Shoestring Trust
is Not Broke, but
John Marshall Is
Octopus Defes 0nslsughts Of Mr.. Bar
leyoorn, Poor Red Man and
Jonathan Edward.

Jonathan Edward Marshall, a shoestring
merchant at Fourteenth and Howard
streets. started out to break the shoestring
trust at 10 O'Clock in the morning and with
the assistance OF some Omaha Indians, he
was a bankrupt at IL and the shoestring
trust is still restraining trade.
Marshall, who wears a sign that he is
blind, found his way into a legalized blind
tiger during the early hours and he and
the tiger mixed. When he opened his place
Of business between two electric feed wire
posts he began to spiel:
I'm break this company cried Marshall.
Il give shoestrings away"
To attract trade Marshall pounded on the
posts with his cane, thereby attracting the
squaw. who came down to omaI% for the
ride on the cars.
II there is anythL1 an ndian can use in
his business, it is a shoestring. Squaws
make everything from shopping bags to
summer gowns out OF shoestrings and
Marshall offered an opportunity for Squaw-
kick-a-hole-in-the-sky to have a summer
gown that would make struggled goods
look like sweatshop wares.
Time and again the indians went over to
the generous shoestring peddIer, until they
had secured his stock of strings and moved
on.
IN break this company" was Mar.
shall's exclamation every time an Indian
got another pair Of shoestrings.
When the stock was gone, so were the
Indians and Marshall being out OF business
began to use considerable profanity, which
caused the policeman on the beat to tell the
fellow to move on, which he did. Nc
creditors had appeared to take possession
Of the place of business, though the mar
who tried to bI a the shoestring trust
went broke himself.

Porter Club Entertains.

On Monday evening, May 81, one of
the most enjoyable meetings of the
Golden Rule Club was held at the
Loughren home. About one hundred
and fifty people took seats in tent,
which had been erected on the lawn,
and listened to the play, Tony, the
Convict. It was well rendered by a
local talent troupe, the Mount Pleasant
Dramatic company, and received much
merited applause. Between the acts
vocal and instrumental music by mem
bers of the Club was keenly enjoyed by
the audience. At the close of the en-
tertainment a delightful lunch was
served, and the company returned to
their homes feeling that other neigh
borhoods might profit by initiating the
Golden Rule Club.

MRS. ELISHA BURDICK.

Mrs. Elisha Burdick died at her
home, Ais West Wilson street, Madison,
Monday afternoon, of cerebral hem

of this country, in which were many of
revolutionary stock and signers of the
declaration of independence. She was
born in Brooklyn, N. Y, II years ago,
the daughter of DR.. Robert Edmund
and Mary Livingston Delaplaine Ed
mond. Her maiden name was Martha
Banyer Edmond. She received fin
ished education through instruction
from her mother, who was student of
the famous Sedgewick school, and also
at Union Hall academy, Jamaica, N. Z.
In 1866 she was married to Elisha Bur-
dick, who died about ten years ago.
Three sons and two daughters survive:
Robert c., Julius and George of Arr
iona, and Miss Mary L. Burdick and
Miss Alice L. Burdick.
The funeral was held from the home
