ELLING
You must not think wrongly of us if we are perhaps a little en
thupiastic of our lare business we merely offer it as a powerful argument and as an
undeniable that mo?t of Omaha's householders consider this the best store at
which to supply their home-furnishing wants. This fact is full of significance
demonstrating conclusively that after comparing our goods and prices with what is
shown at other store prospective buyers find here better goods for less, money than
elsewhere. Think of it.' and then decide whether it is not also to your advantage
to investigate the People's store prices and goodsthe standard of quality being al
ways maintained.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., March 16 Be
nea'h a tanopy of black placed on the ro
tunda of the capltot building, iln a casket
covered llh the silken folds ot the stars
anl t'r'.pes. surrounded by thousands of
blossoms while over all sung the great
bat'Ie flat: that flew from the warship
Indiana during the naal battle off Santi
ago the body of cx-Presldent Harrison lax
In ate for nine hours today
Dnnc that t.rae fully J0.OO0 lersous
F.issed by the cof&n to take a last look at
t! c i istingulshed dead and when at 10
o lok tonight the capltol doors were
finally closed and the people told that no
core ould enter there were several thou
sands more waiting patiently In line. The
body lay In state from 1:10 o'clock In the
u'ternoon until 10 o'clock at night and not
catc during the hours was there a break or
halt in the lines which patsed rapidly by on
the right and left of the casket.
It was Indiana's day with Its dead and
nc. touchlngly was the csteeem and honor
in which General Harrison wag held by his
fellow citizens revealed. In front of the
Harrison home, along the streets through
wht h the remains were carried on their
way to and from the state house. In the
Ktca that, stretched at times a half mile
frcm the doors of the capltol, men. women
and children stood tor hours waiting their
crportunlty to pay a tribute of respect to
the dead. It was an lmmcne throng, but
cno more easy to handle, or rather one that
requited less handling, never gathered any
where. There was no Jostling, no disorder.
no disturbance of any kind. Not a single
otjectlonable feature marred the day. The
weather as perfect.
Mnrt to Mnte llue.
The hour set for the formation ot the pa
rade frcm the state house to the Harrison
home to receive the body and return with
It to the state house was 10:30 and promptly
at the time set the Infantry and artillery
were drawn up In Washington street on the
south side of the state house. At 10:4
Drlgadlcr General W. J. MeKce. command
lng the state troops, ordered the advance
and quickly wheeling Into line the Infantry
poured In a long stream along Washington
street on Its way to the house.
A denso throng had gathered around the
Harrison home on Delaware street hours
before the procession appeared. Down Del
aware street much farther than the eye
could reach the crowd paeked the sidewalks
to the doors ot the residences along each
s!Je cf the way.
By 11 o'clock part of the second division
of the funeral procession bad formed near
Thirteenth and Delaware streets. General
Carnaban, the marshal, and his staff,
mounted and attired In citizen's clothing ot
plain black, directed the movements of the
various organizations as tbey took positions
to await the approach of the other division,
which was on Its woy from the capltol
The Boys' brigade, soldiers of the future,
erect, with even step, were first past the
staff. The Seventieth regiment, General
Harrison's eld command,' soldiers whose
fighting days have gone, came next and
waited tor the moment Mhen ' they should
have the place of hontr6ehlnd the fu
neral Car. Georgt! 11. lUWflas post,GTana
Army of the Republic, many ot the mem
bers of which had fought with General Har
rlson during the war. waited lu its turn.
The Columbia and Marlon clubs, with John
L. Griffiths and Judge Lawson M. Harvey
led the clubs as they passed General Carna
ban and staff.
IIItliiRulahel Men In Line.
Then came an hour's wait, during which
a number of distinguished men mingled
with the crowds in the street. The tall
figure of Senator Charles W. Fairbanks
came up Thirteenth street. With John B.
Klam he stood and talked for half an hour,
then they were Joined by Judge Woods and
the three greeted Senator Albert J. Bever-
Idge, who came a little later. As the bar
association ot Marlon county passed the
two senators bowed gravely to the nu
merous silent greetings tbey received.
Inside the house, the magnificent casket
draped with the banner of the Loyal Legion,
had been closed for the time being and
was ready tor the Journey to the capltol.
On the casket was a large wreath ot Scotch
heather and orchids, the tribute of Gen
eral Harrison's daughter, Mary Harrison
McKee. The drawing room to the left of
the reception hall, in which the casket was
placed, was a mass of flowers. President
McKlnley had sent a magnificent design
ot Golden Gate roses and lilies ot the val
ley from tb White House conservatory,,
A great 'star.' filling one corner of the
room, was from the servants of the house
hold. A Masonic lodge of Indianapolis,
composed ot Chinamen, sent a splendid
tribute ot a harp and trumpets. A large
basket ot azaleas came from the state
officers. The offering of the Seventieth regl-
I ment was Its corps badge, a great star of
blue Immortelles.
Shortly before the undertaker completed
' his arrangements for the removal of the
' casket. Mrs. Harrison, with little Eliza
beth, both attired In deep mourning, came
In the apartment to vjew the face of their
husband and father. Mrs. Harrison was
composed, but showed plainly the traces
of her deep Borrow. Mrs, Harrison re
mained only a few minutes and then re
tired to her apartment. After she had
left the room an! just before the casket
was taken way. Russell H. Harrison and
his wife, with Mr. and Mrs. McKee, en
tered the room and looked again at the
face ot the dead.
Old ."otillfr'a Llit Snlutr.
Early In the morning Mrs, Harrison en
tered the room where ber husband lay. to
be alone with him tor probably the last
time. As she stood in the darkened cham
ber, the door of the room opened noise
lessly and an old soldier, bent with age
and shivering In the bitter cold of the
morning, came slowly in. He did not see
Mrs. Harrison and leaned over the dead
face ana tears came to bis eyes.
"Colonel," he said softly, and touched
tho white band on the general's breast
"Colonel."
Mrs. Harrison came to where he was
ctandlng and said: "I am Mrs. Harrison."
"You will excuse me." the old man said,
"for intruding on your grief, but I wanted
to see my old commander once more Just
once more. I have tried very hard to come
to Indianapolis to see him when he was
alive and never could. When I heard that
he was dead I wanted to give him the old
salute for the last time." and raising bis
band to bis torcbead In true military fash
ion the old man turned away and passed
from the room. The Incident nearly over
powered Mrs. Harrison and It was some
time before she regained her composure.
At a quarter to 1! o'clock General McKee
ordered 5,500 infantrymen, standing at "at
tention" on both sides of the street, to
"present arms." and In the reverential
hush which ensued the casket was carried
from the house and placed In the funeral
car Six sergeants from the Second regi
ment of the statt militia and two ser
geants from the Indianapolis light artil
lery carried the casket. Admiral George
Pron. representing the navy General Le
Wallace, representing the army, and Judse
Baker and Judge Dowling formed an eirort
of honor which followed. the pallbearers
from the residence to the hearse.
The aged survivors of the Seventieth
regiment marched to their place ot haor
behind the hearse and when the old. bent
soldiers of the civil war saw the black
covered casket holding the body et their
old friend and leader borne to the hearse
many ot them were affecu-u. to tears.
The Bar association aod the clubs
marched slowly by with uncovered heads
and took up their places in the procession
Arriving at the state house the eseort
was drawn up to one side and then, while
the military presented arms, the drums
rolled softly, the casket was borne Into the
state house, where, surrounded by Its guard
ot honor, with fixed bayonets. It reposed
until night.
Itrtiiriiril tn the llonir.
The body of General Harrison was re
turned to his home at 1130 tonight. It
was 10:25 when the doors ot the state house
were closed to the public. It then required
an hour to remove the body from the state
house to the hearse and make the trip to
the house. The casket was carried from
the state house by the same non-commis
sioned officers ot the Notional guard who
bad brought It In at noon.
The body was escorted by a battery of
artillery, three companies ot Infantry and
a detachment ot police Three citizens,
friends of General Harrison, watch the
casket during the night.

