CHICKENS IN A SLEEPER CAR
Two Bantam BOOSTERS Begin Growing
at Day Break and Wake Up
All Passengers.

Watt Woodbridge. aged IA. son Of @. J..
Woodbridge OF Sioux City. state agent for
Iowa of the Columbia Fire Insurance COM
pany, is an amateur chicken fancier. He
has been visiting his grandfather at Clar-
ence. No. for a few weeks, and on his
return from there Friday night, via the
Kansas City. st. Joseph & Council BLUFFS
railway, he was presented with two or
three bantam ROSTERS by his grandfather.
Watt did not care to trust the precious
birds 70 the tender mercies Of the baggage
car and SO had them put in a basket and
took them 70 the sleeper with him. Mat
tiers ran along smoothly until about 2
o'clock Saturday morning, when the ban
tams concluded that 1t was time for the
passengers to get awake and they started
q Growing match. The passengers were
awakened all right and young Woodbridge
tried his level best TO quiet the noisy
chickens. but they had the Growing fever
and kept 1t up until sunrise.
From various berths came angry and
impatient admonitions that This Is no
poultry car"
Porter, you should have wrung those
chickens necks before bringing them
aboard"
did you ever hear of such a thing2''
from the women, and like caustic remarks
from miscellaneous slsepers.
The result was that by the time the
train reached Omaha everybody In the
car was wide awake. Some mad, others
amused. and about the only level headed
party In the car was the young chicken
fancier. who was completely undisturbed
by the commotiOn his bantams created.

The statement OF Mrs. DiekRmper. mother

There was no attempt at kidnapping my

about FIVE years and that he has been
sent to school, have frequently contrib

Improvement in Ireland.
Bishop scannell visited Ireland and
speaks very hopefully of the prospects for
betterment he noted there.
THE character Of the country's rulers
has been much improved" he said. And
under the operation of the land purchase
act many thousands Of farmers will be
practically Independent OF the landlords in
a short time. Just now the people are in
better condition than they have ever been
before-better housed, better fed and bet
ter clothed. speaking generally"
In answer to question as to the reason
for the continued emigration from Ireland
Bishop Scannell said:
There is very little or no employment
at home for the young people. There is
little demand for labor in the cultivation
of the soil and there Is practically no
manufacturing outside Of few centers ia
the north. Naturally the young, vigorous
and ambitious seek other fields Of OPP
portunity.
Mistaken Economy of Congress.
zone thing struck me very forcibly IN
my visit TO several European capitals, 4"
said the head Of the Omaha diocese. That
is the very shabby treatment given to our
ambassadors abroad by the government
hero at home, OF rather by congress. The
people OF Europe have come to look upon
this country as a great power IN the az
fairs OF the world. II not the greatest.
Yet by contrast with the representatives
of other great powers. our ambassadors
are housed in small and mean quarters. l
am speaking now OF the legation quarters. A
rich and powerful nation we still insist in
capitals OF Europe in a way that per-
haps was all right in the days Of the
colonies, or when we sent abroad our first
ministers. Today this alleged economy Is
no less ridiculous than humiliating to the
American travelling abroad, who-believes
his country is the greatest in the world
and wants to be proud OF It In all things.
Tn Europe people Judge largely by COM
parisoI,, and IL has come TO that pass where
the question OF prestige may be vitality
and disastrOusly affected by shabby treat
ment OF our representatives. They are in
most cases very capable and clever men,
able to make their country looked up TO
II given proper support We are praeticing
the penny wise and pound foolish policy
in this regard.
"only a rich man. as understand II. can
today undertake one OF the great missions.
We are virtually making men pay for the
honor OF representing US instead OF paying
them for their ability and great services
at the courts OF Europe. It is positively
notifying 70 Americans to see how some
Of their representatives are placed abroad.

HOUSE FOR BYRNE-HANNER
Eight-stOry Building Will Be Erected by
Count Creighton.
COST WILL Be TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
Structure il to stand on Northeast
Corner of Ninth and Howard,
Facing the Latter
Street.

Count John A Creighton will erect a
10000 building at the northeast corner of
Ninth and Howard streets for the Byrne-
Hammer Dry Goods company. The con-
tract between Mr.. Creighton and the job
bling firm was closed few days ago and
the announcement made Saturday.
1t is said that the new building Will be
the largest and most modern wholesale dry
goods house on the Missouri river 1t will
be 1872 feet square and will be eight stories
in height, exclusive OF the basement. II
will be equipped with the best facilities
for the prompt handling OF a large dry
goods business and will have special ar
rangements for showing goods in the best
light which can be obtained. The new
building will have double the amount OF
floor space of the old.
The building will front on Howard street,
with the main entrance at the corner OF
Ninth and Howard streets In the rear it
viii be reached by the tracks OF the Burl-
ington and Northwestern. Its proximity TO
the car lines on Tenth street win make 1t
desirable location for business.
Work Awaits Architect.
Work will begin as soon the archi-
tsct, Charles Cloves. can fAish the plans.
Already three small dwelling houses which
stand on the site are being torn away.
Nothing has occurred recently in job
bling circles. with the exception OF the
announcement OF Paxton & Gallagher that
they would erect an eight-story building.
which marks so distinctly the growth of
Omaha as a wholesale market When the
building Is finished It will be decidedly the
finest wholesale building In the city. for
it will be several months yet before work
will be begun on the Paxton & Gallagher
building
The quarters now occupied by Byrne-
Hammer belongs to P. Z. Her. Mr. Her
stated that thus far there is no deal on
for the lease OF the building when It Is
vacated by the dry goods firm. This will
be some time early in the spring.
