Mr.. Edward II. Hartman in his

in sheep. She has already arranged
to import several pedigreed rams

Run like mad to make a train
And find the trajA is late;
Wake up with ~ awful pain
And wonder what you ate;
Read none but best selling books
And can't tell what you've read;
Talk OF dresses, cash and cooks,
Or who is being wed;
Live some place a little while
And then desire to move;
Every week a change of style
To keen us from a groove;
Busy signal on the phone
Just when you want to talk:
Auto tires TO bits are blown
And then you have to walk;
Modern transportation lines
Without place to sit;
Landscape hid by painted signs
That make you throw Mt;
Daily scandal over graft
And statesmen swearing mad;
Half the people wholly daft
And everybody bad;
Noise around and on each side
And smoke all through the air.
People rushing eager-eyed.
Not getting anywhere;
Some one makes a hit today.
Tomorrow he's forgot:
All must work and none may play
This is the human lot
Modern work apd modern life.
Advantages supreme.
A whirling. seething. endless strife
How restful IL would seem
To find the olden. golden days
That we have long despised.
And ignorantly walk our ways
And be uncivilized.

Want Joint Dates
Endeavor to Arrange Respective Con-

Will Be Necessary.

A plan to advertise Omaha and help both
Shriners and Elks all over the United
States is being discussed with interest by
local men who are members Of those
lodges. The national conclave Of the Elks
is to be In Portland and tho Shriners meet
in Los Angeles, but the dates for the two
affairs have not yet been decided. This
will be left to the executive committees
OF the respective lodges. The Omaha Com
mercial club is discussing a big trade ex-
cursion, which is also to go to Los An
geles, and may go at about the same
time The local Elks particularly are
anxious that the dates for these three
affairs be arranged within the same fort
night Every year there are many men
who belong to both orders and because
of conventions being held at the same time
cannot attend but one. The Elks want
the Shriners to set their date within a
week OF the Elk date and then have the
trade excursion go at about the same
time This would make ii convenient for
Elks and Shriners everywhere, giving them
an opportunity to attend both conventions
on the same western trip and would bring
thousands OF people through Omaha just
about the time the big trade excursion
was writing "Omaha" all over the west
ern billboards. The matter will be taken
up with the commercial club and perhaps
later with the national boards of the
lodges.

Identification that was not cleared UP last
night
The man who was killed was standing
near a lunch wagon operated by Dan Flynn

passed by. The colored man was angersd
at remark made and fight ensued IN

Dr. A. II. Koenig, who was called at once,
arrived the man was dead and the assail-
ant had fled.
One suspect was arrested, who gave his
name first as Harry Spaulding and later
said his first name was Joe and not Harry.
Later Harry Evans and Florence Eldrege
were arrested, but an eyewitness OF the
crime declared Evans was not the right
man. and he thought Spaulding was toe
heavily built, but was not positive.
The body OF the dead man is at Larkin'i

relief expeditions covered the greater por-

of life than was contained in yesterdays
dispatches, which placed the number of
lives lost at about 100. With the arrival OF
additional relief workers the burned area
is being covered thoroughly.
Many Of the missing are believed to have
fled far into the interior and found refuge
at isolated farm houses and, although safe.
may not be heard from for several weeks.

Cartwright, jr., who were reported yester
day among the missing and probably lost.
are safe at Hailebury.
Reports of the latest survivors indicate
that the fires started in immense blotches
instead of in one place and failed TO cover
the whole district
| Frank Cochrane, minister OF lands and
mines, is convinced from his investigation
! that the loss of life will not exceed 100.
The first refugees of the fire-swept dis
tTict, horror-strlcken by the disaster, be-
! lleyed that the flames must have swept a
very great area The latest of the surviv-
ors say the devastated area was confined
