DEATH OF MISS BEULAH WASHINGTON A telegram from Dowagiac, Mich., to her cousin, Mrs. Jenkins, of Bur dette street, announced the death there last Sunday night of Miss Beu lah Washington, the oldest and last surviving daughter of Charles H. Washington, formerly of Omaha. Miss Washington was bom in Omaha and grew to womanhood here. She was a graduate of the Omaha high school and for a number of years was a member of the choir of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon. Some years ago the family removed to Sodus, Mich., and more recently to Dowagiac. Beulah was in the habit of returning to Omaha for the summer. She was a young woman of sweet disposition and beautiful Christian character. The sympathy of many Omaha friends will go out to Mr. Washing ton, who, in addition to the death of his daughter, was recently bereft of his wife.

REVISITS OMAHA AFTER SEVENTEEN YEARS Mr. Jesse Newman, who for a num ber of years was a member of the police force in this city, but who has been a resident of Oakland, Cal., for the last seventeen years, was an Omaha visitor last Friday, en route home from Chicago. This was Mr. Newman’s first visit to Omaha since going to California, and he said: “I am simply amazed at the growth of Omaha. I would hardly know the place. I can scarcely be lieve my eyes.” Mr. Newman is looking remarkably well. He regretted exceedingly that his brief stay in Omaha made it pos sible for him to see only a very few of his many friends.
