period ef hie excruciating agony and up to
the ' door of death Mr. Morgan wai con
scious and cheerful, fully aware that the
end was hastening and fully prepared to
meet It. Always hopeful at the least sign
of Improvement, he displayed a fortitude
that was wonderful In bis fight for Ufa.
' "I feel that I am very near the land of
peace and rest." he wrote upon a pad Sun

sketch of Hla Career.
Charles It- Morgan was born In Johnson
county, Iowa,. May X, 1W7. He received his
early education In the district sohouls- of
Adair county.. Later his parents moved to
Avoca, la., and then to Knox county, Ne
braska, where his parents took a home
stead. Mr. Morgan was graduated from the
high school at Crelghton, Neb., at the age
of Is. He taugh( several terms In district
Schools and then moved to Omaha, where be
began reading- law In the offices of Holme,
Wharton Balrd. He was admitted to
practice Haw In MM. when he was graduated
from thf Omaha Law school, then a part of
the University of Omaha.
After admission to the bar he remained
With Wharton at Holmes two years, after
which ha became a member of the luw firm
Of Holme ft. Morgan. He was deputy
county attorney under Howard Baldrige
and deputy aaalatant city attorney when W.
J. Connell was city attorney and J. H
Adams assistant. During May, iroa. he
formed partnership with his former associ
ate. J. H. Adams, under the Arm name or
AJama 4k Morgan. This arm secured a
large practice and waa joined in January
19CC. by John C Wharton, the firm being
changed to Wharton, Adams A Morgan.
Mr. Morgan was an active and energetic
member ef the Brm until September a. 1804,
when he was compelled to undergo an op.
ration for oaacer.
Mr. Morgan s political lire extended over
a period ef ten years. For four yaais re
waa secretary :of the republican city rem
mittee and was a piember of the county cx
ecutlve committee. At a conference f re
publican state candidates held at Lincoln a
year ago Mr. Morgan was unanimously
elected tresurer of the republican state com
mittee.
Work with Churches.
Mr. Morgan was at one time a member of
the Omaha Library board and Waa closely
Identified with the Interests of the Young
Men's Christian association, having served
the association In various capacities.
Boon after moving to Omaha he Joined
the First Baptist church, then located at
Fifteenth and Davenport streets. For five
years he was, president of the Nebraska
Baptist Young People's union, and after re
tiring from that office his advise was con
stantly sought on all phases of young peo
ple' work In the Baptist church. Ten years
ago he transferred his membership to the
Calvary Baptist church, where he left two
lasting testimonials In the form of a Sunday
morning Bible class and the first boys' club
organised In that church.
Mr. Morgan held a warm place In the
hearts of the members of Calvary Baptist
church. He m really loved by those who
knew htm well. In his relations with his
fellowmen, Mr. Morgan recognised no dis
tinctions of race, creed or class.
Mr. Morgan waa unmarried. Since early
November his mother, father and brother
have been at his bedside. His only sister
died in 1902.
Mr. Morgan' was afflicted with throat
trouble for a long time. Last September he
went to Chicago and underwent an opera
tion for cancer, but that did not afford re
lief. While all hoped his life might be
spared the malady had gained such a hold
that his physicians said It would be but a
matter of time before the end would come.

Per and Ole Olson set out to hit the trail
back to Nome, Alaska. They were romyed
en route to Nome, the brother was killed
and Ole wounded. Half dead, Olson was
taken to Nome and from there to Seattle,
where he lay inn hospital for a year,, and,
although a bullet had passed through his
head, his life waa saved. Hla eyesight,
however, wus forever Impaired, one eye
being totally blind and the other very
much Injured. , .
His long Illness; the exposure and the re
sults of the other wound, left Olson's
health In a very low state. The former
strength of which he ryid been so proud,
was gono, and he found himself, with little
ambition to attempt to learn some trade
by the aid of which he might earn a liveli
hood with hla ; remaining senses. So . he

Improvements at Armonr's.
What the mechanics of the electrical and
carpenter sliupa of Armour & Cq.'s pWnt
Jocosely call their "raise" has lately been
brought ubcut by the management. At all
events It has added much to the comfort
of these men. The fact Is that tho floors
occupied by these mechanics have been
raised eighteen Inches. The reoron for this
'lay In the fact that every storm flooded the
floors as they were originally. Storm water
from Q street was admitted underneath and
often covered the lloors several Inches and
left behind Inches of mud The manage
ment of late learned of the condition end
ordered the remedy.
lOiuploymvnt Aa-rnt Victims.
Beveral vlotluis of the machinations rf the
professional employment agencies landed In
South Omaha last night In a stranded con
dition. Mcst of them had exchined th -ir
hard earned cash for worthless recomm?n
datlnns to the timekeepers of vat It us pack
ing houses. They were mcst'.y young fel
lows, ignorant of city ways. Eeveial who
had no money were given places to s'.e?p In
the city Jail, and some provided lodging cf
their own. There Is little dcubt bur that
they can recure work with the packers, who
have been- short of help mcst of the ynr,
but the recommendations of the tmpljy
ment agent represent Just so much rmny
wasted.
rarins Decision Expected.
A decision from the court on tho Ml
sc.uri avenue paving muddle is expected to
day. Judge Troup Is said to have Informed
AsKletant City Attorney J. D Ringer t
that effect Saturday afternoon. Tho lie
cisisn will be landed down at 1:30 p. m.
The city officials express seme anxiety In
the matter. There are not many who ex
press great hope of winning this case. The
attempt to pave this unlucky street waa
shown to have been In about as bad a mud
dle as the present deplorably Imp-stable,
mucky and unsightly condition of the street
Itself.
