The special funeral train bearing the
bnllcs of Ccneral Henry W Law ton , Major
John A. Logan , Jr. , and Suigenn Major ( J L
Armstrong , the details of whose deaths in
the Philippines arc still fresh In the minds
of American people , parsed through Omaha
early Sunday morning The train consisted
of a Inggage car , a composite car and two
Pullman sleepera. It arrived In Omahn at
7 15 and us soon as the members of the
party accompanying the bodies ate their
breakfasts departure was made for Chicago
The train arrived an hour In advance of
thc'tlmo expected , and but fp Omaha people
were at the station to pay their respects to
the memory of the reliant otllcerH During
the dillro morning prominent citizen ?

thn hiwton train Tlulr dl appolntmcnt at
HH early arrival and Immediate departure
was H-en Oencral Shafter , who was In
charge of the party escorting the remains
to the east , was responsible for the change
In time The long Journe > from San I'ran-
cluco had become exceedingly tiresome to
the women and children In the patty and
while HIP train wan corning through Ne
braska Saturday night the general tele
graphed Union Pacific headquarters to
shorten the time schedule as much as pos
sible Thp result was the lessening of the
original schedule by an hour
Among the few Omaha people who were
at the station during the atop made by the
train were Major R II Hathaway and Lieu
tenant Colonel Kgan A. Kocrperot the United
States army ; Judge J. M Woolworth and
wife , Judge Lee nstelle , K Buckingham nnd
( icoigo P. We t. These paid their respects
to General Shatter and to the women of the
party.
Genera ! Shaffer was accompanied
by Mrs. Henry W Law ton nnd
four children , Mrs Logan nnd three
children , Mra Armstrong , Miss Mount , a
Hcd Cross nurbe who came from Manila
with Mrs. Lawton , Lieutenant Wilson of the
United Stales artillery , aide to General
Shaftcr , Lieutenant Colonel Edwards ,
Tortj-seventh United States volunteer In
fantry , formerly adjutant for General Lawton -
ton , Chaplain Pierce of the United States
aimy. Captain H. L King , Eleventh United
States volunteer cavalry , nnd Captain H
Sou ell , ui lstant quartermaster , United
States army , both of whom were aides on
General Law ton's staff , Mr Prltchard.
formerly ptlvntn secretary to General Law-
ton. and Major Tucker , paymaster United

Logan In addition there was a quartet of
fioldicre , composed of a sergeant , a. trum
peter nnd two privates
lrl 'f Slnj In Oinnlin.
The caskets containing the bodies of the
thiee ofllcerh wore In the composite car.
Upon the arrival of the train In Omaha ,
the side doors of this car were opened and
ovcrj one who chanced to be at the station
cmplojes and passengers levorently peered
Into the cot. It was draped with numerous
American tl.igs and filled with flowers.
The caskets were wrapped In the American
rolois and completely banked with beau
tiful lloral offerings Many of these wcro
ficsh In appearance and represented the
tokens of admirers of the dead soldiers , pro-
rented at various points along Hie journey.
On the hides of the caskets were black
ilbbons bearing the names of the oincer
occupying each one While the train tarried
In Omaha a. prtvato soldier paced on cither
hide of the car. Hcyond the fact that the
ofllccr.s composing the escort all wore uni
forms , this was the only Indication of mili
tarism about the funeral train
General Shaftcr stated "Our trip from
San Francisco has been a delightful one ,
barring the sadness of its object Wo left
the Pacific coast Thursdaj , and as soon as
wo cross the Missouri ilvei we will begin to
feel as though our Journey't , end Is In sight
JIrs Livvton nnd her chlldicn and all the
other inembeiB of tht party have stood the
long journey bravely , but some of them
are heartllj weaiy , for they have been trav
eling continually since the last day of De-
ccnil er , when the transport bearing the
bodies of the ofilcerA and the members of
tlm escort loft Manila.
"Wo will rearli Chicago tonight and
Major Logan's body will lie In state there
until Monday night , when It will bo taken to
Youngstown , Pa , for burial. The body of
Ctnoral Lawton will remain one day each In
Fort Wajno , Ind , his former homo , nnd In
Indianapolis , the capital of the state. It
"will " than bo taken to Arlington for final
Interment His funeral will be held In
"Washington Trlday afternoon at 2 o'clock
Major Armstrong vvlll also be burled at Ar
lington "
Captain Sovvell , who was one of General
Law ton's favored military friends during
the llfo of the gallant officer , said that the
Jouiney from Manila to Sin Francisco had
Jicun a decidedly rough vojagu nnd was par-
tlculailj trying upon Mrs Lawton and her
four young children. 'Mis Lawton , " ho
'paid , "has shown thp fortitude of an army
woman No one can appreciate how grateful
nlio Is to the American people for their lib
erality In subscribing to the Liwton fund.
Whiii HUH was Informed of it In San Fran
cisco upon our arrival , she was well nigh
overcome. As hoon us she reaches Washing

