THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1 . - 190" POOR HOUSE HOME AT LAST County rrm fleceire. Aged Pilgrimi After Vain Struggle for Shelter. LITTLE HUT SOLD BY ONE TO OTHER LOST OK Soldier and Wife Tar Last Farthing to Mare's W I dorr for Home to Find , Title Sot Secure. Henry Holmes was a (rrcat. big, black negro, who was a slave In Kentucky before the war. He was aold on the auction block once for $1,500 and was considered a prize by his owner. He was famed for his strength. One day he decided to be free. He crawled under a lot of gunnysacks in an empty wagon, staid there for three days, and when he emerged and got a breath of fresh air and something to eat he waa In a country where no slaves were tolerated. Not long after the war began he shouldered a musket and went back to fight the men who formerly owned him. Many ycurs ago, 'after the fighting was done, Henry Holmes caino to Omaha, mar ried and established a homo. Ho "cut hams' In the old Boyd picking houso for about fifteen years and built a house at Fourth and Pino streets. This "houso'1 is one of the most curious of its kind in tlio city. It la constructed wholly of metal, Is water tight, air tight and its nucleus is an old iron gasoline lamp pole, discarded by the city a score of years ago. The shack Is in the street. In the summer it cannot be seen for sunflowers and weeds. It looks as though it simply grew around the lamp post, which stands in the center of its single room. Everything, from sheet iron to old tin wash boilers, was used in its construction. Here Henry and his wife lived happily. He got a small pension from tho government, and when the best days of his activity were gone earned a little by doing odd Jobs for people in the neigh borhood. Ho was rich in their esteem and was a generally respected negro, noted for his prodigious size and girth, for the fact that he paid his bills and that he could "be trusted." Little Homo Is Sold. Last January Henry died of dropsy. His widow survived him. She continued to live in the shack until a short time ago, when another old soldier, a white man named Edward C. Whiting, chanced to encounter her. Whiting said he was looking for a home where he and his wife might rest until death called them, which they thought would not be long. Mrs. Henry Holmes promptly closed a deal whereby the me. talllc shack and Its small plot of garden were transferred to Edward C. Whiting for $20, Just about all tho money he had. Then Mrs. Henry Holmes went to the poor house. Edward C. Whiting moved in that is, he and his aged wife moved in, for they had little else to move. He also draws a small pension, 6 a month. Though he cannot work at his trade of harness making, he Is capable of laboring at small Jobs. 80 they managed to get along somehow. They had a bed, an old cook stove set. on bricks, a table and a few other of the absolutely necessary things that mark the line be tween barbarism and the rest, and more over the "house" was warm. Mrs. Whit ing's rheumatism grew worse and she could not move hand or foot, but this did not matter so much because the old man was able to get around and Bklrmlsh something to eat some way or other. But What did matter was when a representa tive of the city called and pulled out some official looking papers and began to make Inquiries. Briefly, he had to say that, al though Henry Holmes had occupied the premises for a long time, a Judgmont had been obtained in the courts ousting htm and settling that the land belongs to the city and is part of the street. Further more, that Holmes had been allowed to remain merely through forbearance of the authorities, but now the authorities were hard pressed by tho owners of property nearby the metal shack, who want th shack removed so that they can Improve their lota, get the street open and do a little real estate business, posHlbly of proflj. to themselves, Merta Fate with Grim Grit. Mr. Whiting, when ho found that Mrs. Holmes erred grievously in assuming ownership of the premises, looked at the matter philosophically. He had thought he and his wife had secured a "home" for the remainder of their days, but he Is will ing to go Into a soldiers' home and have his wife taken care of at the poor farm or some other institution, but ho thinks he ought to get his $20 back somehow. He doesn't quite understand how he can part with the money without getting something In return for it. Claim Agent Cockrell has taken the mat ter up with the city government and thinks the $20 will forthcome from the treasury and that the old soldier won't lose any thing by his unfortunate transaction. CATARRHAL TROUBLES PREVALENT tprlna; Months (amr Catarrh Mrcnthe llrotnrl and lie Cored. Catarrhal troubles aTc more common at this season than at any other time of the year. The midden changes Mint come during the spring months are productive of many cases of catarrh that without proper trestment will become chronic. The plensnntest, most convenient, and only scientific method for the treatment and cure of catarrh, Is llyomel. 