BUta to Graed Exalted
Reler.
At ' yesterday moraine hundreds In
Omaha (ueased that the packing trades
strike had been settled. The cause of the
guess wa the continued blowing of ths
siren whistle at the Avery Manufacturing
company's plant,, but the surmise was in
correct. The whistle blew to herald ths
special train , bearing- the California Elks
on their way to the national meeting of ths
lodge in Cincinnati.
Ths train came in over ths Union Paolflo
with colors flying and a happy party of 104
members of the organisation aboard. In
addition to ths members of the party there
was plenty of edibles and "drinkables" on
the train. One car was loaded with de
licious California fruits and wine and all
the brother Elks in this city who went to
the train were given generous bounties.
The party came in over the Union Pa
clflo from the west and wjmt east via the
Illinois Central. A stop of about ten min
utes was made here. Clarence - Haydock,
commercial agent of the Illinois Central in
Ixs Angeles, was in charge of the train
and F. L. Dow, superintendent of dining
car service, and Trainmaster Munlfee of
Fort Dodge met the train at Omaha and
went east, Mr. Manlfee as far as Fort
Podge and Mr. Dow to Chicago.
Omaha Supports Baltimore Mil.
Omaha Elks will be represented at ths
grand lodge meeting In Cincinnati, which
opens Tuesday, by George P. Cronlc, past
grand exalted ruler; L. C. Oibson and Dis
trict Deputy George W. Shields, it is im
probable that any others will go from ths
local lodge, as no effort has been made to
excite a pilgrimage to the central meeting
this year. Each of the eight other Elks'
lodges In ths stats will be represented by
one member.
Ths Omaha and Nebraska delegates prob
ably will support ths candidacy of W. J.
O'Brien of Baltimore for grand exalted
ruler, although there has been no definite
expression on this point. The contest for
ths place la 'said to lie between O'Brien
and Bam H. Needs of Cleveland. Nebraska
will have no Candidates for grand lodge
positions this year hut other 'states In
ths' west will have several.. Among them
ars Fred C. Robinson Of Dubuque,' la.,
who is out for the position of grand sec
retary, next In Importance to grand ruler,
and Colonel R. J. 'Woods of Sioux Falls,
who has been placed in line for grand es
teemed leading , knight. There may be
others from ths west, but they ars being
played as dark horses.
A determined light Is. on for the secre

Mother Gets Custody
of Child.
Jessie Adele Dickinson Lyman obtained
a divorce from Dr. Henry Stoddard Lyman
In record-breaking time yesterday. In less
than two hours after the tiling of the pe
tition and the answer tho Judge's decree
was on record.
Mrs. Lyman Is ths daughter of Edward
Dickinson, formerly general manager of
the Union Pacific railroad and now vice
president of the Orient and her husband
is the so 9 of C. W. Lymaa, president of
the Commercial National bank. The mar
riage of the young couple took place about
four years ago, and they are the parents
of a son about a year old.
It is Impossible at this time to learn upon
what grounds the dlvorcs was sought and
obtained, for the proceedings in court were
rushed through with ths utmost secrecy.
A little before 11 o'clock W. W. Morsman,
attorney for Mrs. Lyman, met Judge Sears
In Judge Day's court room snd held a brief
whispered conversation with him. A few
minutes later Mr. Morsman filed both the
petition end the answer in the divorce case
In ths clerk's offloe, but h allowed ths
papers to go out of his possession only
long enough for the clerk to use the filing
stamp on the covers. Even the olerk was
not permitted to peruse the documents.
At 1 o'clock Judge Sears met the plaintiff
and her attorney in his court room on ths
top floor of the Bee building, and after a
hearing that must necessarily havs been
brief granted tho decree prayed for. Mrs.
Lyman was given the custody of her child.
It is understood that Dr, Lyman did not

city.
WILL GET AFTER SQUATTERS
Claim Agent Proposes to Exeente
Law Aa-alnst ghack
Dwellers.
Active efforts are to be made by the city
this summer to eject squatters from the
streets or compel them to pay rent, accord
ing to Claim Agent George C. Cockrell.
For years the municipality has been trying
to get its streets In the lower part of town
along the river cleared from the small and
dilapidated dwellings. Out of a total of 150
about one-third have been compelled to
move, while close to an even hundred re
main. Suits against most of these tenants have
been undertaken and judgment against them
obtained by the city, but only a few have
moved. Now Claim Agent Cockrell Is going
to make a demand upon the mayor and
council for authority and power to forcibly
eject the squatters and remove their build
ings 'from the public domain. In cases
where the rights of the publlo ars not
interfered with tho squatters ars allowed
to stay if they will sign leases and pay
rent They are ck'stered at different point
in the lower streets from Pino north to
I sard and some of them "oPeupy ground
that ths city does not use until soma
business enterprise makes trafflo on ths
street a Some of the squatters contest the
right of the city 'to take possession of the
land they have used for years,-but most of
them hsvs lost on the plea of adverse
possession.
