Their Welcome ,
It really docs seem as It those members
of Omaha's 400 who are etlll. gracing the city
with their refreshing presence arc the po. -
eccsors ot wings which are cither attached ,
invisibly , of course , to their shoulder * or
their feet. 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

and feels quite capable of holding her own

and the temporary decimation of her ranks.

She Is already prepared to give a gay wel

arc eagerly preparing to take up their roles

Inscribed with "the compliments and con

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.
Some hill * , more hills , and dust and heat ;
A road for rut 'twere hnrd to beat ;
Great lack of aught to drink or eat ;
Some "spills , " with sprawling hands and
feet.
Alack ! fair maids , the day's defeat !
THE RETURN.
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 !

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.

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

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.
