DIGGING INTOTHAT
RALSTON REPORT

Councilmen c. w. Mohr, Peter
Nelson and Leonard Funk have be-
gun their inquiry into the report of
the cost of the Mission avenue
bridge, filed by City Engineer Raj
ston. The committee is holding its
meetings in the afternoon at the
city hall and will continue in ses-
sion until the matter of the cost
of the bridge is thoroughly sifted.
Prior to the late city election,
and since then, the report has been
constantly in circulation that Engi-
neer Ralston, while apparently saw
ing $4,000 in the cost OF the
bridge over his estimate, in reality
cheapened it's cost 100000 by les
SEEMING the amount of material used
and thus made it cost $4,000 in
excess of his estimate on the style
of bridge he had originally planned.
1t is claimed that this alteration
was made without the knowledge
or consent of the city council.

DR.. Grieve has for weeks given his

provision would be made later to
compensate him for dropping his

Grieve on this basis without some

LINCOLN, Neb., June "a
brand new wrinkle has been in
vented in Lincoln in the way of
funerals. The whole city and much
of the state is talking about it, and
from present indications it bids
fair to become the popular style in
Nebraska.
The new form consists of laying
the body of the deceased out on a
sofa. in a natural position, instead
of in a coffin. The first instance
in which the plan was tried was at
the funeral of the late l. M. Ray
mond, one of the wealthiest men of
Nebraska, who has just died. Mr..
Raymond was brother of DR.. V.
P. M. Raymond, president of Union
college, Schenectady, N. Y. He lived
in Lincoln 40 years and was one of
the pioneers who helped the city
and state develop into the position
they now occupy in American af-
fairs. For a quarter of century
the Raymond family has been the
foremost influence in social affairs
here and during these years Mr..
Raymond amassed a great fortune.
The relatives and friends who
gathered at the large Raymond
home for the funeral of the dead
pioneer were astonished, upon en-
tering the ,parlor, to behold the
body Of the late financier stretched
out on a soft, as if the breath of
life still surged through it. The
head and shoulders were elevated
on sofa pillows and more pillows
were piled at the back. One leg
dropped naturally over the edge of
the sofa and the foot rested on the
floor In fact, it was difficult to
realize that Mr.. Raymond was not
alive and that he had not merely
dropped down on the sofa for q
rest and fallen asleep. The coffin
was not in evidence and the floral
offerings which had been sent
were banked on the other side Of
the room.
The idea of laying out the body
in this manner was the wifes. Mrs.
Raymond felt she could not stand
the grief and torture of seeing her
husband in a coffin and so she pro-
posed that the body be dressed in
the business clothes of its late
owner and placed upon the sofa,
where it had rested so many times
when the husband and father was
alive. After the first shock those
present at the funeral were favor.
ably impressed with the new fun
eral arrangement The minister
appeared and conducted the serv
ices, quartet sang and then all
but the undertaken retired. The
body was then placed in a casket
and carried TO the hearse, which
conveyed it to the cemetery.

That the women who compose
New York's 400" are not bound
by convention in style is shown by
the pictures reproduced above.
They represent five of the most
fashionable women of the metrop-
oils and the individuality of each
is shown by the distinct variations
In hat styles. These women be-
lieve, and OF course have the
money to support their ideas, that
one style for all women is an inn
possibility. In hats they wear
what becomes them despite the de-
crees of fashion designers.
