The New Settling Tank

Supt. of Buildings and
Bridges Kelly, of the G. & N.
w., was in the Valley today
locating the new settling tanks
that are to be put in in this city.
The tanks will be located 800
feet west of the present tank
at the depot which will bring it
about even with 18th street. A
fourteen inch we'll will be sunk
and two large settling tanks
built. The water will be pump
ed into the first tank and treat
ed with soda ash and lime and
will then be pumped into the
other tank for the engines.
Both the C. & N. w. and the F.
E. & M. V. engines will use the
water from the new tank.
Work will commence immediat-
ely on the new tanks and it is
thought they will be ready for
use in about sixty days. The
tank and pumping station that
was put up at the depot in

Finch is the Popular Game.

Everything runs to fads
these days and the game of
finch" seems to be the one at
present to carry the popular
mind, so as not to be behind the
times, a number of young ladies
and gentlemen met at the home
of Miss Mable Wilson, east Erie
street, to be initiated into the
mysteries of the game. Wheth-
er there was much learned or
not needs not be inquired into
but one thing is certain, the
young folks had a jolly evening
as young folks always do have.
Later in the evening there was
music, instrumental and vocal,
and all went home happy.

Death Of Mrs. VIM. +. Miller.

Died, Saturday, February Z,
1908, at her home ON West
street, Ada Efie, wife of VIM.
f. Miller.
The deceased was born near
California Junction, March 16,
1872, and her entire life has
been spent in and around this
city. On June %, 1888, she
was joined in holy wedlock to
VIM. f. Miller of this city and
since that time she has made
Mo. Valley her home and by her
kind words and actions she has
made a host of friends who,
having done all that mortal
could do to soothe her last mo-
ments, resigned the rest to God.
She was a true wife, a kind
mother, and a faithful friend.
During her entire sickness and
to the very brink of eternity
her self-sacrificing mother spir-
it asserted itself. Her thoughts
seemed to be not for herself
but for her sorrowing babes and
relatives from whom she knew
she soon must part.
For two long weeks she suf-
fered circulating pain, re
sulting from an attack of
appendicitis. During all this
time not a word of complaint
did she utter, but silently and
peacefully she waited the end.
Her death bed scene is one that
will live upon the minds and
hearts of the watching friends
and relatives as long as God
shall give them the power of
memory. She had been suffer
ing intensely and seemed to
have peacefully submitted, but
suddenly she rallied and her
voice burst forth in a rapturous
song of praise. Then she
would call for her mother, then
again for her father or some of
the members of the family,
Then her strength left her and
with a few deep signs she fell
back upon the pillow and we
knew the end had come.
Besides her parents, friends
and relatives a husband and
five small children, the oldest
but thirteen and the youngest
two years, are left to mourn
her untimely death.
The funeral occurred this
afternoon at 2 o'clock, burial in
Rose Hill cemetery. ~

A Biz Catch.

The fish commissioner who has
been seining Mobiles Lake to
get rid of the fish that eat the
spawn of the game fish made a
big haul Saturday. When the
seine was brought to land it
was found that about four
hundred pounds Of fish were
caught. The bass and other
game fish were thrown back in
to the lake. In the seine was
found three spoon bill cat fish
that were whoppers. One of
them measured four and a halt
feet long and weighed over
one hundred pounds. Two
others weighed 40 and 7s
pounds each. Owing to the ice
in the lake the seiners conclud-
ed not to make another haul
but to wait until the ice was
out of the lake in the spring.

The American Girl.

AllC AuuCl lC0n UlTls
Woman's Home Companion:
The American girl is admired
) and liked at home and abroad
because she is the happiest,
healthiest and friendliest of
girls. Usually unframed by
any self-consciousness, she is
not apologize and morbidly
sensitive, as many girls brought
up inthe close, conventional air
of European civilization. She
likes the world, and is alive to
everything beautiful and good
in existence. She is easily
pleased and her unstudied, fresh
enjoyment of simple pleasures,
gives happiness to every one
around her by it's simple, whole
some expression through her
face, figure and voice.
American girls, when you
study them critically, are not
more beautiful than English or
French girls, but somehow an
American girl always contrives
to make a pretty picture of her
self, and neither she nor any
one else can explain how she
does it. She is adaptable to an
astonishing degree, and she
can dress for a walk, an out
doors game, a dinner or a bali
so as to make the impression
that in each particular garb she
is at her best. This power to
Change her appearance so as to
look almost like another person
is one of the American girls
chief charms, and she owes it
to her keen appreciation of the
people and circumstances
aruond her. She has magma
ton and institution and gen
ius for fitting herself to the
hour.

People were wont to sheer at

age like the English, with no

were, cannot be acquired by
other ways than by constant
practice, and spelling schools
and the spelling down" system
is the best method.

..Elkhorn Stays In Omlha

.Elktorn Stays In Omlha
Today's Omaha Bee says: Ii
line with the prevailing ten
dency of big railroad system
to retrench and centralize bot
with respect to the operation
and management of their pro
pertles, an unconfrmed rumo1
has crept out that the North
western, which owns and oper-
ates the Fremont, Elkhorn anc
Missouri Valley road, under .
separate corporation, however,
is about to merge the two cor
porat, bodies and conduct all
the system under one central
organization. This rumor found
its way into Omaha some
months ago, but could not be
confirmed here or elsewhere.
Now it is again revived and
still confirmation is lacking.
The publication in a Chicago
paper of a notice of Especial
meeting of the stockholders
AMI voting bondholders of the
Chicago & Northwestern Rail
way Company" in Chicago Feb
rlary 10, for the purpose,
among other things, Of acting
upon the question of leasing
the railroad franchises and
property of the Fremont, Elk
horn & Missouri Valley railroad
company has aroused new in
terest in this report.
Of this matter General Man
ager Bidwell of the Fremont,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley road
said yesterday morning:
"While | have not been form
ally advised by the board of
directors who called this meet
ing, | think | can safely an
nounce that there is no special
significance in this legal notice.
| think | can also say that the
management of the Elkhorn
will continue the same as it has
been in the past, that the two
corporations will not be merged
and that the Omaha general
headquarters of the Elkhorn
road will be kept here and that
the Elkhorn system will con-
tinue to be operated from here"
Mr.. Bidwells statement does
away with the rumor, there
fore, which sprung up as a re-
suit of the original report of
the merging of these two rail
road corporations, that Omaha
was about to lose the general
headquarters of this railroad
and will have a consoling effect
upon the business constituency
of this city, by whom such in
situations as this are justly APP
preciated.
