WOMEN ARE awake
RECENT ORDER OF THE NORTH
WESTERN AROUSES OPPO-
SITION.
The Federated Woman's Clubs of
America Will Oppose the Policy
of the Northwestern Railroad of
Discharging All Female Clerks and
Stenographers.

The equal s~uffragists of Iowa are
trying to arrange a boycott against the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
company. The Polk County Equal Suf-
fragists association of Des Moines has
passed resolutions to that end. This
was in Difference to the request of Pres
ident Ellen Henrotin of the General
Federation of Woman's clubs of the
United States. The complaint of the
members Of the organization is that
the management of the company is dis
eliminating against women in the way
of employment.
The local officials of the road regard
the matter rather in the light of a joke
and hardly credit the report that wo-
men Of that organization are taking the
action attributed to them. They ad-
nit that if they should do such a thing
it might become serious. Though moth
ing officially is known of the alleged
discrimination against women by the
Northwestern, the report has gained
circulation hat all women who have
not been in the employ of the North
western for more than two years will
be relieved and men put in their places.
The same is to the effect that in
the future no women will be employed
by the company. There is no disputing
the fact that in the past a great many
ONE have been employed by the
Northwestern system and up to the
present officials have not heard of any
of them being discharged.
General Agent Kuhn of the North
western, while at headquarters recently
heard considerable chatting of female
employees on account of the rumored
order against future employment of wo-
men, but if there was anything in the
discrimination, it did not seem to be
known at Chicago.
When'assed what action, if my, the
Omaha Woman's club will take in the
matter, a number of the local members
stated that it has not been considered.
It is impossible TO say how the Omaha
women regard the proposition, but
or two of the most prominent figures in
the club suggest that they are PERSONAL
ly inclined to take the position that
Omaha is not directly concerned

In speaking about DR.. castillo's eff

In speaking about DR.. Castillo's eff
fective course, Mr.. Stokes said:
"As soon as the news reached this
city there was a rush Of Cubans to the
junta. Every n of them wanted to
get into print and accuse the Spaniards.
1t was a moment when the Cuban cause
needed every one of its friends. DR..
Castillo would not listen to his much
excited companions, but dismissed them
after promising them that all would be
managed properly. When he was
alone he sent for the reporters, and
much to their surprise, told them, that
in his opinion the destruction of the
Maine was due to spontaneous combus-
ton.
The interview was at once cabled to
Havana. General Blanco, before he
could form any other opinion, was
made aware of it. He jumped at the
bait. If DR.. Castillo, who was an enemy
to Spain. did not blame that country,
why the Americans, in his estimation,
would adopt Castollo's view and also
attribute the disaster to spontaneous
combustion. On the following morn
ing the world was informed that in.
General Blanco's opinion, the Maine
had blown herself up.
1.-The Castillo interview created much
CONSERVATION among the Cubans and
the doctor vas kept busy explaining
his action. Afterward Blanco tried to
accuse the Cubans, but it was then too
late to remedy his mistake.
Immediately after the disaster the
junta sent several agents to Havana to
gather evidence. They secured evil
dence of the mooring of the warship
at a designated buoy and the sinking
of the wires. Armed with this infor-
nation, the junta called on the presi-
dent in Washington a week before he
asked for the $50, 600 900 appropriation.
1t is said that the president requested
them not to publish their evidence. He
told them to wait. This they did and
we all know the results"
Mr.. Stokes said that in his belief, all
the members of the junta knew who
blew up the Maine. He also believed
that General Lee knows the mans
name.

Made from pure grape cream of tartar

The method adopted by n rustic looh
ing individual to prevent the loss of his
hat and coat while dining furnished the
patrons of Il Market street cafe with
much amusement yesterday. The stran-
ger meandered leisurely into the place
during the busy lunch hour and made
his way to the nearest vacant chair.
Producing several yards Of Irvine from
his pocket, he removed his hat and
passed the string once around the
crowu, making it fast with a double
knot.
This, of course, caused a number of
diners to suspend hostilities in order
better to observe the mex move, but the
careful stranger appeared oblivious to
the sensation he was creating Taking
off his coat, he passed the loose end of
the string through one sleeve, and, after
securing the end to his wrist, hung hut
and 0 a on the rack. Assuring himself
that the knots were firmly tied, the
cautious individual sat down and pro.
ceeded to get away with a substantial
meal. -PhIla delphia Record.

