased and the officers and trustees have had the double burden of raising the necessary expenses tor each day and ot laying aside the fund for the building. In the future the work will be easier for all hands and It may be possible to branch out In new lines ot work later In the year. For tha twelve months ending April 13. $3,432.59 waa received by contribution, $824,10 coming from the young people's societies of the various churches and $2,076 being donated by Individuals. Of the total receipts $2,702.10 waa set aside for the building and Improvement fund, and ot this $2,520.18 waa expended. The year's run ning cost wts $917.45 tor all departmenta and there la now on hand $214.96; $181.92 of thla being In the building fund. Of tho money pledged $95 la atill unpaid.

Those present represented the retail gro cers and a number of other lines. Eighteen merchants signed the roll after a temporary organization had been perfected. One of the members ot the new order. mention of which waa made In The Bee early In the week, said last night to a re porter that the idea waa to put a stop to the aelllng of commodttlea ot all kinds to those who are known to be alow in paying bills. A committee on membership was appointed and another meeting will be held on tha evening of April 23. The following resolution was adopted: Whereas, a bill for an act relating to ex emption had parsed both the senate and house of representatives of the state of iNeorasKa, and wnereaa eald bill provided for a reasonable protection for the retail merchant from the deadbeat, the cheat and the fraud, and was a measure favor able to the honest man, and would If en acted Into law have greatly eliminated that undesirable class of citizens commonly known as deadbeats and promote honeety and uprighteousness among society; and. V hereas, Oovernor Mickey has seen fit to aid and abet dishonesty by vetoing S. F. K7. when the merchants had everv rea son to believe that be would do otherwise. Resolved, mat we, the South Omaha Re tail Dealers' In regular meeting assem bled, condemn said action of the governcr, and call upon all buslnene men to do like wise, and ask their assistance to retire Mr. Mickey as aoon as possible. Resolved, That a copy of thee resolu tions be sent to the governor and given to the public press. Improvements at the Yarda. Cars of brick are dally being unloaded in South Omaha for uae at Swlft'a and the Union stock yards.

This work at Swlft'a Is now going on and tbe laying of the pavement will be pushed as rapidly aa the material arrives. At the stock yards General Manager Ken yon haa ordered 2,000,000 paving brtct, and these are on the way. The brljg will be used In paving alleys, hog and cattle pena, and also in the pena to be built this sum mer. The work of laying this pavement at the yarda will be under the direction of W. S. King, chief engineer of the com pany. On account of the hod carriers and plas terers' strike the directors of the Union Stock Yarda company decided at a recent meeting to stop all work on the proposed wing to the Exchange building. Some work on thla structure haa already been done, but the directors thought it best to shut down on account of the fact that material ia acarce and that it might take some time to aettle the present labor troublea. Work on the Temple building la still suspended and plasterers all over the city, even on small Jobs, have quit. Building and repairs are at a standstill and those who claim to be acquainted with the situa tion assert that a aettlement of the present difficulties will hardly be reached before May X.

The spring months bring peculiar phya Ical llabilltlea to those who are well. They also bring peculiar modifications In cases of chronic diseases. There is a phase of catarrh known aa spring catarrh. They give a typical case. Mrs. D. Nelson. 309 E. Third St., Jack sonville, Fla., wrltea: "I want to thank you for the great ben eflt I derived from the use of Peruna.

A peraon may have been afflicted with catarrh a long time, but every spring the catarrh assumes a slightly different phase. The catarrhal die- ' charges become thinner. the thickening of the membranes partly dis appear. It the catarrh is accompanied with I cough, the cough be comes looser, tha expectoration leas sticky; In brief, every symptom shows a slight tendency toward Improvement. This is di rectly due to tha season. Every spring nature rejuvenates.
