After the death Of Mrs. Miller the farm
Upon which they lived was taken by cred
ltors and the girls were turned adrift. They
secured employment in Charter Oak. but
were soon again turned on the world. Sew
eral days ago they concluded to leave Char
ter Oak and go to a city where employment
would be more easily found. Omaha was
their Mecca, and about s o'clock Wednesday
night two ~footsore and tired girls attempted
to walk across the East Omaha bridge. The
Waterman stopped them and listened to
their story. They spent the night at his
house and yesterday he gave them some
small change and sent them to the police
station.
During their long walk the girls said they
had been we'll treated on the road by farm
ers, from whom they secured food and lodg-
ing. They have changed their minds about
working in a city and desire good MONIES in
the country. Both are bright girls OF more
than ordinary education. The police expect
to secure homes for them soon.
Before s o'clock last evening there were
six applications TO the police by various
parties who wished to take the two little
girls and make comfortable homes for them.

APPEALS TO PUBLIC CHARITY
Seth wilcox, Aged and Crippled
Travels to Pierre to Press
Land Claims.

Infrm with age, drunken by suffering
and with legs knotted and bent by rheuma-
tism, Seth Wilcox, aged II, sat in HIS little
rolling chair back Of the Douglas county
court house for eight hours yesterday wait
ing aid from the county commissioners In
a few months he may not have to ask inan-
cial aid from anybody, but today ne is an
object Of public charity. and his only assets
are his chair and the little sstchel sus-
pended at its back, containing crackers or
whatever he is given to eat.
He is enroute from Wood River, Neb., he
says, to Pierre, 8. D., and the county board
gave him transportation to Sioux City. He
lived ten years near Pierre prior to 1897,
when the rheumatism attacked him and he
was started tho rounds Of cheap asylums
and springs seeking a cure. He was Just
getting a good start in Dakota when stricken
and had partial title to three land csaims.
The title has been usurped by others, he
states, and he has been unable to secure an
attorney to defend his interests because he
has no money. But redently a nephew OF
his came west on government business and
wrote the old man to meet him at Pierre,
where he, the man from the east, who is a
lawyer himself, will help him with his land
claims. II either Of the claims hold the

In the matron's department Of the city
Jail are two little girls. Evalin Miller and
Nellie Smith. age 16 and IA years. who tell
a pathetic story Of their suffering and for
whom the police are endeavoring to secure
good homes in the country. The little
girls walked the entire distance from Char
ter Oak. Ia. to Omaha, arriving at the East
Omaha bridge Wednesday night, from which
place they were taken to the police station
yesterday morning. Their shoes were worn
almost ~soleiess and their feet are blistered
and sore from coming in contact with the
hard roads during the three days trip.
Their clothing. though neat, tells Of poverty.
The girls are cousins and made their home
with the father and mother Of the Miller
girl until recently. Last spring, so the
girls said, Mr.. Miller died from the effects
OF a gunshot wound inflicted by a colored
man. with whom he had trouble. Soon

ENDS. HIS MISERY in DEATH
Frederic johnson, HopeIessIy Grip
pied, shoots Himself Through
the Heart.

Frederik Johnson, who fell under a Union
Pacific train near the Paxton q Vierling
iron works last November and had his legs
cut of below the knees, shot himself
through the heart at 1855 o'clock last night
under the railroad viaduct over Sherman
avenue at Ames avenue. Death must have
been instantaneous. The coroner was sent
for and the suicide conveyed to the morgue,
where an inquest will be held at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. johnson has been in st.
Joseph's hospital since the time Of the
accident and would have been discharged
from there in a few days. 1t is supposed
that he became respondent over his hope
lessly crippled condition
The rain was falling heavily at the time
johnson fired the fatal shot. and several
persons who heard the report took It for
a noise Of the storm. Milton Bilby, who
oversees the work gang Of city prisoners.
was sheltering his horses under the north
side Of the viaduct and ]. ]. McGibbon was
also waiting nearby with a team. After
the shot McGibbon saw Bilby go to the
wounded man, and then get In his wagon
and drive away. Billy and Ezra Field, who
had just come along, ran under the bridge
and found Johnson huddled down, with his
face In the road and quite dead. Field
notified the policeman on the beat, Sargent,
who notified the department and the
coroner.
The revolver could not at first be found,
but was later found in the possession Of
Billy at his house on the bottoms. Bilby
said that he heard the shot and went to the
fallen man and shook him and thought he
spoke. Blby. who believed Johnson TO be
drunk. then told him to brace up, and APP
propriated the weapon, which was a cheap
new S2-caliber. Seth Patterson. who is
stationed in the flag shanty, said Johnson
got on an outbound car a short time before
the shooting. He said that the man had
considerable dif1culty In getting to the
roadway and hat he used crutches.
johnson came to this country from skone,
Sweden, about six years ago and worked in
the Cudahy packing plant. Prior to the
accident which cost him his legs he boarded
at 1874 South Sixteenth street with a man
named Henry Gustafson. On November 10
last Johnson jumped from a train near the
iron works, slipped on a pile Of rails and
went under the wheels. He was taken to
the hospital. where his expenses were paid
by the Union Pacific and by subscription
among friends. Axil Peterson and others
had Just gotten him a pair Of cork legs
and on these he walked for the first time
when he went to his death. The authori-
ties OF the hospital did not know that he
had left the building until notified Of his
death.
h dead man was about 26 years old and
had no relatives In this country.
Early this morning the police went out
to Bilby's home to bring him into the sta
tion to be held pending the coroner's In
uuest.

