In the east most clubs set themselves
a summer task. such as the establish
ment Of play grounds or recreation
parks, and free kindergartens, the
conduct OF sterilized milk stations or
the organization OF fresh air excur-
siOns Nebraska club women. as a
whole, have not yet accepted the dis
c0very that women's clubs are organ
lied To accomplish reforms which in
diyiduals are not Omnipresent and
strong enough to effect by themselves.
This sixth annual meeting signal
ICES the growing sympathy between
Nebraska club women. 1t has been a
pleasant experience to see again the
faces and TO hear again the voices Of
the women of Nebraska from all over
the state, assembled to celebrate their
unity Of purpose and interest ia cul-
tu-e and humanity. In the immedi.
ate past fellow citizenship has not
been celebrated by women. but these
state meetings are demonstration of
a larger state and national citizen
chip that can not fail to strengthen
unity by proving it A common lam
guage, acceptance Of the same form Of
government, and the struggle for a
livelihood under the same conditions
unite people, but it deepeus SYM
pathy TO come together and talk
about it.

extracts from the papers read, will

Flower Pieces.
Mss Mary e. wilkins IS writing a
series OF short stories called Flower
Pieces. The second one, called
Princes Feather" has just appeared
in Harper's Bazaar. Princes Feather
is that brilliant amaranthine flower
that is sometimes called Love lies
bleeding because its heavy red head
bends the stem down to the ground
at the point where 1t issues from the
earth, 1t has tough and fibTOus,
Though slender, stalk. 1t has no fex-
Utility, and does not bend ia the mid
die, gracefully and bowingly, as all
mortal plants should. but from the
point of contact with the earth, this
flower bends as knife blade is shut
into the case. Frost, snow or lack Of
moisture do not effect its color. When
the lovely rose is rOtted, the anna
ranth. retains its shape and. cheerful
color.

been satisfactorily settled by the
assignment OF delegates and out Of
town speakers to volu, teering host
esses, who lodge their guests and give
them breakfasts. The other two
American meals Of the day, called
dinner and supper, or luncheon and
dinner, according to the sophistica-
tion Of the household, are provided by
hotel or restaurant or by a church
society, and to serve the delegates at
a nominal cost. This years delegates
were served by the ladies Of the First
Congregational church. The plan is
much better than the old one Of quar-
tering the delegates and visitors on
resident club women. and thus pre-
venting them from attending the
meetings themselves. The arrange
ments for the week included lunch
cons, dinners. the large reception in
the gubernatorial residence and many
smaller functions. BY Friday most
o. the delegates bad left the city, a
happy, tired. but stimulated, regi-
ment of women. The full report Of
the meetings is deferred until

may be comprehensive and more in
accordance with the laws Of perspec
tive which govern reports as we'll as

atiun be cons dered as a whole first.
As The Courier forms are nearly made
up before the meeting concludes, such
a view is difficult to obtain this week.

Diplomacy.


The democrats of Baltimore COM
pl in that they can not secure down
town room for headquarters, on &C
count Of the unwarranted prejudice
of landlords against Bryan in that
city. On the other hand Mr.. Richard
Croker, Croker of New York, has
hired every hall 10 that city for every
evening from the 10th Of October to
the 9Th Of November. SO that the re-
publicans cannot hold any meetings.
One Of the Baltimore landlords, the
president Of a savings bank. when re.
preached for not renting his room to
democrats, said according to William
E. tur'is Of The Record, that any
Mckinley organization could use
it free Of cost, but that he would not
rent it to Bryan club for 81 900 a
day. The committee met with a sim.
liar reception when they endeavored
t. lease what is known as the Hamil.
ton Easter building. The owner re-
fused even to consider a proposition.
and told them that they could not
have his building at any price. They
next endea !ored to secure lease
through an agency. but the owners
suspected something and demanded
to know the purpose for which the
building was to be used.

