PRICE OF LUMBER SCARS
Will Be Higher Than Many Years BeoAuI
Of Heavy Demand.
MILLS CANNOT SUPPLY THEIR ORDERS
Brick Men Expect No Advance i'm
Price of Their MateriaI-Jsn-
nary Makes Record In
Building Permits.

Lumber OF all kinds will be higher in
price in Omaha this year than for many
years, according to the opinion of dealers
who are conversant with the situation.
They say the condition is caused by the
rery large amount of building all over
the country during several years and the
prospects of even more activity In 1895.
Coupled with the Unprecedented demand is
the rapid consumption of the available raw
supply. Southern mills are unable to
keep pace with orders and Omaha dealers
are looking more and more to the north
west Pacific coast states to produce what
is needed here.
Last year che general run of retail
lumber prices in Omaha was from IS to
100 per cent greater than just before the
exposition, On January /. the producers
made a general raise OF per cent on lum-

The little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. T. Dettling, Alb First street, had a
very close call from death last after

a heavily loaded wagon. She suffered
the crushing of her chest and the
breaking of three ribs, and but for the
prompt action of the driver in stopping
his team the hind wheels of the wagon
would have passed over the child's
neck, probably killing her instantly.
She was taken to Cordiner's drug store
and thence home, where DR.. Hamilton

with a four-horse team and W. wagons

and was drawing them up Second

He was driving the four horses. He

push the wheel backward before she
could be gotten out of the terrible

would have gone out in a twinkling.

MEASURES THAT ARE STANDARD
Niue. Care Taken to Preserve Them
Correctly. .


Correctly. .
A gallon is exactly ten pounds oil
distilled water; so when housewives
say "a pint's a pound the world
around" they are mistaken. The i'm.
perial standard yard, which is the
same as our own. is the distance be
tween two fine lines on a bar Of
bronze, measured at 62 degrees Fab
renheit. The bar is kept mounted OF
eight rollers in a special steel safe il
LJndon. The standard pound is KEEP
in a silver-gilt box contained in 9
bronze box, the top of which is secure
ly screwed down and the whole placed
in a special compartment of the same
safe. The German metric system
took the place of more than twenty
local measures. The Hesse-Darmstadt
foot was less than ten inches, the
Observation-Disclosures foot more
than fifteen.