INDIANAPOLIS. March 16. In marked
contrast to the military and other display
of today, by which the state ot Indiana
paid its last tribute ot honor to General
Harrison, will be the funeral services to

church. The rites will be simple, dignified
and ucostentattous.

tail. The church has been richly but sim
ply decorated with draplngs ot black and
hlte and of the American flag. The en
trances have been draped In black. In the
Interior and by way of relief to the more
somber trappings the altar and rostrum
are covered with profusion of palms and
potted plants.
Owing to the limited capacity of !hc
church, which will scat only about 1,000.
and because of the great demand for teats
the committee an arrangements found It
necessary to announce that admission to
the church would be to trlends ot the family
by card. The services tomorrow are In
tended only for the friends and relatives
ot General Harrison and this decision was
deeemed advisable in order to guarantee
that the church would not be overrun with
persons who had no claim to entrance and
the friends crowded out.

President Harrison's cabinet. The list, as
announced by Secretary Tlbbott. is as fol

ber, will be reserved in the middle of the
churcj. The services will be coaducted by

Presbyterian church and for many years
the close friend of the late general, as
sisted by Rev. Dr. Samuel J. Nicolls, pas
tor of the Second Presbyterian cburcb or
St. Louis. Dr. Nicolls was selected by Mre.
Harrison to assist Dr. Haines, because of
the close friendship that had been formed
between General Harrison and Dr. Nicolls
during the summer vacations which the
Harrison family have spent In the Adlron
dacks. Dr. Haines will deliver the principal ad
dress, while Dr. Nicolls will read the scrip
tural lessons and offer the Invocation. The

acter, will be turnlsbed by the full choir of
