VOLUNTEERS OFFER HELP Who started calling women "the weaker n!" The records of the organizations that have to do with the poor of Omaha are full of examples of "the weaker sex" supporting tremendous burdens under which "the sterner ex" would fAint and fall. And these burdens they hear uncomplain ingly and with a fortitude and hope that Is incomprehensible to the Mem lords of creation, (fin one of the "sterner eex" myself, reader, thouph ou probably thought from the above lines that I was a suffragette.) Here's Just an example. A little, frail woman came to the Volunteers of Amer ica Tuesday. 8he needed gome clothing for children ranging from IS months to 13 year. This little woman of Indomitable spirit whs married to a lord of creation who averted Ms lordship by swigging up all the rum he eould pet and then going home to the Wretched shuck In the bot toms and beating his wife and children and breaking the few sticks of furniture Fifty times the little woman forgave him. Finally, for her children's sake, she pot a divorce. She Is now free of him and going bravely to work to sup port her 'seven little ones. Pension Doesn't Reach. Sho gets a pension of $2n a month, but with coal to buy and rent to pay and eight mouths to feed the $30 doesn't reach. She takes in washing ami Is busy every minute and she won't accept any more than she actually lias to. Mrs. McCormlek of the Volunteers lias fitted out the family with much warm second-hand clothing. M still wants a smalt coal stove, a mattress or two and some furniture. Anyone bavins; such articles to give should notify the Volun teers and their wagon will call. Or, if people prefer, Mrs Mci'ormick will give the. name and address of the mother and M'ven. There is no address, but she can tell Just how to thread your way down through the dumps ami marshes of the hnllnrrti In Ihn j-hnelr ulinrn tlila nifmlkii. of "the weaker sex" is bearing tho bur- and master. Decision of Judge Sears Will Turn On Him at Election Chickens" have come home to roost on ti e district bench, bringing with them the. certainty that, regardless how successful the seven judces may be in the approach ing primary, they will have new competi tion at next full's election. As a result of a decision by Judge ears 1 rior to the last election that T. E. Hrady whs entitled to have ills name placed on the Judiciary ballot as a candldato against fount y Judce Crawford, because several voters bad written his name on their "allots, it will bo possible for candidates fur t: c district ben- h to gain places by the same procedure. The decision ill the JJiaily C8S.C was. not appealed and islands as a precedent. As a result politicians anticipate that the ballots of next November may con tain the name!) of several candidates for the bench who have not tound it neces sary to go through the formality of se curing signatures to petitions nor to make primary campaigns. Aged Pair on the Evening of Life Now Husband and wife more than TO years of age, without "chick or child" here abouts, in need of fuel and food, are the brief details of a situation brought to tho attention of Secretary Doano of the Associated Charities.

C. the home of the well known president and the p!e where the mora or less honored contresa sits. Three facts stand out pre-eminently prominent to our Sherlockholmea-like In telligence. First. Mr. Woodrough Is a candidate for tho vacant place on tho federal bench In the Omaha division. Second, the appointment is about to be made. Third, It will be made by the folks In Washington.

According to the railroad men, twj weeks ago signs of relief wera In Bight. Tho embargo was lifted from half a dozen Atlantln and practically all of the gulf ports by reason of arrival of a large number of vessels ready to load out for Kurope. This cleaned out the elevatoia and it was believed there would ho enough vessels to handle the export grain! trade Into Kuror. The grain commenced to move freely, but it was not long until' tho receipts at all ports exceeded the facilities for shipping abroad. The ele vators soon filled to capacity and now it Is asserted that, under the most favor able condition. It would reunite thirty da to put afloat the Wheat and corn stored and held In ears along the Atlantic and Gulf coast. Klevatora I'lllrd. Not only are" elevators all along tho coast filled with grain for l)uroe, say the traffic men, but heck tn the country. at stations fifty or more nulos from the sibuard. tho switches and yards are con gested with cars loaded with grain. Tha result Is that most of the roads havo largo numbers of freight cars In the eail and south, loaded with grain and there is no determining when they will come back. Advices coming to the railroads Is to the rrfect that at this time Newport News is the only Atlantic port receiving grain for export and that the rapacity there tins leromo limited. At Galveston, while the embargo has been laid against the port, there is one e'evator that atlll lias considerable space, with the pos sibility of getting a shipment out In tho near future.
