PIONEERS MEET AT FLORENCE Reunion and Ficnio Starts Saturday Morning at Ten O'clock. RELATIVES AND FRIENDS INVITED Meeting; ts to Be Entirely Informal, with Few Set Speeches and Eaeh to Be Limited Pioneers to Take Baaket Lnnchea. The third annual picnic and reunion of the Nebraska Pioneer's association or Douglas county will ,e held at Florence beginning at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. This reunion Is not only for the members of the society, but for all of their relatives and friends. The midwinter reunion is exclusively for the members of the society as there Is no building large enough to ac commodate all of their descendants, so the fall meeting at Florence Is Intended to bring together not only all of the old set tlers, but all of their children and their children's children, so that the tlea which hold the old folks may be extended to their families. The meeting will be entirely Informal. There will be few set addresses and each of these will be limited, so that a number of persons will be permitted to talk and yet this phase will not be too much extended. Dana am Makes Arrangement a, , The arrangements have been In the hands of Martin Dunham and he has selected committees on refreahments and reception. L. V. Shplley of Florence will have charge of the refreshments and Harry CI aff-borne is chairman of the reception committee. Assisting him will be Charles H. Withnell. Mrs. Jeftcoat, M. J. Feenan, Miss Feenun, Joseph B. Koesters and two women yet to be selected. Committees will meet promptly at 10 o'clock and will be "on the Job" all day. There will be barrels of lemonade pro vlded by the society, but tha picnic will be of the basket variety and each family is expected to bring provisions for Its mem bers and for as many more aa may be ex pected to be ita guests. This reunion coming at the close of the soldiers' reunion which has been In pro gress all the week, will have a decidedly military feature, as a number of the pion eers who do not usually attend tne winter meetings are now here at the soldiers' re union and will stay to visit their old as sociate who were not in the civil war. One of Omaha's Oldest Pioneers Celebrates Eighty-First Birthday Dr. George L. Miller Was a Leading Citizen of Omaha Before the Civil War. Friday marked the eighty-first birthday of Dr. George L.

The police found it necessary to break up a ham-bone party at 1108 South Ninth street Thursday night. Lizzie Patton and her seventeen guests, both black and white, became so hilarious that the disturbance could be heard for several blocks. A ham bone party Is one of those delightful func tions at which a boiled ham Is set out aa the piece de resistance. By the time the ham is conaumed the guests have worked themselves to a point of Jubilance and then they sing over the bone. It Isn't necessary that all the guests sing the same tune, In the same key, nor In unison, Just so they make a noise. The result is nothing less than a Jamboree and the services of the police sre usually necessary to quell the disturbance.
