Pet Goose is Lost,
Lady's Temper, Too,
as Result of a Mix

Considerable trouble and much merrl-
ment has been caused by the live stock
which two of the Omaha manufacturers
Tuesdays parade.
l.. c.. Doup rented three geese from
woman in Florence and three from
David Cole, who deals in poultry. When
he returned them he got the fowls mixed
and the Florence woTnan's pet goose was
turned into a pen with a lot OF common
geese. The good womans temper was
much ruffled. She made things lively
for couple of days until Doup and
Cole finally picked out a goose that
seemed more amenable 10 human dis
cipline than the rest and sent 1t to her.
Even now they fear it may prove to
be the wrong one.
In addition to this trouble, Doup, who
paid 81 head to rent the geese, says
he has since learned that he could have
bought them for rs cents each and his
family do love roast goose.
F. e. Sanborn, Of stock food fame,
leased a COW. Shetland pony and a
bunch OF young pigs from a farmer, who
was to call for them at 4:3O and haul
them home. The floatmen waited from
4:so until midnight and Mr.. Farmer did
not show up, and then Walter Jardine,
who engineered the parade, had to haul
them out 10 the farm.
The farmer. It Is said, had absorbed too
much liquid cheer, caressed a stranger on
the head with a horse collar and had
landed in the city's bastlle.

The Omaha High School Glee

Walter b, Graham, local bari

among musical circles for the last
twenty years. .N
Mr.. Graham is Nebraska man
and has lived in Omaha for the

gained prominence in vocal work
by carrying a heavy bass part in
the University Of Nebraska Glee
club in 1880. From 1891 until 1893
Mr. Graham was member OF the
local Apollo club, then under tho
direction OF Prof. L. a. Terrens.
In 1904 Mr.. Graham was bass

Of those who had known him here and

Think of poor Robert Franz, one of

Yet volume after volume only serves to

A FATAL SALUTE.

Next day the garrison salutes its flag
and with drums beating and colors NY
ing marches out Of the ruins Of Sumter
to board a steamer and sail for New
York. Although the bombardment had
lasted thirty-four hours. within which
9 600 shot and shell had been hurled at
Sumter, not a man within it had been
killed or seriously injured. But by a
peryerse turn Of fate one life had to be
sacrificed inside her battled walls after
the fighting was all over. During the
ceremony Of saluting the flag her ruins
were still burning, and spark from the
diving fire entered the muZzle OF a salut-
, ing gun, which exploded and killed Pri-
yate Daniel Hough, who was buried in
side the post, the new Confederate garr!-
son uncovering beside his grave.
On the day after the evacuation Lin

the Stars and Stripes be flown by every
newspaper and private citizen whose
loyalty was In doubt. When the Sum-
