charge of the work expect to have theae Q

Both of the big concrete plera for the O

terday workmen oommenoed the stringing

Juat aa soon aa the O street viaduct Is

Then will commence a rearrangement of

Another Fating: Petition.
Property owners on Twenty-third street
are preparing to present to the city coun
cil a petition for the paving of Twenty
third street from A atreet south to J street.
Spme time ago the council granted permis
sion to park thla atreet and a portion of
the work baa already been done.. By nar
rowing the width of the atreet to thirty
two feet the coat of an asphalt pavement
will not amount to a great deal. Those
owning property on Twenty-third atreet
from A to E atreet have already algned the
paving petition. In oasa It la considered ad
visable to make a larger district the pave
ment Is to be extended to J atreet and pos
sibly to K. Many of those interested assert
that tho work ahould be done thla year
while there la Intereat In the "proposition.
Permanent walka are being laid by the
property ownera on thla atreet with a view
to the paving of the thoroughfare.
Vcw Waahoote Reported.
Even with the hard rain of Wednesday
afternoon- only two waahouta of any Im
portance were reported at the office of the
atreet commissioner. Of oourse there was
the usual waahout at Twenty-second and It
streets. The other was near Twenty-third
and F atreeta. The damage to the streets
In both of these placee can be repaired at
little coat.
The rain washed a large amount of dirt
to catch basins oa paved atreeta and yes
terday thla accumulation waa removed to
the city dumping ground, so that now the
atreeta in the business portion of the city
present a cleaner appearance than for
eomo time past
It will not be possible for the present to
flush the . pavement on Twenty-fourth
street, aa haa been customary, for the rea
son that many of the holea are being filled
with broken atone. To flush the street the
stone would be washed away. The mayor
has decided that he will use the old plan
of cleaning thla atreet by day labor.
Bef Butchers' Schedule.
The South Omaha beef butohera are ar
ranging a new schedule to be sent to the
packers on or about June L Thla new
schedule la a revision of the present wage
scale, and was 'decided upon at the na
tional convention held In Cincinnati early
In the month. While members of the local
union do not say much about the schedule.
It la understood to be merely a revision of
the contract entered Into about a year ago
between the beef butchers and the packera
The opinion is expressed that' there is not
enough change In the revised schedule to
cause any comment. Other ached ulea are
to be made up aa the existing contracts
expire with a view to having an entirely
new wage scale by the end of the aummer
months.
Anthracite Cea4 Coming Ia.
Local coal dealers are receiving hard coal
in large quantities these days. The objoct
of early shipments ia to aave the Increase
In the price which Is sure to come before
long and also to get In a supply while the
present freight rates exist. Just now
anthracite coal la selling in Chicago for
HID per ton, and dealers her are taking
advantage of the present piles. One dealer
said last night that Just aa long as the
present prices obtain the South Omaha
coal men will keep laying In a supply. By
getting coal Into the city at thla season of
the year there will be no difficulty about a
shortage of ooal later on when prices will
be higher.

