pital yesterday after an illness extending
over a nunber Of months. She lived In the
Pivonka block, Twenty-slxth and N streets,
up to the time she was taken to the county
hospital. She had lived in South Omaha
over fifteen years. The story OF her life
Is a sad one. She was deserted by her
husband when her son, who is now Is years
old, was an infant. From that time she
made an unequal struggle against poverty
ana disease, in which the one aggravated
the other more and more, The residents
of South Omaha who knew her will recall
her faithfulness to her son. The boy Is
now left alone and the mother will be
buried at county expense unless some rela-
tive renders assistance. The boy said he
had an uncle in Omaha, TO whom he went
in his trouble last night.
The boy has been working at the Omaha
Packing company plant. but has lost thar
place. Since the husband and father dis
appeared no word has ever been received
nor assistance Of any kind.
The arrangements for the funeral Of the
mother are made for today.
sewer Funnel About Done.
The National Construction company will
soon have completed the tunnel section Of
the Mud creek sewer. The work is prog
ressing we'll with the aid Of the COM
pressed air caisson. Thu presence of much
water in the soil has made the use Of
compressed cir necessary. 1t is said that
the upper section OF the tunnel, which was
made over a year ago, is filled with water.
in that case it will be dangerous when the
men working from below tap the completed
section. The compressed air will hold
back seeping water, but when the air can
escape freely through the water 1t will
rise through 1t, letting the water into the
lower section. Ar investigation of the first
section will be made before the danger
point is reached and II much water Is there
1t will be drained before the work goes
farther.
Schools Open Monday.
The South Omaha public schools will
convene Monday, September 6. The ses-
sion of the day will consist of a teachers
meeting at the high school building dur
ing the forenoon. The regular school work
begins Tuesday, the next day after Labor
day. II is expected that the enrolment
will be larger, both in the grades and In
the high school than ever before. The
school census, however. did not show a
striking increase.
During the week numbers Of the South
Omaha teachers nave been arriving from
their vacation trips. There is the usual
effort to get good rooms and boarding
places. In this the teachers are handi-
capped, not knowing exactly where they
will be assigned. N. M. Graham. super
inlendent of the city schools said yester-
duy that he had not made up the assign
ment lists, but that they would be ready
Saturday. The priclpal reason for delay
ing so long is to give no time for COM
plants or objections.
