Aid For Nebraska Sufferers.

At a. conference held in Lincoln We'd nesday February 27, to consult with reference to relief measures from the drought stricken district there were clerical representatives for the Episco- pal, Congregational, Methodist, Christ ian, Presbyterian and Lutheran churches. A majority of those present are engaged in traveling over the state and are familiar with the prevailing conditions in the forty-nine counties now receiving aid. And the undersign- ed were appointed committee to pub fish a statement of the facts. It ap- peared from the reports of county off, cials and other sources of information that there are at least 100000 people to be supported until another crop is raised. For the support of these the state relief commission has left for do- nations and the state appropriation 5000. This makes no provision for feed for working teams and other live stock, or for seed grain That this people may become self-sustaining, at lease $1,5O0,OO0 worth of feed and seed will be needed.

BLISTERED HER FEET.
A Man Who Used Fly PInsters to Keep
His Wife Home.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
II put blisters on her feet, judge, to keep
her in the house, but even then she went
out" said John Woods of Eagle street in
court, while appearing against his wife,
Catherine, whom he charged with being
an habitual drunkard.
After the examination Mr.. Woods de-
scribed how he blistered his wifes feet to
a reporter. Il told my wife, he said, that
she would have to stay in the house, If she
would not stop drinking. 1 was willing to
care for her in tile house, but I didn't want
her to be found intoxicated on the streets
and cause me a good deal more trouble
than if she stayed at home. She insisted
upon going out. / tried to have her stay
in by doing everything l could think of.
Finally the idea of blistering her feet
came into my head. I heard of it twenty
years ago as being used to keep people in
bed when the doctor or their folks didn't
want them to walk around. / bought a
couple of fly plasters in drug store.
When l returned from the store my wife
was lying on the bed, intoxicated. I slip
ped off her shoes and stockings and put a
plaster on each of her feet without arous-
ing her. Twenty minutes later 1 removed
the plasters. The soIes of her feet were
covered with blisters. A few hours after
ward she got up and walked around as
usual and then went out. It's impossible
to keep that woman in the house,

IRON AND STEEL.
The Trade in Veay Healthy Condition
at Present.

The iron and steel trade is not only in a
healthy condition, but has become decidedly
lively 1t is SO active that there is danger OF
the Improvement being overdone. Conserva-
tive business men do not like booms, and
they all agree that no pressure should be put
on the tr1de to force 1t beyond natural
growth. Prices are not as high now as they
were In 1892 aud 1898, and large proportion
OF the advances made so far this year have
been absorbed In higher wages, coke and
ores. The tendency Is still toward higher
range Of prices and wages. The active In
quiry for many lines Of goods is evidence that
buyers expect stlll higher prices than those
now prevailing. At present the demand is
so great that It is IA difficult matter to get
early deliveries and quotations. except for