FESTIVITIES OF AK-SAR-BEN
Hoard of Governors IN Donlroun of
htiKKCNtlniin front
I'conlc * nl Oinnlin.
The Doard of Governors of the Ak-Sar-
ncn Is discussing the Idea of holding fes
tivities for two or three weeks this fall ,
either In September or October. As jot
the board Is undecided as to what the fes
tivities will consist of , but possibly they
will bo on the order of a street fair. Many
dlflorent and interesting parades will bo
arranged for the festival , which will close
v Ith the usual Xk-Sar-Ben parades1 and
ball. Just how extensive the proposc/d / fes
tival will bo depends a great deal upon tha
liberality of the merchants of Omaha.
The Hoard of Governors will bo glad to
receive suggestions as to the tlmo of the
paradcn and festival from business men
and those who feel Inclined to offer sug
gestions are requested to send their com
munications to postofllco box 777 , Omaha.
The governors want to get on Idea of what
Is wanted and nil suggestions sent In will
bo carefully considered. From the plans
alieady talked over It is the Intention to
glvo nn entertainment which will bo en-
tlicly new and novel and to bo continued
for a longer period than formerly.
If Is understood that the Initiations at
the den will commence a month or sl\
weelw earlier than usual this jear. The
date has not been set , ns the weather will
have a great deal to do with the completion
of those arrangements. The committee In
charge of the Initiations promise something
radically different from anything seen here
before.

