it was his purpose II give her some

declared resolution was apparent &c
himself, there was a hope that he might
get from her some comfort and strength

NEWS OF NEBRASKA.

To NEBRASKA WoMEN.-It is DESTROYS that
Nebraska women's work be well represented
at this New Orleans Worlds Exposition.
Through the efforts of some of our enterpris
ing ladies we have very fair exhibit-con
sidering the time given for collecting-con
sisting mainly of knitting, needle and decora-
tive work. besides a good culinary exhibit, but
we are deficient in lines of work in which am
sure many of our Nebraska women are prof.
cient, and by which they are enabled to sup
port themselves. DESTROYS of obtaining arti-
Giles which represent such occupations,
make this appeal to Nebraska women who are
interested in the following lines of work. and
ask that models or samples be sent to my adj
dress: Inventions, domestic or other, origin
ated by women; a copy of every book pub
lished or newspaper edited by women; edi-
tOrials, poems or literary articles written by
women; type-writing, stenographc work,
penmanship business cards; samples of silk
wool, fax, or cotton grown by women; sam
pies OF same spun or woven; samples OF grain
grown by women.
Let Nebraska women interest themselves in
these things, thus aiding toward making the
Nebraska woman's work a feature of the wo-
mans department as our state exhibit is of
the states display. Send by registered mail or
express to my address,

The French senate on the 18th began discus

lot in the election of representatives and dele
gates to congress. 1t provides for separate
uniform ballot upon which candidates are to

type are specified and general provision is
made that all ballots must be the same in out

Violations of any of the provisions of the bill
are declared a misdemeanor and punishable
by fine or Imprisonment

We call upon them to induce all OF

treated of, and while Catholics are instructed
to shun bad or dangerous secret societies, they
are counselled to take part in good and useful

however, that the surest guide is the church of

generous co operation of the Catholic people
in the work of foreign missions and missions

highly connected.
An attempt to suspend the rules and pass
the bankruptcy bill will be made in the early

attempt will be successful.
The case of Robert Carwick, who petitioned

Louis, and wants mandamus to compel Sec
rotary Teller to order a survey.
George Cook was hanged at Laramie, wy

ting murder. He died easily in ten minutes.

1t is the opinion of number of the men,
beers of the house committee on naval affairs

considered by the house committee on appro-
priations.

but. instead of his pocket-book, drew re-
volver and shot one of the men dead in his
tracks. The other fired, hitting Blanton in
the shoulder, and escaped. Blanton will re-
cover.
In the executive session of the senate the
nomination OF McCulloch to be secretary of
the treasury was taken up. Senator Riddle
berger moved the consideration be postponed
until after the holidays, which motion was
lost, as also was another by the same senator
to postpone until next Monday. Riddleberger
then said he was not fully prepared to state
his objections to the confirmation, but he
would, as preliminary, ask for the reading
of one of McCulloch's annual reports during
his former administration of the treasury de-
partment. Riddleberger yielded, however,
for motion to adjourn, which was carried
unanimously.
