Pictures uf thn Departed.
For a number of years It has been an
nnual custom of the Benevolent Protective
Order of Klks throughout the United States
to gather obout the altars of their lodges ,
nnd , with solemn and Impressive ceremonies ,
pay tribute to the dead and gone members of
the order. This day for years has been the
first Sunday In December and yesterday the
brethren of Omaha lodge No. 39 gathered
together In their annual lodge of sorrow tc
Iny flowers and beautiful thoughts upon the
graves of those Who have passed out beyond
the bar.
The lodge room was a bower of smllax and
palms , the emblems of the order were draped
In green , the beautiful bronze elk was en
twined with garlands of smllax , while the
pictures of the dead members , William B ,
Alexander , John F. Boyd , Willis P. Clarke
Colonel James M. Eddy , Dwlght W.'Hull ,
Colonel E. D. Webster , Captain A. D ,
Ilalncs , William L. Harding , Charles Me-
Cormlck , Charles I * . Needham , Zacharlo
Thomason and Phillip A. Warrlck , wen
druped with the tendrils of love. Nothlnf
could have been more appropriate to the
occasion than these decorations , being well
considered and artistically arranged around
the cosy homo of the Klks In Omaha.
ALL. HAD A TIUIIUTE.
The room was filled with the members ol
the order , o largo sprinkling of lady friend !
contributing to the Interest In the occasion
which has become one of deep thought tc
the rank and fllo of the brotherhood whlcl
strives to emulate the words of Will of Avon
"Ho hath a tcnr of pity nnd a hnnd
Open ns day for melting charity. "
At 3 o'clock the lodge entered In a body
preceded by Past Exalted Iluler George I1
Cronk , nev. S. Wright Hutler and Rev. T. J
Mackay , those upon whom the brunt of th
exerclscB of the day would fall.
Exalted Iluler Cronk , In a few well chose :
words , told of the objects of the gathering
Its deep significance to those left behind t
mourn the absent ones. Then the Elks quar
tet , A. J. Van Kuran , E. B. Treat , W. S
McCuno and J. P. Barton , sang "Forsaken,1
by Koschat , a beautifully worded and worth ;
composition to be sung on such a day. 1
was sung , too , with deep feeling , musical li
every sense. Mr. Jules Lumbard follcnvei
the quartet by singing "Light In Darkness , '
by Horatio C. King , an old friend of th
soloist's , and a composition suited splendid ) ;
to the singer's rich bass , Mr. Lumbard beln ,
In splendid form to do his friend and com
poser honor.
The lodge of sorrow was then formall ;
opened , the exalted ruler calling upon th
officers In turn to respond to sentiments li
keeping with the solemnity of the meeting.
riov. Dr. S. Wright Butler , In offeringth
blessing upon those gathered In annual ses
Blon In memory of the dead , spoke feellngl ;
of the lowly vale through which the absen
ones had passed. He prayed for a fuller un
derstandlng of Qed , a stronger appreclatlo
of the love which passeth comprehension.
"Sancta Maria" was then rendered by Mi
W. S. McCuno In a manner that left llttl
to bo desired , his rich , sympathetic barlton
being particularly adapted to the rendition c
Faura's Immortal tone poem.
NEAH TO THE DEAD.
Rev. Dr. Butler , In speaking of the eulog
of the occasion'began Ills' short discourse b
quoting ftom the scripture that pcrtlo
wherein It says that'Jt Is fitting to go to th
house of sorrow. He then developed hi
thought by telling something of the life c
Jesus , Who , he said , had inaugurate
the first lodge of sorrow on the earth. H
drew a strong picture between ( he elks (
the forest and the human Elks gathered I
sorrow about the open grave , and , as Jest
remarked once how much better
roan waa than a sheep , ho could only reca
how much better these human Elks wei
than those from which the order derives 11
inspiration. He spoke of the nead with wel
considered phrase , paid a high tribute to the
manhood , their sterling qualities , and sale
"They loved as you love and I love ; the
loved the ecstacy of existence ; they ha\
been absent from the lodge rcom , froi
you , from their homes for years. We ow
it to them therefore ) to bring them back I
this lodge room In memory nnd live wll
them again In sweet sympathy. The yeai
that you have been without them have bee
leading you toward them. When we aha
reach the portiere of filmy lace thi
an Infant's hand can part wo ought to r
member that It is not so hard to pass b
yond. "
"I Cannot Always Trace the Way , " mus
by Dow , was sung by the quartet and was
fitting postlude to Mr. Butler's eulogy , whlc
was filled with beautiful word pictures th :
attracted and held the audience throughoi
the ten minutes of his talk.
In the absence of E. M. Bartlett , on accom
of serious Illness , Mr. Strickland read M
llartlett's general eulogy , which was couchi
in splendid words , thoughtful and complete.
"Consolation , " by Howard M. Dow , seemc
particularly appropriate , and was sung I
the quartet with muslclanly effect , the vole
blending splendidly ; particularly with tl
basses was this apparent. In fact , the woi
of the quartet was highly satisfactory , ai
the Elks have reason to be proud of the boy
for they stand among the best quartets
the west.
LIKE A WHITE STONE.
Rev. T. J. Mackay , In responding to tl
call of the exalted ruler to say somcthln
began hla talk with reference to the panthei
and the old customs the Romans had
setting up their heroes In fitting places , ai
on certain occasions gathering about the ma
ble effigies to pay tribute to their bra1
deeds. "You who are stunned by the lei
clamor of the world come to this room to II
ten to the voices of your dcad'brothei
Tlieso thoughts are called dream though !
but they ore much more ; they are the dea
est thoughts- the world. These days a
like the white stones set up In the ancle
days , by the Jews to commemorate great occ
slons. Tills day , then , Is a white stone
your Ijycs , and should be so. You are n
mortal , you are not material , for there Is
Father above and over you , and I wish i
could ( jet the men of Omaha to realize th
May Qed grant that the echo of this d
come back to us from the other land ,
la these sorrowful moments that are t
sweetest things of life. Until sorrow ente
your llfo you do not know how to live. G
grant that you may realize- the eternal fat
erhood beyond the stars. "
Following Mr. Mackay's eulogy , whl
seemed to come from the heart , the olllce
and members were railed up. The exalt
ruler called upon the officers to testify
charity and brotherly love had been show
nnd then , after proper answers , the "dox
ogy" was Hung , and Mr. Mackay pronounc
the benediction , closing the annual lodge
porrow of Omaha's lodge of Elks In d
form as the ritual has It , The success
the meeting was largely due to the coi
mlttee on memorial service , which was coi
posed of George P. Cronk , chairman ; Char

