plication he signed an agreement not to

failed to secure this permit before going
and after he was killed and the claim
presented payment WAS refused on the

EVENING SESSION.
Interesting Papers By Judge Powers
AMI Mrs. Cain.


The large audience that attended last
evenings session of the federation
listened to two of the most interest
ing papers presented to the federation.
Judge o. w. Powers was in his hap
piest vein, and right at home with his
subject, The Woman's Club From a
Mans Standpoint while Mrs. John
Cain treated 1.-THE Mans Club From a
Woman's Standpoint" with equal vigor
and the same delight to her hearers.
In opening the session, President Mrs.
Jennings expressed her regret at hav
ing to announce the absence of Gov
ernor Wells from the state. The gov
ernor was to have delivered an address,
but was unexpectedly called to Idaho
on business.
The first number on the programme
was the rendition of Hammerels Moe
turne' on the pipe organ by A. H. Pea
body, Which was enthusiastically re-
reived.
Judge Powers was then introduced as
the bravest man in Utah, in coming
here tonight and proceeded to attack
his subject. He said, in part:
Il am of the opinion that men have
not looked upon women's clubs serious
ly. They have failed to understand
that your clubs are here, and that they
are here to stay, and that they serve
an important purpose in the economy
Of the world. The club to a woman
is a stern and severe reality. 1t is an
existence which is to be approached
with awe and with proper feeling of
the littlenesS of the individual. Some

! The formality of charging Captain
| Frederick j. Mills with the crime foi
| which he is to be tried in the district
Icourt next month. received the atten-
ton yesterday of Deputy County At
| torney Van Colt, who prepared and
/ filed an information against the ac-
cused. The information specifies that
ON Oct. 8, 1899. in Salt Lake City, Mills,
with felonious and wiIlful intent and
premeditatedly, did shoot with a re-
volver and kill John G.. O'Melveney,
/ thus constituting the crime of murder
in the first degree.
Upon the back of the information are
endorsed the names of the following
witnesses for the prosecution: C. S.
Wilkes, A. ]. Van Kuran, w. f. Crit
ger. T. w. Brenne1ilan, F. C. McCune,
G. H. Jenkinson, S. w. EccIes, F. G.
Lincoln, T. II, Hilton, S. ID. Evans, H.
A. Anderson and John F. HoweIls.
twill be noticed that the county at
torney has omitted the names of Rev.
ID. Douglas Wallace, DR.. Pinkerton and
Mrs. O'Melveney, but it does not fol-
low that the state will be barred from
calling them or any others to testify
at the trial if the prosecution deems
their evidence material 1t is not i'm
probable, however. that the three
named may be made witnesses for the
defense.
Judge Norrell will probably COM
smence the fall session of the criminal
court Immediately after election day
sOne of the first acts will be the taking
of Captain Mills plea, if the prisoner
has not in the meantime pleaded to the
information. Then the Mills case will
be set for trial, most likely following
the trial of John H. BenbroolS. charged
with numbering Burton c. Morris las.

There is but one great dis
covery for the prevention and
cure of all kidney difficulties
that grand remedy, WARMERS
SAFE CURE. For five and twenty
years it has stood the test.

1t is an old, old argument of soothing
men that club work, or the taking OF
any interest by women in affairs out
side of the domestic limits, tends to
lessen their womanlineSs. This is not
true, as rule, but even if it were, there
would be a sufficient offset For in
mems clubs it is said that, owing to
the luxurious ease and the high living,
coupled with very plain thinking there
prevailing, certain percentage, par
ticularly of the younger membership, is
reaching a high state of effeminacy. Sc
1t may depended upon that the race
would be in no danger whatever of los
ing any of it's femininity.
This fiction of loss of womaniiIiess
is associated with the old outcry of the
warriors against women's clubs, neg
lect of home OF course, it would not
be fair to accuse those who belong To
mems clubs of neglect of home for it
is conceded that members in good
standing have no home obligations that
they are bound to respect if likely to
interfere with their club work. This
does not mean that they are wholly in
attentive to their homes. They visit
them from time to time. They may. ar
rive late, but they show thoughtful So
hcltude in endeavoring to get in with
out disturbing other members of the
family. They may not have time to
give attention to many household de-
tails. but to such as they do notice they
usually give attention with all their
might A club member of this class is
likely to discover that a newspaper

laid carefully away upon the floor, has

Mrs. Cain held that one difference be-
tween the Indian and the club mar is
that the Indian. when not ON the war
path, remains at home, and with easy
satire she paraded before her hearers
that reports of gambling at the club
We're grossly exaggerated, as all, she
had learned, have stringent rule:
NO game for wager of money will
be allowed in the club"
The noble motto of their opposition
to gambling has BEEN. tHew to the
line, let the Chips" fall where they
may, continued Mrs. Cain.
As a proof that there was no dissipa-
ton in the club, the speaker quoted
another rule: No wines, liquors or
