sumo that 1t commenced? With the Decla-
ration with the first shot at Lexington. or
prior. 1t is the wish of the national society
to include every patriot, from the begin
ming to the end Of the revolutionary move
ment. and I think It may safely be as
sumed that the first act in resistance to the
oppressive measures of Great Britain was
when the colonies refused to comply with
the stamp act and mobbed the stamp act
officers. I recommend. therefore, a reso-
luton to the effect that for the purpose of
the society the revolutionary period shall
be held to extend from the resistance to the
stamp act Q765 to the treaty Of inde-
pendence Q795).

against nine votes for Mrs Moss. the pres

The disagreement within the ranks first
arose through a question of rules for the

the rules Of the body rescinded. In order to
formulate a set Of rules which were deemed

PRAISES LABOR UNIONS
President Of Massachusetts Board Of Trade
Says Organization is Good.
FAvoRs RoosEvELTS TARIFF COMMISSION
English Delegates warn Against HiEh
Duties, but Praise shipping Trust
as n BENEFIT TO Great
britain.

BOSTON, Nov, 25.-In his report at the
Massachusetts, State Boards OF Trades an
nual meeting here today, Charles F. Adams
endorsed the suggestion made by President
Roosevelt last summer for the appoint
ment Of a national committee to consider
matters Of tariff legislation.
In speaking about labor he said:
The movement recently initiated among
nonunion worktngmen to form a national
association is the commencement of a
forceful sentiment that will hasten a solu-
ton of the great question regarding the
rights of all those who are constitutiUnally
a part of this nation.
Resolutions favoring reciprocity with
Canada were passed.
A delegation of business men from the
London Chamber Of Commerce, headed by
Sir Vincent harrington, were guests.
Sir Vincent, speaking Of the shipping
trust, said he believed il would prove Of
benefit to England in case Of war with
another nation.
Sir John Laruie advocated the open door
in China.
Faithful F. Begg said II high tariff was
maintained. the result would probably be
a preferential trade agreement between
England and it's colonies.
Mr.. Kenrie b. Murray, secretary OF the
London Chamber Of Commerce, suggested
the construction of a British-American
commercial congress.

DOCTOR HoWERTH'S LECTURE
Argues That Element of Competition
is Not Permanent i'm
Social System.

The lecture at the First Congregational
church last night by Ira w. Howerth, Phi.
D., was an argument to show that the ele-
ment Of competition is not permanent in
the social system. The social system, the
speaker said, is in process of development
similar to the biographical, is of slow
growth, obeying the avs of evolution and
advancing toward perfection. TIL imper-
lection of society today is demonstrated
by the need of repressive forces, the feel
ing of distance which we now have toward
stt ange is but a modification Of the feel
ing which drove primitive man to. war
Upon his fellows. This was. shown to be
due to the competitive principle, which
while developing the intelligence, also de-
velops, cunning, ~shrewdness, craft. and
leaves friendship, love, and sympathy I'M
developed. That cooperation is a prin-
ciple of nature. was illustrated from OAR
wins statement OF the dependency Of clover
in England upon the number Of cats in the
community. Gregarian animals are docile
yet they survive. So can mankind. Coop
GRAFTON means working together, which
means feeling together, and from this re-
suits sympathy and love, the attributes Of
a perfect social system.

RAILROADS MAKE MUCH MONEY
Net Earnings Grow by More Than
Fifty Million
Dollars,

% WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The prelimi-
nary report Of the Interstate Commerce
commission on the income of railways for
the year ended June 80 last, contains re-
turns of companies operating 1875, 900 miles
or line.
The passenger earnings we're $472, 429, 1856
and the freight earnings ST. 200, 1874, sos.
Gross earnings amounted to $1,711, 745. 200,

81, 1O6, 1877, 405 or $5,645 per mile, leaving
net earnings Of S6O5, SIG, 795, or &3,O91 per
mile. The net earnings we're s51, 1895, 421
greater than during the previous year.
The total income Of the operating roads

from investments and miscellaneous
sources, was s6SS, 33t, 2s7. The deductions

A PLEASANT SURPRISE


IN store for Those who Doubt.
When you read that a sufferer Of many
years standing has been completely re-
stored to health by using Smiths Cure
all you are inclined to doubt the state
ment and, in fact, have no belief in 1t
whatever. The reason for this is that so
much is claimed for Cure-all Il is impos-
sible for anyone to believe it; IL the ad-
v%ertiser confined his claims to the curing
Of one disease, as do the proprietors Of
Pyramid Pile Cure readers would have
much more faith in published testimonials.
Those familiar with this great remedy
know that testimonials as to its merit may
be relied upon Implicitly; also that the
cures brought about by its use are little
short of marvellous. The genuineness Of
the testimonial here given is vouched for
and is but one of thousands received:
II had a friend who had used one box Of
5O-cent Pyramid Pile Cure that entirely
cured her. I saw the good effect on her
and thought l would try it, as had got
so / could not sit down without extreme
pain and getting up was Just as bad; the
first box nearly cured me; / got the second
box and have had no trouble since. Pyra-
mid Pile Cure does all that Il claims to do
and l never miss an opportunity to tell
it's merits. l speak from observation and
personal benefit. Two boxes cured me
over a year ago and no return of the
trouble since" Mrs. NJ. Mooney, 5000
Sangamon street, Chicago, III.
Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by druggists
for fifty cents a package or will be mailed
to any address upon receipt Of price by
Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich. Write
this firm for their book describing the
cause and cure Of piles.

Harry Bohm, Miss Anderson. Gertrude
Harris, Mrs. Susie Allen, Julius Newman,
Mrs. Rose Rackley, Miss Grace Peckham
was the accompanies. Prizes were awarded
to Mrs. James Montgomery n James

stricken costumes. The entertainment COM
mittee was composed of Mrs. H. Heyman,
chairman; Mrs. Bohm, Mrs. julius Mont
gomery, Mrs. Ida Wilson and Mrs. Ray
Harris. After the entertainment refresh
ments were served. The social was given

AS something of an innovation In the
Omaha schools, Miss Hit, supervisor Of
drawing, has introduced within the month
the use OF water color crayons in several
Of the schools. AS these materials are
not furnished by the school board, they
are only being used in rooms where the
children care for them and provide them,
They are at present being used in twenty
rooms Of six schools. The work is for the
most part original and some surprisingly
good landscape work has been done IN the
use Of the primary colors. The children
are told to draw a sky line, and then TO
lay In their colors. Sometimes only two
colors are used, these being blended with
excellent result. 1T was noticeable at the
beginning that there was scarcely any
difference between the work Of the seventh
and eighth grades and that OF the children
OF the first. The work was new 10 all
and the cautiousness Of the older children
was a hi~ndrance to results. For some
time the children have been using colored
crayons and have accomplished much with
them.

Harry B. Hunsicker has set out to make
Harry's friend, A. j. Metcalf of Central
City, Neb.. that Harry had been fired"
The method Harry adopts to induce this
10000 damages. The petition, filed yester-
day, relates that Hunsieker. George Voor-
HES and NJ. f. Martin & co, were doing a
three-cornered real estate commission bust
ness at 23 South Thirteenth street and
that Hunsicker withdrew ION his own mo-
tion.' but that some time later, when Met
calf called, young Martin not only stated
that Hunsicker had been fired" but i'm
piled that he had been guilty OF embezzle-
ment, which alleged false and slanderous
statement has since been very damaging to
him, the plaintiff in the case.
