One sister saves Something.

BY some good chance, u number of the
local reception committee went to the sta
ton half hour early, and taking in the
situation without offering any greetings,
rushed to telephone and notified a few of
the officers OF the local union and the
Woman's club that the train was in.
Within fifteen minutes four of the recep-
ton committee had arrived but Mrs. Ade-
laid Rood, president of the local union, who
was to present the roses and who had them
with her, could not be found.
Presently, while the committee was busy
explaining to the delegates what had been
planned for them, a huge bunch of AmeTi-
can Beauty roses was seen far up the plat
form and Mrs. Rood hurried forward. Mrs.
Stevens, to whom the flowers were to be
presented, had not yet been located, and,
climbing aboard the train, the committee
started through to find her. AS they came
into the tenth coach they were told that
Mrs Stevens had gotten off and walked to
the head OF the train. Hastily climbing off,
they started back up the platform now al
most at a run, for the time was short.
Passing two modest looking women, one
OF the committee announced in response to
their looks OF inquiry at the flowers, that
they were hunting Mrs. Stevens and then
, rushed on.
why, this is Mrs Stevens" called one
of the women who proved to be Miss Anna
Gordon, the vice president, indicating her
companion.

Ribbon Special" will probably never know
except in vague sort of way, just how
much Importance was attached to their
coming by the local Womens Christian
Temperance Union and club women, nor of
the very complimentary attention that they
had planned TO pay them.
The reception at the Burlington station
planned by the local women came of all
right, but not just as scheduled. Informed
by the local Burlington office that the train
would arrive In Omaha promptly at 235
and depart just as soon as an extra coach
could be attached, the women had planned
to go to the station in a body and present
a bunch of roses to Mrs. Lillian NJ. n.
Stevens. the national president, and greet
ing and a Godspeed to the delegation. In
stead Of arriving as reported. the first
section OF the train came in at AS and the
second section fifteen minutes later and for
more than a half hour something over 500
white ribboners thronged the platform
while hundred or so others went for a
walk over the viaduct and up Tenth street.

Since his departure for the
Pacific coast, no action has been
taken by him to make payment
for the lands which he held op-
tions upon, although he promised
faithfully to return by Jan. 1, and
those from whom the purchases
were intended are anxiously
awaiting some information as to
what will be the next move. Some
OF the options have already ex-
pired and as a result he will lose
a considerable amount of money
which he paid out for the priv
leges.
Some doubt is expressed as to
practicability of the colonization
scheme and it is said that the
idea has been abandoned. It is
thought that upon Mr.. Hines re-
turn from the west that matter
will be cleared up.

HOSPITALS USE
VICIOUS PLANS
DR.. Bracken of State Health
Board Opposes Tickets
for Medical Aid.

DR.. H. M. Bracken, secretary
Of the state board of health,
brands as vicious the method OF
selling tickets of admittance to
patients in vogue at certain hos
pitfalls. He says:
"The practice of selling tickets
to hospital patients needs revis-
ion. The tickets state that medi.
cal treatment will not be given
when the disease is of contag-
ious nature. The intent, ofcourse,
is to protect the hospital from
the dangers attending contagious
diseases. In practice. however,
the custom is vicious. If a man
holding a hospital ticket is taken
i'll, he naturally starts for the
hospital upon which he holds a
ticket. He may have no knowl-
edge of the nature of his illness.
He may stop at various cam ps or
villages on his way; he may even
travel by train while suffering
from smallpox, scarlet fever or
diphtheria and thus expose many
people.
CAS- matter Of fact the sell
ing Of hospital tickets to men
should be unqualifedly con
demned. It is the employer who
should make provision for his en-
ployes. He could do so by de-
Quoting small amount weekly or
monthly from their wages and
provide medical care for en-
ployes at the nearest possible
point to fireplace ofemploy ment. =

