THE SHARPSHOOTERS.
Arizona to Furnish tie Right
 Kind Needed.

The Spanish shsrpshooters have been doing most effective work in picking off our officers in front of Santiago. We do not hear of any American sharpshooters put up to match the enemy. This has led Capt Kirk l.. Halt, of our city. to organize 6 company of sharpshooters for i'm medate service. Arizona can furnish men who will do finer work than any of the Spanish breed. In zen days, it is believed, one hundred men will be ready to offe., them selves to the war department for the special service oi silencing batteries and decimatinR the rank of the Spanish army. Those who are crack shots with tEe rifle, and want to match the spanish sharpshOoters in Cuba or elsewhere, will do well to communicate with Captain Kirk l.. Hart, at this place, at once. None but those who have strong nerves, are unerring .hots, and want to fight need apply, for this company means business. They are going to the front to do execution Tucson Star.

The most important discussion was
upon the ordinance prepared by Mre.

posting of immoral, indecent or de-

matter in public places in the city. The
draft proved satisfactory and the ordin-
ance will soon be submitted to the

The committee on preventing public

been made and it was continued.
The press of the city was thanked for
valuable assistance, and the council
was commended.
Several ether committees, such as

found Miss Mitchell one of the most in.

her scientific development. Her path
was followed through her girlhood on
the little Island of Nantucket till her
love for humanity led her into the
worlds work shop. Her long service
for Vassar College was filled with rich

mer's stay was short, and on his removal
the club changed its form. but the origi-
nal members so long as they remained
here retained their interests in literary
pursuits. Social life was Kaleidoscope
in these days, but the spirit Of club life
WAS always a potent factor and welded
a quiet but effective influence in all
things pertaining to the welfare of the
community.
The existence Of two other literary
clubs between the years 1S74-lS1S has
been discovered. One OF these was re-
markable for the lack Of vanity display
ed by its members who chose for a name
the "Homely Folks Club
SOroeis met at the home OF Mrs.
Maule January 4th. Mrs. Taylor was
the leader for the afternoon, and gave
an able address upon Industrial Evolu-
ton and its social bearing" 1t was
large subject but one in which Mrs. Tsy-
lor was perfectly at home. 1t being
along the line OF thought and work which
Mrs. Taylor has pursued for years. She
spoke first OF the period when each
family was an independent Unit and
provide for its own wants, then traced
the evolution Of industry up through
tn village, town and nation, until in lis
widening effects it became international
and even the nations became in
dustrialIy inter dependent. She then
discoursed upon the commercial, social
and psychic effects Of industrial evolu-
ton. The club adjourned to meet
January 18th with Mrs. Lambertson.
The Rose Cottage Circle is not club.
1t is not an organization and observes
no parliamentary forms.
1t is a company Of ladies invited by
its hostess, Miss Elliott, to study with
her any subject she is especially inter
ested in for mutual help. This has been
her habit for twenty three years. first in
Mt. Pleasant, Ia, and later during her
residence Of thirteen years in Lincoln.
During these thirteen years about
eighty Lincoln ladies have from time to
time participated. Any woman or girl
who wants to come is welcome. Invita-
tions are given personally. also publicly
through the papers. No pledges are
asked yet each LADY takes some part as
the spirit moves her.
Unlike the cubs this circle has no
time in the year to begin or stop. Like
an intermittent spriug when there is any
water to run, and no distractions. it
runs. Its times OF continuance has
varied from two months to eleven
months with weekly morning meetings.
Weekly to insure the interest that comes
from frequency while the morning hour.
10 to II, presumes the freshness OF all
faculties-physical, mental, spiritual.
The two hours session is considered
necessary, first, for the minds to become
responsive, then for concentration and
opportunity to produce free interplay
OF thought. There is usually short
prelude which is spontaneous. Events,
opinions or aspirations are expressed
and faculties put on the ebert. BY IL
o'clock fever heat is usually attained
when the noon whistle breaks up the
meeting as effectually as it stops bust
ness or machinery in the city.
By this promp. ne:s, interest is carried
into the next week and husbands are
