The pallbearers have not yet been chosen, but will be among the close per sonal friends of the decessed. Rev. Kuhns has charge of the funeral arrangementa. ketch of His Career. A. D. Jones was born on a farm which Is now Incorporated within the limits of the city of Philadelphia eighty-nine years ago, within four miles of Independence hall. The early years of his life wsre spent upon the farm, and from there, aftor more than the average amount of study generally secured by a farmer's son, he sntsred the ranks of the pedagogues as a school teacher, keeping ahead ot the per manent settlements of the weet, teaching frontier schools and trading with ths pio neers, of which he was so excellent a type. While teaching school he studied sur veying, and when he arrived In ths state of Iowa In the early 50's he began to prac tice that profession. He made a survey of the original townslts of Des Moines and Surveyed the proposed town of Wlnter.et before coming to Council Bluffs, In which, place he arrived In 1852. At that time there was little of the town ot Council Bluffs. It wss known to the residents of the frontier counties of Iowa as Kanes vllle and consisted of a settlement of per sons more or less nomadlo In tbelr hab its, who had constructed in Irregular form a number of houses, where they engaged principally In trading with the Indians, who then held undisputed sway on the prairies of Nebraska and made life hai- ftrCu .Of tue ailjr etfiliera la iiie noriii- ern part of the state, the maasacre at Spirit Lake taking place several years after Mr. Jones came to western Iowa. The first regulsr survey of the town of Council Bluffs was made by blm and he suggested the present name of the place, which was at that time used to designate a community long since dl.perssd, which maintained a small settlement on the Iowa bluffs opposite Bellevne. Neb. The suggestion of the surveyor was almost Im mediately adopted and the town of Coun. lt Bluffs became the poetofflcs of that name. The grass-covered prairies lying beyond the morass along ths Missouri river west of that stream bad an attraction for many of the residents of western Iowa, and from time to time at various points along the river they made unsuccessful at tempt, to establish homes, but they were foredoomed to failure, as the title to the lend was In the Indian tribes, and until the Indian title could be extinguished by treaty the government looked with jealous eye upon the white squatters, who were regarded as Interlopers by the aborigines, ths Indians msklng loud clamors for their removal. Firs Settlers la Omaha. In 1852 a number ot residents of Coun cil Bluffs determined to brave not only the dangers of trouble with ths Indians, but ths displeasure of the government and ta aettle themselves as squatters upon ths Indisn lands wlthtn what Is cow the bor ders of the city of Omaha. Tha three men to make the first attempt at locating land upon ths present site of the city were A. D. Jones and two brothers by tha name of Brown. In November, 1S53, they pad dled In a dilapidated canoe across the river. landing near the foot of Davenport street, and mads a rapid survey ot the land. Mr. Jonea shortly after this "squatted" upon a tract of ltd acres of land, the eastern bor der ot which Included the well known Wil low springs, tha land in Forest Hill ad dition being part of that tract This claim hs called Park Wild, by which it was known until It paaaed Into other hands and was platted as additions to ths city. One piece of the tract be designated as "Purgatory," a name by which It was known Dyspepsia! AMD Llvor Diooaoo CURED BT Da. Prenct's Golden Medical Discovery.