FIRE AT THE CUDAIIY PLANT
Boxing Building with Stock and Machinery
Badly Damaged Yesterday ,
INSURANCE COVERS THE WHOLE LOSS
Officers Arrlvo Too Late to Catch Grocery
Store llurglnrn South Omaha Social
Events Other NOTTS from the
Magic City.
There was another extensive fire In South
Omaha yesterday. It started In the boxing
building at the Cudahy packing plant , and ,
after a stubborn fight on the part ot the fire
men for three hours , was gotten under con
trol.
trol.Some
Some of the men were at work In ths build
ing yesterday. As they entered the building
fire was discovered In the nail room. There
had bscn no fire anywhere near this partlc'
ular portion of the structure and the origin
of the blaze Is quite a mystery. The b'oxlng
building Is the house In which all ot the
boxes used by the company are made. Al
though a one-story structure , it Is very large
nnd Is nil the time packed with boxes and
boxing material. There Is also considerable
machinery used In this department. Within
n few seconds from "the time the first blaze
was seen the flames shot from one section tc
another until the whole interior was full ol
fire. The lumber was dry nnd everything Ir
the place burned rapidly. An alarm was sen !
In and the South Omaha paid firemen wen
the first to respond. They \\ers- closely fol
lowed by the stock yards firemen nnd tht
Hammond team , and the firemen from th ;
Omaha packing plant were not far behind.
To thei south of the boxing building It
the buttcrlne department. It looked ns thougl
this structure would go for a time , but the
firemen saved It. The Immense hide cellai
joined the burning building on the north. Ir
this cellar are thousands of dollars' worth o :
hides. Three streams were kept constnntlj
at the north nnd the fire was prevented fron
getting Into the csllar. In front of the boxIng -
Ing building to the cast Is the packing housi
laundry. There Is a space of about thlrtj
feet between the two.
The fire started at about 7:35 : , and at !
o'clock the immense roof of the structuri
caved In. When It fell the flames shot up
ward about 100 feet. At this Juncture I
was feared that th& fire would spread t (
the surrounding buildings , but good engineer
Ing and constant work on the part of the fire
men and the workmen employed at the plan
kept the fire tn the one building.
The fact that the boxing building Is locatei
almost a block from the main plant kept thi
danger in a comparatively small quarter. Thi
damage amounted to about $15,000 , which 1 :
covered by Insurance. The damage to thi
building Is estimated , at $8,000 , and to tin
stock $7,000. The company had $6,000 In
suranca , on the building alone , and the stocl
was fully Insured.
The Omaha fire department was not callec
to assist at th ? fire. Manager Hawley of tin
American District Telegraph and Westerr
Union here , where all the alarms are sen
from , talked with the chief In Omaha ant
explained the extent of the fire , but did no
ask them to come. The Omaha firemen wen
ready to respond In case their services wen
nseded. The rumor that the Omaha fircmei
had refused to come to South Omaha Is un
true. _ .

