Economical House-Keepin Notes.

If you want to save numerous
steps to the meat house, have a box
with hinged cover in the kitchin with
a weeks supply of the different kinds
of meat you use. Place several folds
of old newspapers in the bottom to
absorb the drippings, and in this
box you can save every skin and
scrap. The very fat pieces, which
at times are not used, soak with the
skins in a few changes of water, and
fry out inside the stove. Nice enough
for any use. Make you a wash apron
of an old gossamer skirt or piece of
oilcloth. Have cook aprons with
quilted filters, for handling hot pans.
Sew or pin the filters on a band to
attach to waistband of apron. My
best "comforters" are made of five
cent brown domestic muslin, color
ed with red diamond dye. They are
pretty and soft, and cheaper and
more durable than calico, for the
calico takes three widths while the
muslin requires only two The col
or will be fast if directions are fol-
lowed. Two packages of dye colors
20 yards beautifully, and this makes
two good sized comforts. House
keepers should use more cotton dyes.
When the nice muslin underwear
gets stained or begins to show wear,
l throw it into a good dark dye, and
then use it for common wear. 1t
lasts much longer, as it is not ne
cessary to wash it, and then when
utterly worn out is already colored
for the rag carpet. Mothers, have you
tried the cheap black sateen, 10 cents
quality, for children's summer under
wear9 It is the most satisfactory
cotton underwear made. 1t also
makes the best waist for colored
flannel shirts. Make your fire screens
of oilcloth. They are pretty, easily
kept clean, and when you have made
a nice one, it last for years. Old
Turkish bath towels, the rougher
the better, are the incest things for
polishing mirrors and lamp chin
neys. When your iron gets rough
and sticky rub it on a twig of cedar,
and see how NIGEL it polishes.

Make the ChiId's Punishment Fit His
Offense.
OHense.

The punishment should be proper
toned to the ofense and grow out of
it as a-natural consequence. A child
who is lazy in the morning and per-
~sistently late for breakfast should
be deprived, not of a proper amount
of food, but of something he par
ticularly likes and might have had
if he had been in time, as sugar on
the oatmeal, or syrup on the grid
die cakes. If he has been promised
that he should go for a drive, or a
walk, or some expedition, and is not
ready at the time for starting he
should be left behind. The bitter
disappointment will teach him, as
nothing else can do as efectually,
the value of punctuality. If he is
sent on an GRAND and does not re-
turn promptly he should not be al
lowed to taste the nice things made
with the sugar or eggs he was so
long in bringing. If his errand were
of some other nature he should be
made to stay alone in his own room
for as long a time as he kept his
mother, or any one else, waiting

UNCLE BILL SNOWDEN SICK
Writes Medicine Testi-

Uncle Bill snowden, who has never been
known by other title to the attorneys and
others who have had occasion frequently
to visit the county court. where he has
served so long as constable, is sick at his
home, 712 South Twenty-ffth avenue.
Uncle Bill has never felt Just right since
the recent publication in the Omaha dailies
and in the press all over the nation of a
letter alleged to have been received from
him by a patent medicine company. COM
mending its elixir as the real rejuvenator
and attesting that he had used 1t with
results that practically amounted to his
being made a new man.. He AYERS with all
the emphasis Of a true Kentuckian that he
never even tasted the medicine and that he
doesn't know whether 1t is for appendicitis
or chilblains.
He ~strenuously objects to the use Of his
name In such connection and says further
that the statement hat he has been made a
we'll man comes inopportunely in view Of the
fact that he now has in congress an appli-
cation for increased pension, alleging seven
different disabilities.
He has not been on duty for a week past,
being confined to his homo, and part OF the
time to his bed, and the ONCE chair that Is
always his when he is not out serving
papers has been respectfully left vacant
during all his absence.

CRIMINAL COURT MATTERS
Question of Legality OF Grand Jury

Week.

Arguments in the states case against
Johnnie Gillian OF South Omaha, charged
with asssulting Annie wessenberg one
night last August. occupied the time Of the
criminal court until noon yesterday and Il
was decided not to. begin the trial OF Ida
Mitchell. a dusky pres%tidigitatress who
showed a man from the farm how to take
money out Of his clothes without his know
ing II. Judge Baxter did not wish to begin
a new case so late in the week. when the
present panel Of jurors time properly ex-
pires this week.
Accordingly there is to be taken up Mon
day, as soon az the new Jurors are gath
cred, the plea in abatement filed by George
A. Hill and Charles R Hill. indicted on a
charge Of selling liquor without a license.
They base their plea on the allegation that
the grand jury which indicted them was
illegally drawn and the jury list illegally
made up, and Deputy County Attorney Ell
mer Thomas proposes to have the plea tried
before a jury to determine II the allega-
ton is correct. The list was made UP jan
uary 8, 1901. and the grand Jury was drawn
August %, so that the witnesses summoned
are to be the county stan of last year, in

1t is not anticipated that IT will require
more than a day to try the case. Should
the state be successful the trial Of the Hills
will not be taken up at once. but will be
allowed to come In its . regular order.
Should the state fail 1t will at once prepare

MAIL WEIGHING SATISFIES
superintendent West Reports the
Work I'm the Division In
Good Condition.