ECCENTRICITIES OF THE EAGLE
Proad Bird of Freedom Dabbed a
Fasky Critter" a ad aa Vamlt
laat eg Nalsaaoa,"
The American eagle Is so comfortably
ensconced on the American dollar and
In tha hearts of the ownera thereof
that they naturally grow forgetful of
all but his symbolic position la the
national economy. Hunters and trap
pers know totter, and so do the ownera
of aheep ranges in tha mountains. To the
former ha is game, to the latter a "pesky
critter," to be classed with other "var
mint" aa an unmitigated nulaanoe. For the
American eagle, though so comfortable on
coin and on coat of arms, and though
doubtleaa rejoicing in his proud position in
the national symbolism, has bis own living
to make. He is a bold and doughty hunts
man, as bents his reputation and the neces
sities, for his living Is not an easy one.
The eagle la tha largest bird of prey and
king of blrda oa the Pacific coast. Ua la
a handsome bird, and possesses a speed of
flight, courage and a grace, oorablned with
strength, which make him as attractive to
tha hunter aa a pirate of old to the ro
mancer, la color he ia a beautiful gray,
sprinkled with flecks of white, aa though
his oat hers had been slightly anowed on.
The head and neck, after the bird la a
year old, are enow white. There la also a
round white spot on the under surface of
each wing. The wings when spread meas
ure six or seven feet from tip to tip.
In California the eagle is found in the
northern counties, usually near the sheep
ranges. When not In flight he Is to be seen
resting on a point of rock, for ho seldom
alights on a tree. Not far away from his
rocky lookout, however, you will find his
neat in aomo tall tree, generally in a can
yon or aome thickly wooded out-of-the-way
place. The neat is built of twlga and
amall branches. Tha egg is larger than a
turkey egg and la block mottled. The eaglet
doea not get hla natural colors till oae year
old.
The young eagles are fed by the male and
female both, but one alwaya guards the
young while the other parent Is out aoout
ing for . the wherewithal. The eagle on
guard, from hla eyrie, aeea from afar the
approach of the hostile, and unless that
hostile la well versed In the waya of eaglea
ha will be turned from the trail by the sim
ple subterfuge which the great bird prac
tices in common with the tiniest of the
feathered tribe. When you ara three or
four hundred yarda from the neat tha eagle
on guard flies toward you quite casually and
continues along In the direction which he
would like you to take. This maneuver ia
repeated till you are well warmed by the
chase, and have planned Just what you are
going .to do with his plumes. Suddenly he
sweepa around a hill and la gone back to
the neat.
The eagle la a thorough sportsman. He
kiila hla game with hla own weapons, and
he gives It an even break, for half the
sport la the chaae of hla prey. Hla meth
ods are characterized by dash rather than
by strategy, tie disdains cunning, leaving
that to hia victims. He doea little night
hunting, and seems to have very regular
habits. Though eagles hunt generally In
pairs, they do not sat together. Each one
spears hla own game, unless one beoames
disabled from tha wound. Ia that case the
other eagles of tha neighborhood supply
him with meat until be becomes able to
fly. or leaves the tolls of this Ufa for tha
happy bunting grounds.
Tha questing eagles have a way all their
own In carrying on their mimic war. The
pair of eaglea that have Joined forces begin
by sailing round and round over the moun
tain peaks and canyons, sometimes high,
soraetlmea low, till they have started their
gams, a Jack-rabbit or a amall deer, a goose
or a lamb, a cat or a amall dog. After the
game la started the eagle glvea chase, flying
close behind, and about 200 feet above the
prey until the animal la running hla best
When a Jack-rabbit or a amall deer is the
victim the pace Is hot, but the eagle knowa
hia power of wing. When the feathered
huntsman geta hla quarry where he wants
it ho stretches out his bead and spreads hla
tall to suit the occasion, and then awoopa
down on hia prey with the apeed of a light
ning flash. Moat animals larger than a hare
they do not atrika. Tbey almply pick them
up and carry them to a secluded plaos
wbers they may dine without interruption.
A gooes or a turkey the eagle strlkas, kill
ing with a single blow.
Tha eagle picks up a lamb, blasting piti
fully, by burying his claws In Its sides over
tha heart. Small pigs are often picked up
In the same way and carried off, kicking
and squealing aa their captor aoars aver the
nearest hill. In catching a lamb. If the
eagle la not ready to carry It away, he
euta tha Jugular vein on each aide close to
the ear and leaves the carcass, to return at
hla leisure. '
The eagle disdains very little in the way
ot food. He enjoys the domestlo anlmala ae
well as the d.nlsens of the brush, and hsg
no compunction about carrying off the
family cat or a small dog from the rancher.
The only anlmala of a size available for hla
purpose which he eonsldera unfit for Ma
table ara tha porcuplng sod akuak. fa
aome reason or other he never attacks
either of theae.
After killing a fowl the eagle atanda on
the carcass to hold It down while he plcka
off the feathers. He skins an animal with
the ease of an expert dermatologist. The
eagle haa an unerring beak for the tender
eat parts of the meat, and a provident habit
of devouring these first. In the ease of a
surprise and a hasty retreat, he oaa flatter
himself that prowling coyote or wildcat,
feasting off hla relinquished quarry, has got
but tha scraps.
Eagles are much bolder wnea hunting In
company. They often circle round a band
of cattle In the high foothills aa If planning
a hunt after big game. An eagla will often
dart down at a recumbent cow aa though he
meant to strike. He circles again and
again, getting closer and closer, till the
cow geta uneaay and rises. Awakening to a
realisation of her slxe, Mr. Eagla circles at
a more respectful distance. Eaglea some
times attack young calves when the mothers
have left them for water, and secure a
square meal by tholr enterprise.
In spite of his apparent accessibility, the
eagle Is a hard bird to shoot. Shots fired
straight at their breaate when they are
resting seem rarely to take effect, and they
fly away unhurt. The feathers seem to be
Impervious to lead. But the hunter who
learns to shoot them against the lay of
their feathers finds that hla shots take ef
fect Thla la a thing worth knowing, for
tha eaglea are ao numerous and such a
nuisance te stockmen In aome iocalttiea of
the state that there la a bounty offered for
their Uvea. San Francisco Chronicle,

