DES MOINES. May IS Carl M. Spencer,
former trusted employe of the Des
Moines National bank, was Indicted by the
federal grand Jury today on a charge of
embezilement and for alleged fraudulant
entries In the banks books. The amount
of Spencer's alleged shortage and for
whlchwhlch he Is being prosecuted will not
exceed J5.000.
There Is a pathetic story In connection
with Spencer's confession, which he made
prior to the indictment. For many years
annually he has been taking an invalid
son east for medical treatment. He claims
to have been unable to meet the expenses
Incurred by the medical attention and to
save the boy's life he took money from his
employers. Another clerk suspected of the
theft, for wh,lch he was subsequently dis
missed from the bank, Is completely ex
onerated by Spencer's confession.

Forty-two cases were ministered to
among the sick por of the city by the
Visiting Nurses' association during the
ast month and 374 visits were made. In
six cas.s special nursts have lieen re
quired; four patients have leen sent to
hospitals, one to friends out of the city
and there have been two deaths. At the
monthly meeting held Thursday afternoon
aome very acceptable additional funds were
reported as the result df several soclnl af
fairs. In view of the trying character of
the work and the necessarily small salary
paid by the association. It was decided that
the head nurse be given one month's leave
of absence on full pay, once a year.
The gymnasium classes of the Toung
Women's Christian association closed their
Season Mondnv evening with a Juvenile
party that proved one of the merriest oc

All came dressed as children under 12 years
of age. The occasion was also a farewell
to Miss Mary Meeker, physical director
of the association, who has resigned and
left this week for Butte, Mont.

Ever progressive and usually unique, the
Illinois Federation has launched an Inno

In tlie shape of a wearying committee. The
object of this committee Is to bring about
an Improvement In conditions In the vari

As described by a IochI paper. It will be
a "reserve force of experts in the gentle
art of wearying, whose services will be
called into requisition only when local club
workers find that they can do nothing.
Then the committee will descend uiKn that
Institution by dny and by night. In sea

and bad weather. It will haunt that in

sheer exhaustion and promise to be good."
Wearying committees could, no doubt, ren

A pathetic story comes from the vicinity
of Thirty-third and Cass streets, where
workmen are excavating preparatory to the
extension of the street south to Dodge.
In a little hut Just at the foot of Thirty
third, where Cass street would be If It
were cut through, Mrs. Margurlte Dillon
has made her home for eighteen years, but
now she will have to move, for the work
men already have gotten far enough along
that when a load of earth Is taken down
the embankment the teamsters have to
drive carefully for fear of their wagons
running Into the side of the little house.
The loneliness of Mrs. Dillon Is pathetic
In the extreme. Her husband died about
seventeen years ago In this same cottage
and but three years ago Mrs. Dillon buried
her only son, a man of 39 years, and who,
as she says, "was an awful good boy; he
took such good care of me." "He always
went to church," continued the lonely old
mother, "and all the priests liked Roger.
He was such a good boy."
The city authorities have not decided Just
what will be done with Mrs. Dillon and her
little homo, but it Is protiable It will be
moved up on the hill to the west of the
place where It now stands.
However, the lone and lonely occupant
of the place is waiting for some one to
come and tell her what to do and la living
In the hope that she will be able to keep
htr little house, even If It is In a different
location to what It has been for all those
eighteen years; for, she says, "It will seem
more like home to be living In the same
house and under the same roof, even If I
can't live In the same place where my boy
lived with me."
It was thirty years ago that Mrs. Dillon
and her husband came to Omaha. They
came, as she says, from St. Joseph, Mo.,
and ever since she has lived in Omaha,
raising chickens for her livelihood, which
pays her well.
Mr. Morr's, superintendent of the Asso
ciated Charities, has taken up the woman's
case aud will likely get her difficulty
straightened out In a few days.

Our claim that a "Hercules"

