The different chairmen met Sunday
afternoon in the Elks' club rooms and
laid out the work before them. A petit
ton was drawn mp Saturday night, of
which eighteen copies were made and
early Sunday morning these were dis
tributed by Mayor Duncan to the pas
tors OF as many churches, and were
read at the morning services. These
petitions resulted in the members of
each church contributing a large
amount, which was turned over TO the
city treasurer.
Blanks for signatures were also post
/ ed in all the barber shops, drug stores,
ETC., and resulted in raising more funds.
The general soliciting committee has
been very successful in raising money,
and the whole will be turned over to
the executive committee this evening,
at the Elks' club rooms, to be forwarded
either to the mayor of San Francisco or
to the Red Cross society.
The following message to the people
of Wausau explains itself:
TAKE NOTICE.
The Elks' lodge rendered to the city
authorities the services of its committee
to look after obtaining and forwarding
contributions other than money.
AT the meeting of the common coun-
Gil, April 21st, this offer was accepted,
and the undersigned committee APP
proved for that purpose, we therefore,
by authority of, and accountable to, the
city officials make this appeal
Many cannot give money, but can
give merchandise. The usefulness of
such gifts is manifest Many destitute
persons will be found there, whose
temporary needs will be satisfied by the
cash contributions. But they must
start life anew. Gifts of old clothes,
bedding, and the like will help fill a
want, not likely to be reached by the
ordinary channels. Workmen will
need old suits to labor in; women and
children will be found with only what
was left on their backs. Families will
be found where the bread winners have
persisted. To many such, any aid will
be acceptable.
THEREFORE, TAKE NOTICE, the Elk
lodge rooms will be open from p m
to 6 p. m. every day until and including
May 1st, to receive such contributions.
If you cannot send goods there, tele-
phone those rooms (Tel. No. 143D be-
tween those hours and the goods will
be called for Especial emphasis is laid
upon old clothing, for Doth male and
female, old and young, and upon mat
tresses, pillows, blankets, sheets and
the like, but all other merchandise
which you may think useful, will be
gratefully received.
The railroad carries them free. Con-
tribute early so we may plan according
