The refugee trains carried their quota of
sick and wounded. II was necessary to es-
tablish a hospital tent in charge of County
Physician Swoboda, the Visiting Nurses as

dren were born on the trains and not few
OF the survivors had cut and crushed feet,
wounds of other kinds and many had fallen
sick from exposure and nervous excite

needed AFFAIR and its occupants found plenty
TO do. Cots and resting places were pro-
vided and the right kind of aid admins
tered.
Another need that forced itself upon
Mayor zimman. who was the active leader
in caring for the refugees, was that OF
women and children for clothing. AS
soon as this condition became apparent
quantities OF garments were sent from the
stores at the city hall. This enabled many
of the women and children to change
filthy and ragged clothing for better APP
parel. The city hall relief depot. also,
had'a considerable amount of home canned
fruits, jellies, ETC., and some of these were
sent to the hospital tent to be given to
travellers not able to eat the heavier foods.

tachment numbered. Part of the waiting
throng was there to assist in feeding the
strangers, but fully half were mere on
lockers. They testified to the interest
which omahans in common with the rest
of the country, had in the Pacific coast
horror. At every opportunity omahans
chatted with the homeless troops and asked
them many questions. The conversations
at times were deceptive and an onlooker
might have got his San Franciscans con-
fused with his Omahans. Not a few Of
the latter appeared to be able to spin
better descriptive narrative OF the dreadful
nights and days than those who had
actually experienced the terror and misery.
Most of the refugees doubted that San
Francisco would ever rise again; every
Omahan was sure the town would be built
grander than ever before. All Of which,
It is presumed, went to show that the
local folk study the newspapers.

Hold on Purse

For the third time in her life Mrs
cigarette worker and wife of DR.. b. M.
Lawrence has foiled highwayman.
Mrs. Lawrence was on Los Angeles
street, near FIRST, when she was ap-
preached by a hold-up man.
The man was lounging on a street
corner and undoubtedly saw Mr.. Law
renee in conversation with a supporter
of her cause. The woman received a
SO donation from her friend. The high
wayman followed Mrs. Lawrence, and
when near First street he stepped up
to the woman and struck her stinging
blow between the eyes. The blow
stunned her, but she held tightly to
her purse, which the man attempted to
grab.
Bystanders came to Mrs. Lawrences
assistance and caught her as she was
falling to the sidewalk from the effects
of the blow. The thief broke away
from several men and escaped.
Mrs. Lawrence was so stunned and
the man acted so quickly that she was
unable to furnish the police a descrip-
tion of her assailant.

Mrs. Lawrence was assisted to the
detention home, where she was cared
for by Mrs. Pratt. She recovered from

avoidable struggle your representatives
VIII be with you"
Until the last moment IL seemed that
the desire for unanimous adoption of
the manifesto would be wrecked. There
were sharp differences between the
Constitutional Democrats and the
revolutionists, the latter wishing to
proclaim the house In perpetual ses-
sion and abrogate the allegiance to the
people, while the Constitutional Demo-
Gratis favored the declaration of the
pacific general strike without resort to
revolutionary measures as n protest
against the emperor's dissolution Of
parliament.
Address Is Adopted
The psychological moment which
changed the minds of the moderates
was the arrival of Gov. Rechenberg
with the curt command to disperse or
take the consequences, when even the
more conservative of the Constitutional
Democrats, such as M. Petraiavitsky
and Prof. Hertzehsteih, who had made
speeches in favor of moderation
struck hands with the radicals and the
whole assembly foreswore amendment
and debate and adopted the foregoing
address.
The Socialists on their part withdrew
the proviso that the house constitute
itself a constituent assembly and COM
promised on the election of a perma-
nent executive committee. With the
exception of Count Heyden and the
Polish Democrats, every member signed
the address, the Polish delegates stat
ing that they had no credentials to ad-
wise the Polish nation as to future tao
tics and that they cannot participate
in directing the Russian people, but
that all their sympathies were on the
side of Russian revolution.
Immediately after the announcement
of Gov. Rechenberg that the meeting of
of parliament must disperse
a detachment of infantry was marched
past the Hotel Belvidere to give en-
phasis to the threat to employ troops to
enforce the order of dispersal.
1t is reported that arrangements have
been made at St. Petersburg to greet
the deputies on their arrival there
with a formidable demonstration in
their favor, and that general strike
may be declared, but on these points
the utmost secrecy is maintained.