The resson for this name, as told by Mr. Jones, wss thst whils run ning ths first survey of the Isnd hs found himself In tho bottom of a rather deep ravine, clothed with a heavy growth of trees, so thst the only direction In which he could look wss upward. With thoughts of Indian, ever In his mind, a dsnger from ambush not being Impossible, be ssld that between thst pises snd purgatory there would be little cbolce. In 1864 the Omsha Town company waa formed and under the direction ot the board of directors Mr. Jones mads the original survey of the city. It Is not gen erally known that the base line of thla survey was tsken at what is now Davenport atreet. A year ago Mr. Jones said that one of the Cornerstones, placed by blm at that time, could be found at or near the preeent Union Pacific headquarters. After the survey of the town sits Im migrants begsn to srrlvs from the eastern ststes snd for some time there wss con siderable trouble over the conflicting claims of persons who hsd endesvored to settle upon the same tracts of land. All ot the residents wers "squstters," without rights which eould be enforced In any court, snd, In fact, there was no court of competent Jurisdiction to hear and deter mine cauaes. With this condition confront ing the settlers they decided to form a court of claims to adjudicate between the conflicting Interests of the "squstters." Of thst court Mr. Jones wss made Judge and a clerk and sheriff were selected to en force the decrees. This court continued only until the land was msde snbject to entry under the lend law. of ths United States, when it was formally dissolved, but out of it grew the claim cluba which flour ished for aeveral years afterward. First Postmaster af Omaha, In 1854 sttsr the town hsd been sur veyed there wss an attempt made to have a poatofllce established at Omaha. Through the efforts of Bernard Henn of Iowa thla waa done, but no arrangements wsre made fof the transmission of mall between the new postofflce and the outalde world, the moat western route at that tlms in this part of the country being Council Bluff.. In this contingency Mr. Jones acted as mall carrier, ha having been appointed post msster May 6, 1854. The carrying of the mail by the postmaster without a contract with tha government resulted In a claim for a comparatively email amount, which has nsver been paid. When the late' J. Sterling Morton was a member of the cabi net of Qrover Cleveland he looked over aome old records relating to the territory ot Nebraska In the archives In Washing ton and wrote to Mr. Jones, complimenting him upon the correctness and lucidity of his reports ss postmaster at Omaha, and referred to the claim for compensation as mall carrier, which at that time had fallen Into oblivion. In December, 1854, Governor Cuming called for an election of territorial officers snd Mr. Jones waa chosen as a member of the council, or upper house of the as sembly, December SO of that year. He served for one term and then realgned. In 1858 he was elected ss a member of the city council, but resigned that position a short time afterward. Always Had Faith la Omaha. Mr. Jones was always enthuslastla over the future of Omaha and at the first cele bration ot tne fourth ot July wbtcn waa ever held upon the soil of Douglaa county he proposed tho toast which has sines become a fact, "Omaha, the Future Me tropolis ot Nebraska," but then Mr. Jones has sine, said, be had no idea that he would ever see the town which was then only so on psper have more than 10,000 Inhabitants, which wss the ultima thule of the .anguine hopes of the founders. Aside from his work in laying ths foun dation, of tha city which outgrew hi. warm est hopes. Mr. Jones took an active interest In the affairs of the atate. In 185S he was elected secretary and treasurer ot the Old Settlers' society, which office he held as long sa the organization continued active. He was ens of the first members of the Ne braska Agricultural society and until very recently continued to take considerable in terest in the work of the State Historical aoclety. He was one of the first residents of the ststs to take prominent part in the work of the Independent Order ot Odd Fel lows, but In later years was not promi nently identified with the organization. When Capitol lodge No. , Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, was organized In Omaha hs was ths second msn to receive the Blue lodge degree in the city. The lodge then met cn Dodge street near the Home ot George Armstrong. After the admission ot Nebraska ss a stste ot ths union Mr. Jonea retired from political lite, and for a time conducted a general store on Twelfth street near Dodge. He was a man of varlsd business experi ence, not content with the slow gains of or dinary commercial life and traveled much, trading and handling property. Tbeae trlpa took him over much of tha great west and, even to the republic of Mexico, but from the time he arrived on the western bank ot the Missouri Omaha was his horns. In 1847, In Jackson county, Missouri, he msrrled Sophronla Reeves of Virginia, who turvlvis blm. They had no children, but Mra. Mackcy, a fester child, resides at the horns with the widow. Not Over-Wise. There is an old allegorical picture of a girl scared at a graaahopper, but In the act of heedlessly treading on a snsks. This is paralleled by the maa who spends a Isrgs urn of money building a cyclone cellar, but neglects to provide bis family with a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholsra and Diar rhoea Remedy as a safeguard against bowel complaints, whoas victims outnumber thoss of ths cyclone a hundred to one. This rem edy is everywhere recognized as ths most prompt and reliable medicine in use tor these diseases. Early Cattle Shipments Besrla. HURON 8. D.. Aug. 30. (Special.)