LEAF FROM THE MISTY PAST
Whast the Raw Straw Bat Was a Havel
ad Tre.'nred Peaaesaloa la
Way Back Tisaes.
In tha early part of tha last century there
were fewer factories in this country than
now, and many things wete made by hand
which today are the work of machinery.
This was especially true of the braid for
straw hats. Rye straw was commonly
used, although wheat waa alao In demand.
But tha cya atraw had longer arama and
waa more easily handled.
In driving along country roads. In Massa
chusetts particularly, late In tha summer
one would sea great bundles of straw hang
ing on tha fences to dry. When the sun
and wind had done their share of the
work, it waa placed In casks where sul
phur waa burning until it waa bleached
toy a pale yellow. Then It waa apUt into
narrow wldtha suitable for braiding.
The daughtera of farmers did not have
many pennlea of their own In thoaa days,
and all were eager to earn money by
braiding straw. Every little while man
would pass through the village, calling
from house to house and buying tha atraw
braid. They paid t oenta a yard for it
"District aohool" was In session only
era montba of the year the rest of the
time the children helped their mothers
with tha housework. When that was done
they took up their braids for amusement
and occupation. Ba much a day every girl
expected to do aa her dally "stint .Sha
would carry it down ty the brook or up
In the apple tree when the aummer days
were long; or during the stormy hours Of
winter she would go with it to tha old
attic, where the rwlng hung from the cob
webbed rafters. But all the time her fin
gers must work busily, lest the men ahould
call for the hi aids and find them uufln
ished Tha factories whtre the tr-aw waa aewed
were In the large towns. The simplest
hats were of the Ualds alone. More elab
orate onee had a fancy cord, alao of plaited
atraw, aewed on tha edge of the braid. Thla
cord vraa made by the old ladlea. Grand
mothera (Jid greatauata whoso ayea were
too dim to aew would take their balls of
straw with them on neighborhood calls.
While they chatted together, their hands
would be weaving the yellow atronds In
and out fashioning tha dainty ooid.
- Tha price paid for the cord was only H
cent a yard, but this was better than noth
ing to those dames of a bygone genera
tion. A poor country girl would begin to think
of her hat from the time of seed sowing.
AU summer she would watoh the billowy
grain. When it waa gathered and only the
empty atalka were left shs would tie them
Into bundles and bang them in aome shel
tered nook to dry. Bleaching, splitting and
braiding these she did herself.
When the braids were finished and sent
to the factory how Impatiently she waited.
Perhaps grandma contributed some of the
cord she had made laat winter that tha
new hat might be more beautiful. At last
the hat came home and then what trytngs
on there were before the old gilt-framed
mirror in the parlor. How lovingly its
owner handled It aa aba plaoed It this way
or that on her curly head. Oh. a new
atraw hat was, Indeed, a thing well worth
having In thoaa days ef the long s-go. St
Nicholas.
