Friends of Mr. Buckingham, and practically every man In Omaha was his friend, were stunned Friday night at the news of his death. Born in Indians. Everett Buckingham was born at Lebanon, Ind., in 1856, and moved — with his parents to Missouri shortly ■ afterward. His father, George Buck s' Ingham, was a newspaper man. HP-“"'Everett was 11 when the family f m .veil to St. Joseph, anil he took a l job there as messenger boy in the of I $1,000,000 Livestock Building May Bear Marne of Buckingham The name of Everett Bucking | ham may become a concrete gym * [ml as well as a tradition in the South Omaha livestock market. Movement was on font Saturday 1 to name the new SI,000,000 Live stock Exchange building, now in course of construction, the Buck ingham Memorial building. The new building was one of Mr. Buckingha m's long cherished dreams, and he was instrumental in making its construction possible. Friends of Mr. Buckingham Sat urday looked upon it as the irony of fate which cut short his life just one year too soon for him to witness t lie fulfillment of his dream. v __V fiee of the St. Joseph & Denver rail road, afterward the St. Joseph & Grand Island, at a week. Ho came to Omaha in 1880 and was with tho Union Pacific railroad I from then till April 1, 1!I04, when he went to Salt Rake City to become general superintendent of the Oregon Short Rlne. Honors Were Numerous, iln November, iOOT, he was made fpjicral manager of the Union Stock Wrds company, of which he was 'president at the time of his death. The company has made a remarkable advance during the time he has been its manager. It is now erecting a $1,000,000 building and has a large surplus. Besides being president of this great corporation, he was a director of the Stockyards National bank, member of the Greater Omaha, AJv Sar-Ben governor and past president of the board of governors and former president of the Ak-Sar-Ben Exposi tion company and has held numerous other business and civic honors. He was general chairman of the American Region national convention in Omaha, a member of the Oreatei Omaha committee and a former men mnnlty Chest. her of the executive committee of the chamber of Commerce.

Ho was one of the active workers of the Elks, belonged to the Omaha and Ukonw Country clubs. , Distinguished Appearance. "Buck,” ns he was familiarly called , known all over the west. No stockmen'a or merchants or booster train sent out from Omaha was com plete without him. Of portly figure, handsome face and with white hair and whit# mustache his appearance was striking graceful and distinguished. His manner was ”'.o less. "Buck” was one of Hie most likeable of men and a "mixer” who „mde ills way pleasantly with presl dents of banks and railroads ns natur ally as with the fur-coated nnd over ailed stockmen. lie made a reputation for himself • s general superintendent of the Ore Eon Short ,1.1ns. K. H. Harriman, president of the Union PacUlo and Southern Pacific, the former owning the Oregon Short Line, conceived the idea of dividing his great transconti nontal system for operating purposes on an equal mileage basis, “Buckingham Special.” This left to Buckingham the job of operating the Union Pacific from Green River to Ogden; the Oregon Short Line from Granger to Hunting ton and from Salt Lake to Butte, Mont; and the Southern Pacific from Salt I,ake to Sparks, Nev. Added to the great task of keeping the wheels turning over these long stretches of sparsely-settled and mountain and desert territory, was the difficulty of getting men to do the work. He scoured the country for men and when a load of new em ployes was seen speeding toward Salt Lake they called it a "Buckingham Special.” \\\ Honor to His Name V> \ From every side, wherever men gathered in Omaha today, rame com ment not only on the death, but on the life of Everett Buckingham.

Fremont Cobbler Earns Free Trip to Homeland in Denmark by Contest Secures 19 New Members to Danish Brotherhood of America; Sails in June. Fremont, Neb., Feb. 28.—Eighteen years ago Hans 1*. Eudvigsen, 41, Fremont cobbler, arrived in this country with his wife and 16 months old daughter, practically penniless. Today he is making plans to enjoy a free trip to his homeland, an award that comes in recognition of his work in a national membership cam paign conducted by the Danish Brotherhood of America. Eudvigsen's father was a stone cutter in Denmark, but when he be came large enough to help support the family he hired out to a cobbler, a trade that offered greater possibili ties. He worked hard and long and soon mastered the art well enough to permit his marriage.

Today he has the best equipped shop in Fre mont and has little to worry about when he leaves his place In the hands of others when he goes hack to Den- j mark to visit his father, brothers and sisters in that country. Eudvigsen has been active in the local Danish Brotherhood lodge fori 'Hans f*. many years, holding various offices, including the post of president. Some time ago the national lodge an nounced a membership drive to last for 13 months, open both to members and lodges. Ludvigsen actually won second prize among member contestants, al though one lodge took second prize as they were offered. Asked the secret of Ids success in his drive for members, Ludvigsen sn id: “I never left a prospect until I had his name on fehe doted line. But 1 was always careful not to offend whether he signed at the moment or not.'* Secured Forty-nine Members. Tn 12 months Ludvigsen secured 17 new members. In the remaining month, in a concerted drive, he added 32 more, a total of 43. He leaves Omaha for New York June fi, where he will join a party sailing for Copenhagen. Eleven weeks will he spent en route and visiting the 'homeland. Ludvigsen is looking forward to a personal meet ing with King Constantine, who is to welcome the American visitors hark to Denmark.
