was one Of these. Twenty-Five years. the
larger part Of his active business life, had
been spent IN Omaha; and although within
the last twelve months. many. who In life
had earned the honor and the love Of our
fellow citizens. have gone to their last
rest. Il may with truth be said, the loss OF
none has brought more heartfelt sorrow
and a deeper sense Of personal bereave-
ment. than has the death Of this noble.
courageous and lovable man.
Too often is it that gentility. that eour-
tesies OF the heart, that affsbility Of true
politeness. which instinctively ennoble the
recipient, and for him brightens and

Inspect sumner Resorts.


OMAHA. May Ito the Editor OF The
Bee: The hopes Of spring weather. green
trees and grass can now be entertained.
with these the outlook for the opening Of
summer resorts. where the pleasure seeking
public so 10 spend the summer evenings, Is
bright
It must be remembered that the summer
resorts. such as Krug's Park, Lake Man
ava and the new Dresm City are patron
lied and supported by the citizens and resi-
dents OF Omaha. The parks and resorts
have their grand opening in the latter part
OF May. II seems 10 me that IL would be
good plan for the city and county au-
thorities 10 make an inspection Of these
places 20 look into the matter Of insuring
the safety Of the throngs who visit these
various resorts, so that they may be sure
Of returning with their lives. and not have
TO fear that they may lose their lives in a
deathtrap. such as that found at Lake
Manawa less than year ago.
OF course. most people have long forgot
ten that terrible accident which happened
at Lake Manawa on the night Of July l.
1906, where six lives were lost This can
never be forgotten by those who were be-
reaved Of their dear friends. 'Tis true
these lives can never be repaid. but il can
be arranged 50 that there should not be
any more lives lost In the same way. This
accident should act as a reminder to the
management and patrons OF these various
pleasure resorts and 20 the authorities q
take steps to see that such an accident
should not occur again
The police protection. too is entirely IN
adequate 70 insure the safety OF the throuE
that frequent these places on Sundays an
holidays II would be a good idea for tn
authorities to look into this matter an,
take example from that old proverb. al
ounce Of preventative Is better than
pound OF cure" Yours truly,
ONE OF THE BEREAVED.

the Outcome.

The hearing Of the petition for q re-

Peel was unfinished yesterday, but many

by the plaintiff and the defense. The de-
Tense had not completed it's testimony Sat
urday and the case viii be continued. The
city clerk was obliged to produce volum-
inous records on the case. II was discOv-
cred that the council had passed no or1i-
nance declaring the necessity Of a sewer
for the city and the plaintiff insists this Is
fatal error. II also declares that at the
time the contract was signed there was
not sufficient money in the treasury TO com
plete the work. The deputy treasurer de-
clared the bond purchasing company had
not paid IN the premium on the bond issue
which they had bid at the time Of the sale.
This was made a point in the case. The
books Of the treasurer will be produced
IN court Monday The plaintiff is con-
dent at the present time OF winning. but
the defense IL not greatly alarmed As TO
certain money being paid out already from
the sewer fund for engineering, It Is con-
tended that the treasurer has done Il at
his own risk and will be held liable on his
bond. 50 far IL lie said that about 81. 500

The success Of the second day of tn
Ihwood Fair was somewhat handicap
ped by the weather. A heavy rain
Tuesday night and threatening wealth
er all day Wednesday kept many away
from the fair. However a crowd of
three or four hundred Were on hand to
enjoy the attractions. There was a
very large display in the Horticultural
ana Agricultural Departments under
the management of the Berkeley
County Horticultural Society was very
large. The display Of Mr.. E. J. Hutz-
Ter, of Mill Creek consisting of 306
articles won the first premium.
Toe fair offered as special attractions
on Wednesday concerts by Comrey's
band.
The hurdle races were held Wednes-
day afternoon and Thursday morning
the baby show was held. Music was
rendered by the City band during the
day and there was dancing at night on
the pavilion. Balloon ascensions are
being held each afternoon.

Big Lot Sole.

The big lot sale SO extensively ad-
vertised in the newspaper al other
wise for last Saturday came off most
satisfactorily. There was grand band
concert both in the forenoon and in the
afternoon ana the saIe was attended
by large crowds. The bidding was spiF-
tied aud the lots sold al from $40 to
$3.50 according to location, the popu-
lar price ranging from 500 TO $3.50 per
lot and the sale Of lis lots aggregated
about $4,000. This was emily small
portion of the total number of lots in
the entire addition.
The sale was conductC by Col. j. c.
Morrow, Of Pittsburg, Assisted by Mr..
J. w. Dodd Of this city.
A feature of the lot sale that created
much interest TO ticket holders and
others was as to should hold the lucky
number for the free lot.
Mrs. Ellen Mary Sullivan, residing
on East Burke, .near the Green Hill
cemetery entrance, was the lucky
woman, her mum Der of 1899 winning a
free lot werth al least $3.50. She was Of
fered 500 cash for it the same evening,
but refused the offer.

Following the example of a number
or cities throughout the country, Mar
tinsburg will have big homecoming
week in May next.
No definite arrangements as yet
have been made, but the idea has been
discussed by number Of prominent
citizens, with the result that it will
shortly be taken up and pushed vigor-
ously daring the intervening time.
The matter was brought to a decided
point when Chief Fire Marshal Tai
helm approached several business men
with the object of getting their views
on the matter, and with the further
idea of having the big event take place
during the week of the demonstration
In honor of the Cumberland Valley
Fremen's association, which will hold
its annual meeting here at that time,
The plan met with instant favor,
and it is probable that a meeting will
be called ia a short time to arrange the
details, appoint committee etc.
The general plan that will be follow
ed will be to send out invitations to
every man. woman or child who for
merly resided in Martinsburg or Berke-
ley county to return to the old home
during that week, and to make the oc-
casion gala one. The fact that it will
be held in connection with the fire
mems big demonstration will serve to
add i'm portance to that event, and may
perhaps be the means of bringin g
greater mum bers Of former residents
back to their old homes.