ing rates, special trains, etc.,
into their own hands and have
absolute charge of all transac-
tions intended for the benefit of
the city with regard to the excur-
sion business.
"The plan has been tried sue
cessfully in several cities the size
of Bemidji where the natural ad-
vantages are much inferior. Take
Detroit, MIMI, for instance. A
com mittee of three handle all the
excursions and make it their sole
duty to look after securing visi-
tors to the city, and every week
two special trains are run from
Fargo, Moorhead and other
points west bringing thousands
of people. Located as Bemidi il is,
on two railways, Grand Forks,
Crookston, Devils Lake and Lang
don on the west, st. Cloud, Mel
rose, Sank Center, Wadena,
Brainerd and Walker on the
south, and Grand Rapids, Cass
Lake and other points east would
contribute large crowds.
'Action in the matter should
be taken at once and a committee
appointed to interview the pas
senger agents of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern rail-
ways before their excursion

are completed.''

MONTGOMERY WAS CAUGHT.
Man From New Orleans Jumped from
 Train at TuscalOosa.

The State quarantine officers are rigidly enforcing the laws of the quar- antine against persons who attempt to stop in the State after being in the prescribed yellow fever district within the past five days.
 Henry Morgan, alias G. B. Montgom- sery. who admitted that he had come from New Orleans, escaped from an Alabama Great Southern train at Tus- caloosa Tuesday night when he was warned by the conductor of the train that I.e would not be allowed to stop at Opelika. his destination. The quar- antine officer on the train made d search for the suspect after the train left Tuscaloosa, but found that he had escaped. The officer immediately sent word to Birmingham, giving a descrip- tion of the man who had eluded him and duplicate message was sent to the Montgomery officers.
 Believing that the man was in the neighborhood of Tuscaloosa. State Quarantine Officer H. K. Watts was sent to Tuscaloosa Wednesday morning and after a search of the passengers on the train which arrived over the Mobile and Ohio Railroad "Wednesday night was convinced that Montgomery was the man for whom he was looking and arrested him. When the train reached the city, the prisoner was transferred to a Central Railroad of Georgia train and sent by way of Flu faula across the State line into Georgia. Though guilty of violating the quaran- tine laws of Alabama. Montgomery could not be held in the State as tho retention of the prisoner would likewise be A violation.

 VIII Agree te. . ComDro-

Secretary of State E. R. McDavid. in company with Dr. Thomas M. Owen, secretary of the Capitol Building Com mission, and Architect B. B. Smith, of Montgomery, spent a few hours yester- terday inspecting the interior and ex- terior of the capitol with view of securing specifications for the painting of the entire exterior of the structure and for incidental repairs. Secretary McDavid said that he had decided, after being given full authority by the Com mission Wednesday, to retain an archi- tect for the purpose of getting the necessary specifications before letting the work.
 The specifications drawn. Mir. Mo- David will advertise for bids for the painting job and the award will be made in the usual manner. The ex- terior will be succeed throughout and it is intended that as far as the view. from the outside is concerned the capi- tol shall look as fresh and new as 1t has ever done. It will be necessary, of course, during the stucco work to have carpenter repair work done and this will be done in connection with the paint work.
 In fully as short a time Hon. J. Kirk Jackson. private secretary of the Gov ernor and ex -officio keeper of the capi- tol ,who was Wednesday directed to oversee the roofing of the capitol. ex- poets to have his work done.
 It was learned yesterday that within a week the commission proper. com posed of the. five executive officers or the State government. will know whether the Supreme Court Justices will recede from their selection of the two-story plans for north and south wings to the capitol. There Is still hope that there will be compromise between the members of the Supreme Court and the Commissioners which will result in the erection of three story wing connecting with the south end of the building. It Is understood that the Commissioners propose to avail themselves of every chance to prevent the execution of the two-story plans adopted in the early part of the month They are to cling to the three-story idea which harmonizes with the exist ing structure.
 If the Commission is definitely con vinced of a concession from the Justices which will guarantee the three-story plan, 1t Is understood that an early meeting of the Commission will be call ed in order to arrange for letting of the contract. It is expected that these developments will appear before November when the members of the court return to the bench in this city.