DEMANDS OF STREET CARMEN Ken Discharged for Joining the low Uilon Kan Be EeinnUtei COMMITTEE TO MEET COMPANY OFFICERS Belief Expressed that Reejaest Will Be Acceded aad There Will Ba No Necessity for Extreme Measares. "We do not want a strike and ws da aot apprehend a strike, but the company must reinstate all the men dlarharged yeeter day afternoon or we will ba forced to aa unpleaaant alternative," ssld a leader ot the Street Car Employes' union at I o'clock this morning. Street car employes, with other organ ized labor men, held a meeting at Labor temple last nlghl, which was continued until about S o'clock this morning. Tha action of the Omaha Street Railway com pany In antagonizing tha union aad dis charging twelve men who Joined tho anion and refused to sever their connection with It, was ths subject of discussion. Various methods ot dealing with ths matter were propoaed and discussed, but the prevailing sentiment wss msnltestly toward conserv ative action, and it was finally decided to ask the company for a conference before resorting to drastics measures. It waa decided to place the matter in ths hands of committees which would seek a conference with the officials, and to thla end the car men named a committee and authorised it to act Jointly with ths ar bitration committee from Central Labor union In meeting General Manager Smith and Superintendent Tucker of the company, this meeting to be sought today. This Joint committee waa Instructed to dsmand the reinstatement of all the men die charged yesterday, without making any threat or offering any coercion or Intimida tion as a meana of enforcing the demand. Naturally the demand will carry with it an ultimatum, which will mean a strike It the company refuses to comply with the requisition. Wllsoa to Assist. Tom L. Wilson, fourth vies president ot the International Association ot Machinists, who Is In charge of the machinists' strlks on the Union Pacific, will act with tha Joint committee in Ita conference with the omclala. Mr. Wilson and other strike leaders took active parts In the meeting last night While the street car men who were at the meeting last night seem determined in their undertsklng none of them seem to believe that a strlks will ensue. The impression prevslls that the officials will grant the conference and accede to the demands, and that this will clear up all trouble. There Is no other demand except that tha men dis charged be reinstated. The men dee'ara they have no grlsvance outside of this. There were about sixty or seventy-flvs street railway employee at last night's moetlng. It was said that many were de terred from attending by the unfavorable weather and other, were unable for dif ferent reasons to be there. The charter of the new union was clossd with a total of 22? names, three hsvlng been added last night. It was given out that Vice President Wilson of ths machinists would communi cate with President Mahon of the Amalga mated Association of Street Railway Em ployes of Amsrlca at once and that Mr. Mahon probably would be la Omaha this week to assums charge ot the proceedings for the men. STRIKERS RETURN TO WORK Abowt Tweaty-Flve Car Mea Rcsame Datlcs at I'aloa Paelae Shop. A sudden and unexpected turn In Union Pacific strlks affairs occurred yestsr- day, when between twenty and twenty-five car men returned to work. It is said that all of these are union mea and it is be lieved their example will be followed by others Tuesday. As a matter of fact, offi cials ot ths company express the opinion thst this defection means a fatal blow to the strike of ths csrbullders, which they hold was without Just cause or grievance. It is believed that Tuesday will see ths last of the csrbullders' strlks, that all ths strikers will have returned to work by that time. There is one contingency, how ever, which might obstruct this course and thst is for ths car men's national or ganisation to haaten to the rescue ot the striking shopmen by sanctioning their strike and admitting them to its member ship. This, however, is not regarded as a probability, inasmuch as ths csr men's ef forts to negotiate terms of alliance with ths nstlonsl body have been unsuccessful since ths strlks began. National President Ronemus has exsrclsed an apparent in difference toward his followers her. sine their trouble originated and those union men who did not strike asssrt that ha is wholly out of sympsthy with ths action of the striking csrbullders and will sot ba Influenced to change