Ax UNTLEASANT task has been set down for
the United States marshal , at St. Louis , Miss
Phoebe W. Couzzius , the daughter and suc
cessor in ofllco of the late marshal , J. E. D.
Couzins. While Marshal Couzins was con-
lined to his bed , unable to attend to business ,
his able and loving daughter , Miss Phuebo ,
attended to it for him. The late marshal was
n niember of Missouri ledge , No. 11 , of the
Independent Order of Odd-Fellows and also
of the Odd-Fellows' Mutual Aid association.
The last named body is comixiscd solely of
members of the I. O. O. F. , but is a separate
incorporated body. The bcncilt derived from
membership is $1,000 , to bo paid the family
ut the death of a member. During Marshal
Couzin's illness a member from each body
called regularly each week , jiaid the weekly
benefits and made their rejwrts. It
was on one of these visits that the visitor In
formed Miss Phoebe Couzins of dues accruing
in both societies. She instructed him to re
tain an amount suflleicnt to pay both dues ,
which ho did. The young man departed and
the matter passed out of Miss Couzius' mind ,
until after the death of her father , when shu
received notice that ho had been suspended
from the Mutual Aid association for nonpayment
ment of dues. Inquiry brought out the fact
that the young mun did not fulfill his promise
of paying the dues und the Mutial Aid asso-
i-iationnow holdstothOBUsncusion. Thoques
tion of payment is now in debate and there is
Rome possibility of its being paid without re
course to measures which Miss Couzins says
BUO would dislike very much to take against
the association. J , E. U. Couzins was a char
ter member of the Missonrl ledge I. O. O. F. ,
organized la St. Louis in 1345. Ho was alsc
one of the organizers of the Mutual Aid asso
ciation , and never , as long as ho was a mem
ber , did he fall behind hi his dues.

of Cut Off lake , nnd Ihoothor land lying
immediately to the east , would be sur
prised at the wonderful change that is

men with teams and graders.
Instead of the supposed marshy
island , there is a strip of dry , elevated
land , with eleven miles of turnpike well
graded , and seven or eight more miles
of it yet in construction. The work has
boon going on so quietly that the now
assured utilization of the island will bo
a surprise to the great mass of the
people.
Some 1,200 acres of this country hnvo
boon purchased by a syndicate known
us the East Omaha , Land Company ,
composed of leading railroad men
nnd real estate dealers in Omaha.
It is their intention to increase their
possessions by the addition of 800 acres
lying near it , and this great tract of
2,000 acres is to bo the future great
manufacturing quarter of Omaha.
The land is high and dry , and the
greater portion of it has never boon
submerged. In location it is admirably
situated for the purpose for which it is
intended to utilize it. Its nearest point
is only a milo from the Omaha post-
ofllco.
Several ; manufacturing companies
have already made arrangements
to build factories on this tract ,
and the already assured works
will employ over 1,500 men. Among
these is iv box factory that will
employ nearly 400 men , steve works
that will employ 150 , besides glass
works und other manufactories , each of
whichwill give employment to a largo
force of workmen.

land company to spend $20-
000 this fall in improvements

enough to use in the intended improve
ments this full , the approach from
Grace street is being grudud and put in
bhnno to get on and olt the island , which
at this approach is only a few feet from
the mainland.
The B. &M. nnd Union Pnoi'fio rail
way companies will build , a track ex
tending the whole length of the island
on its south side , nnd will extend traekn
to any portion of the tract wished by the
manufacturers who are to locate there.
Work on the main track is to bo com-
inonccd immediately und is to bo fin
ished in thirty days.
The so-cullod island is about two
miles long and two wide , but it re no
longer an island us it is joined on the
southeast with the mainland. It Is the
intention of the syndicate to put good
turnpikes around every forty acres , and
lot the parties to whom the land is sold
plat it and make whatever other divia
ions they wish.
Some of the factory sites have already
boon selected , and oven spots for future
homos have boon picked Out.
The superintendent of the work of
improving this tract is in the hands of
Potter & C'obb , the enterprising real es
tate firm located in the board of trade
building on the corner of Farnuin and
Sixteenth street.
The opening of this island for manu
facturing purposes will bo hailed with
delight by all far-sighted citizens of
Omaha , as this assures the permanent
prosperity and future greatness ol
Omaha beyond any reasonable doubt.
