The exercises were very inter-

by Mrs. NJ. L. Jones appeale d
with special interest to all the
hearers. We regret lack Of space
to give il entire, but give follow
ing excerpts.
The first leader of the Kings
Daughters and Sons dropped the
seed thought for the home into the
heart of another and there it nour.
ished until it grew into a hope,
and later, a purpose. On Oct. 6,
1897, articles of association were
drawn up, a charter procured and
a Board of Directors chosen. The
work was presented to the State
organization which held its second
Annual Convention in Mexico in
Nov, 1898. July u, 1898, the
site for the building was pur-
chased. A large sign was placed
on the ground saying, THE Old
Ladies Home will be Built Here in
1900" However, quiet prevailed
till 1902. We were showing so
little progress that some enter
prising wag had added three huge
interrogation points to the sign
which stood on the building site.
"By spring we had decided upon
the plans for the present building,
but the question of undertaking to
build at a cost of $4,000, with
only one-third of the money on
hand, was perplexing. However,
with trust in our King, we re-
sOlved-clOsed contract with II.
II. Meyer. The first payment was
made when the basement was put
in and SO, 500 when building was
inclosed.
TN the latter part of November
the Board of Directors suffered the
loss of VIM. Harper, whom our
King called to reign with Him.
His deep interest in our Home
was evident in financial help, and
good wholesome advice, and his
loss was greatly felt.

REPUBLICANS IN COMMITTEE
Friendly Controversy over Positions
Expected at Meeting of the
County Organization,

more or less friendly controversy in the
republican county committee is billed for
the meeting Saturday afternoon over a
proposal to rescind the resolution adopted
last week requiring the officers of the body
and the members of the executive commit
tee to be members of the county committee.
This rule has caused dissatisfaction with
certain ambitious aspirants, first with ref
erence to secretary and second as to the
personnel of the executive committee. The
recommendation of a secretary, treasurer
and executive committee was left to Chair
man Gibson and the candidates, subject 10
the approval of the entire committee.
Hand in hand with these vexed questions
Is one to enlarge the executive committee
to fourteen members, so as to provide rem
resentation from every Omaha ward one
from South Omaha and one from the coun-
try. This will probably go through with
out opposition.
For secretary c. w. Britt and f. H.
Westerfield OF Dundee have appeared as
candidates among the members of the COM
mittee. If that officer is chosen from out
side the selection is said to be between M.
j. GreeVy and Dave Christie.
Arrangements will be made to open head
quarters and to prosecute an active cam
paign.