Gladstone found geat difficulty. He
considered that there were four com
petitors-Eschylus, Virgil, Milton ana
Goethe. We wonder how many of GU
readers would at a first guess select Mr..
Gladstone's final choice? 1t was Goethe.
Who, in recent days, have been the
greatest masters of English? This was
another question which Mr.. Gladstone
was fond of considering. He decided in
favor of two as greater than all others
Cardinal Newman and Mr.. Ruskin. II
is interesting to recall the fact that Mr..
Morley, in n lecture, answered the same
question. According to him, the great
masters of English in our generation
have been three-Carlyle, Macaula,

Geography Is not only one Of the
most interesting studies, but one of the
most important as well. 1t is not of
value to the student alone, but to every
man and woman who wishes to keep
in touch with the happenings OF the
great world about them. The news
from distant parts of the earth, which
is brought to the breakfast table every
morning, is much OF it little better
than Greek to the person who Is un-
familiar with geography. In fact the
stirring events Of the world compel
those who desire to have the correct
knowledge of them t o be daily students
of this important branch Of education.
This truth is apparent to anyone who
has tried to follow the course Of our
war with Spain. Before Admiral Dew
ey's victory how many people knew the
location of Manila and the Philippine
islands? The Cape Verde islands,
where the Spanish fleet modified, and
the Dry Tortugas where our own fleet
collected, preparatory to the search
for Cervera and the bombardment Of
Santiago de Cuba, are now familiar
names.
During the past veal we have had in
teresting news from Alaska, Armenia,
Japan, China, India, Greece and Tur-
key. In these troublous times, a
knowledge Of the geographical forma-
ton Of the countries Of the globe, their
colonies, and the location Of the chief
towns and rivers is Indispensable to
one who would read his daily paper in
diligently.
Approaching the great usefulness of
accurate and clear maps In studying
the various phases Of the war, The Re-
publican has arranged with Rand, Nc
Nally G Co., Of Chicago, for the new
Standard War Atlas. The Atlas con-
tains sixteen pages of the latest and
best war maps published, comprising
four double-page maps (21x28 inches)
Of the World, North America, Europe
and Oceania, and seven full-page maps
14x21 inches) Of Cuba, the West In
dies, South America, China, Spain and
Portugal, Asia, Africa and the Philip
pine and Hawaiian islands. ENLARGED
sections show nnrts Matanzas, Santi-
ago de Cuba, San Juan and Cienfue-
COS; also Cardenas and Santa Clara
bays. They are beautifully printed on
heavy map paper, and bound in an at
tractive paper cover.
This atlas should not be ~confounded
with the numerous cheap aliases sold
at the stores. It is entirely new, and
can be obtained only from The Re-
publican or Its regular agents.
Every reader Is recommended to
procure one at once. and thus be able
to watch the strategic movement of
our army and navy from the vantase
point Of knowledge.
The Atlas will be given free with each
prepaid six months subscription to the
Daily Republican, or will BE- sold for
80 cents per copy.

In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are no honest in their
habits that such material d~efenses to
property rs locks, bolts and oars are
not required. Yet its history for the
past thousand years records no more
than two thefts.
OF these two cases, one was that OF a
native who was detected after stealing
several sheep, but as he had lone SO to
supply his family, who were suffering
for want of food, when he had broken
his arm, provisions were furnished to
them and work was found for him when
he was able to do it, and meanwhile he
was placed under medical care, but the
stigma attached to his crime was con-
sidered sufficient punishment.
The other theft was made by a Ger
man. who stole II sheep. But as he was
in comfortable circumstances and the
robbery was malicious the sentence
passed upon him was that he should at
once sell all his property.
