odist church at p. m. Mr.. Hansen was
in his twenty-sixth year. He had been in
this country only a few years and was a
native of Denmark. He was. however

Much Building in Prospect.
1t Is the common talk that this season
will be one of extensive improvement to
the city of South Omaha. Along with the
prospect of a great sewer system and the
building contemplated by the Swift COM
pany there is a likelihood of a new viaduct
in the vicinity OF u street. The last report
on this from the city council was that it
all depended the cooperation of the
Rock Island railroad. The National Pack
ing company, it is well known will estab-
lish enlarged facilities in the Hammond
plant. 1t is stated OF late also that the
NJ.
spend 100000 in improvements here during
the present year. The improvements in
clude new telephone exchange, which
it is supposed will be put up at Twenty
fourth and X streets. The plans are said
to be made for the erection of a three
story brick building There will also be
many more underground cables laid dur
ing the year. The Omaha Gas company
has just completed an extension of the
mains to Thirteenth street Missouri
avenue. 1t has many more projects to be
put in operation before the season closes.
Several buildings or stores are also talked
of. Among them is the statement that
II. II. Baldrige will build at 3l9 North
