The Number Of BreadwInnlne Women
Increasing Rapidly.

The department Of commerce and
labor has just issued special report
on women workers In the United

The report under this head says:

creasing. At the census Of 1880 the
number Of women sixteen years of age
and over reported as having gainful
occupation was ., 3JS.9SS; in 1900 1t was
4.S33.G30, an increase of 2,479.642, or
1858 per cent, In other words, the
number Of women at work more than
doubled In this interval Of twenty
years. OF course the Increase was in
part the result Of the growth Of popu-
latlon. But this accounts for not much
more than one-half of the total in
crease, and 1t is probable that there

Fatal Case of Appendicitis.

Viola, the daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. James II Law was
taken sick Sunday with appendi-
citis. Drs. Babcock and Cook
were called, but the case would
not yield to treatment, and on
Tuesday it was decided that
there were no hopes save through
an operation. The patient was
taken to Denver Tuesday on the
afternoon train, accompanied by
her mother and sister, Elma,
and DR.. Babcock.
Upon arrival at the hospital in
Denver it was decided by the
doctors not to attempt an opera
ton, only a small incision being
made to afford relief to the suf'
ferer.
The remains were embalmed
and brought home Wednesday
evening. The funeral services
we're conducted Thursday after
noon by Rev. Giller at the M. E.
church.
Mr.. Styer had charge OF the
funeral. Joe Frederick, Ray
Johnson, Will Labaree, Jerry
Twomey, Jud Walrath and Lloyd
Jenkins were pail bearers. Mil
dred Thunderstorm, Edna Slus-
ser, Marie Clayton and Madge
McNew were flower girls.
The floral offerings by school
mates and friends of the family
were many and most beautiful,
the church being banked with
flowers and plants, being in ac'
cord with the young life just
gone out.
Viola was born in Deuel. county
and would have been Is years
old the day of her funeral. AL
ways we'll and so full of life, il
seems extremely sad her taking
away. After the intense suffer
ing before and during the trip
nature seemed to be kind and
for an hour or more before deatt
there was no pain, and she talked
with the friends about her, ano

The Gliddenites Will Be At
Julesburg Friday Night.

The Gliddenites will be at
Jules5urg Friday night.
From the present indications
the Gliddenites will be here Fri
day night.
The Omaha Bee OF Wednesday
evening, is responsible for the
following:
There are only two bath tubs
in town. y
This is the answer the mana
gers OF the Glidden tour got to
request that shower baths be
provided for the tourists at
Julesburg, where stop will be
made Friday night.
Can't you rig a shower bath
for them under the water tank?"
was the next question which was
put up to the Union Pacific agent
at Julesburg.
THE river is not very far
away" came back the answer.
The Glidden tourists will not
be accommodated with shower
baths at .Julesburg Friday night
Chicago, always inhospitable
TO Gliddenites, sustained it's un-
enviable reputation earned in
1907, again this year. The Chi
cago Automobile club, as usual,
paid absolutely no attention to
the participants in the Glidden
cavalcade. The Chicago Motor
club, a younger organization, did
what it could in it's small way to
provide entertainment, which
was highly appreciated. The
tourists will always cherish a
high regard for the city Of Min
neapolis and the members of the
Minneapolis Automobile club.
Never before in the history of
Glidden tours have the tourists
been entertained as lavishly as
they were in the Mill City. Boat
rides on the beautiful lakes, ban
quets at the club houses and,
above hearty welcome that
will never be forgotten. Denver
has raised many thousands of
dollars to entertain the tourists,
but it is doub tful if Minneapolis
will be surpassed.
Owing to the fact that the tour
lists cannot find hotel accommO-
dations between Omaha and Den
YER, and between Denver and
Kansas City, a regular train OF
Pullman sleeping and dining cars
has been secured which will
meet the travellers each night.
The equipment consists of seven
cars, four sleepers, two dining
cars, and the private car used 10y
the chairman and his staff. Many
of the tourists failed to secure
accom- modations on the train,
l. and will camp out in the cars,
which will be parked alongside
the train at the night stops.