"What Is ( ho outlook for building opera
tions In Omahn this jcar" How will pres
ent prices of material affect building , and
i what kinds of building will bo most af
fected' "
These questions present themselves to
ovcrjono Interested In Omaha's welfare , na
well as to prospective builders. High prices
rule for all kinds nf building material , with
no prospect for a decrease. The output of
nails and other builders' Imrdwato Is con
trolled by trusts , without chance for Imme
diate relief. Labor wages are high , with a
tondcncv to go still higher Would It pay ,
then , to build In Omaha this > car ? The
\lews of several of Omaha's leading archi
tects nro of Interest , and are here glvm
John Latenser "I have nothing to say
In particular It's too early to talk I enl >
hope for the best. Present prices of ma
terial will not deter prospective builders
In fact It Is wrong to pay thnt prices nro
high They are mcreb back to the normal
level , after a long period of depression
Majbo they arc n trlllo stiff owing to the
Hhortncss of supply , but this mat
ter will equalize Itself Labor pi lets
will probably icimiln the same , al
though the carpenters may Increase
home Hut this will not cut much
figure In any event Those people who let
contracts nt prevalent prices between this
time and nc\t Junp and Julywill undoubt
edly get value received. The building rec
ords of any city show that most building
Is done when high prices rule. It Is possible
to tell every panic period by these rec
ords , because no building Is done then ,
although prices are at rock bottom "
liiillrndoiiN for n ( inoil A cur.
T A. Hennlngcr "Indications point to n
good jear , but It H too early to speak with
iiEsuiancc. I Know of many residences of
al' ' kinds that will bo built this > ear. Those
who dealro to build will not hesitate on ac
count of prices. Material will remain high
tuid labor prices will rlso Instead of coming
down. I do not look tor an advance In hard
ware for a long time , as prices are now
normal. Xo , tb0 trusts do not control a
gteat deal of the material used. "
Charles Cloves"Prospects are good for
building this jc'.ir and there Is lots of busi
ness In sight. The increased prices on all
material will not affect those who really
desire to build , because these prkcs are go
ing to lemaln up I hope that the labor
unions , will keep wages within reach then
there will bo no bar to a jear of great ac
tivity"
Thomas H Klmball "The building pios-
pects for the present jcar are fai from
rcseate While the advance in prices of
material affects all classes of buildings , the
greatest trouble Is the uncertainty of labor
prices. The tendency of material prices at
present is slightly downward , but this will
not bo permanent. Prices are un to btuy.
Of course , at this t'mo ' of jear there is al
ways much talk of building , but the results
arc generally small compared to the volume
of talk. No , I do not care to say anything
further for publication "
J H. Dletrick "I believe a good year for
building Is In view , though all material has
advanced from ono-thlrd to one-half above
former prices I abor Is high , too. Brlck-
lojera are getting top-notch wages now , but
I understand they will ask for G cdnts more
per hour after March 1. There Is no chance
for n dccroise in price of other Kinds of
labor. 1 do not expect any decrease in the
prices of building material controlled by
trusts for ten or twenty \ears. Yes , there
will be a good demand for residences. Those
people who really want to build homes will
do so They regard high prices as they
should bo regarded as an indication of
prosperous times. Investors will not do
anything this year , as there. Is 410 demand
for store buildings except In a few desirable
locations. I have recently returned from a
trip to the western part of the state and I
find a greater spirit of building activity
there than In Omaha. This is no doubt due
to the comparative cheapness of labor. "
IillOkN for IOlH Of IIllNlllCIN.
J. P. Guth "It will be a good jear from
the prchont Indications and I look , for lots
of business. I know of a few residences
that have been abandoned or construction
delayed on account of high prices of ma
terial , but this is mot general. Many
small business buildings will be erected ,
especially In South Omaha Kvon nt the
high price of nmteilal there Is money to
bo made In erecting buildings for bus
iness purposes as an investment. Lumber
Is controlled by a trust and prices have ad
vanced for the last six months and are ad
vancing dally. There will bo no trouble
about labor as the schedules are now sct-
tlcd and contiactors know on what basis to
estimate. Yes , on the whole , prospects
are favorable and there is more work on
hand now than at this time of year for
many jears past "
Fisher & Lawrle "You may say foi
us that the outlook Is good , Several largo
warehouses will be erected , but most of
this sort of building will be done from
necessity A number of good residences
will bo put up a line one for 1)1 A. P.
Hanchctt , to cost about $12,000. Prices of
material will not make nnv dlffcicncp with
prospcctlvo builders. HrlcK work will not
cost a cent more than formerly , and ware
houses are mostly all brick. Wages of
bricklayers will raise about C conta per
hour. Prices for material are not as high
now as they were In the latter ' 80's. They
are merely back to a normal state. Yes ,
the building outlook Is good , especially so
in the countrj "

There Is a vacancy existing In the office
of storekeeper of the bonded walehouse In
Omaha and competitive examinations were
held on Filday for the purpose cf filling It
The bonded warehouse in Oninlm is a flve-
story building at 1013 and 101,1 Leavcnworth
street , and at present Is almost empty , con
taining only about $12,000 worth of goods
The principal goods stored ID the bonded
warehouse Is lead. Under the provisions of
the tariff laws lead oio Imported for smelt
ing Is not subject to duty If the ore extracted
Is exported within a shoit time after It is
smelted. The Omaha aid Grant smelting
company is the largest patrons of the government -
ernmont warehouse , earning nt times $1-
000,000 worth of ore In bond. This amount
has been reduced to nothing by the strike
In the Canada lead mines , which has re
sulted In the lestrlctlon of the output , so
that none can be Imported to this country.
For a tlmo the house was filled with tea ,
but that has all been cleaned out , nnd Omaha
Importers are paying duties upon receipt of
consignments. Another Asiatic importation
in the warehouse Is a lot of eggs , but no
self-respecting hen would own them toda > ,
for they have gone through .1 process pe
culiar to the Chinese and it is said that
some of thorn are fifty years old.
The work of the storekeeper is compar
atively light , but requires familiarity with
accounts and accuracy in computing per
centages. The salary attached is $1,100 pel
