But, before Mr. Welsh's time, there was a year of which he has heard that wins, hsnds down from 1916. Karly 1A00. or so tha utory goes it Mr. Welsh tells It, there was a year which for oold weather has never been equalled. It la not known how wide an area tha oold weather covered, aa the middle west was at that time largely settled by In diana, who failed to keep accurate weather dates, but New Lngland recorded a frost during every month of the year. Mr. Welsh's story was not complete, but tha aodount la that there was ice to be found In June; heavy frosts In Jul), and the first snow of the coming winter fell in August. Crops were completely ruined, and stock waa greatly affected. LEDGER PARTY GUESTS OF OMAHA Parriih Attempts to Show the Vis itors Sights of the City Be tween Trains. FIND THE WEST IS HOSPITABLE Fifty-eight Phlladelphlans of the Philadelphia Ledger party were In Omaha between 11 o'clock Tuesday morning and 4:30 In the afternoon, resting up and seeing the sights be fore going on their way to San Fran cisco. This Is a party of those who won trips to the exposition In a prlr.e contest conducted by the Ledger. A. R. Ptanley Is In charge of the party. "We bumped Into full hotels In Ohlcsgo with Christian Kndeavor and every other kind of conventions In progress." said Stanley, "and In Omaha we bumped into the veterinarians, tha Woodman of the World, and what not, until we don't know whether we are Christian Endeavor workers or veterinarians. But, with all that, we never struck such universal hospitality aa we are striking Jhere in tha central west." Though the party r. tipped In somewhat unnannounced, E. V.I Parrlsh, manager of tha bureau of puVtlolty of the Com mercial club, took thorn In charge at once and showed them about the city as beat he could under the rainy condition of tha weather. Carry Own Detectives. . Twelve special policemen accompany the party. No, they are not necessarily along to shoo burglars and thugs away. Pome of them are prise winners. There are also two detectives with the party. "And say, If any of ui got hold up," said Stanley, "these detectives will never hear the last of It" The party Is a few days behind the liberty bell. The special has been chasing the bell ardontly since It left the Quaker City. Dr. C, B. Burns, one of the party. Is a prominent Shrlnsr, and hopoe to get to Frisco in time to tike part lit the ctremony when the rthrlnors are to con duct the bell formally to the exposition grounds. Dr. Burns Is not enjoying his trip for nervousness lest the bell beat Mm to the cos at and he be too lota to participate In the ceremony. ' He threat ens repeatedly to desert his special and take a fast train to tha coast. Files Claim for Flood Damages A communication from from B. B. Roberts, regarding damage caused by backwater of a sewer Wowing the lid of a manhole off and flooding his lot, was the cue for the city council to Indulge In a little levity. "There is some force to his statement," remarked Commlealoner Jardlne. "I would suggest that the superintend ent of police keep the lid on," Interjected one commissioner. When the clerk advised that a letter from Commissioner Jardlne to Mr. Roberts was attached to the letter's com plaint, tfe suggestion was made that Jar dlne shoulu not write letter Mr. Roberta asks for $175 damages, whlr-h claim wl! be given proper consideration. ARRESTED ON WAK TO THEIRWEDDING Man and Woman Caught at Have- lock Traveling in Auto Stolen from E. E. Zimmerman. AEE HELD IN THE COUNTY JAIL To be pinched on your way to be married is one of the delightful lit tle novelties that seldom comes Into the Uvea of the average citlien. But such was the experience accorded Oeorge B. Woodward, aged 18 years, of Des Moines and Miss Lillle Kofeld, 1708 Cass street, who were rudely snared by the Havelock, Neb., police while enroute to Lincoln to be spliced. The occasion of this little diversion was tha fact that they were sojourning In the stolen car of K. K. Zimmerman of Omaha. William Kenna, aged. 18 years, living at North Thirty-eighth street, waa also arrested with them and later E. Rutherford of Omaha waa pinched for stealing the car. The latter established his Innocence of the charge In police court by proving that he had only taken a ride with the trio while the car was in Omaha. The other three are being held In the county jail and a charge will be filed asalnst them. ' Meedainea M. A. ntlth. -K. O. Hron. Alex Jetea. M. M. Kline. 1. i Ixe.oy, Mesdames J. W. Hood, K. Daks. H.

The Omaha Woman's Golf club held its regular g-vnte liuu-beoa veaterday Bouquet Reposes Safely in Icebox During the Dinner Mrs. 8. B. Slewan sent a beautiful bouquet to tha board of governora of Ak-Har-Bn to adorn the center of their table at the board dinner and meeting at the Omaha club Monday night. The bouquet did not appear. No one was disappointed, because no one knew It was coming. Now It leaks out that a bouquet should have been there. Inves tigation proved that tho bouquet had been delivered at tha Omaha club rooms In good shape, had been placed In the refrigerator by a thoughtful waiter, and then totally forgotten by tha same thoughtful waiter until after tha dinner was ovsr. The bouque haa been brought to light since and la now on eihlbit in fresh water at the office, 1717 Douglas street. They are known aa Ak-Par-Ben deletes, having the Ak-r-Uen colore of red, green and yellow. Earthquake Damage in Imperial Valley Less Than Reported Charles fl. Fee, paseenger traffic, man ager of the Bouthem Pacific, haa sent to General Psasenger Agent Ilaslnger of the Union Pacific a detailed account of the damage done throughout tha Imperial valley by the recent earthquake that via Ited that section of the southwest, lie does not give figure on the loasea, but asserts that the damage was not to ex ceed V per cent of the lowest estimate first sent out To secure his data Mr.. Fee sent men from the Ban Francisco headquarters of tha road. They visited all tho towns and many of the ranchea in that portion ul the Imperial valley where the effects of tha earthquake were felt. Upon their re turn they made their report, ehowlnf that few. If any, .of the lnhabltanta had become disheartened. In all localities busineas had been resumed and waa being carried on aa before the quake. The re port Indicates that damnge waa greatly overestimated and that all over the dis trict only the frailest' and poorest built structures sustained damage. In tho towns well built residences and business blocks withstood the shock, not even the walls being cracked. Fires that followed ilid more damage thun the quake Itself. Sprayed as She Crosses the Street Ptreet sweepers find It difficult to keep the pavements clear of puddlea of muddy iter. One of the puddles hardest to dispose of is where the electrically oper ated switch Is located at Sixteenth and Dodge streets. A street railway mall car, turning from Sixteenth to Dodge street, operated the switch, just aa a young woman started to eroaa the street at that point. The switch worked, but the muddy water which filled It waa auddenly and force fully ejected directly at tha oncoming damsel and ah waa aprayed from head to foot. It was amusing to the bystanders, but tha woman in question seemed some what angry as sh boarded a northbound car.
