Commercial Club Supper

The monthly Commercial
Club supper was held at the
Masonic nall last evening and
was very we'll attended. The
supper served by the ladies of
the Methodist church was an
exceptionally good one as the
we'll secured plates denoted
when the tables were cleared
for the second course. After
all had fully partaken Of the
good things to eat, President
Heath announced that the first
thing to be taken up by the
club was the question of ade-
quate street sprinkling for the
coming year. After discussing
the question from various stand
points and listening to many
suggestions, the President APP
pointed a committee of three to
look after the matter and de-
wise ways and means of getting
better service. Secretary Doty
read q communication from the
Florence Neb. Commercial
Club asking for a date when
they could send a committee up
here to explain the proposition
of the new bridge over the
Missouri at that point. It was
decided to extend them an in.
vitaticn for our next monthly
meeting. After this it was uh
animously decided that each
merchant was to sweep the
street in front of their place of
business each Friday morning
and the city would send wagons
around and pick up all the rub
bish 80 collected.
Several good fellows from
Mondamin and vicinity were in
attendance and they spoke for
the aeroplane which it is desir-
d to manufacture here and
the last speaker was Mr.. Met
calf, the inventor of the ma
chine. He had a small model
which he used in explaining
the principle of the machine
and which gave his listeners a
very good idea of the merits of
the machine o'er those now
being manufactured. The men
we're all impressed with the
| gic of his arguments and no
/ .oubt he will be able to sell
c nsiderable stock here. In all
probability the factory will be
!! built here the first thing in the
8 ,ring, as considerable stock
his already been subscribed.
| With the design of this machine
';t will be impossible to turn
lrtle in the air regardless of
the aviator losing control and
the with the propeller Mr.. Met
cuff has designed a gasoline en-
CINE Of much less power can be
used and the same results OBJ
tanned.

CREED FOR WOMEN

| believe that every woman needs a
skilled occupation developed to the de-
gree of possible self-support.
She needs it commercially, for an
insurance against reverses.
She needs it socially, for compre-
hending sympathy with the worlds
workers.
She needs it intellectually, for con-
structive habit of mind which makes
knowledge effective.
She needs it officially, for a cour-
ageous willingness to do her share of
the worlds work.
/ believe that every young woman
should practice this skilled occupation,
up to the time of her marriage, for
gainful ends with deliberate intent to
acquire therefrom the widest possible
professional and financial experience
I believe that every woman should
expect marriage to interrupt for some
years the pursuit of any regular gain
full occupation; that she should prear-
range with her husband some equit-
able division of the family income,
such as will insure her position in a
partnership, rather than one of de-
pendence; and that she should focus
her chief thought during the early
youth of her children upon the science
and art of wise family life
/ believe that every woman should
hope to return, in the second leisure
of middle age, to some application of
her early skilled occupation either as
unsalaried worker in some one of its
social phases; or, if income be an OBJ
ject, as a salaried worker in a phase
of it requiring maturity and social ex-
perience-American Magazine.

IN PRISON OF SILENCE

Entombed in grim castle on the
outskirts of Lisbon are some of the
most miserable men on earth. These
are inmates of Portugal's "prison of
silence" In this building everything
that human ingenuity can suggest to
render the lives of it's prisoners hor-
rible, maddening torture is DONE The
corridors, piled tier on tier five stor-
les high, extend from common CEN
ter like the spokes of huge wheel.
The cells are narrow, tomb-like, and
within each stands a coffin, says an
exchange. The attendants creep a.
bout in felt slippers. No one is al
lowed to utter a word. The silence
is that of the grave. Once a day the
cell doors are unlocked, and the 500
wretches march out, clothed in shrouds
and with faces covered by masks, for
it is part of the hideous punishment
that none may look upon the counter
ance of his fellow prisoners. Few of
them endure this torture for more
than 10 years.

DRIVEN TO SUICIDE
Thirst Maddens Man Who Gets Re-

self

A clerk for the West Shore Rail-
road in Weehawken was checking up
cars in the yards there last week
when he noticed blood oozing from
the closed door of box car that had
just arrived from Homestead, Pa. He
had the door opened and found, lean
ing against it, the body of man with
a bullet hole in the temple.
The car was empty and had come
so from Homestead. It was five days
in transit and the theory of the police
is that the man got inside to steal a
ride, was locked in and finally, crazed
by hunger and thirst and hopeless of
release, killed himself. He apparent
ly did not know that the train was SO
near it's destination. Physicians said
he had been dead only a few hours.
There was only a small sum of
money in his clothing, but he looked
prosperous. He was well dressed and
wore silk underclothing. His tailored
suit was labeled Wagner, 315-317
Eighth avenue, Homestead" The un-
derwear was marked STANLEY Y"
Nothing else was found to suggest
identity except letterheads of the
Carnegie Steel Company in Home
stead. One police theory was that
the man might have been put in the
car as a joke and accidentally locked
in.
He was about AZ years old and 5
feet, 8 inches tall. kilograms were
sent to Homestead, but nothing was
heard from there to tell who he was.
Near the body was a revolver with
two chambers discharged.
