CLASSIC CHAUTAUQUANS.
Their Friends Favored with a Choice
Literary and Musical Program.

About one hundred ladies were for
tunate enough to be present as invited
guests at the home of Miss Nina
Hedge on North Buckeye Saturday
afternoon, the occasion being the clos
ing exercises of the Abilene Chau-
tauqua Literary and Scientific Circle,
the second year of the course having
been completed. The twelve fair
members adorned with the class flower,
pansies, ''Pansies - that's for
thoughts, received the guests and
proved themselves model hostesses.
When all had arrived the literary
program of the day was taken up.
First was delightful instrumental
duet by Misses Grace Bonebrake and
Carrie Corbett. Then followed the re-
port of the secretary, Miss Maggie
Wilson, who briefly reviewed the his
tory of the circle froIa its inception as
the Monday Evening Club under Mrs.
NJ. NJ. Bowman's guidance, until it
took up the c. L. S. c. course, with
Mrs. w. 1. COye for president, and fol-
lowing the work of the twelve men,
bers, all of whom were on the program
Of the afternoon exercises, down to the
present, A carefully written essay Old
Socrates" by Miss Minnie Parent,
came next. 1t showed wide reading
and much thought. Readings from
translations of the Greek philosopher
by Miss Camille Winfield and Miss
Woods were next on the program.
Miss Wilson took the formers place in
her absence. Miss Franc Baker read
paper on Chemistry and Zoology"
giving some of the interesting points
gained from the study of those delight
full sciences. Miss Nina Hodge gave
an instrumental solo, Lake of Wal
lenstald" by List, in her well known
attractive manner. "TheOcritus," an
other brilliant light Of ancient litera-
ture, vas the subject of an essay by
Miss Emma Wilson. The essayist's
study was appreciative and evidenced
true literary culture. Readings from
TRANSACTIONS of Theocritus' writings
were given by Misses Ella Thornton
and Nellie Malott. Miss Ida Romig
discussed 'Greek Art'' with the skill
of connoisseur, illustrating her re-
marks with reproductions of famous
paintings, etc. The program closed
with delightful instrumental solo by
Mss Franc Baker.
The young ladies may well feel
proud of the work they are do
ing and the pleasure they were
able to give their friends. There is
so much respected or that
gives more happiness to the possessor
than taste for literature, and abb
lene's c. L. S. C.'s are taking the
very course to make themselves the
leaders in literary circles of the city.

SheriffI and Marshals Unite.

DEs MONIES, Ia, June 23.-[Special to
THE BEE. The tendency to association of
persons engaged in similar pursuits has led
to the forming of great many organizations
in this state. The sheriffs of the state have
such an association and SO have the city
marshals. Last week each Of these organi
cations held Its annual meeting, the marshals
at Oskaloosa and the sheriffs at Ottumwa.
AS they happened to be in session at the
same time, they exchanged courtesies, by
wire at first, and then the marshals went
down in body to Ottumwa and proposed
union, and the proposal was accepted. Here
after they will hold JOINT meetings, ana
unite together for the common interests.
Their future meetings will be held at the
same place and time, each branch holding a
separate convention the first day, and JOINT
convention the second day. The next meet
ing will be held in Des Moines, December
IS and 70, 1889. One of the chief topics dis
cussed at the recent meeting of the mar
shals was the tenure of their office and the
term of Office of policemen. Under the pres
ent laws, the mayor appoints the marshal
and all the police. The mayor is elected,
and often has but one term of two years, as
is the case in this city. A new mayor there
fore has the power, and often the disposition
to make a clean sweep in the police force,
thus removing old and competent and tried
officials who ought to have been kept upon
the force. The marshals convention pro-
posed that bill should be submitted to the
legislature, providing that the marshal, and
not the mayor, shall appoint the policemen,
or that police commissions be established in
every city to govern appointments and dis
missals This contemplates the Introduction
of the metropolitan police system thr ough-
out the state, and it is believed that it would
add much to the efficiency of the, service in
many places. The convention also discussed
at some length the subject of the tramp nui-
sance. A committee was instructed to bring
this subject before the legislature, and ask
for u law which will compel boards of supe r
for tramps to work. 1t was believed that If
the genus tramp could be obliged to do some
honest work in every place at which he ap-
peared, the genus would soon disappear.

Want a Food Commission.

DEs MONIES, Ia, June 90. II Special to
The BEE. AT each general assembly the
farmers Of Iowa have for several years had
some special subject in which they were in
terested, and for which they asked legisla-
tion. The coming winter will probably see
no exception to this practice. One of the
leading farmers of the state was recently
asked as to what the farmers wanted from
the next legislature. He replied: "What
we now need is food commission, some
thing after the order of that lately provided
by the Wisconsin legislature. Our dairy
products are clean now. The trade IN bogus
butter has been stamped out. But several
other kinds of food need purifying. If we
farmers are obliged to put a stamp on our
butter to show that it is good, why shouldn't
our pepper, sugar and coffee also be stamped,
or at least be tested by competent authority
before exposed for salel Every one knows
that these articles are often adulterated and
nobody knows how much the public IS in
iured by eating the impurities that are sold
for the genuine article. We ought to have a
food commission headed by competent and
practical chemist, and l shall not be sur
prised il the legislature next winter is asked
to create one.

COLLECTING DEBTS.
How Local Merchants Are to Protect
Themselves.


Omaha merchants have rganized local
branch of the Nebraska State Business
Mems association. They claim that their
plans are so arranged that, after due notice
has been given adebtor, and settlement is
not made, under no circumstances will the
merchant give him credit without security.
The association, it is said Is extending over
he state, Plattsmouth, Nebraska City,
Blair, Grand Island, Hastings and Central
City having branches The work is under
the supervision of the Commercial Directory
company of this city, aud the merchants, it
is claimed, are adopting their reference
book to conform with this association. In
this manner, it is said, if a man moves to any
part of the state his credit follows him. If
he should leave an honest, unpaid bill behind
him, the merchants claim he will find the as
sociGtion in his new town unuer the same re-
strictions as that in the town he left. They
also say that this plan does not differ from
what they are subject to every day. They
claim they must pay their bills or stop
asking credit, and this is all they ask of the
consumer. The local association in this CITY,
it is said, comprises a number of the leading
business houses in the city and the suburban
stores.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Omaha branch is held on the last Monday in
each month at the Y. M. G.. A. hall. To-
morrow evening, therefore, the meeting will
be held. The merchants desire every mem-
Der to be present, and general invita-
tion is extended to all retailers. Business of
Importance will be brought Up.
