TOWN TOPICS.
SENATOR PLATT'S FUNERAL.
AND SIMPLE IN ITS AR
RANGEMENTS.

The funeral services attendant upon
the burial of the body of United States
Senator Orville H. Platt from the
church in his boyhood
home at Washington, Conn.,, on Tues
day last, were Beautifully impressive
in their simplicity. The outpouring
of his townspeople and Of those of all
the region round about, together with
representatives from all parts of the
nation, swelled the crowd into the
thousands. The entire absence OF all
OStentatiOn made the scene one long
to be remembered. In the Congrega-
tiOnal church in that beautiful hill
town, gathered large cOncourse OF
people, while on the space outside the
church a much larger group stood,
with barred heads and bated breath, to
do honor to the memory of him whom
all regarded with the highest esteem.
The most conspicuous figure of the
group was the Vice President of the
United States as the representative of
President Roosevelt. Senators and
Representatives Of Congress, justices
of the Supreme Court of Connecticut,
state officials, and Others Of national
fame were present; Six townsmen
acted as bearers. The floral decora.
lions at the church were beautiful, but
not excessive. White lilacs, lilies of
the valley, Easter lilies, hydrangeas
ferns and orchids made a rare com.
bination of color and fragrance with
out extravaganza. The Episcopal burr
al service was used in it's entirety.
The singing was we'll rendered by
local talent. Senator Platt's favorite
hymn, "For all the saints, who from
their labors rest," was sung as the
opening hymn, and our national hymn
"America," as the closing, while as {
occasional Jerusalem, the Golden, ,
quickened the pulse beats of some
hearts. The body, in coffin of quar-
tered oak, was carried to the cemeter,
in a plain, open business wagon in &C
cordance with the Senator's request
while procession In numbers seldom
seen at country funeral, walked will
uncovered heads to the little buryint
ground SO beautifully located on thu
slope of one Litchfield' s beautiful hills
So a great statesman of worldwide
fame, a wise and valued counselor -
the nation, trusted and followed b,
bis associates in Congress to degree
seldom equaled, a Christian patriot,
valued citizen, was laid to rest. An
other striking example of the great
ness and simplicity Of the life Of gu
truly great men.-[E. L. johnson.

connected with Lincoln, st. Joseph, Kansas
City, Des Moines, Sioux City and South
Omaha, but who cannot reach Omaha, see
your councilman and insist on the council
submitting the proposition to the voters OF
Omaha to decide whether or not Omaha is
to have the benefit of telephone competition.
Omaha business men are sending out
trade excursions in this same territory,
where are located these 10000 independent
telephone users, soliciting their business
for the Omaha jobbing houses, banks and
merchants generally. Did you ever stop to
think that these same men whom you are
asking to patronize you own telephone sys-
TENS, exchanges and toll lines, which repre-
sent millions OF dollars OF money invested
and which are built to your city limits in
South Omaha, and that they might prefer
to talk over their own lines when sending
in their orders to the Omaha jobbers in
preference to paying their money to the
Bell company while their own lines stand
idle7
''rhe Omaha jobbing houses and banks
are receiving letters daily from all parts of
the state soliciting the influence Of these
jobbers and bankers to demand the passage
OF the independent telephone franchise, and
there is no good reason why the indepen-
dent telephone franchise should not be
granted The only opposition TO it is from
the Bell company, who, OF course, wants
| to prolong its monopoly OF the telephone
business in Omaha.

pendent telephone franchise and you will

WHAT THE INDEPENDENTS PROMISE

''Do you want better, cheaper and more
extended telephone service in Omaha?"
said 7. II. Pollock one OF the promoters
Of the new company. There will be a
proposition submitted to the mayor and
city council OF Omaha within the next few
days asking that an independent tele-
phone franchise be passed by the council
and submitted to the voters Of Omaha, to
say whether or not the citizens Of Omaha
shall enjoy the benefits Of telephone com
petition.
THE independent telephone franchise will
provide for a reduction OF from 25 to IS
per cent from existing telephone rentals in
Omaha.
1T will provide for the constructing OF a
modern, first-class telephone system in
Omaha and South Omaha
ut will provide for free service from
Omaha to South Omaha. What does this
free service mean to the average business
man? An Omaha business man must pay
now 81 per month. or Ss4 per year, for a
business telephone on the Omaha exchange
In addition to this rate he must pay
cents for every conversation with a sub
scriber on the South Omaha exchange

1T goes to show that the whirligig OF time

In republican councils that IL would be a

tionality on the ticket to strengthen its ap-
peal to the general mass Of voters. l went
up to the city engineers ofice where P. E.

he did not think he could he nominated

nominated. The result was that he was
nominated and elected, and this not only
once, but twice.
During my last campaign. in the spring
of 1903 Edquist went through the city en-
gineer's Office and urged his old acquaint-
ances there to vote for Benson for mayor
on the ground that could not be elected
and that this was the only way to keep
out a democrat. Apparently the county
surveyor forgot any debt of gratitude that
he may have owed to me-
ut is now to be noted that he was de-
feeted for denomination and is down and
