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.

which drifted down from Fremont. Much
expense and a lot of trouble was caused at
that time, when it required several weeks
to put the bridge In passable shar airain

ied by their wives and daughters, moBt
whom are delegates to the Woman's
Relief corps convention or the convention
tho Ladles of the Grand Army of tho
Republic, which meets at Grand Island at
the same time.
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.

Very Had t'onith Cured by Chamber
lain's t'onarh Remedy.
For three months Mr. Gail Woodworth
of Stevens Point, Wis., was troubled with a
a very bad cough. He doctored continu
ally, but got no permanent relief until he
used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which
effected a cure. A great many others have
had a like experience. Most cough medi
cines are merely palliative that Is, they
give only temporary relief while Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy cures tho dlseaso
that causes the coughing and effects a
permanent cure. No one can afford to
neglect a cough, for a persistent cough Is
the first symptom of consumption, the
most fatal of all diseases.
