Omaha News: Four women attend ed the funeral of Mrs. AlmaO, Tilton, Fifteen and Ohio streeFs, unde dif ficulties yesterday afternoon. They got started late, their carriage team ran away, they were nearly wrecked in Miller park, but they were not dis suaded from taking part in the funeral procession. They got in a passing auto, caught up wjth the procession, and accompanied the rest of the mourners to the cemetery. One of the victims of the wild ride was Mrs.Daniel Canfield of 1814 Cali fornia street, a bride of a week and wife of one of the pall bearers. Mrs. Qanfleld held her three companions inside the carriage while the conveyance swung from side to side of the road. Upon reaching the west side of Mil ler park the runaway team was stop ped by two soldiers and John Sherry, driver of a bottling works wagon. One of the women fainted as the carriage was stopped. The funeral cortege, just in sight, was stopped. Ralph Kitchen, proprietor of the Pax ton hotel, happened along in an auto and picked up the four stranded women, taking them to Forest Lawn cemetery with the funeral procession. Driver Peter Hansen of the funeral carriage says the women told him to hurry and catch the funeral procession. "I did hurry, but when I tried to check the horses they got beyond con trol,” stated Driven Hansen. The animals ran nearly two miles, much of the way through a circuitous boulevard and narrowly avoiding colli sions. Live Stock Market Uncertain. South Omaha, June 3.—Gentlemen: we will not attempt to send our usual market letter today as the conditions are somewhat unusual owing to the strike of the packing house employes at Sioux City. Stock from that territory is coming to Omaha and we have unusual heavy receipts, especially on hogs, here -today with a threatening strike of the employes of the Omaha packing plants also we feel that the only thing to do is to send out a warning to the shippers to exercise caution with regard to both buying and shipping of stock for the present. We are entertaining the Nebraska editors here today so they will have an opportunity to view the situation personally. [ Standard Live Stock Com Oo.

J. R.

At the meeting of the city council Tuesday evening the matter of com pleting the meter system on the water works was taken up with the result that Councilman P. D.

The council Is also planning to build water runways at various street crossings where now over flows are experienced during heavy rains, an appropriation of $500 having been made for this purpose. The first of the week the Board of Education accepted the bid of the O’Neill National bank for the issue of $50,000 of school bonds voted for building a new school house. The bonds are taken less the accumulated interest from April 1 to date of delivery and a premium of $1,100. This was a considerable better offer than bids re ceived from eastern brokers. It was one of the largest financial deals ever undertaken by a local concern and shows that O’Neill has reached a place of commercial and financial importance. The bonds are to be delivered at an early date. Work on the school house commences as soon as the excavations can be made, which are now under way both for the school house and library building. One company has the contract for both these buildings ana will built both at the same time. The O’Neill Post of G. A.

H. Eaton came up from the State Uni versity at Lincoln, and with the aid of Mr. Whltford and several others they succeeded In dlging out of a cliff, eight feet from the top, a skull of an enormous prehistoric animal, also another skull and hip bone about 40 feet further down. The animals, of which these bones were a part, must have been twelve or fifteen feet high. It required two teams and wagons to haul them to Ainsworth, where they were properly crated and shipped to Lincoln.

It shows what this wise man thought of beer. “At my first admission into this printing house I took to working at < press, imagining I felt a want of the bodily exercise 1 bad been used ta in America, where press work is mixed with composing. I drank only water; the other workmen, near fifty in number, were great guzzlers of beer. On occasion, I carried up and down stairs a large form of type in each band, when others carried but one in both hands. They wondered to see, from this and several instances, that the water American,as they called me, was stronger than themselves, who drank strong beer. We have an ale house boy who attended always in the house to supply the workman. My companion at the press drank every day a pint before breakfast, a pint at breakfast with his bread and cbeeBe, a pint between breakfast and dinner, a pint at dinner, a pint in the after noon, and another when he had done his day’s work. 1 thought it a detes table custom; but it was necessary, he supposed, to drink strong beer that he might be strong to labor. I endeavor ed to convince him that the bodily strength afforded by beer could only be in proportion to the grain or flour of the barley dissolved in the water of which it was made; that there was more flour in a pennys worth of bread and therefore if he would put that with a pint of water it would give him more strength than a quart of beer. He drank on, however, and had four or five shillings to pay out of bis wages every Saturday night for that muddling liquor; an expense which I was free from. At this these poor devils keep themselves always under.'1 For sale or will exchange for land my forty horse power Overland Tour ing Car.