K. L. West, superintendent OF the sixth
division Of the railway mail service, who is
In the city looking after the weighing of
the mails In this state, Is finding, accord
ing to his report, a very good condition Of
AFFAIRS. In only a few cases has It been
necessary to remove weighers. The first
week of the Weighing is the time for the
sitting process. At Pacific Junction one re-
moval was necessary, as the weigher could
not keep his accounts straight. A weigher
on the Omaha and Ogden is giving a little
trouble, but has not been removed.
The Union Pacific railroad is keeping a
record of the weighing at the transfer at
Council Bluffs, which is being compared
with the weights reported four years ago.
The office will not give out exact figures.
but 1t is stated that the first weeks weigh
ing showed a gain Of 35 per cent over four
years ago. This report is questioned by the
United States officers in charge of the
weighing, one Of whom said that he was
positive the rate Of increase was too high.
= There has been an increase in the fourth
weighing section" said he, but 1t is moth
ing like IS per cent. The increase at the
Union Pacific transfer may be more than at
any other point in the division. as that
place is the most important gateway for
mail between the east and the west, but I
am certain that no such Increase is shown
and l would be surprised II II were approx
mately correct.
ut Is impossible to make an estimate on
the work OF the first week, as the system
has not been completely installed. After
the third week a comparison might show
something Of the relative gain or loss In
the weighing, but until then all figures are
unsatisfactory and misleading"

CONVENTION IS COMING HERE
Disciples Of Christ Certain to Meet in
Omaha During October.
FAILURE OF AUDITORIUM NOT VITAL
Committee In Charge of ARRANGEMENTS
Has Ample support from Bust
ness Men and VIII Go Ahead
Regardless of Fluke.

OMAHA, March ito the Editor OF The
Bee: Having noticed in your Thursday
evening edition something to the effect that
the International convention OF the Dis
ciples Of Christ would not be held in
Omaha this coming October, l wish to adj
wise you that there can be no question
whatever about this convention being held
in Omaha, and on time.
The local committee is fully determined
upon this and has had many assurances
since yesterday that they will be fully sup
ported by the public-spirited business men
of Omaha, and on this they are going TO
rely, and we sincerely hope that we may
count upon your cooperation in this mat
ter. The reputation and honor Of the city
of Omaha. as we'll as Of our local churches.
are at stake and they must be and will be
fully protected.
Any assurance you can give to the public
to relieve them Of the impression that the
failure of the auditorium will interfere
with the convention will be appreciated by
thu local committee. Yours truly,
JAMES H.. TAYLOR,
Vice Chairman.

GROCERS WANT LEGISLATION
They win Appoint Committee to Represent
Them at Lincoln,
DEMAND TAX ON TRAVELLING MERCHANTS
Retailers Also want GRrnIshment and
Exemption Laws Amended So
that D~eadbestinR Will he
More DimcuIt.

The state organization Of retail grocers
and general merchants Is making prepare
tions for It's annual convention. which VIII
be held in Lincoln this year at a date to be
Fixed BY the executive committee. J. b.
Cunningham, president Of the association,
was in the city yesterday comforting with
members as to the coming convention.
THE association" said Mr.. Cunningham,
ais in a hourishing condition. The state
organizer is adding names to the rolls daily
and by the time of the next convention we
hope to have the majority OF the merchants
I'm the state enrolled. The coming conven~
ton will be one of the most important ever
held. as the questions considered and the
decisions arrived at will shape the future
for the grocer and general merchant OF the
state for years. We hope to have with US
men of long experience and national repu-
tation who will advise us In matters anect-
ing the business and will bring into CO.
operation with us the Wholesale houses and
commission men. At this time these people
do not seem to be taking the interest In
the association that they should. IL Is 10
the interest Of the wholesale house that the
retail merchant secures a living profit upon
his commodities, for otherwise the whole
sale dealer will find himself loaded up with
worthless accounts.
Legislative Questions UppermOst'
"At the coming meeting legislative ques-
lions will be considered and it is possible
that a strong committee will be appointed
TO represent the association before the next
session Of the legislature. Among the most
important questions which we will ask the
legislature to pass upon is that of the ped
dlar. At the present time large eastern
concerns will ship into the smaller towns
a carload Of goods which will be sold to
the consumers at a price which is luminous
to the local merchant. The eastern con-
Germ pays no taxes, nor does II assist the
community in any way. The local mer-
chant has to pay all Of these expenses, or
his proportion OF them, and therefore has
to make a higher profit than the man who
has nothing to pay except the cost OF the
goods, the price OF transportation and the
commission or salary Of the salesman. We
will ask that a tax be placed upon these
peddlars.
1.-THE garnishment and exemption laws
will receive SINE attention at the hands of
the committee. The time is past when the
state of Nebraska can afford to assist a
man 90 be dishonest, or to escape the pay
ment OF his honest debts. We want Moth
ing unreasonable on this score, but a law
which will give the merchant an oppor-
tunity to collect bills from those abun-
dainty able. but unwilling to pay.
The child labor law will also receive
attention at our hands. We want a strong
law we'll enforced upon this subject. 1t is
not right to permit corporations or indi-
viduals to employ children to do the work
which should be performed by men and
women. Just what we will ask on this sub
ject has not been determined"
