Here s .py of The Omtha Daily
Bee of February 19, 1872. The Bee
was Ies than a year old then. I four

AH ol the first page except one
Column is advertisements. Among
the "Telegraphic Briefs" is this: "A
feeling is being worked up among
nvnuivii m vaiiuus ciues in Trance
favorable to Louis Napoleon."
The young Bee was conducting a
campaign then against dirty and
muddy streets. This is reflected in
the "Omaha Brevities," some of which
are as follows: I
We hardly credit the report tnat a sli
mule government team, wagon, driver and
all, disappeared tn the mud on the crossing
of Dodgn itreat over Twelfth. Still It might
Mr. Williams drove 'nto town from flor.
ence today, and on hla return scraped off
nn pxirs acre or ground from ma wagon
wheels and a quarter of an aero mora from
Ma boots and pants. ' He aaya he hopes
there won't be many of tha farmers go to
Omaha, for If they do they will be aura to
bring barn the city with them.
Mlaa Hanson stepped on the crossing over
lenm street on Douglae this afternoon, and.
falling, broke the small bono of bar left
arm.
Week From Chicago,
A theatrical notice itarro that "Mica
Lucile Western's appearance is post
poned until tomorrow evening In con
sequence of the non-arrival from Chi
cago of manuscript and parts, ex
pressed one week ago. Miss Western
has arrived and is stopping at the
Metropolitan. She will positively ap
pear tomorrow evening in 'East
Lynne.'."
Here is an advertisement: "The
Grand Duke has ordered Stein, the
tailor of Omaha, to send him one
of those nobby suits."
Another advertisement advises peo
ple to "Leave orders with Edwards,
181 Farnam street, for the celebrated
Gillespy coal, the best soft coal in
the market, only $8." Coal was dearer
then than now, you see.
Even then The Bee was the watch
dog of the public treasury, as this
editorial shows: '
The CIV paya out 1150.000 annually, with
10 per cen, interest thereon, making In all
$163,000. It caah were paid they would only
requlro S127.B00 because the partlea paid re

Mark Hanson, grocer, Jones and
Eleventh streets,. "respectfully invites
attention to his ctioice groceries," and
quotes some prices that make even
present day prices look cheap. For
instance, "Best New York crushed
sugar, 16 cents per popnd."
Recruiting Continues
Brisk in Omaha District
Recruiting continues steady and
brisk under the stimulus of the pend
ing of the final passage of the draft
bill in congress. ,
All records' were broken for recruit
ing in the Omaha district Tuesday,
with io men enlisted.
Wednesday morning's volunteers
were so numerous that eighty-two
had been examined and enlisted by
noon.
Recruiting officers said they ex
pected to score totals for the day
that would rival that of Tuesday.
Large groups of volunteers came
from small towns in the district, in
cluding Vork, Hastings, bioux City,
Des Moines, Marshalltown, Audubon,
Sibley and other places.
Chore Boy is Awarded
Compensation by Jury
A jury in district court decided that
a boy who does "chores" for a neigh
bor for several years is entitled to
liberal compensation. After deliber
ating several honrs the veniremen re
. turned s verdict of $L00).28 in favor
of Roy Schmidt, minor son of Mr.
and Mrs. John Schmidt, who sued the
estate of the late Barbara Foppen
berger. Tha claim was made on the
basis of $5 a week from September,
1911, to December, 1914. Th jury
cut this amount down considerably.
The boy testified that he did the
"chores" for Mrs, Poppenberger for
several years without pay. The case
was tried before Judge Sears.
Many Would Plant the
Railroad Right-of-Way
Applications to farm the right-of-way
of the Union Pacific, Northwest
ern, Burlington, Rock Island and Mis
souri Pacific in Nebraska are coming
to the local headquarters by the hun
dreds. While no dost estimate has
been made, it is figured that donating
the right-of-way to those who will cul
tivate will add at least 5,000 acres to
the crop-producing area of the state.
Most of the parties who apply for
the use of the land indicate that they
desire to plant the greater portion to
potatoes, beans una corn.
