A Lonely Woman With Six Small Children Turned Upon the Cold
 Charity of the World.

Imagine poor, thinly clad woman, with an months babe in her arms that looks as ii it's little life would each moment leave it and five small children with hungry faces and hardly enough clothes on to cover themselves, and they out in the world, without friends, relatives or money. Would it not touch heart of stone?
 Such was the case at the union depot 6 week ago yesterday.
 Early Tuesday morning, almost before the world had awakened to another day, a woman apparently about 30 years old came into the union depot, her every step seern- ing to give her pain. She went up to Capt. Gus Wright, the big-heartsd and kind gaiekeeper, and asked him for assistance, which, without hesitation, he gave her and placed them in the warm waiting room while he had prepared for them hot breakfast. She said she nor the children had tasted food since the morning before and that she was completely worn out. She was questioned as to who she was and from wht TO she had come and told the fol- lowing pathetic story:
 "My name is Mrs. John Fiffer, and have lived at Gurney for a long time with my husband, John Fiffsr, but he died just eig ghteen days ago ard left me with noth- ing in the world to rort these poor lit- tie children on. It all came about this way: My husband was Q miner and had worked in the mines at Gurney up to the time of the strike, and then he went out with the other men. After the strike was over he went up to No at Brookside and

The performances was the greatest success of the season of 1893 4, and those who witnessed it were loud in praise of it. h fact it was a performance completely void of unfavor- able criticism, and the only regret was the fact of its being e-nigbt performance.

RATHER INTERPRETING

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Dec. 1S.-Startling developments were made yesterday in the Huntington shooting affray, which re- suited in Huntington's victims employing an attorney to look out for their interests during the inquest. The new feature was the suggestion, eiven color by friends ofthe dead bank clerk, that he did not commit suicide, but was shot by some one in the room at the time Huntington began to shoot. This theory was advanced when it was learned that the bullet in Huntington's brain vas much smaller than the oues fred into the two bond company examiners, and that the wound in his head was not powder burned, as it was thought would be the case if revolver had been in his own hand. There was no other evidence to bear out the theory.

TO HIRE CONVICrS,

The county mmissioners' court adver- tises for bids for the hire of the county con- victs for the coming year. There are at pres- ent about 230 county convicts. The Sioss company has hired them for several years past, paying the county SS per month for each able bodied man. The company works them in it's mines at Coaburg. On account of the small expense in guarding them the company finds it profitable, aud the county receives a good revenue from their hire. The bid is opsn to all, but the mine operators have heretofore outbid all others. On account of the expense in guarding them 1t costs much more to work convicts on q farm than in the mines.