with water trickling down their sensitive
backs, filling their pockets and shooting up
between their alabaster toes. the Real Es-
tate exchange excursionists returned from
Arlington shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
The arrival was two hours prior to the
expected time, but no one was complaining
OF that. They were too moist to complain
Of anything. Leaving Omaha at $40. they
had reached the grove a mile from Arllng-
ton about 1890. At ~ $50 the rain came.
It was no half-hearted shower to b. taken
as a joke, but a real live issue that gave
every man, woman and child something to
think about. They scampered for the
stingy shelter Of the trees and the leaking
rooted booths, hugging the trunks and the
corner posts while the gladstone, copious
drops pelted down on the just, the justices
and the jest-new waists and shirts. White
duck trousers became as a fsherman's over
alls and the S1s Panama brims hung down
like the lip Of a hired man at his first
circus.
1t rained uninterruptedly and in a bust
ness-like way until $3.50. In the meantime
the excursionists had sent to the Arlington
stationmaster an urgent request for either
a relief train or a houseboat, The station
master sent a train. He tagged It, with
orders from headquarters, and backed 1t
down to the grove. where the excursionists
climbed aboard, soaked, ~sagging, but I'M
soured.
None OF the scheduled races or contests
were attempted except the ball game be-
tween the real estate and the insurance

innings. in a victory for the former, Ii to o.
The excursion was the fifth annual of the
exchange and had been postponed from June

IMMIGRATION BUREAU INTACT
Union Pacific Gets Back Into Combination
at Colorado Springs.
ROCK ISLAND ROAD LIKELY TO FOLLOW
General Passenger Agent LOmax Sue
ceeds IN Securing Concessions
Asked by COmpany-NO Trou-
BILE with other Roads,

The Union Pacific has gone back into
the Western immigration bureau, from
which 1t withdrew a few weeks ago on the
grounds that II was not getting Its just
proportion of the percentages and that
the pro rata expenses we're e%xorbitant.
This report was published in the morning
papers:
+ CHICAGO, July l6.-The Western Passen-
ger association has issued a circular can
ceiling the letter announcing the WITH
drawal of the Union Pacific from the West
ern immigration BUREAU. The announce
ment is taken as an indication that the
differences of the bureau over me imm .hs
grafton business have been adjusted at the
Colorado Springs meeting. II Is presumso
that the Santa Fe and Southern Paclne
receded from their former demands ana
mat a compromise was effected satisfactory
TO all.
Word has been received at the Union
Pacific headquarters In Omaha from Cen
eral Passenger Agent Lomax, who is at
the Colorado Springs meeting. confirming
this press report. Mr.. Lomax succeeded
in getting what concession his road de-
manded and then withdraw the order an
nouncing the Union Pacihc's withdrawal
from the immigration bureau.
Ofncials in Omaha say there is some
mistake in the report referring to the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe as having
had demands from which they receded. AS
a matter Of fact, they say neither OF
these roads had made any complaints, and
that SO far as was known there was no
reason why they should object to condi-
tions as they formerly existed. for both got
a lions share Of the trafhc.
It was the Rock Island that made the
hrst objections to the methods OF the
bureau and withdrew from II. The basis
Of complaint of this road was that since
the completion of its Ell Paso route to the
coast it did not get a fair share OF the
percentages and had to bear its proper
ton Of the enormous expenses just the
same. II is believed that these differences
have been or will be cleared up before the
tr-anscontinental meeting adjourns and that
the Rock Island will return TO the bureau
as did the Union Pacific thus placing
the bureau back on its feet with the exact
membership with which II started, except
that the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific have been added to the list sine'
then.
