First Annual Report of oesla Band Of
Mercy.
Respectfully
W. d. CARN,
Secretary.

In presenting this, our first annual
report and balance sheet, the secre-
tary feels that q short statement as
to the growth of the B. o. NJ, taken
from the minute book, may be suit
able and interesting to the committee.
Our band was formed on June 6,
1903, at Grace church rectOry, pre-
sided over by Rev. H. W. Little as
president of the newly formed assO-
citation. Twenty-seven boys and
girls were enrolled and silver badges
presented to them by the president.
A few rules and regulations were
adopted. which have been found to
work well
On June p a very interesting spec
ial service was held at Grace church,
after which many other members OBJ
tanned badges. We then numbered
thirty-seven members and fifteen
associates.
At a meeting of the band held Au-
gust :, the young people were re-
ouested as many as wished, to pre-
pare essays on Kindness" to be sent
in to the secretary by October 1.
On New Years eve a large gather
ing of our members and their friends
met at the kindergarten, when an in
teresting program was carried out,
and sixteen new members and asso'
ciates received their badges.
On April 9, 1904, a meeting, largely
attended, was held at the armory
when the prizes, etc, which were
competed for for essays on Kind
ness were afterwards presented by
the president, and twelve new mem
bers also received their badges.
On June -, a melon fete was held
in the rectory grounds, and it appear:
a matter of history that it was sue
cess. though not financially. The
proceeds were desired, as you know
for the purpose of distributing hu-
name literature to those unable to at
tain it in any other way
OF course much more in detail
could be added to this very simple
and matter-of-fact statement, but
there is no need to multiply words.
So far as we have gone our worf
has been carried out on the lines we
All wished for and we have the salts
faction of truly believing that many
Of our Young friends are faithful t.
their pledge in trying to be kind t.
all living creatcres and in protecting
them from cruel usages.
On behalf of the committee.

No Respect for Color.

Living in briar patch beside the
railroad track, gagged and with her
arms and limbs securely dashed with
straps which all but cut through the
tender skin, Clara Tippen, a little
nine-year old negro girl, who lives at
% 1-2 Wallace street, was accidently
discovered by an unknown person
walking along the track in the rear
of the girls home, Thursday morn
ing.
Almost Ifeless from exhaustion and
fright the girl could hardly speak
when first released. Her story when
finally told in broken sentences was
unspeakably horrible.
Overtaken by a negro man she was
beaten into submission, outraged and
then tied to the track by the tend,
who evidently thought that the on
coming train would hide the signs of
his awful crime After leaving his
victim for a few minutes the demon
returned for some unknown reason
perhaps his nerve failed him-and
cutting the straps which held the
child to the rails he hurled her body
in the nearby thicket,
The matter has been reported to
the police and detectives are now at
work upon the case.-Atlanta Journ-

SIVE STITCHING ON MARTIN
RYAN'S FACE.

Bleeding. from gaping knife wounds
in his face, Martin Ryan was found
by the police crouching beneath some
clothing in closet at his home, 6l3
Fifth street N. The officers were called
there by neighbors, who reported that
fight was In progress. AT the door
they met Albert Ryan and Henry Con-
nor, who denied them admission, and
not until they used force did the po-
lice succeed in getting into the house.
Albert Ryan, Henry Conner and Kate
Ray were at Martin Ryan IS home last
night and were drinking and carous-
ing. Shortly after midnight fight
Albert used a knife and Martin was
SO badly cut that the surgeon had to
take twenty-five stitches in his face.
The fight attracted the attention of
the neighbors and the. police were no:
tilted. Sergeant Martin Ginsberg and
P,atrolmen James Irving went to the
place and arrested the four.
In police court this morning Albert
Ryan pleaded guilty to assault and bat
terry and was sentenced to the work
house for sixty days. The woman was
found guilty Of being a vagrant anC
was given thirty-day sentence. Hen
ry Conner pleaded guilty to being
drunk and went to the workhouse fo1
ten days, while Martin Ryan drew {

Her joy was complete when she
learned that it was only 70 cents. The
happy couple then proceeded to pro-
vide themselves with several chairs at
80 cents apiece, with bed and mattress
for $1.25, and with bureau, rug and
washstand at low rates.
They then selected the trousseau.
The bride equipped herself with a hat,
cloak and suit, while the groom was
content with suit, hat and several
shirts and collars.
The happy couple are now installed
on Sixteenth avenue S and are keeping
house in two rooms with their stove,
bed, rugs, chairs and other necessities
of life, the total bill having amounted
to So.
The Salvation Army doors are
crowded every day with unfortunates
who would be unable to help them
selves were it not for it's aid. No
attempt is made to derive a profit from
the store, in fact the cost of running
the hall falls far behind the receipts.
Instead of giving cast-of clothing
away the plan is used of charging few
cents. This allows the recipients to
maintain their self-respect. Seven
large wagons are employed every day
to collect broken furniture, clothing
magazines and papers. The work of
sorting these odds and ends gives EN-
ployment to men while they are wait

STATUS OF DITCH BONDS
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THEY
ARE NOT TO BE COUNTED IN
DETERMINING DEBT LIMIT.

The supreme court today handed
down a decision in the locally famous
courthouse bonds fight which Norman
county has had on it's hands for
long time. The most interesting
feature of the decision is the holding
that ditch bonds are not to be taken
into consideration in determining the
debt limit of a county. There are
many counties in the state which have
issued such bonds.
The action upon which decision is
rendered was brought against the board
of county commissioners by j. o. John
son. The syllabus is as follows:
Action to enjoin the erection Of a court
house and the issuing Of county bonds or
warrants to pay therefor. Held:
First-That in determining the debt
limit of the county ditch bonds are not
to be taken into consideration.
Second-The findings of the trial court

rs STUDYING STRIKES
State Labor Department Is Preparing
an Exhaustive Report.

Minnesota has apparently lost 100
labor organizations within the past
year. At least the report Of Labor
Commissioner O'Donnel shows that
there are only 167 organizations in the
state this year, while the count year
ago was 297. Commissioner O'Donnel
thinks that many of the organizations
have failed to report and that the num-
Der within the state is little, if any,
short of what it was year ago.
The state labor department will CO.
operate with the census bureau at
Washington in January in making a
census of the manufacturing interests
of Minnesota. The national bureau will
have three representative in Minnesota
to take charge of the work.
A careful study of strikes and lock
outs is being made by the state labor
department, and an exhaustive report
will be made about Jan. l.
