NEBRASKA CITY-Tuesday night a car
of merchandise was broken open for the
Burlington at this point and considerable
of its contents carried off. The same night
the safe at the Missouri Pacific railway
freight depot was broken open, but there
was no money in the safe, nothing but
books and papers, and these were strewn
all over the office. Nothing was taken.
This is fought to be the work of local
talent. Some boys also robbed the machine
shop of Barnhardt & Harris, but the prop
erty was recovered from the junk dealer
and the boys will be sent to the reform
school. Considerable petty thieving has
been going on here of late and the police
are unable to locate the guilty parties.

Veteran Drove "Prairie Schooner"
With Oxen Through City Streets.

New fork-A team of oxen drawing
a prairie schooner" the driver of
which was a rugged looking old man
who wore typical western garb. includ-
ing a sombrero. attracted great
crowds on Broadway
The vehicle and driver were not
only in striking contrast with the Jam
of automobiles and carriages on the
Great White Way" but they were a
decidedly novelty in New York.
The driver was Ezra Meeker a
pioneer of the Oregon trail who had
returned over the trail he followed to
the west half a century ago All along
Riverside, from Grants tomb to Sew
enty second street, Meeker was fol-
lowed by an interested and curious
throng.
When Broadway was reached the
crowd was SO dense that the oxen,
which the hale old man afterward de.
scribed as Dave and Dandy. had a
hard time to make any headwav
Meeker's trip ended at last at the
Battery. He had come all the way
from Puyallup. Wash. to New York
in 626 days.
Meeker's object in making his
unique journey is to persuade the gov
ernment to build national highway
from east to west.

HOSIERY TO MATCH SHOE TOPS.
Mirror in Dressing Room Should Be-
Placed to Give View Of the Feet.

An idea of the season is to have
the shoe tops and the stockings
match. IL is quite the thing to tax .
ones shoe tops along when getting
hose. There should not be any di.
vtding line between the tops of
the boots and the beginning of the
stockings
And the shoes should always look
new. New strings make boot look
new. They are like new ribbons on a
hat or new ties in low shoe
Il regard boot looking glass as an
absolute essential where good looking :
feet are concerned. Few women have
mirror low enough to see a boot
right from the sole up, and | advise
the woman who wants nice looking
ieet to have a bit of glass or mirror
set into the wall right next to the
floor.
1T can be panel shaped and tai,
enough TO take in the whole figure
or it can be merely a couple of feet
in height. But long. slender panel
mirror reaching from the floor up to
height OF six feet will prove i'm.
