These boughs separated into four branches
higher up. The Mexican cut the branches
in such way that they formed perfect
rest for long well sweep. He fastened the
sweep to a crossbar, laid across the two
upper branches in the middle, using stout
thongs for the purpose.
Then he fastened weight on one end OF
the sweep and long rope to the other end.
The bucket is fastened to the end Of this
long rope, and all he has to do is to lower
the bucket into the well. The weight Of the
stone pulls 1t up again, brimming full.

Pastor of Grace Church
brings Glowing Account Of Luther
League Meeting in PittsburE.

Rev. Luther NJ. Kuhns. pastor Of Grace
Lutheran church. has returned home after
a two weeks visit in the east, during
which time he attended the convention Of
the Luther League Of Western Pennsyl-
vania at Pittsburg and delivered a series
Of lectures at the convention and in Phila-
delphia.
Rev. Kuhns' visit east was in response
to an invitation to deliver an address at
the convention Of the Luther league. He
came back enthused over the league, the
work its membe are accomplishing, and
its rapidly increasing membership.
THE league was organized in New York
in 1885," he said. "and the national
league was founded in 1895. The latter is
now composed of 1900 local organizations,
representing a membership of rs 1000 young
people. 1t is a distinctly Lutheran
organization and covers all branches Of
the church. Its conventions are held BIZ
ennially and this one was the greatest 1
have ever attended. The membership Of
the league is growing rapidly and it's
financial condition is good. l was royalty
entertained and greatly enjoyed my visit"
Rev. Kuhns was a member Of the con-
vention which formed the national organ
ization and was instrumental in having
the name Luther League adopted for
all the local organizations. During the
discussion in the convention over the Sc
lection of a name for the organization,
Rev. Kuhns made a speech in favor of
Luther league. A vote was taken and the
name carried. To show their apprecia-
tion of his efforts in its behalf the del
e~gations from New York and Pennsylvania
that had advocated the selection of the
name finally chosen, presented Rev. Kuhns
with a gold medal upon which was the
Luther coat-of-arms Since the organiza-
tion Of the national league Rev. Kuhns
has been actively identified with the work
Of the league and is now a member Of the
national executive committee.
Rev. Kuhns was greatly impressed with
the growth and prosperity of Pittsburg,
at which place he attended school many
years ago. 81 believe 1t soon will be
second to New York and Chicago in the
financial world" he said. "Its growth
since l was there has been phenomenal.
The amount Of freight being shipped out
is wonderful, and, according to the people
OF that city, it is due to republican
prosperity For thirty miles east of Pitts
burg the houses are so thick that 1t APP

Out Of a bit OF unfortunate management
a misunderstanding has arisen among some
OF the members of the Omaha Woman's
club that has led to one OF the most un-
pleasant Incidents in the history Of that
organization, for IL has not only occasioned
hard feelings among some OF the members,
but promises to result in embarrassment
to at least a score Of women who were
guests of the club on last Monday, about a
dozen OF them being from out In the state.
II had been arranged that a conference OF
the clubs. federated and unfederated, of the
Second district be called to meet In Omaha
on Monday morning. the call having been
issued by Mrs. II. d. Nicely, district vice
president, for the purpose OF stimulating
and strengthening the work of the Ne
braska Federation in this district. The
Omaha Woman's club offered the use OF its
rooms for the meeting and as its regular
open meeting was to be. held in the after
noon, II was decided to invite the visiting
women to be guests at this afternoons ses-
sion and to give an informal tea drinking
and reception at its close, that all the club
women might have the advantage OF meet
ing the women from out OF town. Later
Mrs. Nicely and those associated with her
in arranging for the district federation
meeting decided to extend their invitation
to the vice presidents of the other Ave dis
%tricts, to the oficers Of the Nebraska fed
Grafton and some others. The time was
limited and that all might beseompassed as
quickly and easily as possible, il was sug-
gested by one Of the women interested In
the district meeting that the invitations
for both the district meeting and the
Woman's club meeting be sent out together.
This was presented TO the executive com
mittee OF the club and allowed and the
state ofheers, the district vice presidents
and presidents Of clubs received invitations

Alaskan Says IL Never Gets Colder
Than that at Town
of valdez.

e. C. Van Brundt OF Valdez, Alaska,
was at the Willard hotel yesterday en-
route to New York on a business trip.
Mr.. Van Brundt has been in the northern
country for two years. He is one OF the
few who struck 1t rich there, and, although
he could return to this country and live
the rest Of his days in a brown stone
front in New York City and support a sum-
mer mansion at Newport, he now calls
Valdez his home and will return there as
soon as his business affairs will permit.

Woman's Work in Club and Charity

have occasioned very much feeling, how
ever, as less than a dozen members OF the
Woman's club had been asked 10 the dis
trict conference, had not the promoters Of
this district conference decided to enter
tain the Sisiting women at a luncheon at
noon. It happens that the majority Of the
visiting club women, especially those whom
the women generally have been DESTROYS Of
meeting, who have come to omaha during
the last year or so, have been entertained
privately with a few local officers or friends
Of the hostess, or at a luncheon, where only
the officers, and a fortunate few, have been
invited to meet them. Naturally, the
women generally have resented this, and
as 1t has occurred several times, not a few
have come TO feel that the club had been
purposely left out, when a general reception
might have been given.
When Il became known hat there was
another exclusive luncheon on foot, and
with many Of the women very naturally
believing that the club was hostess, there
was rebellion. an outburst at the Monday
meeting only being averted by the presence
Of the guests.
Realizing the mistake Of combining the
invitations and unwilling that feeling
should result from 1t. the president Of
the woman ; CluDt Win Il lew ONu0I9i re-
quested that an explanation be made
through the press that the matter might
be made clear to all. This the district
federation promoters we're unwilling to
do, feeling that the least said the sooner
mended." Yesterday afternoon Mrs. F. II.
Cole, the club president. called a meet
ing OF the executive committee, that some
authorized explanation might be made, but
again her judgment was overruled and
nothing has yet been done.
To add to the complications. stock has
been made Of the fact that two Of the
women most active In the arrangements
for the district meeting were present at
the meeting OF the executive board OF the
Nebraska Federation held in Omaha on last
Tuesday, and as neither Of them are now
members OF the executive committee, there
was general criticism OF their being al
the meeting. and their presence there has
been attributed 10 political ambition.
