MAY BE MUSTERED OUT.
Company x at Grnnell Must Improve
and Must Have Better Armory.

st may be-" remarked Adjutant
General Prime, significantly, after an
inspection of Company X at Grinnell,
last evening, that Grinnell will pre-
fer to build a new armory rather than
have the company mustered out" In
spector General Prime was accompan-
MED by Major Hume. The inspection
was made at the order of Colonel H. Fl.
Caughlan. Captain Lewis r. Joy has
resigned his commission, and the colo
mel desired to know the condition of
the company before it was accepted.
Adjutant General Byers says that
the company has been run down for
some time, and intimated that it might
be mustered out. The captain has
been away a great deal of the time,
and little interest in the welfare of the
company seems to be taken by the
townspeople. The armory is a small
frame affair and is. entirely unsatisfac-
tory. 1t Is owned by a wealthy banker,
who is reputed to be we'll able to build
new armory if he would, and the
matter has been under discussion for
some time, but without result.

Gently moved to Spokane, Washington,

Mr.. Blake's Letter.
81 have been so busy getting settled
since our arrival here that in my for
mer letters to you | have not had the
time to tell you much about the city
of Spokane or the country.
Spokane is beautiful city of about
so 900 or $1,000. Business of all kinds
is good. Everyone seems to be en-
ployed and at good wages. There is a
great deal of building here going on all
the time, both business and residence
the costs of which | could not estimate
Spokane is sure to make a great
city and believe within ten years will
have a population OF three times the
present number. 1t is fine mining
center, besides having a fine agricul
tural country around it.
Il start tomorrow with John Gray
of the Crystal mine and a party of 81,
for the Crystal mine, of which yor
have heard so much. will tell yor
more about it on my return, but the
/ information l have received from mel
who have been to the mine, convince'
me that the Crystal mine will make
1 big money for all who are fortunate
i enough to have stock in it.
'.Mr. Gray has raised the necessar.
/ funds for a smelter, which will go il
at once and when this is done. tn
stock will undoubtly go up at once Il
800 per share. Mr.. Gray has beer
i,rntiring in his efforts to make the min
a success and his last effort, whicl
/ has proved successful, will insur

so per cent of it was soft, and only
fit for Immediate feeding.
A point worthy of consideration in
connection with the crop report for
the current year is the excellent show
ing made by the counties in the west
ern part of the state. The reports from
these localities are excellent and indi-
cate that the agricultural possibilities
OF western Nebraska have not by any
means been exhausted

TO AID SUFFERING
CALL ISSUED FOR FUNDS TO RE.
LIEvE GREAT DISTRESS IN
MACEDONIA.
charitably Inclined ottumwans Ask
ed to Help in Plans for Relief of
100000 Homeless People Threaten
ed With Starvation.

Ottumwans who are enjoying the
fruits of prosperity, living in good
homes, with plenty to eat and with
good clothes to wear have been asked
to subscribe to Il fund that is being
raised to relieve the terrible distress
which now prevails throughout Mace
donia. 1t is estimated that as many
as a hundred thousand homeless peo-
pie, largely women and children, are
threatened with death, many having
already succumbed to exposure and
starvation. The cold of rigorous Win
ter is already upon the country. Prac-
teal arrangements for relief are be-
ing made. similar to those which sew
en- year ago successfully collected and
distributed more than a million dol
lars without loss or delay to save the
survivors of the Turkish massacres in
Armenia. The crushed and homeless
population of Macedonia, in the stress
of the unsuccessful struggle for lib
erty is surely worthy the sympathy of
the American people, who have never
failed to respond to the call of human
suffering.

anime the gripman's injuries
Passengers Are Few.
1t soon became apparent that deter
mined efforts are being made by the
company to break the strike at its in
ception. Passenger cars quickly fol
lowed those carrying mail but were
almost invariably empty. The patrons
apparently preferred to walk or to
make long detours to the steam and
elevated lines rather than risk injury.
Women Sent on Cars.
The first car on the Wentworth av-
enue line carried few women. The
strikers say the women were put there
by the company to test the attitude of
the union toward passengers. The
cars were promptly blockaded by
teamsters at Van Buren, street.
Early Meeting of Union.
The strike was ordered at an early
morning mass meeting with only four
dissenting votes and is to enforce the
demands for q twenty-five per cent in
crease and recognition of the union.
Three thousand employees are involy-
ed and 220 miles of surface trackage
is owned by the company.
Mail Cars Not Disturbed.
The union officials, fearing that in
reference with the operations of the
mail service would result in calling
troops from Fort Sheridan to protect
| the cars, instructed the motormen on
the mail cars to report for duty as US
ual. 1t is said that when the they re-
ported the barn bosses insisted that
/ they must take off their union but
tons if they intended to work. Many
refused to do this.
Other Lines Crowded.
| Vehicles of all kinds were pressed
into service and are well patronized
Steam and elevated systems are badly
congested. The first train on the Cot
tage Grove avenue line succeeded in
making round trip but it is said the
crew deserted when the barns were
reached.
i Strike Breaker Stoned.
4 The worst disorder during the early
hours was at Clark and Van Burer
streets where two Wentworth cars fol
lowed by mail cars were blockaded. Or

to be Boss" Farrell, the strike break

Red Cross May Help.
| The board of officers of the Red
Cross society is now in session in New
| York comforting concerning the pro-
posed plans of relief, and is in corre-
spondence with this committee. Calls
have come to Miss Clara Barton for
Red Cross service, and it is known
that Miss Barton is deeply concerned
personally and desires that the Amer
lean National Red Cross shall be util-
lied if it is thought that through its
! instrumentality the suffering can be
most effectually reached and relieved
Miss Barton says that the Turkish
government during the Armenian re-
4 lief work in 1895 accorded aid and she
believes that the Red Cross may be
of equal usefulness in the present
emergency. Miss Barton may go ie
! person. She says: Il may feel it my
4 duty to 60" The rules of the British
Red Cross do not admit of relief move
ments except in case of actual war
and then only under military direction
But the British society will cooper
ate informally and is in communities
ton with Miss Barton by cable.

When is pride sinful? When it be-
comes the excess of the underlying
virtue. Wrongful pride is the undue
exaltation of self. 1t is regarding one
self from mistaken point of view in
reference to ones abilities, character
istics or disposition. 1t is centering
thought upon self to the exclusion of
others, their interests and the obliga-
ton which one sustains to them more
than is consistent with duty to them.
In other words, it is selfish, and what
ever is selfish is so far sinful The
false notions which thus are begotten
about ourselves lead to false adjust
ments of our lives to the lives of others.

and when trying conditions confront
you; remember that there is govern

bring light out of darkness, joy out of
sorrow and hope out of despair Be
patient and acquiescent. Let the Ruler
of the Universe and the Lord of the
Individual manage affairs in His own
way and at His own time. Neither
grow weary nor become too anticipa-

God your cares, taking His dispersal
