There was a lull in the work of relieving
the distressed poor of the town on Saturday

charge Of the relief station, which viii be
open again from to 8 o'clock this evening
and after that much will depend upon there.
suit Of the meeting Of the general committee
to be held in the Council chamber tonight
It is quite probable that new system will be
agreed upon. The volunteers who have been
doing sci vice at the relief station find it im.
possible to give every afternoon and evening
] to it indefinitely, so that it may be decided
tonight to open the station on two, or three
evenings in each week, with the understand
ing that when the donations of supplies be-
come plentiful and the appeals for aid in
crease the station will be opened as frequently
as the distributing committee can make con
venient.
The Juvenile Club did excellent work for
the benefit of the fund by its entertainment
in the High school building Saturday even
ing. The entertainment was well attended
and a neat purse will be turned over to the
general committee. 1t has become evident
that children are great help in charitable
movements. The Juvenile Clubs entertain
ment win be remembered with pleasure by
those who attended it, as well as those who
will reap benefits from the receipts. The pro-
gram was "a sparkling one and the

strel performance to be given at Ferguson's S

The cimmttee appointed to solicit aid in
the First ward has met with excellent sue
cess. The people in that part Of the town
have been very generous in cash and other
donations and James Shields this afternoon
had his team out hauling the meat and pro-
visions the committee received to the relief
station. The work Of this committee has
given renewed encouragement to the general
committee and the prospects for the next
few days are better than they have been
since the public school teachers and children
rendered their noble service.
Chairman Hassler of the general COM
mittee, has appointed Rev /. J. Reitz as
member of the investigating committee on
relief, to take the place of Rev G. W. Van
Fossen, who has been obliged to leave town
on a business mission for several days. Rev