county, III In 1865, but was brought
to Allen county by his parents while
q child in arms and has had his
home here ever since. Mr.. Smith
prepared himslf for the profession of
teaching by work at the Normal Col
lege of Fairfield. ILL.,, at the State
Normal at EmpOria aud at the Kansas
Normal at Ft. Scott. With this ex-
cellent preparation he began teaching
sixteen years ago, and has been in
the work ever since. During all this
time he has attended the County In
stitutes regularly, besides going to
nearly all of the meetings of the
state and District Teachers Assoca-
tions, thus keeping himself fully
abreast with the most adva iced and
approved methods of teaching. He
has served as president of the Allen
county Association, and was for many
years a member of the County Ex-
amining Board, filling both positions
with entire acceptance. He is thor.
,oughly:devoted to his profession and
if chosen superintendent would do
everything in his power to advance
the present high standard of Allen
county schools.
The neighbors of Mr.. Smith are
urging his nomination not only on
personal and professional grounds,
but also on the ground that Deer
Creek township has never yet had a
place on the county ticket, and is
therefore entitled TO this recognition.
They point to the fact that whereas
''once they were blind, now they see, "
that the township has got over its old
bad habit of giving Pop. majorities
and is now as reliably Republican as
Carlyle, aud they think it is time
that Deer Creek man was made one
of the party Nominees And there is
a good deal Of strength in that con-
tentiOn.
Mr.. smith will undoubtedly go into
the convention with strong fol-
lowing.

Refused a Divorce.

Last Christmas two young people
Of lola were married and the friends
extended best wishes and the other
hopes of joy. The groom was about
twenty-five years OF age and the
bride was fifteen. They managed to
live for month together at the home
of her parents and then they moved
to his parents home. BY this time
the glamour and the dreams we're be-
coming somewhat dulled and they
quarrelled some, then moro. Finally
on March she departed from him
and took up her abode with her
mother and Friday, just three
short months after the wedding day,
the bride appeared in court and ask
ed for a divorce. The judge did not
dwell very extensively on the merits
of the claim, but declined to grant Il
divorce on such short notice and re-
marked something about "babiesD in
court and that possibly when the
petitioner married again she would
take more care and thought.

ceived the assurance from friends in
every part of the county that in his
case they would consider "the rules
are suspended" and give him their
cordial support. Whether these AS
surances represent the sentiment of
the majority of the Kepu blicsns of
the county cannot he ascertained, of
course, until the primaries are held
But it is stating only conceded fact
To say that during the three years or
more of his service as Superinten-
dent. Mr. Billbe has filed the office
with consplcious ability. He has
worked at it just as he used to work
at his own business, doing more
every year than the law required,
and exercising sense and judgment
as well as industry TO maintain the
high standard of Allen county schools.
Mr.. Billbe is perfectly we'll aware
of the strong sentiment against q
third term in county office, as a
general rule, and for that reason he
will not make canvass of the county.
He simply feels that with the ex-
perience of the past wo terms he will
be able to do better work than he has
ever done before, and he submits the
decision to the Republicans Of the
county, entirely willing to abide by
their verdict.

Beck's House Robbed.

The boarding and lodging house of
A. p, Beck, at the corner OF South
and Broadway streets, was entered
Friday night and robbed of consider
able clothing. There are four or five
men who room there and they uhfor-
tunately h ad removed their clothes
on retiring, with the result that the
sneak thief as he wandered through
the house found pile of clothing in
nearly cry room. He was not a
common thief, however, but was a
man with a purpose, a thing which
all auth horities agree all people should
have to succeed. He checked up the
garments in every instance except
the coats, five of which he took away
with him. When the men arose this
morning a nd hurried to get ready for
work they learned their loss and their
was genera shivering about the
house when the wind got next to the
shirt sleeves. The thief left no clue,
80 he probably will not be caught.
But for the fact hat Bob Fivecoats is
elsewhere, he might be suspected
from the nature of the theft.

of Erasmus in all his strength and weakness has
been drawn. The author. indeed, declares that
his aim is Ito deal with Erasmus a factor in
the Protestant Reformation and that with the
peculiar and often elusive personality of the
man he has to do only in far as it serves to
suggest an explanation of his attitude toward
the word-movement of his time" But as a
matter of fact he teaches more about the
man than about the reformer. And this, it
should be added, is no fault of his, for the real

EmertOn wittily remarks: AT every stage Of

what others did think he doing. and finally
what the man actually doing. And all this
