Last Saturday night, while the depot
was crowded, it was as quiet as anyone
could want, and like he former rowdy-
ism at the postofHce, the marshal has
made It pleasant place for ladies and
gentlemen to go to. Now Agent Noble
wants 20 put up signs ''No Smoking"
and see that it is enforced, for there is
no sense OF fifty pipes and cigars going
full tilt there when lots of ladies are
there waiting for train. Let the men
go outside if they must smoke, and
have respect for the ladies present

are handled 1t is regular habit for
freight trains to back up or run across
the crossing while the moring passen-
ger train Is there, entirely blocking the
way for those who wish to get to or
from that train. They break the con-
nectian and open up the crossing, but
the moment the passenger train pulls
in, no matter how late it is or how long
people have waited for it. the waiting
freight train runs across the street and
blocks the way. Council should pass
an ordinance prohibiting it, then it viii

the puiseant monarch. on the Kings
Highway hired retainers are laboring hard
to get their pavilions and accoutrements in

ing OF High Carnival
Just on the eve Of this a note Of sorrow
has been sounded. King Ak-Sar- Ben has
lost in the death OF Elmer e. Bryson a
feudatory lord who served him right faith
fully for six years. Mr. Bryson was
member Of the Board OF Governors for two
terms six years, or from 1895 to 1900, in

ence to the widow viii be passed at the

Baby Jim" the prize fat man, who Is
TO be on exhibition al the Carnival. arrived
in Omaha Monday after many trials and
fluctuations on his journey here. Baby
Jim is a colored gem'man, and, according
TO his manager, tips the scales at exactly
I93 pounds
His arrival IN Omaha was almost melo-
dramatic, for after he had safely disem-
barked from the train and gone into the
baggage room. because he couldn't get into
the doors of the waiting room, he found
that is was impossible for his big bulk to
get into a dlnky Omaha cab. And so the
express company came to the rescue and
with his exhibition curtain draped around
him he came welcomed into our city up
side street in an express wagon.
The electricians are fully up to the car
perters on the Highway. and as soon as the
latter get more work done, the electricians
win resume. There seems to be no basis
for the story that the work is delayed on
account OF labor troubles.