81mply put twenty drops in the little pocket In haler that comes with every outfit, and then breathe It for three minutes four times a day. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar, and as the Inhaler will last a lifetime and there Is sufficient Hyomol for several weeks treatment. It Is the most economical catarrhal remedy known. Extra bottles can be procured for fifty cents. Ask Bherman & McConnell Drug Co., corner 16th and Dodge streets, Omaha, to show you the strong guarantee under which they sell Hyomei. Mr. Elgutter was compelled to mnke a hard tight to retain the ownership of the property. Hohert lirutnn, who In another court gained some notoriety a while back, set up a claim of ownership bnsed on ad verse possession, as alleged, for ten years. Under the law of Nebrnska. If proven, this allegation would have given Rruton a clear title to the lot. In securing a Jury to try this case a doxen or more men disquali fied themselves by saying they were strongly prejudiced against the kind of clHlm set up by the defendant and could not therefore give the case a fair hearing. The Jury was out only a short time after getting the case. DAWSON LECTURES OLD FLOCK Former Pastor of Walnut Hill Metho dist Church on Epworth Lensroe l'rogram. The second number of the Epworth league lecture course at the Walnut Hill Methodist Episcopal church waa given last night to a crowded house. The lecturer was Rev. C. N. Dawson of Osceola, la., for five years pastor of the Walnut Hill church. Dr. Dawson was among his old friends and the welcome he received wna sufficient to put him at his best. Tho subject of his lecture was, "Things Are Not What They Seem." He spoke of the mistaken esti mate we often put cm things and persons and gave two or three practical illustrations of optical Illusions In confirmation of tho subject of his lecture. He dwelt at length upon the shams of business, social and church life. In business life he, maintained that the shams are as often on one side of tho counter as tho other. Social shams are dangerous, but the most dangerous of all shams Is the hypocrite In the church, who can do more damage to tho cause of Chris tianity than sixteen lnfldels. Dr. Dawson possesses a generous fund pf optimism and humor. He said he believes there are more really good people In tho world than Is popularly supposed, and that much of the world's wickedness Is exag gerated, though there is sufficient wicked ness prevalent to keep humanity pretty well on Its guard. The Intter part of his lecture was devoted to numerous humorous anecdotes, well told, and kept his audience In the best of humor. The next number of the course will be a muslcalo to be given by the Walnut Hill Methodist Episcopal church choir on Tues day evening. May 23. Tho program will consist of eleven numbers, Including many old vocal favorites both In chorus and solo. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Oitizeni Want Viaduct Built Acrou Tracks at foot of N Street.

More Than Vstial Interest. The encampment promises to bo one of more than passing interest in view of the possible contest for the position of dele gate to the national encampment, which meets at Denver In August. The central point of interest, however, lies In the elec- lon of department commander, and thlB seems to have sifted down to two candi dates. Rev. P. C. Johnson of Tecumseh and John Lett of of York county. Mr. Johnson is at present chaplain of the Ne braska penitentiary and Mr. Lett is the president of the Nebraska Association of he Veterans of Shiloh. Both men have splendid records as soldiers and are ardent Grand Army men. There is some rretty vigorous talk of making an effort at the Grand Island en campment to change the headquarters of tho department from Lincoln to the home town of whoever Is elected department commander, as prevails in other states and as applies to the Woman's Relief corps of this state, as well as with the Ladles of the Grand Army. Another feature likely to come up for animated consideration is the reduction of the per capita tax to bo paid the department headquarters. The disposition is to reduce the per capita tax to 10 cents per member. There has been significant falling off of membership of the Grand Army during the last few years as a natural result in tho increasing death rate owing to the advancing years of the old veterans. Suspension of Members. Strong measures also will be taken to prevent the suspension of members, and the restoration of suspended members to the rolls of the grand army, but the ab solute remission of their dues. Another measure that will receive attention will be the consolidation of weak posts with stronger ones as "picket" posts; thus per mitting the weak posts to retain their charters, which many prefer to do as a matter of sentiment and are thus willing to consolidate In this way with the stronger posts, in order to partially retain their individuality.

The few days that city prisoners have been worked on the rock pile has proven so beneficial that the feature will be made permanent.