Burglars entered Mr. Hogan's .grocery
store at Thirty-second and Q streets nt an
early hour yesterday morning. Mr. Hogan
tves up htalrs and heard the men at their
work. He quietly descended the back stair-
ivny and went to look for a policeman. Of
ficer Riches nnd Chief Brennan were soon
on hand. The thieves entered through c
window , b'ut when they went out they let
the back door open. ' They must have left Ir
a hurry , as several large baskets of good :
liad been packed , bur \ierc left standing Ir
: he middle of the floor. The officers cnterei
cautiously in the hope of bagging ono 01
two of the gang , but they were oft before
the police even got sight of them. The mem
bers of n certain gang' in that nelhborhooi
were seen lurking about this store early it
the evening and are strongly suspected o
doing the Job. _ _

ment nt the Chicago opera house. She has
several plays this season In her repertory
entirely new to this country.
Mrs. Langtry'su movements since she

and probably the largest ever known to nnj
stnr or combination since the days of Bootl
and Barrett.

That's n mystery. Take ( Payne ) and work out the two
missing words. Cut it out and bring it to tlm Nebraska , stat
ing your height , weight and appetite , whether married or
willing to be , and in return the first successful answer will
receive first prize , "a guess on how soon the canal will bu
built. " Eacli answer must be accompanied by eleventecn
cents worth of Columbian stamps.
Little folks' clothes arc nearly everywhere sold on the
same ridiculous guessing plan. Guess it is worth so much
more , because the patterns are desirable , or perhaps Mrs. So
and So's boy wears one of 'em , and the demand might in
crease.
We don't trouble ourselves about what others do , but
Avhat we do. No guessing here. Small boys' suits arc
here well represented. Large collection of patterns and
styles , perhaps not the prettiest in the land , according to
some queer tastes , but they're the best from thu best house. )
in the country. Cnn't do any better unless we could com.
municate with planet Mars.
There is no guess work aliout our prices either the only
guessing we are at is how many new patrons each suit will
make. Our prices are n motto , "cheaper bought cheaper
sold. "
FnY Wc nrc ablc lo furnish you ns
J. Ul goo.l a suit as anyone at $3.50.

children's clothes lately , when our buyer was ransacking
the markets for second purchases.
For Three Seventy-Five Sf l STJSf :
score of new designs and styles. They're cheap at $5.00 and
reasonable at $0.00. They're of cassimere , worsted , tweed ,
cheviot well prepared to challenge the requirement of a
real good boy.
For Two-an'a-Quarter
of excellent material , sizes up to 13 ycnrs , is another good
thing for this week. They're worth $1.00. The rest , as to
make and fit , we leave this to your judgment.
Tills is children's week. Look after the little one's ward
robe and if you need some cloth : s , loj'.c aroun 1 town an 1
wind up at our place. Economy demands such a shopping.
