Plarr Can Never Be Filler!.
Savg Civic Body’*
Resolution.
Member* of the Greater Omaha
committee, in meeting Friday, paid
glowing tribute to the memory of
Everett Buckingham.
• J. E. Davidson, chairman of the
meeting, read a resolution, eulogizing
the leader and companion who died
February 2".
The resolution as adopted by the
committee Is:
A giant has fallen in our midst.
A voice powerful In counsel is si
lent. A leader of men and events
has passed away and we. his asso
ciates and friends, are met to pay
tribute to his memory.
Most of us have known him inti
mately for year". \Ve have seen him
si the golf grounds and the club
bouse when the cares of life were
cast aside and the hoy in the man
was at play.
We have met him at the home
fireside when heart speaks to
heart Its Inmost secrets.
We have met. with him in civic
movements when the general wel
fare was our concern, and we have
aat with him at the council tahle
over matters of business when
grave questions were at stake and
the utmost powers of the man were
put forth, and out of It all and
everywhere he rises a splendid
character worthy of all respect and
admiration.
His presence radiated cheer and
sunshine, snd always ha was ah
optimist.
We do not mean that hope led
him always to look upon the bright
side and to search for the silver lin
ing of the clouds, but rather that ,
he had a profound conviction that
the sober judgment of mankind
would go onward and upward and
that the years to come would
he and must be better than the
years that had passed, for with
Tennyson he doubted not that
“through the ages an IncrVasing
purpose runs and the thoughts of
man are widened with,the process
of the suns.”
He. was thus a man of faith and
the man of faith doubts not that a
bounteous harvest will follow the
seed time If the sower has done
hi* work well.
It was certain from the begin
ning that he must succeed In busi
ness. for when he accepted employ
ment he gave his utmost—great
Shlllty.
It was largely through his efforts
in various positions that the Stock
Yards company has com* to its
present proud place as one of the
financial and industrial Institutions
of this state So necessary to busi
ness and the general welfare.
He was In the forefront of al
most every civio movement and
was an activ# and leading figure In
Ak Har-Ben. one of Its board of
governors from the beginning giv
ing liberally of time and money to
serve Omaha hy bringing Into our
midst. In October each year, thou
sands to participate with us In that
festival week.
No mere words can measure the
loss to this city and state through
his death.
Ilia vacant chair will never he
filled. Other* may take his place at
the head of business institutions
and of this board and In clvio
movements.
Their work, however, snd service
will he different, for Everett Buck
ingham made a place of his own
which no other can fill.
The world has been made richer
and better because of his life. His
work and memory is his inherit
ance to us.
When he died he was respected
and honored and loved by all. Ene
mies he had none.

Blackface Arli?t Say* He Ha*
Worn Same Stage Shoe*
45 Years.
By EDWARD BLACK.
James McIntyre of the vaudeville,
team of McIntyre and Heath sat in
his dressing room at the Orpheum
the other afternoon, his face masked
with a covering of burnt cork and
wearing the habiliments of hts act.
“I have worn these same stage
shoes for 45 years," the famous min
strel said. "Many years ago Charles
Evans of the team of Evans and Hoey
traded shoes with me. Po you re
member Evans and Hoev In their
Parlor Match?' ”
McIntyre told how he and Heath
met In San Antonin In 1*74 and have
bepn together ever since.
"Before I went to San Antonin I
had a partner whose name was Bu
|er and who htrams Involved In some
difficulty at Memphis." McIntyre said.
"I got off the train outside of Mem
phis to advise Butler that a detecthi
was after him. When I reached San
Antonio my clothes were covered with
mud and I was a sorry looking spec
tacle.
BA Miles From Railroad.
"At that time San Antonio was BO
miles from a railroad and had a pnpu
latlon of ahnuf. 4.00ft. There were
many gamblers, cattlemen and Mex

lad of 17 then and T had some nice
stage elnthe*. I asked the manage
ment to give me a chance to show
what I could do. The best clog
dancer at that time was Steve Rogers
and I was next to Rogers.
"They paid me $25 a week. After
the show we went to a fandango and
my partner. Rutter, had the only silk
top hat In the town. At the fandango
Sam Bass and .lop Fowler shot But
lers silk hat off and frightened him
speechless A team of Howard anil
Heath ramp down from Chicago, and
that is how T met Heath. We Just
were drawn to each other and have
stuck together ever since."
Big Gambling House.
In the old days of San Antonio,
McIntyre stated he saw a cattleman
lose $75,000 In gold In one night at a
gambling house. Mitchell's gambling
house, he related, had 150 tables. He
