MRS. O'NEAL DIED
t
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Local Secretary Concludes Trans
action this Morning.
W. W. Windham reports this morn
ing of receiving a draft for one thous
and dollars for the payment of the
insurance on the life of Mrs. Lafayette
O'Neal, formerly of thes place and n
member of the local lodge of the
Knights and Ladies of Security.
Mrs. O'Neal died some two months
since at her later home in O'Neal, S.
1). But for the distance and the time
consumed in making the proof of death
the payment would have been made
sooner. The Knights and Ladies of
Security are thriving in this place
as well as elsewhere the country over.
ibis progress and growth is the re
sult of the admirable system of insur
ance, and the fair treatment which
they pursue.

in this morning on the Burlington

morning and then departed for Omaha
and Council Bluffs where he will visit
over the holidavs at the home of his
daughter.
Money for Work
on River
IT IS A PRETTY
COLD PROPOSITION
McMacken A Sons Up Against
the Real Thing.
This morning a number of the teams
of the ice haulers who have been doing
the ice harvesting at the river in front
of the Burlington station, stopped
work in an endeavor to force the rc-
iiest for an additional nickle jht
oad for the ice that is being hauled
from the river.
The price which has been paid no
far is JW cents per load, and those
who have been doing the work thought
they should have 40 cents and ho made
cinand of McMacken ions, which
was refused. Thereupon they stopped
to the number of about ten, leaving
some five or six teams still hauling.
What the outcome of the trouble
will be we do not know at this time.
A number of people are hauling ice
for themselves and for neighbors who
are storing ice for private purposes.
We hpope that the disagreement may
be amicably adjusted in the near fu
ture, ami that the harvesting of the
crystal coolness may continue.
The i e which is being obtained at
the present is of a very fine quality,
and of good thickness.

Arrived From Oklahoma.
Miss Lizzie Kuhney arrived Sunday

where he established himself in the
barber business, and where the fam
ily will reside as soon as a house can
be obtained to live in.
Miss Lizzie is visiting at the home
H. II. Kuhney, and with friends in
the city at present.
Had a Run For It.
The Misses Jessie and Mane Rob
ertson and Mrytle Leyda were passen
gers to Omaha this morning, and judg
ing from the fact that the tram has
recently been late, they were in no
hurry to get to the station. The train
arrived nearly on time and caused
them to make a stunted sprint in
order not to get left. They won out
and we judge will have a nice visit
in the metropolis.
Couldn't Get Ice.
Charles II. Warner was in the city
yesterday morning, c ing with the
expectation of hauling ice home, but
was unable to gi t any on account of
the rise of the water in the river.
Makes a Fine Display.
The windows at the Herold Sta
tionery Store are a wonder for the
amount of goods which they contain,
and the attractiveness with which
the goods are displayed. The suggestion-of
the windows is "come, in
and see something better." When
the invitation is accepted one is not
disappointed, for the display on the
inside is even greater than on the out-
side. Go around and take a look at
the nice and useful things which his
stock suggests for Christinas presents.
