This Is a conclusion from judging by that energy with which they combat every obstacle that apparently unimpressionable. clerk of the weather thru ta In their other wise unobstructed ways and paths. When tncre ordinary mortals arc gasping for breath and almost ready to mefl away at the bare thought of the least llttlo bit of necessary exertion , the men and maidens of the society world , who of course are made of other clay than the common or garden species of hu manity , which render * them utterly Indif ferent to heat and cold alike , are actually treading with merry hearts and nimble feet the mazc ot the dance and all the while they look as froth and dainty and cool at cucumbers. Dame Society Is proudly rais ing her temporarily crestfallen head again and feels quite capable of holding her own ( n spite of the Inroads made on her domains and the temporary decimation of her ranks. , She Is already prepared to give a gay wel come to her fast returning devotees , who arc eagerly preparing to take up their roles of hosts , hoate&acs nnd guests In turn. Inscribed with "the compliments and con dolence from your most sympathetic friend , Imogenc S. Iloby , " the following pathetic lines descriptive of a bicycle trip to Belle- vuc , undertaken by two young women con veniently referred to as .Mabel and Sadie , have been submitted for the edification of Interested admirers : TIIU START. Two maids , two wheels , n. summer's day ; A country road that lures away , No wiser 'head ' to say them nay ; Some Joyous words and laughter cay , And fco , fair maids , away , away. THE PILGRIMAGE.

A railway train In Old Bellevuc , Two glrla too weary to nay "boo ; Some blisters , tan and freckles , too ; Two -battered wheels checked mec-kly through , And so , sweet maids , adieu , adieu !

"Davlcs , " 1511 Douglas street. ; ; SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. a fft Under dote of July 20 , the Department of Agriculture lias issued an order requiring the dipping of sheep after August 10. Any sheep affected with scabies and any sheep which have been In contact with infected sheep , will not bo allowed to be shipped from one state or territory into another without flrat having been dipped. It Is customary for the range sheepman to ship his flocks to Missouri river markets and , in the event that prices offered are not satisfactory , a reconsignment to Chicago cage is made. When bought by the packer either at the Missouri river markets or at Chicago It has not been necessary , under former regulations , to dip sheep on account of their being sold for Immediate slaughter , In the event that sheep were not bought by packers , but were sent out Into the coun try , cither aa feeders or etockers , the dip ping order has been strictly enforced both at Missouri river points and at Chicago. It Is understood that the object of the bureau of animal industry Is to locate and exterminate dlteaee. but as tbo government cannot place Inspectors at every point In Iowa , Illinois and Missouri , range owners can now ship where they bavo effected sales In advance and the spread of disease cannot be controlled. For several years an exception has been made at Missouri river polnta by the gov ernment where sheep wore shipped to tin eastern market for Immediate slaughter. Thle now order , however , does away with the old system , and compels dipping whether for Immediate slaughter or not. In other words a sheepman cannot try this market and go on to Chicago with his sheep unless first dipped here. Sheepmen consider this new order a hard ship and an effort is to be made to Induce the department to make certain modified- , tlons , H is desired that ehetfp Intended for Immediate slaughter be allowed to proceed from one market to another without dip * ping. Flockmasters in the country are be coming Interested , and they hope that the order may be amended , The Department of Agriculture goes SD far at < to state what kind or a dip must be used. It must bo either tobacco and sul phur or lime and sulphur , tbo proportions being given in the order. Arrangements are now being made by thn stock yards company to comply with the new order. Vluilurt 'IlfpnlrM ' to He Jin tie. Chief Engineer King of the Union Stock Yards company cald yesterday that on Mon day the work of repairing the Q itreet via duct * ould be commenced. The ccet ot the MRS. J. BENSON , The Handsome Shirt Waists we arc selling for CENTS Worth $1.25 See the $4,00 Linen Skirts , trimmed with braid , we are selling for $2,25. repairs to be made will be borne by the stock yards and the Union Pacific. It will not be necessary to close the bridge for some time , but before the repairs are com pleted the structure will have to bo closed , and this will mean the discontinuance of the ntrcct car servie on Q street for a time. The city council has not ordered the stock yards company and the Union Pacific to make the repairs to the viaduct , but the companies mentioned evidently realize the Intent of the state law and wilt go ahead regardless of the city officials. Sunday Clcinlnpr Movement. The Sunday closing of stores Is not devel oping Into as popular a movement as was supposed. It la understood that the shoe and clothing houses will be open today the same as usual , the groceries , however , will remain closed. Yesterday It was reported that the Retail Clerks' union Intended leaving the matter ot Sunday closing to the Trades' council of Omaha. Whllo quite a number ot merchants here are willing to close , It IB stated that the clerks did not go about the matter In the right way , and there may be a difference of opinion , unless radical changes are made In the management of the Sunday closing movement. Arinuur'N > Wnrcliotmc. The contract for excavating for Armour & Co.'s big warehouse has not yet been , let , and it may not bo until atter the city coun cil meets Monday night.