his attitude. Mr. Ronamus was in Omaha during th. earlier stage, of the machinists, black smiths and. boiler makers' strike and rs vlswsd the general situation with reference to tha csrbullders. It may bs remembered that about that time the carbutldara were agitated, aa element among them going fa vorable to a strlks ia eonjunctloa with the other shopmen. This dissatisfaction lsd to a ssrles of conferences between a committee from the car men and tha officials which resultsd in an agrsement slgnsd by both parties binding tha csrbullders for on. year to a piecework or premium system contract. The company maintains that when ths car guilders struck they violated the conditions of this contract, and to offset this charge ths csrbullders clsim that they wers mis represented in thoss conferences by tbelr committee and thst thsrefors they did not Consider themsslves under real obligations through that agreement. It Is a peculiar fact that of tha 115 car mea wha struck August 18. ths vast ma jority were nonunion men. The officials et ths Union Pacific feel satisfied that since the mea who have returned to work ar. union men, the strlks is virtually at aa end. so fsr as ths car builders ara con cerned. Said ono of ths Union Pacific official, ye. terdsy morning: "The men have evidently eome to their senses. They had nothing to strike for la ths first place; they wers stampeded out and will doubtless be stampeded back ia. Tba men did not have any conference with us before taking this courss, but. as we understand It, simply went to the shops this morning and asked to be taken back. Five or six wsnt bsok during th. week, one at a time, and nothing was said ot it." As ths strlks of the car mea hsd no effect on ths strlks of ths motlvs power shopmen their action la returning. It Is maintained. can have none. The boiler makers, machm lata and blackamlths advised against tha atrlke of ths car mea for some time, hold ing thst It would simply increase tha flnsn clal obligations of ths central organization without adding the leaat bit ot material strength or facility to, ths original strlksrs Gulcials vl the local car weu't trta&lia tton wsre asksd tor aa expression as ta ths action of their men in returning ta work and If all would go back, but they declined ta talk upon the subject. Many-other strik ers regard this dsfsetloa aa a wise course la view ot th. deficient organisation aod tha lack of financial resources ot tha esr men. Tha tleup of the building trsdes anion, still exists st ths aew shops, not hammer, brush or trowel having been in action yes terday. Whether ths contending factions will ba able to eoma together Is not known, but nothing tangible Is looked for before Tues day, Monday being Labor day and a holiday for tha workmen, anyway. ACTS AS AN ADVISORY BOARD Orgaalsaloa of a Committee et Lay Memhere ta Advise Chrletlaa . Charches. Judge W. W. Elabaugh has returned from Lincoln, where he attended ths first meeting at tha ministerial advisory com mittee ot the Christian church of the state. At this meeting permanent organi sation was effected by the election ot Judge Slsbaugh as chairman and Rsv. W. A. Baldwin of Lincoln as secretary. The members of the committee, la addition to Jndga Slabaugh. ara J. B. Cobby of Beat rice and 8. Roberts of Ulysses. The sec retary Is not a member of tha board and waa aelected because ot his personal knowledge ot the condltloa ot tha churches at tha state and tha qualifications ot many of tha ministers. Tha board has prepared three blanks, one of whlob will ba sent to all applicants for positions as preachsra in . this state, another to tho persons whom they give as references and another to the churches in need of pastors. Ths first blank gives the applicant, aa opportunity to Inform the committee as to his previous work and pressnt condition, the second permits ths refereaeea to corroborate the statements of the applicant, while the third requests ths church to set forth what It wants in tha way of a pastor and how much it Is abl to pay, with such other information as may ba desired by a preacher going to a strange community. Tha work af ths board is merely ad visory, neither church nor pastor being bound by Its action. Ths ststo board au thorised the members to hold four meet ings a ysar, the expense of which Is to ba boraa by tha beard, but tha members have decided to meet upon tha call of the chairman and to render no expense ac counts until It hss been demonstrated that tha plan la a auceeas.
