Including four lots, and H0.00J fash for fitting It for the purpose for which It was to be used, to the Old Peo ple s Home. It directed that the Rift must be accepted within six months of Miss VlloOns death and that the residence must be occupied and used Immediately thereafter, The Old Peoples Home Informs the court In Its petition that according to architects' estimates (10,000 Is not enough for fitting the residence for Us new jiur pose and asks the court to allow tt eale of the residence and the use of the pro ceeds with the 110,000 for the establishment oi a home at a new site already secured. The defendants named arc Prospect Hill Cemetery association, Child Saving .Institute, Omaha City mission, the Creche. -Associated Charities and the city of Omaha. The defendant charltablo Institu tions will contest the suit, alleging that the Old Peoplo's Home has failed to oc cupy the Wilson residence and has broken conditions of the will and that the bo quesU should revert to tho estate.

Sh6w us the garbage can and give us the right to go to It, and I'll remember you In me prayers."

The traffic affected by the proposed In crease in lumber freight rutes from the south, which proposed Increase Is now being contested by the lumbermen and manufacturers of Omaha and other points In a hearing before the Interstate Com merce commission at St. Louts, will aver age 23,00) cars of lumber annually. K. J McVann, manager of the traffic bureau of the Omaha Commercial club, together with a half dozen Omaha lumbermen and manufacturers, are In til. Louis submit ting evidence -on tho case to try to show the Increase excessive. The proposed tariffs, which range from 1 to 2 cents on 100 pounds, are to apply to shipments from practically alt the southwestern lumber territory to the Missouri river cities, But even though the rates are to apply In shipments to the Missouri river cities, the question has a much larger meaning. This Is because the rates now In ques tion are to be used also as a basis of rates for shipments further cast, west and north. That Is, the Increased rntu to tho Missouri river points would apply from the origin ot the shipment to any of the Missouri river points, and the reg ular freight rate from there on would apply In shipments that have farther to go.