an advertising dodge; it is a fact.
If a manufacturer can waterproof

Scrambling
The organization decided to turn out Me
morial day to decorate the graves in Pros
pect Hill cemetery and hold appropriate
services. Arrangements will be perfected
at a special meeting to be held at the Press
club rooms on Tuesday, May 23, at which all
ex-members are urgently requested to bo
present, that they may be assigned a phici
tn the exercises.
The following good advice Is given to
club women through the columns of the
Keystone, official organ pf several of the
southern federations and edited by Miss
Louisa B. Poppenhelm, corresponding sec
retary of the General Federation:
Aside from the social pleasures and the
reciprocity of club Ideals and achievements
which would be the results of federation
meetings, will "then come the Question of
selecting suitable leaders for the coming
year in all departments of work. Most
of the federation constitutions provide for
a limit of term or omcc, a wise ana prac
tical arrangement, for if a woman is a
Kood worker she has done her share In
the prescribed limit time and will be all
the more useful to the organization for a
term of retirement from whence she can
gain another point of view for the work
As a rule It is the part ot wisdom toanow
an officer to nil out ner tun term or engi
bllitv. and for this reason the responslbil
lty of selecting officers Is a great one. There
Is always the danger of the chronic office
seeker ever present and engaging, ready
to serve in any capacity. This type is
characterised by an unlimited capacity for
holding omce and a very inniien capacuy
for fl ling anv office to Its fullest require
ments. These women are apt to hold an
office whose duties they neglect or leave to
rest heavily upon another while they am
bitiously seek other offices to add to their
lona- list of achievements In this direction.
These are the personalities who bring
discredit upon women s organisations
Vanltv is their besetting bin and office hold
ina natters their vanity. These are the
candidates whom the conscientious member
should carefully avoid. . When a woman is
proposed for an office Hot wise delegate
niakeB careful Inquiry imo the manner In
which she has fullilleii the duties
rrevlous offices. "Faithful In a few things
faithful In many.' is ant to tie a safe con
elusion. Women of wisdom. Judgment.
generosity, kindliness and self-control are
essential and of inestimable value In clu
leadership, therefore take these qualities
into account in picking leaders. Brilliancy
beauty, grace and eloquence are charming
adjuncts to a ciuo omcer s personal qumi-
ncationa, but leaaersiup is oniy succchniu
when it restf In the liquids of those wh(
their resnonsililllt v to the humblest
member In the ranks; whose strength of
character is softened by a delicate sense
of honor and whose minds are of sucn
calibre as to be able to grasp an Idea or
principle irrespective of personalities
Therefore tn the difficult business ot cn
lng leaders let the "rank and me re anv
to their responsibility and reckon well wit
themselves before they assume the tas
of committing the affairs of their asso
ciation to any hands thoughtlessly. The
fate of many an organisation has trembled
In the balance and even gone under because
of an Inefficient or neglectful officer and the
proud achievements of many societies have
been the result of the wisdom, tact and
good Judgment of officers who knew when
to seize the auspicious moment. True
leadership comes through power for sac
rifice and self repression and the Ideal and
spirit of the leadei unconsciously Impresses
Itself upon the entire assembly and hapty
Indeed are those associations who have
been wise enough to put Into their places
of trust officers who are sweet with un
selfishness and serene with a steady pur
pose: these truly are the guides who will
express their noble womanliness by earn
est, loyal service.
With the addition of the word, "deep-
seated," John N. Baldwin, captain of the
t'nion Pacific's political ship, reaffirms.
with characteristic force and fluency, his
e la ration before the International Hall
way congress at Washington, as recorded
n the press dispatches, that "there Is no
emand in. Nebraska for revision of rail
road rates." The press men who sent the
rej-ort of this speech throughout the world
evidently didn't catch that llltle word.
'deep-sealeil," but that was carefully notet
n the utterance of Mr. Baldwin Thursday
when he repeated Ms dec'aratlon.
Mr. Baldwin has Just returned from his
eastern trip and says he had a fine time.
Because of the size of the assemblage
of rallrond men It was found necessary
to have two banquets." said Mr. Baldwin,
'and I whs Invited to be one of the speak

Chose Fntnlllar Subject.
"Not being familiar with the technical
questions which were under discussion tn
lie convention I naturally chose to discuss
some economical questions with which I
was more familiar. My speech In the
main was devoted to the constructive force
of railroads in the west, especially that
country west of the Missouri river, and
I tried to show the part that the railroads
had played In reclaiming what was form
erly the great American desert, and I tried
to show what an Instrument they had
been In moving the course of civilization
to the west during the last thirty years.
This naturally led up to the rate making
question, which seemed to Interest all
present, and I talked mere on that subject
than I had planned when I arose to speak.
'I did say and I still maintain 'that
there Is no deep-seated demand for a reduc
tion of the freight rates, nor Is there a
demand for any modification of railroad
rate In the country from which 1 come.' "
In sneaking of the composition of tha
committee from the legislature that was
called upon to frame the commodity rate
bill In ten days. It was not my Intention
to sneer at the committee, but simply to
show that the committee appointed to deal
with the intricate problem of rate making
was In no way qualified for such an un
dertaking. I did not Intend to reflect on
Its aiilllty In other lines, but I meant that
these men were surely not qualified to
prepare this bill In ten days.
Rate Making a Science.
'Rate making Is a science demanding
the profoundest research and study and
years of experience is require?! to study
the local conditions sufficiently to make
rates that will be Just to the shipper and
to the railroads. Mr. Hord of Central
City, one of the heaviest shippers of cattle
In the state, voiced the general sentiment
of all of the big shippers when he testified
before the senate committee last week that
the shippers of Nebraska would rather deal
with the railroads direct than with some
committee at Washington, because when
a man has something to ship he wants
to ship It and does not want to be fooling
around with a lot of red tape at Washing
ton. "This bill simply shows that a legislature
is too unwieldy a body to make a schedule
of rate for the railroads.
"The rnllrods contend that the present
power of the Interstate Commerce commis
sion Is sufficient for all purposes and that
It Is not necessary to Increase the power of
the commission In reference to rebates.
This legislature commltttee reported back
to the house In two days a bill that made a
horizontal cut In twenty-seven commodities
affecting 75 per cent of the freight handled
by the railroads of the state.
