day.

The Fraternal order Of Eagles met Tues
day evening and decided on the purchase
Of the First Methodist church at Twenty
third and N streets, where the new Eagle
hail for the city of South Omaha is to be
erected. This purchase will include the
parsonage The price paid was $500. The
church will give possession at once and
will erect a new building in the northern
section OF the city.
The negotiations for the church have
been In progress for over two weeks, and 1t
was a matter OF general discussion among
the members and 1t was agreed that this
property was the most feasible for the site
of a new hall.
The dimensions of the new hall have
been made public and will be ample to &C
commodate the large fraternal order. The
membership in South Omaha is over 700
and they are well able to build fine
building. The fund in the treasury is at
present sufficient to purchase the new site
and leave fair balance to apply on the
building itself. The parsonage will prob
ably be sold soon and will be removed.
Rev. ]. M. Boutwell, is to have possession
Of the parsonage until November.
Packing House Rushed.
One of the businest places In South
Omaha is the new hog house of the Cud-
ahy Packing company. The contractors are
straining every nerve TO get the building
completed by September /. At that time,
or as near thereafter as possible the new
plant will be put in operation. The loca-
ton of the new plant is such that 1t will
save long drive of the animals and thus
be a great convenience and economy
Many hogs die annually because OF the long
drive through the chutes.
The heavy machinery of the plant is now
being installed and the interior floors are
being laid and made sanitary, after ap.
proved modern methods.
The exterior has already a finished ap-
pearance and the hog chutes are con.
structed, ready for operation.
AS soon as the date can positively be
set the company proposes to extend invita-
lions for the grand opening.
