officers were elected for the ensuing year:
President-Mrs. Benz Kingsbury.
Vice President-Mrs 81. FL. Humphries
Secretary-Mrs. G w. Beal,
Treasurer-Mrs. Moses Dodge.
The following is the annual report:
Since our last yearly report there has been
held thirty-nine stated meetings of the Society,
with an average attendance of fourteen. the
largest number present at any one meeting
being thirty-seven. AT these meetings new
garments are cut and made and secondhand
clothing repaired for the deserving poor. who
from want of time or i'll health are unable IN
do for Themselves and we feel that these gath
eriDgs are not only an occasion of social eniov
ment to the members of the Society," but that
they are the means Of relieving the sufferings
of many of the worthy poor of our city
During the year several new names have
been enrolled upon our subscription list. and
two members have been removed to their
spiritual homes-Mrs. Joshua Shaw and Mrs
j. S. Winsow.
To applications received we have distributed
5173 yards cotton tcloth, 447 yards print. 107
yards wool flannel, GA yards cotton flannel 81
yards silesa, a yards dress goods, 80 yards
pairs boots, shoes and rubbers, 20 new hats, %
pairs hose, quilts, comforters, blankets,
skeins yarn 60 ready-made new garments
1895 secondhand garments, and $3.50 in
money.
The past year the management of the Society
has been subjected to unusual difficulties in
raising money to carry on its charitable work
in consequence of the long continued depres-
sion in business, yet with the aid received and
carefully disbursed we feel that the usefulness
of the Society has been sustained. You will
also see by the treasurers report that our re-
sources are but trihiug, only the interest on the
Kimball fund and 1.-THE annual subscription of
members, and to continue our usefulness we
must rely almost entirely on the generosity of
friends.
To all who have conferred favors we tender
our most grateful thanks. May their kindness
to US be remembered and returned to them
many fold.

The SPAULDING BELL RNGERs.-City Hall
was we'll filed last evening by an audience
gathered to welcome the Spaulding Bell Ring
ers on their return to this city. The company
has been reorganized since here last, and the
changes made have been marked improvements.
They now give as good an entertainment as any
travelling show of the kind in the country,
George Dean Spaulding is, as formerly, the
chief attraction of the entertainment. This
lady has for years been known as an accom-
plished musician, but each time she appears she
seems better than on her previous visit. Last
evening she appeared in the Introductory with
the bells. next with harp, upon which she
played very prettily. In response to an encore
to "The Old Oaken Bucket" on the harp, she
gave yankee Doodle" and at the same time
sang TRAMP, tramp, the boys are marching"
Her cornet solo was excellent and was encored,
while her novel musical meIange brought down
the house. She produced music upon common
the xylaphone, which is new instrument
here.
Miss Ryerson is very pleasing vocalist, and
her selections last evening were warmly ap-
plauded. Miss Glare, the violin soloist, plays
with much expression and precision, and her
rendition of Sounds from home" was prompt
ly encored. Mr.. Hodgdop, the comic imperson-
ator, was well received at each appearance, but
he is hardly up to some who have preceded him

aid, writing from Sidney, says:
The town is full of gamblers, etc., and
is in every sense of the word, fast. In
this connection l wish to call the atten-
ton of those coming this way, and the
officials of the U. 2. r. r. to a swim
die known as a DOLLAR Store which
is in operation just across the track
from the eating house at this place.
Passengers from the trains, emigrants
going to the Hills, and in fact every
one who can be decoyed into this den
on any p~reteXt, is relieved of his green
backs in less time than it formerly took
Canada Bill" and his three card
monte" gang to swindle a greenhorn.
They work the envelope game after the
style of a gift enterprise, and many men
are robbed at it daily; many who came
with money enough to purchase a COM
Portable outfit for the Hills fall into the
hands of these sharks and part with ev-
cry dollar, and are compelled to return
to the east sadder and wiser The
citizens are indignant, but "a do moth
ing. The sheriff here seems Indifferent
as does the railroad company; one
would think that they would instruct
n of their paid attornies to prosecute
such scamps."
