DOUBLE ANNIVERSARY
Flfty-ono years ago Tuesday Kmery
W. Johnson, Board of Education Janitor,
enlisted In the union army, and six years
later on the tame day he was married
In the town whero he had onllsted. In
1868 he came to Nebraska, and excepting
six years that ho spent In Iowa, he has
lived In Omaha since then.
Referring to tho double anniversary of
the most Important events of his life, Mr
Johnson grow reminiscent. "I served
four years In the war," ho said, "and
when I went back to North Brookflcld,
Mass., after tho war I was Just old
enough to cast my vote."
He recalled many of the bigger battles
In widen he fought. Ho was severely
wounded In the battle of Sabine Cross,
roads, April 9, 1SGI. when a bullet pierced
his leg during a fierce sklrmlshl The
wound did not, however,' cause htm to
lose a day of service as his division was
retreating while the pursuing army was
closo at hand and kept up a continual
fire.
"I would have been captured when 1
was wounded If I hadn't stuck to my
horse." he said, "I fainted from the pain
and fell flat on my face across the
saddle horn. Hrewer, a comrade, helped
me hang on to tho saddle during the re
treat" KNOW OMAHA CAMPAIGN

"The whole Know Omaha campaign Is
so full of Interest and valuable sugges
tion to every community dweller who
would like to see his own olvlo pride re
flected In the hearts of all of his fellow
townsmen," lie writes, "that I am going
to digress from the moving picture topto
to tell something In detail about what
they did In Omaha." And then follows

Movement of Grain '
Heavy Toward South
Taking advantage of the approach of
low rates on grain to the gulf, the Mis
sourl Pacific Is doing an Immense busi
ness hauling wheat and corn to Now
Orleans, Tuesday the tons took out from
Omaha twenty cars and Wednesday loaded
out thlrty-flvc. It has a standing order
for hauling not less than twenty-flvo
cars dally all this and next week.
Owing to the fact that It has been secur
ing the bulk of the business to New Or-
leans and Galveston since the rate became
effective In September, the Missouri Pa
cific will make a, strenuous effort to
have the Interstate Commerco commls
slon grant another extenston until the
first of the year, at least. Tho rcnucst
will be opposed by tho Omaha-Chicago
roads, primarily because they are not
getting the business, but their allegation
wilt be that the haul to the gulf Is worth
a greater compensation than Is being re
ceived by the Missouri Pacinflc.
