AFFECTION FOE ANIMALS
From Thursday's Daily:
The stories of the affection of ani
mals for each other are often noted
but a new one Is reported from the
home of the H. W. Smith family here
that shows a strange affection of the
water spaniel belonging to Mr. F. G.
Fricke and the tiny Boston terrior
puppy that is owned by the Smith
family. It was first noticed when
the "water spaniel kept playing
around the Smith home and was no
ticed to be very affectionate with the
little puppy, licking it and caressing
the animal and finally the water
spaniel was detected trying to carry
the pup away with him to the Fricke
home, grasping the little dog by the
neck as the mother would and it was
with difficulty that the pup was brot
home. The water spaniel has re
mained around the Smith home and
at every opportunity had the puppy
out and washes it and is as affec
tionate as the motherdog would be.
The. dogs have attracted much atten
tion in the neighborhood.

The Burlington wfll take Nos. 37

of the tourist season between Lincoln
and Billings, out of service September
28. These trains were put on to re
lieve Nos. 41 and 42 during the rush,
and after the washouts in Wyoming
they served a real purpose. It is cer
tain however that by the end of the
month the business will have dropped
to such a level that they will not be
needed.
It is not announced whether Nos.
1 and 10 will be taken off October 1,
although it is said no reservations
have been sold on these trains be
yond the first of the month. It is
said the matter of continuing them
for a while longer is under considera
tion. Winter schedule time cards are ex
pected to be issued soon by western
roads, but there is no intimation of
what changes may be made. The
competition on through business is
said to be a bit more strenuous than
in recent years and this may keep
summer trains in service longer.

MASONIC HOME
EXPANDING AND
SECURING LAND
Now Secure the Propst Residence
Property and Have Almost En
tire 3 Block Frontage.
From Thursday" a Daily.
The Nebraska Masonic Home asso
ciation have added to their land
holdings in the vicinitv of the fine.
modern institution that they main -
tain in this citv nTid have nrnftiraiiv
a three block frontage on Elm street.
The association has purchased the
residence property owned by Robert
T T-i a. i t-a i ! :r
here from Florida this summer, and
this tract connects up very nicely
with the other land holdings of the
association and the grounds of the
Home. Some time ago purchases of
land were made to the north and
northeast of the home grounds and
which gives them a very fine site for
their future activities in the expan
sion of the home as time goes on.
As the home has the land on both
eides of Thirteenth street for at
least two blocks Eorth and it is a
thoroughfare that is not used thru
that section on account of a deep
draw, it-would bacnly ftin!? and
proper for the city to act as they
did in the matter of a small part of
Fourteenth street, and close this sec
tion and allow the Masonic Home
association the use of the street to
connect up their grounds and aid in
making that section of the city a ;
place of real beauty and a place
that will attract the eve of the visi
tor. Among the suggested plans for the
heautification of that part of the city,
it is proposed to have a boulevard
constructed leading from Twelfth
street northwest through the valley i

which would connect up with the 1 sure of mortgages.

of Hon. Wr. B. Banning. T. W. Swan,
H. Foreman. F. P. Sheldon, S. C.
Boyles and Ray Pollard, six of the
eading farmers and business men of
the county, were out yesterday to

the tract of land that will amount
to something like four acres and as
sessed the damages at J1.1S4, which
will be paid to Mr. Stull by the
county in return for the changing of
the road. Whether the offer will be
satisfactory to Mr. Stull is not known
as he has not as yet notified the
county board of commissioners as to
his intentions.

at the parlors of the First Methodist

with the promise that the one with
the biggest had would receiv two
pieces of pie instead of the ordinary
