ONE OF EARLIEST SETTLERS
Joseph Redman, one of Omaha's
oldest pioneers passed away Friday
afternoon at 1:05 at his home., He
has been gradually sinking for tho
last week, having been unconscious
for the last two days.
To Uncle Joe Redman, death came like
a sweet, peaceful sleep. It was a grad
ual wearing out of the human machine.
Ilia health had failed ao gradually that
when called, he panned awav without a
his family. Conscious almost to the last,
though weak, he recognised his friends
who called, and of whom there were
scores, men and women who have grown
to manhood and womanhood and have
become fathers and mothers and even
grandparents since having formed the
acquaintance of this rtoneer who has
gone.
Joseph Redman was a pioneer of the
pioneers, coming to Nebraska long prior
to the period when statehood commenced.
and from that time until hi death he
was a continuous resident of the state.

Quite a breese Is stirring In school af
fair over the circular sent to the teach
ers, announcing that their last warrants
of the school year will not be distributed
until Tuesday, June 22, four days after
the close of school.
, Acting upon the custom which has been
in' Vogue for twenty years, many of tho
teachers made plans to leave on Satur
day, June 19, the day after the laat day
of school. This sudden announcement by
president Ernst of the Board of Educa
tion brought forth all sorts of comments.
- When- i.tne. . Ernst circular' was re

prophetie. vision. mad . this -. remark!
"The mob In Caesar Is Ilka a Msy day
affair compared to what will follow this
announcement."
Another outburst was: "We all helped
to elect this Board of Education.' and
thig is what we get"
' President Ernst declared he would not
sign the warrants until "after the work
had been done,", which, would be on Sat
urday, June 1 The board will meet on
Monday, June 21, to approve the payroll
and the teachers will be paid on the fol

education, mastering all the common

the country.
For two years Vnele Jie Redman rod

his attention to farming, finding em
ployment near hla home. At the age of
20 years he heard the call of the west,
and, securing deck passage, went dawn

Mississippi, and then up that stream t
Dubuque. At Dubuque he remained one
year, and then went back to Pennsyl

married his first wife. Miss Mary Jane

Early In the spring of 167. Mr. Redman,
his wife and their two babies bade good
bye to the old Pennsylvania home and.
aecurlng passage on one of the Ohio
river boats, started for Nebraska, a sec
tion of the country that then was little
known, except that it waa spoken of as
tho abode of Indiana and the range for
countless herds of buffalo. The Ohio
river boat carried the Redman to
Liouis, and from there they.enme on n

foot ol Farnam street. .. .
For a couple of weeks sfter reachimr
Omaha, Mr. Redman, hla wife and chil
dren lived In a covered wagon that the
former purchased. Later he bought a
yoke of oxen, and, loading his poaaes
alons Into the wagon, started Out to look
up some land, very little of which had
bom taken by settlers at that time. Ro-
tween Omaha and Florence and a little
west, a tract of ISO acres was found that
pleased Mr. Redman, and here he made
hla pre-emption filing, paying out on U
at the rate of II. S. per acre with money
ha borrowed, the Interest figuring at the
rate of 80 per cent per annum.
Settle at Seratoaw.
Phortly after securing title to his lan-i,
Mr. Redman bought a tract In the vicin
ity of Twenty-fourth street and Ames
avenue, a town that at that time -was
known aa Saratoga. Here he erected a
building and started doing blacksmith
work, though, as ha frequently afterwarl
acknowledged, he was not a blacksmith.
The blarkainlth venture was not success
ful, and quitting thla. Mr. Redman en
gaged In freighting between Omaha and
Denver. He freighted one or two sea
son and then returned to his farm, re
maining there eight yeara. after which he
moved Into Omaha and went Into the

Hummel Says the
Senile Goober Has
No Place in Parks
"All peanuts - sold In the public parka
this season must be within the require
ments of the pure food laws." Park
Commissioner Hummel.
Joe Hummel says that peanuts ara
worthy of respect, and he'd who sell
them la the parks must be quite circum
spect. . A nut Is but a nut. and never can
be more, but the vendor of a senile
goober makes Hummel very sore. His
dictum Is law and his orders just as
brief, and the man who'd vend unworthy
nuts will surety corns to grief.
- Place a crown upon the peanut and
give Jos a credit mark; it's time to rout
the unkind churl wtiod sell peanuts In
the dark. We all may have a lark with
neanuts In the park, and while the band
plays "Tlpperary" we'll take a stroll
with Mary and with a nickel In our
jeans our bill of fare may vary.
Where are the peanuts of yesterday,
those of uncertain repute? They've
traveled the dark way of dire dlarepute
and ' with us no more can dlapute. Sing
Ho! Sing Hoi for the merry peanut, for
the nut with a family tree;, leat we
should forget, we will all say It yet, Joe
Hummel has set the world free.
