Price OF . Bed
in tie city Of Lincoln

At how much do you prize your sur
roundings in sleep?
What is the difference to you be-
tween a soft luxurious bed and a soft,
cosy cot?
To the owners and the caretakers in
Lincoln II is a matter of $1.5O or one
dime
This is the gamut of lodging house
prices In Lincoln. IL you are a nabob
YOU will find sumptuous apartments In
one of the big hotels and the cost will
be $50 a night, not including board
money. II you are a person Of embar-
rassed financial standing you will find
the cheapest place to be a basement
bedroom with about = dozen cots
ranged round the walls. This is at
the Lincoln City Mission on South
Ninth street. With medium monetary
condition you will be able to get bed
at most any figure between the ex-
tremes.
Lincoln Is not wretchedly poor
community. 1t is not common to find
boxes and barrels shielding wretched
vagabonds unable to fish up the price
Of a bed from some remote corner of
their pockets. In the summer season
and In the fall before the cold waves
begin to bear down on the country
many a person takes comfort under
the open heavens, in some dark nook
in the shadow of bush or shrub on
somebody's lawn. This is all right
and nice until the rain comes down.
Then when the weather turns cold the
shiftless and the unfortunate betake
themselves to shelter.
There is truly much comfort in a
cot. 1t is not a pretentious place of
rest but ii is of yielding character,
carries a downy pillow and the sheets
and coverlets are wholly satisfactory.
On that account the unfortunate man
who can still raise a dime and keep it
from the magnetic hands of the bar
keeper or other entertainer delights to
expend 1t in this manner. A night Of
good sleep is a most valuable asset In
the next days stroll and it is good
whether the sleeper contemplates an
other stroll or not. 1t mends the worn
fabric of his being and soothes the
troubled vagaries of his brain. 1t does
not matter that he is in the company
of many snoring comrades of distress
with no partition, door or lock be-
tween. None has much money, IL more
than enough to pay the nights lodg-
ing. and hence none fears to wake and
find his valuables missing. 1t does not
matter that the room, down in the
smells damp and musty; he
Is accustomed to more unpleasant
odors. 1t does not matter il the rats
come forth and hold noisy carnival
under his couch. They can be COM
panionable IL he is awake but the
chances are that he will sleep soundly
through any such racket.

THE COU RI E r

1t pay to sleep soundly at $1.50 a night,
when sunlight streams in at the win
dow nearly as soon as you strike the
pillow, or is it economy to stay awake?
In other words, how can a man get his
moneys worth at $3.50 sleep? The
sunlight does stream in at the window,
daylight at least, for these rooms are
SO situated as to face the world. 1t
makes no difference on what story the
$1.50 guest chooses to take his rest.
With finely upholstered furniture,
lounges, easy chairs, brightly polished
dressers, beveled mirrors and soft car
pets these rooms are really as COM
Portable as anybody could ask. Each
is furnished, too, with bath. Besides,
each of them, in one hotel at least, Is
equipped with a long distance tele-
phone. But the best Of all is the bed,
with its broad surface and soft, box
mattress More luxurious comfort
could not be obtained from a room

without work and his money was ex-
hausted. He was not really able to
work anyway and as he slowly toiled
down the street ii was with a determ-
ination TO end his life before morning.
He was bound for the railroad tracks
or Salt Creek or any place that would
favor him i'm his vague but fixed pur-
pose to kill himself. From the win
dows of the mission shone the lights
within and a man was standing out
side. He accosted the tottering,
friendless wanderer and they entered
into conversation. The man discov-
cred that his need was a friend, more
than anything else and he had found
one. His purpose to suicide went
glimmering. He entered and was
given work and after few months he
went away. He is known to be COM
paratively contented now.
Drunken men frequently find their
way to the mission. All kinds of men
with a yearning for sleep come in. Sell
dom is any difficulty encountered i'm
handling men. One time many weeks
ago drunken man entered and made
himself very disagreeable OF course
he wanted a bed but he didn't 60
about 1t in very suave way.
The end was that he was toted
to the shower bath and made to
suffer the chills of some very cold wa
ter. 1t served to steady him in good
shape and he gave no further trouble
There are men who lodge there as reg
ularly as clockwork. Their garments are
not of the best by any means and their
countenances tell volumes of trouble
and sadness that has overtaken them.
Their wages are poor and they find
friendship and cheap board and lodging
at this place and there they stay. On
an upper floor they rent canvas rooms
for fifty cents a week. A bed in one of
these would be fifteen cents a night for
single night Ropes are strung across
the room and on them canvas is hung.
Canvas doors give each snug apart
ment an entrance, and inside is a cot,
box with a candle on it furnished
by the house, and perhaps a chair or
a box for the convenience of the guest
1t is a most meagre outfit of furnish
ings, but crude comfort is found there
in.
A few small rooms barely trif1e
better furnished are reserved for fam
lilies. They are rented for twenty-five
cents a night or 81 a week. Several
times this winter the charity organ
ization has sent destitute families there
for safekeeping, paying the charges
out Of its own funds.
The regular patrons gather in the
lobby Of this poverty hotel between
the hours Of seven o'clock and nine and
tell hard luck "reminiscences and talk
Of public policies until nature bids
them retire. Then they seek their re-
spective cots and dream about them.
In some cities, particularly the larger
ones, "sit up" houses are maintained
for those who cannot afford to spend a
dime for a bed For the privilege of
sitting on a bench and reclining the
head on the arms, resting on a table,
they pay five cents. Previous to their
for sleep they are given a
bowl of soup on this same nickel. Lin
coin has no element so destitute as
to have to rely on this fare.
Neither has the place a lodging house
where a guest must pay as high as $50
a night. Many a large town has, but
has not reached that pitch of
elegance. Think Of it, only s1.50. Still
that is large enough to the man who

1T gives me great pleasure TO rec
ommend Dodd's Kidney Pills as a
cure for Kidney Trouble.
MY kidneys troubled me more or
less for years and treatment by local
physicians only gave me partial and
temporary relief.
IAN old friend. knowing my trouble
advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills
telling me at the same time how
much they had helped him.

NO EXTRA SESSION IN SIGHT.
federal interference Can Only
Be From Call by a State.
MAY ADJUST THE FREIGHTs.

Washington, Oct There will be
no call for an extra session of congress
to deal with the coal strike situation
at this stage. The president expressly
stated in his appeal to the operators
and representatives of the miners that
he did not act officially in calling
them together. He has for the time
being exhausted his individual re-
sources. In his view, the matter is
again one with which the state of
Pennsylvania should deal. If the
commonwealth finds itself unable to
control the situation and appeals to
him through the constitutional chan
nels, the president will be ready to
bring into play the great forces of the
national government, military and
civil. But for the time being the
president has relaxed his efforts.
A great many radical suggestions
have been made as the result of the
failure of the conference, and they in
clude everything from taking posses
sion of the mines by the government
to sending U. S. troops to Pennsyl-
vania without regard TO any call from
the governor of the state. 1t can be
positively stated that none of these
suggestions have received any serious
consideration by the administration.
As the coal moves mostly from the
producing states to other states in the
Union, the carriers and their rates are
subject to the jurisdiction that con-
gross conferred on the interstate COM
merce commission.
Those informed on the subject say
there would be little difficulty in get
ting some competent person to make a
formal complaint, of which the COM
mission is empowered to notify the
carriers and afford them a hearing and
then to institute and carry on an in
vestigation to determine whether rates
they charge for transporting coal are
unjust and unreasonable within the
meaning OF the first section of the act
to regulate commerce
